Objective:To explore the latent profile and characteristics of social isolation in patients with hematologic malignancy, and to analyze its related influencing factors, and to provide reference for improving social phobia disorder in different patients and implementing targeted intervention.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. A convenient sampling method was used to select hematologic malignancy patients who were treated in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2022 to January 2023. General information questionnaire, the General Alienation Scale (GAS), and the Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS) were used for investigation. Latent profile was analyzed using the categories of social isolation in patients with hematologic malignancy, and univariate and multinomial logistic regression analysis were used to analyze relevant influencing factors.Results:A total of 195 survey subjects were included, of which 108 males and 87 females, aged (49.78 ± 13.52) years. The scores of GAS and SSRS were (43.21 ± 6.09) and (42.52 ± 6.77) respectively. The social isolation in patients with hematologic malignancy could be divided into 3 latent profiles, namely low-risk isolation 15.4% (30/195), medium-risk isolation 68.2%(133/195), and high-risk isolation16.4% (32/195). Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=0.941, 95% CI 0.894-0.990), percapita monthly income of families ( OR=0.050, 95% CI 0.004-0.657), primary caregivers (parents) ( OR=0.025, 95% CI 0.003-0.227), place of residence (town)( OR=0.170, 95% CI 0.039-0.749), disease type (leukemia) ( OR=15.610, 95% CI 2.973-81.979), disease type(lymphoma) ( OR=10.986, 95% CI 2.032-59.413) were the influencing factors of medium-risk isolation (all P<0.05). Age ( OR=0.933, 95% CI 0.880-0.988), percapita monthly income of families ( OR=0.029, 95% CI 0.002-0.525), primary caregivers (parents) ( OR=0.076, 95% CI 0.006-0.900), disease type (leukemia)( OR=19.257, 95% CI 2.580-143.723), disease type (lymphoma)( OR=9.952, 95% CI 1.290-76.763), social support ( OR=0.877, 95% CI 0.786-0.980) were the influencing factors of high-risk isolation (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The social isolation among patients with hematologic malignancy had apparent classification characteristics. It could be divided into three potential profiles. It is suggested that medical staff should take targeted social and psychological support based on different types of patients, improve their psychological and social outcomes, and utilize existing resources to implement intervention measures to help them adapt and return to society.

Based on the self-assembly process occurring in the human body all the time, self-assembled nanomaterials were designed by the researchers. The self-assembled nanomaterials have controllability, biocompatibility and functional advantages in vivo. The self-assembled nanomaterials constructed in situ under a physiological environment display various biological characteristics which can be used for imaging, therapy, and broad clinical applications. In situ self-assembled nanomaterials can boost drug function, reduce toxic and side effects, prolong imaging time and enlarge signal-to-noise ratio. By using pathological conditions to trigger specific responses in vivo, well-ordered nanoaggregates can be spontaneously formed by multiple weak bonding interactions. The assembly shows higher accumulation and longer retention in situ. Endogenous triggers for in situ assembly, such as enzymes, pH, reactive oxygen species and ligand receptor interaction, can be used to transform the materials into a variety of controllable nanostructures including nanoparticles, nanofibers and gels through bioactivated in vivo assembly (BIVA) strategies. BIVA strategies can be applied for treatment, imaging or participate in the physiological activities of cells at the lesion site. This review summarized and prospected the design of self-assembled peptide materials based on BIVA technology and their biomedical applications. The nanostructures of the self-assembly enable some beneficial biological effects, such as assembly induced retention (AIR) effect, enhanced targeting effect, multivalent bond effect, and membrane disturbance. Thus, the BIVA nanotechnology is promising for efficient drug delivery, enhancement of targeting and treatment, as well as optimization of the biological distribution of drugs.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of domestic 16-row and imported 8-row mobile CT in clinics.Methods:A total of 1469 patients accepted domestic 16-row mobile CT head scans (1604 times) from March 2017 to August 2018 in Bayi Brain Hospital Affiliated to 7 th Medical Center of General Hospital of People's Liberation Army and Langfang Aidebao Hospital; and 15510 patients accepted imported 8-row mobile CT head scans (24994 times) from January 2016 to August 2018 in Bayi Brain Hospital Affiliated to 7 th Medical Center of General Hospital of People's Liberation Army. All patients underwent horizontal plain and enhanced head scans, cerebral CT angiography (CTA), and helical 3D imaging; and the imaging quality, operating power consumption, computed tomography dose index volume (CTDIvol) and stability within scanning volume ranges under different scanning modes of the two CT scans were compared. Results:(1) Imaging quality: the horizontal scanning of domestic 16-row mobile CT could clearly display low-density tissues such as the eyeball, optic nerve, brain stem, sulcus and cerebral gyrus; the imaging quality of both CT scans in patients with traumatic subdural hematoma and ischemic stroke completely met the clinical diagnosis and treatment standards. (2) Operating power consumption: the per-hour operating power consumption of domestic 16-row mobile CT ([0.286±0.018] kW·h) was obviously lower than that of imported 8-row mobile CT ([0.485±0.028] kW·h). (3) Radiological hazard: the CTDIvol of the horizontal scanning volume range in domestic 16-row mobile CT ([36.270±0.281] mGy) was significantly lower than that in the imported 8-row mobile CT ([82.520±0.441] mGy, P<0.05); the CTDIvol of enhanced axis scan volume range in the domestic 16-row mobile CT ([36.270±0.335] mGy) was significantly lower than that in the imported 8-row mobile CT ([70.728±0.424] mGy, P<0.05); the CTDIvol in the volume of CTA imaging of domestic 16-row mobile CT ([20.600±0.087] mGy) was significantly lower than that in the imported 8-row mobile CT ([29.300±0.335] mGy, P<0.05). The domestic 16-row mobile CT was designed with shock absorbers and guides; domestic 16-row mobile CT had small load, a low center of gravity, and good stability as compared with imported 8-row mobile CT. Conclusion:In terms of head scanning applications, the imaging quality of domestic 16-row mobile CT and imported 8-row mobile CT is in full compliance with clinical diagnostic standards, but the energy consumption and radiation risk of domestic 16-row mobile CT is significantly lower than imported 8-row mobile CT, enjoying good stability as compared with imported 8-row mobile CT.

Objective To explore the surgical strategy of minimally invasive treatment for acoustic neuroma and to improve the tumor removal rate and facial nerve function preservation rate. Methods Four hundred and fifteen patients suffering from acoustic neuromas, admitted to and treated by minimally invasive surgery via trans-suboccipital retrosigmoid transmeatus approach in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2016, were chosen in our study. Their clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative Karnofsky behavioral status scale (KPS) was used to evaluate the prognoses of the patients. Postoperative routine enhanced MR imaging was performed to determine the degrees of tumor resection. Three months after surgery, House-Brackmann facial function grading (H-B) was used to evaluate the facial function of all patients. Results KPS indicated that excellent prognosis was noted in 399 patients (96.10%), good prognosis in 14 (3.37%), and poor prognosis in 2 (0.48%); the larger the tumor diameter, the smaller the proportion of patients with good prognosis. Total resection of the tumors was achieved in 387 patients (93.25%), sub-total resection in 24 (5.78%), and partial resection in 4 (0.96%); the larger the tumor diameter, the smaller the proportion of patients with total resection. There were 398 patients with facial nerve preservation in anatomy, and the anatomic preservation rate of facial nerve was 95.9%; there were 17 without anatomic preservation, and 12 received end to end anastomosis of facial nerve. Three months after operation, H-B grading I-II was noted in 334 patients (80.5%), grading III-IV in 76 patients (18.3%), grading V-VI in 5 patients (1.2%); the larger the tumor diameter, the smaller the proportion of patients with H-B grading I-II. No surgically related deaths occurred. Conclusion Early diagnosis and early microsurgical treatment of acoustic neuroma is helpful in improving the safety and efficacy of tumor resection.
