Abstract

Zhigui Li,1 Zhaofen Xu,2 Yuqian Huang,1 Rui Zhao,1 Yaping Cui,1 Yong Zhou,1 Xiaoting Wu11Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan 610041, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Pathology, The Second People’s Hospital, Neijiang, Sichuan 641000, People’s Republic of ChinaPurpose: Preoperative platelet-to-monocyte ratio (PLR), albumin and hemoglobin are suggested prognostic indicators in various malignancies. However, the prognostic values of PLR, albumin and hemoglobin remain elusive. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prognostic values of PLR, albumin and hemoglobin in stage I-III colon cancer.Patients and methods: A total of 312 patients with non-metastatic colon cancer undergoing curative resection were enrolled in this study. The prognostic values of PLR, albumin and hemoglobin were identified by receiver operating characteristics, and univariate and multivariate analyses.Results: Univariate analysis revealed that preoperative PLR, albumin and hemoglobin were significantly associated with overall survival (OS) and that preoperative PLR and albumin were significantly associated with progression-free survival (PFS). Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative PLR was significantly associated with OS.Conclusion: Reduced preoperative PLR was significantly associated with better OS in patients with stage I-III colon cancer. Preoperative PLR was an independent prognostic indictor for OS in patients with colon cancer undergoing curative resection.Keywords: platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, albumin, hemoglobin, colon cancer, prognosis

Abstract

High Cl–concentration in saline wastewater (e.g., landfill leachate) limits wastewater purification. Catalytic Cl–conversion into reactive chlorine species (RCS) arises as a sustainable strategy, making the salinity profitable for efficient wastewater treatment. Herein, aiming to reveal the structure–property relationship in Cl–utilization, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) photocatalysts with coexposed {001} and {110} facets are synthesized. With an increasing {001} ratio, the RCS production efficiency increases from 75.64 to 96.89 μg L–1min–1. Mechanism investigation demonstrates the fast release of lattice Cl–as an RCS and the compensation of ambient Cl–. Correlation analysis between the internal electric field (IEF, parallel to [001]) and normalized efficiency on {110} (kRCS/S{110}, perpendicular to [001]) displays a coefficient of 0.86, validating that the promoted carrier dynamics eventually affects Cl–conversion on the open layered structure. The BiOCl photocatalyst is well behaved in ammonium (NH4+-N) degradation ranging from 20 to 800 mg N L–1with different chlorinity (3–12 g L–1NaCl). The sustainable Cl–conversion into RCS also realizes 85.4% of NH4+-N removal in the treatment of realistic landfill leachate (662 mg of N L–1NH4+-N). The structure–property relationship provides insights into the design of efficient catalysts for environment remediation using ambient Cl–.

Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of mental clinical nursing pathways on suicidal ideation and life quality of patients with malignant tumors., Methods: Two hundred patients with malignant tumors were randomly divided into a study group and a control group, with 100 patients in each group. During the treatment, patients in the study group received mental clinical nursing pathway care, while those in the control group were given the usual nursing care, such as timely inspection, nurse's reactions to patient's behavior, and execution of medical orders. Thereafter, the "self-rating idea of suicide scale" and Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) were used to compare the differences in the suicidal ideation of patients with malignant tumors between the two groups before and after the treatment., Results: There were no statistical differences in the scores of despair factor, optimistic factor, sleep factor, and cover factor between the two groups before the treatment (P>0.05). After different styles of nursing, the former four factors of patients in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01), while there were no significant differences in the score of cover factor between the two groups (P>0.05). The KPS of patients receiving mental clinical nursing pathway care was higher than those receiving usual nursing care, and there was a statistical significant difference between the two groups (P<0.01). Interestingly, the patients' suicidal ideation scale was negatively correlated with KPS (r =-0.29, P<0.05)., Conclusion: For individuals diagnosed with a malignant tumor, using a mental health clinical nursing pathway can effectively decrease the degree of suicidal ideation and positively impact the quality of life.
