Objective:To retrieve, evaluate, and integrate the best evidence for early ambulation in patients undergoing open lumbar surgery.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in databases including UpToDate, British Medical Journal (BMJ) Best Practice, Guidelines International Network (GIN), The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN), Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO), Medlive, North American Spine Society (NASS), Best Practice in General Surgery Group from the University of Toronto, ERAS? Society, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Medline, CNKI, and Wanfang. The search included literature on early ambulation post-open lumbar surgery, such as guidelines, expert consensus, evidence summaries, recommended practices, systematic reviews, and high-quality original research. The search period was from January 1, 2014, to June 20, 2023. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the literature and extracted relevant data.Results:A total of 23 articles were included, comprising three guidelines, two systematic reviews, six expert consensus statements, seven randomized controlled trials, one quasi-experimental study, and four cohort studies. The evidence was categorized into six themes: multidisciplinary team collaboration, health education, facilitation measures, pre-activity assessment, activity content, and safety assurance, resulting in 25 evidence-based recommendations.Conclusions:This study summarizes 25 best evidence-based recommendations for early ambulation in patients undergoing open lumbar surgery. Healthcare providers are advised to apply these recommendations in clinical practice while considering the specific clinical context and individual patient differences. Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential to develop personalized early ambulation plans.

Objective:To explore the correlation between defecation disorders and diet in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. From 2021 to 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 159 patients with rectal cancer who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery at Peking University Third Hospital as participants. The General Information Questionnaire, Food Frequency Questionnaire, and Defecation Questionnaire were used for the survey.Results:The incidence of defecation disorders in 159 patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery was 74.2% (118/159), and the types of defecation disorders with high to low incidence were "frequent defecation (96/159, 60.4%) " "constipation (37/159, 23.3%) " "diarrhea (33/159, 20.8%) " and "fecal incontinence" (24/159, 15.1%). Diets were clustered into 9 categories (vegetables and fruits, carbohydrate staple foods, red meat foods, gas producing foods, dairy products, white meat foods, dessert foods, high-fat foods, and spicy and stimulating foods). Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that red meat foods and gas producing foods were the influencing factors of frequent defecation ( P<0.05), red meat foods was the influencing factor of diarrhea ( P<0.05), and carbohydrate staple foods was the influencing factor of fecal incontinence ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of defecation disorders in patients with rectal cancer after sphincter-preserving surgery is relatively high, and the intake of red meat foods, gas producing foods, and carbohydrate staple foods should be appropriately controlled. Clinical medical and nursing staff should pay close attention to the diet of elderly patients.

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.

Objective:To investigate the types and number of symptom clusters in patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer and explore the influencing factors of these symptom clusters.Methods:Totally 192 patients who underwent sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer in the Department of General Surgery at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2021 and January 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. A general information questionnaire, Post-sphincter-preserving Surgery Symptom Questionnaire, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) were used for data collection.Results:A total of 192 questionnaires were distributed, with 159 valid questionnaires returned. Exploratory factor analysis on 18 symptoms with an incidence rate of over 10.0% identified five primary symptom clusters: the psychological symptom cluster, increased defecation cluster, fatigue-pain cluster, sleep disturbance cluster, and constipation-related cluster. Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative duration was an influencing factor for the psychological symptom cluster ( P<0.05) ; preoperative radiotherapy and postoperative duration were influencing factors for the increased defecation cluster ( P<0.05) ; postoperative chemotherapy was an influencing factor for the fatigue-pain cluster ( P<0.05) ; and weekly sedentary time was an influencing factor for the sleep disturbance cluster ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Patients undergoing sphincter-preserving surgery for rectal cancer experience multiple symptom clusters. Preoperative radiotherapy and prolonged sedentary behavior increase the risk of symptom clusters, and different postoperative periods are associated with varying risks for different symptom clusters. However, physical activity levels do not appear to influence the occurrence of symptom clusters. Healthcare providers should implement targeted interventions based on the symptom clusters and their influencing factors to reduce the incidence of symptoms in patients.

Outpatient humanistic care refered to providing a full process of caring medical services to outpatients. In order to standardize the human caring services for outpatients in medical institutions, promote the comprehensive service level of outpatient services, and improve the patient′s medical experience, Chinese Association for Life Care issued the group standard of Management Norms for Human caring of Outpatients in April 2023. This standard clarified the relevant terms and definitions of human caring for outpatients, specified the basic requirements for human caring, the humanistic quality and care responsibilities of outpatient staff, the outpatient care environment and facilities, the outpatient care process and measures, and quality management. It designed standardized and personalized full process care service norms, providing references for medical institutions at all levels to promote the development of human caring for outpatients.

Background: Immunochemotherapy has demonstrated a promising efficacy for a variety of B-cell lymphoma but has limited efficacy for Epstein–Barr virus-positive (EBV +) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is refractory or relapsed to conventional chemotherapy regimens. Considering higher programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expres‑ sion in the subset of patients with DLBCL with positive EBV, we speculated that PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy may be an alternative regimen in patients with refractory/relapsed EBV + DLBCL. Methods: This retrospective study included six adult patients diagnosed with refractory EBV + DLBCL resistant to first-line immunochemotherapy regimens (R-CHOP). These patients received PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy as second-line treatment. Results: The final analysis included six patients (four men and two women (median age, 50 years; range, 39–83 years)). Four patients were diagnosed with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) + DLBCL, and two had DLBCL associated with chronic inflammation. Over a median follow-up of 20 months (range, 2–31 months), the objective response rate was 83% (5/6) and the complete remission rate was 67% (4/6). No severe immune-related adverse reactions occurred, and only a mild rash was reported, which did not necessitate the discontinuation of therapy. Conclusion The combination of PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy offers promising results as a second-line treat‑ ment for patients with refractory EBV + DLBCL that is resistant to first-line immunochemotherapy regimens. These preliminary findings warrant further investigation in larger clinical trials to validate the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic approach.

Background and purpose:Primary adrenal intravascular large B-cell lymphoma(IVLBCL)is rare and highly aggressive.Unfortunately,comprehensive and sufficient understanding of the disease is lacking.This study investigated the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of adrenal IVLBCL.Methods:Adrenal IVLBCL cases diagnosed from 2012 to 2023 were collected from Department of Pathology,Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.The clinical and histopathological features,immunophenotype,treatment and prognosis were analyzed.The molecular genetic characteristics were detected using next-generation sequencing(NGS).This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center(Ethics number:050432-4-2307E).Results:All of the 5 patients were male,with median age 52 years(ranged 50-82 years).Two cases had low-grade fever,1 case had abdominal pain,1 case was found by physical examination,and the information of the remaining one was unknown.Peripheral blood test showed elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase in 2 cases and adrenal dysfunction in 2 cases.On initial diagnosis,imaging tests displayed adrenal enlargement or masses with increased fluorodeoxyglucose(FDG)uptake.Bilateral adrenal glands were involved in 4 cases and only the right adrenal gland was involved in the other case.Morphologically,large atypical lymphocytes were confined to blood vessels,and fibrinous necrosis was observed in some cases.Immunohistochemical study revealed that CD20 was positive in all cases.Ki-67 proliferation index was high,all above 80%.80%(4/5)of the cases were of non-germinal-center B-cell-like(non-GCB)phenotype,100%(4/4)of the cases had MYC/BCL2 double expression.Endothelial cell markers staining indicated that most of the tumor cells were confined within the blood vessels in all cases.Follow-up data were available in 3 patients.One patient who underwent only surgical resection died 5 months after diagnosis,one achieved complete remission after surgery plus R-CHOP,and the other diagnosed by biopsy achieved a partial remission after R-CHOP.The 1-year overall survival rate was 66.7%,and overall survival was 5-87 months.NGS testing in 1 case showed missense mutations in MYD88 V217F,TP53,CDH1,ARID1B,MSH3,MLH3,PTPRK,CD22 and FLCN.Conclusion:Adrenal IVLBCL is rare and tends to occur in the middle-aged and elderly male.The majority of our patients were non-GCB phenotype,often accompanied by MYC/BCL2 double expression,and MYD88 non-L265P mutation was detected.Early diagnosis of adrenal IVLBCL is difficult due to its diverse clinical symptoms and lack of specificity.It is of great importance to accumulate more cases and further understand the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of this rare disease,which might not only help with early diagnosis,timely treatment and improvement of prognosis,but also provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the pathogenesis and development of the disease and exploring therapeutic targets.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage(PTGBD)in treatment of high-risk acute cholecystitis(AC)patients.Methods CT-guided PTGBD was performed in 29 patients with high-risk AC.The therapeutic results were evaluated by comparing the preoperation and postoperation clinical manifestations and laboratory results.Results The implantation of PTGBD catheter was successfully accomplished with single procedure in all patients.Complica-tions occurred in 2 cases,including abdominal pain in 1 case and a small amount of gallbladder bleeding in 1 case,and the incidence of complications was 6.9%.Compared with preoperation,the pain number rating scale(NRS)score,temperature(T),white blood cell count(WBC),C-reactive protein(CRP),total bilirubin(TBIL),alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)were significantly decreased 3 days after PTGBD(P<0.001).Except for 1 case of choledocholithiasis with continuous abdominal pain after PTGBD,the postoperation symptoms of the other patients were significantly relieved.Followed up for 3 months,2 cases of calculous AC recurred after PTGBD,and the recurrence rate of cholecystitis was 25.0%.Conclusion For high-risk AC,the CT-guided PTGBD is a safe and effective treatment method,and it can remarkably relieve the clinical symptoms.Patients with calculous AC have higher risk of recurrence and might benefit from definitive cholecystectomy.
