Primary multiple pulmonary nodules have a high incidence,and the size and number of pulmonary nodules on computed tomography images increase with time.Postoperative pathology of multiple pulmonary nodules shows chronic inflammation,adenomatoid change,carcinoma in situ,microinvasive carcinoma,infiltrating carcinoma,and other forms.There is a possibility of"inflammation-cancer transformation"in multiple pulmonary nodules with prolonged time and external irritation.The accumulation of dampness phlegm and blood stasis is the basis of the theory of"inflammation-cancer transformation."Healthy qi deficiency is the key to the"inflammation-cancer transformation."Qi and yang deficiency are the root cause of healthy qi depletion.Emotional depression,dampness,phlegm,and blood stasis transforming into toxins provide the impetus for"inflammation-cancer transformation."There are struggle between healthy qi and evil qi,and waxing and waning of dampness,phlegm and blood stasis in the process of"inflammation-cancer transformation."The dampness phlegm and blood stasis will increase when evil qi increases and healthy qi decreases.In contrast,the size,number,and malignancy of nodules will increase during healthy qi deficiency,showing a dynamic shift from inflammation to atypical adenomatous hyperplasia to cancer.The dampness phlegm and blood stasis will be absorbed as the healthy qi increases and evil qi decreases so that lung cancer can be reversed.External irritation,such as acute inflammatory stimulation,may accelerate the transformation of"inflammation-cancer"in multiple pulmonary nodules.

Objective:To standardize the management of auditory hallucination symptoms in inpatients with mental illness and develop an expert consensus on the management of auditory hallucinations in hospitalized psychiatric patients.Methods:From March 2023 to July 2023, the Mental Health Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association focused on the key issues in the management of auditory hallucinations symptoms in inpatients with mental illness, based on clinical practice, using literature analysis combined with the work experience of mental health experts, and formed the first draft of the expert consensus on the management of auditory hallucinations in inpatients with mental illness (hereinafter referred to as the consensus). Through 3 rounds of expert consultation and 3 rounds of expert demonstration meeting, the draft was adjusted, revised, and improved.Results:37 experts were included in the Delphi expert consultation, 1 male and 36 females with 39-67(51.48 ± 6.61) years old. The positive coefficients of experts in 3 rounds of Delphi expert consultations were all 100%, and the degrees of expert authority were 0.924, 0.938 and 0.949, respectively. The average importance value of each item was higher than 4.00, the variation coefficient of each item was less than 0.25. The Kendall harmony coefficient of the experts were 0.179, 0.195 and 0.198, respectively (all P<0.05). There were 15, 12, 12 experts in the first, seeond, third rounds of expert demonstration meeting. Finally, a consensus was reached on the recommendation of 4 parts, included auditory hallucination assessment, management format, symptom management implementation, and precautions. Conclusions:The consensus covers all parts of the management of auditory hallucination symptoms in hospitalized patients with mental disorders, which is practical and scientific. It is helpful to guide mental health professionals to standardize the management of auditory hallucination symptoms, improve the quality of nursing and ensure the safety of patients.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignant plasmacyte disease that often presents with symptoms such as bone pain and anemia. Currently, there is an increasing number of literature reports on malignant tumors combined with hyperamylasemia, but this is more common in tumors such as gastric cancer, and MM with hyperamylasemia is clinically rare and has not been found in plateau areas. Due to the complex clinical manifestations of MM patients with hyperamylasemia, there is no standard treatment therapy. There is no literature report on the use of daretuumab in combination. Based on the results of the retrospective analysis of the first case of MM with hyperamylasemia in a plateau area, it is recommended that clinicians in plateau areas take amylase level as a sensitive indicator to evaluate the severity of MM in order to reduce the misdiagnosis rate of MM and provide a new treatment option for the promotion and application of MM with hyperamylasemia.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of treating mediate-risk pure ground glass pulmonary nodules (pGGNs) based on the state theory. MethodsA prospective clinical randomized controlled trial was used. Totally 141 cases of mediate-risk pGGNs were divided into treatment group (92 cases) and control group (49 cases) according to the random table method. The treatment group was given the basic Sanjie Formula (基础散结方) orally with modification according to the identification of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) state, 1 dose per day, 3 months as a course of treatment.Three months after the treatment patients were checked by CT. Patients who were clinically judged as cure, moderate to low risk, and turned to surgical resection do not carry out a second course of treatment,and the rest of the patients continued to complete the second courses. Patients in the control group did not receive any treatment and were only followed up periodically. Patients in both groups received a CT review 3 months and 6 months after enrolled. Comprehensive curative effect was evaluated according to the reduction rate of the area of pulmonary nodules shown in chest CT, to further explore the clinical effective difference for patients at different TCM state; the risk of malignancy index (Mayo score) was calculated by Mayo model at enrollment and 3 months and 6 months after enrolled. Adverse events were monitored continuously during the study. ResultsDuring the follow-up, 8 cases in the treatment group and 7 cases in the control group were lost. A total of 126 cases completed the whole process, including 84 cases in the treatment group and 42 cases in the control group. The total effective rates at 3 months and 6 months of the treatment group were 46.15% (30/65) and 45.71% (32/70) in the treatment group, while the total effective rates at 3 months and 6 months in the control group were 12.5% (4/32) and 10.00% (4/40). Compared with the control group, the comprehensive curative effect of 3 months and 6 months of enrollment in treatment group was significantly better than that in corresponding control group (P<0.01). The pulmonary nodule area and Mayo score in the treatment group decreased after 3 and 6 months of enrollment (P<0.01). In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in nodule area between pre- and post-enrollment time points in the control group (P>0.05), and probability of Mayo risk increased in the control group after 6 months of enrollment compared to pre-enrollment (P<0.05). Among the 84 patients in the treatment group, there were 15 cases of qi deficiency state, 7 cases of yin deficiency state, 5 cases of yang deficiency state, 20 cases of qi depression state, 32 cases of damp-heat state, and 5 cases of harmonious state; the difference in the distribution of the total clinical effective rate of the patients with different TCM states after treatment was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the total effective rate of two-by-two comparison of qi depression state was higher (13/20,65.00%) than that of the total effective rate of damp-heat state (8/32,25.00%, P<0.00833). There were no significant changes in blood routine, urine routine, liver function and kidney function in both groups, and no adverse events occurred. ConclusionTreating mediate-risk pGGNs based on the state theory can effectively reduce the area of pulmonary nodules and inhibit the growth of malignant risk of pulmonary nodules.

Depressive disorder ranks as a major bur-den of disease worldwide,yet the current antidepressant medications are limited by frequent non-responsiveness and significant side effects.The lateral septum(LS)is thought to control of depression,however,the cellular and circuit substrates are largely unknown.Here,we identified a subpopulation of LS GABAergic adenosine A2A receptors(A2AR)-positive neurons mediating depres-sive symptoms via direct projects to the lateral habenula(LHb)and the dorsomedial hypothalamus(DMH).Activa-tion of A2AR in the LS augmented the spiking frequency of A2AR-positive neurons leading to a decreased activation of surrounding neurons and the bi-directional manipula-tion of LS-A2AR activity demonstrated that LS-A2ARs are necessary and sufficient to trigger depressive pheno-types.Thus,the optogenetic modulation(stimulation or inhibition)of LS-A2AR-positive neuronal activity or LS-A2AR-positive neurons projection terminals to the LHb or DMH,phenocopied depressive behaviors.Moreover,A2AR are upregulated in the LS in two male mouse mod-els of repeated stress-induced depression.This identifica-tion that aberrantly increased A2AR signaling in the LS is a critical upstream regulator of repeated stress-induced depressive-like behaviors provides a neurophysiological and circuit-based justification of the antidepressant poten-tial of A2AR antagonists,prompting their clinical transla-tion.

Objective:To evaluate the optimization strategy of labor analgesia in obese parturients using dural puncture epidural (DPE) combined with programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB).Methods:Eighty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ obese primiparae, who were at full term with a singleton fetus in vertex presentation, aged 20-40 yr, with body mass index of 30-40 kg/m 2, at 37-42 week gestation, with cervical dilation of 2-5 cm, and with visual analogue scale score ≥50 mm, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: DPE plus PIEB group (DPEP group) and DPE plus continuous epidural infusion group (DPEC group). All parturients received DPE labor analgesia, and parturients received PIEB (DPEP group) and continuous epidural infusion (DPEC group) to maintain analgesia during labor. In DPEP group, the patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump was set up to deliver a 5 ml bolus dose with a 20-min lockout interval and background infusion at 2 ml/12 min after an initial dose of 8 ml. In DPEC group, the patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump was set up to deliver a 5 ml bolus dose with a 20-min lockout interval and background infusion at 10 ml/h after an initial dose of 8 ml. The analgesia solution contained 0.1% ropivacaine plus 0.3 μg/ml sufentanil. The time to achieve adequate analgesia, consumption of ropivacaine per unit time, height of sensory block at the thoracic vertebral level, modified Bromage score, effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia, the number of rescue analgesia, Apgar score, delivery mode, occurrence of adverse reactions and maternal satisfaction with labor analgesia were recorded. Results:Compared with DPEC group, the time to achieve adequate analgesia was significantly shortened, the consumption of ropivacaine per unit time was decreased, and the number of rescue analgesia and effective pressing times of patient-controlled analgesia were decreased in DPEP group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the height of sensory block at the thoracic vertebral level, modified Bromage score, Apgar score, delivery mode, incidence of adverse reactions and maternal satisfaction with labor analgesia between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:DPE combined with PIEB offers faster onset and better effect and achieves a greater local anesthetics-sparing effect when used for labor analgesia in obese parturients.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of reinfection of 2019-nCoV and influencing factors, and provide evidence for effective prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:The incidence data of COVID-19 in Ningbo from January 1, 2020 to November 30, 2022 were collected from the infectious disease surveillance system of Chinese information system for disease control and prevention. The incidence of reinfection of 2019-nCoV was investigated by using questionnaire. logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influences of gender, age, time interval from the first infection, history of underlying disease, 2019-nCoV vaccination dose and disease severity on the reinfection.Results:A total of 897 previous 2019-nCoV infection cases were investigated, of which 115 experienced the reinfection of 2019-nCoV, the reinfection rate was 12.82%. The interval between the two infections M( Q1, Q3) was 1 052 (504, 1 056) days. Univariate analysis showed that age, 2019-nCoV vaccination dose, history of underlying disease, type of 2019-nCoV variant causing the first infection, time interval from the first infection and severity of the first infection were associated with the reinfection rate (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk for reinfection in age group 30- years was higher than that in age group ≥60 years ( OR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.11-3.97). No reinfection occurred in those with time interval from the first infection of <6 months, and the risk for reinfection was higher in those with the time interval of ≥12 months than in those with the time interval of 6- months ( OR=6.68, 95% CI: 3.46-12.90). The risk for reinfection was higher in the common or mild cases than in the asymptomatic cases ( OR=2.64, 95% CI: 1.18-5.88; OR=2.79, 95% CI: 1.27-6.11). Conclusion:The time interval from the first infection was an important influencing factor for the reinfection of 2019-nCoV, and the probability of the reinfection within 6 months was low.

Objective:To construct a Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 25 experts from fields such as psychiatric nursing, psychiatric management, and rehabilitation treatment as the subject of the consultation. On the basis of literature review and clinical experience, the research group used the Delphi method to conduct two rounds of consultation with 25 experts, forming a Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression. The enthusiasm of experts was evaluated using the effective response rate of the questionnaires. The authority level of experts was assessed using an authority coefficient. The concentration of expert opinions was evaluated using the mean of item importance assignment and coefficient of variation. The degree of coordination of expert opinions was represented by the Kendall coordination coefficient.Results:The effective response rates of the two rounds of consultation questionnaires were all 100%, with expert authority coefficients of 0.890 and 0.904, and the Kendall coordination coefficients of expert opinions of 0.247 and 0.203 ( P<0.05) . The Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression was constructed, which included 10 dimensions and 38 items. Conclusions:The Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression is scientific and reliable, which can provide a basis for clinical nurses to evaluate the discharge preparation service demands of psychiatric patients with depression.

Children have unique physiological and pathological characteristics, and their various system diseases are closely related to immune function, such as respiratory system, digestive system, nervous system, endocrine system, etc. These correlations are directly or indirectly related to the intestinal micro-ecosystem. In recent years, more and more study results show that as a major component of the human micro-ecosystem, the intestinal micro-ecosystem plays a decisive role in the important physiological functions of children such as immunity, metabolism, nutrition, etc. Children's intestinal micro-ecosystem is also associated with the treatment and prognosis of infectious diseases, chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases and metabolic diseases. In this paper, the related research of intestinal micro-ecology and some common diseases in pediatrics were summarized and discussed, the correlation between intestinal micro-ecology and pediatric diseases were deeply analyzed, in order to further understand the potential pathogenesis of pediatric diseases, and to provide new ideas for guiding the clinical treatment and long-term rehabilitation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between different serum uric acid (SUA) levels and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in adults.Methods:From March 2019 to February 2020, 5006 adults in Wuxi area of Taihu Sanatorium in Jiangsu Province were selected as subjects. Quintile method was divided into the following five groups: Q1: SUA<270 μmol/L, Q2: 270 μmol/L SUA 318 μmol/L or less, Q3: 319 μmol/L ≤SUA≤360 μmol/L, Q4: 361 μmol/L SUA 410 μmol/L or less, and Q5: SUA>410 μmol/L. Correlation was analyzed by logistic analysis, with IFG as the outcome index, five SUA groups as the observation index, and gender, age, body mass index (BMI), blood lipid, and blood pressure as confounding factors. Three logistic regression analysis models were constructed to explore the relationship between different SUA level groups and IFG risk, as well as the influence of BMI on the risk correlation between SUA and IFG.Results:The BMI, DBP, FPG, TC, TG, and LDL-C all increased with the increase in SUA level; however, HDL-C gradually decreased with the increase in SUA level (P<0.01). The SUA levels among the five groups were positively correlated with fasting blood glucose level in the IFG group ( r=0.589, P<0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, and BMI, SUA level was strongly associated with fasting glucose in the IFG group ( r=0.534, P<0.001). After further adjustment for blood lipid and blood pressure, the correlation persisted ( r=0.523, P<0.001). With Q1 as the control group, the calculated OR values of IFG risk were 1.199, 2.660, 2.784 and 3.629, respectively. After further adjustment for various confounding factors, the calculated OR values of each group were 1.130, 2.389, 2.350 and 2.895, respectively. The IFG risk in the group with SUA level in the corresponding Q2 and Q5 groups was 1.13 times and 2.90 times higher, respectively, than that in the normal group, indicating that with the increase in SUA level, the IFG risk in the population increased. With the increase in BMI and SUA levels after BMI stratification, the mean fasting glucose level increased ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The SUA level and IFG risk are closely related. Increased SUA level increases IFG risk, and SUA and IFG are associated with weight gain, which should be paid attention to.
