This study aimed to explore the correlation between serum vitamin D and inflammatory factors in mice with allergic rhinitis. ⋯ Vitamin D in young mouse is implicated with allergic rhinitis and attenuated inflammation. Vitamin D level was significantly negatively correlated with IL-4, suggesting that vitamin D was closely related to inflammation.

The optimal clinical treatment and the computed tomography (CT) morphological characteristics of posterior malleolar fractures (PMF) with talar subluxation remain inconclusive. Clinically, both plate screws and lag screws are widely used to fix posterior malleolar fragments using a direct or indirect approach. We sought to summarize the morphological characteristics and modified classification on the basis of CT and the intraoperative strategy for posterior talar subluxation in PMF. ⋯ According to the injury mechanism and the morphological characteristics of the fractures, the proposed improved classification system for PMF with subluxation of the talus based on the injury mechanism and the fracture morphology can provide guidance for surgical management strategies and achieve optimal outcomes.

To explore the effects of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) on the cardiopulmonary function, the exercise endurance, and the NT-proBNP and hscTnT levels in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. ⋯ CPET for patients with CHF helps increase heart and lung function, improves exercise endurance, reduces the NT-proBNP and hscTnT levels, and improves patients' quality of life.

To explore the application value of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) in patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy with fast-track anesthesia. ⋯ GDFT has a better effect on the rapid rehabilitation of patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy during fast-track anesthesia, and it also has a positive effect on maintaining the stability of hemodynamics, reducing systemic inflammation and decreasing postoperative complications.

To assess the influence of PDCA-based nursing management model on the quality of life (QOL) and complications of patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy. ⋯ The PDCA-based nursing management model applied to patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy has shown good effects, which can improve depression, anxiety, cancer fatigue, sleep quality and QOL. It also significantly reduced the incidence of complications and improved patients' satisfaction, which was worth of clinical application.
