Objective:To explore the development trajectory and influencing factors of self compassion in elderly patients with first stroke hemiplegia, in order to provide a theoretical basis for adopting more targeted intervention measures at different stages and early identification of elderly stroke hemiplegia patients with sustained low self compassion.Methods:This was a prospective longitudinal study. Convenience sampling method was used to select 247 elderly patients with first-episode stroke admitted to Sanya Central Hospital (Hainan Third People′s Hospital) from January to December 2022 and who were assessed as semi-disabled (Barthel index was 40-99 ) before discharge. The baseline data of patients were collected by general information questionnaire, self-compassion scale, simplified fear of disease progression scale and social support rating scale. The self-compassion level of patients was evaluated before discharge, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after discharge and 6 months after discharge.The latent class growth model (LCGM) was used to identify the development trajectory of self-compassion, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the predictors of different development trajectory categories.Results:Ultimately, 219 patients completed the entire investigation and follow-up. There were 132 males and 87 females, aged (69.74 ± 4.05) years old. The self-compassion level of patients before discharge, 1 month after discharge, 3 months after discharge and 6 months after discharge were (72.37 ± 11.53), (74.65 ± 13.26), (76.84 ± 12.11), (79.45 ± 13.64) points, and there were positive correlation between scores ( r values were 0.29-0.55, all P<0.05). Three different trajectory change categories were identified by LCGM, namely high-level stable group (29%,63/219), low-level delayed decline group (23%, 51/219), and medium-level elevated group (48%, 105/219).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that per capita monthly income<2 000 yuan ( OR=2.857, 95% CI 1.093-7.464, P<0.05), high comorbidities ( OR=5.625, 95% CI 1.971-16.051, P<0.01), high fear of disease progression ( OR=1.167, 95% CI 1.080-1.261, P<0.01), and low social support ( OR=00.763, 95% CI 0.595-0.979, P<0.05) were more likely to enter the low-level delayed decline group, and high school education( OR=4.429, 95% CI 1.479-13.265, P<0.01) and high social support ( OR=1.120, 95% CI 1.043-1.202, P<0.01) were more likely to enter the middle-level rise group. Conclusions:The development trend of self-compassion in elderly stroke patients with semi-disability can be divided into three different trajectories: high-level stable group, low-level delayed decline group and medium-level elevated group. Low income level, more comorbidities and fear of disease progression are not conducive to the development of self-compassion after discharge, while high education level and social support are conducive to the improvement of self-compassion after discharge. Medical staff can formulate targeted intervention programs to improve patients′ self-compassion based on the above influencing factors.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of total retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy for a tuberculous non-functional kidney. Methods A total of 15 individuals diagnosed with unilateral non-functional kidney secondary to tuberculosis were encountered from January 2013 to January 2016. There were 12 male and 3 female patients with an average age of 47 (range 36~64 years old) in the cohort. All patients had normal renal function on the contralateral side and underwent the standard three-drug antituberculosis treatment for at least four weeks before surgery. Total retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy was performed in all patients, and the enlarged section of the distal ureter was managed using different auto-suture techniques. Results All the operations were successfully performed without conversion. The median operative time was 109 min (range, 75~138 min), the median blood loss was 157 ml (range, 70~230 ml), and the median hospitalization time was 7 days (range, 5~11 days). Renal vein injury, lumbar vein injury and rupture of distal ureter occurred in 1 patient, respectively. Peritoneum injury was observed in 3 patients. No serious perioperative complications occurred. Anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy was prescribed to all patients, with the entire course of treatment lasting five months. No recurrenceof tuberculosis of the bladder or the contralateral kidney was observed during the median follow-up period of 25 months. Conclusion Total retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy is a safe and feasible approach for the treatment of tuberculous non-functional kidneys, and it is minimal and rapid recuperation.

BACKGROUND:Thoracolumbar fracture becomes more in the clinic. The fixation manner of thoracolumbar fracture is controversial. Injured vertebra pedicle screw fixation or traditional cross-segment pedicle screw fixation are controversial and lack the support of evidence-based medicine. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcomes of injured vertebra pedicle screw and cross-segment pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures. METHODS: According to Cochrane system evaluation, the folowing databases were retrieved: National Library of Medicine database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database and VIP database. Conference proceedings were searched by hand. The retrieval time ranged from 2005 to March 2015. Randomized controled trials were colected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Cochrane Colaboration Revman 4.2. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: By screening, a total of 14 clinical controled trials were selected, including 956 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that postoperative Cobb angle was improved significantly in the vertebral pedicle screw group than in the cross-segment pedicle screw fixation group (OR=-2.72, 95%CI:-3.08--2.35,P < 0.01). Correction rate of the vertebral height was higher in the vertebral pedicle screw group than in the cross-segment pedicle screw fixation group (OR=7.45, 95%CI:6.94-7.97,P < 0.01). The failure rate was lower in the vertebral pedicle screw group than in the cross-segment pedicle screw fixation group (OR=0.12, 95%CI: 0.05- 0.27,P < 0.01). Results verify that postoperative Cobb angle improved significantly after the injured vertebrae pedicle screw and cross-segment pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures. The height was obviously corrected and fewer complications were caused such as implant failure. The fixation effect was good.
