Objective Based on the intervention map to develop a comprehensive nutrition education program for pancreaticoduodenectomy patients and to explore the effect of its clinical application,aiming at providing references for clinical nursing practice.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 76 patients who were to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy in the department of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery of a tertiary hospital in Anhui Province as the study subjects.The 38 patients admitted from October 2021 to September 2022 were in a control group,and the 38 patients admitted from October 2022 to July 2023 were in an experimental group.The experimental group received the comprehensive nutritional education programme constructed in this study,and the control group used conventional nutrition health education measures,and the length of intervention for both groups was from pre-hospitalization to discharge for 6 months.Nutrition-related indicators,postoperative complications,hospitalisation time,hospitalisation costs and satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups.Results A total of 64 patients completed this study,with 33 in the experimental group and 31 in the control group.Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that the interaction effects of BMI,total serum protein and serum preprotein were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The incidence of complications,hospitalization days and hospitalization costs of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The scores of nutrition education-related satisfaction in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.001).Conclusion A comprehensive nutritional education program based on intervention map can improve the nutritional status of pancreaticoduodenectomy patients to a certain extent,reduce the occurrence of complications,and promote patients'recovery.

Objective To explore the impact of gender factors in participant selection during bioequivalence studies,and to provide insights for improving the screening success rate in subsequent trials.Methods A retrospective study was con-ducted to summarize the screening information of healthy subjects in the bioequivalence study conducted in the Phase Ⅰ Clinical Trial Laboratory of the Affiliated Hospital of Xiangnan University from July 2021 to July 2023.The number of failed screening ca-ses in different stages of screening for each project was counted,and the influence of gender factors on subject screening was ana-lyzed.Results A total of 32 bioequivalence studies involving 2 794 subjects,including 1 816 males and 978 females,were in-cluded in the study.The proportion of males was higher in vital signs and BMI abnormalities,and the proportion of females was higher in ECG abnormalities and active withdrawal,and the pass rate was lower in males than in females(40.0％ vs.45.8％),and the existence of the two was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The results of PC A showed that the distribution of data in males was more dispersed,and the distribution of data in females was centralized,and the two could be clearly differentiated.Binary lo-gistic regression analysis showed significant differences between males and females in laboratory test screening failures and BMI(P＜0.05).Further analysis showed that the screening failure rates of blood biochemistry,urine routine,coagulation function and blood transfusion were higher in males than in females,but the screening failure rates of blood routine were lower than those of fe-males.Conclusions Gender is an important influencing factor in the screening process of bioequivalence studies.Including subjects with appropriate gender ratios can help improve enrollment speed and reduce clinical trial costs.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis B virus (HBV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and varicella zoster virus (VZV) vaccination in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to analyze the factors related to vaccination.Methods:Data were obtained from 1 203 patients with SLE, via a multi-center web-based survey using an online questionnaire. Data about their social conditions, clinical presentations, willingness for being vaccinated, vaccination within 5 years were collected. Demographic data were shown by descriptive analysis. Chi-square and logistic regression analysis were used to assess the power of related indexes as predictors of vaccination.Results:The vaccination rates of influenza, pneumococcal, HBV, HPV, and VZV were 5.49% (66/1 203), 0.66% (8/1 203), 2.08% (25/1 203), 3.82% (46/1 203), and 0.17% (2/1 203), respectively. Data analysis showed that higher education ( χ2=30.94, P<0.001) and higher income ( χ2=10.70, P=0.001) had greater effects on influenza vaccination. There was a relationship between HPV vaccination and higher education ( χ2=20.96, P<0.001), higher income ( χ2=20.56, P<0.001), younger age ( χ2=8.54, P=0.001), and single ( χ2=5.63, P=0.018). Male ( χ2=10.27, P=0.001) and higher education ( χ2=4.52, P=0.034) were associated with HBV vaccination. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that higher education [ OR (95% CI)=2.14 (1.10, 4.18), P=0.026], having children under 18 years-old [ OR(95% CI)=1.802(1.02, 3.18), P=0.042], and hydroxychloroquine usage [ OR(95% CI)=2.55(1.06, 6.15), P=0.037], had a positive correlation with influenza vaccination. Male [ OR(95% CI)=4.24(1.37, 13.08), P=0.012], had an impact on HBV vaccination. The factors related to HPV vaccination included age <45 [ OR (95% CI)=0.93(0.89, 0.97), P=0.001], higher education [ OR(95% CI)=2.28(1.11, 4.65), P=0.024], higher income [ OR(95% CI)=2.68(1.32, 3.41), P=0.006] and the usage of immunosuppressive agents [ OR(95% CI)=1.92(1.03, 3.59), P=0.041]. Conclusion:The prevalence of vaccination in patients with SLE is low. Patients with higher education and income are more likely to being vaccinated.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of vasa previa (VP) with low-lying placenta (LP).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on pregnant women with VP who delivered at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center from January 2015 to August 2021. According to the status of LP, these cases were classified into VP with LP (VP+LP) and VP without LP (VP-LP) group. The cases diagnosed with placenta previa (PP, n=128) during the same period were collected as control. Maternal-fetal clinical characteristics and outcomes were compared among the three groups using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test). Results:During the study period, 116 VP cases were diagnosed, accounting for 0.085% (116/136 450) of all deliveries. Apart from one case of intrauterine death caused by non-VP reasons in the third trimester, there were 64 in the VP+LP group and 51 in the VP-LP group. VP+LP cases accounted for about 2.9% (64/2 219) of all the cases with PP or LP. The proportions of multiparae and women with a history of cesarean section were significantly higher in the VP+LP group than in the VP-LP group [62.5% (40/64) vs 39.2% (20/51), χ 2= 6.17, P=0.013; 31.3% (20/64) vs 13.7% (7/51), χ 2= 4.85, P=0.028]. Besides, a rare type of VP (type Ⅲ) was only found in the VP+LP group (9.4%, 6/64). The median gestational age at first diagnosis by prenatal ultrasound was significantly larger in the VP+LP group than in the VP-LP group [28.3 (23.6-31.7) vs 23.9 (23.3-25.9) weeks, Z=2.61, P=0.007]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of antepartum hemorrhage between the two groups. In contrast, the amount of postpartum hemorrhage was significantly increased in the VP+LP group [550 (436-732) vs 420 (300-540) ml, Z=3.37, P=0.001]. Compared with the VP-LP group, the VP+LP group showed a lower incidence of lower neonatal Apgar score (<7 at 5 min) and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy [0.0%(0/64) vs 6.9%(4/58), 0.0%(0/64) vs 8.6% (5/58), Fisher's exact test, both P<0.05]. No neonatal death was reported in the VP+LP and VP-LP groups. No significant difference in the incidence of antepartum hemorrhage was found between the VP+LP group and the PP group. Still, the median time at delivery was earlier [36.0 (34.3-36.9) vs 37.0 (35.7-37.3) weeks, Z=3.79, P<0.001], and the incidence of abnormal fetal heart rate was higher [10.9% (7/64) vs 3.1% (4/128), Fisher's exact test , P=0.044] in the VP+LP group. Furthermore, the neonatal NICU admission rate and the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome were significantly higher in the VP+LP group than in the PP group [36.4% (24/66) vs 12.1% (16/132), χ 2= 16.04, P<0.001; 25.8% (17/66) vs 12.1% (16/132), χ 2= 5.89, P=0.015]. Conclusions:For VP+LP cases, there might be an additional type (type Ⅲ VP). Patients with VP+LP would have more blood loss within 24 h after delivery and a higher risk of adverse neonatal outcomes. Intensive attention should be paid to those diagnosed with LP during the third trimester to identify any VP.

Objective: To explore the role of Thy-1 cell surface antigen（Thy-1）in promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in liver cancer HepG2 and MHCC-97 cells by regulating Notch1 pathway. Methods: MHCC-97 cells with high metastatic characteristics and HepG2 cells with low metastatic characteristics were selected as subjects. WB was used to detect the expression levels of Thy-1 and Notch1 in cells. MHCC-97 and HepG2 cells were transfected with lentivirus to construct cells with high and low expression of Thy-1 protein. Cells were treated with Notch1 agonist rhNF-κB (1 gsu/ml) and Notch1 inhibitor MW167 (100 μmol/L) for 24 h respectively. Transwell assay was used to detect the effect of Thy-1 expression on cell invasion; qPCR was used to detect the effect on Notch1 mRNA expression; WB was used to detect the effect on intracellular EMT-related protein expression. Results: The expression levels of Thy-1 and Notch1 in MHCC-97 cells were higher than those in HepG2 cells (P<0.05). Thy-1 overexpressing HepG2 cells and Thy-1 low expressing MHCC-97 cells were successfully constructed. Compared with HepG2 cells, the invasion ability of Thy-1 overexpressing HepG2 cells was significantly enhanced (183.23±55.34 vs 475.78±80.37, P<0.05), vimentin expression was significantly increased (P<0.05), epithelial cadherin protein expression was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the expression level of Notch1 mRNAwas significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with MHCC-97 cells, the invasion ability of Thy-1 silenced MHCC97 cells was significantly decreased (543.56±77.94 vs 237.44±62.18, P<0.05), the expression of vimentin was significantly decreased (P<0.05), epithelial cadherin protein expression was significantly increased (P<0.05), and Notch1 mRNA expression level was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Treatment of liver cancer cells with Notch1 activators or inhibitors can reverse the changes caused by Thy-1 silencing or overexpression. Conclusion: Thy-1 can affect the EMT process of HepG2 and MHCC-97 cells by regulating the expression of Notch1.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety percutaneous pulmonary vein intervention in patients with severe pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) caused by fibrosing mediastinitis(FM). Methods: This retrospective analysis included 5 FM patients (2 male, 3 female, 54-77 years old) confirmed by clinical presentation and chest computed tomography (CT) scan from January to June 2018 who were from Gansu Provincial Hospital and Shanghai Chest Hospital. CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) further revealed severe PVS caused by fibrotic tissue compression in mediastinum. After selective pulmonary vein angiography, gradually balloon angioplasty was used to expand the pulmonary vein and then stents were implanted in the pre-dilated stenotic pulmonary veins. Evaluation of therapeutic effect was made at 6 months after the procedure. Results: All of 11 serious compression PVS were treated with stent implantation (diameter: 7-10 mm, length: 17-27 mm). After stenting, degree of pulmonary vein stenosis decreased from (83±16)% to (12±4)% (P<0.01). The minimal diameter of the stenotic pulmonary vein was significantly increased from (0.8±0.5)mm to (7.5±0.8)mm (P<0.01). Trans-stenotic gradient decreased from (27.0±15.1)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) to (2.50±0.58)mmHg (P<0.05). Mean pulmonary pressure measured by cardiac catheter decreased from (45.0±9.0)mmHg to (38.7±8.4)mmHg (P<0.05). One patient experienced cardiac arrest due to vagal nerve reflex during big sizing balloon stent dilation and recovered after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. There were no other serious procedure related complications. During the follow-up, severe stenosis at end of proximal stent was evidenced in 1 patient due to fibrotic compression, and another patient developed in-stent thrombosis due to discontinuation of prescribed anticoagulant. Conclusion Percutaneous intervention for severe pulmonary vein stenosis caused by FM is feasible and safe, and can improve hemodynamic caused by the compression of mediastinal vascular structures in these carefully selected patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical and radiographic characteristics and function of erosive hand osteoarthritis (EOA) patients. Methods Data were obtained from 19 patients with EOA, including their social conditions, clinical conditions, radiographic scores and hand function evaluation. The number of hand osteoarthritis (HOA) patients was 312. The control group consisted of non-EOA patients with hand osteoarthritis with a ratio of 4:1 to EOA patients. A non-parameter test analysis was performed. All data were analyzed by SPSS 23.0 statistical analysis, t test, χ2 test, Fisher exact probility and Spearman's correlations analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results Totally data of 19 patients were collected. Eighteen were female. Onset age was (56±8). Average duration was 56 (12~120) months. FIHOA scores of all the EOA patients were at least 5. All the erosions of 39 joints were characteristically central and erosive changes in 7 joints (18%) showed up as gull-wing. Among 39 erosive joints, including 12 (31%) E and 27 (69%) R, 34 (87%) distal interphalangeal joints were involved. Data analysis found out that EOA patients had longer disease duration (Z=2.610, P=0.009), more severe K-L level (44 ±11 vs 26 ±7, t=7.134, P<0.01), higher AUSCAN total score (28±6 vs 21±7, t=3.781, P<0.01) and higher AUSCAN function score (18±6 vs 12±6, t=4.042, P<0.01). The differences of ESR and CRP were not significant between EOA and non-EOA patients. Conclusion Erosions seen in EOA patients are centrally located gull-wing in the DIP joints. EOA patients have longer duration, more severe radiographic damage and worse joint function.
