Objective:To investigate the application of brain pattern of the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke.Methods:Sixty medical staff (30 doctors and 30 nurses) were included form the Second People's Hospital of Hefei. They were divided into experiment group (15 doctors and 15 nurses) and control groups (15 doctors and 15 nurses). The control group evaluated the condition of stroke patients according to the routine clinical data, while the experimental group evaluated it according to the conventional clinical data and NIHSS score brain chart. The efficiency of NIHSS brain pattern in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients was evaluated by questionnaire, and the differences of scores between two groups were compared by an independent sample t-test.Results:The doctors in the experiment group had a higher score of mastery of the patients' condition than those in the control group [(82.60±10.67) vs (72.27±8.65)], showing a statistically significant difference (t=2.911, P=0.007). The nurses in experiment group had a higher score of mastery of the patients' condition than those in the control group [(73.33±6.91) vs (51.07±6.88)], also showing a statistically significant difference (t=8.840, P<0.001).Conclusion:The NIHSS brain pattern can assist medical staff in the diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients.
Objective:To screen differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between colorectal cancer and normal colorectal mucosa tissues by bioinformatics and analyze their relationship with prognosis.Methods:Colorectal cancer gene microarrays datasets GSE110224, GSE41328 and GSE22598 were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. DEGs between colorectal cancer samples and normal tissue samples from those three datasets were screened by R software 4.0.3, and then GO and KEGG pathway analysis were carried out. The protein interaction network was constructed by STRING database, Cytoscape software v3.7.2 was used to screen the hub genes in the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Finally, the selected hub genes were validated and analyzed for the relationship with prognosis by the GEPIA database.Results:A total of 366 DEGs were screened, of which 128 were up-regulated and 238 were down-regulated. GO function enrichment showed hub genes were mainly involved in proteolysis, positive regulation of proliferation and other biological processes, and cellular component mainly enriched in extracellular space, extracellular region, mediating zinc ion binding, calcium ion binding and other molecular functions. KEGG analysis showed that the enriched pathways are mainly related to cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, chemokine signaling pathway and other signal transduction pathway. Ten hub genes were selected from the PPI network, including nine up-regulated genes, which were CXCL8, CXCL1, SPP1, COL1A1, SOX9, MMP3, COL1A2, CD44, CXCL5, and one down-regulated gene CXCL12. Those ten genes were verified by using GEPIA showing that eight of them existed significant difference and all of them were consistent with the above analysis. Survival analysis results showed that genes CXCL8, SPP1 and COL1A2 were significantly associated with the survival rate of colorectal tumor patients.Conclusion:CXCL8 and SPP1 may be prognosis key genes of colorectal tumor patients and may serve as a potential biomarker providing basis on molecular level for screening and diagnosis of colorectal tumor.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the tumor pa-tients with pathogens infection. Methods The clinical data of 43 tumor patients with pathogens infection ( the infection group) and 43 tumor patients without pathogens infection ( the non-infection group) ever treated in our hospital from Apr 2014 to Jan 2016 were retrospectively ana-lyzed. The variability and correlation of leukocyte count, neutrophils count, lymphocyte count, NLR, hemoglobin ( Hb) level and serum al-bumin ( ALB) level in the two groups were statistically analyzed and compared with the healthy controls. The risk factors of pathogens infec-tion in the tumor patients were analyzed by binary logistic regression, and the diagnostic value of NLR in the tumor patients with pathogens in-fection were evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic ( ROC) curves. Results NLR of the infection group was significantly higher than those of the non-infection group and healthy controls, and NLR of the non-infection group was also significantly higher than that of healthy controls (P=0. 000). Leukocyte count and neutrophils count of the infection group were significantly higher than those of the non-infection group and healthy controls (P =0. 000, P =0. 001), while no significant difference was found between the non-infection group and the healthy controls (P=0. 240, P=0. 666). Lymphocyte count, Hb and ALB levels of the infection group were significantly lower than those of the non-infection group and healthy controls (P=0. 000, P=0. 000, P=0. 003), and those of the non-infection group were also significant-ly lower than those of healthy controls (P=0. 000, P=0. 000, P=0. 000). NLR of the tumor patients was negatively associated with their serum ALB levels, Hb levels and lymphocyte count (r= -0. 530, r= -0. 216, r= -0. 740;P=0. 000, P=0. 046, P=0. 000), and was positively associated with their neutrophils count (r=0. 604, P=0. 000). Logistic regression analysis showed that the increase of NLR and the decrease of ALB were independent risk factors of the tumor patients with pathogens infection (P=0. 001, P=0. 023). ROC curves resul-ted that area under the curve (AUC) of NLR was 0. 864 (P=0. 000), and when the NLR value being 4. 19 and 4. 62, the NLR sensitivity of infection diagnosis were 88. 39% and 83. 7%, the NLR specificity were 69. 77% and 74. 4%, respectively, with the best diagnostic val-ue. The AUC of neutrophils count was 0. 647 (P=0. 018), and the leukocyte count showed no diagnostic value for infection (P=0. 237). Conclusion The peripheral blood NLR shows diagnositic value in the tumor patients with pathogens infection, and it also has correlation with the ALB and Hb levels.

Methods From March 2015 to March 2016, 60 breast cancer patients received 6 cycles of stand?ard chemotherapy in our hospital were evaluated by distress thermometer ( DT) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy?Breast ( FACT?B) . Depending on whether the DT≥4, patients were divided into high and low groups. The scores of quality of life were com?pared between both groups. The correlation of distress and quality of life were analyzed. Results Sixty patients completed the question?naire. The average FACT?B score was 124?3±11?2 in DT low group, while 89?5±15?6 in DT high group, and the difference between the two groups was significant ( t=10?06, P<0?05) . There was a negative correlation between the DT score and FACT?B score signifi?cantly ( r=-0?949,P<0?05) . Conclusion Patients with breast cancer present different degree of psychological distress after chemo?therapy, and the distress scores is closely related to quality of life.
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of 99m Tc -MIBI SPECT/CT imaging for diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism(SHPT),and to investigate the effect of possible factors on the parathyroid imaging.Methods A total of 35 patients were selected inthis study.Five minutes,thirty minutes (early phase)and two hours (delayed phase)after intravenous injection of 99m Tc-MIBI(740MBq),dual -phase planar imaging was performed,followed by SPECT/CT imaging over neck and chest.Thirty -five SHPT patientswere compared by both planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging,while diagnosis of twenty -nine patients included was confirmed by pa-thology.χ2 -test was used to compare the results of planar and SPECT/CT imaging using SPSS 16.0 software.Results Compared to71.43%(25 /35)of the positive rate in planar imaging,the positive rate of the SPECT/CT imaging was 91.43%(32 /35).Difference inthe positive rates between planar and SPECT/CT imaging was statistically significant(χ2 =5.1429,P <0.05).Conclusions SPECT/CT imaging is more efficient than planar imaging for the fusion imaging and CT diagnosis of parathyroid glands with secondary hyperpar-athyroidism.SPECT/CT parathyroid imaging combined with CT scan can provide more information about localization of the lesions,which highly improve the positive rate of parathyroids.
Objective To assess the accuracy and feasibility of adenosine stress myocardial perfusion scintigraghy(MPS)for the di-agnosis ofcoronary artery disease(CAD).Methods A total of32 suspected coronary artery disease patients mean age (64.3 ±11.6)years, 22 men,10 women were recruited in this study.Adenosine was infused intravenously at a rate of o.14mg/kg/min for 6 minutes.At the end of 3 minute of adenosine infusion,925MBq of 99mTc-MIBI was injected intravenously.SPECT myocardial imaging acquisition was obtained 1 hour after adenosine infusion.If it was abnormal,the next day resting myocardial perfusion imaging was performed.Coronary angiography was performed in all patients.Results Fourteen patients had significant coronary artery stenosis and 18 had normal coronary angiography.Adeno-sine myocardial perfusion imaging was abnormal in 12 out of the 14 patients with significant coronary artery stenosis(sensitivity,85.71%). Fourteen out of the 18 patients with normal angiography had a normal adenosine myocardial perfusion imaging (specificity,77.78%).The positive predictive value and negative predictive value of adenosine 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging for detection of coronary ar-tery disease was 75%and 87.5%,respectively.Conclusion Adenosine myocardial perfusion imaging is probably an accurate method for de-tecting coronary artery disease and myocardial viability and is of value for patients with coronary disease to choose appropriate therapeutic strategies.
