Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of children with frequently relapsing/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (FRNS/SDNS) and to analyze the factors influencing the efficacy.Methods:Case series study.The clinical data of children with FRNS/SDNS who received B-cell-guided RTX (single dose: 375 mg/m 2, maximum dose: 500 mg, one additional dose when peripheral blood CD19 + B lymphocytes ≥0.01) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively collected.The frequency of relapse and cumulative dose of glucocorticoids before and after RTX treatment were compared.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze relapse-free survival rate and FRNS/SDNS-free survival rate after RTX treatment.The influencing factors of relapse were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results:Totally 47 children were enrolled, including 35 males and 12 females; the age of first application of RTX was 10.2 (6.9, 13.0) years; 33 children had used one type of immunosuppressant before, and 14 children had used two or more types of immunosuppressant before; the dose of RTX treatment was 3.0 (2.0, 3.0). The frequency of relapse[0(0, 0.55) times/year vs.1.62 (1.09, 2.40) times/year] and cumulative dose of glucocorticoids[0.12 (0.05, 0.21) mg/(kg·d) vs.0.40 (0.20, 0.56) mg/(kg·d)] after RTX treatment significantly decreased compared with previous immunosuppressive treatment ( Z=-5.56, -5.54, all P<0.001). The relapse-free survival rates at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after treatment were 80.9%, 72.3%, 68.1% and 68.1%, respectively, and the FRNS/SDNS-free survival rates were 93.6%, 89.4%, 89.4% and 89.4%, respectively.Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the high frequency of relapse during previous immunosuppressive therapy was a risk factor for relapse after RTX treatment ( P<0.05). Of the 14 children who relapsed, 6 occurred in children whose CD19 + B lymphocytes<0.01, and the frequency of relapse after RTX treatment was significantly higher than those whose CD19 + B lymphocytes≥0.01 ( Z=-2.84, P=0.005). No severe adverse reactions occurred during RTX treatment and follow-up. Conclusions:The B-cell-guided RTX is effective and safe in the treatment of FRNS/SDNS in children.The high frequency of relapse during previous immunosuppressive therapy is a risk factor for relapse after RTX treatment, and relapse in the state of B lymphocyte depletion predicts poor outcomes of RTX treatment.

Objective:To compare the effects of different test meals on postprandial triglycerides and to optimize the standard meal composition and the blood sampling protocol for the oral fat tolerance test.Methods:This study is a prospective, open-label, randomized, cross-over trial. In March 2023, 36 volunteers were recruited in Hebei General Hospital. They underwent a health examination and oral glucose tolerance test. Twenty-six healthy volunteers(11 males and 15 females) were included in this study, with an average age of(39.08±4.56) years. Each volunteer received 75 g protein meal, 75 g fat meal, 700 kcal fixed-calorie high-fat mixed meal, and a high-fat mixed meal with energy adjusted based on 10 kcal/kg body weight. A one-week washout period of regular diet was applied before each trial. Blood was collected at fasting status and 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 hours after a meal to detect serum triglycerides, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C), glucose, and insulin. The variations of postprandial metabolic indicators over time following the consumption of different test meals were analyzed. The disparities in postprandial metabolic responses between the two types of mixed meals were compared.Results:The protein meal, fat meal, fixed-calorie high-fat mixed meal, and adjusted-calorie high-fat mixed meal resulted in postprandial triglyceride increases of 22.45%, 115.40%, 77.14%, and 63.63%, and insulin increase of 560.43%, 85.69%, 554.18%, and 598.97%, respectively, and with reductions in total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C ranging from 5.64%-21.81%, respectively. The blood glucose changed slightly. Changes in metabolic indicators mainly occured within 4 hours. The comparison of the characteristics of postprandial triglycerides between the two high-fat mixed meals showed no statistically significant differences( P>0.05). Conclusion:A standardize protocol with a 700 kcal fixed-calorie high-fat mixed meal as test meal, and blood lipid levels measured at fasting and at 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours after consumption, can serve as an optimized approach for oral fat tolerance test.

Objective:To develop a Cognitive Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation and conduct reliability and validity tests in community-dwelling patients with SCI.Methods:Based on expectation value theory, social cognition theory, and goal setting theory, a Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation was developed through literature review, group discussions, patient trials, and expert verification. From February to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 231 community-dwelling patients with SCI as research subjects, including 67 community-dwelling patients with SCI who participated in rehabilitation training at Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center and 164 patients with SCI in the "Hope Home" WeChat group of Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Research subjects were surveyed using the Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version), 9-item depression scale of Patient Health Questionnaire, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimension-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and general information questionnaire. SPSS 16.0 software and Amos 21.0 software were used for correlation analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version) included two primary dimensions, eight secondary dimensions, and 24 items. The trial showed good results among patients with SCI and their caregivers, and experts generally agreed. Exploratory factor analysis found that the scale were divided into recognition dimension and understanding dimension. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.98, the correlation coefficient between each item and its corresponding dimension was 0.75 to 0.88, and our results indicated good test-retest reliability. Correlation analysis showed that patient anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05), and self-efficacy, quality of life were positively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation is scientific and feasible, with good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the rehabilitation cognition of community-dwelling patients with SCI.

Objective To identify the factors associated with frailty in lung transplant patients by a meta-analysis.Methods Computerized search was performed for studies on the influencing factors of frailty in lung transplant patients in the CNKI,WanFangData,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Elsevier ScienceDirect and CINAHL databases.The search was conducted from the time of database construction to November 2023.Literature screening,quality assessment,and data extraction were performed independently by 2 investigators,and Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results 10 cohort studies,including 1 999 patients,were finally included,and 13 influencing factors were extracted,including advanced age(OR=1.05),female(OR=2.50),BMI(OR=0.38),diagnosis of primary pulmonary disease(OR=2.90),6MWD(OR=0.34),and lung allocation score(OR=0.69),FVC(OR=0.60),pre-transplant frailty(OR=0.81),hypoproteinemia(OR=4.12),hemoglobin(OR=0.50),anemia(OR=4.37),length of ICU stay(OR=1.24),and total length of stay(OR=1.05).Short Physical Performance Battery is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with an incidence of frailty in 24％before transplantation and 50％in post-transplantation.Fried Frailty Phenotype is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with a pre-transplant frailty incidence of 30％.Conclusion There are many factors involved in the incidence of frailty in lung transplant patients,and nursing staff should dynamically evaluate the frailty of lung transplant patients,and give individualized and precise interventions in combination with a multidisciplinary model to improve or delay the progression of frailty.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remote interventions with digital health technologies in lung transplant patients.Methods Databases,including CKNI,Wangfang,VIP,CMB,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Scopus and BMJ Best Practice were searched from their inception to July 2023.There were 2 researchers who independently screened and extracted the literature,and then evaluated quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.Results 10 studies with 1 262 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional intervention,remote intervention based on digital health technology could improve self-monitoring compliance of lung transplant patients[0R=0.64,95％CI(0.46,0.88),P=0.006],improve quality of life including mental health status[OR=3.08,95％CI(0.41,5.74),P=0.020]and physical health status[OR=3.81,95％CI(1.19,6.43),P=0.004].In terms of the intervention forms,the application-based remote intervention had better self-monitoring compliance,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.007).However,in terms of the comparison of readmission rate[OR=1.73,95％CI(0.98,3.04),P=0.060],anxiety[OR=-0.12,95％CI(-1.36,1.11),P=0.850],and depression[OR=0.62,95％CI(-0.80,2.03),P=0.390],the effect of intervention was unclear.Conclusion Remote intervention based on digital health technology can improve self-monitoring compliance and quality of life in lung transplant patients;applications are the optimal form of intervention.Limited by the quality and quantity of included studies and the heterogeneity of study results,more high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effects of digital health technology on readmission rates,anxiety and depression of lung transplant patients.

To summarize the continued nursing management of a patient with combined liver-lung transplantation.Nursing points:regular review and joint remote guidance;dynamic optimization of the rehabilitation program;strict control of blood concentration of Tacrolimus;the strengthening of infection prevention and control;standardized management of post-transplant diabetes mellitus;active interventions in osteoporosis;helping patients to self-empower and achieve all-round rehabilitation.In 2 years and 8 months after surgery,the follow-up showed that the patient had normal transplant organ function and good quality of life.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of post-transplant diabetes mellitus(PTDM)in adult lung transplant recipients.Methods Conducting a convenience sampling method,we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of lung transplant recipients from January 2020 to December 2022 at a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.According to the PTDM diagnostic criteria,lung transplant recipients are divided into a PTDM group and a non-PTDM group.The incidence rate of PTDM is calculated,and the influencing factors for PTDM occurrence are analyzed using both univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods.Results A total of 140 patients were included in this study,and 54 lung transplant recipients developed PTDM within 6 months,with an incidence of 38.57％.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age,gender,BMI,smoking history,pre-operative glycated albumin,pre-operative fasting blood glucose,early post-operative blood glucose and pre-operative creatinine between the 2 groups(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that gender(OR=5.283),BMI(OR=6.122),pre-operative glycated albumin(OR=1.330),and early post-operative blood glucose(0R=1.444)were the influencing factors.Conclusion Lung transplant recipients who were male,BMI ≥24.0,with high levels of glycated albumin before surgery,and high blood sugar early after surgery had a higher risk of developing PTDM.Clinical nurses can formulate relevant nursing measures according to the influencing factors to prevent the occurrence of PTDM.
