Objective To investigate the expressions of ALCAM,IL-17RA and PIK3CA in patients with non-small cell lung cancer,and to investigate the correlation between the above-mentioned indexes and patients′ prognosis.Methods A total of 65 patients with non-small cell lung cancer admitted to the third People′s Hospital in Liaocheng City were selected and were served as study objects.Immunohistochemical staining(S-P) method was used to detect the expression of ALCAM,IL-17RA and PIK3CA in tissues to analyze the difference of expression between different pathological parameters.And 65 patients were followed up after the operation to compare the survival time of patients in the negative expression group and the positive expression group,and to analyze the correlation between ALCAM,IL-17RA and PIK3CA and the prognosis of the disease.Results Among the 65 cases of patients,47 cases were positive for ALCAM with the positive rate of 72.3%,34 cases were positive for IL-17RA with the positive rate of 52.3%;31 cases were positive for PIK3CA with the positive rate of 47.7%.There was significant difference in the expression of ALCAM,IL-17RA and PIK3CA in patients with different pathological types,TNM staging and lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).There was no significant statistical difference in the expression of patients with different genders and ages(P>0.05).The median survival time of patients with positive results of ALCAM,IL-17RA and PIK3CA were lower than those of negative group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of ALCAM,IL-17RA and PIK3CA increased in non-small cell lung cancer tissues to remind the higher degree of malignancy and poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and antibiotic susceptibility of osteomyelitis infected by Gram-negative bacteria (G-) in patients suffered from diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Methods The clinical data of 91 DFU pa-tients accompanied with osteomyelitis (DFO) were retrospective studied. These patients hospitalized in the Tianjin Metabolic Diseases Hospital were divided into two groups, Gram-negative bacteria (G-) group (n=44) and Gram-positive bacteria (G+) group (n=42), respectively. The clinical features were compared between two groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors for Gram-negative bactreial infection. The Gram-negative antibiogram was summarized. Results A total of 112 pathogens were isolated from 91 patients. G-bacteria were the most frequent pathogens (48.2%), following by G+ bacteria (47.3%) and fungi (4.5%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the majority of the G-bacteria. Comparing the two groups, the rate of antibiotic use within the previous 6 months was significantly higher in G-group (75.0%) than that of G+group (52.4%, P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the other indicators between two groups. The Logistic re-gression analysis revealed that the history of antibiotic use was the independent risk factor of G-bacterial infections in DFO patients. Antibiotics susceptibilities reflected G- bacteria were more prevalent to resist to cephalosporins and quinolonem, but sensitive to imipenem, ceftazidine and cefperazone-sulbactam. Conclusion Gram negative bacteria were not only the main pathogens isolated from DFO patients, but also frequently resistant to several popular antibiotics in China. The proper bacteria culture and antibiotic sensitivity test are especially emphasized to patients with DFU.

Objective To understand the characteristics and the predictors of the distribution of exercise behavior stages in COPD patients after discharge from the hospital,and to provide a reference basis for the implementation of the whole process and continuous rehabilitation care decision-making.Methods Using the convenience sampling method,380 COPD patients who were hospitalized in the departments of respiratory medicine or geriatrics in 2 tertiary-level hospitals in Chongqing from February 2022 to February 2023 were selected for the study,and were followed up until 6 months after the patients were discharged from the hospital.Questionnaires were administered using the self-designed General and Disease-Related Information Questionnaire,Exercise Stages of Change Scale,Exercise Benefits and Barriers Scale,Exercise Self-Regulatory Efficacy Scale,Social Support Rate Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.Characteristics and predictors of exercise behavior in COPD patients after hospital discharge were analyzed using univariate analysis and ordered multicategorical logistic regression.Results The included 380 COPD patients of post-discharge exercise behavior were 53 cases(14.0%)in the pre-intentional stage,97 cases(25.5%)in the intentional stage,103 cases(27.1%)in the preparatory stage,75 cases(19.7%)in the action stage,and 52 cases(13.7%)in the maintenance stage.The age,monthly household income,daily chores,sleep,exercise habits,and history of the current inpatient rehabilitation,number of acute episodes in the last year,whether home oxygen therapy and regular use of medication for respiratory diseases,degree of dyspnea,perceived exercise benefit/impairment,social support,and depression were the main predictors of the distribution of the stages of exercise behavior in COPD patients after discharge from the hospital.Conclusion Most COPD patients did not develop regular exercise behavior habits after discharge,and the level of their exercise behavior was affected by a variety of factors,including individual characteristics,disease factors,decision-making balance,social support,and psychology,suggesting that healthcare professionals should develop personalized early exercise interventions according to the characteristics of the behavioral stage in which the patient is located in order to increase the long-term effects of the intervention.
