Objective:To investigate the current situation of nursing information ability of head nurses in different grades of hospitals in Jiaozuo City, and analyze its influencing variables based on the random forest model, so as to provide evidence-based basis for the construction of nursing information ability improvement strategies and training programs for head nurses.Methods:From August to September 2024, the head nurses of 20 hospitals of different grades were selected by cluster sampling method in Jiaozuo City as the research subjects. General Data Questionnaire and Nursing Information Ability Scale of Head Nurses were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. Random forest model was used to evaluate the importance of variables, lasso regression analysis was applied to complete the variable screening, and the influencing factors of nursing information ability of head nurses were explored through stepwise multiple linear regression analysis.Results:A total of 305 questionnaires were ultimately collected, of which 297 were valid, the effective rate was 97.38%. Out of 297 head nurses, 6 were male and 291 were female; 49 individuals aged 20-29 years old, 127 individuals aged 30-39 years old, 92 individuals aged 40-49 years old, and 29 individuals aged ≥ 50 years old. The total score of nursing information ability was (139.06 ± 24.62). Random forest model and lasso regression analysis showed that the top 6 variables in terms of importance were the number of years serving as head nurses, participation in information function development, number of academic conferences in the past three years, hospital grade, participating in information training, and chairing or participating in scientific research in the past three years. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of years serving as head nurses, participating in information training, participating in information function development and number of academic conferences in the past three years had significant effects on nursing information ability of head nurses (t values were -4.66 to 3.81, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The nursing information ability of head nurses in Jiaozuo city is in the middle level, and the nursing information ability of head nurses in different grades of hospitals is different. It is suggested to construct a stepped information ability continuing education framework and a research-information ability coupling development mechanism, and incorporate nursing information ability into the necessary conditions for the appointment of nursing management posts, so as to realize the balanced development of nursing information management ability and the continuous iteration of nursing manager information ability.

Turning to critical illness is a common stage of various diseases and injuries before death. Patients usually have complex health conditions, while the treatment process involves a wide range of content, along with high requirements for doctor′s professionalism and multi-specialty teamwork, as well as a great demand for time-sensitive treatments. However, this is not matched with critical care professionals and the current state of medical care in China. Telemedicine, which shortens the distance of medical professionals and the gap of disease diagnosis and treatments in various regions through electronic information, can effectively solve the current problem. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a standardized, high-quality visualization telemedicine round system .Therefore, experts have been organized to search domestic and foreign literature on telemedicine round for critically ill patients and to form this consensus based on clinical experiences so as to further improve the level of critical care treatments in regions.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and identification of the independent risk factors for disease progression in patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. A total of 323 cases with PBC diagnosed in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from January 2013 to June 2023 (125 patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive and 198 patients with anti-gp210 antibody-negative) were included. Baseline and follow-up data were collected. The independent sample t-test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for comparison between groups of continuous data. The χ2 test was used to compare the data between groups for the count data. The Pearson test was used for correlation analysis between continuous variables. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the disease progression-free survival rate. The Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk factors for disease progression. Results:The male proportion (11.2% vs. 5.1%, P=0.040) and IgM level [3.29(1.88, 4.80) g/L vs. 2.56(1.44, 3.87) g/L, P=0.019] were significantly higher in patients with PBC with positive anti-gp210 antibodies than those of the negative group. Histopathological analysis showed that the Scheuer score [1(0,3) vs. 0(0,2)], bile duct inflammation [(2(1,3) vs. 1(1,2)] and bile duct reaction score [(2(1,3) vs. 1(1,2)] were higher in the positive group than those of the negative group ( P<0.05), and the maturity of the tertiary lymphoid structure was higher ( P=0.011). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the 5-year disease-free survival rate was significantly lower in patients with positive anti-gp210 antibodies than that of the negative group (55.8% vs. 79.7%, P=0.006) at a median follow-up of 3(2,6) years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that γ-glutamyl transferase [ HR=1.002 (95% CI: 1.000~1.003)] and platelet count [ HR=0.993 (95% CI: 0.988~0.999)] were the independent influencing factors for disease progression in patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive PBC ( P=0.002, 0.017). Conclusion:Patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive PBC have more severe clinical pathological manifestations and a higher risk of disease progression. Higher levels of γ-glutamyl transferase and lower platelet counts during the first visit are independent risk factors for disease progression in patients with anti-gp210 antibody-positive PBC, which can be used as dynamic monitoring indicators for this population, suggesting the need for early intensive intervention.

Objective:To explore the short-term clinical effects of deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).Methods:A prospective exploratory study was conducted on the treatment of AD patients using the cervical deep lymph node-venous anastomosis technique in Scar and Wound Treatment Department, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from September to October 2024. The patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound to locate deep cervical lymph nodes and the external jugular vein. Under general anesthesia, bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses were performed. Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography was conducted via subcutaneous injection behind the ear to visualize lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. After making a skin incision along the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the external jugular vein, internal jugular veins, and associated lymph nodes were exposed. Adjacent veins were selected for anastomosis of lymph node. Using microsurgical techniques, end-to-side or end-to-end anastomosis was completed for lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Preoperative assessments included the mini-mental state examination (MMSE, a higher score indicates better cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog, a higher score indicates greater impairment of cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease cooperative study scale for activities of daily living (ADCS-ADL, a higher score indicates better ability to perform daily activity), and neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI, a higher score indicates more severe behavioral and emotional symptom). Postoperative follow-up included the same scales to observe changes in cognitive function, activities of daily living, and emotional communication.Results:Four patients (1 male, 3 females, aged 58-79 years) with AD were included. All were diagnosed based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. All patients successfully underwent bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses. On average, 4.3 (2-7 per person) anastomoses were performed per patient. Surgical procedures lasted an average of 6.5 h (5.5-8.5 h) with minimal blood loss (less than 50 ml). Patients resumed normal activity within 6 hours postoperatively and were discharged after an average of 4.1 d (3.5-5.0 d). Postoperative complications included one case each of aspiration pneumonia, lower limb venous thrombosis, and transient delirium, all of whom resolved without long-term effects. Clinical symptoms, including memory decline, mood swings, and anxiety, showed varying degrees of improvement. Patients reported enhanced quality of life, emotional stability, and social engagement, confirming the procedure’s safety and potential cognitive benefits. At one month postoperatively, the MMSE scores of the four patients increased by an average of 0.8 points compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, the two patients who completed the ADAS-Cog assessments showed a decrease in their scores (reduced by 1.0 points and 11.3 points, respectively, compared to preoperative scores), indicating a certain degree of improvement in cognitive function during this period. The ADCS-ADL and NPI scores of four patients varied significantly, without showing any clear pattern.Conclusion:Lymphovenous anastomosis of the deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis may provide a new surgical intervention approach for AD, but further large-scale studies and long-term follow-up are needed to validate its safety and effectiveness.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the splenic vessel-oriented anatomical plane priority strategy in Da Vinci robotic Kimura distal pancreatectomy.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 26 patients who underwent robotic-assisted distal pancreatectomy at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital from January 2019 to September 2024. The cohort included 7 male and 19 female patients, aged (49.3±16.7) years. Surgical outcomes, including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications, and hospital stay, were analyzed, and surgical techniques were summarized.Results:All 26 patients successfully completed the surgery. Pathological diagnoses included 5 cases of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, 5 serous cystadenomas, 1 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, 6 solid pseudopapillary neoplasms, 4 mucinous cystic neoplasms, and 5 neuroendocrine tumors. The maximum tumor diameter was (2.3±1.1) cm, and the operative time was (183.2±77.4) min. The spleen preservation rate was 100% (26/26). Intraoperative blood loss was 50.0 (17.5, 125) ml, and postoperative hospital stay was (10.1±3.7) d. No Clavien-Dindo grade III or higher complications occurred. The post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) rate was 53.8% (14/26), including 38.5% (10/26) biochemical leak and 15.3% (4/26) grade B POPF, with no grade C POPF.Conclusion:The splenic vessel-oriented anatomical plane priority strategy in robotic-assisted spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (Kimura technique) is safe and feasible, significantly improving the spleen preservation rate.

Menstrual migraine is a specific subtype of migraine unique to women,closely related to the menstrual cycle,characterized by periodic and intractable headaches,often accompanied by nausea,vomiting or photophobia and phonophobia,which seriously affects life and has a high degree of disability.Its pathogenesis is complex,involving multi-dimensional regulation such as estrogen fluctuations,neurovascular responses and genetic and environmental factors,but the specific mechanism has not been fully clarified.In recent years,with the increasing social attention to women's health,the clinical research demand for menstrual migraine has become increasingly urgent.Currently,modern medicine can alleviate symptoms through acute drug intervention(such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,triptans)and preventive treatment(such as beta-blockers,CGRP antagonists),but there are problems such as drug dependence and insufficient individualization.Traditional Chinese medicine,based on the"holistic concept"and"syndrome differentiation and treatment"theory,regulates the balance of qi,blood,yin and yang through therapies such as traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture,showing unique advantages in improving symptoms and preventing recurrence.The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can optimize the therapeutic effect and reduce side effects through synergistic effects,but the full-cycle prevention and treatment strategy still needs further exploration.This article systematically reviews the pathogenesis and research progress of treatment of menstrual migraine in traditional Chinese and Western medicine,emphasizes the interaction between hormone fluctuations and neurovascular responses,and proposes an individualized intervention plan based on the menstrual cycle,providing new ideas for clinical practice and reference directions for future research.
