Nutritional support therapy is one of the extremely important treatment methods for patients in the intensive care unit. Timely and effective nutritional support regimens can improve patients' immune function, reduce complications, and optimize clinical outcomes. Energy expenditure is influenced by multiple factors, including patients' baseline characteristics (such as physical condition, gender, age) and dynamic changes in indicators (such as body temperature, nutritional support regimens, and therapeutic interventions). The currently recognized "gold standard" for accurately assessing energy metabolism in clinical practice is the indirect calorimetry system, also known as the metabolic cart. This device monitors carbon dioxide production and oxygen consumption in real time and uses specific algorithms to estimate the metabolic proportions of the three major nutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) in energy expenditure. An appropriate nutrient ratio helps maintain the balance between supply and demand in the body's nutritional metabolism. In the management of critically ill patients, the application of the metabolic cart enables personalized nutritional therapy, avoiding over- or under-supply of energy and optimizing the use of medical resources. Furthermore, with real-time, quantitative data support from the energy metabolism monitoring system, clinicians can develop more precise nutritional intervention strategies, thereby improving patient prognosis. This article provides a systematic review of the technical features of the metabolic cart and its application value in various critical care scenarios, aiming to offer a reference for indirect calorimetry in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the correlation between stroke etiology and clinical and imaging features in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)due to large vessel occlusion treated by intravascular thrombectomy.Methods A total of 213 patients with AIS and endovascular embolectomy in our hospital from Oct.2016 to Jun.2018 were enrolled retrospectively.According to the etiological classification criteria of Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment(TOAST),there were 116 cases of cardioembolism and 97 cases of non-cardioembolism.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the clinical and imaging characteristics for identifying cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism.Results Compared with non-cardioembolism AIS,cardioembolism AIS was associated with higher NIHSS scores(adjusted odds ratio[OR]=1.09,95%confidence interval[95%CI]1.01-1.18,P=0.02),atrial fibrillation(adjusted OR=76.46,95%CI 26.75-218.51,P＜0.01),absence of hypertension(adjusted OR=0.32,95%CI 0.12-0.84,P=0.02),antiplatelet drug use(adjusted OR=5.03,95%CI 1.22-20.63,P=0.03),shorter onset-to-puncture time(adjusted OR=0.998,95%CI 0.996-1.000,P=0.04),and presence of hyperdense artery sign(HAS)(adjusted OR=4.45,95%CI 1.47-13.49,P=0.01).Conclusion There are some differences in clinical and imaging characteristics between patients with cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism AIS.The occurrence of HAS suggests a higher probability of cardioembolism in AIS patients.

Objective:To develop a preoperative CT-based radiomics model integrating multidimensional features for the accurate prediction of TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma（TFE3-rRCC）.Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled 865 pathologically confirmed renal cell carcinoma（RCC）patients in The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from June 2013 to June 2023，including 60 cases of TFE3-rRCC and 805 cases of non-TFE3 RCC（comprising clear cell RCC，papillary RCC，and chromophobe RCC）. Among them，627 were male and 238 were female，with a mean age of（54.1 ± 12.7）years（range：14?82 years）. The median maximum tumor diameter was 4.0（2.6，6.0）cm. Based on the chronological order of CT examinations，the patients were divided into training（ n=478），validation（ n=206），and test（ n=181）sets in an approximate 6∶2∶2 ratio. Using precontrast and corticomedullary phase CT images，we extracted peritumoral imaging features，habitat features，3D radiomic features，and 2.5D deep learning radiomic features. A deep learning radiomics score（DLR-SCORE）prediction model was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator（LASSO）regression. The diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curve analysis，with the area under the curve（AUC）as the primary metric. Additionally，sensitivity，specificity，and accuracy were calculated based on the confusion matrix. Results:A total of 12 442 features were extracted from non-contrast and corticomedullary phase CT images，from which eight key features were selected to construct the DLR-SCORE model. The model demonstrated diagnostic accuracies for TFE3-rRCC of 98.5%（471/478）in the training set，81.6%（168/206）in the validation set，and 86.2%（156/181）in the test set. The AUC of ROC curve was 0.98（95% CI 0.96?1.00）in the training set，0.83（95% CI 0.71?0.94）in the validation set，and 0.88（95% CI 0.76?1.00）in the test set. In the test set，the DLR-SCORE model achieved a sensitivity of 88.9%（16/18）and a specificity of 85.9%（140/163）for detecting TFE3-rRCC. Conclusions:The DLR-SCORE model integrating multidimensional CT radiomics features demonstrated favorable predictive performance for TFE3-rRCC，offering a promising noninvasive tool to assist preoperative diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the intervention effects of a progressive upper limb exercise rehabilitation program based on the multi-process action control theory on upper limb function,rehabilitation compliance,and quality of life in patients with permanent pacemaker implantation(PPI).Methods A total of 130 patients scheduled for PPI from March to August 2024 were selected using a convenience sampling method.Among them,65 patients admitted from June to August were assigned to the experimental group,and 65 patients admitted from March to May formed the control group.The experimental group received the progressive upper limb exercise program in addition to routine care,while the control group received routine care only.The intervention lasted for 3 months.The differences were compared between the 2 groups in terms of primary outcome measures,including the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI)and grip strength.The secondary outcome measures were the Quality of Life Instrument for Chinese Patients with Pacemaker(QLICPP),hospital stay and incidence of complications.Results A total of 122 patients(62 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group)completed this study.Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed significant interaction effects between time and group for the total SPADI score and its pain and disability dimensions,as well as for the physical function,psychological function,and total score of QLICPP(P＜0.001).Simple effects analysis indicated that the experimental group had better grip strength than the control group at l month postoperatively,and lower SPADI scores and total score than the control group at 1 and 3 months postoperatively.At 1 month postoperatively,the total QLICPP score and each dimension of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in the incidence of complications and length of hospital stay(P＞0.05).Conclusion The progressive upper limb exercise rehabilitation program developed in this study effectively addressed the issue of low rehabilitation compliance in PPI patients,improved their upper limb function and quality of life,and it was safe.It provides a feasible and effective new pathway for the rehabilitation of PPI patients.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility and clinical effectiveness of placing a nasointestinal ileus tube (NTI) during extensive adhesive bowel obstruction (ABO) surgery.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical and follow-up data of 60 patients with extensive ABO admitted to the Department of General Surgery of Daxing District Hospital of Capital Medical University from April 2019 to April 2021, of which 30 patients underwent intraoperative NIT intraintestinal alignment (observation group) and 30 patients who did not undergo NIT intraintestinal alignment (control group) during the same period. There were 12 males and 18 females in the observation group. There were 16 males and 14 females in the control group. The operation time, gastrointestinal function recovery time, discharge time, total effective rate and postoperative complication rate were compared between the two groups, and the quantitative data of the recurrence rate of intestinal obstruction at 24 months after surgery were expressed as mean ± standard deviation ( ± s), and the t-test was used for comparison between groups. Numerological data were presented as cases (percentage) [ n (%)], and chi-square tests were used for comparison between groups. Results:All patients were successfully completed the surgery and discharged from the hospital. There was no statistically significant difference in total effective rate between the control group and the observation group( χ2=3.16, P=0.237). The surgical time in the observation group was slightly longer than that in the control group [(110.6±4.6) min vs (94.3±2.5) min, t=17.27, P=0.001]. The recovery time of gastrointestinal function and hospitalization time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group[(8.13±1.00) d vs (8.70±0.70) d, t=2.53, P=0.014; (12.83±1.57) d vs (13.67±1.03) d, t=0.03, P=0.018]. The incidence of postoperative complications was lower than that in the control group (10% vs 30%, P=0.028), and the difference was statistically significant. Conclusion:Intraoperative application of NIT is safe and effective, and can significantly reduce the recurrence rate of postoperative intestinal obstruction.

Objective To investigate the best evidence application of exercise prescription in patients with chronic heart failure in clinical practice and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods The best evidence of exercise prescription for patients with chronic heart failure was summarized,and the evidence-based practice plan was developed,and it was implemented in the cardiology department of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province from August to October,2022.Nurses'exercise prescription knowledge-attitude-practice level,implementation rate of review indicators,the length of hospital stay,exercise endurance,daily living ability and grip strength of both groups before and after the intervention were compared.Results After the application of the best evidence,the score of knowledge dimension was(9.34±0.98)points;the score of attitude dimension was(63.29±1.37)points;the score of practice dimension was(25.49±1.51)points,which were statistically significant compared with the scores before the application of evidence(P<0.05).After the application of the best evidence,the implementation rate of 16 review indicators was higher than that before the application of evidence(P<0.001).The length of hospital stay in the evidence application group was shorter than that in the baseline examination group(Z=-2.610,P<0.001).After intervention,the exercise endurance,daily living ability and grip strength of patients in the evidence application group were improved compared with the baseline review group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion After the application of the best evidence of exercise prescription in patients with chronic heart failure,it can improve the level of knowledge,attitude and practice of nurses on exercise prescription,standardize the compliance of nurses'exercise prescription,reduce the number of days in the hospital,and improve patients'exercise endurance,daily living ability and grip strength.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanisms of the flavonoids from new "Zhe Eight Flavors" Quzhou Fructus Aurantii(PTFC) against hepatocellular carcinoma based on the prediction of network pharmacology and experimental verification. METHODS From TCMSP, TCMID, ETCM, BATMAN-TCM and SwissTargetPrediction databases, the potential target proteins of PTFC, including naringin, narirutin and neohesperidin were collected. Based on the GeneCards, CTD, Disgenet, and OMIM databases, a set of target proteins for hepatocellular carcinoma was constructed. Taking the intersection of potential target proteins of PTFC and target proteins of hepatocellular carcinoma, key target proteins were obtained and a protein-protein interaction network was established. Besides, GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis on the core target proteins was performed and a Compounds-Targets-Pathways-Disease network was constructed. Through proliferation, cloning, wound healing, and migration experiments, the effects of PTFC on the viability of HepG2 liver cancer cells were analyzed. Using fluorescence probe staining the impacts of PTFC on the mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis of HepG2 were observed. Finally, the validation of the regulatory effect of PTFC on the key predicted target PRKCA were carried out through RT-qPCR. RESULTS Based on network pharmacology, a total of 217 potential target proteins for PTFC were screened, with 59 intersecting target proteins related to diseases, including ALB, ESR1, PRKCA, and others. GO functional and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the PTFC target proteins were involved in 193 biological processes and 13 cancer-related signaling pathways. Experimental results demonstrated that PTFC could impact the proliferation, cloning, wound healing, and migration abilities of liver cancer cells, leading to a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential and promoting cell apoptosis. The results of RT-qPCR confirmed a significant downregulation of PRKCA expression by PTFC, validating the predictions made by network pharmacology analysis. CONCLUSION This study has revealed the potential molecular mechanism of PTFC treating hepatocellular carcinoma via the PRKCA target, laying the foundation for clinical application of PTFC.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in healthcare facilities in major regions of China in 2023.Methods Clinical isolates collected from 73 hospitals across China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2023 Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) breakpoints.Results A total of 445199 clinical isolates were collected in 2023,of which 29.0％ were gram-positive and 71.0％ were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species (excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi) (MRSA,MRSE and MRCNS) was 29.6％,81.9％ and 78.5％,respectively.Methicillin-resistant strains showed significantly higher resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents than methicillin-susceptible strains (MSSA,MSSE and MSCNS).Overall,92.9％ of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 91.4％ of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis had significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 93.1％ in the isolates from children and and 95.9％ in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 15.0％ for most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,22.5％ and 23.6％ of which were resistant to imipenem and meropenem,respectively .Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.6％ to 10.0％.The resistance rate to imipenem and meropenem was 21.9％ and 17.4％ for Pseudomonas aeruginosa,respectively,and 67.5％ and 68.1％ for Acinetobacter baumannii,respectively.Conclusions Increasing resistance to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still observed in clinical bacterial isolates.However,the prevalence of important crabapenem-resistant organisms such as crabapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a slightly decreasing trend.This finding suggests that strengthening bacterial resistance surveillance and multidisciplinary linkage are important for preventing the occurrence and development of bacterial resistance.
