Objective To investigate the correlations of computed tomography (CT), clinical, and pathological features in patients with invasive lung adenocarcinoma positive and negative for spread through air spaces (STAS). Methods A total of 236 patients with invasive lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by surgery and pathology were selected, including 118 patients in STAS-positive group and 118 patients in STAS-negative group. The clinical data, CT signs, and pathological features of the two groups were collected and analyzed. Results There was a correlation between age and the occurrence of STAS. The age of the positive group was higher than that of the negative group. Smoking history and family history of tumor had no correlation with the occurrence of STAS. CT features signs such as nodule type and shape, tumor-lung interface, lobulation sign, spiculation sign, vacuole/cavity, air-bronchogram, pleural indentation sign, vascular changes, mean diameter of tumor, mean diameter of solid component, and the percentage of tumor solid components were significantly different between patients with and without STAS. The incidence of STAS in patients with solid nodules and partial solid nodules was significantly higher than that in patients with ground glass nodules. Multivariate analysis showed that the percentage of tumor solid components, air-bronchogram sign, lobulation sign, and tumor-lung interface were independent risk factors for predicting the occurrence of STAS. Conclusion The clinical data and CT signs of patients with invasive lung adenocarcinoma are related to the occurrence of STAS. CT signs such as the percentage of tumor solid components, air-bronchogram, lobulation sign, and tumor-lung interface are of great significance to STAS prediction. Our findings provide an important basis for selection of personalized clinical treatment plans.

Objective:To determine the predictive role of combined assessment of vasoactive-inotropic score(VIS) and lactate for the prognosis of patients with postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock(PCS) requiring venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO).Methods:222 adults with PCS requiring VA-ECMO were retrospectively analyzed and divided into four groups according to the cut-off values of VIS and lactate(Lac) at 24 h after ECMO initiation: group 1(59 cases): VIS≤14.5, Lac≤2.45 mmol/L; group 2(17 cases): VIS>14.5, Lac≤2.45 mmol/L; group 3(90 cases): VIS≤14.5, Lac>2.45 mmol/L; group 4(56 cases): VIS>14.5, Lac>2.45 mmol/L. The incidence of in-hospital mortality and other clinical outcomes were analyzed. The associations of VIS and lactate and in-hospital mortality were analyzed using Cox proportional hazards analysis.Results:The in-hospital mortality was 18.6%, 58.8%, 63.3% and 71.4% in the four groups( P<0.001), while the rate of successful weaning off ECMO was 88.1%, 88.2%, 58.9% and 33.9% respectively( P<0.001). The group 1 significantly differed from other three groups with regards to in-hospital mortality and ECMO weaning rate( P<0.05). The groups 1 also showed significantly improved cumulative 60-day survival compared with other three groups( log- rank test, P<0.05). Cox proportional hazards analysis showed age( HR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, P=0.001), female( HR=1.87, 95% CI: 1.27-2.76, P=0.002), VIS at 24 h after ECMO initiation( HR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.05, P=0.020), and lactate at 24h after ECMO initiation( HR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.08-1.16, P<0.001) were independently predictive of in-hospital mortality. Conclusion:Patients with VIS≤14.5 and Lac≤2.45 within 24 h after ECMO initiation had better in-hospital and 60-day outcomes, suggesting that combined assessment of VIS and lactate may be instructive for determining the prognosis of PCS patients requiring VA-ECMO support.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the influencing factors of teachers' teaching input status on teaching effect satisfaction in medical colleges.Methods:A total of 782 teachers of basic medicine and clinical medicine in a local medical college in Hebei Province were selected by multi-stage stratified random sampling method. The (mean ± standard deviation) was used to describe the status quo of teachers' teaching input, and the t- or F-test was used for inter-group comparison. The influence of teaching input on teaching satisfaction was analyzed by multiple linear regression. Results:The teaching input of medical college teachers was affected by different demographic characteristics, among which the teaching time input was affected by gender, age, professional title, teaching age, educational background and category (all P<0.05), the emotional input was affected by age,professional title,teaching age,educational background and category (all P<0.05), and the teaching ability development input was affected by age, professional title, teaching age and category (all P<0.05). There was a correlation between the population characteristics of teachers and the teaching input and the satisfaction of teaching effect, and the teaching age of teachers is negatively correlated with the satisfaction of teaching effect ( β=-0.057, P<0.05). There were positive correlations between teaching satisfaction and teaching effect (all P<0.05), including the number of lesson preparation hours, the number of weekly teaching hours, the degree of teaching attention, the degree of medical teaching research balance, the learning and expansion of teaching skills, and the difference of teaching observation reflecting teaching input. The teaching input of basic medicine teachers was significantly higher than that of clinical teachers (all P<0.05). Conclusion:It is suggested that medical colleges and clinical teaching bases should pay attention to the construction of teacher echelon, optimization of policies and measures to balance the relationship between medical education and research, construction of the support system of teachers' teaching work input to improve teachers' professional efficacy, and the building of a professional development community of teachers integrating basic medical teachers and clinical teachers to improve the training quality of medical students.

Objective:To examine the long-term survival outcomes and identify mortality risk factors for coronary artery bypass grafting patients who received venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(VA-ECMO) for postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock.Methods:Data from 121 consecutive venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-treated coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) patients at Beijing Anzhen Hospital between June 2012 and December 2016 were analyzed. There were 84 males and 24 females. The median age was 62(55, 67) years, and the median body mass index was 25(23, 27)kg/m 2. Thirty-seven patients(34%) had left main artery disease, and 56 patients(52%) underwent off-pump CABG. According to the 3 year survival outcome after ECMO, patients were divided into survival group(35 cases) and non-survival group(73 cases). The differences of clinical indicators between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Multivariable Cox regression modeling was used to identify factors independently associated with 36 month mortality. Results:Sixty-five patients(60%) could be weaned from VA-ECMO, 49 patients(45%) survived to hospital discharge, and 35 patients(32%) survived to 3 years. The median( IQR) time on VA-ECMO support was 4(3, 5) days. The median( IQR) length of ICU stay and hospital stay duration were 8(5, 12) and 20(13, 29) days, respectively. Older age( HR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.03-1.10, P<0.001), left main coronary artery disease( HR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.00-2.60, P=0.048), and vasoactive inotropic score( HR=1.09, 95% CI: 1.03-1.17, P=0.007)were independent risk factors associated with 3-year mortality. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the model, which was constructed with age≥60years, left main coronary artery disease, and vasoactive inotropic score>60, was 0.88(95% CI: 0.80-0.95). Conclusion:Long-term survival of patients who survive to discharge appears favorable. Older age, left main coronary artery disease, and vasoactive inotropic score were associated with 3-year mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients who received VA-ECMO.

Objective To explore the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Data were collected from 44 patients with cholangiocarcinoma who underwent PET/CT in Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from September 2017 to October 2020. All patients underwent upper abdominal CT and MRI and whole-body PET/CT. The diagnostic value of three examinations was compared for primary lesions, recurrent lesions, and regional lymph node metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma. Results There were no significant differences in the diagnostic sensitivity of CT, MRI, and PET/CT in the primary lesions and regional lymph node metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in the diagnostic sensitivity of the three examinations for recurrent cholangiocarcinoma lesions (P < 0.05). Conclusion PET/CT has high diagnostic value for recurrent lesions of cholangiocarcinoma, but the three examinations showed no significant differences in the diagnostic sensitivity for primary lesions and regional lymph node metastasis.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the features of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Methods A total of 53 patients with DCIS confirmed by surgery and pathology in Dezhou Second People’s Hospital from September 2018 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into HER-2 positive group (29 cases) and HER-2 negative group (24 cases). MRI features were compared between the two groups. Results There were significant differences in the internal enhancement characteristics, microvascular sign, and time-intensity curve type between the two groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in lesion morphology, non-mass-like enhancement pattern, and apparent diffusion coefficient value (P > 0.05). The HER-2 positive group showed clumped enhancement (65.5%), type Ⅱ (48.1%) andtype Ⅲ (29.6%) time-intensity curves, and microvascular sign (89.7%). The HER-2 negative group showed clusteredring enhancement (50.0%), type Ⅱ (45.8%) and type I (54.2%) time-intensity curves, and microvascular sign (54.2%). A combination of clumped enhancement, microvascular sign, and type Ⅲ time-intensity curve showed 100% specificity and 100% positive predictive value for the diagnosis of HER-2 positive DCIS. Conclusion Clumped enhancement, microvascular sign, and type Ⅱ or Ⅲ time-intensity curve on MRI can largely reflect the expression of HER-2 in DCIS. The three can be used in combination to improve the diagnostic efficiency of HER-2 positive DCIS.
