Objective:To explore the influence of gender and age on the measurement of cone beam CT (CBCT) in normal and occluded craniofacial hard tissues for Han nationality in Changsha area.Methods:A total of 80 CBCT data of normal and occluded craniofacial hard tissues for Han nationality in Changsha area were collected,including 40 adults [16 males and 24 females,aged (17.57±1.83) years] and 40 children[16 males and 24 females,age (11.50±1.26) years].Threedimensional cephalometric measurements were carried out by Dolphion Imaging software,and the influence of gender and age was compared.Results:The symmetry of craniofacial hard tissues in male and female in the adults was good (the maximum asymmetric rate R was 6.39% and the minimum asymmetric rate R was 0.08%).There was no significant differencein the anterior palatal width,palatal width,the upper incisor protrusion distance,the lower incisor protrusion distance,hyoid-mandibular plane,basal epiglottis width,and palatal plane airway width between the males and females (all P>0.05);while the remaining indicators were significantly higher in males than those in females (all P<0.05).There was no significant gender difference in angle indicators (all P>0.05).There were significant differences in the posterior height,the maxillary length,the lower incisor protrusion,and the mandibular plane angle between the adults and the children(all P<0.05);but the rest of indicators were not significant difference (all P>0.05).Conclusion:The symmetry of craniofacial hard tissues for Han nationality in Changsha area is good.The gender and age affect the line space measurements but not affect the most of the angle measurements.

Objective:To construct transitional care evaluation system for lung cancer patients with chemotherapy based on Omaha systemtheory.Methods:Based on literature research, the first draft of transitional care evaluation system for lung cancer patients with chemotherapy was preliminarily formulated by combining Omaha system, content analysis, cross-mapping method and expert group meeting. By using Delphi expert consultation method, 15 experts from the field of oncology medicine and oncology nursing were conducted two rounds of expert consultation from January 2019 to March 2019. Finally, the transitional care evaluation system for lung cancer patients with chemotherapy was formed. From April 2019 to May 2019, 30 lung cancer patients with chemotherapy in a cancer specialist hospital were selected to evaluate the importance of the contents of the transitional care nursing evaluation system. The enthusiasm of experts was expressed by the effective recovery rate of the questionnaire, the authority of experts was expressed by the expert authority coefficient ( Cr) , the coordination degree of expert opinions was expressed by the coefficient of variation and Kendall coordination coefficient, and the concentration degree of opinions was expressed by the value of importance. Results:The recovery rates of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 100%. The expert authority coefficient of the second round of expert consultation was 0.80. Kendall's coordination coefficients of the first-levelindicators and second indicators were 0.300 and 0.160 respectively ( P<0.001) . The evaluation opinions of experts and patients tended to be consistent. The transitional care evaluation system for lung cancer patients with chemotherapy was finally constructed, including 8 first-level indicators and 62 second-level indicators. Conclusions:In this study, contents of transitional care evaluation system for lung cancer patients with chemotherapy are scientific and reasonable, which can provide a reference for the effective implementation of transitional care for lung cancer patients with chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between triglyceride glucos (TyG), C-reaction protein/albumin (CRP/Alb), 25-hydroxy vitamin D[25(OH)D] and the prognosis of patients with continous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods:A total of 220 CAPD patients in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from January 2017 to March 2020 were prospectively selected and divided into death group and survival group according to the 6-month prognosis. The peritoneal urea clearance index (Kt/V urea), TyG, CRP/Alb, 25(OH)D were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of CAPD patients. The predictive value of TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D on the prognosis of CAPD patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results:After 3 months and 6 months of dialysis, the peritoneal Kt/V urea in the death group [(1.21±0.18)ml/(s·1.73 m 2), (1.02±0.14)ml/(s·1.73 m 2)] was significantly lower than that in the survival group [(1.57±0.40)ml/(s·1.73 m 2), (1.49±0.42)ml/(s·1.73 m 2)] (all P<0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of dialysis, the TyG [(8.79±0.86), (9.24±1.03)] and CRP/Alb [(4.98±0.94)×10 -4, (5.14±1.39)×10 -4] in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [(8.03±0.60), (7.26±0.93), (3.57±1.19)×10 -4, (3.07±0.88)×10 -4], while the 25(OH)D [(19.14±2.29)ng/ml, (17.79±3.17)ng/ml] was lower than that of survival group [(22.67±3.03)ng/ml, (24.31±2.51)ng/ml] (all P<0.05). TyG and CRP/Alb at 3 months and 6 months of dialysis were negatively correlated with Kt/V urea, while the 25(OH)D was positively correlated with Kt/V urea (all P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that Kt/Vurea, TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D were associated with prognosis in the two groups after 3 and 6 months of dialysis (all P<0.05). The AUC of TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D at 6 months of dialysis combined to predict the prognosis of CAPD patients was the highest, which was 0.911. Conclusions:TyG, CRP/Alb and 25(OH)D are associated with all-cause mortality in CAPD patients. High TyG and CRP/Alb and low 25(OH)D suggest a higher risk of all-cause mortality. Combined detection of all indicators can effectively predict the prognosis of CAPD, which is convenient for early clinical intervention.
