Objective:To investigate the efficacy of cytoreductive radical prostatectomy (CRP) in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer, and to assess its impact on progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), as well as the incidence and severity of complications.Methods:A prospective, monocentric non-randomized controlled trial including 80 cases of oligometastatic prostate cancer admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2020 to June 2024 was conducted. There were 40 patients each assigned to CRP group and no local treatment (NLT) group. The study used multivariate analysis to account for potential biases, analyzed the effects of CRP on PFS, OS as well as circulating tumor cell (CTC) and DNA methylation status. Meanwhile, the incidence and severity of complications were recorded. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for inter-group comparison. Count data and rank data were expressed as number of cases and percentage, and Chi-test was used for comparison between groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate PFS and OS, and Log-rank test was used to compare differences between groups. Multivariate analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazard regression model. A time-dependent Cox regression model was used to consider the effect of follow-up time on the results. Results:The PFS and OS in the CRP group were significantly better than those in the NLT group. The PFS rates in CRP group and NLT group at 12 months were 60% and 35% ( P=0.030). The OS rates at 12 months in the CRP group reached 80%, compared to 50% in the NLT group ( P=0.040). The level of CTC in the CRP group decreased from 50 cells/mL at first month to 5 cells/mL at 12th month, and the DNA methylation status decreased from 0.75 at first month to 0.30 at 12th month, which were significantly better than those in the NLT group ( P<0.05). The incidence of complications decreased gradually from first month to 12th month, with the CRP group from 30% to 10%, and the NLT group from 25% to 12% ( P=0.080). Although the severity of complications was slightly higher in the CRP group than in the NLT group at the early stage, the difference in severity gradually narrowed and eventually became similar between the two groups by the 12th month of follow-up. Conclusion:CRP significantly prolonged PFS and OS in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer, reduced tumor burden, and despite a higher incidence of early complications, overall safety was good.

Objective:To understand the information needs of patients with pituitary adenoma in different stages of diagnosis, surgery, and out-of-hospital rehabilitation, and to provide a basis for the subsequent construction of information support strategies.Methods:The qualitative research method was described. Fourteen patients who underwent primary pituitary adenoma resection in a Department of Neurosurgery in Suzhou from July 2017 to July 2018 were selected as research subjects. The confusion and information needs that occurred during the stage, and the analysis of interview data was analyzed using the content analysis strategy.Results:Five themes were extracted, "what did I get?""What should I do if I feel so uncomfortable?""Are my symptoms normal?""Should I have recovered after so long?" How to do it".Conclusions:During the diagnosis and treatment of patients with pituitary adenoma, medical staff should provide detailed and personalized information support based on general guidance and information needs that patients face at various stages.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of Chronic Care Model in hypertension management in community health services.Methods Three hundred patients diagnosed with hypertension participated in this study and were divided into intervention and control groups.In the following 9 months,intervention measures based on the Chronic Care Model were delivered to intervention group,while the conventional measures to control group.Data collected before and after the intervention were analyzed uuing descriptive statistics,t-test,x2-test and analysis of covariance by SPSS16.0 for Windows.Results The intervention group had statistically significant positive effectiveness in drinking habit,daily salt intake(decreased 0.78g),diastolic blood pressure (decreased 2mmHg),BMI(decreased 0.4) and SF-36 physical component summary score(decreased 1.7)(P＜0.05).The intervention group had better improvement in BMI and SF-36 physical component summry score than the control group.Conclusion The health outcomes of patients with hypertension could be improved by applying the Chronic Care Model featured diet,exercise habits and other health related factors management.
