Objective To summarize the perioperative clinical care experience of parenteral and enteral nutrition supports in post-hepatectomy patients.Methods The clinical data of 146 consecutive post-hepatectomy patients in Beijing Hospital were collected and analyzed.For these patients,nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002 was performed after admission,enteral nutrition support was provided before operation,and enteral and parenteral nutrition supports were provided after operation.Nutritional parameters,clinical outcomes,and nursing methods were evaluated.Results Among these 146 patients,91 patients had≥3 NRS2000 scores,and the remaining 55 patients scored ＜ 3.A total of 118 patients were administrated with enteral and pareteral nutrition;the average enferal nutrition time was 9.6 days,and the average pareteral nutrition time was 5.4 days.The average onset time of passage of gas by anus afar operation was (70.7±17.1) hours.Three patients died,15 patients suffered from infections after operation,and 13 patients experienced other complications.The median hospital stay was 25.5 days.Conclusions Post-hepatectomy patients need take nutritional risk screening after admission and receive appropriate nutritional supports in the perioperative period.It is equally important to strengthen clinical nursing for nutrition support.

Objective To evaluate the postoperative pain induced by various therapeutic catheters after abdominal surgery.Methods A prospective study was conducted in patients selected based on the inclusion criteria.The general condition of the patients was recorded,and nutritional risk screening was performed.The indwelling of therapeutic catheters after abdominal surgery were recorded,including urinary catheter,nasogastric tube,peritoneal drainage tube,common bile duct drainage tube,wound drainage tube,central venous catheter and peripherally inserted central catheter.The pain caused by each type of catheters was evaluated using visual analog scale at 24,48 and 72 hours after tube/catheter insertion.Results A total of 157 patients were selected,including 70 males and 87 females,aged (60.5 ± 12.5) years,with a body mass index of (23.8 ± 3.2) kg/m2,and a total nutritional risk rate of 42％.According to visual analog scale scores,the degrees of pain due to the therapeutic catheters,in descending order,were as follows:4.9 ± 1.7 for nasogastric tube,3.6 ± 0.9 for wound drainage tube,3.0 ±0.9 for urinary catheter,2.6 ±0.9 for central venous catheter,2.4 ± 1.0 for peritoneal drainage tube,1.9 ± 0.7 for common bile duct drainage tube,and 1.8 ± 0.8 for peripherally inserted central catheter.The catheter-induced pain accounted for (44.9 ± 14.1)％ of the total pain during the hospital stay.Conclusions Nasogastric tube,wound drainage tube and urinary catheter can increase the pain of patients.It is therefore recommended to remove the indwelling tubes as early as possible if only the removal does not harm the outcome of the patient.

Objective: To investigate the mediating effect of insomnia among mobile phone addiction, aggressive behaviors and self-perceived identity among university students. Methods: A total of 740 university students were sampled from five universities in Binjiang District, Hangzhou City using a cluster random sampling method. The mobile phone addiction, aggressive behaviors and self-perceived identity were assessed using the Mobile Phone Addiction Index Scale, the Athens Insomnia Scale, the Chinese college students' version of the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire, and the Self-Perceived Identity Scale, and the mediating effect of insomnia among mobile phone addiction, aggressive behaviors and self-perceived identity was examined using Process macro program and Bootstrap method. Results: A total of 740 questionnaires were allocated, and 700 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 94.59%. The respondents included 221 men (31.57%) and 479 women (68.43%), and there were 607 respondents with a specialty of medicine (86.71%). There were 331 participants detected with mobile phone addiction (47.29%), 90 with aggressive behaviors (12.86%) and 289 with low-level self-perceived identity (41.29%), and the prevalence rates of mild, moderate, severe and extremely severe insomnia were 28.00%, 26.14%, 26.43% and 19.43% among respondents, respectively. Mobile phone addiction had a direct predictive effect on aggressive behaviors (β=0.301, P<0.001) and self-perceived identity (β=-0.129, P<0.001), and presented an indirect predictive effect on aggressive behaviors (effect of mobile phone addiction on insomnia: β=0.083, P<0.001; effect of insomnia on aggressive behaviors: β=0.999, P<0.001; effect of insomnia on self-perceived identity: β=-0.698, P<0.001). The contributions of mediating effects caused by insomnia were 21.61% and 31.02% to total effects. Conclusions Insomnia presents partial mediating effects among mobile phone addiction, aggressive behaviors and self-perceived identity among university students. Mobile phone addiction may directly affect aggressive behaviors and self-perceived identity, and indirectly affect aggressive behaviors and self-perceived identity via insomnia.

Objective:To investigate the expression of signal recognition particle 14(SRP14)in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and its clinical significance.Methods:The data of SRP14 expression in HCC were obtained from bioinformatics study,and from investigation with quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting in clinical samples.The Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine the associations between SRP14 mRNA expression and the overall survival,progression-free survival,and disease-specific survival of HCC patients.The effect of SRP14 on the proliferation and migration of HCC cells were determined by EdU staining,MTS,Transwell and wound-healing assays.The potential mechanism for SRP14 regulating HCC was explored through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis as well as qRT-PCR.Results:According to the data from GSE14520,TNMplot database and clinical samples,compared with paired tumor-adjacent tissues,non-paired tumor-adjacent tissues and normal tissues,the mRNA expression of SPR14 in HCC tissues was upregulated(all P<0.05).In clinical samples,compared with paired tumor-adjacent tissues,the protein expression of SPR14 in HCC tissues was increased(P<0.05).The increased mRNA expression of SRP14 was associated with good overall survival,progression-free survival,and disease-specific survival in HCC patients.SRP14 inhibited the proliferation and migration of HCC cells in vitro.According to the KEGG and GO enrichment analysis,in non-specific HCC,the genes co-expressed with SRP14 may predominantly regulate protein synthesis,processing,and transport,while in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease related HCC,the genes co-expressed with SRP14 could control multiple signaling pathways such as MAPK,cAMP,PI3K-Akt,and Wnt.Mechanistically,SRP14 up-regulated the mRNA expression of tumor suppressor gene GPRC5A in HCC cells(P<0.05).Conclusion:SRP14 may regulate HCC progression and influence patient prognosis.

Objective: To study the correlation of lifestyle characteristics with thyroid nodules in a population-based sample of centenarians in Hainan. Methods: The study was based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS) conducted in 18 cities and counties in Hainan province from 2014 to 2016. A group of multidisciplinary team interviewed and examined local centenarians with structured questionnaires and ultrasonography procedures. A total of 918 centenarians were analyzed after excluding those who refused ultrasonographic examinations or had relevant missing data. Thyroids of centenarians were examined by 3-year experienced sonographer, details on lifestyle characteristics and dietary habits were collected by standard procedure. Results: Of the 918 centenarians, 683 (74.4%) had thyroid nodules under the ultrasonography procedures. The prevalence of thyroid nodules in different group of areca nut consumption varied significantly (P<0.05). In multivariate logistic regression model, the results showed female and areca nut intake were independently associated with thyroid nodules in centenarians (P<0.05). Conclusions The modifiable variables including areca nut intake as well as non-modifiable such as gender are independent determinants of thyroid nodules in centenarians. Further studies are warranted to explore and verify these associations in populations with different ranges of age.

Objective To investigate the relationship between interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and miR-185-5p in the process of joint injury in acute gouty arthritis (AGA). Methods The serum miR-185-5p levels of 89 AGA patients and 91 healthy volunteers were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. The correlation between miR-185-5p expression level and VAS score or IL-1β expression level was evaluated by Pearson correlation coefficient method. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of miR-185-5p in AGA. THP-1 cells were induced by sodium urate (MSU) to construct an in vitro acute gouty inflammatory cell model. After the expression level of miR-185-5p in THP-1 cells was upregulated or downregulated by transfection of miR-185-5p mimics or inhibitors in vitro, inflammatory cytokines of THP-1 cells, such as IL-1β, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), were detected by ELISA. The luciferase reporter gene assay was used to determine the interaction between miR-185-5p and the 3'-UTR of IL-1β. Results Compared with the healthy control group, the expression level of serum miR-185-5p in AGA patients was significantly reduced. The level of serum miR-185-5p was negatively correlated with VAS score and IL-1β expression level. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.905, the sensitivity was 80.17% and the specificity was 83.52%. Down-regulation of miR-185-5p significantly promoted the expression of IL-1β, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), while overexpression of miR-185-5p showed the opposite results. Luciferase reporter gene assay showed that IL-1β was the target gene of miR-185-5p, and miR-185-5p negatively regulated the expression of IL-1β. Conclusion miR-185-5p alleviates the inflammatory response in AGA by inhibiting IL-1β.

End-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing outpatient hemodialysis (HD) and home peritoneal dialysis (PD) are high risk population of severe and critical types caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. In order to improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment in dialysis patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, we wrote this recommendation for primary care clinicians. During the epidemic period of SARS-CoV-2 infection, all patients should be instructed to strengthen self-management. Once the SARS-CoV-2 infection was found in dialysis patients, early stratified management should be carried out within 72 hours after the first positive nucleic acid or antigen test results, which includes early antiviral therapy, early recognition, and transferring severe patients from community or primary hospital to a referral hospital promptly. Guidance for dietary and sports rehabilitation after SARS-CoV-2 infection should also be started as soon as possible.
