Objective:To evaluate the effect of superior cervical ganglion block (SCGB) on cardiac function and nucleotide like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).Methods:Sixty healthy SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 250-300 g, aged 2-3 months, were divided into 4 groups ( n=15 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (sham group), myocardial I/R group (IR group), myocardial I/R + normal saline group (IR+ NS group), and myocardial I/R + SCGB group (IR+ SCGB group). Myocardial I/R model was developed by ligation of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery for 45 min followed by restoration of blood flow in anesthetized aninals. IR+ SCGB group received SCGB (0.25% ropivacaine 0.1 ml) at 10 min before reperfusion once a day for 2 consecutive weeks, while 0.9% sodium chloride was given instead of ropivacaine in IR+ NS group. Blood samples were collected at 24 h and 14 days of reperfusion for determination of serum concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), troponin T (TnT), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and IL-1β by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Echocardiography was performed before ischemia and at 14 days of reperfusion, and left ventricular short axis shortening rate (FS), ejection fraction (EF), and cardiac output (CO) were measured. The rats were sacrificed at 14 days of reperfusion and the hearts were taken for determination of the contents of norepinephrine (NE) in myocardial tissues in the infarction area (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), percentage of myocardial fibrosis area (by Masson staining), M1 macrophage marker CD68 + cell count in the infarction area (by immunohistochemical method), and expression of NLRP3 and gasdermin D (GSDMD) in myocardial tissues (by Western blot). Results:Compared with Sham group, the serum concentrations of TnT, TNF-α, IL-18 and IL-1β, percentage of myocardial fibrosis area, and NE levels in serum and myocardial tissues were significantly increased, the expression of NLRP3 and GSDMD in myocardial tissues was up-regulated, CD68 + cell count was increased, and EF, CO and FS were decreased in IR group ( P<0.05). Compared with IR group, the serum concentrations of TnT, TNF-α, IL-18 and IL-1β, percentage of myocardial fibrosis area, and NE levels in serum and myocardial tissues were significantly decreased, the expression of NLRP3 and GSDMD in myocardial tissues was down-regulated, CD68 + cell count was decreased, and EF, CO and FS were increased in IR+ SCGB group ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes were found in the parameters mentioned above in IR+ NS group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:SCGB can improve the cardiac function in a rat model of myocardial I/R, and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and genetic variations of stage Ⅰ lung adenocarci-noma with high-grade components,according to the new grading system of the WHO classification of thoracic tumors(2021).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clini-cal data of 785 patients with stage Ⅰ lung adenocarcinoma.HE,EnVision immunohistochemistry and Victoria blue staining were used,common genetic variation(EGFR/KRAS/ALK/ROS1/RET)were detected by PCR method.The correlation between different high-grade components and clinical pathological charac-teristics as well as genetic variations in stage Ⅰ lung adenocarci-noma were analyzed.Results A total of 785 cases of stage Ⅰlung adenocarcinoma were enrolled,including 332 cases with high-grade components and 453 cases without high-grade compo-nents.Among the adenocarcinomas with high-grade components,there were 7 cases of grade 1,150 cases of grade 2,and 175 ca-ses of grade 3.The positive rates of tumor cells spreading through airspace(STAS),vascular invasion,and pleural inva-sion in grade 2 adenocarcinoma with two high-grade components(61.5％,21.2％,26.9％)were significantly higher than that of the adenocarcinomas with only one high-grade component(20.4％,7.1％,5.1％),but there was no significant differ-ence in grade 3 adenocarcinoma.The positive rate(39.0％)of STAS in the micropapillary group with one high-grade component in grade 2 adenocarcinoma was significantly higher than that in the complex glandular group(9.3％)and the solid group(0),while there was no significant difference between the latter two groups.Among the three groups there were no statistically signif-icant differences in grade 3 adenocarcinoma.In 167 cases of ad-enocarcinoma with two or more high-grade components,there were 74 cases(44.3％)of complex glands combined with mi-cropapillary components,67 cases(40.1％)of complex glands combined with solid components,8 cases(4.8％)of micropap-illary combined with solid components,and 18 cases(10.8％)of three types of components.The positive rates of pleural inva-sion and KRAS gene mutation or fusion gene(ALK/ROS1/RET)in the group of complex glands combined with solid(49.3％,28.3％)were significantly higher as compared to those in the group of complex glands combined with micropapil-lary(27.0％,8.6％).The positive rate of psammoma bodies in the group with high-grade components(24.7％)was significant-ly higher than that in those without high-grade components(3.5％,P＜0.001),and the positive rate of psammoma bodies in group of gene mutation(EGFR/KRAS)(40.4％)was higher than that in the no-gene mutation group(26.7％,P＜0.05).Conclusion The clinicopathological features of different high-grade components in stage Ⅰ lung adenocarcinoma are not identi-cal,suggesting that their invasiveness may have different biologi-cal backgrounds.Characteristic morphological observations are helpful.

Objective:To explore the effect of plan-do-check-action (PDCA) theory in nursing human resource allocation.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, we selected shared nurses who had obtained qualification certificates after participating in hospital specialist nurse training as the research object. We carried out "Plan, Do, Check and Action" following the PDCA principle and analyzed the influencing factors of the lack of nursing human resources by the fishbone diagram. We also discussed the improvement measures and implemented them, and observed the implementation effect.Results:After the application of PDCA cycle management, patient satisfaction and nurse satisfaction were higher than those before improvement, and the incidence of adverse nursing events above grade Ⅳ decreased, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:PDCA cycle management can effectively improve the lack of nursing human resources and has certain promotion value.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic value of Copenhagen index (CPH-I), serum carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), and risk of ovarian malignancy algorithm (ROMA) for diagnosis of ovarian cancer in premenopausal and postmenopausal women.Methods:The clinical data of 239 patients with ovarian tumor treated in People's Hospital of Rizhao in Shandong Province from January 2017 to January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into ovarian benign disease group (152 cases) and ovarian cancer group (87 cases) according to postoperative pathology. The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) was drawn with surgical pathology as the gold standard; the area under the curve (AUC) and the sensitivity and specificity of CPH-I, CA125, HE4, ROMA were calculated. The diagnostic performance of CA125, HE4, ROMA and CPH-I for diagnosis of ovarian cancer was compared in overall, premenopausal and postmenopausal patients.Results:The CA125 level, HE4 level, ROMA index, and CPH-I predicted probability (PP) values of ovarian cancer group were higher than those of ovarian benign disease group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). The AUC of CA125, HE4, ROMA, and CPH-I in the overall patients was 0.935 (95% CI 0.896-0.963), 0.940 (95% CI 0.901-0.966), 0.964 (95% CI0.932-0.984), 0.964 (95% CI 0.932-0.984); the AUC differences of CA125 and ROMA, CA125 and CPH-I (PP values), HE4 and ROMA, HE4 and CPH-I PP values were statistically significant (P values were 0.036, 0.009, 0.018, 0.019). The AUC of HE4, ROMA, and CPH-I in the premenopausal patients was 0.947 (95% CI 0.896-0.978), 0.949 (95% CI 0.898-0.979), 0.944 (95% CI 0.893-0.976), which were all larger than AUC of CA125 (0.921) (95% CI 0.863-0.960), the differences were statistically significant (P values were 0.036, 0.036, 0.026); AUC of CA125, ROMA, CPH-I PP values in postmenopausal patients was 0.953 (95% CI 0.891-0.986), 0.947 (95% CI 0.882-0.982), 0.943 (95% CI 0.877-0.980), all of which were larger than AUC of HE4 (0.889) (95% CI 0.810-0.944), and the differences were statistically significant (P values were 0.029, 0.014, 0.015). Conclusions:The diagnostic efficacy of CPH-I and ROMA for ovarian cancer is comparable, and regardless of menopause or not, the diagnostic efficacy of CPH-I and ROMA is higher. The diagnostic efficacy of CPH-I and ROMA for ovarian cancer is better than that of CA125 and HE4 in overall patients, the diagnostic efficacy of CA125 is the lowest in premenopausal patients, and the diagnostic efficacy of HE4 is the lowest in postmenopausal patients.

Objective After implementation of new standard iodized salt,to comprehensively assess the iodine nutrition levels of different populations in Dali City of Yunnan Province.Methods From 2012 to 2015,in Dali City,there were 5 districts divided into east,west,south,north and middle,each district selected 1 township (town),and each township (town) selected 4 administrative villages,15 households for edible salt in each administrative village were sampled,and the salt iodine content was measured by "General Test Method in Salt Industry Determination of Iodine" (GB/T 13025.7-2012).In 2014,in the five districts of east,west,south,north and middle of Dali City,one township (town) was selected,and 20 pregnant women in the early,middle and late stages,respectively,20 lactating women,20 ordinary healthy adults and 20 children aged 0 to 4 were selected from each township (town);one primary school in each township (town) was selected in each district,and 40 students aged 8-10 years old were selected from each primary school as the survey objects.The urine samples of the survey objects were collected,and the urinary iodine content was measured by "Method for Determination of Iodine in Urine by As3+-Ce4+ Catalytic Spectrophotometry" (WS/T 107-2006).In 2015,in each administrative village of Dali,a water source with the largest number of drinking people was investigated,and water iodine was detected by the "Method of Water Iodine Detection Suitable for Iodine Deficiency and High Iodine Areas".Through questionnaires,the sources of iodine supplementation for pregnant and lactating women were investigated.Results The qualified iodized salt consumption rate of residents was higher than 90％ per year from 2012 to 2015,and median of salt iodine decreased from 29.38 mg/kg (2012) to 24.96 mg/kg (2015).The medians of urinary iodine in different populations were 136.85 μg/L for pregnant women (n =356),102.63 μg/L for lactating women (n =111),164.03 μg/L for adults (n =163),209.61 μg/L for 8-10 years old children (n =200),157.27 μg/L for children aged 0-＜ 2 years old (n =57),and 134.08 μg/L for 2-4 years old children (n =50).The median of iodine content of drinking water (n =142) in Dali was 0.62 μg/L,the range of iodine content was 0.00-9.92 μg/L.The average intake frequencies of iodine-rich seaweed for pregment women and lacting women were 0.99,1.07 time/month,respectively,only 1.99％ (9/453) of the population supplemented iodine through multivitamin and minerals tablets.Conclusions After reduction of salt iodine content,the iodine nutrition of populations in Dali City (a low water iodine region) is generally at an appropriate level.Maintaining a higher level of qualified iodized salt consumption rate,strengthening the monitoring of different populations and promotion of healthy behaviors are key steps in prevention and control of the disease in the future.

Objective To systematically evaluate the optimal dose of early enteral nutrition support in critically ill patients.Methods Systematic search database including PubMed,Web of science,Scopus,CINAHL,CBM,CNKI.RCTs about early enteral nutrition dose selections in critically ill patients were chosen according to include and exclude criteria by two researchers independently.Cochrane system evaluation manual bias risk assessment was used to evaluate quality of literature.RevMan5.3 Meta analysis software was used to analyze the data.Results A total of 1 571 literatures were retrieved and 8 RCT studies were included,2 713 subjects in total.Meta analysis results showed that there were statistically significant differences in mechanical ventilation time,incidence of diarrhea,and utilization rate of gastro dynamic drugs between trophic feeding and full feeding (P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in mortality,length of stay,incidence of nosocomial infections,reflux,vomiting,constipation,etc.(P＞0.05).Conclusions Trophic feeding has familiar effects on mortality,length of hospital stay compared to full feeding,but it can help to shorten ICU mechanical ventilation time,improve the gastrointestinal tolerability.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of the pulmonary perfusion tomography combined with low dose CT scan (Q SPECT/ CT) in detecting acute pulmonary embolism (PE) by compa-ring with pulmonary ventilation/ perfusion (V/ Q) SPECT imaging. Methods A total of 203 patients sus-pected with acute PE (88 males, 115 females, age range 19-94 years) from January 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in this retrospective study. All patients underwent V/ Q SPECT and low dose CT scan. Final clinical diagnosis was regarded as the gold standard. The diagnostic consistency and diagnostic efficacy of Q SPECT/ CT were compared with those of V/ Q SPECT. χ2 test was used to compare the differences be-tween the two methods. Kappa analysis was used to analyze the agreement of them. Results The coinci-dence rate of Q SPECT/ CT and V/ Q SPECT was 94.09％(191/ 203), Kappa= 0.882, P<0.001. Among the 12 cases with inconsistent diagnosis, 9 were finally diagnosed as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of Q SPECT / CT in the diagnosis of PE were 95. 12％(78/ 82), 80.99％(98/ 121), 77.23％(78/ 101), 96.08％(98/ 102), 86. 70％ ( 176/ 203). The counterpart parameters of V/ Q SPECT were 95. 12％ ( 78/ 82), 90. 91％(110/ 121), 87.64％ (78/ 89), 96.49％ (110/ 114), 92.61％ (188/ 203). Compared with V/ Q SPECT, Q SPECT/ CT had the same sensitivity but lower specificity (χ2 = 4.928, P = 0.026). The positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of Q SPECT/ CT were lower than those of V/ Q SPECT, but there was no significant difference (χ2 values: 3.491, 0.000, 3.824, all P>0.05). Conclusion In the majority of patients with suspected acute PE, V/ Q SPECT scan can be replaced by Q SPECT/ CT, but it must be careful to select Q SPECT/ CT for patients with COPD history.

After the treatment, there were significant differences in comparing the cerebral blood flow indicators between group A1 and B1, A2 and B2, and A3 and B3 (P<0.05).Conclusion Stage treatment withTiao He Ying Wei needling can improve the sleep quality of insomnia patients.

ABSTRACT:Objective To evaluate the expressions of cell adhesion molecules CD146 and transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1)in ovarian epithelial cancer and investigate their relationship with clinical pathological features of patients with ovarian epithelial cancer (OEC ) so as to further explore the pathogenesis of OEC. Methods Immunohistochemistry was employed to determine the expressions of CD146 and TfR1 in normal,benign and ovarian cancer tissues.Results The immunohistochemical results showed that the positive expressions of CD146 and TfR1 gradually increased with the changes of normal,benign and malignant tissues in OEC.There were significant differences between all the groups (P<0.05).The advanced the clinical stage,the higher the expression rate (P<0 .0 5 ).The lower the histopathological differentiation,the higher the expression rate (P<0 .0 5 ).The expressions of CD146 and TfR1 were not correlated with age or pathological patterns (P>0.05).There was a significant correlation between expressions of CD146 and TfR1 in OEC (P<0.05,rs=0.532).Combined detection sensitivity and specificity were 82.4% and 75.0%.Conclusion The high expressions of CD146 and TfR1 may play a key role in the occurrance,progression and metastasis of OEC.They may be used as potential markers for diagnosis,postoperative follow-up and targeted therapy.
