The nervous system not only affects the core processes of tumors such as proliferation, metastasis and angiogenesis, but is also closely related to symptoms such as tumor-related pain and cachexia. Meanwhile, tumor cells can invade adjacent tissues through nerve pathways to induce perineural invasion, which promotes tumor development. This article reviews the research progress in role of the nervous system in tumor occurrence and development from perspectives of tumor perineural invasion, neurotrophic factors, autonomic and sensory nerves, and influence of the neuroimmune system in tumors, in order to provide new perspective and method for tumor treatment.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum uric acid levels and thyroid hormones in hospitalized elderly gout patients.Methods:A total of 646 hospitalized gout patients, including 616 males and 30 females, aged(68.8±5.1)years, who were hospitalized at the Department of Gout, Chu Hsien-I Memorial Hospital from April 2014 to December 2019, were retrospectively analyzed.Clinical information was collected and relevant biochemical tests were conducted.Serum uric acid (SUA)levels were divided into quartiles and their associations with thyroid hormone levels were analyzed.Results:With the increase of SUA, body mass index, the prevalence of obesity, the prevalence of dyslipidemia, and the prevalence of fatty liver, the number of involved joints, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerol, and homeostasis model assessment trended upward significantly( P<0.05); FUA showed a downward trend( F=9.42, P>0.05). The prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in older patients was 11.3%(73 cases). With the increase of SUA, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism and free triiodothyronine levels showed an upward trend, whereas free thyroxine levels showed a downward trend( P<0.01). Conclusions:In elderly gout patients, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism increases with SUA levels.Hyperuricemia and multiple metabolic disorders are independent risk factors for subclinical hypothyroidism in these patients.

The active copper-containing carbon nanodots were prepared by hydrothermal method, and then characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy.Subsequently, a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor was fabricated on the basis of this synthesized carbon nanodots with electro-deposition technique.The electrode behavior was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and differential pulse voltammetry.Furthermore, the catalysis mechanism was studied.The experimental results indicated that the biosensor exhibited a strong electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of uric acid (UA).What′s more, the interference from ascorbic acid and dopamine was eliminated effectively.Under the optimum conditions, there were linear relationships between the anodic peak current and the concentration of UA (1.00-300.0 μmol/L), and the limit detection was 0.30 μmol/L (S/N=3).The prepared biosensor had advantages such as easy fabrication, strong anti-interference ability, high sensitivity, and wide detection range, and could be used for real sample detection.

Objective Through the investigation and analysis,Find the influencing factors of nosocomial infection,seek to control the incidence of nosocomial infection methods and countermeasures.Methods Use retrospective study to find 293 infection cases,and 286 normal cases,then process Logistic regression analysis of the second category.Results The influencing factors of nosocomial infection are:the number of days hospitalized,ICU days,age,blood transfusion,the number of days serious ill,the sections change times.Conclusion In order to control the incidence of nosocomial infection,focus on the crowd of high-risk factors,bring in the performance appraisal,establish the HIS to realtime monitor.
