Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides ( CCP ) antibodies combined rheumatoid factors (RF) on elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods From January 2012 to December 2014, 29 cases of elder patients in our hospital with rheumatoid arthritis (elder RA group, age >60 year), 47 cases of elderly health control group (elder RA group, age≥60), and 48 cases of elder patients without rheumatoid arthritis (non-elder RA group, age<60 year) were selected.The anti-CCP antibodies and rheumatoid factor (RF) levels of three groups were detected, and the significance of anti-CCP antibody combined RF on the diagnosis of elderly rheumatoid arthritis was analyzed.Results Diagnostic positive rate of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was significantly higher than that of anti-CCP antibodies, and the difference was significant (χ2 =7.632, P =0.006).Diagnostic positive rate of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was higher than that of RF, but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =3.107, P=0.078).The diagnostic positive rate of anti-CCP antibodies, RF, and anti-CCP antibodies +RF for diagnosis of elderly rheumatoid arthritis had no statistically difference with that of non-elderly RA group.The sensitivity and negative predictive value of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was higher than that of only anti-CCP antibodies and RF.The area under the ROC curve of detecting anti-CCP +RF was 0.786, which was higher than that of anti-CCP antibodies (0.699) and RF (0.663), indicated that the reliability of anti-CCP antibodies +RF was higher than that of anti-CCP antibodies and RF.Conclusion The anti-CCP antibodies and RF can diagnose elderly rheumatoid arthritis, and anti-CCP antibodies combined RF has more clinical significance.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical status, and analyz obstacles and facilitators for perioperative deep vein thrombosis prevention of brain neoplasms based on the Ottawa model of research use (OMRU).Methods:A total of 93 patients with brain tumors who were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April to May 2021 and 33 nurses in the neurosurgery ward and operating room neurosurgery special group were selected as the baseline review subjects by convenience sampling. Based on the framework of evidence-based continued quality improvement of Fudan University, we searched BMJ Best Practice, UpToDate, The Joanna Briggs Institute Library, International Guideline Library, American Guideline Network, Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network, National Institutes for Health and Clinical Technology Optimization, Medline, Medlive, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, Wanfang and SinoMed according to the '6S' evidence pyramid from inception to January 1, 2021 for all clinical decisions, recommended practices, best practice information, evidence summary, guidelines and expert consensus on venous thrombosis assessment, prevention, screening, nursing and health education. The best evidence was summarized, and the final review indicators were formulated through two rounds of expert correspondence. According to the results of baseline review, barriers and facilitators were analyzed, and countermeasures were developed guided by OMRU.Results:A total of 19 best evidences were included, and 34 review indicators were developed in this study. Among them, only 4 indicators had a compliance rate of 100%, 18 ones had a compliance rate of 0, and the other 12 ones had a compliance rate of 6.5%-97.8%. A multi-factor analysis of the review results showed that the main obstacles of evidence implementation were the feasibility and comprehensibility at evidence level, the lack of knowledge and heavy workloads at the potential practitioner level, insufficient education materials, trainings and preventive equipment at system level. Furthermore, the reliable sources of evidence at evidence level, supports from practitioners at the potential practitioner level and system resources (such as training, national and hospital policies, etc.) at system level may contribute to the clinical application of evidence.Conclusions:There was still a huge gap between the best evidence and clinical practice. The obstacles and facilitating factors in evidence transformation should be evaluated scientifically and comprehensively, and corresponding countermeasures should be given to promote the application of evidence in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of umbilical cord milking (UCM) on neonatal outcomes after cesarean section.Methods:Chinese and English databases (including CNKI, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine Disc, VIP, Yiigle, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar) and ClinicalTrials.gov were retrieved from the inception to July 2023. Randomized controlled trials regarding UCM in neonates from different races who were born by cesarean section were included. The outcomes were postnatal hemoglobin level, hematocrit value, peak serum bilirubin level, phototherapy, cord blood pH value, intraventricular hemorrhage, death, polycythemia, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and Apgar score. The risk of bias among the included studies was confined to low or possible risk according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool 2.0. RevMan5.3 was used for meta-analysis, and subgroup analysis was performed among neonates with different gestational ages. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the grades of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) framework.Results:A total of 11 articles involving 2 347 neonates (1 322 full-term and 1 025 preterm infants) were included. Meta-analysis results showed that: (1) Compared with the immediate cord clamping, UCM increased the hemoglobin level within 24 h and 48-72 h after birth ( MD=1.40, 95% CI: 1.11-1.70, Z=9.32; MD=0.86, 95% CI: 0.69-1.02, Z=10.02, both P<0.01), hematocrit value within 24 h and 48-72 h after birth ( MD=2.73, 95% CI: 0.18-5.29, Z=2.09, P=0.04; MD=3.57, 95% CI: 2.29-4.85, Z=5.46, P<0.01). However, no significant differences were found in the peak bilirubin level, phototherapy, cord blood pH, and Apgar score at 1 and 5 min (all P>0.05). (2) Compared with delayed cord clamping, UCM increased the hemoglobin level ( MD=0.83, 95% CI: 0.75-0.91, Z=20.11, P<0.01) and hematocrit value ( MD=2.34, 95% CI: 1.25-3.43, Z=4.20, P<0.01) within 24 h after birth, but not in the hematocrit value at 48-72 h after birth ( MD=－0.38, 95% CI:－2.27-1.52, Z=0.39, P=0.70) or the peak bilirubin level ( MD=－0.65, 95% CI:－2.16-1.04, Z=0.69, P=0.49). Sensitivity analysis showed that for full-term neonates born by cesarean section, the peak bilirubin level in the UCM group was significantly lower than that in the delayed cord clamping group ( MD=－1.30, 95% CI:－2.26-0.34, Z=2.66, P<0.01). Still, the incidence of phototherapy, intraventricular hemorrhage (grade Ⅰ-Ⅳ), death, polycythemia, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, and Apgar score at 1 min and 5 min showed no statistical differences (all P>0.05). Conclusions:UCM could increase the short-term postnatal hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in neonates born by cesarean section, which might prevent neonatal anemia in the short term without increasing the adverse neonatal outcomes. Little effects were observed on the peak bilirubin level, phototherapy, polycythemia, etc. More high-quality and large-sample randomized controlled trials are needed in the future.
