Objective To explore the nutritional status of radical gastrectomy patients during the late course of chemotherapy and its main influencing factors, providing reference for the development of targeted nursing intervention. Methods The Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, The Chemotherapy Side Effects of Patients with Gastric Cancer Questionnaire were used to collect clinical data that received complete chemotherapy after radical surgery from September 2014 to March 2016. Results A total of 103 cases finally involved in this study. The incidence of malnutrition in patients during pre-chemotherapy and late course of chemotherapy was 45.63%(47/103) and 73.79%(76/103) respectively, and there was significant difference (χ2=16.97, P<0.05). The nutritional assessment score, the hemoglobin levels and body mass index of patients pre-chemotherapy was (3.64±0.78) points, (124.11± 21.78) g/L, (21.29±2.77) kg/m2 , (8.07±3.75) points, (108.54±11.68) g/L, (20.29±2.68) kg/m2 late course of chemotherapy and there were significant differences(t =-11.74, 6.39, 2.63, all P<0.05). The symptom of depression was at a higher level 65.05%(67/103), patients with anorexia in late course of chemotherapy accounted as much as 75.73%(78/103). Logistic regression analysis showed that educational level, loss of appetite and parenteral nutrition were the main factors which influenced the nutritional status of patients during the late course of chemotherapy. Conclusions With the increase in the number of chemotherapy, the nutritional status of the patient is getting worse. The study suggests medical personnel should pay more attention to the patients with low educational level, give patients and their families targeted diet counseling, correct the mistaken conceptions thus enhance their understanding of dietary knowledge. Strengthening the management of complications during chemotherapy, reducing the adverse factors that affect the patient′s nutritional status to improve the nutritional status of patients.

Objective To investigate the nutritional status of patients with chemotherapy after radical gastrectomy and to provide dietary guidance and nutritional support for patients in time. Methods Patients who received chamotherary after radical gastrectomy inthe Gastrointestinal Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2014 to March 2016 were included in the study. The nutritional status was assessed by unified training investigators within 48 h after hospitalization. The questionnaires of Scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the Chemotherapy Side Effects of Patients with Gastric Cancer Questionnaire were used to investigatethe patients by trained investigators. Results The scores of the nutritional status of patients with different stages of chemotherapy were 6.107 ± 2.947, 6.505 ± 3.134, 8.068 ± 3.748, which was statistically significant (F=10.202, P<0.01). The incidence of anorexia was the highest rate of diet-related symptoms, the rate of early, mid-term and later chemotherapy rates were 34.95%(36/103), 56.31%(58/103), and 75.73%(78/103) respectively. Patients acquired the diet knowledge mainly from medical staff. The proportions of early, middle and later stages of chemotherapy were 92.23% (95/103), 79.61% (82/103), 75.73%(78/103). Conclusions With the increase of chemotherapy times, the nutritional status of patients with radical gastrectomy is getting worse. The results suggested that medical staff should provide an effective basis dietary guidance in time, improving the patients′nutritional status and clinical outcomes.

Objective To investigate and analyze the nutritional knowledge needs and cognitive level of the main family caregivers of patients with gastric cancer. Methods A total of 208 patients who underwent radical resection of gastric cancer and received complete chemotherapy at the Department of gastrointestinal surgery from September 2015 to February 2017 were selected.Each patient selected 1 family caregivers.A questionnaire survey was conducted among 208 family caregivers, including general information, nutritional knowledge needs questionnaire, nutrition knowledge, attitude and practice and so on. Results The total score of nutrition knowledge, attitude and practice among the family caregivers of patients with gastric cancer was (41.11 ± 9.33) points. The score of nutrition knowledge was (6.26 ± 1.87) points. The score of nutrition attitude was (15.45±4.75) points.The score of nutrition practice was (17.47± 4.45) points .There was a significant positive correlation between nutrition knowledge and attitude(r=0.88, P<0.05), knowledge and practice (r=0.766, P<0.01), attitude and practice (r=0.186, P<0.01) by using Pearson correlation.Family caregivers had a strong demand for nutrition knowledge. 37.5%(78/208) of family caregivers chose to cooperate with doctors and nurses to carry out nutrition knowledge. 51.4%(107/208) of family caregivers preferred bedside individualized guidance. Conclusions Family caregivers have a strong demand for nutrition knowledge,but the nutrition cognition level is poor. Health care providers should strengthen the education on patients and family caregivers' knowledge of nutrition, improve the nutrition knowledge level of caregivers and care ability.

Objective:To explore the risk factors for stone recurrence after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and to develop a risk prediction model.Methods:Clinical data of 344 patients with bile duct stones who underwent LCBDE combined with LC at Hebei General Hospital from January 2016 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including 165 males and 179 females, aged (62.72±13.56) years old. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether stones recurred during the follow-up period: recurrence group ( n=37) and non-recurrence group ( n=307). Clinical data such as common bile duct diameter, stone size, number of stones and duration of T-tube drainage were collected from the patients. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for postoperative stone recurrence, and then developed a logistic regression model. The predictive efficacy of the model was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Results:The results of multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that patients with ≥2 choledochal stones had a high risk of stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC ( OR=3.094, 95% CI: 1.069-8.954, P=0.037). In contrast, regular postoperative oral choleretic medication was a protective factor for stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC ( OR=0.160, 95% CI: 0.072-0.354, P=0.001). A logistic regression model, based on the number of common bile duct stones and regular postoperative oral choleretic medication, was developed to predict the recurrence of bile duct stones in patients who underwent LCBDE combined with LC. The area under the ROC curve for this model was found to be 0.821 (95% CI: 0.758-0.885). The Hosmer-Lemeshow test, χ 2=7.26, P=0.509, suggested that there is good agreement between the model's predicted probabilities and ideal probabilities. Conclusions:The number of stones (≥2) is an independent risk factor for stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC in patients with bile duct stones. Regular postoperative oral choleretic medication is a protective factor for stone recurrence after LCBDE combined with LC. Predictive models based on the number of choledochal stones and regular postoperative oral choleretic medication have better efficacy in predicting postoperative stone recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the precautions and clinical effects of minimally invasive lateral bone transfer of tibia in the treatment of diabetic foot.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 82 patients with diabetic foot admitted to the Trauma Department of Changzhou First People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2022. According to the Wagner grade of diabetic foot, there were 12 cases of grade 2, 50 cases of grade 3, and 20 cases of grade 4. According to the surgical method, 45 patients were divided into bone transfer group. There were 29 males and 16 females, with an average age of 65.27±10.74 years (ranging from 44-87 years), who underwent minimally invasive bone transfer of tibia combined with local debridement treatment. In the non-bone transfer group, there were 37 cases (26 males and 11 females) with an average age of 66.05±11.08 years (ranging from 44 to 86 years), who were treated with local debridement. Gender, age, Wagner grade, surface temperature difference of the affected limb, visual analogue scale (VAS) score of the affected limb before and 1 month after surgery, wound healing rate 1 month after surgery, and recurrence rate of the affected foot 1 year after surgery were compared between the two groups. Outcomes of the cases of different Wagner grades were compared.Result:All 82 patients were followed up for 14.23±1.20 months. There was no significant difference in gender, age, Wagner grade and preoperative VAS between the two groups ( P>0.05). The skin temperature of the affected limb before and after surgery in the bone transfer group was significantly higher than that in the non-bone transfer group 1.93±0.31 ℃ ( P<0.05), and the VAS of the bone transfer group was 2.18±0.58 points 1 month after surgery, which was lower than that in the non-bone transfer group of 5.41±0.93. The VAS difference before and after surgery in the bone transfer group was 4.80±1.24 points, which was greater than that in the non-bone transfer group of 1.62±1.48 points with significant difference ( P<0.05). The wound healing rate was over 98.78%±2.17% in the bone transfer group and 52.57%±6.41% in the non-bone transfer group one month after surgery. No recurrence or recurrence was found in the bone transfer group one year after surgery, and the recurrence rate was 86% (32/37) in the non-bone transfer group with significant difference ( P<0.05). There was no difference in preoperative VAS for different grades of diabetic foot (grades 2, 3, and 4). There were significant differences in VAS, VAS decrease, postoperative limb surface temperature increase, local wound healing rate at 1 month, and lower limb ulcer recurrence or recurrence rate at 12 months in the bone transfer groups of Wagner grade 2, 3, and 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive lateral bone transfer of tibia combined with local precision debridement could significantly increase the healing rate of diabetic foot ulcer, improve the peripheral microcirculation of the affected limb, reduce the pain of the affected limb, and decrease the recurrence rate of diabetic foot ulcer.

Background::Genetic variants of dopaminergic transcription factor-encoding genes are suggested to be Parkinson’s disease (PD) risk factors; however, no comprehensive analyses of these genes in patients with PD have been undertaken. Therefore, we aimed to genetically analyze 16 dopaminergic transcription factor genes in Chinese patients with PD.Methods::Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed using a Chinese cohort comprising 1917 unrelated patients with familial or sporadic early-onset PD and 1652 controls. Additionally, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed using another Chinese cohort comprising 1962 unrelated patients with sporadic late-onset PD and 1279 controls.Results::We detected 308 rare and 208 rare protein-altering variants in the WES and WGS cohorts, respectively. Gene-based association analyses of rare variants suggested that MSX1 is enriched in sporadic late-onset PD. However, the significance did not pass the Bonferroni correction. Meanwhile, 72 and 1730 common variants were found in the WES and WGS cohorts, respectively. Unfortunately, single-variant logistic association analyses did not identify significant associations between common variants and PD. Conclusions::Variants of 16 typical dopaminergic transcription factors might not be major genetic risk factors for PD in Chinese patients. However, we highlight the complexity of PD and the need for extensive research elucidating its etiology.
8.Analysis of pediatric flexible flatfoot screening and associated factors among children aged 7-8 in Changzhou City
Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(10):1471-1475
Objective:
To analyze the prevalence and related factors of pediatric flexible flatfoot (PFF) among 7-8 year old children in Changzhou, so as to provide a feasible basis for the prevention and treatment of PFF.
Methods:
From December 2023 to February 2024, a total of 1 685 children aged 7-8 from 10 primary schools in Changzhou were selected by stratified cluster random sampling method, and screened for PFF by using a foot optical assessment recording device. Information including sex, body mass index (BMI), diet, exercise and shoe wearing habits were collected. The valgus angle of the hindfoot was measured on the body surface by using an orthopedic measuring ruler in the standing position. Pain levels were evaluated by using visual analogue score (VAS) for children with flatfoot syndrome. Multivariate Logistic analysis was used to analyze related factors of PFF.
Results:
The overall detection rate of PFF was 27.4%, and there was a significant difference in the detection rate of PFF between boys and girls, with 30.3% and 24.1% respectively ( χ 2=7.96, P < 0.01 ). Most cases of PFF were mild flatfoot (60.8%) and bilateral ( 60.4% ). Approximately 13.2% of children with PFF had flatfoot syndrome, with a mean VAS of (2.86±0.73). About 56.1% of children with PFF had a normal valgus angle of the hindfoot. Sex, high BMI and preference for shoe last with front upturned shoe shape were positively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR= 1.74, 1.54, 1.13, P <0.05). After stratified by sex, regular exercise in boys and age in girls were negatively correlated with the detection of PFF ( OR=0.40, 0.64, P <0.05).
Conclusions
The detection rate of PFF in 7-8 year old children is high. Additionally, PFF combined with flatfoot syndrome or valgus hindfoot is relatively rare and is likely to be underestimated, which emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for PFF.

Objective:To investigate the one-stage surgical treatment method and short-term therapeutic effect for combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 79 patients with Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Traumatic Orthopedics in The Third Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from April 2016 to February 2021 and there were 47 males and 32 females with a mean age of 51.5±13.2 years (ranging from 21 to 73 years old). Combined with preoperative MRI manifestations, meniscus injuries and avulsion fractures of collateral ligament complex were all repaired in one stage, primary reconstruction was not performed for the combined substantive injury of ACL body, and the displaced avulsion fracture of ACL insertion was only reduced without separate fixation during open reduction and internal fixation for fractures. Visual analogue scale (VAS), knee flexion range of motion, and American Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Joint (HSS) scores were used to evaluate the treatment outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively and the last follow-up.Results:All 79 patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 23.6±2.2 months. The incidence of combined ACL injury was approximately 23% (18/79) with the main manifestation being intercondylar ridge avulsion fracture of ACL (10/18, 56%), which was more common in SchatzkerIV fractures (60%, 6/10). Postoperative KT-1000 measurements on the side-to-side difference in forward displacement of the healthy and affected knee joint showed no significant change in patients with ACL avulsion fracture and body injury, and there was no statistically significant difference compared to the normal range ( P>0.05). No statistically significant difference could be observed in postoperative VAS between ACL avulsion fracture, ACL body injury, and non-ACL injury groups ( P>0.05). At 3, 6, 12 months and the last follow-up after surgery, knee flexion range of motion in patients with intercondylar eminence avulsion fracture of ACL 99.7°±8.9°, 110.5°±10.3°, 120.9°±10.5°, and 121.5°±10.2° was lower than that in patients without ACL injury 106.5°±10.1°, 119.1°±9.8°, 128.3°±10.4°, and 128.3°±9.3°, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months after surgery, patients with intercondylar eminence avulsion fracture of ACL had lower HSS scores 72.7±5.3 and 80.4±4.6 points compared to those without ACL injury 76.3±4.1 and 83.6±4.5 points, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:During the surgical treatment of Schatzker IV-VI tibial plateau fractures, it is feasible to treat possible concomitant injuries such as meniscus on the basis of reduction and fixation of the fracture without reconstructing the ACL in one stage, and to treat displaced ACL intercondylar eminence avulsion fractures by correct reduction without separate fixation. This treatment method can achieve good short-term postoperative outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the theoretical knowledge level of clinical nurses engaged in enterostomy nursing in secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Henan Province, so as to provide the basis for departments to carry out specialized training and improve the quality of enterostomy special nursing.Methods:On the basis of literature review and expert letter consultation, enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses was formed, including the dimensions of enterostomy special nursing and patient health education. Using the convenient sampling method, clinical nurses who engaged in enterostomy-related nursing work in 39 secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from February to May 2019. The enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses was used to investigate enterostomy specialized knowledge of nurses, and their scores were analyzed by single factor analysis. In this study, a total of 420 tests were issued and 382 valid tests were effectively recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.95%.Results:The total score of the enterostomy knowledge test of 382 nurses was (65.80±13.84) , the total score of enterostomy special nursing dimension was (32.17±7.12) , and the total score of patient health education dimension was (33.64±7.66) . 62.83% (240/382) of nurses basically mastered the knowledge of enterostomy. In the enterostomy knowledge test for clinical nurses, the error rates of prevention and identification of complications, management of complications and clinical selection and application of stoma bag were relatively high. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of the enterostomy knowledge test among nurses of different hospital levels, highest educational background, technical title, working time limit and the time limit of engaging in enterostomy nursing work ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Professional nurses engaged in enterostomy nursing do not have a comprehensive grasp of enterostomy related knowledge, so the departments should pay more attention to special nursing training of enterostomy and improve overall level of enterostomy nursing in the department.
