Objective To construct a symptom network in patients with acute type A aortic dissection(ATAAD),so as to provide theoretical basis for the screening of dissection ATAAD during emergency pre-screening triage.Methods There were 433 patients diagnosed with ATAAD during 2019 to 2023 in an emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Wuhan.Their basic information and medical records were reviewed by self-designed data questionnaire.UCINET6.0 software was used to construct a symptom network,analyze the centrality index and determine the core symptoms.Symptom distribution of patients with positive and negative blood pressure in extremities was analyzed in the further.Results The most common symptoms in patients with type A aortic dissection were chest pain(77.37％),back pain(42.96％),and sweating(29.79％).In the symptom network,chest pain had the highest degree(rs=659).The closeness of chest pain,chest tightness,shortness of breath,back pain,nausea and vomiting,limb numbness and fatigue were same(rc=93.33).Fatigue has the highest betweenness(rb=13.69).Patients with positive limbs blood pressure mainly reported chest pain(70.17％),back pain(44.96％),and nausea and vomiting(19.33％),while those with negative limb blood pressure mainly reported chest pain(63.64％),back pain(63.64％),and orosphyalgia(39.40％).Orosphyalgia had the highest degree(rs=20).Conclusion The symptoms of ATAAD are complex and varied in patients.During triage,nurses should measure the limb blood pressure when patients complained chest pain alone or when combined with other hypoperfusion symptoms,such as back pain,chest tightness,sweating,near-death sensation,and shortness of breath.Aortic dissection cannot be ruled out in patients with negative blood pressure when they had chest pain,back pain or orosphyalgia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of Delphian lymph node (DLN) metastasis (DLNM) in predicting regional lymph node involvement in patients with intrathyroidal papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Methods:Clinical and pathological data from 345 consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed DLN status, who underwent initial surgical treatment at the Department of Surgical Oncology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine between Jan 2020 and Dec 2022, were retrospectively analyzed.Results:DLNM was identified in 61 patients (17.7%). Univariate analysis revealed significant associations between DLNM and male sex, elevated preoperative thyroglobulin levels, larger tumor size, maximum tumor diameter >10 mm, bilateral lesions, multifocality, lymphovascular invasion, and lymph nodes metastases in pretracheal, paratracheal, and lateral cervical(all P ≤0.001). Elevated thyroglobulin antibody levels ( χ2=6.201, P=0.013) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis ( χ2=11.340, P<0.001) were protective factors for DLNM. Multivariate analysis identified male sex, lymphovascular invasion, pretracheal, and paratracheal lymph node metastases ( χ2=6.689, P=0.010; χ2=8.163, P=0.004; χ2=7.605, P=0.006; χ2=8.324, P=0.004) as independent risk indicators for DLNM. Patients with DLNM exhibited significantly higher risks of lymph nodes metastases in pretracheal ( χ2=27.307, P<0.001), paratracheal ( χ2=38.697, P<0.001), and lateral cervical ( χ2=36.459, P<0.001). Conclusion:DLNM demonstrates predictive value for both central compartment and lateral cervical lymph node metastases, warranting particular attention to meticulous dissection of the prelaryngeal region during surgery.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effects of manual reduction and machine reduction in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV)at different ages.Methods Randomly select 300 patients clinically diagnosed with BPPV who visited the Hearing Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from April 2022 to December 2023.They were divided into young and middle-aged group of 170 cases(18-59 years old)and elderly group of 130 cases(≥60 years old)according to age.Each group was further divided equally into experimental group and control group based on the diagnosis and treatment methods adopted by the patients.The experimental group patients were treated with a benign paroxysmal positional vertigo diagnosis and treatment system(model/specification:SRM-Ⅳ)for machine reduction.The control group patients were treated with manual reduction.Compare the effective rate of reduction,reduction frequency,incidence of residual dizziness symptoms,and duration of each group.Results In young and middle-aged patients,the incidence and duration of residual dizziness symptoms after reduction in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference in the effective rate and number of reductions(P>0.05).In elderly group,the reduction efficiency of experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group,and the reduction frequency was lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence and duration of residual dizziness symptoms after reduction(P>0.05).Conclusion Machine reduction can significantly improve the reduction efficiency of elderly BPPV patients,significantly shorten the duration of residual dizziness after reduction treatment in young and middle-aged patients,and reduce its incidence.

Purpose: To understand the recurrence risk perception of stroke patients and develop a chain mediation model of recurrence risk perception and health behavior. Methods: A cross-sectional study and convenience sampling were used. Stroke survivors were recruited from the neurology departments of three tertiary hospitals. Their recurrence risk perception, behavioral decision-making, social support, self-efficacy, recurrence worry, and health behavior were measured by relevant tools. Data was analyzed through one-way analysis and regression analysis, and the AMOS 21.0 software was used to explore the mediating relationships between variables. Results: Of the 419 participants, 74.7% were aware of stroke recurrence risk. However, only 28.2% could accurately estimate their own recurrence risk. Recurrence risk perception was significantly correlated with behavioral decision-making, social support, self-efficacy, and health behavior (r = .19 ∼ .50, p < .05). Social support and recurrence risk perception could affect health behavior indirectly through self-efficacy, behavioral decision-making, and worry. Behavioral decision-making acted as a main mediator between recurrence risk perception and health behavior, while the path coefficient was .47 and .37, respectively. The chain mediation effect between recurrence risk perception and health behavior was established with a total effect value of .19 (p < .01). Conclusion Most stroke survivors could be aware of recurrence risk but failed to accurately estimate their individual risk. In the mediation model of recurrence risk perception and health behavior, social support seemed to be an important external factor, while self-efficacy, behavioral decision-making, and worry seemed to act as key internal factors.

Objective To correctly identify the blood group of ABO and study its molecular biological characteristics.Methods Blood samples from blood donors with discrepancies in forward and reverse typing using the microplate method were subjected to both saline tube agglutination test for serological identification and polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primers(PCR-SSP)for genotyping.Additionally,direct sequencing of exons 1 to 7 of the ABO gene was performed on some donor samples to analyze their blood phenotype,genotype and gene sequence.Results For 256 samples showing discrepancy between forward and reverse typing in microwell method,119 were identified as normal ABO blood types,90 were weakened ABO antibodies and 47 were ABO subtypes by serology tube test.According to the PCR-SSP genotyping test,233 of 256(91.02%)were consistent with serological phenotype and genotype,17 of 256(6.64%)were inconsistent,and 6 samples can′t read genotype based on the kit result typing table.A total of 17 genotypes were identified in 250 samples as AO1 in 56,AO2 in 58,AA in 50,BO1 in 31,BO2 in 17,BB in 8,O1O1 in 2,O1O2 in 7,AB in 13,AO4 in 1,A205O2 in 1,A205A in 1,A201A in 1,O1O4 in 1,O2O2 in 1,A201B in 1 and A205B in 1.Sequencing of exons 1 to 7 of the ABO gene was carried out in 78 samples,and 29 ABO alleles were detected,seven of which were common alleles(?A101,?A102,?A104,?B101,?O01,?O02,?O04),22 of which were rare alleles(?A201,?A205,?Ax01,?Ax03,?Ax13,?Ax19,?Ax22,?Ael10,?B305,?Bel03,?Bel06/?Bx02,?Bw07,?Bw12,?Bw17,?Bw37,?O05,?O26,?O61,?B(A)04,?B(A)07,?cisAB01 and ?cisAB01var).In addition,six rare allele mutation sites were identified(c.101A＞G;c.103_106delG;c.146_147insGC;c.259G＞T;c.322C＞T;c.932T＞C).Conclusion The identification of ambiguous ABO blood group requires the combination of serological testing and molecular biological examination to correctly identify the blood type and ensure the safety of clinical blood transfusion.

Objective:To analyze the problems and risk factors of the investigator initiated out-of-range trial, propose countermeasures and suggestions, and provide reference for improving project standardization and quality, and preventing research risks.Methods:Through literature analysis and field research, combined with personal work experience, this study sorted and analyzed the problems in the regulation of out-of-range IIT conducted in hospital, and proposed countermeasures.Results:Through analysis, it was found that the current out-of-range IIT trial in China faces 5 problems: imperfect management regulations, incomplete IIT management organizational system in medical institutions, insufficient scientificity of research protocols, insufficient ethical review, and insufficient research funds.Conclusions:Out-of-range IIT is of great significance in promoting pharmaceutical innovation. Standardized management of such projects requires the efforts of regulatory authorities, medical institutions, and ethics committees, as well as the continuous improvement of researchers' awareness and research capabilities to promote the orderly, high-quality, and rapid development of IIT.
