Objective To analyze the characteristics of postoperative hospital-acquired infections and drug sensitivity in lung transplant recipients over the past 5 years in a single center. Methods A total of 724 lung transplant recipients at Wuxi People's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were selected. Based on the principles of hospital-acquired infection diagnosis, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the hospital infection situation and infection sites of lung transplant recipients, and an analysis of the distribution of hospital-acquired infection pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibility test status was performed. Results Among the 724 lung transplant recipients, 275 cases of hospital-acquired infection occurred, with an infection rate of 38.0%. The case-time infection rate decreased from 54.2% in 2019 to 22.8% in 2023, showing a downward trend year by year (Z=30.98, P<0.001). The main infection site was the lower respiratory tract, accounting for 73.6%. The pathogens were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with the top four being Acinetobacter baumannii (37.1%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (17.3%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (13.7%), and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (13.4%), with imipenem resistance rates of 89%, 53%, 58% and 100%, respectively. Gram-positive bacteria were mainly Staphylococcus aureus (3.6%), with a methicillin resistance rate of 67%. Conclusions Over the past 5 years, the hospital-acquired infections in lung transplant recipients have shown a downward trend, mainly involving lower respiratory tract infections, with the main pathogens being Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae, all of which have high resistance rates to imipenem.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and adverse events of different postoperative radiotherapy strategies (adjuvant radiotherapy versus salvage radiotherapy) and different irradiation fields (prostate bed versus prostate bed + pelvic radiation) in patients after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.Methods:This retrospective analysis included clinical data from 115 patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after radical prostatectomy at Beijing Hospital between March 2014 and September 2023. Among them, 40 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy, and 75 received salvage radiotherapy. And 74 patients received irradiation to both the prostate bed and pelvic (prostate bed + pelvic radiation group), while 41 patients received irradiation to the prostate bed alone (prostate bed irradiation group). Comparison was made between the adjuvant radiotherapy group and salvage radiotherapy group, as well as between prostate bed + pelvic radiation group and prostate bed irradiation group, in terms of overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), locoregional recurrence-free survival (LRRFS), and the incidence of adverse events. Clinical characteristics were compared using the chi-square test. Survival rates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using the log-rank test. Prognostic factors affecting survival were analyzed using Cox multivariate regression.Results:The median follow-up duration was 73.1 months. The 5-year OS, PFS and LRRFS rates for the entire cohort were 96.4%, 86.4%, and 93.2%, respectively. A total of 59 patients (51.3%) experienced grade 1-2 acute radiotherapy-related adverse events, while 43 patients (37.4%) experienced grade 1-2 late radiotherapy-related adverse events. No grade ≥ 3 late adverse events were observed. There were no statistically significant differences in OS, PFS, or LRRFS between the adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy groups ( P = 0.807, 0.996, and 0.976, respectively), or in the incidence of grade 1-2 acute or late adverse events ( P > 0.05). The OS rate in the prostate bed + pelvic radiation group was significantly lower than that in the prostate bed irradiation group ( P = 0.036), while no significant differences were found in PFS or LRRFS ( P = 0.109 and 0.190, respectively), or in the incidence of grade 1-2 acute or late adverse events ( P > 0.05). Multivariable analysis showed no statistically significant differences in OS, PFS, or LRRFS between the adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy groups, or between the prostate bed and prostate bed + pelvic irradiation groups ( P = 0.756, 0.341, 0.605; 0.938, 0.987, 0.605, respectively). Conclusions:In the era of modern IMRT, both adjuvant and salvage radiotherapy, as well as prostate bed and prostate bed + pelvic irradiation, demonstrate similar efficacy and safety profiles after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Treatment outcomes were favorable, and adverse events were minimal.

Objective:To investigate whether there is an association between the total dose of breast cancer radiotherapy, the mean dose of radiation field involving the heart and its substructures, and the long-term incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1125 patients with breast cancer who received radiotherapy with radiation fields involving the hear at Beijing Hospital from January 2009 to June 2022. The heart and its substructures of 54 patients were manually delineated, trained an automatic delineation model, and applied this model to the original radiotherapy planning images to automatically extract dosimetric parameters for the heart and substructures in the original plan. Based on the follow-up results, 1125 breast cancer patients were categorized into the CHD event group ( n=19) and non-event group ( n=1106). Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Chi-square test and adjustment for confounding factors using inverse probability weighting were used to compare the mean radiation dose received by the heart and its substructures, age at presentation, history of smoking, history of alcohol consumption, history of hypertension, and history of diabetes between two groups. The influencing factors of CHD were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. Results:The mean heart dose ( P=0.035), mean dose of right atrium ( P=0.049), right coronary artery ( P=0.013), septum ( P=0.045), and right ventricle ( P=0.039) of the event group were higher than that of the non-event group, and the differences were statistically significant. History of alcohol consumption was an independent risk factor for long-term CHD events in the breast cancer patients ( OR=7.35,95% CI: 1.56-25.58, P=0.004). After adjusting for confounding factors using inverse probability weighting, age at presentation was an independent risk factor for long-term CHD events ( OR=1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05, P=0.004). Conclusions:In the breast cancer population with traditional high-risk factors of CHD receiving radiotherapy, the possibility of CHD probably remains high even if the dose of radiation field involving the heart and its substructures is low. Compared to traditional risk factors of CHD, the mean dose to the heart and its substructures in the radiation field of breast cancer patients exerts less impact on the occurrence of CHD after radiotherapy.

Objective:To summarize the best evidence for early enteral nutrition support in postoperative patients with gastric cancer and evaluate its effectiveness.Methods:From March to August 2021, 108 postoperative patients with gastric cancer admitted to the Gastrointestinal Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University were selected. We applied evidence-based nursing methods to summarize the best evidence for early enteral nutrition support in postoperative gastric cancer patients, and constructed and implemented the best evidence application strategy through baseline review, evaluation of evidence application clinical scenarios and barriers. We compared the various indicators of two groups of patients before the application of evidence (March to May 2021, n=55) and after the application of evidence (June to August 2021, n=53) . Results:No adverse events occurred during the application of evidence. After applying evidence, the correct nutritional assessment rate increased from 41.82% (23/55) at baseline review to 90.57% (48/53), the implementation rate of early postoperative enteral nutrition increased from 0 to 45.28% (24/53), the start time of postoperative enteral nutrition shortened from (3.75±2.33) days to (2.06±1.38) days, and the implementation rate of postoperative priority oral nutrition increased from 63.64% (35/55) to 86.79% (46/53), nutritional related complications decreased from 40.00% (22/55) to 20.75% (11/53), and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of the best evidence for early enteral nutrition support in postoperative gastric cancer patients can shorten the start time of postoperative enteral nutrition, reduce postoperative nutrition related complications, and promote early recovery of patients.

Objective:To retrieve relevant evidence for early enteral nutrition support in patients after gastric cancer surgery and summarize the best evidence, so as to provide evidence-based evidence for clinical implementation of postoperative enteral nutrition management for gastric cancer.Methods:Evidence-based questions were established according to PIPOST principles, UpToDate, Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Library, BMJ Best Practice, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality website, Medlive, European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism website, American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition website, Embase, Medline, PubMed, SinoMed, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched according to the "6S" evidence model. The retrieval period of every database was from January 1, 2016 to May 31, 2021. The Evidence Pre-Grading and Evidence Recommendation Grading System (2014) of Australian Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center was used to extract evidence from the literature that met the quality standards, determine the evidence grading and recommendation level and form the best evidence.Results:A total of 317 literatures were retrieved, and 10 literatures were included, including 1 guideline, 4 expert consensus and 5 systematic reviews. The 10 evidences were summarized from 4 aspects, including indication evaluation, timing management, route and preparation management and risk management.Conclusions:Current evidence shows that early enteral nutrition is safe and feasible in patients after gastric cancer surgery. In the process of implementing enteral nutrition, medical staff should fully evaluate the indications and needs of patients and make clear and prudent choices for nutritional support channels and preparations of patients, so as to form the best evidence and clinical management programs for early enteral nutrition support for patients after gastric cancer surgery and accelerate postoperative recovery of patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of narrative video combined with teach-back method on full-time caregivers' knowledge, attitude and practice level of preventing aspiration.Methods:The convenient sampling method was used to select full-time caregivers from a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital as the research objects. A total of 89 full-time caregivers from July to August 2018 were set as the control group, and 76 full-time caregivers from October to November 2018 were set as the observation group. The control group adopted conventional health education, while the observation group adopted narrative video combined with teach-back method to carry out aspiration prevention education on the basis of the control group. The scores of knowledge, attitude and practice of the two groups were compared.Results:The knowledge score of the observation group was 44 (37, 49) , higher than 39 (31, 45.5) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-3.463, P<0.01) . The attitude score of the observation group was 50 (45, 54) , which was higher than 44 (44, 52) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.566, P<0.01) . The practice score of the observation group was 47 (41, 51) , which was higher than 41 (35, 53) of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-2.462, P<0.05) . Conclusions:The narrative video combined teach-back method is an effective form of health education, which helps to improve knowledge, attitude, behavior levels of preventing aspiration and clinical care ability of full-time caregivers.

Objective:To develop bundled and continuous nursing measures for patients during daytime chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery and explore its effects.Methods:Literature search, expert consultation and field visits were used to understand the needs of patients during daytime chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery, specify the corresponding measures, and determine the final evidence-based bundled and continuous nursing measures. Totally 62 patients undergoing the first chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery from May to December 2018 were included into the control group, and 53 patients undergoing the first chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery from January to July 2019 were included into the intervention group. Patients in the control group received conventional continuous nursing, while patients in the intervention group received evidence-based bundled and continuous nursing. The laboratory tests and chemotherapy compliance during the eight chemotherapy treatments were compared between the two groups of patients, and the quality of life and satisfaction with the medical and nursing staff after the eight chemotherapy treatments of the two groups of patients were observed.Results:After the implementation of evidence-based bundled and continuous nursing measures, the compliance of the intervention group was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the quality of life between the two groups, except for cognitive function, sleep and economic status ( P<0.05) . The satisfaction with the medical and nursing staff in the control group was 79.03% (49/62) lower than 92.45% (49/53) in the intervention group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The evidence-based bundled and continuing nursing measures can improve the compliance, quality of life and satisfaction with the medical nursing staff in patients undergoing the first chemotherapy after gastric cancer surgery.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of applying standard process management in early enteral nutrition support for elderly patients with gastric cancer after operation. Methods A total of142 elderly patients with gastric cancer in our hospital were randomly divided into control group ( n=71) treated with the traditional nursing of enteral nutrition and intervention group ( n=71) adopting the standardized process man-agement, and then enteral nutrition tolerance, complications, nutritional status and recovery of gastrointestinal function were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in age, sex and preoperative nutritional condition and operation situation between the two groups ( P>0. 05) . The incidence of nutritional intolerance and the cost of nutritional support were lower than those in the control group ( P<0. 05) . The completion rate of enteral nutrition target in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0. 05) . The anal exsufflation time and defecation time of patients in the intervention group were shorter than those in the control group ( P<0. 05) . There was no significant difference in pulmonary infec-tion, incision infection and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0. 05 ) . Conclusions Standardized process management of early enteral nutrition after operation could significantly improve the toler-ance of enteral nutrition, meanwhile, it has positive significance in promoting rapid recovery of elderly patients with gastric cancer.
