Objective To discuss the risk factors and nursing intervention of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in patients of traditional Chinese medicine hospital (TCM). Methods By investigating the patients admitted to Beijing Xuan Wu Hospital of Traditional Chinese medicine from June 2015 to June 2016, 756 patients of them who were confirmed with clinical diagnosis of infection and pathogen detection with positive, which were divided into MDRO group including 97cases and non-MDRO group including 659 cases, then the pathogens of MRDO infection species and distributionwere counted, and analyzed risk factors for infection. Results A total of 756 cases were detected positive strains 816 strains, including 611 strains of monitoring target strains, 116 strains of MRDO. The top three were methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aurous 30.17%(35/116), Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18.97% (22/116) and Klebsiella pneumonia 18.10% (21/116). Single factor analysis results showed that the patients' age, hospitalization days, the history of other hospital admission, invasive procedure, basic chronic disease (diabetes, cerebrovascular disease, lung disease) and combined use of antibiotics were MDRO infection risk factors (χ2=9.470-198.609, P < 0.01); multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors of MDRO infection were the history of other hospital admission (OR=2.085, 95%CI1.040-4.179), invasive procedure (OR=3.063,95% CI1.526- 6.150), diabetes (OR=2.037,95% CI1.070- 3.877), cerebrovascular disease (OR=4.349,95%CI 2.035-9.293)and combined use of antibiotics (OR=18.723,95% CI9.202-38.094). Conclusions Patients of TCM have many characteristics, such as with more basic diseases, longer length of stay, elder and so on. So we should be alert to the risk of MDRO infection and take nursing interventions to prevent and strengthen the isolation prevention.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical performance of anti-peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PAD2) and anti-PAD4 antibodies combined testing in a Chinese rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cohort.Methods:A total of 148 RA inpatients and 35 patients with non-RA arthritis as controls (DC) were recruited from November, 2018 to November, 2019 in Peking University People′s Hospital. In addition, a total of 44 healthy controls (HC) who went to Peking University People′s Hospital for annual physical examination were collected from June 2019 to July 2019. The α-PAD2 and α-PAD4 level in clinical specimens were determined by ELISA. Statistical analysis was performed by the Mann-Whitney U test, the Kruskal-Wallis (KW) test, the χ 2 test or the Fisher′s Exact Test, as necessary. Correlation analysis were performed by logistic regression. Results:α-PAD2 and α-PAD4 were present in 26.4% (39/148) and 20.9% (31/148) patients with RA, 5.7% (2/35) and 5.7% DC (2/35) and 4.5% (2/44) and 2.3% HC (2/44), respectively. α-PAD4-positive RA patients displayed significantly longer disease duration compared to α-PAD4-negative RA patients (17.3±13.2 years vs 8.6±10.2 years, P<0.001). α-PAD4-positive RA patients showed a significantly higher incidence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) compared to those without α-PAD4 (54.8% vs 25.6%, P=0.002). No associations between α-PAD2 and ILD were found ( OR: 0.797, P=0.579). In contrast, significant associations between α-PAD4 and ILD were found ( OR: 3.521, P=0.002). In seropositive RA, α-PAD4 displayed a weak correlation with ILD ( OR: 2.324, P=0.046), but this association was greatly enhanced when combined with α-PAD2 [anti-PAD2 (-)] ( OR: 4.059, P=0.007). Conclusions:The findings delineate the clinical relevance of α-PAD2 and α-PAD4 in RA and suggest that the combined testing for α-PAD2 and α-PAD4 may provide additional diagnostic value to the current clinically available assays in RA, in particular in identifying patients at risk of RA-ILD.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 168 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2016 to December 2017 were collected. There were 96 males and 72 females, aged (64±13)years, with a range from 38 to 75 years. Of the 168 patients, 36 had pancreatic endocrine insufficiency while 8 had pancreatic exocrine insufficiency preoperatively. All patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Observation indications: (1) surgical situations and follow-up; (2) analysis of influencing factors for pancreatic endocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy; (3) analysis of influencing factors for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Follow-up using out-patient examination and telephone interview was performed to detect postoperative condition of blood glucose control, diet and nutrition, tumor recurrence and metastasis up to June 2018. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range), and comparison between groups was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the chi-square test. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Surgical situations and follow-up: all the 168 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy successfully and recovered well after operation. All patients were followed up for 6 months. The level of fasting and postprandial blood glucose of the 168 patients after surgery were 7 mmol/L(range, 5-9 mmol/L) and 10 mmol/L(range, 7-14 mmol/L), respectively. The defecation frequency was (2.4±1.2)times per day. No tumor recurrence or metastasis occurred in either patient. One hundred and thirty-two of the 168 patients were included in the study excepting patients with pancreatic endocrine insufficiency before operation. At postoperative 6 months, 47 patients developed pancreatic endocrine insufficiency, with an incidence of 35.61%(47/132). One hundred and sixty of the 168 patients were included in the study excepting patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency before operation. At postoperative 6 months, 68 patients had pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, with an incidence rate of 42.50%(68/160). (2) Analysis of influencing factors for pancreatic endocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results of univariate analysis showed that gender, metabolic syndrome, chronic pancreatitis, excision point, and postoperative chemotherapy were the related factors for pancreatic endocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( χ2=5.300, 6.270, 4.473, 4.392, 5.397, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis revealed that male and metabolic syndrome were independent risk factors for pancreatic endocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy [ hazard ratio ( HR)=5.252, 5.364, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.362-6.382, 1.891-12.592, P<0.05)]. (3) Analysis of risk factors for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results of univariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI), chronic pancreatitis, total bilirubin, excision point, postoperative pancreatic fistula as grade B or C, and pancreatic fibrosis were related factors for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( χ2=1.691, 4.910, 7.763, 5.605, 4.663, 7.700, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that BMI<18.5 kg/m 2, chronic pancreatitis, total bilirubin ≥171 μmol/L were independent risk factors for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( HR=3.695, 5.231, 7.623, 95% CI: 1.232-7.324, 2.161-6.893, 1.562-5.235, P<0.05). Conclusions:Male and metabolic syndrome are risk factors for pancreatic endocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy. BMI<18.5 kg/m 2, chronic pancreatitis, and total bilirubin ≥171 μmol/L are risk factors for pancreatic exocrine insufficiency after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective:To review our clinical experience on total pancreatectomy in treatment of pancreatic diseases.Methods:The clinical data of 25 patients with pancreatic diseases who underwent total pancreatectomy at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from February 2016 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The data on general information, surgical methods, postoperative complications, changes in postoperative pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions and quality of life were analyzed.Results:There were 16 males and 9 females, aged (60.9±9.4) years. Planned selective surgery was carried out in 16 patients while unplanned operations in 9 patients. There were 15 patients with pancreatic neoplasms with 4 patients who received neoadjuvant or conversion therapy, 6 patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, 3 patients with chronic pancreatitis and 1 patient with pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma. The total postoperative complication rate was 36% (9/25). One patient died in the perioperative period, and one patient underwent a second operation. After 6 months of operation, 2 of 24 patients had died. The remaining patients had a fasting blood sugar of (8.9±1.6) mmol/L, with an insulin dosage of (30.7±10.6) U/d. The average dosage of trypsin was (1.1±0.3) g/d. The quality of life score reached or exceeded the preoperative levels.Conclusions:Total pancreatectomy was safe and feasible for some pancreatic diseases. For patients with pancreatic cancer, its long-term oncological outcomes need further studies.

Objective To study mechanical properties of the anisotropy for pig trachea and main bronchi, and determine the constitutive model of trachea deformation by finite element numerical simulation. Methods The pig tracheas were collected and cut through in their axial directions and expanded into two-dimensional planes. Then, by setting the length direction of the trachea aortas as 0°, each planar trachea was anticlockwisely cut into 6 samples with orientation of 30°,60°,90°,120°,150° and 180°, respectively. Uniaxial tensile tests were applied on the specimen in 6 angular directions by using the electronic universal test machine, to obtain stress and strain of the specimen in different directions. Nonlinear fitting to the experimental data was performed by using the Mooney-Rivilin hyperelastic model, in order to obtain the material characteristic parameters. Finite element models of the trachea and the main bronchi were established, and tensile numerical simulation was carried out.Results Samples at different angles showed different stress-strain curves. In the trachea, the stresses of samples with angle of 30°, 120° and 150° were in the range of 1.0-1.5 MPa, the stresses of samples with angle of 60° and 90° were in the range of 0.5-1.0 MPa, and the stresses of samples with angle of 180° were in the range of 2.5-3.0 MPa. In the main bronchi, the stresses of samples with angle of 30°, 120° and 150° were in the range of 0.8-1.0 MPa, the stresses of samples with angle of 90° and 180° were in the range of 1.4-1.8 MPa, and the stresses of samples with angle of 120° were in the range of 0.4-0.6 MPa. There was an obvious difference between the trachea and the main bronchi. The finite element simulation verified that the Mooney-Rivilin constitutive model was suitable for describing small deformation behavior of the trachea. Conclusions The pig trachea exhibits strong anisotropy. Meanwhile, the Mooney-Rivilin model can characterize small tracheal deformations. The results provide theoretical references for tracheal resection and reconstruction in clinical treatment and intervention with surgical instruments such as bronchoscopy.

In order to study the effect of light with different wavelengths on the motion behavior of carp robots, phototaxis experiment, anatomical experiment, light control experiment and speed measurement experiment were carried out in this study. Blue, green, yellow and red light with different wavelength were used to conduct phototaxis experiments on carp to observe their movement behavior. By dissecting the skull bones of the carp to determine the appropriate location to carry the light control device, we independently developed a light control carrying device which was suitable for any illumination intensity environment. The experiment of the light-controlled carp robots was carried out. The motion behavior of the carp robot was checked by using computer binocular stereo vision technology. The motion trajectory of the carp robot was tracked and obtained by applying kernel correlation filter (KCF) algorithm. The motion velocity of the carp robot at different wavelengths was calculated according to their motion trajectory. The results showed that carps' sensitivity to different light changed from strong to weak in the order of blue, red, yellow and green, so that using light with different wavelengths to control the speed of the carp robot has certain laws to follow. A new method to avoid brain damage in carp robots control can be provided in this study.
