Objective To analyze the influencing factors of sleep disorders in the patients with breast cancer.Methods A total of 96 patients with breast cancer treated in this hospital from February 2021 to De-cember 2021 were selected and divided into the non-sleep disorder group and sleep disorder group according to whether or not having sleep disorders.The clinical characteristic data were compared between the two groups.The multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of sleep disorders in the pa-tients with breast cancer.Results Among 96 patients with breast cancer,60 cases had no sleep disorders,while 36 cases had sleep disorders.The age,disease stage,marital status,education level,economic income,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)score and self-rating depression scale(SDS)score had statistical differences between the two groups(P＜0.05).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the age,disease stage,marital status,education level,economic income status,SAS score and SDS score were the influential factors of sleep disorders occurrence in the patients with breast cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The sleep situation in the patients with breast cancer cannot be ignored and is related to many factors.Targeted and effective interventions are needed to improve the quality of life of the patients.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of enteral nutrition feeding intolerance (FI) in patients with abdominal trauma and construct a risk prediction model.Methods:This was a retrospective study. General and clinical data such as Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHEⅡ), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and Acute Gastrointestinal Injury (AGI) of patients with abdominal trauma and enteral nutrition admitted to Department of Emergency Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to January 2023 were collected by means of medical record inquiry. Patients were divided into FI group and non-FI group according to whether FI occurred within three days after receiving enteral nutrition. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of FI in patients with abdominal injury and to construct the related risk prediction model. The diagnostic value of the prediction model was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.Results:A total of 101 research objects were included, including 30 patients with enteral nutrition FI and 71 patients without enteral nutrition FI. The multivariate Logistic regression results analysis showed that injury severity score, acute gastrointestinal injury grading, and hypoalbuminemia were the influencing factors of enteral nutrition FI in patients with abdominal injury ( P<0.05). A risk prediction model for enteral nutrition FI in patients with abdominal injury was constructed based on the above factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the predictive model was 0.856, with a sensitivity of 0.833, a specificity of 0.732, a Jordan index of 0.565, and an optimal critical value of 0.265. Conclusions:The constructed risk prediction model for enteral nutrition FI in patients with abdominal injury has good predictive performance, which can provide a reference for medical staff to predict the risk of enteral nutrition FI in patients with abdominal injury.

Objective To investigate whether endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) can be an alternative method for diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) by comparing the ability of EUS versus CT and transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) in the diagnosis of muddy stones of the common bile duct. Methods A prospective study was conducted for 53 patients suspected of muddy stones of the common bile duct who attended Nanxishan Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from July 2019 to December 2021, and all patients underwent EUS, TUS, and CT before ERCP. With ERCP and endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) for removing muddy stones of the common bile duct as the gold standard for the diagnosis of muddy stones of the common bile duct, EUS, TUS, and CT were compared in terms of their ability to display the muddy stones of the common bile duct. The chi-square test or the Fisher's exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. Results In the 53 patients, EUS, TUS, and CT had a positive rate of 88.68%, 50.94%, and 62.26%, respectively, in detecting muddy stones of the common bile duct. As for the positive results confirmed by EST under ERCP, EUS had a sensitivity of 93.75%, a specificity of 60.00%, and an accuracy of 90.57% in detecting muddy stones of the common bile duct, while TUS had a sensitivity of 56.25%, a specificity of 100.00%, and an accuracy of 60.38% and CT had a sensitivity of 66.67%, a specificity of 80.00%, and an accuracy of 67.92%. There was a significant difference between EUS and CT in the accuracy in detecting muddy stones of the common bile duct ( χ 2 =8.26, P =0.004), and there was also a significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between EUS and TUS ( χ 2 =13.05, P < 0.001). Conclusion EUS is more accurate than TUS and CT in the diagnosis of muddy stones of the common bile duct, and instead of ERCP, EUS is thus recommended for suspected muddy stones of the common bile duct when TUS and CT fail to identify the lesions in clinical practice, so as to make a confirmed diagnosis and reduce related costs and complications.

Objective: This study uses structural magnetic resonance imaging to explore changes in the cerebellar lobules in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and further analyze the correlation between cerebellar structural changes and clinical symptoms of ASD. Methods: A total of 75 patients with ASD and 97 typically developing (TD) subjects from Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange dataset were recruited. We adopted an advanced automatic cerebellar lobule segmentation technique called CEREbellum Segmentation to segment each cerebellar hemisphere into 12 lobules. Normalized cortical thickness of each lobule was recorded, and group differences in the cortical measures were evaluated. Correlation analysis was also performed between the normalized cortical thickness and the score of Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised. Results: Results from analysis of variance showed that the normalized cortical thickness of the ASD group differed significantly from that of the TD group; specifically, the ASD group had lower normalized cortical thickness than the TD group. Post-hoc analysis revealed that the differences were more predominant in the left lobule VI, left lobule Crus I and left lobule X, and in the right lobule VI and right lobule Crus I. Lowered normalized cortical thickness in the left lobule Crus I in the ASD patients correlated positively with the abnormality of development evident at or before 36 months subscore. Conclusion These results suggest abnormal development of cerebellar lobule structures in ASD patients, and such abnormality might significantly influence the pathogenesis of ASD. These findings provide new insights into the neural mechanisms of ASD, which may be clinically relevant to ASD diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of poisoned patients with poisons purchase online.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on poisoned patients purchased poisons online from 1st January 2021 to 31th May 2022 in the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. The clinical data including sex, age, way of medical treatment, cause of poisoning, exposure routes, category of toxic drugs, gastric lavage, toxic detection and prognosis of patients were collected and compared with those patients obtained poisons at stores as the control group.Results:Totally 318 poisoned patients were included in this study, of which 44 (13.8%) were obtained poisons online. Compared with the patients obtained poisons at stores, the patients obtained poisons online were younger ( P<0.001), and had higher proportion of suicide intention ( P=0.006), more oral route exposure ( P=0.029), and more proportions of receiving gastric lavage before transfer to the hospital ( P=0.001). Pesticides and fertilizers with organic heterocycles were the main types of poisons in the online group, and there was no statistical difference in the distribution of poisons compared with the control group. Mixed drug poisoning was the leading cause in both online group (27.8%) and control group (38.8%) in drug overdose poisoned types, followed by dextromethorphan (16.7%) and estazolam (15.5%) in the online group. Conclusions:Young people are the main group getting poisons through the Internet. Health education should be strengthened for this group, and online shopping platforms should pay attention to the poisoning risk of potential overdose drugs or poisons transactions.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of evidence-based nursing practice for functional rehabilitation of post-stroke neurogenic bladder (PSNB) .Methods:From October 2020 to July 2021, 136 PSNB patients admitted to the Department of Neurology, Jiangyin People's Hospital were selected by convenience sampling as the research object. According to the random number table method, the patients were divided into the study group and the control group, with 68 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation nursing, while the study group was given evidence-based rehabilitation nursing based on the control group. The urodynamics, rates of bladder balance, urinary incontinence and urinary retention after intervention were compared between the two groups.Results:After three months of intervention, bladder compliance and bladder balance rate in the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the residual urine volume was less than that in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . After three months of intervention, urinary retention rate in the study group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based rehabilitation nursing can help to promote the rapid recovery of bladder balance in PSNB patients and improve the prognosis of patients.

To investigate the effects of sanguinarine (Sang) combined with cisplatin (Cis) in accelerating the apoptosis of bladder cancer EJ cells, CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation of bladder cancer EJ cells treated with different concentrations of Sang with the IC50 values calculated. Annexin V FITC/PI method was used to detect cell apoptosis in the control group, Sang group, Cis group and the combination group. Flow cytometer was used to detect cell cycle arrested. Western blot was used to detect the influence of Bcl-2 expression in the control group, Sang group, Cis group and the combination group. Nude mouse subcutaneous tumor model was constructed to verify that the combination group could accelerate the apoptosis of bladder cancer EJ cells and reduce the side-effects on mice. The safety of the Sang was evaluated by HE staining of vital organs in mice. In vitro, Sang could significantly inhibit the proliferation of EJ cells. Compared with the control group, the number of apoptosis EJ cells in the combination group was significantly increased (P < 0.05), and more cells were arrested in G2/M phase. The expression of Bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated in the combination group (P <0.001). In vivo, compared with the control group, the tumor growth was significantly slower, and a large number of apoptotic cells were inspected (P < 0.05) of the combination group. The side effects of cisplatin were reduced in the combination group. Sang has high biosafety and little side effect. Combined Sang and Cis can increase cell cycle G2/M block, down-regulate Bcl-2 expression, promote cell apoptosis and inhibit tumor growth.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the types and frequency of deafness-related variants among 7875 newborns from Dongying area of Shandong Province. METHODS: One hundred loci of 18 common deafness genes were subjected to semiconductor sequencing. Variant site, frequency and distribution of the variants were analyzed. RESULTS: In total 552 deafness gene variants were detected among the 7875 newborns, which yielded a detection rate of 7.01%. Among these, common variant sites for GJB2, SLC26A4 and GJB3 genes were c.235delC, IVS7-2A>G and c.538C>T, respectively. The variant frequencies of matrilinear inheritance deafness genes MT-CO1, MT-RNR1, MT-TL1 and MT-TS1 were 0.38%, 0.25%, 0.1% and 0.01%, respectively. Four newborns were diagnosed with deafness, among which one had unilateral hearing loss. Analysis of the proportions of neonatal deafness-related variants in five counties of Dongying showed that the highest variant rate for the SLC26A4 gene compared with GJB2 was in Lijin county (51.76% vs. 40%), while the lowest was in Hekou county (30.77% vs. 56.41%). CONCLUSION The carrier rate of deafness-related variants in Dongying area is higher than other regions of China, which may be attributed to the increased types and variant sites covered by the semiconductor sequencing method compared with the chip method and time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Due to geographical and population aggregation factors, the proportion of deafness variants in the five counties of Dongying differed significantly. Above results may provide a guide for the prevention of congenital deafness in Dongying area.

To explore the immunomodulatory effects of interleukin-17 (IL-17) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Thirty-six SPF-class C57BL/6 mice were divided into normal saline control group (NS group) and LPS-induced ALI model group (LPS group, LPS 5 mg/kg intratracheal drip) according to random number table method, with 18 mice in each group. Six mice were sacrificed at 2, 6 and 24 hours after model reproduction, and peripheral blood, lung and spleen tissues were harvested. After staining with hematoxylin-eosin (HE), the pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under microscope and the infiltration level of lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophages in the alveolar wall and tracheal wall were detected. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of IL-17 in alveolar wall and tracheal wall, and the correlation between IL-17 expression and lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophages infiltration in alveolar wall and tracheal wall were analyzed. The level of IL-17 in lung tissue homogenate was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of CD4+IL-17+ helper T cells (Th17 cells) in CD4+ T cells in peripheral blood, lung tissue and spleen tissue. Results ① Microscopy showed that the lung tissue structure of NS group was basically normal at each time after model reproduction, and there was no obvious inflammatory cell infiltration, while the lung tissue edema and inflammatory reaction were gradually aggravated in the LPS group, and the lung injury score was significantly higher than that in NS group at each time (2 hours: 4.47±1.42 vs. 1.10±0.55, 6 hours: 7.93±2.14 vs. 1.23±0.50, 24 hours:12.67±2.67 vs. 1.20±0.61, all P < 0.01). ② Immunohistochemistry showed that the protein expression of IL-17 in alveolar wall and tracheal wall of LPS group increased gradually with time, while that in NS group was negative or weak positive. Quantitative analysis showed that the immunohistochemical staining score of IL-17 protein in alveolar wall and tracheal wall of LPS group were higher than those of NS group (alveolar wall: 2.70±1.40 vs. 0.90±0.37 at 2 hours, 5.10±1.76 vs. 1.17±0.59 at 6 hours, 9.67±1.32 vs. 1.10±0.45 at 24 hours; tracheal wall: 2.87±0.89 vs. 0.90±0.39 at 2 hours, 4.97±1.48 vs. 1.10±0.41 at 6 hours, 8.67±1.54 vs. 1.03±0.29 at 24 hours; all P < 0.05). ③ Correlation analysis showed that the protein expression of IL-17 in alveolar wall and tracheal wall were positively correlated with the degree of lymphocyte, neutrophil and macrophage infiltration (alveolar wall: r value was 0.632, 0.550, 0.466; tracheal wall: r value was 0.695, 0.662, 0.575, respectively; all P < 0.01). ④ IL-17 content (μg/L) in lung tissue homogenate was significantly higher than that in NS group at each time after model reproduction (2 hours: 1.37±0.14 vs. 1.01±0.18, 6 hours: 1.65±0.19 vs. 1.11±0.18, 24 hours: 1.92±0.36 vs. 1.17±0.24, all P < 0.01). ⑤ The proportion of Th17 cells in the peripheral blood, lung tissue and spleen tissue of the LPS group were higher than those of the NS group at each time after model reproduction [peripheral blood: (2.62±0.62)% vs. (1.42±0.40)% at 2 hours, (3.74±0.43)% vs. (1.27±0.32)% at 6 hours, (4.44±0.65)% vs. (1.59±0.45)% at 24 hours; lung tissue: (2.32±0.44)% vs. (1.50±0.25)% at 2 hours, (3.66±0.36)% vs. (1.33±0.24)% at 6 hours, (4.60±0.54)% vs. (1.60±0.27)% at 24 hours; spleen tissue: (1.49±0.36)% vs. (0.69±0.21)% at 2 hours, (2.58±0.55)% vs. (0.59±0.18)% at 6 hours, (3.76±0.57)% vs. (0.65±0.26)% at 24 hours; all P < 0.01]. Conclusion IL-17 is involved in the inflammatory immune regulation of ALI mice.
