Objective To analyze the correlation between anxiety symptoms and abnormal brain function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) under long-term chronic hypoxia. Methods Twenty-one patients with COPD complicated with anxiety were prospectively selected as COPD group, and 26 healthy individuals matched for gender and age were selected as control group. Both groups underwent high-resolution 3D-T1-weighted imaging (3D-T1WI), T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (T2-FLAIR), and blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) sequence examination. DPARSF and SPM8 software were used to analyze the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) in the brain of the two groups. Results In the COPD group, the ALFF value in the left parahippocampal gyrus-cingulate gyrus increased, and the ALFF value in the right superior frontal gyrus decreased (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis found that there was a negative correlation between the ALFF value in the right superior frontal gyrus and the anxiety score (r=-0.485, P=0.03). Conclusion Chronic hypoxic patients with COPD have brain functional impairment in the right superior frontal gyrus, and the degree of impairment is positively correlated with anxiety symptoms. There may also be compensatory enhancement of brain function activity in the parahippocampal gyrus-cingulate gyrus.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of three kinds of uterine barriers: cook balloon, Foley balloon and intrauterine devices in preventing re-adhesion after separation of moderate or severe intrauterine adhesions.Methods:Seven databases including PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane Library, China HowNet, Wanfang and CQVIP were used to retrieve, and the randomized controlled trials on the effect of using COOK balloon, Foley balloon and intrauterine devices to prevent re-adhesion after the separation of moderate and severe intrauterine adhesions were collected from the establishment of the database to December 2021. Revman 5.1 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:A total of 16 articles were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Meta analysis results showed that the rates of preventing postoperative re-adhesion, improving menstruation and pregnancy in COOK balloon were significantly better than those in intrauterine devices ( OR = 0.31, 2.75 and 1.58; 95% CI 0.19 to 0.49, 1.74 to 4.35 and 1.07 to 2.34; P<0.01); the rates of preventing postoperative re-adhesion, improving menstruation and pregnancy in Foley balloon were significantly better than those in intrauterine devices ( OR = 0.39, 1.90 and 1.73; 95% CI 0.27 to 0.57, 1.33 to 2.71 and 1.02 to 2.39; P<0.01 or <0.05). Conclusions:The use of COOK balloon and Foley balloon to prevent adhesion is better than the use of intrauterine devices in preventing re-adhesion in patients with moderate or severe intrauterine adhesions.

【Objective】 To introduce the key techniques of "one-cut" circumcision, and to compare its clinical efficacy with traditional circumcision. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on 120 cases of circumcision in our center during Jul.2020 and Jul.2022, including 60 cases in the "one-cut" group and 60 cases in the traditional circumcision group. The operation time, postoperative edema time, satisfaction with cosmetics and improvement of sexual life were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 Compared with the tradition group, the "one-cut" group had shorter operation time [(19.2±7.4) min vs. (23.1±1.7) min, P<0.001] , shorter postoperative edema time [(5.5±3.2) d vs. (9.6±5.5) d, P<0.001] , and higher satisfaction with cosmetics [(3.6±0.5) vs. (3.1±0.8), P<0.001)] , but there was no difference in improvement of sexual life between the two groups (P=0.08). 【Conclusion】 "One-cut" circumcision is easy to operate, with short operation time, fast postoperative recovery, neat incision and satisfactory appearance, which is worth popularizing.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of pulmonary infection in elderly (aged 60+ years) kidney transplant recipients.Methods:The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for 119 elderly kidney transplant recipients from January 2010 to January 2019 . According to whether or not pulmonary infection occurred after renal transplantation, the recipients were divided into infected group (n=40) and non-infected group (n=79). Clinical data was analyzed for two groups. The relevant risk factors of gender, age, donor type, body mass index, history of smoking, preoperative dialytic time, preoperative dialysis, immune induction, immune maintenance, presence or absence of delayed graft function, leucopenia, serum creatinine before infection, venous hormone shock therapy or not, diabetic history before or after surgery, history of coronary heart disease, history of hepatitis B virus, prophylactic dosing of compound sulfamethoxazole, prophylactic valganciclovir or ganciclovir, were examined by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:The incidence of pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients was 33.6% (40/119). In infected group, 15 patients died of severe pulmonary infection with a mortality rate of 37.5%(15/40). History of smoking (OR=10.58, 95%CI: 1.98-56.40, P=0.006), venous hormone shock therapy (OR=25.06, 95%CI: 4.25-147.71, P<0.001) and preoperative dialytic time (OR=1.032, 95%CI: 1.003-1.062, P=0.033) were the risk factors for pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients. Conclusions:The incidence and mortality of lung infection are higher in elderly kidney transplant recipients. Smoking history, venous hormone shock therapy and long preoperative dialytic are associated with pulmonary infection in elderly kidney transplant recipients.

Objective To summarize the clinical treatment experience of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) infection after renal transplantation in donation after cardiac death (DCD) era. Methods Clinical data of 10 donors and 17 recipients with CRKP infection after DCD renal transplantation from January 2015 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Both donors and recipients received bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. Clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome of CRKP-infected recipients were recorded. Results Seven donors were infected with CRKP. After pretreatment, CRKP in 2 cases turned negative, CRKP in 5 donors did not turn negative. All renal grafts were treated with tigecycline+meropenem+voriconazole lavage to prevent infection. Among 17 recipients with CRKP infection, 11 cases were positive for blood culture, 10 positive for urine culture, 3 positive for sputum culture, 3 positive for incisional secretion and 3 positive for retroperitoneal drainage. Clinical manifestations included fever in 8 cases, rupture and hemorrhage of the transplant renal artery in 7 cases or thrombosis in the transplant renal artery in 1 case, bladder irritation sign in 3 cases and cough with brick red jelly-like sputum in 1 case, respectively. Five patients were treated with tigecycline+meropenem, 1 patient suffered from renal graft loss and 4 recipients died. Twelve patients were treated with ceftazidime-avibactam +meropenem, 3 patients presented with renal graft loss and 1 recipient died. Conclusions CRKP-infected donor is not the absolute contraindication of renal transplantation. Pretreatment of donor infection and early administration of sufficient sensitive antibiotics can cure CRKP infection and improve the clinical prognosis of renal transplant recipients.

Objective:To discuss the diagnostic methods, clinical features and treatment options of bronchogenic cysts.Methods:A total of 86 patients with bronchogenic cysts and 5 patients with esophageal cysts and esophageal cysts were selected from January 2011 to May 2020 in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Harbin Medical University. There were 37 males and 49 females with bronchogenic cysts, aged 23 to 70(49.27±10.70)years old. According to the location of the disease, the patients were divided into mediastinal type(65 cases, 75.6%); intrapulmonary type(21 cases, 24.4%); bronchogenic cyst originating from the esophagus(9 cases, 10.5%).Results:The preoperative diagnosis coincidence rate was 9.3% in 8 cases. The rate of thoracoscopic surgery(59.3% in 51 cases), compared with the indwelling time of thoracic drainage tube after thoracotomy[(3.80±1.25) days vs.(4.97±1.54)days, P<0.001] and hospital stay[(7.08±1.75) days vs.(9.60±2.58)days, P<0.001] significantly shortened. 65 cases(71.4%, 65/91) were successfully followed up, with a median follow-up time of 34(2-111) months, and no recurrence was found. Conclusion:Bronchial cysts have no characteristic clinical manifestations, and it is difficult to make a clear diagnosis before surgery. Chest MRI has a great advantage in the diagnosis of cysts. For most cases, thoracoscopic surgery can achieve better clinical treatment results and has minimally invasive advantages. It is difficult to distinguish between bronchogenic cysts that originated in the esophagus and esophageal cysts, and there is no significant difference in clinical characteristics.

Objective:To explore the effects of sandplay combined with sensory integration therapy on cognitive function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Methods:60 children with ADHD diagnosed in Baoji Maternal and Child Health Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were randomly divided into study group and control group.The children in the control group were treated by sandplay, while the patients in the study group were treated by sandplay combined with sensory integration.Results:There was no significant difference in Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) score, Combined Raven Test (CRT) results and attention test results between the two groups before treatment ( P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in PSQ score of control group after treatment ( P>0.05); The behavioral problems (0.92±0.23), anxiety (0.51±0.26), impulse/hyperactivity (1.06±0.31) and hyperactivity index (0.88±0.14) in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group [behavioral problems (1.12±0.21), anxiety (0.79±0.45), impulse/hyperactivity (1.42±0.34) and hyperactivity index (1.16±0.17) ( P<0.05)]. There was no significant difference in the scores of mental disorders and learning problems between the two groups [(0.42±0.20), (1.28±0.44) vs (0.52±0.28), (1.37±0.48)] ( P>0.05). The results of CRT in the study group were (6.6±0.3, 7.3±0.2, 9.1±0.1, 5.5±0.2, 2.7±0.1, 117.3±4.4), which were higher than those in the control group (6.2± 0.1, 6.7±0.1, 8.7±0.1, 5.0±0.1, 2.2±0.1, 110.0±3.8) ( P<0.05). The slip time (52.4±0.1), error number (55.9±0.2) and missed report number (60.2 ±0.1) of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group [slip time (56.1±0.2), error number (60.3±0.1) and missed report number (70.8±0.3)] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Combination of sandplay and sensory integration can significantly improve the cognitive and behavioral abilities of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and improve the balance function of children, which is conducive to clinical application.

Objective:To explore the correlation between preoperative serum hyaluronic acid (HA) level and prognosis of breast cancer patients.Methods:The 98 patients with breast cancer who underwent surgical treatment in the Oncology Department of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2004 to November 2014 in a historical cohort were included, aged (52.5±9.4) years.The preoperative serum HA contents of the patients were detected. According to the median of 53.7 μg/L, the patients were divided into high and low groups with 49 patients in each group.The χ 2 test was used to analyze the correlation between the serum HA content and the general clinical data of the patients, and the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank test and multivariate Cox regression model wereusedto analyze the correlation between HA content and patients′ survival. Results:The percentages of patients with high HA levels in menopause and non-menopause patientswere 55.7% and 40.5%, respectively; in progesterone receptor (PR) positive and negative patients were 54.1% and 43.2%, respectively; in estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative patients were 45.7% and 60.7%, respectively; in Ki-67 positive and negative patients were 55.6% and 43.2%, respectively; in the tumor size stage TⅠ, TⅡ, TⅢ, and TⅣ patients were 50.0%, 41.7%, 72.7%, and 1/1, respectively; in lymph node metastasis and non-metastasispatients were 45.7% and 53.8%, respectively. There was no significant correlation between the level of HA and the menopausal status, the expressions of PR, ER and Ki-67, tumor size, and lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients (χ2=2.128, 1.086, 1.800, 1.485, 4.273, 0.656, P>0.05). Patients with high HA levels accounted for 30.9% of patients aged 52 years or less and 74.4% of patients older than 52 years (χ2=18.274, P=0.000); 43.4% of patients with early TNM and 72.7% of patients with advanced TNM (χ2=5.861, P=0.015); 45.2% of patients without distant metastasis and 78.6% of patients with distant metastasis (χ2=5.333, P=0.023); 38.1% of Her-2 negative patients and 58.9% of Her-2 positive patients(χ2=4.167, P=0.041); and the median survival of patients with high HA levels was 70 months, which was shorter than 83 months for patients with low HA levels (χ2=6.799, P=0.007). Therefore, ahigh HA content predicts an older age, a later tumor stage, higher risk of distant metastasis, positive expression of Her-2 and shorter survival. Multivariate Cox regression model analysis suggested that high levels of serum HA may be a risk factor for patients′ survival, with HR (95% CI) value of 9.98 (1.16-85.88) and P value of 0.036. Conclusion:The high level of preoperative serum HA has a certain correlation with the poor prognosis of breast cancer patients.
