Objective:To investigate the role of the Brock, Mayo, and PKUPH combined model in risk stratification of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) in health check-up population.Methods:An ambispective cohort study was conducted on 668 eligible SPNs cases from the health management center in Chongqing General Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019. The exposure condition was prospectively followed or historically retrospected, and the clinical outcomes were prospectively followed. SPNs were classified into benign and malignant groups. Descriptive statistics and univariate analysis were performed to assess the differences in risk characteristics between two groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, clinical decision curve, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were used to evaluate and compare the predictive performance, clinical utility, and calibration of the combined model versus individual Brock, Mayo, and PKUPH models.Results:Among the 668 SPNs cases, 82 (12.28%) were diagnosed as malignant. Age, sex, smoking history, extrapulmonary tumor history, diameter, upper lobe, clear border and spicule sign in the malignant group were significantly different from those in the benign group (all P<0.05). The combined model demonstrated superior predictive performance, clinical utility, and calibration compared to the best-performing individual Brock model [Area under the curve (AUC): 0.88 (95% CI: 0.84-0.92) vs 0.86 (95% CI: 0.82-0.91)]. Besides, multi-grade risk stratification enabled by the combined model was better than binary classification, with the malignant rate of the four risk levels were 0.60%, 4.62%, 14.58% and 56.07%, respectively. Conclusion:The combined model addresses the limitations of individual models in SPNs risk stratification for health examination populations, improving predictive performance, clinical utility, and calibration, while proposing a superior multi-grade risk stratification system.

This article analyzes the data of 9 patients who developed intestinal fistula after urological surgery. The intestinal fistula involved the duodenum，ileum，colon，or rectum，and the surgery covered kidney or ureteral surgery，total cystectomy，ileal bladder replacement surgery，and radical prostatectomy. Two special cases involved sigmoid colon and rectal injury after intestinal lavage. Among them，5 cases were cured by abdominal negative pressure flushing treatment，2 cases were cured by surgical fistula repairing，and 2 cases died due to cardiovascular complications. Most patients with intestinal fistula can be cured by sufficient draining out the abdominal cavity. In cases of poor drainage，colostomy or enteric fistula repair can be conducted.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum miRNA-21 and miR-27b levels and prognosis of patients with renal clear cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 118 patients with renal clear cell carcinoma admitted to the Qinghai University Hospital from February 2019 to April 2021 were selected as the study subjects,and another 118 healthy patients in the same period as the control group.Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detect the expression of miR-21 and miR-27b in the serum of all subjects.The relative expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b between the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma and healthy control patients were compared.The expression and correlation of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma of different pathological stages and Fuhrman grading were analyzed.The relationship between the expression of serum miR-21 and miR-27b and the survival and prognosis of the patients was explored as well.Results The expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in the patients with renal clear cell carcinoma were higher than those in the healthy control group(P＜0.05).The serum miR-21 expression level in stage Ⅲ patients was higher than in stageⅠ(P＜0.05),while the serum miR-21 expression level in the stage Ⅳ patients was higher than that in stagesⅠ,Ⅱ,and Ⅲ(P＜0.05).The expression level of miR-27b in the serum of patients gradually increased across the four stages,with a significant difference(P＜0.05).The pathological staging was positively correlated with the expression of miR-21 and miR-27b(P＜0.001).The expression levels of miR-21 and miR-27b in serum of patients gradually increased across grades Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ by Fuhrman grading,with significant difference(P＜0.05).Fuhrman grading was positively correlated with the serum miR-21 and miR-27b expression(P＜0.001).There was a statistically significant difference in the survival curve between the miR-21 high expression group and the low expression group(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the survival curve between the high expression group and the low expression group of miR-27b(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of serum miR-21 and miR-27b in patients with renal clear cell carcinoma is indicative of the progression and prognosis of the patient's condition.

Objective: To investigate the application value of Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skill Model (IMB)-based continuing care on the recovery of nerve function and life quality in patients with stroke after thrombolytic therapy. Methods: Stroke patients who underwent thrombolytic therapy were randomly assigned to IMB group(35 cases) and control group(35 cases) according to the method of random number table. The control group recieved routine thrombolysis nursing, IMB group was given IMB-based continuing care. After six months of intervention, nerve function was evaluated by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) and Modified Rankin Scale(MRS), the active ability was performed by Fugl-Meyer Assessment Scale(FMA) and Barthel Index(BI), the quality of life was assessed by the item short from health survey(SF-36), respectively. Results: Before intervention, the scores of NIHSS, MRS, FMA, BI, SF-36 between two groups was no significant difference (P>0.05). After three and six months of nursing, the NIHSS, MRS was (7.84±2.20), (5.00±1.60) points and (3.48±0.84), (3.07±0.69) points in IMB group, and (9.75±1.82), (8.21±1.37) points and (4.06±1.08), (3.91±0.71) points in control group, there was significant difference between two groups (t =2.417-8.647, P<0.01 or 0.05). After one, three and six months of intervention, FMA was (65.86±5.67), (76.41±8.47), (78.79±8.58) points, BI was (46.29±7.29), (58.09±10.20), (67.50±9.44) points, SF-36 was (33.13±4.64), (43.09±6.70), (49.83±8.56) points in IMB group, (58.53±8.92), (64.47±7.56), (71.81±8.90) points, (42.47±5.67), (48.74±5.39), (56.03±6.55) points and (29.63±4.06), (35.91±5.93), (41.02±9.05) points in control group, there was significant difference between two groups (t =2.333-5.972, P< 0.05). Moreover, in the repeated measures ANOVA showed the differences of NIHSS, MRS, FMA, BI, SF-36 were statistically significant for the group by time interaction(F=13.556-133.994, P<0.05). Conclusions IMB-based continuing care can promotes the recovery of nerve function and improves the quality of life in patients with stroke after thrombolytic therapy.

Objective To investigate and analyze the relationship of the level of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and carotid artery atherosclerosis with acute cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods Fifty-nine patients with ACI were assigned as experimental group and thirty healthy people as control group. The serum level of hs-CRP was measured, and the carotid plaques and the changes of carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT) were examined by color Doppler ultrasonography.Then the relationship between the serum level of hs-CRP and the severity of disease was analyzed.Results The serum level of hs-CRP was higher in ACI group than in control group [(5.96± 1.52)mg/L vs. (1.78±1.02) mg/L, t=15.383, P＜0.01]. The detection rates of carotid plaques and the increased carotid IMT were higher in ACI group than in control group [77.97% vs. 36.67%, x2 =12.92, P＜0.01; (1.18±0.17) mm vs. (1.02±0.15) mm, t=4.544, P＜0.05]. The hs-CRP levels were higher in the severe cases [(15.68±1.45) mg/L] than in moderate cases [(4.16±1.39)mg/L] and mild cases [(1.88±0.34) mg/L, t=37. 217, 25. 243, both P＜0.01]. Conclusions The elevated levels of hs-CRP have overt clinical significances for the atherothrombotic cerebral infarction. Early determination of hs-CRP is helpful to evaluate patient's condition and prognosis.
