Objective To investigate the late effects induced by ionizing radiation and the rehabilitation treatment of local radiation injury by medical follow-up of the patient exposed to192 Ir at 5.7 accident in Nanjing,and to provide more experience for the treatments in the medical emergency of nuclear or radiological accident.Methods According to the history inquiry and physical examination of the patient in detail and the record of clinical symptoms and signs,the changes of the blood system,immune system,reproductive system,eyes,nervous system were systematically evaluated.The effects of rehabilitation treatment for the patient with lower limb dysfunction were also assessed.Results After the medical treatments of the patient,the hematopoietic immune system was restored,but the bone marrow aspiration still showed low bone marrow hyperplasia in right ilium.Meanwhile,the level of sex hormones was within the normal range,but semen examination showed sperm motility was 0.The radiation damage also occurred in the eye lens,retina and fundus.Howevcr,the psychological evaluation showed that the patient was stable and the right lower limb skin wound healing was well except for dysfunction and pain in some extent,which was relieved after the rehabilitation treatment.Conclusions The physiological function of the exposed victim with mild bone marrow type acute radiation sickness could be completely or partially restored after the clinical treatment in the early stage.

Objective: To explore the treatment technique, occurrence and development patterns of such radiation injuries as in a major radiological accident in which a victim suffered mild bone marrow radiation sickness combined grade degree Ⅲ acute radiation induced skin injury, based on his dose estimation, clinical manifestations and disease treatments. Methods: History inquiry in detail, earlier physical dose estimation and biological dose estimation were conducted in conjunction with analyzing the chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes. The physical dose was estimated by Monte Carlo method.The systematic laboratory and imaging examination was performed to evaluate the condition. The comprehensive analysis was conducted to determine the diagnosis and treatment plan. Results: At 3d after the exposure, "Ren" felt mild pain and discomfortable on the skin of the right index finger. The body of the right hand index finger was covered with blister at 21 d after exposure.The estimation of biological dose was 0.43 Gy (95%CI: 0.31-0.58 Gy), and the physical dose was estimated to be 36-164 Gy for each part of the right hand finger. The hematopoietic system, immune system and endocrine system were normal. The liver function index value was transiently increased. The liver damage resulted from the use of antibiotic-induced combined with the patient′s past medical history and admission examination result, and the relevant antibiotics were discontinued. The liver function returned to normal after liver protection treatment. At 22 d after irradiation, a right finger incision and decompression surgery were performed. The stem cells were extracted and implanted into the right index finger. After 59 days of hospitalization, there was no obvious discomfort in the body, and the right index finger recovered well, as well as the pain significantly relieved, and the knuckle activity was basically normal. Conclusions The patient with excessive radiation and grade Ⅲ acute radiation skin injury was successfully treated, and local application of autologous adipose-derived stem cell transplantation achieved good result .

Objective To explore the good death status of terminally ill cancer patients from the nurses' perspective and identify associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the nurses in charge of the patients within 3 months after their death to evaluate the status quo of patients with end-stage cancer from the perspective of nurses, using anonymous questionnaire. Using convenient sampling method, 101 competent nurses from 209 patients with end-stage tumors who died in a hospital from October 2017 to January 2018 were selected. The nurses were investigated with nurses' general information questionnaire, patient information questionnaire and Good Death Inventory (GDI). Single factor analysis, Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of good death in patients with end-stage cancer. Results The total score of GDI was (243.00±39.21). Among GDI, the three lowest scores were independence (7.43±4.25), physical and psychological comfort (8.17±4.82), and religious and spiritual comfort (8.53±4.72);while the three highest scores were being respected as an individual (18.32±2.76), good relationship with medical staff (18.23±2.59), and natural death (17.97±3.42). There were significant differences in patients' death status among different departments, medical payment methods, professional training experience of competent nurses and treatment methods within 3 months before death (t=17.351, 2.158, -2.679, -2.993;P＜0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that nurse working life was positively correlated with the total score of GDI (r=0.953, P＜0.01). Regression analysis showed that the factors influencing the good death of patients with end-stage cancer were the department of oncology medicine, the way of treatment and the professional training experience of nurses (P＜0.05). Conclusions The overall status of good death of terminally ill cancer patients is poor. To strengthen the palliative care training about the knowledge and skills helps to improve the nursing quality of end-of-life care and achieve the goal of good death.

Objective:To investigate the iodine nutritional status, prevalence and distribution characteristics of thyroid nodules among children and adolescents in Jurong City, Jiangsu Province, and study the risk factors for thyroid nodules in children and adolescents.Methods:In 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select one primary and one secondary school in the urban and rural areas of Jurong City, ≥150 children and adolescents were selected as survey respondents from each school on a class-by-class basis, including third-grade children in primary schools and seventh-grade adolescents in secondary schools. The basic information and mental health status of survey respondents were collected by basic information questionnaires and Children's Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders Screening Form (SCARED). Water samples were collected from schools where survey respondents were enrolled and from townships where schools were located, and the iodine content in the water were tested. At the same time, household salt and urine samples from survey respondents were collected to test the salt iodine and urine iodine. Thyroid volume and thyroid nodules were measured using B-ultrasound method to analyze goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland) and thyroid nodules. The Cochran-Armitage trend test method was applied for trend analysis, and a multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for thyroid nodules.Results:A total of 710 children and adolescents (370 males and 340 females) were surveyed, including 347 children (169 males and 178 females) and 363 adolescents (201 males and 162 females). A total of 14 water samples were collected, with an iodine content range of 8.98 to 10.82 μg/L and a median iodine content of 9.98 μg/L. A total of 710 edible salt samples were tested, with a salt iodine content of (20.94 ± 1.94) mg/kg, an iodine salt coverage rate of 100.00%, and a qualified iodine salt consumption rate of 97.46% (692/710). A total of 710 urine samples were tested, with a median urine iodine of 288.13 μg/L, median urinary iodine for boys and girls was 310.29 and 245.12 μg/L, respectively, and the difference between the two was statistically significant ( Z = - 5.91, P < 0.001). A total of 710 children and adolescents were tested by B-ultrasound, and the detection rate of goiter and thyroid nodules was 2.25% (16/710) and 25.07% (178/710). There was no significant upward trend in the detection rate of thyroid nodules with age (χ 2trend = 0.45, P = 0.651). The detection rates of thyroid nodules in boys and girls were 20.00% (74/370) and 30.59% (104/340), respectively, and the difference between the two was statistically significant (χ 2 = 10.57, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that female students who participated in extracurricular tutoring/interest classes in the past month were two influencing factors for thyroid nodules in children and adolescents ( OR = 1.76, 1.54, 95% CI: 1.25 - 2.49, 1.09 - 2.17, P < 0.05). Conclusions:The iodized salt coverage rate, qualified iodized salt consumption rate, and goiter rate in children and adolescents in Jurong City have all reached the elimination standard for iodine deficiency disorders, and their iodine nutrition is at a super-appropriate level. However, the external environment of Jurong City is still iodine-deficient. The detection rate of thyroid nodules in children and adolescents is at a high level. Female students and those who have participated in extracurricular tutoring/interest classes in the past month are risk factors for thyroid nodules in children and adolescents.

Objective:To develop training course about care of the dying for cancer patients based on the CARES framework and explore its clinical application effect.Methods:Based on the CARES framework, the first draft of training course about care of the dying for cancer patients was constructed. From November 2021 to January 2022, the Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert correspondence with 23 experts nationwide, forming the final version of training course about care of the dying for cancer patients. From January to March 2022, 235 oncology nurses from Beijing Cancer Hospital were selected as research objects by the convenient sampling method, and were given training course about the care of the dying for cancer patients. The Evaluation Questionnaire on Training Course about Care of the Dying for Cancer Patients was used to evaluate the satisfaction of nurses to the course setting and implementation.Results:The final training course about care of the dying for cancer patients included 7 first-level indicators, 16 second-level indicators and 44 third-level indicators. The overall satisfaction rate of training course about care of the dying for cancer patients in oncology nurses was 100.00% (235/235) .Conclusions:The development process of training course about care of the dying for cancer patients based on CARES framework is standardized, and the students have high satisfaction with the course setting and implementation process, which can be used as an educational resource for clinical nurses to improve professional nursing ability in the dying period.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of domestic and foreign hospice care practice guidelines for cancer patients, so as to provide a basis for the future development of scientific and systematic hospice care guidelines for cancer patients or the formulation of evidence-based nursing practice plans for hospice care of cancer patients in China.Methods:Practice guidelines on hospice care for cancer patients were systematically retrieved from domestic and foreign databases, guidelines and professional society websites from the establishment of the database to July 25, 2020. Two investigators screened the guidelines strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and evaluated the methodological quality of the included guidelines by using the currently internationally recognized guideline evaluation tool, the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation version Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ) .Results:A total of 14 guidelines were included for quality analysis, 9 guidelines were Grade A, 1 guidelines was Grade B, and 4 guidelines were Grade C. The average standardized scores of the 6 areas in AGREEⅡ of the 14 guidelines from high to low were scope and purpose (91.87%) , clarity (83.73%) , stakeholder (72.82%) , applicability (66.81%) , rigor (63.84%) and independence (58.04%) . The subject content analysis of 9 Grade A guidelines showed that common topics in the practice guidelines for hospice care of cancer patients included forming interdisciplinary teams, identification of end-of-life patients, assessment of end-of-life needs, end-of-life communication, providing of individualized nursing, end-of-life symptom management, bereavement support, support and training for nurses.Conclusions:Evidence-based guidelines for hospice care of cancer patients are lacking in China. The existing practice guidelines for hospice care of cancer patients in foreign countries are of high quality and cover a comprehensive range of topics, which can provide a reference for our country to formulate hospice care guidelines in line with national conditions or to transform the best evidence into our country's hospice care practice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of breast milk to total milk intake ratio during hospitalization on the duration of antibiotic therapy in preterm infants less than 34 weeks of gestation.Methods:Clinical data of preterm infants ( n=1 792) less than 34 gestational weeks were retrospectively collected in 16 hospitals of Jiangsu Province Neonatal-Perinatal Cooperation Network from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. The days of therapy (DOT) were used to evaluate the duration of antibiotic administration. The median DOT was 15.0 d (7.0-27.0 d). The patients were divided into four groups based on the quartiles of DOT: Q 1 (DOT≤7.0 d), Q 2 (7.0 d27.0 d) groups. According to the breast milk intake ratio (breast milk intake to total milk intake during hospitalization×100%), they were also divided into four groups: very-low-ratio breastfeeding group (breast milk intake ratio≤25%), low-ratio breastfeeding group (25%75%). Univariate analysis ( Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test) was used to analyze the factors influencing DOT. Spearman correlation analysis and trend Chi-square test were used to explore the relationship between breast milk intake ratio and DOT. After using multiple imputations to address missing data, two models were constructed after adjusting for different factors, and multinomial logistic regression model was applied to evaluate the effects of the breast milk intake ratio on DOT. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the stability of the models. Results:(1) Of the 1 792 preterm infants, there were 507 (28.3%) in the Q 1 group, 422 (23.5%) in the Q 2 group, 438 (24.4%) in the Q 3 group and 425 (23.7%) in the Q 4 group. (2) The median values of DOT in the very-low-ratio, low-ratio, medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups were 20.0 d (11.0-31.0 d), 20.0 d (11.0-32.0 d), 13.0 d (6.0-25.8 d) and 10.0 d (4.0-21.0 d), respectively. Compared with the very-low-ratio and low-ratio breastfeeding groups, the medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding groups had shorter DOT (all P<0.05). (3) After adjusting for factors with P<0.1 (prenatal glucocorticoid exposure, antimicrobial use within 24 h before delivery, gestational age at delivery, birth weight, Apgar score≤7 at 1 min, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, infectious pneumonia and early-onset neonatal sepsis) between the DOT quartile groups, it showed that medium-ratio and high-ratio breastfeeding were protective factors in contrast to very-low-ratio breastfeeding in the Q 2, Q 3 and Q 4 groups as compared with the Q 1 group [Q 2 group: OR=0.50 (95% CI: 0.30-0.85) and OR=0.36 (95% CI: 0.26-0.51); Q 3 group: OR=0.31 (95% CI: 0.18-0.55) and OR=0.20 (95% CI: 0.14-0.29); Q 4 group: OR=0.22 (95% CI: 0.12-0.42) and OR=0.17 (95% CI: 0.12-0.26)]. Conclusion:Breast milk intake accounting for over 50% of total milk intake has a positive impact on reducing DOT in premature infants requiring antibiotics, which suggests that breastfeeding should be actively encouraged.

During a radiological or nuclear emergency, iodine thyroid blocking is an urgent protection action to prevent or reduce the absorption of radioactive iodine by thyroid. Although potassium iodide (KI) administration is recommended by WHO guidelines for iodine prophylaxis following nuclear accidents and is also widely implemented in most national guidelines, the scientific evidence for the guidelines lacks as the guidelines are mostly based on expert opinions and recommendations. This paper introduces the development and revision of WHO guidelines for iodine thyroid blocking published in 1989 and 1999, as well as the revision methods and main recommendations of the guidelines published in 2017, which supports the use of iodine thyroid blocking during a radiological or nuclear emergency.
