Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for postoperative pathological escalation of endometrial cancer in patients with a pathologic diagnosis of endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN) before surgery. Some of the clues from the preoperative assessment were used to build a nomogram to predict the likely pathological escalation after surgery, and to explore the feasibility of sentinel lymph node biopsy in these patients with possible pathological escalation. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent surgical treatment for EIN diagnosed before surgery between 2018 and 2023 in The Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University. parameters including clinical, radiological and histopathological factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression to determine the correlation with pathology upstaging. A nomogram based on the multivariate results was developed to predict the probability of pathology upstaging. A total of 729 patients were included, divided into training set and validation set. 484 patients were used to build the model. This nomogram was subsequently validated using 245 patients. Results: Upstaging to endometrial carcinoma occurred in 115 (23.8 percent) of 484 women treated between 2018 and 2023 in training set. A lager endometrial thickness (at least 15 mm), menopause, hypertension, HE4, and endometrial blood were significantly associated with upstaging. A nomogram developed using these factors demonstrated good predictive performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC)=0.6808; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.6246–0.7369). The nomogram showed similar predictive performance in the validation data set, based on another 245 women (AUC=0.7821; 95% CI=0.7076–0.8567). Conclusion This study developed a novel nomogram based on the 5 most important factors, which can accurately predict invasive cancer. It is common for women with preoperative diagnosis of EIN to experience pathological progression to endometrial cancer. For some patients with postoperative pathological escalation, we found lymph node metastasis. This nomogram may be useful to help doctor decide whether to perform sentinel lymph node biopsy for surgical staging in these EIN patients. According to the nomogram, simultaneous sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with high probability of postoperative pathological upgrading can provide better guidance for postoperative adjuvant treatment of endometrial cancer and avoid the occurrence of secondary surgery.

Objective To explore the mechanisms of Buyang Huanwu Decoction(BYHWD)in reducing oxidative stress levels to protect the blood-brain barrier(BBB)in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury(CIRI)rats.Methods A middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion(MCAO/R)model in rats was established via wire embolization method.PeriCam PSI laser speckle flow imaging was applied to detect whether the model was successfully established.Neurological deficits in the rats were evaluated by Zea Longa score,and histopathological changes in the rat brain were observed by HE staining.The degree of brain edema was detected by the dry and wet weight method.BBB permeability was detected by Evans blue staining,and ultrastructural changes to the BBB were observed by transmission electron microscopy.The levels of ROS,MDA and SOD activities,which are related to oxidative stress,were detected using kits.The expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)were detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot.The expression levels of Occludin,ZO-1,and Claudin-5 tight junction proteins were determined via immunofluorescence and Western blot.Results BYHWD reduced neurological deficit scores,alleviated brain histopathological damage,alleviated BBB structural disruption,prolonged the appearance of dense regions in the tight junction structure,attenuated edema of the brain on the ischemic side,and reduced BBB permeability in MCAO/R rats.BYHWD decreased the levels of ROS and MDA,increased the activity of SOD,decreased the expression levels of MMP-9,and increased the expression levels of Occludin,Claudin-5 and ZO-1.Conclusions BYHWD can increase BBB tight junction protein expression levels,reduce the permeability of the BBB,protect the ultrastructure of the BBB,and reduce brain edema,and its mechanisms may be related to its antioxidant activity and inhibition of MMP-9 activation.

Background: Several risk factors have been identified that compromise the treatment outcome in patients with early-to-mid-stage cervical cancer (CC) who are primarily treated with radical surgery. However, there is no report on the impact of intraoperative frozen pathology examination of vaginal margins on the prognosis of patients with CC. This study aimed to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine whether selective vaginal resection can reduce the incidence of operative complications and the risk of postoperative radiotherapy. The impact of the length of the vagina removed in radical hysterectomy (RH) on prognosis and quality of life (QoL) for IB2–IIA2 CC patients will be investigated. Methods A multicenter, non-inferiority, RCT at 7 institutions in China is designed to investigate the effect of intraoperative frozen pathology exam of vaginal margin in RH on the survival outcomes for patients with IB2–IIA2 CC. Eligible patients aged 18–70 years will be randomly assigned online by one-to-one random allocation to receive intraoperative frozen pathology exam of vaginal margin or not. If frozen pathology indicates positive margin, continue resection of 1 centimeter of vaginal tissue until negative margin is achieved. The primary end point is 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). Adverse events (AEs) caused by further vagina resection, 5-year DFS, 2-year overall survival (OS), 5-year OS and AEs caused by radiotherapy and QoL are secondary end points. A total of 310 patients will be enrolled from 7 tertiary hospitals in China within 3-year period and followed up for 5 years.Trial Registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry Identifier: ChiCTR2000035668

Objective:To summarize the best evidences for screening and evaluation of cancer-related fatigue in patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy and apply them to clinical nursing practice, so as to improve clinical nursing service, reduce the level of cancer-related fatigue and improve the quality of life of patients.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 48 patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy who were admitted to Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from May 6 to June 28, 2019 were selected as the control group, while 50 patients who were admitted from September 2 to October 30, 2019 were selected as the observation group. Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Practical Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) was used as a review tool to screen the detection rate of cancer-related fatigue of patients after the application of evidence and investigate the implementation rate of nurses' review standards. The scores of Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire on Cancer-related Fatigue Management and the Chinese version of European Organization for Research and Treatment Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 V3.0, EORTC-C30 V3.0 (EORTC-C30 V3.0) were compared before and after the use of evidence. The t test was used to compare the measurement data between the two groups, and the χ 2 test or Fisher's exact test was used to compare the enumeration data. Results:The implementation rates of review indicators after the application of evidence reached 86% (43/50) to 100% (50/50) . After application of the evidence, scores of knowledge, attitude and practice dimensions of Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire on Cancer-related Fatigue Management were respectively (99.50±1.37) , (39.06±1.00) and (30.69±1.08) , which were all higher than those before the evidence was applied, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-16.023, -7.258, -19.769; P<0.05) . The detection rates of mild, moderate and severe fatigue in the observation group were 52% (26/50) , 26% (13/50) and 6% (3/50) , respectively. The scores of body, role, cognitive, emotional function and general health status in the Chinese version of EORTC-C30 V3.0 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, while the score of fatigue dimension was lower than that in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.193, -2.487, -3.743, -2.202, -1.067, -3.100, 3.273; P<0.05) . Conclusions:The best evidence for screening and evaluation of cancer-related fatigue in patients undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer can provide evidence-based evidence for clinical fatigue management, and its clinical application can improve the identification and management of cancer-related fatigue, standardize nurse behavior, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To analyze the application of dexmedetomidine in intracranial arterial stenting and its influence on the serum myocardial enzyme ,cardiac troponin I(cTnI) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Methods From March 2015 to March 2017,94 cases with intracranial arterial stenting in the People's Hospital of Lishui were divided into control group and observation group by the random number table method ,with 47 cases in each group.The control group was treated with conventional anesthesia ,the observation group was treated with dexme-detomidine.The enzyme creatine phosphate kinase isoenzyme (CK -MB),creatine phosphate kinase (CK),cTnI, LVEF,inflammatory factor, neural function, brain oxygen metabolism and complications in the two groups were compared.Results After surgery,the CK-MB,CK,cTnI levels of the observation group were lower than those of the control group[(35.27 ±4.41) U/L,(488.30 ±61.03) U/L,(3.85 ±0.49) μg/L vs.(46.40 ±5.79) U/L, (611.21 ±76.40)U/L,(4.72 ±0.59)μg/L],the LVEF of the observation group was higher than that of the control group[(45.60 ±5.72)%vs.(43.12 ±5.39)%],the differences were statistically significant (t＝10.484,8.619, 7.777,2.163,all P＜0.05).The interleukin -6(IL-6) and interleukin -8(IL-8),tumor necrosis factor -α (TNF-α),S-100β,specificity enolization enzyme(NSE),cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen(ERO2),arterial blood oxygen saturation(PaO2),carotid venous blood oxygen saturation (SjvO2) of the observation group were better than those of the control group(t＝5.794,6.177,15.065,6.964,5.606,3.147,2.116,2.807,all P＜0.05).The inci-dence rate of complication of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (χ2＝17.091,P＜0.05). Conclusion Application of dexmedetomidine in intracranial arterial stenting can protect myocardium , inhibit the serum levels of myocardial enzyme ,cTnI rise,and is conducive to the recovery of LVEF.

Theandhave been the state-compiled textbooks of acupuncture-moxibustion in colleges and universities of TCM for nearly more than half a century, which play a regulating and guiding role for acupuncture education and to a certain extent represent the development status of this discipline. The indications included infrom 1th edition to 7th edition andfrom 1th edition to 3rd edition were analyzed in this study, which was aimed to basically reflect the current situation of acupuncture indications. As a result, it was found the inheritance and innovation of indications were both reflected in each edition of textbooks, 1/3 of which occurred repeatedly in more than half of the textbooks, and 1/3 of which occurred only once. The indications were classified by internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, dermatology, orthopedics, etc., which were not consistent with system classification of modern medicine such as digestive system, respiratory system, etc. The indications were mainly named after TCM disease names, involving only several names of western medicine diseases, which were contradicted to the names adopted from journals and literature. This inconformity of classification method and naming method between TCM and western medicine was not only a difficulty for modern acupuncture and moxibustion, but also an essential factor to hinder the development of acupuncture, therefore comparative study was needed in the future.
