Objective:To investigate the intention to participate in health care in transitional children and adolescents with diabetes and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From March to October 2021, 185 children and adolescents with diabetes were selected as research subjects by convenience sampling method from People′s Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University. General data questionnaire, Participation in Health Care Intention Questionnaire, Health Literacy Scale and Diabetes Self-management Scale were used to investigate, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the population′s intention to participate in health care.Results:The transitional children and adolescents with diabetes participation in health care intention total score was (124.87 ± 16.31) points, the health literacy total score was (33.70 ± 4.38) points, diabetes self-management total score was (35.11 ± 5.19) points. The regression analysis found that age, course of the disease, diabetes type, family structure modes, health literacy, and self-management ability were the main factors influencing adolescents involved in health care intention ( t values were -1.99-2.66, all P<0.05), including health literacy ability and disease management ability was positively correlated with the disease ( r = 0.250, 0.232, both P<0.01). Conclusions:The transitional children and adolenscents with diabetes have a medium level of intention to participate in health care. The transitional children and adolenscents with older age, longer disease course and nuclear family structure had higher levels of health care intention. The higher the level of health literacy and self-management, the higher the level of intention to participate in health care, medical staff should take targeted measures to improve the intention to participate in health care, promote this group to improve disease management ability and quality of life.

Background/Aims:
Metabolic risk factors could accelerate hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related mortality; however, their impacts on disease severity in HBV-related acute on chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) patients remain unexplored. In this study, we assessed the effects of metabolic risk factors on the outcome of HBV-ACLF patients.
Methods:
This study retrospectively enrolled antiviral therapy naïve HBV-ACLF patients from a single center in China. Patients were evaluated according to Child-Turcotte-Pugh score, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, 30-day, 90-day mortality and survival rate to estimate the prognosis of HBV-ACLF. The impacts of different metabolic risk factors were further analyzed.
Results:
A total of 233 patients, including 158 (67.8%) with metabolic risk factors and 75 (32.2%) without metabolic risk factors, were finally analyzed. Patients with metabolic risk factors had significantly higher MELD score (22.6±6.1 vs 19.8±3.8, p<0.001), 90-day mortality rate (56.3% vs 38.7%, p=0.017), and shorter median survival time (58 days vs 75 days: hazard ratio, 1.553; 95% confidence interval, 1.061 to 2.274; p=0.036) than patients without them. Moreover, metabolic risk factors were independently associated with patients’ 90-day mortality (hazard ratio, 1.621; 95% confidence interval, 1.016 to 2.585; p=0.043). Prediabetes/diabetes and hypertension were related to higher rates of infection and worse renal function in HBV-ACLF patients.
Conclusions
HBV-ACLF patients with metabolic risk factors, especially prediabetes/diabetes or hypertension, could have more severe disease and lower survival rates. In addition, the existence of metabolic disorder is an independent risk factor for HBV-ACLF patients’ 90-day mortality.

A 26-year female was admitted to hospital with fever and cough. Blood routine test showed leukopenia and thrombocytopenia. CT scan indicated pneumonia-like disease. Antibiotics therapy was ineffective, and primary pulmonary extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type was confirmed by percutaneous lung biopsy. Twenty cases of ENKTL were collected from 14 reports through literature retrieval. Patients aged 19-80 years with a male to female ratio of 3∶1. Main clinical symptoms included fever (85%), cough (65%), and shortness of breath (55%). CT findings of primary pulmonary ENKTL varied widely and might occur in all lobes of both lungs; the lesions were nodular or mass-like (60%) and pneumonia-like (20%). Few cases showed pleural effusion (25%) and/or mediastinal lymphadenopathy (25%). ENKTL presented NK/T cell phenotype, cytotoxic granule protein, and evidence of EB virus infection. The pulmonary ENKTL progressed rapidly, the hemophagocytic syndrome presenting with high fevers, hepatosplenomegaly or cytopenias usually indicated a late stage of the disease. The survival time ranged from 8 days to 12 months. The primary pulmonary ENKTL is a rare disease. The clinical course tends to be rapidly progressive, with life-threatening complications occurring less than a year after the disorder becomes apparent. When a non-responding pneumonia is associated with hemophagocytic syndrome (fever, leukopenia, splenomegaly), lung biopsy should be considered for the diagnosis of ENKTL.

Myxomas are the most frequent, cardiac benign cardiac tumors which often present with stroke caused by tumorous orthrombotic emboli. The treatment of embolic stroke due to cardiac myxoma is still a clinical and technical challenge. A 61-year-old man who had an embolic stroke in the left middle cerebral artery was admitted to the Third Poeple′s Hospital of Huizhou. The initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 16. He received endovascular thrombectomy after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) one hour after stroke onset. No intracranial hemorrhage developed. Pathological study of embolus showed a myxoma. A cardiac mass was found in the left atrium and removed surgically three weeks after stroke. Pathological study of the tumor showed a myxoma. At the one-month follow-up after excision of myxoma, the NIHSS score was 1 and the modified Rankin scale score was 0. No recurrence of embolism occurred after surgical resection. Endovascular thrombectomy after intravenous rt-PA (bridging therapy) for embolic stroke due to cardiac myxoma is safe and effective, and early resection of atrial myxoma can effectively avoid recurrence of cerebral infarction.

Objective:
To observe the therapeutic effect of simple 3.0% saline nasal irrigation and combined treatment of 3.0% saline nasal irrigation and budesonide nasal spray for vasomotor rhinitis (VMR), and explore the long-term effect for VMR. Through examination of levels of substance P (SP) and mucin (MUC)5B in nasal lavage fluid, the mechanisms of nasal irrigation treatment for VMR was discussed.
Methods:
One hundred and one patients from Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Huashan Hospital of Fudan University with VMR were randomly divided into 4 groups. The number of patients was 24 in control group, 25 in budesonide nasal spray treatment group (budesonide group), 25 in nasal irrigation treatment group (nasal irrigation group) and 27 in budesonide nasal spray + nasal irrigation group (combined treatment group). Control patients were left untreated. Budesonide group was under budesonide nasal spray treatment, nasal irrigation group was treated using 3.0% saline with a temperature of 40℃ and combined treatment group was given both treatments. The duration of the intervention period was 3 months (90 days). Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate nasal symptoms, and the health-related quality of life was assessed using the 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2.0 (SF-12v2). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to assess the contents of SP and MUC5B in nasal lavage fluid before and after 3-month treatments in budesonide and nasal irrigation group in the study. MUC5B in nasal lavage fluid after the SP challenge and anticholinergic drug intervention in control group were also evaluated with ELISA.
Results:
Nighty out of 101 patients completed the study. In the budesonide and combined treatment group after relevant interventions, the total VAS score of nasal symptoms decreased (5.91±0.21

Objective To discuss significance of carcinoembryonic antigen level changes be-fore and after the treatment of gefinitib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods 40 patients with advanced NSCLC in Ⅲ~Ⅳ period were enrolled and given routine local chemotherapy and gEfitinib,and the therapy was which until the patients were intolerant to it.All the patients were given carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)test before and after treatment and were divided into high CEA group and low CEA group according to CEA level before treatment.Follow-up lasted until December 2013,adverse reactions and PFS in 2 groups were observed.Results Before treatment,the difference was not significant in CEA levels in control group and uncontrolled group (P >0.05).After treatment,CEA levels in 2 groups were obviously lower than the treat-ment before (P <0.01)and CEA level in control group was obviously lower than that in the uncon-trolled group(P <0.01).Occurrence rate of adverse reactions in high CEA group was higher than low CEA group but the difference were not significant (P >0.05).Survival rates of 9 and 12 months in high CEA group were markedly higher than that in thee low CEA group (P <0.05). Conclusion CEA level can be considered as a biochemical index of assessing prognosis of gefitinib in treatment of advanced NSCLC.
