Objective:To explore whether the inequality of economic development in different provinces in China leads to differences in pediatric nurses ′ health education literacy and to analyze related factors affecting pediatric nurses ′ health education literacy. Methods:Self-designed and tested online questionnaire of competencies in health education (scoring scale 10-50) were distributed to pediatric nurses in China in October 2018. We examined the influencing factors of competencies in health education and its relationship with the province-level data on gross domestic product (GDP) per capita.Results:A total of 15 443 pediatric nurses from 31 provinces were eligible for the analysis. At the regional of GDP per capital over than 20 000 US dollars, 15 000 to 20 000 US dollars, 10 000 to 14 900 US dollars and less than 10 000 US dollars, the health education literacy scores were 40.76±4.52, 40.66±4.08, 40.50± 4.02 and 39.69±4.32 respectively. Significant difference was found between the competencies in health education of pediatric nurses and provinces with different GDP per capita ( F value was 9.21, P<0.001). Regression and hierarchical analysis models based on GDP per capita showed that: nurses with senior professional titles, bachelor degrees or above, aged over 40, and those working in emergency rooms have higher competencies in health education ( OR value was 0.296-4.766, P<0.05) . Lower competencies in health education were demonstrated on nurses who have been working less than 5 years ( OR value was 0.319, P<0.05). Conclusions:Economic development is one of the main factors that affect the competencies in health education of pediatric nurses in China. Pediatric nurses who were young, had limited working experience, with low office titles, with low education background, and who working at non-emergency rooms require more training.
3.Attach importance to the influence of obesity on disease treatment of hernia and abdominal wall surgery
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2022;21(9):1180-1184
With the great improvement of living and material conditions in China, obesity concomitant with hernia and abdominal wall diseases become very common. As the particularities of obesity and associated metabolic diseases, a series of pathophysiological changes caused by obesity will significantly affect the treatment of hernia and abdominal wall diseases. In the authors' opinions, accurately evaluation the severity of obesity and associated metabolic diseases and effec-tively controlling are important prerequisites for determining the timing of surgery and surgical planning. Weight loss before surgery is the basic principle of the treatment and immediate or staged individualized surgical treatment is the guarantee of the successful treatment for obesity patients with hernia and abdominal wall disease.

Reviewing the development of hernia and abdominal wall surgery, at the begin-ning, they were only used in simple repair, effects of which were unsatisfactory. Hernia treatment has made a milestone progress with the development of repair materials. Repair materials (Mesh patches) have been applied to various types of abdominal hernia. As surgeons gradually realized the importance of abdominal wall layer in the treatment of abdominal wall defects, they began to pay attention to abdominal wall reconstruction, and applied repair materials to reinforce the abdominal wall, so that the treatment of abdominal wall dysfunction (huge incisional hernia and complex abdominal hernia) has made great progress. Subsequently, surgeons and scientists put forward a new concept "functional repair of the abdominal wall" for the repair of abdominal hernia. An ideal functional repair can restore the function of the abdominal wall, and ultimately achieve the unity of structure and function. The authors discuss the development of the treatment of abdominal hernia from repair, reconstruction to functional restoration.

Objective To explore the efficacy of early aggressive debridement with implant retention, primary wound clo-sure, closed suction drain without irrigation and antibiotic therapy for the treatment of delayed deep infection after spinal fixation. Methods 4057 patients were underwent dorsal spinal fixation from January 2010 to June 2014. Among them, 42 cases of de-layed deep infection after operation were included in the study. There were 25 males and 17 females, with an average age of 68.6± 8.1 years (ranged from 53 to 83 years). The diagnosis of delayed deep infection was based on the time of onset, clinical symptoms and signs, imaging and laboratory findings. Surgical debridement was performed immediately after diagnosis of infection. In addi-tion, devitalized and necrotic tissue and biofilms which adhered to the surface of the implant were removed meticulously and thor-oughly. Primary wound closure was performed in each patient, and closed suction drains were maintained for about 7-10 d without irrigation. Routine sensitive antimicrobial drugs was applied for 3 months after operation. Results 42 cases were all followed up for 24 to 72 months with an average of 46 months. Among the 42 infected patients, 3 patients were underwent posterior cervical spine surgery and 39 patients were underwent posterior lumbar spine surgery. There were 13 cases of staphylococcus aureus infec-tion, 7 cases of escherichia coli infection, 3 cases of ESBL escherichia coli infection, 3 cases of enterobacter cloacae infection, 2 cases of MRSA, 2 cases of acinetobacter baumannii infection, 2 cases of klebsiella pneumoniae infection, 1 case in enterococcus faecium and pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus haemolyticus, respectively. There were still 7 patients with negative bacterial culture. 41 cases retained their implant, whereas 1 staphylococcus aureus infection patient had the implants removed be-cause of loosening during debridement. Nevertheless, primary wound healing was found in all patients, and stitches were removed 2 to 3 weeks after debridement. Infections were effectively controlled with no recurrence of infection during the follow-up. The av-erage erythrocyte sedimentation rate was (65.76±20.08) mm/h preoperative, (41.43±14.65) mm/h 1 month postoperative, (10.81±2.72) mm/h 6 months postoperative, and (8.10±5.46) mm/h 12 months postoperative, respectively, the differences were statistically significant. The average C reactive protein was (40.55±16.91) mg/L preoperative, (6.50±2.46) mg/L 1 month postoperative, (4.31± 1.26) mg/L 6 months postoperative, and (3.83±1.50) mg/L 12 months postoperative, respectively, the differences were statistically significant. The average procalcitonin was (0.47±0.28) ng/ml preoperative, (0.08±0.06) ng/ml 1 month postoperative, (0.06±0.03) ng/ml 6 months postoperative, and (0.05±0.00) ng/ml 12 months postoperative, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion A timely diagnosis, aggressive and meticulous debridement, high vacuum closed-suction drain, routine and adequate use of antibacterial agents are keys to successfully resolving infection and maintaining implant retention in the treat-ment of delayed deep infection after spinal fixation.

Objective:To compare the application value of different polypropylene mesh in inguinal hernia repair of adults.Methods:The prospective cohort study was conducted. The clinical data of 120 adult patients with inguinal hernia who were admitted to two medical centers (60 in Huadong Hospital affiliated to Fudan University and 60 in Shanghai Ninth People′s Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from March 2012 to Match 2014 were collected. Patients were randomly divided into study group and control group using the random number table. Patients in the study group underwent repair of inguinal hernia using the SMP95958X mesh, and patients in the control group underwent repair of inguinal hernia using the modified Kugel mesh. All patients underwent preperitoneal repair by senior hernia surgery specialists. Observation indicators: (1) postoperative pain; (2) complications and follow-up. Patients were followed up at postoperative 3 months and 6 months using outpatient examination to detect the short-term complications by physical or color doppler ultrasonography examination, and at postoperative 5 years using telephone interview or outpatient examination to detect long-term complications including infection, foreign body sensation and recurrence of hernia. The follow-up was up to March 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M (range), comparison between groups was analyzed using the nonparametric rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed using the chi-square, continuous correction chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ranked data were analyzed using the nonparametric rank sum test. Results:A total of 118 patients with inguinal hernia were selected for eligibility, including 116 males and 2 females, aged (64±12)years, with a range from 29 to 84 years. Of the 118 patients, 59 were in the study group and 59 were in the control group, respectively. (1) Postoperative pain: of the 59 patients in the control group, 34 took painkiller and 1 case lost the data of taking painkiller at postoperative 2 days. Of the 59 patients in the study group, 29 cases took painkiller. There was no significant difference in taking painkiller between the two groups ( χ2=1.055, P>0.05). The pain score at postoperative 2 days and 3 months were 3.26(range, 0.70-6.90) and 0.87(range, 0.00-4.10) of the control group, respectively, and 3.03(range, 0.00-8.80) and 0.83(range, 0.00-3.10) of the study group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( Z=0.782, 0.729, P>0.05). (2) Complications and follow-up: the incidence of postoperative complications at perioperative period (within postoperative 2 days) was 1.7%(1/59) and 1.7%(1/59) in the control group and study group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Both of 59 patients in the control group and study group were followed up for 6 months after operation, respectively. The incidence of postoperative complications at 3 months and 6 months after operation was 1.7%(1/59) and 1.7%(1/59) in the control group, respectively, and 5.1%(3/59) and 5.1%(3/59) in the study group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). Fifty-five patients of the control group and 52 patients of the study group were followed up for 5 years after operation, respectively. There was 1 case of infection in the control group, with the incidence of postoperative long-term ( within 5 years after operation) complication of 1.8%(1/55), and there were 2 cases of infection and 1 case of foreign body sensation in the study group with the incidence of postoperative long-term (within 5 years after operation) complication of 5.8%(3/52), showing no significant difference between the two group ( P>0.05). There was no recurrence of hernia in either group. Conclusion:Both of the SMP95958X mesh and the modified Kugel mesh can be used in preperitoneal repair of inguinal hernia, showing no significant difference in the efficacy between them.

BACKGROUND:
Previous research demonstrated that a homozygous mutation of g.136372044G>A (S12N) in caspase recruitment domain family member 9 ( CARD9 ) is critical for producing Aspergillus fumigatus -induced ( Af -induced) T helper 2 (T H 2)-mediated responses in allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). However, it remains unclear whether the CARD9S12N mutation, especially the heterozygous occurrence, predisposes the host to ABPA.
METHODS:
A total of 61 ABPA patients and 264 controls (including 156 healthy controls and 108 asthma patients) were recruited for sequencing the CARD9 locus to clarify whether patients with this heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphisms are predisposed to the development of ABPA. A series of in vivo and in vitro experiments, such as quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, flow cytometry, and RNA isolation and quantification, were used to illuminate the involved mechanism of the disease.
RESULTS:
The presence of the p.S12N mutation was associated with a significant risk of ABPA in ABPA patients when compared with healthy controls and asthma patients, regardless of Aspergillus sensitivity. Relative to healthy controls without relevant allergies, the mutation of p.S12N was associated with a significant risk of ABPA (OR: 2.69 and 4.17 for GA and AA genotypes, P = 0.003 and 0.029, respectively). Compared with patients with asthma, ABPA patients had a significantly higher heterozygous mutation (GA genotype), indicating that p.S12N might be a significant ABPA-susceptibility locus ( aspergillus sensitized asthma: OR: 3.02, P = 0.009; aspergillus unsensitized asthma: OR: 2.94, P = 0.005). The mutant allele was preferentially expressed in ABPA patients with heterozygous CARD9S12N , which contributes to its functional alterations to facilitate Af -induced T H 2-mediated ABPA development. In terms of mechanism, Card9 wild-type ( Card9WT ) expression levels decreased significantly due to Af -induced decay of its messenger RNA compared to the heterozygous Card9S12N . In addition, ABPA patients with heterozygous CARD9S12N had increased Af -induced interleukin-5 production.
CONCLUSION
Our study provides the genetic evidence showing that the heterozygous mutation of CARD9S12N , followed by allele expression imbalance of CARD9S12N , facilitates the development of ABPA.
