Intraoperative cell salvage (IOCS) has been widely applied as an important blood conservation measure in surgical operations. However, there is currently a lack of clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors. This report aims to provide clinicians with recommendations on the use of IOCS in patients with malignant tumors based on the review and assessment of the existed evidence. Data were derived from databases such as PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Wanfang. The guideline development team formulated recommendations based on the quality of evidence, balance of benefits and harms, patient preferences, and health economic assessments. This study constructed seven major clinical questions. The main conclusions of this guideline are as follows: 1) Compared with no perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (NPABT), perioperative allogeneic blood transfusion (PABT) leads to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 2) Compared with the transfusion of allogeneic blood or no transfusion, IOCS does not lead to a more unfavorable prognosis in cancer patients (Recommended); 3) The implementation of IOCS in cancer patients is economically feasible (Recommended); 4) Leukocyte depletion filters (LDF) should be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Strongly Recommended); 5) Irradiation treatment of autologous blood to be reinfused can be used when implementing IOCS in cancer patients (Recommended); 6) A careful assessment of the condition of cancer patients (meeting indications and excluding contraindications) should be conducted before implementing IOCS (Strongly Recommended); 7) Informed consent from cancer patients should be obtained when implementing IOCS, with a thorough pre-assessment of the patient's condition and the likelihood of blood loss, adherence to standardized internally audited management procedures, meeting corresponding conditions, and obtaining corresponding qualifications (Recommended). In brief, current evidence indicates that IOCS can be implemented for some malignant tumor patients who need allogeneic blood transfusion after physician full evaluation, and LDF or irradiation should be used during the implementation process.

Objective:To understand the status of bone health literacy in middle-aged and older female breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and analyze its influencing factors using structural equation modeling.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 250 middle-aged and older breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in two tertiary hospitals in Xi'an from May to October 2024. Patients were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Bone Health Literacy Scale for Middle-Aged and Older Women, the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations among bone health literacy, perceived social support, and self-efficacy.Results:A total of 250 questionnaires were distributed, and 239 valid questionnaires were recovered, yielding an effective response rate of 95.6% (239/250). The mean score of the Bone Health Literacy Scale among the 239 patients was (39.71±8.16). Bone health literacy was positively correlated with perceived social support and self-efficacy ( P<0.01). Perceived social support directly affected bone health literacy and could also indirectly influence it through general self-efficacy, with an indirect effect value of 0.367, accounting for 45.2% of the total effect (0.367/0.812) . Conclusions:Healthcare professionals should implement effective interventions to enhance patients' perceived social support and strengthen their self-efficacy, thereby improving bone health literacy.

Medical ultrasound technology is widely used for diagnosis and therapy in clinical practice.Ultrasound probes,which are directly contact with patients,pose a potential risk of pathogen transmission.This expert consen-sus was developed by a multidisciplinary team based on international guidelines,standards in China,and the results of a national survey,aiming to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infection through standardizing reprocessing of medical ultrasound probes,and formulating consensus recommendations with the Delphi method.The consensus clarifies the reprocessing principles for three types of ultrasound probes of different infection risks:external-use ul-trasound probes,interventional percutaneous ultrasound probes,and internal-use ultrasound probes,puts forward systematic suggestions on the reprocessing standards and disinfection levels of ultrasound probe isolation covers and coupling agents,the reprocessing procedures and methods of ultrasound probes,as well as architectural layout and management of reprocessing,so as to provide a scientific prevention and control framework for ensuring ultrasound diagnosis and therapy safety.

Fracture of humeral capitellum (FHC) in children is often detected on the coronal plane of the distal humerus.It is an intra-articular fracture, often a Salter-Harris type Ⅲ epiphyseal fracture, which is extremely rare in clinical practice and accounts for only about 1% of elbow fractures in children.This type of fracture tends to extend medially involving the trochlea, so it is also known as capitellar trochlea fracture.The rarity of this fracture makes it difficult to differentiate it from other elbow fractures on X-ray, which finally leads to miss-diagnosis or misdiagnosis as epicondylar humerus fracture or intercondylar fracture, etc.Since FHC is an intra-articular and epiphyseal fracture, inappropriate treatment will results in irreversible consequences, so the diagnosis and treatment of FHC in children are challenging.Currently, there are few studies on FHC in children, and most of related studies are case reports.Therefore, the classification and treatment of FHC in children are performed based on only the experience of FHC treatment in adults.Incisional reduction and internal fixation is the preferred treatment for most FHC children, but the efficacy of this treatment lacks the support of controlled studies with a large sample size.The mechanism of injury, staging, diagnosis, treatment, postoperative rehabilitation, and complications of pediatric FHC were reviewed in this paper to improve clinicians' understanding of pediatric FHC.

Objective:To explore the cognition of medical and nursing staff on prevention and management of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), so as to provide reference for the construction of a standardized GDM prevention and management system.Methods:This study was a descriptive qualitative study. From June 2022 to November 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 22 clinical medical and nursing experts engaged in GDM management from ten Class Ⅲ Grade A general hospitals and six community health service centers in Beijing as the research subject. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data, and thematic analysis was used for data analysis.Results:Through the analysis and summarization of interview data, two themes were proposed, namely the challenges faced by GDM prevention and management (lack of standardized management system, lack of quality evaluation indicators, lack of professional medical and nursing staff, weak prevention awareness of medical and nursing staff, insufficient training), and the role of the GDM prevention management system (including the leading role of the government, responsibility subject role of hospitals, outpost role of community health service institutions, auxiliary role of society, collaborative management role of families, execution subject role of individuals) .Conclusions:GDM prevention management practices face multiple challenges. China should enhance the construction of the GDM prevention and management system, establish a quality evaluation index system, strengthen education and training for medical and nursing staff, and pay attention to the role of government, hospitals, community health service institutions, families and individuals in the GDM prevention and management system.

Objective:To explore the incidence of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer and analyze related factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From 2021 to 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 195 patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery at Peking University Third Hospital as participants. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, LARS Scale, Visual Analog Score, and Chinese version of Insomnia Severity Index.Results:A total of 195 questionnaires were distributed, and 156 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 80.00% (156/195). The incidence of LARS in 156 rectal cancer patients with sphincter-preserving surgery was 36.54% (57/156), and the incidence of severe LARS was 15.38% (24/156). Binomial Logistic regression analyses showed that gender ( OR=0.445, P=0.034) and preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ( OR=6.343, P<0.01) were influencing factors for the occurrence of LARS in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery. Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy ( OR=3.322, P=0.047) and intraoperative prophylactic stoma ( OR=4.855, P=0.035) were influencing factors for severe LARS. LARS score was positively correlated with anxiety score ( r=0.238, P=0.003) and total insomnia score ( r=0.168, P=0.036) in patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery. Conclusions:Preoperative neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is an independent risk factor for postoperative LARS and severe LARS in rectal cancer patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery. LARS is correlated with patients' anxiety and insomnia.
