To investigate the effects of phosphorus fertilizer on the morphological traits, active ingredients and rhizosphere soil microbial community of Polygala tenuifolia. The phosphorus fertilizer was calculated in terms of P_2O_5. Five treatments were set up: 0(CK), 17(P1), 34(P2), 51(P3), and 68(P4) kg per Mu(1 Mu≈667 m~2). A randomized block design was adopted. Samples of P. tenuifolia and its rhizosphere soil were collected under different superphosphate fertilizer treatments. Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the rhizosphere soil microbial community, 9 morphological traits were measured and the content of 11 active ingredients were determined. The results showed that the whole plant weight, shoot fresh weight, root weight, and root peel thickness were the highest under P1 treatment, increasing by 34.41%, 38.80%, 39.21%, and 3.17% respectively compared to CK. Under P2 treatment, the plant height, stem diameter, root thickness, and core thickness were significantly higher than CK. Phosphorus fertilizer had a significant impact on the content of tenuifolin, sibiricose A5, sibiricose A6, arillanin A, 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, and polygalaxanthone Ⅲ. Correlation analysis results showed that the relative abundance of Arthrobacter, Bacillus, norank＿f＿Vicinamibacteraceae, norank＿o＿Vicinamibacterales, MND1 and other bacteria, as well as the relative abundance of Neocosmospora, Paraphoma and other fungi were positively correlated with root diameter, wood core diameter, the whole plant weight, root weight, shoot fresh weight of P. tenuifolia. Bacillus, Neocosmospora, Subulicystidium were significantly positively correlated with oligosaccharides such as 3,6'-disinapoyl sucrose, sibiricose A5、sibiricose A6、glomeratose A、arillanin A and tenuifoliside C. Arthrobacter, Humicola, Aspergillus, Paraphoma were positively correlated with tenuifolin and norank＿f＿Vicinamibacteraceae, norank＿o＿Vicinamibacterales, Fusarium were positively correlated with polygalaxanthone Ⅲ. Evidently, appropriate phosphorus application is conducive to the growth and quality improvement of P. tenuifolia, and can increase the abundance of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.

Objective:To explore the association between self-perception of aging and physical activity in elderly colorectal cancer patients, so as to provide reference for clinical physical activity intervention programs.Methods:From July 2022 to March 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 234 colorectal cancer patients in three Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Jinan, Shandong Province as participants. Cross-sectional survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Brief Ageing Perceptions Questionnaire (B-APQ), and Physical Activity Measurement Scale for Cancer Patients. Multiple linear regression was used to explore the influencing factors of physical activity in elderly patients with colorectal cancer.Results:A total of 234 questionnaires were distributed, and 221 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 94.44% (221/234). Among 221 elderly patients with colorectal cancer, the score of B-APQ was (46.28±11.89), and physical activity was 52.50 (30.00, 77.75) hours per week. Multiple linear regression showed that self-perception of aging, regular physical activity before illness, self-evaluation of physical health, and disease stage were the influencing factors of physical activity in elderly colorectal cancer patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Elderly patients with colorectal cancer tend to have a negative perception of aging and low levels of physical activity. Medical and nursing staff should attach importance to the assessment and intervention of patients' self-perception of aging to improve their physical activity.

Objective Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and tuberculosis (TB) are major public health and social issues worldwide. The long-term follow-up of COVID-19 with pulmonary TB (PTB) survivors after discharge is unclear. This study aimed to comprehensively describe clinical outcomes, including sequela and recurrence at 3, 12, and 24 months after discharge, among COVID-19 with PTB survivors. Methods From January 22, 2020 to May 6, 2022, with a follow-up by August 26, 2022, a prospective, multicenter follow-up study was conducted on COVID-19 with PTB survivors after discharge in 13hospitals from four provinces in China. Clinical outcomes, including sequela, recurrence of COVID-19, and PTB survivors, were collected via telephone and face-to-face interviews at 3, 12, and 24 months after discharge. Results Thirty-two COVID-19 with PTB survivors were included. The median age was 52 (45, 59) years, and 23 (71.9％) were men. Among them, nearly two-thirds (62.5％) of the survivors were moderate, three (9.4％) were severe, and more than half (59.4％) had at least one comorbidity (PTB excluded). The proportion of COVID-19 survivors with at least one sequela symptom decreased from 40.6％ at 3 months to 15.8％ at 24 months, with anxiety having a higher proportion over a follow-up. Cough and amnesia recovered at the 12-month follow-up, while anxiety, fatigue, and trouble sleeping remained after 24 months. Additionally, one (3.1％) case presented two recurrences of PTB and no re-positive COVID-19 during the follow-up period. Conclusion The proportion of long symptoms in COVID-19 with PTB survivors decreased over time, while nearly one in six still experience persistent symptoms with a higher proportion of anxiety. The recurrence of PTB and the psychological support of COVID-19 with PTB after discharge require more attention.

Objective:To explore the optimum time of ambulation of atrial fibrillation patients after radiofrequency ablation, to provide basis for patients' early postoperative rehabilitation.Methods:By convenient sampling method, a total of 120 patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation were collected at Yanghu Branch and City Branch of Changzhou Second People's Hospital from January 2020 to May 2021. They were divided into the early group, middle group and late group according to the random number table method, each group were 40 cases. All patients received routine postoperative intervention, the time of ambulation were 4, 6 and 12 h after operation in the early group, middle group and late group, respectively. The complication rate within 24 h after operation was compared among the three groups, and the comfort level of the three groups at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation was evaluated with Comfort Status Scale (GCQ).Results:Finally, 111 patients were included, including 37 in the early group, 38 in the middle group and 36 in the late group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding or hematoma, urinary retention, lumbago within 24 h after operation among the three groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postural hypotension within 24 h after operation in the early group was 2.7% (1/37), which was lower than 21.1% (7/38) and 25.0% (9/36) in the middle and late groups, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.86, 7.67, both P<0.05). At 48 and 72 h after operation, the scores of physiological dimension, psychological dimension and the total score of GCQ in the early group were (20.68 ± 3.07), (22.54 ± 3.35), (81.68 ± 6.11) and (22.54 ± 3.73), (24.38 ± 2.49), (84.92 ± 6.37), higher than those in the middle group (19.16 ± 2.19), (21.32 ± 2.27), (78.24 ± 5.58), (20.93 ± 2.85), (22.32 ± 2.04), (81.66 ± 6.56), and those in the late group (18.44 ± 1.50) (21.31 ± 1.99), (78.06 ± 4.32), (20.89 ± 2.25), (21.58 ± 1.86), (80.28 ± 6.44), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.19-4.15, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Ambulation at 4 h after operation does not increase peripheral vascular complications, but can reduce the incidence of postural hypotension and improve the comfort of patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation.

Objective To explore the influence of different fixation times on chromosome test drops' slides. Methods The test included four groups: I, II, III and IV, which had fixation times of 10, 20, 40 and 60min, respectively. All the four groups were subject to same experimental procedure except for the different fixed time. All the samples were fixed once in the course of sample process. The good chromosomal staining rate (%), good mitotic phase rate (%), chromosome aberration rate (%) and average number of mitotic phases per field of view were calculated and compared among the different groups. Results The rate of good chromosome staining in group II was significantly different compared with that in group I (P < 0.01), but not statistically significant compared with that in group III (P>0.05). The rate of good chromosome staining in group IV was statistically significantly different compared with that in group III (P < 0.01). The rate of good chromosome mitotic phase in group II was statistically significantly different compared with that in group I (P<0.01), but not with that in group III (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference between group IV and group III in the rate of good chromosome mitotic phase (P>0.05). The average number of chromosome division phase per field of view in group II was not statistically significantly different compared with that in group I (P > 0.05), nor was it statistically significant compared with that in group III (P>05). The average number of chromosome division phase per field in group IV was statistically significant compared with that in group III (P < 0.05). The chromosome aberration rate of the four groups was 0%. The short fixation time and thick cytoplasm were not conducive to the dispersion of chromosomes. The excessively deep blue background was also not conducive to the observation and identification of chromosomes. Additionally, individual chromosomes were not easy to be completely stained under deep blue background. On the contrary, if the fixed time was long, the chromosome was scattered and lost, which easily led to the reduction of mitotic phase. Conclusion In the chromosome test, the fixation time has an influence on chromosome dispersion, staining and the number of mitotic phases. Short fixation time is not conducive to chromosome dispersion and staining, while long fixation time reduces the number of mitotic phases, and also waste time, manpower, and material resources.
