Objective:To explore the changes in cardiac rehabilitation information needs of patients undergoing cryobaiioon ablation (CBA) for atrial fibrillation, analyze the influencing factors of different trajectory categories, so as to provide reference for rehabilitation guidance.Methods:From January 2022 to April 2023, convenience sampling was used to select patients who were planning to undergo CBA in the Cardiovascular Department at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University as participants. Patients were surveyed using the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation Scale at one day before surgery (T0), one month after surgery (T1), three months after surgery (T2), and six months after surgery (T3) .Results:A total of 257 questionnaires were distributed, and 218 valid questionnaires were collected. The total scores of the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation Scale for 218 patients at T0, T1, T2, and T3 were (187.86±35.28), (183.27±34.98), (174.03±34.01), and (167.35±33.96), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in the total scores of the Information Needs in Cardiac Rehabilitation Scale among 218 patients at different time points ( F=18.237, P<0.01). Four potential trajectory categories were fitted, namely the sustained medium high need group (40.83%, 89/218), the medium high need-decline group (36.70%, 80/218), the medium low need-improvement group (7.34%, 16/218), and the medium low need-decline group (15.14%, 33/218). Age, whether to merge underlying chronic diseases, place of residence, social support, and postoperative complications were potential trajectory factors affecting the cardiac rehabilitation information needs of atrial fibrillation patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Medical and nursing staff should assess the development trajectory of patients' cardiac rehabilitation information needs as early as possible, emphasize the importance of cardiac rehabilitation, establish remote and controllable cardiac rehabilitation programs, encourage rural residents to participate in local community related cardiac rehabilitation activities, mobilize patients' social support resources, and improve their needs and compliance with cardiac rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the effect of acupuncture at Yangming meridian combined with modified Buyang Huanwu Decoction on hemiplegia,hemorheology and neurotrophic factors in pa-tients with cerebral infarction differentiated as type of Qi deficiency and blood stasis.Methods A to-tal of 84 hospitalized patients with cerebral infarction differentiated as type of Qi deficiency and blood stasis from March 2018 to June 2023 were selected as research objects,and they were randomly divid-ed into observation group and control group,with 42 cases in each group.The control group was con-ducted with acupuncture and routine treatment,while the observation group was conducted with modi-fied Buyang Huanwu Decoction on the basis of the control group.Clinical efficacy after 2 weeks of treatment as well as the scores of main symptoms,neurological function,limb function,hemorheologi-cal indicators and levels of neurotrophic factors before and after treatment were compared between two groups.Results After 2 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was sig-nificantly higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05);after treatment,the scores of symptoms such as hemiplegia,deviated mouth and awkward speech in both groups decreased significantly when compared to those before treatment,and these scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the score of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)in both groups decreased significantly when compared to that before treat-ment,and the score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05);the score of the Motor Function Assessment Scale(Fugl-Meyer)after treatment in both groups was significantly higher than that before treatment,and the observation group was significant-ly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the plasma viscosity,red blood cell aggregation index,whole blood high shear viscosity and whole blood low shear viscosity in both groups decreased significantly when compared to those before treatment,and these indexes in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the levels of serum brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),nerve growth factor(NGF)and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF)in both groups increased significant-ly when compared to those before treatment,and the levels of these indexes in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at Yangming meridian combined with modified Buyang Huanwu Decoction can enhance the therapeutic effect for patients with cerebral infarction differentiated as type of Qi deficiency and blood stasis,im-prove clinical symptoms,repair nerve damage,and promote the recovery of limb function.

Abstract Myopia is a common refractive error in the process of development. With the high incidence and low age of myopia in children and adolescents, it has become a worldwide public health problem, seriously endangering physical and mental health. The prevention and control of myopia has a long way to go. Low concentration atropine, as an M type choline receptor inhibitor, has been proved by medical research to effectively delay the progress of myopia. This paper reviews the relevant studies at home and abroad in recent years. The optimal concentration of low concentration atropine, the best clinical regimen and possible potential side effects were discussed. From the point of view of school public health, this paper discusses the significance of low concentration atropine for the prevention and control of myopia among school age students, in order to provide a reliable basis and new ideas for the follow up clinical application of atropine and myopia prevention and control strategies for school students.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced low and middle rectal cancer,and evaluate the effect of related clinical factors upon the long-term survival. Methods Clinical data of 101 patients with locally advanced low and middle rectal cancer admitted to our hospital from January 1,2010 to December 31,2014 were collected. All patients completed the preoperative intensity-modulated radiation therapy DT45-50. 4 Gy,synchronized with oxaliplatin+capecitabine/5-fluorouracil or single drug capecitabine chemotherapy,and total mesorectal excision) was performed 4-13 weeks after the end of the neoadjuvant therapy. The short-term efficacy and long-term prognosis of these patients were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis,and Cox’s regression model for multivariate analysis. Results The total sphincter preservation rate was 53. 5%.The decrease rates of T,N staging and TNM total staging were 73. 26%,67. 32% and 72. 3%,respectively. The pathological complete response ( pCR) rate was 16. 8%.The median follow-up time was 41 months. The 3-year overall survival (OS), desease-free survival (DFS),local recurrence and distant metastases rates were 82. 2%,80. 7%,7. 2% and 12. 1%,respectively. The single factor analysis demonstrated that ypT and ypN stages were the risk factors affecting the 3-year OS,DFS anddistant metastases ( all P＜0. 05).Multivariate analysis revealed that ypT stage was an independent factor affecting the 3-year OS,and ypT and ypN stages were the independent factors of the 3-year DFS ( all P＜ 0. 05 ). ConclusionsNeoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy combined with TME in the treatment of locally advanced middle and low rectal cancer can partially decrease the tumor staging,enhance the sphincter preservation rate and improve long-term clinical prognosis. Both ypT and ypN stages are correlated with the clinical prognosis of patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between accessory renal artery(ARA)and essential hypertension,and the possible mechanism using CT angiography(CTA).Methods The patients who underwent CTA examination on renal artery were reviewed retrospectively in our hospital.A variety of CTA reconstruction techniques were used to observe the type and number of ARA,as well as the diameter of ARA and the main renal artery.Results A total of 126 ARA(66 left ARA and 60 right ARA)were found in 253 patients. 10% of the patients had more than two ARAs.In 164 patients with essential hypertension,ARA detection rate was 40.2%(66/164).In the non-hypertension patients,the proportion of ARA was 31.5%(28/89).There was higher proportion of young(P=0.002)and male (P=0.022)patients in ARA hypertension group compared with ARA non-hypertension group.There were no significant differences on the prevalence of type(P=0.826)and number of ARA(P=0.501)between these two groups.In all of the patients with single ARA,no significant differences were detected on the ratios of diameter of ARA and main renal artery between the two groups(P=0.32). However,in ARA hypertension group,the diameter of main renal artery on the ARA side was significantly smaller than that on the opposite side(P=0.01).In non-hypertension ARA group,no statistical difference was found between the diameter of bilateral main renal arteries(P=0.06).Conclusion ARA is more prevalent in essential hypertensive patients,especially in young male.The decrease of the diameter of main renal artery in the ARA side may be a possible mechanism for essential hypertension.

Survival of patient was prolonged through a comprehensive therapy and nursing, and the patient was successfully discharged.

This study examined the wave intensity (WI) of the carotid artery in patients with hyperthyroid in order to assess the hemodynamic changes of hyperthyroid patients. A total of 86 hyperthyroid patients without cardiac morphological changes and arrhythmia, and 80 healthy control subjects were enrolled in the study. Right common carotid artery (RCCA) was selected for ultrasonic imaging to obtain WI indices, including amplitude of the peak during early systole (W1), amplitude of the peak during late systole (W2), area of the negative wave during mid-systole (NA), interval between R wave of electrocardiogram and W1 (R-1st), interval between W1 and W2 (1st-2nd). The levels of serum thyroid hormones, consisting of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxin (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), were measured in hyperthyroid patients. Echocardiographic indices including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fraction shortening (LVFS) were determined in each subject. The results showed that the W1, W2, NA, and (1st-2nd×HR) in hyperthyroid patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. There was no significant difference in LVEF and LVFS between the two groups. FT3 was correlated with W1, W2, NA, (1st-2nd×HR), pulse pressure (PP) and heart rate (HR) in hyperthyroid patients. Several abnormal waves on WI curves were present in 19 hyperthyroid patients during mid-systole. It was concluded that WI technique may prove a real-time, noninvasive, sensitive and convenient tool for assessing the cardiac function and hemodynamic alterations in hyperthyroid patients.

The results showed that the WI, W2, NA, and (lst-2nd×HR) in hyperthyroid patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls. There was no significant difference in LVEF and LVFS between the two groups. FT3 was correlated with WI, W2, NA,(lst-2nd×HR), pulse pressure (PP) and heart rate (HR) in hyperthyroid patients. Several abnormal waves on WI curves were present in 19 hyperthyroid patients during mid-systole. It was concluded that WI technique may prove a real-time, noninvasive, sensitive and convenient tool for assessing the cardiac function and hemodynamic alterations in hyperthyroid patients.

lusions WI parameters reflect both cardiac and vascular changes of hyperthyroid patients. Mid-systolic hemodynamic turbulence appears in a portion of hyperthyroid patients.
