Objective To investigate the status quo of nursing lack in level three first-class hospitals of Zhongshan city,and analyze the relevant reasons.Methods A sample of 765 nurses in 4 tertiary general hospitals completed the modified Missed Nursing Care Survey.Results Assessment,planning,intervention and evaluation were reported to be missed by 9.86%~39.04%,12.05%~44.38%,3.29%~46.85% and 12.19%~22.05% of the survey respondents respectively.Reasons for missed care were lack of labor resources(85.48%~93.84%),lack of material resources(80.00%~80.96%),low efficiency of the team (78.08%~86.58%),poor work habits (70.95%~83.84%),and improvement of patients’ needs (88.90%~93.01%).Conclusions Lack of care is widespread,and the degree of lack of each link is different.Reasons lead to the lack of care of nursing staff are higher patients’ demands to nursing work,shortage of nursing staff and unplanned surge of patients’ number.

Objective To explore the influence of intracranial pressure monitoring on GCS score,complications and prognosis of severe traumatic brain injury patients with trauma craniectomy.Methods A total of 84 patients with STBI were randomly divided into two groups.The routine group was treated with standard large trauma craniectomy,and monitoring group was treated with trauma craniectomy combined with intracranial pressure monitoring.The change of intra-carnial pressure before and after operation,GCS scores change,prognosis as well as post operative complications were compared between two groups.Results Compared with routine group,the intra-carnial pressure at 3rd and 7th day after operation in monitoring group significantly decreased (P<0.05),and the GCS score at 28th day improved after operation in both groups,and increasing degree of monitoring group was significantly higher than the routine group (P<0.05).The GCS score at 3rd month after operation indicated that the prognosis in monitoring group was significantly better than routine group (P<0.05).The incidence rates of electrolyte disturbance in monitoring group and routine group at 6 month after surgery were 59.5% and 33.3% respectively (P<0.05).Conclusion Standard trauma craniectomy combined with intracranial pressure monitoring treatment is effective in treatment of patients with severe traumatic brain injury.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the clinical and genetic features of Noonan syndrome (NS) caused by mutations in the leucine zipper-like transcription regulator 1 ( LZTR1) gene. Methods:The retrospective study analyzed a patient who was examined at the Center of Prenatal and Hereditary Disease Diagnosis, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University in January 2021 because of fetal nuchal translucency thickening and a previous history of problematic pregnancies. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with Noonan syndrome (NS) through whole exome sequencing. Using keywords such as "Noonan syndrome," "Leucine zipper-like transcription regulator 1", and " LZTR1", clinical and genetic characteristics of NS derived from LZTR1 mutations were summarized by extracting relevant literature from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, Yiigle, PubMed and Web of Science, covering from January 2013 to October 2022. Descriptive analysis was applied to the data. Results:(1) Case report: WES and Sanger sequencing showed the existence of the biallelic variants of LZTR1 gene c.842C>T and c.2248G>A in the fetus (Ⅱ-3) and the proband (Ⅱ-2) that inherited from the father and the mother, respectively. Based on the typical special facial appearance and short stature in the proband indicative of NS, the fetus and the proband were diagnosed with autosomal recessive inheritance (AR) NS. The pregnant woman terminated her pregnancy at 22 weeks due to severe edema of the fetus. At the age of three, the proband exhibited typical craniofacial features and short stature characteristics of NS when presented to our hospital. The proband received regular follow-ups in the pediatrics department of other hospitals, where recombinant human growth hormone was used to improve his height. He attended kindergarten at age four and can communicate and play with other children normally. (2) Literature review: 95 cases of NS associated with LZTR1 mutations have been retrieved and included. When including the fetus and the proband of this case, the total reached 97 cases, involving 79 different mutation sites. Forty-three cases (44.3%) were AR, and 54 (55.7%) were autosomal dominant inheritance (AD). Missense mutation was the most prevalent type of mutation, whereas nonsense mutation and frameshift mutation were more common in biallelic variants. Across all cases, the clinical manifestations encompassed multiple systems, primarily characterized by craniofacial dysmorphia, skeletal deformities, heart defects, and short stature. Developmental delay, learning disabilities, and mental retardation of varying degrees may accompany these symptoms. Eighteen cases described antenatal phenotypes, with 16 of them reporting biallelic AR variants. Ultrasound findings of 18 prenatal cases revealed 11 cases of fetal NT thickening, seven cases of cystic hygroma, four cases of fetal pericardium or pleural effusion, two cases of severe fetal edema, and 11 cases of cardiovascular defects. Conclusions:NS induced by LZTR1 mutations is an autosomal dominant or recessive inherited genetic syndrome with a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes. The severity of the disease varies among children with the same genotype. NS should be considered when prenatal ultrasound indicates nonspecific manifestations, such as fetal NT thickening, cervical lymphatic hydrops, polyhydramnios, fetal edema, and congenital heart defects. Prenatal identification is crucial for evaluating the prognosis of children and assisting families in making clinical decisions.
