Objective To explore the feasibility and safety of fastest recovery after surgery(FRAS)in laparoscopic surgery of gastrointestinal tumors.Methods The clinical data of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal tumors under FRAS and enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)from Jan.2023 to May 2024 were collected,and perioperative safety and medical cost were analyzed.Results A total of 87 patients were enrolled,including 43 in the FRAS group and 44 in the ERAS group.Compared with the ERAS group,the FRAS group had significantly shorter surgical time(3.0[2.5,3.5]h vs 3.0[2.5,4.0]h),first postoperative movement time([2.85±4.29]h vs[20.18±6.13]h),first postoperative oral feeding time(2.0[2.0,3.0]h vs 24.0[15.0,48.0]h),postoperative hospital stay(24.0[20.0,40.0]h vs 192.0[150.0,216.0]h),lower hospitalization costs(50 515.61[46 650.44,56 827.12]yuan vs 65 555.09[58 683.21,86 239.02]yuan),and lower medication costs(2 671.09[2 063.31,3 127.09]yuan vs 7 326.90[5 104.66,10 674.26]yuan)(all P＜0.05).Conclusion It is safe and feasible to use FRAS during the perioperative period of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastrointestinal tumors,and FRAS can also reduce the costs of hospitalization and medications.

Objective:To develop a Pain Management Nursing Competency Evaluation Index System for surgical nurses, providing a framework for assessing their pain management competency and guiding in-service training programs.Methods:From December 2023 to July 2024, a research team employed literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, expert consultations, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the content and weight of the competency evaluation index system. A cross-sectional survey was subsequently conducted using convenience sampling on 788 surgical nurses to test the internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and content validity of the index system.Results:The response rates for the two rounds of expert consultations were both 100% (46/46), with an expert authority coefficient of 0.921; the Kendall′s coefficients of expert opinions for the primary indicators were 0.106 and 0.245, respectively. The final index system included seven primary indicators (routine pain assessment, assessment and management of active and unexpected pain, pharmacological pain management, patient-controlled analgesia nursing, non-pharmacological pain management, pain related education for patients and their families, and professional development), 23 secondary indicators, and 78 tertiary indicators. The overall Cronbach α was 0.991, the test-retest reliability was 0.493, the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.96 to 1.00, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.98.Conclusions:The pain management nursing competency evaluation index system for surgical nurses is scientifically valid, reliable, and practical. It offers a solid foundation for evaluating the pain management competencies of surgical nurses and designing targeted in-service training programs.

Objective To investigate the expression of circRAF1 in primary ovarian insufficiency(POI)and explore its effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis of human ovarian granulosa cells(GCs)line(KGN cells).Methods The expression of circRAF1 in GCs and serum of patients with normal ovarian reserve function(n = 50)and patients with POI(n = 50)were detected with RT-qPCR.The correlation of circRAF1 with ovarian reserve function indexes was analyzed.Small interfering RNA(siRNA)targeting circRAF1 was constructed and trans-fected into KGN cells,with the cell proliferation detected by CCK-8 and EdU assay,and the cell apoptosis detected by JC-1 and Tunel assay.The mRNA and protein levels of genes related to cell proliferation and apoptosis(FSHR,PCNA,Bcl-2,Casp-9,Bax)were detected by RT-qPCR and WB.Results The expression of circRAF1 decreased in GCs and serum of POI patients.The expression of circRAF1 was positively correlated with serum E2 and AMH levels(P<0.001),but negatively correlated with serum FSH and LH levels(P<0.001).At the same time,the expression of circRAF1 was positively correlated with AFC(P<0.001).Interfering with the expression of circRAF1 could inhibit the proliferation of KGN cells and promote their apoptosis.Conclusion The expression of circRAF1 in the GCs and serum of POI patients is down-regulated,which is correlated with the decline of ovarian reserve function.Interfering with circRAF1 can inhibit the proliferation of GCs and promote their apoptosis.

Objective:To construct and validate a nomogram model for predicting sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) risk in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Adult sepsis patients admitted to the department of ICU of the 940th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from January 2017 to December 2022 were enrolled. Demographic characteristics, clinical data within 24 hours after admission to ICU diagnosis, and clinical outcomes were collected. Patients were divided into training set and validation set according to a 7∶3 ratio. According to the consensus report of the 28th Acute Disease Quality Initiative Working Group (ADQI 28), the data were analyzed with serum creatinine as the parameter and AKI occurrence 7 days after sepsis diagnosis as the outcome. Lasso regression analysis and univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to construct the nomogram prediction model for SA-AKI. The discrimination and accuracy of the model were evaluated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC).Results:A total of 247 sepsis patients were enrolled, 184 patients developed SA-AKI (74.49%). The number of AKI patients in the training and validation sets were 130 (75.58%) and 54 (72.00%), respectively. After Lasso regression analysis and univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, four independent predictive factors related to the occurrence of SA-AKI were selected, namely procalcitonin (PCT), prothrombin activity (PTA), platelet distribution width (PDW), and uric acid (UA) were significantly associated with the onset of SA-AKI, the odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.03 (1.01-1.05), 0.97 (0.55-0.99), 2.68 (1.21-5.96), 1.01 (1.00-1.01), all P < 0.05, respectively. A nomogram model was constructed using the above four variables. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.869 (95% CI was 0.870-0.930) in the training set and 0.710 (95% CI was 0.588-0.832) in the validation set. The P-values of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test were 0.384 and 0.294, respectively. In the training set, with an optimal cut-off value of 0.760, a sensitivity of 77.5% and specificity of 88.1% were achieved. Both DCA and CIC plots demonstrated the model's good clinical utility. Conclusion:A nomogram model based on clinical indicators of sepsis patients admitted to the ICU within 24 hours could be used to predict the risk of SA-AKI, which would be beneficial for early identification and treatment on SA-AKI.

Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) is a common organ dysfunction of sepsis, and its incidence and mortality are increasing, which brings heavy economic burden to patients and society. Early diagnosis and effective intervention can block the occurrence and progression of SA-AKI effectively, improve prognosis, and reduce medical costs. Diagnosis on SA-AKI relies on urine volume and serum creatinine, which has the disadvantages of being easily disturbed and delaying. The identification of biomarkers in blood and urine can facilitate diagnosis and provide targeted therapy to enhance the management of SA-AKI. This article reviews the characteristics of a variety of SA-AKI biomarkers that have been found and validated, including pre-damage biomarkers, damage biomarkers and functional biomarkers, and explore the clinical value of newly discovered biomarkers related to the diagnosis and treatment of SA-AKI, such as blood uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2), Sestrin 2 protein and pannexin 1 (PANX1), to provide reference for the early diagnosis and effective treatment of SA-AKI.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the forgetting curve combined with blended learning in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) nursing training for ICU nurses.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted from June to November 2022. Sixty-three ICU nurses from the First Hospital of Quanzhou City were selected using cluster sampling and divided into an observation group ( n=30) and a control group ( n=33). The control group received traditional teaching methods for training, while the observation group received training using the forgetting curve combined with blended learning. Compared the ECMO theoretical scores and skill operation scores of two groups of nurses after 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months of training; observed the core competencies and training satisfaction of ECMO nurses before and after training in two groups of nurses. Results:In the control group, there were 7 males and 26 females with an average age of (27.88 ± 4.36) years old; in the observation group, there were 6 males and 24 females with an average age of (28.67 ± 4.24) years old.Prior to training, there were no statistically significant differences in theoretical scores, skill operation scores, and core competencies between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months of training, the observation group′s ECMO theoretical scores were (80.33 ± 3.11), (78.13 ± 3.70), (76.73 ± 3.30) points respectively, higher than those of the control group which were (75.18 ± 3.30), (73.88 ± 2.75), (70.48 ± 2.96) points, with statistically significant differences ( t=6.36, 5.21, 7.92, all P<0.01); the observation group′s ECMO skill operation scores were (84.10 ± 4.16), (82.73 ± 3.71), (81.50 ± 3.40) points respectively, higher than the control group′s (78.09 ± 4.30), (74.97 ± 4.17), (71.85 ± 4.03) points, with statistically significant differences ( t=5.63, 7.77, 10.22, all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences between two groups of nurses in terms of ECMO theory score and skill operation score, as well as time and interactive effect after training ( Finteraction=11.16, 84.76, both P<0.05). After training, the observation group′s total score for ECMO nurse core competency was (280.23 ± 9.23) points, superior to the control group′s (245.39 ± 14.90) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t=11.26, P<0.01). The observation group′s satisfaction total score and the scores in various dimensions were (99.17 ± 10.79), (4.43 ± 0.50), (4.30 ± 0.53), (4.57 ± 0.68), (4.37 ± 0.67), (4.23 ± 0.57) points, all higher than those of the control group which were (84.30 ± 12.61), (3.67 ± 0.96), (3.48 ± 0.71), (3.67 ± 0.74), (3.73 ± 0.72), (3.82 ± 0.77) points, with statistically significant differences ( t values were 2.42 to 5.09, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the forgetting curve combined with blended learning in ECMO nursing training for ICU nurses is scientifically feasible. It helps nurses master ECMO theory and skill operations, improve ECMO nurse core competencies, enhance training satisfaction, and provides a new method for ECMO nursing training.
