ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the level of death anxiety and its related factors in patients with newly diagnosed cancer at different stages.Methods:A total of 266 cancer patients in a tertiary oncology hospital were se-lected and investigated at admission(Tl),discharge(T2),and 1 month after discharge(T3).They were assessed with the self-compiled general information questionnaire,Templer's Death Anxiety Scale(T-DAS),Acceptance and Action Questionnaire Second Edition(AAQ-Ⅱ.),and the Chinese version of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire(C-MLQ).The Kruskal-Wallis H test and generalized estimating equation were used to analyze the level of death anxi-ety and its influencing factors in cancer patients at different time points.Results:The Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that the total T-DAS scores and the difference in the scores of the four dimensions were statistically significant at three time points(Ps<0.01),with the highest T1 score and the lowest T3 score.The results of generalized estima-ting equation showed that male gender(β=1.25),junior high school education(β=2.59),worker(β=1.46),farmer(β=1.67),respiratory(β=1.74),digestive system tumor(β=2.51),and AAQ-Ⅱ score(β=0.23)posi-tively predicted death anxiety in patients with cancer.Head and neck(β=-1.73),breast tumors(β=-1.84),stage Ⅰ(β=-2.58)and stage Ⅱ tumors(β=-2.11),and C-MLQ score(β=-0.15)negatively predicted death anxiety in patients with cancer.Conclusion:Death anxiety in patients with newly diagnosed cancer is highest on ad-mission and gradually relieves after discharge.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze characteristics of motoneurons controlling the extension of a single finger in different individuals, and obtain the similarity and difference of micro-motoneurons characteristics in different individuals. Methods The motoneurons were decomposed by blind source separation algorithm. The two dimensional (2D) features of the neurons were quantified, and the fingers were classified by the features of the neurons decomposed by different individuals. In addition, the proportion of shared motor neurons was used to study characteristics of motoneurons innervating the coordinated movement of different fingers between individuals. Results There were significant differences in spatial distribution of motoneurons between the index finger and the middle finger for different individuals, but the activation area was similar. Using data from different people as training sets and testing sets, the average accuracy of finger classification was 86. 99% , and it was significantly improved to 90. 07% after using transfer component analysis (TCA) calibration. Through analysis on the proportion of shared neurons in different individuals, it was found that the proportion of shared neurons between index finger and other three fingers (middle finger, ring finger and little finger) was relatively low, while that between ring finger and little finger was high. Conclusions The spatial discharge characteristics of motoneurons controlling different fingers in different individuals are similar and have small individual differences. This study reveals the internal neural mechanism of different individuals during finger movement, and provides references for clinical neural mechanism analysis of patients with finger movement disorders and the related engineering applications

ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the resistance to beta-cypermethrin in Aedes albopictus in Xuhui District, Shanghai, China, and determine the effects of insecticide components, concentration and distance on eliminating resistant population of Aedes albopictus in ultra-low volume (ULV) spray, which would provide scientific evidence for effective mosquito control strategy and rational use of beta-cypermethrin. MethodsLarval impregnation method recommended by the World Health Organization was used to determine the drug resistance in Aedes albopictus larvae to calculate the median lethal concentration (LC50) of insecticides to Aedes albopictus larvae. The resistance to insecticides in female adults of Aedes albopictus was measured by the adult mosquito contact tube method recommended by the World Health Organization, and the 24-hour mortality (%) of female mosquitoes caused by insecticides was measured. Then the 24-hour mortality (%) of resistant female adults of Aedes albopictus due to beta cypermethrin monotherapy and compound agents was calculated by ULV spray. ResultIn 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2021, the resistance ratio in Aedes albopictus larvae to beta-cypermethrin was 9.22, 68.22, 37.33 and 59.22, respectively. In 2021, the 24-hour mortality of Aedes albopictus female adults was 62.07%. ULV sprayer experiments were performed using 4.5% beta-cypermethrin (single dose) and 12.0% beta-cypermethrin-chlorpyrifos (compound dose). The 24-hour mortality increased with the concentration of the insecticides. The overall mortality caused by compound was higher than that by single dose. The mortality were 24.24%, 31.60% and 97.83% at the concentrations of 0.045 0%, 0.067 5% and 0.090 0% for single dose, respectively, and 58.87%, 61.62% and 90.00% at the concentrations of 0.12%, 0.18% and 0.24% for compound dose, respectively. There was no significant difference in mortality when spraying distance was 10 m, 30 m and 50 m. ConclusionAedes albopictus in Xuhui District is developed varying resistance to beta-cypermethrin. It warrants to strengthen the monitoring on insecticide resistance to formulate scientific and reasonable strategy for insecticide use. and reduce the resistance level of the Aedes albopictus to beta-cypermethrin. Compound dose is recommended to improve the effect. In addition, comprehensive treatment may be adopted to reduce the resistance.

Conclusion:Remimazolam can be safely and effectively used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in patients undergoing abdominal surgery, and its induction dose is 0.15-0.35 mg/kg, and maintenance dose is 0.3-1.0 mg·kg -1·h -1.
ABSTRACT
To assess the efficacy and safety of apatinib for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who had failed in second-line chemotherapy. Methods: The clinical data of 46 patients with recurrent EOC who had failed in second-line chemotherapy and were admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from September 2017 to November 2018 were collected. The treatment efficacy of apatinib was evaluated, and treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were recorded to evaluate its safety. Results:A total of 46 eligible patients were enrolled. The median follow-up time was 12 months. The median overall survival (OS) was 6 months (range 2-15 months). The objective response rate (ORR) was 26.1% (12/46 patients), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 86.9% (40/46 patients). AEs occurred in 30 patients (65.2%), and were mainly of grade 1-2. The most common treatment-related AEs were hypertension (39.1%) and hand-foot-skin syndrome (30.4%); only one patient experienced grade 3 treatment-related hyperten-sion. All grade 1-2 AEs could be recovered rapidly and well-tolerated after treatment with medication. Conclusions: Apatinib may be a safe and effective option for patients with advanced EOC who had failed in second-line chemotherapy. Further Studies are warranted in large-scale clinical trials.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the relationship between concurrent myocardial bridge at anterior descending branch and the formation of coronary atherosclerosis plaques by using transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG). Methods A total of 198 patients underwent coronary CTA in Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medcine from June 2017 to March 2018 and the results showed the anterior descending myocardial bridge. The data were retrospectively analyzed. All patients completed the coronary CTA with 320?row detector CT. According to the manifestations of myocardial bridge on CTA,the patients were divided into deep and superficial myocardial bridge groups. According to whether the patients were complicated with coronary atherosclerotic plaques, they were divided into isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group. The thickness and length of myocardial bridge, the volume of coronary atherosclerotic plaques at the site of myocardial bridge, the pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values, and the K ratio were recorded. Independent sample t test (normal distribution) or Mann?Whitney U test (skewed distribution) was used to compare the difference of measurement data among different groups. χ2 test was used to compare the difference of enumeration data among different groups. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the correlation among pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values,K ratio,thickness and length of myocardial bridge and plaque volume. The influence of above indexes on plaque occurrence was analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The relationship between main influence indexes and plaque formation was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results Ninety nine patients had isolated myocardial bridge,99 with myocardial bridge and coronary atherosclerotic plaques,27 with superficial myocardial bridge and 171 with deep myocardial bridge. All atherosclerotic plaques occurred in pre?bridge and the mean volume of plaques was (91.6±83.0)mm3. The differences in sex, age, height, body weight and body mass index werenot statistically significant between isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge TAG value was statistically significant between the isolated myocardial bridge group and myocardial bridge with coronary atherosclerotic plaque group (all P<0.05), but not statistically significant in post?bridge TAG value and K ratio (all P>0.05). The difference in pre?bridge and post?bridge TAG values and K value was not statistically significant between the superficial group and the deep group (all P>0.05). There was a weak negative correlation (r=-0.205,-0.316,-0.339,respectively,P<0.05) between the plaque volume and pre?bridge&post?bridge TAG values and K ratio. The pre?bridge TAG value significantly affected the plaque formation (P=0.014) and the odds ratio was 0.884 (95% CI 0.801 to 0.976). While other factors had no significant effects on plaque formation (all P>0.05). The area under curveof plaque formation promoted by pre?bridge TAG value was 0.582. When the diagnostic critical value was -37.26 HU/mm, the sensitivity and specificity of pre?bridge TAG value in plaque formation were 31.31% and 81.82%, respectively. Conclusion The TAG value of anterior descending bridge is an independent risk factor for plaque occurrence. The abnormal TAG value of anterior descending myocardial bridge can be detected early by CTA.

ABSTRACT
Microsurgery techniques have allowed the development of many new therapeutic methods in plastic surgery, but are difficult to master without hard training. It is very important to set up a standardized microsurgery curriculum and training system for broadening surgical skills training and investigating the plastic surgery specialist training strategy. In our experiences, a series of training models are needed, like non-animal models, non- living animal models, live animal models and so on. This paper shows the training strategy for the primary stage of microsurgery training, non-animal model and non-living animal model training.

ABSTRACT
The study included 197 thyroid nodules which were confirmed by fine-needle aspiration cytology or histopathologic examination. All nodules were graded with malignancy risk stratification of thyroids nodule accordingto the 2015 American Thyroid Association(ATA)management guidelines. Both color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and superb microvascular imaging(SMI) were used to classify blood flows of thyroid nodules according to Adler's grading criteria. Morphologic and distribution features of blood flow were also observed by monochrome (mSMI). The optimal threshold drawing from ROC curve and diagnostic efficacy of single and combinative modality were calculated. The results showed that mSMI was more sensitive to detect blood flow of thyroid nodules than other Doppler techniques(P<0.01). Microvascular morphologic features between benign and malignant thyroid nodules were significantly different(P<0.01). The area under ROC curves of ATA,mSMI,and ATA+mSMI were 0.745, 0.740,and 0.834,respectively,suggesting that the diagnostic performance of ATA+mSMI is superior to that of ATA or mSMI alone. There was no significant deference in the sensitivity among ATA, mSMI, and ATA+mSMI (P>0.05). But the specficity and accuracy of combinative modality ATA+mSMI was significantly higher than that of ATA or mSMI alone(P<0.05).
ABSTRACT
Aim To assess the effects of Banqiao Codonopisis Pilosula(BCP)decoction on learning and memory dysfunction in AD model rats induced by high activity GSK-3β and its possible mechanism.Methods The SD rats(4 months old,♂)were divided into five groups,namely,sham-operated group(blank group),AD model group,BCP high-dose(2.16 g·kg-1·d-1)group,BCP medium-dose(1.08 g·kg-1·d-1)group,and BCP lower-dose(0.54 g·kg-1·d-1)group.Treatment group received BCP decoction by gavage once a day for 14 days,while other groups were offered drinking water by gavage once a day for 14 days.The autonomous behavior activities of all rats were observed and recorded after gavage.In the last seven days by gavage,Morris water maze test was used to test the spatial learning and memory ability of the five groups.After five days training,treatment groups and AD model group were injected wortmannin(WT,PI3K specific inhibitor)and GF-109203X(GFX,PKC specific inhibitor)(100 μmol·L-1 of each,total volume of 10 μL)into the right lateral ventricle of the rats.The blank group was only injected 2%DMSO.The spatial memory retention was detected by water maze 24 hours after lateral ventricle injection.Then,changes in the spatial learning memory of rats were observed.The level of Tau phosphorylation in SD rat hippocampus and the expression and activity changes of related protein kinase GSK-3β were detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.The changes of Nissl bodies in SD rat hippocampus were observed by Nissl′s staining.Results After intragastric administration of BCP,the rat autonomous behavior activities in each group all showed a declining trend,and the differences in low-dose and middle-dose groups had statistical significance compared with blank group.The Morris water maze tests showed that the latency navigation of model group was significantly longer than that of blank group(P<0.01),while that of the BCP three doses groups was shorter than that of model group(P<0.05).Compared with the same group,the latency navigation of the three groups after gavage BCP low,middle and high dose was significant shorter than that without gavage(P<0.05).Western blot results showed that the activity of GSK-3β in AD model group was up-regulated compared with the blank group.However,BCP inhibited activity of GSK-3β.Western blot and immunohistochemistry results showed the level of Tau phosphorylation in AD model group was increased compared with the blank group in the area of CA3(P<0.05).Compared with AD model group,the level of Tau phosphorylation was decreased in treatment group.Nissl′s staining results showed that dendritic spines in AD model group was significantly attenuated compared with the blank group(P<0.05).Far more dendritic spines were observed in treatment group than in AD model group.The number of Nissl′s bodies in neuron cells of hippocampus in hippocampal CA3 was obviously larger in treatment groups than in AD model group.These effect of BCP was dose-dependent.Conclusions BCP can prevent the learning and memory dysfunction in AD model rats induced by high activity of GSK-3β.The mechanism may be related to inhibiting GSK-3β activity and then reducing the level of phosphorylation of Tau and improving neural development.
