Objective:To explore the depression of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.Methods:Patients with SLE and healthy subjects(control group) from August 16, 2020 to September 2, 2020 in Urumqi, Xinjiang were collected. The depression and sleep quality were assessed by Self rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). The nonparametric data were represented by median (quartile spacing), and the rank sum test was used to compare the continuous variables between the two groups. Pearson correlation test was used for continuous variables, and Spearman correlation test was used for rank variables or classified variables. Statistical product and service solutions.Results:The prevalence rate of depression in the SLE group (41.9%) was significantly higher than that in healthy control group (32.1%). The difference was statistically significant ( χ2= 10.312, P<0.01). The prevalence rate of poor sleep in the SLE group (31.8%) was significantly higher than that in healthy control group (21.6%). The difference was statistically significant( χ2=3.885, P=0.049). The total score of VAS ( OR=1.366, P<0.01) , PSQI( OR=1.198, P<0.01) were the risk factor of depression in patients with SLE. Conclusion:SLE patients have a higher prevalence of depression during pandemic quarantinee-period, pain and poor sleep quality are risk factors. We need to pay attention to the psychological status of SLE patients.

Objective To observe the clinical safety and efficacy of foscarnet prophylaxis and pre-emptive therapy for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods Ninety-six patients undergoing allo-HSCT from October 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Plasma CMV-DNA was monitored with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) from beginning to 180 days after transplantation. Foscarnet was used not only for prophylaxis but also for first-line pre-emptive therapy when plasma CMV-DNA turned to positive. Foscarnet was given 60 mg·kg-1·d-1 and 120 mg·kg-1·d-1 respectively in prevention and pre-emptive therapy. Incidences of CMV infection and CMV disease were observed, influencing factors on CMV in faction and the efficacy and safety of foscarnet prophylaxis were analyzed, and survival of patients treated by all-HSCT was evaluated. Results Of the total 96 patients, 42 cases (43.8%) had CMV infection with the median time of 42 days after allo-HSCT. CMV-DNA became negative in 36 patients (85.7%, 36/42) after pre-emptive therapy. Six patients (14.3 %, 6/42) developed CMV disease, including 5 patients with CMV negative and 1 patient died for CMV pneumonia. Haploidentical donor and grade Ⅱ-Ⅳacute graft versus host disease (GVHD) were the risk factors for CMV reactivation (χ2 = 3.834, P< 0.05; χ2 = 16.807, P< 0.001). The side effects of foscarnet prophylaxis were mild without hematologic toxicities. 12 patients (28.6 %) died in 42 patients with CMV infection, and 6 patients (11.1 %) died in 54 patients without CMV infection. The difference of survival rates between both groups was not statistically significant. Conclusion Foscarnet is an effective agent for prophylaxis and pre-emptive therapy in CMV infection after allo-HSCT with mild adverse reactions, especially for patients following with hematopoietic recovering.

Objective:To explore the characteristics of nail fold microcirculation in hemodialysis patients and its correlation with cardiovascular events.Methods:The clinical data of 185 patients undergoing regular hemodialysis in Dongguan Donghua Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 76 cases of cardiovascular events (cardiovascular events group) and 109 cases of no cardiovascular events (non-cardiovascular events group). The nail fold microcirculation detector was used to detect the nail fold microcirculation of the first row of capillaries in the nail fold dermal papilla of the left ring finger. The nail fold microcirculation indexes and morphology integral, flow integral, loop integral, total integral were recorded. The general information and laboratory indexes (peripheral venous blood) were recorded. The value of total integral of nail fold microcirculation in predicting the cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve.Results:The age, proportion of hypertension, proportion of diabetes, C-reactive protein (CRP), alkaline phosphatase and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) in cardiovascular events group were significantly higher than those in non-cardiovascular events group: 58 (44, 69) years vs. 49 (40, 63) years, 97.4% (74/76) vs. 83.5% (91/109), 43.4% (33/76) vs. 24.8% (27/109), 9.02 (2.73, 11.70) mg/L vs. 3.76 (1.28, 11.70) mg/L, 82 (75, 97) U/L vs. 72 (59, 82) U/L and 2 652 (1 020, 5 359) ng/L vs. 1 894 (780, 4 601) ng/L, the creatinine and triglyceride (TG) were significantly lower than those in non-cardiovascular events group: (961.95 ± 277.11) μmol/L vs. (1 058.93 ± 284.66) μmol/L and (1.73 ± 1.02) mmol/L vs. (2.27 ± 2.02) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01 or <0.05). There were no statistical differences in gender composition, dialysis age, dialysis time, dialysis pathway, blood routine, serum iron, serum ferritin, total iron binding capacity, serum potassium, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, urea nitrogen, albumin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol between two groups ( P>0.05). There was statistical difference in erythrocyte aggregation between two groups ( P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in the number of vascular loops, diameter of input branch, diameter of output branch, length of loop, diameter of loop top, blood flow rate, clarity, condition of cross loop, condition of malformed loop, shape of nipple and subpapillary venous plexus between two groups ( P>0.05). The morphology integral and total integral in cardiovascular events group were significantly higher than those in non-cardiovascular events group: 1.8 (1.1, 3.1) scores vs. 1.4 (0.8, 2.5) scores and 4.2 (2.4, 6.1) scores vs. 3.1 (1.8, 5.2) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); there were no statistical differences in flow integral and loop integral between two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve of the total integral of nail fold microcirculation for predicting cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients was 0.590 (95% CI 0.506 to 0.673), the best cut-off value was 2.85 scores, the sensitivity was 69.7% and the specificity was 45.9%. Conclusions:The nail fold microcirculation disorder is more serious in hemodialysis patients with cardiovascular events. The nail fold microcirculation detection may help to predict cardiovascular disease.

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-22 (IL-22)-regulated autophagy in hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 )-induced hepatocarcinoma cell damage. Methods HepG2 cells were transfected with pEGFP-LC3 and then cultured in RPMI 1640 medium free of fetal bovine serum (FBS) or containing 1% or 10% FBS. These cells were pretreated with rapamycin or an autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) and then stimulated with recombinat human IL-22 (rhIL-22). GFP-LC3 puncta formation and autophagy signaling ac-tivation were measured. MTT assay was performed to detect cell viability. Results rhIL-22 significantly promoted GFP-LC3 puncta formation and LC3-Ⅱ expression in HepG2 cells treated with different stimulation protocols. The autophagy pathway inhibitor, 3-MA, dramatically suppressed the rhIL-22-activated autophagy signals. rhIL-22 attenuated H2 O2-mediated HepG2 cell death and that could be inhibited by 3-MA. Conclu-sion IL-22 promoted the activation of autophagy signaling pathways and alleviated H2 O2-mediated HepG2 cell damage.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of belimumab in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods:Retrospective analysis was made in 41 patients with SLE who were treated with belimumab in our hospital. The demographic data, clinical features, laboratory test results and treatment-related adverse events (AE) were collected and analyzed. Paired sample t test and Wilcoxon test were used to compare and analyze the changes of laboratory indexes before and after treatment. Results:The follow-up time of the 41 patients was (3.0±1.0) months, and 19 patients stopped belimumab because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the duration for belimumab withdrawal was (2.6±0.9) months. The most common clinical manifestation was impaired renal function (63.4%, 26 cases), followed by musculoskeletal impairment (58.5%, 24 cases). Before and after treatment, the dose of glucocorticoid was significantly decreased [15(9, 35) mg/d vs 13(8, 25) mg/d, Z=-3.573, P<0.01], the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI)-2000 was significantly decreased [5(4, 8) vs 2(2, 4), Z=-4.446, P<0.01], the anti-double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) antibody [enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA)] level was significantly decreased [96(26, 300) vs 36(10, 139), Z=-3.436, P<0.01], the complement C3 level was significantly increased [(0.62±0.22) g/L vs (0.74±0.20) g/L, t=-5.454, P<0.01], the complement C4 level was significantly increased [(0.13±0.07) g/L vs (0.17±0.07) g/L, t=-5.851, P<0.01), the hemoglobin level was significantly increased [(117±15) g/L vs (125±16) g/L, t=-4.236, P<0.01) and A/G level was significantly increased [(1.30±1.36) vs (1.49±0.29), t=-5.174, P<0.01]. Four patients (13.8%) had adverse events during treatment with belimumab, including 1 case of upper respiratory tract infection, 2 cases of urinary tract bacterial infections and 1 case of herpes zoster. Conclusion:Belimumab is safe and effective in the treatment of SLE. It can significantly reduce the dosage of glucocorticoid and improve anemia, but the specific mechanism needs to be further studied.

Objective:To explore the effect of "ten needles in the stomach" on sleep perception of patients with spleen-gastric damp-heat insomnia based on the theory of "stomach discord, then sleep restlessness", to provide references for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The study subjects were 300 patients with insomnia from the sleep department and outpatient department of Shijiazhuang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. According to the random number method, they were divided into the stomach ten needle group, the diazepam group, and the stomach ten needle plus diazepam group, with 100 in each group. Among them, the stomach ten needles group received "stomach ten needles" acupuncture treatment, the diazepam group was given diazepam therapy, and the stomach ten needles plus diazepam group was given diazepam combined with "stomach ten needles" acupuncture treatment. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores, the self-rating disease symptom scale (SCL-90) scores, nighttime polysomnography (PSG) monitoring indicators, and the mean sleep latency (MSL) values were compared before and after treatment in the three groups. The difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups were observed.Results:The total effective rate was 94.0% (94/100) in the combined group, 77.0% (77/100) in the diazepam group, and 85.0% (85/100) in the stomach ten needle group. There were significant differences among the three groups ( χ2=11.56, P<0.01). After treatment, the daytime dysfunction, hypnotic drugs, sleep disturbance, sleep efficiency, sleep time, sleep time, sleep quality score and total score of the combined group were significantly lower than those in the diazepam group and the stomach ten needle group ( F=5.70, 3.65, 5.23, 6.37, 3.66, 6.19, 7.54, 6.40, all Ps<0.01); The scores of SCL-90 and MSL were significantly lower than those in the diazepam group and stomach ten needle group ( F=8.97, 7.53, all Ps<0.01). In the combined group, NWAK [(1.36 ± 0.87) times vs. (2.69 ± 1.15) times, (2.11 ± 1.05) times, F=5.88], SOL [(13.62 ± 5.85) min vs. (25.06 ± 9.42) min, (19.78 ± 7.63) min, F=6.49], N1/TST [(5.69 ± 1.09)% vs. (12.65 ± 2.58)%, (8.49 ± 2.45)%, F=5.13], N2/TST [(51.07 ± 10 2.06)% vs. (58.36 ± 2.18)%, (55.61 ± 2.04)%, F=9.86] were significantly lower than those in the diazepam group and stomach ten needle group ( P<0.01), SE [(90.33 ± 2.89)% vs. (85.39 ± 2.75)%, (87.53 ± 2.69)%, F=8.36], TST [(449.32 ± 23.65) min vs. (421.66 ± 25.33) min, (431.26 ± 25.98) min, F=8.26], REM/TST [(23.87 ± 4.52)% vs. (14.52 ± 3.87)%, (18.36 ± 3.25)%, F=5.34], N3/TST [(18.69 ± 2.02)% vs. (10.31 ± 1.64)%, (14.89 ± 1.74)%, F=7.69] were significantly higher than those in the diazepam group and stomach ten needle group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Based on the "stomach discord, sleep restlessness" theory, the ten needles on the stomach can treat insomnia and improve psychological state and sleep quality, with the functions of clearing the damp and heat of the middle joker, regulating the lifting and lowering of qi in the middle.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is a malignant tumor with a high incidence and morta-lity, which adversely affects the life quality of patients. For hepatocellular carcinoma, surgical trea-tment is advocated to stop the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells by removing the diseased tissue and prolong the survival time. At the same time, the combination of scientific nursing services during surgery can ensure the smooth completion of surgery, reduce the occurrence of complica-tions, and promote early recovery of patients. The authors review the application and progress of dual-linked collaborative care model in patients undergoing liver cancer surgery, with the aim of providing reference for clinical research on the nursing plan for patients undergoing liver cancer surgery.
