Objective To increase the solubility and relieve the mucous irritation of cantharidin (CA) by preparing cantharidin-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (CA/HP-β-CD) inclusion complex.Methods The inclusion complex was prepared by co-evaporation method and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC),X-ray diffractometry (XRD),and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).Results The disappearance of CA as well as the shift of exothermic peaks shown in DSC results indicated the complexation phenomenon.XRD results showed that the crystalline CA pattern had disappeared,and in NMR results,H-5 shifted from δ 3.731to 3.695 after complexation and H-2 shifted from δ 3.626 to 3.598,which suggested that part of the drug had entered the HP-β-CD cavity to form an inclusion complex.The solubility increased 10.3 times after complexation and the mucous irritation of CA was relieved remarkably.Conclusion Through complexation with HP-β-CD,the solubility and dissolution rate of CA are improved significantly,and the irritation of musous is relieved.

Objective To understand the incidence of common geriatric syndromes in hospitalized patients,and analyze the relationship between different kinds of geriatric syndromes.Methods A crosssectional study was conducted by five well-trained investigators-300 patients were chosen from geriatric department and medical department within 3 top three hospitals in Chengdu.Results 300 copies of questionnaires were distributed in total,and 300 questionnaires were returned (response rate 100％).Among those,277 questionnaires were considered valid (valid response rate 92.3％).Among those elderly which were above 65 years old,having risk of falling accounted for 91.3％,feeling pain accounted for 79.1％,chronic constipation accounted for 59.2％,having risk of malnutrition accounted for 49.1％,malnutrition accounted for 28.2％,having risk of pressure ulcers accounted for 32.5％,incontinence accounted for 25.3％,and dysphagia accounted for 17％.The correlation among these syndromes was signifcant.Conclusions The overall incidence of geriatric syndromes in hospitalized patients is higher than that in the community.These syndromes are correlated with each other.One can be a risk factor of other geriatric syndromes and also could affect each other.

Objective:To analyze the temperature difference of benign and malignant parotid gland tumors in preoperative infrared thermography (IRT), and to provide the basis for predicting tumor properties.Methods:The clinical data of 98 patients with parotid gland tumor admitted to the Department of Oral and maxillofacial Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College, from May 2021 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 61 males and 37 females, aged (51.1±16.0) years (10-86 years). In addition to routine examination, the temperature difference between the lesion site of parotid gland and the contralateral mirror area was measured by infrared thermal imager in all patients one day before surgery. The maximum diameter (dmax) and location of the tumor (deep or superficial lobe) were recorded according to preoperative clinical examination and imaging examinations such as CT and ultrasound. The patients were divided into three groups by tumor size: dmax≤2 cm, 2 cm4 cm. The patients were also divided into different groups: deep lobe group and superficial lobe group (according to the tumor location), benign group and malignant group (according to postoperative pathological results). The relationship between temperature difference, pathology, size and location was analyzed.Results:There were 79 cases in the benign group and 19 cases in the malignant group. The temperature difference of the healthy and affected side in the malignant group [(1.73±0.21) ℃] was significantly higher than that in the benign group [(0.73±0.32) ℃] ( t=16.70, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in temperature difference between the healthy and affected sides of tumors with different diameters ( P>0.05). The temperature difference of healthy and affected side of tumor in superficial lobe [(0.97±0.50) ℃] was significantly higher than that in deep lobe [(0.67±0.44) ℃] ( t=2.24, P=0.028). Conclusions:The difference of temperature difference between benign and malignant parotid gland tumors detected by IRT is statistically significant, which can be used to predict tumor properties, and has certain clinical application value.

Objective To construct and implement the gastroenterology nursing quality monitoring index, and to improve the quality of nursing in the specialty. Methods A research team was formed to analyze the major problems in nursing quality according to the top 5 diseases in gastroenterology department. The research process was based on the characteristics of gastroenterology, focusing on nursing operating skills, diseases and complications and patient safety, in the methods of literature review and brain storm. Finally, a total of 6 specialist nursing quality monitoring indicators were established: the implementation rate of digestive endoscopy preoperative preparation, the incidence of hematemesis asphyxia, the plugging rate of nasal biliary (pancreatic) drainage; the incidence of perianal skin injury in diarrhea patients; the incidence of hypoglycemia in fasting patients and the satisfaction of pain management. The key content and scientific measurement of the indicators were clarified by retrospectively analyzing and comparing 6 monitoring indicators between 2014 and 2015, 2015 and 2016 respectively. The statistical methed used was χ2test. Results In 2015, all the indicators improved except the incidence of hematemesis asphyxia than those in 2014, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=34.710,9.223,7.834,5.547,32.899;P<0.05). In addition, all the 6 indicators improved than those in 2015, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=102.334,5.496,4.257, 3.953,39.191,192.910;P< 0.05). Conclusions The establishment of gastroenterology nursing quality monitoring indicators, the development of targeted care measures, and the continuous improvement in the quality of specialist nursing can improve the quality of nursing management.

Objective To evaluate the influence of stress distributions on bone-anchored maxillary protraction at different protraction sites, so as to guide patients to choose an optimal protraction site in clinic. Methods A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of child head with implant anchorages was establised. Four protraction sites were set according to the position of implant installation. Working condition 1: the alveolar bone at the intersection of distal 2 mm of primary lateral incisor crown distal surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 2: the alveolar bone at the intersection of mesial 2 mm of maxillary first primary molar crown mesial surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 3: the alveolar bone at the intersection of mesial 2 mm of maxillary first molar crown mesial surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. Working condition 4: the alveolar bone at the intersection of distal 2 mm of maxillary first molar crown distal surface and gingival cervical margin to 5 mm. The finite element models were loaded with 500 g protraction force at each side with 30° forward direction to the occlusal plane. Stress distributions on each suture were analysed. Results The maximum stress of frontomaxillary suture was in working condition 2 (1 477-28 190 Pa). The maximum stress of nasomaxillary suture was in working condition 1 (5.296-924 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticomaxillary suture was in working condition 4(394.7-13 130 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticofrontalis suture was in working condition 4 (495.2-31 690 Pa). The maximum stress of zygomaticotemporal suture was in working condition 3 (1 148-15 870 Pa). The maximum stress of medianpalatine suture was in working condition I (6.479-730 Pa). Conclusions When the protraction sites are set in distal maxillary primary lateral incisor and mesial maxillary first primary molar, it is of positive significance to improve the concave profile, especially in nose root. When the protraction sites are set in mesial or distal maxillary first molar, it is of positive significance to improve the concave profile, especially in maxillary basal bone of the midface.

cFos is one of the most widely-studied genes in the field of neuroscience. Currently, there is no systematic database focusing on cFos in neuroscience. We developed a curated database—cFos-ANAB—a cFos-based web tool for exploring activated neurons and associated behaviors in rats and mice, comprising 398 brain nuclei and sub-nuclei, and five associated behaviors: pain, fear, feeding, aggression, and sexual behavior. Direct relationships among behaviors and nuclei (even cell types) under specific stimulating conditions were constructed based on cFos expression profiles extracted from original publications. Moreover, overlapping nuclei and sub-nuclei with potentially complex functions among different associated behaviors were emphasized, leading to results serving as important clues to the development of valid hypotheses for exploring as yet unknown circuits. Using the analysis function of cFos-ANAB, multi-layered pictures of networks and their relationships can quickly be explored depending on users’ purposes. These features provide a useful tool and good reference for early exploration in neuroscience. The cFos-ANAB database is available at www.cfos-db.net.
