Objective To develop the instrument for inpatients involvement in patient medication safety,and to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Methods The draft scale was formulated by combining results of literature review,semi-structured interviews and Delphi expert consultation.Totally 461 inpatients in a tertiary hospital in Wuhan were selected for investigation to examine its reliability and validity.Results The final scale consisted of 3 dimensions and 23 items.The Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.916 for the total scale and ranged from 0.777 to 0.858 for 3 dimensions;Spearman-Brown coefficients of 3 dimensions varied from 0.740 to 0.843;the test-retest correlation was 0.742 for the total scale.The scale content validity index was 0.923,and the item content validity index ranged from 0.833 to 1.000.Factor analysis was used to extract 5 factors,and 3 factors were allowed according to the scree test.Therefore,the cumulative variance contribution rate was 51.191% for 3 factors.Conclusion The Inpatients Involvement in Patient Medication Safety Scale has good reliability and validity.It can be used to evaluate inpatients' engagement behavior in medication safcty,and provide reference for quality management of nursing safety.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for intermittent pneumatic compression devices in preventing venous thromboembolism for trauma patients.Methods:According to "6S" evidence model, computer evidence retrieval was carried out. Guidelines, clinical decisions, evidence summaries, expert consensuses, and systematic reviews regarding intermittent pneumatic compression in preventing of venous thromboembolism for trauma patients were considered. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to October 31, 2021. Two researchers independently appraised articles, and extracted data for eligible studies.Results:A total of 21 articles were enrolled, including 13 guidelines, 1 clinical decision, 1 evidence summary, 2 expert consensuses, 4 systematic reviews. Totally 27 items of best evidence were summarized from four aspects: pretherapeutic evaluation, contraindications and applicable conditions, therapeutic strategies, training and education.Conclusions:This study summarized the best evidence of using intermittent pneumatic compression devices to prevent venous thromboembolism for trauma patients, which can provide evidence-based practice bases for nurses to implement scientific and effective standardized management of mechanical thromboprophylaxis. It is necessary to select evidence according to clinical practice and patients ′ wishes, so as to improve the effectiveness of using IPC in preventing thrombosis.

Objective To observe the impairment effect of retinol binding protein 4(RBP4) on neurocognitive function in diabetic nephropathy(DN) patients with silent cerebral infarction(SCI) and to explore its mechanism.Methods Sixty patients with newly diagnosed DN and 30 healthy volunteers were selected as the study subjects and the DN cases were divided into the complicating SCI group(SCI,n=30) and non-complicating SCI group(NSCI,n=30) according to the imaging results.The degrees of neurological function deficit and Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) were evaluated.Serum RBP4 level was determined by ELISA and expressions of Lp-PLA2 and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4(CXCR4) were determined by Western blot.Results Compared with the NSCI group,the neurocognitive function in the SCI group was subsided,the expression levels of RBP4,Lp-PLA2 and CXCR4 were increased(P<0.05).The RBP4 level was positively correlated with the neurocognitive function impairment in SCI patients,moreover,there existed a regression correlation between them.Conclusion Serum RBP4 may serve as the predictive factor of DN complicating SCI and is positively correlated with neurocognitive dysfunction.Lp-PLA2/CXCR4 pathway activation may be one of its pathogenesis.

Objective:To analyze the mutation sites and characteristics of phospholipase CE1( PLCE1) gene in children with primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS) in Zhuang, Guangxi, China, so as to explore the expression status of PLCE1 protein in peripheral blood of PNS patients. Methods:(1)Blood samples of 154 Zhuang children with PNS and 98 healthy children of Zhuang nationality from July 2015 to September 2017 in Affiliated Hospital of Youjiang Medical College for Nationalities were collected to sequence PLCE1 gene with FastTarget target gene capture method in the combination with next generation sequencing.Based on the comparison between mutation results and information from the database, the pathogenicity, phenotype and distribution characteristics of these mutation sites were discovered and appraised.(2)The concentration of PLCE1 protein in serum samples were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay, then the data of PNS group and healthy control group were compared and analyzed statistically with SPSS 25.0. Results:(1)A total of 18 low-frequency mutations of PLCE1 were observed, 5 of them(c.670C>T, c.578T>C, c.923G>T, c.4916C>T, and c. 5927_5929del) were found only in the PNS group, and 3 of them occurred in both PNS group and healthy control group: c.176C>T, c.389T>C, and c. 4304C>T.Five newly discovered mutations (c.923G>T, c.958T>A, c.1151C>T, c.2341A>G, and c. 3592G>C)were discovered and only c. 923 G>T is pathogenic mutation of PLCE1.(2)The concentration of PLCE1 protein in healthy control group was 414.65 (231.20, 729.81) ng/L and the level of PLCE1 in PNS group was 237.84 (116.14, 535.85) ng/L, ( Z=-3.212, P<0.001), and the value of PNS group was lower than that in the healthy control group. Conclusions:(1)As a new pathogenic mutation of PLCE1, c.923G>T was found.(2)The phenotype of PLCE1 gene mutation in Zhuang children with PNS was diverse, and they may differ by race and region.(3) PLCE1 protein of serum may act as a protective protein to guarantee various life activities of cells by participating in multiple signal transduction pathways.
