Objective:To discuss the clinical characteristic and treatment of laryngeal cysts in infants. Methods:The clinical data of 19 patients diagnosed with laryngeal cysts in Department of Otolaryngology, Sichuan Provincial Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from November 2017 to April 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:All of the 19 patients were diagnosed as laryngeal cysts, with clinical manifestations included respiratory distress, inspiratory dyspnea, difficulty in feeding and low and weak crying, etc. All of them were cured after surgical treatment. Conclusion:Misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis of laryngeal cysts are prone to occur in infants and young children. After diagnosis, patients should undergo early surgical treatment to remove airway obstruction and improve ventilation.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-management efficacy between social support and self-management behavior in cancer patients treated with proton-heavy ions.Methods:From April 2020 to April 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 674 cancer patients in Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center as the research subject. The patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Chronic Disease Self-Management Study Measures (CDSMS) , Chinese-version Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (C-SUPPH) , and Medical Outcome Study Social Support Survey (MOS-SSS) . Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 24.0 and AMOS 24.0 software. Pearson correlation was used to calculate the correlation between variables, and a structural equation model was constructed to test the relationship between variables. A total of 674 questionnaires were distributed, 610 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the valid recovery rate was 90.5% (610/674) .Results:The total scores of self-management behavior, self-management efficacy, and social support in 610 cancer patients treated with proton heavy ions were (18.38±7.64) , (94.30±22.72) and (73.97±13.94) , respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that except for the dimension of life support with dimension of exercise, all the other dimension scores and the total score of patients' social support were positively correlated with all the dimension scores and the total score of self-management behaviors ( P<0.05) ; the dimension scores and the total score of patients' social support were positively correlated with the dimension scores and the total score of self-management efficacy ( P<0.05) ; the dimension scores and the total score of patients' self-management efficacy were positively correlated with the dimension scores and the total score of self-management behavior ( P<0.05) . Self-management efficacy had a partial mediating effect between social support and medical staff communication behavior, with an effect value of 23.4% ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Cancer patients treated with proton-heavy ions have poor levels of self-management behavior. Nurses can improve the patients' self-efficacy and enhance the impact of social support on the patients' self-management behavior, so as to promote the precise realization and timely completion of proton heavy ion therapy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of chest pain center construction in basic-level hospitals on treatment time and short-term prognosis in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction.Methods:A total of 162 patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction who received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in The First People's Hospital of Jiande between November 2014 and November 2018 were included in this study. Among them, 66 patients who received treatment in The First People's Hospital of Jiande between November 2014 and October 2016 were included in the control group. The remaining 96 patients who received treatment between November 2016 and November 2018 were included in the study group. The underlying diseases, PCI success rate, first medical contact-to-balloon time, door-to-balloon time, in-hospital mortality, incidence of heart failure on the next day of PCI, length of hospital stay, hospital medical cost were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were no significant differences in underlying disease composition ratio and PCI success rate between the two groups (both P > 0.05). There were significant differences in first medical contact-to-balloon time [(185.2 ± 53.7) minutes vs. (108.6 ± 46.4) minutes, t = 6.128], door-to-balloon time [(121.5 ± 23.2) minutes vs. (68.7 ± 14.3) minutes, t = 7.341], length of hospital stay [(10.3 ± 3.5) days vs. (7.2 ± 2.8) days, t = 5.128], hospital medical cost [(43 582.0 ± 7 186.5) yuan vs. (35 479.0 ± 4 213.1) yuan, t = 8.361], in-hospital mortality [6.1% vs. 3.1%, χ2 = 4.784], the incidence of heart failure on the next day of PCI [13.6% vs. 4.2%, χ2 = 8.253] between the control and study groups (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Establishment of a standardized chest pain center construction in basic-level hospital can greatly shorten the first medical contact-to-balloon time, door-to-balloon time and length of hospital stay, improve the cardiac function and prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction, and reduce medical cost.

Objective:To compare the short-term clinical effect of arthroscopic and open reduction and internal fixation with Herbert screws in treatment of Mason type II radial head fractures.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 38 patients with unilateral radial head fractures (Mason type II) admitted to Shanghai Zhongye Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018, including 22 males and 16 females, aged from 20 to 65 years [(37.4±12.6)years]. Twenty patients were treated by arthroscopic reduction and internal fixation with Herbert screw (Group A), and eighteen by open reduction and internal fixation with Herbert screw (Group B). The operation time and fracture healing time were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS), elbow flexion and extension range, forearm rotation range and Mayo elbow function score were compared between the two groups before and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation. The results of Mayo elbow performance score (MEPS) and upper limb function assessment using the disabilites of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) score were compared between the two groups. Complications including screw breakage or fracture displacement were also evaluated.Results:All patients were followed up for 12-14 months [(12.3±2.3)months]. There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time was (8.9±0.6)weeks in Group A and (8.7±0.6)weeks in Group B ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The VAS was (4.8±0.5)points at 1 month after operation in Group A, lower than (6.0±0.7)points in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS between Group A and Group B at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in elbow flexion and extension range between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The elbow flexion and extension range in Group A was (110.4±3.8)° and (137.1±4.0)° at 1, 3 months after operation, which was significant greater than (90.6±4.7)° and (125.1±3.5)° in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in elbow flexion and extension range between the two groups at 6 and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the range of forearm rotation between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The range of forearm rotation in Group A was (107.1±2.8)° and (138.1±2.9)° at 1, 3 months after operation, significantly greater than (95.5±3.9)°, (121.5±3.0)° in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in forearm rotation range between the two groups at 6 and 12 months after surgery ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in MEPS between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The MEPS in Group A was (50.4±3.8)points at 1 month after operation, higher than (40.6±4.7)points in Group B ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MEPS between the two groups at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in DASH score between the two groups before operation ( P>0.05). The DASH score was (57.1±2.8)points at 1 month after surgery in Group A, higher than (42.5±3.9)points in Group B ( P<0.05). The DASH score was not significantly different between the two groups at 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was no screw loosening or fracture after operation, and one patient in each group had fracture displacement ( P>0.05). Conclusion:For Mason type II radial head fractures, arthroscopic Herbert screw fixation has the advantages of less trauma, less pain and faster functional recovery of the affected limb compared with open reduction and Herbert screw fixation.

Objective:To compare the curative efficacy in the treatment of humeral surgical neck fractures between open reduction and locking plating versus closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing.Methods:From July 2018 to July 2020, 60 patients with humeral surgical neck fracture were treated at Department of Orthorpaedic Trauma, Jiangmen Wuyi Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. They were 24 males and 36 females, aged from 40 to 70 years and injured at the left side in 35 cases and at the right side in 25 ones. Of them, 30 underwent open reduction and locking plating (open group) and the other 30 closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing (closed group). The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, surgical incision length, fracture healing time, Neer shoulder function scoring 3 months after surgery, and postoperative complications.Results:There were no statistically significant differences between the open and closed groups in preoperative general data, showing they were comparable ( P>0.05). The length of surgical incision [(5.2±1.1) cm], operation time [(34.3±12.7) min], intraoperative blood loss [(52.5±7.3) mL] and fracture healing time [(9.2±1.5) weeks] in the closed group were significantly better than those in the open group [(11.1±2.5) cm, (69.4±21.4) min, (123.5±5.2) mL and (14.2±3.4) weeks)] ( P<0.05). The excellent and good rate by Neer shoulder function scoring at 3 months after operation in the closed group (93.3%, 28/30) was significantly higher than that in the open group (66.7%, 20/30) ( P<0.05). There were no postoperative complications in either group. Conclusion:In the treatment of humeral surgical neck fractures, the curative efficacy of closed reduction and interlocking intramedullary nailing is better than that of open reduction and locking plating.

Objective:To investigate the related factors affecting intraoperative blood loss in patients with spinal tumors undergoing preoperative selective arterial embolization.Methods:The clinical data of 90 patients with spinal tumors who underwent preoperative selective arterial embolization in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2017 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The influencing factors of intraoperative bleeding were analyzed by using multiple linear regression.Results:There were statistically significant differences in intraoperative blood loss of spinal tumor patients undergoing preoperative selective arterial embolization with different blood supply abundance and the number of tumors involving vertebral body (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index, interval after embolization, operation time, pathological type, tumor site, embolization degree, the number of embolized vessels, preoperative Frankel grade among different groups (all P > 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of tumors involving vertebral body and tumor blood supply abundance were factors affecting intraoperative blood loss, and vertebra number and tumor blood supply were positively correlated with intraoperative blood loss (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:For patients with spinal tumors undergoing preoperative selective arterial embolization, the number of tumors involving vertebral body and the abundance of the tumor blood supply are factors affecting the amount of intraoperative bleeding.

Objective:To analyze the prevalence and associated factors of malnutrition among children under 6 years of age in Hunan province.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A combination of multistage stratified cluster sampling and systematic sampling approach was used to recruit 10 442 children aged 0-71 months from 144 communities (villages) across 48 streets(towns) in 24 districts(counties) from Hunan province between August and November 2019. Data concerning the children and their mothers, caregivers, and family conditions was collected using unified questionnaire, with the lengths/heights and weights of the children being measured using unified instruments. The length/height for age, weight for age, weight for length/height, and body mass index for age Z scores were calculated and used to evaluate the prevalence of children′s stunting, underweight, and wasting. The chi-square test was used to compare the prevalence of malnutrition among children with different characteristics. The multivariate Logistic regression model was used to conduct multivariate analysis for childrens′ malnutrition.Results:The prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) among children under 6 years of age was 6.8% (710/10 442), and the prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting were 3.1% (328/10 442), 2.7% (280/10 442), and 3.3% (343/10 442), respectively. Rural areas ( OR=1.60), older age of children (compared with children of 0-11 months, the OR for 12-23, 24-35, 36-47, 48-59, and 60-71 months were 1.42, 1.75, 1.55, 1.70, and 1.88, respectively), low birth weight ( OR=2.72), caregivers of minority ethnicity ( OR=1.95), and large family size ( OR=1.25) were risk factors for children′s PEM. Rural areas and low birth weight were risk factors for stunting in children ( OR=2.13 and 3.28). Rural areas, low birth weight, caregivers of minority ethnicity, and large family size were risk factors for underweight in children ( OR=2.57, 3.34, 1.86, and 1.32). Rural areas ( OR=1.43), older age of children (compared with children of 0-11 months, the OR for 24-35, 36-47, 48-59, and 60-71 months were 1.63, 1.80, 1.84 and 2.17, respectively), low birth weight ( OR=2.36), caregivers of minority ethnicity ( OR=2.88), and large family size ( OR=1.42) were risk factors for children′s wasting. Higher education level of caregivers was a common protective factor for PEM, stunting, and underweight ( OR=0.85, 0.76, and 0.82). Conclusions:The prevalence of stunting, underweight, and wasting among children under 6 years of age in Hunan province were all at a low level. Nevertheless, the urban-rural differences still existed, with these prevalence being affected by children age, birth weight, ethnicity of caregivers, education level, and family size.

On October 3rd, 2017, one male patient, aged 27 years, was admitted to our hospital 6 hours after hydrothermal scald of torso, buttocks, and limbs. The total area of burn was about 60% total body surface area, and the depth was from deep partial-thickness burn to full-thickness burn. Immediately after admission, the patient was given symptomatic support treatments, such as anti-shock, fluid replacement, and anti-infection, etc. After being treated by debridement and xenogenic (porcine) skin grafting for 2 times, the wounds were healed well. On the 12th day of admission, linezolid was used to prevent infection according to the results of microbial culture and drug sensitivity test, since when the level of his blood lactate continued to increase. After 8 days, linezolid was discontinued and vitamin B1 was given orally for 1 week, and the level of lactic acid gradually decreased to normal in result. This case was used mainly to analyze whether linezolid could directly cause hyperlacticemia and its important mechanism, aiming at reminding clinicians of being alert to the risk of hyperlacticemia when using linezolid. If hyperlacticemia occurs, linezolid should be discontinued immediately and vitamin B1 should be taken orally to correct the high lactic acid value, and the treatment plan should be adjusted if necessary.

Vigorously development of the health service industry has received great attention,but the health service industry faces many difficulties.By analyzing the current predicament,this paper put forward the KY3H health care service model and systematically analyzed its six innovations:from "disease as the center" to "health as the center",from "homogenized group health service" to "Personalized and Humanized Health Service",from "Extensive Health Service"to "Precise Intervention of Individual Health Status",from "Single Health Service" to "Trinity Service of Health,Culture,Health Management and Health Insurance",from the "seeking medical" service model to "seeking one's own"service model,as well as from the "fixed (fixed-time,fixed-point,fixed-mode) service" to "anytime,anywhere full-time service".This model has achieved initial success in practice.It is an important way to solve the dilemma.
