Objective To investigate the effects of training of Bobath position transfer technique for nurses.Methods Thirty nurses were recruited in the study using convenience sampling and received training of Bobath transfer technique.Five variables were evaluated before and after training:transfer skills,transfer intensity,sense of comfort,and sense of comfort and sense of security from simulated patients.Results Nurses' transfer skills and sense of comfort were higher after training (P<0.05).Transfer intensity was lower than before (P<0.05).Sense of comfort and sense of security from simulated patients were improved after the training (P<0.05).Conclusion Training of Bobath transfer technique can improve nurses' transfer skills and promote sense of comfort and sense of security from simulated patients.

Objective To develop a new scoring system,Daping orthopedics operation risk scoring system for senile patient(DORSSSP),for preoperative evaluation of operative risks in the elderly patients with hip fractures based on acute physiology and chronic health evaluation(APACHE)Ⅱ scoring system and physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM)and compare the new scoring system with APACHE Ⅱ and POSSUM in assessing surgical risks and predicting postoperative complications and mortalities.Methods A total of 260 patients with hip fractures treated in our department in recent five years were retrospectively and respectively evaluated with DORSSSP,POSSUM,progressed POSSUM(P-POSSUM)and APACHE Ⅱ scoring system to compare the value of three scoring systems in preoperative evaluation of operative risks and prediction of postoperative mortality and complications.Results POSSUM and DORSSSP predicted complications in 119 and 92 patients respectively,while the actual complication occurred in 84 patients.The prediction value of POSSUM was significantly higher than the actual value,while the prediction value of DORSSSP showed no statistical difference compared with the actual value.POSSUM,P-POSSUM and APACHEⅡ scoring systems predicted 16,10 and 12 deaths respectively,but there were six deaths in fact,with prediction value obviously higher than the actual value.DORSSSP predicted nine deaths,the closest value to the actual.Conclusions DORSSSP has good correlation with postoperative complications and mortalities.Compared with POSSUM and APACHE Ⅱ scoring system,more simple and practicable DORSSSP can more accurately evaluate the preoperative risks and predict the postoperative complications and mortalities in the elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective To evaluate the role of mangled extremity severity score(MESS)in res-ervation and amputation of crush lower limbs in earthquake. Methods There were 122 patients with crush lower limb injuries,with MESS≥8 points in 34 patients who were primarily amputated,M ESS 5-7points in 19 who were principally preserved and MESS<5 points in 69 who were preserved by means of debridement,external fixators,plast splints and vaeuum sealing drainage technique.Results All pa-tients were survived.with amputation rate of 29.5%. Conclusion MESS is an important reference for evaluation of reservation and amputation of crush limb injuries caused by earthquake.

Objective:To explore the values of ultrasound, pathology combined with inflammatory indicators in predicting high nodal burden (HNB) in patients with early breast cancer and to construct a nomogram to provide reference for individualized diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The ultrasonographic, pathological features and preoperative inflammatory indicators of 378 female patients diagnosed with early breast cancer confirmed by pathology in the South Hospital of the Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2014 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were randomly divided into training set ( n=302) and test set ( n=76) in a ratio of 8∶2, and the baseline data of the two groups were compared. The optimal cutoff values of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) were obtained by ROC curve. In the training set, with axillary high lymph node load (≥3 metastatic lymph nodes) as the dependent variable, independent influencing factors of HNB were identified by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses, and the nomogram was established. The test set data were used to verify the model. The discrimination, calibration and clinical applicability of the model were assessed by the area under the ROC curve (AUC), C-index, the calibration curve, Brier score and the decision curve analysis, respectively. Results:There were no significant differences in all variables between the training set and the test set (all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that AUCs of NLR, PLR and LMR were 0.578, 0.547 and 0.516, respectively, and the optimal cut-off values were 2.184, 150 and 3.042, respectively. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, pathological type, histological grade, Ki-67, lymphovascular invasion, NLR, PLR, ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor, shape, long/short diameter of lymph node, cortical thickness, cortical and medullary boundary, lymph node hilum, lymph node blood flow pattern) were correlated with HNB of early breast cancer (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor >2 cm, effacement of lymph node hilum, non-lymphatic portal blood flow), lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67>14% and NLR>2.184 were independent risk factors for HNB in early breast cancer ( OR=7.258, 8.784, 6.120, 8.031, 3.394 and 3.767, respectively; all P<0.05) and were used to construct the nomogram model. The AUC of the training set was 0.914 (95% CI=0.878-0.949), C-index was 0.914; The AUC of the test set was 0.871 (95% CI=0.769-0.973), C-index was 0.871, indicating good discrimination. Calibration curve and Brier score were 0.090, indicating high calibration degree of the model. The clinical decision curve indicated good clinical benefit. Conclusions:The nomogram based on ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor, lymph node hilum, lymph node blood flow pattern), lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67 and NLR can effectively predict the risk of HNB in patients with early breast cancer, and provide a reference for precision diagnosis and treatment to avoid excessive or insufficient treatment.
