Objective:To compare knowledge graphs (KGs) constructed from standardized clinical pathways and actual examination records within 24 hours of emergency care for acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage (AGH), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and to visually analyze discrepancies between guideline recommendations and real-world practice, thereby exploring a novel methodology for clinical pathway optimization.Methods:KGs were developed using clinical pathway standards and actual examination data collected within the first 24 hours of emergency treatment for AGH, AMI, and ICH. Entity attributes were weighted to visually represent the frequency and extent of examination usage through variable node sizes in the KG. The constructed KGs were used to compare and analyze the differences in type and frequency of examinations performed relative to pathway standards.Results:The proportion of examination items with >50% adherence to clinical pathway standards within 24 hours was 76.92% for AGH, 44.44% for AMI, and 78.57% for ICH. Items from the clinical pathways that were not performed in over 50% of patients accounted for 15.38%, 27.78%, and 21.43% of cases, respectively. Non-pathway examinations increased by 9, 7, and 4 items for each condition, of which 17 items (85%) were performed at least once in more than half of the patients. Visualization via KGs revealed a reduction in redundant examinations by 38.64% between AGH and AMI, 35.00% between AGH and ICH, and 37.50% between AMI and ICH. Overall, a 54.84% reduction in redundant examinations was achieved across all three critical conditions.Conclusions:The visual KG approach effectively integrates both guideline-recommended and experience-driven examinations, serving as a correlational analysis tool to assess deviations between actual clinical practice and standardized pathways. It provides a quantitative foundation for optimizing clinical pathways, with potential for greater efficiency gains as more critical conditions are incorporated into the graph.

ObjectiveTo investigate the levels of serum antibodies against novel coronavirus （SARS-CoV-2） in healthcare workers after one month of natural infection， to explore the influencing factors and their correlations with the levels of antibodies， and to provide reference for strengthening the protection of healthcare workers and preventive intervention in Pudong New Area in Shanghai. MethodsVenous blood samples were collected from 1 102 medical staff in Pudong hospitals one month after infection. The serum levels of new coronavirus specific antibodies IgM， IgG and neutralizing antibodies were detected by chemiluminescent immunoassay. The information of gender， age， position， infection severity， vaccination， basic diseases and use of immunosuppressants were obtained by questionnaire to explore the influencing factors and their correlation with the antibody level. ResultsOne month after natural infection， 99.00% （1 091/1 102） of the subjects were found to be positive for IgG antibody against the new coronavirus， 17.79% （196/1 102） of the subjects were IgM antibody positive， and 99.00% （1 091/1 102） of the samples were positive for the neutralizing antibody. The level of antibody might be influenced by the severity of infection， the time of the last dose of vaccination， and the long-term use of immunosuppressants. The more severe the disease， the stronger the neutralizing antibody response. The antibody level in the people who received the final dose of vaccine within 6 months was higher than that of the people who received the vaccine 6 months ago， and the difference was statistically significant. The antibody levels were low in the subjects who received long-term immunosuppressants. ConclusionThe specific IgM， IgG and neutralizing antibody were found， one month after infection， in the medical workers in Pudong New Area， Shanghai， and the antibody titers were high， which had a good protective effect. The antibody level of the people who were vaccinated within 6 months was higher， it is recommended that people who receive the last vacination more than 6 months should be re-vaccinated with the booster vaccine， to improve the autoimmunity against the novel coronavirus.

Objective:To evaluate alteration of autograft function by pathological types after total parathyroidectomy (tPTX) plus autotransplantation (AT) in patients of hyperthyroidism.Methods:A total of 51 patients with end-stage chronic renal failure who underwent total parathyroidectomy with autologous forearm transplantation from Mar 2017 to Feb 2021 were divided into chief cell type (CC) and oxyphil cell type (OC) according to dominating graft cell type. iPTH, calcium, phosphorus and ALP levels were compared between the two groups from the perioperative period to 6 months and the 3D ultrasonography was performed at 6 months to cocalculate the size of the autograft.Results:Between the two groups, there were no statistically significant differences in iPTH, blood calcium, blood phosphorus, or ALP levels pre-,and 30 minutes, one month post surgery (all P>0.05). On three months, there was no significant difference in ALP levels [CC group: (99±23) U/L, OC group: (89±35) U/L, t=0.776, P=0.442]. At 6 months the PTH level [CC group: (290±77) pg/ml, OC group: (246±59) pg/ml, t=2.034, P=0.047], and blood calcium [CC group: (2.62±0.65) mmol/L, OC group: (2.21±0.20) mmol/L, t=2.531, P=0.015] blood phosphorus [CC group: (1.38±0.28) mmol/L, OC group: (1.68±0.34) mmol/L; t=-3.269, P=0.002], were all in favor of CC group. By 3D ultrasnography at 6 months the size of autograft was larger in CC group than in OC group [V cc=(2.17±0.37) cm 3,V oc=(1.85±0.29) cm 3, t=3.172, P<0.05]. Recurrences at 1 year after surgery were not significantly different between the two groups ( ncc=3, noc=1, t=0.277, P>0.05). Conclusion:The biological activity of CC-type grafts is higher than that of OC suggesting a longer functioning period as a parathyroid autograft.

But the recognition and management of IIR in China is still in its infancy, and there is a lack of specific and operable guidance for the implementation process. Based on our practical experiences, previous literature reports, and current policy regulations, the authors took prospective IIR as an example to summarize the implementation process of IIR into 14 steps, which are as the following: study initiation, ethical review, study registration, study filing, case report form design, database establishment, standard operating procedure making, investigator training, informed consent, data collection, data entry, data verification, data locking and data archiving.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of enhanced external counterpulsation(EECP)on left ventricular function in elderly patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon(CSFP)using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography(2D-STE).Methods:This prospective case-control study included 30 patients aged ≥60 years with no stenotic lesions in the coronary arteries but with slow blood flow phenomenon in more than one major coronary artery who were treated at the Department of Geriatrics, Qilu Hospital, Shandong University, between December 2017 and December 2018, and were divided into a medication group with 16 participants and a medication plus EECP group with 14 participants, using the numerical lottery method.Patients in the group treated with EECP received 6-week 36-h EECP therapy in addition to lifestyle modification and drug treatment.Fourteen patients with normal coronary blood flow served as the control group.Conventional echocardiography and 2D-STE were used to evaluate changes in left ventricular function in the CSF patients before and after drug treatment and EECP.Results:Compared with the control group before treatment, patients in the drug treatment group and the drug treatment plus EECP group showed a decrease in mitral annular early diastolic velocity( P<0.01), an increase in the ratio of peak mitral early diastolic blood flow velocity to the mean peak mitral annular early diastolic velocity( P<0.05), and a decrease in left ventricular longitudinal strain during systole( P<0.01), the longitudinal systolic myocardial strain rate( P<0.01)and the early diastolic longitudinal peak strain rate( P<0.01).There was no statistically significant difference in values from conventional echocardiographic parameters before and after treatment in CSF patients of the medication group(all P>0.05).In the group receiving EECP, there were statistically significant differences in pre-and post-treatment values in ventricular septal early diastolic velocity[(6.22 ± 0.64)cm/s vs.(6.69 ± 0.44)cm/s], lateral wall early diastolic velocity[(8.01±0.68)cm/s vs.(8.41±0.29)cm/s], mitral valve to mitral annulus early diastolic peak velocity ratio[(10.51±1.38) vs.(9.74±0.37)], longitudinal left ventricular systolic strain[(-16.21±0.46)% vs.(-16.80±0.48)%], left ventricular systolic longitudinal strain rate[(-1.29±0.03)s -1vs.(-1.35±0.04)s -1], and early diastolic longitudinal strain rate[(1.35±0.03)s -1vs.(1.40±0.03)s -1](t-values were -3.70、-2.74、2.23、10.25、12.30、-19.15, all P<0.05). Conclusions:2D-STE can evaluate subclinical myocardial dysfunction early and quantitatively in elderly patients with CSF, and objectively reflect changes in left ventricular function before and after clinical intervention with EECP.
