Objective: To understand the incidence and influencing factors of postoperative constipation in patients with malignant tumors who undergo oral and maxillofacial surgery and construct a constipation risk prediction model to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of postoperative constipation. Methods: The data of 191 patients who underwent oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery at the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Sun Yat sen University from June 2019 to June 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The independent influencing factors were selected via univariate analysis and logistic multivariate regression analysis, a risk prediction nomogram was established, and the prediction model was evaluated by the area under the ROC curve. Both internal and external use the C index to verify the accuracy of the model. Results : Among 191 patients, 52 (27.23%) had postoperative constipation. Univariate analysis showed that a preoperative secret history of defecation, total energy intake, tracheotomy, smoking, drinking, operation duration, bleeding volume, bed time, eating homogenate diet, sex, surgical repair method, use of probiotics, T-stage of cancer and food intake may be the influencing factors of postoperative constipation in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that repair method, bed time and sex were independent risk factors for postoperative constipation in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors (P<0.05). The repair method was a fibular myocutaneous flap with a long bed time, and male patients were prone to constipation after surgery. The c-index values in the training group and the verification group were 0.882 and 0.953, respectively. The area under the ROC curve of the training group was 0.909 (95%CI: 0.850-0.968), and the area under the ROC curve of the verification group was 0.893 (95%CI: 0.787-0.999). The nomogram showed good discrimination ability. Conclusion The repair method, bed time and sex are independent risk factors for postoperative constipation in patients with oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors. The risk prediction model has good discrimination ability.

Objective:To conduct a longitudinal study on different social support needs of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at different stages undergoing emergency PCI based on timing it right framework combined with multidimensional model of social support, so as to provide reference for the implementation of accurate nursing.Methods:Using the interpretative phenomenological research method, a total of 21 emergency PCI patients from Department of Cardiology in two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Taiyuan were selected from December 2019 to July 2020 by the purposive sampling method. According to the course of the disease, 4 semi-structured interviews were conducted on the patients, combined with participatory observation. The interpretive phenomenological analysis method was used to analyze the data, and the social support multi-dimensional model was used to classify the results.Results:A total of 23 themes were extracted. The information support requirements of each phase were in order of diagnosis and risk, AMI and PCI related knowledge, medical notification rights, individualized paper discharge guidance, causes of discomfort and first aid knowledge (the latter two phases were the same) . The tool support requirements for each phase were emergency medical services, advanced stents and emergency PCI technology, green channels, economic support and mobile health care resources (the latter two phases were the same) . The emotional support needs of each stage included companionship and sense of security, acceptance and encouragement, psychological adjustment and construction (the same in the next phase) and strengthening independence. The social network support needs of each stage included the assistance of strangers to send to the hospital, the virtue and skill of medical staff, peer support, and reintegration into society (the latter three stages were the same) . The need for self-esteem support in each period was believing that they can survive, taking care of themselves as much as possible, keeping their illness confidential, receiving recognition for their recovery and giving back to others.Conclusions:The social support needs of emergency PCI patients change with the course of the disease. It is recommended that medical staff adopt a dynamic and continuous care concept, establish and improve a framework of social support needs that meets the local humanities, so as to facilitate education, evaluation and intervention.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of children with anti-N-methyl--aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis and to provide a basis for early clinical identification of this disease. METHODS: The clinical data of 42 cases of anti-NMDAR encephalitis at Department of Pediatrics, Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University from January 2015 to March 2018 were collected. The clinical features and followed-up outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: There were 15 cases (35.7%) of males and 27 cases (64.3%) of females in 42 children, with a ratio of 1꞉1.8. They were aged from 4 months to 17 years, with an average of (9.20±4.66) years. The most common initial symptoms were seizures (47.6%, 20/42) and mental behavior disorder (35.7%, 15/42). During the course of the disease, 85.7% patients(36/42) had mental and behavior disorder, 85.7% patients (36/42) had epilepsy, 76.2% (32/42) had speech disorder, 66.7% patients (28/42) had dyskinesia, 66.7% patients (28/42) had the decreased level of consciousness, 61.9% patients (26/42) had autonomic instability, and 57.1% (24/42) patients had sleep disorder. All the children had positive antibody against NMDA receptor resistance encephalitis in cerebrospinal fluid. Head MRI showed the abnormal incidence was 50.0% (21/42), and the lesions involved in parietal lobe, frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, midbrain, thalamus, basal ganglia and optic nerve. There was a patient with optic nerve damage combined with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody positive. Forty cases were examined by electroencephalogram (EEG), 92.5% cases (37/40) were abnormal, mainly showing diffuse slow waves, and δ brushes could be seen in severe cases. And there was 1 patient (2.4%) complicated with mesenteric teratoma. The mRS score (2.14±1.46) at discharge was significantly lower than the highest mRS score (3.88±1.38) during hospitalization (<0.05). After 3-39 months of follow-up, mRS score at 3 months after discharge was only 0.81±1.29, which was still improved compared with that at discharge, 76.2% cases (32/42) experienced complete or near-complete recovery (mRS score≤2), and 4.8% (2/42) cases relapsed. There was no mortality; the initial time of immunotherapy and the highest mRS score in the course of the disease were the factors affecting the prognosis. The earlier the starting time for immunotherapy and the lower mRS score in the course of the disease were, the better the prognosis was. CONCLUSIONS Seizures, mental and behavior disorder, dyskinesias, speech disorder and autonomic instability are common clinical manifestations of anti-NMDAR encephalitis in children. The effect of immunotherapy is significant, and the time to start immunotherapy and the severity of the disease are important factors affecting the prognosis. Anti-NMDAR encephalitis can be combined with other autoantibodies, but its clinical significance and mechanism need further study.

Objective:To preliminarily discuss the mechanism of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Rrhizoma alismatis in the prevention and treatment of lipid metabolism through regulating the imbalance of fibrinolytic system in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver. Methods:The model of non-alcoholic fatty liver in rats was duplicated by high-fat diet feeding. Totally 60 adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=10 per group), namely the control group, the model group, Salvia miltiorrhiza group, Rrhizoma alismatis group, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Rrhizoma alismatis group,and Dongbaogantai group. The control group and the model group were given distilled water,and the other group was given Salvia miltiorrhiza,Rrhizoma alismatis,Salvia miltiorrhiza combined with Rrhizoma alismatis and Dongbaogantai,respectively. Rhizoma Alismatis decoction at high dose and low dose as well as Dongbaogantai was respectively adminis-trated in the designed groups,and the corresponding indices were detected 4 weeks later. Results:In the model control group,the con-tents of TC、TG、FFA in serum and the expression of PAI-1 were significantly elevated(P<0.05 or P<0.01),while the expression of t-PA was significantly reduced(P<0.01).After treatment,the contents of TC、TG、FFA in serum and the expression of PAI-1 in every treatment groups were reduced(P<0.01),while the expression of t-PA was elevated(P<0.01).Conclusion: Increasing the expres-sion of t-PA and reducing the expression of PAI-1 might be viewed as the mechanisms of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Rrhizoma alismatis in the prevention and treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications(PPC)in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery to establish a nomogram model to predict the risk of PPC.Methods From January 2014 to October 2017,316 patients undergoing lung cancer surgery at Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University were enrolled in this study.Their clinical data were analyzed and univariate analysis was used to determine the risk factors related to PPC.The significant variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis to analyze the independent risk factors for PPC.Then the R software was used to establish a predictive nomogram model.Bootstrap method was used to validate the nomogram model and ROC curve was used to explore the predictive efficacy of the model in predicting the PPC.Results A total of 55 cases out of 316 patients undergoing lung cancer surgery had PPC.The prevalence rate was 17.4%.Age(OR=1.151,95%CI 1.041-1.274),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)(OR=3.659,95%CI 1.498-8.939),smoking index(OR=1.171,95%CI 1.055-1.300),pN stage(N1:OR=6.686,95%CI 1.959-22.814;N2:OR=7.714,95%CI 2.390-24.900;N3:OR=15.943,95%CI 4.318-58.869)and the poor compliance of breathing exercise(OR=1.298,95%CI 1.031-1.635)were all independent risk factors for PPC.The nomogram model showed a conformance-index of 0.841,while ROC curve showed that the area under the curve for the nomogram model predicting pressure sores was 0.820(95%CI:0.760-0.881).Conclusions The nomogram built based on age,COPD,smoking index,pN stage,and the poor compliance of breathing exercises has good discrimination and accuracy which could be used for predicting individual PPC risk and screening the patients with high risk,with potentially high clinical application value.

Objective To establish the effect of curcumin on PTX-resistant esophageal cancer cell line EC9706/PTX and to investigate the mechanism of curcumin on the epithelial stromalization (EMT) of EC9706/PTX cells.Methods EC9706/PTX cells were established by medium concentration intermittent method.The drug resistance index and cross resistance were measured by MTT assay.The inhibitory effects of different concentrations of curcumin on EC9706/PTX cell proliferation were detected.The effects of curcumin on the morphological changes,migration and invasion of EC9706/PTX cells were examined by cytostatic staining,scratching and transwell invasion assay.The effects of curcumin on the expression of E-cadherin,N-cadherin,vimentin and fibronectin in EC9706/PTX cells at mRNA and protein levels were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot.The effect of curcumin on the expressions of NF-κB p65 and Snail in EC9706/PTX cells were detected by Western blot.Results The drug resistance index of EC9706/PTX was 28.4,which was cross-resistant to cisplatin and doxorubicin.Curcumin could inhibit the proliferation of EC9706/PTX cells.The migration and invasion of EC9706/PTX cells were significantly decreased under the action of curcumin at 20 μmol/L concentration.Fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis showed that the expression of Ecadherin was down-regulated and the expression of N-cadherin was up-regulated,and curcumin reversed this phenomenon.Western blot analysis showed that the expression of NF-κB p65 and Snail protein was enhanced after PTX-resistant generated in EC cell,but curcumin reversed this phenomenon.Conclusion Curcumin can inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasion of EC9706/PTX cells.The mechanism maybe that curcumin inhibits the NF-κB-Snail pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of isoliquiritigenin on the invasive ability of human gastric carcinoma SGC7901 cells, and its molecular mechanisms thereof. Methods The logarithmic phase human gastric carcinoma SGC7901 cells were divided into control group (normal cell culture fluid) and isoliquiritigenin group (isoliquiritigenin solu?ble in cell culture fluid, the concentrations were 10, 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L respectively). Each group had four repeated holes. The proliferation of SGC7901 cells were detected with MTT assay after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h of culture. The experimen?tal drug concentration and action time were researched for the subsequent experiments. The in vitro invasion abilities of SGC7901 cells were assessed with Transwell test. The expression levels of MMP9, Akt and P-Akt were detected by Western blot assay. Results The proliferation of SGC7901 cells were inhibited by 10μmol/L isoliquiritigenin, which can be signifi?cantly inhibited by 25, 50 and 100μmol/L isoliquiritigenin in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. The half inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 24, 48 and 72 h were 52.48, 44.49 and 32.50μmol/L, respectively. Therefore, the 25, 50 and 100μmol/L isoliquiritigenin were selected as the subsequent experimental drug concentration, and 24 h was used as the action time. Compared with the control group (209.75±9.29), the membrane cell number of 25μmol/L (138.50±10.15), 50μmol/L (89.50 ± 16.56) and 100μmol/L (45.00 ± 8.08) decreased gradually (F=267.948,P<0.05). There was no signifi?cant difference in the expression level of Akt protein between four groups (F=1.492). The expression levels of P-Akt and MMP9 were gradually decreased with the increase of the isoliquirigenin concentration (F=359.219 and 431.324,P<0.05). Conclusion Isoliquiritigenin can obviously inhibit invasion ability of SGC7901 cells, which may be related to the down reg?ulation of the signal transduction pathway protein PI3K/Akt and the down steam protein MMP9.
