Objective:To carry out evidence-based practice for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing hepatectomy based on the knowledge to action (KTA) framework, and to evaluate the application effects of the best evidence.Methods:A systematic review of databases on pain management for hepatectomy patients both domestically and internationally was conducted to form the best evidence. This was combined with the Postoperative pain assessment and nursing in adults group standard to form quality review indicators. From November to December 2023, a baseline review was conducted with 21 healthcare staff and 31 patients undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy at the Hepatobiliary Surgery Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital. The barriers to evidence-based practice were analyzed, and the best evidence application and transformation actions were implemented. A re-evaluation was conducted from January to March 2024 after applying the evidence with 31 laparoscopic hepatectomy patients and 21 healthcare staff. The execution rates of the review indicators, patient pain levels, satisfaction with pain control, and patient comfort were compared before and after evidence application. Results:After applying the evidence, the execution rate of the review indicators by healthcare staff increased to 19.35%-100.00%. Post-intervention, the pain scores at postoperative immediate, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours were significantly lower than before the evidence application, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Additionally, post-intervention, the patients' satisfaction with pain control and comfort scores were significantly higher than before the evidence application, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of the best evidence for pain management in hepatectomy, combined with the construction of quality review indicators and evidence-based practice, can alleviate postoperative pain in patients, improve their satisfaction, and enhance their comfort.

Objective:To report the blood group antigen and antibody specificity identification methods for a patient with high-frequency antibodies, and the process of finding and providing compatible blood for the patient.Methods:A patient sent from the Blood Transfusion Department of Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital to Taiyuan Blood Center in November 2022 was selected for the study. Classical serological methods were used to determine the patient′s blood type, screen for unexpected antibodies, identify antibodies, and perform crossmatching. High-frequency antibody identification was carried out using red blood cells treated with various enzymes. Blood group genotyping was conducted using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) and Sanger sequencing. Multiple strategies were employed to address the patient′s blood source problem. The study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Taiyuan Blood Center [Ethics No. 2024 Ethics Review No.(2)].Results:①The patient′s blood type was B, RhD positive. Initial screening of the patient′s serum with multiple screening cells and antibody identification cells in saline medium was negative, but positive in antiglobulin medium. The patient′s serum showed varying reaction intensities with red blood cells treated with different enzymes. ②MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and Sanger sequencing revealed a homozygous nonsense variant c. 376C>T (p.Gln126Ter) in the ABCG2 gene, resulting in the Jr(a-) phenotype. During family donor selection, the patient′s son was found to have a heterozygous variant c. 376C>T (p.Gln126Ter), and another heterozygous variant c. 421C>A (p.Gln141Lys), which predicted a Jr(a+ w) phenotype. ③Crossmatch tests confirmed the compatibility of blood from the patient′s son, which was used to address the urgent blood requirement. Later, rare blood from a Jr(a-) donor from the Guangzhou Blood Center was used for the patient′s ongoing treatment, saving the patient′s life. Conclusion:Combining classic serological testing with blood group gene typing techniques successfully identified the rare Jr(a-) blood type and high-frequency anti-Jra antibodies. Enzyme-treated red blood cell identification methods confirmed the presence of anti-Jra antibodies. By searching within the family and seeking help from other blood centers, compatible blood was found. This approach may provide insights for resolving similar complex blood matching problems in the future.

Objective:To investigate the development and job adaptability of specialized nurses in Liaoning Province, and to provide basis for further improving the job adaptability of specialized nurses.Methods:In August 2024, provincial-level or above specialized nurses from secondary and above hospitals in 14 cities of Liaoning Province were selected by convenient sampling method, and their job adaptation was investigated using General Information Questionnaire and Workers' Job Adaptation Scale to conduct cross-sectional research.Results:A total of 3 460 valid questionnaires were collected. Among the 3 460 specialized nurses, tertiary hospitals accounted for 91.01% (3 149/3 460), undergraduates accounted for 89.28% (3 089/3 460), and 51.13% (1 769/3 460) were aged from 36 to 45. The top three training specialties for specialized nurses were severe illness, operating room and intravenous infusion therapy, and the training duration was mostly 6 to 12 weeks, accounting for 58.70% (2 031/3 460). After training, they mostly engaged in specialized disease care/case care, accounting for 86.07% (2 978/3 460); In terms of hospital security, 71.16% (2 462/3 460) of the specialized nurses said that the working conditions provided by the hospital could meet their work needs, 43.93% (1 520/3 460) said that the hospital performance was reasonable, 43.29% (1 498/3 460) said that there were sufficient promotion opportunities, and 49.28% (1 705/3 460) said that the hospital has dedicated positions for specialized nurses. The score of the Job Fit Scale for Professional Nurses was (37.36 ± 6.30) points, including the attribute fit dimension (12.45 ± 2.32) points, the demand-supply fit dimension (11.84 ± 2.57) points and the ability-requirement fit dimension (13.06 ± 2.12) points.Conclusions:The post adaptability of provincial-level or above specialized nurses in Liaoning province is in the high level, but the distribution of specialized nurses is uneven, and the proportion of secondary hospitals is low. The training mechanism for specialized nurses has gradually matured, but some of them are not fully played, and there is little participation in scientific research and innovation activities after training. Therefore, it is suggested that in the future work, secondary hospitals should be encouraged to select nursing backbones according to their needs to participate in specialized training programs to improve nurses' professional skills; Nursing managers encourage specialized nurses to consciously participate in systematic scientific research training to enhance their nursing scientific research ability; rational use of specialist nurses in hospitals, giving full play to their professional advantages, and promoting the development of specialties.

Objective This study aims to explore the correlation between the grade of testicular tissue damage and clinical features which is used to evaluate the viability of testicular tissue after the orchidopexy for testicular torsion.Methods We conducted a retrospective,multicenter analysis of pathological specimens obtained from patients who under-went unilateral orchiectomy due to testicular torsion.Tissue viability was reassessed by the Mikuz grading scale.The corre-lations among tissue viability,duration of torsion symptoms,the angle of torsion,preoperative Doppler ultrasound image and intraoperative testicular resuscitation methods were analyzed.Results Eighty-five pathological specimens were en-rolled from 4 medical centers.The age range was 18 years(IQR 14-33),with a median torsion angle of 480°(IQR 180°-1080°).The interval from the torsion onset to surgical intervention was 18 hours(IQR 9-84).In the subgroup analysis of different torsion durations,the distribution of Grade I injuries was as follows.The subgroup within 12 hours ac-counted for 37.5％.The subgroup between 12 to 24 hours accounted for 14.28％.And the subgroup between 24 to 48 hours ac-counted for 6.45％.The subgroup exceeding 48 hours only accounted for 3.13％.Four patients received orchiectomy due to pre-operative ultrasound image indicating necrosis,correlating with Mikuz grade 3 tissue damage.The decision was made based on the failure of color recovery of affected testis in 57 cases,revealing 12.28％with grade 1 and 35.89％with grade Ⅱ damage.Twenty-four cases were identified as an Arda score of 3,with 4.16％showing grade 1 and 20.83％showing grade Ⅱ Mikuz damage.The method of Arda's grading could be used to determine the vitality of testicular tissue more accurately compared to the post-resusci-tation color observation method(P=0.032).Conclusion Pathological reassessment provides a precise determination of tis-sue viability in the affected testis.In some instances,the testicular tissue damage can be found potentially reversible.

ObjectiveTo study on the different therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma（RH） before and after steaming with wine on constipation model mice. MethodsFifty-four male ICR mice were randomly divided into control group， model group， lactulose group（1.5 mg·kg^-1）， high， medium and low dose groups of RH and RH steaming with wine（PRH）（8， 4， 1 g·kg^-1）. Except for the control group， the constipation model was replicated by gavage of loperamide hydrochloride（6 mg·kg^-1） in the other groups. After 2 weeks of modeling， each administration group was gavaged with the corresponding dose of drug solution， and the control and model groups were given an equal volume of normal saline， 1 time/d for 2 consecutive weeks. After administration， the feces were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing， the levels of gastrin（GAS）， motilin（MTL）， interleukin-6（IL-6）， γ-interferon（IFN-γ） in the colonic tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）， the histopathological changes of colon were observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion changes of CD4⁺， CD8⁺ and regulatory T cell（Treg） in peripheral blood. ResultsCompared with the control group， the model group showed significantly decrease in fecal number in 24 h， fecal quality and fecal water rate（P<0.01）， the colon was seen to have necrotic shedding of mucosal epithelium， localized intestinal glands in the lamina propria were degenerated， necrotic and atrophied， a few lymphocytes were seen to infiltrate in the necrotic area in a scattered manner， the contents of GAS and MTL， the proportions of CD4⁺， CD8⁺ and Treg were significantly reduced（P<0.01）， the contents of IL-6 and IFN-γ were significantly elevated（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the fecal number in 24 h， fecal quality and fecal water rate of high-dose groups of RH and PRH were significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the pathological damage of the colon was alleviated to varying degrees， the contents of GAS， MTL， IL-6 and IFN-γ were significantly regressed（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the proportions of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ were significantly increased（P<0.01）， although the proportion of Treg showed an upward trend， there was no significant difference. In addition， the results of intestinal flora showed that the number of amplicon sequence variant（ASV） and Alpha diversity were decreased in the model group compared with the control group， and there was a significant difference in Beta diversity， with a decrease in the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and an increase in the relative abundances of Bacillus and Helicobacter. Compared with the model group， the ASV number and Alpha diversity were increased in the high-dose groups of RH and PRH， and there was a trend of regression of Beta diversity to the control group， the relative abundance of Lactobacillus increased， and the relative abundances of Bacillus and Helicobacter decreased. ConclusionRH and PRH can improve dysbacteriosis， promote immune system activation， inhibit the release of inflammatory factors for enhancing the gastrointestinal function， which may be one of the potential mechanisms of their therapeutic effect on constipation.

ObjectiveA qualitative analysis method was established for the composition of Astragali Radix（AR） before and after rice stir-frying. On the basis of systematic characterization of the chemical compositions in AR and stir-fried AR with rice（ARR）， the structures of their major compounds were deduced and identified， and the differential compositions between them were analyzed. MethodsUltra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was used to detect the samples of AR and ARR in positive and negative ion modes， respectively. The compounds were analyzed and identified through self-constructed databases， literature， and reference standards， etc. And the data were analyzed by chemometrics， in order to screen for the differential components between AR and ARR. ResultsA total of 123 compounds were identified in AR and ARR， including 41 flavonoids， 19 terpenoids， 26 organic acids， 8 amino acids， 5 nucleotides， 5 carbohydrates and 19 other compounds. Among them， there were 95 common components in both， 18 unique components in AR， and 10 unique components in ARR. Principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） results both showed that there were significant differences in the chemical constituents of AR before and after rice stir-frying， and a total of 26 constituents with differences in the content were screened out， including L-canavanine， L-pyroglutamic acid， L-phenylalanine， cis-caffeic acid， and malonylastragaloside Ⅰ. Among them， 19 constituents of ARR were down-regulated and 7 constituents were up-regulated by comparing with AR. ConclusionThis study clarifies that the chemical composition of AR and ARR is mainly composed of flavonoids， terpenoids， and organic acids， and analyzes the components with significant differences in content between the two in combination with chemometrics， and the differential components are dominated by amino acids， organic acids and terpenoids， which can provide reference for the subsequent quality control and material basis research.

The study aims to investigate the impacts of prolyl oligopeptidase (POP) on the replication of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in BHK-21 cells. Firstly, the effects of FMDV replication on POP expression in BHK-21 cells were analyzed by Western blotting and Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Secondly, a eukaryotic expression plasmid for POP was constructed, and the effects of POP overexpression on the replication of two different serotypes of FMDV were assessed by Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and virus titer assays. Thirdly, specific small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting POP were synthesized, and their efficiency in interfering with endogenous POP expression was identified by RT-qPCR. The impacts of downregulating endogenous POP expression on FMDV replication were further evaluated by Western blotting, RT-qPCR, and virus titer assays. The results indicated that FMDV infection did not significantly affect POP expression in BHK-21 cells. Overexpression of POP dose-dependently enhanced the replication of both FMDV/O and FMDV/A serotypes. Conversely, siRNA-mediated downregulation of endogenous POP expression markedly suppressed FMDV/O replication. This study is the first to demonstrated that the role of the host POP protein in promoting FMDV replication in BHK-21 cells, thereby providing a critical theoretical foundation and potential molecular targets for developing efficient candidate cell strains for foot-and-mouth disease inactivated vaccines.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of coronary artery lesion severity in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods Clinical data of ACS patients admitted to Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from December 2017 to December 2019 were consecutively collected. The modified Gensini score was used to assess the severity of coronary artery lesions. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent factors associated with coronary artery lesion severity. Results A total of 1 689 ACS patients were included, with an average age of (64.04±11.45) years; 1 353 (80.11%) were male, and the mean modified Gensini score was (8.12±4.03). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that sex (β＝0.97, P＝0.001), age (β＝0.03, P＝0.021), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; β＝－0.03, P＜0.001), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; β＝0.58, P＜0.001), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1; β＝－1.28, P＝0.012), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a); β＝0.001, P＝0.033], and glycated hemoglobin A_1C (HbA_1C; β＝0.45, P＜0.001) were independent influencing factors of the modified Gensini score. Conclusions Metabolic indicators, including Apo A1, LDL-C, HbA_1C, and Lp(a), may serve as risk factors for coronary artery lesion severity in ACS patients, with Apo A1 demonstrating the strongest impact.
