Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with perianal necrotizing fasciitis.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study. Twenty patients with perianal necrotizing fasciitis who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University (hereinafter referred to as our department) from August 2013 to September 2023, including 19 males and 1 female, aged 24-74 (56±11) years. Based on the spreading route of perianal infection to the lower abdomen, the patients were divided into perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall group (12 cases) and perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal group (8 cases). The following clinical data were compared between the two groups of patients: general data, including gender, age, combined underlying diseases, blood glucose level and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score when admitted to our department, and laboratory risk indicator for necrotizing fasciitis (LRINEC) score when admitted to our department and at 14 d after admitted to our department; infection indicators when admitted to our department, including C-reactive protein level, white blood cell count, lymphocyte count, procalcitonin level, and lactic acid level; clinical outcome-related indicators, including time from onset to definite infection range, number of surgery, treatment in intensive care unit (ICU), length of hospital stay, treatment outcome, and recurrence of necrotizing fasciitis during follow-up; detection of pathogen and bacterial drug resistance in wound necrotic tissue specimen when admitted to our department.Results:Compared with those in perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall group, the APACHE Ⅱ score and lactic acid level when admitted to our department and LRINEC score at 14 d after admitted to our department (with t values of -5.98, -5.01, and -2.86, respectively, P<0.05) and ICU treatment ratio ( P<0.05) were significantly increased, the time from onset to definite infection range was significantly prolonged ( Z=-3.75, P<0.05), and the number of surgery was significantly increased ( Z=2.80, P<0.05) in patients in perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal group. There were no statistically significant differences in other data between the two groups of patients ( P>0.05). Eighteen patients were cured, and no recurrence of perianal necrotizing fasciitis was observed during follow-up of 6 months in 18 cured patients. The main bacteria were Escherichia coliand Klebsiella pneumoniae, and the fungui were Aspergillus and Candida albicans detected in wound necrotic tissue specimens in two groups of patients when admitted to our department. The ratio of multiple drug resistance of bacteria in wound necrotic tissue specimens in perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal group of patients was significantly higher than that in perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Perianal necrotizing fasciitis can spread to the lower abdomen through two routes: the perianal-inguinal-lower abdominal wall route and the perianal-pelvic cavity-retroperitoneal route. The latter is more insidious in disease progression and more challenging in treatment. Establishing a mechanism of multi-disciplinary team diagnosis and treatment can achieve the goal of early diagnosis and precise treatment of perianal necrotizing fasciitis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Chaihu Guizhitang on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells based on hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)/vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) signaling pathway. MethodTNBC xenograft model was established and the cells were randomized into model group, capecitabine group (0.2 mg·kg-1), Chaihu Guizhitang low-dose group, medium-dose group, and high-dose group (10.62, 21.23, 42.46 g·kg-1), with 10 mice in each group. After 21 days of medication, the content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of HIF-1α mRNA was detected by real-time fluorogenic quantitative polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to detect the expression of HIF-1α, TNF-α, and VEGFA in tumor tissues, and CD34 staining to examine the angiogenesis in tumor tissues. Microvessel density (MVD) was calculated, and the protein expression of HIF-1α, VEGFA, and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in tumor tissues was measured by Western blot. ResultCompared with the model group, the rest four groups showed low levels of TNF-α (P<0.01), HIF-1α mRNA (P<0.01), expression of HIF-1α, TNF-α, VEGFA, and CD34 in cells, and MVD (P<0.05, P<0.01), and low protein levels of HIF-1α, VEGFA, and EGFR (P<0.01). Compared with capecitabine group, medium-dose and high-dose Chaihu Guizhitang decreased the level of TNF-α (P<0.01), HIF-1α mRNA (P<0.01), expression of HIF-1α, TNF-α, and VEGFA in cells (P<0.01), CD34 expression, MVD, and protein levels of HIF-1α, VEGFA, and EGFR (P<0.01). ConclusionChaihu Guizhitang may inhibit the angiogenesis in TNBC cells by regulating the expression of HIF-1α/VEGFA signaling pathway, thus exerting anti-tumor effect.

Objective:To explore the application effect of painting art therapy in young and middle-aged patients with maintenance hemodialysis, and to provide reference for clinical nursing.Methods:Adopted the convenience sampling method to collect 90 young and middle-aged patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis in the Hemodialysis Room of Taihe County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They were divided into two groups according to the time of enrollment. The patients enrolled from March 2018 to March 2019 served as the control group, and the patients enrolled from April 2019 to March 2020 served as the study group. There were 45 cases in each group. Both groups were given routine nursing care, and the study group received 4 times of painting art therapy on this basis. Before and after the intervention, the effects were assessed by the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS-R) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).Results:Finally, there were 44 cases in the control group and 43 cases in the study group. Before the intervention, there were no significant differences in the observation indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). After the intervention, scores of sensory, emotional, cognition, behavioral demensions and total fatigue scores of PFS-R were (3.33 ± 1.02), (4.47 ± 1.42), (3.56 ± 0.79), (3.26 ± 0.76) and (3.65 ± 0.57) in the study group, significantly lower than those in the control group (5.41 ± 1.13), (6.07 ± 1.37), (4.95 ± 1.21), (4.43 ± 0.87) and (5.22 ± 0.51) (t values were 5.14-13.30, all P<0.05). Scores of sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep efficiency factor score and PSQI total score were (0.95 ± 0.20), (1.71 ± 0.33), (1.10 ± 0.21) and (9.13 ± 0.60) in the study group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group (1.13 ± 0.19), (1.90 ± 0.24), (1.35 ± 0.31) and (9.90 ± 0.71), the differences were statistically significant (t values were 2.95 - 5.44, all P<0.05).Conclusions:Painting art therapy can effectively relieve fatigue symptoms and improve sleep quality in young and middle-aged patients with maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and associated factors of delayed voiding among middle school students, and to provide the basis for health education.
Methods:
A total of 1 260 middle school students were selected from Sanmen country in Taizhou by using multi-stage stratified sampling method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the demographic characteristics, epidemiological characteristics and associated factors of delayed voiding by questionnaire.
Results:
The proportion of frequent delayed voiding among middle school students was 14.37%(181). The proportion among senior high school students was 15.51%(90), and among junior high school students was 13.67%(91),no significant differences were found by grade(χ2=0.57, P=0.45). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that residential school, homework per day >2 hours, games and reduce the frequency of drinking ≥7 times/week were risk factors for delayed voiding frequently in junior high school students(OR=3.71, 1.70, 3.02,6.52,P<0.05). Higher than 2 hours of daily homework, a supportive or indifferent attitude to delayed voiding, staying in bed after waking up, drinking <0.5 L/d or ≥2.0 L/d, and reduce the frequency of drinking ≥7 times/week were risk factors for delayed voiding behavior in high school students(OR=2.23, 1.81, 2.22, 3.48, 2.69, 3.00, P<0.05).
Conclusion
The prevalence of frequent delayed voiding was high among middle school students. Attitude, environment and the quality of drinking water were the primary factors of frequent delayed voiding.
