Objective To investigate the application effect of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and alveolar lavage therapy in the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent wheezing diseases in children. Methods A total of 151 children with recurrent wheezing diseases were enrolled, and divided into control group (n=84) and study group (n=67) based on different diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The control group received conventional diagnosis and treatment, while the study group underwent fiberoptic bronchoscopy combined with alveolar lavage therapy. The time to resolution of symptoms and length of hospital stay were compared between the two groups. Additionally, lung function [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV₁), FEV₁/forced vital capacity (FEV₁/FVC) and peak expiratory flow (PEF)], exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), serum inflammatory mediator levels [C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and white blood cell (WBC) count] and clinical efficacy were compared. Results The absence time of wheezing and pulmonary rales and hospital stay in the study group were significantly shorter than those in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, FEV₁, FEV₁/FVC and PEF in two groups were significantly higher than before treatment, and the study group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, FeNO, CRP, PCT and WBC in two groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the study group was significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The total effective rate of the study group was 94.03%, which was significantly higher than 77.38% of the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Fiberoptic bronchoscopy and alveolar lavage are effective in the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent asthmatic diseases in children, which can effectively relieve symptoms, shorten hospital stay, and improve lung function, FeNO and serum inflammatory mediators.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the sagittal orientation of lumbar pedicle screws and screw loosening based on the craniocaudal cyclic load and artificial vertebra,and to provide a reference for the improvement of screw orientation during surgery,consequently reducing the incidence of screw loosening postoperatively.Methods Pedicle screws were inserted into artificial vertebrae in the cranial,parallel,and caudal orientations.After the artificial vertebra was installed in the material testing machine,the model was subjected to a 100 N preload and 166 N cyclic load for 10 000 cycles.During loading,displacements were recorded and cycle-displacement curves were drawn.After the test was completed and the screws were removed,the screw hole volume was measured and the screw hole volume ratio(the ratio of screw hole volume to the volume of the screw inserted into the vertebra)was calculated.Results The cyclic displacement curve showed that the cranial group had the largest displacement,followed by the parallel and caudal groups.The screw-hole volume ratio results showed that the cranial group had the highest ratio,followed by the parallel and caudal groups.Correlation analysis showed a negative relationship between screw sagittal orientation and terminal displacement(displacement corresponding to the 10 000th cycle)(ρ=-0.897,P=0.02)and screw hole volume ratio(ρ=-0.902,P=0.01).Conclusions There is a negative correlation between the sagittal orientation of the lumbar pedicle screw and screw loosening.Namely,when the screw sagittal orientation is adjusted from a cranial tilt to a parallel and even caudal tilt at a certain angle range,the incidence of screw loosening is reduced.

AIM:To describe the dynamic characteristics of mitochondria in the development of mouse embryonic hematopoietic stem cells,and to explore the function of mitochondria in this process.METHODS:Single-cell transcrip-tomic data of continuous developmental hematopoietic stem cell-related populations were analyzed to describe the dynamic changes of genes related to mitochondrial synthesis and energy metabolism.To explore the dynamic changes in the number and activity of mitochondria during the development of hematopoietic stem cells,we detected the mitochondrial number and mitochondrial membrane potential of the cells in each stage of hematopoietic stem cell development by fluorescent probe staining combined with flow cytometry.We added small molecule inhibitors of mitochondrial synthesis and energy metabolism and used hematopoietic cell colony formation assay to detect the effect of mitochondrial function inhibition on the induction of hematopoietic products in vitro.RESULTS:(1)Single-cell transcriptome analysis showed that genes in-volved in mitochondrial synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation were significantly up-regulated in endothelial cell and type Ⅰ pre-hematopoietic stem cell compared with those involved in glycolysis,and these genes could significantly distinguish continuous dynamic populations.(2)The results of fluorescence staining and flow cytometry analysis showed that mito-chondrial number and mitochondrial membrane potential had an increasing trend during the continuous development of he-matopoietic stem cell,reaching the highest level in the precursor stage of type 2 pre-hematopoietic stem cell,and decreasing in the mature hematopoietic stem cell of fetal liver.(3)Compared with control group,inhibition of mitochondrial respirato-ry chain Ⅰ and Ⅴ significantly reduced the number of hematopoietic colonies(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:(1)Genes re-lated to mitochondrial synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation are highly expressed in hemogenic endothelial cells and type Ⅰpre-hematopoietic stem cells,and can be used to distinguish continuous developing populations.(2)The mitochondrial number and mitochondrial membrane potential increased continuously during hematopoietic stem cell development and reached the highest level in type 2 pre-hematopoietic stem cells.(3)Inhibition of mitochondrial respiratory chain Ⅰ and Ⅴ significantly reduced the production of hematopoietic products in vitro.

The search period was from database establishment to June 2023.Results:A total of 19 articles from six countries were included. There were elements such as registration types and requirements, practice methods, prescription authority, supervision departments, and relevant laws. The inspiration for the hierarchical management of nurses in China mainly included four aspects: improving the hierarchical registration and management system, clarifying the job responsibilities of nurses; guiding the reasonable flow of nursing talents, encouraging multi-site practice in nurses; cultivating nurses' prescription ability and granting them prescription authority; improving supervision and legal protection to ensure that nurses practiced in accordance with the law.Conclusions:It is urgent to expand the practice scope of the nursing team in our country, supplement grassroots medical and health talents, undertake the functions of case management for chronic patients, improve the quality of life of patients, and meet the important task of community and family nursing needs.

Outpatient humanistic care refered to providing a full process of caring medical services to outpatients. In order to standardize the human caring services for outpatients in medical institutions, promote the comprehensive service level of outpatient services, and improve the patient′s medical experience, Chinese Association for Life Care issued the group standard of Management Norms for Human caring of Outpatients in April 2023. This standard clarified the relevant terms and definitions of human caring for outpatients, specified the basic requirements for human caring, the humanistic quality and care responsibilities of outpatient staff, the outpatient care environment and facilities, the outpatient care process and measures, and quality management. It designed standardized and personalized full process care service norms, providing references for medical institutions at all levels to promote the development of human caring for outpatients.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of patients′ satisfaction with nursing humanistic care, and to provide reference for improving the quality of such care provided by hospitals.Methods:From July to August 2022, outpatients and inpatients in 30 provinces were selected by multi-stage stratified sampling as the survey objects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on an online platform, using the general information questionnaire and Chinese version of methodist health care system nurse caring instrument revised by the research group. The latter instrument consists of 12 dimensions. namely care coordination, competence, teaching/learning, emotional support, respect for individuality, physical comfort, availability, helping/trusting relationship, patient/family engagement, physical environment, spiritual environment and outcomes. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data collected by the questionnaires, and independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the influencing factors of patient satisfaction. Results:A total of 107 hospitals were selected for questionnaire survey, including 86 tertiary hospitals and 21 secondary hospitals, and 29 108 valid questionnaires were recovered. The patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scored (5.40±0.86); the top three dimensions were competence (5.50±0.89), emotional support (5.47±0.88) and helping/trusting relationship (5.46±0.86); the lowest scoring dimensions were teaching/learning (5.38±1.01), spiritual environment (5.36±1.04) and patient/family engagement (5.11±1.28). Differences with gender, age, marital status, child status, educational level, occupation, place of residence, economic region, per capita monthly income of the family, type of medical insurance, medical department visited and surgery or not presented significant differences on the patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scores ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The satisfaction of patients with hospital′s nursing humanistic care in China was at the middle to upper level. In the future, health education for patients should be strengthened, and a mode of family-engaged nursing humanistic care should be constructed in line with the Chinese cultural background. In the process of nursing services, the particularity of patient groups should be considered to better meet their needs.

Objective:To explore home maintenance acceptance of family members of elderly discharged patients with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) catheter and to analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From January to November 2019, a total of 143 family members of elderly patients who were given PICC in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Wenzhou and discharged with catheter were selected as research objects. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 143 family members of elderly discharged patients with PICC catheter using a general information questionnaire, Catheter Maintenance Related Cognitive Questionnaire and Barthel Index Rating Scale (BI) . A total of 143 questionnaires were distributed in this study and a total of 143 valid questionnaires were recovered. The effective recovery rate was 100%.Results:The acceptance rate of home maintenance of 143 family members of elderly discharged patients with PICC catheter was 60.14% (86/143) . Single factor analysis showed that home maintenance acceptance score of family members of elderly discharged patients with PICC catheter had statistically significant differences in working status of family members, ADL score of patients, whether they stayed in bed, whether the catheter maintenance in the residence was convenient, whether they were confident in catheter observation and treatment and whether they were worried about the effect of home maintenance ( P<0.05) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the convenience of catheter maintenance in the residence, self-care ability of patients and whether they were worried about the maintenance effect were the influencing factors of the home maintenance acceptance of family members of elderly discharged patients with PICC catheter ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The family maintenance acceptance of elderly discharged patients with PICC catheter is at a medium level. It is necessary to strengthen the maintenance knowledge education and operation skills training of family members with inconvenient catheter maintenance in residence and poor self-care ability of patients and help them to improve the maintenance effect so as to better carry out home maintenance.

Objective: To observe the plaque surface morphology and neo-vascularization within the plaque using superb microvascular imaging(SMI)and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS), and to compare the correlation and consistency of the two technologies based on making clinical diagnosis of symptomatic carotid artery plaque as the standard. Methods: A total of 92 patients undergoing carotid ultrasonography in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from August 2016 to October 2017 were recruited, including 61 males and 31 females, aged(63.5 ± 7.7)years(range, 42-80 years.A total of 105 plaques were found.According to whether or not to have plaque-induced ipsilateral ischemic symptoms, patients were divided double-blindly into the symptom group and the non-symptom group.The features of plaque(including surface morphology and neo-vascularization)were recorded.The ultrasonographic findings were chi-squarely tested. Results: There were statistically significant differences in the surface morphology and enhancement degree of CEUS between carotid artery plaque-induced ischemic symptom group and the non-symptom group(χ²=6.865, P=0.032; χ²=22.494, P<0.001). The SMI-detected surface morphology and neo-vascularization had statistically significant differences between the two groups(χ²=10.367, P=0.006; χ²=8.186, P=0.041). The correlations of plaque surface morphology(r=0.856, P<0.001)and diagnostic consistency(r=0.802, P<0.001)between SMI and CEUS were higher.In the symptom group, SMI-showed plaque fissures and small surface pitting were in 33.9%(20/59)of patients, and CEUS-showed plaque fissures and small surface pitting were in 25.4%(15/59)of patients.And SMI had a better detection rate of slight and irregular appearances on plaque surface.Taking the first grade of the plaque surface as the standard, CEUS showed a sensitivity of 42.4% and specificity of 80.4% for detecting symptomatic plaques, and SMI showed a sensitivity of 54.2% and specificity of 76.1%.The two methods had similar specificity, and SMI had a slightly higher sensitivity than did CEUS.CEUS and SMI had a good correlation of plaque neo-vascularization(r=0.802, P<0.001)and a moderate diagnostic consistency(r=0.539, P<0.001). Taking the enhancement level of 2 as the standard, CEUS showed a sensitivity of 75.8% and specificity of 67.4% for detecting the symptomatic plaque, and SMI showed a sensitivity of 58.6% and specificity of 69.5%.The two methods had similar specificity, and CEUS had a higher sensitivity than did SMI. Conclusions SMI and CEUS have a good consistency for detecting plaque surface morphology.SMI and CEUS are more correlated with plaque-induced symptoms than is two-dimensional ultrasound.The SMI has a higher display rate and repeatability than does CEUS for detecting the small fissures and the surface features of plaques.Compared with SMI-detected neo-vascularization, the degree of CEUS enhancement is more correlated with the symptoms.The specificity of CEUS and SMI is similar, and the sensitivity of CEUS is higher than that of SMI.

Objective To investigate the correlation between intraoperative ultrasonographic features and expression of immunohistochemical markers in patients with glioma.Methods Totally 116 patients with glioma confirmed pathologically were collected.Ultrasonic features were observed,including the main site of the tumor,maximum diameter,border,cystic degeneration,calcification,the degree of peritumoral edema and CDFI blood flow classification,and the correlation between ultrasonographic features and immunohistochemical results such as Ki-67 and isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) was analyzed.Results Univariate analysis showed that the border,peritumoral edema and CDFI blood flow were significantly different between negative and positive Ki-67 expression patients (P＜ 0.01).The border,cystic degeneration and peritumoral edema were distinct between negative and positive IDH1 patients (P＜0.01).Multivariate analysis showed that gliomas with clear border,high degree of peritumoral edema and rich CDFI blood flow tended to show positive Ki-67 expression,while those with vague border,low degree of peritumoral edema were frequently accompanied by positive IDH1 expression.Conclusion The border of gliomas,peritumoral edema and blood flow showed on ultrasonography may predict the expression of Ki-67 and IDH1.It is of great significance for preliminary evaluation on biological behaviors and prognosis of the tumors before surgical operation.

Objective To explore the impact of nutritional risk on short-term clinical outcomes after laparoscope-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods The retrospective case-control study was conducted.The clinical data of 150 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between June 2014 and April 2016 were collected.According to nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002),42 and 108 patients were respectively divided into the nutritional risk group (NRS 2002 score ≥3) and non-nutritional risk group (NRS 2002 score ＜3).Laparoscope-assisted radical subtotal gastrectomy or total gastrectomy was performed based on tumor location.Observation indicators:(1) postoperative short-term clinical outcomes:postoperative complications,duration of postoperative hospital stay,hospital expenses,unplanned readmission within 30 days after discharging.Postoperative complications meant total complications within 30 days postoperatively,grade Ⅰ-Ⅴ of Clavien-Dindo grade was complication classification.Grade Ⅱ and above of Clavien-Dindo grade were analyzed in this research.(2) Risk factors analysis affecting occurrence of postoperative complications of patients.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s and analyzed using the independent-sample t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (Qn) and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.Categorical variables were described as number and percentage and analyzed by the chisquare test.Ranked data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U test.Univariate analysis was done by the chi-square test.P＜0.1 of univariate analysis was used to multivariate analysis.COX regression model in multivariate analysis was built using progressive condition method.Results (1) Postoperative short-term clinical outcomes:number of patients with total complications,number of patients with severe complications,duration of postoperative hospital stay,hospital expenses and number of patients with unplanned readmission within 30 days after discharging were 9,2,11 days (9 days,16 days),57 825 yuan (51 894 yuan,66 908 yuan),2 in the nutritional risk group and 16,3,11 days (9 days,13 days),55 067 yuan (49 395 yuan,62 423 yuan),8 in the non-nutritional risk group,respectively,with no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (X2=0.952,0.010,Z=-1.133,-1.691,X2 =0.048,P＞0.05).Results of univariate analysis showed that age was a risk factor affecting incidence of complications after laparoscope-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (X2 =4.468,P＜ 0.05).Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative hypoproteinemia was an independent risk factor affecting incidence of complications after laparoscope-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (OR =2.797,95％ confidence interval:1.053-7.435,P＜0.05).Conclusion There is little poor impact of nutritional risk on short-term outcomes after laparoscope-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer,preoperative hypoproteinemia is an independent risk factor affecting occurrence of grade Ⅱ and above of postoperative complications.
