Objective:To develop an evidence-based nursing program for a patient with oral complications of dysphagia due to cerebral infarction.Methods:According to the principle of PICO, and the problem of patients' clinical manifestations, using the method of combining subject words and free words, the database of Uptodate, NICE, SIGN. RNAO, medical pulse guide network, BMJ, Cochranc library, PubMed, EMbase, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched and collected the clinical guidelines, systematic evaluation and randomized controlled trial of oral complications in patients with dysphagia of cerebral infarction.Results:Totally 1 clinical decision, 5 clinical guidelines, 4 expert consensus, 2 systematic evaluations, 1 Meta-analysis, 3 randomized controlled trial (RCT) were included. Based on the search results and the patient′s condition and wishes, nurses performed swallowing function tests every two days according to the Standard Swallowing function rating Scale (SSA), raised the head of the bed 40°~45° and holded it for 1 hour. Three times a day, the teeth were brushed with chlorhexidine oral care solution under negative pressure. Sputum scab was removed by mechanical scrubbing. The back of tongue was scrubbed by 6x tongue scraping technique every night. After the infection was controlled, the teeth were washed twice a day with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Oral condition and swallowing function were evaluated daily. High flow humidification oxygen therapy and mask spray atomization inhalation were used. Swallowing training was performed on the third day after admission. Seven days after the evidence was applied to clinical practice, the oral mucosa was moist without peculiar smell and sputum scab, and the swallowing function was changed from grade IV to grade II.Conclusion:Nursing cerebral infarction patients with dysphagia, nurses should timely assess the patient's oral cavity and swallowing function, the application of chlorhexidine and 0.9% sodium chloride solution oral care solution mechanical scrubbing method and negative pressure washing brushing method can effectively remove sputum scab, use 6x tongue scraping technology to scrub the back of tongue, can reduce micro organisms, reduce halitosis; the application of nasal mask high flow humidification oxygen therapy and spray atomization inhalation humidification effect is obvious Therefore, early swallowing training can reduce the incidence of oral complications.

Objective:To ascertain the levels of individual doses to radiation workers arising from occupationally external exposure in China in 2017, with an aim to provide basic data and scientific basis for prevention and control of occupational radiation sickness.Methods:Data on individual doses to monitored workers engaged in medical and industrial applications of radiation sources were collected through National Individual Dose Registry, with statistical analysis being carried out using Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test and Bonferroni method. Results:A total of 361 727 radiation workers were investigated in 2017, of which 81.6% was from medical application and 18.4% from industrial application, respectively. The average annual effective dose from medical and industrial applications were 0.353 and 0.270 mSv, respectively, with the former significantly higher than the latter ( Z=48.547, P<0.05). Furthermore, a statistically significant difference was seen in the average annual effective dose for each occupational category of medical application ( H=1 136.217, P<0.05), suggesting that the dose values for the monitored workers in nuclear medicine and interventional radiology were significantly higher than for other four medical categories ( Z=2.877-26.967, P<0.05). These dose values for the radiation workers was 0.361 mSv in tertiary hospitals, 0.397 mSv in secondary hospitals, and 0.308 mSv in primary and unrated hospitals, respectively. The dose values for the monitored workers in industrial radiography and well logging were significantly higher than for other five industrial categories of industrial applications ( Z=4.172-36.908, P<0.05). Conclusions:The average annual effective doses to the of monitored workers meet the relevant national standards. The exposure doses to the workers in nuclear medicine, interventional radiology, industrial radiography and well logging are relatively high. The necessary measures and devices for radiation protection should be further strengthened to reduce occupational exposure of workers.

Objective:To investigate the levels of dose to eye lens of interventional radiology workers in China from 2017 to 2019.Methods:The monitoring data on eye lens doses to the interventional radiology workers in 28 provinces across the country were collected from National Individual Dose Registry. Monitoring was carried out using TLDs on their left eyes and evaluated in terms of the personal dose equivalent Hp(3). By using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test, statistical analyses were made of the average annual lens doses to interventional radiology workers in the hospitals of different types at different levels for different years. Results:From 2017 to 2019, the data on eye lens doses to 2 981 interventional radiology workers were collected, with doses ranging from below the minimum detectable level (MDL) to 64.48 mSv, the average annual eye dose of 1.38 mSv, and the annual doses incurred by 0.97% monitored workers exceeding the recently recommended dose limits, 20 mSv per year. The average annual lens dose monitored in general hospitals and in cancer hospitals were 1.33 and 1.77 mSv, respectively, without statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). The average annual lens dose in tertiary hospitals was 1.39 mSv, significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals where the value was 1.16 mSv ( Z=2.894, P<0.05). Conclusions:The estimated annual eye lens doses to the interventional radiology workers during 2017-2019 were in accordance with the current national standard GB 18871-2002, but with a few exceptions exceeding the current international standards. This means that there exists, to a certain degree, a potential risk for the eye lens in this work category to exceed the international limits. It is suggested to continue in effort to enhance the monitoring of eye lens dose for these workers and to increase risk awareness, and take effective protective measures so as to lower the level of eye lens doses.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide.Recurrence and metastasis are the primary reasons for its poor prognosis.Growing evidence has proposed that lung cancer may be driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), which may be responsible for the poor outcome of lung cancer.The resistance mechanisms of cancer stem cells include four aspects: high expression of the chemo-resistant efflux transporter ABC in CSCs populations, over-expression of ALDH, efficient DNA damage repair system, developmental pathway activation.The tolerance mechanism of CSCs was described to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment and development of new anti-tumor drugs.

Objective:To investigate the changes of advanced glycosylation end product(AGEs)/sodium-glucose cotransporter-1(SGLT-1) in intestinal and renal tissues and intestinal flora of mice with diabetes kidney disease.Methods:Twenty KKay mice were divided into diabetic group(DM group, n=10) and diabetic kidney disease group(DKD group, n=10). The concentrations of serum AGEs, lipopolysaccharide(LPS), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and intereukin-6(IL-6) were measured. Western blot technique was used to detect the protein expression of AGEs and SGLT-1 in kidney and intestinal tissue, and high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the difference of intestinal flora. Results:The levels of inflammatory markers TNF-α, IL-6, and serum endotoxin in DKD group were significantly higher than those in DM group( P<0.05). The contents of AGEs in serum and intestine and kidney were increased, and the contents of SGLT-1 in intestine and kidney were increased( P<0.05). Metastats test showed that the abundance of Verrucomicrobia decreased and the abundance of Proteobacteria increased in DKD group( P<0.05). G - bacteria such as Aeromonas, Enterobacter, Morgan, Klebsiella, Serratia, and Burkholderia were relatively dominant, and the abundance of Akkermansia was significantly lower than that in DM group( P<0.05). Conclusion:The increase of AGEs in intestinal tract of DKD mice may induce intestinal dysbacteriosis, especially the increase of Proteobacteria, the decrease of Verrucosa and Wilhelm Ackermann, and the leakage of G-bacteria into the blood to produce intestinal endotoxemia and cause inflammatory reaction, this may be an important factor in the development of DKD. SGLT-1 is elevated in intestinal tissue, which may be involved in the development of DKD.

To determine the direct effect of leptin on adipose tissue apoptosis in vitro using rat adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), we isolated the ADSCs of rat epididymis adipose tissue by collagenase digestion, filtration, and subsequent centrifugation. Cell cultures with or without leptin (10(-9) mol/L, 10(-8) mol/L, 10(-7) mol/L and 10(-6) mol/L) were incubated for different time. We examined the cell surface phenotype by immunofluorescence and detected the apoptosis morphological changes of ADSCs by laser scanning confocal microscope (LCSM). The number of apoptotic cells was determined by flow cytometry assay after annexin V binding and PI staining. Caspase-3 activity was measured by spectrofluorometry. The present study demonstrates that leptin treatment causes a marked increase in adipose-derived stem cell apoptosis. With the LCSM, after being treated with leptin, ADSCs showed the typical characteristic of apoptosis. Leptin in used concentrations (0 mol/L, 10(-8) mol/L, 10(-7) mol/L, 10(-6) mol/L) caused a marked increase in cell apoptosis after 48 h incubation time (for 2.50% +/- 0.72%, 6.78% +/- 1.99%, 11.99% +/- 1.58% and 17.93% +/- 4.82%, respectively, P < 0.05). Caspase-3 activity increased and reached a maximal level after 48 h in a linear fashion. The effect of leptin was dose-dependent and time-dependent. Leptin has been demonstrated to induce preadipocyte and adipocyte apoptosis, and today we demonstrate that leptin can induce ADSCs apoptosis, which can contribute to the decrease of adiposity. To our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating the direct peripheral effect of leptin on ADSCs.

Objective:To provide the basis and direction for the establishment of the database of severe patients by analyizing of the disease composition and outcome of patients in the department of critical care medicine of the 3A hospital.Methods:The clinical data of 3 249 patients admitted to the department of critical care medicine of Liaocheng People's Hospital from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, age, admission time, admission route, diagnosis, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score 24 hours after admission, outcome and other information.Results:The mean age of 3 249 patients was (61.99±18.29) years old, and the proportion of young and old patients aged 60-74 years accounted the largest (34.01%). There were more males (1 800 cases) than females (1 449 cases). The most patients were admitted in January (119 cases) and the least in March (75 cases). The top eight diseases in the department of critical care medicine were respiratory system diseases (21.88%), multiple injuries (12.65%), cardiovascular system diseases (11.48%), gastrointestinal surgery diseases (9.42%), pathological obstetrics (7.76%), digestive system diseases (7.63%), urinary system diseases (5.69%) and nervous system diseases (5.23%). Among 3 249 critically ill patients, 54.36% (1 766 cases) were transferred to the general ward for treatment after improvement, with APACHE Ⅱ score was 17.99±5.51. 15.91% (517 cases) returned to local hospital for further treatment after improvement, APACHE Ⅱ score was 22.48±6.57. 1.51% (49 cases) were transferred to superior hospitals, APACHE Ⅱ score was 21.71±5.18. 24.22% (787 cases) were discharged automatically, APACHE Ⅱ score was 25.64±5.45. 4.00% (130 cases) died in intensive care unit (ICU), APACHE Ⅱ score was 29.08±8.10. The APACHE Ⅱ score of patients who died in ICU was higher than that of patients who were transferred to another department, another hospital or discharged automatically after their condition improved, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.001). Among 3 249 patients, a total of 1 265 patients were admitted to ICU for sepsis caused by aggravated infection, and 44.43% (562 cases) of the 1 265 patients improved to the general ward after treatment, with APACHE Ⅱ score was 18.99±5.46. 19.21% (243 cases) returned to local hospital after treatment with APACHE Ⅱ score was 22.79±6.74. 1.50% (19 cases) were transferred to superior hospitals for further treatment with APACHE Ⅱ score was 21.21±4.81. 31.54% (399 cases) were discharged automatically with APACHE Ⅱ score was 25.55±4.84; 3.32% (42 cases) died in ICU with APACHE Ⅱ score was 27.69±7.92. The APACHE Ⅱ score of patients who died in ICU was higher than that of patients who were transferred to another department, another hospital or discharged automatically after their condition improved, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.001). Conclusions:Among the patient admitted to ICU 2019-2021 in Liaocheng People's Hospital, respiratory system diseases accounted for the first, multiple injuries accounted for the second place, followed by cardiovascular system diseases, gastrointestinal surgery diseases, pathological obstetrics, etc. Males and elderly patients aged 60-74 years have a higher proportion of severe cases. APACHE Ⅱ scores were associated with patients' prognosis.

Objective:To collect the Internet news about "sudden death", analyze its characteristics and resuscitation effects, so as to provide reference for formulating intervention strategies.Methods:The Internet was used to search for "sudden death" and "cardiac arrest" on "Baidu" and "360" websites. Reports of sudden death events were collected from January 2013 to December 2022. The age, gender, characteristics of sudden death, implementation characteristics of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes of sudden death patients were recorded and analyzed. Subgroup analyses were performed for pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes. Unconditional multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the related factors affecting the pre-hospital and final clinical outcomes in patients with sudden death.Results:177 news reports were finally confirmed, involving 177 sudden death patients, including 152 males (85.9%) and 25 females (14.1%), aged (37.27±16.82) years old, and 53.1% in the 16-45 years old group. Triggering factors included strenuous exercise (29.9%), heart disease history (7.9%), overwork (6.2%), staying up late and insomnia (4.0%), activation of emotion (2.8%), and no obvious inducement (48.0%). After on-site first aid, 104 cases (58.8%) achieved restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before hospital admission, and 18 cases (10.2%) recovered consciousness. After clinical treatment, 109 cases (61.6%) achieved ROSC, 86 cases (48.6%) recovered consciousness, and 22 cases (12.4%) did not report the final outcome. Subgroup analysis showed that compared with patients who achieved pre-hospital ROSC ( n = 104), sudden death in non-ROSC patients ( n = 73) mainly occurred during sleep, in residence and without immediate CPR, full CPR, or automated external defibrillator (AED); and patients who ultimately did not recover consciousness clinically ( n = 91) showed similar characteristics compared with patients who recovered consciousness ( n = 86). Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that immediate CPR [pre-hospital ROSC: odds ratio ( OR) = 8.06, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.36-27.46; final recovery of consciousness: OR = 9.10, 95% CI was 2.46-33.68] and AED defibrillation (pre-hospital ROSC: OR = 36.31, 95% CI was 4.53-291.19; final recovery of consciousness: OR = 3.53, 95% CI was 1.45-8.61) facilitated pre-hospital achievement of sudden death patients ROSC and final recovery of consciousness. Conclusions:Out-of-hospital sudden death mainly occurs in young people, and vigorous exercise is one of the potential factors for out-of-hospital sudden death, with nearly half having no obvious cause. Immediate and rapid CPR and defibrillation are the simplest and most effective on-site first aid methods. Strengthening public CPR and defibrillation education and training, and advocating healthy lifestyle are effective ways to improve the survival rate of sudden death and reduce the occurrence of sudden death. Based on practical clinical rescue experience, the implementation of bystander CPR by medical personnel is also a factor that cannot be ignored in affecting the clinical outcomes of sudden death patients.
