Objective To investigate the correlation between levels of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), platelet surface P-selectin (CD62P), and inflammatory factors and cerebral artery stenosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). Methods A total of 305 patients with ACI complicated with cerebral artery stenosis admitted to Zhongwu Hospital of Suqian City and Xinyi People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research subjects. According to the degree of cerebral artery stenosis, they were divided into grade I group (stenosis degree<50%, n=85), grade II group (stenosis degree of 50%-75%, n=128), and grade III group (stenosis degree>75%, n=92). Sixty-eight ACI patients without cerebral artery stenosis during the same period were included in the reference group. The levels of serum inflammatory factors [C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8)], ICAM-1 and CD62P were compared among the four groups. Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between each factor and degree of cerebral artery stenosis. Results The levels of CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, ICAM-1 and CD62P in the grade I, II and III groups were higher than those in the reference group. The levels of these factors were higher in the grade II and III groups than those in the grade I group, while the levels of various factors were higher in the grade III group than those in the grade II group (P<0.05). Spearman analysis showed that CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, ICAM-1, and CD62P were positively correlated with the degree of cerebral artery stenosis in patients with ACI complicated with cerebral artery stenosis (P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of serum inflammatory factors, ICAM-1 and CD62P are significantly correlated with cerebral artery stenosis degree in patients with ACI.

Objective To explore the TCM syndrome characteristics,inherent patterns,and the relationships between TCM syndrome elements and related factors in patients with asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)overlap(ACO).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 72 ACO patients to determine the distribution of TCM syndrome elements and to analyze their correlations with underlying diseases and laboratory indicators.Results(1)Among the 72 ACO patients,the involved diseases-location syndrome elements included lung,heart,exterior,kidney,liver,small intestine,spleen,and meridians,while disease-nature syndrome elements included phlegm,yin deficiency,heat,qi deficiency,fluid retention,blood deficiency,dampness,yang deficiency,cold,blood stasis,external wind,qi stagnation,parasitic infestation,dryness,food stagnation,and instability.(2)The study identified 17 combinations of diseases-location syndrome elements,and the two-element combinations were the most common forms(40.28％,29/72),including"lung+exterior"(18.06％),"lung+heart"(16.67％),and"lung+heart+exterior"(9.72％).A total of 55 combinations of disease-nature syndrome elements were observed,with mixed deficiency-excess patterns(58.57％,41/70)being predominant.Common combinations included"phlegm+heat+yin deficiency"(5.71％),"phlegm+yin deficiency"(4.29％),"phlegm+heat"(4.29％),and"phlegm+heat+dampness+yin deficiency"(4.29％).(3)Logistic regression analysis revealed that in ACO patients,pulmonary hypertension was positively correlated with qi deficiency(OR=1.169,P＜0.05),serving as an independent risk factor for qi deficiency.Smoking was positively correlated with qi deficiency(OR=7.108,P＜0.05)and heart involvement(OR=29.189,P＜0.01),acting as their independent risk factors.Diabetes was positively correlated with exterior syndrome(OR=7.091,P＜0.05)and acted its independent risk factor,while hemoglobin levels were negatively correlated with exterior syndrome(OR=0.969,P＜0.05),acting as a protective factor.Conclusion ACO mainly involves the lung,with associations to the heart and exterior.Its nature is characterized by deficiency in the origin and excess in the superficiality,with yin deficiency and qi deficiency as predominant deficiencies and phlegm as the primary excess,often accompanied by heat,fluid retention,and dampness.Patients with pulmonary hypertension are more prone to qi deficiency,those with a smoking history exhibit higher risks of qi deficiency and heart involvement,diabetic patients are more likely to present exterior syndrome,and the increase of hemoglobin levels may reduce the occurrence of exterior syndrome.

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of sinus elevation surgery and implant restorationdue to insufficient bone massafter tooth extraction in patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) and to provide a reference for use in clinical practice. Methods: This study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from the patients. Forty-five teeth were extracted from patients with OMS in the maxillary posterior area (the study group). Sinus elevation and implantation were performed due to insufficient bone height in the implant area 6-8 months after tooth extraction in the study group. Forty-eight teeth were extracted from patients without "OMS" in the maxillary posterior area (the control group), and sinus elevation and implantation were performed due to insufficient bone height in the implant area 6-8 months after tooth extraction inthe control group. In the study group, 13 cases of discontinuous maxillary sinus floor bone and residual alveolar bone height of the maxillary sinus floor less than 4 mm were addressed with lateral wall sinus elevation, and the other 32 cases were addressed with crest-approach sinus elevation. In the control group, 8 cases of residual alveolar bone height less than 4 mm in the maxillary sinus floor were addressed with lateral wall sinus,and the other 40 cases were addressed with crest approach sinus elevation. Restorations were placed 6 to 8 months after surgery. The patients were followed up 21 days, 3 months, and 8 months after implantation and every 6 months after the placement of the restorations. The sinus bone gain (SBG), apical bone height (ABL) and marginal bone loss (MBL) were statistically analyzed 24 months after the restoration. Results: The average preoperative mucosal thickness in the 45 patients in the study group was (1.556 ± 0.693) mm, which was significantly larger than that in the control group (1.229 ± 0.425) mm (P<0.001). There were no perforations in either group. Twenty-four months after restoration, there was no significant difference in the SBG, ABH or MBL between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion After the extraction of teeth from patients with OMS, the inflammation of the maxillary sinus decreased, and the bone height and density in the edentulous area were restored to a certain degree. The effects of sinus floor lifting surgery and implant restoration do not differ between patients with and without OMS.

Objective:To analyze the role of home medical and nursing care team in the service system of home disabled elderly.Methods:A total of 100 home disabled elderly managed by our hospital from Jan to Dec 2022 were enrolled,and the home medical and nursing care teams strengthened home rehabilitation nursing services and guidance,health risk guidance,psychological support,and nutrition guidance and intervention.The management results before and after intervention was compared.Results:After intervention,the mastery of health risk management,psychological support and nutritional intervention,and the compliance rate of rehabilitation exercise were higher than those before intervention(P＜0.05).The incidence of pressure injury was lower than that before intervention(P＜0.05).After intervention,the satisfaction rate of the elderly to the work of the home medical and nursing care team was 95%.Conclusion:Home medical and nursing care team plays an important role in the nursing service system of the disabled elderly,and play an important role in the construction of a three-level service health management system of institution-community-home.
