Objective To compare the benefits and drawbacks of primary patch expansion versus pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection in patients diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PA/VSD). Methods A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with PA/VSD who underwent primary right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection surgery at our center between 2010 and 2020. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection: a pericardial tube group and a patch expansion group. Clinical data and imaging findings were compared between the two groups. Results A total of 51 patients were included in the study, comprising 31 males and 20 females, with a median age of 12.57 (4.57, 49.67) months. The pericardial tube group included 19 patients with a median age of 17.17 (7.33, 49.67) months, while the patch expansion group consisted of 32 patients with a median age of 8.58 (3.57, 52.72) months. In both groups, the diameter of pulmonary artery, McGoon index, and Nakata index significantly increased after treatment (P<0.001). However, the pericardial tube group exhibited a longer extracorporeal circulation time (P<0.001). The reoperation rate was notably high, with 74.51% of patients requiring further surgical intervention, including 26 (81.25%) patients in the patch expansion group and 12 (63.16%) patients in the pericardial tube group. No statistical differences were observed in long-term cure rates or mortality between the two groups (P＞0.005). Conclusion In patients with PA/VSD, both patch expansion and pericardial tube right ventricular-pulmonary artery connection serve as effective initial palliative treatment strategies that promote pulmonary vessel development and provide a favorable foundation for subsequent radical operations. However, compared to the pericardial tube approach, the patch expansion technique is simpler to perform and preserves some intrinsic potential for pulmonary artery development, making it the preferred procedure.

Objective To develop an evaluation management information system for new nurses(EMISNN),and to explore the effectiveness of its application in the training of new nurses.Methods A research and development team was set up to design and build the EMISNN.EMISNN is a system which comprises 3 main modules,namely data integration module,query statistics module and strategy generation module.From August 2021 to April 2023,the new nurses of Qinhuangdao city,a tertiary A hospital who joined in 2022 were selected as an experimental group,and the new nurses joined in 2021 were selected as a control group by the convenience sampling method.The experimental group adopted the data analysis and strategies provided by the EMISNN to guide the training of the theory and practice of surgery,while the control group adopted the routine training plan,and then the performance of the 2 groups nurses in the theory test of surgical nursing and their satisfaction with the training were compared.Results After training,the experimental group was(73.51±8.51)points,while the control group was(69.14±8.01)points,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=3.112,P=0.002).The training satisfaction of the experimental group was(34.53±2.80)points,while the control group was(32.42±2.70)points,and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant(t=4.486,P＜0.001).Conclusion The application of the EMISNN conduces to the precision and intelligence of new nurses trainings,and it is also conducive to enhancing the satisfaction of new nurses with the training and improves the training quality.

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.

The incidence of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fracture (OTLVF) in the elderly is gradually increasing. The kyphotic deformity caused by various factors has become an important characteristic of OTLVF and has received increasing attention. Its clinical manifestations include pain, delayed nerve damage, sagittal imbalance, etc. Currently, the definition and diagnosis of OTLVF with kyphotic deformity in the elderly are still unclear. Although there are many treatment options, they are controversial. Existing guidelines or consensuses pay little attention to this type of fracture with kyphotic deformity. To this end, the Lumbar Education Working Group of the Spine Branch of the Chinese Medicine Education Association and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized the experts in the relevant fields to jointly develop Clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures with kyphotic deformity in the elderly ( version 2024), based on evidence-based medical advancements and the principles of scientificity, practicality, and advanced nature, which provided 18 recommendations to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective: To explore the relationship between the ratio of dietary vitamin A (VitA) to body weight and hypertension among children, so as to provide a reference for blood pressure control through dietary nutritional interventions and childhood hypertension prevention. Methods: Utilizing the baseline survey and followup sample data from the Healthy Children Cohort established in urban and rural areas of Chongqing from 2014 to 2019, structured quantitative dietary questionnaire and selfdesigned questionnaire were used to investigate the information of dietary intake and socioeconomic characteristics of 15 279 children, as well as blood pressure, height, weight measurement. The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight was divided into four groups based on quartiles [≤P25(Q1), >P25~P50(Q2), >P50~P75(Q3), >P75(Q4)]. Generalized linear regression models and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the correlation between ratio of dietary VitA to body weight with blood pressure levels and prevalence of hypertension. Results: The results of the 2014 baseline survey indicated that, after adjusting for confounding factors such as demographic indicators and nutritional intake, significant differences were observed in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) among different groups categorized by the ratio of dietary VitA to body weight (F=157.57, 44.71, 95.92, P<0.01). The baseline ratio of dietary VitA to body weight in children exhibited a negative correlation with DBP, SBP and MAP at baseline and in 2019[baseline: β(95%CI)=-0.65(-0.89--0.42), -0.22(-0.42--0.01), -0.36(-0.56--0.16); 2019: β(95%CI)=-0.77(-1.34--0.19), -0.62(-1.21--0.02), -0.77(-1.34--0.19), P＜0.05]. Compared to Q1 group, the risk of hypertension decreased among children in Q4 at baseline and followup in 2019 [OR(95%CI)=0.63(0.49-0.81), 0.18(0.08-0.42), P<0.01]. Conclusions The ratio of dietary VitA to body weight is significantly negatively correlated with blood pressure levels among children, and dietary VitA deficiency is an independent risk factor for hypertension among children. Measures should be taken to actively adjust childrens dietary nutrition and reduce the risk of childhood hypertension.

Objective:To explore the application effect of breakthrough series (BTS) quality improvement model in the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infection in hospitalized patients with indwelling non-cuffed catheter (NCC).Methods:Using a non synchronous pre and post control study method, convenience sampling was used to select NCC patients from four hospitals in Tianjin from January to September 2022 who received conventional nursing plans as the control group, and NCC patients from February to October 2023 who received nursing plans based on the BTS quality improvement model as the observation group. Compared the incidence of NCC related bloodstream infections between two groups of patients, the implementation of key preventive measures for NCC related bloodstream infections by nursing staff, and patient satisfaction.Results:Among the 984 patients included in the control group, there were 687 males and 297 females, aged (62.43 ± 13.77) years old; among the 959 patients included in the observation group, there were 651 males and 308 females, aged (61.96 ± 13.89) years old. After applying the improved model, the incidence of NCC related bloodstream infections in the observation group was 0.12‰ (1/8 676), lower than the control group′s 0.71‰ (7/9 827), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=4.37, P<0.05) ;the implementation rate of key measures for preventing NCC related bloodstream infections in the observation group was 90.00% (54/60) for catheter outlet care and 91.67% (55/60) for maximizing sterile barrier, both higher than 70.37% (38/54) and 75.93% (41/54) in the control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=7.03, 5.30, both P<0.05); the total satisfaction rate of patients in the observation group was 92.91% (891/959), which was higher than 58.64% (577/984) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=15.28, P<0.05). Conclusions:The implementation of BTS quality improvement model is helpful to improve the nursing quality of patients with indwelling NCC dialysis and improve the patient outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the serum levels and clinical significance of Fc fragment of the IgG-binding protein (FCGBP), serum amyloid protein A1 (SAA1), and CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) and their relationship with prognosis.Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 122 children with MPP admitted to the department of pediatrics of the 970th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army from January 2019 to December 2021. According to the severity and prognosis of MPP, they were divided into mild and severe groups, good prognosis group, and poor prognosis group. Forty healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were set as the control group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the serum levels of FCGBP, SAA1, and CXCL10 in each subject, and to compare the differences in serum levels of FCGBP, SAA1, and CXCL10 among different groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors of poor prognosis in MPP patients. The diagnostic value of individual and combined detection of serum procalcitonin (PCT), FCGBP, SAA1, and CXCL10 for poor prognosis in MPP children by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:The levels of serum FCGBP [(115.68±10.57)ng/ml, (78.41±6.73)ng/ml, (12.55±3.25)ng/ml], SAA1 [(34.18±3.72)mg/L, (25.54±2.63)mg/L, (6.74±0.82)mg/L], and CXCL10 [(714.26±55.64)ng/L, (353.74±42.67)ng/L, (106.25±12.92)ng/L] in the severe MPP group were significant higher than those in the mild MPP group and the control group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). The white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil percentage, C reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), PCT, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), D-dimer (D-D), FCGBP, SAA1, CXCL10 of the children in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that increased PCT ( OR=1.603, 95% CI: 1.190-2.160), FCGBP ( OR=1.757, 95% CI: 1.115-2.770), SAA1 ( OR=1.900, 95% CI: 1.327-2.720) and CXCL10 ( OR=1.704, 95% CI: 1.212-2.397) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of MPP children (all P<0.05). The combined detection of serum PCT, FCGBP, SAA1, and CXCL10 had a significantly higher diagnostic value for the risk of poor prognosis in children with MPP than a single indicator. Conclusions:The elevated levels of serum FCGBP, SAA1, and CXCL10 in children with MPP are associated with the severity of MPP and are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in MPP patients.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.
