Objective: To investigate the pattern of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with locally advanced (T₃, T₄) laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LALSC) and provide reference for the delineation of clinical target volume. Methods: Clinical data of 272 patients with LALSC treated in our hospital from 2000 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent bilateral neck dissection (at least level Ⅱ-Ⅳ). The LNM ratio of each node level was calculated. The risk factors of LNM were identified by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results: LNM was found in 156 of 272 patients (57.1%). According to the location of primary lesions, all patients were divided into group A (n=72; unilateral without midline involvement), group B (n=86; unilateral with midline involvement) and group C (n=114; giant or central). In group A, the LNM ratio at ipsilateral level Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was 36.3%, 26.4% and 6.9%, whereas 13.9%, 8.3% and 1.4% at the contralateral level, respectively. In group B, the LNM ratio at ipsilateral level Ⅱ, Ⅲ and IV was 1.9%, 29.1% and 11.6%, whereas 18.6%, 14.0% and 1.2% at the contralateral level, respectively. In group C, the LNM ratio at the left neck level Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ was 24.6%, 23.7% and 2.6%, whereas 21.9%, 26.3% and 6.1% at the right neck, respectively. Bilateral LNM ratio did not significantly differ between group A and group B/C (15.3%, 25.0%, P=0.093). Ipsilateral level Ⅲ metastasis (OR=2.929, 95%CI 1.041-8.245, P=0.042) and clinical N stage (OR=0.082, 95%CI 0.018-0.373, P=0.001) were associated with contralateral LNM. Ipsilateral level Ⅱ(P=0.043) or Ⅲ(P=0.009) metastasis were risk factors of the ipsilateral level Ⅳ metastasis. Conclusions Neck levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ are the high-risk LNM regions, whereaslevels Ⅳ and V are the low-risk areas. Ipsilateral level Ⅱ or Ⅲ metastases are the risk factors of ipsilateral level Ⅳ and contralateral cervical LNM. Contralateral neck LNM rarely occurs in cN₀ stage patients.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of Tongbi capsule combined with acupuncture for the patients with knee osteoarthritis and explore the mechanism of inflammatory response and hemorrheology. Methods According to the random table method, 88 KOA patients in our hospital from February 2016 to January 2017 were divided into the control group and the research group with 44 in each group. Patients in the control group were treated bycelecoxib capsule, while the patients in the research group were treated by Tongbi capsule combined with acupuncture. The treatment courses of two groups were two months. The clinical total effective rate of two groups of patients were compared after treatment. At the same time, the osteoarthritis index visual scale (WOMAC) and morning stiffness, joint tenderness index score were detected and compared after the treatment.The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay before and after the treatment. The hemorheology indexes were tested by automatic biochemical analyzer. In addition, the incidence of adverse reactions of two groups of patients was observed during treatment. Results The clinical total effective rate of the research group was 93.18％ (41/44), which was significantly higher than the control group72.73％ (32/44), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=6.510, P=0.011). After treatment, the WOMAC (31.26 ± 6.12 vs. 36.17 ± 7.09, t=-3.477), joint tenderness index (1.75 ± 0.46 vs. 2.11 ± 0.54, t=-3.366) and morning stiffness score (1.62 ± 0.53 vs. 2.14 ± 0.51, t=-4.690) of the research group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α (7.36 ± 1.45 pg/ml vs. 8.02 ± 1.54 pg/ml, t=-2.070), IL-1β (27.82 ± 5.22 μg/ml vs. 33.05 ± 5.17 μg/ml, t=-4.722), IL-6 (2.81 ± 0.58 ng/ml vs. 3.34 ± 0.53 ng/ml, t=-4.475) of the research group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The whole blood high shear viscosity (12.09 ± 3.46 mPa?s vs. 14.22 ± 3.51 mPa?s, t=-2.867), whole blood low shear viscosity (2.53 ± 0.68 mPa?s vs. 3.32 ± 0.71 mPa?s, t=-5.330), whole blood viscosity (1.35 ± 0.29 mPa?s vs. 1.60 ± 0.41 mPa?s, t=-3.302), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (7.10 ± 2.06 mm/h vs. 8.02 ± 2.13 mm/h, t=-2.059), fibrinogen (2.71 ± 0.53 g/L vs. 3.42 ± 0.65 g/L, t=-5.615) and erythrocyte deformation index (0.57 ± 0.16 vs. 0.71 ± 0.19, t=-3.739) of the research group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions of control group was 11.37％ (5/44), while the incidence of adverse reactions of resarch group was 6.82％ (3/44), which the difference of the incidence of adverse reactions between two groups showed no statistical significance (χ2=0.550, P=0.458). Conclusions The Tongbi capsule combined with acupuncture can reduce the degree of inflammation, and also improve hemorheology indexes of KOA patients.

Objective: To investigate the association between sleep duration and frailty among people aged 50 years and over. Methods: Cross-sectional data was collected from the first wave of World Health Organization Study on global AGEing and adult health in China. Frailty index was constructed on the proportion of deficits, out of the 40 variables. A two-level (individual level and community level) linear model was performed to identify the related factors on frailty. All the models were stratified by age, gender, residence (urban/rural). Restricted cubic spline was performed to graphically evaluate the dose-response association between self-reported sleep duration and frailty. Results: A total of 13 175 individuals aged 50 years and over participated in this study. Without adjusting on any confounding factors, shorter or longer sleep duration significantly increased the risk of weakness compared with normal sleep time (OR=2.05, 95%CI: 1.71-2.44; OR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.12-1.63). After adjusting for confounding factors such as gender, age, residence, education, family assets, vegetable, smoking, drinking and physical activity, a positive association between short sleep duration and frailty was noticed compared with normal sleep time (aOR=1.60, 95%CI: 1.27-2.01). The results of stratified analysis on sex, age and urban and rural areas showed that, after adjusting for gender, age, residence, education level, family assets, intake of vegetables and fruits, smoking, drinking and physical activity, only shorter sleep duration was positively correlated with the risk of weakness. In addition, among people aged 65 years and over, adjusted for confounding factors, the risk of weakness increased by 91%, compared with normal sleep time (aOR=1.91, 95%CI: 1.46-2.49). The dose-response curve also showed that the sleep duration and frailty present an approximate "U" shaped relationship. Conclusion Short sleep duration might be associated with frailty.

Objective: To investigate the application of emergency medical service (EMS) of Hebei Province and preliminarily analyze its value in the treatment of acute stroke patients. Methods: We collected data of 4 147 acute stroke patients admitted to the Emergency Department between January 2016 and December 2016 in 49 hospitals of Hebei Province. Patients were divided into the EMS group and non-EMS group according to the pattern of arriving hospital. The general data, the onset-to-door time, door-to-treatment time, thrombolytic rate, length of hospital stay and prognosis were compared between the two groups. LSD-t test, Mann-Whitney U or Chi-squared test or Fisher exact test was used for statistical analysis as appropriate. Results: A total of 4 147 acute stroke patients were enrolled, including 589 patients (14.2%) with hemorrhagic stroke and 3 558 patients (85.8%) with ischemic stroke. A total of 750 patients (18.1%) were admitted to the hospital by EMS. The proportion of patients with hemorrhagic stroke who used EMS was higher than that of ischemic stroke (33.4% vs 15.5%, P<0.01). The median onset-to-foor time in the EMS group was less than that in the non-EMS group (1.75 h vs 4.57 h, P<0.01). The median time of onset-to-door time within 1 h in the EMS group was longer than that of the non-EMS group (0.67 h vs 0.53 h, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the two groups in 1-<2 h period and 2-<3 h period. The median time of onset-to-door time of ≥3 h in the EMS group was shorter than that of the non-EMS group (5.0 h vs 9.47 h, P<0.01). In the EMS group, the proportion of patients with onset-to-door time <3 h was higher than that of the non-EMS group (66.13% vs 57.44%, P<0.01). Compared with the non-EMS group, the time of door-to-treatment time was much shorter in the EMS group (87 min vs 101 min, P<0.01). The length of hospital stay in the EMS group was shorter than that of the non-EMS group [11 (7,14) days vs 12 (6,16) days, P<0.01]. In the EMS group, 15.9% patients received thrombolytic therapy, whereas only 11.0% patients in the non-EMS group received this therapy (P=0.001). In the EMS group, 88.8% patients achieved more favorable outcomes at discharge, which was higher than that in the non-EMS group (85.5%, P=0.02). Conclusions EMS is considered as effective in shortening onset-to-door time, reducing door-to-treatment time, improving thrombolytic rate, reducing hospitalization days, and enhancing the prognosis of acute stroke patients.

Objective: To explore the development trajectories of quality of life and acceptance of disability of burn patients in the rehabilitation treatment stage and the influencing factors. Methods: Totally 207 burn patients, including 157 males and 50 females, aged (40±13) years, who were in the rehabilitation treatment stage were selected by convenient sampling method from October 2016 to July 2017 in the Department of Burns of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital for this longitudinal study. At discharge and 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, the patient′s quality of life and acceptance of disability were scored using the Burn Specific Health Scale-Brief and Chinese Version of Acceptance of Disability Scale-Revised respectively. Taking the intercept, the slope, and the curve slope as latent variables, the latent second growth curve model was constructed for the quality of life and the acceptance of disability. The robust maximum likelihood estimation (MLR) method was used to estimate the mean, the variance, and the covariance, so as to analyze the discharge level, the growth rate, the acceleration, and the correlation among them. Taking the acceptance of disability, the gender, the cause of burn, the severity of burn, the existence of complications, the payment way, and the education level as covariates, the latent second growth curve model was constructed for the quality of life. The MLR method was used to estimate the influence of covariates on the discharge level, the growth rate, and the acceleration of the quality of life. Results: At discharge and 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, the quality of life scores of patients were (102±36), (111±36), (118±37), and (122±37) points respectively, and the acceptance of disability scores were (73±17), (75±17), (77±17), and (78±18) points respectively. The estimated mean intercept of the quality of life and the acceptance of disability were 101.680 and 72.993 respectively at discharge, both of which showed a curve increasing trend in 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge (estimated mean slope=11.024, 3.086, t=15.376, 7.476, P<0.01), and the increasing rate (acceleration) gradually slowed down (estimated mean curve slope=-1.393, -0.426, t=-13.339, -4.776, P<0.01). There were significant individual differences in the discharge level and the acceleration of quality of life of patients (estimated intercept variance=1 174.527, t=9.332; estimated curve slope variance=2.379, t=6.402; P<0.01). There were significant individual differences in the discharge level, the growth rate, and the acceleration of patients′ acceptance of disability (estimated intercept variance=267.017, t=9.262; estimated slope variance=32.264, t=2.356; estimated curve slope variance=0.882, t=2.939; P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was no significant correlation among the discharge level, the growth rate, and the acceleration of the quality of life and those of the acceptance of disability of patients (estimated intercept and slope=37.273, -1.457, t=0.859, -0.131; estimated intercept and curve slope=-6.712, -0.573, t=-1.089, -0.248; estimated slope and curve slope=-5.494, -5.988, t=-0.930, -2.512; P>0.05). Among the time-constant covariates, only the severity of burn and the presence of complications had a significant impact on the quality of life of patients at discharge (estimated intercept=-10.721, 5.522, t=-6.229, 1.977, P<0.05 or P<0.01). At discharge and 1, 3, and 6 months after discharge, the level of acceptance of disability had a positive impact on the quality of life of patients (standardized regression coefficient=0.616, 0.669, 0.681, 0.678, t=18.874, 21.660, 22.824, 22.123, P<0.01). Conclusions The initial levels of quality of life and acceptance of disability of burn patients in the rehabilitation treatment stage are relatively low, both with a curve increasing trend over time, and the increasing rate gradually slows down. Patients with complications and serious burns have poor quality of life at discharge, while the acceptance of disability has a positive impact on the quality of life.

Objective: To discuss the effect of self-efficacy on patients with coronary heart disease cured in general practice department based on Hospital-Community-Patient Integrated Nursing Mode. Methods: From January to April in 2018, 106 patients (51 males and 55 females) with coronary heart disease hospitalized in general practice of hospital were selected as subjects of study. Random number table method was used to divide the patients into control group and intervention group, 53 cases in each group. The intervention group adopted the hospital-community-patient integrated nursing model, while the control group adopted the traditional health education mode after discharge. Self-efficacy evaluation was conducted before intervention, 3 months after intervention and 6 months after intervention. Results: The total score of self-efficacy in the two groups was higher than that before intervention, but the increase in the intervention group was significantly better than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (F=34.681, P < 0.01). The total scores of self-efficacy in intervention group were(30.35±2.58), (33.59±2.68) points respectively 3 months and 6 months after intervention, which were higher than (28.95±2.42), (29.10±2.12) points in control group. The difference was significant (t = 3.702, 13.494, P < 0.01). Conclusion Hospital-community-patient integrated nursing model is superior to traditional health education model after discharge, which can significantly improve the self-efficacy of patients with coronary heart disease discharged from general practice department.
