Objective:To establish and assess the quality control and improvement system for metabolic and bariatric surgery in Beijing.Methods:Based on relevant documents from the National Health Commission and the Beijing Municipal Health Commission,and referencing the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery,a quality control system was developed under the Beijing Quality Control and Improvement Center of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. The system incorporated on-site evaluations,data registration,and specialized training. From May to December 2023,on-site assessments were conducted at 21 hospitals in Beijing performing bariatric surgery,evaluating personnel qualifications,infrastructure,clinical workflows,and postoperative follow-up. A quality control database was created to collect real-time surgical data,and training was provided for data entry and professional skills. Assessment results were classified as excellent,qualified,or needing improvement,with rectification suggestions offered and follow-up visits conducted to track progress.Results:All 21 hospitals achieved a 100% compliance rate for surgical indications, 16 (76.2%) met standardized surgical operation criteria,and 14 (66.7%) had standardized postoperative management. However,only 5 (23.8%) achieved a 12-month postoperative follow-up rate of ≥60%,and 4 (19.1%) had established specialized databases. Key challenges included insufficient specialized staffing (19.1%), lack of multidisciplinary collaboration (47.6%), inadequate equipment (57.1%), and low follow-up rates (57.1%). The database collected data from over 2 000 patients across 111 fields. After rectification, specialized database coverage rose to 61.9% (13 hospitals). Multi-level training programs developed backbone physicians and specialized nurses,significantly addressing the shortage of specialized personnel.Conclusion:The quality control system established in this study,through the integration of on-site evaluation,data registration,and specialized training,effectively enhances the standardization of surgical practices and data management capabilities.

The rapid and non-destructive detection of constituent content of fresh tea leaves shows an important reference value for quality identification of tea.Visible near infrared(Vis-NIR)spectroscopy has been used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical components in plant samples with the advantages such as simple,rapid and non-destructive detection.In this study,residual attention convolutional neural network(RACNN)was used to predict the internal constituent content of fresh tea leaves.Firstly,the reflectance spectral data of the samples in the Vis-NIR band range and the constituent contents of gallic acid(GA),gallocatechin(GC),epigallocatechin(EGC),and epigallocatechin gallate(ECG)in fresh tea leaves were collected.Based on the preprocessing of the spectral data,the contents of the four components were predicted using a partial least squares regression(PLSR)model,and the optimal preprocessing was determined.Subsequently,the characteristic bands were extracted using the random forest(RF)algorithm.Finally,the performances of PLSR,convolutional neural network(CNN)and RACNN models were compared.The results showed that for GA,the RACNN model worked best with a validation set coefficient of determination(R2)of 0.946 and a root mean square error of the prediction set(RMSEP)of 1.173;for GC,the RACNN model works best with a validation set R2 of 0.928 and RMSEP of 6.081;for EGC,the RACNN model works best with a validation set R2 of 0.891 and a RMSEP of 15.197;for ECG,the RACNN model worked best with a validation set R2 of 0.878 and a RMSEP of 7.837.The RACNN model established by Vis-NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics could realize the accurate detection of the contents of components in fresh tea.

OBJECTIVE: To develop a digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system for the intensive care unit (ICU) and evaluate its application effect in ICU shift handovers. METHODS: A research and development team was established, consisting of 1 department director, 1 head nurse, 3 information technology engineers, 3 nurses, and 2 doctors. Team members were assigned responsibilities including overall coordination and planning, platform design and maintenance, pre-application training, collection and organization of clinical feedback, and research investigation respectively. A digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system was developed for ICU based on the Shannon-Weaver linear transmission model. This innovative system integrated automated data collection, intelligent dynamic monitoring, multidimensional condition analysis and visual reporting functions. A cloud platform was used to gather data from multi-parameter vital signs monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators and other devices. Artificial intelligence algorithms were employed to standardize and analyze the data, providing personalized recommendations for healthcare professionals. A self-controlled before-after method was adopted. Before the application of the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system (from December 2023 to March 2024), the traditional verbal bedside handover was used; from June 2024 to March 2025, the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system was applied for shift handovers. Questionnaires before the application of the shift handover system were collected in April 2024, and those after the application were collected in April 2025. The shift handover time, handover quality (scored by the nursing handover evaluation scale), satisfaction with doctor-nurse communication (scored by the ICU doctor-nurse scale) before and after the application of the handover system were compared, and nurses' satisfaction with the shift handover system (scored by the clinical nursing information system effectiveness evaluation scale) was investigated. RESULTS: After the application of the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system, the shift handover time was significantly shorter than that before the application [minutes: 20 (15, 25) vs. 30 (22, 40)], the handover quality was significantly higher than that before the application [score: 84.0 (78.0, 88.5) vs. 71.0 (55.0, 79.0)], and the satisfaction with doctor-nurse communication was also significantly higher than that before the application (score: 84.58±6.79 vs. 74.50±11.30). All differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). In addition, the nurses' system effectiveness evaluation scale score was 102.30±10.56, which indicated that nurses had a very high level of satisfaction with the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system. CONCLUSIONS The application of the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system can shorten the shift handover time, improve the handover quality, and enhance the satisfaction with doctor-nurse communication. Nurses have a high level of satisfaction with this system.

Objective:To investigate the application value of centrifugal microfluidic chips based on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) technology for rapid detection of foodborne pathogens.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 128 test samples collected by the Yan'an Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 2022 to January 2024. All samples underwent bacterial culture and testing using centrifugal microfluidic chips based on LAMP technology. The detection time, spiking concentration, and accuracy of two detection methods were compared. Additionally, the diagnostic efficacy of both methods was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Results:Bacterial cultures were mostly detected within 16-48 hours, with a detection limit concentrated at 10 000 CFU/25 g. In contrast, the LAMP-based centrifugal microfluidic chip technology typically yielded results within 5-16 hours, with a detection limit ranging from 1 000 to 10 000 CFU/25 g. The differences were statistically significant ( t = 14.86, 573.04, both P < 0.001). When compared with subsequent confirmation results, the positive rate for bacterial culture was 75.00% (24/32), with a diagnostic accuracy of 80.47% (103/128), showing a low consistency (Kappa = 0.51, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, the LAMP-based centrifugal microfluidic chip technology had a positive detection rate of 93.75% (30/32) and a diagnostic accuracy of 96.87% (124/128), also exhibiting low consistency (Kappa = 0.92, P < 0.001). In paired comparisons, the difference between the LAMP-based centrifugal microfluidic chips and bacterial culture was statistically significant ( χ2 = 53.14, P < 0.001). ROC curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve for bacterial culture in diagnosing foodborne pathogens was 0.77, while the AUC for LAMP-based centrifugal microfluidic chip technology was 0.95. Conclusions:When detecting foodborne pathogens, the use of LAMP-based centrifugal microfluidic chip technology allows for the rapid identification of pathogens in a short time period, offering advantages such as high efficiency, speed, and accuracy.

Objective:The Social Isolation Scale for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was developed and tested for reliability and validity, which provided an effective tool for measuring the social isolation level of patients with T2DM.Methods:The initial scale was developed through literature review, qualitative interviews, and expert consultation. Convenience sampling method was used to select T2DM patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for questionnaire survey. The item analysis method was used to select the items of the scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate construct validity. The content validity of the scale was evaluated by the scale-level content validity index and the item-level content validity index. The criterion validity was verified by using the Lubben Social Network Scale-6 and the De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale. Reliability was tested through internal consistency and test-retest reliability.Results:Through literature review and qualitative interviews, 30 items of the scale were selected to form the first version scale. After two rounds of inquiries from 16 experts (expert authority coefficient = 0.897), the second version of the scale was formed. A total of 407 questionnaires were distributed in two stages using the second version scale. Among the 407 patients, there were 214 males and 193 females. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 61.338%. The final scale was determined to include 4 dimensions and 16 items, with the dimensions being "social support network", "frequency of social participation", "satisfaction with interpersonal relationships", and "diabetes-related sense of isolation".The average content validity index at the scale level was 0.929, the content validity index at the item level was 0.830 - 1.000, and the criterion validity was - 0.647 and 0.681. The Cronbach′s α coefficient of the total scale was 0.822, and the test-retest reliability was 0.858.Conclusions:The Social Isolation Scale for people with T2DM has good reliability and validity. It is a reliable and valid tool for assessing social isolation in T2DM patients.

Objective:To explore the relationship between post-traumatic growth and stress perception as well as the chain-mediated roles of psychological resilience and navigating social support in patients with primary liver cancer(PLC), in order to provide theoretical ideas for the nursing and intervention of PLC patients.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select PLC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital, Third Affiliated Hospital, and Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from October 2023 to May 2024 as the research subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.Results:A total of 236 PLC patients were ultimately included, including 189 males and 47 females. Age distribution was as follows: 18-40 years years (7 cases), 41-60 years (128 cases), and ≥61 years (101 cases). Posttraumatic growth showed a significant negative correlation with perceived stress ( r=-0.512, P<0.01), while demonstrating positive correlations with psychological resilience and perceived social support ( r=0.605, 0.515, both P<0.01). Psychological resilience and perceived social support had mediating and chain mediating effects between perceived stress and posttraumatic growth, with mediating effects of -0.176 and -0.069, accounting for 29.24% and 11.46% of the total effect, respectively. The chain mediating effect value was 0.073, accounting for 12.13% of the total effect. Conclusions:The pathway of stress perception on post-traumatic growth in patients with PLC is indirect, and stress perception can contribute to the growth of post-traumatic growth in patients through psychological resilience, and navigating social support.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation spectrum of children with T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) using next generation sequencing technology and to evaluate the value of gene mutations in prognosis stratification.Methods:A case series analysis was made.The clinical data of newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 1, 2019 to February 29, 2024 were analyzed retrospectively.T-ALL gene mutations were analyzed.The relationships of gene mutations with clinical features and induction of responses to therapy were studied.The effects of gene mutations on overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were examined by the Kaplan-Meier method and COX regression model.Results:A total of 80 newly diagnosed pediatric T-ALL patients were enrolled in the study, with a male-to-female ratio of 3.4∶1.0 and a median age of 8 (range, 2-17) years.A total of 57 mutations were detected in 74 patients, 46.2% (37/74) of whom showed 3 or more gene mutations.The coexistence of mutated genes was obvious. PTEN mutations were more prevalent in male patients ( P=0.018).Initial leukocyte counts were higher in patients with PTEN mutations ( P=0.038) and lower in patients with JAK3 mutations ( P=0.002).Patients with NOTCH1 mutations had a higher positive rate of fusion genes ( P=0.043).Patients with PTEN mutations had a higher rate of minimal residual disease(MRD) remission after 15/19 d of treatment with induction therapy, respectively ( P=0.013).The rate of MRD remission after 33/46 d of treatment with induction therapy was higher in patients with the FBXW7 mutation ( P=0.004) and lower in patients with JAK3 mutations ( P=0.003).Multifactorial COX regression analysis showed that IL7R mutation and three or more gene mutations were independent risk factors for OS and EFS in T-ALL patients(OS: HR=3.252, 7.357, 95% CI: 1.020-10.372, 1.646-32.882; EFS: HR=3.372, 3.009, 95% CI: 1.234-9.214, 1.174-7.708; all P<0.05). Conclusions:Gene mutations are prevalent in T-ALL children and correlate with clinical manifestations and prognosis.The coexistence of mutated genes is obvious.Pediatric T-ALL patients with IL7R mutations and three or more gene mutations have a poorer prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical experience and efficacy of unrelated umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for the treatment of congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia (CAMT).Methods:A case summary was conducted.The clinical data of 2 children with CAMT who were finally cured by unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT in the Department of Pediatric Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Related studies were retrieved from databases CNKI, Wanfang and PubMed using search terms including " congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia" and " hematopoietic stem cell transplantation" from the inception to July 2024.The clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment processes, and prognosis of CAMT patients treated by HSCT were then summarized.Results:Both cases exhibited scattered skin haemorrhages throughout the body and carried 2 compound heterozygous mutations with pathogenicity in the MPL gene.Both patients were finally diagnosed with CAMT.Case 1 was a girl aged 3 at the time of transplantation, and case 2 was also a girl, who aged 5 at the time of transplantation.Both of them received unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT and hematopoietic reconstruction was achieved.The time of neutrophil and platelet implantation was 21 and 40 days after transplantation in case 1, and 20 and 31 days in case 2, respectively.The chimerism rate of neutrophil implantation in both children was complete chimerism of donor cells.Implantation syndrome was detected in case 1 following transplantation.Case 2 suffered implantation syndrome, hypertensive encephalopathy, and cytomegalovirus infection following transplantation.Both children showed no graft-versus-host disease (GVHD).Both children had hematopoietic and immune reconstruction after transplantation and their primary diseases were cured.Cases 1 and 2 were followed up for more than 14 and 17 months, respectively.Both of them achieved disease-free survival during the follow up.Literature review of 26 cases with CAMT treated by HSCT, including the above-mentioned 2 cases was conducted, with an overall disease-free survival rate of 92.3%(24/26).Of 12 cases with CAMT typing, 10 were type Ⅰ and 2 were type Ⅱ.Of the 26 cases treated by HSCT, 17 had bone marrow HSCT, with an overall survival rate of 88.2%(15/17), and 2 had peripheral blood HSCT.Seven cases had umbilical cord blood HSCT (6 cases receiving unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT and 1 case receiving related umbilical cord blood HSCT), with an overall survival rate of 100%.Unlike bone marrow and peripheral blood HSCT, unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT did not result in 3-4 grade GVHD. Conclusions:Unrelated umbilical cord blood HSCT can achieve good therapeutic effects in CAMT patients when there is no suitable donor.Myeloablative pretreatment is conducive to CAMT patients.

To report the first case of CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion cutaneous tumor in China. A 53-year-old male patient presented with a progressively enlarging, thickened plaque with ulceration and exudation on the left sole for 3 years. Dermatological examination revealed a skin-colored plaque measuring approximately 2 cm × 2 cm in size on the left sole, covered by thick scaly crusts and circumscribed dark-brown crusts. Histopathological examination of the lesion showed well-circumscribed, unencapsulated, multinodular and coalescing tumor masses in the dermis; the masses were primarily composed of amelanotic epithelioid cells and spindle cells, arranged in a multinodular pattern with sparse stroma; some nodules formed nests, while others exhibited a layered or fascicular pattern; mitotic figures were observed among tumor cells. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated strong nuclear positivity for SRY-box transcription factor 10 (SOX10) and tripartite motif-containing protein 11 (TRIM11). Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a CRTC1 gene break. RNA transcriptome sequencing confirmed the presence of CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion. A diagnosis of CRTC1::TRIM11 fusion cutaneous tumor was made. The patient received wide local excision of the tumor. No recurrence was observed during 10 months of postoperative follow-up.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Qingwen Baidu Drink in treating sepsis-induced lung injury.METHODS One hundred C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group,model group,Qingwen Baidu Drink low-dose group,Qingwen Baidu Drink medium-dose group,and Qingwen Baidu Drink high-dose group,with 20 mice in each group.HE staining was used to examine the pathological changes of lung tissues.ELISA was used to detect the expression levels of serum interleukin-1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),chemokine ligand 10(CXCL10)and plasma coagulation factor Ⅲ(F3).qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ)in lung tissues.The number of platelets(PLT)in plasma was analyzed by routine blood analysis instrument.Immunofluorescence a-nalysis was used to detect vascular endothelial cadherin(VE-cadherin),endothelial adhesion junction marker occludin 5(CLDN5)and pericyte marker neuronal collagen antigen 2(NG2)in alveolar capillary endothelial cells.Western blot was used to detect the pro-tein expression levels of cysteine-containing aspartate proteinase 11(Caspase11),GSDMD and GSDMD-N in mouse lung tissues.RESULTS Compared with the blank group,the lung tissue of the mice in the model group showed obvious pathological dam-age.The levels of serum IL-1β,TNF-α,and CXCL10 and the mRNA expression levels of MCP-1,COX-2,and IFN-γ in lung tis-sue were significantly increased(P<0.01),and the number of PLT and the content of F3 in plasma were significantly decreased(P<0.01).The fluorescence expression of VE-cadherin,CLDN5,and NG2 proteins in lung tissue was significantly enhanced(P<0.01),while the expression of Caspase11 and GSDMD-N proteins was increased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the pathological damage of the lung tissue of the mice in all doses of Qingwen Baidu Drink groups was alleviated,the levels of serum IL-1β,TNF-α,and CXCL10 and the mRNA expression levels of MCP-1,COX-2,and IFN-γ in lung tissue were significantly decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the number of PLT and the content of F3 in plasma were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01);the fluorescence expression of VE-cadherin,CLDN5,and NG2 proteins in lung tissues was weakened(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the expression of Caspase11 and GSDMD-N/GSDMD proteins was reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01).CONCLUSION Qingwen Baidu Drink can inhibit the activation of GSDMD-N and Caspase11,reduce the release of inflammatory factors,decrease blood loss and damage to vascular barrier function,and thus improve the lung injury caused by sepsis.
