Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of altitude sickness combined with urinary retention. Methods 30 cases of altitude sickness combined with urinary retention were treated from April 16th to 26th,2010.They were all male,The average age of them was 24 years (range,19 -38).All were the first time entering the high altitude area (3600 -5000 m) from low altitude area (600 - 1800 m ).The urinary frequency of 25 patients reduced from 8 to 10 times/d to 2 to 4 times/d,the urine output reduced from the 1500- 2400 ml/d to 600- 800 ml/d; the other 5 patients had no urine in 12 -18 h,even had no sense to urinate.26 patients also combined with altitude pulmonary edema and 4 combined with altitude cerebral edema.30 patients had double renal columns enlarged,21 cases had urinary protein ( + ~ ++ ). Results 30 patients were exported urine 300 -600 ml within 10 min,leaded to urine 1800 -2300ml in 12 h,returned to normal voiding after catheter removal in 18 -24 h. After comprehensive treatment such as oxygen,dehydration,diuretic,sedative,antispasmodic and anti-infection,22 cases who with chest tightness,shortness of breath,dyspnea,hemoptysis foam sputum,headache,vomiting and other symptoms of jet-like improved apparently after hospital admission within 1 hour.Their heart rate downed from 90 - 145beats/min to 68 -92 beats/min,respiration from 28 -45 times/min to 18 - 28 times/min,oxygen saturation from 48% - 84% to 92% - 100% ; 8 cases who with shortness of breath,palpitation and headache improved not obviously.After the antihypertensive treatment,their blood pressure was still high (systolic blood pressure 150 - 180 mm Hg,diastolic blood pressure 90 -110 mm Hg),oxygen saturation between 78% to 87%,so they were carried to rear area for further treatment.30 cases were all cured no death. Conclusions The high altitude urinary retention is reversible disease,which is often associated with high altitude pulmonary edema,altitude cerebral edema,acute subclinical renal dysfunction and gastrointestinal disorders.They are easily being induced by elements such as gastroenteritis,lung infection,tonsillitis,periodontitis,tiredness and so on; low atmospheric pressure,hypoxia and high altitude is the possible cause; the ratio of missed diagnosis is high; the treatment of oxygen and indwelling catheterization is better; The best method of prevention is to wear pressurized suits and adapt the environment in a ladder-step gradual way.

Objective To discuss the influence of hierarchical management mode on psychological empowerment and innovation behavior of nurses in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods From April 2016 to April 2017, hierarchical management mode was applied among 41 ICU nurses in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital for 12 months. The levels of psychological empowerment and innovation behavior were compared before intervention, on the 6th and the 12th month after intervention. Results Before the intervention, the score of the psychological empowerment was (3.07±0.46), which was at a middle level. Meanwhile, the score of innovation behavior was (2.91±0.40), which was at a low level. With the implementation of hierarchical management mode, the differences in the scores of each dimension and the total score of psychological empowerment were statistically significant (F=11.463, 27.192, 13.700, 36.609, 45.733;P<0.001). The differences in the scores of each dimension and the total score of innovation behavior were statistically significant (F=43.149, 106.489, 21.836, 80.586;P< 0.001). Conclusions ICU nurses' psychological empowerment is at a moderate level, and individual innovative behavior is at a weak level. Hierarchical management mode helps to improve ICU nurses' psychological empowerment and personal innovative behavior level.

Objective:To investigate the value and molecular mechanism of gastric cancer stem cells in invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer.Methods:Gastric cancer stem cells were isolated by spheroid culture method, and the biological characteristics were identified. The role of gastric cancer stem cells in multidrug resistance, invasion and metastasis was analyzed. The important molecules involved in the biological behavior of gastric cancer stem cells were identified by gene chip. Screening of the signaling pathway revealed that anthrax toxin receptor 2 (ANTXR2)plays an important role in invasion, metastasis, glomerization and tumor formation.Results:Sox2 and Bmi1 expression in SGC7901 and MGC803 cells were significantly higher than monolayer culture cells (15.39±3.23). Oct4 express increased to (4.19±0.62). The expression levels of the dry-related genes Bmi1, Sox2 and Oct4 in SGC7901-SC cells were (3.29±0.52), (3.12±0.49), (2.58±0.35), respectively, which were higher than those of SGC7901-MN cells, Bmi1, Sox2 and Oct4, respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( t=5.392, 7.316, 6.449, all P<0.05) for (1.41±0.39), (2.04±0.33), (1.39±0.32); in primary cells XN0422-SC and in SGC7901-SC cells, miR-638 was in high expression (0.69±0.11), and miR-181b and miR-181a in low expression (0.12±0.05) and (0.15±0.07). ANTXR2 expression in SGC7901-SC cells was higher than that in SGC7901-MN cells ( t=6.216, P<0.05). The ANTXR2 positive cells in SGC7901-SC was 85.48%. The proportion of ANTXR2 positive cells in SGC7901 was 4.98%. Gastric cancer cells XN0422 and SGC7901 were affected by PLVT713, and ANTXR2 expression protein decreased. Conclusion:ANTXR effects a regulatory role by activating the Src/ERk signaling pathway, which can be used to predict the biological beharious of gastric cancer.

Objective:To explore the types of pre-diagnosis symptom clusters in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and identify bridge symptoms between symptom clusters.Methods:From May to October 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 243 ACS patients who visited Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital as participants. The General Information Questionnaire and Chinese version of the McSweeney Acute and Prodromal Myocardial Infarction Symptoms Survey were used for the survey. Exploratory factors were used to analyze symptom clusters, while network analysis was used to identify bridge symptoms between symptom clusters. A total of 243 questionnaires were distributed, and 230 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 94.7% (230/243) .Results:Before diagnosis, ACS patients had four symptom clusters, namely typical chest symptom cluster, typical shoulder and back symptom cluster, fatigue related symptom cluster, and cardiopulmonary symptom cluster. In symptom network analysis, fatigue and anxiety were bridge symptoms between symptom clusters, with fatigue having the highest expected impact coefficient ( rbei=0.387 3), followed by close centrality ( rbc=0.024 2). The bridge mediation ( rbb=35.000) and close centrality ( rbc=0.024 8) of anxiety were the highest. Conclusions:Fatigue and anxiety are bridge symptoms in ACS patients, connecting different symptom clusters. Identifying bridge symptoms is beneficial for improving the efficiency and accuracy of symptom management. Research needs to consider patient heterogeneity and conduct subgroup studies on symptom clusters to further explore the practical significance of core and bridge symptoms in clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the clinical and genetic characteristics of ten Chinese pedigrees affected with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome.Methods:From December 2017 to January 2022, ten pedigrees diagnosed with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled as the study subjects. Clinical data of all subjects were collected, and some had subjected to copy number variation sequencing or single nucleotide polymorphism array to analyze the pattern of inheritance.Results:The probands had included six fetuses and four adolescents. Four of the six prenatal cases showed abnormal ultrasound indicators, including three with soft indicators and one with abnomal feta structural development. The clinical phenotype of the four adolescent cases had included mental retardation, delayed language development, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The size of the copy number variations had ranged from 1.31 to 1.42 Mb, involving the classic region of 7q11.23 duplication syndrome. Of these, five cases had undergone parental origin testing, three cases were de novo, and two were hereditary. Conclusion:Individuals with 7q11.23 duplication syndrome may show substantial clinical phenotypic heterogeneity, hence the affected families should be provided with pre-pregnancy consultation and reproductive guidance.
