Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Cyberknife in the treatment of elderly patients(aged≥75 years)with early stage non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and to compare the results with those of patients aged<75 years.Methods We retrospectively analyzed 75 patients with early(T1-2N0M0)NSCLC admitted to the 960th Hospital of Jinan People's Liberation Army from January 2013 to October 2019.There were 32(42.7%)patients aged<75 years,and 43(57.3%)patients aged≥75 years.All patients were treated with 45-66Gy/3-8F,60%-85%isodose line as the prescription dose to cover planning target volume(PTV),and irradiation once a day and five times a week.The clinical efficacy,survival status and radiotherapy toxicity of the two groups were compared,and the factors affecting the efficacy of elderly patients were analyzed.Results The disease control rates of patients aged<75 and≥75 years were 96.9%and 93.0%,respectively(P>0.05).The 5-year local control rate(LC),progression-free survival(PFS)and cancer-specific survival(CSS)were 70.9%and 85.4%,58.5%and 54.4%,and 70.4%and 64.5%,respectively(P>0.05).However,the overall survival(OS)of patients aged≥75 years was significantly lower than that of patients aged<75 years,and the 5-year OS was 49.2%and 68.2%,respectively(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the treatment complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that biologic effective dose(BED)was an independent factor affecting OS in patients aged≥75 years.Conclusion Stereotactic body radiotherapy with cyberknife is a safe and effective treatment for elderly patients with early stage NSCLC who are not suitable for surgery.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMZ) combined with caspofungin for the treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)patients with moderate to severe pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) requiring mechanical ventilation.Methods:The clinical data of AIDS patients who admitted to Chongqing Public Health Medical Center from March 1, 2019 to March 1, 2021 with moderate to severe PCP requiring mechanical ventilation were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared between two groups receiving either combination therapy with TMP/SMZ and caspofungin (combination therapy group) or TMP/SMZ monotherapy (monotherapy group). The patients were divided into two subgroups according to the baseline arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), patients with arterial PaO 2≥50 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and PaO 2 <50 mmHg. The clinical efficacies of combination therapy and monotherapy in each subgroup were further compared. Chi-square and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. The three-month survival was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the three-month survival rates were compared by Log-rank method. Results:A total of 83 patients were enrolled, including 23 in the monotherapy group and 60 in the combination therapy group. There was no significant difference in all-cause hospital mortalities between these two groups (34.8%(8/23) vs 23.3%(14/60), χ2=1.12, P=0.290). Kaplan-Meier survival curves indicated no significant difference in the three-month survival rates between the two groups ( χ2=0.51, P=0.477). There ware no significant differences observed in the positive clinical response rates and the mechanical ventilation rates after seven days of anti-PCP treatment between the two groups ( χ2=0.02 and 0.01, respectively, both P>0.05). In the 52 patients with PaO 2≥50 mmHg, no significant difference in all-cause hospital mortalities was observed between the monotherapy group and the combination therapy group (2/13 vs 25.6%(10/39), χ2=0.14, P=0.704). There was no statistical significance in the three-month survival rates between the two groups ( χ2=0.69, P=0.407). No significant difference was observed either in the clinical positive response rates or the mechanical ventilation rates after seven days of anti-PCP treatment between the two group( χ2=1.02 and 0.69, respectively, both P>0.05). In the 31 patients with PaO 2<50 mmHg, the all-cause hospital mortality in the combination therapy group was 19.0%(4/21), while six of the 10 patients in the monotherapy group died, and the difference was statistically significant (Fisher exact test, P=0.040). The three-month survival rate in the combination therapy group was significantly higher than that in the monotherapy group ( χ2=4.09, P=0.043). There were no significant differences in clinical positive response rate and the mechanical ventilation rate after seven days of anti-PCP treatment between the two group (Fisher exact test, both P>0.05). The overall adverse event rate in the monotherapy group was 87.0%(20/23), with an incidence of 56.5%(13/23) for both electrolyte disturbances and bone marrow suppression. The above incidences in the combination therapy group were 78.3%(47/60), 35.0%(21/60) and 53.3%(32/60), respectively, and all differences were not statistically significant ( χ2=0.34, 3.18 and 0.07, respectively, all P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy of combination therapy with TMP/SMZ and caspofungin is comparable to that of TMP/SMZ monotherapy in AIDS patients with moderate to severe PCP requiring mechanical ventilation. However, in AIDS patients with PCP requiring mechanical ventilation with the baseline PaO 2<50 mmHg, the efficacy of combination therapy is statistically superior to that of TMP/SMZ monotherapy. Combination therapy does not increase the risk of adverse events.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to severe multiple trauma and the role of clinical guidance.Methods:The clinical data of 115 patients with severe multiple trauma admitted to the trauma center of Zhenjiang First People's Hospital from December 2017 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether ARDS occurred within 1 week of the disease course, the patients were divided into ARDS group and non-ARDS group. The basic post-traumatic data, initial treatment measures (within 24 hours), pathophysiology, stress metabolism, and post-traumatic complications of the two groups of patients were selected for univariate analysis, the statistically different indicators of univariate analysis were incorporated into the multivariate Logistic regression analysis to screen out independent high-risk factors that affect the occurrence of ARDS in patients with severe multiple trauma, and a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze the effects of each risk factor on the occurrence of ARDS.Results:Among 115 patients, there were 45 casesin the ARDS group and 70 cases in the non-ARDS group. Compared with the non-ARDS group, the patients in the ARDS group were older (years: 57.45±15.37 vs. 45.68±12.70), and the proportion of patients combined with moderate-severe chest trauma, traumatic brain injury (TBI), shock, and massive blood transfusion were higher (71.11% vs. 31.43%, 44.44% vs. 28.57%, 80.00% vs. 67.14%, 46.67% vs. 27.14%). In the ARDS group, procalcitonin [PCT (μg/L):29.73±6.08 vs. 12.45±2.12], thrombomodulin [TM (ng/L): 83.43±16.34 vs. 37.66±14.64], blood glucose (mmol/L:17.2±5.0 vs. 10.3±2.4), triacylglycerol [TG (mmol/L): 3.77±0.57 vs. 2.22±0.63], interleukin-6 [IL-6 (ng/L):38.97±10.79 vs. 25.98±5.40], tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α (ng/L): 48.78±13.99 vs. 35.30±13.03], intra-abdominal pressure [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 25.21±3.59 vs. 11.98±4.91], serum creatinine [SCr (μmol/L):180.45±42.35 vs. 132.17±49.36] and blood urea nitrogen [BUN (mmol/L): 13.83±4.97 vs. 8.80±4.32] were significantly higher than those in the non-ARDS group; the proportion of patients with crystal infusion volume ≥ 3 000 mL(26.67% vs. 34.29%) and platelet count [PLT (×10 9/L): 72.67±7.96 vs. 127.99±17.65] and the levels of plasma glutathione peroxidase [GSH-Px (kU/L): 87.15±27.81 vs. 161.15±17.94], plasma superoxide dismutase [SOD (kU/L):92.65±32.67 vs. 125.58±38.96] were significantly lower than those in the non-ARDS group, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that 11 indicators such as age, combined moderate-severe chest trauma, combined TBI, massive blood transfusion, PCT, TM, blood glucose, TNF-α, plasma GSH-Px, intra-abdominal pressure and SCr were independent risk factors that could predict ARDS secondary to severe multiple trauma, the odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 1.201 (1.035-1.165), 3.414 (1.217-8.876), 2.889 (1.124-8.109), 3.134 (1.322-9.261), 1.467 (1.096-2.307), 2.428 (0.024-0.973), 5.787 (1.246-9.642), 1.106 (0.949-5.108), 7.450 (1.587-10.261), 3.144 (1.217-8.876), 1.051 (1.002-1.542) respectively, the P valueswere 0.008, 0.024, 0.044, 0.017, 0.018, 0.045, 0.026, 0.037, 0.005, 0.029, 0.033 respectively. ROC curve analysis showed that plasma GSH-Px had a higher predictive value for ARDS secondary to severe multiple trauma, the area underROC curve (AUC) = 0.873, 95% CI was 0.798-0.928, P = 0.000, when the best cut-off value at 72.22 kU/L, its sensitivitywas 86.7%, specificity was 75.7%, positive predictive value was 69.6%, and negative predictive value was 89.8%. The Logistic regression model established by 11 independent high-risk factors had an accuracy rate of 81.74% in predicting ARDS secondary to severe multiple trauma, which had a good guiding significance for predicting ARDS. Conclusion:Our study showed that there are many risk factors for ARDS secondary to severe multiple trauma, involvingbasic post-traumatic data, initial treatment measures, pathophysiology, stress metabolism, post-traumatic complications, etc. Early identification and intervention may be beneficial to improve the success rate of treatment for such patients.

ObjectiveTo establish a hospice care training system for nurses in general hospitals and evaluate its implementation effects, and to explore a new path for hospice care education. MethodsThe nurses from 7 clinical departments in the First Affiliated Hospital of He＇nan University of Chinese Medicine from September 2017 to June 2018 were selected by convenience sampling with 24 nurses from each department and randomly divided into the general training group (12 for every department) and in-depth training group (12 for every department). Based on the classic education theory, the nurse hospice care training system for general hospital was established from five aspects including goal, content, method, management and teachers in the in-depth training group and the general training group received the training according to hospice care nursing plan implementation rules of the First Affiliated Hospital of He＇nan University of Chinese Medicine. The two groups were compared in terms of the training effects. ResultsAfter training, in the in-depth training group, the scores of theoretical assessment and skill assessment of hospice care of nurses in the 7 departments were all higher than those in general training group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜ 0.05). ConclusionsThe general hospital nurse hospice care training system can effectively improve the employees＇knowledge reserve and skills level of hospice care; the strengthening of the construction of hospice care training system is important to guarantee the qualified hospice care nursing team building and to improve the quality of hospice care services.

Objective To discuss risk factors of catheter-related infection and coping strategies about power peripherally inserted central catheter ( POWER PICC) in patients with breast cancer, and to provide the evidence-based nursing basis for standard operational procedure of POWER PICC. Methods A total of 323 patients with breast cancer underwent chemotherapy by three directional valve PICC, and a total of 322 patients did by POWER PICC. Risk factors of catheter-related infection were analyzed by univariate analysis and logistic multiple regression analysis. Results The catheter-related infection rate of POWER group was higher than that of three directional valve group[11.49% (37/322) vs 5.26% (17/323);χ2=8.152,P<0.01]. Four risk factors of catheter-related infection in the POWER group were screened by univariate analysis, including material of catheter, position of puncture, treatment for wound surface and sort of connector. Unconditional multiple analysis was conducted, regarding bacterial colonization as dependent variable and other factors as independent variable. The result demonstrated that individual care strategy for PICC was the risk factor of catheter-related infection of POWER PICC. Conclusions Understanding of the property of POWER PICC material and applying individual care strategy to enhance advantage and avoid disadvantage can prevent catheter-related infection of POWER PICC effectively.

Objective To study the distribution of surfactant protein A2 (SP-A2) haplotype and its association with preterm respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) susceptibility in a local Chinese cohort.Methods Using population base and case-control study cohorts,genotyping for four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) was performed,rs1059046,rs17886395,rs1965707,rs1965708,in 80 term infants,50 preterm infants with RDS (RDS group) and 50 preterm infants without RDS(control group) by using TaqMan (R) real-time polymerase chain reaction.Infants in RDS group and control group were matched according to gender and gestational age.Frequency of each haplotype was compared between preterm infants with RDS and without RDS,term infants and preterm infants without RDS.Results Most common haplotypes in term infants were 1A0,1A5,1A1.In each preterm infants groups with RDS and without RDS,1A0,1 A5,1 A1 were also the most common haplotypes.Among these three common haplotypes,frequency of 1A0 was lower in preterm infants,including RDS group and control group,than that in term infants.No significant difference was found between preterm groups with RDS and without RDS (P ＞ 0.05),neither in preterm infants with gestational age ≥32 or ＜ 32 weeks.Haplotype 1A0 frequency(0.542) in term infants was significantly higher than that in preterm infants ＜ 32 weeks without RDS (0.329) (x2 =6.06,P =0.01).Conclusions SP-A2 haplotype distribution in a local Chinese population shows ethnic characteristics to some extent.Only SP-A2 does not contribute to the susceptibility for preterm RDS.

Objective To determine the prevalence of and correlations between HIV infection and syphilis among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Beijing.Methods Totally,600 MSM collected from sentinel surveillance sites for AIDS in Beijing were recruited in this study,and underwent screening tests for HIV infection and syphilis.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used for the primary screening for HIV infection,and Western blot for its confirmation.Both nontreponemal test (rapid plasma regain (RPR) assay) and treponemal test (Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay,TPPA) were performed to detect syphilis,and only those with a reactive TPPA result were defined as having syphilis (including past infection).Specimens confirmed as HIV-1 positive were further tested with BED-capture enzyme immunoassay (CEIA) to find recent HIV-1 infection,and the incidence of HIV infection was then calculated.The correlation between syphilis and HIV infection was statistically analyzed.Results Of the 600 MSM,49 (8.17％) had HIV infection,including 14 cases of recent infection,with the incidence rate of HIV infection being 4.68％; 51 were positive for both RPR and TPPA tests with the infection rate (including past infection) being 18.5％ (111/600).People without a Beijing household registration and those with high education levels accounted for a large proportion of HIV-infected MSM.Conclusions The prevalence and incidence of HIV infection as well as prevalence of syphilis maintain at a relatively high level in MSM in Beijing.HIV infection is markedly correlated with syphilis in MSM population.

Objective To observe the changes of lung function before and after radiotherapy with the lung perfusion of single-photon emission computed tomography and compare the difference between radiotherapy plans conducted by functional imagines and anatomical imagines in radiotherapy of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.Methods A total of 36 patients (26 males and 10 females,aged 36-80 years) with lung cancer diagnosed as stage Ⅰ to stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer confirmed by histological proof were selected.The lung perfusion image was delivered to radiotherapy planning system and the two plan (plan1 and plan 2) were made by lung perfusion image fusion.Plan 1 was only based on the anatomical informations and no lung perfusion images of SPECT considering.Plan 2 was optimized based on the lung perfusion image to reduce the irradiation dose of the normal tissues.The differences of protecting lung function between plan 1 and plan 2 were compared.Results 36 patients were stratified for clinical stage.FV10,fV20,fV30,MLD and PTV90/fV20 were decreased significantly after optimized with IMRT (all P =0.000).FV20,fMLD were decreased by (4.89±2.0) ％,(1.74 ±0.9)％.The IMRT plan based on the lung perfusion fusion images of SPECT could reduce the irradiation dose of normal lung tissues and the incidence of radiation pneumonitis.Conclusions Radionuclide pulmonary perfusion imaging can assess effectively the effect of tumor to regional pulmonary artery perfusion function before radiotherapy and reduce the irradiation dose of normal lung tissue in lung cancer patients undergoing IMRT.

Objective To investigate the immunization effect of influenza A/H1N1 vaccine in health care workers (HCW) in Inner Mongolia Greater Khingan Mountains area. Methods Five hundred and five HCW who received A/H1N1 influenza vaccination (immunized group) and 129 staffs who didn't receive the vaccination (unimmunized group) were randomly sampled for semiquantitative testing of serum H1N1 antibody (IgG) levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results were analyzed and stratified by age, sex, occupation and the time interval between the time of vaccination and serum sample collection. The antibody positive rates of the two groups were compared by x2test. Results There were 401 (79. 4%) HCW whose H1N1 antibody were positive and 50 (9.9%) whose antibody were weak positive among 505 immunized HCW. While among 129 unimmunized HCW, there were 59 (45.7%) whose antibody were positive and 15 (11.6%) whose antibody were weak positive. The seroconversion rates of specific antibody were not significantly different among the different age groups after receiving A/H1N1 influenza vaccine (P＞ 0.05).However, there were statistical differences of the seroconversion rates among different sex groups (men 95.7% vs women 87.4% in immunized group, x2=6.40, P＜0.05; and men 73.3% vs women 52.5% in unimmunized group, x2 =4.07, P＜0.05) and different occupation groups (doctor 86.0% vs nurse 94.5% in immunized group, x2 = 9. 16, P＜0.01; and doctor 43. 8% vs nurse 75.0% in unimmunized group, x2=12.61, P＜0.01 ). The seroconversion rate was 81.5% after 80 to 89 days of vaccination, which was significantly lower than those after 30 to 39, 50 to 59 days and 60 to 69 days of vaccination, which was 100.0%, 94.7% and 93.6%, respectively (x2 =3.96, P ＜0.05; x2=7.15, P ＜0. 01; x2 = 9. 98, P＜0. 01). Conclusions A/H1N1 influenza vaccination can induce effective immune response in HCW in Greater Khingan Mountains area of Inner Mongolia. However,the level of specific antibody significantly reduces after 80 to 89 days of vaccination.
