Objective To evaluate the value of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in the diagnosis of elderly femoral arterial pseudo aneurysm and treating with ultrasound-guided compression after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Methods Twenty-six elderly patients who were found a mass and/or vascular murmur in the puncture region were examined by CDFI, and the results of CDFI were proven by clinic and MRI. All pseudo aneurysms were repaired by CDFI guidance to compress simply and/or injecting directly batroxobin into the pseudo aneurysm lumen combined with compression.Results Pseudo aneurysms were diagnosed definitely by CDFI in 26 cases,and the accuracy rate was 100%. Twenty-two cases were repaired with CDFI guidance to compress simply and percutaneously injection of batroxobin into the pseudo aneurysm lumen combined with compression occurred in 3 cases. One case was cured by surgery after failing to be repaired with CDFI guidance. Conclusions CDFI has an important diagnosis value of pseudo aneurysm after PTCA. The method of CDFI guidance compression and batroxobin injection for repairing pseudo aneurysm is simple, safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the effects of anti-adhesion treatment and high-strength suture technique on the treatment of extensor tendon rupture by animal experiments and clinical application.Methods Twenty-eight leg-born chickens were randomly divided into four groups(7 each).Double cross suture was applied in group A,while double cross suture combined with sodium hyaluronate spraying in group B,cross-finger-like micro-braided suture in group C,and cross-finger-like micro-braided suture combined with sodium hyaluronate spraying in group D.The animals were sacrificed 6 weeks after operation,morphological,histological and biomechanics were observed and compared among the groups.One hundred and sixteen patients were treated with the surgical method in group D(89 males,27 females,aged 20-55 with an average of 36 years;73 with extensor tendon rupture,38 with strain/chalasis,5 with firearm injuries;56 on back of hand,48 on central slip,12 on lateral fixing chorda;82 with one-stage operation,and 34 with second-stage operation),and then followed-up for 2-5 years to observe the therapeutic effects.Results The repaired tendons in group D was in good contour,most tendon cells arranged regularly in bunches.The maximum load was significantly higher in group D(70.9?5.7N) than in group A(48.4?5.7N),Group B(51.3?3.2N) and Group C(68.3?2.8N,P

Objective:To discuss the clinical feature, diagnosis, and treatment course of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (ACC) to guide clinical practice and improve prognosis of patients. Methods:Clinical data of 15 patients with pathologically confirmed pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma between December 1994 and March 2014 in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were retro-spectively studied. Results:The patients include eight males and seven females with a median age of 44. Tumors in these patients appeared in different parts of the pancreas. Eight patients had tumor in the head, six in the body and tail, and one in the uncinate process. The tumor size ranged from 3 cm to 18 cm, with an average diameter of 6.67 cm. The patients presented less jaundice and the tumor markers remained constant, specifically, no increase was reported. Six patients had metastasis before their operation. Twelve patients received radical resection, while the other three received palliative treatment. The preoperative and intraoperative diagnoses were not exact. The final diagnosis depended on pathologic confirmation after surgery or puncture. The immunohistochemical results of trypsin and chymotrypsin were positive in the patients who were examined. The postoperative chemotherapy was usually based on gemcitabine. The average survival time was 20.6 months. Conclusion:Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma has special clinical features, and clinicians tend to regard it as low-grade malignancy. The attitude towards ACC should be positive.

The correlation of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10569304 on the second expressed region of hole gene and congenital heart disease (CHD) of human being, and the effect of hole gene on CHD were investigated. 179 patients with CHD as CHD group and 183 healthy people as control group were selected in the case-control study. DNA was abstracted from the peripheral blood by phenol-chloroform method. Primer was designed for the flanking sequence of SNP rs10569304 on the second expressed region of hole gene. The genotype was identified by PCR degenerative acrylamide electrophoresis with amplification products. Then the three amplification products received sequencing. By chi-square test, the genotype frequency and allele frequency in CHD group and control group were analyzed. There was insertion-deletion (GCC/-) of SNP rs10569304 which corresponded to alleles of A and B in Southern Chinese people. The genotype frequency and allele frequency in control group and CHD group were met the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. By chi-square test, in control group and CHD group, the genotype frequency of AA (insertion homozygous), AB (insertion-deletion heterozygous) and BB (deletion homozygous) was 21.31%, 54.09%, 24.59% and 16.75%, 46.36%, 36.87%, respectively. The distributional difference of genotype frequency had statistical significance (chi (2)=6.51, P<0.05); The allele frequency of A and B was 48.36% and 51.64% in control group, 39.94% and 60.06% in CHD group, respectively. The distributional difference of allele frequency had statistical significance (chi (2)=5.20, P<0.05). Meanwhile, by contrast with the control group, the BB genotype frequency and B allele frequency in CHD group was higher, but the AA and AB frequency was lower. There was higher risk to suffer from CHD involving B allele. BB genotype had 1.907-fold increased risk of developing CHD according to AA genotype (P<0.05). It is concluded that there is insertion-deletion (GCC/-) of SNP rs10569304 in the Southern Chinese people, and the people whose hole gene involving BB genotype have higher risk to suffering from CHD.

Objective To evaluate the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS)in neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC) for triple negative breast cancer(TNBC)in the elderly.Methods A total of 16 elderly patients with TNBC admitted to hospital from October 2017 to June 2018 were selected,and they underwent ultrasound examination before treatment.Changes in lesion size and time intensity curve (TIC)parameters were compared against postoperative microscopic diagnoses,which were used as the gold standard,to evaluate the effect of NAC in elderly TNBC patients.Results Compared with pre-treatment imaging data,the sum of the diameters of target lesions was reduced by 38.0％ after NAC treatment[(7.29±1.62)cm vs.(4.52± 1.21)cm,t =2.313,P＜0.05],and TIC parameters showed that the peak intensity(PI)and the time to peak(TTP)and the slope of the ascending part of the curve,or Grad,were statistically different between pre and post-NAC treatment measurements[(-65.14± 3.75)dB vs.(57.67± 1.93)dB,(11.57±7.34)s vs.(5.35±0.83)s,(1.21±0.27) vs.(2.29± 0.45),t =3.512,2.271 and 2.727,P =0.003,0.049 and 0.026,respectively].When compared with microscopic examination results,CEUS TIC analysis for evaluating the efficacy of NAC showed an accuracy of 87.5％ (14/16),a sensitivity of 92.9％ (13/14),a specificity of 50.0％ (1/2),a positive predictive value of 81.3％ (13/16) and an inter-method kappa value of 0.429(x2=0.500,P=0.230).Using CEUS to evaluate the efficacy of NAC achieved an accuracy rate of 81.3％(13/16).Conclusions CEUS can effectively evaluate the efficacy of NAC in elderly patients with TNBC,and guide the clinician to develop an accurate,individualized treatment program benefiting the patients.

Objective:To explore the factors leading to communication disorders in ICU patients during mechanical ventilation from the perspective of both patients and medical staff, and to use the theoretical framework of acceptability to identify the barriers that can be improved by intervention.Methods:Using the method of descriptive phenomenology from July to August 2022, 11 patients with mechanical ventilation and 8 medical staff in the comprehensive ICU of a Yuhuangding Hospital in Yantai were selected for interviews by the purpose sampling method, combined with participatory observation. The interviews of patients were conducted off ventilator. With Nvivo12.0 Plus software, the seven-step analysis method of Colaizzi phenomenology was adopted to summarize the theme and the theoretical framework of acceptability was used to identify the obstacle factors that could be improved by intervention.Results:The age of 11 patients was 18-46 years old, the duration of mechanical ventilation was 9.5-312.3 h. The age of 8 medical staff was 26-54 years old, the length of service in ICU was 2-30 years. A total of 14 themes were extracted. For patients: defensive mood, difficulty in presenting information, introverted personality, communication tools are hard to use, emergency treatment conflict, deny the ability to communicate, thought slowness. For medical staff: defensive mood, cognitive load, high time cost, lack of humane communication strategies, poor training, other priorities, loss of confidence in effective communication, awareness of the importance of communication was not enough.Conclusions:There are many factors that can be improved for patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU. It is suggested to speed up the research and development of high-tech and personalized alternative communication tools in China, reduce negative communication between doctors and patients and nurses and patients, and implement evidence-based multi-mode and progressive communication intervention strategies.

Objective To investigate the influence of systematic nursing intervention on family cohesion, adaptability, internet addiction rehabilitation degree and psychological status of patients with internet addiction disorder ( IAD ) . Methods IAD patients were randomly divided into control group ( n=50 ) and experimental group ( n=50) according to random number table. Patients in the control group were intervened by conventional nursing treatment. On the base of that, patients in the experimental group were intervened by systematic nursing intervention mode, such as inspirational education, comment classroom of nursing, systematic health education, regular follow-up, etc. Changes in family cohesion, adaptability, internet addiction rehabilitation degree and psychological status of the IAD patients were evaluated before and three months after the intervention.Results After the intervention, of patients in the experimental group, scores of ideal family cohesion improved from ( 67. 54 ± 4. 58 ) points to ( 74. 63 ± 3. 20 ) points; scores of actual family cohesion improved from (53.14±4.29) to (76.29±3.93); scores of ideal adaptability improved from (46.43±7.98) to (57.50±6.05);scores of actual adaptability improved from (44.90±5.78) to (50.78±5.43);scores of internet addiction rehabilitation degree declined from (83.37±3.46) to (56.01±5.02);various indexes of psychological health status had all improved significantly than before the treatment ( P<0. 05 ) . Indexes of patients in the control group showed no significant improvement (P>0.05).Conclusions Systematic nursing intervention mode can obviously improve physiological and psychological conditions of IAD patients, and increase the rate of internet addiction rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the correlations between triglyceride glucose index(TyG)and its derivatives TyG-body mass index(BMI)and TyG-alanine transaminase(ALT)with the risk of lean metabolic associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD).Methods A total of 207 patients diagnosed with lean MAFLD and 100 lean healthy controls who received annual health examination in Health Management Center of our hospital from Jul.to Dec.2023 were enrolled.Plasma lipids,blood glucose,liver function,TyG,TyG-BMI and TyG-ALT were compared between the 2 groups.The influencing factors of lean MAFLD were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models.All subjects were divided into 4 subgroups(Q1-Q4)according to the quartile of TyG and its derivatives,and the prevalence of lean MAFLD in each subgroup was observed.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves of TyG,TyG-BMI and TyG-ALT for lean MAFLD were plotted to evaluate the prediction efficiency.Results Of the 8 764 health examination cases included,2 350(26.8％)had MAFLD,of which 207 were lean MAFLD(8.8％,207/2 350).Compared with the lean healthy controls,the patients in the lean MAFLD group were older,with more male and high BMI,and their fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,ALT,aspartate transaminase,γ-glutamyl transpeptidase,alkaline phosphatase,total bilirubin,TyG,TyG-BMI and TyG-ALT were significantly increased,while high density lipoprotein-cholesterol was significantly decreased(all P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,male,and elevated ALT level were independent risk factors for lean MAFLD.The prevalence of lean MAFLD in the Q4 subgroup of TyG was significantly higher than that in the Q1 and Q2 subgroups(34.3％[71/207]vs 10.6％[22/207]and 24.2％[50/207],both P＜0.05).The prevalence rates of lean MAFLD in the Q4 subgroup of TyG-BMI and the Q4 subgroup of TyG-ALT were significantly higher than those in the corresponding Q1,Q2,and Q3 subgroups(35.3％[73/207]vs 8.2％[17/207],24.6％[51/207],and 31.9％[66/207];33.8％[70/207]vs 14.0％[29/207],23.2％[48/207],and 29.0％[60/207];all P＜0.05).The area under curve(AUC)of TyG-BMI in predicting lean MAFLD was 0.869 0(95％confidence interval[CI]0.825 5-0.912 6,P＜0.001),which was higher than that of TyG(AUC=0.818 8[95％CI 0.768 0-0.869 6,P＜0.001])and TyG-ALT(AUC=0.772 5[95％CI 0.718 7-0.826 2,P＜0.001]).Conclusion TyG,TyG-BMI,and TyG-ALT are associated with lean MAFLD,and have predictive value for lean MAFLD.TyG and its derivatives are easy to calculate and cheap,and can be used for preliminary clinical assessment of lean MAFLD.

The correlation of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs 10569304 on the second ex-pressed region of hole gene and congenital heart disease (CHD) of human being, and the effect of hole gene on CHD were investigated. 179 patients with CHD as CHD group and 183 healthy people as control group were selected in the case-control study. DNA was abstracted from the peripheral blood by phenol-chloroform method. Primer was designed for the flanking sequence of SNP rs10569304 on the second expressed region of hole gene. The genotype was identified by PCR de-generative acrylamide electrophoresis with amplification products. Then the three amplification products received sequencing. By chi-square test, the genotype frequency and allele frequency in CHD group and control group were analyzed. There was insertion-deletion (GCC/-) of SNP rs10569304 which corresponded to alleles of A and B in Southern Chinese people. The genotype fre-quency and allele frequency in control group and CHD group were met the Hardy-Weinberg equilib-rium. By chi-square test, in control group and CHD group, the genotype frequency of AA (insertion homozygous), AB (insertion-deletion heterozygous) and BB (deletion homozygous) was 21.31%, 54.09%, 24.59% and 16.75%, 46.36%, 36.87%, respectively. The distributional difference of geno-type frequency bad statistical significance (χ2=6.51, P<0.05);The allele frequency of A and B was 48.36% and 51.64% in control group, 39.94% and 60.06% in CHD group, respectively. The distribu-tional difference of allele frequency had statistical significance (χ2=5.20, P<0.05). Meanwhile, by contrast with the control group, the BB genotype frequency and B allele frequency in CHD group was higher, but the AA and AB frequency was lower. There was higher risk to suffer from CHD in-volving B allele. BB genotype had 1.907-fold increased risk of developing CHD according to AA genotype (P<0.05). It is concluded that there is insertion-deletion (GCC/-) of SNP rs10569304 in the Southern Chinese people, and the people whose hole gene involving BB genotype have higher risk to suffering from CHD.

Objective:We observed and compared the differences in immune reconstruction between single-infusion anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) , chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) , and combined infusion of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells in the treatment of recurrent/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) .Methods:Sixty-one patients with RRMM who underwent CAR-T cell therapy in our hospital from June 2017 to December 2020 were selected. Among them, 26 patients received anti-BCMA target, and 35 patients received anti-BCMA combined with anti-CD19 target. Using flow cytometry, we determined T cell subsets (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, CD4 +/CD8 +) , B cells (CD19 +) , and NK cells (CD16 + CD56 +) at different time points before and after CAR-T treatment, and detected immunoglobulin IgG, IgA and IgM levels by immunoturbidimetry. We compared the reconstruction rules of lymphocyte subsets and immunoglobulins in the two groups. Results:CD8 + T lymphocytes recovered most rapidly after the infusion of CAR-T cells, returning to pre-infusion levels at 3 months and 1 month after infusion, respectively[BCMA: 695 (357, 1264) /μl vs 424 (280, 646) /μl; BCMA+CD19: 546 (279, 1672) /μl vs 314 (214, 466) /μl]. NK cells returned to normal levels at 3 months after infusion in both groups[BCMA: 171 (120, 244) /μl, BCMA+CD19: 153 (101, 218) /μl (Normal reference range 150-1100/μl) ]; however, the NK cells were not maintained at stable levels in the BCMA CAR-T cells group. The recovery of CD4 + T lymphocytes in both groups was slow and remained persistently low within 12 months after infusion, and no recovery was observed in most patients. The reversal of the ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + lasted for more than a year. The levels of CD19 + B cells in both groups returned to baseline 3 months after infusion[BCMA: 62 (10, 72) /μl vs 57 (24, 78) /μl; BCMA+CD19: 40 (4, 94) /μl vs 29 (14, 46) /μl]. IgG returned to the pre-infusion level 12 months after infusion in the group with anti-BCMA cells alone, but not in the group with combined infusion of CD19 CAR T cells[7.82 (6.03, 9.64) g/L vs 6.92 (4.62, 12.76) g/L]. IgA returned to pre-infusion levels at 9 and 12 months after infusion, respectively[BCMA: 0.46 (0.07, 0.51) g/L vs 0.22 (0.12, 4.01) g/L; BCMA+CD19: 0.46 (0.22, 0.98) g/L vs 0.27 (0.10, 0.53) g/L]. IgM in both groups returned to pre-infusion levels 6 months after infusion[BCMA: 0.43 (0.06, 0.60) g/L vs 0.20 (0.13, 0.37) g/L; BCMA+CD19: 0.53 (0.10, 0.80) g/L vs 0.16 (0.11, 0.28) g/L]. There was no significant difference in the indexes of lymphocyte subpopulation reconstruction and immunoglobulin recovery between the two groups at each time point. Conclusion:This study showed that in patients with RRMM treated with CAR-T cells, the appropriate target antigen can be selected without considering the difference of immune reconstruction between anti-BCMA CAR-T and combined anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy.
