Objective:To investigate serum C-reactive protein (CRP) , procalcitonin (PCT) and neutrophil CD64 in predicting early infection after internal fixation of limb fractures.Methods:A total of 2 572 patients with limb fractures undergoing internal fixation in Taishun County People’s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022 were enrolled. Postoperative infection occurred in 121 cases (infected group) and did not occur in 2 451 cases (uninfected group). Serum levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 were tested at admission and d1, d3, d5 and d7 after operation. Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to compare the serum levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 at different time points between two groups, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of each index or in combination for early infection after internal fixation of limbs fractures.Results:The early infection rate after internal fixation was 4.70% (121/2 572). The levels of PCT, CRP and CD64 in the infection group began to rise after operation and decreased on d7; there were significant differences in PCT, CRP and CD64 levels between the two groups on d3, d5 and d7 after operation (PCT: Ftime=678.607, Fintergroup=2 218.323, Finteraction=653.150; CRP: Ftime=392.724, Fintergroup=1 812.502, FInteraction =379.577; CD64: Ftime=373.686, Fintergroup=4 817.438, Finteraction=528.353, all P< 0.001) . The area under the ROC curve of combined detection of PCT, CPR, and CD64 for predicting early infection was 0.856; the sensitivity and specificity of combined detection were 69.2% and 94.7%, respectively. The combined detection of three indicators showed better prediction values than PCT, CRP and CD64 alone ( Z=6.176, 3.838 and 2.431, P<0.01 or <0.05), and also better than combined detection of PCT and CRP ( Z=2.875, P=0.019). Conclusions:The combined detection of CD64, PCT and CRP is of value in prediction of postoperative infection after internal fixation of limb fractures, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser combined with a topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng in the treatment of melasma. Methods:A total of 80 patients with melasma were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, People′s Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from June 2019 to June 2020, and randomly and equally divided into control group and observation group by using a random number table: 40 patients in the control group were treated with long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser once every 2 weeks for 6 sessions as a course of treatment; another 40 in the observation group were treated with the same laser therapy as the control group and a topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng twice a day for 3 months as a course of treatment. Melasma area and severity index (MASI), clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction rate and safety were compared between the 2 groups before and/or after treatment. Results:After 4- and 8-week treatment, there was no significant difference in the MASI score between the observation group (14.57 ± 3.22 points, 10.00 ± 2.94 points, respectively) and control group (14.74 ± 3.11 points, 11.31 ± 3.00 points, respectively; both P>0.05). After 12-week treatment, the MASI score was significantly lower in the observation group (4.80 ± 2.78 points) than in the control group (7.07 ± 3.22 points, t = -3.38, P<0.01). After 3-month treatment, the response rate was significantly higher in the observation group (36 cases, 90%) than in the control group (31 cases, 77.5%; χ2 = 4.58, P < 0.001) ; however, there was no significant difference in the patient satisfaction rate between the observation group (87.5%) and control group (72.5%, χ2 = 7.26, P = 0.06). In addition, no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions was observed between the observation group (5 cases, 12.5%) and control group (7 cases, 17.5%; P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Compared with the long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser alone, the topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng in combination with the long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser is more effective for the treatment of melasma, with higher patient satisfaction and less adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the occurrence of common symptoms in breast cancer patients in different chemotherapy periods and to analyze the relationship with the chemotherapy periods. Methods A total of four hundred and fifty?six breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy in Tangshan Cancer Hospital from August 2016 to August 2017 were investigated via common symptom questionnaire among breast cancer patients. The results of the investigation were statistically analyzed, and the relationship between chemotherapy related symptoms and chemotherapy periods was analyzed by multiple Logistic regression analysis. Results In terms of the 20 kinds of chemotherapy symptoms, among the patients whose incidence rate was >50% had 9 kinds of symptoms. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that alopecia (95% CI=5. 820~562. 784,P=0. 001) ,skin allergy ( 95% CI=0. 002~0. 157,P<0. 001) ,cancer caused insomnia( 95% CI=1. 179~25. 638, P=0. 030) ,dry mouth ( 95% CI=0. 008~0. 470,P=0. 007) ,vaginal dryness or burning heat ( 95% CI=13. 368~647. 615 P<0. 001) ,oral ulcer ( 95%CI=0. 026~0. 654,P=0. 013) ,abnormal defecation ( 95% CI=0. 025~0. 749,P=0. 022),memory loss (95%CI=1. 065~19. 415,P=0. 041),distal phalanges numbness (95% CI=0. 004~0. 421,P=0. 007),poor appetite (95% CI=1. 189~65. 964,P=0. 033),local skin irritation /ulceration ( 95% CI=0. 003~0. 143, P<0. 001 ) were associated with the chemotherapy, the difference was statistically significant. The above symptoms can be divided into 3 symptom groups by factor analysis,and they were respectively medicine side effect symptom cluster, neuropsychiatric symptom cluster and mucocutaneous symptom cluster. Conclusion There are many symptom clusters that affect the life and rehabilitation level in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy, and are closely related with the chemotherap cycle. Doctors should adopt a scientific model of symptom management and take measures to improve the survival state of the patients.

@#A series of farnesylthiosalicylamide derivatives(9a-9k)were designed and synthesized via condensating the carboxyl of farnesylthiosalicylic acid(FTS)with different amines, and the in vitro biological activity was evaluated. It was observed that eight of them displayed strong antitumor activity against five human cancer cells in vitro. Notably, compound 9k exhibited the most active with the IC50 values of 6. 05-8. 16 μmol/L range against the tested cancer cells, which were superior to those of FTS and even comparable to that of sorafenib in vitro. In addition, compound 9k down-regulated the protein of Bcl-2 and increased the expression levels of Bax and caspase-3 proteins, indicating that compound 9k could induce tumor cell apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the impact of family intervention on the quality of life in the patients after total laryngectomy and their family members. Methods Family intervention was implemented for the patients after total laryngectomy and their family members from 2008 to 2009,and only patients received intervention from 2005 to 2007. The patients and their family members were investigated with Quality of Life Instrument for Cancer Patients-Head and Neck Cancer (QLICP-HN) and Quality of Life Scale-Family Version (QOL Scale-FAMILY) respectively when the patients were admitted to hospital and one year after discharged. Results The quality of life in patients after total laryngectomy and their family members was significantly improved after family intervention was implemented (P<0.05). Conclusion Family intervention is practicable and helpful to improve the quality of life in patients after total laryngectomy and their family members.
摘要
At present,the general medical education is short of teachers,teaching materials and programme in higher medical college in China. And the practice base is not perfect. For these reasons,the general medical education should be developed by strenghening the disci-pline construction and combining closely the general medical education with local hygiene under-takings.
