Objective To integrate the best available evidence of preoperative care for ophthalmic patients undergoing day surgery into clinical practice,so as to improve the quality of nursing.Methods This project was performed in an ophthalmic day surgery ward,guided by the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Practice Application of Clinical Evidence System (PACES) program which includes 3 procedures:baseline audit,evidence implementation,and re-audit.Eight audit criteria were made based on evidences from JBI.Twelve nurses and 267 patients were enrolled in baseline audit,and 12 nurses and 234 patients were recruited for re-audit after evidence implementation.Results Six of the audit criteria that nurses showed poor compliance in the baseline audit(0%~28.5%),such as providing preoperative telephone screening and reducing preoperative waiting time through better preparation and planning,were significantly improved in the re-audit(71.43%~100%).The preoperative waiting time was shortened from 109.70±18.34 minutes to 88.22±9.91 minutes;the correct rates of operation-related knowledge in patients increased from 63.0% to 85.09%;the patients' satisfaction scored 84.23±17.01 in baseline audit and 95.02±7.32 in the re-audit(P<0.001).Conclusion Application of evidence-based preoperative care of ophthalmic patients undergoing day surgery can improve nurse's behavior and compliance with the implementation of evidence into clinical practice,and increase patient satisfaction.Continuous audits are needed to continuously improve clinical nursing quality.

At present, heavy ion is an ideal radiation for cancer treatment, and carbon ion is used in the treatment of many kinds of cancer due to its higher relative biological effect value. In 2019, Wuwei heavy ion center built the first medical heavy ion accelerator-carbon ion radiotherapy system in China, and obtained the registration license from the National Medical Products Administration, and officially received cancer patients in March 2020. This study introduced the development and application of the first carbon ion radiotherapy system in China.

Background Current evidence on whether occupational sulfur dioxide (SO2) exposure affects the risk of hypertension is still limited, and the research results of the effect of environmental SO2 exposure on risk of hypertension remain inconsistent. Objective To analyze the association between self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 and the risk of hypertension, and the potential dose-response relationship between the years of exposure to SO2 and the risk of hypertension. Methods Based on the Jinchang cohort, a nested case-control study design was adopted. A total of 841 newly diagnosed hypertension patients were followed up as the case group, and the control group was selected with 1∶1 individual matching based on non-occupational factors and occupational factors, respectively. The former matching conditions included age ±2 years old, same gender, working age ±2 years, and home address in the same sub-district. The latter was limited to working in the same workshop on the basis of the former conditions. Finally, the former included 717 controls and the latter included 488 controls. A unified questionnaire was used to collect general demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, history of diabetes, family history of hypertension, and information on occupational exposure to SO2 (self-reported history of occupational exposure to SO2 and years of exposure to SO2). Conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between occupational exposure to SO2 and hypertension, and the dose-response relationship between the years of SO2 exposure and the risk of hypertension. Results In the nested case-control study matching with the non-occupational factors, the OR of hypertension in workers with self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 was 2.39 (95%CI: 1.68-3.39); while when matching with the occupational factors, the OR of hypertension in workers with self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 was 1.48 (95%CI: 1.04-2.12). The results of the dose-response relationship showed that as the SO2 exposure years increased from 1-9 years, 10-19 years, 20-29 years, and 30 years and above, in the nested case-control study matching with non-occupational factors, the ORs of hypertension were 1.85 (95%CI: 0.68-5.08), 1.46 (95%CI: 0.58-3.67), 1.64 (95%CI: 1.00-2.67), and 4.95 (95%CI: 2.63-9.31), respectively; in the nested case-control study matching with occupational factors, the ORs of hypertension were 0.98 (95%CI: 0.40-2.41), 1.84 (95%CI: 0.72-4.70), 1.37 (95%CI: 0.82-2.29), and 2.44 (95%CI: 1.37-4.35), respectively. The two dose-response relationships were positive by χ2 trend test (Ptrend<0.05). Conclusion Self-reported occupational exposure to SO2 is associated with the risk of hypertension in the study population, and the hypertension risk increases with the increase of SO2 exposure years.
