ObjectiveTo establish a narrative nursing program for patients with advanced liver cancer based on the framework of Snyder’s hope theory， and verify its effectiveness. MethodsThe Johns Hopkins evidence-based nursing model and the Delphi method were employed to construct the narrative nursing program for patients with advanced liver cancer. Utilizing the convenience sampling method， 70 patients with advanced liver cancer hospitalized in the department of hepatobiliary surgery from May 2024 to May 2025 were selected and divided into the control group and the intervention group using the random number table method， with 35 patients in each group. The control group received routine nursing care， while the intervention group received the narrative nursing program based on Snyder’s hope theory for patients with advanced liver cancer. The Herth Hope Index， Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale （CD-RISC）， Self-Rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）， and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 （MMAS-8） were used to compare the hope level， psychological resilience， anxiety， and medication adherence between the two groups before and after the intervention. Furthermore， nursing satisfaction was also compared. ResultsThe Delphi expert consultation results demonstrated high consistency among expert opinions， with an expert positive coefficient of 100%. Meanwhile， the authority coefficients （0.902， 0.912） and Kendall’s concordance coefficients （0.260， 0.283） were all satisfactory. Ultimately， a narrative nursing program was established， consisting of 3 primary indicators， 10 secondary indicators， and 19 tertiary indicators. Compared with the control group， the intervention group exhibited significant improvements in scores of the three dimensions regarding the hope level， the total score of psychological resilience， medication adherence， and nursing satisfaction after the intervention， and the anxiety score was markedly reduced. All differences were statistically significant （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe narrative nursing program for patients with advanced liver cancer developed in this study is scientific and reliable. Its clinical application can effectively improve the psychological status and treatment behaviors of patients with advanced liver cancer， profoundly reflect the ethical care for the humanistic needs of patients， and provide an evidence-based basis for optimizing the psychological support for this population.

Objective To analyze the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital in the past 7 years,and to provide reference for clinical treatment and prevention and control strategies of fun-gal infection.Methods The fungal data and clinical data of related patients isolated from clinical samples in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from early January 2018 to the end of May 2024 were selected,and the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infection in this hospital were identified and described through multi-angle statistical analysis.Results A total of 4 479 patients with filamentous fungal infection were en-rolled.The proportion of male patients[57.5％(2 576/4 479)]was higher than that of female patients[42.5％(1 903/4 143)],mainly distributed in internal medicine,Intensive Care Unit(ICU)and emergency de-partment,among which internal medicine accounted for the highest proportion[50.0％(2 241/4 479)].About 90.0％of the specimens were from the lower respiratory tract,in addition to specimens from skin and soft tis-sue,tissue,ear and blood culture.In terms of seasonal distribution,there are more patients in winter.The fun-gi were mainly composed of Aspergillus,Mucor,Cerdosporium,Fusarium and Penicillium,among which As-pergillus was the most abundant,accounting for 74.6％of the total.Aspergillus fumigatus was the most a-bundant Aspergillus,accounting for 42.5％of the total Aspergillus(1 418/3 340).Among the related infec-tions caused by mold,Aspergillus was the most common in the lower respiratory tract,accounting for 76.8％.Among them,Aspergillus fumigatus accounted for the highest proportion(33.6％).98.6％of the molds infected the ear were Aspergillus,of which Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus terreus were the most common.Skin infections are mainly caused by Sporothrix schenckii,Trichophyton rubrum,Microsporum ca-nis.The results of in vitro drug sensitivity test showed that the four common Aspergillus isolated in this hos-pital were sensitive to voriconazole,and amphotericin B had better antifungal activity against Mucorales in vitro.Conclusion Based on the main epidemiological characteristics of fungal infections in this hospital,it is recommended that special attention be paid to the admission of patients in the respiratory department during the peak infection period in autumn and winter.In the treatment of fungal infections in different regions and on different body parts,attention should be paid to the differences in the distribution of bacterial species.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of regulating conception vessel and unblocking governor vessel electroacupuncture in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue(CRF)of middle-to-advanced stage cervical cancer,and to explore its effect on inflammatory factors.Methods A total of 122 patients with a definitive diagnosis of CRF of middle-to-advanced stage cervical cancer admitted to the wards and outpatient clinics of Cangzhou Central Hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected for the study.The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table method,with 61 cases in each group.The patients in both groups were given conventional symptomatic treatments such as gastric protection and anti-vomiting since the day of action of chemotherapy.The control group was treated with Dexamethasone Tablets,and the observation group was treated with regulating conception vessel and unblocking governor vessel electroacupuncture on the basis of the control group,the course of treatment covered 21 days.After three weeks of treatment,the clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated.The changes in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,Piper's Fatigue Scale(PFS)scores,Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)scores,and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General(FACT-G)scores of the patients in the two groups before and after treatment were observed.The changes in interleukin 6(IL-6),hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),and T-lymphocyte subsets indicators[CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+]were compared between the patients in the two groups before and after treatment.Results(1)The total effective rate was 95.08%(58/61)in the observation group and 77.05%(47/61)in the control group.The efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(2)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(3)After treatment,the PFS scores of patients in the two groups were improved significantly(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(4)After treatment,the serum IL-6,hs-CRP,and TNF-α levels of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(5)After treatment,the CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).(6)After treatment,the KPS scores and FACT-G scores of patients in the two groups were significantly improved(P<0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group,the difference being statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Regulating conception vessel and unblocking governor vessel electroacupuncture in the treatment of CRF of middle-to-advanced stage cervical cancer can effectively alleviate the fatigue of patients,inhibit the release of inflammatory factors,regulate the immune function,and improve the physical condition of patients,so as to improve the quality of life of patients.

Middle compartment defects,a common subtype of pelvic floor dysfunction(PFD),are primarily characterized by the prolapse of the uterus or vaginal vault.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)has emerged as a valuable diagnostic tool for PFD,offering superior soft tissue resolution while eliminating exposure to ionizing radiation.This review comprehensive summarizes current applications of MRI in the diagnosis and treatment of PFD,covering measurement methods,manifestations of three-level structural defects,postoperative efficacy evaluation,vaginal axial assessment,and evaluation of the mesh status.The authors suggest that MRI enables precise preoperative evaluation of three-level defects,thereby facilitating the development of personalized treatment plans.Additionally,MRI provides an accurate postoperative assessment of surgical outcomes and mesh status,offering a new basis for postoperative assessment.MRI demonstrates unique value in the diagnosis and treatment of middle compartment defects.

Objective To evaluate the perioperative safety and mid-term outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy(LSC)and laparoscopic pectopexy(LP)for pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 274 POP patients,including 178 who underwent LSC and 96 who underwent LP,between August 2017 and January 2023.The extent of prolapse and anatomical restoration were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification(POP-Q)system.Quality of life outcomes were evaluated with validated questionnaires,including Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-short form 20(PFDI-20),Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-short form 7(PFIQ-7),and Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire-12(PISQ-12).Postoperative patient satisfaction was assessed during follow-ups.Postoperative anatomical restoration,perioperative status,and postoperative complications,recurrence,and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify postoperative risk factors for recurrence.Results The operative time in the LSC group was significantly shorter than that in the LP group(P<0.05).Intraoperative blood loss was higher in the LSC group compared to that in the LP group(P<0.05).The LSC group also exhibited higher rates of de novo stress urinary incontinence and constipation(P<0.05).The mean follow-up duration was(35.91±16.90)months.The positions of the indicator points(Aa,Ba,C,Ap,and Bp)in the POP-Q classification after the operation were all better than those before the operation.The PFDI-20 score,PFIQ-7 score,and PISQ-12 score all improved compared to those before the operation(P<0.05).Comparison of preoperative and postoperative PFDI-20,PFIQ-7,and PISQ-12 scores showed no intergroup differences.Compared with the LP group,the LSC group had the lower preoperative POP-Q measurements at points Aa and Ba(P<0.05),but superior postoperative measurements for all the indicator points(Aa,Ba,C,Ap,and Bp)(P<0.05).Recurrence occurred in 28 cases in the LP group and 4 cases in the LSC group,with the LP group presenting a significantly higher anatomical recurrence rate than the LSC group did(31.46%[28/89]vs.2.41%[4/166],P<0.05).The subjective cure rate(100%)and objective cure rate(97.59%)in the LSC group were superior to those in the LP group(88.76%and 68.54%,respectively;P<0.05).The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that,after adjusting for the confounding factors,including age,gravidity,parity,body mass index,and duration of POP,the risk of recurrence after LSC surgery was 0.044 times that after LP(odds ratio[OR],0.044;95%CI,0.015-0.133;P<0.001).Conclusion Mid-term outcomes of LP with partial cervical preservation appear inferior to those of LSC,with LSC demonstrating superior anatomical restoration and lower rates of anatomical recurrence.However,improvements in sexual function and quality of life are comparable between the two procedures.Further evaluation with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up is warranted to better characterize long-term outcomes.

Objective To study the distribution characteristics of TCM constitutions in the middle-aged and elderly Mongolian population undergoing physical examinations in Inner Mongolia;To analyze the correlation with related risk factors.Methods Health information and related risk factors(including BMI index,lifestyle habits,dietary habits and exercise status)of middle-aged and elderly Mongolian people who visited the physical examination departments of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and Tongliao City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2024 to April 2024 were collected.A total of 213 Mongolian people were surveyed,including 65 people who have lived in Hohhot for more than 2 years and 148 people who have lived in Tongliao for more than 2 years.Through investigation,research and analysis,the distribution characteristics of TCM constitutions in the population and its correlation with related risk factors were observed.Results Constitution distribution:101 people(47.41%)had a moderate constitution.Among the biased constitutions,the phlegm dampness constitution had the highest number of people(64 people,30.05%),with the blood deficiency constitution having the lowest number of people(2 people,0.94%).In the investigation of related risk factors,there was a significant correlation(P<0.01)between phlegm dampness and dietary habits and reduced exercise volume.Moreover,individuals with this constitution tend to have good sleep,reduced physical activity,faster eating and a diet primarily consisting of high-calorie foods(P<0.05).Conclusion The TCM constitution of the Mongolian population in Inner Mongolia is mostly composed of moderate constitution,while the biased constitution is mostly composed of phlegm dampness constitution,which is mainly related to dietary habits and reduced exercise volume.

Objective:To explore the influence of management mode of Deming cycle(plan,do,check,action,PDCA)combined with 6S management method on management effect of medical equipment in orthopedic department,and to improve the management quality for medical equipment in orthopedic department.Methods:In accordance with the combination of four stages of PDCA management and the six links(organization,tidying,cleaning,cleanliness,literacy and safety)of 6S management method,the medical equipment of orthopedic department was managed as stage by stage and link by link.Twelve using medical equipment in the orthopedic department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University were selected between 2022 and 2023.The management level between conventional management and management mode after the management mode of PDCA combined with 6S management mothed was implemented was compared,and the equipment fault and adverse event between within 87361 h before the management mode was used and within 87054 h after the management mode was used also were compared.The scores of satisfaction ratings of 15 medical staffs who involved in using equipment were investigated by using self-made questionnaire.Results:The scores of training assessment,regular maintenance,daily inspection,regular quality control and standardized use,and the total scores after used management mode of PDCA combined with 6S management method were respectively(18.87±0.66),(18.25±0.73),(18.74±0.69),(18.36±0.64),(18.89±0.54)and(92.11±4.20),all of which were higher than those before the management mode was implemented,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=5.047,3.301,3.396,3.191,3.107,6.170,P<0.05).The standby time due to equipment fault and fault rate within 87054 h of using equipment after the management mode was implemented were respectively 262h and 0.30%,all of which were lower than those before the management mode was implemented,and the differences of them were statistically significant(x2=52.876,P<0.05).The incidence of adverse events of 12 equipment was 0.00%after the management mode was implemented,which was lower than that before it was implemented,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=4.800,P<0.05).The scores of 15 medical staffs on the performance,cleanliness,maintenance,consuming and technical support of equipment,and the total scores were respectively(18.41±1.11),(18.35±1.05),(18.58±0.87),(18.26±1.00),(18.77±0.89)and(92.21±4.12)scores after the management mode was implemented,which were higher than those before it was implemented,and the differences were statistically significant(t=5.257,4.939,5.429,3.191,4.705,9.858,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of the management mode of PDCA combined with 6S management method in medical equipment management of orthopedic department can improve the management level for equipment,and reduce the incidences of equipment fault and adverse events in using equipment,and improve the satisfaction of medical staffs in using equipment.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their predictive efficacy for early postoperative infection in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 286 elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture admitted to Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital between August 2021 and August 2024, including 154 males and 132 females, aged 60-80 years [(72.5±5.8)years]. Fracture involved the left side in 148 patients and the right side in 138 patients. Internal fixation was performed on 214 patients and joint replacement on 72. Based on the occurrence of infection within two weeks postoperatively, the patients were divided into infection group ( n=25) and non-infection group ( n=261). Data were collected from the two groups, including basic information [gender, age, body mass index (BMI), cause of injury, fracture side], admission data (fasting blood glucose, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure), preoperative data [American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, AO classification, serum C-reactive protein (CRP), serum albumin (Alb), serum CRP/Alb ratio, time from injury to surgery], and treatment-related information (surgical type, duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, quality of intraoperative reduction, postoperative antibiotic use). Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis were used to identify independent risk factors for early postoperative infection in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each factor. Results:Univariate analysis showed significant differences between the two groups in fasting blood glucose on admission, preoperative serum CRP, preoperative serum Alb, preoperative serum CRP/Alb ratio, and duration of surgery ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the remaining variables ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic stepwise regression analysis indicated that fasting blood glucose on admission ( OR=2.65, 95% CI 1.32, 5.32, P<0.01), preoperative serum CRP ( OR=1.10, 95% CI 1.04, 1.18, P<0.01), preoperative serum Alb ( OR=0.79, 95% CI 0.70, 0.90, P<0.01), preoperative serum CRP/Alb ( OR=143.78, 95% CI 4.46, 46.77, P<0.01), and duration of surgery ( OR=1.07, 95% CI 1.02, 1.11, P<0.01) were significantly associated with early postoperative infection in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture. ROC curve analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of preoperative serum CRP/Alb in predicting early postoperative infection in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture were 88.00% and 88.10%, and that the AUC of preoperative serum CRP/Alb prediction was 0.92, significantly greater than the AUC predicted separately by fasting blood glucose at admission, preoperative serum CRP, preoperative serum Alb and duration of surgery (0.76, 0.75, 0.77, 0.76, respectively). The optimal cut-off value for the preoperative serum CRP/Alb ratio was 1.78. Conclusions:Fasting blood glucose on admission, preoperative serum CRP, Alb, CRP/Alb ratio, and duration of surgery are independent risk factors for early postoperative infection in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture. These factors all possess certain predictive value for early postoperative infection, but the preoperative serum CRP/Alb ratio demonstrates the best predictive efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) Measure in the Mandarin speaking population.Methods:From March to June 2018, patient interviews and expert consultations were conducted to explore problems of CARE in Mandarin context and preliminary revisions were made to the measure, then the final adapted tool was developed. A questionnaire survey on the validity of the measure was conducted from July to August 2018, among 373 patients from three community health service centers in Beijing Chaoyang District, selected by convenience sampling. The questionnaire included general information of participants and the revised CARE measure. The results of the survey were analyzed for the reliability and validity of Chinese version of CARE measure.Results:In the culture adaptation stage, 30 word-changes and 13 phrase-changes were made to improve the cultural adaptation of CARE. A total of 373 valid questionnaires were were collected with a valid recovery rate of 100.0%. The participants had a mean age of (60.8±13.12) years, with females of 68.6% (256/373), junior high school or high school education of 58.7% (219/373), and retirees of 71.3% (266/373). The results showed that there was a significant difference in scores of each item between the high group (top 27%) and the low group (bottom 27%) ( P<0.001). There was a positive correlation between each item and the total score, with a correlation coefficient between 0.817 and 0.868 ( P<0.001). The reliability analysis results show that the Cronbach′s α of the revised CARE was 0.960. In the content validity analysis, among the 10 items, the proportion of patients who considered the item "not applicable" was between 1.1% and 4.8%, and the proportion who considered the item "important" was between 92.8% and 96.2%. In exploratory factor analysis, KMO=0.944 and Bartlett′s sphericity test P<0.001. One common factor with an eigenvalue>1 was extracted, and the cumulative variance explained by which was 73.85%, with the load value of each item of 0.815-0.909. Conclusion:The revised Chinese version of CARE measure shows good reliability and validity and it can be applied in primary care settings for Mandarin speaking population.
