OBJECTIVE To establish the characteristic chromatogram of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction, and preliminarily infer the main active components of volatile oil that affect the clinical therapeutic effect. METHODS The volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction was extracted by steam distillation. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) characteristic chromatograms of 15 batches of samples were established by the Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 edition), and the similarity evaluation was carried out. The volatile oil of standard decoction was identified by UPLC coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Then the volatile oil components were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS The similarities of UPLC characteristic chromatograms for volatile oil of 15 batches of Qingshang juantong decoction were between 0.949 and 0.997. A total of 12 common peaks were obtained. According to the UPLC-Q-TOF/MS, the main components were methyl eugenol, E-ligustilide, E-butylidenephthalide and so on. A total of 23 components were identified by GC-MS, which were mainly 3,4,5-trimethoxy- methylbenzene, patchouli alcohol, Z-ligustilide and so on. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic chromatograms of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction is established, and it is inferred that methyl eugenol, ligustilide, E- butylidenephthalide, patchouli alcohol, 3,4,5-trimethoxy-methylbenzene might be the main active components affecting the clinical therapeutic effect of the volatile oil of Qingshang juantong decoction.

【Objective】 To explore the effect of intraoperative cell salvage on allogeneic blood transfusion requirements, coagulation function and electrolytes in postpartum hemorrhage patients. 【Methods】 A study on postpartum hemorrhage patients undergoing cesarean section in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University form September 2016 to May 2022 was conducted retrospectively. A total of 137 patients were enrolled and divided into experimental group (n=70) and control group (n=67) according to whether intraoperative cell salvage was used during operation. The blood loss, proportion and volume of allogeneic red blood cells (RBCs) and coagulation component transfusion, hemoglobin (Hb) level, coagulation function, electrolyte, the incidence of complications, proportion of ICU admission, ICU stay and in-hospital stay were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The proportion of patients receiving allogeneic RBCs in the experimental group and in the control group was 31.4% vs 100.0% (P<0.05). The experimental group also had lower use of plasma (31.4% vs 53.7%, P<0.05). The postoperative 24 h of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and prothrombin time (PT) in the two groups was longer than preoperative, and APTT in the control group did not recover at discharge (P<0.05). Fibrinogen (Fib) decreased postoperative 24 h in the two groups (P<0.05). The blood calcium in the two groups decreased 30 minutes after operation, but the decrease in the experimental group was slight, and two groups did not recover 24 h after operation (P<0.05). There was no statically significant difference in blood loss, volume of allogeneic RBCs and coagulation component transfusion, Hb level, incidence of complications, the proportion of ICU admission, ICU stay and in-hospital stay (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 This study demonstrated that intraoperative cell salvage could reduce the requirement for allogeneic RBCs without compromising coagulation function in postpartum hemorrhage patients undergoing cesarean section, but the changes of calcium need to be concerned after transfusion.

Purpose:
Anxiety, depression, and poor quality of life (QOL) were considered important concerns that hindered the rehabilitation of breast cancer survivors. A number of studies have investigated the effects of physical activity, but they have not reached the same conclusions. This review aimed to identify the effects of physical activity on QOL, anxiety, and depression in breast cancer survivors.
Methods:
PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, SinoMed, CNKI, Vip, and WanFang databases were searched for the time period between January 1, 2012, and April 30, 2022. Studies were included if they were randomized controlled trials of the effects of physical activity on QOL, anxiety, or depression in breast cancer survivors. The tools of the Joanna Briggs Institute were used to assess the quality of the included studies. R software version 4.3.1 was used for meta-analysis.
Results:
A total of 26 studies, involving 2105 participants, were included in the systematic review. Among these, 20 studies involving 1228 participants were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with the control group, the results indicated that physical activity can significantly improve QOL(Hedges' g = 0.67; 95% CI 0.41–0.92) and reduce anxiety (Hedges' g = −0.28; 95% CI −0.46 to −0.10) in breast cancer survivors. However, the effect of physical activity on depression (Hedges' g = −0.46; 95% CI −0.99 to 0.06) was not statistically significant.
Conclusions
Physical activity was an effective intervention to improve QOL and reduce anxiety in breast cancer survivors, as well as showed positive trends in depression, although without statistical significance. More well-designed studies are required to clarify the effects of different types of physical activities on the QOL, anxiety, and depression among breast cancer survivors.

Objective:To study the risk factors of axillary lymph node metastasis by analyzing the acoustic image characteristics of the automated breast volume scanner (ABVS) of breast cancer masses.Methods:The imaging features of ABVS of 212 patients with breast cancer, unilaterally and singly, confirmed by pathological examination admitted in Hangzhou First People’s Hospital from Jan. 2016 to Dec. 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 83 cases with axillary lymph node metastasis (metastatic group) and 129 cases without (non-metastatic group) . The correlation of clinical and the imaging features of ABVS with axillary lymph node metastasis was analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression. ROC curve was used to analyze the cut-off value of the maximum diameter of the mass in predicting the breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of each risk factor were analyzed for predicting breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis.Results:The retraction phenomenon and micro-calcification of breast cancer in the metastatic group (60.2%, 65.1%) were higher than those in the non-metastatic group (43.4%,37.2%) ( P=0.017 vs P<0.001) . The maximum diameter of the breast cancer in the metastatic group was bigger than in the non-metastatic group ( Z=2.18, P=0.029) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the micro-calcification of breast cancer ( OR=2.522, P=0.003) was an independent predictor of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer. The area under the curves and the cut-off value of the maximum diameter of the mass in predicting the breast cancer axillary lymph node metastasis were 0.589 and 2.85 cm. The sensitivity was 34.9%, the specificity was 82.9%, the positive predictive value was 56.9%, and the negative predictive value was 66.5%. The sensitivities of micro-calcification and retraction phenomenon to predict the occurrence of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients were 65.1% and 60.2%, specificities were 62.8% and 56.6%, positive predictive values were 52.9% and 47.2%, and negative predictive values were 73.6% and 68.9%. Conclusion:The study suggests that the maximum diameter, micro-calcification, and retraction phenomenon of masses are associated with the occurrence of the axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of nurses' presenteeism behavior between job alienation and job burnout.Methods:From May 2019 to October 2021, a total of 506 nurses working in the Nursing Department of Jiaozuo People's Hospital were selected as the research objects by the convenient sampling method. General information questionnaire, Presenteeism Behavior Scale, Job Alienation Scale and Job Burnout Scale were used to investigate the nurses. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between presenteeism behavior and job burnout and job alienation, and Bootstrap test was used to explore the mediating effect. A total of 506 questionnaires were distributed and 506 were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 100.00%.Results:The total scores of job burnout, job alienation and presenteeism among 506 nurses were (63.43±8.03) , (34.16±5.55) and (6.32±1.56) , respectively. Pearson analysis showed that presenteeism was positively correlated with job alienation and job burnout ( P<0.01) . Using the Bootstrap sampling test method to conduct a mediating effect study, 95% confidence interval for the path analysis from burnout to presenteeism to job alienation did not include the number 0, and nurses' presenteeism behavior played a mediating role between job alienation and job burnout. Conclusions:Nurses have high presenteeism behavior, which plays a mediating role between job burnout and job alienation. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of nurse presenteeism behavior and promote physical and mental health.

Objective:To investigate the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome types and related factors of constipation in psychiatric inpatients, and to provide data support for targeted TCM nursing.Methods:A total of 245 psychiatric inpatients with constipation in the Seventh People's Hospital of Hangzhou were selected by convenient sampling. The survey was conducted using general information questionnaire and TCM constipation syndrome classification criteria.Results:245 questionnaires were distributed and 238 valid questionnaires were recovered. Among 238 patients with constipation, the proportion of excessive constipation was the highest, accounting for 61.34% (146/238) , which was the main type of constipation. There were statistically significant differences in age, course of disease, diagnosis, exercise preference and duration of medication between the excessive constipation type and deficiency constipation type ( P< 0.01) . Logistic regression showed that the main factors affecting the type of constipation were the type of disease, the course of the disease, the duration of medication, and the intensity of activity ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The incidence of excessive syndrome in hospitalized patients with mental disorders is relatively higher in young adults with short course of disease, short medication time, bipolar disorder mania and high activity intensity. Medical staff should understand the status and influencing factors of constipation classification of patients and carry out dialectical nursing for them, so as to provide basis for taking targeted measures.

Objective To investigate the correlation between interleukin-6 (IL-6) and future liver remnant (FLR) growth after associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS).Methods The retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 15 patients who underwent ALPPS at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between March 2017 and May 2018 were collected.Observation indicators:(1) intraoperative situations in the first staged ALPPS and the second staged ALPPS;(2) postoperative situations:① postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay,② results of pathological examination;(3) IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood before and after operation;(4)follow-up situations.Follow-up using outpatient examination,telephone interview and internet was performed to detect life quality and survival of patients.Imaging examination was done to detect tumor recurrence and metastasis.Follow-up was done up to May 2018.Measurement data with normal distribution or similar normal distribution were represented as (x)±s.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Repeated measures data were analyzed by the repeated measures ANOVA.Correlation comparison was done using Pearson bivariate correlation test.Results (1) Intraoperative situations.① The first staged ALPPS:15 patients had liver parenchymal transection via anterior approach combined with selective hepatic vascular exclusion,without allogenic blood transfusion.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,FLR at postoperative 16 days,interval time to the second staged ALPPS,growth rate of liver volume,ratio of FLR and standard liver volume (SLV) were respectively 324 minutes (range,240-387 minutes),356 mL (range,200-600 mL),(582± 134) cm3,24 days (range,9-34 days),35%±20% and 53%±7%.② The second staged ALPPS:of 15 patients,13 underwent the second staged ALPPS successfully including 11 undergoing middle hepatic vein preserved right hepatectomy and 2 undergoing expanded right hemihepatectomy or right trisegmentectomy,1 underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) due to FLR/SLV =31%,1 was detected yellow-white nodules at left lobe and confirmed as hepatocellular carcinoma by frozen section pathological examination,and then improved and discharged after 5-FU abdominal local chemotherapy combined with postoperative TACE.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss of 13 patients undergoing the second staged ALPPS were 324 minutes (range,140-515 minutes) and 639 mL(range,100-1 400 mL).Two patients had blood transfusion including 1 with 800 mL of fresh frozen plasma and 4.0 U of red cells and 1 with 600 mL of plasma and 9.5 U of de-leucocytes and red cells.(2) Postoperative situations.① Postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay:15 patients had no perioperative death,9 and 6 were detected grade A and grade B liver failure respectively,15 had grade Ⅰ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification and no patient had grade Ⅱ and above complications,10 had pleural effusion including 1 with volume of effusion >500 mL.Of 13 patients undergoing the second staged ALPPS,4 and 9 were detected grade A and grade B liver failure respectively,8 and 5 had grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ complications of Clavien-Dindo classification and no patient had grade Ⅲ and above complications,11 had few pleural effusion with volume of effusion <500 mL.Patients with grade B liver failure and grade Ⅱ complications were recovered and discharged after treatments of liver protection,gastric protection,reinforced dressing change,continuous use of Alb,fresh frozen plasma transfusion.The patient with volume of pleural effusion > 500 mL was improved after closed thoracic drainage and other patients with pleural effusion were improved after symptomatic and supportive treatment.Duration of total hospital stay was 31 days (range,22-49 days) in 15 patients.② Results of pathological examination:13 patients undergoing complete ALPPS were diagnosed as hepaticocellular carcinoma with R0 resection and without cancer cells involving surgical margin,including 7 with grade Ⅱ portal vein tumor thrombus.Ishak score for postoperative pathological fibrosis and liver cirrhosis was 7.7±1.4 in 15 patients,including 1 case of 5,1 case of 6,2 case of 7,6 case of 8,5 case of 9.(3) IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood before and after operation:IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood before surgery was (8±3)ng/L in 15 patients,and (207±150)ng/L,(104±65)ng/L,(45±38)ng/L,(26±9)ng/L,(18±10)ng/L at 1,3,5,7,10 days after the first staged ALPPS,showing a statistically significant difference in changing trend before and after surgery (F=25.877,P<0.05) and statistically significant differences in paired comparison between 1,3,5,7,10 days after the first staged ALPPS and before surgery respectively (P<0.05).There was correlation between IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood at 1,3 days after the first staged ALPPS and growth of FLR (r=0.766,0.881,P<0.05),and also between IL-6 concentration in the peripheral blood at 1,3 days after the first staged ALPPS and growth rate of FLR (r =0.810,0.879,P< 0.05).(4) Follow-up:15 patients were followed up for 1-14 months with a median time of 7 months.Of the 15 patients,1 without the second staged ALPPS died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome at 7 months after the first staged ALPPS,14 survived and took care of theirselves in daily life during follow-up with improved life quality,including 1 detected multiple lung metastases at 12 months after complete ALPPS with mild increased AFP and 13 undetected new lesions in the remnant liver on contrast-enhanced CT and liver contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with normal AFP.Conclusion The peak of IL-6 concentration in peripheral blood at 1,3 days after the first staged ALPPS is significantly correlated with the hyperplasia of FLR,which may be used to predict the hyperplasia of FLR.
