A rapid growth and steady expansion has been witnessed in hospice care with initial effects in recent years, however, there are significant differences in practice among different regions, and a systematic and comprehensive summary and analysis are needed. Based on the consolidated framework for implementation research, this paper comprehensively analyzes and summarizes the implementation status of hospice care services from five aspects, including innovation, external setting, internal setting, individual characteristics and implementation process. This paper finds that the main factors contributing to the implementation of this service are the varied and individualized services, active implementation of training, clear division of labor among multidisciplinary teams, diversified service models, and emphasis on service publicity. The main challenges faced by the service are insufficient internal and external incentives, insufficient resources available for manpower and medicines, the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of service providers needs to be improved, the service process needs to be harmonized, and the quality evaluation system needs to be improved. Relevant institutions at all levels should work together to play a positive role in facilitating factors, overcome obstacles, and further promote the development of hospice care in China.

Objective To assess the safety and therapeutic impact of propofol target-controlled infusion combined with alfentanil for vocal polyp excision.Methods From January 2023 to January 2024,vocal polyp ectomy removal surgery patients 80 cases in Ganzhou People's Hospital's were selected and randomly assigned into group A(40 cases)and group F(40 cases).In the anesthetic induction sequence,the two subject groups in the clinical trial had their propofol plasma target concentration set at 3.5μg/ml.Rocuronium bromide was administered at a dosage of 0.6mg/kg,followed by a slow and careful injection.In group F,this was succeeded by an injection of fentanyl at 3μg/kg.In contrast,group A received an intravenous injection of alfentanil at a dosage of 20μg/kg.In both groups,tracheal intubation was executed when muscle relaxation had been achieved.Monitoring and documentation of hemodynamic fluctuations during the perioperative stages.Records were kept for the procedure's conclusion time,the time frame for regaining consciousness and extubation,and any adverse effects experienced.Results While the contrast of mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)between two groups at each time point from To to T4 were statistically non-significant(P＞0.05).Compared with preoperative baseline(To),MAP and HR were lower in both groups at all time points within group at T1,T2,T3 and T4(P＜0.05),the within-group examination of these parameters across time points and their interactions did show quantifiable differences(P＜0.05).The interval from regaining consciousness to extubation was shorter in group A than that in group F(P＜0.05).Additionally,the quantity of propofol and the number of unanticipated effects were diminished in group A than those in group F(P＜0.05).Conclusion In the context of vocal polypectemy,the administration of propofol via a targeted infusion combined with alfentanil maintains hemodynamic stability,minimizes propofol dosing in contrast to fentanyl,and is linked to faster awakening times and a lower occurrence of adverse effects.

Objective:To investigate the value of the combined ultrasound imaging radiomics model for predicting progression-free survival in endocrine therapy for prostate cancer.Methods:A total of 283 prostate cancer patients who received endocrine treatment at the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People′s Hospital and the First Hospital of Hohhot from July 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively collected, of which 198 patients from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People′s Hospital were randomly divided into the training set and the validation set according to the ratio of 7∶3, and 85 patients from the First Hospital of Hohhot served as an independent external test set. They were classified into a progression group and a non-progression group based on whether the patients progressed to desmoplasia-resistant prostate cancer 18 months after the start of endocrine treatment.Based on the two-dimensional ultrasound images, the imaging radiomics features were extracted and the imaging radiomics score (Rad-score) were constructed, the immunopathology and other clinical data were analysed, and three prediction models were constructed using logistic regression: the clinical model, the ultrasonography model, and the ultrasonography-clinical combined model, respectively. The predictive efficacy and clinical utility of the models were assessed by the ROC curves and clinical decision curves.Results:Five ultrasonographic features were included in the ultrasound model; the prostate-specific antigen nadir, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio before treatment, and the expression level of tumour proliferating cell nuclear antigen 67 (Ki-67) were incorporated into the clinical model; and the Rad score computed from the output of the ultrasound model for the screening features, together with the prostate-specific antigen nadir (PSA nadir), the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) before treatment, and the expression level of Ki-67 were used to construct the ultrasound-clinical joint model. The joint model achieved the highest predictive performance in both the training and validation sets of the three groups of models, with the area under the curve of 0.85 and 0.84, and the clinical decision curve showed good clinical benefit.Conclusions:The combined ultrasound-clinical model constructed in this study based on two-dimensional ultrasound images of prostate cancer before endocrine therapy can predict progression-free survival of endocrine therapy for prostate cancer more accurately.

He was diagnosed as prostate adenocarcinoma before operation. He underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Postoperative pathological examination showed mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate. The patient was followed up for six months. Imaging showed no signs of recurrence and metastasis with normal tPSA.

The aim of this study was to construct a recombinant adenovirus expressing extracellular domain gene of human epidermal growth factor receptor variant Ⅲ (EGFRvIII ECD), and to prepare single domain antibody targeting EGFRvIII ECD by immunizing camels and constructing phage display antibody library. Total RNA was extracted from human prostate cancer cell line PC-3 cells and reversely transcribed into cDNA. EGFRvIII ECD gene was amplified using cDNA as template, and ligated into pAdTrack-CMV plasmid vector and transformed into E. coli BJ5183 competent cells containing pAdEasy-1 plasmid for homologous recombination. The recombinant adenovirus expressing EGFRvIII ECD was obtained through transfecting the plasmid into HEK293A cells. The recombinant adenovirus was used to immunize Bactrian camel to construct EGFRvIII ECD specific single domain antibody library. The single domain antibody was obtained by screening the library with EGFRvIII protein and the antibody was expressed, purified and identified. The results showed that recombinant adenovirus expressing EGFRvIII ECD was obtained. The capacity of EGFRvIII specific phage single domain antibody library was 1.4×10⁹. After three rounds of enrichment and screening, thirty-one positive clones binding to EGFRvIII ECD were obtained by phage-ELISA, and the recombinant single domain antibody E14 with highest OD₄₅₀ value was expressed and purified. The recombinant E14 antibody can react with EGFRvIII ECD with high affinity in ELISA assessment. The results indicated that the EGFRvIII specific single domain antibody library with high capacity and diversity was constructed and the single domain antibody with binding activity to EGFRvIII was obtained by screening the library. This study may facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of EGFRvIII targeted malignant tumors in the future.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of bone cement leakage after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF).Methods:A multi-center, large-sample, case-control study was carried out to analyze the clinical data of 2 273 OVCF patients (2 689 vertebrae) undergone PVP at four hospitals between May 2018 and October 2021, including 994 males and 1 279 females, with the age of 52-91 years [(69.1±3.1)years]. Of all, 581 patients (604 vertebrae) were allocated to leakage group and 1 692 patients (2 085 vertebrae) to no leakage group according to the occurrence of bone cement leakage. The gender, age, fracture sites, vertebral compression degree, endplate integrity of fractured vertebrae, surgical segments, surgical approaches and bone cement injection volume were recorded. Univariate analysis was used to investigate the correlation between those indicators with bone cement leakage. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for bone cement leakage.Results:Univariate analysis showed that gender, age, fracture sites, vertebral compression degree, bone cement injection volume were related to bone cement leakage after PVP ( P<0.05 or 0.01), but no correlation was found in the endplate integrity of fractured vertebrae, surgical segments and surgical approaches (all P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that fracture sites ( OR=1.68, 95% CI 1.11-2.55, P<0.05), vertebral compression degree more than 40% ( OR=1.98, 95% CI 1.29-3.02, P<0.01), bone cement injection volume greater than or equal to 5.5 ml ( OR=1.55, 95% CI 1.07-2.26, P<0.05) were significantly associated with bone cement leakage after PVP. Conclusion:Thoracic vertebral fracture, vertebral compression degree more than 40% and bone cement injection volume greater than or equal to 5.5 ml are independent risk factors for bone cement leakage after PVP in OVCF.
