ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

Aim To explore the mechanism and mate-rial basis of Shenkang injection(SKI)in the treatment of renal fibrosis(RF)by bioinformatics and in vitro experiments.Methods The differentially expressed genes of RF were screened by GEO database.With the help of CMAP database,based on the similarity princi-ple of gene expression profile,the drugs that regulated RF were repositioned,and then the components of SKI potential treatment RF were screened by molecular fin-gerprint similarity analysis.At the same time,the core targets and pathways of SKI regulating RF were predic-ted based on network pharmacology.Finally,it was verified by molecular docking and cell experiments.Results Based on the GEO database,two RF-related data sets were screened,and CMAP was relocated to three common RF therapeutic drugs(saracatinib,da-satinib,pp-2).Molecular fingerprint similarity analysis showed that RF therapeutic drugs had high structural similarity with five SKI components such as salvianolic acid B and hydroxysafflor yellow A.Molecular docking results showed that salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components had good binding abili-ty with MMP1 and MMP13,which were the core targets of SKI-regulated potential treatment of RF.Network pharmacology analysis suggested that the core targets of SKI were mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as Relaxin and AGE-RAGE.Cell experiments showed that SKI could significantly reduce the mRNA expres-sion levels of AGER,NFKB1,COL1A1,SERPINE1,VEGFC in AGE-RAGE signaling pathway and MMP1 and MMP13 in Relaxin signaling pathway in RF model cells,and significantly increase the mRNA expression level of RXFP1.Conclusions SKI can play a role in the treatment of RF by regulating Relaxin and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways,and its material basis may be salvianolic acid B,hydroxysafflor yellow A and other components.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of modified decoction for dissipating stasis in the epiglottis in the treatment of phlegm-stasis intermingling type chronic tonsillitis and its effects on patients' traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, white blood cell count (WBC), and serum interleukin-3 (IL-3) levels.Methods:A total of 120 patients with phlegm-stasis intermingling type chronic tonsillitis who received treatment at Xi'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2022 to October 2023 were selected for this randomized controlled study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups of 60 each using a random number table method. The control group received amoxicillin capsules combined with open-throat sword spray, while the observation group was treated with modified decoction for dissipating stasis in the epiglottis. All patients were treated for 14 days. Clinical efficacy was evaluated in each group. TCM symptom and sign scores, serum T-lymphocyte subgroups, WBC, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and IL-3 levels were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:The total response rate in the observation group was 93.33% (56/60), which was significantly higher than that in the control group [80.00% (48/60), χ2 = 4.62, P < 0.05]. After treatment, the scores for symptoms including dry and astringent pharynx, prolonged soreness, itchy pharynx, cough with white sputum, chest and epigastric congestion, and poor appetite were significantly lower in both groups compared with their baseline scores (all P < 0.001). After treatment, all symptom scores in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t = 8.08, 18.01, 13.36, 8.75, 8.57, 9.17, all P < 0.001). The WBC, hs-CRP, and IL-3 levels in the observation group were (8.23 ± 1.44) × 10?/L, (5.62 ± 1.27) mg/L, and (81.36 ± 8.87) ng/L, respectively. These values were significantly lower than those in the control group [(10.05 ± 1.91) × 10?/L, (8.23 ± 1.78) mg/L, (97.43 ± 10.22) ng/L, t = 5.89, 0.95, 9.20, all P < 0.001]. After treatment, the ratios of CD 4+/CD 8+, NK lymphocytes, and CD 4+ levels in each group were significantly higher than their pre-treatment values (all P < 0.001). After treatment, these values in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t = 2.30, 6.31, 5.97, 6.60, all P < 0.05). The difference in the incidence of adverse events between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:The treatment of phlegm-stasis intermingling type chronic tonsillitis with a modified decoction for dissipating stasis in the epiglottis can reduce WBC, and hs-CRP and IL-3 levels. It also improves T-lymphocyte subpopulations, alleviates symptoms, and enhances therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To explore the effect of nasal intestinal obstruction catheter placement in the treatment of intestinal obstruction during pregnancy.Methods A total of 92 patients with intestinal obstruction during pregnancy admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022 were divided into the observation group(46 cases,treated with nasal intestinal obstruction catheter placement)and the control group(46 cases,treated with ordinary nasogastric tube for gastrointestinal decompression)by random number table method.The curative effect,gastrointestinal function and immune function of patients in the two groups were observed,and the maternal and infant outcomes were recorded.Results The total effective rate of patients in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of CD4+T lymphocytes increased in both groups of patients,while the levels of IgG,IgA,IgM,and CD8+T lymphocytes decreased,and those in the observation group were superior to the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The recovery time of bowel sounds,anal exhaust time and first defecation time after treatment in the observation group were earlier than those in the control group(P<0.05).A total of 42 patients(91.30% )in the observation group delivered at full term after conservative treatment,with good maternal and infant outcomes;35 patients(76.09% )in the control group recovered and discharged after conservative treatment,there was a statistically significant difference in the recovery and discharge rate between patients of the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Nasal intestinal obstruction catheter placement can effectively improve gastrointestinal function of patients with intestinal obstruction during pregnancy,and enhance the immune function and recovery rate.

Objective:To investigate the effect of feeder layer cells expressing interleukin(IL)-21 on the amplification of NK cells in vitro.Methods:The K562 cell line with IL-21 expression on its membrane was constructed by electroporation,and co-cultured with NK cells after inactivation.The proliferation of NK cells was observed.The killing function of the amplified NK cells in vitro was evaluated by the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and interferon-γ(IFN-y)release assay.A colorectal cancer xenograft model in NOD/SCID mice was established,and a blank control group,a NK cell group and an amplified NK cell group were set up to detect the tumor killing effect of amplified NK cells in vivo.Results:K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane were successfully constructed by electroporation.After co-culturing with K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane for 17 days,the NK cells increased to 700 times,which showed an enhanced amplification ability compared with control group(P＜0.001).In the tumor cell killing experiment in vitro,there was no significant difference in the killing activity on tumor cells between NK cells and amplified NK cells,and there was also no significant difference in mice in vivo.Conclusion:K562 cells expressing IL-21 on the membrane can significantly increase the amplification ability of NK cells in vitro,but do not affect the killing function of NK cells in vitro and in vivo.It can be used for the subsequent large-scale production of NK cells in vitro.

Objective To explore a method for assessing the irregular small opacities profusion associated with occupational pneumoconiosis in chest computed tomography (CT). Methods A total of 20 occupational pneumoconiosis patients whose primary manifestation was irregular small opacities on chest digital radiography (DR) were collected as the research subjects using a retrospective study method. Comparative analysis was performed between chest DR and five mm coronal multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) of chest CT images to identify the causes of irregular small opacities. An evaluation method for the profusion of associated images of irregular small opacities in chest CT was established using technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution-analytic hierarchy process (TOPSIS-AHP), and the results were compared against GBZ 70-2015 Diagnosis of Occupational Pneumoconiosis. Results The abnormal image distribution on the five mm coronal chest CT MPR images of the 20 patients was as follows: three cases of high-density small circular opacities, seven cases of low-density circular small opacities, six cases of diffuse low-density ground-glass opacities (GGO), four cases of reticular opacities, three cases of plate-like GGO, three cases of honeycomb opacities, and four cases of increasing lung texture. The CT values of abnormal images, from high to low were: honeycomb opacities > plate-like GGO > low-density circular small opacities > diffuse low-density GGO (all P<0.05). The consistency test results indicated that the evaluation method for the profusion of associated images of irregular small opacities in chest CT showed high level of agreement with the profusion determination criteria outlined in GBZ 70-2015 Diagnosis of Occupational Pneumoconiosis (Kappa=0.78). Conclusion Irregular small opacities observed on chest DR are formed by the superposition of multiple images of abnormal pulmonary fibrosis in patients with occupational pneumoconiosis. TOPSIS-AHP can be used to establish an evaluation method of the profusion of associated image of irregular small opacity in chest CT.

Objective To identify the factors associated with frailty in lung transplant patients by a meta-analysis.Methods Computerized search was performed for studies on the influencing factors of frailty in lung transplant patients in the CNKI,WanFangData,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Elsevier ScienceDirect and CINAHL databases.The search was conducted from the time of database construction to November 2023.Literature screening,quality assessment,and data extraction were performed independently by 2 investigators,and Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results 10 cohort studies,including 1 999 patients,were finally included,and 13 influencing factors were extracted,including advanced age(OR=1.05),female(OR=2.50),BMI(OR=0.38),diagnosis of primary pulmonary disease(OR=2.90),6MWD(OR=0.34),and lung allocation score(OR=0.69),FVC(OR=0.60),pre-transplant frailty(OR=0.81),hypoproteinemia(OR=4.12),hemoglobin(OR=0.50),anemia(OR=4.37),length of ICU stay(OR=1.24),and total length of stay(OR=1.05).Short Physical Performance Battery is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with an incidence of frailty in 24％before transplantation and 50％in post-transplantation.Fried Frailty Phenotype is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with a pre-transplant frailty incidence of 30％.Conclusion There are many factors involved in the incidence of frailty in lung transplant patients,and nursing staff should dynamically evaluate the frailty of lung transplant patients,and give individualized and precise interventions in combination with a multidisciplinary model to improve or delay the progression of frailty.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remote interventions with digital health technologies in lung transplant patients.Methods Databases,including CKNI,Wangfang,VIP,CMB,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Scopus and BMJ Best Practice were searched from their inception to July 2023.There were 2 researchers who independently screened and extracted the literature,and then evaluated quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.Results 10 studies with 1 262 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional intervention,remote intervention based on digital health technology could improve self-monitoring compliance of lung transplant patients[0R=0.64,95％CI(0.46,0.88),P=0.006],improve quality of life including mental health status[OR=3.08,95％CI(0.41,5.74),P=0.020]and physical health status[OR=3.81,95％CI(1.19,6.43),P=0.004].In terms of the intervention forms,the application-based remote intervention had better self-monitoring compliance,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.007).However,in terms of the comparison of readmission rate[OR=1.73,95％CI(0.98,3.04),P=0.060],anxiety[OR=-0.12,95％CI(-1.36,1.11),P=0.850],and depression[OR=0.62,95％CI(-0.80,2.03),P=0.390],the effect of intervention was unclear.Conclusion Remote intervention based on digital health technology can improve self-monitoring compliance and quality of life in lung transplant patients;applications are the optimal form of intervention.Limited by the quality and quantity of included studies and the heterogeneity of study results,more high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effects of digital health technology on readmission rates,anxiety and depression of lung transplant patients.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of post-transplant diabetes mellitus(PTDM)in adult lung transplant recipients.Methods Conducting a convenience sampling method,we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of lung transplant recipients from January 2020 to December 2022 at a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.According to the PTDM diagnostic criteria,lung transplant recipients are divided into a PTDM group and a non-PTDM group.The incidence rate of PTDM is calculated,and the influencing factors for PTDM occurrence are analyzed using both univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods.Results A total of 140 patients were included in this study,and 54 lung transplant recipients developed PTDM within 6 months,with an incidence of 38.57％.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age,gender,BMI,smoking history,pre-operative glycated albumin,pre-operative fasting blood glucose,early post-operative blood glucose and pre-operative creatinine between the 2 groups(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that gender(OR=5.283),BMI(OR=6.122),pre-operative glycated albumin(OR=1.330),and early post-operative blood glucose(0R=1.444)were the influencing factors.Conclusion Lung transplant recipients who were male,BMI &ge;24.0,with high levels of glycated albumin before surgery,and high blood sugar early after surgery had a higher risk of developing PTDM.Clinical nurses can formulate relevant nursing measures according to the influencing factors to prevent the occurrence of PTDM.
