It was found that the above catalysts have good catalytic hydrogenation activity for carbon - carbon double bonds systems and reusability. Furthermore, XPS and IR spectra shouted that active component in the composite catalysts is atomic Pd(0). An addition of a small amount of Fe2O3 has a promotive action upon hydrogenation activity of the catalysts, which indicated that there are some strong interactions (electron transfer) between Pd(0) and Fe(Ⅲ) species. Based on these results, a possible catalytic hydrogenation mechanism was also suggested.展开更多

Methods: Laparoscopic SPA-IPOM is done through a 10 mm trocar with one 10 mm instrument that has 5 mm optical lens and 5 mm channel for grasper. After inserting 10 mm trocar at umbilicus using semi-open technique, intraperitoneal anatomical landmark of inguinal her-nia is identified. A 10 × 15 cm pre-tied bioresorbable composite mesh is then placed to cover hernia defect and all three potential area of indirect, direct and femoral hernia. Using Endoclose? needle, each pair of pre-tied sutures is retrieved percutaneously through a needle wound and extracorporeal tied with knot in subcutaneous space. After the upper half of mesh is sutured to the posterior surface of abdominal wall, the lower half of mesh is fixed by hernia tacker to Symphysis Pubis, Cooper Ligament and Iliopubic tract. Re-sults: Three men, average 48 year olds were operated by laparoscopic 10 mm SPA-IPOM for bilateral in-guinal hernia repair using bioresorbable composite mesh. Average operative time was 36 minutes. No imme-diate complication. All patients were discharge on the 2nd post-operative day and average 6 months follow up has no recurrence. Conclusions: Laparoscopic SPA-IPOM is an optional operation and is much easier to be performed. Benefits include operative time saving, cosmesis, early discharge and early return to work. Bio-resorbable composite mesh prevents bowel adhesion, however, is much more expensive. Long term follow up study for complications and recurrence is needed.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Cancer patients with an implanted venous access port(IVAP)often manage their care at home during chemotherapy intervals,including maintaining the device,monitoring complications,and following medication instructions.Home care ensures continued support after discharge.However,due to factors such as age,gender,culture,psychological status,and family support,the quality of home care varies significantly.Understanding these factors can help provide targeted guidance to improve the care of cancer patients.AIM To explore IVAP chemotherapy on home care quality and its association with mental health and family support for cancer patients.METHODS This investigative study was based on a medical records system.It investigated the relationship between psychological status,family support,and home care quality in 180 patients with cancer undergoing IVAP chemotherapy.Psychological status was assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory(S-AI);family support was assessed using the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS),and home care quality was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30).Pearson’s correlation and Structural Equation Modeling were used to analyze the interplay between these factors.RESULTS The average S-AI score was 47.52±14.47,PSSS was 52.48±12.64,and EORTC QLQ-C30 was 70.09±17.32.A substantial inverse relationship was observed between the EORTC QLQ-C30 and S-AI scores(r=-0.712).A significant positive correlation was found between the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the PSSS,with a correlation coefficient of(r=0.744).The multiple linear regression analysis indicated that family social support,psychological status,and average monthly family income were the main factors influencing the variation in the quality of home care,explaining 71.9%of the variation.The Structural Equation Modeling results indicated that psychological status acted as a partial mediator in the association between family social support and home care quality of life,explaining 32.78%of the mediation effect.CONCLUSION Psychological status and family social support positively impacted cancer patients’home care quality,with psychology partially mediating this effect.

文摘BACKGROUND Central venous access is essential for administering chemotherapy in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.Peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC)and totally implantable venous access ports(TIVAP)are widely used,but comparative data regarding their impact on catheter-related complications and quality of life(QoL)remain limited.AIM To evaluate the impact of TIVAPs compared with PICC on catheter-related complications and QoL in patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing chemotherapy.METHODS This retrospective study included adults with gastrointestinal cancer who underwent central venous access device insertion for chemotherapy at our institution between December 2021 and December 2024.Inclusion criteria encompassed indications for intermittent intravenous chemotherapy,anticipated treatment duration of≥12 weeks,an adequate preoperative hematologic profile,accessible upper body veins,and complete medical records.Patients were excluded if they had an anticipated survival of less than three months,active systemic infection,severe thrombosis or coagulopathy,communication barriers,or an urgent need for dialysis access.Patients were assigned to either the PICC or TIVAP group based on device type.Data collected included demographic variables,cancer characteristics,insertion procedure details,complications,and QoL,assessed via the EuroQol 5-Dimensions-3 levels,visual analogue scale,and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire-Core 30.RESULTS A total of 346 patients were analyzed.Baseline demographic,clinical,and cancer characteristics were similar between groups.The TIVAP group demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of catheter-related complications than the PICC group,with no pneumothorax occurring in either group.QoL assessments at baseline were comparable.At one month,the TIVAP group exhibited significantly higher EuroQoL Five Dimensions health state scores and QLQ-C30 global health status scores.Multivariate analysis identified TIVAP use,catheter tip placement in the distal superior vena cava/right atrium,prophylactic antibiotic administration,and antimicrobial dressing application as independent protective factors associated with reduced complications and improved QoL.CONCLUSION In patients with gastrointestinal cancer undergoing chemotherapy,TIVAPs are associated with a lower incidence of catheter-related complications and improved QoL than PICCs.Optimal device selection,precise catheter tip positioning,and effective perioperative management are critical for minimizing complications and enhancing patient-reported outcomes during treatment.
