Outpatient humanistic care refered to providing a full process of caring medical services to outpatients. In order to standardize the human caring services for outpatients in medical institutions, promote the comprehensive service level of outpatient services, and improve the patient′s medical experience, Chinese Association for Life Care issued the group standard of Management Norms for Human caring of Outpatients in April 2023. This standard clarified the relevant terms and definitions of human caring for outpatients, specified the basic requirements for human caring, the humanistic quality and care responsibilities of outpatient staff, the outpatient care environment and facilities, the outpatient care process and measures, and quality management. It designed standardized and personalized full process care service norms, providing references for medical institutions at all levels to promote the development of human caring for outpatients.

IgA nephropathy is a common primary glomerular disease,and autophagy plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of the internal environment.Dysfunction of cellular autophagy can affect the occurrence and development of IgA nephropathy.This article focused on the molecular mechanism of TCM regulating autophagy in renal intrinsic cells,and found that TCM extracts and formulas mainly regulate autophagy through PI3K/Akt/mTOR,TLR4/NF-κB,MAPK,Nrf2/HO-1,NLRP3 and other signaling pathways.Furthermore,it could intervene in pathological damage such as renal fibrosis,inflammation,and oxidative stress,delaying the progression of IgA nephropathy,in order to provide reference for the clinical treatment and new drug development of IgA nephropathy.

Objective:To construct 68Ga-1, 4, 7-trizacyclononane-1, 4, 7-triacetic acid (NOTA)-CD44 as a novel atherosclerosis tracer targeting hyaluronic acid (HA), and evaluate its biological property and molecular imaging features. Methods:Low molecular weight (LMW) recombinant human CD44 protein was selected, and the C-terminal of the protein was modified by sulfonation and coupled to the bifunctional ligand NOTA to synthesize a novel molecular probe 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 targeting HA. The biological properties of the probe, such as labeling rate and in vitro stability, were studied. Three atherosclerotic plaque model mice and three normal C57BL/6 mice were studied by 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 microPET/CT imaging and pathological examination. Results:68Ga-NOTA-CD44 tracer was synthesized and purified with the radiochemical purity above 99%, and the specific activity was up to 62.22 MBq/nmol. lts stability was good in PBS, and the radiochemical purity was over 90% after incubation for 3 h. After intravenous injection, the probe was metabolized mainly by the kidneys, and its metabolic level decreased successively in the liver, lungs and blood. MicroPET/CT imaging results of atherosclerotic model mice suggested that the uptake in the plaque of abdominal aorta was higher at 60 min after injection, with SUV max and target/background ratio (TBR) max of 1.14±0.02 and 4.95±0.93, and the probe had certain atherosclerotic plaque eroded targeting, which was consistent with the pathological result. Conclusions:As a novel probe, 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 is simple to prepare and has a high labeling rate. It has good physicochemical properties and in vivo biological properties, and can display atherosclerotic eroded plaques sensitively. 68Ga-NOTA-CD44 has a promising prospect to be a new molecular probe for early noninvasive recognition of atherosclerotic eroded plaques.

In recent years, the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has significantly increased, leading to various adverse outcomes for mothers and their offspring. Early diagnosis and good blood glucose control can significantly improve pregnancy outcomes. Currently, the diagnosis of GDM mainly relies on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), but there are many limitations in clinical application. The new biological marker glycosylated CD59 is a glycosylation product of complement regulatory proteins that can stably exist in body fluids and is linearly related to blood glucose levels, which has the advantages of simple testing and good reproducibility, and has been developed into a stable reagent kit. It has shown good value in the early diagnosis, standard diagnosis, and prediction of pregnancy outcomes of GDM.

Objective To investigate the impact of the Shared Medical Appointment (SMA) model on blood glucose levels and self-management behaviors in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A total of 87 pregnant women diagnosed with GDM at the Obstetrics and Gynecology and Endocrinology Outpatient Departments of the Affiliated Suqian Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from October 2021 to October 2022 were enrolled and divided into treatment group (n=44) and control group (n=43). The treatment group received SMA-based GDM management, while the control group underwent routine outpatient follow-up. Baseline data, flash glucose monitoring (FGM)-related indicators before and after treatment, and self-management behavior scale scores were compared between the two groups. Results No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting blood glucose (FBG), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), uric acid (UA), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (P>0.05). After treatment, the time in range (TIR) of glucose was higher in the treatment group than that in the control group, while mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), standard deviation of blood glucose (SDBG), coefficient of variation (CV), and mean blood glucose (MBG) were lower in the treatment group (P < 0.05). Within the treatment group, post-treatment TIR was higher, and MAGE, CV, SDBG, and MBG were lower than pre-treatment levels (P < 0.05). In the control group, post-treatment TIR was higher, and SDBG and MBG were lower than pre-treatment levels (P < 0.05). After treatment, the total score and scores for dietary management, exercise management, medication management, and blood glucose monitoring management in the self-management behavior scale were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.05). In the treatment group, post-treatment scores for all self-management behaviors were higher than pre-treatment levels, while post-treatment total scores and scores for medication management and blood glucose monitoring management in the control group were higher than pre-treatment levels (P < 0.05). Conclusion SMA management model can comprehensively improve blood glucose levels and enhance self-management behavior capabilities in GDM patients.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence of intracranial hypertension nursing for adult patients with severe brain injury, and to provide reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods:According to the evidence-based methodology, a systematic search of Chinese and English literature on intracranial hypertension nursing of adult patients with severe brain injury was conducted in domestic and foreign databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Cinahl Plus and so on, as well as related guide websites and professional association websites from the establishment of database to August 2022.

In total, 33 pieces of best evidence were obtained from 8 dimensions, including intracranial pressure related threshold, assessment and monitoring, respiratory care, circulation care, analgesic and sedative care, temperature care, nutrition care and cerebrospinal fluid care.Conclusions:This study summarizes the evidence-based basis of intracranial hypertension nursing in adult patients with severe brain injury, which provides a basis for the standardized construction of clinical nursing strategies and empirical research.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Objective:To explore the effect of online and offline blended teaching in gynecology and obstetrics nursing.Methods:From February to July 2021, 139 second-year nursing undergraduates from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College in 2019 were selected as the research subject by the convenience sampling.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is an insidious pulmonary vasculopathy with high mortality and morbidity and its underlying pathogenesis is still poorly delineated. The hyperproliferation and apoptosis resistance of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) contributes to pulmonary vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension, which is closely linked to the downregulation of fork-head box transcriptional factor O1 (FoxO1) and apoptotic protein caspase 3 (Cas-3). Here, PA-targeted co-delivery of a FoxO1 stimulus (paclitaxel, PTX) and Cas-3 was exploited to alleviate monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension. The co-delivery system is prepared by loading the active protein on paclitaxel-crystal nanoparticles, followed by a glucuronic acid coating to target the glucose transporter-1 on the PASMCs. The co-loaded system (170 nm) circulates in the blood over time, accumulates in the lung, effectively targets the PAs, and profoundly regresses the remodeling of pulmonary arteries and improves hemodynamics, leading to a decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure and Fulton's index. Our mechanistic studies suggest that the targeted co-delivery system alleviates experimental pulmonary hypertension primarily via the regression of PASMC proliferation by inhibiting cell cycle progression and promoting apoptosis. Taken together, this targeted co-delivery approach offers a promising avenue to target PAs and cure the intractable vasculopathy in pulmonary hypertension.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of patients′ satisfaction with nursing humanistic care, and to provide reference for improving the quality of such care provided by hospitals.Methods:From July to August 2022, outpatients and inpatients in 30 provinces were selected by multi-stage stratified sampling as the survey objects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on an online platform, using the general information questionnaire and Chinese version of methodist health care system nurse caring instrument revised by the research group. The latter instrument consists of 12 dimensions. namely care coordination, competence, teaching/learning, emotional support, respect for individuality, physical comfort, availability, helping/trusting relationship, patient/family engagement, physical environment, spiritual environment and outcomes. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data collected by the questionnaires, and independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the influencing factors of patient satisfaction. Results:A total of 107 hospitals were selected for questionnaire survey, including 86 tertiary hospitals and 21 secondary hospitals, and 29 108 valid questionnaires were recovered. The patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scored (5.40±0.86); the top three dimensions were competence (5.50±0.89), emotional support (5.47±0.88) and helping/trusting relationship (5.46±0.86); the lowest scoring dimensions were teaching/learning (5.38±1.01), spiritual environment (5.36±1.04) and patient/family engagement (5.11±1.28). Differences with gender, age, marital status, child status, educational level, occupation, place of residence, economic region, per capita monthly income of the family, type of medical insurance, medical department visited and surgery or not presented significant differences on the patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scores ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The satisfaction of patients with hospital′s nursing humanistic care in China was at the middle to upper level. In the future, health education for patients should be strengthened, and a mode of family-engaged nursing humanistic care should be constructed in line with the Chinese cultural background. In the process of nursing services, the particularity of patient groups should be considered to better meet their needs.
