Objective To discuss the frequency of ventilator pipe replacement in ICU ward for reducing the frequency of VAP occurrence caused by bacterial colonization in ventilator-line. Methods 30 patients hospitalized to ICU ward from Janurary,2008 to June, 2009 who had mechanical-ventilation above 48h were randomly divided into group A, B and C with 30 patients in each group, then bacteria culture and strain analysis were employed for the pipeline sample of ventilator inspiratory side at the time point to be use and used mechanical ventilation for 1 day, 3 days and 7 days. Results There was no bacteria grew after ventilator-line sterilization, and positive ratio of bacterial culture in 1d, 3d and 7d were 46.66%,53.33% and 100.00%, respectively. Conclusions The frequency of ventilator pipe replacement should be shortened in patients with abdominal infection, to replace every 3 days is suitable in ICU where infectious patients gathered.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of hypoglycemia in patients undergoing colonoscopy and to construct a risk prediction model and evaluate the model.Methods A total of 528 patients who underwent colonoscopy were selected by the convenience sampling method from the gastroenterology department of a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from March 2022 to August 2022.Their general information,laboratory indicators and operation-related data were collected.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of hypoglycemia in patients with colonoscopy for risk prediction model construction,and its prediction effect was evaluated by drawing a nomogram.Results Hypoglycemia occurred in 66 of 528 patients,with an incidence of 12.50%.The risk factors finally in the risk prediction model in Logistic regression were drinking history,long fasting time after operation,polyethylene glycol(PEG)-electrolyte solutions>3 L,low quality of bowel preparation.The model passed Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test x2=10.158(P=0.200).The area under the ROC curve was 0.829,while the cut-off was 0.575,with sensitivity of 92.90%and specificity of 64.60%.Conclusion Patients undergoing colonoscopy have a higher risk of hypoglycemia.Patients with a history of drinking,longer fasting after surgery,more than 3 L of PEG-electrolyte solutions,and low quality of bowel preparation were more likely to develop hypoglycemia.The established risk prediction model has a good effect,providing the reference for screening high-risk group of hypoglycemia and taking preventive and protective measures.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound for thyroid nodules with a spoke-wheel blood flow pattern.Methods The clinical data of the patients with thyroid nodules presenting a spoke-wheel blood flow pattern examined by ultrasound were collected,and the gray-scale ultrasound features of the nodules were recorded.The diagnostic performance of the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System by American College of Radiology(ACR TI-RADS),Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System(C-TIRADS),and combined specific indicators for the thyroid nodules with a spoke-wheel blood flow pattern was evaluated by comparison with the pathological results,which was regarded as the gold standard.Results A total of 64 patients with thyroid nodules were finally included,including 47 patients with malignant nodules and 17 patients with benign nodules.In addition to the general ultrasound features,central scar mostly appeared in malignant nodules(x2=5.968,P=0.015),while central coarse calcification was more common in benign nodules(x2=10.899,P=0.001).After the combination of central scar and central gross calcification,the diagnostic performance of ACR TI-RADS and C-TIRADS was improved(both P<0.001).Conclusions When the thyroid nodule shows a spoke-wheel blood flow pattern,one should be cautious of the possibility of malignancy.Combining central scar and central coarse calcification can improve the accuracy of ultrasonic diagnosis.

Wilson's disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder with a complex pathogenesis involving multiple systems, multiple visceral organs, and the complex copper homeostasis regulation system within the body. The liver is the most common organ for copper deposition, and liver injury is the earliest and most common manifestation of WD; therefore, it is important to find an ideal animal model for WD research. By summarizing the animal models of WD commonly used in the world, this article systematically summarizes the background, liver and nervous manifestations, and application of different models and compares the characteristics of different animal models, so as to provide a reference for the application of various animal models of WD.

ObjectiveTo construct a macro-evaluation tool for dampness syndrome (DS) animal model, which will provide a basis for experimental research on dampness syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). MethodsConceptual framework of this study was clarified through discussions within the core working group, and dimensions of the evaluation of the animal model of DS were identified according to TCM principles. We searched CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and SinoMed databases from the inception to June 30th, 2023, on experiments involving dampness syndrome animals to create a pool of items about DS animal models. The core items were selected and extracted for factor analysis and cluster analysis. An expert importance rating questionnaire was developed based on the results of the literature review, analyzing the distribution of item scores, importance averages, and coefficient of variation. Through a comprehensive analysis of literature, expert importance scoring, and specific expert opinions, items that did not meet anyone of the criteria of average importance rating ≥2.04, coefficient of variation ≤30%, or literature eva-luation frequency ≥2% were removed, thereafter, the macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model was preliminarily constructed. ResultsSpirit and body state, autonomic activity state, body surface characteristics, diet, urination and defecation, tongue manifestation, and motor behavior assessment were constructed as the seven dimensions in the evaluation of DS animal model. A total of 348 papers about animal experiments were included and analyzed, resulting in a saturated pool of 72 items, which was refined to 38 core items of DS animal models. Factor analysis obtained 16 common factors, which were further clustered into two categories, named dampness transforming from heat syndrome and dampness transforming from cold syndrome. The expert importance scoring showed that the Kendall harmony coefficient was 0.359 (P<0.05) indicating a high level of agreement, coordination and reliability among the experts. Notably, 50% or more of the experts considered the items thick and greasy tongue coating, unclean perianal area, loose stools, lethargy, unformed stools, and listless expression as very important. The median scores for all items were 2.04(1.73, 2.37), with a coefficient of variation ranging from 19.73% to 53.38%. After expert evaluation, the macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model in TCM with 33 items and corresponding criteria for assessing the formation of DS models was finally contructed. ConclusionThe Macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model in TCM is highly scientific, credible, and operable, and can be utilized in DS animal experiments after its characteristics are actually evaluated.
