ObjectiveTo evaluate the reliahility and validity of the chronic HBV-infections related stigma scale.MethodsThe initial items and construct of the scale were developed according to theoretical analysis and interviews of experts and patients.A total of 151 patients with chronic HBV-infection were administered by convenient sampling method in this pilot study. The reliability and the validity of the scale were then evaluated.ResultsThe response rate of the scale was 94.5％.The Cronbach α coefficients of all dimeusions ranged from 0.75-0.87.The results of correlation analysis showed that there were higher correlation coefficients ( r ranged from 0.62-0.86) between items and their hypothesized subscales than those with other subscales ( r ranged from 0.14-0.55).The scale distinguished between patients with low subscale scores ( the subscale scores were ( 1.89 ±0.30 ),( 1.86 ± 0.29 ),( 1.96 ± 0.23 ),( 2.29 ± 0.45 ),( 1.59 ± 0.42 ) independently) and those with high subscale scores(the subscalc scores were (3.62 ±0.44),(3.99 ±0.41 ),(3.79 ±0.37),(4.13 ±0.34),(3.10 ±0.53 ) independently) (P ＜ 0.01 ).Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the main indices of goodness of fit CFI was 0.94,NNFI 0.92,RMSEA 0.087.ConclusionThe chronic HBV-infections related stigma has good psychometric properties regarding to reliability and validity.

Objective To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein E(Apo E) gene poly-morphism and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and e-valuate the correlative risk factors. Method 40 cases of type 2 diabetes with MCI and 80 cases of type 2 diabetes without MCI were enrolled in this study. The polymorphism of the Apo E gene was detected by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP). According to the clinical data such as course of disease, plasma glucose, plasma fat and body mass index (BMI), the independent risk factors of T2DM and MCI were analyzed by non-conditional logistic regression. Results The frequency of Apo E ε_4 allele in the group of type 2 diabetes with MCI was higher than that without MCI ( 25.0% vs 10. 0% ), and the difference had statistical significance( P < 0. 01 ). The indexes of the statistical significant difference be-twcen the two groups were age, course of disease, postprandial blood glucose ( P2BG), HBA1C, BMI,family history of T2DM, hypertension, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, Apo E gene. The independent risk factors included diabetic retinopathy ( OR = 3. 452, P < 0. 05 ), diabetic peripheral neuropathy( OR = 3. 252, P <0. 05), Ape E gene( OR = 2. 441, P < 0.01 ), HBA1C ( OR = 1. 372, P <0.05), P2BG(OR = 1. 194, P <0.05), age(OR = 1. 194, P <0.01) and course of disease(OR =1. 142, P <0. 05). Conclusion Apo E ε_4 allele has significant relationship with T2DM and MCI. The age, course of disease, control of plasma glucose, and microvascular complication of diabetes have relation-ship with the cognitive function.

Objective To evaluate the results of rotary self-locking intramedullary nail (RSIN) for treating long tubular bone fracture of extremities, and discuss the current problems. Methods One hundred and twenty-two patients with long tubular bone fracture of extremities,including 59 femoral fractures,57 tibial fractures and 6 humeral fractures,who had been treated by RSIN were retrospectively investigated. Results All of the patients achieved clin-ical healing,with an average time of 24 weeks. Nobody was found to appear maluniun,infection and the break of inter-nal fixture. Internal fixations were removed after the fracture healing,with an average time of 14 months. It was diffi-cult to remove the internal fixations in 5 cases, and one case refractured after removing the internal fixations. Conclu-sion RSIN has the advantages such as easy operation,less trauma,no pendulum effect,early motion after operation and so on, except the characters of general interlocking intramedullary nail such as anti-rotation, anti-crispition and anti-displacement.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood specimen collection from umbilical vein catheter on catheter usage condition and relevant complications. Methods 80 premature infants with indwelling umbilical vein catheter were divided into the blood collection group and the non-blood collec-tion group, then the hospitalization time, catheter indwelling time and rate of catheter-related complications were compared. The 40 premature infants in the blood colleetion group were subsequently divided into the experimental group in which blood was collected from umbilical vein catheter and the control group in which blood was collected from peripheral blood vessel, then the blood collection time, success rate and influence on newborns were compared. Results There was no significant difference in hospitalization time, catheter indwelling time and rate of catheter-related complications between the blood collection group and the non-blood collection group. There was statistical significance in blood collection time, success rate and adverse reaction on suffering newborns between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusions There was no obvious influence on the regular service of the catheter if only the method is correct and operating procedure is normative, also it possesses advantages such as no pain, high success rate, peripheral vascular protection, etc. So, it can be used as one of the ways to collect blood speci-men for critical newborns.

A rapid method was developed for the determination of 5 common fatty acids, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid in industrial oleic acid based on ultra_performance convergence chromatography_mass spectrometry ( UPC_MS) . The sample was dissolved by n_hexane, followed by clean_up of extract using 0. 22 μm organic phase filter. The fatty acids were separated in 3 min on the column of Acquity UPC2 BEH 2_EP by gradient elution with carbon dioxide and methanol/acetonitrile (1∶1, V/V) system, and finally detected by MS detector in ESI- mode. Through the optimization of UPC2_MS condition, the reasonable linearity was achieved for all the analytes over the range of 0. 5-100 mg/L with the correlation coefficients ( R2 ) greater than 0. 9985. The recoveries for five fatty acids at three spiked levels were in the range from 89 . 3% to 106 . 67% with relative standard deviations of 0 . 8%-3 . 0%. The limits of detection for target compounds in the method ranged from 0. 07 mg/L to 0. 26 mg/L. The real sample analysis showed that this method was simple,fast and had a good separation effect. There was no need of derivatization for fatty acid samples. This work would provide a fast and effective detection method for UPC2 technology in oil related research field.

Objective To explore the cause,treatment and prognosis of delayed massive haemorrhage (DMH) after pancreatic resection.Method Clinical data of 1554 patients undergoing pancreatectomy in our hospital from Aug 2003 to Aug 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 16 patients suffered from DMH,including 13 patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy,and 3 patients who had had resection of pancreatic body and tail.Gastrointestinal haemorrhage occurred in 6 patients,intra-abdominal haemorrhage occurred in 10 patients,respectively.Reoperations were performed in 11 patients,transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) undertaken in 2 patients,and endoscopic treatment in 3 patients.10 patients recovered after treatment,6 patients (6/16) died.Conclusions The mortality of DMH after pancreatic surgery is high.Postoperative pancreatic leak and gastrointestinal stress ulcer are the most possible risk factors,intra-abdominal arterial haemorrhage is the main cause of death.

Objective To evaluate the management of biliary complications (BC) following orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Methods From Feb 1999 to Feb 2004, 236 cases underwent OLT with end-to-end choledocho-choledochostomy. Biliary anastomosis was performed by intermittent suture with T tube placement in 96 cases, without T tube in 39 cases, by continuous suture in posterior wall and intermittent suture in anterior wall and without T tube in 101 cases. Results Thirty-two (13.3%) patients developed BC, with incidences in group 1, 2 and 3 of 17.7%, 15.4% and 7.9%, respectively. The incidence of hepatic hilar and/or intrahepatic bile duct strictures was 8.3%, 2.6% and 1.0%, respectively. BC incidence in group 3 significantly decreased. Twenty patients with biliary stricture underwent endoscopic and/or radiological interventions, and stricture resolution was achieved in 90% of patients with anastomotic strictures and 60% of patients with hepatic hilar and/or intrahepatic strictures. Conclusions Modified biliary tract reconstruction technique contributes to the decrease of BC. Endoscopic and/or radiological interventions should be used for non-ischemic anastomotic biliary strictures or simple hepatic hilar strictures.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of venetoclax-based combined regimen in treatment of adult patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:The data of 50 adult AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) who received venetoclax-based combined regimen in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University, Dongguan People's Hospital, the First Hospital of Longyan City, Jieyang People's Hospital from December 2018 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Different doses venetoclax combined with demethylation drugs or low-dose chemotherapy regimen were used to analyze the therapeutic efficacy. The related factors influencing efficacy were analyzed by using logistic regression.Results:The composite complete remission (CR) rate of 50 AML patients was 62.0% (31/50), the overall response rate (ORR) was 76.0% (38/50); 28 patients achieved effectiveness [CR and partial remission (PR)] after the first cycle and could achieve effectiveness by 3 courses of treatment at the latest. Among 50 patients, 28 cases were newly diagnosed AML, the composite CR rate was 60.8% (17/28), ORR was 78.6% (22/28); 22 cases were recurrent and relapsed, the composite CR rate was 63.6% (14/22), ORR was 72.7% (16/22); and there was no statistically significant difference of ORR between the both groups ( χ2 = 0.23, P = 0.743). Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed age was the only independent influencing factor for the treatment effectiveness ( OR = 8.451, 95% CI 1.306-54.697, P = 0.025). The median duration time of patients receiving venetoclax treatment regimen was 4.5 months (1.1-15.0 months); 16 cases who had treatment effectiveness finally relapsed, the median time of maintaining effectiveness was 5 months (1.1-11.0 months). Additionally, the common treatment-related adverse reactions included bone marrow suppression after treatment, followed by some gastrointestinal reactions like nausea, vomiting and stomachache. In addition, no patient stopped medication for more than 1 week due to bone marrow suppression related complications. Conclusion:Venetoclax-based combined regimen shows a good short-term efficacy in treatment of AML. It is also effective and tolerable for elderly patients receiving reduced dose therapy.

Objective:To study the risk factors of adverse pregnancy outcomes for induced abortion of cesarean scar pregnancy in midtrimester.Methods:A national multicenter retrospective study was conducted. A total of 154 singletons pregnant women with cesarean scar pregnancy during the second trimester induced abortion by various reasons in 12 tertiary A hospitals were selected, their pregnant outcomes were observed and the risk factors of serious adverse outcomes were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logstic regression; the role of ultrasound and MRI in predicting placenta accreta and severe adverse outcomes was evaluated, the effectiveness of uterine artery embolization (UAE) in preventing hemorrhage in pregnant women with and without placenta accreta was compared.Results:Among 154 subjects, the rate of placenta accreta was 42.2% (65/154), the rate of postpartum hemorrhage≥1 000 ml was 39.0% (60/154), the rate of hysterectomy was 14.9% (23/154), the rate of uterine rupture was 0.6% (1/154). The risk factor of postpartum hemorrhage≥1 000 ml and hysterectomy was placenta accreta ( P<0.01). For each increase in the number of parity, the risk of placenta accreta increased 2.385 times (95% CI: 1.046-5.439; P=0.039); and the risk of placenta accreta decreased with increasing ultrasound measurement of scar myometrium thickness ( OR=0.033, 95% CI: 0.001-0.762; P=0.033). The amount of postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy rate in the group with placenta accreta diagnosed by ultrasound combined with MRI were not significantly different from those in the group with placenta accreta diagnosed by ultrasound only or MRI only (all P>0.05). For pregnant women with placenta accreta, there were no significant difference in the amount of bleeding and hysterectomy rate between the UAE group [median: 1 300 ml; 34% (16/47)] and the non-embolization group (all P>0.05); in pregnant women without placenta accreta, the amount of bleeding in the UAE group was lower than that in the non-embolization group (median: 100 vs 600 ml; P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in hysterectomy rate [2% (1/56) vs 9% (3/33); P>0.05]. Conclusions:(1) Placenta accreta is the only risk factor of postpartum hemorrhage≥1 000 ml with hysterectomy for induced abortion of cesarean scar pregnancy in midtrimester; multi-parity and ultrasound measurement of scar myometrium thickness are risk factors for placenta accreta. (2) The technique of using ultrasound and MRI in predicting placenta accreta of cesarean scar pregnancy needs to be improved. (3) It is necessary to discuss of UAE in preventing postpartum hemorrhage for induced abortion of cesarean scar pregnancy in midtrimester.
