Objective To investigate the actual cost and benefit of stoma nursing at present as a reference for the improvement of stoma care cost management program. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out in gastrointestinal surgery of a tertiary- level hospital in southwestern China from April 2014 to December 2014. The consumption of intestinal stoma care work, the average monthly income/average monthly working hours ratio and other indicators of stoma care nurse specialist were measured by the step cost allocation method, to investigate the actually cost of a single stoma care service which colostomy patients had received and analyze the gap between actually costs and charge standard of Sichuan Province. Results The directly human cost of stoma care expenses were (22.33 ± 3.66) yuan; working fee expenses were (4.18 ± 0.68) yuan;administrative expenses were (1.87 ± 1.32 ) yuan; research and education expenses were (1.87 ± 1.32 ) yuan; the total cost of investment was (29.14 ± 4.76) yuan, which was much higher than the current charge standard of Chengdu Bureau of Commodity Prices (t=119.50, P <0.05). Conclusions There is a difference between the actual cost and charge standard of stoma care. The situation of low pay to labor is not in line with economic laws, and not conducive to the future development of stoma care speciality.

A longitudinal study was carried out on fifty infants selected from both urban and rural areas of Beijing for their body weights, heights, head and mid-upper arm circumferences, tricep and abdomen skinfold thicknesses, and breatmilk and energy and protein intakes at the 1st, 3rd and 6th month of life. The results revealed that the breastmilk intakes of these infants were ranged from 600-800 g/day during this period of time, the breastmilk intakes of the rural infants were higher significantly than that of the urban infant throughout the study period (P

Objective To observe the effect of body temperature protection on enhanced recovery after surgery of patients undergoing laparotomy radical gastrectomy.Methods Sixty of patients ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 45-76 years,scheduled for elective radical gastrectomy were ran domly divided into 2 groups (n=30 each):heating blanket group and control group.In the heating blanket group,patients were warmed up during the whole perioperative period using the warmblanket until discharge from PACU;exposed skin as covered with clean surgical dressing;infusion,irrigation fluids and blood transfusions were warmed to 40℃;the bacteriological and viral filters were placed between the Y-piece of the breathing circuit and the tracheal tube.In the control group,patients were not given special heat preservation measures.For temperature measurements,an infrared tympanic ear thermometer was used.The core temperature of two groups were recorded at the pre-operative period (T1),before induction (T2),1 h after induction (T3),closing (T4),extubation （T5),discharging from PACU (T6).The dosage of anesthetic drug,volume of fluids infused,peritoneal fluid flushing volume,operation time,anesthesia time,ambient temperature,amount of bleeding,intrao perative blood transfusion,shivering,extubation time,incision infection and hospitalization time were recorded.Results There was no statistical difference in terms of temperature at T1 between the two groups.Compared with the T1,the core temperature of two groups of patients in T2-T6 were signifi cantly decreased (P ＜0.05).The perioperative core body temperature at T2-T6 was significantly higher in the heating blanket group than in the control group.The amount of bleeding and blood transfusion in perioperative period was significantly less that in the heating blanket group (P＜0.05).The incidence of shivering and surgical-wound infection were significantly lower in the heating blanket group (P＜0.05).The extubation time and hospitalization time were shorter in the heating blanket group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Combined body temperature protection measures can significantly reduce the incidence of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia (IPH) and improve postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing laparotomy radical gastrectomy.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy with sequential chemotherapy in the treatment of high-grade glioma and analyze the influential factors.Methods:A total of 56 patients with high-grade glioma who received treatment in Yantai Municipal Laiyang Central Hospital from January 2014 to January 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy or enhanced radiotherapy. The use of bevacizumab, pathological grade, and preoperative and postoperative Karnofsky Performance Status scores in all patients were recorded. Cox and other proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the predictors of patient mortality and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed.Results:All patients were followed up to April 2022. Follow-up results showed that the median survival time of patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy with temozolomide and adjuvant chemotherapy with temozolomide was 11.6 months. Univariate analysis showed that pathological grade, Karnofsky Performance Status scores, and the degree of tumor resection were correlated with the prognosis of patients ( P = 0.022, 0.049, 0.022). Multivariate analysis showed that the degree of tumor resection and pathological grade were the independent influential factors of prognosis ( P = 0.010, 0.010). Survival curve analysis revealed that the median survival time of patients subjected to total tumor resection was 12.6 months and that of patients subjected to partial tumor resection was 4.8 months. The median survival time of patients subjected to total tumor resection was longer than that of patients subjected to partial tumor resection. The median survival time of patients with WHO grade Ⅲ tumors was 25.2 months, and it was 6.3 months for patients with WHO grade Ⅳ tumors. The median survival time of patients with WHO grade Ⅲ tumors was longer than that of patients with WHO grade Ⅳ tumors. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis results showed that the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve plotted for using WHO classification of tumors in the neurological system and surgical methods to predict the death of patients with high-grade glioma was 0.783 and 0.814, respectively. WHO tumor grade and surgical methods for prediction of prognosis of high-grade glioma had high accuracy. Conclusion:Low pathological grade and total resection are independent protective factors for the prognosis of patients with high-grade glioma.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical diagnostic value of extra-spindle pole-like protein 1 （ESPL1） in the progression of hepatitis B virus （HBV）-related liver fibrosis. MethodsA total of 228 patients with HBV infection who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from June 2017 to August 2023 were enrolled. The transient elastography system FibroScan was used to determine liver stiffness measurement （LSM） for all patients， and according to the LSM value， they were divided into non-liver fibrosis group with 80 patients， mild liver fibrosis group with 83 patients， advanced liver fibrosis group with 30 patients， and liver cirrhosis group with 35 patients. ELISA was used to measure the serum level of ESPL1. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of the serum level of ESPL1 between the four groups； the Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between ESPL1 and LSM； the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to analyze the value of serum ESPL1 in predicting the progression of liver fibrosis. ResultsThe liver cirrhosis group had a significantly higher serum level of ESPL1 than the non-liver fibrosis group and the mild liver fibrosis group （both P<0.05）， and the advanced liver fibrosis group and the mild liver fibrosis group had a significantly higher serum level of ESPL1 than the non-liver fibrosis group （both P<0.05）. The correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between serum ESPL1 and LSM in the patients with HBV infection and varying degrees of liver fibrosis （r=0.515， P<0.001）. Serum ESPL1 had an area under the ROC curve （AUC） of 0.809 in predicting liver cirrhosis and an AUC of 0.638 in predicting advanced liver fibrosis， with a sensitivity of 87.5% and 100%， respectively， and a specificity of 59.7% and 31.3%， respectively. ConclusionThere is a certain correlation between serum ESPL1 and HBV-related liver fibrosis， and higher serum ESPL1 may indicate a higher degree of liver fibrosis. Serum ESPL1 is expected to become one of the serum markers for assisting in the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and an important clinical method for dynamically monitoring the progression of liver fibrosis in patients with HBV infection.
