Objective:To observe the influence of SBAR communication mode on the condition of patients undergoing thoracolaparoscopic combined with esophageal cancer resection.Methods:A total of 200 patients who were admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology and Oncology from October 2017 to October 2019 in Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were selected for elective thoracolaparoscopic combined with esophageal cancer resection. According to the random number method, they were divided into 100 cases in the control group and the SBAR group. The control group used conventional preoperative communication visit mode, and the SBAR group used SBAR communication mode and preoperative visit based on the control group. The following items such as the preoperative negative mentality scores, quality of life score, postoperative complications and nursing satisfaction rate of the two groups before and after nursing interventionwere compared.Results:Before the intervention, the difference of the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores of the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the two groups were 49.32±4.96, 55.95±5.32, 50.93±4.74, and 56.33±5.89, respectively, which were significantly reduced. The SDS and SAS scores of the SBAR group were lower than those of the control group ( t values were -9.115 and -7.142, P<0.001). The difference of the World Health Organization Brief Table on Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) scores of the two groups before the intervention was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the WHOQOL-BREF scores of the two groups were 12.27±1.39 vs. 9.18±1.24, 16.13±1.51 vs. 12.48±1.22, 16.13±1.95 vs. 12.71±1.28, 15.09±1.81 vs. 13.08±1.48, 18.11±1.82 vs. 13.51±1.47, 14.09±1.61 vs. 12.98±1.28. The scores of the SBAR group were higher than those of the control group ( t values were 5.397-19.662, P<0.001). The postoperative complications rate of the SBAR group was 3.00% (3/100), which was less than 18.00% (18/100) of the control group ( χ 2 value was 11.971, P<0.001). The overall satisfaction rate of patients in the SBAR group with care was 100.00% (100/100), which was higher than the 84.00% (100/100) in the control group ( χ 2 value was 17.391, P<0.001). Conclusions:In patients with esophageal cancer undergoing thoracic laparoscopy combined with esophageal cancer resection, the use of SBAR communication mode for the patient′s preoperative visit can significantly reduce the patient′s preoperative anxiety and depression negative scores and improve the patient′s quality of life, reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications, improve patient satisfaction with nursing with ideal effect.

BACKGROUND:The research at home and abroad for appropriate immature myocardial cardioplegia has no breakthrough, and it may be a better mean to improve the protection effect of existing cardioplegia on immature myocardial by adding ingredients. Adenosine can reduce ischemia and neutrophil-mediated reperfusion injury, and salvia miltiorrhiza can reduce the content of ischemic myocardial lipid peroxide and increase the scavenging of myocardial cells to oxygen radical. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protection effect of improved myocardial protection fluid containing adenosine and salvia miltiorrhiza on the heart, liver and kidney. METHODS:Sixty cases of infant open heart operation of the first time were randomly divided into three groups, 20 cases in each group. The adenosine group received the improved myocardial protection fluid added with adenosine, the combination group received the improved myocardial protection fluid added with adenosine and miltiorrhiza salvia, and the control group received the improved myocardial protection fluid in the same volume. The blood samples were taken at the time before anesthesia induction, 30 minutes after cardio pulmonary bypass beginning, 1 hour after cardio pulmonary bypass end and 24 hours after cardio pulmonary bypass end. The serum levels of the creatine kinase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, interleukin-8 and interleukin 10 were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The serum levels of the alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine and creatine kinase in three groups were increased, but the control group was increased significantly (P<0.01), and there were significant differences between adenosine group and combination group (P<0.05);the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 were significantly increased after operation (P<0.05). The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the control group were significantly higher than those in the adenosine group and combination group before induction and at the same time point (P<0.01);at 3 minutes and 24 hours after cardio pulmonary bypass, the level of interleukin-10 was increased in three groups, but the level of interleukin-10 in the adenosine group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.01). The results indicate that improved myocardial protection fluid has great protection effect on immature myocardial, and can significantly reduce the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 and interleukin-8, promote the secretion of interleukin-10 that can inhibit inflammatory cytokine and can significantly reduce the inflammatory response caused by cardiopulmonary bypass. So the improved myocardial protection fluid has protection effect on important organs, such as heart, lung, liver and kidney.

Objective To investgate the value of various parameters obtained from monoexponential, biexponential, and stretched exponential diffusion?weighted imaging models in the differential diagnosis of breast lesions. Methods A retrospective study performed in 54 patients with pathologically confirmed malignant tumors(n=30), benign lesions(n=34) and normal fibroglandular tissues (n=30). All patients underwent T1WI, T2WI, dynamic enhancement and diffusion weighted MRI with multi?b values at a 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging unit. All parameters were measured at a workstation. ADC was calculated by using monoexponential analysis(b=0, 800 s/mm2). Slow apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC?slow), fast apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC?fast), and perfusion fraction (f) were calculated using the biexponential model. Distributed diffusion coefficient (DDC) and water molecular diffusion heterogeneity index (α) were obtained from diffusion?weighted images using the stretched exponential model. All parameters were statistically compared among normal fibroglandular tissues, benign lesions and malignant tumors using Kruskal?Wallis rank sum test. Mann?Whitney U test were used for further comparisons between specific group pairs. ADC values were compared with ADC?slow and DDC for different groups by paired Wilcoxon test. Correlations between ADC?value, ADC?slow and DDC were assessed by using Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze and compare the ability of these parameters in differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions. Results The ADC, ADC?slow, f, DDC and α values were significantly different among the normal fibroglandular tissues, benign tumors and malignant tumors (P<0.05). Further differential comparisons of the four parameters between each pair showed that the ADC, ADC?slow, f, DDC and α values were significantly lower in malignant tumors than both in normal fibroglandular tissues and benign tumors(P<0.016 7). The ADC values of normal fibroglandular tissues, benign tumors and malignant tumors were significantly higher than ADC?slow and DDC (P<0.05). The f and DDC had higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.688 and 0.657 respectively). The optimal cutoff values for ADC, ADC?slow, f, DDC and α were 1.235 × 10-3mm2/s, 0.428 × 10-3mm2/s, 57.8%, 1.175 × 10-3mm2/s and 0.721, respectively. Theαvalue showed higher specificity (65.5%) and the f value had higher sensitivity (82.9%). Conclusion The parameters derived from biexponential and stretched exponential DWI could be helpful for differentiation between benign and malignant breast tumors.

Objective To investigate the different radioprotective effects of total flavonoids of Astragalus (TFA) on human normal mesenchymal stem cells(hMSCs) and hepatoma cells injured by 60 Coγ-ray radiation.Methods hMSCs and HepG-2 cells were cultured and randomly divided into TFA-treated and untreated groups.The cells of different groups were irradiated with 60 Co γ-rays at the dose of 6 Gy.MTT method was utilized to detect the survival rates of the hMSCs and HepG-2 cells pretreated or untreated with TFA before irradiation.Cell clone formation test was used to measure the cellular radiosensitivity.The apoptosis rates of different groups were determined by flow cytometer assay.The expression rates of the apoptosis-promoting proteins Fas and Bax and the apoptosis-inhibiting protein Bcl-2 were analyzed by Western blotting.Results MTT showed that the survival rates of hMSCs pretreated by TFA were 1.15-1.95 times higher than that of the pure irradiation group.On the contrary,the survival rates of the TFA pretreated HepG-2 cells were only 0.53-0.23 times that of the pure irradiation group.There was a good dose-effect relationship between the cell survival rate and the TFA concentration.Cell clone formation rate indicated that combined treatment of TFA and radiation inhibited the cell proliferation more effectively than single TFA or pure radiation.Flow cytometry showed that 6,24 and,48 h post-irradiation to 6 Gy,the apoptosis rates of the hMSCs were 23.3% ,11.2% ,and 2.9% ,respectively in the TFA pretreated group and were 29.3% ,24.9% ,and 13.6% in the pure radiation group.However,the apoptosis rates of the HepG-2 cells at 6,24,and 48 h post-irradiation to 6 Gy were 11.6% ,17.3% ,and 20.1% ,respectively in the TFA pretreated group and were 6.9% ,9.3% ,and 15.8% ,respectively in the direct radiation group.Western blotting showed that the expression levels of Fas and Bax proteins in the HepG-2 cells were significantly higher in the TFA pretreated group than in the pure radiation group.On the contrary,the expression level of the apoptosis inhibiting protein Bcl-2 was significantly lower in the TFA pretreated group than in the pure radiation group.Conclusions TFA has obvious effects of radiological protection on human hMSCs and has no effects of radiological protection but effects of apoptosis enhancement on hepatoma cells.The promotion of apoptosis of TFA on hepatoma cells is primarily through increasing the expression of apoptotic proteins such as Fas and Bax and reducing the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2.

Objective To observe change of T regulatory cells (Tregs) and its relation with in-jury severity and sepsis following severe muhiple injury. Methods A total of 60 patients were em-ployed in the study and divided into severe group (30 patients) and critical group (30 patients) based on ISS scores and into sepsis group (22 patients) and non-sepsis group (38 patients) based on complication of sepsis. The proportion of Tregs in peripheral blood in different groups was detected by flow cytometry at days 1,3,5 and 8 after injury. Results The proportion of Tregs was significantly increased at day 5 postinjury, with statistical difference compared with that at day 3 postinjury (P < 0.01). The proportion of Tregs remained increasing at day 8 pestinjury (P < 0.05). At day 8 postinjury, the proportion of Tregs in critical group was significantly higher than that in severe group (P < 0.01). At the same time, the proportion of Tregs in sepsis group was significantly higher than that in non-sepsis group (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed a positive correlation of Tregs proportion with ISS score (rs =0.654, P < 0.01). Conclusions Tregs play an important role in suppression of T cell-mediated im-munity after severe injury. The variation of Tregs can help evaluate prognosis and predict the risk of com-plicating sepsis in patients with severe multiple injury.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) and lung injuries by assessing their clinical manifestations and characteristics.
METHODSFrom July 2009 to April 2012, 91 UC patients presenting to Longhua Hospital who met the established inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the scores of disease activity index, the patients were divided into the mild, moderate, and severe groups. Meanwhile, the records of pulmonary symptoms, chest X-ray image, and pulmonary function were reviewed.
RESULTSSixty-eight (74.7%) patients had at least 1 pulmonary symptom, such as cough (38.5%), shortness of breath (27.5%), and expectoration (17.6%). And 77 (84.6%) had at least 1 ventilation abnormality. Vital capacity value was significantly lower in the severe group than that in the mild group (91.82%±10.38% vs. 98.92%±12.12%, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONSLung injury is a common extraintestinal complication of UC. According to the theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine that the lung and large intestine are related, both the lungs and large intestine should be treated simultaneously.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between the degree of cochlea endolymphatic hydrops(EH) and hearing loss and symptoms in patients with unilateral Meniere's disease. Methods Fifty seven patients with unilateral Meniere's patients were retrospectively quantitatively analyzed, which evaluated the correlation between the cochlea EH and hearing loss and symptoms. The affected ears in the experimental group(57 ears) and the asymptomatic ears in the control group(57 ears), were confirmed by bilateral intratympanic Gd-DTPA injection and 3D real IR MRI scan after 24 h. The maximum length of endolymph space and labyrinth chamber along the modiolus cochleae and their ratio which represented the endolymph space proportion of each turn(R1, the basal turn;R2, the middle turn;R3, the apical turn) were calculated. And the paired t test was used to compare the differences in EH degree between the experimental and control group;Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the cochlea EH degree and hearing loss and duration of symptoms. Results R1, R1 and R3 of ipsilateral cochlea were higher than normal cochlea(ipsilateral R1:0.354±0.097 vs. normal R1:0.185±0.031, P<0.01;ipsilateral R2:0.445 ± 0.098 vs. normal R2:0.201 ± 0.046, P<0.01;ipsilateral R3:0.467 ± 0.102 vs. normal R3:0.221 ± 0.053, P<0.01). A positive correlation was found between the degree of EH in each turn and high-frequency hearing loss(r=0.275, 0.281, 0.329, respectively;all P<0.05), whereas no correlation was found between the extent of EH and the time of vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss(P>0.05). In addition, there was a correlation between the degree of EH in the apical turn and low, medium, high-frequency hearing loss(r=0.271, 0.269, 0.329, respectively; all P<0.05). Conclusions The degree of cochlea EH in the basal and second turn showed great relevance with the high-frequency hearing loss, and the apical turn EH degree was relevant with the low, medium, high-frequency hearing loss, but there was no correlation between the EH degree of each turn, ages and symptoms.
