Objective To identify the critical indicators of nursing practice environment in China, as a reference for related studies. Methods Descriptive systematic review was used to retrieve literature of nursing practice environment, collect all potential indicators and design questionnaires based on those indicators. In the end, 39 potential indicators were identified, for a questionnaire survey of nurses from cooperating medical institutions in 30 provinces in China, with the data subject to statistical analysis in multiple linear regression model. Results Questionnaire items of higher mean score were usually found with a smaller 95% confidence interval, while coefficient of variation tended to be lower. Seventeen indicators were recommended as key indicators for nursing practice environment in China, including proper working hours and intensity, opportunities for nurses to participate in hospital management, good working relationship with doctors within a department,nursing managers′support for nurses′right decisions. The remaining components turned out to be insignificant in the analysis. Conclusions The influencing factors for the nursing practice environment in China are different from other countries. In this consideration, nursing managers should further explore and focus on such special indicators, and proactively improve the quality of nursing practice environment for better nursing service.

Objective:To study disease spectrum and genetic profiles of inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) among newborns in selected areas of Nanning city.Methods:From July 2019 to December 2021, neonates born and received IEM screening in our hospital were prospectively enrolled. Heel blood samples were tested using tandem mass spectrometry as IEM screening. Neonates with positive results were called back for recheck. Whole exome sequencing was used to detect possible pathogenic genes in suspected cases and IEM was diagnosed combining clinical manifestations. Sanger sequencing method was used for the diagnosed neonates and their parents to confirm the diagnoses.Results:A total of 16 207 live-birth neonates were enrolled. For initial IEM screening, 1 423 neonates were positive (8.8%) and 1 311 were called back (92.1%). 15 cases were suspected with IEM and 8 were diagnosed. The overall detection rate was 1∶2 026. Among 8 confirmed cases, 4 cases had amino acid metabolism disorders (2 cases of phenylketonuria, 1 case of Citrin deficiency and 1 case of tyrosinemia), 2 cases had organic acid metabolism disorders (1 case of methylmalonic acidemia and 1 case of glutaric acidemia) and 2 cases had fatty acid oxidation disorders (1 case of carnitine palmitotransferaseⅡdeficiency and 1 case of primary carnitine deficiency). 5 cases had homozygous genetic variants (2 in PAH, and 1 in SLC25A13, SLC22A5 and FAH, respectively) and 3 had heterozygous genetic variants (1 in CPT2, MUT, and GCDH, respectively). During follow-up, all 8 cases had normal growth and developmental outcomes after standardized treatment.Conclusions:The overall detection rate of IEM is high, with varied genetic profiles in selected areas of Nanning. Timely genetic testing may lead to early diagnosis and treatment and improve the quality of life of neonates.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between blood lipid variability and recurrence of cerebrovascular events in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with ischemic stroke admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 were prospectively enrolled and followed up for 30 months. The standard deviation (SD) and coefficient of variation (CV) of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were calculated during follow-up, and the attainment rate of blood lipid before and after follow-up were compared. The recurrence of cerebrovascular events was monitored, including ischemic stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, and transient ischemic attack. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the correlation between the variability of TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, and TG and the recurrence of cerebrovascular events.Results:A total of 142 patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 81 males (57.0%), aged 63.4±5.8 years. During follow-up, 34 patients (23.9%) experienced recurrent cerebrovascular events. At the end of the follow-up, TC, TG, and LDL-C levels decreased significantly compared to before the follow-up (all P<0.05), and the attainment rate of blood lipid increased significantly compared to before the follow-up (51.4% vs. 12.7%; P=0.001). CV of LDL-C in the recurrent group was significantly higher than that in the non-recurrent group ( P=0.005). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, baseline blood lipids, and baseline blood pressure, LDL-C variability (SD: hazard risk [ HR] 4.051, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 2.671-5.687, P=0.034; CV: HR 3.785, 95% CI 2.356-5.013, P=0.041) and TC variability (SD: HR 3.821, 95% CI 2.450-5.224, P=0.039; CV: HR 3.715, 95% CI 2.401-5.036, P=0.042) during follow-up were independently associated with the recurrence of cerebral vascular events. Conclusions:LDL-C and TC variability are the independent influencing factors for the recurrence of cerebrovascular events in patients with ischemic stroke. Monitoring the variability of LDL-C and TC in patients with ischemic stroke and intervening in a timely manner may reduce the risk of recurrence of cerebrovascular events.
