Application of simulated reduction verification in intensity modulated radiotherapy for breast cancer patients Fang Yongwen, Fang Jianlan, Liu Biaoshui, Yao Wenyan, Lin Xiaosheng, Lin Chengguang, Xiao Liangjie International Medicine and Health Guidance News    2022, 28 (11): 1482-1485.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1007-1245.2022.11.001 Abstract （182）            Knowledge map    Save Objective To analyze the error of simulated reduction verification in breast cancer patients before radiotherapy and to explore the necessity of simulated reduction verification before radiotherapy. Methods One hundred and seventy-four breast cancer patients who received radiotherapy in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from November 2020 to November 2021 were randomly selected for the retrospective study, with a total of 870 cone beam CT (CBCT) placement errors. The breast cancer patients who underwent X-ray simulation reduction verification before radiotherapy were set as group A; the breast cancer patients without simulated reduction verification were set as group B, and CBCT was used for postural verification during the treatment. The postural error data after CBCT calibration for the first treatment and the time required for the first treatment (the time in group A was the simulation reset verification time plus the first treatment time, and the time in group B was the first treatment time) were recorded and observed. The independent-sample t test analysis was conducted respectively. Results The errors in the SI direction of the head and foot between group A and group B were (0.07±0.33) cm and (0.15±0.43) cm, with a statistical difference ( t=3.575, P<0.001); there were no statistical differences in the left and right LR and anterior and posterior AP directions (both P>0.05). In the analysis of the first treatment time, the time of group A was much shorter than that of group B [(17.73±2.87) min vs. (34.51±3.28) min], with a statistical difference ( t=48.480, P<0.001). According to the formula M PTV=2.5∑+0.7σ, the external boundaries of group A and group B in all directions were calculated as below: LR 7.6 mm and 7.9 mm, SI 7.6 mm and 10.6 mm, and AP 10.2 mm and 10.7 mm. Conclusions The repeatability of the patients in group A in the SI direction of the head and foot was better than that in group B after being verified by simulated reduction before radiotherapy; in the analysis of the first treatment time, the time of the patients in group A was much shorter than that in group B, and the time of the patients maintaining the treatment position was shortened. Reposition verification before upper breast cancer radiotherapy can improve the precision of radiotherapy and reduce the patients' positional uncertainty caused by a long single treatment time.

Expressions of Ki-67, EGFR, and E-cad in breast cancer and their effects on prognosis Cheng Chen, Li Xueping, Xu Yi, Zhao Hongyan, Zhao Haitao International Medicine and Health Guidance News    2022, 28 (11): 1486-1491.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1007-1245.2022.11.002 Abstract （374）            Knowledge map    Save Objective To investigate the expressions of Ki-67, EGFR, and E-cad in breast cancer and their effects on prognosis. Methods One hundred and sixty-seven breast cancer specimens from Lianyungang First People's Hospital and Lianyungang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between May 2015 and December 2021 were retrospectively studied. The patients were followed up, and their data were sorted out. The SPSS 24.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The chi-square test was used to compare the enumeration data between the groups. Spearman analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of biological prognostic factors with clinicopathological characteristics and the Neo-bioscore prognostic evaluation system. The overall survival and survival analysis were observed by the Kaplan-Meier method. Single factor analysis was performed, and the survival curves were drawn. Cox regression model was used to carry out multivariate analysis to further exclude the influence of confounding factors. Results The patients was averagely 46.4 years old. The pathological molecular typing of breast cancer was significantly different from the expressions of Ki-67 and EGFR ( χ 2=30.463, P<0.001; χ 2=25.652, P<0.001); there were statistical differences between the expressions of Ki-67 and EGFR and between the expressions of EGFR and E-cad ( χ 2=7.167, P=0.007; χ 2=18.576, P<0.001). There was a close positive correlation between the expression levels of EGFR and Ki-67 ( r=0.207, P=0.007), and a negative correlation between the expression levels of EGFR and E-cad ( r=-0.325, P<0.001); the Neo-bioscore score of breast cancer was positively correlated with the expression levels of Ki-67 and EGFR ( r=0.324, P<0.001; r=0.176, P=0.023), and negatively with the expression level of E-cad ( r=-0.162, P=0.037). The Kaplan-Meier univariate and COX model multivariate survival analysis showed that the Ki-67 expression level and Neo-bioscore score of breast cancer were the prognostic factors of breast cancer ( χ 2=3.950, P=0.047; χ 2=13.372, P=0.004), and were the independent risk factors affecting the survival of breast cancer patients. Conclusions The expressions of Ki-67, EGFR, and E-cad have an auxiliary judgment effect on the expressions of proliferative active molecules, making personalized and targeted therapy possible, and have a direct or indirect correlation with the prognosis of breast cancer patients. Dynamically monitoring the effect of tumor-targeted therapy has better clinical service. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey on the perimenopausal patients with breast cancer treated at Breast Department, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine and The Second Clinical College, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine in 2015 by questionnaire. The questionnaire content included general information, the patients' diagnosis and treatment, TCM constitution types, and improved Kupperman score. We used descriptive statistical analysis, independent-sample t test, rank-sum test to observe the patients' common TCM constitution types and kupperman score, and to explore the effects of different treatment methods and TCM constitution types on kupperman score. Results A total of 228 people were included in the survey, they were (52.50±4.75) years old. We found that the patients' TCM constitution types were often mixed; and the common constitution types were as below: blood stasis type (116 cases, 50.9%), qi stagnation type (110 cases, 48.2%), yang deficiency type (109 cases, 47.8%), and qi deficiency type (101 cases, 44.3%); 96.1% (219/228) of the patients had a Kupperman score over 6, 89.0% (203/228) had fatigue, 85.1% (194/228) had insomnia, and 85.1% (194/228) had emotional agitation. The Kupperman score was higher in the chemotherapy group than in the non-chemotherapy group ( P=0.013). There were no statistical differences in the Kupperman score between the radiotherapy, endocrinological treatment, and targeted treatment. The total Kupperman score of the patients of normal constitution was lower than that of the patients without this constitution, while the total Kupperman scores of the patients with the other 7 types of constitutions except intrinsic constitution were higher than those in the patients without these constitutions, with statistical differences (all P<0.05). Conclusions Blood stasis, qi stagnation, yang deficiency, and qi deficiency are the common constitution types of respondents. Perimenopausal syndrome occurs in most respondents. Chemotherapy can exacerbate perimenopausal symptoms. Normal constitution is a protective factor for the occurrence of perimenopausal syndrome, while the other seven constitutions except intrinsic constitution are the risk factors.

Methods Eighty patients with intracranial arteriosclerosis ischemic stroke treated in Liaocheng Third People's Hospital from January 2019 to February 2021 were divided into an artery-artery embolization group (single cortical infarction or multiple infarction in the same vascular innervation area) and a perforator artery involvement group (lesions in the blood supply area of lenticular artery and parapontine artery). There were 43 cases in the artery-artery embolization group, including 24 males and 19 females, and they were 57-75 years old. There were 37 cases in the perforator artery involvement group, including 22 males and 15 females, and they were 56-76 years old. All the patients were examined by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and HR-VWI. The detection of intracranial arteriosclerosis by HR-VWI was counted. The changes of intracranial arteries and the related indicators of intracranial arteriosclerosis plaque morphology were compared between the two groups. SPSS 23.0 was used to analyze the data. The measurement data were compared between these two groups by t test, and the enumeration data by χ 2 test. The coincidence was tested by the Kappa index. If P<0.05, there was a statistical difference. Results There was no statistical difference in the accuracy of intracranial arteriosclerosis stenosis between HR-VWI and DSA [93.75% (75/80) vs. 100.00% (80/80), P>0.05]. The Kappa index (0.911) of intracranial arteriosclerosis diagnosed by HR-VWI was higher ( P<0.05). The vessel wall thickness, lumen diameter, and lumen area by HR-VWI were (0.42±0.08) mm, (2.28±0.64) mm, and (4.51±1.28) mm 2 in the artery-artery embolization group, and were (0.40±0.16) mm, (2.25±0.61) mm, and (4.45±1.12) mm 2 in the perforator artery involvement group, with no statistical differences between the two groups (all P>0.05). There were statistical differences in the plaque location, remodeling form, remodeling index, and enhancement rate between the two groups ( t=51.098, 23.978, 2.295, and 17.890; all P<0.05). Conclusions HR-VWI has high value in the diagnosis of intracranial arteriosclerosis in patients with ischemic stroke. It can effectively diagnose intracranial artery wall structure and get the relevant information of plaque morphology, and has positive significance for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and condition evaluation.

Methods From June 2020 to June 2021, 60 first-time stroke patients hospitalized at the ward of Department of Neurology, Weihai Central Hospital were selected as the research objects. The 30 qualified stroke patients from three communities under collaborative stroke rehabilitation management were enrolled into an experimental group, while the 30 qualified stroke patients from other communities were recruited as a control group. The control group had 19 males and 11 females who were 50-70 (63.72±3.97) years old, and received regular discharge guidance and health education. The experimental group had 18 males and 12 females who were 51-70 (64.21±3.54) years old, and were under information-based medical collaborative management and family cooperative management. The activity abilities of daily living (Barthel index) when they were discharged and 6 months after discharge were compared between the two groups. The patients' rehabilitation cognition and compliance to rehabilitation treatment were compared between the two groups. The patients and caregivers' satisfaction with clinical care and family contracted doctors and nurses was inquired. The data were analyzed by t, t ,, and χ 2 tests. Results There were no statistical differences in the Barthel Index scores between these two groups when they were discharged (all P>0.05). Six months after discharge, the total score of Barthel Index in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group [(80.77±6.76) vs. (70.53±6.35)], with a statistical difference ( P<0.001). Six months after discharge, the scores of knowledge about early signs and emergency treatment, on-time medication, and scheduled rehabilitation exercise were (27.48±1.28), (26.52±1.36), and (29.07±0.34) in the experimental group, and were (19.50±0.79), (20.16±0.88), and (20.52±0.50) in the control group, with statistical differences ( t=28.994, 21.497, and 77.420; all P<0.001). When the patients were discharged, the patients and caregivers in both groups were satisfactory with doctors and nurses, with no statistical difference between these two groups ( P>0.05). Six months after discharge, the patients and caregivers in the experiment group had higher overall satisfaction than those in the control group [96.67% (29/30) vs. 83.33% (25/30)], with a statistical difference ( χ 2=8.819, P=0.012). Conclusions Information-based medical collaborative management and family cooperative management are helpful in integrating medical resources, and can provide continuous, systematic, comprehensive, and full rehabilitation interventions for patients and caregivers, and has a positive effect on improving patients' activities of daily living.

Methods The data of the patients who received red blood cell and platelet transfusion in The 73rd Group Military Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Ground Force from July 2019 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, and the efficacies of red blood cell and platelet transfusion were evaluated. The patients were divided into groups according to their gender, age, frequency of blood transfusion, and underlying diseases, and the influencing factors of red blood cell and platelet transfusion efficacies were investigated. The χ 2 test was applied. Results A total of 282 patients taking red blood cell transfusion therapy, including 136 males and 146 females who were 18-82 years old, and 98 patients taking platelet transfusion therapy, including 46 males and 52 females who were 18-88 years old, were included in this study. According to data analysis, the total effective rate of red blood cell transfusion for the 282 patients was 81.91% (231/282), and the total effective rate of platelet transfusion for the 98 patients was 85.71% (84/98). According to the chi-square test, the effective rates of red blood cell and platelet transfusions in the 18-60 years old patients were higher than those in the ≥60 years old patients ( χ 2 red blood cells=7.415, P red blood cells=0.006; χ 2 platelet=4.961, P platelet=0.026). The effective rates of red blood cell and platelet transfusion in the patients with the frequency of blood transfusions <3 were higher than those in the patients with the frequency of blood transfusions ≥3 ( χ 2 red blood cells=7.760, P red blood cells=0.005; χ 2 platelet=6.853, P platelet=0.009). The effective rates of red blood cell and platelet transfusion in the patients with acute blood loss disease and hematopoietic dysfunction disease were higher than those in the patients with chronic blood loss disease ( χ 2 red blood cells=18.653, P red blood cells<0.001; χ 2 platelet=10.597, P platelet=0.005). The effective rate of platelet transfusion in the patients with fever was lower than that in the patients with normal body temperature ( χ2 platelet=8.459, P platelet=0.004). The effective rates of red blood cell and platelet transfusion in the patients taking surgery were lower than those in the patients taking no surgery ( χ 2 red blood cells = 9.928, P red blood cells = 0.002; χ 2 platelet = 5.878, P platelet = 0.015). Conclusions The effective rates of redblood cell and platelet transfusion for adult patients in The 73rd Group Military Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Ground Force are relatively high.

Methods The data from Guangzhou Chest Hospital were studied from December 2019 to June 2020. For the clinical samples from sputum, bronchoscopy flushing fluid, pleural effusion, cerebrospinal fluid, and joint effusion, direct smears were performed on their glass slides provided with the instrument as required. The dried smears were stained for auramine O fluorescence. Manual retest was performed on all the instrument-reported positive smears, and about 15% of the instrument-reported negative smears were randomly selected. The false positive and negative rates were described as categorical data. For those with false negative results, the position of the manually retested acid-fast bacilli in the smear was marked with a microscope slide clip coordinate ruler, and the locations inside and outside the scanning area of the instrument were estimated. Results Among the 5 284 smears, 1 290 cases were reported positive by the instrument, and 850 cases were reported positive by manual retest, with a false positive rate of 34.11% (440/1 290). Six hundred and sixty-five negative smear samples reported by the instrument were randomly checked, and 100 cases were reported positive by manual retest, with a false negative rate of 15.04%. The false negative results included 38 cases ±, 50 cases 1+, 6 cases 2+, 4 cases 3+, and 2 cases 4+. Among the false-negative smears, 42 cases of acid-fast bacteria were found in the scanning area of the instrument, and 58 cases outside the area. The false negative rates of the two were 6.32% (42/665) and 8.72% (58/665), respectively. Conclusion The detection of acid-fast bacilli in clinical samples by microscopic scanners has certain false positive and negative rates. The instrument scanning parameters should be continuously improved, and the laboratory manual retest procedures should be strengthened. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods The results of Likert 4 grades of 31 items in 5 dimensions of Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) in the ≤25, 25-30, >30-35, >35-40, >40-45, >45-50, and > 50 years old groups (249 cases) from July 9 to 22, 2020 at Guangzhou Chest Hospital were statistically analyzed and compared by Chi-square test and F-test. This was a cross-sectional study. Results "Strongly disagree", "Disagree", "Agree", and "Strongly agree" were scored from 1 to 4 points on the Likert 4 grades. There were statistical differences in the percentages of the 4-level classification of nurses' participation in hospital affairs, basis of high-quality nursing service, sufficient human and material resources, ability and leadership of nurse managers, and doctor-nurse cooperation between the different age groups (all P<0.05). There were statistical differences in the Likert 4 scores of 31 items between the different age groups (all P<0.05). According to the 31 items of 6 groups of people, it was divided into 217 sections, and the nursing work environment was divided into 3 grades, "poor", "good", and "excellent", according to the score ≤2.5, 2.5-3.0, >3.0. The numbers of the 3 grades were 18, 127, and 72, accounting for 8.29%, 58.53%, and 33.18%, respectively. Among the 18 "poor" sub-sections, 13 sections came from 6 items in the dimension of "nurse's participation in hospital affairs", and 5 sections from 2 items in the dimension of "sufficient human and material resources". In addition, there were 5 sections associated with the items "nursing staff have the opportunity to participate in hospital management decisions" and 4 sections associated with the items "the department has adequate support equipment so that I have more time to care for patients". Conclusions There are different expectations for their working environment by nurses of different age groups, and they should be classified and implemented in hospital nursing management. Meanwhile, how to improve the status of nurses in the hospital and to strengthen nursing support technology should be given enough attention. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Methods The morning sputum samples of 1 169 patients in the Regional Tuberculosis Laboratory from May 2018 to August 2021 were selected as the research objects. Among the patients, there were 830 males and 339 females, and they were 10 to 89 years old. Each sample was tested by the above three methods, and the detection rates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis were analyzed by χ 2 test. The coincidence rates, detection cycles, and costs were compared. Results The positive rates of acid fast staining, liquid culture, and real-time fluorescent PCR were 16.6% (194/1 169), 28.1% (329/1 169), and 26.1% (305/1 169), respectively, with statistical differences between acid fast staining and liquid culture ( χ 2=44.888, P<0.001), between acid fast staining and real-time fluorescent PCR ( χ 2=31.391, P<0.001), and no statistical difference between liquid culture and real-time fluorescence PCR ( χ 2=1.247, P>0.05), but the results of the three detection methods were consistent. The detection cycles of acid fast staining, liquid culture, and real-time fluorescence PCR were 30 minutes, 6 weeks, and 2 hours, and the costs were 15 yuan, 100 yuan, and 800 yuan, respectively. Conclusions The detection rates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by liquid culture and real-time fluorescence PCR are higher than that by acid fast staining, but the cost of acid fast staining is lower and the detection cycle is shorter than those by liquid culture and real-time fluorescence PCR. Real time fluorescent PCR is more sensitive and specific than the other two methods, but it is expensive. Although the three detection methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, their results are consistent. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

The control group had 25 males and 18 females, and they were (52.80±5.77)years old. The obser vation group had 28 males and 15 females, and they were (53.19±5.82)years old, All the patients were given conventional treatment, and the observation group were treated with dapagliflozin on this basis. The clinical effects, the levels of blood glucose [fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2h postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c)], blood lipids [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)], oxidative stress indicators [malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)], and renal function indicators [blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), and urine microalbumin (UMA)], and the incidences of adverse reactions were compared between these two groups. The independent-sample t test, paired t test, and χ 2 test were applied. Results The treatment response rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [93.02% (40/43) vs. 74.42% (32/43)], with a statistical difference ( χ2=5.161, P=0.023). After the treatment, the levels of FBG, 2hPG, HbA 1c, TC, TG, LDL-C, MDA, BUN, Scr, and UMA were (6.50±1.33) mmol/L, (8.35±1.44) mmol/L, (6.01±0.54)%, (4.58±0.23) mmol/L, (1.41±0.22) mmol/L, (2.23±0.34) mmol/L, (3.20±0.33) μmol/L, (6.33±1.07) mmol/L, (110.53±18.77) μmol/L, and (10.34±3.21) mg/L in the observation group, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(7.39±1.50) mmol/L, (11.29±2.53) mmol/L, (7.02±1.19)%, (5.23±0.70) mmol/L, (1.95±0.44) mmol/L, (3.31±0.52) mmol/ L, (4.50±0.52) μmol/L, (9.86±2.55) mmol/L, (178.41±25.36) μmol/L, and (18.55±5.27) mg/L], with statistical differences ( t=2.911, 6.623, 5.068, 5.785, 7.198, 11.399, 13.842, 8.371, 14.108, and 8.725; all P<0.05). The levels of HDL-C and SOD were (1.74±0.65) mmol/L and (43.96±8.22) U/ml in the observation group, which were significantly higher than those in control group [(1.46±0.53) mmol/L and (36.77±7.03) U/ml], with statistical differences ( t=2.189 and 4.359; both P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in GSH-Px between the two groups ( t=0.206, P=0.837). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups [4.65% (2/43) vs. 9.30% (4/43); χ2=0.677, P=0.410]. Conclusion Dapagliflozin is effective in the treatment of T2DM, and can effectively control blood glucose level and improve lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and renal function.

Methods Seventy-three patients with benign rectal tumors treated at Lanshan District People's Hospital from August 2017 to August 2019 were selected for the prospective study and divided into a microsurgery group (37 cases) and a traditional surgery group (36 cases) according to a random number table. There were 22 males and 15 females in the microsurgery group, and they were (51.42±5.58) years old. There were 23 males and 13 females in the traditional surgery group, and they were (52.26±6.04) years old. The microsurgery group underwent transanal endoscopic microsurgery, and the traditional surgery group conventional surgery. The surgical conditions, surgical efficacies, incidences of complications, and serum levels of oxidative stress indicators (AOPP and GSH-Px), and gastrointestinal hormone indicators [serum motilin (MTL) and gastrin (GAs)] before and 1 and 3 days after the operation were compared between the two groups. The independent-sample t test, paired t test, and χ 2 test were applied. Results The postoperative bowel sound recovery time, first anal flatus time, time to eat, and hospital stay were (5.17±0.94) h, (6.93±1.72) h, (29.31±5.28) h, and (3.42±0.81) d in the microsurgery group, which were shorter than those in the traditional group [(11.62±1.85) h, (15.70±2.14) h, (68.74±11.02) h, and (7.60±1.29) d], with statistical differences ( t=18.855, 19.326, 19.579, and 16.629; all P<0.001). The intraoperative blood loss was (30.53±5.69) ml in the microsurgery group, and was (49.17±8.50) ml in the traditional surgery group, with a statistical difference ( t=11.038, P<0.05). The total effective rate and the incidence of postoperative complications were 97.30% (36/37) and 8.11% (3/37) in the microsurgery group, and were 77.78% (28/36) and 27.78% (10/36) in the traditional surgery group, with statistical differences ( χ2=4.753 and 4.823; both P<0.05). The serum AOPP levels 1 and 3 days after the operation were higher than those before the operation in the two groups, and were lower in the microsurgery group than in the traditional surgery group [(65.11±8.24) μmol/L vs. (102.58±16.70) μmol/L and (52.48±6.61) μmol/L vs. (78.12±10.23) μmol/L; t=12.208 and 12.754, both P<0.001]. The serum GSH-Px levels 1 and 3 days after the operation were lower than those before the operation in the two groups, and were higher in the microsurgery group than in the traditional surgery group [126.27±18.59) U/ml vs. (84.91±12.52) U/ml and (141.10±22.73) U/ml vs. (104.58±19.65) U/ml; t=11.118 and 7.335 both P<0.001]. The serum levels of MTL and GAs 3 days and 1 week after the operation were lower than those before the operation in both groups, and were higher in the microsurgery group than in the traditional surgery group [(228.17±19.53) pg/ml, (254.50±22.47) pg/ml, (66.35±5.48) μmol/L, and (71.41±6.34) μmol/L vs. (181.25±15.58) pg/ml, (203.56±20.52) pg/ml, (61.43±4.91) μmol/L, and (66.45±5.39) μmol/L], with statistical differences ( t=11.328, 10.106, 4.036, and 3.597; all P<0.001). Conclusion Compared with traditional surgery, transanal endoscopic microsurgery for benign rectal tumors can improve the treatment effect, reduce surgical trauma, promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, and reduce the occurrence of complications, and has little effect on serum AOPP and GSH-Px levels, and the body's oxidative stress response is mild.

The control group was (30.45±6.00) years old, and the observation group was (31.32±3.93) years old. The control group was treated with methotrexate alone and the observation group was treated with Xiaozheng Futong decoction combined with methotrexate. The age, days of menopause, days of abdominal pain, days of vaginal bleeding, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), progesterone, ectopic pregnancy mass, and endometrial thickness were compared between the two groups. The clinical effects of the two groups were compared during the whole treatment cycle, and the adverse drug reactions were observed. Independent sample t test, χ 2 test, and Fisher exact probability test were used for the statistical comparison. Results In the observation group, there were 2 cases of failure of drug therapy and transferred to operation, and 38 successful cases (95.00%); in the control group, there were 10 cases of failure and 30 successful cases (75.00%); there was a statistically significant difference in the success rate between the two groups ( χ 2=6.275, P=0.012). There were no statistically significant differences in the blood HCG on the 7th day after treatment and hospitalization cost between the two groups (both P>0.05). In the observation group, the ectopic pregnancy mass on the 7th day after treatment, time of blood HCG returning to normal, time of ectopic pregnancy mass disappearance, and hospital stay were (2.14±0.92) cm, (14.61±4.76) d, (26.24±9.75) d, and (7.16±3.11) d, respectively, which were all lower than those in the control group [(2.61±0.80) cm, (17.47±6.01) d, (32.50±12.98) d, and (8.87±3.61) d], with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), creatine kinase (CK), and inhibin A (INH-A) between the two groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of VEGF, CK, and INH-A in the observation group were (83.17±35.31) μg/L, (33.07±10.04) U/L, and (6.86±2.36) μg/L, respectively, which were all lower than those in the control group [(103.50±39.16) μg/L, (38.71±7.31) U/L, and (8.05±2.03) μg/L], with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). Conclusions Xiaozheng Futong decoction combined with methotrexate in the treatment of ectopic pregnancy can accelerate the absorption of mass, promote the blood HCG returning to normal, and reduce the length of stay. The combination of Chinese and chemical drugs has a significant therapeutic effect without adverse reactions, which can be promoted in clinical practice. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Effect of individualized biofeedback training under the ERAS concept on the rehabilitation in elderly patients with low rectal cancer after anus-preserving surgery Dang Yuanna, Jie Jingya, Zhang Yang, Lu Di International Medicine and Health Guidance News    2022, 28 (12): 1641-1645.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1007-1245.2022.12.004 Abstract （163）            Knowledge map    Save Objective To investigate the effect of individualized biofeedback training under the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) on the anal sphincter function and defecation function in elderly patients with low rectal cancer after anus-preserving surgery. Methods According to the matching principle of baseline data between groups, 149 elderly patients with low rectal cancer who underwent anus-preserving surgery in Department of Gastroenterology, Henan Provincial People's Hospital from August 2017 to August 2020 were divided into two groups. There were 44 males and 30 females in the control group, aged (65.28±2.63) years; there were 46 males and 29 females in the observation group, aged (65.31±3.01) years. The control group was given routine perioperative nursing intervention, and the observation group was given individualized biofeedback training under the ERAS concept. The postoperative recovery, anal sphincter function, anal defecation function, and complications were observed in the two groups. χ² test was used for the count data, rank sum test was used for the grade data, and t test was used for the measurement data. Results The time of first anal exhaust, feeding time, time of out-of-bed ambulation, and hospital stay in the observation group were (2.23±0.65) d, (4.03±1.01) d, (2.62±0.24) d, and (8.26±2.01) d, respectively, which were all shorter than those in the control group [(3.32±1.02) d, (6.01±1.26) d, (3.69±0.35) d, and (12.25±3.24) d], with statistically significant differences ( t=7.757, 10.575, 21.736, and 9.019; all P<0.05). After the intervention, the maximum anal systolic pressure, resting pressure, anal contraction vector volume, and anal resting vector volume of the observation group were (145.96±29.35) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (60.69±8.68) mmHg, (62 531.26±1 112.24) cm×mmHg 2, and (563.69±35.68) cm×mmHg 2, which were all higher than those of the control group [(131.01±28.01) mmHg, (55.23±9.86) mmHg, (58 632.14±655.32) cm×mmHg 2, and (459.69±32.62) cm×mmHg 2], with statistically significant differences ( t=3.181, 3.586, 26.112, and 18.573; all P<0.05). The anal defecation function of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( Z=2.365, P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the observation group was 2.67% (2/75), which was lower than that in the control group [12.16% (9/74)], with a statistically significant difference ( χ²=4.912, P=0.027). Conclusion Individualized biofeedback training under the ERAS concept can adjust the anal sphincter function in elderly patients with low rectal cancer after anus-preserving surgery, improve the defecation function, reduce the postoperative complications, and promote the rapid postoperative recovery.

Characteristics of patients undergoing bronchoscopic removal of pulmonary aspergilloma and nursing countermeasures  Lu Yanyun, Peng Dehu, Xiao Haihao, Xie Yikai, Lu Xiaowei International Medicine and Health Guidance News    2022, 28 (12): 1646-1649.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1007-1245.2022.12.005 Abstract （371）            Knowledge map    Save Objective To explore the characteristics and countermeasures of patients treated by bronchoscopic removal of pulmonary aspergilloma. Methods This study was a retrospective study. The clinical data of 52 patients undergoing bronchoscopic removal of pulmonary aspergilloma (the treatment group) and 52 patients undergoing ordinary bronchoscopy (the control group) were reviewed in Guangzhou Chest Hospital from November 2018 to December 2020. There were 46 males and 6 females in the treatment group, with an age of (47.00±13.48) years old; there were 44 males and 8 females in the control group, with an age of (48.00±16.28) years old. The differences of heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, operation time, and bleeding were compared between the two groups. Independent sample t test was used for the measurement data, and χ 2 test was used for the count data. Results The heart rate and operation time of the treatment group were (112.0±6.46) beats/min and (39.95±8.32) min, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group [(100.0±9.11) beats/min and (8.83±2.46) min], and the blood oxygen saturation was (96.0±0.69)%, which was lower than that of the control group [(98.0±1.11)%], with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure between the two groups (both P>0.05). The incidence of microscopic bleeding in the treatment group was 48.08% (25/52), which was higher than that in the control group [0.00% (0/52)], with a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( χ 2=32.911, P<0.001). Conclusions Patients treated with bronchoscopic removal of pulmonary aspergilloma are more tense and have a high risk of hypoxemia and hemorrhage. Adopting preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative nursing strategies, control of high-risk factors, and grasping the timing of treatment play key roles in preventing serious complications.

Research progress in diagnosis and treatment and clinical significance of orthostatic hypertension Dong Yumei, Sun Tao, Ma Aiqing, Liang Lei, Zhu Linghua, Zhang Bin International Medicine and Health Guidance News    2022, 28 (12): 1650-1655.   DOI: 10.3760/cma.j.issn.1007-1245.2022.12.006 Abstract （248）            Knowledge map    Save Orthostatic hypertension is a neglected but common clinical phenomenon of abnormal blood pressure regulation. Its pathophysiological mechanism is unclear and may be related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction and sympathetic overactivity. A growing number of studies have shown that orthostatic hypertension is associated with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Treatment of orthostatic hypertension has not been shown to improve outcomes. However, orthostatic hypertension is not a low percentage of the hypertensive population and may be associated with increased cardiovascular risk, so hypertensive patients with or without orthostatic hypertension should be paid attention to. This paper provides the latest researches on the definition, diagnosis, pathophysiological mechanism, clinical significance, and treatment of orthostatic hypertension in recent years to provide new ideas for future research on orthostatic hypertension.
