Objectives:To develop modified prehospital stroke scales and to evaluate their predictive value for in-hospital acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke.Methods:Patients admitted to Dongtai People's Hospital due to non-stroke-related diseases and activated the in-hospital stroke green channel due to suspected stroke symptoms during hospitalization from January 2015 to December 2022 were included retrospectively. According to the final imaging diagnosis, they were divided into LVO group and non-LVO group. The five prehospital stroke scales included Field Assessment Stroke Triage for Emergency Destination (FAST-ED), Rapid Arterial Occlusion Evaluation (RACE), Los Angeles Motor Scale (LAMS), Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Severity Scale (CPSSS), and Prehospital Acute Stroke Severity Scale (PASS). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent predictive factors of LVO in patients with in-hospital stroke, and incorporating them into the prehospital stroke scale to develop modified scales. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of the modified scales. Results:A total of 174 patients with in-hospital stroke were enrolled, including 92 males (52.9%), aged 65.7±11.9 years. Fifty-four patients (31.0%) had LVO, and 59 (33.9%) had a surgical history within 3 days before the onset of stroke, mainly cardiopulmonary surgeries. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atrial fibrillation (odds ratio 2.940, 95% confidence interval 1.387-6.230; P=0.005) and recent history of cardiopulmonary surgery (odds ratio 6.861, 95% confidence interval 2.437-11.315; P<0.001) were the independent predictive factors of LVO in patients with in-hospital stroke. According to the β coefficient and ROC curve, they were assigned a score of 1 and included in the prehospital stroke scale. The area under the curve of the modified scale for predicting LVO (mRACE: 0.917; mFAST-ED: 0.865; mPASS: 0.859; mCPSSS: 0.853; mLAMS: 0.907) was significantly higher than the corresponding original scale (RACE: 0.888; FAST-ED: 0.820; PASS: 0.786; CPSSS: 0.810; LAMS: 0.859) (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The modified scales based on the prehospital stroke scales can significantly improve the predictive value of in-hospital acute LVO stroke compared to the original prehospital stroke scales.

Various dynasties of herbs and prescription books recorded the specifications, processing, and clinical application of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus. The clinical application of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus mainly focuses on astringency, tonifying qi and generating fluids, nourishing the kidneys and calming the heart. There have been few reports on the exploration on textual study on other functions and usage precautions of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus; at present, the classic prescriptions containing Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus do not clearly indicate their specific specifications and processing in the prescription composition. Textual study has found that different processed products of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus have different clinical therapeutic effects. For raw use, it is more suitable to use light agents to bring adversely risen qi downward, steam to produce light agents to increase transparency, honey to produce leveling agents is better for moistening the lungs and nourishing yin, wine honey to produce leveling agents can supplement deficiency and promote blood circulation, wine to produce heavy agents can strengthen acid absorption. It is suggested further in-depth research on steamed products, honey products, and honey wine products to broaden clinical application options and improve the accuracy of clinical medication. The clinical application of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus has different emphases and evolution in different dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus could reduce the qi of the upper, middle, and lower energizers, and eliminate deficiency heat; during the Five Dynasties period, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus could nourish qi, improve eyesight, warm the middle, and bring adversely risen qi downward; During the Jin and Yuan dynasties, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus was used to warm water and treat cholera, as well as to improve muscle function; in the Ming Dynasty, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus was proposed to reduce qi and strengthen yin, treating the critical condition of yin and yang deficiency; during the Qing Dynasty, Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus could prevent summer heat, and external application to sores could astringent and invigorate the muscles. Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus has records of dispersing phlegm and fire, and dispelling wind pathogens. This article reviewed the relevant records of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus in traditional Chinese herbs and prescriptions throughout history, summarized the efficacy characteristics of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus under different processing methods, clinical applications under historical evolution, and main contraindications for use, proposed recommendations for the application of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus in classic and commonly used prescriptions, which can provide scientific basis for the precise selection of different specifications and processed products of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and Schisandrae Sphenantherae Fructus, as well as scientific guidance for their rational application in drug development.

Objective To explore the factors affecting the success rate of operation in patients with end-stage renal disease by analyzing and comparing the differences of patients'basic conditions and clinical laboratory data.Methods A total of 107 patients who underwent forearm autogenous arteriovenous fistula surgery in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture People's Hospital from January 2021 to August 2024 were selected and divided into AVF failure group and AVF success group according to whether internal fistula occluded during the operation or within 1 week after the operation.The basic data and clinical laboratory data of enrolled patients were collected.Correlation statistical methods were used to compare whether there were differences between the two indexes.Results Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in smoking history,diabetes history,nephritic syndrome history,gender,preoperative blood pressure,hemoglobin,low density lipoprotein and total cholesterol(P<0.05).However,There was no significant difference between the two in history,age,white blood cell count,neutrophil count,lymphocyte count,monocyte count,platelet,creatinine,urea nitrogen,triglyceride,blood calcium,blood phosphorus,calcium-phosphorus product,fibrinogen,D-dimer and albumin(P>0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that gender,diabetes history,nephritic syndrome history,preoperative blood pressure,hemoglobin and low-density lipoprotein were independent risk factors for AVF initiation failure(P<0.05).Conclusion Female patients,history of diabetes mellitus,history of nephrotic syndrome,low hemoglobin,elevated low-density lipoprotein,and poor blood pressure control are independent factors affecting the failure of AVF initiation.

Hyperkalemia is one of the common ion metabolism disorders in clinical practice. Hyperkalemia is defined as serum potassium higher than 5.0 mmol/L according to the guidelines at home and abroad. Acute severe hyperkalemia can cause serious consequences, such as flaccid paralysis, fatal arrhythmia, and even cardiac arrest. The use of renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system inhibitors, β-blockers and diuretics, low-sodium and high-potassium diets, and the presence of related comorbidities increase the occurrence of hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia risk exist in all clinical departments, but there is a lack of a standardization in the management of multi- department cooperation in hospital. Therefore, a number of domestic nephrology and cardiology department experts have discussed a management model for multi-department cooperation in hyperkalemia, formulating the management standard on hospital evaluation, early warning, diagnosis and treatment, and process. This can promote each department to more effectively participate in nosocomial hyperkalemia diagnosis and treatment, as well as the long-term management of chronic hyperkalemia, improving the quality of hyperkalemia management in hospital.

Objective:To discuss the effect of apolipoprotein C1(APOC1)expression on the proliferation and apoptosis of the hepatocellular carcinoma cells,and to preliminarily clarify the related molecular mechanism.Methods:The expression level of APOC1 mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue and its relationship with the prognosis of the patient were analyzed by The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)Database;real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)method was used to detect the expression levels of APOC1 mRNA in different hepatocellular carcinoma cells;the human liver cancer HepG2 cells with low APOC1 expression were selected as the subjects.The HepG2 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1-APOC1 plasmid to over-express APOC1(APOC1 over-expression group),and the HepG2 cells transfected with empty vector pcDNA3.1 were regarded as control group.MTS assay and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU)staining were used to detect the proliferative activities and proliferation rates of the cells in two groups;Transwell chamber assay was used to detect the numbers of migration cells in two groups;flow cytometry and TUNEL assay were used to detect the percentages of the cells at different cell cycles and apoptotic rates in two groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expression levels of extracellular regulated protein kinase(ERK),phosphorylated ERK(p-ERK),protein kinase B(AKT),phosphorylated AKT(p-AKT),B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3(cleaved caspase-3)proteins in the cells in two groups.Results:The TCGA Database results showed that the expression level of APOC1 mRNA in hepatocellular carcinoma tissue was lower than that in normal liver tissue(P<0.05),and the patients with low expression of APOC1 mRNA had poor prognosis.The RT-qPCR results showed that the expression level of APOC1 mRNA in the HepG2 cells was the lowest,and the HepG2 cells were chosen for the subsequent research.Compared with control group,the proliferative activity and proliferation rate of the cells in APOC1 over-expression group were decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the number of migration cells was decreased(P<0.01),and the percentage of the cells at S phase and the apoptotic rate were significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with control group,the expression levels of p-ERK,p-AKT,and Bcl-2 proteins in the cells in APOC1 over-expression group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the expression level of cleaved caspase-3 protein was increased(P<0.01).Conclusion:High expression of APOC1 can inhibit the proliferation of the human liver cancer HepG2 cells and induce the apoptosis,and its mechanism may be related to inhibition of the expressions of p-ERK,p-AKT,Bcl-2 proteins and promotion of the expression of cleaved caspase-3 protein.

Objective To build the early predictive model for chronic kidney disease(CKD)in hypertension and diabetes patients in the community.Methods The CKD patients were recruited from 4 health care centers in 4 urban areas in Kunming.The control group was residents without hypertension and diabetes(n = 1267).The disease group was residents with hypertension and/or diabetes(n = 566).The questionnaire survey,physical examination,laboratory testing,and 5 SNPs gene types in the PVT1 gene.The risk factors,which were filtered with logistics regression,were used to build predictive models.Four machine learning algorithms were built:support vector machine(SVM),random forest(RF),Na?ve Bayes(NB),and artificial neural network(ANN)models.Results Thirteen indicators included in the final diagnostic model:age,disease type,ethnicity,blood urea nitrogen,creatinine,eGFR from MDRD,ACR,eGFR from EPI2009,PAM13 score,sleep quality survey,staying-up late,PVT1 SNP rs11993333 and rs2720659.The accuracy,specificity,Kappa value,AUC of ROC,and PRC of ANN are greater than those of the other 3 models.The sensitivity of RF is the highest among 4 types of machine learning.Conclusions The ANN predictive model has a good ability of efficiency and classification to predict CKD with hypertension and/or diabetes patients in the community.

Nursing skill competitions are the wind vane for clinical nursing development, and the teaching concepts, proposition forms, and evaluation systems demonstrated by competitions have a strong reference value for nursing teaching. This article introduces the knowledge selection and integration from nursing-related courses according to the problems and objectives to be solved by drawing on the STEM education concept in comprehensive nursing practical training in the context of integration of competition and education. Realistic problem scenarios can be created with clinical cases as the carrier or main line, and then the Tanner clinical judgment model is used to guide students to conduct a comprehensive analysis of cases, thereby helping students to develop clinical thinking ability and comprehensive practical skills, so as to bridge the gap between the contents learned at school and nursing work in clinical practice and help nursing students adapt to clinical practice as soon as possible.
