Objective: To investigate the influencing factors for delay in healthcare-seeking, definitive diagnosis and identification in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in Minhang District, Shanghai Municipality, so as to provide the basis for effectively reducing delay in PTB patients. Methods: Data of PTB patients in Minhang District from 2017 to 2022 were collected from the Infectious Disease Reporting Information System of Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The prevalence rates of delay in healthcare-seeking, definitive diagnosis and identification were analyzed, and factors affecting delay in healthcare-seeking, definitive diagnosis and identification were identified using multivariable logistic regression models. Results: A total of 4 214 PTB patients were reported in Minhang District from 2017 to 2022, including 2 802 males and 1 412 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.98∶1. The majority of patients were aged 25 to <45 years (1 664 cases, 39.49%). The prevalence rates of delay in healthcare-seeking, definitive diagnosis and identification were 36.81%, 30.21% and 38.09%, respectively. Delay in healthcare-seeking was associated with the year (2018, OR=0.708; 2019, OR=0.549; 2020, OR=0.670; 2021, OR=0.682), gender (female, OR=1.199), occupation (worker, OR=1.379; housekeeping service/housework/unemployed, OR=1.481), case identification route (symptom-based consultation, OR=11.159), and level of the first-diagnosed hospital (city-level, OR=1.528). Delay in definitive diagnosis was associated with age (45 to <65 years, OR=1.476), occupation (commercial service, OR=0.687; housekeeping service/housework/unemployed, OR=0.672), household registration (non-local, OR=0.820), case identification route (symptom-based consultation, OR=0.616), pathogen test result (negative/not tested, OR=1.903), and the level of the first-diagnosed hospital (city-level, OR=0.311). Delay in identification was associated with the year (2018, OR=0.785; 2019, OR=0.647; 2020, OR=0.790; 2021, OR=0.710), occupation (commercial service, OR=0.687), household registration (non-local, OR=0.848) and level of the first-diagnosed hospital (city-level, OR=0.560) Conclusions Year, gender, occupation, case identification route and level of the first-diagnosed hospital are influencing factors for delay in healthcare-seeking in PTB patients. Age, occupation, household registration, case identification route, pathogen test result and level of the first-diagnosed hospital are influencing factors for delay in definitive diagnosis. Year, occupation, household registration and level of the first-diagnosed hospital are influencing factors for delay in identification.

Objective:To investigate the influence of sulforaphane(SFN)on ventricular remodeling in myocardial infarction(MI)rat model by regulating extracellular regulated protein kinase(ERK)/nuclear respiratory factor 1(NRF1)signaling pathway.Methods:Among 48 SD male rats,12 were randomly selected as Sham group.The remaining rats were treated with ligation of left ante-rior descending coronary artery to establish myocardial infarction model.After modeling,36 rats were randomly divided into MI model group,SFN treatment group(10 mg/kg),SFN+SCH772984(ERK inhibitor)group(10 mg/kg+15 mg/kg),with 12 rats in each group.Animal ultrasound was performed to detect cardiac structure and function.Histological analysis was performed to evaluate myo-cardial fibrosis and cell apoptosis.ELISA was used to measure pro-inflammatory factor levels in serum,and Western blot assay was used to observe the expression of ERK/NRF1 pathway related proteins in myocardium of rats in each group.Results:Compared with rats in Sham group,rats in MI model group showed a loss of myocardial compliance and disarray of ventricular myocardial fibers,along with increased myocardial fibrosis and myocardial cell apoptosis.Moreover,rats in MI model group also exhibited overactive inflammatory response and inhibition of the ERK/NRF1 signaling pathway in cardiac tissues(P<0.05).Notably,SFN treatment signifi-cantly not only improved cardiac function,but also ameliorated myocardial fibrosis and cell apoptosis(P<0.05).SFN treatment inhib-ited inflammatory cytokine expression and activated the ERK/NRF1 pathway as well(P<0.05).However,SCH772984 significantly abrogated the protective effect of SFN against myocardial fibrosis and apoptosis in MI rats.Conclusion:SFN may protect against ventricular remodeling in MI rat by activating ERK/NRF1 pathway.

Objective:To systematically review thrombosis risk prediction models associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in adults and provide a basis for the clinical application of these models and the development of subsequent models.Methods:Databases such as CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Ovid were searched to collect studies on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC, covering all entries from the inception of the databases until December 31, 2022. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias.Results:Nineteen studies were included. D-dimer was the most common predictive factor; only five studies underwent external validation, and six studies evaluated model calibration. All included studies exhibited high risk of bias, primarily due to methodological deficiencies in model development and validation processes; the combined area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for nine models was 0.80 (95% Confidence Interval: 0.75-0.85) .Conclusions:Research on thrombosis risk prediction models related to adult PICC is still in its developmental stage. Most of the known models perform well with comprehensive and easily obtainable predictive factors, yet they exhibit methodological shortcomings. Future research should focus on improving the methodological quality and external validation during model development and validation processes.

Objective:To explore the current status and correlation of occupational stress and burnout among pediatric nurses.Methods:From April 2023 to January 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 150 pediatric nurses from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, East Campus of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and Taizhou Enze Medical Center as research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, and Nurse Job Stressors Scale.Results:A total of 150 nurses were surveyed, and 149 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 99.33%. Pediatric nurses had high scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions in occupational burnout. The job stressors for pediatric nurses were ranked in order of their scores in each dimension, including workload and time management, work environment and resources, nursing profession and work, management and interpersonal relationships, and patient nursing. There were correlations between occupational burnout and occupational stress among pediatric nurses in multiple dimensions (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pediatric nurses have a relatively high level of occupational burnout and often face significant occupational stress. In the development of the healthcare system, attention should be paid to the occupational burnout and stress of pediatric nurses. The physical and mental health of pediatric nursing staff can be promoted and work efficiency can be improved by reducing the overloaded work of pediatric nurses, optimizing personnel allocation, and improving social support.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

Objective:To investigate the teaching effects of blended teaching based on massive open online courses (MOOC) combined with team-based learning (TBL) for the general elective course First Aid for Burns for non-medical college students. Methods:We assigned 73 non-medical college students choosing the Common Home Health Issues and Care course in the spring semester of 2023 to receive blended teaching based on MOOC and TBL (experimental group), and 113 non-medical college students choosing the same course in the spring semester of 2024 to receive traditional lecture-based learning (control group). A self-evaluation questionnaire was used to evaluate the teaching effects and satisfaction with the course of the two groups. SPSS 27.0 was used to perform the t-test and chi-square test. Results:The experimental group showed significantly higher proportions of students who had a complete mastery of knowledge of first aid for burns (54.8% vs. 33.6%, P<0.01) and students who provided positive feedback on improving autonomous learning ability (98.6% vs. 78.8%, P<0.001), improving the ability of teamwork (100.0% vs. 68.1%, P<0.001), improving communication ability (98.6% vs. 72.6%, P<0.001), and overall satisfaction with the course (97.3% vs. 76.6%, P<0.001) compared with the control group. Conclusions:The blended teaching model based on MOOC and TBL can improve the teaching effects of First Aid for Burns for non-medical college students, enhancing their autonomous learning, teamwork, and communication abilities. This method is applicable to medical general education courses, which is worthy of promotion and application.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.
