Objective To compare the effects of two exercise intensities on metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods Forty-nine MS patients hospitalized in Taiyuan Central Hospital from December,2022 to January 2024 were selected and randomly divided into two groups:a standard group(n=24)and individual group(n=25).All patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test(CPET)before and after treatment,collecting major indexes including body parameter,body component,and metabolic indicator for prescribing exercise programs.The standard group was trained with exercise intensity prescribed on heart rate reserve,while the individual group received the exercise with intensity prescribed on ventilatory threshold.Both groups received equal energy consumption exercise intervention with the same exercise frequency for 12 weeks.Results The two groups demonstrated significant improvements in waist circumference(WC),body mass index(BMI),body fat related indexes,and systolic blood pressure after intervention(P<0.05).The individual group showed significant improvements inWC,BMI and body fat related indexes as compared to the standard group(P<0.05).Both groups showed significant improvements in peak oxygen uptake,(PeakVO2),peak load power(Peak WR),peak metabolic equivalent(PeakMets),and peak respiratory exchange ratio(Peak RER)after intervention(P<0.05).The individual group presented significant improvements in peak heart rate(HRpeak),peak oxygen pulse(Peak VO2/HR),and maximum voluntary ventilation(MVV)(P<0.05)after intervention.Before intervention,the standard group demonstrated significantly higher levels in PeakVO2 and Peak MET compared to the individual group(P<0.05),but after intervention the two groups showed no significant differences in the two indexes.After the intervention,the individual group demonstrated insignificant improvements in all indexes compared to the standard group(P>0.05).Conclusions Both exercise prescriptions based on CPET can effectively improve the health-related indicators of MS patients on condition of moderate exercise intensity.However,the program prescribed based on individualized ventilatory threshold shows superiority to the program prescribed based on maximum physiological value in improving these indicators.

Patients with metabolic syndrome(MS)are at potential risk for cardiovascular disease and have received increasing public and medical attention.Studies have shown that regular physical exercise can effectively regulate meta-bolic indicators such as blood pressure,blood sugar and blood lipids,and play a positive role in reducing the risk of cardio-vascular disease and improving the prognosis of patients.Exercise intensity has been identified as the most important as-pect in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death and all-cause mortality in exercise intervention.Therefore,the design of exercise prescription which is both scientific and satisfying individual differences has become the focus of research.Most of the current clinical studies are based on the percentage of exercise intensity as the basis for the formulation of standard-ized exercise prescription for MS patients,while the studies on the individualized threshold of exercise intensity based on cardiopulmonary exercise test(CPET)are still few.CPET has shown that individualized exercise prescription can effec-tively reduce body composition index,blood pressure and blood glucose,improve cardiorespiratory function,exercise en-durance and quality of life in MS patients.This paper reviewed the development of individualized exercise programs with different intensification according to threshold indexes in CPET,analyzed the intervention effects and possible mechanisms for MS patients and subgroups,and provided certain reference for the formulation and implementation of personalized exer-cise prescriptions for MS patients,and also provided references for in-depth research on individualized exercise intervention for MS.

Objective:To explore the effect of communication competence and psychological resilience on job burnout among Operating Room nurses.Methods:From March to June 2023, randomized clustering sampling was used to select 138 registered Operating Room nurses from four ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Taizhou for investigation. The survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, Operating Room Nurses' Job Stressor Scale, Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Nurses' Clinic Communication Competence Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to explore the effects of communication competence and psychological resilience on job burnout among Operating Room nurses.Results:A total of 138 questionnaires were sent out, and 133 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.38% (133/138). Among 133 Operating Room nurses, the job burnout score was (56.35±9.28), and the communication competence, psychological resilience, and work stress scale scores were (196.71±18.92), (78.09±18.31), and (96.37±22.47), respectively. Pearson correlation showed that job burnout among Operating Room nurses was negatively correlated with psychological resilience ( r=-0.475, P<0.01) and communication competence ( r=-0.241, P<0.01), and positively correlated with work stress ( r=0.360, P<0.01). Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that, after controlling for other variables, psychological resilience and communication competence were the influencing factors of job burnout among Operating Room nurses ( P<0.01), which could explain 17.70% of the variation. Conclusions:The level of job burnout among Operating Room nurses is relatively high, and psychological resilience and communication competence are independent influencing factors. Managers can provide psychological counseling and support services for Operating Room nurses, offer communication competence training programs, and prevent and reduce job burnout among Operating Room nurses.

Objective:To explore an applicative value of a 5-type precise diagnostic technique in integrated precise repair and reconstruction of digit-tip injuries.Methods:From March 2012 to June 2022, 45 digit-tip injuries (38 patients, with an average age of 33 years old) were classified under microscope on the basis of effectiveness of blood vessels remained in the severed tissue. Among the injured digits, there were 15 thumbs, 9 index fingers, 16 middle fingers, 4 ring fingers and 1 little finger. The diagnosis was categorised into 5 types according to involvement of blood vessels: Type I, injury of proper palmar digital artery (10 digits) ; Type II, injury of small artery (5 digits) ; Type Ⅲ, injury of whole vein (4 digits) ; Type IV, injury of superficial palmar arch (4 digits) ; and Type V, vessels missing (22 digits). The timing and therapeutic method of surgery were selected based on the precise classification of 5 types of diagnosis: (1) For type Ⅰ-Ⅳ injuries, 16 patients (23 digits) received in situ tissue replantation after emergency classification. Of which, type Ⅰ-Ⅱ injuries received conventional replantation, type Ⅲ injuries had replantation with arterialised vein, and type IV injuries received replantation with artery-vein shunt. (2) For the type V injuries, 22 patients (22 digits), staged and categorised flap reconstruction with toe flaps were performed. Of which, 7 were performed in emergency surgery, 12 in subemergency surgery and 3 in elective surgery. Based on the severity of defects, small tissue flaps of toe were used in reconstruction of type V injuries and following toe flaps were employed: 9 hallux nail flaps, 3 hallux nail flaps (for reconstruction of distal phalanx), 5 hallux fibular flaps, 3 hallux abdominal flaps and 2 compound tissue flaps with nail bed of the second toe. The sizes of the 45 replanted/transferred tissues flaps were 1.0 cm×0.6 cm×0.4 cm-2.2 cm×1.5 cm×0.8 cm. Donor sites directly sutured. Medical APP was applied in the rehabilitation exercises. Functions of digits were assessed by scheduled follow-ups at outpatient clinic and via remote medical APP to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:All small tissue blocks and (or) tissue flaps survived after replantation and (or) flap reconstruction of 45 injured digits. Postoperative follow-up lasted for 6 months to 7 years, with 36 months in average. The appearances of the reconstructed digit-tips were close to normal digits, with TPD at 3-7 mm. According to the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ), 32 patients (37 digits) were in excellent, 5 patients (7 digits) in good, and 1 patient (1 digit) in poor, with 97.78% of excellent and good rate.Conclusion:Five-type precise diagnostic technique is the key to the integrated and precise reconstruction of digit-tip injuries. This method has been clinically validated and achieved realistic recovery from the injured digits.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of additional surgery after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer.Methods:Sixty-nine patients with early gastric cancer who underwent ESD and were diagnosed as having non-curative resection by postoperative pathology at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2014 to December 2020 were included in the retrospective observation. Patients were divided into the additional surgery group ( n=12) and the follow-up group ( n=57). The differences in clinical and pathological data of the two groups, the surgical outcomes of the additional surgery group, three-year recurrence-free survival and tumor-specific survival of the two groups, and the independent risk factors affecting three-year recurrence-free survival in the follow-up group were analyzed. Results:Compared with the follow-up group, the rates of submucosal infiltration [66.7% (8/12) VS 21.1% (12/57), χ 2=7.927, P=0.005], vascular invasion [33.3% (4/12) VS 1.8% (1/57), P=0.003] and nerve invasion [16.7% (2/12) VS 0.0% (0/57), P=0.028] in the additional surgery group were significantly higher. In the additional surgery group, the interval between the additional surgery and ESD was 18.5 d (7-55 d), the surgical time was 286.4±85.9 min, and the number of dissected lymph nodes was 25.6±7.4. Four patients (33.3%) had residual tumor. Postoperative complications occurred in 4 patients (33.3%) (all were discharged after conservative treatment), and there was no perioperative death. One patient developed liver metastases 17 months after the surgery, and died 22 months after surgery due to liver metastases. One patient died 22 months after surgery due to non-tumor causes. The three-year recurrence-free survival and three-year tumor-specific survival in additional surgery group were 91.7% (11/12) and 91.7% (11/12), respectively, and those in the follow-up group were 87.7% (50/57) and 100.0% (57/57), respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor size ≥2 cm was an independent risk factor for three-year recurrence-free survival in the follow-up group ( P=0.037, HR=15.595, 95% CI: 1.181-205.952). Conclusion:Additional surgery and close follow-up are safe and feasible therapeutic strategies for early gastric cancer patients who underwent non-curative ESD. Clinicians should make reasonable choice based on the pathological results, patients' physical condition and surgery intention. But for patients with primary tumor size ≥2 cm, additional surgery is recommended.

Objective:To explore the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of rectal neuroendocrine tumor with lymphatic metastasis.Method:There were 153 case who were diagnosed with RNET, among them, there were 10 patients(6.5%) with lymphatic metastasis in Affiliated Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology from January 2012 to December 2020, including 4 males and 6 females, aged from 32 to 71 years old, and the median age was 56.5 years.Results:Of the 10 patients, 3 had tumors < 1 cm in diameter, 4 had 1 to 2 cm, and 3 had > 2 cm. Preoperative CT examination was performed in 10 patients, of which 9 suggested lymphatic metastasis; preoperative MRI examination was performed in 7 patients, of which 6 suggested lymphatic metastasis. All patients were received radical resection, in which Miles operation was performed in 2 cases, Dixon operation in 6 cases, and additional Dixon operation after endoscopic submucosal dissection in 2 cases.All patients were followed up for 51 months (ranged from 14 to 118 months). Nine patients had no recurrence or metastasis, and one patient had abdominal metastasis 40 months after surgery and died after 31 months of comprehensive treatment.Conclusions:Lymphatic metastasis is rare in rectal neuroendocrine tumor. Imaging examination has important reference value for judging the status of lymphatic metastasis. For rectal neuroendocrine tumor with lymphatic metastasis, radical resection is effective.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) combined with digestive tract cancer.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 163 patients with gastric GIST who were admitted to the Union Hospital admitted to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from January 2002 to December 2021 were collected. There were 606 males and 557 females, aged 59(range,20?94)years. Of the 1 163 patients, 129 cases with gastric GIST combined with other digestive tract cancer were divided into the combined group, and 1 034 cases with only gastric GIST were divided into the non-combined group. Observation indicators: (1) clinicopathological features of patients; (2) surgical situations and postoperative complications; (3) follow-up and survival of patients; (4) analysis of prognosis associated affecting factors. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination, telephone and online interview to detect survival of patients up to January 2022. The overall survival time was defined as the time from surgery to the last tine of follow-up or the outcome events, such as death of patient, loss of follow-up, etc. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measure-ment data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Com-parison of ordinal data was conducted using the non-parameter Mann-Whitney U test. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves and calculate survival rates, and Log-Rank test was used to conduct survival analysis. The COX proportional hazard model was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Clinicopathological features of patients. Of the 129 patients in the combined group, there were 81 cases combined with gastric cancer, 39 cases combined with esophageal cancer, 8 cases combined with colon cancer and 1 case combined with rectal cancer. Gender (male, female), cases with age ≤60 years or>60 years, cases without or with clinical symp-toms before surgery, cases with tumor diameter of gastric GIST as<2 cm, 2?5 cm, 5?10 cm,>10 cm, cases with mitotic index as <5/50× high power field, 5?10/50× high power field, >10/50× high power field, cases with cell proliferation index of Ki-67 as ≤5% or >5%, cases classified as extremely low risk, low risk, medium risk and high risk of the modified national institutes of health (NIH) risk classification, cases with or without tumor necrosis of the gastric GIST, cases without or with adjuvant imatinib therapy, cases with the expression of DOG-1 detected by immunohistochemical staining as positive or negative, cases with the expression of CD34 as positive or negative were 92, 37, 30, 99, 9, 120, 114, 10, 3, 2, 126, 1, 2, 122, 2, 112, 8, 5, 4, 129, 0, 121, 8, 118, 3, 117, 12 in the combined group, versus 514, 520, 585, 449, 194, 840, 383, 360,201, 90, 799, 155, 80, 851, 143, 337, 308, 192, 197, 960, 74, 769, 265, 850, 80, 990, 44 in the non-combined group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=21.46, 51.11, 11.06, Z=?10.27, ?5.34, χ2=15.94, Z=?10.61, χ2=9.86, 24.10, 5.52, 6.37, P<0.05). Of the 1 163 patients, there were 12 cases of the combined group suspected diagnosed as gastric GIST before surgery and 1 case of the combined group dia-gnosed as gastric GIST by gastroscopy and pathological examination before surgery. The rest of 1 150 patients were diagnosed as gastric GIST by intraoperative exploration or postoperative pathological examination. (2) Surgical situations and postoperative complications. Of the 129 patients in the combined group, 72 cases underwent open surgery and 57 cases underwent laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery including 3 cases converted to open surgery. Of the 1 034 patients in the non-combined group,207 cases underwent endoscopic surgery, 371 cases underwent open surgery, and 456 cases underwent laparoscopic or thoracoscopic surgery including 8 cases converted to open surgery. Incidence of postoperative complications was 10.078%(13/129) in the combined group, versus 2.321%(24/1 034) in the non-combined group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=22.40, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up and survival of patients. Of the 1 163 patients, 1 046 cases were followed up for 44(range, 1?220)months, with the postoperative 5-year overall survival rate as 87.2%. The postoperative 5-year overall survival rate was 51.2% in the combined group, versus 91.4% in the non-combined group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=169.07, P<0.05). (4) Analysis of prognosis associated affecting factors. Results of univariate analysis showed that gender, age, tumor diameter of gastric GIST as 2?5 cm, 5?10 cm and >10 cm, combined with other digestive tract cancer, mitotic index as >10/50× high power field and tumor necrosis of the gastric GIST were related factors affecting the postoperative 5-year overall survival rate of patients with gastric GIST ( hazard ratio=2.16, 2.27, 0.46, 0.57, 1.75, 7.58, 2.70, 1.80, 95% confidence intervals as 1.52?3.07, 1.60?3.22, 0.29?0.71, 0.34?0.94, 1.11?2.77, 5.29?10.85, 1.67?4.38, 1.08?2.98, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that gender, age, tumor diameter of gastric GIST, combined with other digestive tract cancer and mitotic index were independent factors affecting the post-operative 5-year overall survival rate of patients with gastric GIST ( hazard ratio=1.91, 1.82, 2.10, 7.11, 2.75, 95% confidence intervals as 1.33?2.75, 1.27?2.62, 1.14?3.87, 4.58?11.04, 1.50?5.03, P<0.05). Conclusions:The tumor diameter of gastric GIST is short in patients combined with other digestive tract cancer, and the risk grade of modified NIH risk classification is lower. Gender, age, tumor diameter of gastric GIST, combined with other digestive tract cancer and mitotic index are independent factors affecting the postoperative 5-year overall survival rate of patients with gastric GIST.
