Objective To systematically evaluate the rumination in stroke patients and identify the influencing factors.Methods A mixed-methods systematic review was carried out by searching databases,such as CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Web of Science,the Cochrane Library,Embase and Scopus databases,from the inception to 27th October,2023,for literature on the influencing factors of rumination in stroke patients.The researchers evaluated quality of the literature according to the mixed methods appraisal tool developed by McGill University of Canada.Then the data were collected,analysed and integrated using the convergent integration method proposed by the JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Research Centre of Australia.Results A total of 22 studies were included with an involvement of 4 949 patients.Then a total of 45 research topics were extracted and grouped into 8 categories.The influence factors of rumination were integrated,including individual factors,external support and coping strategies.Conclusions Stroke patients have different levels of rumination.Individual factors may affect rumination in patients.Harmonious interpersonal relationships and positive thinking with coping strategies can promote deliberate rumination.However,the effects of age,place of residence and household income on rumination in stroke patients are required to be further explored.

Objective:To compare the difference of chemical compositions of single decoction and mixed decoction of Gypsum Fibrosum - Anemarrhenae Rhizoma medicinal pair with different proportion.Methods:The Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) and Ion Chromatography (IC) fingerprints of each sample were collected, and the independent sample t-test on the ratio of "peak area/weight" value of common peaks which was from the single decoction and mixed decoction samples was performed through SPSS 26.0.Results:In the UPLC fingerprint, there was significant difference in the "peak area/weight" values of peak 1, peak 2, peak 3, peak 6 and peak 13 between mixed decoction and single decoction with different compatibility ratios (1:1, 3:2, 2:1, 5:2, 3:1)( P<0.05), while peak 5 and peak 11 were without significant difference ( P>0.05). When the compatibility ratio of Gypsum Fibrosum and Anemarrhenae Rhizoma was 1:1, 3:2, 5:2, 3:1, there was significant difference in the "peak area/weight" values of peak 7 (neomangiferin) ( P<0.05). In the IC fingerprint, there was significant difference in the "peak area/weight" values of peak 1 between mixed decoction and single decoction with different compatibility ratios (1:1, 3:2, 2:1, 5:2, 3:1) ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in peak 5 (calcium ion) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:There are differences in the chemical component content of Gypsum Fibrosum-Anemarrhenae Rhizoma medicinal pair for single decoction and mixed decoction.

Objective:To analyze the case fatality rate of HIV/AIDS cases and influencing factors in Jingzhou.Methods:The data were retrieved from HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Response Information System and the cases diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in Jingzhou during 1996-2021 and aged 15 years or older were selected for the study. The death curve was drawn with Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional-hazards model was used to identify influencing factors for death.Results:A total of 3 304 HIV/AIDS cases were followed up for 16 091.5 person-years, and 893 cases died, with a case fatality rate of 5.5/100 person-years. The cumulative case fatality rates of 1, 5 and 10 years were 15.4%, 25.0% and 34.6% respectively, the cumulative case fatality rates of 1, 5 and 10 years were 6.9%, 14.4% and 23.7% in the cases with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 68.0%, 90.1% and 98.7% in the cases without access to ART. The results of Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the risk for death was higher in those without access to ART than in those with access to ART (a HR=9.85, 95% CI: 8.19-11.85). The risk factors for death in those with access to ART included being men (a HR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.29-2.08), age ≥60 years old at diagnosis (a HR=3.52, 95% CI: 2.38-5.20), being infected by injecting drug use/others (a HR=2.38, 95% CI:1.30-4.34), being detected by medical institution (a HR=1.53, 95% CI: 1.11-2.11), CD4 +T lymphocytes(CD4) counts <50 cells/μl (a HR=2.58, 95% CI: 1.87-3.58). The protective factor for death was high education level (high school and technical secondary school: a HR=0.64,95% CI:0.46-0.90; college and above: a HR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.24-0.73). The risk factors for HIV/AIDS death in those without access to ART included older age at diagnosis (30-44 years old: a HR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.40-3.84; 45-59 years old:a HR=2.61, 95% CI: 1.59-4.27; ≥60 years old: a HR=3.31, 95% CI: 2.01-5.47), lower CD4 counts (<50 cells/μl: a HR=10.47, 95% CI: 6.47-16.56; 50-199 cells/μl: a HR=2.31, 95% CI: 1.08-4.94; 200-349 cells/μl: a HR=2.35, 95% CI: 1.46-3.79). Conclusions:The case fatality rate of HIV/AIDS was relatively high in Jingzhou from 1996 to 2021, the first CD4 counts, ART and age at diagnosis were the major factors affecting HIV/AIDS death, "Expanding testing" and "prompt treatment upon diagnosis" should be continued and enhanced to improve the efficacy of ART and HIV/AIDS case survival.

Objective:To analyze the ultrasound characteristics of small bowel volvulus among adults and to investigate the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of small bowel volvulus.Methods:Totally 34 adults with small bowel volvulus confirmed by clinical diagnosis or surgery and who underwent ultrasound examination at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from August 2017 to October 2022 were enrolled, including 19 males and 15 females, aged (55.0±21.8) years (range: 19 to 94 years). The clinical characteristics, CT images and ultrasound images of the patients were retrospectively reviewed, and the ultra, sound features of small bowel volvulus and its diagnostic efficacy were analyzed.Results:Abdominal pain was the typical clinical symptom of all patients. Other symptoms included 21 cases of abdominal distension, 19 cases of nausea and vomiting, and 13 cases of cessation of passage of stool or flatus. Eight patients had signs of peritonitis and 22 patients had abnormal bowel sounds. Twenty patients had a history of abdominal surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of carbon nanoparticles mapping lymph nodes in curative resection for colorectal carcinoma.Methods:Patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer before operation and undergoing radical surgery with intact postoperative pathological data in the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from March 2016 to March 2018 were included in this retrospective case-control study. Those who were diagnosed with ileus, recurrent carcinoma or underwent emergency operation were excluded. A total of 1421 cases were included, with 156 cases in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group and 1265 cases in the control group. Using 1∶3 case control matching based on gender, weight, TNM staging and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 145 and 435 cases were finally recruited in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group and control group, respectively. Patients in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group underwent preoperative colonoscopy with carbon nanoparticles submucosal injection 2.4 (1.0 - 14.0) days before operation. Carbon nanoparticles of 0.25 ml was injected at 4 points (3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock each) 0.5-1.0 cm around the tumor. The number of eliminated lymph node, number of positive lymph node and positive rate between the two groups were compared, and the number of eliminated lymph node in different subgroups of T stage, N stage, TNM stage and neoadjuvant chemotherapy was analyzed and compared.Results:After case control matching, total number of eliminated lymph nodes in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group was significantly higher than that in the control group (22.2±11.2 vs. 19.0±9.5, t=3.025, P=0.003). However, no statistically significant differences were found in the number of positive lymph node and lymph node positive rate between two groups (all P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that as compared to the control group, total number of eliminated lymph nodes in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group was significantly higher in T3 stage subgroup (median: 22 vs. 18, Z=2.435, P=0.015), N0 stage subgroup (median: 20.5 vs. 17.5, Z=2.772, P=0.006), TNM II stage subgroup (median: 23.5 vs. 19.0, Z=2.654, P=0.008) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (median: 22.5 vs. 13.0, Z=3.287, P=0.001), while compared to the control group, the number of positive lymph node (median: 4.0 vs. 6.5, Z=-2.530, P=0.011) and the lymph node metastasis degree (median: 16% vs. 31%, Z=-2.862, P=0.004) were lower in the carbon nanoparticles mapping group in N2 subgroup. Conclusion:Carbon nanoparticles mapping lymph nodes can effectively enhance the number of eliminated lymph nodes in curative resection for colorectal cancer.

Objective: To analyze the trends on constituent ratio of non-ST-segment-elevation (NSTEMI) and ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and related in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients hospitalized in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from 2004 to 2014. Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective study. We reviewed all patients hospitalized for AMI in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 1 2004 to December 31 2014, and collected all related information including hospitalization stay, the type of AMI, revascularization and in-hospital mortality. We analyzed the trends of constituent ratio of NSTEMI and STEMI, and their in-hospital mortalities during the 11 years. Results: Data from a total of 23 864 patients with AMI, including 5 539 STEMI and 18 325 NSTEMI, were analyzed. Compared with STEMI patients, NSTEMI patients were older, less likely to be male (P<0.001), had higher prevalence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes (P<0.001), and lower prevalence of smoking (P<0.001). Additionally, patients with NSTEMI were more likely to have prior history of MI (12.6% (695/5 539) vs. 7.4% (1 354/18 325), P<0.001) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (2.7% (152/5 539) vs. 0.7% (124/18 325), P<0.001). The constituent ratio of NSTEMI was significantly increased during the observation period, rising from 15.8% (107/802) in 2004 to 35.7% (1 273/3 583) in 2014 (P value for trend <0.001). The in-hospital mortality of NSTEMI patients was significantly lower compared with those with STEMI (1.84% (102 cases) vs. 2.74% (502 cases), P<0.001). The mortality of both STEMI and NSTEMI were significantly decreased during the 11 years (both P value for χ² trend test <0.001). After adjusting for other risk factors, NSTEMI was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality (OR=0.50, 95%CI 0.40-0.63, P<0.001). Conclusions In patients with AMI, the constituent ratio of NSTEMI versus STEMI is increased during the 11 years. The in-hospital mortality is decreased for both STEMI and NSTEMI patients in the past 11 years, and the in-hospital mortality rate of NSTEMI patients is lower than STEMI patients in this patient cohort during the observation period.

Objective: To evaluate the implementation effect of the Beijing Tobacco Control Regulation. Methods: An observational study was conducted in a multi-stage randomly selected sample of 93 restaurants in Dongcheng and Chaoyang districts, Beijing. Undercover visits to the restaurants were paid by investigators at lunch or dinner time. The incidence of smoking behavior and the posters of no-smoking signs were observed, waiters were interviewed about awareness of the regulation, and comparisons with the baseline data of 6 months before and 1 month after regulation implementation were made. Results: The pasting rate of no-smoking signs was 76.3%. The awareness of the regulation in the waiters surveyed was high. The incidence rate of smoking in restaurants (29.0%) was lower than that before the regulation implementation (36.7%), but it was significantly higher than that one month after regulation implementation (14.8%). No active interventions from the restaurant staff were observed when smoking occurred. The incidence of smoking in restaurants within commercial buildings (3.3%) was significantly lower than that in non-commercial buildings (41.3%), the difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The effect of the regulation weakened 3 years after implementation compared with that in 1 month after the implementation. The enforcement degree of the regulation was conflicted with pasting rate of no-smoking signs and the regulation awareness level in waiters in restaurants in Dongcheng and Chaoyang districts.
