BackgroundRumination can play a certain degree role of psychological adjustment in cancer patients. Previous studies have focused on studying the level of rumination in a single type of cancer patient， but there is a lack of comprehensive investigation and influencing factor research on rumination levels in different types of cancer patients. ObjectiveTo explore the level of rumination and its influencing factors among middle-advanced cancer inpatients， so as to provide certain guidance for targeted psychological care in clinical practice. MethodsFrom January 2021 to December 2022， a systematic sampling technique was used to recruit 346 patients with TNM stage III or above tumors hospitalized in Nuclear Industry 416 Hospital， Chengdu Sixth People's Hospital and the First People's Hospital of Yibin. All individuals were assessed using Perceived Social Support Scale （PSSS） and the Chinese version of Event-Related Ruminant Inventory （C-ERRI）， and Logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify the influencing factors of rumination. ResultsIn terms of C-ERRI， patients scored （15.59±5.61） on intrusive rumination and （14.59±5.43） on deliberate rumination. Education levels of junior high school/high school/vocational training school （OR=0.817， P<0.01） and junior college and above （OR=0.579， P<0.05） were the protective factors of intrusive rumination， whereas annual personal incomes of <10 000 yuan （OR=4.918， P<0.01） or 10 000~50 000 yuan （OR=2.076， P<0.01） and low （OR=6.882， P<0.01） or middle （OR=3.114， P<0.01） level of social support were the risk factors of intrusive rumination. For deliberate rumination， education levels of junior high school/high school/vocational training school （OR=0.574， P<0.01） and junior college and above （OR=0.449， P<0.05） were the protective factors， and low （OR=1.391， P<0.01） or middle （OR=1.161， P<0.05） levels of social support were the risk factors. ConclusionThe level of intrusive rumination of inpatients with middle-advanced cancer is related to education level， economic status and social support， furthermore， the level of deliberate rumination is related to the educational level and social support. ［Funded by Medical Research Project of Chengdu Health Commission （ number， 2020119）］

Objective To study the inhibitory effect and related mechanisms of Qiangxin Capsule on fi-brosis caused by Wnt(wingless)/β-catenin signaling pathway in Sprague Dawley(SD)heart failure(HF)rats.Methods Fifteen SPF-grade SD male rats aged 6-8 weeks were selected as the research subjects.The rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group,model group and medication group,5 cases in each group.The model group and medication group caused abdominal aorta partial stenosis by operation.The rats in the sham operation group and model group were gavaged by 10 mL/kg of normal saline,the rats in the medication group were gavaged by 0.8 g/kg Qiangxin Capsule,and each group was continuously administered for 20 weeks.The ventricular wall motion amplitude was used to detect the left ventricular ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVEDs)and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDd)in each group.After 20 weeks,the rats in each group were executed,the rat myocardial tissues were taken for conducting the pathological analysis,the myocardial tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,the fibrous tissues were observed by the Masson staining,and the protein expression levels of Wnt,β-catenin,collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ were detected by Western blot.Results LVEF in the medication group was higher than that in the model group,LVEDd and LVEDs were smaller than those in the model group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the Wnt/GAPDH and β-catenin/GAPDH levels in the medication group were decreased,and the difference was statisti-cally significant(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,the collagen Ⅰ/GAPDH and collagen Ⅲ/GAP-DH in the medication group were decreased,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclu-sion Qiangxin Capsule could alleviate the cardiac fibrosis degree in SD rats with heart failure after abdominal aortal coarctation,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a severe congenital disorder characterized by vaginal hypoplasia caused by dysplasia of the Müllerian duct. Patients with MRKH syndrome often require nonsurgical or surgical treatment to achieve satisfactory vaginal length and sexual outcomes. The extracellular matrix has been successfully used for vaginal reconstruction. METHODS: In this study, we developed a new biological material derived from porcine vagina (acellular vaginal matrix, AVM) to reconstruct the vagina in Bama miniature pigs. The histological characteristics and efficacy of acellularization of AVM were evaluated, and AVM was subsequently transplanted into Bama miniature pigs to reconstruct the vaginas. RESULTS: Macroscopic analysis showed that the neovaginas functioned well in all Bama miniature pigs with AVM implants. Histological analysis and electrophysiological evidence indicated that morphological and functional recovery was restored in normal vaginal tissues. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the neovaginas had mucosal folds characteristics of normal vagina. No significant differences were observed in the expression of CK14, HSP47, and a-actin between the neovaginas and normal vaginal tissues. However, the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) was significantly lower in the neovaginas than in normal vaginal tissues. In addition, AVM promoted the expression of b-catenin, c-Myc, and cyclin D1. These results suggest that AVM might promotes vaginal regeneration by activating the b-catenin/cMyc/cyclin D1 pathway. CONCLUSION This study reveals that porcine-derived AVM has potential application for vaginal regeneration.

Objective To investigate the influence of PET/CT imaging conditions (acquisition time, bed overlap, reconstruction matrix, iteration times, filter kernel size, and attenuation correction) on the spatial resolution of images. Methods Two PET/CT devices, GE Discovery Elite and GE Discovery ST-16, were used to scan the elliptical column resolution model in one and two beds (list mode, acquisition time of 6 min). Images were reconstructed under the commonly used clinical reconstruction conditions (Elite: VPFX-S algorithm, ST-16: VUE Point HD algorithm) at 1-6 min/bed, different iteration times of 2-10 times, different filter kernel sizes of 2.0-10.0 mm (Elite), and different reconstruction matrices, with attenuation correction or not. The spatial resolution of reconstructed PET images was represented by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the line spread function. Results Under the clinical acquisition conditions, when the acquisition time was 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 4 min, 5 min, and 6 min, the FWHM_Elite of spatial resolution at the center of field of view was (4.06 ± 0.08) mm, (4.05 ± 0.20) mm, (4.01 ± 0.01) mm, (4.05 ± 0.07) mm, (4.05 ± 0.03) mm, and (4.08 ± 0.06) mm, and the FWHM_ST-16 was (5.76 ± 0.12) mm, (5.72 ± 0.11) mm, (5.74 ± 0.09) mm, (5.78 ± 0.05) mm, (5.75 ± 0.09) mm, and (5.77 ± 0.07) mm. When the phantom was located in the center of one bed and the overlap of two beds, the line FWHM_Elite at the center was (4.04 ± 0.01) mm and (4.04 ± 0.01) mm, and the FWHM_ST-16 was (5.39 ± 0.19) mm and (5.38 ± 0.07) mm, respectively. The FWHM_Elite at the center was (4.07 ± 0.18) mm, (4.25 ± 0.10) mm, and (4.73 ± 0.08) mm at the matrices of 256 × 256, 192 × 192, and 128 × 128, respectively. The FWHM_Elite at the center was (4.65 ± 0.43) mm, (4.77 ± 0.27) mm, (4.02 ± 0.01) mm, (4.11 ± 0.04) mm, and (9.94 ± 0.01) mm at the filter kernel sizes of 2.0 mm-10.0 mm (interval of 2.0 mm), respectively. The FWHM_Elite at the center was (4.17 ± 0.27) mm, (4.27 ± 0.21) mm, (4.11 ± 0.05) mm, (4.18 ± 0.04) mm, and (4.12 ± 0.06) mm at 2-10 iterations (interval of 2 times), respectively. The FWHM_Elite at the center was (4.14 ± 0.01) mm and (4.18 ± 0.08) mm with and without attenuation correction, respectively. At the same acquisition time and bed, the spatial resolution of Elite images was improved by about 40.57% compared with that of ST-16 images. Conclusion The spatial resolution of images obtained at the matrix of 256 × 256 is higher than that of images obtained at the matrices of 192 × 192 and 128 × 128 in the same model. Elite images have the best spatial resolution at the reconstruction filter kernel size of 6.0 mm. Under the same imaging conditions, Elite images show significantly better spatial resolution compared with ST-16 images. Acquisition time, overlap of beds, iteration times, and attenuation correction have no significant effect on the spatial resolution of PET images.

Objective:To explore the effect of "321" health education model in elderly patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures (OTF) .Methods:From January 2019 to June 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 112 elderly patients after OTF surgery in Hefei First People's Hospital as the research object. The patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method, 56 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing and health education for patients after OTF surgery, while the experimental group was given "321" health education. The scores of Health Behavior Questionnaire, incidence of complications, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups before intervention and after 6 months follow-up.Results:There were 54 and 51 patients in the experimental group and the control group, respectively, who completed the study. After 6 months of follow-up, the total score and the dimension scores of the Health Behavior Questionnaire in the two groups were higher than those before the intervention, except for the other behavior dimension, the total score of the Health Behavior Questionnaire and the scores of other dimensions in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, all differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidence of complications in the experimental group (3.70%, 2/54) was lower than that in the control group (15.69%, 8/51) , and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.669, P=0.031) . The total score and the dimension scores of quality of life in the two groups were lower than those before education, and the total score and the dimension scores of quality of life in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The "321" health education model in elderly patients after OTF surgery is beneficial to promote the osteoporosis prevention and health behavior of elderly patients after OTF surgery, reduce the occurrence of complications after OTF surgery, and improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective: To identify problems and demands for antenatal care (ANC) among pregnant women in different trimesters of pregnancy in Shanghai for optimizing ANC service during the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods: Organized by Maternal and Child Health Care institute in the 16 districts of Shanghai, a cross sectional study was conducted among pregnant women who came to pregnancy registration in the community health centers or attended ANC in maternity hospitals from February 7 to February 12, 2020. Consented participating women completed a semi-structured online questionnaire voluntarily. Data was analyzed using frequency and scoring, chi-square test. Results: A total of 2 002 valid questionnaires were collected from 183 community health centers and 67 midwifery hospitals. About 94.6% of the pregnant women worried about being infected during the COVID-19 epidemic, and 14.7% demanded for psychological consultation. Appointment ANC services were requested by 87.7% of the participants for avoiding presenting themselves in people-density places. Compared with other pregnancy trimesters, pregnant women in the second trimester were more willing to reduce the frequency of ANC (48.1% VS. 39.5% VS. 35.2%, P<0.01). Compared with multiparas, primiparas were more willing to have online consultation and guidance (63.8% VS. 49.2%, P<0.01). Regarding the needs for health knowledge on COVID-19, personal protection against 2019-nCoV was the most concerned for pregnant women, and 71.0% of them preferred to obtain knowledge through health applications, official Weibo and WeChat. Conclusions Pregnant women in Shanghai critically concern about the risk of 2019-nCoV infections, and highly demand knowledge and measures on prevention and protection from COVID-19. They ask for having time-lapse appointments for ANC and online access to health information and services. Maternal and Child Care institutes should understand the demands of pregnant women, optimize the means of ANC service, and provide tailored and accessible health education and service for the safety of mother and child.

Objective:To assess the health status and health service utilization of children born to syphilis infected mothers during pregnancy, in order to prevent mother-to-child transmission of syphilis to the newborns.Methods:Women with maternal syphilis were studied by trained researchers via phone calls, in Shanghai during 2014-2015. Data related to demographics, status of infection and health care, utilization by both mothers and their children were collected through specifically designed questionnaires. Non-parametric tests including chi-square were used to assess the health status and health service utilization of children born to mothers with different demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.Results:A total of 495 children born to mothers with maternal syphilis were recruited from 1 000 syphilis infected parturient women. A total of 61 out of the 495 children were diagnosed as having congenital syphilis (57 children were diagnosed at birth and another 4 were diagnosed during the follow-up period). Children born to women who received syphilis treatment during pregnancy were at lower risk on congenital syphilis ( χ2=7.214, P=0.027). 37.8 % of the children were reported to have had different illnesses in the past three months, mainly involving upper respiratory infections (32.3 %) or diarrhea (3.6 %). Children diagnosed with congenital syphilis showed a higher prevalence of different kinds of diseases, compared to those without congenital syphilis (47.5 % vs. 36.6 %). 81.6 % of the children had received regular child health care services. Subjects with the following factors as: being immigrant, with lower education, unemployed, unmarried and multipara, were related to the less use of regular child healthcare services. Only 39.7 % of the parents would inform the care-takers about the risk of congenital syphilis infection of their own children at the child health care centers. Mothers with residency of Shanghai, having higher education level and employed, were less willing to inform doctors about the risk of congenital syphilis infection of their children. Conclusions:Loss to follow-up among children born to syphilis infected pregnant women remained a serious problem. Few parents would be willing to inform the healthcare takers that their children are at risk of syphilis, when receiving child health care services at the centers. It was necessary to integrate the congenital syphilis follow-up programs into the routine child care services so as to timely diagnose and treat the patients with congenital syphilis.

Objective To analyze the factors associated with syphilis treatment compliance and adverse pregnant outcomes among pregnant women with syphilis in Shanghai.Methods The prospective cohort was established based on maternal syphilis monitoring system of Shanghai,which included all the pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis during Jan 2013 to Dec 2015.A total of 1 717 pregnant women with syphilis were recruited at the baseline,and 1 147 of them were followed up during treatment and their pregnancy,and the delivery outcomes were recorded.The information of testing/treatment of pregnant women with syphilis and health outcomes of infants were collected.Chi-square test was used for univariate analysis and logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with syphilis treatment and adverse pregnant outcomes.Results A total of 685 participants received syphilis treatment during pregnancy,with the treatment rate of 59.7％.Among them,397 (34.6％) patients underwent two courses of complete treatment.The poor educated,unemployed/job-waiting or multipara population had poor compliance to treatment.Only 34.9％ (142/407) of cases diagnosed at last trimester received syphilis treatment and 10.1％ (41/407) completed the treatment.The proportion of non-treponemal conversion were higher in subjects who received syphilis treatment during pregnancy than those who did not (39.1％ [268/285] vs 3.7％ [17/462]).Complete syphilis treatment during pregnancy was protective factor to decrease neonatal death adjusted relative risk ([aRR] =0.05,95％ CI:0.01-0.37,P =0.003) and prematurity/low birth weight (aRR =0.44,95％ CI:0.27-0.70,P =0.001).Strong positive non-treponemal result before delivery increased the risks of neonatal death (aRR =12.89,95％ CI:1.70-100.43,P =0.014) and prematurity/low birth weight (aRR =12.78,95％ CI:152-5.06,P =0.001).Conclusions Factors such as educational level,employment status,and maternal history will affect the compliance of syphilis treatment during pregnancy.Early diagnosis and complete treatment course of syphilis could improve the pregnant outcomes and the health status of infants.

Objective To explore the relationship between different types of female reproductive system dysplasia and age of visit, clinical manifestations, common types of combined malformations and endometriosis. Methods The patient′s medical records in the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2002 to June 2016 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 924 cases of genital tract dysplasia, uterine dysplasia (65.3%, 824/1 261) was the most common, followed by vaginal dysplasia (28.3%, 357/1 261), hymen atresia and urogenital fistula (3.7%, 47/1 261), and cervical dysplasia (2.6%, 33/1 261). (1) The youngest age was in patients with hymen atresia and urogenital fistula, with a median of 14.5 years old, while the older age were in patients with uterine, vaginal and cervical dysplasia, with median age of 25.0, 24.0 and 23.0 years old, respectively. (2) The clinical manifestations were lack of specificity, mainly abnormal findings of physical examination or accessory examination, primary amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, infertility, adverse pregnancy history. (3) About other systemic malformations, urological malformations were the most common (4.8%, 44/924), followed by spinal malformations (0.5%, 5/924), inguinal hernia (0.4%, 4/924), heart malformations (0.2%, 2/924), cleft lip and palate (0.2%, 2/924). Oblique vaginal septal syndrome and MRKH syndrome were the most likely to be associated with other system malformations. (4) About combination with endometriosis, there was no significant difference between obstructive genital tract malformations (2.3%, 9/385) and non obstructive genital tract malformations (1.7%, 9/539; P=0.469). Conclusions Female reproductive system dysplasia is the most common in uterine dysplasia, followed by vaginal dysplasia, hymen atresia and urogenital fistula, and cervical dysplasia. The age of visit is generally older, often found by abnormal findings of physical examination or accessory examination, primary amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, infertility, adverse pregnancy history;and could be combined with a variety of other system malformations, most seen by urinary system malformations,there is also the risk of endometriosis.
