BackgroundThere exist differences in the subjective and objective cognitive functions of patients with depressive disorder, ane there are limited research on influencing factors of such phenomenon currently. ObjectiveTo explore the differences in subjective and objective cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder as well as influencing factors, and to provide references for further understanding of cognitive impairment in patients with depressive disorder. MethodsA total of 77 patients with depressive disorder who received outpatient or inpatient treatment in the Fourth People's Hospital of Chengdu from January 13, 2022 to December 11, 2023 were selected for the study. These patients also met the diagnostic criteria of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition(DSM-5). Various tools were employed to assess patients in this study: Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) for the depressive symptoms, Perceived Deficits Questionnaire for Depression (PDQ-D) and Chinese Version of Brief Neurocognitive Test Battery (C-BCT) for the subjective and objective cognitive function, Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) for the social function, and Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness(CGI-SI) for the severity of patient's condition. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation of subjective and objective cognitive function and their differences with age, years of education, MADRS total score, SDS total score, and CGI-SI score. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of the differences between subjective and objective cognitive function. ResultsThere was a statistically significant difference in the total PDQ-D scores and the difference of subjective and objective cognitive function (D value) between depressive patients with and without medication (t=-4.228, -2.392, P<0.05 or 0.01). There was no statistically significant correlation in subjective and objective cognitive function in patients with depressive disorder (r=-0.148, P>0.05). Negative correlations can be observed between the PDQ-D total score and age or years of education (r=-0.333, -0.369, P<0.01). The PDQ-D total score was positively correlated with MADRS total score, SDS total score and CGI-SI score (r=0.487, 0.637, 0.434, P<0.01). D value was negatively correlated with age and years of education (r=-0.411, -0.362, P<0.01), while positively correlated with MADRS total score, SDS total score and CGI-SI score (r=0.259, 0.468, 0.299, P<0.05 or 0.01). Age (β=-0.328, P<0.01) and SDS total score (β=0.409, P<0.01) were two predictive factors for D value. ConclusionThe difference between subjective and objective cognitive function among patients with depressive disorder is related to several factors including age, years of education, severity of symptoms and impairment of social function.

Objective:To explore the effect of oral nutritional supplements (ONS) during labor on delivery outcomes in low-risk pregnant women and the risk factors of cesarean section.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in a total of 206 full-term pregnant women with singleton and cephalic presentation at the delivery center in our hospital from March 15th to May 15th, 2022. Standard diet education was given to all those women by midwives. Pregnant women who received the enteral nutrient solution prepared by the Department of Clinical Nutrition during labor were in the ONS group ( n = 110), while those who did not were in the control group ( n = 96). The baseline characteristics and delivery outcomes were compared between the two groups, and the risk factors of cesarean section were also analyzed. Results:There were no significant differences in terms of maternal age, height, baseline weight, baseline body mass index (BMI), weight gain during pregnancy, prenatal BMI, gestational week, intraspinal labor analgesia, oxytocin, gastrointestinal intolerance, neonatal length, and weight between the two groups ( P > 0.05). However, the total oral energy intake during labor in the ONS group was significantly higher than that in the control group ([1 349.99± 569.51] kJ vs [249.59 ± 455.19] kJ, P < 0.01). The rate of vaginal delivery in the ONS group was significantly higher than that in the control group (93.6% vs 81.3%, P = 0.01), and the duration of the first stage of labor ([487.06 ± 232.94] min vs [416.17 ± 191.13] min, P = 0.03) was also significantly longer in the ONS group. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the duration of the second and third stages of labor, perineal laceration, cervical laceration, vaginal laceration, amount of bleeding, hospital stay, and Apgar score after birth ( P > 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal age was a risk factor for changing to cesarean section in women with low-risk pregnancies ( OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.40, P = 0.02), while ONS during labor ( OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.85, P = 0.02) and intraspinal labor analgesia ( OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.26, P < 0.01) were protective factors. Conclusions:ONS during labor can significantly increase the vaginal delivery rate, without increasing the incidence of gastrointestinal intolerance in low-risk pregnant women. Maternal age is a risk factor for cesarean section while ONS during labor and intraspinal labor analgesia are protective factors in women with low-risk pregnancies.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) after a spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:The medical records of 403 SCI patients were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into UTI group and no-UTI group according to whether they had a UTI at admission. Gender, age, cause of injury, injury level of the spinal cord, voluntary anal contraction, time from injury to admission, American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, axillary temperature at admission, complications at admission (diabetes, hypertension, fracture of the pelvis, pressure sores or anemia), white blood cell count and urinary bacteria were compared between the two groups. Binary logistic regression was used to highlight the risk factors for a UTI after an SCI.Results:Of the 354 patients included in the final analysis, 62 (17.51%) had a UTI at admission. The regression showed that UTI after an SCI was closely related to an inability to voluntarily contract the anus, anemia, elevated white blood cell count and a high level of bacteria in the urine.Conclusions:Inability to contract the anus, fever, anemia and an elevated white blood cell count are independent indicators of a UTI after an SCI. A temperature ≥37.3°C is a simple indicator of a concentration of bacteria in the urine ≥1266/μL.

Objectives:This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of bendamustine in combination with rituximab (BR regimen) for the treatment of newly diagnosed indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-iNHL) and elderly mantle cell lymphoma (eMCL) .Methods:From December 1, 2020 to September 10, 2022, a multi-center prospective study was conducted across ten Grade A tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province, China. The BR regimen was administered to evaluate its efficacy and safety in newly diagnosed B-iNHL and eMCL patients, and all completed at least four cycles of induction therapy.Results:The 72 enrolled patients with B-iNHL or MCL were aged 24-74 years, with a median age of 55 years. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status scores of 0-1 were observed in 76.4% of patients, while 23.6% had scores of 2. Disease distribution included follicular lymphoma (FL) (51.4% ), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) (33.3% ), eMCL (11.1% ), and the unknown subtype (4.2% ). According to the Ann Arbor staging system, 16.7% and 65.3% of patients were diagnosed with stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ lymphomas, respectively. Following four cycles of BR induction therapy, the overall response rate was 98.6%, with a complete response (CR) rate of 83.3% and a partial response (PR) rate of 15.3%. Only one eMCL patient experienced disease progression during treatment, and only one FL patient experienced a relapse. Even when evaluated using CT alone, the CR rate was 63.9%, considering the differences between PET/CT and CT assessments. The median follow-up duration was 11 months (range: 4-22), with a PFS rate of 96.8% and an OS rate of 100.0%. The main hematologic adverse reactions included grade 3-4 leukopenia (27.8%, with febrile neutropenia observed in 8.3% of patients), grade 3-4 lymphopenia (23.6% ), grade 3-4 anemia (5.6% ), and grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (4.2% ). The main non-hematologic adverse reactions such as fatigue, nausea/vomiting, rash, and infections occurred in less than 20.0% of patients.Conclusion:Within the scope of this clinical trial conducted in China, the BR regimen demonstrated efficacy and safety in treating newly diagnosed B-iNHL and eMCL patients.

Objectives:To assess bowel function and quality of life in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC)after ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA).Methods:Clinical data of 37 UC patients after IPAA between 2014 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University. The IBDQ and Bowel Function questionnaire were used for analyzing correlation between clinical variables and quality of life or bowel function.Results:Laparoscopic operation was performed in 12 cases at stage 2 and 25 cases at stage 3. Postoperative defecation of stage 3 patients were better than that of stage 2 ( t=6.72, P<0.05). The number of daily defecation in age >45-year-old group was more than that in <45-year-old ( t=3.49, P<0.05), and the rate of evening stool seepage in the older group was higher than in the younger group( t=5.28, P<0.05). The total score of intestinal symptoms of IBDQ in patients of pouchitis was lower than that without pouchitis ( r=0.330, P<0.05). The total score in age >45 in terms of systemic symptoms ( r=0.349, P<0.05) and emotional function ( r=0.379, P<0.05) was higher than age <45. Conclusions:Outcomes of UC patients after IPAA are satisfactory, bowel function and quality of life is related with age, and stage of IPAA affect postoperative defecation.
