Objective To investigate the clinical nursing path on the psychological status of cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time.Methods Two hundred cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time were equally randomized into the observation group and control group:the former used conventional nursing method and the latter a clinical nursing path.The self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)were used to assess their psychological state.Results After intervention,the scores on SDS and SAS in the former group were significantly lower than those in the latter group(all P<0.05). The satisfaction rate in the former was higher than that of the control(P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical nursing path makes it possible to effectively alleviate the psychological burden of the cerebral infarction patients hospitalized for the first time and improve the patients’satisfaction with nursing working.

Objective To explore the value of sonogram index scoring system in the prenatal diagnosis of trisomy 18 syndrome.Methods Neonates who had prenatal sonographic screening in our tertiary center were followed up from January 2004 to December 2009.The fetuses who were suspected with abnormalities received karyotype analysis.All fetuses were divided into case group ( trisomy 18 group) and the control group (non-trisomy 18 group).The latter group was constituted of fetuses with trisomy 21,trisomy 13,other chromosomal abnormalitis and fetuses with normal karyotype.Logistic regression analysis was done to decide the individual sonographic features of trisomy 18.A score was assigned for ultrasound markers according to their likelihood ratios for trisomy 18 syndrome.A score of 3 was assigned for the sonographic features with likelihood ratio over 200,2 for those with likelihood ratio between 100 and 200,and 1 for those with likelihood ratio less than 100.The diagnostic efficacy of the ultrasound index scoring system was evaluated by diagnostic test.The optimal cutoff value was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The study group included 59 fetuses with trisomy 18.And 26 486 fetuses did not have trisomy 18 syndrome,including 93 fetuses with trismoy 21,19 fetuses with trisomy 13,134 fetuses with other chromosomal abnormalities,3739 fetuses with normal karyotype and 22 501 fetuses with normal appearance after birth.Two or more structural defects were observed in each trisomy 18 fetus.The highest incidence of sonogram abnormalities was extremities abnormalities (85％,50/59 ),followed by cardiac defects (83％,49/59) and central nervous system (CNS) malformations (75％,44/59).Overlapping fingers,ventricular septal defect and strawberry-shaped skull were the most common abnormalities in extremities abnormalities,cardiac defects and CNS malformations,respectively.Logistic regression identified 16 markers,including choroid plexus cyst,strawberry-shaped skull,enlarged cisterua magna,holoprosencephaly,low-set ears,ventricular septal defect,hypoplastic left heart syndrome,etc.Different scores were assigned according to the likelihood ratios of these markers.In trisomy 18 group,fetuses with the sonographic score of 1,4,9,10 to 16 were 2％ ( 1/59),9％ (5/59),10％ (6/59) and 32％ (19/59) respectively,whereas in non-trisomy 18 group they were 2.549％ (675/26 486),0.215％ (57/26 486),0.004％ ( 1/26 486) and zero,respectively.When a score of 4 was used as the cutoff value for diagnosing fetal trisomy 18,the sensitivity and specificity were 0.966 and 0.997,respectively.The area under ROC curve was 0.999.Conclusions The ultrasound index scoring system may help to quantify the ultrasound features and has a good diagnostic value for fetal trisomy 18 syndrome.The cutoff value of 4 has the best diagnostic efficacy.

SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) is the etiologic agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome. The aim of this study was to construct Sars-CoV membrane (M), nucleocapsid (N) and spike 2 (S2) gene eukaryotic expression plasmids, and identify their expression in vitro. Gene fragments encoding N protein, M protein and S2 protein of SARS-CoV were amplified by PCR using cDNA obtained from lung samples of SARS patients as template, and subcloned into pcDNA3.1 vector to form eukaryotic expression plasmids. SARS-CoV protein eukaryotic expression plasmids were transfected respectively into CHO cells. Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of the structural proteins of SARS-CoV in transfected cells. SARS-CoV protein eukaryotic expression plasmids were successfully constructed by identification with digestion of restriction enzymes and sequencing. M, N and S2 proteins of SARS-CoV were detected in the cytoplasm of transfected CHO cells. It was concluded that these recombinant eukaryotic expression plasmids were constructed successfully, and SARS-CoV encoding proteins could activate transcription and expression of hfgl2 gene.

Clinical data of 65 patients with acute cerebral infarction (frontal or temporal or both lobes) treated in our hospital during 2015-2016 were retrospectively reviewed.The patients were followed up for 6 months,34 cases were diagnosed as vascular dementia (VD) according to ICD-10 (VD group) and 31 cases were diagnosed as simple cerebral infarction (control group).The abnormal rate of electroencephalograph (EEG) at baseline in VD group was significantly higher than that in control group (x2 =5.44,P =0.02).Compared to control group,the powers of slow wave (θ wave and δ wave) at baseline,third month and sixth month in VD group were significantly increased (Fbet groups =17.39,Finner groups =163.50,Finteraction =38.71;all P =0.00) and (Fbetween groups =5.10,Finner groups =119.04,Finteraction =6.54;P ＜ 0.05).Compared to baseline,the α wave and β wave were significantly decreased at third month and sixth month in VD (Finner groups =116.40,P =0.00) and (Finner groups =55.90,P ＜ 0.05).Compared to control group,the powers of θ wave (except in the frontal lobe at baseline and third month) and δ wave were significantly increased at all time points (P ＜ 0.05).Except the θ wave in occipital lobe,there were significant differences in slow wave at all time points between VD group and control group (P ＜ 0.05).The featured EEG with increased slow wave in many regions of cerebral infarction can be used for early diagnosis of VD in patients with cerebral infarction.

OBJECTIVETo assess the clinical value of single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for treatment of pulmonary diseases.

METHODSFrom October, 2009 to December, 2013, 105 patients with pulmonary diseases were scheduled for single-pore VATS for pulmonary lobectomy (19 patients), wedge resection of the lung (34 patients), and bullae resection and pleurodesis for spontaneous pneumothorax or pulmonary bleb (52 patients).

RESULTSOf the 105 patients, 101 patients underwent single-port VATS; the procedure was converted to open thoracotomy in 1 patient and to conventional three-port VATS in 2 patients. The operative time was 50.6∓36.8 min (20-200 min) with intraoperative blood loss of 70∓56.9 ml (10-300 ml), thoracic drainage time of 4.2∓3.2 days (2-14 days), and postoperative hospital stay of 5.4∓3.8 days (3-16 days). Postoperative complications of the procedures included prolonged air leakage (6 cases) and atelectasis (2 cases). All the other patients recovered smoothly without serious complications.

CONCLUSIONSingle-port VATS is a safe and efficient procedure that allows rapid postoperative recovery and is a method of choice for selected patients with pulmonary diseases.

Objective:To explore the academic procrastination (AP) status and related factors in college students. Methods: Totally 828 undergraduates (277 male, 551 female, age 18-25 years) from Sun Yat-Sen University were investigated with a self-made questionnaire for basic information and Undergraduate Academic Procrastination Questionnaire (UAPQ) for AP status. UAPQ included overall learning procrastination (OLP), homework procrastination (HP), exam preparing procrastination (EPP) and self-learning procrastination (SLP). Students who scored more than 3 in OLP, HP, EPP, SLP were regarded as procrastinator. Result: The procrastination rates of OLP, HP, EPP, SLP were 40.7％, 29.7％, 41.5％, and 47.6％. Multiple linear regression analysis results showed that bigger (β = 0.32) and normal (β =0.15) influence for academic by mobile-phone, higher level of computer dependence (β =0.15) were positively related with academic procrastination. Higher (β =-0.27) and normal (β =-0.17) levels of grade satisfaction were negatively correlated with academic procrastination. The seniors' academic procrastination levels were lower than those in other grade (β =-0.12). Conclusion: It suggests that undergraduates procrastinate widely in many academic activities. Bigger and normal influence for academic by mobile-phone, higher level of computer dependence may be risk factors of procrastination, while being satisfied with grades and seniors may be protective factors.

smids were constructed suc-cessfully, and SARS-CoV encoding proteins could activate transcription and expression of hfgl2 gene.

Since 2010, the incidence of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) has been increased. Owing the progress in diagnosis and treatment, the overall mortality of SFTS in China has decreased, while the mortality in critical SFTS patients is still high. In order to provide guidance and working procedures for clinicians to diagnose and treat critical SFTS, the National Medical Center for Major Public Health Events invited experts to discuss and formulate this consensus based on their experience and up-to-date knowledge on SFTS.

Novel coronavirus Omicron variant infection can cause severe illness and even death in certain populations. Omicron variant infection may lead to systemic inflammatory response, coagulation disorder, multi-organ dysfunction and other pathophysiological changes, which are different from other Novel coronavirus variants to a certain extent, so therapeutic strategies should not be the same. The National Medical Center for Major Public Health Events invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory medicine, intensive care, pediatrics and fever clinic to develop this quick guideline based on the current best evidence and extensive clinical practices. This quick guideline aims to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus Omicron infection, and to improve the disease management abilities of clinicians.

Objective: To investigate the molecular mechanism of poor response of nucleoside and interferon therapy in some patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and the negative regulatory factor of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3) expression in the interferon-signaling pathway. Also, study the clinical relationship between SOCS3 and antiviral efficacy of nucleoside and interferon. Methods: Peripheral blood and matched liver tissue samples from 54 CHB patients who participated in the OSST study were selected. HBsAg was measured at different time points (baseline and weeks 12, 24, 36, and 48) to observe the antiviral efficacy. Meanwhile, quantitative real-time PCR, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression levels of SOCS3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and matched liver tissues (baseline and 48 weeks). At the end of the 48-week treatment, patients with HBsAg negative or HBeAg seroconversion were defined as response group, and vice versa. Paired t-tests were used to compare normal distribution variables and the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the median differences between groups of non-normally distributed variables. Results: After 48 weeks of treatment, serum HBsAg levels in the Peg-IFN group continued to decline (average decrease of 1.14 log₁₀ IU / ml at week 48; P = 0.001 compared with baseline), while the entecavir group remained almost unchanged during treatment (average decrease was 0.05 log₁₀ IU / ml at week 48; compared with baseline P = 0.12). The expression of SOCS3 mRNA (Messenger RNA, mRNA) in peripheral blood and liver tissues of non-responder group was significantly higher than the response group in the course of Peg-IFNα2a treatment. The immunohistochemical results of liver tissue showed that the expression of SOCS3 in the non-responder group was significantly higher than that in the response group at baseline (P = 0.027). After 48 weeks of treatment with Peg-IFNα2a, the expression of SOCS3 in the non-responder group was significantly higher than that in the baseline and response groups (P = 0.003, P = 0.012, respectively). Conclusion The expression of SOCS3 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and liver tissues of non-responding CHB patients was significantly higher than that of responding CHB patients during interferon and nucleoside antiviral therapy. We speculated that SOCS3 might affect the antiviral efficacy through negative regulation of JAK-STAT signaling pathway, and partly expose the mechanism of interferon resistance.
