Objective To explore the effects of participatory diet nursing on nutritional status in patients with radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods From May 2014 to May 2016, 70 gastric cancer patients at Gastrointestinal Surgery of China-Japanese Friendship Hospital were selectod as subjects by purposive sampling. All of the patients were randomly divided into two groups, 35 cases in each group. Patients of the control group accepted routine nursing intervention. Patients of the observation group were treated with participatory diet nursing. Patients were assessed with the Patient-generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and the Adherence to Dietary Scale. Results The scores of PG-SGA in patients of the observation group were lower than those of the control group at discharge and 6 months after discharge with significant differences (P< 0.05). There was no significant difference in the score of PG-SGA of patients 12 months after discharge in two groups (P> 0.05). The score of Adherence to Dietary Scale of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at discharge, 6 and 12 months after discharge (P<0.05). Conclusions Participatory diet nursing contribute to improving the dietary adherence of gastric cancer patients and nutritional status, but the effects of it on long nutritional status remain to be seen.

Objective To observe the clinical effect and economic utility of self-designedvestlike dressing device in patients with breast cancer after the operation.Methods Sixty patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the self-made vestlike dressing device group (the observation group) and the self-adhesive elastic bandage group (the control group),each with 30 cases.The quantity of postoperative drainage,the time of intubation,the rate of subcutaneous hydrops and flap necrosis,the degree of discomfort were compared between the two groups.Results The differences were found in the quantity of drainage the first and third day after the operation,the quantity of drainage from axillary approach and chest wall between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).In the two groups,the quantity of drainage were respectively (562.1 ± 107.3) ml and (986.9.6 ± 208.1) ml; the time of intubation were respectively (9.8 ± 2.1) d and (13.0 ± 4.7) d ; the scores of comfort were respectively (1.4 ± 0.8) and (2.5 ± 0.7) on the first day after the operation,and were (1.4 ± 0.8) and (2.8 ± 0.6) on the third day after the operation; and the differences were statistically significant (t =-3.246,-2.422,-3.816,-4.457,respectively ;P ＜ 0.01).The fee and time of bandage were respectively (259.7 ± 36.0) yuan,(32.1 ± 5.8) s in the observation group,and were (430.2 ± 119.3) yuan,(85.3 ± 21.9) s in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (t =-5.309,-8.82,respectively;P ＜ 0.01).The rate of subcutaneous hydrops was 33.3％ in the control group,and was significantly higher than 3.33％ in the observation group,and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =9.017,P ＜0.01).No the occurrence of flap necrosis was found in the two groups.Conclusions Application of self-made vestlike dressing device in patients with breast cancer after the operation can reduce the quantity of postoperative drainage,the time of intubation and the rate of subcutaneous hydrops,relieve the degree of discomfort in patients,and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Gastric cancer(GC)is one of the most common and high mortality tumors in the world,and the clinical staging during diagnosis is closely related to the prognosis of patients.Therefore,finding sensitive diagnostic biomarkers to improve the early diagnosis rate has become an urgent issue.Exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles secreted by various cells,which play an important role in cellular communication by transporting bioactive substances in tumor microenvironment(TME).CircRNA is a type of non-coding RNA with a specific structure.Because it is difficulty in degradation,it can be enriched in extracellular vesicles and participate in various pathophysiological processes mediated by it.Exo-circRNA can affect the proliferation,invasion,drug resistance and tissue metastasis of tumor cells,and has more significant diagnostic specificity than conventional diagnostic biomarkers in clinical practice.It may become a supplement to biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of GC.This article briefly introduces the characteristics,formation mechanism and role of extracellular vesicles and circRNA in GC.It discusses in detail the role of exo-circRNA in the occurrence and development of GC,and discusses their potential clinical application value and challenges in GC.

Objective:To analyze the impact of global budget on the medical flow treatment and fund allocation in a non-compact medical community based on the symbiosis theory, so as to provide references for relevant authorities to formulate policies for the medical community.Methods:Data on outpatient and emergency visits, discharges, and medical insurance fund usage of the leading hospital and primary medical and health institutions in a non-compact medical community were collected from the health information system of a certain city. The time range of the data spanned from January 2017 to December 2019. The total budget was implemented in April 2018. The symbiotic system of the non-compact medical community was analyzed based on the theory of symbiosis. Descriptive analysis and intermittent time series segmented regression model were used to analyze the changes in indexes related to the flow of medical treatment and fund allocation between the leading hospital and primary institutions under the global budget.Results:The non-compact medical community′s symbiotic system had developed a continuous symbiotic model in organization and an asymmetric reciprocal symbiotic model in behavior. From the perspective of medical treatment flow, the number of outpatient and emergency visits of leading hospital and primary institutions in the medical community showed an upward trend, with little change in the number of discharged patients from 2017 to 2019; The number of patients transferred by the leading hospital increased from 32 in 2017 to 87 in 2019. According to the analysis of the intermittent time series segmented regression model, after the implementation of global budget, the proportion of outpatient and emergency visits in leading hospital was decreased ( β3=-0.43, P<0.05), the proportion of outpatient and emergency visits in primary institutions was on the rise ( β3= 0.02, P<0.05). In terms of fund allocation, the share of health insurance fund of the leading hospital increased from 45.98% in 2017 to 46.51% in 2019, and the primary medical and health institutions decreased from 23.44% to 18.06%, as well as the ratio of per capita income of primary medical and health institutions to that of leading hospitals was decreased from 72.62% to 60.79%. Conclusions:Under the global budget, the outpatient and emergency medical treatment flow in a non-compact medical community had been optimized. However, there was an uneven distribution of funds among medical institutions at all levels. Thus it was recommended to continue to give full play to the positive incentive effect of the global budget, establish a scientific mechanism for distributing benefits, and strengthen supervision and management.

Objective:To explore the effect of three-dimensional(3D) design and printing in the reoperation of asymmetric deformity after orthognathic surgery.Methods:Patients of facial asymmetry after orthognathic surgery were included in the Department of Stomatology, Shenzhen University General Hospital and Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Shenzhen Stomatology Hospital Affiliated to Shenzhen University from January 2016 to August 2020. Surgical plans and guide plates (positioning guide plate, bone cutting guide plate, reset guide plate) were made by 3D design and printing. During the operations, guide plates were used to guide osteotomy. The facial shape satisfaction of clinicians/patients/third-party were recorded and analyzed at preoperation and 6-12 months postoperation. These patients’ CT scan data was imported to the digital surgery software. Then the distance of chin-midpoint to mid-sagittal plane and the difference of bilateral protuberant point of mandible body to mid-sagittal plane were measured at preoperation and 6-12 months postoperation to determine whether the asymmetry were corrected and postoperative distance were the same as the preoperative design. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 17.0 statistical software, and measurement data were expressed as Mean±SD. The preoperative and postoperative satisfaction of patients/clinicians/third-party, digital data of preoperation/postoperation and digital data of design-operations/postoperation were analyzed by paired t-test. Analysis of variance and dunnett- t test were used to compare the satisfaction of the surgeon, the third party and patients before and after operation. Results:There were 16 cases of facial asymmetry after orthognathic surgery, including 3 males and 13 females, aged from 18 to 35 years. In 9 cases, genioplasty were used to correct chin deviation. In the other 4 cases, unilateral buccal cortical bone resection were used to correct mandibular body deviation. In the last 3 cases, genioplasty and unilateral buccal cortical bone resection were both applied. All 16 patients successfully received the operation according to the preoperative digital designed plate. Postoperative follow-up ranged 6 months to 1 year. In the 12 cases of genioplasty, the distance of chin-midpoint to mid-sagittal plane reduced from(4.99±0.83) mm preoperatively to (1.63±0.80) mm postoperatively and the difference significant ( t=9.09, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the distance of preoperative design [(1.50±0.43) mm] and the postoperative one ( t=-0.83, P=0.423). In the 7 cases of unilateral buccal cortical bone resection, the difference of bilateral protuberant point of mandible body to mid-sagitta plane reduced from (7.26±1.20) mm preoperatively to (2.44±0.56) mm postoperatively and the difference was statistically significant ( t=10.26, P<0.001). There was no significant difference was observed between the distance of preoperative design [(2.39±0.16) mm] and the postoperative one ( t=-0.29, P=0.779). The preoperative satisfaction of patients, clinicians and third-party were 65.94±8.21, 79.69±5.91, 79.38±7.50. The postoperative satisfaction of patients, clinicians and third-party were 90.00±5.48, 90.63±2.50, 90.00±4.08. The postoperative satisfaction of patients, chief surgeon and third party was higher than that preoperative satisfaction and the difference was statistically significant( t=-9.15, P<0.001; t=-7.50, P<0.001; t=-6.04, P<0.001). The difference of preoperation satisfaction was statistically significant( F=18.66, P<0.001). The difference of satisfaction of the clinicians and the patients was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The difference of satisfaction of the third-party and the patients was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The difference of postoperation satisfaction was not statistically significant( F=0.12, P=0.889). Conclusions:3D design and printing can 3D analyze comprehensively, simulate surgery accurately, visualize proposed result and guide 3D printing digital guiding plate to perform surgery accurately. In addition, it can improve postoperative satisfaction. So 3D design and printing had obvious advantages in the secondary surgery of asymmetric deformity correction after orthognathic surgery.

Objective:To investigate the influence of indoxyl sulfate(IS), a typical protein-bound uremic toxin, on left atrial (LA) functional strains using three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (3DSTE).Methods:From May 2019 to January 2020, 128 individuals were consecutively enrolled, including 37 healthy controls and 91 patients, who received maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in the blood purification center of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University. Conventional echocardiographic parameters and 3DSTE datas of LA were obtained on interdialytic days.LA reservoir, conduit and contraction strains (LASr, LAScd and LASct) were calculated and compared. IS concentration in plasma was assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in the MHD cohort.According to the IS concentration, the MHD group was divided into high and low IS (HI and LI) groups. The LA data were also compared between the two groups and linear regression analysis was used to identify independent impact factors of LA strains.Results:Compared to the control group, MHD group had markedly enlarged LA volumes( P<0.05). With regard to the LA phasic strains, both of LASr and LAScd were decreased( P<0.05), while LASct remained unchanged( P>0.05). Compared to the LI group, LASr, LAScd and LASct of the HI group were significantly decreased(all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed IS concentration correlated well with LASr( rs=-0.674, P<0.001), LAScd( rs=0.454, P<0.001) and LASct( rs=0.376, P<0.001). After adjustment of age, systolic blood pressure, left ventricular mass index(LVMI), and pulmonary systolic pressure, IS concentration remained independently associated with LASr (β=-0.206, 95% CI=-0.353--0.059, P=0.007). Conclusions:In MHD patients, LA is enlarged, and its reservoir function and conduit function are impaired.LA strains derived from 3DSTE are independently related to the IS concentration in plasma, which can be used for the monitoring and evaluation of IS induced cardiac injury.
