Objective To analyze the risk factors of delayed wound recovery after Meek skin grafting in patients with extensive deep burn and its predictive efficiency.Methods A total of 100 patients with extensive deep burn who underwent Meek skin grafting from August 2018 to November 2024 were selected,and they were divided into the normal group(n=79)and the delayed group(n=21)according to the wound healing time.The clinical data of all patients were collected,and the influencing factors of delayed wound recovery after Meek skin grafting in patients with extensive deep burn were analyzed by Logistic regression model,and the efficiency of the model was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test,respectively.Results There were statistically significant differences in the body mass index,hospitalization time,burn index,burn area,donor skin area,number of postoperative dressing change,postoperative nutritional support,postoperative pain scores,and hospitalized blood glucose levels between the two groups(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that high burn index(OR=1.086,β=0.082),large burn area(OR=1.155,β=0.144),fewer postoperative dressing change(OR=0.746,β=-0.293),lack of postoperative nutritional support(OR=6.439,β=1.862),high postoperative pain score(OR=4.483,β=1.500),and high level of hospitalized blood glucose(OR=2.251,β=0.811)were the influencing factors for delayed wound recovery after Meek skin grafting in patients with extensive deep burn(P<0.05).The ROC curve revealed that the combined prediction of the above six influencing factors for delayed postoperative wound recovery had an area under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.896,with a sensitivity and specificity of 88.00%and 89.10%,respectively;and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test result showed:χ2=10.641,and P=0.223,indicating a high predictive efficacy and a certain calibration ability of the model.Conclusion The high burn index,large burn area,fewer postoperative dressing change,lack of postoperative nutritional support,high postoperative pain score and hospitalized blood glucose level were the influencing factors for delayed wound recovery after Meek skin grafting in patients with extensive deep burn,and the prediction model constructed by the above factors has good predictive ability,which can provide a reference for clinical treatment.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of electroacupuncture at"Tianshu"(ST25)and"Sanyinjiao"(SP6)acupoints combined with metformin in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)using serum non-targeted metabolomics.METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group,model group,metformin group,electroacupunc-ture group,and acupuncture-medicine combination(electroacupuncture combined with metformin)group.A type 2 diabetes model was established by high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.The metformin group was treated with 250 mg·kg-1 metformin by gavage,the electroacupuncture group was treated with bilateral Tianshu and Sanyinjiao,the acupuncture-medicine combination group was treated with metformin by gavage combined with electroacupuncture,and the blank group and model group were treated with normal saline by gavage.All rats were treated 6 times a week for 7 weeks.After the intervention,the blood glucose level in the tail vein of the rats was measured using a blood glucose meter in the fasting state.The blood glucose levels of the rats were measured at 30,60,120,and 240 min after intraperitoneal injection of 50%glucose solution(4 mL·kg-1)to evaluate glu-cose tolerance.The serum insulin level of the rats was detected by ELISA and the insulin resistance index was calculated.The blood biochemical parameters were measured by an automatic blood biochemical analyzer.HE staining was used to evaluate the pathological conditions of the liver and pancreatic tissues of the rats.Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS)technology was used for mass spectrometry detection to identify differential metabolites,and MetaboAnalyst 5.0 was used for pathway enrichment analysis.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the fasting blood glucose,area under the glucose tolerance curve,and insulin resistance index of the model group rats were significantly increased(P<0.001),blood TP and GLB were significantly de-creased(P<0.01),AST,ALT,and ALP were significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001),and obvious inflammatory cell infiltration and pathological damage were observed in the liver and pancreas tissues;compared with the model group,the fasting blood glucose,area under the glucose tolerance curve,and insulin resistance index of the acupuncture-medicine combination group were sig-nificantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01,P<0.001),blood ALP was significantly decreased(P<0.01),TP and GLB were significant-ly increased(P<0.05),and the pathological damage of the liver and pancreas was significantly improved.Serum metabolomics showed that the metabolic profiles of the groups were well distinguished.Compared with the blank group,the differential metabolites in the model group were enriched in histidine metabolism,thiamine metabolism,taurine and hypotaurine metabolism,ascorbic acid and alde-hyde ester metabolism,valine,leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis pathways;compared with the model group,237 metabolites such as 3-aminoadipic acid,3-oxocyclobutanecarboxylic acid and phosphorylcholine in the acupuncture-medicine combination group were sig-nificantly reduced,and the pathways were enriched in histidine metabolism,linoleic acid metabolism,thiamine metabolism,taurine and hypotaurine metabolism,valine,leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis pathways.CONCLUSION Electroacupuncture combined with metformin can effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism of T2DM rats,and its potential mechanism may be related to the regulation of amino acid metabolism.

Objective:To analyze the effects of the Focused Solution Model Nursing intervention on quality of life,negative emotions of the patients with prostate cancer.Methods:A total of 82 prostate cancer patients who were diagnosed and treated at the General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command between September 2022 and September 2024 were included and randomly divided into study group and control group by the method of random number table,with 41 patients in each group.The patients in the study group were treated with Focused Solution Model Nursing intervention.And the routine care was used in the control group The quality of life and negative emotions were compared between the two groups by using the scales of World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief(WHOQOL-BREF),HAMA and HAMD.Results:Compared to the control group,the patients in the study group exhibited signifi-cantly higher scores in the physiological,psychological,environmental,and social relationship domains of the WHOQOL-BREF scale(P＜0.05).The scores of HAMA and HAMD in study group were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).Additionally,all subscales of the Social Impact Scale including social exclusion,internalized shame,social isolation and economic discrimination were significantly lower than those of the study group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Focused Solution Model Nursing intervention can effec-tively improve the quality of life and negative emotions of the prostate cancer patients in the clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the correlation between cognitive impairment of cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD)and white matter hyperintensity grade and cerebral atrophy grade.Methods The data of 213 patients with CSVD were analyzed retro-spectively.The semi-quantitative Fazekas visual score of brain MR was used to evaluate the white matter hyperintensity,and cerebral atrophy was evaluated by the whole cerebral cortex atrophy grade.Mini-mental state examination(MMSE)and Montreal cognitive assessment(Mo CA)were used to evaluate each patient and to classify according to the results.Results There was a statistically sig-nificant difference in age between male and female patients with CSVD(P=0.04,t=4.288).The mean age of males[(66.5±10.3)years]was less than females[(69.5±10.0)years].There was significant difference between patients with different gender and history of hypertension(P=0.02,t=5.424).There were statistical differences between white matter hyperintensity Fazekes grade and MMSE and Mo CA scores(P<0.001,χ2=5.639;P<0.001,χ2=5.843),and there were statistical differences between whole cerebral cortex atrophy grade and MMSE score(P=0.036,χ2=2.895).Conclusion There is a certain correlation between cognitive impairment of CSVD and head MR imaging evaluation grade.

Background/Aims: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (ERFA) is a treatment option for superficial esophageal squamous cell neoplasia (ESCN), with a relatively low risk of stenosis; however, the long-term outcomes remain unclear. We aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with widespread superficial ESCN who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or ERFA. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of patients with superficial ESCN who underwent ESD or ERFA between January 2015 and December 2021. The primary outcome measure was recurrence-free survival. Results: Ninety-two and 33 patients with superficial ESCN underwent ESD and ERFA, respectively. The en bloc, R0, and curative resection rates for ESD were 100.0%, 90.2%, and 76.1%, respectively. At 12 months, the complete response rate was comparable between the two groups (94.6% vs 90.9%, p=0.748). During a median follow-up of 66 months, recurrence-free survival was significantly longer in the ESD group than in the ERFA group (p=0.004), while no significant differences in overall survival (p=0.845) and disease-specific survival (p=0.494) were observed.Preoperative diagnosis of intramucosal cancer (adjusted hazard ratio, 5.55; vs high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia) was an independent predictor of recurrence. Significantly fewer patients in the ERFA group experienced stenosis compare to ESD group (15.2% vs 38.0%, p=0.016). Conclusions The risk of recurrence was higher for ERFA than ESD for ESCN but overall survival was not affected. The risk of esophageal stenosis was significantly lower for patients who underwent ERFA.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between 24-hour urinary calcium (24 h UCa) level and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality.Methods:In the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease, we examined 3 375 patients aged 18-74 years with CKD stages 1-4. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to test a time-to-event association between levels of 24 h UCa and incidence of ESKD, CVD, and all-cause mortality.Results:During a follow-up of 4.17 (3.37, 5.20) years, 179, 145, 104 and 38 ESKD events occurred in <0.60, 0.60-, 1.20-, ≥2.32 mmol 24 h UCa groups. Higher levels of 24 h UCa (1.20-,≥2.32 mmol) were independently associated with a lower incidence of ESKD events in patients with CKD, with HR (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.54-0.93) and 0.43 (0.29-0.64), respectively. No significant associations with CVD and all-cause mortality endpoints were detected. Conclusion:Among patients with CKD, levels of 24 h UCa displayed an association with the risk of ESKD among patients with CKD stages 1-4.
