Some of the patients with rectal cancer are less sensitive to preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).Patients who are resistant to CCRT have a poor local tumor control and CCRT may also increase adverse reactions.The sensitivity of rectal cancer patients to CCRT can be predicted by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),positron emission tomography,serum carcinoembryonic antigen,molecular biomarkers and gene expression profiling before treatment.According to the predicted results,the clinicians are instructed to choose individualized treatment for the patients so that the therapeutic effects of rectal cancer are further improved.

Objective:To explore the current situation of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among parents of premature infants, and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From January to September 2019, this study selected 121 parents of premature infants at two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals of Zhejiang Province as subjects by convenience sampling. Those parents were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, the Attitudes Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) , Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) . A total of 121 questionnaires were sent out and 112 valid questionnaires were collected with 92.6% for the valid recovery rate.Results:Among 112 parents of premature infants, the total score of ATSPPH-SF was (18.11±3.76) . There were statistical differences in the total score of ATSPPH-SF among parents with different body weight of premature infants, parents' genders, places of residence and family monthly income ( P<0.05) . Among parents of premature infants, the total score of ATSPPH-SF had a positive correlation with positive coping style ( r=0.337, P<0.05) , and had negative correlations with scores of negative coping style and self-efficacy ( r=-0.319, -0.296, P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among parents of premature infants included the body weight of premature infants, family monthly income, positive coping style and self-efficacy with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing managers should pay attention to the attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help among parents of premature infants, especially in those with low levels of body weight of premature infants, family monthly income and self-efficacy. Nursing managers also should help them to establish the positive coping style so as to improve parents' acceptance of seeking professional psychological help.

Objective:To observe the characteristics and differences of gut microbiota in asthma patients with different inflammatory types through metagenomic analysis.Methods:Adults aged ≥18 years who visited the Respiratory Clinic of Peking University Third Hospital from August 1, 2021 to August 31, 2022 and were primarily diagnosed with asthma were selected as the study subjects. Finally, 29 patients with stable asthma were included. Fresh fecal samples were collected and the fecal DNA was extracted for high-throughput 16sRNA sequencing of gut microbiota. The diversity and community structure of gut microbiota in different groups of asthma patients were compared, and the species differences were analyzed through random forest and LEfSe analysis.Results:There were sex-based differences in asthma patients with different types of inflammation, and the proportion of female patients was higher in neutrophilic asthma patients ( χ2=4.14, P=0.042). There was no significant intergroup difference in the alpha diversity of gut microbiota among asthma patients with different inflammatory types, but there were significant differences in the microbiome. Patients with neutrophilic asthma had higher relative abundance of Bacillales ( P=0.029) and Oscillospiraceae ( P=0.015). In species LEfSe analysis, patients with eosinophilic asthma had a higher relative abundance of fungi. Conclusion:There are intergroup differences in the gut microbiota of asthma patients with different inflammation types, and fungi are biomarkers that distinguish the differences in gut microbiota between patients with eosinophilic asthma and neutrophilic asthma.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of neonatal chylothorax.Methods:The clinical data of newborns diagnosed with chylothorax from June 2016 to June 2023 in Neonatal Center of Beijing Children's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, and divided into congenital group and acquired group according to the pathogenesis of chylothorax. The clinical characteristics, treatment methods and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:A total of 23 cases were included, including 17 cases (73.9%) in the congenital group and 6 cases (26.1%) in the acquired group. There was no significant difference in gender, gestational age and birth weight between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with the acquired group, the proportion of lymphocytes (97.0% vs. 85.0%), the use of erythromycin (7/17 vs. 1/6) and octreotide (9/17 vs. 1/6) and special formula milk feeding (13/17 vs. 2/6) were higher in the congenital group; the proportion of right hydrothorax (1/17 vs. 3/6), invasive mechanical ventilation (6/17 vs. 6/6) and breastfeeding (0/17 vs. 3/6) were lower in the congenital group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in terms of the white blood cell count in pleural fluid and plasma protein content, incidence of bilateral and left pleural fluid, proportion of closed thoracic drainage, maximum daily drainage volume, drainage duration, total drainage volume, albumin utilization rate, length of stay and survival rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). 18 cases of pleural effusion absorption without recurrence after conservative treatment; 5 cases died, of which 4 cases died after their parents abandoned treatment, and 1 case died of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis after thoracic duct ligation surgery. Conclusions:Congenital chylothorax and acquired chylothorax were similar in severity, course of disease and overall prognosis. The utilization rate of erythromycin and octreotide in congenital chylothorax was higher than that in acquired chylothorax. The neonatal chylothorax is usually with an overall good prognosis.
