Abstract:
Preliminary results have been achieved in general medicine teaching of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In clinical practice of general practice of traditional Chinese medicine, there are many puzzles in discipline characteristics and long-term development of general practitioners ' career in community hospitals and general hospitals. As one of the first bases of general medicine teaching of traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai, the Department of General Medicine of Shanghai TCM-integrated Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been established for 4 years and the road of discipline development has been explored. To introduce the preliminary construction of standardized diagnosis and treatment system in the Department of General Medicine of Shanghai TCM-integrated Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By sorting and analyzing its practical experience, we summarized five aspects including theoretical design, clinical practice, results, problems and deficiencies, next development direction. The theoretical design was the construction of standardized diagnosis and treatment system of general practice of traditional Chinese medicine taken SOAP interrogation and six meridian syndrome differentiation as a core. In clinical practice, it presented the clinical service process of the institute in the unit and the connotation of technology and service operation in each link. The achievements mainly included the changes in the number of patients, changes in the geographical distribution of patients, and the treatment process of patients which showed the gradual deepening and growth of the service. The problems mostly included the original innovative technology of the discipline and the dissemination of the discipline idea. The next development focused on the use of theory to accelerate practical exploration, and found three theoretical models on three aspects of influence construction, original technology research and development, and interaction of medical treatment, teaching and research.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the current situation and factors of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in general wards and to provide scientific basis for targeted nursing interventions.  Methods  Participants were 178 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients who were included from the general ward of West China Hospital of Sichuan University during October 2017 to October 2020.The"Huaxi Emotional-distress Index"(HEI) scale developed by the Mental Health Center in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and the general situation questionnaire designed by the research team were used to screen the prevalence of anxiety and depression.HEI>8 points was determined as anxiety and depression.Demographic characteristics and HEI scores of the respondents were analysed, and multivariate logistic regression was adopted to analyse the influencing factors of anxiety and depression.  Results  Amongst 178 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 80 cases (44.94%) had anxiety and depression.Age, disease stage, complications, body mass index, nutritional risk score, activity of daily living (ADL) score, education level and marital status were related to anxiety and depression (all P < 0.05), whereas gender and cost were not significantly correlated with anxiety and depression (all P>0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that ADL score and nutritional risk score were the main risk factors for anxiety and depression in these patients (all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Anxiety and depression are common in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the general ward.Low ADL and high nutritional risk are associated with higher risk of developing anxiety and depression.We suggest that clinical medical staff should pay more attention to these patients and identify and screen their influence factors early, so that targeted interventions can be taken to improve their prognosis and quality of life.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyse the application value of transcranial Doppler ultrasound foaming test (C-TCD) in screening cryptogenic stroke (CS) caused by patent foramen ovale (PFO).  Methods  A total of 204 patients with CS treated in Shaoxing People's Hospital from January 2017 to June 2021 were examined by C-TCD and transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), and the positive detection rate of PFO was compared. According to the PFO detection of C-TCD, the positive patients were included in the positive group, and the negative patients in the negative group. The microbubble signal classification of the patients in the positive group was analysed, and the imaging characteristics of the vascular distribution areas (anterior circulation, posterior circulation, combined anterior and posterior circulation, anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery and vertebrobasilar artery) and each region were compared between the two groups.  Results  The positive rate of PFO in C-TCD was 55.39% (113/204), which was higher than that in TEE (42.65%, 87/204, P < 0.05). A total of 113 cases of PFO were positive in C-TCD, including 26 cases of grade 0 (23.01%), 34 cases of grade Ⅰ (30.09%), 27 cases of grade Ⅱ (23.89%) and 26 cases of grade Ⅲ (23.01%). There was no significant difference in the distribution of anterior circulation, posterior circulation, combined anterior and posterior circulation, anterior cerebral artery, middle cerebral artery and vertebrobasilar artery in the positive and negative groups (P>0.05). The detection rate of cortical/subcortical area in the positive group was 57.52%, which was higher than that in the negative group (27.59%), P < 0.05. The detection rate of deep grey matter in the positive group was 22.12%, which was lower than that in the negative group (40.23%), P < 0.05. The detection rate of infratentorial area in the positive group was 14.16%, which was close to that in the negative group (16.09%), P>0.05.  Conclusion  C-TCD has a certain application value in the screening of CS caused by PFO. Patients' lesions are mostly distributed in cortical/subcortical areas, which can be used as a means of screening the aetiology of CS.

  Objective  To investigate the correlation of serum glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), IL-6 and cystatin C (CysC) with the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy.  Methods  A total of 78 elderly patients with diabetic nephropathy who were treated in Yongkang First People's Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 were selected as the observation group, and 77 elderly patients with simple diabetes who were treated in our hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. During the same period, 80 persons who underwent physical examination and were confirmed to be healthy were regarded as the healthy group. The levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC and GFR were analysed in the three groups. GFR was determined by renal dynamic imaging method. The levels of various indexes in different stages of the observation group were compared. The correlation between the levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC and GFR was further analysed.  Results  In the observation group, the HbA1c, IL-6, CysC and GFR were (8.15±1.94) %, (40.37±11.79) ng/L, (3.25±1.06) mg/L, (49.64±6.54) mL/min, respectively. In the control group, the HbA1c, IL-6, CysC and GFR were (7.24±1.15) %, (14.22±65.98) ng/L, (1.52±0.55) mg/L, (103.21±4.85) mL/min, respectively. In the healthy group, the HbA1c, IL-6, CysC and GFR were (5.16±0.33) %, (10.70±3.22) ng/L and (0.86±0.22) mg/L, (123.43±3.18) mL/min, respectively. The levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups. The levels of these indexes in the control group were higher than those in the healthy group (P < 0.05). The GFR in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the other two groups (P < 0.05). The GFR in the control group was lower than that in the healthy group (P < 0.05). With the increase of clinical stage, the levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC gradually increased, and the GFR gradually decreased, and the differences between groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC were negatively correlated with GFR levels in patients with diabetic nephropathy (r=-0.537, -0.838, -0.709, all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC in patients with diabetic nephropathy are negatively correlated with the level of GFR. In clinical work, the levels of HbA1c, IL-6 and CysC can be measured to evaluate the patient's condition.

Abstract:
Stroke is a disease in which a blood vessel in the brain bursts or a blockage causes damage to brain tissue. Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world and the main cause of disability, resulting in about 5.5 million deaths every year. About 60% of patients are disabled after stroke, bringing a great burden to their families and society. At present, the treatment of stroke focuses on restoring cerebral blood supply and treating nerve damage caused by stroke, but studies on the treatment of peripheral system disorders caused by stroke are relatively few. As the peripheral functional organ is affected by stroke, the damage of the nervous system after stroke will lead to muscle denervation, resulting in hemiplegia or decreased muscle strength. Lack of nerve innervation makes the muscle unable to produce the muscle strength required for movement, so daily tasks may not be completed. Various secondary changes occur in skeletal muscle during the whole process, including skeletal muscle weakness, skeletal muscle spasm and skeletal muscle atrophy, leading to limb dysfunction. Studies on the mechanism of skeletal muscle changes confirmed that skeletal muscle structure and metabolism change significantly after stroke, amongst which abnormal neuromuscular junction function, increased inflammatory markers in skeletal muscle, degradation of skeletal muscle protein and phenotypic transformation of muscle fibres are closely related to skeletal muscle dysfunction after stroke. Therefore, skeletal muscle repair and functional recovery after stroke are critical. Existing rehabilitation therapy showed that skeletal muscle recovery after stroke has a good repair effects, such as reducing the expression of inflammatory cytokines, recovery of neuromuscular connection link, strengthening the peripheral and central link and promoting the growth of muscle fibre, to achieve the recovery of limb function. In this paper, the rehabilitation of skeletal muscle after stroke was reviewed, and the relevant mechanisms were elucidated to provide a reference for the rehabilitation of skeletal muscle on the affected side after stroke.

Abstract:
Stroke has a high recurrence rate, high disability rate and high fatality rate. Ischemic stroke is a common type of stroke, accounting for 70% of the incidence of stroke, it is a risk factor that reduces the life expectancy of Chinese residents. The pathological mechanism of ischemic stroke is complex, and previous neuroprotective methods are limited to a single mechanism. Such drugs cannot fully inhibit the complex pathophysiological cascade of patients with ischemic stroke. Drugs derived from natural products contain complex chemical components and can act on different targets of the disease at the same time. Therefore, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to combat ischemic stroke remains the current focus of research and development. The traditional Chinese medicine panax notoginseng has a long history of medicinal use. It is derived from the dry roots and rhizomes of panax notoginseng, a plant belonging to the family Araliaceae. Saponins include glycol-type ginsenosides, triol-type ginsenosides and special types of saponins. Panax notoginseng saponins have a definite protective effect on ischemic stroke. It has been reported that they can inhibit calcium overload, anti-oxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, anti-pyrolysis and anti-apoptosis agents, repair the blood-brain barrier, promote angiogenesis, and regulate intestinal flora. At the same time, panax notoginseng saponins have shown a synergistic effect in the combined application with astragaloside IV, geniposide, salvia polyphenolic acid and borneol. Panax notoginseng saponins have shown potential application value and great value in the prevention and treatment of stroke, indicating their prospects for the development of medicinal use. Therefore, we will summarise the three aspects of the saponin chemical components in notoginsenosides, the pharmacological effects of panax notoginseng saponins against ischemic stroke and the combination of notoginsenosides against ischemic stroke.

Abstract:
Twin study is an economical and effective method to analyse genetic and environmental factors in complex diseases. It is extensively used to explore the aetiology of many diseases. The heritability of diseases has been analysed by comparing the phenotypes of monozygotic twins and dizygotic twins in a classical twin study. With the development of molecular biology, the combination of twin study and omics is becoming an emerging and promising method. The study of twin pairs with inconsistent disease phenotypes is a powerful improvement to the traditional case-control study. In the area of gynaecology, Western countries have used the twin study to analyse the aetiological characteristics of several common gynaecological diseases in the Caucasian population, including pelvic floor disease, uterine leiomyoma, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and some other diseases. The main findings include the following: in stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, environmental factors contribute more than genetic factors; genetic factors have a greater impact on the incidence of uterine fibroids than environmental factors; the random environmental effects have a great impact on endometriosis, amongst which infertility is closely related to endometriosis; genetic factors are important in the aetiology of polycystic ovary syndrome; and female orgasmic disorders have a genetic basis, etc. However, no twin study of gynaecological diseases in Asian populations has been conducted. The Chinese National Twin Registry has recruited more than 20 000 pairs of female twins. In combination with molecular biological methods, we believe that a breakthrough in understanding common gynaecological diseases in China will occur and provide better clinical guidance. The main difficulties in the future will be the expansion and long-term maintenance of the twin cohort.

Abstract:
  Objective  To compare the effects of different intensities of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognition and movement in patients with cognitive impairment after stroke.  Methods  A total of 63 stroke patients who were hospitalised in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October 2018 to March 2020 were included. They were randomly divided into three groups (22 cases in control group, 20 cases in low-frequency group and 21 cases in high-frequency group). The control group was treated with routine rehabilitation training. One Hz rTMS treatment was added to the low frequency group. Ten Hz rTMS treatment was added to the high frequency group. The duration of the above treatment was three weeks. The patients were evaluated using the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Fuel-Meyer assessment(FMA) and modified barthel index (MBI) before and after treatment.  Results  The scores of MOCA, MMSE, FMA and MBI in the three groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (all P < 0.05). After treatment, the total scores of the high-frequency and low-frequency groups were better than those of the control group (all P < 0.05). Before and after treatment, there were significant differences in MOCA difference [(6.71±1.76) points vs. (4.85±2.03) points], MMSE difference [(3.05±1.07) points vs. (2.10±1.02) points], FMA difference [(7.52 ± 2.36) points vs. (5.30±3.25) points] and MBI difference [(10.00±4.74) points vs. (6.25±3.58) points] between high frequency group and low frequency group (all P < 0.05). The scores of visual space, executive function and orientation ability in the high-frequency and low-frequency groups before and after treatment were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the difference of MOCA and FMA after treatment (high-frequency group r=0.906, low-frequency group r=0.902, control group r=0.886, all P < 0.01).  Conclusion  Routine rehabilitation training combined with high-frequency or low-frequency rTMS can effectively improve patients ' cognition, movement and self-care ability, amongst which routine rehabilitation combined with high-frequency rTMS has the best effect. The cognitive and movement functions of stroke patients promote each other.

Abstract:
  Objective  Digestive diseases are so complex that the traditional method of teaching cannot easily improve the level of students' learning and problem-solving ability in clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application and evaluate the effect of integrated medicine-oriented teaching mode in gastroenterology teaching.  Methods  From January 2021 to December 2021, 140 medical students practicing in the gastroenterology department were included as research subjects and randomly divided into the control (n=70) and experimental groups (n=70). The control group was given the same teaching content of the experimental group via traditional teaching method. However, the experimental group was taught with integrated medicine as the guiding ideology. The results were analysed via theoretical examination of digestive diseases and medical record analysis and mini-CEX, and questionnaire was used to evaluate students' teaching effect and satisfaction.  Results  The scores of theoretical examination and medical record analysis in the experimental group were (45.16±4.37) points and (42.71±5.05) points, respectively. However, those in the control group were (43.57±3.81) points and (40.44±4.32) points, respectively. The scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). For the mini-CEX test, the scores of the experimental group, including medical history collection, physical examination, disease diagnosis, doctor-patient communication skills, humanistic care, organisational efficiency and overall performance, were higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.01). The results showed that there were 29 very satisfied and 35 satisfied persons in the experimental group, respectively; while there were 20 very satisfied and 29 satisfied persons in the control group, respectively; and the satisfaction in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01). The integrative medical-oriented teaching mode significantly improved the medical history collection and practical problem-solving ability, deepened the understanding of theoretical knowledge, facilitated the combination of theoretical knowledge with clinical practice, and improved their learning initiative (P < 0.01).  Conclusion  Integrated medicine-oriented teaching mode has significant teaching effect in the teaching of digestive diseases, which is beneficial to improve the theoretical examination results and the ability of analysing medical records and to cultivate students' ability of medical history collection.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyse the application effects of augmented reality (AR) technology and mixed reality (MR) technology based on "Internet Plus" in the standardised training of orthopaedic doctors.  Methods  Taking the implementation time (March 2019) of orthopaedics teaching and training of AR/MR based on "Internet Plus" in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College as the dividing line, 30 resident doctors in the Department of Orthopaedics who were enrolled before the implementation (from March 2018 to February 2019) were included in the control group and received conventional orthopaedics training, and 32 resident doctors enrolled after the implementation (between April 2019 and May 2020) were enrolled in the observation group and given the new training method. The improvement status of theoretical and operational results of the two groups was statistically analysed at the end of the training, and the self-evaluation of clinical teachers on the training was recorded. The training satisfaction of the two groups of resident doctors was compared.  Results  No statistical differences were observed in the theoretical and operational results between the two groups before training (P>0.05). At the end of the training, the improvement rates of theoretical [(26.74±5.12) %] and operational [(16.59±2.14) %] results in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(18.89±4.06) % and (7.05±1.02) %, all P < 0.05]. The scores of overall arrangement and management ability, application ability of multimedia teaching materials and teaching awareness of clinical teachers under the AR/MR teaching model were significantly higher than those of conventional orthopaedics teaching model (P < 0.05). At the end of the training, the training satisfaction scores of resident doctors were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The application of AR/MR based on "Internet Plus" in the standardised training of resident doctors in the Department of Orthopaedics can effectively improve the clinical teaching ability of orthopaedics teachers and improve the training satisfaction and assessment results of resident doctors, with good promotion significance.

Abstract:
  Objective  To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen in the treatment of recurrent abortion using Meta-analysis.  Methods  Literature on the treatment of recurrent abortion by tonifying kidney and spleen was retrieved from the database construction until September 2021. Meta-analysis was conducted by RevMan 5.4 software.  Results  Finally, 17 literatures were included. Meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of the tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen treatment group was higher than that of the control group without tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen therapy [risk ratio (RR)=1.34, 95% CI: 1.26 to 1.43, P < 0.001]. The success rate of pregnancy of the treatment group was better than that of control group (RR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.22 to 1.56, P < 0.001). Traditional Chinese medical syndrome score of the treatment group was better than the control group [standard mean difference (SMD)=-1.69, 95% CI: -2.20 to-1.18, P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in the positive conversion of closed antibody between the two groups (RR=1.12, 95% CI: 0.92 to 1.36, P=0.250). There was no significant difference in blood human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) value between the two groups [mean difference (MD)=33 861.57, 95% CI: -25 012.30 to 92 735.43, P=0.260]. The progestin value of the treatment group was better than the control group (MD=7.31, 95% CI: 2.17 to 12.46, P=0.005).  Conclusion  The method of tonifying kidney and invigorating spleen has advantages in improving the clinical effective rate, pregnancy success rate, TCM syndrome score and blood progestin, but there is no significant difference in blocking antibody positive conversion and blood HCG value compared with western medicine. However, due to the limited sample size and relatively low article quality in this study, as well as selection bias and measurement bias, the results are affected to varying degrees. Therefore, more high-quality controlled clinical trials are needed for validation in future studies.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the related risk factors of life style and health status on physical examination population in the epidemic prevention and control stage, so as to provide a theoretical basis for health intervention.  Methods  Physical examinees who had a health examination in Peking University First Hospital from June to July 2021 were selected by convenient sampling method, and their body weight and lifestyle changes during the epidemic were analysed through descriptive analysis and inferential analysis by multiple linear regression.  Results  A total of 392 examinees were enrolled, with a male-to-female ratio of 0. 8∶ 1 and an average age of (38.89±12.45) years old. After the outbreak of the epidemic, the body weight of the physical examination population increased by (0.84±3.24) kg (t=5.135, P < 0.001). According to gender, age group, occupation, education, marital status and BMI stratification, we found that female (t=4.361, P < 0.001), young (t=4.660, P < 0.001), underweight (t=5.231, P < 0.001), normal weight (t=4.378, P < 0.001), married (t=4.221, P < 0.001), employed (t=5.252, P < 0.001) and undergraduate population (t=3.944, P < 0.001) had significant weight gain. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that snack intake (B=0.440, P=0.015), cereal intake (B=0.830, P=0.001) and wake-up time (B=0.430, P=0.041) were positively correlated with body weight changes while total exercise time (B=-0.353, P=0.033) and intake of fruit and vegetable (B=-0.618, P=0.008) were negatively correlated with body weight changes.  Conclusion  The body weight of the examination population increases after the epidemic, which is related to lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, work and rest status. It is necessary to focus on the health status of healthy people and strengthen health management in regular epidemic prevention and control stage.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyse the clinical significance of POSTN differential expression in the diagnosis and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using online databases and bioinformatics methods and to find new biomarkers for this disease.  Methods  TCGA public database was used to obtain basic information of head and neck squamous carcinoma patients, the expression of POSTN and the correlation between POSTN and clinicopathological parameters of head and neck squamous carcinoma patients. The Kaplan-Meier Plotter was used to analyse the survival curve of head and neck squamous carcinoma patients with different POSTN expression levels. TIMER analysis was used to determine the correlation between POSTN and various immune cell infiltrations in head and neck squamous carcinoma. GEPIA database analysis was used to determine the correlation between POSTN expression and immune cell marker expression. GO and KEGG gene enrichment analysis were used to explore the function of differentially expressed genes and their pathways of action.  Results  POSTN was highly expressed in head and neck squamous carcinoma (P < 0.05), and its expression was positively correlated with prognosis of head and neck squamous carcinoma patients, the cumulative survival rate of head and neck squamous carcinoma patients was correlated with the degree of infiltration of multiple immune cells. POSTN expression level was positively correlated with the degree of macrophage infiltration in head and neck squamous carcinoma (P=0.024) and significantly positively correlated with M2 macrophage markers (P < 0.001), with high POSTN expression promoting macrophage polarisation towards M2 type. Enrichment analysis showed that POSTN was associated with extracellular matrix regulatory processes.  Conclusion  POSTN expression is associated with prognosis and immune infiltration in patients with head and neck squamous carcinoma, and it may contribute to poor patient prognosis by regulating macrophage polarisation.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the current status of diabetes health literacy amongst nurses in the Department of Endocrinology in Henan Province's top three hospitals, analyse its influencing factors and provide reference basis for improving nurses' ability to manage diabetes symptoms.  Methods  The cluster sampling method was adopted to select 400 endocrinology nurses from 6 provincial-level tertiary general teaching hospitals in Henan Province from June to July 2020 as the research objects, and the questionnaire survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, nurses' diabetes health literacy scale, and organisation support scale. SPSS 21.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. T-test or one-way analysis of variance was used to study the relationship between different demographic characteristics and diabetes health literacy amongst nurses in the Endocrinology Department, and its influencing factors were analysed through multiple linear regression.  Results  A total of 400 questionnaires were returned, and 387 valid questionnaires were collected. The total score for diabetes health literacy amongst nurses in the Endocrinology Department was (98.83±22.00) points. The questionnaire was divided into three dimensions with a total of 28 items. The scores of the three dimensions from high to low were critical literacy [(3.74±0.72) points], functional literacy [(3.46±0.85) points] and interactive literacy [(3.43±0.88) points]. Single-factor analysis showed that diabetes health literacy was statistically significant in terms of age, educational background, personality characteristics and health literacy-related training (all P < 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational background, personality characteristics, health literacy-related training and sense of organisational support were the influencing factors of diabetes health literacy amongst nurses in the endocrinology department (all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The diabetes health literacy amongst nurses in the Endocrinology Department is at an intermediate level. Nursing managers should carry out relevant training to enhance the positive emotional experience of nurses' perception of organisational support, so as to improve the diabetes health literacy of nurses in the endocrinology department.

  Objective  To explore the effect of WeChat management in continuous nursing care of discharged patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).  Methods  A total of 100 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent PCI in the Department of Cardiology of Wenzhou People's Hospital from October 2017 to March 2018 were selected. They were divided into the control group and observation group with 50 patients in each group according to the random number table method. The control group was given conventional discharge and manual, whereas the observation group established a WeChat group and made an 8-week rehabilitation plan in addition to routine discharge education and manual. The quality of life score, rehospitalisation rate, incidence of cardiovascular adverse events and compliance of cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated and compared between the two groups at 3 and 6 months after discharge.  Results  The quality of life scores of the observation group were (79.22±8.52) points and (79.42±7.80) points at 3 and 6 months after discharge, which were better than those of the control group [(61.38±8.29) points and (62.74±11.45) points, respectively, all P < 0.05]. The frequency of revisit and rehospitalisation and frequency of chest pain within 6 months after discharge in the observation group were all lower than those in the control group (all P < 0.05). The total incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in the observation group was 6.0% and 12.0% within 3 and 6 months after discharge, respectively, which were lower than those in the control group (22.0% and 42.0%, all P < 0.05). At 6 months after discharge, the compliance rates of cardiovascular risk factors such as blood pressure, LDL-C and fasting blood glucose in the observation group were 94.0%, 92.0% and 98.0%, respectively, which were better than those in the control group (70.0%, 66.0% and 72.0%, all P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The continuous nursing method of WeChat management can effectively control the main cardiovascular risk factors of patients discharged after PCI, reduce the rate of revisit and rehospitalisation, reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular adverse events, improve the quality of life and benefit the prognosis of patients.

Abstract:
  Objective  To construct an "Internet +" medical care model suitable for obstetric trinity family wards and improve the level of maternal and child VIP health management services.  Methods  A total of 240 full-term primiparous women who gave birth in the Trinity Family Ward of the Obstetrics Department of Lishui Maternal and Child Health Hospital from December 2018 to June 2020 were selected and divided equally into the control and observation groups. The control group adopted the routine obstetric VIP nursing model, and the observation group adopted the new model of obstetric nursing based on "Internet +". The nursing effect of the two groups was compared.  Results  At 24 h after delivery, the score of the intervention group [(28.63±7.64) points] was significantly lower than that of the control group [(32.81±8.16) points]. The self-efficacy score of the intervention group [(259.04±60.15) points] was significantly higher than that of the control group [(232.10±63.73) points, t=4.099, -3.368, all P < 0.05]. The bleeding volume [(190.13±34.98) mL] in the observation group at 2 h post-partum was significantly less than that in the control group [(218.07±41.19) mL, t=5.667, P < 0.05]. The 90.00% (108/120) breastfeeding rate at 42 days post-partum in the observation group was significantly higher than the 78.33% (94/120) in the control group (χ2=6.128, P < 0.05). The satisfaction score of the observation group for out-of-hospital care [(24.57±3.44) points] was significantly higher than that of the control group [(18.59±4.61) points, t=-11.387, P < 0.05].  Conclusion  The "Internet +" medical care model has a good application effect in the obstetric trinity family ward, which can significantly reduce the fear of childbirth, improve self-efficacy, reduce post-partum bleeding and increase breastfeeding rate and nursing satisfaction.

Abstract:
  Objective  To observe the clinical efficacy of trigeminal nerve radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of different degrees of vascular associated trigeminal neuralgia.  Methods  A total of 101 patients with trigeminal neuralgia from September 2015 to November 2020 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were enrolled in the retrospective analysis, including 32 patients with no trigeminal nerve associated with peripheral blood vessels (group A), 40 patients with the trigeminal nerve closely related to peripheral vascular (group B) and 29 patients with vascular compression of trigeminal nerve (group C). Radiofrequency thermocoagulation of the semilunar ganglion guided by CT was performed in all three groups. Visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life, carbamazepine dose and excellent and good rate of treatment were observed and compared before and after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months in the three groups.  Results  There were statistically significant differences in VAS scores among the 3 groups, and there were statistically significant differences between groups and at different time points within groups (Fintergroup/time/interaction=125.402, 261.255, 20.994; all P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the dose of carbamazepine among the 3 groups, and statistically significant differences between groups and at different time points within groups (Fintergroup/time/interaction=126.065, 266.616, 15.125; all P < 0.05). VAS score and carbamazepine dose in group A were lower than those in group B and group C (all P < 0.05), and there was no statistical significance between group B and group C (all P>0.05). VAS score and carbamazepine dose in three groups were significantly decreased after operation compared with before operation (all P < 0.05). The quality of life of patients in the three groups was significantly improved after surgery (all P < 0.05). The excellent and good rates of the three groups after 12 months were 90.63%, 82.5% and 86.21%, respectively.  Conclusion  CT-guided radiofrequency thermocoagulation on semilunar ganglion can significantly relieve pain and improve the quality of life of patients with trigeminal neuralgia. Vascular nerve association affects the outcome of surgery.

Abstract:
  Objective  To compare the efficacy and safety of three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) imaging systems in laparoscopic extraperitoneal radical prostatectomy (LERP) for prostate cancer.  Methods  The clinical data of 122 consecutive patients diagnosed with prostate cancer was analyzed. Those patients were underwent LERP with 2D or 3D imaging systems in Nanfang Hospital and Guangdong General Hospital between January 1st, 2015 to 1 January 1st, 2018. Patients were divided into 3D (n=40) and 2D (n=82) groups according to different endoscopic methods. The patients in 2D group and 3D group were matched by propensity score matching method according to age, BMI, prostate volume, preoperative total prostate specific antigen (PSA) and Gleason score of prostate puncture pathology. After matching, 40 cases were included in each group. The matched patients were further followed up with urinary incontinence quality of life scale (I-QOL) and international index of erectile function-5 (IIEF-5). The effects of the two surgical methods were analyzed, and the safety was compared and analyzed.  Results  The operation time of 3D group was shorter than that of 2D group [2.3 (2.0, 3.0) h vs. 3.0 (2.3, 4.0) h, P=0.023], and the blood loss of 3D group was less [50.0 (50.0, 137.5) mL vs. 275.0 (112.5, 337.5) mL, P < 0.001]. There were no statistically significant differences in positive surgical margin rates, urinary leakage rate, recovery rate of urinary control, recovery of sexual function and biochemical recurrence rate between the two groups (all P>0.05).  Conclusion  3D LERP has a better surgical field, shorter operation time, and less blood loss compared to 2D LERP. However, the long-term follow-up results of the two groups were similar in the positive surgical margin rates, the recovery rate of urinary control, the recovery of sexual function and biochemical recurrence rate.

Abstract:
  Objective  The aetiology of benign central airway stenosis is complex, and the treatment is challenging. This paper discusses the safety and effectiveness of laser under bronchoscope for treating severe benign hyperplasia central airway stenosis.  Methods  Total 23 patients with benign hyperplasia central airway stenosis treated by laser under bronchoscope in the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from March 2016 to September 2021 were studied retrospectively. The improvement of airway patency and quality of life were evaluated by using the modified Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC) and short form 36 questionnaire (SF-36), the effectiveness of treatment was dynamically evaluated. The complications were monitored, and the safety was evaluated.  Results  The average age of patients was (57.43±10.85) years old, and the male-to-female ratio was 1.87 5∶ 1. Previous tracheotomy was the most common cause of stenosis (56.5%), followed by endotracheal intubation (43.5%). The symptoms of 23 patients (23/23, 100.0%) were improved, the airway was unobstructed, and the quality of life was improved. The SF-36 score [(107.02±10.72) points] was significantly higher than that before operation [(70.34±6.17) points, t=-19.877, P < 0.001], and the mMRC score decreased significantly (P < 0.001). There were no intraoperative and postoperative complications. Twenty-three patients were followed up for 1-60 months, with an average of 14.39 months and a median of 8.0 (4.0, 23.0) months. Seventeen cases (17/23, 73.9%) had re-stenosis during follow-up, of which 12 cases (12/17, 70.6%) needed interventional treatment.  Conclusion  Laser ablation of benign hyperplasia central airway stenosis through endoscopy is safe and effective, which shows the significant improvement of patients' respiratory function and quality of life, especially for critically ill patients.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effect of tranexamic acid combined with controlled hypotension on perioperative bleeding after spinal surgery.  Methods  A total of 120 spinal surgery patients in the People ' s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2019 to February 2020 were selected and divided into 3 groups by random number table method: S group, TXA group and TXA + CH group. In S group, 0.2 mL/kg of normal saline was intravenously injected immediately after anesthesia induction, and was pumped at a rate of 0.1 mL/(kg·h) until the end of surgery. TXA group was injected with tranexamic acid 20 mg/kg at a rate of 10 mg/(kg·h) by intravenous pump until the end of operation. In the TXA+CH group, on the basis of the TXA group, sodium nitroprusside was pumped for controlled blood pressure until the main operation was completed. The indicators before and 1 day after operation and the occurrence of adverse events in one week after operation were recorded.  Results  Compared with S group, intraoperative blood loss in TXA group and TXA+CH group [(434.2±73.4) mL vs. (287.6±73.6) mL vs. (236.2±59.4) mL], postoperative drainage volume [110.0 (91.3, 145.0) mL vs. 77.5 (60.0, 95.0) mL vs. 60.0 (50.0, 70.0) mL], intraoperative visual field quality score [(3.3±0.5) points vs. (2.4±0.5) points vs. (2.2±0.4) points], days of hospitalization [8.5 (7.0, 15.0) d vs. 6.5 (5.0, 9.0) d vs. 6.0 (5.0, 7.8) d], the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Compared with TXA group, intraoperative blood loss and SSFQ score of TXA+CH group were decreased (all P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay and 24-hour postoperative drainage volume (all P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the biochemical indexes between the three groups before operation (all P>0.05). There were differences in RBC, HB, and HCT among the three groups at 1 d after operation (all P < 0.05). There were no adverse reactions in the three groups of patients.  Conclusion  Tranexamic acid can reduce blood loss in patients undergoing spinal surgery, and tranexamic acid combined with controlled hypotension has the best effect on reducing blood loss.

Abstract:
  Objective  To evaluate the effects of 10-methacryloxy decyldihydrogen phosphate (MDP)-conditioned adhesive in improving the bonding strength and marginal sealing of zirconia ceramics and resins.  Methods  This study consisted of in vitro and clinical trials. Eighty zirconia ceramic specimens were prepared by in vitro test, and randomly divided into two groups with 40 specimens in each group. The conventional group received the direct adhesion of zirconia ceramics with resin, while the test group received the adhesion of zirconia ceramics under MDP-conditioned zirconia with resin. Eighty patients whose mandibular first molar treated with zirconia all-ceramic crowns after root canal therapy in our hospital were selected as research subjects. According to the random number table method, the patients were assigned to two groups, with 40 cases in each group. The clinical operation was consistent with the in vitro test method. The bonding strength, marginal sealing in vitro and patient's satisfaction from clinical trials were compared.  Results  Before thermocycling treatment, the bonding strength in the test group [(20.35±0.59) MPa] was significantly higher than that in the conventional group [(16.03±0.51) MPa, P < 0.01]. The bonding strength in the two groups significantly decreased after thermocycling treatment (P < 0.01), whereas the descending degree of the bonding strength in the test group was lower than that in the conventional group. After treatment with methyl blue solution, the leakage of fault surface in the test group [(0.63±0.01) μm] was clearly lower than that in the conventional group [(1.34±0.02) μm, P < 0.01]. The overall satisfaction in the test group (90.00%) was markedly higher than that in the conventional group (72.50%, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The MDP-conditioned zirconia can improve the bonding strength and marginal sealing of zirconia ceramics and resin, extend the application time of zirconia ceramics and increase patients' satisfaction. It is recommended to be used in clinical practice.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the changes of D-dimer, fibrinogen and venous patency score during catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, and to evaluate their clinical application value.  Methods  Thirty-seven patients diagnosed with acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis at the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College from June 2019 to June 2021 were included as the research objects. All patients were treated with inferior vena cava filter surgery, anticoagulation and CDT. During the treatment, D-dimer and fibrinogen were measured and recorded 1 day before operation and twice a day after operation until 7 days after operation, and the venous patency scores were calculated 1 day before operation, 3 days after operation and 7 days after catheter thrombolysis.  Results  None of the 37 patients had pulmonary embolism symptoms such as dyspnoea, haemoptysis and chest pain during CDT. In this treatment group, there were 2 patients with popliteal puncture site bleeding, 1 patient with gingival bleeding, without special treatment, and no serious bleeding and other complications. In the process of CDT for deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs, the average value of D-dimer firstly increased during DVT thrombolytic process, and reached the highest level at 77.4 mg/L two days after the operation, and then gradually decreased to the normal level. The average value of fibrinogen generally showed a downward trend during DVT thrombolytic process. The venous patency score was (3.7±0.9) points 3 days after surgery, and (2.4±0.7) points 7 days after surgery, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  D-dimer can be used to monitor thrombolysis time and therapeutic effect, fibrinogen can be used to monitor thrombolysis stop and bleeding, and the change of venous patency score can be used as an indicator of thrombus clearance in the process of CDT in deep vein thrombosis of lower limbs.

Abstract:
  Objective  To evaluate the use of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) upon admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) in predicting mortality amongst patients who suffered cardiac arrest (CA).  Methods  This study was a retrospective cohort study using the latest version of the Intensive Care Database (MIMIC-Ⅲ v1.4). Adult CA patients (≥ 18 years old) admitted to the ICU for the first time from June 2001 to October 2012 were analysed, and clinical data were extracted by relevant qualified personnel. The primary endpoints were as follows: ICU and 28-day all-cause mortality. NLR was divided into three groups in accordance with tertiles, defined by ranges of < 7.00, 7.00-13.60 and ≥ 13.60. The related clinical data of these patients were analysed based on those three groups. Survival analyses were carried out to analyse the ICU and 28-day cumulative survival rates in these groups by using the Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank test. Meanwhile, the Cox proportional hazard models were used to identify independent predictors of 28-day all-cause mortality amongst CA patients.  Results  A total of 593 adult participants with CA were involved in our study. The ICU and 28-day all-cause mortality of CA patients were 34.74% and 46.37%, respectively. Except for the remaining indicators, the variables of NLR, SOFA score, buffer excess, white blood cells, platelets and 28-day all-cause mortality showed significant differences amongst these three groups (all P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the difference in the cumulative survival rate of the 28 days was no significant (log-rank test, χ2=5.900, P=0.052). The univariate Cox proportional hazard model showed that an increased level of NLR (≥ 13.60) was a risk factor for 28-day all-cause mortality in CA patients. This result was still supported by the multivariate Cox proportional hazard models analysis, even after controlling for the confounders.  Conclusion  An elevated NLR (≥13.60) is associated with poor prognosis for CA patients, and it can be used as an independent predictor for risk of 28-day all-cause mortality. In conclusion, as a novel prognostic marker in CA patients, monitoring the changes in NLR have important clinical value in assessing the prognosis of these patients.

Abstract:
  Objective  To study the expression of heparanase (HPA), epithelial marker E-cadherin and interstitial marker N-cadherin in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and to explore the relationship between the three proteins and the clinicopathological features of OSCC.  Methods  The protein levels of HPA, E-cadherin and N-cadherin were assessed in OSCC tissues from 46 patients and normal tissues from 15 controls by immunohistochemistry. χ2 test was used to analyze the expression of three proteins in OSCC, and to detect the relationship between them and the clinicopathological characteristics of OSCC. Then the independent influencing factors were screened by multivariate binary logistic regression analysis. At the same time, Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the expression of the three proteins.  Results  The positive expression rate of HPA in OSCC was 73.9%, while it was negative in normal oral mucosal epithelium (P < 0.001). There were significant differences in the positive expression rates of E-cadherin (56.5% vs. 93.3%) and N-cadherin (47.8% vs. 13.3%) between OSCC and normal oral mucosal epithelial tissues (all P < 0.05). There was significant difference in the positive expression rate of HPA in patients with different clinical stages, degrees of differentiation and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that clinical stage, degree of differentiation and lymph node metastasis were related to the positive expression of HPA. HPA expression was negatively correlated with E-cadherin expression (r=-0.321, P < 0.05), but it was positively correlated with N-cadherin expression (r=0.371, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  HPA is highly expressed in OSCC, which is closely related to the clinical stage, degree of differentiation and lymph node metastasis. HPA is negatively correlated with E-cadherin, but positively correlated with N-cadherin. The potential mechanism is that HPA may regulate epithelial interstitial transformation (EMT) in OSCC. Therefore, the expression of HPA can promote the invasion and metastasis of OSCC, and this effect may be achieved by HPA inducing epithelial mesenchymal transformation in OSCC.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the appropriate interval between transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).  Methods  The clinical data of 99 patients with HCC in Department of Radiology Lishui Hospital of Zhejiang University was retrospectively collected from February 2012 to December 2017. All patients received sequential treatment of TACE and RFA. The treatment interval of TACE and RFA was calculated, and the patients were divided into 3 subgroups: group A (0-5 days, n=30), group B (6-22 days, n=54), and Group C (>22 days, n=15). Recursive segmentation was used to select the most appropriate TACE-RFA interval threshold. The primary study endpoint was overall survival (OS), and the secondary study endpoint was tumor progression-free survival (PFS) and treatment-related adverse events.  Results  The last follow-up time was December 30, 2020. The data showed that longer TACE-RFA time intervals were associated with poor OS (group A vs. group B, P=0.694; group A vs. Group C, P=0.037; group B vs. group C, P=0.023). Among the 15 patients in group C, 73.3% (11/15) died. The median OS of the 3 subgroups were 32.3, 34.1, and 23.2 months, respectively.  Conclusion  The time interval between TACE and RFA is related to the prognosis of HCC patients. The shorter time intervals can improve OS and PFS in HCC patients. However, the optimal time interval still needs to be confirmed by large-scale multi-center clinical trials.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the effect of old medial malleolus fracture via anterior medial approach with lag screw fixation and autogenous bone graft to provide a reference for the treatment of this kind of clinical problem.  Methods  From January 2018 to December 2019, nine patients with old medial malleolus fracture because of sprain were admitted. They went through non-surgical treatment for different times. The treatment course ranged from 43 to 128 (83.0±34.6) days. The patients were treated with open reduction and lag screw fixation and autogenous cancellous bone graft via anterior medial approach. Three cases with deltoid ligament injury were repaired with suture anchor. Fracture healing time and operative complications were observed after the operation. The medial malleolus gap width and AOFAS score were compared before operation and at the last follow-up.  Results  Nine patients were followed up for 12-36 (24.7±7.6) months. The fracture healing time was 3-5 (3.8±0.7) months. No complications such as blood vessel and nerve injury, unstable ankle and traumatic arthritis were observed. At the last follow-up, the medial malleolus gap width decreased from (4.4±0.9) mm to (2.4±0.3) mm, and the AOFAS score increased from (47.3±6.2) points to (93.4±9.3) points. There were significant differences between preoperative values and values at the last follow-up (all P < 0.01). According to the AOFAS score, six cases were excellent, two cases were good, and one case was fair. The excellent and good rate was 88.9%.  Conclusion  In the treatment of old medial malleolus fracture, lag screw fixation and autogenous bone graft via anterior medial approach have the advantages of high rate of fracture healing, few complications and good recovery of foot-ankle function.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the incidence, influencing factors and related interventions of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral haemorrhage.  Methods  A total of 207 patients with intracerebral haemorrhage who were admitted in our hospital from January 2016 to November 2020 were selected as the research objects.All patients were divided into the pulmonary infection group (group A, n=91) and non-pulmonary infection group (group B, n=116).To explore the influencing factors of cerebral haemorrhage complicated with pulmonary infection, patient demographic data, medical history and condition were analysed.  Results   The proportion of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral haemorrhage was 43.96%(91/207).Unconditional binary logistic regression analysis showed that age ≥65 years (OR=1.102, 95%CI: 1.006-2.135), COPD (OR=2.679, 95%CI: 1.085-6.678), diabetes (OR=3.175, 95%CI: 2.170-4.156), GCS≤8(OR=4.500, 95%CI: 3.189-5.865), surgical treatment (OR=8.282, 95%CI: 1.182-31.483) and hypoproteinaemia (OR=3.864, 95%CI: 1.170-6.696) were independent risk factors for cerebral haemorrhage complicated with pulmonary infection.  Conclusion   Patients with cerebral haemorrhage have a higher incidence of lung infections.Age≥65 years, diabetes, COPD, low GCS score, surgical treatment and hypoproteinaemia can independently affect the occurrence of pulmonary infection in patients with cerebral haemorrhage.Therefore, we should strengthen the intervention according to the relevant influencing factors to reduce the occurrence of pulmonary infection and reduce the mortality rate.
