Objective To develop an exercise rehabilitation program for the patients with upper limb lymphedema in order to provide standardised guidance for specialised management and nursing practice,and to promote the recovery of patients.Methods With the evidence-based methods,domestic and international literaturs were retrieved and the quality of the papers was evaluated.A research team was established to discuss and draft an initial version of the rehabilitation program for the patients with upper limb lymphedema.Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of consultation with 15 experts in lymphedema between June and September 2023.According to the expert opinions,the exercise rehabilitation program for patients with upper limb lymphedema was finalised after screening and modification of the indicators.Results The final version of the exercise rehabilitation program for patients with upper limb lymphedema includes four tier-1 indicators(routine upper limb rehabilitation exercises,aerobic exercise,anti-resistance exercise and respiratory training),15 tier-2 indicators,and 33 tier-3 indicators.The positive response rate in both rounds of expert consultation was 100.00%,with the authority coefficient at 0.95.In the second round of expert consultation,it was founds that the importance of tier-3 indicators was from 3.93 to 5.00,with the rationality from 4.13 to 5.00 and the feasibility from 3.53 to 4.93.The coefficient of variation in tier-1 and tier-2 indicators was 0.00-0.17 and 0.07-0.23,respectively.The coefficients of variation of per tier-3 indicator in importance,rationality and feasibility were from 0.00 to 0.22,0.00 to 0.22 and 0.05 to 0.22,respectively.The Kendall's coefficient of concordance(W)for tier-1 and tier-2 indicators was 0.490 and 0.387,respectively.The Kendall's W of per tier-3 indicator in importance,rationality and feasibility was 0.427,0.311 and 0.530,respectively,with statistically significant differences(P<0.001).Conclusion The exercise rehabilitation program developed in this study is scientific,comprehensive and highly targeted.It provides a theoretical basis and practical guidance for exercise rehabilitation and nursing care of the patients with upper limb lymphedema.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore the value of serum soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1(sTREM-1),interleukin-17(IL-17),and soluble Fas ligand(sFasL)in evaluating severity and prognosis of neonatal infection.Methods From November 2022 to November 2024,a total of 105 neonates with infections who visited the Department of Pediatrics in the hospital were labeled as infection group,and 105 healthy neo-nates were labeled as control group.Based on the severity of neonatal infection,the affected children were as-signed into extremely critical group,critical group,and non critical group.Based on prognosis,the affected children were grouped into adverse group and good group.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to measured serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL for prognosis.Results The serum levels of sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL in the infection group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL decreased in serum of extremely critical group,critical group,and non critical group in sequence(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation showed that serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL levels were positively correlated with disease severity(r=0.601,0.592,0.523,P＜0.05).The proportion of cesarean section,serum levels of sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL in the poor group were higher than those in the good group(P＜0.05),and the Apgar score was lower than that in the good group(P＜0.05).Logistic regression revealed that cesarean section,sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL were all factors affecting the adverse prognosis of neonatal infections(P＜0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of serum sTREM-1,IL-17,sFasL,and their combined detection in predicting adverse prognosis of neonatal in-fections was 0.781,0.788,0.768,and 0.879,respectively.The AUC of joint prediction was greater than those of individual prediction(Zcombination-sTREM-1=2.238,P=0.025,Zcombination-IL-17=2.014,P=0.044,Zcombination-sFasL=2.248,P=0.025).Conclusion Serum sTREM-1,IL-17,and sFasL levels in neonates with infections are man-ifestly elevated,and they are closely related to the severity and prognosis.
