Objective:To explore the application effect of integrated Chinese and Western medicine nursing based on the individual and family self-management theory (IFSMT) in patients with urinary incontinence after stroke, and provide reference for clinical nurses to effectively rehabilitate these patients.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. A total of 136 patients with urinary incontinence after stroke who were hospitalized in the Department of Encephalopathy of Shanxi Acupuncture and Moxibology Hospital from February 2022 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method. The subjects were divided into the control group and the experimental group with 68 cases in each group by random number table method. The control group received routine rehabilitation nursing, and the experimental group received integrated Chinese and western medicine nursing based on IFSMT on the basis of routine rehabilitation nursing. Urinary status, activities of daily living and quality of life of 2 groups were compared.Results:Ultimately, there were 68 cases were admitted in each group. In the control group, male 45 cases, female 23 cases, aged (62.35 ± 4.94) years old. In the experimental group, male 49 cases, female 19 cases, aged (61.94 ± 5.02) years old. There was no statistical significance in urinary status, activities of daily living and quality of life scores between the 2 groups before the intervention (all P>0.05). After the intervention, the average daily urination frequency of experimental group was (7.94 ± 1.08) times, which was lower than that of control group (9.88 ± 1.09) times; the average daily frequency of incontinence in the experimental group was (3.63 ± 1.65) times, lower than (5.03 ± 3.35)times in the control group; the average daily urine volume of experimental group was (107.34 ± 4.15) ml, higher than (89.62 ± 19.71) ml of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=10.46,3.09, -7.23, all P<0.05). The scores of activities of daily living in the experimental group was (60.44 ± 3.65) points, which were higher than (46.24 ± 3.29) points in the control group; the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire score of experimental group was (80.38 ± 4.65) points, which was higher than (64.62 ± 5.62) points of control group; Insomnia Severity Index-Short Form score of the experimental group was (10.94 ± 5.17) points, which was lower than (12.85 ± 4.30) points of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=23.85, -17.86, 2.34, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Integrated Chinese and western medicine nursing intervention based on IFSMT has a positive effect on patients with urinary incontinence after stroke, and can significantly improve patients' urination and daily living activities, thus improving patients' quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of anaplastic gangliogliomas (AGGs) and to determine whether these tumors represent a distinct entity.Methods:Consecutive 667 cases of ganglioglioma (GG) diagnosed at the Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China between January 2015 and July 2023 were screened. Among these cases, 9 pathologically confirmed AGG cases were identified. Their clinical, radiological, treatment, and outcome data were analyzed retrospectively. Most of the tumor samples were subject to next-generation sequencing, while a subset of them were subject to DNA methylation profiling.Results:Among the 9 patients, there were five males and four females, with a median age of 8 years. Epileptic seizures (5/9) were the most frequently presented symptom. Radiological examinations showed three types of radiological manifestations: four cases showed abnormal MRI signals with no significant mass effects and mild enhancement; two cases demonstrated a mixed solid-cystic density lesion with peritumoral edema, which showed significant heterogeneous enhancement and obvious mass effects, and one case displayed cystic cavity formation with nodules on MRI, which showed evident enhancements. All cases exhibited mutations that were predicted to activate the MAP kinase signaling pathway, including seven with BRAF p.V600E mutation and two with NF1 mutation. Five AGGs with mutations involving the MAP kinase signaling pathway also had concurrent mutations, including three with CDKN2A homozygous deletion, one with a TERT promoter mutation, one with a H3F3A mutation, and one with a PTEN mutation.Conclusions:AGG exhibits a distinct spectrum of pathology, genetic mutations and clinical behaviors, differing from GG. Given these characteristics suggest that AGG may be a distinct tumor type, further expansion of the case series is needed. Therefore, a comprehensive integration of clinical, histological, and molecular analyses is required to correctly diagnose AGG. It will also help guide treatments and prognostication.
