Pulmonary complications, the most common postoperative complications of lung cancer, not only affect the quality of life of the patients after surgery but also increase the prognostic risks of postoperative recurrence and metastasis, threatening the life safety. At present, a multidisciplinary model of diagnosis and rehabilitation with integrated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine has been initially formed under the guidance of the concept of rapid rehabilitation post operation for lung cancer. However, the treatment that only aims at shortening hospital stay and reducing the incidence of postoperative complications does not pay enough attention to the postoperative functional rehabilitation of the lung and the impact of follow-up adjuvant therapy, which affects the completeness of rehabilitation. This paper classifies the typical postoperative symptoms and manifestations of lung cancer into five groups: Lung system, emotion, digestive tract, pain, and nerve. On this basis, this paper summarizes the three core pathogeneses of postoperative complications of lung cancer as failure of Qi to ascend and descend leading to insecurity of defensive exterior, vessel block leading to Qi stagnation and fluid retention, and lung Qi deficiency leading to spleen and kidney deficiency. Accordingly, this paper proposes the treatment principle of protecting healthy Qi and treating Qi with the core of descending-tonifying-ascending-dispersing Qi and puts forward three treatment methods. The first is replenishing Qi and consolidating exterior, and expelling phlegm and regulating lung. The second is replenishing Qi and promoting blood flow to resolve stasis and relieving pain. The third is replenishing Qi and tonifying lung, and invigorating spleen and tonifying kidney. Furthermore, this paper elaborates on the pathogenesis and treatment principles of four common postoperative complications: Lung infection, pleural effusion, atelectasis, and bronchopleural fistula. On the basis of Western medical treatment, the TCM treatment characteristics of treating symptoms in the acute phase and eradicating the root cause in the chronic phase should be played. While dispelling the pathogen, measures should be taken to protect the healthy Qi, including tonifying lung Qi, regulating spleen Qi, and replenishing kidney Qi. This study summarizes the pathogenesis and treatment strategy of common postoperative complications of lung cancer according to the principle of protecting healthy Qi and treating Qi, aiming to provide guidance for the future treatment of postoperative complications of lung cancer.

Objective:To conduct a scope review of relevant studies on the application of virtual reality (VR) technology in breast cancer patients, identifying the basic content of interventions, outcome indicators, and application effects, with the aim of providing a reference for clinical healthcare professionals applying this technology.Methods:Based on the research methodology for scope reviews, a computer search was conducted in Chinese and English databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase, with the search period extending to August 31, 2023. A categorical analysis of the included literature was conducted.Results:A total of 15 articles were included, primarily discussing the effects of VR technology on breast cancer patients' physical health, psychological well-being, cognitive function, and quality of life. Intervention frequencies were mainly once or twice daily, or twice weekly, with intervention durations ranging from 10 to 90 minutes and intervention periods from 2 to 12 weeks. VR interventions were found to improve physical function, psychological health, and cognitive function to some extent, increase patient rehabilitation adherence and satisfaction, and improve quality of life.Conclusions:VR technology can be an effective tool to support the treatment of breast cancer patients. However, the design of intervention protocols needs improvement. Future large-sample, multi-center, long-term follow-up randomized controlled trials are needed to verify the application effects of VR technology for breast cancer patients and promote its clinical application.

Objective:To establishing a clinical prediction model can assist clinicians in identifying at-risk patients early and intervening promptly to decrease AUR incidence.Methods:A retrospective collection of 313 elderly patients with hip fracture treated between 1st July and 31st August 2023 at the Emergency Department of our hospital. Patients were categorised into two groups: The AUR group (45 patients) and the non-AUR group (268 patients) based on the presence or absence of AUR. Basic characteristics, laboratory indicators and bladder volume were compared between the two groups. Factors independently associated with the incidence of AUR were analysed using Logistic regression. Analysis of the independent risk factors impacting the occurrence of AUR, development of a clinical prediction model for the risk of AUR in elderly patients with hip fractures, and internal validation of the model.Results:Comorbid psycho-behavioural symptoms of dementia ( OR=3.334, 95% CI 1.258-8.839, P=0.015), use of hypnotic sedatives ( OR=6.758, 95% CI 2.184-20.912, P=0. 001), increased heart rate ( OR=1.041, 95% CI 1.013-1.070, P=0.004), and increased bladder volume ( OR=1.005, 95% CI 1.004-1.007, P<0.01) were all identified as risk factors. The study identified independent risk factors for AUR in elderly patients who suffered a hip fracture. Based on these factors, the research team developed a prediction model which underwent internal validation using the Bootstrap method. The analysis indicated that the model’s prediction curves aligned closely with the standard model curves. The average absolute error was 0.021. The study's ROC results showed an AUC of 0.083 and a 95% CI of 0.767-0.909. Conclusions:Comorbid psycho-behavioural symptoms of dementia, the use of hypnotic sedative drugs, an increased heart rate, and an increased bladder volume are independent risk factors for the occurrence of AUR in elderly patients who have suffered a hip fracture. The creation of a chart prediction model using columns allows for a visual evaluation of the likelihood of AUR in elderly patients with hip fractures. This model provides important reference material for emergency physicians.

Objective:To investigate the pathway of self-disclosure to posttraumatic growth in patients after cervical cancer surgery, and to provide reference for improving the level of posttraumatic growth in patients.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used to investigate 300 patients with cervical cancer after surgery in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from June to November 2022 by using general data questionnaire, Distress Disclosure Index (DDI), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Shortened Chinese Version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale (FRAS-C) and the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) in a cross-section study.Results:A total of 290 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.7%. The patients were aged 23-70(48.13 ± 10.39) years. The scores of self-disclosure, resilience, family resilience and posttraumatic growth were (46.41 ± 9.82), (67.06 ± 14.63), (108.18 ± 11.06) and (58.24 ± 17.86) respectively. The results of pathway analysis showed that self-disclosure could not only directly predict posttraumatic growth, but also indirectly predict posttraumatic growth through the mediating role of resilience and family resilience, and the chain mediating role of resilience and family resilience, respectively. The direct effect of self-disclosure on posttraumatic growth was 0.236(95% CI 0.138-0.335), and the chain mediating effect of family resilience and resilience between self-disclosure and posttraumatic growth was 0.036(95% CI 0.018-0.060). Conclusions:Medical staff should not only consider the direct influence of self-disclosure on posttraumatic growth, but also pay attention to improve the resilience and family flexibility of patients after cervical cancer surgery, so as to promote their posttraumatic growth.

Objective:To investigate the application value of nectin-4 targeting radiotracer 68Ga-N188 in the diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Methods:The prospective study was conducted. The clinicopathologic data of 16 patients diagnosed as pancreatic cancer on enhanced computed tomography (CT) who were admitted to the Peking University First Hospital from August to December 2022 were collected. There were 9 males and 7 females, aged (62±8)years. All patients underwent 18F-flurodeoxyglucose ( 18F-FDG) and 68Ga-N188 positron emission tomography (PET)/CT examination. Observation indicators: (1) distribution of 68Ga-N188 in different tissues and tumor primary lesion of patients; (2) expression of Nectin-4 and uptake of 68Ga-N188 in pancreatic cancer; (3) comparison of examination results between 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages. Results:(1) Distribution of 68Ga-N188 in different tissues and tumor primary lesion of patients. Results of PET/CT examination showed that in 1 hour after injection, the maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and mean standard uptake value (SUVmean) of 68Ga-N188 in fat, muscle, skin, and brain tissues of 16 patients were 0.40±0.16 and 0.25±0.09, 0.68±0.20 and 0.44±0.12, 0.39±0.14 and 0.28±0.11, 0.09±0.04 and 0.05±0.02, respectively. In the tissues of the esophagus, liver, spleen, and pancreas, the above indicators were 1.53±0.48 and 1.16±0.31, 1.49±0.45 and 0.91±0.30, 1.40±0.30 and 1.02±0.24, 1.24±0.31 and 0.96±0.25, respectively. In tumor primary lesion, the above indicators were 3.28±1.02 and 2.14±0.62, respectively, showing significant differences in SUVmax and SUVmean compared with pancreatic tissue ( t=8.03, 6.75, P<0.05). The tumor background ratio in tumor primary lesion based on SUVmax was 1.82±0.58. (2) Expression of Nectin-4 and uptake of 68Ga-N188 in pancreatic cancer. Results of immunohistochemical staining in 16 patients showed that there were 7 patients with high Nectin-4 expression and 9 patients with low Nectin-4 expression. Results of PET/CT examination showed that the SUVmax of 68Ga-N188 in tumor primary lesion of the 7 patients with high Nectin-4 expression and 9 patients with low Nectin-4 expression were 3.77±1.10 and 2.64±0.68, showing a significant difference between them ( t=2.64, P<0.05). The SUVmax of 18F-FDG in tumor primary lesion of the 7 patients with high Nectin-4 expression and 9 patients with low Nectin-4 expression were 6.73±3.24 and 6.43±3.45, showing no significant difference between them ( t=0.17, P>0.05). (3) Comparison of examination results between 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT. Of the 16 patients, cases with positive results of tumor primary lesion on 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT were 14 and 11, respectively, for the 14 pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed by postoperative histopathology. Among them, cases with positive results of tumor primary lesion on 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT were 3 and 1 for the 3 pancreatic cancer patients receiving evaluation for chemotherapy. The SUVmax of 18F-FDG in tumor primary lesion of the 3 patients with chemotherapy and the 11 patients without chemotherapy were 2.80±0.69 and 6.97±2.11, showing a significant difference between them ( t=3.29, P<0.05). The SUVmax of 68Ga-N188 in tumor primary lesion of the 3 patients with chemotherapy and the 11 patients without chemotherapy were 3.38±1.12 and 2.93±0.50, showing no significant difference between them ( t=0.66, P>0.05). Cases with positive results of lymph node metastases in 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG PET/CT were 6 and 4, respectively, for the 6 pancreatic cancer patients diagnosed with lymph node metastases by postoperative histopathology, and the SUVmax of 68Ga-N188 and 18F-FDG in lymph node metastases were 2.25±1.12 and 4.02±1.27. Conclusion:68Ga-N188 PET/CT can be used for imaging diagnosis of tumor primary lesion and lymph node metastases of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To analyze the predictive value of serological measures within 24 hours of admission in acute pancreatitis patients against patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP), because the severity of acute pancreatitis was characterized by a timely assessment and prediction by emergency department physicians upon visit.Methods:A total of 119 acute pancreatitis patients admitted in Emergency Department in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2022 to December 2022 were retrospectively collected. According to the revised Atlanta classification, patients were characterized by mild acute pancreatitis group (77 cases), moderately severe acute pancreatitis group (27 cases), and SAP group (15 cases). Basic characteristics, early disease severity scores and early serological indexes of the three groups were compared, independent risk factors of serological indexes affecting the occurrence of SAP were analyzed, and receiver operator characteristic curve was drawn, evaluate the predictive value of related serological indexes for SAP.Results:There were no significant differences in the basic characteristics of the three groups including of gender, age, BMI, type of pancreatitis and complications ( P>0.05), but there were significant differences in early BISPA, Ranson, APACHEⅡ and Panc3 scores among the three groups ( P<0.05).Albumin-bilirubin score ( OR=3.653, 95% CI 1.665-8.012, P=0.001), blood urea nitrogen ( OR=1.117, 95% CI 1.039-1.202, P=0.003) were independent risk factors for SAP. The areas under ROC curve predicted by albumin-bilirubin score, blood urea nitrogen and albumin-bilirubin score combined with blood urea nitrogen were 0.762, 0.776 and 0.857, respectively, which showed no statistical difference compared with earlier Ranson, BISAP and APACHE Ⅱ scoring systems, respectively ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Early albumin-bilirubin score and blood urea nitrogen indexes of acute pancreatitis patients have good predictive value for SAP. Albumin-bilirubin score combined with blood urea nitrogen can improve the predictive value of SAP, and the predictive effect is as good as early Ranson, BISAP and APACHEⅡ scoring systems.
