Objective To compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation versus thyroidectomy in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules (BTN) and to explore the influencing factors of prognosis. Methods A total of 282 BTN patients were enrolled and divided into ablation group (treated with ultrasound-guided microwave ablation, n=172) and resection group (treated with thyroidectomy, n=110) based on treatment methods. Perioperative indicators and thyroid function indices before and after surgery were compared between the two groups. Patients were followed up for 1 year and divided into good prognosis group [volume reduction rate (VRR)≥80%, n=210] and a poor prognosis group (VRR < 80%, n=72) based on the VRR. Factors influencing the prognosis of BTN patients were analyzed. Results The ablation group had shorter operative time and hospital stay, less intraoperative blood loss, and lower postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores compared to the resection group (P < 0.05). One month after surgery, serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels were higher, while free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels were lower than preoperative levels in both groups, however, TSH level was lower, and FT3 and FT4 levels were higher in the ablation group compared to the resection group (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis showed that preoperative TSH levels, the proportion of solid nodules, and the proportion of nodules in the risk zone were lower, while preoperative FT4 levels were higher in the good prognosis group compared to the poor prognosis group (P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that nodule type, nodule location, preoperative TSH, and preoperative FT4 were all influencing factors for the prognosis of BTN patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion Compared to thyroidectomy, ultrasound-guided microwave ablation for BTN offers advantages such as less intraoperative blood loss, milder postoperative pain, shorter operative time and hospital stay, and less damage to thyroid function. Preoperative TSH and FT4 levels, nodule type, and nodule location are closely related to the prognosis of BTN patients and should be given attention in clinical practice.

Objective:To identify the independent factors of unplanned interruption during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and construct a risk prediction model, and to verify the clinical application effectiveness of the model.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on critically ill adult patients who received CRRT treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Zhejiang Hospital from January 2021 to August 2022 for model construction. According to whether unplanned weaning occurred, the patients were divided into two groups. The potential influencing factors of unplanned CRRT weaning in the two groups were compared. The independent influencing factors of unplanned CRRT weaning were screened by binary Logistic regression and a risk prediction model was constructed. The goodness of fit of the model was verified by a Hosmer-Lemeshow test and its predictive validity was evaluated by receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve). Then embed the risk prediction model into the hospital's ICU multifunctional electronic medical record system for severe illness, critically ill patients with CRRT admitted to the ICU of Zhejiang Hospital from November 2022 to October 2023 were prospectively analyzed to verify the model's clinical application effect.Results:① Model construction and internal validation: a total of 331 critically ill patients with CRRT were included to be retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 238 patients in planned interruption group and 93 patients in unplanned interruption group. Compared with the planned interruption group, the unplanned interruption group was shown as a lower proportion of males (80.6% vs. 91.6%) and a higher proportion of chronic diseases (60.2% vs. 41.6%), poor blood purification catheter function (31.2% vs. 6.3%), as a higher platelet count (PLT) before CRRT initiation [×10 9/L: 137 (101, 187) vs. 109 (74, 160)], lower level of blood flow rate [mL/min: 120 (120, 150) vs. 150 (140, 180)], higher proportion of using pre-dilution (37.6% vs. 23.5%), higher filtration fraction [23.0% (17.5%, 32.9%) vs. 19.1% (15.7%, 22.6%)], and frequency of blood pump stops [times: 19 (14, 21) vs. 9 (6, 13)], the differences of the above 8 factors between the two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that chronic diseases [odds ratio ( OR) = 3.063, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.200-7.819], blood purification catheter function ( OR = 4.429, 95% CI was 1.270-15.451), blood flow rate ( OR = 0.928, 95% CI was 0.900-0.957), and frequency of blood pump stops ( OR = 1.339, 95% CI was 1.231-1.457) were the independent factors for the unplanned interruption of CRRT (all P < 0.05). These 4 factors were used to construct a risk prediction model, and ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) predicted by the model was 0.952 (95% CI was 0.930-0.973, P = 0.003 0), with a sensitivity of 88.2%, a specificity of 89.9%, and a maximum value of 1.781 for the Youden index. ② External validation: prospective inclusion of 110 patients, including 63 planned interruption group and 47 unplanned interruption group. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the risk prediction model was 0.919 (95% CI was 0.870-0.969, P = 0.004 3), with a sensitivity of 91.5%, a specificity of 79.4%, and a maximum value of the Youden index of 1.709. Conclusion:The risk prediction model for unplanned interruption during CRRT has a high predictive efficiency, allowing for rapid and real-time identification of the high risk patients, thus providing references for preventative nursing.

Objective:To investigate the value of implantable cardiac monitor (ICM) in the diagnosis and treatment of patients over 60 years old with unexplained syncope.Methods:This was a multi-center, prospective cohort study. Between June 2018 and April 2021, patients over the age of 60 with unexplained syncope at Beijing Hospital, Fuwai Hospital, Beijing Anzhen Hospital and Puren Hospital were enrolled. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their decision to receive ICM implantation (implantation group and conventional follow-up group). The endpoint was the recurrence of syncope and cardiogenic syncope as determined by positive cardiac arrhythmia events recorded at the ICM or diagnosed during routine follow-up. Kaplan‐Meier survival analysis was used to compare the differences of cumulative diagnostic rate between the 2 groups. A multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine independent predictors of diagnosis of cardiogenic syncope in patients with unexplained syncope.Results:A total of 198 patients with unexplained syncope, aged (72.9±8.25) years, were followed for 558.0 (296.0,877.0) d, including 98 males (49.5%). There were 100 (50.5%) patients in the implantation group and 98 (49.5%) in the conventional follow-up group. Compared with conventional follow-up group, patients in the implantation group were older, more likely to have comorbidities, had a higher proportion of first degree atrioventricular block indicated by baseline electrocardiogram, and had a lower body mass index (all P<0.05). During the follow-up period, positive cardiac arrhythmia events were recorded in 58 (58.0%) patients in the ICM group. The diagnosis rate (42.0% (42/100) vs. 4.1% (4/98), P<0.001) and the intervention rate (37.0% (37/100) vs. 2.0% (2/98), P<0.001) of cardiogenic syncope in the implantation group were higher than those in the conventional follow-up group (all P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative diagnostic rate of cardiogenic syncope was significantly higher in the implantation group than in the traditional follow-up group ( HR=11.66, 95% CI 6.49-20.98, log-rank P<0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that ICM implantation, previous atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus or first degree atrioventricular block in baseline electrocardiogram were independent predictors for cardiogenic syncope (all P<0.05). Conclusions:ICM implantation improves the diagnosis and intervention rates in patients with unexplained syncope, and increases diagnostic efficiency in patients with unexplained syncope.

Background Steel workers are exposed to occupational hazardous factors such as dust, noise, and heat, and often work in shifts, making them prone to sleep disorders. Objective To explore potential influencing factors of sleep disorders among workers in a steel enterprise in Gansu Province, and provide a basis for reducing the risk of sleep disorders among them. Methods From January to March 2022, a self-made questionnaire combined with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to investigate the employees of a steel enterprise in Gansu Province. According to their PSQI scores, they were divided into a normal sleep group and a sleep disorder group. The general demographic variables of the two groups were balanced by 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM). Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the contributing factors of sleep disorders. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was used to analyze potential dose-response relationship between weekly working hours and sleep disorders. Results The prevalence of sleep disorders in the steel workers was 48.06% (6029/12544). After PSM, 5847 pairs were successfully matched, and the distributions of matched variables were well balanced between the two groups. The results of multiple logistic regression showed that hypertension (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.24, 1.56), diabetes mellitus (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.66), three-shift system (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.12, 1.41), dust exposure (OR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.29), noise exposure (OR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.09, 1.39), heat exposure (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.04, 1.29), and work injury (OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.46) increased the risk of sleep disorders. Compared with workers with < 10 years of service, those with 10-20 years (OR=1.31, 95%CI: 1.19, 1.44), 20-30 years (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.19, 1.52), and ≥30 years of service (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.19, 1.53) had a higher risk of sleep disorders. Compared with non-exercise workers, the risk of developing sleep disorders was lower in workers with occasional exercise (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.56, 0.66) and regular exercise (OR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.49, 0.62). The RCS model showed that the weekly working hours and sleep disorders in the steel workers showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship (P<0.05 for overall trend, P<0.05 for nonlinear test). The relationship between weekly working hours and sleep disorders showed a "U" shaped distribution, with a significant increase in the risk of sleep disorders when the weekly working hours exceeded 49 h. Conclusion The non-occupational influencing factors of sleep disorders of employees in the steel enterprise include hypertension, diabetes, physical exercise, and occupational influencing factors include length of service, weekly working hours, shifts, dust exposure, noise exposure, heat exposure, and work injuries. It is recommended to consider both occupational and non-occupational factors to formulate appropriate sleep disorder prevention and control measures for steel employees to reduce the risk of sleep disorders.

Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in production is frequently exposed to inadequate light, which significantly affects its agronomic traits via inhibiting their physiological, metabolic and developmental processes. To explore the mechanism how the grape plants respond to the weak light stress, we used 'Yinhong' grape and examined their physiology-biochemistry characteristics and transcriptional profile under different levels of weak light stress. The results showed that grape seedlings upon low intensity shading treatments were not significantly affected. As the shading stress intensity was strengthened, the epidermis cells, palisade tissue, and spongy tissue in the leaves were thinner, the intercellular space between the palisade tissue and spongy tissue was larger compared with that of the control, and the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase were decreased gradually. Additionally, the soluble protein content increased and the free proline content decreased gradually. Compared with the control, significant changes in plant photosynthetic characteristics and physiology-biochemistry characteristics were observed under high intensity of shading (80%). RNA-seq data showed that the differentially expressed genes between CK and T2, CK and T4, T2 and T4 were 13 913, 13 293 and 14 943, respectively. Most of the enrichment pathways were closely related with the plant's response to stress. Several signaling pathways in response to stress-resistance, e.g. JA/MYC2 pathway and MAPK signal pathway, were activated under weak light stress. The expression level of a variety of genes related to antioxidation (such as polyphenol oxidase and thioredoxin), photosynthesis (such as phytochrome) was altered under weak light stress, indicating that 'Yinhong' grape may activate the antioxidation related pathways to cope with reactive oxygen species (ROS). In addition, it may activate the expression of photosynthetic pigment and light reaction structural protein to maintain the photosynthesis activity. This research may help better understand the relevant physiological response mechanism and facilitate cultivation of grape seedlings under weak light.

Objective: To evaluate the cognitive impairment in elderly patients with minor ischemic stroke and to analyze risk factors for stroke recurrence. Methods: This was a retrospective case-control study.Ninety-five elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized in the neurology department of Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng were enrolled from January 2016 to January 2017.Based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS), all cases were divided into the minor stroke group(NIHSS score≤3, n=62)and the medium-severe stroke group(NIHSS score>3, n=33). After 12-month follow-up, the NIHSS, modified Rankin scale(mRS)and Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)were used to evaluate the study subjects. Results: Of the 95 patients, there were 62 males(65.3%)and 33 females(34.7%), with age of(68.3±6.7)years.No significant differences were found in baseline characteristics of age, male ratio, subtypes and history between two groups(all P>0.05). But, the treatment rate of intravenous thrombolysis was lower in minor stroke group than in medium-severe stroke group[6.5%(4 cases)vs.42.4%(14 cases)(P<0.01)]. The scores of NIHSS[(1.0±0.5)vs.(3.2±1.1), P<0.01], mRS[(1.6±0.7)vs.(2.4±1.1), P<0.01]were lower in the minor stroke group than in the medium-severe group.After a mean follow-up of(12.6±1.9)months, the rate of cognitive impairment was comparable between the two groups(P>0.05), while the rate of post stroke depression had a significant difference between two groups(P<0.05). Furthermore, there was lower rate of mortality and stroke recurrence in the minor stroke group than in the medium-severe group(0.0% or 0/62 vs.30.3% or 10/33, and 21.0% or 13/62 vs.42.4% or 14/33, P<0.05). Cox proportional hazard model showed that baseline NIHSS score, diabetes and stroke history were the risk factors for stroke recurrence in patients with minor stroke(P<0.05). Conclusions The treatment rate of intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA, mortality rate and stroke recurrence rate are lower in patients with minor stroke than in patients with medium-severe stroke, while the incidence of post stroke cognitive impairment is high.High score of baseline NIHSS, diabetes and stroke history are risk factors for stroke recurrence in elderly patients with minor stroke.

Objective To evaluate Parecoxi on postoperative analgesia for the elderly patients undering colorectomy.Methods 82 patients were randomly divided into group of 44 patients undergoing open surgery and 38 patients receiving laparoscopic colorectomy.22 patients in open surgery using Parecoxib sodium combined with PCA analgesic way were named as observation group,while the other 22 patients using placebo combined with PCA analgesic way named as control group.19 laparoscopic surgery patients using Parecoxib sodium analgesia were named as observation group,while the other 19 patients using Tramadol analgesia named as control group.Results In the absence of any differences of VAS pain score,in the open surgery group,the average dosage of Fentanyl in observation group was (0.45 ± 0.23) mg vs.(0.78 ± 0.16) mg in observation group (P ＜ 0.05).Parecoxib reduced the dosage of Fentanyl of PCA in the open surgery group.In laparoscopic group,at the time of postoperative 6,12,24,48,72 h,in the observation group patients resting pain scores were 5.01 ±0.36,4.44 ±0.37,4.02 ±0.46,3.35 ±0.52,2.54 ±0.23 respectively,while in the control group patients resting pain scores were 5.86 ± 0.45,5.03 ± 0.64,4.89 ± 0.75,3.94 ± 0.73,2.56 ± 0.41 respectively,(P ＜ 0.01).The postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery time was (3.1 ±0.7) d in observation group vs.(5.9 ±0.4) d in the control group (P ＜0.01).The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting,were lower in observation group,(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Parecoxib can be used for postoperative analgesia in elderly patients with colorectal cancer,reducing the dosage of opioids,and protecting the patient's immune function.
