Objective To apply the best evidence of airway clearance for ICU patients and promote an application of the best evidence in clinical practice to promte nuring quality.Methods The best evidence of airway clearance for ICU patients was summarised.Based on the best evidence,a system of 11 review indicators was established for clinical baseline review in combination with clinical scenario analysis and professional judgment according to the principle of operability,measurability,and understandability.On the basis of the results of review and the analysis of obstacle factors,strategies of airway clearance for ICU patients were proposed and implemented in clinical practice.Between September and December 2022,72 hospitalised patients and 30 nursing staff in the ICU of a general hospital in Wuhan were recruited in the study.Between September and October 2022,routine nursing care for airway clearances was given to the patients,and evidence-based nursing care for airway clearance was offered to the ICU patients between November and December 2022.Clinical pulmonary infection score,nursing staff's knowledge of airway clearance and implementation rate of review indicators were compared before and after the application of evidence-based nursing.Results All of the patients went through the study.After the application of evidence-based nursing practice,the clinical pulmonary infection score was decreased from(4.94±1.66)to(4.14±1.68).The score of airway clearance knowledge was increased from(49.17±9.38)points to(82.17±10.56)points.The implementation rate of the 11 indicators of evidence-based practice before the evidence-based practice was 0～80.00%,and it was significantly improved up to 96.67%～100.00%after the evidence-based practice(all P<0.05).Conclusion Implementation of evidence-based nursing practice in the airway clearance for ICU patients can reduce clinical pulmonary infections in ICU patients,improve the knowledge of nurses in cognition of airway clearance hence to improve the quality of nursing and promote the recovery of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features of a Chinese pedigree affected with tuberculosis sclerosis and explore its molecular pathogenesis. METHODS: Clinical data of the proband and members of his pedigree were collected. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect variants of the TSC1 and TSC2 genes. Candidate variants was verified by Sanger sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. RESULTS: The proband and his mother, who also had mild features of tuberous sclerosis, were found to harbor a novel heterozygous c.4183C>T (p.Q1395X) variant of the TSC2 gene, which was absent in the 4 healthy relatives. Bioinformatic analysis suggested the variant to be likely pathogenic. CONCLUSION The heterozygous c.4183C>T (p.Q1395X) variant of the TSC2 gene probably underlay the disease in this pedigree. Above finding has expanded the spectrum of TSC2 gene variants. The more severe symptoms in the proband may be attributed to phenotypic heterogeneity of this disease.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of coronary artery lesions in infants under 6 months of age with Kawasaki disease(KD), and to explore their regression and risk factors.Methods:The clinical data of 61 infants with KD[34 boys, 24 girls, aged 2.2 (1.7, 3.1) months] admitted to the department of critical care medicine and neonatology, Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from October 2015 to February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed.Persistent coronary artery aneurysm(CAA)was defined as the persistent enlargement of coronary arteries(coronary Z-score≥2.5)on echocardiograms at 12 months after KD onset.Cox proportional hazards mode was conducted to evaluate the potential risk factors of persistent CAA.Results:The incidence of CAA in 61 infants with KD was 52.5% (32/61) and occurred on 5 (4, 8)d of the disease course.During a follow-up of 547 (399, 782)d, five(8.2%, 5/61)infants satisfied the definition of persistent CAA.The median recovery time of CAA was 20 (12, 82)d after KD onset.Cox proportional hazards mode revealed that the maximal coronary Z-score was an independent factor of CAA regression( HR=0.451, 95% CI 0.293-0.694, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the best cutoff value of coronary Z-score for predicting persistent CAA was 6.15(sensitivity 80.0%, specificity 97.7%). Conclusion:CAA is common in infants younger than 6 months with KD.The maximal coronary Z-score is an independent factor of persistent CAA.
