Objective:To understand the breastfeeding situation in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Qianxinan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, and to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of doctors and nurses regarding breastfeeding, aiming to provide foundational data for improving breastfeeding quality.Methods:A questionnaire was developed to survey the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to breastfeeding in NICUs. The questionnaire was divided into three dimensions: knowledge (seven items, total score of 7), attitudes (nine items, total score of 45), and practices (seven items, total score of 35). Lower scores indicated weaker recognition of breastfeeding. Additionally, five items were included to identify the most influential factors affecting breastfeeding. From November 25 to November 30, 2023, a survey was conducted among doctors and nurses with professional qualifications who had worked in the neonatal departments of nine hospitals in Qianxinan Prefecture for at least one year. Independent sample t-tests and Chi-square tests were used to compare the scores of doctors and nurses from different levels of hospitals and within the same level of hospitals across the three dimensions. Results:(1) Among the nine hospitals, three were tertiary grade A hospitals (referred to as "tertiary hospitals"), with 95.6% (43/45) of the doctors and 96.5% (110/114) of the nurses participating in the survey. Six were secondary grade A hospitals (referred to as "secondary hospitals"), with 95.0% (38/40) of the doctors and 97.6% (83/85) of the nurses participating. (2) All nine hospitals were baby-friendly hospitals and all had breastfeeding promotional materials. Six hospitals had NICUs that promoted breastfeeding, with an average NICU breastfeeding rate of 25.8% across the prefecture between year 2021 to 2023. (3) The proportion of doctors who had received breastfeeding training was higher than that of nurses within the same level of hospitals [tertiary hospitals: 69.8% (30/43) vs. 40.0% (44/110), χ 2=10.97, P=0.001; secondary hospitals: 47.4% (18/38) vs. 24.1% (20/83), χ 2=6.55, P=0.010], although the overall training rates were low. (4) In tertiary hospitals, doctors scored higher than nurses in the attitude dimension [(35.35±4.75) vs. (33.18±5.60) scores, t=-2.03, P=0.044] and also in the practice dimension [(26.98±3.00) vs. (25.60±3.75) scores, t=-2.17, P=0.032]. In secondary hospitals, the total knowledge dimension score of doctors was higher than that of nurses [(4.92±1.44) vs. (4.20±1.45) scores, t=-2.52, P=0.013]. In tertiary hospitals, the total scores for attitude and practice dimensions of doctors were higher than those of doctors in secondary hospitals, and the total scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice dimensions of nurses were higher than those of nurses in secondary hospitals (all P<0.05). (5) In the knowledge dimension, the lowest scoring item of doctors in the tertiary hospitals was "Breastfeeding is possible for maternal hepatitis B newborns after receiving vaccines and immunoglobulin"; the lowest scoring item of nurses in the tertiary hospital, and doctors and nurses in the secondary hospitals was "The duration of breastfeeding has a greater impact on neonatal outcomes". In the attitude dimension, the lowest scoring item for doctors and nurses in both tertiary and secondary hospitals was "You think the breastfeeding process is more troublesome than feeding preterm formula". In the practice dimension, the lowest scoring item of the doctors and nurses in the tertiary hospitals was "Your hospital had enough breastfeeding knowledge training", while for the doctors and nurses in the secondary hospitals were "You have more opportunities to participate in various breastfeeding-related training" and "Breast feeding should be started as soon as possible when the infant is stable after active treatment", respectively. (6) The most influential factors affecting breastfeeding were: lack of cooperation from parents (50.0%, 137/274), relative insufficient human resources for doctors and nurses (21.9%, 60/274), and the absence or poor implementation of breastfeeding management policies (18.3%, 50/274), etc. Conclusions:The breastfeeding rate in NICU of county-level hospitals is relatively low, and medical staff, especially nurses, have insufficient knowledge about breastfeeding. It is necessary to strengthen various breastfeeding training for medical staff to enhance their understanding of NICU breastfeeding.

Objective:To explore the experience of the treatment of patella inferior pole fracture with non excitation tension band technique.Methods:From April 2009 to December 2019, 76 patients with inferior patellar fracture were treated with non excitation tension band technique. There were 42 males and 34 females; The age was 35.48 ± 18.12 years (17-66 years), with an average of 35 years. There were 45 cases on the left and 31 cases on the right. Causes of injury: fall injury in 46 cases, bicycle injury in 16 cases and traffic accident injury in 14 cases. The time from injury to operation was 0.25-5 d, with an average of 3.2 d. There were 18 cases of open fractures, 64 cases of articular surface fractures and 52 cases of comminuted fractures. Open fracture patients were debridement first, and all cases were fixed with non excitation tension band technique. The intraoperative fracture reduction, postoperative fracture healing and internal fixation were observed. The knee function was evaluated according to the degree of claudication, the use of supports, the feeling of joint strangulation, joint instability, pain, swelling, stair climbing and squatting.Results:All 76 patients successfully completed the operation and were followed up for 18.24 ± 6.18 months (range 12-24 months). There was no wire fracture during and after operation. All incisions healed in the first stage after operation, and there was no deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs. The X-ray film showed that there was no further fracture and fracture displacement after operation, and there was no Kirschner wire slip before the internal fixation was taken out. Only one case had steel wire relaxation due to buckle (which did not affect fracture healing). All fractures healed well, with an average of 7.5 weeks, and the fracture line basically disappeared. 12 months after operation, according to Lysholm knee score standard, the knee function of patients was evaluated. The score of 76 cases was 95.40±4.60 points (range 82-100 points): excellent in 54 cases, good in 21 cases and fair in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 98.7%. According to the visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score standard, the patients were scored for postoperative pain. The score of 76 cases was 0.09±2.05 points (range 0-3 points): 4 cases had mild pain, with an average score of 0.09.Conclusion:The results of the treatment of patellar inferior pole fracture with tension free band technique are satisfactory, the pain caused by tissue irritation by the internal fixation was lower, clinical application can be popularized.

Objective:To explore the role of first-aid network construction in the early treatment of patients with critically severe hydrofluoric acid burns.Methods:Twenty-seven fluorine chemical enterprises distributed in Zhejiang province, Jiangxi Province, Fujian Province, and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and 22 hospitals with burn/plastic department or professional burn treatment group in Zhejiang province, including Zhejiang Quhua Hospital, and 5 hospitals outside Zhejiang province were involved in the first-aid network construction as member units. As the main unit, Zhejiang Quhua Hospital was responsible for the daily maintenance and technical guidance of the first-aid network. Zhejiang Quhua Hospital was assigned as the designated emergency hospital for 20 fluorine chemical enterprises, a near emergency hospital to the other 7 fluorine chemical enterprises was assigned as the designated hospital for them. Medical records of 56 patients (all males) with critically severe hydrofluoric acid burns who admitted to 5 first-aid network hospitals from January 2006 to June 2021, meeting the inclusion criteria, were involved in the retrospective cohort study. Based on whether the enterprise belonging to the first-aid network construction or not, the patients were divided into first-aid network group (27 cases, aged (41±9) years) and non first-aid network group (29 cases, aged (42±10) years). After the patients in the first-aid network group were injured, the enterprises and hospitals linked up immediately. The hospital where the patient was treated mobilize the treatment force, equipment, materials, and drugs in advance by the first-aid network, thereby realizing seamless joint between pre-hospital first-aid and in-hospital treatment. The hospital started the first-aid process and temporarily mobilized the rescue forces, equipment, materials, and drug after patients in non first-aid network group arrived at the department of emergency of the hospital. The time from injury to medical service, the first detection time of serum calcium, the time staying in department of emergency, the duration of hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia, and the treatment outcome of patients in the two groups were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, Fisher's exact probability test, independent-sample t test, and Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Results:The time from injury to medical service, the first detection time of serum calcium, and the time staying in department of emergency of patients in first-aid network group were 40.0 (30.0, 55.0), 23.0 (17.5, 37.5), and 42.0 (37.0, 53.0) min, which were significantly shorter than 180.0 (120.0, 240.0), 31.0 (22.5, 47.5), 61.0 (52.0, 65.5) min in non first-aid network group ( Z=-6.17, -1.98, -4.15, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The duration of hypocalcemia and hypo- magnesemia of patients in first-aid network group were 1.2 (1.1, 1.6) and 1.9 (1.7, 2.1) h, which were significantly shorter than 4.6 (3.1, 6.2) and 3.2 (2.5, 4.6) h in non first-aid network group ( Z=-5.80, -4.81, P<0.01). Three patients (11.1%) in first-aid network group died, among whom 2 patients died at 40 min after injury and 1 patient died 9.0 h after injury. Four patients (13.8%) died in non first-aid network group at 3.0, 3.0, 4.5, and 7.0 h after injury, respectively. The mortality rates of patients in the two groups were similar ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Critically severe hydrofluoric acid burn is an extremely urgent situation encountered in clinical practice. The construction of a first-aid network creates condition for on-site treatment of patients and improves the first-aid efficiency, thereby gaining time to save lives.

Objective:To summarize the relationship between the clinicopathological features and prognosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) after renal transplantation.Methods:A total of 34 patients with IgAN after renal transplantation confirmed by renal biopsy were enrolled. And another 34 patients with primary IgAN confirmed by initial renal biopsy were adopted as controls. Clinical and pathological features of two groups were compared to explore the relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis of allograft IgAN.Results:As compared with primary IgAN group, renal function in allograft IgAN group included serum creatinine [(158.5±75.9) vs (84.8±26.8) umol/L], urea nitrogen [(9.7±6.1) vs (5.2±1.4) mmol/L], uric acid [(406.7±87.8) vs (359.0±92.6) umol/L], estimated glomerular filtration rate {(57.4±25.4) vs (91.2±28.6) [ml/(min·1.73m 2)]}. All were statistically significantly higher ( P<0.05) while other parameters showed no differences. Pathologically, the proportion of T1 type (50.0% vs 17.6%) of renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was significantly higher in allograft IgAN group than control group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed between various pathological parameters and prognosis in allograft IgAN patients. It indicated that the degree of mesangial hyperplasia of patients with transplanted IgAN had a significantly negative impact on the prognosis. Conclusions:The clinicopathological features of patients with allograft IgAN show no difference from those of patients with primary IgAN. And among patients with allograft IgAN, those with severe mesangial hyperplasia often have a worse prognosis.

Objective:
To retrospectively explore the effects of modified dosage of calcium gluconate (CG) on the patients with hydrofluoric acid burns not in hands or feet.
Methods:
One hundred and sixty patients with hydrofluoric acid burns not in hands or feet were hospitalized in our burn ward from January 2004 to December 2017. Based on the dosage of CG at different admission time, 76 patients hospitalized from January 2004 to December 2012 were included in traditional group, and 84 patients hospitalized from January 2013 to December 2017 were included in modified group. For patients in the two groups, subcutaneous injection of CG solution at one time was immediately conducted on admission in topical treatment. In traditional group, the injection was CG solution with mass concentration of 100 g/L. For wounds of superficial partial-thickness and above degree, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of 50 mg/cm2. Wounds of superficial-thickness or mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid less than 20.0% did not receive injection. In modified group, the mass concentration of CG solution for injection was diluted with normal saline to 25 g/L. For wounds of deep partial-thickness and above degree, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of (50×mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid) mg/cm2. For wounds of superficial partial-thickness, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of (25×mass fraction of hydrofluoric acid) mg/cm2. For wounds of superficial-thickness, CG solution was prescribed at the dosage of 2.5 mg/cm2. For systemic treatment, the injection velocity of CG solution via venous access was adjusted according to the level of serum calcium namely total serum calcium of patients in traditional group. In modified group, serum ionized calcium was additionally detected through automatic blood gas analyzer by the bed to regulate the injection velocity of CG via venous access. The incidence rate of hypercalcemia and mortality of patients after treatment in the two groups, and the situation about treatment of survivors in the two groups were analyzed. Data were processed with chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability test,

To investigate the resistance mechanisms of tigecycline-non-susceptible Acinetobacter baumannii and for providing the evidence of the control of nosocomial infection and rational use of antibiotics. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 94 non repetitive tigecycline-non-susceptible A. baumannii from 20 hospitals in 12 cities of China were determined by agar dilution method and broth microdilution method. The molecular epidemiology was studied by Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and eBURST software. PCR and sequencing techniques were used to analyze the resistance genes (blaOXA-40-like, blaOXA-58-like, blaOXA-23-like, blaOXA-51-like, blaNDM-1), ISAba1, and the mutation sites of adeR, adeS, and trm. The activity of polymyxin B and minocyclinem against tigecycline-non-susceptible A. baumannii were 100% and 25.5%, respectively. The sensitivities of other antibiotics were less than 3.5%, and the sensitivities of imipenem and meropenem totigecycline-nonsusceptible A. baumannii were only 1.1%. A total of 12 ST types were identified, including ST195 (45, 47.9%), ST208 (19, 20.2%) and ST457 (10, 10.6%). EBURST analysis found that 8 of the ST types belonged to the clone complex 92 (Clonal Complex 92, CC92). The blaOXA-23-like type carbapenem gene was identiefied in 93 strains (99% positive); and none of the strains contained the blaNDM-1 gene. The detection rates of adeR and adeS were 73.4% and 91.5% respectively and high frequency mutation sites were located in adeR (Asp26Asn) and adeS (Ala97Glu); The ISAba1 located upstream of the adeS gene was detected in 12 strains of A. baumannii, mainly from the northern region of China. The 240 nucleotide deletion of the trm gene caused a frameshift leading to a premature stop. So the tigecycline-non-susceptible A. baumannii showed high resistance against most antibiotics except polymyxin B. The deletion and mutation of adeR, adeS and trm were the main resistant mechanisms in tigecycline-non-susceptible A. baumannii in China.
