Objective To observe the application effect of the Iodophors hygro-gauze on tracheotomy wound dressing. Methods Fifty patients who underwent tracheotomy with Ⅲ incision, were chosen to be divided into the control group and the observation group with 25 in each group. With saline water cleaning incision and surrounding skin, then disinfection with 0.5% iodophors sanitizers tampon. The observation group applied 0.5% Iodophors hygro-gauze on the wound, the control group used vaseline oil yarn. 24 hours after sample inspection, again samples were sent for bacteria analysis, bacterial colonies number, pathogenic bacteria growth and local situation of wound were observed and analyzed. Results The first results upon disinfection showed that bacterial colonies number, pathogenic bacteria growth between the two groups had no difference. After 24 hours sampling showed that the colony count and pathogenic bacteria growth of the observation group was obviously less than the control group. Local wound infection of the observation group was lighter than the control group. Conclusions 0.5% Iodophors hydro-gauze applied for tracheotomy wound dressing can effectively kill various pathogenic microorganism, prevent secondary infection, and also can prevent and treat wound infection.

Objective To investigate the impacts of psychosocial interventions on the anxiety and depression among family members of patients with high-grade glioma. Methods Overall 156 patients with high-grade glioma were recruited and randomly distributed into intervention group and control group. The patients of control group received the conventional health education, while the patients of intervention group received the additional intensive psychological caring based on the participants′psychological status. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale ( SAS ) and the Self-rating Depression Scale ( SDS ) were used to assess their level of anxiety and depression. Results The level of anxiety and depression of participants in the intervention group was significantly lower than those in the control group according to SAS and SDS scores, the differences were statistically significant (P <0. 05). Conclusions The psychological interventions can decrease the level of anxiety and depression of the family members of patients with high-grade glioma, so as to provide patients with high quality of social and family support.

The satisfaction rate of nursing students who did not understand the contents of the questionnaire and studied again was 98.19%, and the teachers' satisfaction rate of automatic marking of Sojump test was 100%. Conclusion:Sojump is easily and efficiently operational, paperless, targeted teaching, which can promote teaching by evaluation, and reach high satisfaction of nursing students and teachers, worthy of promotion in clinical teaching.

Objective:To investigate the hemostatic effect of epinephrine saline rinse solution in cleft palate repair.Methods:A total of 100 children who underwent cleft palate repair in the operating room of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from 2018 to 2020 were selected, Among them, 51 were males and 49 females, aged from 6 months to 12 years, with an average (2.5±2.49) years. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether to use epinephrine saline flushing fluid: in group A, 43 cases were treated with adrenaline saline irrigation solution to wash the incision during the operation; gauze soaked in rinse solution was used to fill the oral cavity before endotracheal intubation and extubation after operation; in B group of 57 cases, no intraoperative rinses were used. The intraoperative blood loss and operation duration were compared between the two groups.Results:Intraoperative use in group A after adrenaline saline rinses showed that the intraoperative blood loss of children (16.23±4.88) ml was significantly lower than that of group B (19.26±4.13) ml. The duration of operation in group A (109.79±40.27) min was significantly shorter than that in group B (137.16±50.47) min, The difference was statistically significant ( t=2.92, P<0.05). Conclusions:The incision is rinsed with epinephrine saline solution during cleft palate repair. In addition, before endotracheal intubation and extubation after operation, gauze soaked in rinsing solution is used to fill the oral cavity, which could significantly reduce the amount of bleeding and shorten the operation time.

Objective To investigate the related factors for the survival of the patients with pancreatic cancer.Methods A total of 1 620 patients confirmed as pancreatic cancer admitted in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital affiliated with Sun Yat-sen University,Tumor prevention and treatment center affiliated with Sun Yat-sen University and People's Hospital of Guangdong Province from 2004 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed,and the effects of TNM staging,surgical treatment,palliative chemotherapy and postoperative assisted chemotherapy on the survival of the patients with pancreatic cancer were examined by life table and Log-rank test.Results The median survival time of all 1 620 cases was 7.15 months.The median survival time of TNM stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ was 12.50 months,10.12 months,9.56 months and 5.43 months,and there was statistically significant difference (P =0.001).The median survival time of cases who did not undergo surgery was 6.10 months,which of patients who underwent radical surgery was 13.67 months,and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001).The median survival time of cases without chemotherapy was 5.55 months,which of patients who underwent palliative chemotherapy was 7.58 months,and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001).The median survival time of cases with pure radical surgery without chemotherapy was 12.38 months,which of patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy was 14.50 months,and the difference was no statistically significant (P =0.561).Conclusions Early diagnosis followed closely by radical surgery is the key to prolong the survival of pancreatic cancer patients.And adjuvant chemotherapy for patients who lose surgery opportunity may improve clinical prognosis to a certain extent.

OBJECTIVES: Genetic mutation is one of the important causes for tumor genesis and development, but genetic mutation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has rarely been reported. This study explored the role of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase-protein kinase B (PI3K-Akt), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway in the efficacy and prognosis in patients with NPC. METHODS: A total of 31 patients with advanced NPC, who came from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine of Central South University/Hunan Provincial Cancer Hospital, were enrolled. All of the exons of 288 genes, introns of 38 genes and promoters or fusion breakpoint regions from the nasopharyngeal biopsy tissues before treatment were detected by the gene sequencing platform Illumina NextSeq CN500. The coding regions of 728 genes were carried out a high-depth sequencing of target region capture, and the 4 variant types of tumor genes (including point mutations, insertion deletions of small fragments, copy number variations, and currently known fusion genes) were detected. All of 31 patients received platinum-based induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and were followed up for a long time. RESULTS: The 3-year regional failure-free survival (RFFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with PI3K-Akt pathway mutation were significantly lower than those in unmutated patients (χ²=6.647, P<0.05). The 3-year RFFS and DFS in patients with mTOR pathway mutations were significantly lower than those in unmutated patients, and there was significant difference (χ²=5.570, P<0.05). The rate of complete response (CR) in patients with unmutated AMPK pathway was significantly higher than that in patients with mutation at 3 months after treatment (P<0.05), and the 3-year RFFS and DFS in patients with AMPK pathway mutation were significantly lower than those in unmutated patients (χ²=4.553, P<0.05). PI3K-Akt/mTOR/AMPK signaling pathway mutations and pre-treatment EB virus DNA copy numbers were independent prognostic factors for 3-year RFFS and DFS in patients with NPC (both P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The NPC patients with PI3K-Akt/mTOR/AMPK signaling pathway mutation have poor prognosis, and the detection of PI3K-Akt, mTOR, AMPK driver genes and signaling pathways by next-generation sequencing is expected to provide new idea for basic research and targeted therapy of NPC.
