Objective Using ROC curve to determine the best cut-off point of serum HE-4 in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer and provide important value to diagnosis early ovarian cancer.Methods The levels of serum HE-4 in 68 ovarian cancer pa-tients,42 ovarian benign tumor patients and 30 healthy female were detected by electrochemistry irradiance method.The ROC curve was drawn and the cut-off point of HE-4 was determined by statistical software.Results The levels of serum HE-4 were all non-normal distribution in the groups of ovarian cancer,ovarian benign tumor and healthy controls.Whats more,there was no significant difference between ovarian benign tumor group and normal control group.And compared with benign ovarian tumors and normal control group,the level of HE-4 in ovarian cancers was significantly increased (P <0.01).It would be best for diagnosis when the level of serum HE-4 was 108pmol/L in ovarian cancer.Youden’s index showed the maximum (0.713)and the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosing were 77.9% and 93.1% respectively.The positive predictive value was 91.4% and negative predictive value was 91.4%.At the same time,the positive likelihood ratio was 11.6 and the negative likelihood ratio was 0.2,odds ratio reached to 47.3.Conclusion The detection of HE-4 is an ideal mark for diagnosing and excluding ovarian cancer.Selecting 108 pmol/L as ovarian cancer diagnosis point is relative appro-priate.

Objective To search the feasibility of mutation,RdxA gene was analyzed by the metronidazole induction experiment.Method The non-multiple,sensitive H.pylori strains,were selected and subjected to metronidazole induction experiment,which made H.pylori strains transform susceptibility to resistance.Extracted DNA of metronidazole sensitive and resistant pairs of H.pylori strains before and after induced,amplified by PCR and sequenced rdxA gene.Result 4 of 12 H.pylori strains were induced successfully with metronidazole whose MICs increased by 16~64 times.Strains were transferred three times on metronidazole-free medium and the MICs redetermined were the same as those after induced.There was 0.2～0.8% difference between pairs of metronidazole sensitive and resistant H.pylori strains.There was 2.2～2.7% difference between unrelated H.pylori strains.Conclusion The metronidazole induction experiment could make H.pylori acquire stable resistance to metronidazole in a short period and exclude that the natural polymorphism of rdxA gene influenced on mutation analysis.There was good hope that the experiment would become a good method to research metronidazole resistance mechanism

Objective To investigate the effects of self-efficacy-oriented nursing intervention on postoperative quality of life of lung tumor patients. Methods Ninety patients with lung tumors undergoing chest surgery in our hospital from March 2010 to March 2012 , involved in the study. The nursing data were retrospectively analyzed for investigation of the nursing strategies. The patients were randomized into two group with random digits table in equal number: The control group received routine nursing and the intervention group with self-efficacy-oriented nursing intervention beside routine nursing care. 3 months after nursing intervention , the two groups were compared by Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) in terms of quality of life and psychological state. Results The scores of the intervention group by SDS and SAS were both significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The scores of the intervention group on self efficacy and quality of life were significantly higher than those of the control (P < 0.05). Conclusion The self-efficacy-oriented nursing intervention applied in the postoperative nursing care to lung cancer patients can significantly improve the postoperative symptoms and psychological status. It can also improve their self efficacy and then enhance their quality of life.

Objective: To create a model to predict nosocomial infections in emergency intensive care units (EICU), so as to provide insights into early identification and interventions among patients with nosocomial infections. Methods: All nosocomial infections were collected from patients hospitalized in the EICU of a large tertiary hospital from 2017 to 2020. The 2017-2019 data were selected as the training set to create a logistic regression model, and the fitting effectiveness of the predictive model was evaluated using Hosmer-Lemeshow test. The 2020 data were selected as the test set to evaluate the external validation of the predictive model. In addition, the value of the model for prediction of nosocomial infections was examined using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results : Totally 1 546 inpatients in EICU were enrolled, and the prevalence of nosocomial infections was 7.18%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified hospital stay duration of >7 days (OR=21.845, 95%CI: 7.901-60.398), use of ventilators (OR=3.405, 95%CI: 1.335-8.682), and surgery (OR=1.854, 95%CI: 1.121-3.064) as risk factors of nosocomial infections. The predictive model was p=ey/(1+ey), y=-6.105+(3.084×duration of hospital stay)+(1.225×use of ventilators)+(0.617×surgery). The area under ROC curve was 0.806 (95%CI: 0.774-0.838) for the training set and 0.723 (95%CI: 0.623-0.823) for the test set, and if the 0.065 cut-off of the predictive model created by the training set was included in the test set, the predictive value yield a 0.739 sensitivity and 0.642 specificity for prediction of nosocomial infections among patients hospitalized in EICU. Conclusion The created predictive model for nosocomial infections among patients hospitalized in EICU presents a high accuracy, which shows a satisfactory predictive value for high-risk nosocomial infections.

As an ideal surgical method for treating corneal endothelial decompensation, endothelial keratoplasty has been widely applied.It has many advantages, but there are also complications during graft preparation, intraoperative operation and postoperative recovery.The two common types of corneal endothelial keratoplasty, Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty and Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty, were taken as examples in this article to introduce the treatment of complications during graft preparation, such as graft perforation and graft tear, intraoperative complications, for instance, difficulty in expanding graft and graft inversion, postoperative complications including graft detachment, high intraocular pressure, etc.The incidence of complications at different stages of endothelial keratoplasty, influencing factors and treatment methods were reviewed to provide a reference for clinicians to diagnose and treat complications of endothelial keratoplasty at various stages.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of quantitative parameters of dual-layer spectral CT in preoperative prediction of Ki-67 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).Methods:From December 2021 to December 2022, 64 patients with histopathologically diagnosed ESCC were retrospectively analyzed at Liaoning Cancer Hospital & Institute. The expression level of Ki-67 in ESCC tumor tissue was detected by the immunohistochemical method. The patients were divided into the Ki-67 high expression group (the Ki-67 expression index≥30%, 47 cases) and the Ki-67 low expression group (the Ki-67 expression index<30%, 17 cases). The quantitative parameters of spectral CT were measured, including traditional 120 kVp CT value, 40 keV CT value, iodine density (ID), normalized iodine density (NID), and Z-effective in arterial and venous phases. Independent sample t test was used to compare the differences in the parameters between the Ki-67 high and low expression groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the efficacy of each parameter in predicting Ki-67 expression. DeLong test was used to compare the area under the curve (AUC). Results:The 120 kVp CT value, 40 keV CT value, ID, and Z-effective in the arterial phase and the 120 kVp CT value, 40 keV CT value, ID, NID, Z-effective in venous phase in the Ki-67 high expression group were all higher than those in the Ki-67 low expression group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in arterial phase NID between the two groups ( t=1.85, P=0.070). NID in the venous phase had the highest AUC in predicting high expression of Ki-67 in ESCC (AUC=0.965, 95%CI 0.923-1.000). With a venous phase NID value of 0.28 as the diagnostic threshold, the sensitivity and specificity were 93.6% and 100%. There was no significant difference in AUC between venous phase NID and venous phase ID (AUC=0.926) and Z-effective (AUC=0.909) ( Z=-1.52, 1.81, P=0.128, 0.071), but there was a significant difference of AUC between venous phase NID and 120 kVp CT value (AUC=0.719) and 40 keV CT value (AUC=0.747) ( Z=3.41, 3.30, P=0.001, 0.001). There were statistical differences of AUC between venous phase NID and each parameter of arterial phase ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The three spectral CT parameters (ID, NID, and Z-effective) in the venous phase have high diagnostic efficacy in predicting ESCC Ki-67 expression.

Objective To evaluate the current status and related factors of influenza vaccination among health care workers (HCWs) in tertiary hospitals of Xining city after the implementation of the free influenza vaccination policy. Methods In August 2018, the cluster sampling method was used to select four medical institutions in Xining that had previously conducted investigations and interventions. All HCWs (excluding logistic staff) in each medical institution were included in the study. A total of 3 260 valid respondents were included. Questionnaires were used to collect the demographic characteristics, influenza and influenza vaccination awareness, implementation of free policy in the influenza epidemic season from 2017 to 2018, influenza vaccination status, awareness of influenza vaccination schedule and free policy. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze related factors of influenza vaccination. Results The age of respondents was (31.41 ± 5.00) years. The influenza vaccination rate was 6.80% (226/3 260) in 2017-2018 influenza epidemic season. After controlling for related factors, the awareness of the influenza vaccination schedule ( OR=17.05, 95%CI : 5.86-49.59), vaccination frequency ( OR=8.22, 95%CI :2.98-22.61) and the free policy (OR=3.15, 95%CI: 1.49-6.67) had higher vaccination rate. Conclusion The influenza vaccination rate of HCWs in tertiary hospitals of Xining city was low. Increasing the awareness of the vaccination schedule, frequency and free policy may promote the influenza vaccination rate of HCWs.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of intrusive thinking and psychological distress on the fear of disease progression and quality of life of kidney transplant recipients, with a view to providing scientific theoretical guidance for effective psychological interventions for kidney transplant recipients.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. Convenience sampling was used to select 312 kidney transplant recipients who were followed up in the Outpatient Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China from January to May 2019. Patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire, the Impact of Events Scale-Revised Intrusion Subscale, Distress Thermometer and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey Questionnaire. Mplus 8.3 was used to construct and verify multiple intermediary models.Results:A total of 296 kidney transplant recipients were included in this study. In quality of life, the mental health score was (49.58±8.97) , and the physical health score was (49.90±9.17) . Fear of disease progression, intrusive thinking and psychological distress were all negatively correlated with mental health and physical health of quality of life (the r values were -0.453 to -0.401, P<0.01) . The mediating effect of fear of disease progression on the quality of life was established. The total mediating effect value was -0.273, and the specific mediating effect of intrusive thinking accounted for 46.52%, and the specific mediating effect of psychological distress accounted for 41.76%. The chain mediating effect of intrusive thinking and psychological distress between fear of disease progression and quality of life accounted for 11.72%. Conclusions:The intrusive thinking and psychological distress of kidney transplant recipients are established as a chain mediation between the fear of disease progression and the quality of life. While paying attention to patients' fear of disease, clinical staff should pay attention to assessing patients' intrusive thinking and psychological distress, and take targeted measures to reduce the impact of fear of disease progression on the quality of life.
