Objective:To construct an evidence-based practice program for dietary management of patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on best evidence and to evaluate the effectiveness of its application.Methods:The best evidence for dietary management of non-dialysis CKD patients was summarized. From September to October 2022, following the evidence clinical transformation model of the Fudan University Centre for Evidence-based Nursing, the best evidence was screened and evidence-based practice program were developed, taking into account patients' wishes, expert opinions, and clinical contexts. From November 2022 through March 2023, baseline reviews, analysis of barriers and facilitators were implemented. Between April 2023 and April 2024, evidence-based practice was carried out in the Department of Nephrology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University to compare the implementation rate of review indicators at the system, practitioner, and patient levels, and practitioners' knowledge before and after the application of evidence.Results:A total of 14 review indicators were developed. The implementation rate of the 12 review indicators and the practitioners' knowledge of the CKD diet were elevated after the evidence-based practice ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Evidence-based practice program for dietary management of patients with non-dialysis CKD has a positive effect on improving practitioners' knowledge of non-dialysis CKD diets, implementation rate of dietary management behaviors, and patients' dietary behaviors.

Objective To analyze the incidence of cardiovascular events among patients with comorbid chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and hypertension(HTN),as well as to identify the associated influ-encing factors.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients diagnosed with primary hypertension(HTN group,n=64),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD group,n=64),and concomitant primary hypertension and COPD(combined group,n=64)at our hospital between December 2021 and January 2025.Cardiovascular event incidence,pulmonary function parameters-including forced vital capacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),peak expiratory flow(PEF),and percent predicted FEV1(FEV1%pred)-and blood pressure levels(systolic blood pressure[SBP],diastolic blood pressure[DBP])were compared across the three groups.Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed to illustrate and compare the cumulative incidence of cardiovas-cular events.Covariance analysis was performed to assess the impact of hypertension on pulmonary function,and Cox proportional hazards regression was employed to identify factors associated with cardiovascular outcomes.Results The total incidence rate of cardiovascular events in the HTN group was 14.06%,which was significantly lower than that in the COPD group(29.69%)and the combined HTN-COPD group(48.44%)(P<0.05).A highly significant difference was observed in the cumulative incidence rates across the three groups(P<0.05).Specifically,the COPD group exhibited a higher cumulative incidence than the HTN group(P<0.05),while the combined group showed the highest incidence,exceeding both the COPD and HTN groups(P<0.05).Pulmonary function parameters-including FVC,FEV1,PEF,and FEV1%pred-were significantly higher in the HTN group compared to both the COPD and combined groups(P<0.05).Moreover,these indices were also higher in the COPD group than in the combined group(P<0.05).Systolic and diastolic blood pressure(SBP and DBP)levels in the combined group were significantly elevated compared to both the HTN and COPD groups(P<0.05),and SBP and DBP in the HTN group were higher than those in the COPD group(P<0.05).After adjusting for potential confounders,the intergroup dif-ference in FVC remained statistically significant(P<0.05),and the effect of group on FEV1%pred was particularly robust(partial η2=0.754,P<0.05).Compared with patients without cardiovascular events,those who experienced events differed significantly by disease type(P<0.05).The proportions of patients with HTN alone and HTN com-bined with COPD were higher in the event group than in the non-event group(P<0.05).Additionally,FVC and FEV1%pred were lower in the event group,whereas SBP and DBP were higher(all P<0.05).Multivariate analysis identified disease type,FEV1%pred,and SBP as independent predictors of cardiovascular events(P<0.05).Deci-sion tree analysis further highlighted that the coexistence of HTN and COPD constitutes a critical determinant in cardiovascular risk stratification.Conclusions The incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with COPD com-bined with HTN was significantly higher than in those with either condition alone.Furthermore,the coexistence of these diseases,along with impaired lung function(as indicated by reduced FEV1%predicted)and increased SBP,were independent risk factors for cardiovascular events.

Objective:To develop a scientific and practical questionnaire for general practice residents, and to conduct multidimensional and comprehensive evaluation of the quality of general practice teaching clinics.Methods:A preliminary draft of the questionnaire items was formulated based on a literature review and in-depth interviews. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultation with 14 experts. Following revisions, a convenience sampling method was used to invite general practice residents from three standardized residency training bases to test the reliability and validity of the questionnaire.Results:The questionnaire consisted of 23 items, covering the three dimensions of preparation, implementation process, and comprehensive evaluation of the teaching clinics. The response rates for the two rounds of the expert consultation were both 100.00%, with expert authority coefficients of 0.89 and 0.90, respectively. The overall Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.93, and the correlation coefficients between each item score and the total score were all >0.30. Structural validity analysis revealed that three common factors were extracted from the questionnaire, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 77.89%. Conclusions:The General Practice Teaching Clinic Quality Evaluation Questionnaire for Residents developed in this study demonstrates high reliability and validity. The questionnaire provides a scientific basis for the standardized assessment of teaching quality in general practice clinics. By incorporating resident feedback on the teaching process, the questionnaire promotes the development of a teaching clinic quality improvement mechanism focused on residents and plays a significant role in enhancing the teaching capabilities of supervising physicians in clinics.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of bergapten in the treatment of liver fibrosis and its mechanism based on serum metabolomics. METHODS Forty mice were divided into normal control group (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution), model group (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution), and BP low-dose and high-dose groups (50, 100 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal control group, the other three groups were all treated with carbon tetrachloride to induce liver fibrosis model; they were given relevant medicine/solution intragastrically, once a day, for consecutive 8 weeks. After the last medication, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum were detected, and liver pathological changes were observed; the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and Collagen Ⅰ were detected in liver tissue; the serum of the mice was collected for metabolomics analysis. RESULTS Compared with the model group, serum levels of ALT and AST and protein expressions of α-SMA and Collagen Ⅰ in liver tissue were decreased significantly in BP high-dose and low-dose groups (P<0.05), while liver fibrosis was improved significantly. Meanwhile, metabolomics analyses showed that there were a total of 175 serum differential metabolites in the BP high-dose group and model group, of which 18 substances were upregulated and 157 substances were downregulated; the main metabolic pathways involved in bergapten intervention were pyrimidine metabolism, butanoate metabolism, fatty acid synthesis, tyrosine metabolism, β-alanine metabolism, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide metabolism, glutathione metabolism, etc. CONCLUSIONS BP is effective in the treatment of liver fibrosis by regulating pyrimidine metabolism, butanoate metabolism, glutathione metabolism and so on in rats with liver fibrosis.

Objective:To correlate homocysteine (Hcy) and blood lipid levels with neurological function in patients with progressive ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 400 patients with ischemic stroke who received treatment between June 2018 and June 2020 in Linhai Second People's Hospital were included in this study. Progressive ischemic stroke ( n = 126) and non-progressive ischemic stroke ( n = 274) groups were designated. Hcy level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triacylglycerol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and cholesterol levels were measured using a biochemical analyzer. Hcy and blood lipid levels as well as National Institute Health of Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score were determined in each group. Hcy and blood lipid levels were correlated with NIHSS score. Results:Hcy level in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(28.39 ± 4.36) μmol/L vs. (20.17 ± 3.24) μmol/L, t = 18.894, P < 0.05]. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , triacylglycerol and TC levels in the progressive ischemic stroke group were (3.29 ± 0.45) mmol/L, (2.08 ± 0.34) mmol/L and (4.82 ± 0.79) mmol/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(2.48 ± 0.37) mmol/L, (1.56 ± 0.29) mmol/L and (4.08 ± 0.43) mmol/L, t = 17.644, 14.859, 9.860, P < 0.05]. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol level in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly lower than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(1.03 ± 0.13) mmol/L vs. (1.19 ± 0.14) mmol/L, t =11.158, P < 0.05]. NIHSS score in the progressive ischemic stroke group was significantly higher than that in the non-progressive ischemic stroke group [(21.72 ± 4.35) points vs. (15.52 ± 2.89) points, t = 14.582, P < 0.05]. Hcy, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels were linearly and positively correlated with NIHSS score ( r = 0.846, 0.724, 0.718, 0.765, all P < 0.05), while igh-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was linearly and negatively correlated with NIHSS score ( r = -0.710, P < 0.05). Conclusion:In patients with progressive ischemic stroke, Hcy level is increased and blood lipid level is obviously abnormal. Hcy and blood lipid levels are greatly correlated with neurological function.
