Objective To develop and validate a nomogram model that integrates systemic inflammatory markers to predict the likelihood of pelvic lymph node metastasis(PLNM)in prostate cancer patients prior to surgery.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data and preoperative inflammatory markers—including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),systemic immune-inflammation index(SII),and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio(MLR)—of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.Univariate and multi-variate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify markers that were significantly associated with PLNM.Based on the results of the multivariate analysis,a nomogram was developed and its predictive accuracy was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC)and calibration plots.Results Among the 334 enrolled patients with prostate cancer,107 were identified with PLNM.Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in free prostate-specific antigen(fPSA),Gleason score,NLR,PLR,MLR,and SII between the PLNM and non-pelvic lymph node metastasis(NPLNM)groups(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis confirmed that fPSA,Gleason score,and SII were independent predictors of PLNM(P<0.05).A nomogram incorporating these predic-tors exhibited strong discriminative ability,with an area under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.79(95%CI:0.73~0.84).Calibration analysis further demonstrated good consistency between the predicted and observed probabilities of PLNM.Conclusions This study successfully developed a nomogram model based on systemic inflammatory markers for preoperative prediction of pelvic lymph node metastasis in prostate cancer.Owing to its user-friendly design and high predictive accuracy,this tool may serve as a valuable complementary method to conventional imaging techniques,thereby supporting personalized treatment decision-making.

Objective:To investigate the effects of rehabilitation nursing based on knowledge-action framework on compliance behavior and coping styles in patients with chronic respiratory failure (CRF), and provide scientific basis and practical guidance for clinical nursing of patients with CRF.Methods:A historical control study was conducted. A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of patients with CRF in Yiwu Central Hospital between January and April 2024. According to admission time, the patients were divided into the control group (admitted from January to February 2024, received routine rehabilitation nursing) and the study group (admitted from March to April 2024, received rehabilitation nursing based on knowledge-action framework). All patients were intervened for 1 month. The differences in self-care ability, compliance behavior, coping styles, quality of life between the two groups were compared using Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA), Compliance Behavior Questionnaire, Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ), St. George′s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).Results:A total of 60 patients with CRF were included, 30 patients in the study group, with 16 males and 14 females, aged (68.72 ± 4.67) years old; 30 patients in the control group, with 17 males and 13 females, aged (69.21 ± 4.18) years old. Before intervention, there were no significant differences in ESCA score, TCSQ score and SGRQ score between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). After 1 month of intervention, ESCA score in the study group was (134.79 ± 5.62) points, higher than (125.34 ± 5.51) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.58, P<0.05). The compliance behavior (adherence to medical regimens, reasonable diet, work and rest, regular checking) in the study group were 30, 28, 27, 29 cases, higher than 25, 20, 20, 22 cases in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 4.81-6.68, all P<0.05). The positive coping score of TCSQ in the study group was (39.67 ± 4.54) points, higher than (32.19 ± 4.38) points in the control group, and score of negative coping score was (13.55 ± 2.28) points, lower than (18.31 ± 2.43) points in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t=6.49, 7.82, both P<0.05). The SGRQ score in the study group was (30.23 ± 3.29) points, lower than (35.87 ± 3.66) points in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.28, P<0.05). Conclusions:For patients with CRF, rehabilitation nursing based on knowledge-action framework can effectively improve self-care ability and compliance behavior, form more positive coping styles, improve quality of life.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of acupoint catgut-embedding therapy plus fundamental treatment versus fundamental treatment alone for the prevention and treatment of bone marrow depression in breast cancer patients induced by FEC(fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy. Methods A total of 46 post-operation breast cancer patients accepting the first cycle of FEC chemotherapy were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 23 cases in each group. The control group was given fundamental treatment including oral use of Chinese medicine of modified Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction for regulating stomach and arresting vomiting, modified Guipi Decoction and Gui Lu Erxian Decoction for nourishing blood and generating blood, and western medicine of Batilol Tablets and Vitamin B4 Tablets. The treatment group was given acupoint catgut-embedding therapy on bilateral Zusanli(ST36) and Shenshu(BL23) plus fundamental treatment. The effect on bone marrow depression in the two groups was observed after treatment. Results(1) On post-chemotherapy day 7 and 8, the count of white blood cells (WBC) and neutrophils (NE) in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group, the difference being significant(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).(2) The utilization of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF) in the treatment group was less than that in the control group, the difference being significant (P < 0.05). (3) On post-chemotherapy day 10, the effect on improving bone marrow depression in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group, the difference being significant (P<0.01) . Conclusion The acupoint catgut-embedding therapy plus fundamental treatment is more effective and safe for the prevention and treatment of bone marrow depression in breast cancer patients induced by FEC chemotherapy than fundamental treatment alone.
