ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of obstetric nurse-led family group pregnancy care mode on gestational health behaviors, gestational complications and pregnancy outcomes of elderly multiparas.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled trial, a total of 120 elderly multiparas who were registered, received regular production inspection and gave birth in Obstetrics Department of Yantai Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical University from January to December 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method, and divided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method with 60 cases in each group. The control group was given routine pregnancy care, while the experimental group was given obstetric nurse-led family group pregnancy care mode. The intervention effect was evaluated by Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II). The occurrence of gestational complications and pregnancy outcomes in both groups were recorded.Results:There was no significant difference in the scores of HPLP-II before intervention between the two groups ( P>0.05). After intervention, scores of health responsibility, nutrition behaviors, exercise and stress management, and total score of HPLP-II in the experimental group were (25.06±2.73), (28.93 ± 3.04), (22.18 ± 2.67), (24.09 ± 2.88), (151.94 ± 11.78) points, higher than those in the control group (24.12 ± 2.27), (27.46 ± 2.59), (20.54 ± 2.25), (22.97 ± 2.63), (146.43 ± 10.35) points, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( t values were 2.05-3.64, all P<0.05). The incidence of gestational complications in the experimental group (11.67%, 7/60) was lower than that in the control group (26.67%, 16/60), the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( χ2=4.36, P<0.05). The proportion of natural delivery in the experimental group (83.33%, 50/60) was higher than that in the control group (66.67%, 40/60), the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( χ2=4.44, P<0.05). The total labor duration in the experimental group was (237.64 ± 66.48) min, shorter than (262.79 ± 60.57) min in the control group, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups ( t=2.17, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of premature delivery, 2-hour postpartum bleeding volume, neonatal 1-minute Apgar score and neonatal weight (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The obstetric nurse-led family group pregnancy care mode can improve gestational health behaviors and lower the risk of gestational complications in elderly multiparas while reducing cesarean section rate and shortening total labor duration.

ABSTRACT

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) external therapy for sleep disorder of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has good anti-fatigue effect and can improve sleep quality of patients. The treatment for sleep disorders of CFS with TCM external treatment mainly adopts acupuncture, moxibustion, massage, TCM bath, transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation and auricular point sticking, etc., or alone, or comprehensive application, or combined with oral Chinese materia medica. The appropriate treatment method can be selected according to the patients' condition and compliance, which reflects the unique advantages of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment and the treatment according to people and time. The existing research still needs to further form a standardized and recognized diagnosis and treatment system, so as to better guide clinical popularization and application.

ABSTRACT

The treatment rules of point selection and treatment principles for treating chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) can be divided into three categories: regulating and replenishing, invigorating original yang and regulating zang-fu organs. The mechanism of moxibustion includes improving gut microbiota imbalance, regulating immune cell imbalance and correcting endocrine dysfunction. The moxibustion methods include ginger-partitioned moxibustion, thunder-fire moxibustion, warm acupuncture, and governor moxibustion. Acupuncture points such as Shenque (RN8), Guanyuan (RN4), Qihai (RN6), Zusanli (ST36), Baihui (DU20), Yongquan (KI1) and back-shu points are often selected to exert anti-chronic fatigue effects.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have been widely used in many fields such as nanotechnology, biomedicine and environmental remediation due to their good electrical conductivity, photothermal properties and anticancer properties. In this study, the cell-free supernatant, whole cell and the cell-free extracts of the strain Cupriavidus sp. SHE were used to synthesize SeNPs, and several methods were applied to analyze the crystal structure and surface functional groups of the nanoparticles. Finally, Pseudomonas sp. PI1 (G⁺) and Escherichia coli BL21 (G⁻) were selected to investigate the antibacterial properties of SeNPs. Cell-free supernatant, whole cell and cell-free extracts of the strain could synthesize SeNPs. As for the cell-free supernatant, selenite concentration of 5 mmol/L and pH=7 were favorable for the synthesis of SeNPs. TEM images show that the average size of nanospheres synthesized by the supernatant was 196 nm. XRD analysis indicates the hexagonal crystals structure of SeNPs. FTIR and SDS-PAGE confirmed the proteins bound to the surfaces of SeNPs. SeNPs synthesized by cell-free supernatant showed no antimicrobial activities against Pseudomonas sp. PI1 and Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). These results suggest that proteins played an important role in biotransformation of SeNPs in an eco-friendly process, and SeNPs synthesized in this study were non-toxic and biologically compatible, which might be applied in other fields in the future.

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:The association between metabolic syndrome (MS) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is still unknown. The aim of this study was to elucidate how MS correlates with the prevalence and malignancy of RCC.Methods:This study enrolled 398 RCC patients (350 clear cell RCC patients, 5 XP11.2 transloca-tion RCC patients, 16 papillary RCC patients and 27 chromophobe RCC patients), 160 normal persons, and 32 benign renal tumor patients. The metabolic status of the patients was assessed, and the link between MS and the prevalence or malignancy of RCC was calculated.Results:Clear cell RCC patients had signiifcantly higher rates of hypertension, higher body mass index (BMI) and longer waist circumference. Forty-eight percent clear cell RCC patients had MS, while the number was 33% for papillary RCC, 26% for chromophobe RCC, 0% for XP11.2, 17% for AML, and 25%for normal people. MS patients had signiifcant higher rates of having clear cell RCC than no-MS patients, however this kind of difference was not seen in other types of RCC. Clear cell RCC patients with higher Furhman grade had lower rates of MS.Conclusion:Patients with MS are more likely to develop clear cell RCC. Patients with high Furhman grade tumors have low MS rates, indicating that high grade tumor may have other originating mechanisms other than metabolic disorders.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the alterations in renal function after radical nephrectomy (RN) and partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to determine the risk factors for the onset of postoperative renal function impairment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We assessed the renal function of 429 T1a RCC patients by investigating the time-dependent changes of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) after surgery from August 2003 to August 2010. Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to determine the risk factors for the onset of an eGFR < 60 ml · min⁻¹ · 1.73 m⁻² function, and to evaluate the prognosis for the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The mean eGFR values (ml · min⁻¹ · 1.73 m⁻²) at postoperative 1, 7 days, 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months were 51.4 ± 12.6, 52.1 ± 17.8, 53.2 ± 19.5, 54.6 ± 20.2, 53.8 ± 16.6, 52.7 ± 22.3 and 51.5 ± 18.4 in the RN group and 69.6 ± 18.3, 70.3 ± 19.5, 71.5 ± 21.4, 76.2 ± 22.8, 75.4 ± 19.7, 74.3 ± 16.3 and 73.1 ± 23.2 in the PN group, respectively. The eGFR of the radical nephrectomy group was significantly lower than that of the partial nephrectomy group (P < 0.05). Multivariable analysis revealed that radical nephrectomy and age were risk factors for the onset of postoperative chronic renal dysfunction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Renal function recovered partially after partial and radical nephrectomy and is maintained constantly after 3 months. Surgical mode and age are risk factors for the onset of postoperative eGFR < 60 ml · min⁻¹ · 1.73 m⁻² impairment. Compared with radical nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy can preserve renal function and reduce the incidence of postoperative chronic renal dysfunction.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate clinical factors affecting Gleason score upgrade in patients receiving radical prostatectomy (RP).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 322 patients with prostate cancer who received RP from January 2012 to December 2013 at Department of Urology at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were included, and their data of age, body mass index (BMI), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume, percentage core, clinical staging, pathological characteristics, biopsy Gleason score and RP Gleason score were analyzed. Differences in categorical variables and continuous variables were compared using χ² tests and Student's t-test, respectively. Unconditional multiple logistic regression was used to estimate OR and 95% CI of the association of Gleason score upgrade with clinical factors.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Gleason score upgrade occurred in 107 of 322 (33.3%) patients. There was no difference in age, BMI and clinical staging between the two groups. Compared with patients without Gleason score upgrade, higher levels of PSA (χ² =6.740, P=0.034), smaller prostate volume (t=3.481, P=0.002) and elevated percentage core (t=-2.097, P=0.037) were observed in patients with Gleason score upgrade. In addition, lymph node metastasis (χ² =4.193, P=0.041) and extracapsular extension (χ² =4.747, P=0.029) were more common in patients with Gleason score upgrade. After adjusting for potential confounders, PSA levels (OR=2.451, 95% CI: 1.290-4.660), prostate volume (OR=0.982, 95% CI: 0.969-0.995) and percentage core (OR=2.756, 95% CI: 1.033-7.357) were independent predictors for Gleason score upgrade.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Gleason score upgrade happens at a relatively high rate. PSA levels, prostate volume and percentage core are important factors affecting Gleason score upgrade.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the risk factors to impact biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 1 090 patients who received radical prostatectomy from May 2002 to December 2013 in Department of Urology of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were recruited. The average age of the patients was 67.9 years (ranged from 41 to 84 years) and the average preoperative prostate specific antigen (PSA) level was 32.7 (ranged from 3.2 to 256.3) µg/L. The distribution of patients with respect to clinical stage was: 20.09% (219/1 090) had T1, 50.09% (546/1 090) had T2 and 29.82% (325/1 090) had T3. The biochemical-free-survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method and the univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to evaluate the clinical and pathological variables for the development of biochemical recurrence.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of all the 1 090 patients, the biochemical recurrence free survival was 95.99%, 81.90% and 70.89% at 1, 3 and 5 years. PSA level at diagnosis (P=0.000), neo-adjuvant hormonal therapy (P=0.001), pre-operative Gleason score (P=0.000), clinical stage (P=0.010), surgical margin status (P=0.028), post-operative Gleason score (P=0.000), pathological stages (P=0.000) and pelvic lymph-node metastasis (P=0.000) were associated with biochemical recurrence in the univariate analysis. However, in the multivariate analysis, only PSA level at diagnosis (P=0.000), pre-operative Gleason score (P=0.020), pathological stages (P=0.014) and pelvic lymph-node metastasis (P=0.017) were independent prognostic factors.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>For the patients who received radical prostatectomy, PSA level at diagnosis, pre-operative Gleason score, pathological stages and pelvic lymph-node metastasis status are independent prognostic factors for biochemical recurrence.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the impact of androgen receptor splice variant 7 (AR-V7) expression on overall survival for patients with metastatic prostate cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The data of 113 diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer patients from January 2002 to June 2010 were collected retrospectively, including patient's age at diagnosis, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level at diagnosis,Gleason score, clinical stage, PSA nadir during hormonal therapy, the time to PSA nadir, vital status, survival time and cause of death. The expression of AR-V7 in prostate cancer tissue was detected by using immunohistochemical staining. The correlation of AR-V7 expression and patient clinicopathological characteristics in all patients were analysed using Student t-test or Chi-square test. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to evaluate the predictive role of AR-V7 expression and patient characteristics for overall survival.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The median PSA nadir was 0.7 µg/L (ranged from 0.0 to 143.0 µg/L). The median time to PSA nadir was 8.1 months (ranged from 0.9 to 71.0 months). The follow-up was performed until March 12, 2014. During the follow-up period, 67 of 113 metastatic prostate cancer patients (59.3%) died and the median overall survival was 96 months (ranged from 5 to 135 months). The AR-V7 detection rate was 20.4% (23/113). The serum PSA level in patients with positively expression of AR-V7 was significantly higher than that without AR-V7 expression (t = 2.521, P = 0.013). Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the expression of AR-V7 (HR = 2.421, P = 0.002) and time to PSA nadir (HR = 1.019, P = 0.022) were independent prognostic factors of overall survival for metastatic prostate cancer patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression of AR-V7 in prostate cancer tissues and time to PSA nadir during hormonal therapy are independent prognostic factors of overall survival for metastatic prostate cancer patients. Therapy targeting AR-V7 may improve prognosis of metastatic prostate cancer patients.</p>

ABSTRACT

Background and purpose:To perform whole mount technique in the diagnosis of the prostate cancer could provide orientation to the specimen. Whole mount technique has great value in pathologic diagnosis and morphological research. However, limited by the specimen-making technique, shortage of equipment and heavy workload, this technique has not been generally accepted in China. The aim of this study was to evaluate the signiifcance of whole mount technique in the diagnosis of the prostate cancer by comparing the clinical and pathological variables between whole mount patients and conventional ones after radical prostatectomy (RP).Methods:A total number of 229 patients’ whole mount RP specimens were recruited in the study from Dec. 2012 to Feb. 2014. The control group included 393 patients’ specimens which underwent conventional sampling from Jan. 2010 to Jun. 2012. We compared the clinical and pathological variables between the groups, including age, preoperative PSA level, methods of diagnosis, preliminary diagnostic Gleason score, clinical T stage, postoperative Gleason score, pathological T stage, positive surgical margin, extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis.Results:Two groups shared similar preoperative parameters. Also there was no signiifcant difference between the whole mount and the conventional sampling groups in postoperative Gleason score, pathological T stage, extraprostatic extension and pelvic lymph node metastasis. However, positive surgical margin and seminal vesicle invasion rates were much higher in the whole mount group than the control one and both of the differences reached statistical signiifcance (26.2%vs 17.6%, 23.1%vs 17.0%;P=0.010, 0.025)Conclusion:After compared the clinical and pathological variables, we could conclude that whole mount technique has prevalence in the diagnosis of the positive surgical margin and seminal vesicle invasion compared with the conventional sampling technique. Thus, whole mount technique should be strongly recommended in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
