Objective:To explore the complex network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality in colorectal cancer patients with colostomy, clarify core symptoms and bridging symptoms, so as to provide theoretical support for developing targeted intervention measures.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 287 colorectal cancer patients with colostomy at Shanxi Province Fenyang Hospital and Lyuliang First People's Hospital between October 2023 and November 2024 as study subjects. Patients were assessed using the General Information Questionnaire, Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Version 2-Chinese, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Network analysis was employed to investigate the network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality, as well as the characteristics of core nodes. A total of 287 questionnaires were distributed, and 281 effective questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 97.91% (281/287) .Results:Network analysis revealed that the strongest connection weights linking interoceptive sensitivity to sleep quality were observed between trust and daytime dysfunction (connection weight: -0.20), followed by trust and sleep duration (connection weight: -0.10). The strength, betweenness, and closeness of trust centrality indicators were 1.24, 2.34, and 1.73, respectively. Trust emerged as the core node within the interoceptive sensitivity cluster. The strength, betweenness, and closeness of daytime dysfunction indicators were 1.15, 1.92 and 1.67. Daytime dysfunction emerged as the core node within the sleep quality cluster. Trust served as a bridging role in the complex network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality.Conclusions:There is a strong correlation between trust and daytime dysfunction and sleep duration among colorectal cancer patients with colostomy. Trust is a key factor in the network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality. Clinical healthcare providers can develop targeted interventions based on trust to improve the interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality of colorectal cancer patients with colostomy.

Objective:To analyse the effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy and the coaxial biopsy needle tract radiofrequency ablation on patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma who are considered to be at risk of bleeding.Methods:The data of 117 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent coaxial biopsy needle tract radiofrequency ablation after ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy in Peking University First Hospital from March 2019 to April 2023 were retrospectively analysed. There were 95 males and 22 females, with the age of (62.0±11.8) years. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on the following variables: the pre-puncture platelet count, the international standardised ratio, anticoagulation therapy, the haemoglobin (Hb) level, the success rate of the liver puncture, the qualified rate of liver puncture specimens, the number of puncture samples, the length of hospital stay, the Hb level after puncture, bleeding within 10 days post-operation, and complications after ablation, including biliary fistula, hemothorax and organ perforation.Results:Among the 117 patients, 60 cases (51.3%) had an international normalized ratio >1.1, 40 cases (34.2%) had thrombocytopenia, that is, <150×10 9/L, and 17 cases (14.5%) received continuous anticoagulation therapy before the operation. It is evident that all 117 patients successfully completed the ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy, and that all liver biopsy specimens were qualified. The absence of biliary fistula, hemothorax, organ perforation or death in the patients post-ablation was noted. According to the adverse event evaluation criteria, version 5.0, 113 cases (96.6%) were classified as grade 1 and 4 cases (3.4%) were classified as grade 3. The Hb concentration of patients with minor bleeding (grade 1) prior to puncture was (119.7±22.2) g/L, which was significantly higher than the Hb concentration of patients with severe bleeding (grade 3), (76.0±10.4) g/L ( t=3.92, P=0.010). A meticulous examination of the data revealed that there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups with regard to pre-puncture platelet count, pre-puncture international standardised ratio, pre-puncture proportion of receiving anticoagulant drugs, length of hospital stay and number of puncture samples (all P>0.05). Conclusion:For patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who are at risk of bleeding, ultrasound-guided percutaneous liver biopsy followed by coaxial biopsy needle tract radiofrequency ablation can obtain satisfactory liver tissue samples and is relatively safe. There were differences in hemoglobin levels before puncture among patients with different bleeding after puncture.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of wentong guasha combined with herbal enema in the treatment of acute attack of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.Methods From January 2023 to December 2024,patients with acute attack of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease diagnosed and treated at Foshan Women and Children Hospital Affiliated to Guangdong Medical University were selected and randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group.The control group received herbal enema therapy,while the experimental group received additional wentong guasha therapy on the basis of the control group's treatment.Both groups were treated for two weeks.The clinical efficacy,safety outcomes,as well as Visual Analog Scale(VAS)scores for pain and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)scores before treatment and after the 3rd and 7th days of treatment were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 120 patients were included,with 60 cases in each group.After treatment,the total effective rate was 90.00%in the experimental group and 76.67%in the control group,showing a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).On the 3rd day of treatment,the VAS score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).By the 7th day of treatment,both the VAS and PSQI scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).No adverse reactions were observed in either group.Conclusion Compared with herbal enema therapy,wentong guasha combined with herbal enema demonstrated more significant clinical efficacy in patients with acute attack of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease,markedly reduced pain scores,improved sleep quality,and showed good safety,indicating its potential value for clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To explore the differences in early clinical features between Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS) and septic shock (SS).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. Clinical data was collected from 64 children who were diagnosed with KDSS or SS and admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Capital Center for Children′s Health, Capital Medical University from January 2018 to February 2025. Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, or Fisher′s exact test were used to compare the differences in clinical features, treatment, and outcomes between children with KDSS and SS. Lasso regression was applied to screen predictive variables, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with KDSS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of parameters for KDSS. Results:Among the 64 children (30 males and 34 females), the age was 3.6 (1.2, 6.5) years. There were 51 cases in the SS group and 13 cases in the KDSS group. Compared to children with SS, children with KDSS had a longer pre-shock fever duration, lower lactate levels and serum albumin levels, and higher soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) levels (all P<0.05). Additionally, they exhibited a higher incidence of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites, a higher utilization rate of intravenous immunoglobulin, and a lower utilization rate of invasive mechanical ventilation (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between KDSS and SS ( P=0.574). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R as independent factors associated with KDSS ( OR=1.52 and 1.54 per 1 000 U increase, 95% CI 1.12-2.05 and 1.06-2.24, respectively; both P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R in identifying KDSS were 0.83 (95% CI 0.73-0.94, P=0.001) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.53-0.87, P=0.042), respectively. The optimal cutoff values were 3.5 d and 3.8×10 6 U/L, with sensitivities of 0.91 and 0.82, and specificities of 0.71 and 0.62, respectively. Conclusions:Children with KDSS have higher incidences of coronary involvement, pericardial effusion, and ascites compared to those with SS. Pre-shock fever duration and sIL-2R may serve as potential early indicators for distinguishing KDSS from SS.

Objective:To explore the composition of oral microbiome in patients of long-term survival after liver transplantation, and compare the diversity and distribution of oral microbiome in liver transplant patients with or without liver cancer.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Clinical data of 20 patients of long-term survival after liver transplantation from Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from July 2023 to October 2023 were continuously collected, including 13 males and 7 females, aged 55 (48, 60) years. There were eight patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing liver transplantation and 12 non-HCC liver transplant patients. Oral microbiome was analyzed by 16S rDNA gene sequencing, and the diversity analysis and LEfSe analysis were performed.Results:The top ten groups of bacteria in the HCC and non-HCC liver transplant patients were both Bacteroidota, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Fusobacteriota, Patescibacteria, Campylobacterota, Cyanobacteria, spirochaetota, and Aenigmarchaeota. The top ten genus levels of bacteria in the HCC and non-HCC liver transplant patients were both Haemophilus, Porphyromonas, Gemella, Fusobacterium, Actinomyces, Prevotella, Rothia, Streptococcus, Neisseria. By LEfSe analysis, we found the enrichment of Flavobacteriales, Flavobacteriaceae, Capnocytophaga, Mogibacterium_timidum, Capnocytophaga_leadbetteri, Campylobacter_showae in the HCC group, while the enrichment of Veillonella_atypica, Prevotella_histicola in the non-HCC group.Conclusion:The main microbiome was similar between HCC and non-HCC liver transplant patients, but there were also some differences in microbiome communities.

Objective:To compare the differences in surgical safety and postoperative cosmetic effects between endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction and conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate subpectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction.Methods:The clinical data of early breast cancer patients admitted to the Department of Breast Surgery of Peking University Peoples Hospital from Oct 1, 2022 to Sep 13, 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into endoscopic surgery group (30 cases) and traditional surgery group (46 cases). There were no significant differences in the basic clinicopathological data, and the number of sentinel lymph nodes taken and axillary lymph nodes dissected between the patients in two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with that in traditional surgery group, the patients in endoscopic surgery group had longer operation time and more wound drainage volumes 3 days after surgery (all P<0.05). There was no significant differences in the probability of postoperative complications between the patients in two groups (all P>0.05), however, the proportion of nipple-areola complex necrosis in patients of endoscopic surgery group (10.0%) was lower than that of traditional surgery group (26.1%). Conclusions:The single-port insufflation technique-assisted endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction maximize the cosmetic effect. Under the premise of strict selection of indications, it can be an optional surgical method.
