Objective To systematically assess the interventional effects of aerobic combined resistance exercise on walking ability,cardiorespiratory endurance,dialysis adequacy and quality of life in the patients with hemodialysis(HD).Methods The published randomized controlled trials on the interventional effects of aerobic combined resistance exercise in HD patients were retrieved from the databases of PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Ovid,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and China Biomedical Literature Service System(SinoMed).The retrieval time was from the database establishment to May 28,2021;the included literatures were analyzed by using RevMan 5.4 software.Results A total of 24 studies with 1 086 research subjects were included.The results showed that compared with the control group(adopting the usual care or conducting no-resistance limb movement),the walking ability,cardiopulmonary endurance and the dimensions of partial quality of life in the HD patients of the intervention group(aerobic combined resistance exercise)were signifi-cantly improved.The dialysis adequacy during dialysis in the intervention group was significantly improved compared with that in the control group.Conclusion Aerobic combined resistance exercise could improve the physical function,quality of life and dialysis adequacy in HD patients,and it is recommended that the patients are encouraged to conduct the aerobic combined resistance exercise by combining with the specific situation.

Objective To discuss the current status of the discharge readiness in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome undergoing interventional therapy,and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods A cross-sectional survey in 150 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome,who were admitted to the Department of Interventional Radiology of a certain grade Ⅲ-A hospital in Xuzhou City of China between September 2022 and September 2023,was conducted.The revised Discharge Preparation Scale,the Discharge Guidance Quality Scale,and the self-designed general data collection form were used as the study tools.Results The results of the survey showed that the mean discharge readiness score in the 150 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome undergoing interventional therapy was(102.59±7.88)points,and the quality of discharge guidance,education level,and per capita monthly household income,and the current disease status were the key factors affecting the patient's readiness for discharge(P＜0.001).Conclusion The overall level of readiness for discharge in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome undergoing interventional therapy is high,but nurses should make key assessment of the current disease status,the discharge intentions and concerns of patients with low-education level and low-income,based on which give targeted health guidance so as to improve patient's readiness for discharge.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:674-678)

Objective To screen and verify the genes that play key role in the occurrence and development of esophageal cancer by u-sing bioinformatics and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)methods to find new markers for diagnosis of esophageal cancer(ESCA).Methods Using the TCGA database and Wayne plot analysis,the cross genes between the differentially expressed genes of ESCA and the genes which have the most significant impacts on disease-free survival(DFS)rate in esophageal cancer patients were preliminarily identified.Following conducting protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis on the overlapping genes,GO and KEGG functional analysis was performed to screen the potential key genes as the diagnostic markers of esophageal cancer.qRT-PCR was used to quantitatively analyze the expression of mRNA of the key gene in peripheral blood.Statistical analysis was con-ducted based on the clinico-pathological characteristics of the patients to determine its potential value as a new diagnostic marker for e-sophageal cancer.Results After overlapping of differentially expressed genes of ESCA and disease-free survival genes in the TCGA database,39 upregulated genes and 20 downregulated genes were found to be differentially expressed,all of which affected disease-free survival rate.After conducting PPI network analysis,15 upregulated genes with core interactions were identified,and the downregulat-ed genes did not form any interaction network.Further enrichment analysis of these 15 core interacting genes through GO and KEGG,revealed that fibronectin 1(FN1)may be a potential biomarker for ESCA diagnosis.The qRT-PCR results showed that compared with the healthy control group,the mRNA expression level of FN1 in the peripheral blood of esophageal cancer patients was significantly ele-vated.After analyzing the clinical characteristics of patients,it was found that the patients with poor differentiation and high clinico-pathological staging had significantly increased peripheral blood FN1 mRNA levels.The model with FN1 mRNA expression levels can distinguish esophageal cancer patients from healthy individuals.Conclusion FN1 mRNA may be a potential non-invasive diagnostic biomarker for esophageal cancer.

Objective To evaluate the interventional effects of virtual reality(VR)on cancer patients in pain,anxiety,cognitive function,upper limb function and quality of life.Methods Randomised controlled trials(RCTs)using VR technology on cancer patients were retrieved from databases of CNKI,Wanfang Database,SinoMed,VIP,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,PsycINFO and Cochrane Library,from the inception of the databases to March 2023.Two reviewers independently examined and screened the literatures,followed by evaluation of the quality and extraction of relevant themes.Meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.3 to analyse the acquired data.Results A total of 9 RCTs involving 727 patients were included.The meta-analysis demonstrated that VR technology alleviated pain intensity in cancer patients[SMD=-1.31,95%CI(-1.96 to-0.66),P<0.001],relieved anxiety[SMD=-0.96,95%CI(-1.62 to-0.31),P=0.004],improved cognitive function[SMD=3.37,95%CI(1.74 to 5.00),P<0.001],and improved quality of life of cancer patients[SMD=0.67,95%CI(0.38 to 0.96),P<0.001].However,it posed unclear effect on upper limb function[SMD=-0.57,95%CI(-1.40 to 0.26),P=0.18].Conclusion VR technology shows potentials in alleviation of pain,reduction of anxiety and improvement of cognitive function and the quality of life in cancer patients,but it remains uncertain effect on upper limb function.However,due to heterogeneity in some of the results,more high-quality studies are required to validate the interventional effects of VR technology on cancer patients.

Objective To understand the current situation of protective mask wearing behavior of health care workers(HCWs),analyze the influencing factors for the failure to wear medical protective masks in a standard manner,and provide basis for the improvement of mask-wearing related training.Methods From June 2022 to March 2023,staff in a tertiary first-class hospital were selected as the research object.Real-time quantitative fitness testing using aerosol condensation particle counting method was applied to test 5 commonly used medical protective masks available in the market.Fitness factor changes of the testing instrument and assistance from professional per-sonnel were needed to comprehensively estimate the wearing condition of medical protective masks.Participants were surveyed through a self-made general information questionnaire.Heads and faces of participants were scanned by three-dimensional(3D)laser scanning technology,and scanned images were imported into Geomagic Studio 2013 software to measure head and face dimensions.Results A total of 222 HCWs were investigated,991 real-time tests and 208 times of 3D scanning were conducted.221(22.30％)tests showed failure of participants in wearing masks in a standard manner.The non-standard wearing rates of 5 types of medical protective masks were 30.56％,25.62％,25.87％,23.15％,and 7.35％,respectively.The non-standard mask-wearing rates showed statistically significant difference between groups categorized in terms of medical protective masks with different shapes,partici-pants'occupation,time of last training for wearing medical protective masks,and participants'experience in pre-vention and control of respiratory infectious disease(all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in non-standard mask-wearing rate between groups with different brands and sizes of medical protective masks,as well as gender and department of participants,etc.(all P＞0.05).The body mass index(BMI)was significantly different among participants who wear foldable medical protective masks in the standard and non-standard manner(both P＜0.05).Conclusion Wearing medical protective masks by HCWs in a non-standard manner is influenced by multiple factors.It is recommended to conduct real-time testing before formal quantitative fitness testing,so as to save time and improve testing efficiency.When conducting training on wearing medical protective masks in the fu-ture,targeted training should be provided based on mask shape and focus on logistics personnel,interns,individuals with high BMI,those who have never received training on wearing medical protective masks,and those who have never participated in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infectious diseases.

Objective:To deeply explore the experience and feelings of postpartum weight management in primiparas, so as to provide reference for optimizing postpartum management strategies.Methods:This study was qualitative. From May to June 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 15 primiparas who underwent postpartum follow-up at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University as the research subject for semi-structured interviews. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze data and extract themes.Results:The lived experience of postpartum weight management in primiparas was extracted into three themes and 11 sub-themes, including cognitive differences in postpartum weight management (awareness of importance and adoption of positive behaviors, neglect and avoidance), facilitators and obstacles in weight management (facilitators included self-expectations, positive evaluations and feedback from others, beneficial experiences, while obstacles included eating and exercise behavior disorders, physical symptom interference, role conflicts, negative emotions), and a desire to receive support from multiple aspects (continuous information support from medical institutions, support and acceptance from families and society) .Conclusions:Primiparas have a relatively insufficient cognition of postpartum weight management, and the weight management process is influenced by many factors. Medical and nursing staff should adopt effective strategies to correct cognitive biases in maternal weight management, make full use of facilitators, actively respond to obstacles, and pay attention to multiple sources of support, so as to promote postpartum recovery.
