Five groups were assigned to include intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( ICC, n=30 ) , liver cirrhosis (LC,n=30),metastatic carcinoma (MCA,n=30) and 30 healthy subjects.The serum level of GPC3 was measured by a sandwich method of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) by microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA).The serum levels of GPC3 and AFP were significantly higher than those of other groups (P<0.05).At a cut-off value of 3.5μg/L,the sensitivity and specificity of GPC3 in the diagnosis of HCC was 83.3%and 76.7%respectively.The sensitivity of combined measurement of GPC3 and AFP was better than GPC3 or AFP alone.Detectable GPC3 was significantly correlated with the presence of viral hepatitis markers and tumor size.However there was no obvious difference in tumor thrombi in portal vein ( PVTT), tumor number, age, gender or hepatic function of HCC.Thus,as a sensitive serum diagnostic marker for HCC ,GPC3 may be a good supplement to AFP in differentiating HCC from non-malignant chronic liver diseases and other liver cancers.

Objective: To study the effect of cytochrome P-450 4F2 (CYP4F2, rs2108622) gene polymorphisms in patients with warfarin for initial doses in 7 days.
Methods: A total of 271 patients treated by warfarin were studied. The CYP4F2 gene polymorphisms were assessed by real-time PCR, the average initial warfarin doses in 7 days and the time of international normalized ratio (INR) ifrst arrived to therapeutic range were recorded. The differences of initial warfarin doses and the time of INR ifrst arrived to therapeutic range among CYP4F2 gene polymorphisms of CC, CT and TT genotypes were analyzed by statistical method.
Results: The average initial warfarin doses among CYP4F2 polymorphisms of TT and CT/TT were higher than CC, P<0.05. The times of INR first arrived to therapeutic range in TT genotype was higher than CC genotype, P<0.05. With adjusted gender, age, body height and weight, CYP2C9 and VKORC1 polymorphisms, conditions of disease and medication, the effect of CYP4F2 gene polymorphisms on initial warfarin doses in 7 days were still with the statistic meaning (regression coefifcient=0.21, P=0.003).
Conclusion: CYP4F2 polymorphisms inlfuenced the initial warfarin doses in 7 days in relevant patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy on psychological stress and quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods:According to two-level cluster random design 461 patients with tuberculosis from 20 communities in Pizhou county of Jiangsu province were selected in the study from September 2018 to November 2018. The intervention group received cognitive-behavioral therapy for two months, while control group received routine follow-up. Anxiety, depression and quality of life were assessed by GAD-7, PHQ-9 and SF-36 scales, respectively. At the same time, the comparison between the two groups was conducted by independent sample t test, and the difference between the two groups before and after treatment was analyzed by paired sample ttest. Results:A total of 454 participants were finally included in this analysis; there were 230 cases in the intervention group and 224 cases in the control group. In the intervention group the scores of anxiety and depression after intervention were significantly lower than the baseline scores [(7.57±5.27) vs. (5.93±2.56), t=-4.245, P<0.01; (8.13±6.01) vs. (6.02±2.67); t=-4.866, P<0.01], and the quality of life score was significantly higher than the baseline score [(58.46±12.71) vs. (74.31±13.22); t=13.108, P<0.01]; while in the control group there were no significant differences in the scores of anxiety, depression and quality of life after intervention, compared with those at baseline [(7.62±5.41) vs.(7.65±5.38); (8.00±5.84) vs. (8.07±5.91); (59.11±13.25) vs. (60.51±13.76); t=0.059, t=0.126, t=1.104, all P>0.05]. However, only for patients with mild and moderate anxiety and depression symptoms in the intervention group, the anxiety and depression scores were decreased after intervention [(7.29±1.21) vs. (5.54±1.71), (11.99±1.31) vs. (9.17±1.55); (7.01±1.47) vs. (4.42±1.22), (11.88±1.12) vs. (8.39±2.33); t=8.056, t=10.020, t=13.558, t=8.852,all P<0.01]. Conclusion:Cognitive-behavioral therapy can relieve the psychological pressure and improve the quality of life in pulmonary tuberculosis patients with mild or moderate anxiety/depression symptoms.

Objective:To determine the effect of community management based on the Roy′s adaptation model (RAM) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:This study was a cluster randomized controlled study, with the community as the cluster unit, and selected 805 COPD patients from 8 communities in Xuzhou City who had completed community registration before June 2019. A total of 735 patients actually completed follow-up and participated in intervention evaluation. They were randomly divided into control group (362 cases) and intervention group (373 cases) by random number table method. The control group received routine follow-up, while the intervention group received RAM intervention for 6 months. The forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced volume vital capacity (FVC) ratio (FEV 1/FVC) and the modified British medical research council (mMRC) were used to assess the pulmonary function. The hospital anxiety and depression scales (HADS) were used to evaluate the mental health. The Chinese version of the Short Form Coping and Adaption Processing Scale (CAP-15) was used to assess the adaptive capacity. And the St. George′s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) was used to evaluate the quality of life in COPD patients. The t test or χ 2 test was used for pre-intervention comparisons between groups, and the repetitive measure analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for post-intervention comparisons between groups. Results:After 6 months intervention, there were no significant differences in FEV 1/FVC radio between the two groups [(0.61±0.11) vs (0.62±0.12)] ( P=0.172). The scores of mMRC [(2.04±0.33) vs (2.77±0.31) points], HAD-A [(5.28±4.28) vs (6.99±4.41) points], HAD-D [(5.82±5.12) vs (7.27±4.93) points] and SGRQ [(40.17±9.30) vs (53.69±9.77) points] were all lower in the intervention group than those in the control group (all P<0.001). The CAPS-15 score was higher in the intervention group than that in the control group [(35.87±3.62) vs (26.1±3.47)] ( P<0.001). Conclusion:RAM could be used in community management of COPD patients, which could improve their dyspnea symptoms and psychological and physiological functions, also improve their adaptability and quality of life.

Objective:To study the effect of blood volume feedback control system on improving intradialytic-hypotension (IDH) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:It was a prospective cohort study. Thirty MHD patients with recurrent IDH in the Dialysis Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected. A self-control study was conducted in MHD patients. The patients were treated with routine hemodialysis in both baseline phase (A1) and reversal phase (A2), while with hemodialysis under the blood volume feedback control system in intervention phase (B). Each phase lasted for 4 weeks (12 hemodialysis sessions). The average occurrences of IDH and IDH-related adverse events (IDH-RAE, stopping dehydration for more than 10 minutes or getting off the hemodialysis machine 10 minutes earlier due to IDH) of each patient between phase A1, B, and A2 were calculated and compared. In a total of 1 080 dialysis records, a logistic regression analysis model was established with age, sex and intervention as independent variables and with the occurrence of IDH-RAE as the outcome.Results:A total of 30 eligible patients were included in the study, including 14 males (46.7%) and 16 females (53.3%), aged 63.0 (56.5, 72.5) years old, with a median dialysis age of 84.0 (37.2, 120.0) months. The average times of IDH in 30 MHD patients decreased from 1.17 (0.83, 1.67) in stage A1 (before intervention) to 0.33 (0.25, 0.58) in stage B (after intervention) ( P<0.05). The frequency of IDH-RAE decreased significantly from 0.29 (0.19, 0.47) in stage A1 to 0.17 (0,0.25) in stage B ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis results indicated that the use of blood volume feedback control system reduced the risk of IDH-RAE by 53% ( OR=0.47, 95% CI 0.34-0.64, P<0.001). Conclusions:The application of blood volume feedback control system can effectively reduce the occurrences of IDH and the risk of IDH-RAE in MHD patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of group cognitive behavior therapy (GCBT) on anxiety, depression and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in community.Methods:From August to November 2019, patients with moderate COPD in 18 communities in Xuzhou City were randomly divided into the intervention group ( n=240) and the control group ( n=223). The control group received routine management and the intervention group received group cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for 8 weeks on the basis of routine management.Before and after the intervention, FEV 1% predicted value and FEV 1/FVC were measured by pulmonary function tester.Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to evaluate the anxiety and depression of patients.St.George's respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ), COPD assessment test (CAT) and modified medical research council dyspnea (mMRC) were used to evaluate the quality of life of patients.SPSS 20.0 software was used for analysis.The χ 2 test, independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After 8 weeks of intervention, the anxiety and depression scores of the intervention group were lower than those of the control group (anxiety: (8.23±4.02) vs (10.71±3.60); depression: (7.87±3.73) vs (10.20±3.72)( t=6.415, 6.185, both P<0.01). After the intervention, there was no significant difference in FEV 1%((51.7±12.3)% vs (52.0±12.6)%) predicted value and FEV 1/FVC((57.3±10.8)% vs (56.9±10.7)%) between the two groups( t=-0.259, 0.400, both P>0.05). The scores of CAT, mMRC and SGRQ in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group((17.35±5.78) vs (20.90±8.00), (1.55±0.82) vs (2.30±1.21), (41.78±21.56) vs (57.08±24.46))( t=-5.061, -7.227, -6.580, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Group cognitive behavioral therapy can relieve the anxiety and depression and improve the quality of life of patients with COPD.
