Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the effect and mechanism of anlotinib on radiosensitization of human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.   Methods   Human lung adenocarcinom cell line A549 was treated with anlotinib and/or radiotherapy, then divided in to four groups, control group (Ctrl), Anlotinib treatment group (A), irradiation group (RT) and anlotinib combined with irradiation group (A + RT). CCK8 method was used to determine cell proliferation; the clone formation experiment was used to determine the inhibitory effect on cell growth; flow cytometry was used to determine cell cycle and apoptosis; immunofluorescence of γ-H2AX was used to determine DNA damage; expression of DNA-PKcs were detected by Western blot.   Results   Anlotinib inhibited proliferation and clonogenic survival following irradiation. The dose (Dq), the average lethal dose (D0) and the survival score (SF2) in the anlotinib combined radiotherapy group was significantly lower than those in the radiotherapy group. Anlotinib decreased G2/M phase arrest and promoted the cells apoptosis induced by in irradiation. The confocal microscopy results showed the average number of γ-H2AX foci in the A+RT group was more than that in RT group. The protein levels of DNA-PKcs were higher in A + RT group than that in RT group.   Conclusion   Anlotinib enhances the radiosensitivity of A549 cells, which may be attributed to the delay DNA damage repair. It provides a rationale strategy by Anlotinib combined with irradiation for NSCLC.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effect of PTEN gene expression on the apoptosis of BCPAP cells and FTC133 thyroid cancer cells and on the expression of signal pathway proteins ERK and AKT.  Methods  BCPAP cells and FTC133 cells were transfected with PTEN-pCMV6 and silenced si-PTEN RNA, before the cell microscopic morphology changes were observed. Cell viability was measured by MTT, and apoptosis rate was measured by Annexin V-FITC and PI double staining flow cytometer, respectively. Furthermore, the protein expression levels of ERK, AKT, Bax, Bcl-2, caspase 8, 9, 12 and 3 were detected by Western blot. The association between different expression of PTEN gene and the apoptosis of BCPAP and FTC133 thyroid cancer cells and the expression of signal pathway proteins were analyzed.  Results  Compared with control group, when the PTEN gene was overexpressed, BCPAP and FTC133 thyroid cancer cells showed microscopic apoptotic changes such as deformation, volume reduction and nuclear pyknosis. The cell viability was decreased (P < 0.01), and the cell apoptosis rate was increased (P < 0.01). The expression levels of the apoptotic proteins caspase 8, 9, 12, 3, and proapoptotic protein Bax were significantly increased (P < 0.01), and the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly decreased (P < 0.01), the expression of ERK and AKT were decreased (P < 0.05). The reduction degree of ERK relative expression in FTC133 cells was significantly higher than that in BCPAP cells (P < 0.01), while the reduction degree of AKT relative expression in BCPAP and FTC133 cells was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). After PTEN gene silencing, compared with the control group, the number, cell morphology, volume and nuclear morphology of BCPAP and FTC133 were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The change of cell viability and apoptosis rate were not significantly different (P > 0.05). The expression levels of apoptotic proteins caspase 8, 9, 12, 3, and proapoptotic protein Bax was significantly decreased (P < 0.01), and the expression level of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 were significantly increased (P < 0.01). The expression levels of ERK and AKT in FTC133 cells were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01), and the expression levels of ERK in BCPAP cells were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, there was no statistically significant difference in the expression level of AKT (P > 0.05). The relative expression level of ERK increased in BCPAP and FTC133, but there was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). The relative expression level of AKT increased in FTC133 cells than that in BCPAP cells (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  PTEN gene promotes the apoptosis of BCPAP and FTC133 cells. Mitochondrial pathway, death receptor pathway and endoplasmic reticulum activation pathway are all involved in the process of BCPAP and FTC133 cell apoptosis. ERK plays an important role in PTEN gene regulation of BCPAP cell apoptosis, while AKT and ERK both are involved in the process of PTEN gene promoting FTC133 apoptosis.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the role of Stargazin-nitroso modification in synaptic plasticity after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, and to investigate the molecular mechanism of NO regulating AMPAR “trafficking”.  Methods  The rat model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was replicated by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) method, and the animal model was interfered with NMDAR inhibitor MK801 and oxidative reductant DTT, respectively. mNSS score was used to detect the neurological function of rats. TTC staining and Western Blot were used to detect the ischemic injury of the brain; TUNEL staining was used to detect the apoptosis of hippocampal neurons in the ischemic side; Griess staining was used to detect the content of NO in the ischemic side of hippocampal tissue, and Western Blot was used to detect the stargazin-nitrogenization modification level and AMPAR protein expression and activation in the hippocampal tissue.  Results  After treatment with MK801 and DTT, the Stargazin-nitroso modification level (P < 0.01) and NO content (P < 0.01) in MCAO/R model were decreased. Phosphorylation of GluR2 in AMPAR subunit was decreased (P < 0.0001); Inhibition of Stargazin’ s nitrosylation modification improved MCAO/ R-induced nerve damage and apoptosis (P < 0.001).  Conclusion  Inhibition of endogenous NO and Stargazin nitrosylation levels promotes synaptic remodeling in the MCAO/R model, possibly by interfering with the GluR2 affinity between Stargazin helper proteins and AMPAR subunit.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the recognition and satisfaction of medical institutions on public health service in the poor mountainous areas of western Yunnan, to explore issues and solutions, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the capacity building of public health service in western Yunnan.  Methods  Using multi-stage sampling method, three sample counties in the poor mountainous area of western Yunnan were selected, and the health personnel in the county and village level medical and health institutions were taken as the research subjects. Qualitative and quantitative research were conducted through literature analysis and questionnaire survey.  Results  The majority of health professionals at the county and township levels are college graduates, and only 30% have bachelor’ s degrees. The education level of health professionals at the village level was mainly secondary vocational school, and only 1.8% have bachelor’ s degree. There were differences in the degree of public health care at the county and village levels, and County L had higher degree of public health care at the county and township levels (all P < 0.05). County-level personnel in County L and County C were more satisfied with the guidance and management of superior medical institutions (P = 0.004), and township personnel were more satisfied with the standard of public health service subsidy (P = 0.006).  Conclusion  The recognition and satisfaction of public health services in the poor mountainous areas of western Yunnan is generally high, the recognition in County C is low, and the degree of satisfaction in City S is low. At the same time, there are problems such as lack of public health talents and low educational level. Therefore, the construction of public health talents should be continued to be strengthened to promote the equality of public health services in the poor mountainous areas of western Yunnan.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate the correlation between serum soluble oncogenic inhibitor 2 (sST2) level and cardiac function and remodeling in patients with heart failure (HFrEF) with reduced ejection fraction.   Methods   A total of 110 patients with HFrEF admitted to the Department of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from July 2019 to September 2020 were enrolled. Serum sST2 levels were detected by immunofluorescence dry quantitative method, and parameters reflecting cardiac function and structure in echocardiography were collected. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), interventricular septal thickness, left atrial inner diameter, right atrial length diameter, left ventricular posterior wall, right ventricular length diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) and other indicators were calculated. LVEDVI and LVESVI were calculated. The subjects were divided into low level group (sST2 < 20.0 ng/mL, n = 55) and high level group (sST2 ≥20.0 ng/mL, n = 55) according to the median serum sST2 level of 20.0 ng/mL. The correlation between serum sST2 level and cardiac function and cardiac remodeling indexes was analyzed.   Results   Among 110 HFrEF patients, the median serum sST2 level was 20.0 ng/mL. Patients with higher serum sST2 level were more likely to have chronic kidney disease and thyroid dysfunction than patients with lower serum sST2 level. Patients with higher serum sST2 level had higher D-dimer, B-type natriuretic peptide, creatinine, uric acid, aspartate aminotransferase level, and larger right atrial diameter, higher pulmonary artery systolic pressure than patients with lower serum sST2 level (P < 0.05). Serum sST2 level was positively correlated with pulmonary artery systolic pressure ( r = 0.284, P = 0.003) and right atrial diameter (r = 0.356, P = 0.000).   Conclusion   In HFrEF patients, serum sST2 level was positively correlated with pulmonary artery systolic pressure and right atrial diameter. The higher sST2 level was, the larger right atrial diameter and pulmonary artery systolic pressure were. In other words, serum sST2 level in patients with HFrEF is correlated with right heart function. Serum sST2 may play an important role in cardiac remodeling in patients with HFrEF.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze and evaluate the application value of dry fluorescent luminescence in the diagnosis and treatment of HBV infection.  Methods  A total of 397 serum samples were collected from patients attending Liver Diseases Department of the Third People’ s Hospital of Kunming from June 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Among these samples, 360 were detected for HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb and HBcAb by dry fluorescent luminescence method and ELISA, and 37 HBsAg positive samples in HBeAg seroconversion period detected by electrochemiluminescence method were tested for HBsAg, HBeAg and HBeAb by three methods: dry fluorescent luminescence method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and colloidal gold method. The positive coincidence rate, negative coincidence rate and total coincidence rate of each test item by dry fluorescent luminescence method in diagnosis and treatment of HBV infection were compared and analyzed.  Results  The S/C value of ELISA was consistent with the trend of S/C value of dry fluorescent luminescence method, showing a certain positive correlation (r = 0.819, 0.913, 0.906, 0.732, 0.842, P < 0.001). The positive coincidence rate, negative coincidence rate and total coincidence rate of the five items of HBV by the two detection techniques were more than 90%, with high consistency (Kappa = 0.949, 0.944, 0.955, 0.842, 0.949). The results of 37 serum samples from HBsAg positive HBeAg seroconversion period showed that the coincidence rate between dry fluorescent luminescence method and Roche electrochemiluminescence HBeAb was 100% (37/37), much higher than that of ELISA 18.92% (7/37) and colloidal gold 5.40% (2/37).  Conclusion  Dry fluorescent luminescence method can effectively reflect the serological conversion period of HBeAg. Conventional HBV screening test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have a high consistency. At the same time, it has the advantages of short detection time, no frequent manual operation and simple operation, so it has a good application prospect.

All patients were divided into Early tracheotomy group [≤ 10 d Early tracheotomy (ET) group] and Late tracheotomy group [> 10 d Late tracheotomy (LT) group] based on the time of endotracheal intubation. Among them, 38 were male and 18 were female, aged 44-86 years. The basic characteristics, length of stay in intensive care unit (ICU) after tracheotomy, total length of stay in ICU, and the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the duration of antibiotic use in patients with pulmonary infection, the incidence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in sputum culture and the distribution of bacterial flora in bacterial culture in the 2 groups were compared.  Results  There were no differences between the two groups in general characteristics, such as age, gender, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEII)score and Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score (P > 0.05). The incidence of VAP and the length of post-PDT ICU stay also showed no different between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, in the early tracheotomy group, total ICU stay (median 15.5 and 22 d, respectively, P < 0.001), duration of antibiotic use [(11.8±3.2) d and (17.1±4.1) d, respectively, P < 0.001] and the incidence of multiple drug resistance was significantly reduced compared with the late tracheotomy group (39% and 79%, respectively, P = 0.003). The incidence of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection was lower in the early tracheotomy group (P = 0.029, respectively).  Conclusion  ET in patients with severe cerebrovascular disease might contribute to a shorter duration of ICU length of stay, lower incidence of MDR, and shorter duration of antibiotic use. But ET does not reduce the incidence of VAP. Further assessment through effective methods is necessary for tracheotomy indication and timing.

Abstract:
  Objective  To analyze the drug resistance of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae causing bloodstream infection in our hospital from 2017 to 2020, so as to provide reference for clinical treatment of children with bloodstream infection.  Methods  The blood culture results of outpatients and inpatient children with clinical diagnosis of bacteremia in our hospital from January, 2017 to April, 2020 were collected, and data were analyzed by WHONET 5.6 software.  Results  A total of 193 strains of Escherichia coli were isolated from blood culture positive samples, including 100 strains (51.8%) producing extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs), 8 strains (3.3%) of carbapenem resistant Escherichia coli (CR-ECO). There were 46 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae, including 18 strains (39.1%) producing extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs), and 14 strains (30.4%) of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-KPN). The resistance rate of ESBLs producing strains of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae was higher than that of non-ESBLs producing strains. The resistance rate of CR-ECO to aztreonam was 85.7%, and the resistance rates to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and cotrimoxazole were 100%; The resistance rate of CR-KPN to aztreonam was 61.1%, the resistance rates to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin was 44.4%, and the resistance rate to cotrimoxazole was 5.6%. The MIC value of imipenem in 12 CR- KPN strains were greater than 16 µg/mL, accounting for 85.7% (12/14). The MIC value of imipenem in 7 CR-ECO strains were greater than 16 µg/mL, accounting for 87.5% (7/8). The highest distribution of isolated strains in clinical departments was in neonatology department, followed by hematology tumor and intensive care unit; most of the newborns aged < 28 days, followed by > 28 days to 1 year old.  Conclusion  The neonatal ward, hematological oncology and intensive care unit of our hospital have higher prevelance of bloodstream infection of multiple drug resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. These infections are difficult to treat, which is an issure we should address. It is particularly important to control infection effectively and reduce the emergence of drug-resistant strains.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the clinical characteristics of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients among Tibetans in Deqin, analyze the influencing factors of HbA1c, and explore the correlation between HbA1c and hemoglobin (Hb) in Tibetan population at high altitude.  Methods  Clinical data of 120 tibetan patients with medical examination or receiving diagnosis and treatment in People’ s Hospital of Deqinfrom May 2018 to June 2020 were collected, and they were divided into three groups according to blood glucose level: newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes group, pre-diabetes group and normal glucose tolerance group. General data and laboratory indexes among the three groups were compared. According to hemoglobin level, the subjects were divided into high hemoglobin group and normal hemoglobin group. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), two-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2 hPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels between the two groups were compared. The relationship between HbA1c and FPG, 2 hPG and Hb was analyzed by multiple linear regression.  Results  Comparedwith the normal glucose tolerance group, the diabetes group had higher body mass index (BMI), triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and fatty liver ratio (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in gender, age, hypertension, high density lipoprotein (HDL), uric acid (UA), red blood cell (RBC) and Hb among the three groups. There was no significant difference in FPG, 2 hPG and HbA1c between the high hemoglobin group and the normal hemoglobin group (P > 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that both FPG and 2 hPG affected HbA1c, but Hb did not. The regression equation was y = 2.422 + 0.217 × FPG + 0.227 × 2 hPG (R2 = 0.73, P < 0.05).  Conclusion  BMI, TG, TC and fatty liver in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus in Deqin Tibetan nationality is higher, which is a clue for early recognition of diabetes. The main influencing factors of HbA1c were FPG and 2 hPG. Hb was not the influencing factor of HbA1c.

Abstract:
  Objective  To explore the correlation between adipose tissue around the heart (pericardial adipose tissue, PAT; epicardial adipose tissue, EAT) and severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis with the Dual-source CT.  Methods  223 patients suspected with coronary artery disease underwent Dual-source CT coronary angiography were enrolled in this study. The severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis were evaluated by using Circulation software. The correlation between PAT volume, EAT volume, EAT/PAT ratio and gender, with or without coronary atherosclerosis and the degree of coronary atherosclerosis were analyzed.   Results  There was no gender difference in PAT volume and EAT volume between the two groups (P > 0.05), and there was gender difference in EAT/PAT ratio between the two groups (P < 0.05). PAT volume, EAT volume and EAT/PAT ratio were positively correlated with coronary atherosclerosis in males and females (P < 0.05). PAT volume, EAT volume and EAT/PAT ratio were positively correlated with the presence and absence of coronary atherosclerosis in all patients (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  The correlation between EAT volume and CAS is higher than PAT volume, while the ratio of EAT/PAT has higher correlation with CAS than PAT volume and EAT volume, which should be able to predict CHD more accurately.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the value of colposcopic cervix tube scraping (ECC) in the detection of low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) and above.  Methods  The clinical data of 1104 women who underwent cervical thin-thickness liquid-based cytology (TCT), human papillomavirus (HPV), colpopcopy, cervical biopsy and ECC in the gynecological outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from June 2018 to June 2020 were statistically analyzed.  Results  18.75% (207/1104) women with LSIL+ were diagnosed by ECC, and additional detection was 8.82% (60/680). Univariate analysis showed that women’ s age (P < 0.001), cytology abnormality (P < 0.001), HPV16/18 infection (P < 0.001), colposcopy satisfaction (P < 0.001), cervical biopsy pathology(P < 0.001)were statistically different for LSIL+ detection ECC. Multivariate regression analysis also showed that LSIL + detection of ECC was related to women’ s age (P = 0.017), cytology abnormality (P < 0.001), HPV16/18 infection (P < 0.001), colposcopy satisfaction (P < 0.001), cervical biopsy pathology (P < 0.001).  Conclusion  Multi-point cervical biopsy and ECC under full colposcopy can improve the detection rate of cervical LSIL+ lesions, which is very important for early diagnosis and early treatment of cervical intraepithelial lesions and cervical cancer, but the value of ECC is still limited. It is recommended that ECC should be performed for cytological abnormalities, especially those with high-grade abnormalities, HPV16/18 type infection, those with unsatisfactory colposcopy, those with high-grade cervical lesions and older people, so as to increase the detection of cervical lesions.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the correlation between Vitamin D receptor gene Bg1I, Cdx-2 polymorphism with Hashimoto’ s thyroiditis (HT).  Methods  The SNP of VDR gene Bg1I and CDX-2 in 178 HT patients were detected by TaqMan fluorescent probe, including 56 patients with normal thyroid function (H0 group), 80 patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (H1 group), 42 patients with hypothyroidism (H2 group) and 64 healthy controls (NT group). The genotype frequency, allele frequency and related clinical data were compared and analyzed.  Results  Bg1I GG, GT and TT genotypes frequencies were 0.500, 0.405 and 0.095, respectively; alleles G and T were 0.7025 and 0.2975, respectively. CDX-2 GG, GA and AA genotypes frequencies were 0.2934, 0.5289 and 0.1777, respectively; alleles G and A frequencies were 0.5579 and 0.4421, respectively. The genotype frequency and allele frequency in two groups were not significantly different (P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated 25 (OH) D deficiency might be an independent risk factor for HT (OR = 1.573, P = 0.046); male (OR = 0.158, P < 0.001) and CDX-2 G genotype (OR = 0.301, P = 0.035) may be protective factors for hypothyroidism in HT patients. High titrate TPO-Ab (OR = 1.639, P = 0.045) and TG-Ab (OR = 1.779, P = 0.035) may be risk factors for hypothyroidism in HT patients.  Conclusion  (1)Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were found at VDR BG1I and CDX-2 sites. (2)CDX-2 G genotype may be a protective factor of hypothyroidism in HT. (3)Bg1I single nucleotide polymorphism was not related to the occurrence and progression of HT.

Abstract:
  Objective   To investigate condylar morphology, position and mandibular symmetry in transverse discrepancy patients with temporomandibular joint disorders compared to those with normal occlusion.  Methods  18 transverse discrepancy patients with temporomandibular joint disorders and 18 normal occlusion participants were selected .CBCT (Cone Beam CT) was taken before treatment, and the condylar morphology, position and mandibular symmetry of the two groups were compared and analyzed.  Results  (1) There was no significant difference in the height of bilateral ascending ramus between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). The difference of mandibular symmetry index between experimental group and control group was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Mandibular symmetry in control group was better than that in the experimental group (P < 0.05); (2) There was no significant difference in anterior, superior and posterior joint space between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05). The condylar position on both sides of the control group was correlated (P < 0.05), while the condylar position on both sides of the test group was not(P > 0.05).(3)The axial condylar angles on the left side and right side of the experimental group were (25.56 ± 8.69)° and (25.88 ± 10.19)°, respectively, which are significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant( P < 0.05). There was a correlation between the axial condylar angles in the two groups(P < 0.05). (4) Anteroposterior diameter of condyle in the experimental group was (16.47 ± 2.03) mm on the left side and (16.62 ± 2.16) mm on the right side.The left side of the control group was (17.76 ± 1.93) mm, and the right side was (17.84 ± 2.09) mm, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). The medio-lateral diameter of condyle in the experimental group was (7.12 ± 1.3) mm on the left, (6.78 ± 1.47) mm on the right, and that in the control group was (8 ± 0.88) mm on the left, and(7.76 ± 0.92)mm on the right, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). (5) There was no significant difference in the distance between the condylar center and the median sagittal plane between the two sides in both group (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in the anteroposterior orientation of the condylar center on both sides (P > 0.05). There was no correlation between the condylar and the median sagittal plane distance on both sides in the experimental group (P > 0.05), but there was correlation between the condylar and the median sagittal plane distance on both sides in the control group (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  In the patients with transverse discrepancy and TMD, the mandibular symmetry, disc-process relationship and bilateral condylar position had poor correlation, and the condylar was smaller than the normal occlusal patients. For patients with transverse discrepancy, TMJ should be actively evaluated to reduce the risk of orthodontic treatment.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases is a serious threat to human health, which is characterized by high morbidity, high lethality and disability. In recent years, studies have found that complement factor H (CFH) is a very important negative regulator in the complement system and inflammatory response. The decrease or absence of CFH can continuously activate the complement alternative pathway and enhance the mediated inflammatory response, leading to damage of endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes. CFH plays an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and is involved in the pathophysiology mechanism. This article reviewed the role and mechanism of CFH in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease.

All patients in the experimental group received FCC; that is, all patients had an assigned full-time nurse who was fully responsible for their home care from admission to later stage. The control group received routine nursing care. The patients were evaluated for postoperative nursing effect at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, and the evaluation indicators included medication compliance and patients’  quality of life.    Results   There was no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05) between the two groups in medication compliance and postoperative survival quality at 3 months after surgery; but in 6 months and 12 months, compared with the control group, experimental group’ s medication adherence and postoperative quality of life, were significantly increased (P < 0.05).    Conclusion   For patients undergoing heart valve replacement, FCC is associated with a higher postoperative medication compliance and a lower incidence of complications, leading to a higher quality of life.

Abstract:
  Objective  To investigate the effect of the shared decision-making in patients with primary liver cancer during perioperative period.  Methods  A total of 120 patients with primary liver cancer who underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy from November 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021 were selected and randomly divided into control group (n = 60) and experimental group (n = 60). The patients in the control group were treated with routine health intervention mode during perioperative period, while the patients in the experimental group were treated with the patient-nurse shared decision-making mode. The psychological pain degree (distress thermometer, DT), the hospital anxiety and depression degree (HADS), postoperative self-care ability (ADL), compliance behavior, length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction and follow-up visit rate were compared between the two groups.  Results  There was no significant difference in the psychological state and self-care ability between the experimental group and the control group (P > 0.05); Postoperative self-care ability, patient compliance behavior, length of hospital stay, medical satisfaction, follow-up visit rate were significantly better than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05).  Conclusion  Shared decision-making for primary liver cancer patients undergone laparoscopic hepatectomy is beneficial in reducing psychological distress, relieving patients’ anxiety depression, improving postoperative life self-care ability and improving the medical behavior, shortening the length of hospital stay, which is both safe and efficient for patients’ recovery, and is worthy of clinical promotion and reference.
