Objective:To evaluate the influence on the results and safety of double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) at different combination time.Methods:Patients who received combined DBE procedures in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from April 2019 to August 2020 were divided into the one-day combination group and the non-one-day combination group. The complete enteroscopy rate, time of anterograde approach, time of retrograde approach, total time of combined approach, adverse events, hospital stay and cost were compared.Results:Among 119 patients who received DBE, 23 patients were excluded due to small intestinal stenosis. The complete enteroscopy rate was 92.9% (39/42) in the one-day group and 74.1% (40/54) in the non-one-day group, showing significant difference ( χ2=4.390, P=0.036). There were significant differences in the time of retrograde approach (35.59±23.29 min VS 55.10±19.04 min, t=-4.080, P<0.001), total time of combined approach (89.10±27.82 min VS 114.20±24.55 min, t=-4.254, P<0.001), hospital stay (9.24±3.76 d VS 11.76±4.41 d, t=-2.599, P=0.011) between the two groups. There were no significant differences in the time of anterograde approach, hospital cost or adverse events between the two groups. Conclusion:Combined DBE on one day yields a higher complete enteroscopy rate, less examination time and less hospital stay, which is worth of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhotic ascites, and to establish a new model for predicting the development of SBP. Methods A total of 215 patients who were diagnosed with cirrhotic ascites in Hebei General Hospital from September 2016 to September 2020 were enrolled, and according to the presence or absence of SBP, they were divided into SBP group with 55 patients and non-SBP group with 160 patients. Related clinical data were collected and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score, MELD combined with serum sodium concentration (MELD-Na) score, and Child-Pugh score were calculated. The t -test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups; a multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen out independent risk factors, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the performance of ALBI score, procalcitonin (PCT), polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) count in ascites, and the ALBI-PMN-PCT combined model in the diagnosis of SBP. Results Compared with the SBP group, the non-SBP group had a significantly higher concentration of Na + ( Z =-3.414, P =0.001) and significantly lower total bilirubin ( Z =-2.720, P =0.007), creatinine ( Z =-1.994, P =0.046), urea nitrogen ( Z =-2.440, P =0.015), C-reactive protein ( Z =-9.137, P < 0.001), PCT ( Z =-8.096, P < 0.001), prothrombin time ( Z =-1.969, P =0.049), international normalized ratio ( Z =-2.073, P =0.038), PMN ( Z =-8.292, P < 0.001), MELD score ( Z =-2.736, P =0.006), MELD-Na score ( Z =-3.188, P =0.001), Child-Pugh score ( Z =-3.419, P =0.001), and ALBI score ( t =-5.010, P < 0.001), and there were also significant differences between the two groups in the presence or absence of gastrointestinal bleeding or hepatic encephalopathy ( χ 2 =16.551 and 8.142, P < 0.001 and P =0.004). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ALBI score (odds ratio [ OR ]=3.460, 95% confidence interval [ CI ]: 1.296-9.240, P =0.013), PMN ( OR =1.012, 95% CI : 1.007-1.017, P < 0.001), and PCT ( OR =6.019, 95% CI : 2.821-12.843, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for SBP in patients with cirrhotic ascites. The ROC curve showed that ALBI, PCT, PMN, and ALBI-PMN-PCT had areas under the ROC curve of 0.711, 0.866, 0.875, and 0.934, respectively, in the diagnosis of SBP, with sensitivities of 50.91%, 73.36%, 72.73%, and 89.09%, respectively, and specificities of 86.87%, 81.25%, 100.00%, and 91.87%, respectively. The patients with ALBI-PMN-PCT > 0.272 had an increased risk of developing SBP. Conclusion The ALBI-PMN-PCT combined model has a high value in predicting the onset of SBP in patients with cirrhotic ascites.

Objective:To investigate the effect of reverse saphenous nerve neurocutaneous flaps for skin defects of forefoot with the help of the three dimensional computerized tomography angiography(3D-CTA).Methods:From November 2013 to February 2018, 19 patients with anterior foot defects were treated in the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang. There were 12 males and 7 females. The patients ranged from 16 to 45 years old, with an average age of 29.6 years. Preoperative 3D-CTA examination of the ipsilateral foot was performed to find out the blood vessels in the donor site, to determine the location, course, length of the superficial branch of the medial plantar toe artery and its relationship with the surrounding tissues, and to design the medial saphenous nerve nutrient vessel skin flap for retrograde repair of the skin and soft tissue defect at the front of the foot. Sensitive recovery were evaluated according to Swanson evaluation of clinical effect of peripheral nervous impairment.Results:Preoperative three-dimensional CT angiography showed that the superficial branches of the medial plantar toe artery were detected, and the perforating vessels during the operation were basically consistent according to the result of the examination. The 19 cases of forefeet skin detects were successfully reconstructed with the reverse saphenous nerve neurocutaneous flaps. All patients were followed up with the mean of 8 months. All flaps survived totally without diabrosis and swelling. The walking and weight-bearing were normal and the blood supply of foot were good. The functional recovery of foot and ankle was excellent in 8 cases, good in 10 cases and middle in 1 case. The sensory recovery of the forefoot: S4 5 feet, S3 10 feet, S2 4 feet; R4 3 feet, R3 9 feet, R2 7 feet.Conclusions:Preoperative 3D-CTA examination can confirm the anatomy of the superficial branch of the medial toe base artery in the donor site and guide the design of the medial saphenous nerve nutrient vessel flap for retrograde repair of skin and soft tissue defects of the distal foot. The blood supply is reliable, the wound is small and the effect is satisfactory.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a recessive single gene disease of X chromosome, which is rare clinically and has a very low incidence in newborn boys. This is mainly due to the abnormal pathway in which androgens play a role, resulting in sexual differentiation disorder in patients. A pair of identical twins were admitted to our hospital, and a new pathogenic mutation site of the androgen receptor gene was found, resulting in an androgen insensitivity phenotype.

Objective:To explore the preventive effects of group personalized nursing intervention based on IMB model in high-risk population of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) .Methods:Totally 130 high-risk patients with GDM who created medical files and planned to labor in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from November 2018 to January 2019 were selected by convenient sampling. Excluding 2 patients with threatened abortion, 9 who did not labor in our hospital, and 3 with invalid questionnaires, finally 116 pregnant women were included, who were divided into the observation group ( n=57) and the control group ( n=59) according to the random number table. Pregnant women in the control group received routine care based on IMB model, while pregnant women in the observation group were divided into several subgroups, including overweight/obesity, advance age, GDM history, and family history groups, with 6-10 cases in each subgroup. Personalized nursing intervention for high-risk factors and lifestyles were provided for different subgroups. The self-made GDM Knowledge Questionnaire, incidence of GDM, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results, weight gain during pregnancy, and pregnancy outcome were used to compare the effects of intervention between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in GDM knowledge scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) , while there was statistically significant difference in GDM knowledge scores between the two groups after intervention ( P<0.01) . The weight gain of the observation group was (13.03±5.58) kg, which was lower than (16.02±4.92) kg of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.068, P=0.003) . The incidence of GDM in the observation group was 12.28%, lower than 28.81% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the OGTT, there was no statistically significant difference in fasting blood glucose between the two groups ( P>0.05) ; there was statistically significant difference between the blood glucose values of the two groups 1 and 2 hours after taking sugar ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of cesarean section, premature delivery, gestational hypertension, premature rupture of fetal membranes, giant infants, and neonatal hypoglycemia between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Group personalized nursing intervention based on the IMB model is helpful to improve the knowledge level of high-risk population of GDM, and reduce the incidence of GDM and weight gain during pregnancy, and its effects on pregnancy outcome need to be further explored.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of Docetaxel injection and Capecitabine tablets combined with Oxaliplatin injection in chemotherapy for patients after esophageal cancer surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 101 patients with esophageal cancer who underwent radical surgery from June 2010 to December 2012, including 58 males and 43 females. According to the different treatment methods they were divided into a study group (58 patients, 32 males and 26 females, postoperatively receiving Docetaxel injection, Capecitabine tablets, Oxaliplatin injection and chemotherapy) and a control group (43 patients, 26 males and 17 females, taking Docetaxel injection and Capecitabine tablets for 4 consecutive courses). We compared the difference in the outcomes between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the level of serum anticancer antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) before chemotherapy between two groups (P>0.05). After chemotherapy, the level of serum CEA, CA125, CA199, SCC in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The 1-year survival rate of the study group was 92.59% and the 2-year survival rate was 70.37%, which were not significantly different from those of the control group (P>0.05). The 3-year survival rate of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (57.41 % vs. 32.43%, P<0.05). The mean survival time of the study group was longer than that of the control group (31 months vs. 22 months, P=0.001). Conclusion Docetaxel injection and Capecitabine tablets combined with Oxaliplatin injection for the treatment of esophageal cancer surgery can significantly reduce levels of tumor markers in serum after esophageal cancer surgery, and is favorable for the long-term survival of patients, but adverse reactions should be noted.
