ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of stroke on diaphragmatic function by ultrasound. MethodsFrom April, 2024 to June, 2025, 40 stroke patients (stroke group) were recruited in Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University. Additionally, 40 sex- and age-matched healthy subjects (control group) were recruited without directional selection. Diaphragmatic excursion and diaphragmatic thickness during quiet breathing and deep breathing were assessed using ultrasound in both groups, and the diaphragmatic thickening fraction was calculated. The stroke group was further divided into two subgroups according to disease course: ≤ 30 days group and > 30 days group, for subgroup analysis. ResultsDuring both quiet and deep breathing, diaphragmatic excursion on the affected side in the stroke group was smaller than that on the unaffected side and in the control group (P < 0.05). During quiet breathing, diaphragmatic thickening fraction on the affected side in the stroke group was smaller than that on the unaffected side and in the control group (P < 0.05), while the diaphragmatic thickening fraction on the unaffected side was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P < 0.01). During deep breathing, the bilateral diaphragmatic thickening fraction in the stroke group was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P < 0.001), and the bilateral end-inspiratory diaphragmatic thickness was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P < 0.001). During quiet breathing, diaphragmatic excursion in both the ≤ 30 d group and the > 30 d group was smaller than that in the control group (P < 0.05); during deep breathing, diaphragmatic excursion in the ≤ 30 d group was smaller than that in the control group (P < 0.05). In both quiet breathing and deep breathing, the diaphragmatic thickening fraction in the ≤ 30 d group and the >30 d group were lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). During deep breathing, end-inspiratory diaphragmatic thickness in both the ≤ 30 d group and the > 30 d group was significantly smaller than that in the control group (P < 0.01). ConclusionUltrasound can effectively identify the impact of stroke on patients' diaphragmatic function. In stroke patients, both diaphragmatic excursion and contractile performance are reduced on the affected side, while contractile performance is also reduced on the unaffected side.

Objective:
To assess the nutritional supply status of school meals for primary and secondary school students in Henan Province, so as to provide a basis for scientific guidance of school meals.
Methods:
During 2021-2023, 115 lunch and dinner samples were collected from 25 primary and secondary schools in Zhoukou, Anyang and Luoyang of Henan Province by a direct selection method, and 13 nutrients were determined for each sample. The nutrient supply was evaluated based on Nutrition Guidelines of School Meals and Reference Intake of Dietary Nutrients for Chinese Residents (2023 Edition). Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the differences of nutritional supply between urban and rural schools.
Results:
The median values for energy (709.77 kcal,1 kcal=4.18 kJ), fat energy supply ratio (0.27) and carbohydrate energy supply ratio (0.55) in the 66 lunches and dinners from primary school were within the recommended range. The supply of protein (28.39 g) and sodium (1 464.59 mg) was excessive. The median values of zinc (2.62 mg) and dietary fiber (5.19 g) were lower than the reference values. No statistically significant differences were observed in the supply of 13 nutrients between urban and rural primary schools( U = 427.00 -633.00, P > 0.05 ). Among 49 samples from secondary schools, the median value of energy supply (930.02 kcal), carbohydrate energy ratio ( 0.54 ) and fat energy supply ratio(0.25) were within the recommended range; and the median values of protein (38.82 g) and sodium (2 556.80 mg) were higher than the standard; and the median values of calcium (250.32 mg) and vitamin B1 (0.16 mg) were lower than the standard. Additionally, the differences in the level of vitamin B2 ( U =372.00) and zinc ( U =375.00) between the urban and rural secondary schools were statistically significant ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Nutrient supply of primary and secondary school meals in three cities of Henan Province is inadequate and imbalanced, and the recipe need to be further optimized and improved.

Objective To investigate the status of management of iodinated contrast media(ICM)extravasation in Henan Province,as well as nurses' knowledge and influencing factors,in order to provide a basis for optimizing management strategies.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was applied,employing convenience sampling,to survey nursing administrators and nurses in the radiology departments of 55 tertiary hospitals across 16 regions of Henan Province,from December 2024 to January 2025.Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore the factors influencing nurses' knowledge.Results A total of 55 nursing administrators and 64 nurses participated,with a valid questionnaire response rate of 100%.The survey results reveal that only 5.45%of radiology depart-ments utilized high-pressure central venous catheters,and 32.73%employed vascular visualization techniques.When setting the high-pressure injection speed for ICM,only 54.55%of radiology departments required an assessment of the type and model of intravenous access.Additionally,only 9.09%of radiology departments mandated an observa-tion for 2 to 4 hours following ICM extravasation.Furthermore,only 50.91%of radiology departments had estab-lished an information system for ICM use.The nurses' knowledge score regarding the prevention and management of ICM extravasation was(90.00±17.59),influenced by years of experience in radiology and professional titles(P<0.05).Conclusion The prevention and management measures for ICM in radiology departments in Henan Province need further improvement.Nursing administrators should optimize management strategies,improve relevant training systems,and continuously enhance nurses' knowledge and practical abilities.

Objective To construct a quality evaluation index system for non-medical technical services in public hospitals,aiming to provide a more scientific and feasible basis for evaluating patient service quality.Methods Based on literature research,the SERVQUAL theory was used to preliminarily formulate a comprehensive and full-cycle evaluation index for patient service quality.The final evaluation index system was determined through expert consultation,and the Analytic Hierarchy Process was used to determine the weights of the evaluation indices.Results The questionnaire response rates for the two rounds of expert consultation were both 100%.The authority coefficients of the experts were 0.82 and 0.80,respectively,indicating a high level of expert authority.The Kendall's W coefficient increased from 0.088 to 0.107 between the two rounds,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001),indicating good consistency of expert opinions.The consistency results of each judgment matrix were less than 0.1,passing the consistency test.The final evaluation index system consisted of six primary indicators (tangibility,reliability,responsiveness,assurance,empathy,and continuity) and 33 secondary indicators.Conclusion The selection of evaluation indicators revolves around the core service processes of outpatient,inpatient,and other hospital services,focusing on key elements at various critical junctures that influence patient experience.The evaluation indicators aim to guide hospitals to improve not only essential needs but also desired improvements in service quality,thus promoting the continuous enhancement of hospital services.
