AIM: To investigate the influencing factors of stereoscopic function reconstruction after intermittent exotropia(IXT)surgery and the construction of a nomogram prediction model.METHODS:A total of 204 patients with IXT(all underwent strabismus correction surgery)admitted to our hospital from September 2021 to October 2023 were randomly divided into modeling group(143 cases)and validation group(61 cases). The patients in the modeling group were further divided into reconstructive group and non-reconstructive group according to whether they had stereoscopic function reconstruction after surgery; the general patient information was collected; Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed on the influencing factors of stereoscopic visual function reconstruction after IXT surgery. The nomogram model was constructed using R software. The ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the distinction of the nomogram model. The decision curve analysis(DCA)was used to evaluate the clinical application value of the model.RESULTS:Reconstruction occurred in 50.5%(103 cases)of the 204 patients, and reconstruction occurred in 50.3%(72 cases)of the 143 patients in the modeling group. There were differences in age of onset, course of disease and postoperative horizontal strabismus between the reconstructive group and the non-reconstructive group(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age of onset and postoperative horizontal strabismus were risk factors for stereoscopic visual function reconstruction after IXT surgery(all P<0.05), and the course of disease was a protective factor(P<0.05). The AUC of the modeling group was 0.892, and the H-L test was χ2=6.654 and P=0.615. The AUC of the validation group was 0.935, and the H-L test was χ2=6.498 and P=0.642. The DCA curve showed that the clinical value of the nomogram model was higher when the probability was 0.09-0.95.CONCLUSION: The age of onset, course of disease and postoperative amount of horizontal strabismus are the influencing factors of stereoscopic visual function reconstruction after IXT surgery, and the nomogram model constructed by this can better predict postoperative stereoscopic function reconstruction.

BACKGROUND:Currently,numerous observational studies have frequently associated dietary antioxidant intake and circulating antioxidant levels with osteoarthritis.Nevertheless,the underlying causal mechanisms remain unclear.Therefore,this study employs publicly available genome-wide association data to investigate the causal associations between antioxidant intake,circulating levels,and osteoarthritis,offering evidence for the prevention and treatment of osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE:To assess the potential causal associations between dietary antioxidants(including vitamins A,C,E,and carotenoids)and circulating antioxidants(such as Glutathione S-transferase,glutathione peroxidase,catalase,superoxide dismutase,ascorbic acid,α-tocopherol,γ-tocopherol,albumin,uric acid,bilirubin,zinc,and selenium)with osteoarthritis through Mendelian randomization.METHODS:Data from genome-wide association studies on four dietary antioxidants and twelve circulating antioxidants were employed as exposure variables.The outcome variable was the osteoarthritis consortium dataset,which comprised 77 052 osteoarthritis cases and 378 169 healthy controls.Causal effects were evaluated using the inverse variance-weighted method,MR-Egger regression,and the weighted median approach.Stability and reliability of the findings were assessed through horizontal pleiotropy tests and sensitivity analyses.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)These results demonstrated that dietary vitamin C intake was inversely associated with knee osteoarthritis risk(OR=0.83,95%CI:0.71-0.96,P=0.015).Conversely,vitamin E intake was positively associated with knee osteoarthritis(OR=1.20,95%CI:1.05-1.34,P=0.004)and both knee and hip osteoarthritis(OR=1.15,95%CI:1.03-1.27,P=0.008).(2)Circulating antioxidant albumin levels were negatively associated with knee(OR=0.94,95%CI:0.91-0.97,P=0.001),hip(OR=0.95,95%CI:0.91-0.99,P=0.03),and knee or hip osteoarthritis(OR=0.95,95%CI:0.92-0.98,P=0.01).Uric acid levels were positively associated with knee osteoarthritis(OR=1.10,95%CI:1.03-1.17,P=0.003).(3)Sensitivity analyses yielded consistent results without evidence of horizontal pleiotropy.(4)European genome-wide data indicated that vitamin C intake was associated with a decreased risk of knee osteoarthritis,and lower serum albumin levels were associated with reduced risks of knee and hip osteoarthritis.In contrast,vitamin E intake and higher serum uric acid were associated with an increased risk of knee osteoarthritis.These findings support public health education and osteoarthritis interventions,indicating that serum albumin could be a potential biomarker for risk assessment.(5)The study underscores the role of certain antioxidants in osteoarthritis prevention and provides evidence to inform nutritional guidelines and public health strategies for the Chinese population.Furthermore,it contributes to biomarker research in arthritis,facilitating the development of early diagnostic tools and risk assessment strategies for the Chinese population.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of peroral super minimally invasive incision for esophageal diverticulum.Methods:The clinical data of patients with esophageal diverticulum who underwent super minimally invasive surgery (SMIS) at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital from April 2022 to September 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. These data include clinical baseline data, endoscopic surgical parameters, preoperative and postoperative Eckardt scores, surgical costs, and the duration of hospitalization.Results:Thirteen patients successfully completed submucosal tunneling endoscopic septum division (STESD) surgery without any postoperative adverse events. The duration of operation was (37.00 ± 5.82) min, the application time of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) was 4 (4, 4) d, the application time of antibiotics was 3 (2, 4) d, the surgical cost was 22 580 (27 044, 34 255) yuan, and the hospital stay was 12 (10, 22) d. The Eckardt scores before and after the operation were 3 (2, 4) scores and 1 (0, 1) score respectively, the Eckardt score after the operation decreased significantly compared with that before the operation.Conclusions:STESD is a safety and efficient operation for the treatment of esophageal diverticulitis. It has the advantages of short term curative effect and obvious improvement of the patient′s symptoms.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of quality of life in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) .Methods:From January to July 2024, convenience sampling was used to select TAO patients of the Department of Ophthalmology of Peking University Third Hospital as research subjects. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life Questionnaire (GO-QOL), Negative Physical Self Scale-Appearance (NPSS-A), Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between GO-QOL scores and NPSS-A, SAS, SDS, and PSSS scores. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the quality of life of TAO patients.Results:A total of 234 questionnaires were distributed, and 203 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 86.75%. The GO-QOL visual function and social function dimensions scores of 203 TAO patients were [78.57 (50.00, 100.00) ] and [43.75 (18.75, 62.50) ], respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, eye movement disorders, eyelid retraction, and disease grading, were the influencing factors of the visual function dimension of GO-QOL ( P<0.05). Age, social support, and body image were the influencing factors on the social function dimension of GO-QOL ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The quality of life of TAO patients is poor. Healthcare professionals should develop coping strategies based on factors affecting different dimensions of quality of life, so as to improve patients' quality of life.

Objective To explore the current situation of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room,and analyze the causes.Methods Targeted surveillance was per-formed on patients in emergency rescue room and observation room of a tertiary first-class hospital in Xuzhou City from January 1 to December 31,2023 using prospective survey method.HAI,antimicrobial use,as well as invasive procedures and related infection rates were analyzed.Results The incidence of HAI in 540 patients was 0.19％(n=1),and the daily incidence of HAI was 0.54‰(1/1 841).The utilization rates of invasive ventilators,central ve-nous catheters,and indwelling urinary catheters were 6.79％(125/1 841),1.09％(20/1 841),and 2.93％(54/1 841),respectively.The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia,central line-associated bloodstream infec-tion,and catheter-associated urinary tract infection were 8.00‰(1/125),0(0/20),and 0(0/54),respectively.Pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial treatment was 99.22％(382/385).Conclusion The incidence of HAI in patients in emergency rescue room and observation room is low,the retention time of patients in rescue room is short,and pathogen detection of specimens before antimicrobial treatment is high.Patients in emergency rescue room and observation room are at high risk of HAI.It is necessary to carry out targeted surveillance on HAI to re-duce its incidence.

Objective To understand the application of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)quality control indi-cators and current status of HAI management in primary medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and provide refe-rence and basis for primary medical institutions to improve HAI management quality and for health administrative departments to formulate HAI management relevant policies.Methods Data on HAI quality control indicators co-llected by Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center from the first batch of 62 pri-mary sentinel medical institutions in the province were analyzed.Results of on-site inspections and assessments of 20 institutions were summarized and analyzed.Results From July 2023 to May 2024,a total of 145 814 inpatients were monitored,219 patients had 220 episodes of HAI.The incidence and case incidence of HAI were both 0.15％,and the main HAI site was upper respiratory tract(40.45％).The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene were 81.34％(14.29％-100％)and 87.90％(18.46％-100％),respectively.The removal rate of surface pollu-tant from environmental objects was 77.24％(20.00％-100％),and the qualified rate of cleaning of device,appli-ances,and articles was 98.76％(10.00％-100％).The monitoring data records of quality control indicators in most primary healthcare institutions during on-site inspections didn't match the monthly data reported to the Jiangsu Provincial Primary Healthcare Professional Quality Control Center.Most healthcare workers in primary healthcare institutions lacked sufficient awareness and knowledge in infection prevention and control.Multiple HAI-related safety hazards existed in key departments of most primary medical institutions.Conclusion After nearly a year of continuous monitoring on HAI,the primary sentinel medical institutions have established their own data on the inci-dence of HAI.The compliance rate and correct rate of hand hygiene,as well as the removal rate of surface pollu-tants from environmental objects are still relatively low in some medical medical institutions,and there is much room for improvement.There is still a significant gap in terms of HAI prevention and control in some primary medical in-stitutions when referring to the standards.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of virtual reality technology assisted early cardiac rehabilitation on exercise fear and self-efficacy after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and provide theoretical basis for constructing intelligent and personalized cardiac rehabilitation models.Methods:A prospective non-contemporaneous controlled study was conducted. One hundred and two CABG patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Naval Medical University were selected as the research subjects. They were divided into a control group (51 cases, from January to June 2024) and an experimental group (51 cases, from August to December 2024) according to their admission time, with July 2024 as the washout period. The control group received routine postoperative early cardiac rehabilitation intervention, while the experimental group received virtual reality technology intervention on the basis of the control group. The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-SV-Heart) and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) were used to evaluate exercise fear and self-efficacy on the third day after surgery, one day before discharge, and one month after discharge, and the 6-minute walking distance was recorded at one day before discharge, and one month after discharge.Results:The control group consisted of 49 complete participants, aged (58.50 ± 5.88) years, with 26 males and 23 females, while the experimental group consisted of 48 complete participants, aged (60.31±6.58) years, with 30 males and 18 females. There was no statistically significant difference in the scores of exercise fear and self-efficacy between the two groups on the third day after surgery (both P>0.05). The exercise fear scores of the experimental group at one day before discharge and one month after discharge were (34.16 ± 5.76), (26.86 ± 4.52) points, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group (37.95 ± 6.14), (33.71 ± 5.49) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=3.13, 6.70, both P<0.05). The self-efficacy scores of the experimental group at one day before discharge and one month after discharge were (30.78 ± 3.49), (32.42 ± 3.37) points, respectively, which were higher than those of the control group (26.65 ± 4.21) , (26.54 ± 3.68) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=4.73, 8.25, both P<0.05). The 6-minute walking distance of the experimental group at one day before discharge and one month after discharge were (422.65 ± 74.32), (485.22 ± 76.84) m, respectively, which were longer than those of the control group (385.43 ± 68.17), (423.76 ± 62.75) m, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.57, 4.32, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Virtual reality technology can improve the fear of movement in patients after CABG surgery, enhance their self-efficacy, and simultaneously improve the 6-minute walking distance, providing a theoretical reference for the development of intelligent nursing measures after CABG surgery.
