Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by impaired neuromuscular transmission. Thymectomy is one of the therapeutic options for acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive myasthenia gravis patients. The quality of perioperative care is directly associated with surgical safety and patient outcomes. However, there is currently a lack of specialized nursing consensus or guidelines specifically addressing the care of these patients domestically or internationally. To promote the standardization and normalization of perioperative nursing care for myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy and to ensure treatment efficacy, a panel of 57 experts from relevant fields was convened. Based on evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience, discussions were held on various aspects including condition assessment, nutritional support, medication management, and airway care, resulting in a consensus with 18 final recommendations by using the Delphi method through two rounds of expert consultation. This consensus aims to provide a scientific reference for the perioperative nursing care of myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy.

ObjectiveTo unveil the mechanism of Jianpi Huogu prescription (JPHGP) in ameliorating the dyslipidemia of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femur head (SONFH) by oxylipidomics combined with transcriptomics. MethodsSixty SD rats were assigned into normal, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.5, 5, 10 g·kg-1, respectively) JPHGP, and Jiangushengwan (1.53 g·kg-1) groups. Lipopolysaccharide was injected into the tail vein at a dose of 20 μg·kg-1 on days 1 and 2, and methylprednisolone sodium succinate was injected at a dose of 40 mg·kg-1 into the buttock muscle on days 3 to 5. The normal group received an equal volume of normal saline. Drug administration by gavage began 4 weeks after the last injection, and samples were taken after administration for 8 weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was conducted to reveal the histopathological changes of the femoral head, and the number of adipocytes, the rate of empty bone lacunae, and the trabecular area were calculated. Micro-computed tomography was used for revealing the histological and histomorphometrical changes of the femoral head. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), and apolipoprotein B (ApoB). At the same time, the femoral head was collected for oxylipidomic and transcriptomic detection. The differential metabolites and differential genes were enriched and analyzed, and the target genes regulating lipid metabolism were predicted. The predicted target proteins were further verified by molecular docking, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group showcased thinning of the femoral head, trabecular fracture, karyopyknosis, subchondral cystic degeneration, increases in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae (P<0.01), a reduction in the trabecular area (P<0.01), decreases in BMD, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BV/TV, and increases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the JPHGP groups showed no obvious thinning of the femoral head or subchondroidal cystic degeneration. The high- and medium-dose JPHGP groups presented declines in the number of adipocytes and the rate of empty bone lacunae, an increase in the trabecular area (P<0.05, P<0.01), rises in BMD, Tb.Th, Tb.N, and BV/TV, and decreases in Tb.Sp and BS/BV (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the normal group, the model group showcased raised serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and ApoB and lowered serum levels of HDL and ApoA1 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the JPHGP groups had lowered serum levels of TG, TC, LDL, and ApoB (P<0.05, P<0.01) and a risen serum level of ApoA1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the serum level of HDL in the high-dose JPHGP group increased (P<0.01). A total of 19 different metabolites of disease set and drug set were screened out by oxylipidomics of the femoral head, and 119 core genes with restored expression were detected by transcriptomics. The enriched pathways were mainly concentrated in inflammation, lipids, apoptosis, and osteoclast differentiation. Molecular docking, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot results showed that compared with the normal group, the model group displayed increased content of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) in the femoral head (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, medium- and high-dose JPHGP reduced the content of 5-LO and PPARγ (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionJPHGP can restore the levels of oxidized lipid metabolites by regulating the 5-LO-PPARγ axis to treat SONFH in rats. Relevant studies provide experimental evidence for the efficacy mechanism of JPHGP in the treatment of SONFH.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the distribution characteristics of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) in the lungs during the early stage of severe burns and the mechanism of neutrophil elastase (NE) promoting lung injury.
METHODS:
6-8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were selected for the experiments. A 30% total body surface area (TBSA) III degree burn mouse model was established (severe burn group); the Sham-injury group was treated with 37 centigrade water. In the sodium sivelestat intervention group (SV intervention group), NE competitive inhibitor, sivelestat, 100 mg/kg, was injected via tail vein immediately after injury, while other groups received an equal volume of saline. Ten mice were harvested from each group to observe survival for 72 hours. Respiratory function tests were tested at 0 (immediate), 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours after molding. hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and immunohistochemical staining were used to observe lung tissue structure, inflammatory changes and PMN infiltration. The PMN absolute count in mice lung tissue was detected buy flow cytometry. At 6, 12, and 24 hours after molding, PMN counts and the concentration of NE [enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)] in peripheral blood plasma, lung tissue, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected.
RESULTS:
(1) HE staining results showed that compared with the Sham-injury group, the lungs of mice in the severe burn group showed inflammatory changes and PMN infiltration, with more significant changes at 6 hours. Immunohistochemistry results also confirmed that the expression of NE protein released from PMN significantly increased after 6 hours of severe burn injury [(3.79±0.62)% vs. (0.18±0.05)%, t = 11.56, P < 0.01]. (2) Compared with the Sham-injury group, the number of PMN and the concentration of NE in the peripheral blood and lung tissues in the severe burn group were significantly increased (F values were 13.709, 55.350 and 29.890, 13.286, respectively, all P < 0.01), peaking at 6 hours [plasma PMN count (×109/L): 2.92±1.01 vs. 0.92±0.29, lung tissue PMN absolute count (cells): 48 788.03±11 833.91 vs. 1 516.72±415.35, plasma NE (ng/L): 24 522.71±3 842.92 vs. 7 009.34±4 067.86, lung tissue NE (ng/L): 262 189.04±9 695.13 vs. 65 026.03± 16 016.31, all P < 0.01]. The number of PMN in the lung of severely burned mice was highly correlated with NE concentration (r = 0.892, P < 0.001). There was no significantly difference in the PMN absolute count in the BALF of mice between the Sham-injury group and severe burn group (F = 1.403, P > 0.05). The Sham-injury group and severe burn group contained a small amount of NE in the BALF, and the concentration of NE in the BALF of the severely burned 6 hours and 12 hours groups were significantly higher than those of the Sham-injury group (ng/L: 328.58±158.10, 415.30±240.89 vs. 61.95±15.80, both P < 0.05). (3) Kaplan-Meier survival curve showed that the 72-hour survival rate of mice in the SV intervention group was significantly higher than that in the severe burn group (100% vs. 10%, Log-Rank test: χ2 = 19.12, P < 0.001). (4) Compared with the Sham-injury group, all lung function indices of the severe burn group decreased significantly. All lung function indices of SV intervention group improved gradually over time, which were significantly better than those of the severe burn group. (5) Compared with the Sham-injury group, the PMN absolute count in lung tissue and the concentration of NE in plasma and lung tissue were significantly higher in the SV intervention group (F values were 46.709, 3.535, 32.701, respectively, all P < 0.05), with a peak at 6 hours. Compared with the severe burn group, the SV intervention group had a higher PMN absolute count in lung tissue (cells: 8 870.80±7 013.89 vs. 25 974.92±22 240.8, P < 0.05), and higher plasma and lung tissue NE concentrations (ng/L: 14 955.94±3 944.41 vs. 21 972.75±4 573.05, 81 956.87±38 658.35 vs. 168 182.30±83 513.91, both P < 0.01) were significantly decreased.
CONCLUSIONS
In the early stage of severe burns, there is a significant infiltration of PMN into the lungs. The NE promotes lung injury in the early stage of severe burn, and improve lung injury by inhibiting the action of NE.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of child injuries(CI)and provide a scientific basis for developing CI prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:Clinical data of CI cases admitted to Kunshan Woman and Children’s Healthcare Hospital from January 1st,2020 to December 31st,2022 were collected. The cases were classified into three age groups:infants and toddlers(0-3 years),preschoolers(4-6 years),and school-age children(7-14 years). Post hoc testing was used for pairwise comparisons between groups,and differences were determined based on adjusted standardized residuals(AR). The epidemiological characteristics that were analyzed included the type,location,and nature of injuries across these age groups.Results:A total of 12 449 CI cases were collected with a male-to-female ratio of 1.72∶1. School-age boys were more prone to injuries(72.2%, AR=16.3)compared to the other two age groups. The major CI types were falls(50.4%),blunt injuries(15.9%),and strains(9.9%). The infant and toddler group showed higher rates of strains(21.9%, AR=34.9)and poisonings(7.9%, AR=19.6)compared to the other two groups,while preschoolers group had higher rates of falls(55.6%, AR=6.5)and motor vehicle accidents(4.8%, AR=3.6)compared to other age groups. The most frequently injured body regions were upper limbs(43.9%),head/face/neck(27.0%),and lower limbs(16.7%). The infant and toddler group had higher rates of head/face/neck(34.8%, AR=15.4),upper limb(46%, AR=3.6),and whole body(8.9%, AR=18.7)injuries. The nature of CI mainly includes contusion/bruise/crush injury(34.3%),fractures(20.0%)and sharp/open wounds(19.5%). School-age children exhibited higher rates of fractures(30.1%, AR=22.1),strains/sprains(10.1%, AR=13.0),contusion/bruise/crush injury(36.6%, AR=4.2),and multi-site injuries(0.7%, AR=4.4)compared to the other two groups. Injuries were mostly mild(90.8%),with infants and toddlers showing higher mild injury rates(95.0%, AR=12.7),whereas school-aged children had more moderate injuries(11.7%, AR=11.0). Conclusion:The epidemiological characteristics of CI in infants and toddlers,preschoolers and school-age children are different,and different intervention strategies are needed for different age groups.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of delirium after endovascular aortic repair, and to provide a basis for clinical nursing and prevention of this condition. Methods Patients who underwent endovascular aortic repair at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2018 to 2019 were selected. The Chinese version of the Nursing Delirium Screening Scale (Nu-DESC) was used to assess whether postoperative delirium occurred. Patients with a Nu-DESC score≥ 3 were assigned to the delirium group. Non-delirium patients who had the same surgeon and adjacent surgical order were selected at a 1 : 4 ratio to form the non-delirium group. Univariate analysis was performed on the clinical data of the two groups. Factors with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis and those considered clinically significant were included in a multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the influencing factors of postoperative delirium. Stratified analysis was conducted based on thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR). Results A total of 213 patients were included, comprising 46 in the delirium group and 167 in the non-delirium group. The overall mean age was (60.3±12.0) years, and 183 (85.9%) were male. Univariate analysis showed that emergency admission, preoperative neutrophil percentage, aortic dissection, surgical duration, intubation time, and ICU stay may be associated with postoperative delirium. Multivariate analysis revealed that longer operative and intubation times were associated with a higher likelihood of delirium. In the stratified analysis, the results for the TEVAR group were consistent with the overall findings, whereas no significant differences were observed in the EVAR group. Conclusion Longer surgical and intubation times are associated with an increased risk of delirium in patients undergoing TEVAR. No significant factors influencing delirium are identified in patients undergoing EVAR.

OBJECTIVE:The rabbit model of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head is the most commonly used animal model of femoral head necrosis.The pathological changes of the femoral head are close to clinical practice,however,the conditions,methods and evaluation standards of animal models reported in and outside China are not uniform,which leads to the low scientific value of animal models and is difficult to popularize.This study aimed to clarify the influence of different mold-making conditions on the establishment of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head rabbit model and analyze the appropriate conditions for the successful model establishment. METHODS:We searched the CNKI,WanFang,VIP,CBM,WoS,PubMed and EMbsae databases for the literature on the modeling of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head rabbits up to April 1,2022,completed the screening of the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and literature quality evaluation,and extracted the outcome index data in the literature.RevMan Stata and ADDIS statistical software were used to conduct a meta-analysis of the included data. RESULTS:(1)A total of 82 articles with 1 366 rabbits were included in the study.The steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head modeling methods were divided into three types:steroid-alone method,steroid combined lipopolysaccharide method and steroid combined serum method.Among these,33 articles used steroid-alone method;20 articles used steroid combined lipopolysaccharide method;29 articles used steroid combined serum method.(2)Meta-analysis results showed that the three modeling methods significantly increased the rate of empty bone lacunae in the femoral head of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head rabbits(P<0.001),and significantly decreased the ratio of the trabecular bone area in the femoral head of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head rabbits(P<0.001).The order of empty bone lacunae rate of each modeling method was:steroid combined with lipopolysaccharide method>steroid-alone method>steroid combined with serum method>normal group,and the order of trabecular bone area rate of each modeling method was:normal group>steroid combined with serum method>steroid-alone method>steroid combined with lipopolysaccharide method.(3)The results of subgroup analysis suggested that the rate of empty bone lacunae in the rabbit model induced by steroid alone might be related to the rabbit variety and the type of steroid used for modeling(difference between groups P<0.05),in which the combined effect amount of New Zealand white rabbits was higher than that of Chinese white rabbits(P<0.05)and Japanese white rabbits,and the combined effect amount of dexamethasone was higher than that of other steroids.The rate of empty bone lacunae induced by steroid combined with lipopolysaccharide was related to the administration mode of lipopolysaccharide and the type of steroid(P<0.05),among which the combined effect of methylprednisolone sodium succinate was significantly higher than that of other steroids(P<0.05),and the combined effect of prednisolone was significantly lower than that of other steroids(P<0.05).The combined effect of lipopolysaccharide 100 μg/kg×twice was significantly lower than 10 μg/kg×twice and 50 μg/kg×twice(P<0.05).The rate of empty bone lacunae in the model induced by steroid combined with serum was related to serum dose and steroid type(P<0.05),among which the combined effect amount of dexamethasone sodium phosphate was significantly higher than other steroid types(P<0.05),and the combined effect amount of dexamethasone was significantly lower than other steroid types(P<0.05);the combined effect amount of serum"10 mL/kg+6 mL/kg"combined dose was lower than other serum doses(P<0.05). CONCLUSION:(1)With the rate of empty bone lacunae and the ratio of trabecular bone area as the judgment standard for the successful establishment of the model,the three modeling methods can successfully construct the rabbit steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head model,of which the steroid combined with lipopolysaccharide method is the best.(2)New Zealand white rabbits and dexamethasone are recommended when selecting the steroid-alone method.Methylprednisolone sodium succinate and low-dose lipopolysaccharide are recommended when selecting the steroid combined with lipopolysaccharide method.Dexamethasone sodium phosphate is recommended when selecting the steroid combined with serum modeling method.
