Analysis of Influencing Factors of Moderate to Severe Malnutrition in Elderly Patients with Lung Cancer during Chemotherapy

Objective:This study aims to identify the factors influencing moderate to severe malnutrition in elderly lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and to provide a basis for developing clinical prevention and intervention strategies.Methods:The clinical data of 150 elderly lung cancer patients who received chemotherapy were retrospectively analyzed.Demographic data,clinical characteristics,laboratory indicators,treatment plans,and other relevant information were collected.Independent risk factors for moderate to severe malnutrition during chemotherapy were identified.Results:During chemotherapy,50 patients(33.33%)developed moderate to severe malnutrition.The BMI of patients with moderate to severe malnutrition was significantly lower than that of patients with no or mild malnutrition(21.20±1.60 vs.26.14±2.31,P<0.001),and the proportion of patients with stage IV tumors was significantly higher(60.00%vs.27.00%,P<0.001).Serum pre-albumin(pre-ALB)and hemoglobin(Hb)levels in patients with moderate to severe malnutrition were significantly lower than those in patients with no or mild malnutrition(152.67±30.41 g/L vs.252.47±51.24 g/L and 102.44±10.09 g/L vs.154.21±15.18 g/L,respectively,P<0.001 for all).Conclusion:Low BMI,decreased serum pre-ALB levels,and decreased serum Hb levels before chemotherapy are independent risk factors for moderate to severe malnutrition in elderly lung cancer patients during chemotherapy.Close clinical attention should be given to these patients,with early intervention measures such as nutritional support to reduce the incidence of malnutrition and improve patients’quality of life and prognosis.

Frequency and Profile of Severe Periodontitis in Kinshasa Dental Hospitals, DR Congo

Purpose: Severe periodontitis (SP) is the sixth most prevalent disease world-wide. Prevalence and incidence are poorly reported in DR Congo. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SP and to compare its profile with that of mild to moderate periodontitis (MMP). Materials and Methods: Four hundred and four patients from four hospitals of Kinshasa City Capital participated in this study. Probing pocket depth (PPD) at six sites per tooth, bleeding on probing (BoP) and plaque index (PIl) were the main clinical parameters assessed. Results: Out of 404 patients examined in this study, 92 (22.8%) had severe periodontitis and 276 (68.3%) had mild to moderate periodontitis. Among patients with SP, 48 (52%) were female, 44 (48%) were male and 63% of them had a PPD of 6 mm. SP was significantly different from MMP according to patients age, 47.3 ± 18.6 versus 32.87 ± 14.40 years old, p < 0.001;plaque index, 1.153 ± 0.39 versus 0.90 ± 0.39, p < 0.001;BoP, 26.65 versus 17.04, p < 0.001. Conclusion: The Frequency of SP is relatively high in patients attending dental services in Kinshasa City and SP is significantly different from MMP.

Application of Quality Control Circle Activity in Improving Effectiveness of Drug Intervention in Lung Cancer Patients with Moderate to Severe Pain

Objective:Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality of all malignant tumors in China.Cancer pain dramatically affects patients’comfort level,causing insomnia,anorexia,anxiety,fear,depression,and a decline in the quality of life(QOL).The literature suggests a shortage of adequate cancer pain management for 59.1% of patients in China.The quality control circle(QCC)activity reflects the people-oriented core idea of management.This study aimed to assess the efficacy of QCC in enhancing the effectiveness of drug interventions in lung cancer patients with moderate to severe pain.Methods:From January 2019 to July 2019,lung cancer patients with moderate to severe pain were treated with drugs.The total number of drug interventions was 3072.A QCC activity was performed following the ten steps of the plan-do-check-act(PDCA)model.The reasons for the poor effectiveness of drug intervention in lung cancer patients with moderate to severe pain were analyzed.Countermeasures were designed to improve the effectiveness of drug intervention,including setting up a pain college,writing a medication education manual,and formulating operational rules for the administration of narcotic drugs.The effectiveness of drug intervention in lung cancer patients with moderate to severe pain and activity ability scores of QCC members were analyzed statistically before and after QCC activity.The effectiveness of drug intervention was investigated and compared before and after establishing the QCC.Results:After establishing the PDCA model,the effectiveness of drug intervention for moderate to severe pain in lung cancer patients increased from 56.28% to 85.29%.Members had significant improvement in problem-solving ability,responsibility,communication,coordination,self-confidence,team cohesion,enthusiasm,QCC skills,and harmony.Conclusion:QCC activity can significantly improve the efficiency of drug intervention in lung cancer patients with moderate to severe pain and their quality of life.

Comparison of dental pulp periodontal therapy and conventional simple periodontal therapy as treatment modalities for severe periodontitis

BACKGROUND Severe periodontitis is a major oral health concern today as it can lead to loss of teeth.Conventional periodontal therapy has numerous pitfalls as it does not address the pulp-periodontal complex in its entirety.AIM To investigate the effect of dental pulp periodontal therapy on the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-10 in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF)in patients with severe periodontitis.METHODS Eighty-six patients with severe periodontitis were randomly divided into a research group(n=43)and a control group(n=43).The control group was treated with simple periodontal therapy,and the research group was treated with dental pulp periodontal therapy.The total effective rates of the treatments;periodontal status before and after treatment through the measurement of the periodontal pocket probing depth(PPD),gingival sulcus bleeding index(SBI),mobility(MD),and plaque index(PLI);the levels of inflammatory factors IL-1βand IL-10 in the GCF;and the incidence of complications were calculated for both groups and compared using the Student’s t test and theχ^(2) test.RESULTS The total effective rate of treatment in the study group(93.02%)was higher than that in the control group(76.74%;P<0.05).While before treatment,there was no significant difference in the PLI,MD,SBI,or PPD between the two groups,the post-treatment values of PLI,MD,SBI,and PPD(4.71±0.16 mm,0.61±0.09 mm,0.96±0.17 mm,and 0.76±0.26 mm,respectively)were significantly lower(P<0.05)in the research group than in the control group(5.35±0.24 mm,0.93±0.15 mm,1.35±0.30 mm,and 1.04±0.41 mm,respectively).There was no significant difference in the level of IL-1βor IL-10 in the GCF before treatment between the two groups;after treatment,the IL-1βlevel in the research group(139.04±15.54 pg/mL)was significantly lower than that in the control group(156.35±18.10 pg/mL),and the level of IL-10 in the research group(7.98±1.01 ug/L)was higher than that in the control group(5.56±0.96 ug/L)(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the study group(4.65%)was significantly lower than that of the control group(18.60%;P<0.05).CONCLUSION Endodontic therapy and periodontal treatment for patients with severe periodontitis can effectively reduce the levels of inflammatory factors in the GCF and the inflammatory reaction.In addition,it can improve the periodontal condition and the overall treatment effect,reduce the risk of complications,and ensure the safety of treatment.

Seeking Health Information Online:The Moderating Effects of Problematic Situations on User Intention

Purpose： This study investigates how online user intention in searching health information is affected by problematic situations.Design/methodology/approach： Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Technology Acceptance Model, and Sense-making theory, we propose two dimensions of problematic situations： urgency and severity of health issues being searched online. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey among 214 Wuhan University students and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis.Findings： Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and subjective norm can influence user intention to seek health information online. The urgency of problematic situations has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between perceived ease of use and user intention and the relationship between subjective norm and user intention. The severity of problematic situations has a negative moderating effect on the relationship between subjective norm and user intention.Research limitations： The respondents of the survey are limited to students in one Chinese university, so whether this study＇s results can be applied to another population or not remains to be verified. In addition, only two dimensions of problematic situations are considered in this study. Practical implications： The paper puts forward the moderating effect of problematic situations and verifies it, which is the compensation for online health information-seeking behavior research. Besides, our analyses have implications for professional design of health care systems and related consumer information searches, and improve their performance. Originality/value： Previous work has reported the effects of problematic situation on user intention to seek health information online, ignoring its influence on other factors. This empirical study extends that work to identify the influence of problematic situation when seeking intention-behavior data in two dimensions, urgency and severity.
