This article combined the pathogenic characteristics of "latent wind" with the theory of collateral diseases to clarify the pathological features of tumor blood vessels, including their active proliferation, high permeabi-lity, and promotion of metastasis. The theory framework of "latent wind in collaterals" as the tumor mechanism was proposed, which suggests that at the site of tumor lesions, the collaterals inherit the nature of latent wind to grow excessively, adopt an open and discharge nature to leak essence, and tumor toxins, characterized by their rapid movement and frequent changes, spread and metastasize, driving the progression of malignant tumors. Focusing on the fundamental pathogenesis of "latent wind in collaterals", specific clinical treatment principles and methods centered on treating wind are proposed, including regulating qi and dispelling wind, clearing heat and extinguishing wind, unblocking collaterals and expelling wind, and reinforcing healthy qi to calm wind, so as to provide references for enhancing the precision of traditional Chinese medicine in treating malignant tumors.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of internal fixation using cannulated screw combined with fibular allograft and internal fixation using cannulated screw alone in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 75 young and middle-aged patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to the Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2020 to December 2022, including 44 males and 31 females, aged 34-56 years [(46.1±12.7)years]. According to Garden classification, 26 patients were classified as type II, 35 type III and 14 type IV. According to the Pauwels classification, 9 patients were classified as type I, 31 type II and 35 type III. Forty-nine patients were treated with internal fixation using three cannulated screws alone (cannulated screw group) and 26 with internal fixation using three cannulated screws combined with double-barrel fibular allograft (cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, and quality of fracture reduction were compared between the two groups. At 4, 8 months after operation and at the last follow-up, grading of femoral neck shortening, number of patients walking with crutches, Barthel index, and Harris hip function score were evaluated. The incidence of complications was measured at the last follow-up.Results:All the patients were followed up for 16-37 months [(23.2±4.5)months]. The operation time of the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group was (86.3±16.1)minutes, longer than (76.9±20.8)minutes of the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss was 100.0(50.0, 200.0)ml in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group, more than 50.0(50.0, 100.0)ml in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the length of hospital stay or the quality of fracture reduction between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 4 months after operation, grading of the femoral neck shortening in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group [24 patients (92.3%) with grade 1, 2(7.7%) with grade 2, and 0(0.0%) with grade 3] was better than that in the cannulated screw group [18 patients (36.7%) with grade 1, 28(57.1%) with grade 2, and 3(6.2%) with grade 3] ( P<0.01). At 8 months after operation, grading of femoral neck shortening in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group [22 patients (84.6%) with grade 1, 3(11.5%) with grade 2, and 1(3.8%) with grade 3] was better than that in the cannulated screw group [13 patients (26.5%) with grade 1, 27(55.1%) with grade 2, and 9(18.4%) with grade 3] ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, grading of femoral neck shortening in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group [19 patients (73.0%) with grade 1, 5(19.2%) with grade 2, and 2(7.6%) with grade 3] was better than that in the cannulated screw group [8 patients (16.3%) with grade 1, 31(63.2%) with grade 2, and 10(20.4%) with grade 3] ( P<0.01). At 4, 8 months after operation and at the last follow-up, 12(46.2%), 8(30.8%) and 5(19.2%) patients in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group and 38(77.6%), 27(55.1%) and 20(40.8%) patients in the cannulated screw group had to walk with crutches, respectively, showing significant difference between the two groups at the other two time points ( P<0.05 or 0.01) except for at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The Barthel index values were 85.3±3.2, 90.3±4.3, and 95.3±3.9 in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group at 4, 8 months after operation and at the last follow-up, significantly higher than 80.8±7.3, 85.4±7.4, and 90.9±7.8 in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). The Harris hip scores were (87.0±2.9)points, (92.0±2.9)points and (91.3±2.4)points in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group at 4, 8 months after operation and at the last follow-up, significantly higher than (81.0±6.1)points, (85.7±5.8)points, and (89.6±2.0)points in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.01). At the last follow-up, the complication rate was 3.8%(1/26) in the cannulated screw combined with bone grafting group, significantly lower than 22.4%(11/49) in the cannulated screw group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:For femoral neck fractures in young and middle-aged patients, compared with internal fixation using cannulated screw alone, internal fixation using cannulated screw combined with fibular allograft has more advantages in correcting femoral neck shortening, restoring independent living activities and hip joint function, and reducing the incidence of complications despite its longer operation time and more intraoperative blood loss.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of expected sadness of family caregivers of first stroke patients and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the formulation of psychological decompression intervention program for family caregivers of stroke patients.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to conduct cross-sectional survey of 212 family caregivers of first stroke patients who were hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from March 2020 to May 2021, using general information questionnaires and Anticipatory Grief Scale and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale to investigate and anlalyzed its influencing factors.Results:The scare of anticipatory grief of the caregivers of first stroke patients was 87.93 ± 17.36. The results of multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the age of family caregivers, psychological elasticity, the degree of relationship with patients, patients′ cognitive ability and self-care ability were the influencing factors of anticipatory grief of family caregivers of first stroke patients ( t values were -6.73 -11.77, P <0.05). Conclusions:The caregivers of first stroke patients have serious anticipatory grief. Staff should pay attention to the psychological conditions of the family caregivers and take effective measures to promote their physical and mental health.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of disposable disinfection cap in preventing catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs).Methods:Literature on the prevention of CRBSIs by disposable disinfection caps were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science databases. The retrieval period was from the database construction to June 30, 2022. After literature screening, data extraction and quality evaluation were independently carried out by 2 researchers, RevMan5.4 software was used for analysis.Results:A total of 12 articles were included, including 9 832 patients. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with conventional manual disinfection, disposable disinfection cap could reduce the incidence of CRBSIs, and the difference was statistically significant ( RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.43-0.79, P<0.01). Disposable disinfection cap could reduce the incidence of CRBSIs in adults, but there was no significant difference in the incidence of CRBSIs in children ( P>0.05). It could reduce the incidence of CRBSIs in patients with indwelling vascular catheters in ICU ( RR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.38-0.89, P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the incidence of CRBSIs in patients without indwelling vascular catheters in ICU ( P>0.05). In addition, the compliance of the use of disinfection caps by nursing staff was improved by 80% - 90% and the treatment cost was saved by about 282 - 464 dollars. Conclusions:Disposable disinfection caps can reduce the occurrence of CRBSIs, improve the disinfection compliance of nursing staff, and save the hospitalization cost of patients. It is suggested to be popularized in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of combined spinal-epidural anesthesia (CSEA) on postoperative pain and short-term cognitive function in elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.Methods:A total of 60 elderly patients undergoing hip fracture surgery in Dongchangfu District of Liaocheng People′s Hospital from October 2018 to September 2020 were selected as subjects and they were divided into the control group and the observation group by performed different anaesthesias methods, with 30 patients in each group. The control group underwent total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA), and the observation group underwent CSEA. The scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) at different points and the analgesic recovery rate within 48 h of the two groups were compared, and mini mental state evaluation (MMSE) scores of two groups at different points were evaluated. The levels of serum interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) of the two groups before the surgery and on the 1 d after the surgery were compared, and adverse events after the surgery were observed.Results:The analgesic recovery rate within 48 h in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: 3.33%(1/30) vs. 26.67%(8/30), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 = 6.40, P<0.05). The VAS scores at 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 h after the surgery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The scores of MMSE at 1 and 3 d after the surgery in the observation group were higher than those in the control group: (25.38 ± 2.86) scores vs. (22.17 ± 2.72) scores, (26.89 ± 3.04) scores vs. (25.17 ± 2.69) scores, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). At 1 d after the surgery, the levels of IL-6, TNF-α in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (67.59 ± 15.47) ng/L vs. (86.75 ± 17.88) ng/L, (18.75 ± 4.23) ng/L vs. (22.81 ± 4.30) ng/L; and the level of IL-10 was higher than that in the control group: (39.78 ± 8.31) ng/L vs. (34.76 ± 7.54) ng/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the total incidence of postoperative adverse events between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:CSEA can effectively relieve postoperative pain, improve short-term cognitive function, reduce inflammatory response in elderly patients with hip fracture surgery, and with great safety.

ObjectiveBased on a demand survey, to put forward the idea of family doctor service health service packages for people in functional communities, and provide suggestions for the implementation of family doctor health service in such communities. MethodsThrough the stratified cluster sampling survey of a science and innovation bearing functional community, combined with literature research, current situation survey, case analysis and interviews, this paper proposes the service content of the service packages. ResultsOn the basis of demand survey, the mode of "specified action + optional action" should be adopted. Community health service center should first provide basic service, and then expand their services in diagnosis, treatment, and health management in line with local demand, and provide optional multi-level health service packages for scientific and innovative functional community residents, which should be divided into basic health service, value-added health service and high-end health service. ConclusionSorting out the content of health service packages of family doctor service in functional communities can provide the basis for further improving the allocation of medical service resources, further optimizing the design of the financing and compensation mechanism, and further standardizing the contract service of family doctors.

The National Medical Products Administration has authorized sodium oligomannate for treating mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.In this study,an LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated to quantitate sodium oligomannate in different biomatrices.The plasma pharmacokinetics,tissue distri-bution,and excretion of sodium oligomannate in Sprague-Dawley rats and beagle dogs were system-atically investigated.Despite its complicated structural composition,the absorption,distribution,metabolism,and excretion profiles of the oligosaccharides in sodium oligomannate of different sizes and terminal derivatives were indiscriminate.Sodium oligomannate mainly crossed the gastrointestinal epithelium through paracellular transport following oral administration,with very low oral bioavail-ability in rats(0.6%-1.6%)and dogs(4.5%-9.3%).Absorbed sodium oligomannate mainly resided in circulating body fluids in free form with minimal distribution into erythrocytes and major tissues.So-dium oligomannate could penetrate the blood-cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)barrier of rats,showing a con-stant area under the concentration-time curve ratio(CSF/plasma)of approximately 5%.The cumulative urinary excretion of sodium oligomannate was commensurate with its oral bioavailability,supporting that excretion was predominantly renal,whereas no obvious biliary secretion was observed following a single oral dose to bile duct-cannulated rats.Moreover,only 33.7%(male)and 26.3%(female)of the oral dose were recovered in the rat excreta within 96 h following a single oral administration,suggesting that the intestinal flora may have ingested a portion of unabsorbed sodium oligomannate as a nutrient.

Objective:To understand changes in psychological resilience of nurses rushing to ICU in Wuhan under COVID-19 epidemics, and provide a theoretical basis for the psychological adjustment and psychological intervention of nurses in public health emergencies.Methods:Using phenomenological research method, the first batch of nurses from Nursing Department of Taizhou People's Hospital to assist Wuhan medical team in February 2020 were selected as the research objects based on Richardson psychological resilience model by the purposive sampling method. The diaries of 9 nurses who assisted Wuhan ICU were used as the original data, and the data collection time was based on the principle of data saturation. The data reached saturation after 18 days of rushing to Wuhan. A total of 9 nurses all completed the diary writing, with a total of approximately 28 452 words. The Colaizzi method was used to analyze the data and extract the topic.Results:A total of 3 first-level themes and 8 second-level themes were extracted, namely the stress period (intrusive thoughts, physical challenges, psychological distress) , buffer zone (psychological capital mobilization, team resilience stimulation, comprehension of social support) and restructuring period (balance restoration, self-transcendence) .Conclusions:Psychological resilience is not a constant psychological feature, but a constantly changing process in the game of destruction and reorganization. The psychological resilience of nurses rushing to ICU in Wuhan is in a dynamic process of stress-buffer zone-reorganization period, while enhancing team resilience and external support is conducive to the healthy development of the balance of psychological resilience of nurses who rushed to wuhan.

Objective To explore the relationship between the stimulated thyroglobulin ( sTg) and site, number and diameter of metastatic lesions in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) before the first 131 I treatment, and to evaluate the predictive value of sTg for different metastatic sites. Methods A total of 567 DTC patients (179 males, 388 females; age: (45.3±12.3) years) who received the first 131Ⅰ treatment between January 2012 and June 2017 were included. Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), sTg and thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH) were determined within 1 week before 131 I treatment. Metastases were detected by ultrasonography, CT or 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( FDG ) PET/CT, 131 I whole-body scan, SPECT/CT imaging and pathology. sTg levels of patients with different metastatic sites and different metasta-sis numbers or lesion diameters were compared ( Kruskal-Wallis H test) . Spearman correlation analysis was performed on the number, diameter and sTg level of metastases. The receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve was used to explore the predictive value of sTg before the first 131 I treatment for DTC metasta-sis. Results The median values of sTg in the bone, lung, lymph node metastases groups and non-metasta-sis group were 500.00, 104.40, 27.45, 2.39μg/L, respectively, and there were significant differences, ex-cept for bone and lung metastases groups ( H range: -294.605 to 175.162, all P<0.05) . The sTg levels of lung metastasis group and lymph node metastasis group were both decreased by the order of metastasis num- bers (≥3, =2, =1;H range:-57.887 to 48.763, all P<0.05) . As to the diameter of metastases, the sTg levels of >2.0 cm, 1.1-2.0 cm, and≤1.0 cm subgroups in the lung metastasis group and lymph node me-tastasis group were also decreased in order ( H range: -69.935 to 61.043, all P<0.05) . Spearman correla-tion analysis showed that the number ( rs=0.568, 0.606) and diameter ( rs=0.806, 0.664) of the metasta-ses in the lung and lymph node metastases group were positively correlated with sTg (all P<0.05). Areas under ROC curves for sTg to predict bone, lung and lymph node metastasis were 0.935, 0.843 and 0.791 re-spectively. The threshold values were 197. 65, 23. 21 and 10. 96 μg/L respectively. The sensitivities and the specificities were 91.70%, 79.60%, 67.20% and 97.20%, 80.80%, 82.70% respectively. Conclusions Tg level before the first 131 I treatment has a certain predictive value for the metastasis, metastatic site and num-ber or diameter in DTC patients.
