Objective:To observe any effect of percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS) combined with electro-acupuncture on detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury.Methods:Forty spinal cord injury survivors with neurogenic detrusor overactivity were randomly assigned to a control group or an observation group, each of 20. Both groups received routine bladder training and electro-acupuncture modulating 3 sacral spinal nerves. The observation group also received 20 minutes of bilateral PTNS five times a week for 8 weeks. The frequency was 10Hz with a pulse width of 200μs. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ urination frequency, incontinence and average daily urine volume were assessed using a urodynamics analyzer, bladder diaries and an incontinence quality of life questionnaire (I-QOL).Results:After treatment, the average involuntary detrusor contraction volume (IDCV), maximum detrusor pressure at filling time (P det·max), bladder compliance (BC), residual volume and the TL value of the electromyogram of the urethral sphincter (LgTLR) had all improved significantly in both groups. The 1st IDCV, BC and LgTLR of the observation group were then significantly better than in the control group, on average, with the average P det·max and residual volume significantly lower than in the control group. The average daily single urine output and I-QOL score of both groups had increased significantly, while the average daily urination frequency and frequency of urinary incontinence had decreased significantly. Both were again significantly better in the observation group. Conclusion:Combining percutaneous electrical stimulation of the tibial nerves with electro-acupuncture can effectively inhibit detrusor overactivity after a spinal cord injury, reducing urinary incontinence.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between lung ultrasound score at the end of spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h and their predictive value of extubation outcome in patients with intro-abdominal infection (IAI) under mechanical ventilation.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted. Patients with IAI under mechanical ventilation for more than 48 h were collected from three hospitals from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018. Routine demographic variables and clinical characteristics were recorded. The patients were divided into the successful extubation group and failed extubation group according to whether they could maintain spontaneous breathing for 48 h after extubation. LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h were compared between the two groups. LUS and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h were analyzed by bivariate correlation analysis, and their correlations with shallow fast breathing index (RSBI) and precursor protein of BNP (Pro-BNP) were analyzed. The predictive value of LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and cumulative fluid balance for extubation failure were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:Totally 207 patients were enrolled. There were significant differences in LUS before extubation [12 (10, 14) vs. 16 (14, 17) points], cumulative fluid balance [-318 (-1 116, 200) mL vs. 1 140 (685, 1 614) mL], RSBI [60 (55, 66) (times/min)/L vs. 70 (65, 78) (times/min)/L], pro-BNP [250 (122, 1 292) pg/mL vs. 1156 (285, 4 346) pg/mL], IAP >15 mmHg [32.8% vs. 46.6%], and ICU stay [8 (6, 12) days vs. 11 (8, 14) days] ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the COPD history, RSBI, LUS at the end of SBT, and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h before extubation were independent risk factors for extubation failure. Correlation analysis showed that LUS was moderately correlated with cumulative fluid balance at 48 h ( r=0.41, P<0.001), weakly correlated with RSBI ( r=0.381, P<0.001), and weakly correlated with pro-BNP ( r=0.220, P<0.001). Cumulative fluid balance at 48 h was weakly correlated with RSBI ( r=0.31, P<0.001), but not with pro-BNP. LUS at the end of SBT and cumulative liquid balance at 48 h had predictive value for extubation failure [AUC=0.87 (95% CI: 0.82-0.91), AUC=0.89 (95% CI: 0.85-0.94), P<0.001]. Conclusions:There is a moderate correlation between LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and 48 h cumulative fluid balance in patients with IAI and mechanical ventilation. LUS at the end of SBT (before extubation) and cumulative fluid balance at 48 h have some predictive value for extubation failure.

A 54-year-old male patient with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by inhalation injury was admitted to the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City on June 26 th, 2022. After admission, the patient received invasive mechanical ventilation (driving pressure-guided ventilator parameter setting) combined with prone position treatment immediately, but his condition continued to deteriorate. Five hours after admission, the patient received veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) supporting treatment, treatment based on ultra-protective lung ventilation strategy combined with prone position ventilation for more than 12 hours per day. At the same time, pulse contour cardiac output monitoring technology was used to monitor cardiac index and extravascular lung water index to guide volume management, and fiberoptic bronchoalveolar lavage was performed for several times. After that, the patient was successfully weaned from VV-ECMO and ventilator, and then discharged from hospital successfully. During follow-up of one year after the injury, the patient showed no obvious respiratory symptoms, and his lung function was basically normal.

Objective:To understand the facilitators and barriers for patients returning to work after cardiac surgery, with the aim of providing a basis for future research.Methods:Using the descriptive phenomenology research method, 20 patients undergoing cardiac surgery at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected for semi-structured interviews from January to March 2023 by purposive sampling. Content analysis method was used to organize and analyze data.Results:The facilitators and barriers for patients returning to work after cardiac surgery were extracted. The three sub-themes of facilitators were perceived psychological and social support, personal factors, and occupational factors. The two sub-themes of barriers were the high postoperative mental pressure and postoperative daily dysfunction.Conclusions:Patients returning to their work after cardiac surgery is a complex process. A personalized multidisciplinary occupational rehabilitation plan needs to be developed to help patients after cardiac surgery return to work and adapt to potential obstacles to re-employment.

To conduct the association between vitamin B12 and mental health in children and adolescents. Five databases were searched for observational studies in any language reporting on mental health and vitamin B12 levels or intake in children and adolescents from inception to March 18, 2022. Two authors independently extracted data and assessed study quality. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of data were performed. The review was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42022345476). Fifty six studies containing 37,932 participants were identified in the review. Vitamin B12 levels were lower in participants with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (standardized mean difference [SMD], −1.61;95% confidence interval [95% CI], −2.44 to −0.79; p ＜ 0.001), attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (SMD, −0.39; 95% CI, −0.78 to −0.00; p = 0.049) compared with control group. Vitamin B12 intake were lower in participants with ASDs (SMD, −0.86; 95% CI, −1.48 to −0.24; p = 0.006) compared with control group, but showed no difference between depression group (SMD, −0.06; 95% CI, −0.15 to 0.03; p = 0.17) and the control group. Higher vitamin B12 intake were associated with lower risk of depression (odds ratio [OR], 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63−0.98; p = 0.034) and behavioral problems (OR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.69−0.99; p = 0.04). The vast majority of included studies supported potential positive influence of vitamin B12 on mental health, and vitamin B12 deficiency may be a reversible cause for some mental health disorders in children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the application effect of traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 72 patients with DPN of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type who were admitted to Department of Endocrinology of Pudong New Area Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Shanghai from January to June 2019 were selected as the research objects. According to the random number table method, 72 patients with DPN of Qi deficiency and blood stasis were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 36 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given conventional treatment and health education. On this basis, patients in the experimental group were given traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis at Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points on both sides for 14 days of intervention. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) , Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to compare the limb pain, neural symptoms and sleep quality of the two groups before and after intervention.Results:Finally, 34 patients in the experimental group and 35 patients in the control group completed the study. After the intervention, VAS scores of the two groups were lower than those before the intervention and that of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, the total scores of TCSS, sensory function scores and neural symptoms scores of the two groups decreased compared with those before the intervention, and those of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, PSQI of the two groups decreased, and that of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis can alleviate the limb pain of patients with DPN of Qi deficiency and blood stasis, improve the sensory function, neural symptoms and TCSS score of them and improve sleep problems caused by limb pain.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of negative life events on suicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder and the mediating role of mother-child attachment， so as to provide references for reducing suicidal ideation in adolescents with depression. MethodsA total of 145 adolescents underwent psychiatric inpatient and outpatient treatment in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University From May 2020 to April 2021 and met the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） criteria for depressive episode were enrolled， and all selected individuals were assessed using the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events Checklist （ASLEC）， the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment （IPPA） and Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation-Chinese Version （BSI-CV）. Then Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect. ResultsBSI-CV score in adolescents with depressive disorder was positively correlated with ASLEC score （r=0.453， P<0.01）， and negatively correlated with mother-child attachment score in IPPA （r=-0.165， P<0.01）. The partial mediating effect of mother-child attachment between negative life events and suicidal ideation was significant， with a mediating effect value of 0.008， accounting for 14.55% of the total effect value （0.055）. ConclusionSuicidal ideation in adolescents with depressive disorder may be related to loads of negative life events and poor mother-child attachment， moreover， mother-child attachment plays a mediating role in the relationship between negative life events and suicidal ideation.

objective:To observe the effect of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen therapy on patients with acute respiratory failure after gastrointestinal operation under general anesthesia and its efficacy on prognosis.Methods:Totally 107 patients with acute respiratory failure after gastrointestinal operation under general anesthesia in ICU of our hospital were selected from January 2017 to June 2019. Patients were randomly divided into the HFNC group ( n=57) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) group ( n=50). The changes of pH, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2, SpO 2, heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR), and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) before and after oxygen treatment were compared. The differences of comfort level, duration of oxygen treatment, re-intubation rate, 48-h pulmonary infection rate, incidence of anastomotic fistula, length of stay in ICU, length of hospital stay, hospitalization cost, and 28-day mortality were compared between the two groups. The t test of two independent samples was used for the comparison of normal measurement data. Non-normal data were expressed by median (quartile), fractional count data by case number (percentage), and comparison between the two groups by Chi-square test. Results:PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 and SpO 2 were not significantly different after 2-h oxygen therapy. PH of the HFNC group was lower than that of the NIV group (7.39 ± 0.04 vs. 7.42 ± 0.03), PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2 and SpO 2 were higher than that of the NIV group [ (89.22 ± 8.70) vs. (84.99± 9.76) mmHg, (41.3 ± 3.43) vs. (39.34 ± 4.21) mmHg, (250.07 ± 18.34) vs. (237.89±19.38) mmHg, (96.14 ± 2.19) vs. (94.78 ± 2.76)%, P <0.05]; pH, PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2 /FiO 2 and SpO 2 were significantly higher in the HFNC group than those in the NIV group [ (7.39 ± 0.04) vs. (7.36 ± 0.04) ; (97.2 ± 12.45) vs. (93.82 ± 12.54) mmHg; (40.84 ± 5.22) vs. (45.10 ± 6.40) mmHg; (277.16 ± 13.98) vs. (248.86 ± 12.81) mmHg, (98.14 ± 1.64)% vs. (95.48 ± 2.71) %] after 12 h oxygen treatment. The HR, RR and IAP of the HFNC group were lower than those of the NIV group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P <0.05). The duration of oxygen therapy in the HFNC group was shorter than that in the NIV group [(32.01 ± 7.57) vs. (40.88 ± 8.89) h], the reintubation rate was lower than that in the NIV group (1.75% vs. 12%), the pulmonary infection rate within 48 h oxygen therapy was lower than that in the NIV group (8.78% vs.30%), and the length of stay in ICU was shorter than that in the NIV group [(5.61 ± 1.73) vs. (7.60 ± 2.31) d], and the hospitalization cost was lower than that in the NIV group ( t = 4.822, P <0. 05). Conclusions:HFNC can improve the oxygenation index of patients with hypoxemia after gastrointestinal operation under general anesthesia, reduce oxygen treatment time, reduced reintubation rate, reduce pulmonary infection rate within 48 h, and improve the prognosis.

Objective:To evaluate the value of lung ultrasound score (LUS) on predicting weaning outcome in patients with intro-abdominal infection (IAI) undergoing mechanical ventilation.Methods:Patients with IAI undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to Research Institute of General Surgery of East War Zone Hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) of the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from January to December in 2018 were included. The patients who satisfied weaning criteria were enrolled in the weaning process, which included spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) and extubation. They were divided into SBT success group and SBT failure group according to whether passed 120-minute SBT or not. LUS scores before and after SBT were compared between the two groups. The patients in the SBT success group were extubated, and they were divided into successful extubation group and failed extubation group for sub-group analysis according to whether re-intubation was needed in 48 hours after extubation. LUS score before extubation (at the end of SBT) and 48 hours after extubation (48 hours after extubation in the successful extubation group or before re-intubation in the failed extubation group) were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of LUS score before SBT for SBT failure and LUS score before extubation for the failure.Results:A total of 76 patients with IAI undergoing mechanical ventilation were included. Twenty-three patients had duration of mechanical ventilation less than 48 hours, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), tracheotomy or automatic discharge were excluded, and 53 patients were enrolled. SBT was failed in 9 patients, and successfully performed in 44 patients, of whom 23 patients with successful extubation, and 21 with failed extubation. The LUS scores before and after SBT in the SBT failure group were significantly higher than those in the SBT success group (before SBT: 13.22±1.99 vs. 10.79±1.64, t = -3.911, P = 0.000; after SBT: 19.00±1.12 vs. 13.41±1.86, t = -8.665, P = 0.000). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of LUS score before SBT for predicting SBT failure was 0.82 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.67-0.98, P = 0.002]. When the optimum cut-off value was 12.5, the sensitivity was 66.7%, and the specificity was 84.1%. Sub-group analysis showed that the LUS scores before and after extubation in the failed extubation group were significantly higher than those in the successful extubation group (before extubation: 14.19±1.60 vs. 12.69±1.81, t = -2.881, P = 0.006; after extubation: 16.42±1.59 vs. 12.78±1.54, t = -7.710, P = 0.000). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of LUS score before extubation for predicting the failure was 0.81 (95% CI was 0.69-0.92, P = 0.000). When the optimum cut-off value was 13.5, the sensitivity was 80.0%, and the specificity was 65.2%. Conclusion:LUS score can effectively predict SBT outcome, risk of re-intubation after extubation in patients with IAI undergoing mechanical ventilation.

In recent years, the clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been constantly updated. Among the general principles, it is particularly emphasized that, in order to improve the ratio of treat to target(T2T) of RA, doctors and patients should work together to negotiate the details of the guidelines. Therefore, it is important for patients to further understand the disease and clinical guidelines of RA, and to better cooperate with doctors. This study was based on the most concerned issues of RA patients and international standard procedure of guideline study, we organized the working group and introduce the following 16 recommendations constituting the RA patients′ practice guidelines.
