Objective:To analyze the histopathological characteristics of peri-implant soft tissue in re-constructed jaws and the changes after keratinized mucosa augmentation(KM A)with free gingival graft(FGG).Methods:Twenty patients were enrolled in this study.Five patients of them,who were perio-dontal and systemic healthy and referred for crown lengthening before restoration with healthy keratinized gingiva collected were enrolled as healthy controls.15 patients of them were with fibula or iliac bone flaps jaw reconstruction(10 with fibula flap and 5 with iliac flap),who were referred to FGG and implant exposures before restoration.Soft tissue was collected before FGG in reconstructed jaws,and in 5 patients(3 with fibula flap and 2 with iliac flap)8 weeks after FGG if a second surgery was conducted.Histologi-cal analysis with hematoxylin-eosin stain and immunological analysis to interlukin-1(IL-1),interlukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were performed.Results:Thickness from the bottom of stratum basale to the top of stratum granulosum and thickness of keratinized layer in reconstructed jaws were significantly lower compared with that of natural healthy keratinized gingiva[0.27(0.20,0.30)mmvs.0.36(0.35,0.47)mm,P＜0.05;16.49(14.90,23.37)μm vs.26.37(24.12,31.53)μm,P＜0.05].In the reconstructed area,thickness from the bottom of stratum basale to the top of stra-tum granulosum increased after KMA with FGG[0.19(0.16,0.25)mm vs.0.38(0.25,0.39)mm,P=0.059]and the thickness of keratinized layer significantly increased after KMA with FGG[16.42(14.16,22.35)μm vs.28.57(27.16,29.14)μm,P＜0.05],which was similar to that in the con-trol group.Furthermore,the number of positive cells of IL-1,IL-6 and TNF-α significantly increased after KMA[0.67(0.17,8.93)vs.11.00(9.16,18.00);13.00(8.50,14.14)vs.21.89(15.00,28.12);0.22(0.04,0.63)vs.2.83(1.68,5.00),respectively,P＜0.05]as well as the average optical density value[0.15(0.14,0.17)vs.0.18(0.17,0.21);0.28(0.26,0.33)vs.0.36(0.33,0.37);0.23(0.22,0.29)vs.0.30(0.28,0.42),respectively,P＜0.05],which was similar to that in the healthy keratinized gingiva.Conclusion:The lack of rete pegs and inflammato-ry factors were common in soft tissue with jaw reconstruction.FGG can improve the quality of the epithe-lium and may improve the stability of the mucosa around implants.

Objective:The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of 18 cases of Japanese spotted fever (JSF) in Zigui County were analyzed in order to improve the prevention and treatment of JSF.Methods:This is a case series analysis. The epidemiological and clinical data, laboratory tests and imaging characteristics of 18 JSF cases with median age of 60 years (54, 68) identified by The People′s Hospital of Zigui from April 2021 to August 2022 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.Results:Most (17/18) of the patients were farmers and all had a field exposure history. The patient′s onset was from April to October. Spring and autumn were the seasons with the highest incidence of JSF. The first symptoms of patients were high fever, headache, and fatigue. Of the 18 cases, 15 had a rash and 12 presented an eschar and 3 had neither rash nor eschar. In addition, 10 of 18 cases experienced edema of both lower extremities, and 3 got disturbance of consciousness. Laboratory tests found that 15 patients had abnormal white blood cells and 11 patients had decreased platelets. C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, D-dimer, lactate dehydrogenase, and alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase were elevated in all patients; 13 patients with elevated alanine aminotransferase, 14 patients with elevated aspartate transamination. Kidney damage caused by Rickettsia japonica infection showed by abnormal proteinuria in 11 of the patients. Conclusions:The most common clinical manifestations of JSF are non-specific indications such as high fever, chills, fatigue, headache. The eschar and rash, which are the main features of Rickettsia infection, are not present in all patients, resulting delay of diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Medical workers should be more alert to rickettsial infections in patients with fever of unknown origin, especially in seasons of high incidence of spotted fever. Early diagnosis and correct antibiotic treatment shall be given according to the patient′s clinical manifestations, laboratory results and imaging test to control disease progression.

Ossifying fibroma (OF) and fibrous dysplasia (FD) are two fibro-osseous lesions with overlapping clinicopathological features, making diagnosis challenging. In this study, we applied a whole-genome shallow sequencing approach to facilitate differential diagnosis via precise profiling of copy number alterations (CNAs) using minute amounts of DNA extracted from morphologically correlated microdissected tissue samples. Freshly frozen tissue specimens from OF (n = 29) and FD (n = 28) patients were obtained for analysis. Lesion fibrous tissues and surrounding normal tissues were obtained by laser capture microdissection (LCM), with ~30-50 cells (5 000-10 000 µm

Objective:To formulate the continuous nursing index for patients with Parkinson's disease using the structure-process-results three-dimensional quality evaluation model and evaluate its application effects.Methods:The patients with Parkinson's disease hospitalized in a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Nanjing were selected by cluster sampling from April 2018 to June 2019. The patients were divided into the experimental group (continuous nursing based on the three-dimensional quality evaluation model) , the conventional continuous nursing group and the conventional nursing group with 50 patients in each group according to the random number table and remainder grouping. The Parkinson's Disease Sleepiness Scale (PDSS) , Self-Anxiety Scale (SAS) , Self-Depression Scale (SDS) , Parkinson's Disease-Nonmotor Scale Scores (PD-NMS) and 39-item Parkinson's Disease Quality of Life (PDQ-39) scores were compared between the tree groups.Results:The PDSS score of the experimental group was higher than those of the conventional continuous nursing group and the conventional nursing group, while the SDS, PD-NMS and PDQ-39 scores were lower than those of the conventional continuous nursing group and the conventional nursing group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:Continuous nursing based on the three-dimensional quality evaluation model can improve patients' sleep, nonmotor symptoms, ameliorate their depression, and ultimately achieve the purpose of improving their quality of life.

Objective: Using three models too estimate excess mortality associated with influenza of Shanxi Province during 2013-2017. Methods: Mortality data and influenza surveillance data of 11 cities of Shanxi Province from the 2013-2014 through 2016-2017 were used to estimate influenza-associated all cause deaths, circulatory and respiratory deaths and respiratory deaths. Three models were used: (i) Serfling regression, (ii)Poisson regression, (iii)General line model. Results: The total reported death cases of all cause were 157 733, annual death cases of all cause were 39 433, among these cases, male cases 93 831 (59.50%), cases above 65 years old 123 931 (78.57%). Annual influenza-associated excess mortality, for all causes, circulatory and respiratory deaths, respiratory deaths were 8.62 deaths per 100 000, 6.33 deaths per 100 000 and 0.68 deaths per 100 000 estimated by Serfling model, respectively; and 21.30 deaths per 100 000, 16.89 deaths per 100 000 and 2.14 deaths per 100 000 estimated by General line model, respectively; and 21.76 deaths per 100 000, 17.03 deaths per 100 000 and 2.05 deaths per 100 000, estimated by Poisson model, respectively.

Objective To investigate the status of mental health and related factors in cervical cancer patients received radiotherapy and chemotherapy,and to implement individualized nursing intervention.Methods 60 cervical cancer patients with radiation and chemotherapy were enrolled in this study.The depression self rating scale(SDS),anxiety self-assessment scale(SAS) were evaluated,and the influence factors of self-designed questionnaires were investigated.During the same period,60 healthy women of 4 regions in Shantou were selected as control group.The SDS and SAS were compared in two groups.And combined with the influencing factors of the investigation group after the implementation of nursing intervention 7 d psychological assessment again.Results Cervical cancer patients with radiotherapy and chemotherapy,the SDS and SAS scores were (56.1±7.7)points,(45.2±7.5)points,which were significantly higher than those of healthy women [(45.0±6.3)points,(39.2±6.5)points,t=8.142,4.588,all P<0.01].After 7 days of nursing intervention,the SDS and SAS scores in cervical cancer patients decreased significantly[SDS(49.5±6.8)points,SAS(42.7±6.2)points,P<0.05],and the influence factors of patients' mental health were worry about the hospitalization expenses,do not understand the disease related knowledge,fear,the influence of family and society,and worry about the side effects of treatment on the prognosis of disease(88%,80%,80%,75%,68.3%,65%).Conclusion Cervical cancer patients received radiotherapy and chemotherapy have poor mental health status,in the treatment of diseases at the same time,the nursing staff should give psychological counseling and support,improve the patients' anxiety and depression,promote rehabilitation.

Objective To explore the effects of three-subject double-track interactive nursing intervention model on self-management and liver function in patients with cirrhosis.Methods A total of 120 cirrhosis patients who were discharged from Nanxishan hospital from January 2015 to June 2016 were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,60 patients respectively. Patients in control group received routine double-track nursing interventions,while patients in observation group were treated with additional three-subject double-track interactive nursing intervention mode. The self-management ability and liver function of patients were compared between two groups before and after intervention.Results There was no significant difference in self-management ability between two groups before the intervention. The score of self-management ability of patients in observation group was significantly higher than that of control group after the intervention (P<0.05). Before the intervention, no differences were observed in TBIL,ALT,ALB,A/G values between two groups. However,TBIL,ALT,ALB,A/G values of patients in observation were better than those of control group after the intervention,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions Three-subject double-track interactive nursing intervention model effectively improves the self-management ability and facilitates the recovery of liver function of patients with cirrhosis.

Objective To explore the effects of gratitude intervention on the hope level and self-efficacy of patients with compensatory phase cirrhosis.Methods Totally 120 patients with compensatory phase cirrhosis were equally divided into observation group and control group by random number table. Patients in the control group received conventional health education and rehabilitation instruction, while patients in the observation group was emotionally intervened with gratitude record, gratitude reflection and gratitude expression for 4 weeks on this basis. Then their hope level and self-efficacy before and after the intervention was evaluated with Herth Hope Index (HHI) and Chronic Disease Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES).Results After the intervention, the scores of the patients in the observation group for HHI, positive attitude to the reality and future, taking positive attitudes and acts and maintaining close ties with others were (37.33±6.37), (12.04±2.62), (13.14±2.35) and (12.15±2.32), respectively, all higher than the figures of the patients in the control group (t=8.773, 7.034, 7.725, 7.858;P<0.05); The self-efficacy score of the patients in the observation group after the intervention was (46.84±6.53), higher than that of the patients in the control group (t=8.741,P<0.05), which was (37.51±5.42).Conclusions Gratitude intervention, which is applied in the patients with compensatory phase cirrhosis in the treatment process, can improve their hope level and self-efficacy effectively.
