Objective A feasible and stable mouse model of thoracic aortic dissection(TAD)combined with acute lung injury(ALI)was established using β-aminopropionitrile monofumarate(BAPN)1 g/(kg·d)administered in drinking water.The mouse model of TAD combined with acute lung injury(ALI)was established to provide a rational animal model to study TAD combined with ALI.Methods Forty-five SPF-grade 3-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were selected and randomly allocated to a CON group(normal dietary water;15 mice)or BAPN group(administration in sterile water at 1 g/(kg·d);30 mice)for 4 weeks.During the experimental period,the general condition and modeling rate of mice were observed.TAD model mice were validated,and the BAPN group was divided into TAD and non-TAD groups by measuring the maximum diameter of the thoracic aorta and HE staining of aortic tissues.HE pathological staining,the wet/dry weight(W/D)ratio,total protein level in bronchioalveolar lavage fluid(BALF),and interleukin(IL)-1 β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in BALF)were used to validate the TAD combined ALI model in mice.Results BAPN treatment significantly delayed the increase in body mass and water intake of mice.Compared with CON and non-TAD groups,the maximum diameter of the thoracic aorta of mice in the TAD group was significantly thickened(P＜0.05).HE staining of the aorta showed significant thickening of the middle aortic layer,and the structure of the aortic wall was damaged and disordered.HE staining of lung tissues showed significant interstitial edema and inflammatory exudation accompanied by enlargement of alveolar lumen,alveolar wall epithelial exfoliation and hyaline membrane formation,and a significant increase in the pathological scores of lung injury(P＜0.05).Total protein levels and expression of IL-1β,IL-6,and TNF-α in lung tissue,W/D ratio,and BALF were also significantly increased(P＜0.05),whereas no significant difference was observed in the above indexes between the other two groups.Conclusions A mouse model of thoracic aortic dissection combined with acute lung injury can be established by BAPN administration in drinking water.

To summarize the nursing care of a very low birth weight premature infant with severe type Ⅱbronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)during the transition period from hospitalization to home.The care of the infant was provided one-on-one by a BPD specialist nurse throughout the period.The key points of transitional care from hospitalization to home include:implementing tracheotomy and mechanical ventilation care to ensure stable blood oxygen saturation of the infant;providing nutritional support to improve the nutritional status of the infant;implementing step-by-step rehabilitation measures to improve the neuromotor development of the infant;implementing family integrated care to promote the primary caregivers of the infant to master nursing knowledge and skills;conducting personalized discharge follow-up with a multidisciplinary team to improve the quality of home care for this infant.After being hospitalized for 106 days,the infant was successfully discharged with a tracheotomy tube.At the age of 2 years and 6 months,a tracheotomy closure surgery was performed.After the surgery,the infant was able to breathe autonomously without symptoms of breathing difficulties and returned to normal family life.

Obesity has become a major public health problem that threatens human health.Abdominal obesity, especially the increase in visceral adipose tissue(VAT), can in some cases lead to insulin resistance and other metabolism-related diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, thrombosis, and pro-inflammatory metabolic abnormalities.Metabolic syndrome is a group of clinical syndromes characterized by the co-occurrence of various metabolic diseases, including insulin resistance and inflammatory response.In a large extent, the occurrence and development of the metabolic syndrome are related to fat aging and visceral obesity related.Visceral obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, and can be changed, so by setting realistic goals, by insisting on reasonable exercise and diet control can achieve control of visceral fat, prevention and control of the metabolic syndrome.This review reviews the concept and pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome and the relationship between visceral obesity and metabolic syndrome.

To study the clinical effect of non-ampullary duodenal mucosal lesions treated by endoscopic resection. A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 58 cases of duodenal non-ampullary mucosal lesions treated by endoscopic resection from January 2016 to June 2019 from 3 hospitals. Among 58 cases, 27 lesions (46.6%) were located in the duodenal bulb and 31 (53.4%) in the duodenal descending part (including the ball-drop boundary). Forty-six patients (79.3%) received endoscopic mucosal resection, 7 (12.1%) received endoscopic submucosal dissection and 5 (8.6%) received pre-cut endoscopic mucosal resection. Few postoperative complications were found except for 1 case of intraoperative bleeding, 1 case of delayed bleeding 2 days after surgery, 1 case of lesion residual and 2 cases of postoperative abdominal pain. No perforation occurred. Endoscopic treatment of non-ampullary duodenal mucosal lesions is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of maternal stress under the epidemic, and analyze its relevant factors, to provide a reference for improving pregnancy quality and psychological counseling services during pregnancy. Methods From April to July 2020, 293 pregnant women from maternity and childcare hospital in Wuhan and Huanggang were selected as the subjects of the cross-sectional survey. Results The average score of the PSS pressure scale for pregnant women was (17.75±6.07), among which no/mild, moderate and severe stress accounted for 22.8%, 63.1% and 14.1%, respectively. According to multiple linear regression analysis, the factors affecting the maternal stress level of pregnant women are poor psychological resilience (β=-0.206, 95% CI: -0.288~-0.124), low family income (β=-0.370, 95% CI: -0.729~-0.012), excessively fearful about their babies (β=1.775, 95% CI: 0.640~2.910) and themselves (β=1.695, 95% CI: 0.625~2.766) about infected with the new virus. Conclusion The present study explores the factors related to maternal stress and depression during the epidemic. For pregnant women with high psychological stress, it is recommended that medical staff and family members should take care of them in a timely manner, strengthen their social support, and provide psychological counseling positively in order to improve pregnant women's psychological mood and promote maternal and infant health.

Objective:To explore the application value of Jiawei Yangyin Jiedu Decoction in the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)- related rash of lung cancer, and observe its influence on inflammatory index and immune function of patients, aiming to provide effective treatment for this disease.Methods:From December 2016 to January 2019, 90 patients with EGFR-TKI-related rash belonging to Yin deficiency and toxic type in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in Yongkang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Zhejiang Province were included. The patients were divided into control group and observation group by random digits table method with 45 case each. The patients in control group were treated with mupirocin ointment, and the patients in observation group were treated with Jiawei Yangyin Jiedu Decoction on the basis of the control group. The clinical efficacy was compared after 4 weeks.Results:After treatment, the number of lesions and the number of sites, rash area estimation, rash color and other symptoms in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (0.71 ± 0.27) scores vs. (1.36 ± 0.32) scores, (0.68 ± 0.14) scores vs. (1.24 ± 0.27) scores, (0.53 ± 0.17) scores vs. (1.31 ± 0.24) scores, the total effective rate was significantly higher than that in control group: 80.00% (36/45) vs. 28.89% (13/45), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The blood samples of the elbows were taken before and after treatment. The immune function indexes of CD 4+/CD 8+, CD 4+ and CD 3+ after treatment in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group: 1.46 ± 0.20 vs. 1.27 ± 0.23, 0.378 ± 0.042 vs. 0.323 ± 0.031 and 0.573 ± 0.062 vs. 0.518 ± 0.060, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The levels of carcinoembryonic antigen and cancer antigen 125 after treatment in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group: (28.17 ± 8.45) μg/L vs. (35.37 ± 9.73) μg/L and (25.29 ± 6.15) kU/L vs. (36.42 ± 12.06) kU/L, the quality of daily life score was significantly higher than that in control group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of inflammatory markers such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β in observation group were lower than those in control group, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with lung cancer EGFR-TKI-related rash, it is important to treat them with Jiawei Yangyin Jiedu Decoction, which can reduce inflammation, improve immunity and improve rash.

Objective:To study on the association between vasoactive-inotropic score(VIS) and mortality of total arch replacement in Stanford type A aortic dissection(TAAD) patients.Methods:Data of TAAD patients admitted from January 2018 to November 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 187 patients were finally included in the analysis. 30-day mortality was calculated and the patients were divided into death group(18 cases) and non-death group(169 cases). The VIS at each time point and perioperative indexes of the two groups were compared. The value of VIS in predicting mortality was analyzed.Results:The 30-day mortality was 9.63%(18/187). The operation time, cardiopulmonary bypass time, ventilator assistance time, the incidence of tracheotomy and major postoperative complications in the death group were significantly higher than those in the non-death group( P<0.05). VIS of death group was significantly higher than that of non-death group( P<0.05). At each time point, the area under ROC curve(AUC) of VIS was greater than 0.500( P<0.05), among which AUC of ICU 48 h VIS was the largest(0.817), and the best cut-off point of ICU 48 h VIS was determined to be 9, sensitivity 61.1%, specificity 92.3%. Logistic regression analysis showed that ICU 48 h VIS was an independent risk factor for predicting the death of total arch replacement in TAAD patients( OR=1.465, 95% CI: 1.194-1.796, P<0.001). Conclusion:When ICU 48 h VIS≥9, the risk of death was increased in patients with total arch replacement of TAAD. VIS may be a useful reference index for predicting the mortality of total arch replacement in TAAD patients in the early postoperative period.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and molecular characteristics of human brucellosis in Qinghai province from 2005 to 2019 and provide basic data for brucellosis prevention and control.Method:The data about human brucellosis in Qinghai from 2005 to 2019 were collected from the information system of China CDC to describe the spatial, population and time distributions of human brucellosis cases in Qinghai. The isolated strains were identified and typed with traditional methods, BCSP31-PCR, AMOS-PCR and multi-locus variablenumber tandem repeat (MLVA-16).Results:A total of 577 human brucellosis cases were reported in Qinghai from 2005 to 2019, the average prevalence rate was 0.07 per 100 000 person, there were statistic differences among different years. The disease occurred all the year around, but mainly during March-October. The 577 cases were distributed in 31 counties (cities/districts) from 6 autonomous prefectures (cities). The prevalence rats of five counties were high, i.e. Menyuan Hui autonomous county (22.88 %, 132/577), Tianjun county (10.57 %, 61/577)、Xining city (10.57 %, 61/577), Henan Mongol Autonomous County (10.51 %, 58/577) and Haiyan county (9.53 %, 55/577). Age of the cases ranged from 8 years to 82 years, and the male to female ratio of the cases was 1.8∶1 (374/203). The prevalence rate in herdsman (47.83 %, 276/577) was highest among different occupational populations. Ten isolates were all Brucella melitensis strains, belonging to biovar 3, and clustering analysis indicated that the 10 strains had 5 genotypes, in which 2 were distinct, the remaining 3 were same. MLVA-16 analysis indicated that the 10 strains had close relationship with 26 B. melitensis strains isolated in Qinghai previously. Conclusions:The prevalence of brucellosis increased in Qinghai in recent years, we should strengthen the population based brucellosis surveillance and reporting. MLVA-16 indicated the gene diversity of the Brucella strains, suggesting that MLVA-16 can be used for genetic diversity analysis and molecular epidemiology survey to improve brucellosis surveillance.

Objective: To investigate the clinical value of gallbladder-preserving cholelithotomy by natural orifice transumbilical endoscopic surgery on patients with cholecystolithiasis. Methods: A retrospective study was performed on data of 15 patients with cholecystolithiasis, who underwent gallbladder-preserving cholelithotomy by natural orifice transumbilical endoscopic surgery from April 2018 to July 2018. The operative data, including situation of operation, operative time, intraoperative hemorrhage, and postoperative complications were recorded. Results: The procedure was performed successfully in all patients with a mean operative time of 108±12 min (ranged from 92-129 min). The intraoperative hemorrhage was 10-30 mL. Eight patients suffered from slight right upper abdominal pain, and 7 patients felt slight pain in umbilical a week after surgery. No fever, incision infection, umbilical hemia, peritonitis, and ascites were reported. The clear-liquid diet was recommended for one day after operation, and postoperative activity was allowed since the second day after operation. All patients were discharged on the fourth or fifth day, and all recovered to their normal life at one week after discharge. Follow-up showed that the scar was small and hidden in umbilical without visible incision after one month. Ultrasonic examination results showed that gallbladder contractile function worked perfectly in four patients and no gallbladder stone was found after three months. Conclusion Gallbladder-preserving cholelithotomy by natural orifice transumbilical endoscopic surgery is a safe and effective option for patients with cholecystolithiasis, provides excellent cosmetic outcomes, and can be appropriately carried out under the strict control of surgical indications.

Objective To screen the most suitable medium for Brucella drug susceptibility test, and observe the resistance of human derived Brucella to different antibiotics. Methods Totally 180 strains of Brucella isolated from 25 provinces (municipalities, autonomous regions) in recent years were taken as observation objects. Mueller-Hinton ( MH ) agar , MH blood agar and Brinell agar were used to carried out the drug susceptibility test in vitro, and to compare the results of drug susceptibility test of different medium; the most suitable Brucella drug susceptibility test medium was used to detect the resistance of human derived Brucella to Doxycycline, Rifampicin, Streptomycin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Ceftriaxone sodium, Co-trimoxazole and Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid by K-B drug sensitive paper, and to observe the formation of antibacterial ring around the drug sensitive paper. Results The growth of Brucella on the MH agar and MH blood agar were slower than that on the Brinell agar, and the antibacterial rings were not obvious. All the 180 strains of Brucella were sensitive to seven antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Rifampicin, Streptomycin, Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, Ceftriaxone sodium, and Amoxicillin/Clavulanic acid; and 70 strains of Brucella were resistant to Co-trimoxazole, accounting for 39％ (70/180); Brucella strains resistant to Co-trimoxazole were found in 21 provinces. Conclusions Brinell agar is the most suitable medium for Brucella susceptibility test. The human derived Brucella is resistant to Co-trimoxazole; the resistant strains are distributed in 21 provinces ( municipalities , autonomous regions ) . It is recommended that relevant departm ents of the province ( municipalities , autonomous regions ) carry out epidemiological investigations on the resistance of Brucella, and strengthen the monitoring of drug resistance in clinical drugs of brucellosis patients.
