Objective To investigate the application value of amlodipine atorvastatin calcium tablet(AACT)combined with evidence-based emotional nursing mode(EENM)in elderly patients with hypertension complicated by coronary heart disease(HTN-CHD).Methods HTN-CHD patients admitted to the department of cardiology of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected retrospectively as study subjects.According to the intervention methods,the HTN-CHD patients were divided into the AACT group and the EENM group.Patients in the AACT group were given AACT combined with the usual care intervention,and the EENM group was given EENM on the basis of the AACT group.The changes of psychological status(SDS,SAS,and SPBS),adherence(medication compliance,daily exercise behavior,poor management behavior,and dietary management behavior)and blood pressure[(systolic blood pressure,SBP)and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)]were compared between two groups.The incidence of cardiovascular events in the two groups at 6 months was observed and compared.Results A total of 118 HTN-CHD patients(55 in AACT group and 63 in EENM group)were included in this study.Before the intervention,there was no significant statistical difference in the SDS,SAS,SPBS,medication compliance,daily exercise,poor management,diet management scores,SBP and DBP between AACT and EENM groups(P＞0.05).After the intervention,SDS,SAS,SPBP scores,SBP and DBP of the HTN-CHD patients significantly decreased in both AACT and EENM groups compared with before(P＜0.05).However,the medication compliance behavior score,daily exercise behavior score,bad management behavior score and diet management behavior score increased significantly compared with before(P＜0.05);SDS,SAS,SPBS scores,SBP and DBP of the patients in EENM group decreased more than those in the AACT group(P＜0.05),however,the increase of medication compliance,daily exercise,poor management and diet management behavior scores of the EENM group was higher than that in the AACT group(P＜0.05).Furthermore,the incidence of cardiovascular events was lower in the EENM group than in the AACT group(P＜0.05).Conclusion EENM combined with AACT intervention is beneficial to improve the compliance with HTN-CHD patients,improve the psychological status and blood pressure values,and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.

As an important part of tumor microenvironment, neutrophils are poorly understood due to their spatiotemporal heterogeneity in tumorigenesis. Here we defined, at single-cell resolution, CD44-CXCR2- neutrophils as tumor-specific neutrophils (tsNeus) in both mouse and human gastric cancer (GC). We uncovered a Hippo regulon in neutrophils with unique YAP signature genes (e.g., ICAM1, CD14, EGR1) distinct from those identified in epithelial and/or cancer cells. Importantly, knockout of YAP/TAZ in neutrophils impaired their differentiation into CD54+ tsNeus and reduced their antitumor activity, leading to accelerated GC progression. Moreover, the relative amounts of CD54+ tsNeus were found to be negatively associated with GC progression and positively associated with patient survival. Interestingly, GC patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy had increased numbers of CD54+ tsNeus. Furthermore, pharmacologically enhancing YAP activity selectively activated neutrophils to suppress refractory GC, with no significant inflammation-related side effects. Thus, our work characterized tumor-specific neutrophils in GC and revealed an essential role of YAP/TAZ-CD54 axis in tsNeus, opening a new possibility to develop neutrophil-based antitumor therapeutics.

Objective:To observe the clinical effectiveness of manual therapy based on posture decoding for patients with lower crossed syndrome (LCS).Methods:Thirty-six LCS patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 18. The observation group received manual therapy based on posture decoding, while the control group was treated with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), both in 20min sessions, once a week for 4 weeks. Before the experiment, after one, two and four weeks of treatment and followed-up 4 and 8 weeks later, both groups were evaluated using a visual analogue scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and finger-floor distance (FFD). Anterior pelvic tilt angles (ASIS-PSISs), sacral slopes (SS), lumbar curve index (LCI) and surface EMG flexion-relaxation ratios (FRRs) were also recorded from both groups before and after the treatment.Results:After one and four weeks of the treatment, the average VAS, ODI, and FFD had decreased significantly in both groups, with all significantly lower in the observation group, on average. At the final follow-up, the average VAS and ODI scores of both groups were significantly lower than before the treatment, with those of the observation group significantly lower than the control group′s averages. After 4 weeks of treatment significant differences were observed also in the group′s average ASIS-PSISs, SSs and LCIs compared with before the treatment. And right after the treatment the left and right surface electromyography FRRs of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group.Conclusion:Manual therapy based on posture decoding can significantly improve the pelvis forward angle and lumbar motion of LCS patients, relieving back pain and relaxing back muscles.

Bacterial infection is the main cause of infectious diseases in children. Antibacterials play an important role in anti infection treatment of children. At present, the treatment of antimicrobial drugs in children is facing a severe situation of bacterial resistance. In January 2020, a children′s specialized hospital carried out the practice of precise management of antibiotics in combination with key performance indicators. Through the multi sectoral linkage of management and technology, eight key performance indicators and assessment methods were set up from three levels of antibiotic use, bacterial resistance and hospital infection, to standardize the clinical application of antibiotics and continue to promote the rational use of antibiotics. This practice had improved the performance indicators of antibacterial management. Among them, the use intensity of antibacterial drugs for inpatients decreased from 40.07 DDD in 2019 to 29.00 DDD in 2021, the use rate of antibacterial drugs for inpatients decreased from 81.32% to 64.40%, the percentage of antibacterial drug expenses in total drug expenses decreased from 35.41% to 26.82%, the use proportion of non restricted antibacterial drugs in antibacterial drugs increased from 71.30% to 82.21%, and the drug resistance rate of Salmonella to β-Lactam/enzyme inhibitors decreased from 4.84% to 0.03%, and the incidence of hospital infection decreased from 1.16% to 0.96%. The precise management of antibiotics in combination with key performance indicators improved the level of rational use of antibiotics, effectively curbed bacterial resistance, achieved phased results, so as to provide a reference for the scientific management of antibiotics in children′s hospitals.

Objective:To explore the application of mixed BOPPPS (bridge-in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory-learning, post-assessment, summary) combined with case analysis teaching in nursing practice teaching in the department of endocrinology.Methods:Forty-five nurses of Batch 2017 who practiced in the Department of Endocrinology were selected as the control group, using traditional teaching; 45 practical nursing students of Batch 2018 were selected as the research group, using mixed BOPPPS combined with case analysis teaching. After the teaching, the teaching effect was evaluated by the theoretical and practical skill operation assessments, and the satisfaction with the teaching was investigated through the questionnaire. SPSS 22.0 was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:The scores of basic theory [(28.31±2.07) vs. (24.66±2.15)] and professional theory [(67.01±3.05) vs. (55.62±3.20)] in the theoretical assessment of practical nurses in the research group were higher than those in the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.05); the scores of each sub-item of the practical skills operation assessment were better than those in the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.05); in terms of teaching satisfaction, the research group was better than the control group in such 10 aspects as whether to improve the level of theoretical and practical skills operation, whether to improve the awareness of humanistic care and whether to improve the nurse-patient communication ability, etc., with significant differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The BOPPPS combined with case analysis teaching significantly improves the theoretical and practical skills and comprehensive literacy of the endocrinology practical nursing students, and the teaching satisfaction is significantly better than that of the traditional teaching, which is of promotion value.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer and application value of its nomogram prediction model.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 914 patients with T1 colorectal cancer who underwent radical resection in the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from June 2008 to December 2019 were collected. There were 528 males and 386 females, aged from 25 to 87 years, with a median age of 63 years. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological data of patients with T1 colorectal cancer; (2) follow-up; (3) analysis of influencing factors for lymph node metastasis; (4) development and internal validation of a nomogram predition model. Patients were regularlly followed up once three months within postoperative 2 years and once six months thereafter to detect tumor recurrence and survival. The endpoint of follow-up was at postoperative 5 years. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates and draw survival curves. The Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Logistic regression analysis. Based on results of multivariate analysis, a Logistic regressional nomogram for prediction of lymph node metastasis probability was constructed using R language software. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the consistency between probability predicted by the nomogram model and actual observation probability, which was reprensented by a consistency index. The Bootstrap method was used for evaluation of the model performance to receive the calibration curve. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to calculate the goodness of fit in model. Results:(1) Clinicopathological data of patients with T1 colorectal cancer: 687 of 914 patients underwent direct surgery and 227 underwent remedial operation after endoscopic resection. All the 914 patients were confirmed as pT1NxM0 colorectal cancer by pathological examination. The tumor diameter was (2.3±1.2)cm. The pathological catogaries of 914 patients included 865 cases of adenocarcinoma and 49 cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma. The tumor differentiation degree of 914 patients included 727 cases of high or middle differentiation and 187 cases of low differentiation or undifferentiation. Of the 914 patients, 633 cases had submucosal infiltration depth ≥1 000 μm and 281 cases had submucosal infiltration depth <1 000 μm. There were 110 cases with nerve vessel invasion and 804 without nerve vessel invasion. The number of intraoperative lymph node dissection was 13 (range, 1-48). There were 804 cases in stage N0 of N staging, 98 cases in stage N1 and 12 cases in stage N2. There was no perioperative death. (2) Follow-up: 886 of 914 patients were followed up for 25 months (range, 1-129 months). During the follow-up, 24 patients had tumor recurrence or metastasis. The 5-year cumulative tumor recurrence rate of 914 patients was 4.8% and the median recurrence time was 17.0 months. Liver was the main site of tumor recurrence, accounting for 58.3%(14/24). The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate of 914 patients was 95.2%. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 96.3% of 804 patients without lymph node metastasis, versus 86.6% of 110 patients with lymph node metastasis, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=6.83, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for lymph node metastasis: results of univariate analysis showed that preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), preoperative CA19-9, tumor differentiation degree, submucosal infiltration depth, nerve vessel invasion were related factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer ( odds ratio=2.56, 3.25, 2.21, 2.68, 3.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.41-4.67, 1.22-8.66, 1.43-3.41, 1.56-4.88, 2.10-5.48, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative CEA ≥5 μg/L, preoperative CA19-9 ≥37 U/mL, poor differentiation or undifferentiation, submucosal infiltration depth ≥1 000 μm and nerve vessel invasion were independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer ( odds ratio=2.23, 3.47, 2.01, 2.31, 2.91, 95% confidence interval as 1.02-4.15, 1.08-10.87, 1.03-3.27, 1.40-4.47, 1.64-5.13, P<0.05). (4) Development and internal validation of a nomogram predition model: based on results of multivariate Logistic analysis, a nomogram prediction model for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer was developed. The nomogram score was 59 for preoperative CEA >5 μg/L, 100 for preoperative CA19-9 ≥37 U/mL, 48 for poor differentiation or undifferentiation, 67 for submucosal infiltration depth ≥1 000 μm and 92 for nerve vessel invasion, respectively. The total of different scores for different clinicopathological factors corresponded to the probability of lymph node metastasis. The receiver operating characteristic curve was drawed to evaluate the predictive performance of nomogram for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer, with the area under curve of 0.70(95% confidence interval as 0.64-0.75, P<0.05). The Bootstrap internal validation of predictive performance in the nomogram predition model showed a consistency index of 0.70 (95% confidence interval as 0.65-0.75). The calibration chart showed a good consistency between the probability predicted by the nomogram model and actual probability of lymph node metastasis. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed a good fitting effect in model ( χ2=1.61, P>0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative CEA ≥5 μg/L, preoperative CA19-9 ≥37 U/mL, poor differentiation or undifferentiation, submucosal infiltration depth ≥ 1 000 μm and nerve vessel invasion are independent risk factors for lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer. The constructed nomogram model can help predict the probability of lymph node metastasis in T1 colorectal cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of down-regulating lncRNA LINC00263 targeting miR-4458 on the proliferation, migration, invasion and radiosensitivity of breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells.Methods:The expression differences of LINC00263 in breast cancer tissues, adjacent tissues, normal breast epithelial cells and breast cancer cells were determined by qRT-PCR. Transfection of LINC00263 shRNA in breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells down-regulated the expression of LINC00263, and the cloning experiment was used to detect the radiosensitivity. Breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells were treated with 6 Gy irradiation. CCK-8 assay was employed to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was adopted to detect cell apoptosis. Transwell chamber test was performed to detect cell migration and invasion. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of C-Caspase-3 and C-Caspase-9, MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins. Bioinformatics software predicted that LINC00263 and miR-4458 had complementary binding sites, and the luciferase reporter system was utilized determine the targeting relationship between LINC00263 and miR-4458. LINC00263 shRNA and miR-4458 inhibitor were co-transfected into breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells, and 6 Gy irradiation was given to detect the changes in cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion and migration.Results:The expression level of LINC00263 in breast cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues. The expression level of LINC00263 in breast cancer cells was higher compared with that in normal breast epithelial cells. The radiosensitivity of breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells was increased after transfection of LINC00263 shRNA. Transfection of LINC00263 shRNA and radiation exerted a synergistic effect, jointly inhibited breast cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, promoted cell apoptosis, up-regulated the expression levels of C-Caspase-3 and C-Caspase-9 proteins in cells, and down-regulated those of MMP-2 and MMP-9 proteins. Down-regulation of LINC00263 targetedly up-regulated miR-4458 expression. miR-4458 inhibitor reversed the inhibitory effect of LINC00263 shRNA combined with radiation on the proliferation, migration, invasion and apoptosis promotion of breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells.Conclusion:Down-regulating lncRNA LINC00263 targeting miR-4458 inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer SK-BR-3 cells, and improves cell radiosensitivity.

In 2019, the rate of primary tooth caries rate among 1 598 preschool children in Shinan District and Shibei District of Qingdao was 59.4%. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that compared with children ≤ 2 years old with history of iron deficiency anemia (IDA), suffering IDA, breastfeeding to 2 years old and no tooth melanin, children ≤ 2 years old without history of IDA, not suffering IDA, breastfeeding to less than 2 years old and heavy tooth melanin had a lower risk of primary tooth caries, with OR ( 95%CI) values about 0.328 (0.197-0.549), 0.354 (0.208-0.603), 0.636 (0.437-0.926) and 0.301 (0.143-0.635), respectively.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and effect of prognostic factors in patients with different pathological types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.Methods:We collected and analyzed the clinical data of 89 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis who were treated at Huadong Hospital from March 2013 to May 2020. The data were analyzed via log-rank and Cox multivariate analyses.Results:The median overall survival time of the 89 cases was 10.2 months. Patients with B-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis did not reach the median overall survival time. The median overall survival times of T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and NK-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were 10.2 and 3.0 months, respectively. The pathological type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (OS: P=0041, PFS: P=0.015) , ECOG score ≥ 3 (OS: P=0.031, PFS: P=0.030) , hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (OS: P=0.005, PFS: P=0.040) , lymphadenopathy (OS: P=0.007, PFS: P=0.012) , and splenomegaly (OS: P=0.276, PFS: P=0.324) were related to the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Splenectomy could improve the prognosis of patients with lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, especially T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Conclusion:The clinical characteristics of patients with different pathological types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis were similar but were different in the overall survival rate and the effect of prognostic factors. We suggested that patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis should receive more than combined chemotherapy. To improve the prognosis and survival rate of patients, those with B-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and NK-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis promptly require hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Moreover, patients with T-cell lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis should consider splenectomy.
