Objective:To explore the effect of evidence-based nursing practice on the prevention and management of urinary tract infection in patients with radical prostatectomy.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2020, 106 patients with radical prostatectomy who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the research object by convenience sampling method. The patients were divided into the observation group (53 cases) and the control group (53 cases) by random number table method. The observation group was given evidence-based nursing for the prevention and management of urinary tract infection, while the control group was given routine nursing. The postoperative urinary tract infection incidence and urethral orifice status were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence of urinary tract infection in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The urethral orifice state score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The evidence-based nursing applied in the prevention and management of urinary tract infection in patients with radical prostatectomy has an exact effect, which can effectively prevent urinary tract infection and improve the quality of urethral orifice nursing.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)and brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)levels with clinical prognosis of acute myocardial infarction.Methods:A total of 108 patients with acute myocardial infarction combined with diabetes mellitus, who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)from March 2016 to June 2017 in our hospital, were enrolled.According to the HbA1c level, patients were divided into three groups: Group A(HbA1c≤6.9%, n=36), Group B(7%≤HbA1c≤7.9%, n=31)and Group C(HbA1c≥8%, n=41). HbA1c and NT-proBNP levels, cardiac function classification at admission and discharge, the incidence of adverse cardiac events during hospitalization and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)at admission, discharge and 3 months after discharge were analyzed.Results:Among the three groups, plasma NT-proBNP levels were higher in Group C than in Group B and Group A( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between Group B and Group C( P<0.05). Furthermore, HbA1c levels were positively correlated with NT-proBNP levels in Group C( P<0.05). Cardiac function grading was better in Group A and Group B than in Group C at discharge.During hospitalization, the incidence of adverse cardiac events in Group C was 29.3%, which was higher than in Group A(8.3%)and Group B(9.7%)( P<0.05). LVEF levels were significantly improved in Group A and Group B at discharge and 3 months after discharge, compared with those at admission, while Group C had no significant improvement in LVEF levels and had lower LVEF than Group A and Group B( P<0.05). Conclusions:HbA1c and NT proBNP levels can be used as a joint monitoring indicator in patients with acute myocardial infarctions after PCI, to help prevent and reduce the incidence of complications and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI and improve clinical prognosis.

Objective:
To evaluate the effect of down-regulating SALL4 on the radiosensitivity of leukemia cells, aiming to provide new ideas for improving radiosensitivity of leukemia patients.
Methods:
Human acute myeloid leukemia cell line HL-60 infected with shRNA SALL4 and shRNA control lentivirus was classified into the Lv-shSALL4 group and Lv-shNC group. The levels of SALL4 mRNA and protein in cells were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. The infected cells treated with 8 Gy dose irradiation were assigned into the Lv-shSALL4+ radiation and Lv-shNC+ radiation groups. The cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The levels of cleaved Caspase-3, cleaved Caspase-9 and Bax proteins in cells were determined by Western blot. The cells in the Lv-shSALL4 and Lv-shNC groups were exposed to 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 Gy irradiation. The radiosensitivity ratio was determined by cell clone test.
Results:
The level of SALL4 in the Lv-shSALL4 group was significantly lower than that in the Lv-shNC group (
