Objective:To apply the ORTCC (objective, rule, training, check, and culture) refined management model for the systematic management and overall construction of a specialty nurse team in a tertiary grade A general hospital, and to promote the cultivation and development of specialty nurses.Methods:The management framework of specialty nurses was investigated and a survey on their work was conducted. The ORTCC model was used to implement fine management of specialty nurses, including determining the integrated objective of "training, use, and management"(objective):, improving the rule system (rule), building a hierarchical training platform (training), streamlining the whole process check (check), and shaping the specialty nursing culture (culture). The effects were evaluated after one year of implementation.Results:After the implementation of ORTCC refined management, the number of specialty nurses increased to 367 in 2023, and a three-level progressive specialty nurse team was formed. The total and dimensional scores of perceived professional benefits ( P<0.001) and clinical competence ( P<0.001 or P<0.05) were higher than the scores in 2022. Additionally, 12 specialized nursing techniques were established, and six provincial or higher-level specialized quality improvement awards were obtained, further enhancing the capacity for specialized nursing services. Conclusions:The refined management practice of specialty nurses based on the ORTCC model provides a theoretical and practical basis for the hierarchical cultivation, effective use, and scientific management of specialty nurses in tertiary hospitals, thereby promoting specialty nurse team development and enhancing specialized service capacity.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of virtual simulation-guided unilateral locking plate combined with Jail screw technique for double column tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral plateau.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 32 patients with double column tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral plateau admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Group Suqian Hospital from March 2018 to March 2022, including 20 males and 12 females, aged 37-69 years [(47.5±6.9)years]. According to AO/OTA classification, the fractures were classified as type 41B in 17 patients and type 41C in 15. According to the three-column classification, the fractures were classified as lateral column+posterior column in 17 patients and medial column+posterior column in 15. Virtual simulation technique was used to simulate surgical operation before surgery. After reduction, the patients′ tibial plateau mirror models of the healthy side were used to simulate the implantation of internal fixators on the affected side. The position data of the placed internal fixators were obtained to guide the personalized treatment with unilateral locking plate combined with Jail screw technique. The total number of Jail screws, average number of Jail screws, distribution and accuracy of screw placement, operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, and fracture healing status were recorded. The posterior tibial plateau angle (PTSA), proximal medial tibial angle (MPTA) and Rasmussen anatomical score were compared before operation, at 1, 3, 6, 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up. The Lysholm scores at 6, 12 months after operation and at the last follow-up were used to evaluate the knee function. At the last follow-up, the knee range of motion was measured. Postoperative complications were observed.Results:All the patients were followed up for 28-36 months [(30.7±2.3)months]. The total number of Jail screws inserted was 48, with an average of (1.5±0.5) screws. In the sagittal direction, 1-2 Jail screws were inserted in each patient, with an accuracy rate of 88% (42/48). The operative duration was 78-116 minutes [(98.7±10.5)minutes]. The intraoperative blood loss was 70-120 ml [(96.6±15.6)ml]. All the fractures had healing of stage I, with a healing time of 4-7 months [(5.4±0.9)months]. At 1, 3, 6, 12 months after operation and at last follow-up, the PTSA, MPTA, and Rasmussen anatomical scores were significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between those at various postoperative time points ( P>0.05). The Lysholm knee scores were (83.6±3.9)points, (88.5±3.6)points, and (93.7±2.6)points at 6, 12 months after operation, and at the last follow-up, respectively, which were gradually increased with the passage of the follow-up time ( P<0.05). The range of motion was (121.4±4.6)° in flexion and was 0.0(0.0, 3.0)° in extension at the last follow-up. Two patients had superficial wound infection and 1 had wound dehiscence after operation, which recovered with dressing change or debridement and suturing. No deep infection, vascular injury or nerve damage occurred. Conclusions:The virtual simulation-guided unilateral locking plate combined with Jail screw technique has the advantages of high accuracy of screw placement, shorter operative duration, less intraoperative blood loss, satisfactory fracture reduction, favorable recovery of knee function and range of motion, and fewer postoperative complications in the treatment of double column tibial plateau fractures involving the posterolateral plateau.

ObjectiveTo investigate the performance of fibrosis-4 （FIB-4） versus aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index （APRI） in predicting advanced liver fibrosis and disease progression in patients with chronic HBV infection. MethodsA total of 497 patients with chronic HBV infection who underwent liver biopsy in The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from February 2013 to December 2022 were enrolled， among whom 404 were enrolled in a retrospective study and 75 were enrolled in a prospective study. Related indicators were collected， including demographic features （sex and age）， biochemical indices （alanine aminotransferase ［ALT］ and aspartate aminotransferase ［AST］）， and platelet count， and FIB-4 and APRI were calculated. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. The area under the ROC curve （AUC） was used to assess the ability of APRI and FIB-4 in evaluating liver fibrosis degree and disease progression in patients with chronic HBV infection. ResultsIn the retrospective analysis， compared with the FIB-4<2.67 group， the FIB-4≥2.67 group had a significantly higher proportion of the patients who were diagnosed with liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma （66.19% vs 47.54%， χ²=12.75， P<0.001）. The medians of FIB-4 and APRI increased significantly with liver fibrosis degree from F0 to F4 （H=42.5 and 35.9， both P<0.001）. As for the fibrosis stage of F0-F4， the median of FIB-4 was significantly higher than that of APRI in the patients with the same fibrosis stage （H=59.71， P<0.001）. FIB-4 and APRI had a similar AUC for predicting stage F3 fibrosis （0.67 vs 0.65， Z=0.71， P=0.480）， while FIB-4 had a higher AUC for predicting stage F4 fibrosis than APRI （0.72 vs 0.64， Z=10.50， P<0.001）. In the prospective study cohort， FIB-4 and APRI showed an increasing trend over time in predicting disease progression （chronic hepatitis B to liver cirrhosis）， with an AUC of 0.718 （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.476‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.760） and 0.555 （95%CI： 0.408‍ ‍—‍ ‍0.703）， respectively， and FIB-4 had a significantly higher accuracy than APRI in predicting disease progression （χ²=12.44， P<0.001）. ConclusionFIB-4 and APRI can be used to evaluate advanced liver fibrosis （F3 and F4） and predict disease progression， and FIB-4 is superior to APRI in certain aspects.

Objective:To explore the application effects of a neurosurgical mixed-reality distance teaching (NMDT) model in standardized residency training in neurosurgery.Methods:We built an NMDT system using mixed-reality technology and remote interaction technology, and designed the implementation procedure according to the teaching objectives. After the teaching activities were completed, a teaching satisfaction questionnaire survey was conducted among 20 neurosurgery resident trainees, in which they provided satisfaction scores for the same teaching content with different teaching models (i.e., the NMDT model and traditional teaching model). SPSS 22.0 software was used to perform the t test for data analysis. Results:There were significant differences between the NMDT model and the traditional teaching model in key indicators including the score for "completion of teaching objectives" (9.20±0.68 vs. 8.25±0.70, P<0.001) and the score for "satisfaction with learning gains" score (8.95±0.67 vs. 8.05±0.92, P=0.001). The NMDT model also outperformed the traditional teaching model in the other individual scores and the total score. Conclusions:The NMDT model can improve teaching quality, increase training efficiency, and enrich teaching content, which is worthy of promotion.

Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is currently the most commonly used surgical procedure for right-sided colon cancer. Although this procedure is maturing in terms of key tech-niques such as the extent of surgical resection, the extent of lymph node dissection, and the recons-truction of digestive tract, it still lacks a standardized surgical procedure and quality control system. In the pre-preparation phase of the COLOR Ⅳ study (an international, multicenter, randomized contro-lled trail comparing the efficacy of intracorporeal anastomosis versus extracorporeal anasto-mosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for right-sided colon cancer), the research team of the authors formulates a standardized procedure for laparoscopic right hemicolectomy based on the Delphi survey, and develops a competency assessment tool for surgical ability and quality. Attempts are being made to automate the evaluation of surgical techniques using artificial intelligence. It is hoped that the above work will help colorectal surgeons to standardize surgical operations and reduce complications, provide support for the homogenization of multicenter clinical studies, and promote the implementation of structured training for this procedure.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) for intracranial atherosclerotic steno-occlusive disease (ICASD).Methods:Patients with symptomatic ICASD received EDAS treatment in the Department of Neurosurgery, the PLA General Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019 were retrospectively included. The baseline information, perioperative complications, primary endpoint events, and changes in modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores before and after surgery were collected. The primary endpoint event was any stroke/death that occurred within 30 d after enrollment. The secondary endpoint events were any stroke/death, non-stroke bleeding (subdural or epidural bleeding), and clinical functional improvement after 30 d. The clinical functional improvement was defined as a decrease of ≥1 in the mRS score compared to before surgery.Results:A total of 40 patients were included, including 30 males and 10 females, aged 53.9±8.6 years old. The clinical symptoms were mainly limb weakness and dizziness. One case of ischemic stroke and one case of hemorrhagic stroke occurred during the perioperative period. The primary endpoint event incidence was 2.5%. The patients were followed up for 49.75±2.99 months after surgery. One patient died of cerebral hemorrhage 31 months after surgery, and one patient developed acute ischemic stroke 35 months after surgery. The postoperative mRS scores of 34 patients decreased compared to before surgery, and the clinical function improvement rate was 85%. The mRS score increased in 2 cases after surgery compared to before surgery and 4 cases had no change.Conclusion:EDAS can improve the clinical function of patients with symptomatic ICASD and reduce the incidence of long-term stroke.
