Venous thromboembolism includes deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. It is a more common and preventable complication in neurology. The prevention of venous thromboembolism is an important component in the treatment of the patients with cerebral hemorrhage. The measures include mechanical prevention and drug prevention. The mechanical prevention measures include intermittent pneumatic compression devices and pressure gradient elastic stockings. Studies have suggested that anticoagulants also plays an important role in the prevention of venous thromboembolism. The comprehensive and systematic understanding of the prevention of venous thromboembolism wil help to guide the clinical therapy and improve the outcomes of patients after primary intracerebral hemorrhage.

Aim To make a research of rats with focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury on pathological changes in brain and the changes of AQP4 and related proteins, in order to explore the relationship between AQP4 and brain edema. Methods Adult male SD rats, weighting 250~300 g, were randomly divided in-to Sham group and cerebral ischemia/reperfusion ( I/R) injury model group. The I/R model group was di-vided into the I/R-6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h-four time point groups. The animal model of the right MCA is-chemia/reperfusion was established by suture method in mature SD rats. The nerve symptom score was con-ducted in the corresponding time points. Then, the permeability of brain tissue was detected by EB stai-ning;TTC staining was conducted to observe the cere-bral infarction volume;the dry wet weight method was used to detect the changes of brain water content; im-munohistochemical( IHC) , WB and RT-PCR were ap-plied to detect the expression of AQP4 , and the related factors at different time points of the model rats after is-chemia-reperfusion around infarcts. Results Com-pared with the Sham group, then ever function score of the rats in I/R model groups were much higher. With the increase of the reperfusion time, the cerebral in-farction volume, brain tissue permeability and the brain water content were also increased. IHC results showed that AQP4 expression gradually rose with widen distribution. WB and RT-PCR results verified the in-creasing level of AQP4 expression. The detection of the related proteins expression showed apparent changes. The expression of MMP-9 was increased, while the Oc-cludin and JAM-1 expression showed a decreasing trend. The I/R-48 h model group showed the most ob-vious differences in the expression of the related pro-teins and mRNA ( P <0. 01 vs Sham, respectively ) . Conclusion Accompanied with the aggravating cere-bral injury after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion, the ex-pression of AQP4 and MMP-9 level were activated, while the degradation of TJPs, Occludin and JAM-1, was increased. These factors are combined to make the formation of brain edema. This study makes a further research on the formation mechanism of the early stage for cerebral edema on I/R model and offers a potential for intervention in the filed of looking for a reliable drug therapy on cerebral edema.

Objective To investigate the medication safety and relevant influence factors among the elderly with chronic diseases,to improve the safety of the elderly medication,and provide the theory basis for the rational use of drugs.Methods Questionnaire survey was conducted on 452 elderly outpatients with chronic diseases using self-designed questionnaire.Results 21.7％ (98/452) of the elderly took seven or more drugs.The incidence of adverse drug reactions was 38.4％ (174/452).The prevalence in the top three were cardiovascular disease [61.3％ (277/452)],diabetes [53.5％ (242/452)],and lung disease [42.0％ (190/452)].Old people had unsafe medication behaviors including missing medication,stopping medication on their own,increased or reduced dosages of medicine and taking overdue medication,and so on.Logistic regression analysis showed that the main influence factors of medication safety were age,previous occupation,educational level,monthly household income per capita,medication time,the source of drugs and whether received medication safety health education (P＜0.05).Conclusions Relative lack of safety knowledge,wrong cognition and behaviors exist in the elderly.It is worthy of paying attention to adverse drug reactions and hidden dangers of the elderly.

Objective:Based on cognitive behavioral therapy, to construct a physical and mental adjustment intervention plan for the main caregiver of cancer patients through the network platform.Methods:Through evidence-based literature published from July 2012 to July 2022 screening and evaluation, combined with qualitative interviews for 10 primary caregivers of cancer patients, the intervention plan for physical and mental adjustment of the main caregivers of cancer patients was preliminarily formulated. After consultation with Delphi experts (15 cases) through two rounds, the intervention plan was finally determined.Results:In the two rounds of expert letter inquiries, 15 questionnaires were distributed and 15 valid questionnaires were recovered. The effective recovery rate was 100.00% and the expert authority coefficient were 0.89 and 0.90 in the two rounds of expert letter inquiries respectively, the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.279 and 0.323 respectively, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.01). The intervention plan for physical and mental adjustment ofthe main caregivers of cancer patients included 5 first-level indicators (basic knowledge, symptom education, home care knowledge, relaxation training, social support), 27 second-level indicatorsand 54 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The method of the psychosomatic regulation intervention program is scientific and practical, which can be initially applied to the psychological adjustment of the main caregivers of cancer patients, so as to provide a reference for improving their negative emotions.

Objective To investigate the morbidity, diagnostic profile and perinatal outcome of pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM) in 15 hospitals in Guangdong province. Methods A total of 41338 women delivered in the 15 hospitals during the 6 months,195 women with PGDM(PGDM group) and 195 women with normal glucose test result(control group)were recruited from these tertiary hospitals in Guangdong province from January 2016 to June 2016. The morbidity and diagnostic profile of PGDM were analyzed. The complications during pregnancy and perinatal outcomes were compared between the two groups. In the PGDM group, pregnancy outcomes were analyzed in women who used insulin treatment (n=91) and women who did not (n=104). Results (1)The incidence of PGDM was 0.472%(195/41338). Diabetes mellitus were diagnosed in 59 women (30.3%, 59/195) before pregnancy, and 136 women (69.7%,136/195) were diagnosed as PGDM after conceptions. Forty-six women (33.8%) were diagnosed by fasting glucose and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) screening. (2) The maternal age, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), prenatal BMI, percentage of family history of diabetes, incidence of macrosomia, concentration of low density lipoprotein were significantly higher in PGDM group than those in control group (all P<0.05). Women in PGDM group had significantly higher HbA1c concentration((6.3±1.3)% vs (5.2±0.4)%), fasting glucose [(6.3±2.3) vs (4.8±1.1) mmol/L], oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)-1 h glucose((12.6±2.9) vs (7.1± 1.3) mmol/L)and OGTT-2 h glucose [(12.0±3.0) vs (6.4±1.0) mmol/L] than those in control group (P<0.01). (3)The morbidity of preterm births was significantly higher (11.3% vs 1.0%, P<0.01), and the gestational age at delivery in PGDM group was significantly smaller [(37.6±2.3) vs (39.2±1.2) weeks, P<0.01]. Cesarean delivery rate in the PGDM group (70.8% vs 29.7%) was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.01). There was significantly difference between PGDM group and control in the neonatal male/female ratio (98/97 vs 111/84, P=0.033). The neonatal birth weight in PGDM group was significantly higher((3159±700) vs (3451±423) g, P<0.01). And the incidence of neonatal hypoglycemia in the PGDM group was higher than the control group (7.7% vs 2.6%, P=0.036).(4)In the PGDM group, women who were treated with insulin had a smaller gestational age at delivery [(36.9±2.9) vs (37.9±2.5) weeks, P<0.01], and the neonates had a higher neonatal ICU(NICU)admission rate (24.2% vs 9.6% , P<0.01). Conclusions The morbidity of PGDM in the 15 hospitals in Guangdong province is 0.472%. The majority of PGDM was diagnosed during pregnancy; HbA1c and fasting glucose are reliable parameters for PGDM screening. Women with PGDM have obvious family history of diabetes and repeated pregnancy may accelerate the process of diabetes mellitus. Women with PGDM have higher risk for preterm delivery and neonatal hypoglycemia. Unsatisfied glucose control followed by insulin treatment may increase the need for NICU admission.

Objective: To analyze the trend of lung cancer incidence rate among rural residents in Feicheng city between the years 2000 and 2012,and predict the incidence rate between the years 2013 and 2018,and subsequently provide baseline data for lung can-cer control and prevention.Methods:With the cancer registration data in Feicheng rural areas,the time trend of lung cancer inci-dence rate and the annual percentage change(APC)were calculated by the Joinpoint model,while the incidence of lung cancer from 2013 to 2018 were predicted by the ARIMA(p,d,q)model.Results:A total of 3,908 new cases of lung cancer were diagnosed be-tween 2000 to 2012.The incidence rate was 40.77/105,the age-specific cancer incidence rate in the Chinese population(ASRC)and world population(ASRW)were 32.95/105 and 32.97/105,respectively.The incidence was 2.14 times higher among males than females (P<0.001).The incidence of lung cancer which apparently rose from 25.13/105to 64.92/105 with an APC value of 9.74%(P<0.001),was increasing every year.The change in the trend of lung cancer with respect to age could be divided into three segments,the incidence rate in the 0 to 59 years group showed a rapid upward trend(APC=113.38,P<0.001),which was lower in the 60 to 79 years group (APC=20.39,P<0.05)and began to decline in the 80 years or older group(APC=-21.20,P>0.05).The incidence of lung cancer was also observed to be increasing yearly from 2013 to 2018,and with an average annual growth rate of 4.92%,was predicted to reach 87.92/105 in 2018.Conclusions:The occurrence of lung cancer was closely related to population aging,unhealthy habits,and environmental risk factors.Due to the increasing aging population,the incidence of lung cancer will continue to increase.In order to formulate specif-ic strategies,the control and prevention of lung cancer must be based on its incidence features.

0bjective To explore the effectiveness of caregivers based on health education under the guidance of timing theory in the nursing of elderly patients after hip replacement.Methods By convenient sampling method,eighty elderly patients undergoing hip replacement were divided into control group and observation group,40 cases in each group.The control group was given routine orthopedic care,and the observation group was based on health management under the guidance of the timing theory(total hip replacement,TIR)based on routine orthopedic care.The Harris Hip Score,Activities of Daily Living Scale(Barthel index),Caregiver Burden Inventory and Family Caregiver Task Inventory were used to compare and evaluate the application effect of health education of two groups of caregivers in the nursing of elderly patients after hip replacement.Results The patients were observed one month and three months after discharge,the Harris score and Barthel index of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.01).At discharge,1 month after discharge and 3 months after discharge,the FCTI score(P<0.01)and CBI score(P<0.01)of family caregivers in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group.Conclusion Caregivers based on health education under the guidance of timing theory can effectively reduce the care burden of caregivers,enhance the care ability of caregivers,improve the rehabilitation effect of patients,and ameliorative the quality of life of patients.

Objective:To explore the optimum opportunity for lumbodorsal muscles exercises of patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and instrumentation, and investigate its effect on the rehabilitation outcomes and kinesiophobia.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was used. By convenient sampling method, a total of 120 lumbar disc herniation patients were prospectively selected from Affiliated Nantong Hospital of Shanghai(Nantong Sixth People′s Hospital) from February 2020 to December 2021. The paitients were assigned to early group, middle group and late group, with 40 cases in each group. All patients were given routine postoperative care and lumbodorsal muscles exercises. The early group started to exercise 10th day after operation, the middle group started to exercise 3 weeks after operation, and the late group started to exercise 6 weeks after operation. The intervention effect was respectively evaluated by Japanese Orthopaedics Association (JOA) and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK).Results:There were 3, 1 and 1 missing cases in the early, middle and late group respectively, the age in the 3 groups were (56.05 ± 11.77), (57.33 ± 14.64) and (54.23 ± 15.73) years old in turn. Three months after exercising, the total score of JOA in the early, middle and late group were (25.32 ± 2.45), (24.44 ± 2.19) and (22.13 ± 1.58) in turn, the difference was significant ( F=23.64, P<0.05); the score of TSK in the early, middle and late group were (37.95 ± 6.81), (34.18 ± 6.39) and (33.33 ± 7.36) in turn, the difference was significant ( F=4.82, P<0.05). Conclusions:Lumbodorsal muscles exercises start at 3 weeks after operation can significantly improve the rehabilitation outcome of lumbar disc herniation patients undergoing posterior lumbar decompression and instrumentation, and will not increase the level of kinesiophobia, its can be consider as optimum opportunity for lumbodorsal muscles exercises.

Objective:To analyze 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging features of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-pNENs) and investigate its correlation with pathology and prognosis. Methods:A total of 35 cases (17 males, 18 females; age (51±12) years) of pathologically confirmed NF-pNENs who underwent pretherapeutic 18F-FDG PET/CT from January 2011 to July 2017 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical data were collected and patients were followed up. PET/CT parameters including number and maximum diameter of lesions, SUV max and pancreatic tumor-to-liver ratio (T/L) were measured. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Spearman correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Results:Among the included 35 NF-pNENs patients (G1, n=6; G2, n=21; G3, n=8) with maximum diameter of 3.0(2.1, 6.1) cm and SUV max of 5.5(4.0, 8.9), 32 were positive in PET/CT. There were 1 patient with cystic, 2 with calcification and 3 with dilatation of pancreaticobiliary duct. Among 10 patients with metastases, 8 revealed multiple liver metastases. There was statistical difference of T/L among G1-G3 tumor (1.23(0.60, 2.00), 3.05(1.80, 4.00), 3.90(1.90, 7.60); H=8.29, P=0.016), but there were no statistical differences of SUV max or maximum diameter among G1-G3 tumor ( H values: 4.34, 3.37, P values: 0.114, 0.186). There was a significant correlation between T/L (2.78(1.48, 3.94)) and Ki-67 index (8.0(3.0, 20.0); rs=0.631, P<0.001). Among 27 patients with available follow-up results, T/L in patients with complete remission or stable disease ( n=20) was statistically lower than that in patients with progressive disease or death ( n=7) (2.1(1.2, 3.2) vs 7.5(3.4, 13.4); z=-3.37, P=0.001). Conclusions:18F-FDG PET/CT can detect primary and metastatic lesions of NF-pNENs. T/L can better reflect the proliferative activity based on Ki-67 index than SUV max and it may be favorable on prognostic value.

Objective:To assess whether cardiac structure and function are associated with frailty in elderly inpatients.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study.Inpatients aged 65 years or over, admitted to Beijing Hospital, Chinese PLA General Hospital and Beijing Tsinghua Changgeng Hospital, were consecutively recruited from September 2018 to April 2019.A total of 925 elderly inpatients were enrolled in the study, including 285 frailty patients and 640 non-frailty patients.Frailty was assessed with the Fried frailty phenotype.Clinical and echocardiographic data were collected.The association of cardiac structure and function with frailty was analyzed.Results:Compared with the non-frailty group, the frailty group was older, had lower body mass index, and had higher rates of heart failure, atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter, history of stroke/transient ischemic attack, renal insufficiency, and history of falls.N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)levels were higher while creatinine clearance and hemoglobin levels were lower(all P<0.05); The frailty group had a larger anterior-posterior left atrial diameter[(37.8±7.1)mm vs.(36.3±5.1)mm, t=-3.134, P=0.002]and a higher proportion with the left atrial anterior posterior diameter ≥45 mm[15.8%(45/285) vs.6.1%(39/640), χ2=22.452, P<0.001], a lower left ventricular ejection fraction[(60.1±9.5)% vs.(61.9±7.5)%, t=2.817, P=0.005]and a faster peak mitral inflow velocity[(0.8±0.3)cm/s vs.(0.7±0.2)cm/s, t=-2.675, P=0.003]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the left atrial anterior posterior diameter ≥45 mm was an independent correlation factor for frailty( OR=2.249, P=0.015). Increased age( OR=1.099, P<0.001), heart failure( OR=1.786, P=0.049), history of stroke/transient ischemic attack( OR=1.960, P=0.001)and decreased hemoglobin( OR=0.984, P=0.008)were independently associated with frailty. Conclusions:The left atrial anterior posterior diameter ≥45 mm and heart failure were independently associated with frailty.Assessing cardiac structure and function and screening for cardiovascular diseases in frailty patients should be emphasized.
