Objective:To investigate the current situation of diet management in patients with colorectal cancer after stent-based diverting technique, and to provide basis for formulating relevant nursing intervention strategies.Methods:Objective sampling method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews on 15 patients who underwent stent-based diverting technique for colorectal cancer and had the bypass tube removed from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University from March to July 2023. The interview outline was established based on information-motivation-behavioral skills(IMB) model, and the data were analyzed, summarized and extracted by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:There were 10 males and 5 females, aged 34-76 years old. According to the three elements of the IMB model, the current situation of diet management was summarized into nine themes. The information included the difficulty in obtaining effective diet guidance information, the lack of specific diet guidance content, the need for individualized diet information guidance mode, and the poor continuity of information exchange after discharge. The motivations included ignoring the importance of diet management, dislike the taste of oral nutritional preparations, and weak support from family members. Behavioral skills include inadequate tube care skills and lack of oral nutrition preparation skills.Conclusions:There are many problems in the diet management of patients after colorectal cancer stent-based diverting technique. Medical staff should optimize the diet education information of colorectal cancer patients after surgery, provide multi-level, multi-time and multi-form continuous care, mobilize the active participation of family members, improve the motivation of patients′ diet management, refine the nursing process of the bypass tube, strengthen the application guidance of oral nutrition preparation skills, and improve patients′ diet management ability.

Objective To observe the value of cardiac CT angiography(CCTA)for left atrial appendage closure(LAAC).Methods Twelve Labradors were enrolled and underwent LAAC.CCTA examinations were performed before and 7,45 and 90 days after LAAC,and the left atrial appendage(LAA)parameters before and post LAAC occluder compression ratio were recorded.Ninety days after LAAC,the dogs were euthanized for gross anatomical observation,micro CT imaging and pathological examination,and the value of CCTA for LAAC was analyzed.Results Based on CCTA before LAAC,LAA opening depth was(18.8±2.6)mm,the minimum diameter was(16.3±2.0)mm and the maximum diameter was(22.6±3.2)mm,so 28 mm diameter occluders were selected for LAAC.Seven,45 and 90 days after LAAC,no displacement of occluder,thrombi nor device leakage was found on CCTA,while no significant difference of compression ratio was found among different time points(P＞0.05),nor between those measured with CCTA and micro CT 90 days after LAAC(P＞0.05).Ninety days after LAAC,gross dissection revealed complete endothelialization of occlude in 11 dogs and incomplete endothelialization in 1 dog.Pathological examination showed that collagen fibers arranged neatly,with endothelial cells covering the surface,and no inflammatory cell infiltration was observed.Conclusion CCTA could be used to observe LAA and surrounding structures before LAAC,hence guiding to select appropriate occluder,evaluate occlusion effect and monitor complications of LAAC in dogs.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of modified objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for evaluating the core competencies of new nurses on standardized training in neurosurgery.Methods:Thirty-seven new nurses on standardized training in neurosurgery were evaluated using a modified OSCE protocol that was focused on core competencies required for clinical nursing practice on the basis of a clinical case library, which consisted of diagnostic assessment upon entrance, process teaching evaluation during training, and outcome assessment upon exit, at five OSCE stations (nursing assessment, skill practice, clinical thinking, health education, and humanistic care). SPSS 26.0 was used to perform the t-test and rank sum test. Results:The nurses highly recognized the effectiveness of modified OSCE and were largely satisfied with teaching. There were significant differences at entrance and exit in terms of the mean OSCE score ( t=24.21, P<0.001), independent learning ability ( t=10.29, P<0.001), and the scores of core competencies—good personal traits ( Z=5.24, P<0.001), clinical nursing ability ( Z=5.07, P<0.001), support and interpersonal communication ability ( Z=5.12, P<0.001), critical clinical thinking ability ( Z=5.17, P<0.001), professional construction and self-development ( Z=5.05, P<0.001), and the total score ( Z=5.27, P<0.001). Conclusions:The modified OSCE can comprehensively evaluate the core competencies of new nurses in neurosurgery standardized training, with good feasibility and effectiveness, which provides a reference for teaching management of standardized training programs.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of radium-223 in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients with and without homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutation.Methods:The clinical data of 27 patients with mCRPC bone metastases who received radium-223 therapy from April 2021 to November 2022 in Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 27 mCRPC patients, 18 patients carrying HRR gene mutations belonged to the HRD(+ ) group, and 9 patients without HRR gene mutation belonged to the HRD(-) group. The age of patients in HRD(+ ) group was 69.5 (63.8, 77.0) years old, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) was 243.0 (82.8, 301.3) U/L, prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 71.6 (7.3, 329.8) ng/ml, pain score was 3.0 (1.0, 5.0) points. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ranged from 0 to 1 points in 7 cases, and 2 points in 11 cases. In the HRD(-) group, the median age was 72.0 (64.5, 76.5) years old, ALP was 88.0 (67.5, 260.6) U/L, PSA was 19.1 (1.1, 117.8) ng/ml, and pain score was 2.0 (0, 4.5) points. The ECOG score ranged from 0 to 1 in 4 cases, and 2 in 5 cases in the HRD(-) group. There was no significant difference in the above general data between the two groups ( P>0.05). All patients received radium-223 treatment every 4 weeks, no more than 6 times. The changes of ALP, PSA, pain score and hematological adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:In the HRD(+ ) group, the median number of radium-223 treatment was 4.5 (3.0, 5.3) couses, 4 patients (22.2%) completed 6 courses, and 6 patients died of prostate cancer during follow-up. In the HRD(-) group, the median number of radium treatment was 4.0 (2.5, 6.0) couses, 3 patients (33.3%) completed 6 courses, and 1 patient died of prostate cancer during follow-up. There was no significant difference in the number of radium treatment courses between the two groups ( P=0.320). ALP in HRD(+ ) group was 101.8 (61.3, 147.0) U/L after radium-223 treatment, which was significantly lower than that before treatment ( P=0.002). ALP in HRD(-) group was 73.0 (64.0, 113.5) U/L after radium-223 treatment, and it was not significantly different from that before treatment ( P=0.327). The rate of ALP response (ALP decrease >10%) in HRD(+ ) group was significantly higher than that in HRD(-) group [83.3% (15/18) vs. 44.4% (4/9), P=0.037]. PSA was 105.9(5.2, 798.4) ng/ml in HRD (+ ) group after radium-223 treatment, and was 25.6(0.8, 1 031.0) ng/ml in HRD(-) group, and they were not significantly different from that before treatment ( P=0.145, P=0.386). There were no significant differences in the rate of PSA response (PSA decrease>10%) between HRD(+ ) group and HRD(-) group [38.9% (7/18) vs. 22.2% (2/9), P=0.386]. The median pain score of HRD(+ ) group was 3.0 (0, 4.0) points after treatment, which was significantly lower than that before treatment ( P=0.028). The pain score of HRD(-) group was 1.0(0, 3.0) points after treatment, and it was not significantly different from that before treatment ( P=0.129). There was no significant difference in pain relief rate between HRD(+ ) group and HRD(-) group [66.7% (12/18) vs. 44.4% (4/9), P=0.411]. The incidence of at least one hematological adverse event during radium-223 treatment in the HRD(+ ) group was higher than that in the HRD(-) group [77.8% (14/18) vs. 33.3% (3/9), P=0.039]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 1-2 hematological adverse events between the two groups [72.2%(13/18) vs. 33.3%(3/9), P=0.097]. Only 1 patient in the HRD(+ ) group experienced grade 3 anemia during treatment which was recovered after blood transfusion. Conclusions:Compared to mCRPC patients without HRR gene mutation, patients with HRR gene mutations had better ALP response and bone pain relief after radium-223 treatment. The overall incidence of adverse events in the HRD(+ ) group is higher than that in HRD(-) group, and there was no significant difference in grade 1-2 hematological adverse events between the two goups. It is necessary to expand the sample size to further verify the conclusion.

Pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is characterized by massive albuminuria, hypoproteinemia, edema and hyperlipidemia, with a long course and high probability of relapse and prolongation. Long-term complications caused by long-term usage of hormones and immunosuppressants in children with INS seriously affect their physical and mental health and quality of life. Most children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome can be cured before adulthood, while some of them relapse in adulthood. Long-term prognosis of children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome is poor. There have been few studies in China followed the long-term outcomes and its related factors of children with INS over 10 years. The paper reviewed the literatures on the long-term outcomes of children with INS, including renal survival, growth, mental health, learning and work, marriage and fertility, disease recurrence and long-term related complications, to explore the factors related to the poor long-term outcomes of children with INS and to assist in clinical decision-making and follow-up management.

Objective To investigate the role of low dose esketamine in pretreated limb ischemia-reperfusion inju-ry.Methods The rats were divided into sham-operated group(Sham group),ischemia-reperfusion group(I/R group,3 h of ischemia and 2 h of reperfusion),esketamine group(ESK group,ip,5 mg/kg).The plasma con-centrations of creatine kinase(CK)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)were measured.The wet/dry weight ratio of skeletal muscle was immediately detected.The gastrocnemius muscle was harvested and the level of malondial-dehyde(MDA)and superoxide dismutase(SOD)was detected by colorimetric assay.The expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)and heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)were detected by Western blot and im-munohistochemical staining.Results Compared with Sham group,the index of wet/dry weight ratio,MDA,CK,LDH,Nrf2 and HO-1 were all increased,but SOD was decreased in I/R group(P＜0.05).Compared with I/R group,the index of wet/dry weight ratio,MDA,CK and LDH were significantly lower,but SOD and Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly higher in ESK group(P＜0.05).Conclusions ESK may increase Nrf2 in the nucleus,thereby increase the HO-1 protein as an antioxidant agent.

Objective:To investigate the hemodynamic characteristics of the lenticulostriate artery (LSA) in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) patients with recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI) using 7.0 T two-dimensional phase-contrast MRI (2D PC-MRI).Methods:A total of 16 CSVD patients with deep RSSI and 18 age-and sex-matched healthy controls (HC group) meeting the inclusion criteria were prospectively recruited from July 2021 to June 2022 at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University. All participants underwent 7.0 T 2D PC-MRI with imaging plane localized at the level of the basal ganglia. A self-developed software (Flow analyze V1.0) was used to analyze the hemodynamic status of bilateral LSAs. The hemodynamic parameters including the maximum velocity (V max), average velocity (V avg), pulsatility index (PI), and resistance index (RI) of LSAs were calculated and recorded. As for the CSVD cases, the symptomatic side was defined as the ipsilateral side to the RSSI (CSVD symptomatic-side group), and the contralateral side was defined as the asymptomatic side (CSVD asymptomatic-side group). ANOVA or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare hemodynamic parameters among the three groups. Results:Significant differences in V max, V avg and PI were observed among the CSVD symptomatic-side group, CSVD asymptomatic-side group, and HC group ( F=5.22, P=0.006; F=3.47, P=0.033; F=4.37, P=0.014). Specifically, CSVD symptomatic-side group showed significantly reduced V max ( P=0.004) and V avg ( P=0.017), and increased PI ( P=0.007) compared to the HC group. The CSVD asymptomatic-side group showed decreased V max ( P=0.026) and increased PI ( P=0.039) compared to the HC group. Conclusions:Hemodynamic assessment based on 7.0 T 2D PC-MRI reveal that CSVD patients with RSSI decrease blood flow velocity and increase arterial PI of LSAs. These findings suggest potential corresponding hemodynamic mechanisms associated with CSVD with RSSI lesions.

Objective:To understand the influencing factors of the elderly' s demand for the pension mode of medical-nursing combination in Urumqi. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 300 elderly people randomly selected in Urumqi. Results:Univariate analysis showed that there was significant difference between retirement monthly income, life self-care ability, type of chronic disease, the degree of understanding on the pension mode of medical-nursing combination, family support and the demand rate of the elderly for the pension mode of medical-nursing combination ( P< 0 . 05 ) . Two Logistic regression analysis showed that life selfcare ability, types of chronic diseases, the degree of understanding on the pension mode of medical-nursing combination, and family support factors were statistically significant. Conclusion:It should change the traditional concept of single pension mode, improve the medical-nursing combination service system to meet the needs of all levels of the elderly, establish a long-term care insurance system, and improve the training mechanism of the elderly.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of TCM syndromes of children abnormal sweating;To investigate the correlation between diseases and primary and secondary syndromes. Methods Through a multi-center epidemiology investigation, 400 cases were collected to statistically analyze the five TCM syndromes of children abnormal sweating, and characteristics of each syndrome were analyzed. Results In the 400 cases of children abnormal sweating, there were 129 cases (32.25%) of dysfunction of lung-wei pattern, 50 cases (12.50%) of nutrient qi and defensive qi discordance, 84 cases (21.00%) of qi and yin deficiency pattern, 57 cases (14.25%) of dampness heat forced steamed pattern, and 80 cases (20.00%) of qi and yang deficiency pattern. Spontaneous sweating and night sweating were found in the four patterns besides qi and yin deficiency pattern, and night sweating can be mainly found in qi and yin deficiency. Each type is consistent in the syndrome differentiation and cluster analysis. Conclusion Spontaneous sweating and night sweating, each has the certification of yin and yang. Spontaneous sweating can be caused by yin deficiency while night sweating can be caused by yang deficiency. Each pattern of children abnormal sweating has its own syndrome characteristic, which can provide the basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To evaluate the role of calcium channel in the mechanism of the generation and maintenance of bursting firing of substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) dopaminergic neurons in rats.Methods Using the patch clamp technique,we observed the firing pattern switching features after adding 10 μmol/L N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA),compared the changes of whole-calcium current and L-type calcium current with or without NMDA,and analyzed the correlation between the generation of burst firing and L-type calcium channel activation.Results After NMDA treatment,the firing pattern of SNc dopaminergic neurons changed to burst firing,which was compromised by a charastistic high plateau potential and series of action potential on it.The current density of L-type calcium current increased significantly after adding NMDA,which,from (2.86 ±0.26) pA/pF (n =28),significantly increased to (3.75 ± 0.18) pA/pF (n =34 ; t =7.52,P =0.002 8).The high plateau potential was almost abolished with the application of verapamil,a specific antagonist of L-type calcium channel.Consiusion NMDA could induce the firing pattern changed to burst firing in SNc dopaminergic neurons,while L-type calcium channel contributes to the process of generation and maintenance of burst firing.
