Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2020;46(3):620-624
Objective: To analyze the clinical]features of the patient with nephrotic syndrome who developed Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and cytomegalovirus pneumonia (CMP) after oral administration of tacrolimus caspsules, and to discuss the correlations between immunosuppressive patient and Pneumocystis carinii (Pc) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, and to provide the basis for the reasonable treatment plan in the early stage. Methods: The clinical materials of one patient with nephrotic syndrome who developed PCP and CMP after oral administration of tacrolimus capsules were collected and the clinical symptoms, past medical history and outcomes, auxiliary examination, treatment plan and prognosis were analyzed; the relevant literatures were reviewed. Results: The male 47-year-old patient was admitted to hospital because of cough for 1 month, shortness of breath for 1 week and fever for 3 d. The patient had the history of diabetes mellitus and took the medication regularly , and the level of blood sugar was well controlled. At the beginning of 2018, the patient received renal biopsy due to edema of the lower extremities and was diagnosed as stage II membranous nephropathy accompanying with mild mesangial proliferative diabetic nephropathy; the patient was orally administrated with glucocorticoid. In July 2018, the patient was diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome and stage II membranous nephropathy, and had been orally administrated with tacrolimus capsules after discharge. After admission, the patient developed acute respiratory distress syndrome rapidly; the multiple exudation and nodular foci of both lungs were found on the chest imaging, and the infectious lesions were considered. The IgM antibody and IgG antibody of CMV of the patient were both positive. The high throughput gene detection results of the infection pathogens in blood showed Pneumocystis jiroveci of Pneumocystis and human herpesvirus 5 (HHV-5). PCP complicated with CMP was diagnosed definitively. The patient was treated with sulfamethoxazole combined with ganciclovir and noninvasive ventilation. The patient was discharged after the condition was improved. Conclusion: The patient with low immunity should be alert to the mixed infection of PCP and CMP if he develops rapidly progressive hypoxemia.

Objective:To test whether the constructed intervention model of advance care planning (ACP) for patients with advanced cancer can be successfully implemented and the preliminary intervention effect, which provides reference for empirical research.Methods:32 cases of advanced cancer patients and 25 cases of their families at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zhuhai were selected. The patients were subdivided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the experimental group adopted the intervention model of "VIP for future care" on the basis of customary nursing. We measured the main outcome indicators: enrollment rate, consent rate, completion rate and loss of follow-up rate and secondary outcome indicators: decision-making certainty, end-of-life care preference and post-intervention satisfaction of patients and their families, within 1 week and 1 month after intervention.Results:The enrollment rate, consent rate and loss of follow-up rate were 74.6% (206/276), 36.9% (76/151)and 15.6% (5/32), respectively. After intervention, the completion rates of the experimental group and the control group were 16/16 and 15/16 within one week, and 14/16 and 13/16 within one month. All of the family members were conducted during the follow-up period. The intervention mode of "VIP for future care" had a statistically significant difference in decision-making certainty between the two groups of patients ( β=0.63, 95% CI 0.08-1.18, P<0.05), no statistically significant difference in end-of-life care preference between the two groups of patients and their families ( P>0.05), and had a statistically significant difference in "whether to recommend this project to others" between the two groups ( χ2 value was 4.167 , P<0.05). Conclusions:On the premise of sufficient preparation, the "VIP for future care" intervention mode can be successfully implemented in advanced cancer patients in mainland China, can improve the decision-making certainty of patients and the satisfaction of patients and their families, and it is recommended. And should be applied to ACP intervention for patients with advanced cancer.

Objective:To analyze the status and influencing factors of empathy fatigue in hospice nurses based on ABC-X model (A: stressor event; B:resources available to a family; C: family sperceptions of the stressor; X: likelihood of crisis), so as to provide a reliable basis for developing comprehensive intervention strategies.Methods:A total of 325 nurses engaged in hospice care in China from April 2022 to June 2022 were selected by convenient sampling method. The influencing factors of empathy fatigue of hospice care nurses were analyzed by ABC-X model (working environment, resilience and coping style). The hospice care nurses were investigated by self-made general questionnaire, Chinese version of Empathy Fatigue Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, Coping Style Resilience Scale and Nursing Work Environment Scale. The statistical analysis was performed by SPSS.26.0 statistical software.Results:There were 316 females and 9 males with age of (33.0 ± 7.9) years old. The total score of empathy fatigue in 325 hospice nurses was (91.16 ± 9.60) points, the scores of empathy satisfaction, ocupational burnout and secondary traumatic stress were (31.35 ± 6.01), (28.43 ± 5.86), (31.38 ± 5.76) points respectively. The scores of positive coping style, negative coping style, psychological resilience and nursing working environment were (37.46 ± 5.69), (21.28 ± 6.90), (89.84 ± 16.46), (117.13 ± 19.95) points respectively. The negative predictive factor for empathy satisfaction among nurses with the professional title of palliative care ( t=-4.22, P<0.05), and the positive predictive factors for simple coping strategies, psychological resilience, and nursing work environment ( t=4.52, 3.05, 9.03, all P<0.05), could explain 56.7% of the total variation. Psychological resilience, simplified coping strategies, nursing work environment were negative predictive factors for occupational burnout among hospice nurses ( t=-6.93, -3.54, -2.51, all P<0.05), while work nature was a positive predictive factor ( t=2.36, P<0.05), which could explain 49.4% of the total variation. Simplified coping strategies, psychological resilience, and nursing work environment were all negative predictors of secondary traumatic stress in hospice nurses ( t=-5.40, -3.25, -5.95, all P<0.05), which could explain 48.8% of the total variation. Conclusions:Based on the ABC-X model, it is found that the empathic fatigue of hospice nurses is mainly affected by the nursing work environment, mental resilience and coping styles. It is necessary for nursing managers to actively take measures to improve the working environment and coping styles of nurses, enhance their mental resilience and reduce their empathic fatigue.

Objective To explore the fluctuation characteristics of long-term doctor's order workload in pharmacy intravenous admixture services (PIVAS) and build a daily workload fluctuation prediction model and provide reference for the adjustment of PIVAS work mode. Methods Daily workload data of long-term doctor’s orders from PIVAS in the East Campus of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University from July 2020 to June 2021 were selected , and the time series analysis method was used to analyze the workload fluctuation characteristics and a prediction model was established. The accuracy of the model was verified by fitting parameters and prediction results. Results The fluctuation of PIVAS long-term doctor's daily workload data had the characteristics of periodicity, short-term slow rise and irregular variation. The Winters multiplier model was used to fit the series with R2 = 0.777, the significance value of Ljung-Box statistic value (P value) was 0.060, and the mean absolute error percentage between the fitted and actual values was 4.45%, indicating that the model fitting accuracy was high. The average relative deviation between the predicted and actual results was 3.81%, indicating that the model prediction was effective. Conclusion The model constructed in this study could be used for the analysis and prediction of long-term doctor's orders workload of PIVAS. However, because the workload of doctor's orders has fluctuations such as periodicity and irregular changes, it is necessary to adjust the working model according to the fluctuation characteristics of the workload and the prediction results to ensure the efficient operation of PIVAS.

Objective To investigate the infection of Chlamydia pneumoniae and mycoplasma pneumoniae in adults and their association with atherosclerosis,and to provide theoretical guidance for the prevention of such diseases. Methods A case-control study was used to collect 362 patients who were diagnosed with atherosclerosis from January 2019 to December 2021 in Department of Sichuan Bazhong Central Hospital, and 370 cases who were admitted to the hospital during the same period of physical examination without any cardiovascular disease were selected as the control group, and whole blood samples of the two groups of study subjects were collected, and the infection of Chlamydia pneumoniae and mycoplasma pneumoniae was detected by PCR. Results The infection rate of Chlamydia pneumoniae was 35.49%, the infection rate of mycoplasma was 40.37%, and the co-infection rate was 11.37%;The infection rate of Chlamydia pneumoniae in the control group was 12.04%, the infection rate of mycoplasma was 15.83%, and the coinfection rate was 3.14%, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=10.926, P=0.023). The effects of mycoplasma, chlamydia, and co-infection on atherosclerotic patients have sex differences, mainly manifested as higher infection rates in men; In addition, the effects of mycoplasma, chlamydia, and co-infection on atherosclerosis patients varied by age, mainly in the 55-70 years age group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression results showed that Chlamydia pneumoniae infection was a risk factor for atherosclerosis (OR=1.303, 95%CI: 1.043-1.677) in the whole population, and chlamydia pneumoniae (OR=1.472, 95% CI: 1.037-1.556), mycoplasma (OR=2.003, 95%CI: 1.637-3.842) and co-infection in men (OR=1.937, 95%CI: 1.380-2.184) were risk factors for atherosclerosis, while co-infection in women (OR=1.699, 95%CI: 1.263-1.765) was a risk factor for atherosclerosis. Conclusion Chlamydia pneumoniae and mycoplasma infection are risk factors for atherosclerosis, and their impact on male groups is greater, and more attention needs to be paid to them.
