ObjectiveTo explore the coercive experience of involuntarily hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders during the admission process and hospitalization， providing references for formulating targeted nursing interventions. MethodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 involuntarily hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders selected from October to December 2023， and the themes were summarized and extracted by content analysis. ResultsA total of 3 themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted， which were used to elaborate the essential contents， causes， and improvement methods of coercive experience. These encompassed the multi-dimensional content of coercive experience （complex emotional experience， different physical sensations， and contradictory cognitive evaluation）， the multi-faceted causes of coercive experience （insufficient personal preparation， inadequate parental communication， and strict medical management system）， as well as the phased improvement of coercive experience （adequate communication before hospitalization， patient notification before coercive intervention， respecting for demands during coercive intervention， and comforting explanation after coercive intervention）. ConclusionThe essential content of the coercive experience of involuntarily hospitalized adolescents with mental disorders is complex and has various causes， which require cooperation from multiple parties to improve. Therefore， parents should respect the expression of their children’s self-will， and medical staff should respect patients’ autonomy， establishing a protection-constrained doctor-patient relationship model and collaborating to reduce the use of coercive interventions， to improve the overall medical satisfaction of adolescents with mental disorders.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic changes of plasma high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and its correlation with functional outcome and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with acute large vessel occlusion stroke (ALVOS).Methods:Patients with ALVOS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Zengcheng District, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2021 to April 2023 were included retrospectively. Plasma HMGB1 before EVT and at 6, 24, and 48 hours after procedure was detected, and the dynamic changes of plasma HMGB1 were compared and analyzed. The primary endpoint was the functional outcome evaluated using the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days of onset. A score of 0-2 was defined as good outcome and >2 was defined as poor outcome. The secondary endpoint was sICH, which was defined as the occurrence of hemorrhagic infarction after EVT and an increase of ≥4 in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score from baseline. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the predictive value of HMGB1 for poor outcome and sICH. Results:A total of 73 patients with ALVOS received EVT were included. There were 54 males (74.0%), aged 62±12 years. The median time from onset to door was 90 minutes (interquartile range, 40-180 minutes), and the median time from onset to femoral artery puncture was 181 minutes (interquartile range, 140-280 minutes). Twenty-nine patients (39.7%) underwent bridging intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). At 90 days after onset, 37 patients (50.7%) had poor outcome, and 12 (16.4%) died during follow-up. Eleven patients (15.1%) developed sICH. After EVT, plasma HMGB1 showed a temporal increase, reaching its peak at 48 hours (median, 102.57 μg/L). Subgroup analysis showed that HMGB1 in the bridging IVT group at 6 hours ( P<0.05) and 24 hours ( P<0.05) after procedure were significantly higher than that at baseline. The non-bridging IVT group showed a significant increase at 6 hours after procedure ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in HMGB1 between the bridging IVT group and the non-bridging IVT group at the same time point. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, ischemic heart disease, triglycerides, uric acid, baseline NIHSS score, and sICH, the third quartile (adjusted odds ratio 7.087, 95% confidence interval 1.243-40.419; P=0.027) and fourth quartile (adjusted odds ratio 7.544, 95% confidence interval 1.260-45.172; P=0.027) of plasma HMGB1 were independent risk factors for poor outcome at 6 hours after procedure. The postoperative plasma HMGB1 in the sICH group was significantly higher than that in the non-sICH group ( P<0.05), but multivariate analysis showed no independent correlation between plasma HMGB1 and sICH. Conclusion:The elevation of plasma HMGB1 in patients with ALVOS at 6 hours after EVT is independently associated with poor outcome at 90 days after onset, but not with sICH.

Immunotherapy has been widely used in cancer treatment in recent years and functions by stimulating the immune system to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy (RT) uses radiation to induce DNA damage and kill tumor cells. However, this activates the body's immune system, promoting the release of tumor-related antigens from inactive dendritic cells, which stimulates the recurrence and metastasis of tumors in immune system tissues. The combination of RT and immunotherapy has been increasingly evaluated in recent years, with studies confirming the synergistic effect of the two antitumor therapies. Particularly, the combination of RT by dose adjustment with different immunotherapies has positive implications on antitumor immunity as well as disease prognosis compared with respective monotherapies. This review summarizes the current research status, progress, and prospects of RT combined with immunotherapy in cancer treatment. It additionally discusses the prevalent concerns regarding the dose, time window, and toxicity of this combination therapy.

Objective To investigate the plaque characteristics evaluated by intravascular ultrasound(IVUS)in perimenopausal women with coronary artery disease(CAD)and their impacts on the outcomes of stent implantation.Methods A total of 169 female CAD patients who were admitted to the Fourth People's Hospital of Langfang City from March 2021 to March 2023 were selected as research objects.All the patients underwent coronary angiography(CAG)and IVUS to identify plaque characteristics.Based on the plaque stability,the patients were assigned to stable plaque group(n=105)or unstable plaque group(n=64).Clinical data,IVUS parameters,coronary stent placement,and the incidence of major adverse cardiac events(MACE)were compared between the two groups.Results The plaque burden in the unstable plaque group was higher than that in the stable plaque group,while the minimal lumen area in the unstable plaque group was lower than that in the stable plaque group(P<0.05).The incidences of thrombosis,plaque rupture,and calcification in the unstable plaque group were higher than those in the stable plaque group(P<0.05).The stent placement rate and achievement rate in the unstable plaque group were higher than those in the stable plaque group(P<0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the incidence of MACE in the unstable plaque group was significantly higher than that in the stable plaque group(HR=2.257,95%CI:1.184-4.303,log-rank P=0.007).Conclusion IVUS shows high value in evaluating plaque characteristics in perimenopausal women with CAD.It can be used as an important tool to optimize treatment strategies.

Objective:To explore surgical strategies for acute type A aortic dissection involving severe stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries.Methods:From January 2019 to March 2023, a total of 29 patients with acute type A aortic dissection involving severe stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries were included in the study. All patients underwent emergency surgery, with simultaneous intraoperative neck incision and replacement of the unilateral or bilateral carotid arteries. Among them, there were 19 males with a mean age of(49.57±2.14)years old. Preoperative brain CT indicated abnormalities in 15 cases, transient neurological dysfunction occurred in 5 cases, and syncope in 1 case.Results:Procedures included ascending aorta replacement in 10 cases, Bentall procedure in 18 cases, and Wheat procedure in 1 case. Arch operations involved partial arch replacement in 3 cases and Sun’s procedure in 26 cases. Simple left carotid artery replacement was performed in 6 cases, simple right carotid artery replacement in 19 cases, and bilateral carotid artery replacement in 4 cases. Cerebral protection measures during circulatory arrest included unilateral cerebral perfusion in 24 cases and bilateral cerebral perfusion in 5 cases. The mean operation time was(7. 6±0. 3) h, with a mean cardiopulmonary bypass time of(196. 3±8. 7) min, aortic cross-clamp time of(113.2±6.4) min, ischemic time 12(5-16.5) min, and lowest temperature of(26.3±0.4)°C. One patient experienced in-hospital mortality. Postoperatively, new neurological dysfunction occurred in 2 cases, including 1 case with coma and permanent neurological deficit.Conclusion:In patients with acute type A aortic dissection involving severe stenosis or occlusion of the carotid arteries, simultaneous carotid artery replacement via neck incision during aortic surgery is a safe and reliable surgical approach.

Objective:To summarize the clinical data of Sun's procedure(total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique) in the treatment of complex aortic arch disease after previous cardiac surgery.Methods:From January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020, a total of 55 patients underwent resternotomy Sun's procedure in the Aortic Surgery Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital, including 41 males and 14 females, with a mean age of(45.4±12.7) years old, were retrospectively analyzed. The indications of primary cardiac surgery included type A aortic dissection, aortic root or ascending aortic aneurysm, heart valve surgery, and coronary heart disease. Indications for reoperation included residual aortic dissection larger than 55 mm in diameter, aortic aneurysm dilation, new type A aortic dissection, anastomotic leakage with symptoms, and pseudoaneurysm. All the operations were performed under general anesthesia and median resternotomy, total aortic arch replacement with the stented elephant trunk implantation and were performed by anterograde unilateral or bilateral cerebral perfusion.Results:There was no intraoperative death, and the postoperative mortality was 9.1%(5/55). The causes of death were 2 cases of low cardiac output, 1 case of respiratory failure, 1 case of cerebral complications, and 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding. Except death, there were 2 cases of postoperative cerebral complications(2/50, 4%), 5 cases of spinal cord injury(transient paraplegia)(5/50, 10%), the median duration of ventilator use was 17 hours(14-42 h). Other postoperative complications included respiratory insufficiency requiring ventilatory support longer than 48 hours(8/50, 16%), renal insufficiency requiring temporary dialysis(2/50, 4%). The follow-up time was(25.9±11.2) months(10-47 months), during which 1 case died due to cerebral complication, 4 cases underwent total thoracoabdominal aorta replacement, and 1 case underwent anastomotic leakage repair.Conclusion:It is safe and effec to perform Sun's procedure(total aortic arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique) in the treatment of complex arch disease after previous cardiac surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the neoadventitia technique for root repair in acute type A aortic dissection(ATAAD).Methods:From January 2019 to February 2022, a total of 94 patients with ATAAD who underwent surgical treatment in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different treatment methods for the aortic root, the patients were divided into the neoadventitia technique group(58 cases) and the Bentall group(36 cases). The perioperative data and postoperative follow-up results of the two groups were compared, and the efficacy of the new adventitia technique in acute type A aortic dissection was analyzed.Results:There were no intraoperative deaths. The 30-day mortality was 3.4% and 5.6% in the neoadventitia group and Bentall group, respectively ( P=0.636). The cardiopulmonary bypass time[(154.3±29.8)min, P<0.001] and aortic clamp time[(94.7±20.6)min, P<0.001)]were significantly shorter in the neoadventitia group, compared with the Bentall group. Aortic regurgitation was significantly improved after the operation (0.33±0.50 vs. 1.02±0.80, P<0.001). No aortic root-related secondary intervention occurred during follow-up. There was no significant difference in mortality between the two groups( P=0.248). Conclusion:Neoadventitia root repair is a safe and feasible method for the treatment of ATAAD, which has good short-term and mid-term efficacy.
