Objective:To explore the current situation of evidence-based practice competence of masters of nursing specialist at Class Ⅲ hospitals and its influencing factors so as to provide decision-making basis for optimizing the construction and educational management of clinical teaching base for masters of nursing specialist.Methods:From July to October 2021, 141 masters of nursing specialist of Class Ⅲ hospitals in Tianjin were selected as subjects by purposive sampling. All students were investigated with the Chinese version of Evidence Based Practice Evaluation Competence Questionnaire (EBP-COQ) and the Barriers to Research Utilization Scale. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:Among 141 masters of nursing specialist, the total scores of the EBP-COQ and the Barriers to Research Utilization Scale were 95.35 ± 11.90 and 72.52 ± 26.28 respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of evidence based practice competence of masters of nursing specialist included the results of availability and the awareness of evidence-based nursing ( r = -2.85, -2.41, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Masters of nursing specialist have the intermediate level of evidence-based practice competence and positive attitudes to evidence based practice, but their evidence-based knowledge and skills need to be improved. Clinical teaching base managers should pay attention to the training of evidence-based nursing practice ability of professional nursing master students, provide more supportive resources and environment, and promote the development of specialty nursing practice.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of couple-centered psychological intervention on breast cancer patients.Methods:Randomized controlled trials published in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, JBI, CNKI, Wanfang, Vip and CBM database on the effect of psychological intervention on breast cancer patients with husband and wife as the center were searched by computer. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to September 2020. Two reviewer independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and literature quality evaluation according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and Meta analysis was carried out using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 879 patients were included in 11 articles. Meta analysis results showed that the couple-centered psychological intervention not only improved the quality of life, but also improved the anxiety of breast cancer patients ( SMD=1.54, 95% CI 0.22-2.86, P=0.02) and depression ( SMD=1.22, 95% CI 0.12-2.33, P=0.03). Conclusions:After psychological intervention, the anxiety and depression of breast cancer patients were improved and the quality of life was also improved. Due to the inconsistency in the mode, frequency and evaluation index of psychological intervention, more large samples and high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effect of couple-centered psychological intervention on breast cancer patients and spouses centered on husband and wife.

Ivy sign, as a relatively specific sign in moyamoya disease, has certain clinical value for the diagnosis, preoperative evaluation, and prognostic evaluation of moyamoya disease. However the pathophysiological mechanism of ivy sign is still unclear and this phenomenon is affected by many factors. In this paper, the domestic and foreign literature about ivy sign of moyamoya disease was collected and analyzed and the correlation between different factors and ivy sign was summarized to provide a basis for further study on the correlation between ivy sign and various influencing factors.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of CT angiography (CTA) in investigating vascular dilatation of anterior choroidal artery (AChA) and posterior communicating artery (PComA) in patients with Moyamoya syndrome (MMS).Methods:From July 2017 to July 2018, the clinical and imaging data of MMS patients with brain CTA and DSA performed were analyzed retrospectively. According to DSA results, 71 MMS patients were divided into unilateral MMS group (20 cases, 20 hemispheres) and bilateral MMS group (51 cases, 102 hemispheres). There were 20 cases in unilateral MMS group, 10 males and 10 females, with an average age of (45±9) years; 51 cases in bilateral MMS group, 24 males and 27 females, with an average age of (44±12) years. The hemispheres were divided into dilated group and non-dilated group according to the dilatation of AChA or PComA. Kappa analysis was used to evaluate the consistency of two inspection methods to judge the expansion of AChA. The lumen diameters of PComA, P1 and P2 segments of posterior cerebral artery were measured on CTA images, and the ratio of PComA/P1 and PComA/P2 were calculated. The repeatability of CTA measures was evaluated by intra-group correlation coefficient. Independent sample t-test was used to compare CTA measurement results between PComA dilated group and non-dilated group, and ROC curve was drawn to calculate the best threshold for diagnosis of PComA expansion. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTA measures were calculated. Results:The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTA diagnosis of AChA expansion inunilateral MMS were all 100.00%. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CTA diagnosis of AChA expansionin bilateral MMS were 90.00%, 93.90%, 93.14%, 78.26% and 97.47%. Compared with DSA, there was no significant difference in the diagnostic performance of AChA expansion between single and bilateral MMS diagnosed by CTA ( P>0.05). The two methods had strong consistency (Kappa value was 1.00 and 0.79 respectively, P<0.01). A total of 46 patients (69 cerebral hemispheres) were included in the evaluation of PComA. PComA/P1 (1.09±0.41) and PComA/P2 (0.86±0.13) in the dilated group were significantly higher than those in the non-dilated group (0.71±0.21 for PComA/P1 and 0.75±0.23 for PComA/P2). The differences were statistically significant ( t=-4.59, -2.50, P<0.05). The best threshold in diagnosing PComA expansion was 0.87 (PComA/P1) and 0.76 (PComA/P2), and the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 84.62%, 83.33%, 84.06%, 86.84%, 80.65% and 79.49%, 60.00%, 71.01%, 72.09% and 69.23%, respectively. Compared with DSA, the Kappa value of CTA measures in diagnosis of PComA expansion was 0.68 (PComA/P1) and 0.40 (PComA/P2), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:CTA has a strong consistency with DSA in evaluating the AChA expansion in MMS. When the PComA/P1 ratio on CTA is greater than 0.87, it can be used as the diagnosis criterion for PComA expansion.

Objective:To investigate the association between indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase(IDO)expression in tumor tissue,its periph-eral blood activity, and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapyin patients with breast cancer. Methods: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)and high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)were used to measure IDO protein expression in tumor tissue,and kynuren-ine(Kyn),tryptophan(Trp),and IDO activity(Kyn/Trp)in peripheral blood before neoadjuvant chemotherapy in 53 patients with breast cancer from Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital between September 2015 and December 2016.The correlations between the expression and activity of IDO and the efficacy of chemotherapy were analyzed.Results:In tumor tissue,IDO expression-before neoadjuvant chemotherapy was related to clinical tumor stages(P=0.006),node stages(P=0.020),clinical stages(P=0.045),and estrogen receptor(ER)status(P=0.014).High IDO activity before neoadjuvant chemotherapy in peripheral blood was associated with high IDO expression in tumor tissue(P=0.004),and was also correlated with clinical tumor stages(P=0.019)and node stages(P=0.047). Univariate analysis showed that the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated with pre-chemotherapeutic clinical tumor stages(P=0.049),ER status(P=0.025),and molecular subtype(P=0.014),while pathologic complete response(pCR)was related to pre-chemotherapeutic clinical tumor stages(P=0.014).Importantly,the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and pCR were both related to IDO expression and activity before chemotherapy(all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that pre-chemotherapeu-tic IDO activity in peripheral blood was the only independent factor that affected pCR(P=0.032).Conclusions:Tumor tissue IDO expres-sion and peripheral blood IDO activity before chemotherapy were associated with chemotherapy efficacy,and could provide promising information for the clinical prediction of chemotherapy sensitivity.
