Objective:To provide references for the application of finite element model in the study of cervical vertebra by statistically analysing the frequency, numerical value, properties, and boundary setting of the finite element model and the corresponding material features as well as boundary settings in the literature.Methods:The literature on cervical vertebra-related finite element models was collected from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases from January 2013 to December 2023. The quality assessment was followed by manual screening. The data sources, application classification, material properties (Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio), and boundary conditions of cervical vertebra, cervical intervertebral, and cervical ligaments were statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 102 papers were included. The finite element models of the cervical vertebra were derived from medical image reconstruction modeling techniques, predominantly CT plain scan and magnetic resonance imaging. Among the 102 cervical vertebra models, the C3-C7 (lower cervical segment) model appeared with the highest frequency (19). The Young’s modulus of the cortical bone, cancellous bone, and posterior structure of cervical vertebrae were set at about 12 000 or 10 000, 440, and 3 600 MPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios were mainly set at about 0.29 or 0.30, 0.29, and 0.29. The Young’s modulus of the cervical intervertebral disc endplate, nucleus pulposus, and annulus fibrosus were concentrated around 500 or 2 000, 1, and 100 MPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios were set at about 0.40, 0.50, and 0.40, respectively. The Young’s modulus of the anterior longitudinal ligament, posterior longitudinal ligament, transverse ligament, ligamentum flavum, interspinous ligament, capsular ligament, and articular cartilage of the cervical spine were set around 30, 20, 20, 6-10, 4-8, 10 or 20, 10 MPa, and the Poisson’s ratios were set at aoubt 0.30, 0.30, 0.30, 0.30, 0.30, 0.40, and 0.30, respectively. The Young’s modulus of the upper cervical interdental ligament, lamina, cruciate ligament, nuchal ligament, and pterygoid ligament were set at about 10, 10, 10 or 20, 20, and 5 MPa, respectively, and the Poisson’s ratios were set at about 0.30. Head weight settings were more common at 50, 74, and 100 N.Conclusions:The finite element model of the cervical vertebra has great value in the study of cervical spondylosis, but further optimization is still needed in the assignment of material properties, mesh division, and model verification to improve the accuracy and clinical applicability of the model.

Objective:To explore the inner experience of self-management of adverse drug reactions in patients with oral chemotherapy at home, so as to provide a basis for medical staff to better implement home supervision of patients.Methods:This study was a qualitative study. The purposive sampling method was used to select 12 patients with gastrointestinal tumors who were admitted to Department of Oncology of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Nanjing from April to May 2021 and were required to take oral chemotherapy drugs at home for semi-structured in-depth interviews. Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method was used to analyze and summarize the interview data.Results:A total of 3 themes and 7 sub-themes were extracted from the inner experience of self-management of adverse drug reactions in patients with oral chemotherapy at home. Theme one was the perception of self-management of adverse drug reactions in patients undergoing oral chemotherapy at home. This included anxiety and fear in the face of adverse reactions and ambivalence in seeking to communicate with medical staff. The topic two was the attitude and behavior of self-management of adverse drug reactions in patients with home-based oral chemotherapy drugs. This included insufficient attention to active review of adverse effects of myelosuppression and a lack of ability to identify adverse drug reactions. The topic three was the motivation and needs of self-management of adverse drug reactions in patients with home-based oral chemotherapy. The family's careful care provided strong support, the convenience of mobile communication relieved the patient's troubles and there was a need for information and knowledge of the adverse reactions of oral chemotherapy drugs.Conclusions:Medical staff need to strengthen drug knowledge education and psychological care for gastrointestinal tumor patients taking oral chemotherapy drugs at home and build a mobile information platform to improve their self-management capabilities.
