ABSTRACT
BackgroundLung cancer is a malignancy of high incidence rate and mortality in China. The fear of relapse can affect the patient's treatment compliance and reduce their quality of life. There have been previous studies on the relationship between fear of lung cancer relapse and disease perception, as well as disease perception and psychological flexibility. However, current research on the status quo of fear of lung cancer relapse and its correlation with illness perception and psychological flexibility is limited. ObjectiveTo explore the fear of cancer relapse and its relations with illness perception and psychological flexibility in patients with lung cancer, and to provide references for subsequent related clinical interventions. MethodsA total of 96 patients were selected as the research subjects, who were pathologically diagnosed with lung cancer and admitted to Fuyang People's Hospital from January 2021 to July 2022. Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ (AAQ-Ⅱ) were used for evaluation. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between scores of various scales, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of relapse fear in lung cancer patients. ResultsThe total FoP-Q-SF score of lung cancer patients was (35.35±7.66) and a total of 65 cases (67.71%) had a FoP-Q-SF score≥34. As relevant analyses showed, the BIPQ total score of lung cancer patients was positively correlated with the total score, social family dimension score and physiological health dimension score of Fop-Q-SF (r=0.586, 0.445, 0.475, P<0.05), the AAQ-Ⅱ score was positively correlated with the total score, social family dimension score and physiological health dimension score of FoP-Q-SF (r=0.485, 0.652, 0.513, P<0.05). According to the results of single factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis, age (β=-0.142, P<0.01), education level (β=-0.254, P<0.01), monthly household income (β=-0.527, P<0.01), illness perception (β=0.847, P<0.01) and psychological flexibility (β=0.781, P<0.01) are all factors influencing the fear of relapse in lung cancer patients. ConclusionMost lung cancer patients have a fear of recurrence. It is not only related to illness perception and psychological flexibility, but also influenced by factors including age, education level and monthly family income.[Funded by Special Research Project on Business Construction of National Clinical Research Base of Traditional Chinese Medicine under the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (number, JDZX2015074)]
ABSTRACT
Objective:To understand the potential categories of self-efficacy in stress injury management of nurses in operating room and analyze the characteristics of different categories of nurses.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to August 2022. A total of 469 operating room nurses from 12 Grade A hospitals in Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shanxi, Xinjiang and Chongqing were selected by convenient sampling method as subjects. General data questionnaire, proactive personality Inventory, Caring behavior Inventory, transformational leadership inventory, nursing clinical Decision scale and nurses stress injury management self-efficacy scale were used to investigate. Potential profile was used to analyze nurses' self-efficacy in stress injury management, and multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze different potential factors.Results:The self-efficacy of nurses in the management of stress injury in operating room could be divided into three potential profiles: poor self-efficacy group (23.9%, 112/469), medium self-efficacy group (33.0%, 155/469) and good self-efficacy group (43.1%, 202/469). Proactive personality, caring behavior, transformational leadership, nursing clinical decision-making and educational background were the factors influencing self-efficacy of operating room nurses in stress injury management (all P<0.05). Conclusions:There are three potential profiles of self-efficacy in the management of stress injury in operating room nurses. Nursing managers can give targeted intervention strategies according to different characteristics of nurses to improve their self-efficacy.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To develop dynamic management strategies for intraoperative acquired pressure injuries (IAPI) in neurosurgery patients and evaluate their implementation effects, so as to provide constructive suggestions for the management of IAPI.Methods:This study was conducted by a non-synchronous before and after control study. From January 2021 to December 2022, 220 patients undergoing neurosurgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College were conveniently selected as the study objects, and divided into the control group and the observation group with 110 patients in each group according to the time of operation. The control group was given routine nursing measures to prevent IAPI, and the observation group was given dynamic management program based on timing theory on bisis of routine nursing. The score of preoperative stress injury,incidence of IAPI and the self-efficacy scores of nurses in the management of stress injury in operating room were compared between the two groups.Results:Before intervention, the scores of preoperative stress injury in control group and observation group were (14.69 ± 2.93) points and (14.78 ± 2.89) points, respectively, with no statistical significance ( t=-0.23, P>0.05).After the intervention, the incidence of IAPI was 3.64%(4/110) in the control group and 0 in the observation group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.07, P<0.05). The self-efficacy scores of nurses in the management of stress injury before and after intervention were (29.13 ± 4.87) and (36.41 ± 5.83), respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-6.21, P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of dynamic management strategy of IAPI can effectively reduce the incidence of IAPI in neurosurgery patients and improve the self-efficacy of nurses in operating room.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate and study epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of rotavirus lower respiratory tract infection in preschool children. Methods The preschool children with rotavirus enteritis and lower respiratory tract infection admitted to the hospital were retrospectively analyzed January 2021 and June 2022. The situations and risk factors of lower respiratory tract infection were evaluated by chest X-ray, serological examination and throat swab culture. Results In the 155 preschool children with rotavirus enteritis, there were 59 (38.06%) cases with lower respiratory tract infection. The results of pathogens culture showed that proportion of Haemophilus influenzae was the highest (28.81%), followed by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.64%, 15.25%). There were significant differences between infection group and non-infection group in age, histories of family members smoking, children's aggregated activities and family members' respiratory diseases, family members' and children' attention to hand hygiene, pregnancy outcomes, age at the first usage of antibiotics and onset seasons (P0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age <3 years (OR=2.962, P=0.031), history of family members' smoking (OR=2.869, P=0.035), history of family members' respiratory diseases (OR=2.354, P=0.039) and the age at the first usage of antibiotics <1 year (OR=2.622, P=0.033) were all independent risk factors of rotavirus lower respiratory tract infection in preschool children. Conclusion The preschool children with rotavirus are prone to lower respiratory tract infection. Clinically, more attentions should be payed to children with age <3 years, history of family members' smoking, history of family members' respiratory diseases and the age at the first usage of antibiotics <1 year. The targeted measures should be actively taken to prevent the risk of lower respiratory tract infection.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of attentional bias training on mood and disease uncertainty in anxious patients with coronary artery intervention treatment during transition period. Methods A total of 82 anxious patients with coronary artery intervention treatment during transition period were assigned into control group (28 cases), escape-negative-training group(27 cases) and positive-direction-training group (27 cases) by random digits table method. Patients in control group only received routine psychological counseling, while patients in escape-negative-training group and positive-direction-training group also received spot-type attentional bias training(200 trails/time,10-15 minutes/time,2 times/week, all 4 weeks in the two groups;the negative and neutral words between the probe points were 20%and 80%in escape-negative-training group,and positive and neutral words between the probe points were 100%and 0 in positive-direction-training group). All the patients were evaluated by Stroop test, Self-evaluation of Anxiety Scale (SAS), Attention to Positive and Negative Information Scale (APNIS), Profile Of Mood States (POMS) and Illness Uncertainty Scale (IUS). Results After intervention, 21.4%(6/28) was alleviated in the control group, while respective 70.4%(19/27) and 44.4%(12/27) in escape-negative-training group and positive-direction-training group (χ2=8.15, P=0.003). There were no significant differences in SAS, POMS, Stroop test, APNIS and IUS among three groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the SAS, negative emotion scores in POMS (tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia, baffling-confusion) and IUS were lower in escape-negative-training group than those in control group(Q=3.79-7.58, all P0.05). Conclusions Attentional bias training could improve the anxiety symptoms and reduce illness uncertainty in anxious patients with coronary artery intervention treatment during transition period. Escape-negative-training is more effective in reducing patients′ negative mood and alleviating anxiety symptoms than the positive-direction-training.

OBJECTIVE:To explore loading dose simvastatin on related indicators in PCI perioperative period of patients with acute myocardial infarction. METHODS:Data of 203 acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing emergency PCI were retro-spectively collected and divided into observation group (102 cases) and control group (101 cases) by different regimens. Control group received conventional treatment for 3 d before PCI,including orally taking Aspirin enteric-coated tablet 300 mg/d,qd + Sim-vastatin tablet 40 mg/d,qd,simvastatin 40 mg/d after surgery,qd,for 4 weeks. Observation group received Simvastatin tablet 80mg 2 h before PCI,the other treatment was the same with control group. Total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density li-poprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),IL-6,IL-10,TFN-α,plasma super-sensitive tropo-nin(TNT-HSST)level,creatine kinase isoenzyme(CKMB)level,high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)level and transami-nase level before and 24 h after treatment were observed and the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded. Meanwhile,the inci-dence of postoperative 30 d of MACE and CIN was followed-up. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in TG,TC, LDL-C,HDL-C before and after treatment(P>0.05). Before treatment,there was no significant difference in TNF-α,IL-6,IL-10, hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels in 2 groups (P>0.05);after treatment,TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels were significantly higher than before(P<0.05),and TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP levels in observation group was significantly lower than control group,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels were significantly higher than control group;IL-10 was significantly lower than before in 2 groups,and observation group was higher than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The MACE rate and CIN rate in observation were lower than control group with statistical significance(P<0.05). And no obvious adverse reaction was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Loading dose simvastatin in PCI perioperative period can significantly reduce patients' PCI, TNF-α,hs-CRP,CKMB,TNT-HSST levels and the incidence of cardiovascular and renal adverse reactions.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of dexmedetomidine on peripheral blood T lymphocyte proliferation and T lymphocyte subsets of juvenile rats with splenectomy.Methods Twenty-four healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 130-150 g,aged six weeks were enrolled in this study.Half of the rats received splenectomy to make an immunosuppressive model,then they were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=6 each): splenectomy+normal saline group (group SN) and splenectomy+dexmedetomidine group(group SD).The another half of the rats without splenectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups: normal saline group(group S) and dexmedetomidine group(group D).After one week of normal feeding,normal saline 10 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally (ip) in groups S and SN,dexmedetomidine 50 μg/kg was injected ip in groups D and SD respectively.Two hours after the injection,blood samples were collected.MTT was utilized to examine the peripheral blood T lymphocyte proliferative capability.T lymphocyte subsets CD4+,CD8+ were determined by flow cytometry.CD4+/CD8+ was calculated.Results Compared with group S,T lymphocyte proliferative capability,the percentages CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio were significantly decreased in group SN (P<0.05);T lymphocyte proliferative capability in group D was decreased (P<0.05),but no significant changes was found in the percentages CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio.Compared with the group D,T lymphocyte proliferative capability,the percentages CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio in group SD were significantly decreased (P<0.05).Compared with the group SN,T lymphocyte proliferative capability in group SD was significantly decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion Cellular immune function of juvenile rats with or without splenectomy is suppressed by dexmedetomidine,and the suppressive function is more severe in splenectomy rats than that in normal juvenile rats.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment at different times for heart arrest induced by bupivacaine poisoning in rats.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>With a randomized, blind, control study, 24 SD rats were divided into a control group, a EA for 60 min (EA 60) group and a EA for 30 min (EA 30) group, 8 cases in each one. Rats in the EA 60 group and EA 30 groups were treated with EA at bilateral "Neiguan" (PC 6), "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Fenglong" (ST 40) for 60 min and 30 min respectively. While no treatment was given in the control group. Then rats were monitored by leadⅡelectrocardiograph; catheters were inserted into the femoral vein to open the vein access and into the carotis to monitor the arterial pressure. Three hours after EA, 10 mg/kg bupivacaine was injected through femoral vein. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were automatically recorded by PowerLab system. The time points when QRS widened by 20 percent and cardiac arrest and the survival rates were observed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>After the injection of bupivacaine, five rats in the EA 60 group caught cardiac arrest,while all the rats in the other two groups caught it. The survival rates were not statistically significant among the three groups (>0.05). The time of QRS widening by 20 percent in the EA 60 group was (87.4±14.8) s,which was longer than (63.6±14.2) s in the EA 30 group and (51.2±12.4) s in the control group (both<0.05). From injection of bupivacaine to cardiac arrest, the time of (375.3±23.7) s in the EA 60 group and that of (328.3±47.7)s in the EA 30 group were more than (235.5±91.5) s in the control group (both<0.05). After the injection, MAP and HR in the EA 60 group were higher than those in the EA 30 group and control group at most time points (all<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>EA pretreatment apparently decreases the vulnerability of bupivacaine-induced heart arrest, with better protective effect of 60 min pretreatment than that of 30 min.</p>
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of through moxibustion combined with electric acupuncture versus electric acupuncture alone for treatment of patients with cervical spondylosis radiculopathy (CSR), so as to provide a basis for optimizing clinical treatment.Methods A prospective study was conducted. Sixty patients with CSR treated in the clinic of Acupuncture Department as outpatients or admitted into the department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University as inpatients were enrolled, and according to the random number table, they were divided into through moxibustion combined with electric acupuncture treatment group (observation group) and conventional electric acupuncture treatment group (control group), 30 cases in each group. The main acupoints of the observation group were as follows: Fengchi, Dazhui, Tianzhu, Houxi, Cervical Jiaji points, Shenshu, Mingmen, in cases with significant neck and shoulder pain, supporting points were added such as Jianjing, Tianzong, in cases with severe arm and finger numbness and pain, Quchi, Hegu, Waiguan, and in cases with marked dizziness and headache, Baihui, Temple acupoints were added. The needle 0.30 mm × 40 mm in size was chosen to be applied, at bilateral neck Jiaji points, direct subcutaneous needling (piercing) was made, at Dazhui, the piercing of needle for 1 to 1.5 inches was performed (body inch), at Mingmen, reinforcing method was used for piercing, at Shenshu, 0.30 mm × 50 mm needle was chosen for piercing with reinforcing method, and at the rest acupoints, conventional neutral supplementation and drainage method of acupuncture was applied. After obtaining qi from needling, electric needle device was added, the current strength used for individual patient depended on his or her degree of tolerance, the needle retention being 20 minutes, and during the above process, at Dazhui and a set of neck Jiaji points, moxibustion with moxa was applied. The acupoints used in the control group were the same as those in the observation group except moxibustion, other procedures were similar to those in the observation group. In both groups, the therapy was taken once a day for consecutive 5 days in a week, constituting one therapeutic course, and after two courses, the changes of clinical symptom scores and clinical efficacies were observed.Results After treatment, the clinical symptom scores in two groups were significantly higher than those before treatment (control group: 15.68±2.01 vs. 7.10±1.87, observation group:18.13±1.69 vs. 7.92±2.14), and the degree of improvement in the observation group was more significant (P < 0.01). After treatment, the total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [96.67% (29/30) vs. 83.33% (25/30),P < 0.05].Conclusion The clinical therapeutic effect of through moxibustion combined with electric acupuncture for treatment of patients with CSR is better than that of electric acupuncture alone, so there is certain feasibility.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression and prognostic significance of leucine-rich and immunoglobulin-like domains 1 (LRIG1) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in cervical adenocarcinoma.Methods The expression levels of LRIG1 and EGFR were assayed by immunohistochemistry in 47 cervical adenocarcinoma,24 cervical glandular intraepithelial neoplasia (CGIN) and 60 normal cervical tissues.Results The expression rates of LRIG1 in cervical adenocarcinoma,CGIN and normal cervical tissues were 21.28 % (10/47),29.17 % (7/24) and 83.33 % (50/60),respectively,the expression of EGFR in cervical adenocarcinoma,CGIN and normal cervical tissues were 82.98 % (39/47),45.83 % (11/24),5.00 % (3/60),respectively.The expression of LRIG1 was not correlated to age (P > 0.05).However,it was correlated to histological grade,lymphatic nodes metastasis and clinical stages (all P < 0.05).The survival rate of positive LRIG1 patients was higher than that of negative LRIG1 patients (P < 0.05).Conclusions LRIG1 may play an important role in predicting clinical outcomes of cervical adenocarcinoma,and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting EGFR signal transduction.
