Objective To discuss the effect of multidisciplinary family empowerment mode in home care for patients after receiving percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy(PEG).Methods A total of 86 patients,who received initial PEG at the Jilin Provincial Cancer Hospital of China from January 2021 to July 2023,were selected for this study.The patients were randomly divided into observation group.The patients of the control group received routine nursing guidance for gastrostomy,while the patients of the observation group received multidisciplinary family empowerment nursing mode.The self-care ability[using self-care ability scale of the elderly(SASE)score],health behavior ability[using self-rating scale of health behavior ability(SRAHP)score],incidence of complications,and healing time of complications were compared between the two groups.Results In the observation group the SASE[(129.48±5.48)points vs.(73.05±12.04)points]and the SRAHP[(80.14±1.00)points vs.(70.25±7.92)points]were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.05),the incidence of complications was lower than that in the control group,and the healing time of complications was shorter than that in the control group.Conclusion The implementation of multidisciplinary family empowerment nursing mode can improve the self-care ability and health behavior ability of patients after receiving PEG,reduce postoperative complications,as well as shorten the healing time of complications,therefore,this nursing mode is suitable for home patients after receiving PEG.

Objective:To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 regulating miRNA-675 (miR-675) and phosphatase and tensin homologue-deleted chromosome ten gene (PTEN) on the cell proliferation of glioma.Methods:Glioma cell lines U87-MG and U251 were chosen. The siRNA online design tool wad used to design small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting H19. U87-MG and U251 cell lines with the stable knockdown of H19 were constructed (the stable knockdown of H19 group), and the cells randomly transfected with siRNA plasmid were taken as the control group, and normal cultured cells were treated as the blank group. Additionally, miR-675 and control microRNA were transfected into U87-MG and U251 with the stable knockdown of H19 (the overexpressing miR-675 group and the corresponding control group). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression levels of miR-675 and H19 in each group; the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect the cell proliferation ability; the dual luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the targeting relationship between miR-675 and PTEN; Western blot was used to detect the relative expression level of PTEN protein.Results:The MTT assay results showed that the proliferation ability of U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group was lower than that of the corresponding control group; and the differences in cell proliferation ability of all the groups after 48 h of culture were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). qRT-PCR detection results showed that the relative expression level of miR-675 in U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group and the corresponding control group was 0.329±0.009 and 1.043±0.087, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 14.15, P < 0.001); the relative expression level of miR-675 in U87-MG cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group and the corresponding control group was 0.299±0.009 and 1.027±0.106, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 11.85, P < 0.001); the relative expression level of miR-675 in U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group was lower than that of the corresponding control group. The dual luciferase reporter gene assay verified that miR-675 could bind to the 3'-UTR of PTEN. Western blot detection results showed that the relative expression level of PTEN protein in U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group was higher than that of the corresponding control group and the blank group; in the U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group, the relative expression level of PTEN in the overexpressing miR-675 group was lower than that of the corresponding blank group and the control group. In the U87-MG and U251 cells in the stable knockdown of H19 group, the cell proliferation ability of the overexpressing miR-675 group was higher than that of the corresponding blank group and the control group; the differences in cell proliferation ability of all the groups after 48 h of culture were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:lncRNA H19 may regulate the cell proliferation of glioma cells through the miR-675-PTEN signaling pathway.

Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy, affecting up to 3% of women at some point during their lifetime (Morice et al., 2016; Li and Wang, 2021). Based on the pathogenesis and biological behavioral characteristics, endometrial cancer can be divided into estrogen-dependent (I) and non-estrogen-dependent (II) types (Ulrich, 2011). Type I accounts for approximately 80% of cases, of which the majority are endometrioid carcinomas, and the remaining are mucinous adenocarcinomas (Setiawan et al., 2013). It is generally recognized that long-term stimulation by high estrogen levels with the lack of progesterone antagonism is the most important risk factor; meanwhile, there is no definite conclusion on the specific pathogenesis. The incidence of endometrial cancer has been on the rise during the past two decades (Constantine et al., 2019; Gao et al., 2022; Luo et al., 2022). Moreover, the development of assisted reproductive technology and antiprogestin therapy following breast cancer surgery has elevated the risk of developing type I endometrial cancer to a certain extent (Vassard et al., 2019). Therefore, investigating the influence of estrogen in type I endometrial cancer may provide novel concepts for risk assessment and adjuvant therapy, and at the same time, provide a basis for research on new drugs to treat endometrial cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of pectoral nerve block type Ⅱ combined with esketamine on anxiety and depression in the patients with breast cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy under general anesthesia.Methods:Eighty-four female patients, aged 18-64 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰor Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, undergoing elective first-time modified radical mastectomy for unilateral breast cancer, were divided into 2 groups ( n=42 each) using a random number table method: routine group (R group) and pectoral nerve block type Ⅱ combined with esketamine group (PS group). Sufentanil was used for anesthesia induction and postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in group R, esketamine was used for anesthesia induction and postoperative PCIA, and type Ⅱ thoracic nerve block was performed under ultrasound guidance after anesthesia induction in group PS, and the rest of the drugs used were the same in both groups.The observer′s assessment of awareness/sedation scale score was recorded at the end of surgery, 30 min after the end of surgery, and at 6, 12 and 24 h after surgery.The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess patients′ anxiety and depression at 1 day before surgery and at discharge.The intraoperative consumption of anesthetics, emergence time, postanesthesia care unit stay time, pressing times of PCIA, requirement for rescue analgesia, hospital costs, length of postoperative hospital stay, satisfaction scores of surgeons and patients were recorded at discharge.The occurrence of adverse reactions was also recorded after operation. Results:Compared with group R, the observer′s assessment of awareness/sedation scale score were significantly increased at the end of surgery and 30 min after surgery, the consumption of propofol and remifentanil was decreased, the emergence time and postanesthesia care unit stay time were shortened, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was decreased, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale score was decreased at discharge, the incidence of anxiety and depression was decreased, the satisfaction scores of surgeons and patients were increased, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was shortened in group PS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Pectoral nerve block type Ⅱ combined with esketamine can optimize the efficacy of anesthesia and relieve early postoperative anxiety and depression in the patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer under general anesthesia.

Objective:To summarize the perioperative nursing points of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures assisted by robots, so as to provide reference for orthopedic nursing.Methods:From July 2019 to February 2021, the data of 72 patients undergoing robot-assisted PKP in the spinal surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The perioperative nursing points were summarized, and the nursing experience was summarized. The nursing under the new measures of precise minimally invasive treatment was analyzed and discussed. The length of hospital stay, postoperative ambulation time, complications and satisfaction survey results of patients were collected and recorded. The Numerical Rating Scale(NRS) score, Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) score and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score before and after surgery were compared. The correlation analysis of the scores of various factors was combined to comprehensively evaluate the surgical and nursing effects.Results:All patients had no complications related to machine use during and after operation, and their symptoms were improved to varying degrees. Fifty-seven cases of indwelling catheter, catheter time (19.00±14.24) h. The preoperative hospitalization time was (6.16±2.22) d, and the postoperative hospitalization time was (1.94±0.99) d. Postoperative bed time was (16.34±6.81) h. Postoperative nursing satisfaction was (98.55±2.44)%.The postoperative NRS and SAS scores were (1.00±0.55) and (32.06±5.33) points, respectively, which were lower than those before operation (3.51 ± 0.71) and (39.08±8.86) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 33.976, 8.184, P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in six indicators of ODI scores before and after surgery, including low back pain, walking, standing, sitting, sleep and self-care ( P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that there was a strong correlation between the six ODI score factors and the NRS score. The four factors of sitting, walking, low back pain and standing were highly correlated with SAS. Conclusions:The implementation of good perioperative nursing management for patients with PKP assisted by robot can effectively promote the rehabilitation of patients, reduce the incidence of complications and improve patient satisfaction.

Objective:To investigate the association between early central venous pressure (CVP) measurement and mortality in patients with sepsis.Methods:The adult patients with sepsis were identified from the health data of Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅲ v1.4 (MIMIC-Ⅲ v1.4). Data of all adult patients with sepsis were collected, including gender, age, comorbidities, length of survival, total length of hospital stay and intensive care unit (ICU) stay, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, vital signs, laboratory test results on the first day, vasoactive agents usage, fluid input, urine output and fluid balance on the first day, need for renal replacement therapy and mechanical ventilation, diagnosis of sepsis, and the time and value of the first CVP measurement in the ICU. Patients were divided into early measurement and control groups based on whether or not they had a CVP measurement within the first 6 hours of ICU stay. According to the time of the first CVP measurement, the patients were subdivided into four subgroups: ≤ 3 hours, 4-6 hours, 7-12 hours and no measurement within 12 hours. The primary endpoint was 28-day mortality. The relationship between initial CVP and mortality was analyzed by Lowess smoothing method. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-Rank test were performed for univariate analysis. Cox regression analysis was performed for multivariate analysis to estimate the relationship between timeliness of CVP measurement and mortality.Results:A total of 4 733 sepsis patients were enrolled, 1 673 of whom had CVP measured within 6 hours of admission to the ICU, and the other 3 060 patients served as the control group. There were no differences in demographic characteristics and underlying diseases between the two groups, except that the early CVP measurement group had less underlying renal failure compared with control group. The early CVP measurement group had higher lactic acid (Lac) levels and SOFA scores, indicating worse severity of disease as compared with control group. The 28-day mortality in the early CVP measurement group was significantly lower than that in the control group (34.2% vs. 40.7%, P < 0.01). The early CVP measurement group had shorter length of total hospitalization and longer length of ICU stay, higher rate of mechanical ventilation and vasoactive agents dependent, and more fluid input and fluid balanced in the first day of ICU stay compared with control group. Lowess smoothing analysis showed that a "U"-shaped relationship between initial CVP and mortality was identified, suggesting that too high or too low initial CVP was associated with worse survival. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that compared with the patients without early CVP measurement within 12 hours, the cumulative survival rate of patients with CVP measured within 3 hours was significantly higher (66.7% vs. 59.1%; Log-Rank test: χ2 = 15.810, adjusted P < 0.001); while no significant difference was found in patients with CVP measured between 4 hours and 6 hours and between 7 hours and 12 hours compared with the patients without early CVP measurement within 12 hours (64.4%, 60.3% vs. 59.1%; Log-Rank test: χ2 values were 5.630 and 0.100, and adjusted P values were 0.053 and > 0.999, respectively). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the Cox proportional risk model was established by taking patients without CVP measurement within 12 hours as reference, timely CVP measurement after ICU admission was associated with reduced 28-day mortality of patients with sepsis [≤3 hours: hazard ratio ( HR) = 0.65, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.55-0.77, P < 0.001; 4-6 hours: HR = 0.72, 95% CI was 0.60-0.87, P = 0.001; 7-12 hours: HR = 0.80, 95% CI was 0.66-0.98, P = 0.032] after the confounding variables (gender, age, SOFA score, initial Lac, renal failure, maximal blood glucose and white blood cell count, and minimal platelet count within 24 hours) were adjusted. Conclusions:Early CVP measurement is associated with decreased 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis. CVP should be considered as a valuable and easily accessible safety parameter during early fluid resuscitation.

Objective:To explore the relationship between semi-quantitative parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and long-term prognosis of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and to find prognostic indicators from non-invasive images of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:Data were collected from January 2011 to January 2012 via a prospective clinical trial with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Clinical information was from 71 patients who completed the treatment plan with long-term follow-ups and UICC 2010 stage Ⅲ, Ⅳ A, Ⅳ B. The patients received three cycles of Taxotere-Platinol-Fluorouracil (TPF) regimen chrono-chemotherapy, followed by two cycles of concurrent paclitaxel chemotherapy with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). DCE-MRI examination was performed before induction chemotherapy to obtain DCE-MRI related semi-quantitative parameters. Correlation analysis was conducted between DCE-MRI related semi-quantitative parameters and short-term efficacy of nasopharyngeal lesions after concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Results:Of all 77 patients, 71 completed treatment and were followed up from 9 to 86 months, with a median follow-up of 77 months, with 80.2% and 67.6% in 3- and 5-year OS, 73.2% and 60.5% in 3- and 5-year PFS, respectively. Evaluation of short-term efficacy of nasopharyngeal lesions after concurrent chemoradiotherapy: the difference in tissue arrival time of contrast agent between complete response (CR) group and partial response (PR) group was statistically significant ( t=0.537, P<0.05). Univariate survival analysis found that OS ( χ2=3.982, P<0.05) and PFS ( χ2=4.019, P<0.05) in the group with short contrast arrival time were significantly higher than those in the group with long contrast arrival time. OS ( χ2=7.593, P<0.05) and PFS ( χ2=5.624, P<0.05) of patients aged over 45 years were significantly lower than those aged less than 45 years. Cox multivariate regression model showed that advanced clinical stage (stage Ⅳ A, Ⅳ B) ( P=0.048) and age≥45 years ( P=0.031) were independent prognostic factors of OS in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Long arrival time of contrast agent ( P=0.018), age≥45 years ( P=0.004), advanced N(2-3) stage ( P=0.032) and enhancement peak<3 000 ( P=0.005) were independent prognostic factors of PFS in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Conclusions:The arrival time of the contrast agent in DCE-MRI may be a reliable prognostic factor for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective:To explore influence on physical development of children aged 18 months from HIV-positive mothers for prevention mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and provide evidence for the improvement PMTCT program.Methods:This retrospective case control study was conducted in 554 HIV negative infants aged 18 months whose HIV positive mothers had received PMTCT services reported through PMTCT system database from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2017 and 1 109 healthy infants born in 2017, whose mothers were healthy, in Lingshan, Luzhai, and Hengxian counties, ranking top three counties with high HIV infection prevalence, in Guangxi. PMTCT data and physical development data such as height, weight and head circumference of children aged 18 months were collected. The physical dysplasia in the infants was defined as at least one of the three main indicators of height, weight and head circumference below the normal range.Results:The number of HIV-positive mother and their infants in the case group were 667 and 554 respectively, and the PMTCT rates were 91.15 % (608/667) and 96.57 % (535/554) respectively. HIV positive rate, mortality rate and mother to child transmission rate of the infants aged 18 months were 1.44 % (8/554), 3.07 % (17/554) and 1.91 % (8/418) respectively, and the physical examination results of the infants aged 18 months showed that the physical dysplasia rate was 30.51 % (169/554). Among the 1 109 infants in the control group, the physical dysplasia rate was 9.83 % (109/1 109). The difference between the case group and the control group was significant ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The PMTCT rates of HIV positive mother and their children were more than 90.00 %, respectively. However, poor physical development rate of infants aged 18 months were more than 30.00 %. The possible influence of PMTCT on physical development of the infants aged 18 months of HIV positive mother’s needs to be further studied.
