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.

To explore the effect of using regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO2) monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy in peri-anesthesia management of elderly hypertensive patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery. ⋯ rScO2 monitoring with near-infrared spectroscopy in peri-anesthesia management of elderly patients with hypertension undergoing shoulder arthroscopic surgery can effectively stabilize hemodynamics and reduce the incidence of postoperative POCD.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided sheath (EBUS-GS) and electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy combined with EBUS (ENB-EBUS) are two diagnostic methods used to obtain lung tissue for biopsy of peripheral lung lesions. This study retrospectively summarized the case data of patients who underwent EBUS-GS or ENB-EBUS, both procedures performed at the respiratory endoscopy center of Tangdu Hospital, and the study compared the diagnostic efficacy and complications of the two methods. The study included 93 patients who underwent EBUS-GS and 26 who underwent ENB-EBUS. ⋯ An analysis of the complications showed that the incidence of complications in the EBUS-GS group was 8.4%, and the incidence of complications in the ENB-EBUS group was 3.8%, with no statistical difference (P>0.05). Both EBUS-GS and ENB-EBUS can be used for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary disease. However, the diagnostic rate of EBUS-GS is significantly higher than ENB-EBUS in cases with bronchial signs associated with the lesion, and the diagnostic rate of ENB-EBUS in cases with no bronchial signs was higher than that of EBUS-GS with no statistical difference.
