The patients in control group received routine medical and nursing intervention, and patients the research group adopted glioma bunched cognitive behavior intervention on the basis of routine medical and nursing intervention, including 4 intervention cycles.At enrollment, 2 weeks after intervention, and 4 weeks after intervention, all subjects were evaluated by the fear of progression questionnaire-short form (FoP-Q-SF), safety questionnaire (SQ), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). All the data in this study were processed by SPSS 26.0 statistical software.The scores of FoP-Q-SF, SQ, SAS and SDS before and after intervention were compared by repeated measures ANOVA between the two groups. Results:(1)The total FoP-Q-SF score, physiological health dimension scores, and social family dimension scores of the two groups showed significant interaction effects before and after intervention ( F=254.839, 52.738, 12.237, all P<0.05). Further simple effect analysis showed that after 2 and 4 weeks of intervention, the FoP-Q-SF scores of the research group (2 weeks after intervention: 33.80±4.94, 36.48±4.04; 4 weeks after intervention: 31.25±4.55, 35.94±4.47) and social family dimensions (2 weeks after intervention: 15.32±2.56 points, 17.06±2.14; 4 weeks after intervention: 14.05±2.59, 16.96±1.99) were lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The physiological health dimension score of the research group was lower than that of the control group after 4 weeks of intervention (4 weeks after intervention: 17.30±2.92, 19.06±2.38) ( P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the FoP-Q-SF score, physiological health dimension score, and social family dimension score of the research group were all lower than those at 2 weeks after intervention and before intervention (all P<0.05). (2)The total SQ score, interpersonal security dimension score and the determined control score of the two groups showed significant interaction effects before and after intervention( F=193.129, 54.706, 44.015, all P<0.05). Further simple effect testing showed that after 2 and 4 weeks of intervention, the total SQ score and interpersonal security score of the research group were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The determined control score of the research group was higher than that of the control group after 4 weeks of intervention ( P<0.05). After 2 and 4 weeks of intervention, the total SQ score, interpersonal security score, and determination control score of the research group were higher than before intervention (all P<0.05), and the total SQ score and interpersonal security score of the research group were higher than 2 weeks after intervention (both P<0.05). (3)The SAS score and SDS score of the two groups showed significant interaction effects before and after intervention( F=237.867, 282.882, both P<0.05). Further simple effect analysis showed that after 2 and 4 weeks intervention, the SAS and SDS scores of the research group were lower than those of the control group (all P<0.05). The SAS and SDS scores of the research group were lower after 2 weeks and 4 weeks intervention than before intervention (all P<0.05). The SAS and SDS scores of the research group at 4 weeks after intervention were lower than those at 2 weeks after intervention (both P<0.05). Conclusion:Bundled cognitive behavioral intervention can improve disease fear and negative emotions in patients with glioma, and enhance psychological security.

		                        			Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)combined with Western medication on lower-limb motor function and blood circulation in patients with cerebral infarction-induced hemiplegia in the acute stage. Methods:One hundred eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke accompanied by lower-limb motor dysfunction were allocated to an observation group and a control group using the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group.The control group received routine Western medications for treatment,and the observation group received additional EA intervention.After 2-week and 4-week treatments,the improvement of lower-limb motor function was assessed using the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale for lower extremity(FMA-LE),and changes in the peak blood flow velocities of the posterior tibial(PT)and dorsalis pedis(DP)arteries on the affected side were detected using Doppler. Results:Three cases dropped out during the study,so there were 48 cases in the observation group and 49 in the control group collected for statistical analysis.The FMA-LE score and the peak blood flow velocities of PT and DP arteries increased after 2-week and 4-week treatments in both groups compared with the pre-treatment baseline(P<0.05).After 2-week treatments,the FMA-LE score and the peak blood flow velocities of PT and DP arteries showed no significant differences between the two groups(P>0.05).After 4-week treatments,compared with the control group,the FMA-LE score was higher(P<0.05),and the peak blood flow velocities of PT and DP arteries on the affected side were larger in the observation group(P<0.05). Conclusion:EA combined with Western medication can significantly improve the motor function and blood flow velocity of the affected lower limb in patients with acute cerebral infarction accompanied by hemiplegia.

		                        			Objective:To observe the effect of Gongyanping Capsule on genital tract infected by ureaplasma urealyticum and fertility of mice, and to explore its mechanism.Methods:One hundred female ICR mice were divided into normal control group, model control group, azithromycin group, the low and high-dose group of Gongyanping Capsule according to random number table method. Except for the normal control group, the other groups were infected with ureaplasma urealyticum to establish the reproductive tract inflammation model. The azithromycin group was given 40 mg/kg of azithromycin, the low and high-dose groups were given 50 and 100 mg/kg of Gongyanping Capsule respectively, the normal control group and model control group were given equal volume of normal saline, once a day, for 4 consecutive weeks. The fertility status of each group was recorded. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of the vaginal tissues of the mice in each group, and the content of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), IL-4, IL-12, TNF-α myeloperoxidase (MPO) and GSH-Px of the mice in each group were determined; RT-PCR and Western blot were used to determine the vagina level of mRNA and protein expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB.Results:Compared with the model control group, the birth time and the number of dead mice in the azithromycin group and the low and high dose groups of Gongyanping Capsule decreased ( P<0.05), and the number of born mice increased ( P<0.05). The level of MCP-1, MPO, IL-4, IL-12, TNF-α decreased ( P<0.05), the level of GSH-Px increased ( P<0.05), the expression of TLR4 mRNA (1.25±0.33, 2.97±0.92, 2.32±0.72 vs. 3.69±1.32), NF-κB mRNA (1.48±0.42, 2.91±0.99, 2.13±0.70 vs. 3.83±1.41) decreased ( P<0.05), the expression of TLR4 (0.63±0.13, 1.32 ± 0.34, 1.04 ± 0.33 vs. 1.63 ± 0.41), NF-κB (0.63 ± 0.14, 1.36 ± 0.32, 1.03 ± 0.30 vs. 1.94 ± 0.58) decreased ( P<0.05), and had a certain dose-dependence. Conclusion:Gongyanping Capsule has obvious therapeutic effect on genital tract mice infected by ureaplasma urealyticum, and can significantly improve the fertility of mice; the mechanism may be related to that Gongyanping Capsule could inhibit the vaginal TLR4/NF-κB pathway in mice.

		                        			Baylisascaris schroederi,a roundworm(ascaridoid)parasite specific to the bamboo-feeding giant panda(Ailuropoda melanoleuca),represents a leading cause of mortality in wild giant panda populations.Here,we present a 293-megabase chromosome-level genome assembly of B.schroederi to infer its biology,including host adaptations.Comparative genomics revealed an evolutionary trajectory accompanied by host-shift events in ascaridoid parasite lineages after host separations,suggesting their potential for transmission and rapid adaptation to new hosts.Genomic and anatomical lines of evidence,including expansion and positive selection of genes related to the cuticle and basal metabolisms,indicate that B.schroederi undergoes specific adaptations to survive in the sharp-edged bamboo-enriched gut of giant pandas by structurally increasing its cuticle thickness and efficiently utilizing host nutrients through gut parasitism.Additionally,we characterized the secretome of B.schroederi and predicted potential drug and vaccine targets for new control strategies.Overall,this genome resource provides new insights into the host adaptation of B.schroederi to the giant panda as well as the host-shift events in ascaridoid parasite lineages.Our findings on the unique biology of B.schroederi will also aid in the development of prevention and treatment measures to protect giant panda populations from roundworm parasitism.

		                        			 ObjectiveTo investigate the value of red blood cell distribution width-to-platelet ratio (RPR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting chronic hepatitis C (CHC)-related compensated liver cirrhosis by comparing serological markers between CHC patients and patients with compensated hepatitis C cirrhosis. MethodsThe patients with CHC in two townships of Fuyu County were screened for liver cirrhosis and liver cancer from September to December in 2019 and 2020, respectively. General information was collected; HCV RNA quantification, liver function, and routine blood test results were measured; liver transient elastography and abdominal ultrasound were performed at the same time. RPR, PLR, NLR, fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) were calculated. The Mann-Whiney U test was used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the optimal cut-off values of RPR and PLR. A multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors for CHC-related liver cirrhosis. The linear regression trend test was used to investigate the changing trend of RPR, PLR, FIB-4, and APRI in hepatitis C patients with different fibrosis stages. ResultsA total of 968 CHC patients were enrolled, among whom 123 (12.7%) were diagnosed with compensated liver cirrhosis (liver cirrhosis group). Compared with the CHC group, the liver cirrhosis group had a significant increase in RPR and a significant reduction in PLR (P<0.001).  The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age >60 years (odds ratio [OR]=1.79, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12-2.86, P=0.015), albumin <40 g/L (OR=1040, 95% CI: 3.47-31.18, P<0.001), RPR >0.081 (OR=3.83, 95% CI: 2.19-6.69, P<0.001), PLR <91.11 (OR=225, 95% CI: 1.31-3.89, P=0.004), FIB-4 >3.25 (OR=3.14, 95% CI: 1.74-5.67, P<0.001), and APRI >2 (OR=360, 95% CI: 110-11.78, P=0.035) were associated with the development of CHC-related compensated liver cirrhosis. With the aggravation of liver fibrosis, RPR, FIB-4, and APRI gradually increased and PLR gradually decreased (all P<0.001). ConclusionRPR and PLR are associated with the development and fibrosis progression of CHC-related compensated liver cirrhosis. Elderly patients with CHC (age >60 years) should be monitored for the changes in albumin and liver fibrosis indicators, and RPR and PLR should also be monitored regularly to identify liver cirrhosis in the early stage, give timely treatment, and reduce the incidence rate of liver cancer.

		                        			Objective To observe the effect of Huangqi granules combined with external treatment on the clinical therapeutic effects of typeⅡand Ⅲ stress injuries. Methods A total of 240 patients with typeⅡ andⅢ pressure injuries admitted to the Hengshui People's Hospital from January 2017 to March 2019 were enrolled. According to difference in therapeutic methods, the patients were divided into astragalus mongholicus granule group and routine treatment of Western medicine group, with 120 cases in each group. In both groups, the patients were given routine nursing treatment such as air cushion bed, regular body turn-over, nutrition support, health education, etc;in routine Western medicine treatment group, according to the principle of aseptic dressing change, the wounds were treated and covered with foam dressing; while in the astragalus mongholicus granule group, the routine nursing care and sterile dressing as above mentioned were also applied, additionally 3 bags of oral astragalus mongholicus granules mixed with boiled water each time, twice a day (equivalent to 10 g for each bag of Chinese herbal slices), 7 days as one course of treatment; at the same time, the wound was sterilized, debrided and washed with normal saline, and after drying, the rubber Shengji ointment for promoting growth of tissue was evenly spread on the wound and covered with foam dressing. In the two groups, the changes of pressure ulcer healing evaluation scale (PUSH) scores before treatment and 7, 14, 21 and 28 days after treatment, as well as the differences in wound healing time and clinical efficacy between the two groups after treatment were observed, and the recurrence rate was followed up for 10 weeks. Results Compared with routine Western medicine group, the Ⅱand Ⅲ wound healing times were significantly reduced in the astragalus mongholicus granule group [the days of wound healing for Ⅱ stress injury (days): 7.81±1.40 vs. 16.52±1.89, the days of wound healing for Ⅲ stress injury (days): 14.60±1.50 vs. 20.23±1.27, both P < 0.05]. With the prolongation of therapeutic time, the PUSH scores of two groups decreased gradually, there was no significant difference in the PUSH scores between the two groups before treatment and 7 days after treatment (both P > 0.05); after 14 days of treatment, the PUSH score of astragalus mongholicus granule group was significantly lower than that of the routine western medicine group (7.82±1.93 vs. 9.96±1.89), and lasted until 28 days (4.16±0.47 vs. 5.29±0.57), the differences being statistically significant (both P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the astragalus mongholicus granule group was significantly higher than that of the routine western medicine treatment group [99.41% (171/172) vs. 74.51% (114/153), P < 0.05], and the recurrence rate of the mongholicus granule group was obviously lower than the routine Western medicine treatment [3.60% (5/139) vs. 17.74% (11/62), P < 0.05]. Conclusion Oral astragalus mongholicus granules combined with myocreatic ointment external therapy can effectively shorten the healing time of type Ⅱand Ⅲ stress injury, improve the cure rate and reduce the recurrence rate.

		                        			Objective: To assess the role of the arterial based complexity (ABC) scoring system in predicting clinically relevant outcomes of minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (MIPN). Methods: A retrospective review of 161 renal cell carcinoma patients who under-went MIPN at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from June 2016 to January 2018 was performed. The ABC score, including grades 1, 2, 3S, and 3H, were based on the patients'enhanced preoperative abdominal CT images. The reproducibility of the ABC scoring system was evaluated, and the relationship between the ABC score and patients'pathological features, surgery-related variables, postoperative complications, and renal function was analyzed. Results: Patients in grades 1, 2, 3S, and 3H in this study ac-counted for 20.5% (33/161), 60.2% (97/161), 11.8% (19/161), and 7.5% (12/161), respectively. The average Kappa value of the physi-cian's score was 0.523, and the average exact match percentage was 70.2%. The ABC score was significantly associated with operative time, warm ischemia time (WIT), estimated blood loss (EBL), and tumor size (P<0.001 for all) and was not associated with postopera-tive hospital stay, postoperative complications, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and eGFR at 3 and 6 months postoperatively (P>0.05 for both). Conclusions: The ABC score is a scoring system with good repeatability and has certain predictive significance for the complexity of MIPN. However, further research is needed for its clinical application.
