AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of 3% diquafosol sodium ophthalmic solution in treating dry eye syndrome following cataract surgery and its impact on tear film stability.METHODS: This prospective clinical study was conducted at Xi'an Aier Eye Hospital, Northwest University from January 2021 to January 2024. A total of 124 patients(124 eyes)who underwent cataract phacoemulsification were enrolled and randomly assigned to either the study group(62 cases, 62 eyes)or the control group(62 cases, 62 eyes)using a random number table. The study group received 3% diquafosol sodium ophthalmic solution four times daily for 1 mo, while the control group was treated with sodium hyaluronate eye drops four times daily for 1 mo. Clinical efficacy, tear film breakup time(BUT), Schirmer I test(SⅠt), corneal fluorescein staining(FL)score, inflammatory factors [interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)] levels in tears, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: After treatment, the effective rate was 93.5% in the study group and 87.1% in the control group, with no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05). The study group showed significantly higher BUT, SⅠt values compared to the control group, while FL score, and inflammatory factor levels in tears were significantly lower at 1 mo after treatment(all P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions did not differ significantly between the two groups(P=0.198).CONCLUSION: The 3% diquafosol sodium ophthalmic solution significantly improves tear secretion and tear film stability in patients with dry eye syndrome after cataract surgery, effectively alleviating dry eye symptoms. It is a safe and effective treatment method.

Objective:To investigate the associated factors of depressive symptoms among patients with neo-plasms.Methods:Nationwide(excluding Hong Kong,Macao,and Taiwan),30 505 residents were selected by a combination of stratified sampling and quota sampling according to the proportion of the seventh national population census.Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9),General Anxiety Disorder-7(GAD-7),self-made questionnaire,and simplified perceived social support scale used to evaluate depressive symptoms,anxiety symptoms,behaviors,and perceived social support among patients with neoplasms.Results:Totally 359(1.2％)patients with self-repor-ted clinically diagnosed neoplasms were included,of which 151(42.1％)patients with malignant neoplasms and 208(57.9％)patients with benign neoplasms.The detection rate of depressive symptoms in patients with neo-plasms was 76.6％.Less than three days of walking for more than 10 minutes per day in the past week(OR=6.63),4-6 days of walking for more than 10 minutes per day in the past week(OR=5.00),the low(OR=4.80)or medium(OR=3.06)overall sleep quality,the lower perceived friend support(OR=4.66),and anxiety symp-toms(OR=1.74)among patients with neoplasms were risk factors for depressive symptoms.Conclusion:Patients with neoplasms generally might be at a high risk of depressive symptoms,especially for those patients with less ex-ercise,poor sleep quality,and low perceived social support.

Objective:To study the osseointegration and new bone formation of titanium implants treated by sandblasting acid etching combined with plasma spraying tantalum coating in rats.Methods:After polishing and cleaning of the pure titanium specimens(SLA),the tantalum coating was prepared by plasma spraying after sandblasting and acid etching(SLA-Ta).The surface feature of the samples was observed by SEM,EDS and contact angle meter.The samples of SLA and SLA-Ta were respectively implanted into femur condyle at each side of 18 SD rats(SLA group and SLA-Ta group),and the rats were double-fluorescent labeled after surgery.The rats were sacrificed 4 and 12 weeks after implantation respectively(n=9),the samples of implants and surrounding tissue were examined by mi-cro-CT scanning,fluorescence microscopy and histological staining,the new bone formation and osseointegration around the implant were analyzed.Results:Micro-nano Porous structureed tantalum coating was successfully prepared on the surface of SLA titanium.In vivo experiments showed that 4 and 12 weeks after implantation,the amount of new bone and osseointegration around the implant in the SLA-Ta group were significantly higher than those in the SLA group.Conclusion:The micro-nano multi-level structure formed by SLA combined with plasma sprayed tantalum can promote new bone formation,accelerate mineralization deposition,and improve the osseoin-tegration capacity of the implant.

Objective To investigate the risk factors affecting the malignancy of amorphous calcifications in the breast and to establish a predictive nomogram.Methods Patients with amorphous calcifications detected by mammography were retrospectively collected,clinical data were obtained from electronic medical record(EMR),and the mammographic features of the patients were assessed by diagnostic physicians.The risk factors affecting the malignancy of amorphous calcifications were analyzed to develop a predictive model and to assess the performance of the model.Results A total of 153 amorphous calcifications in 144 patients were included in the study,and the overall malignancy rate of calcifications was 20.92％.Patient's age ≥45 years,linear distribution of calcifications,unilateral single or unilateral multiple calcifications,and a larger maximum ratio of calcification extent all predicted a higher probability of malignancy,establishing a nomogram based on these 4 risk factors,with a 3.65％predicted probability of malig-nancy as the cut-off,33.99％(52/153)of patients were allowed to be spared biopsy.Conclusion Patient's age and the distribution,number,and maximum ratio of calcifications may be the risk predictors of malignancy for amorphous calcifications,with nomogram con-struction for distinguishing benignity from malignancy of amorphous calcifications via combining with mammographic features and clinical data.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Objective To observe the value of breast imaging reporting and data system(BI-RADS)classification combined with mammography(MG)radiomics for differentiating breast benign and malignant amorphous calcification lesions.Methods A total of 217 breast amorphous calcification lesions in 206 female patients,including 43 malignant and 174 benign ones were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into training set(n=151)and validation set(n=66)at the ratio of 7∶3.Then radiomics features were screened based on breast MG images.BI-RADS model,radiomics model and combined model were established,and the value of each model for distinguishing benign and malignant lesions was observed.Results Eight optimal radiomics features were selected.The area under the curve(AUC)of BI-RADS model,radiomics model and combined model for differentiating breast benign and malignant amorphous calcification lesions was 0.821,0.763 and 0.897 in training set,0.800,0.746 and 0.893 in validation set,respectively,AUC of combined model was significantly higher than that of the other two(both P＜0.05).Conclusion BI-RADS classification combined with MG radiomics was helpful for differential diagnosis of breast benign and malignant amorphous calcification lesions,with efficacy higher than that of each alone.

ObjectiveTo explore the application value of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) in assessing the severity of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and right heart function in rehabilitation patients. MethodsFrom January, 2013 to January, 2020, 133 inpatients (94 positive and 39 negative) who underwent CTPA examination in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were involved. Positive patients were further divided into mild, moderate and severe groups based on the pulmonary artery obstruction index (PAOI). The clinical parameters and right heart function indicators were compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between PAOI, and clinical parameters and right heart function indicators, and Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the risk factors of APE. ResultsThere was significant difference in lower extremity venous thrombosis, D-dimer, oxygen partial pressure, PAOI and left process of interventricular septum among four groups (H ≥ 12.350, P < 0.01). PAOI was moderately positively correlated with D-dimer (r = 0.443, P < 0.001) and left process of interventricular septum (r = 0.520, P < 0.001), and was weakly positively correlated with lower extremity venous thrombosis (r = 0.399, P < 0.001), left pulmonary artery diameter (r = 0.213, P = 0.014) and inferior vena cava regurgitation (r = 0.229, P = 0.008). Lower extremity venous thrombosis (OR = 7.708, P < 0.001) and left process of interventricular septum (OR = 3.641, P = 0.008) were independent risk factors for the onset of APE. The combination of the two indicators was effective for diagnosis of APE, and AUC was 0.795 (95% CI 0.715 to 0.874). ConclusionCTPA may be applied to evaluate the severity of APE and right heart function in rehabilitation patients.

Objective:To explore the effects of prenatal targeted psychological interventions combined with yoga on maternal anxiety, depression and maternal and infant outcomes.Methods:A total of 100 pregnant and puerperal women who were enrolled in Jining maternal and child health family planning service center from January 2021 to December 2022 and received regular prenatal care as required were selected as study subjects. According to the random number method, the subjects were divided into experimental and control groups, with 50 cases in each group. The experimental group was given targeted psychological interventions combined with yoga training, while the control group was given only traditional nursing. Then the differences of the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) score, the self-rating depression scale (SDS) score, the general self-efficacy scale (GSES) score, the maternal and infant outcomes, body mass index (BMI) and the satisfaction of postpartum women were compared between the two groups. SPSS 26.0 software was used for analysis. The χ2 test, independent sample t-test, paired sample t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After the intervention, the scores of SAS and SDS of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (SAS: (36.86±6.89), (44.12±11.04); SDS: (38.92±7.62), (48.20±10.44)), and the difference was statistically significant ( tSAS=-3.946, tSDS=-5.077, both P<0.05). Following the intervention, the GSES score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group ((2.92±0.49), (2.57±0.58)), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.246, P<0.05). After the intervention, the cesarean section rate and the birth rate of macrosomia in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group(10.0%, 26.0%; 4.0%, 16.0%), and the rate of breastfeeding was higher than that of the control group(86.0%, 68.0%), and the differences were statistically significant ( χcesarean2=4.336, χmacrosomia2=4.000, χbreastfeeding2=4.574, all P<0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the postpartum hemorrhage rate between the experimental group and the control group ( P>0.05). Following the intervention, BMI of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group((26.11±2.18)kg/m 2, (28.02±1.97)kg/m 2, ( t=-4.609, P<0.05). In addition, postpartum women in the experimental group were significantly more satisfied than those in the control group (96.0%, 82.0%; χ2=5.005, P<0.05). Conclusion:The combination of prenatal targeted psychological interventions and yoga can reduce maternal anxiety and depression during pregnancy, get body back in shape after having a baby, and improve self-efficacy, satisfaction and the maternal and infant outcomes.

Objective:To construct a virtual simulation training platform for peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC) catheterization and discuss its application in clinical training.Methods:A total of 118 nurses who attended the PICC professional and technical advanced training courses in a province in 2020 and 2021 were enrolled in this study. In 2020, the training was conducted in the form of theoretical teaching combined with practical training ( n=51), and in 2021, virtual simulation platform was introduced as a supplement on the basis of the original training ( n=67). SPSS 23.0 was used for independent-samples t-test to compare the theoretical and operational assessment results of the two years and evaluate the application effect of the platform. Through the satisfaction survey and learning log, the nurses' experience of using the platform was understood. Results:The theoretical performance and the operational performance of nurses who participated in the training in 2021 were (96.56±3.17) and (94.06±2.16) respectively, and the operational performance was better than that of nurses who participated in the training in 2020 ( t=-11.37, P<0.001), and the difference in theoretical performance was not statistically significant ( t=0.17, P=0.853). In 2021, 63 nurses (94.0%) who used the virtual simulation platform believed that the platform could assist to improve the training effect; 61 nurses (91.0%) expected the application of virtual simulation technology in the teaching and training of other knowledges. Conclusion:As a new teaching form, virtual simulation technology can significantly improve the training effect and satisfaction, and provide reference for the development of relevant teaching and training.
