Objective:To understand the current situation of care needs for disabled elderly people, analyze the impact of the family environment and community services on the care needs and care pathways of older people with disabilities and to formulate effective interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2022 to March 2023 in five tertiary-level hospitals in Tangshan city. The survey included 332 elderly people who were disabled before hospitalization and their primary caregivers, who were selected using a convenience sampling method. The survey investigated their general information, degree of disability, family members′ support, children′s filial piety and old age ethical level, family relationships, and the care needs of the elderly people who were disabled. SPSS 22.0 was used for one-way and correlation analyses as well as multiple linear regression analyses, and AMOS 22.0 was used for the development of structural equations for path analysis.Results:Among 332 disabled elderly individuals, there were 166 males and 166 females each. The care needs score for elderly people with disabilities was 101.54 ± 16.38. The care needs of this population can be influenced by several factors, including the level of disability, number of chronic conditions, presence of chronic pain, filial piety and old age ethical level of caregivers, family relationships, and the availability of care services in the community or village. These factors had direct effects of 0.468, 0.155, -0.083, -0.350, -0.094, and 0.104, respectively.Chronic diseases and chronic pain indirectly affected the demand for care through the degree of incapacity (with respective indirect effect values of 0.065 and 0.049). Additionally, the demand for care was indirectly influenced by the level of filial piety and ethics of the caregiver through the degree of incapacity and the family relationships (an indirect effect value of -0.162).Conclusions:The care needs of the disabled elderly are high, and the personal physiology, family environment and community support of the disabled elderly will directly or indirectly affect their care needs. Therefore, many factors should be considered comprehensively considered to improve the quality of care of the disabled elderly.

Objective:To Explore the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of FH-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-deficient RCC) with tumor thrombus, and share surgical experience.Methods:From August 2019 to October 2022, 6 cases of FH-deficient RCC with tumor thrombus were diagnosed and treated in our center, including 4 males and 2 females. The patients were aged 22 to 57 years, with 2 cases younger than 40 years, icluding 5 cases on the left and 1 case on the right. The median maximum diameter of the tumor is 8 (4.8, 14.0) cm. Operations were performed after complete examination (enhanced CT and other related examinations). One case underwent open surgery and palliative resection of the left kidney was performed because of severe adhesion of the inferior vena cava. Among the remaining 5 cases, 1 case underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic right radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy, 1 case underwent transabdominal laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy, and 3 cases underwent robot assisted laparoscopic left radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy.Results:The median surgical time was 293 (185, 366) min, with blockage of the vena cava for 13 min and 28 min in 2 of 6 cases, respectively. The pathological report of renal tumor and tumor thrombus was FH-deficient renal carcinoma. The pathological features were as follows: the gross section of the specimen was gray yellow solid, often accompanied by necrosis, and the cystic cavity could be seen locally. Microscopically, the tumor extensively involved the renal parenchyma, with papillary, cribriform and tubular cystic structures. Immunohistochemistry showed FH (-), 2SC (+ ). The median postoperative hospital stay was 8 (4, 15) days. The median follow-up time was 13 (4, 27) months. One patient undergoing palliative resection of the left kidney underwent targeted therapy and radiotherapy after surgery (died 15 months after surgery due to gastrointestinal perforation). During the follow-up process, 4 cases experienced metastasis and received systematic treatment, with 1 death 27 months after surgery. Uterine leiomyomas were found in the remaining 1 case during follow-up.Conclusions:FH-deficient RCC with tumor thrombus is very rare. This disease is highly invasive, difficult to be diagnosed preoperatively and poor clinically prognostic. Operation combined with systemic therapy is an effective way to treat FH-deficient RCC with tumor thrombus.

Ovarian Leydig cell tumor(LCT), also known as ovarian testicular stromal cell tumor, is a rare sex cord stromal tumor, accounting for about 0.1% of all ovarian tumors. LCT is often accompanied by clinical manifestations of elevated androgen, and the imaging manifestations sometimes lack specificity. The diagnosis requires histopathological examination. Surgery is the primary treatment method, and postoperative prognosis is generally favorable. This paper retrospectively analyzes the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with LCT in our hospital combining relevant literature, explore the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment progress of LCT, aiming to improve disease management.

Objective:To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of unsatisfied needs of patients after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer through quantitative and qualitative mixed research methods, and to provide reference for the development of effective health management programs in the future.Methods:A total of 297 patients who were hospitalized in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital from January to December 2021 after radical gastretomy were selected as subjects by convenient sampling method. The general data questionnaire and Short-Form Survivor Unmet Needs Survey (SF-SUNS) were used to investigate. Selected 12 patients with gastric cancer by objective sampling method for semi-structured in-depth interview and collate data by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The total average score of 297 subjects who did not meet the requirements was (60.91 ± 16.00), which was in the middle level. The average score of each dimension from high to low was: continuous care unmet needs (2.37 ± 0.75) points, work economy unmet needs (2.22 ± 0.65) points, information unmet needs (2.20 ± 0.92) points, emotion unmet needs (1.72 ± 0.60) points. Educational background, main economic source of family and working state were the influencing factors of unmet demand ( t=5.32, -3.59, -3.28, all P<0.05). Qualitative research had extracted four themes: unmet needs for symptom network recognition and accurate symptom management, unmet needs for shared decision participation and disease perception trajectory, unmet needs for dignity maintenance and reconstruction of psychological stress mechanism, and unmet needs for "Internet plus" mobile medical continuous care. Conclusions:The problem of unmet needs of patients after radical gastritis is still prevalent and affected by a variety of factors. It is suggested that medical workers build an effective supportive care system based on the status quo of unmet needs of patients, promote the whole process of multidimensional health management services for patients with gastric cancer, and improve the quality of life.

Objective:To introduce our experience on dealing with the internal carotid artery (ICA) during the resection of lateral skull base tumors, and to explore the reference values for using radiological findings to make a rational surgical plan.Methods:A retrospective study of patients who underwent resection of lateral skull base tumors involving ICA at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from May 2015 to May 2021 was conducted. The demographic information, preoperative examinations, diagnosis, surgical details and follow-ups were collected. A total of 41 patients were enrolled [24 (58.5%] females, 17 (41.5%) males], with an average age of 47.9 years. According to the preoperative imaging findings, the relationships between the tumors and ICA were divided into four types: adjacency, compression, invasion and ICA aneurysm.Results:The ICA was preserved in 32 (78.0%, 32/41) cases and was reconstructed in nine (22.0%, 9/41) cases. All the 27 (65.9%, 27/41) tumors adjacent to ICA were successfully separated from the artery. Among the 11 tumors compressing the ICA, six were resected with the involved ICA segment and vascular reconstruction was conducted. One (2.4%, 1/41) tumor invading ICA and two (4.9%, 2/41) ICA aneurysms required revascularization. The mean follow-up time was (26.1±2.9) months. There was no recurrence, except one case of adenoid cystic carcinoma which had brain metastases one year after surgery.Conclusions:According to the preoperative imaging, lateral skull base tumors adjacent to ICA can be detached from the vascular surface. Separation should be attempted first for tumors compressing ICA, and revascularization should be followed if separation failed. Vascular reconstruction is usually needed in the removal of tumors invading ICA and ICA aneurysms. Preoperative radiology can provide good references for planning a surgery for lateral skull base tumors.

At present, the treatment of relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still challenging, and there is no standard treatment for relapsed/refractory AML patients. Current research believes that participating in clinical trials involving small molecule targeted therapy, immunotherapy and epigenetic therapy may be the best choice, but the efficacy and toxicity of clinical trials have not been widely evaluated, and the long-term survival of patients is not clear, so the prognosis of relapsed/refractory AML is still very poor. The future direction of research will focus on novel, effective and targeted treatment combinations, and low toxicity, personalized and accurate treatment strategies. This article reviews the latest progress in targeted therapy for relapsed/refractory AML.

Objective The vertical transmission of HIV, from mother to child remains one of the most important challenges all over the world. This study evaluated the implementation and effectiveness of prevention of mother to child HIV transmission program (PMTCT) from 2012 to 2019 in Suzhou. Methods The data used in this study were obtained from the PMTCT program carried out in hospitals and maternal and child health care centers of Suzhou from 2012 to 2019. The basic information of the HIV positive mothers including marital status, gravidity and parity history, educational background, date of HIV diagnosis, transmission route of HIV, information about the sexual partner, last menstrual period, current pregnancy outcome, and neonatal information were collected. The characteristics of the HIV positive mothers from 2012 to 2019 were analyzed. The statistical difference between the groups was evaluated by the χ²-test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results A total of 116 HIV positive women were diagnosed through prenatal examination. Among the 116 pregnant women, 75 gave birth to 76 live neonates. Only one infant was diagnosed HIV infected because of the HIV positive mother didn't take the anti-virus drugs until delivery. Conclusion The HIV prevalence of Suzhou city showed a low-level tendency. It's important to perform early diagnosis and early prevention for HIV positive pregnant women. There are improvements to make in the program implementation in Suzhou city.

Objective To investigate the status and its influencing factors of spiritual health of patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors. Methods Totally 147 advanced cancer patients from three tertiary hospitals in Tianjin (Tianjin Hospital of ITCWM Nankai Hospital, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Therapy, The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University) were enrolled through convenience sampling methods. The status of spiritual health and quality of life were analyzed by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well Being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12) and the World Health Organization′s Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief Version Scale(WHOQOL-BREF). Results The overall scores of the FACIT-Sp-12 were (25.64 ± 2.84) points, at a lower-middle level,the overall scores of the WHOQOL-BREF were (11.24 ± 2.85) points,at a lower level. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the age,religious belief and educational level were influencing factors of spiritual health( P<0.05). Conclusions The level of spiritual health of advanced cancer patients is at lower-middle level. With different age,religious belief, educational level the status of spiritual health is different. Nurses should carry out targeted nursing intervention according to individual conditions of patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors to improve their quality of life.

Objective To investigate the clinical diagnostic value of serum procalcitonin(PCT),D-dimer (DD),C-reactive protein(CRP)in acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF). Methods 124 ACLF patients, 63 chronic hepatitis B patients,32 chronic hepatitis C patients,24 chronic hepatitis E patients and 60 healthy controls from the second affiliated hospital of Nanchang University were enrolled in this study.PCT was detected by a sandwish immunodetection method. D-dimer was detected by Latex Turbidimetry. CRP was detected by rate nephenometry. The detection results were used for analyzing the clinical diagnostic value of ACLF with infection. Results(1)The level of PCT,DD and CRP in ACLF group were significantly higher than non-ACLF group and healthy controls(P<0.05).The levels of PCT,DD and CRP in the infection group were significantly higher than non-infection group(P<0.05).(2)The positive rates of PCT,DD and CRP in the infection group were 93.24%, 78.38%,89.19%,which were significantly higher than the non-infection group and healthy controls respectively (P < 0.05).(3)The sensitivity(93.24%)and specificity(90.00%)of PCT were the highest among all indexes. (4)The area under the ROC curve of PCT,DD,CRP were 0.892,0.715,0.755,respectively.PCT had the highest diagnostic value. Conclusion The levels of serum PCT,DD and CRP have a significant clinical value for the early diagnosis of ACLF with infection.

Objective Visceral pain in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may be associated with the abnormal processing of pain in the central nervous system.The aim of the study is to investigate the characteristic changes of brain functions in the IBD patients using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) with the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) algorithm.Methods This study included 27 cases of IBD treated in our hospital from December 2015 to August of 2016 and 21 healthy volunteers as normal controls.We recorded the high-resolution structure imaging and rs-fMRI data, compared the brain activities of the two groups patients by ALFF analysis, and evaluated the correlation of the ALFF values with the clinical parameters of the IBD patients.Results Compared with the normal control group, the IBD patients showed significantly decreased ALFF values in the medial frontal gyrus, right putamen, right insula, left middle cingulate gyrus (MCC), and bilateral supplementary motor region (P<0.05), increased ALFF values in the middle frontal gyrus, left superior frontal gyrus, and medial prefrontal lobe region (P<0.05).The ALFF values in the inferior parietal lobule, precuneus and MCC of the IBD patients were correlated negatively with the blood sedimentation rate (r=-0.537,-0.588, and-0.588, P<0.05), disease course (P<0.05), and C-reactive protein (CRP) level (P<0.05), while that in the medial frontal gyrus positively with the CRP level (r=-0.623, P<0.001).Conclusion IBD patients have abnormal ALFF values in various brain regions, mainly in those involved in the processing of visceral pain and emotion.
