Objective To retrieve,analyze and synthesize evidence on post-transplant diabetes mellitus(PTDM)in lung transplant patients,providing reference for clinical healthcare professionals in preventing and managing PTDM in lung transplant patients.Methods Based on the"6S"evidence model,systematic searches were conducted across guideline websites,professional associations,and Chinese/English databases regarding post-transplant diabetes mellitus(PTDM)in lung transplant patients.The search period spanned from data-base inception to January 2025.Two researchers independently completed literature screening,quality assess-ment,and evidence extraction.Results A total of 14 articles were included,comprising 1 clinical decision,2 guidelines,5 expert consensuses,2 specifications,1 evidence summary,and 3 systematic reviews.Twenty-four pieces of best evidence were synthesized from seven aspects:risk factors,diagnosis,screening,prevention,treatment,glycemic control targets,and health education.Conclusion The best evidence for preventing and managing post-transplant diabetes mellitus in lung transplant patients provides an evidence-based foundation for clinical practice among healthcare professionals.Evidence should be selected and applied according to spe-cific clinical situations and patient needs.

BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.

The widespread prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms in clinical settings poses significant challen-ges to the prevention and control of hospital-associatal infections.Novel gene sequencing techniques,such as whole-genome sequencing(WGS)and metagenomic next-generation sequencing(mNGS),have emerged as revo-lutionary tools for precisely tracing to the source of hospital-associatal infection outbreak and the prevention and control through high-resolution genomic analysis.The technical principles and advantages of WGS and mNGS were systematically reviewed in the article.The pivotal roles of the techniques in confirmation of outbreak,identification of infection source,transmission chain rebuilding,study on transmission dynamics and evaluation of effect on in-fection prevention and control were elaborated through analysis of typical cases in China and abroad so as to pro-vide theoretical bases and technical support for precise identification of prevention and control of nosocomial infec-tion.

Objective:To explore the effect of neck muscle group exercise on setup errors in postoperative radiotherapy for head and neck cancers.Methods:A total of 126 head and neck cancer patients scheduled for radiotherapy at the First Affiliated Hospital, Air Force Medical University from February 2021 to October 2022 were prospectively enrolled. Among these patients, four patients discontinued treatment due to personal reasons, and the remaining 126 patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 61 patients in each group. The experimental group received neck muscle group exercise, while the control group received routine treatment without intervention. Cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans were performed weekly to measure setup errors at the levels of the clivus and the 4 th and 7 th cervical vertebrae (C4 and C7, respectively). Three-dimensional displacement, systematic errors, and random errors were calculated for each level. The appropriate margins of planning target volumes (PTVs) were determined using the Van Herk formula. Results:Baseline characteristics were well-balanced between the two groups, with no statistically significant differences ( P > 0.05). Compared to the control group, the experimental group showed significantly smaller setup errors in the left-right ( x) and anterior-posterior ( z) directions at the clivus level, as well as in the z direction at the C4 and C7 vertebral levels ( t = 2.30, 5.29, 4.07, 2.40, P < 0.05). The required PTV margin in the z direction increased to 4.0 mm at C7 from 2.4 mm and 2.8 mm at the clivus in the experimental and control groups, respectively. Correlation analysis revealed a strong negative correlation between the x-direction at the clivus and C4 vertebral levels and the couch angle (RTN) among all patients ( r = -0.548, -0.452, P < 0.001). A moderate negative correlation was observed between the inferior-superior ( y) direction and the z-direction at the C4 and C7 vertebral levels ( r = -0.160, -0.222, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Neck muscle group exercise can reduce setup errors and PTV margins in the anterior-posterior direction in postoperative radiotherapy for head and neck cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the status of feeding intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation and analyze its influencing factors,to provide a reference for formulating a reasonable enteral nutrition plan and improving patients'nutritional status.Methods Convenient sampling method was used to retrospectively collect the clinical data of 115 patients who received enteral nutrition support after lung transplantation and were hospitalized in the ICU of a tertiary hospital in Guangdong Province from August 2022 to November 2023.According to the occurrence of feeding intolerance during ICU hospitalization,the patients were divided into a feeding tolerance group and a feeding intolerance group.Univariate and logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the influencing factors of feeding intolerance patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation.Results Within 7 days of initiating enteral nutrition,a total of 63 patients developed feeding intolerance,with an incidence of 54.78％.Among them,the incidence of feeding intolerance was relatively high within 1 to 3 days after initiating enteral feeding.The clinical manifestations of feeding intolerance were diarrhea,bloating,gastric retention,vomiting/regurgitation,among which the diarrhea was the highest incidence(87.30％).Logi-stic regression analysis showed that intraoperative net balance volume(OR=0.999),intraoperative blood transfusion(OR=1.001)volume and diabetes history(OR=0.170)were independent influencing factors for feeding intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation(P＜0.05).Conclusion There was a high incidence of feed-ing intolerance in patients with enteral nutrition after lung transplantation.Patients undergoing lung transplantation who have a high net intraoperative fluid balance,receive a low volume of intraoperative blood transfusions,and have a history of diabetes are at a lower risk of developing feeding intolerance when receiving postoperative enteral nutrition.When starting enteral nutrition,medical staff should dynamically evaluate the risk factors of feeding intolerance,screen high-risk patients as early as possible,and formulate reasonable enteral nutrition programs to improve the nutritional status of patients and promote their rehabilitation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of CD105 and erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A2 (EPHA2) expressions in breast invasive ductal carcinoma and the effects of the combination of diabetes mellitus on CD105 and EPHA2 expressions.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. A total of 74 patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from June 2019 to June 2024 were selected, and paraffin specimens from the patients after surgery were collected. Immunohistochemistry SP method was used to detect the expressions of CD105 and EPHA2 proteins in specimens. CD105 expression was expressed as the number of CD105 labeled microvessels, and EPHA2 expression was expressed as the proportion of EPHA2 positive expression area. The correlation of CD105 and EPHA2 expressions with the clinicopathological characteristics and diabetes mellitus of patients, as well as the relationship between the expressions of CD105 and EPHA2 were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate and multivariate analysis of the factors influencing overall survival of patients.Results:All 74 patients were female. The median age was 60 years old, 44 patients (59.46%) had tumor grade ≥ grade 3, 36 patients (48.65%) had tumor diameter ≥ 2 cm, 28 patients (37.84%) had lymph node metastasis, 30 patients (40.54%) had nerve vessel invasion, and 32 patients (43.24%) had diabetes mellitus. There were statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with different age, tumor diameter, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis or not and nerve vessel invasion or not between diabetes mellitus group and non-diabetes mellitus group (all P < 0.05). The number of CD105 marking the microvessel was (32±9) and (24±8), respectively in diabetes mellitus group and non-diabetes mellitus group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.63, P < 0.010); the positive expression area proportion of EPHA2 was (19±5)% and (15±4)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.85, P < 0.010). The expression of CD105 was related to the duration of diabetes mellitus, tumor diameter, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis or not (all P < 0.05), and the expression of EPHA2 was related to tumor diameter and TNM stage (all P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between CD105 and EPHA2 expression ( r = 0.75, P < 0.001). The differences in overall survival of patients with or without diabetes mellitus and patients with different CD105 and EPHA2 expressions were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that CD105 expression ( HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.04-1.16, P = 0.001) and EPHA2 expression ( HR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.10-1.66, P = 0.005) were independent factors influencing the overall survival of patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma. Conclusions:The expressions of CD105 and EPHA2 are independent prognostic factors in patients with breast invasive ductal carcinoma, and diabetes mellitus can promote the expressions of CD105 and EPHA2, which may increase the risk of poor prognosis.

Objective:To explore facilitators and impediments to home glucose management for patients undergoing bariatric surgery based on the consolidated framework for implementation research (CFIR), so as to inform the development of a glucose management pathway after bariatric surgery.Methods:This study was a descriptive phenomenological study. Using purposive sampling method, seven healthcare professionals and 11 patients undergoing bariatric surgery from the General Surgery·Metabolic and Bariatric Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital were selected from November 2023 to January 2024 for semi-structured interviews. Targeted content analysis was used for the data analysis.Results:A total of six facilitators and six impediments related to the five dimensions of CFIR were distilled. Facilitators included the personalized glucose management program, regular long-term follow-up, multidisciplinary management team, support from family and friends, complication distress, and information technology platform. Impediments involved patterned follow-up, poor accessibility and convenience of resources, role conflict, herd mentality, poor behavioral compliance, and low utilization of digital equipment.Conclusions:Glucose management needs vary in patients after bariatric surgery, with a gradual decline in management compliance. Healthcare professionals should build an "Internet +"home glucose management service model, carry out targeted multidisciplinary team follow-up, and promote the formation of a standardized pathway for patients' home glucose management.
