Objective: To evaluate the effects of problem-oriented respiratory rehabilitation nursing on lung function, activity ability, length of hospital stay, and retention time of closed chest drainage tube in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection for lung cancer, so as to provide a basis for improving the prognosis of patients with lung cancer surgery. Methods: A total of 119 patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection for lung cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October 2023 to June 2024 were selected and randomly divided into the intervention group (n=59) and the control group (n=60). The control group received routine respiratory rehabilitation nursing of thoracic surgery. On the basis of the treatment and guidance received by the control group, the intervention group implemented problem-oriented respiratory rehabilitation nursing. First second expiratory volume (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) were used to evaluate pulmonary function at 1 day before surgery and 3 days after surgery, and the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) was used to evaluate physical activity. The incidence of pulmonary complications, length of hospital stay and retention time of closed chest drainage tube were collected through the hospital's electronic medical records system. The intervention effects between the two groups were compared using variance analysis of repeated-measures analysis of variance and log-rank test. Results: The mean age of the control group was (60.77±9.31) years, with 28 males and 32 females. There were 4 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 55 cases of adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of small cell carcinoma. The tumors were located in the right lobe in 41 cases. The mean age of the intervention group was (58.71±10.01) years, with 23 males and 36 females. There were 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma, 56 cases of adenocarcinoma, and 1 case of small cell carcinoma. The tumors were located in the right lobe in 37 cases. There were no statistically significant differences in age, gender, education level, pathological type, and tumor location between the two groups (all P>0.05). Three days after surgery, there was an interaction effect between the group and the time in FEV1, FVC, and 6MWD between the two groups. The FEV1 and 6MWD in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in FVC between the groups (P>0.05). There were 3 cases of postoperative complications in the control group, and no cases in the intervention group. Log-rank test showed that the length of hospital stay and retention time of closed chest drainage tube after surgery in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion The problem-oriented respiratory rehabilitation nursing can improve the lung function and activity ability of patients with lung cancer after surgery, shorten the length of hospital stay and retention time of closed chest drainage tube, and improve the quality of life.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have reported inconsistent results with positive,negative,and J-shaped associations between alcohol consumption and the hazard of aortic aneurysm and dissection(AAD).This study aimed to examine the connections between weekly alcohol consumption and the subsequent risk of AAD. METHODS:The UK Biobank study is a population-based cohort study.Weekly alcohol consumption was assessed using self-reported questionnaires and the congenital risk of alcohol consumption was also evaluated using genetic risk score(GRS).Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios(HRs)with 95%confidence intervals(CIs)for the associations between alcohol consumption and AAD.Several sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS:Among the 388,955 participants(mean age:57.1 years,47.4%male),2,895 incident AAD cases were documented during a median follow-up of 12.5 years.Compared with never-drinkers,moderate drinkers(adjusted HR:0.797,95%CI:0.646-0.984,P<0.05)and moderate-heavy drinkers(adjusted HR:0.794,95%CI:0.635-0.992,P<0.05)were significantly associated with a decreased risk of incident AAD.Interaction-based subgroup analysis revealed that the protective effect of moderate drinking was reflected mainly in participants younger than 65 years and women. CONCLUSION:Our findings support a protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on AAD,but are limited to participants younger than 65 years and women.

Objective:To explore the antibacterial performance and mechanism of reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachines mimicking neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).Methods:In this study, a cross-shaped DNA nanostructure was synthesized using the one-step method to form a network under the polymerization of magnesium ions. The network was used as a template for inlaying reduced Cu 0 to form reticulated DNA-templated copper nanoclusters (CuNPs). The cruciform DNA formation process was characterized by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine was characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The optimal concentrations of Cu 2+, Mg 2+and DNA in the reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine was determined by plate coating experiments. The antibacterial performance of the reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine against Escherichia coli ( E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae was verified by plate coating experiments. The aggregation effect of E. coli was evaluated by crystal violet staining, and the changes on the membrane surface of E. coli were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in order to explore the antibacterial mechanism of the reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine. Results:PAGE showed that the band migration distance of the four DNA strands was the smallest after co-incubation. AFM showed that the DNA structure was reticulated and evenly distributed, and the Cu, Mg, and P elements coexisted in the structure. The optimal concentrations of Cu 2+, Mg 2+, and DNA required for the synthesis of the reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine were 1 mmol/L, 100 mmol/L, and 20 μmol/L, respectively. The reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine had the ability to inhibit E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae, with survival rates of 39.72%, 43.56% and 60.57%, respectively. The reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine had an aggregation effect on E. coli. The surface of the bacterial film exhibited shrinkage and fractures. Conclusion:The reticulated cruciform DNA nanomachine constructed in this study can aggregate E. coli, leading to the shrinkage and fracturing of the bacterial film, and exhibiting antibacterial effects.
