Objective:To develop the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the theory of unpleasant symptoms, a preliminary version of the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy was developed through literature analysis, semi-structured interviews, and the Delphi method. After revising certain items in the pre-survey, convenience sampling was used to select patients who underwent bladder instillation chemotherapy in the Department of Urology Surgery of three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Yunnan Province from January to July 2024 as research subjects to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:A total of 168 questionnaires were distributed, and 162 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.429% (162/168). The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy covered two areas of symptom severity and symptom distress, comprising five dimensions and 27 items. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the total scale was 0.953, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.806. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the four common factors for symptom severity contributed to 73.196% of the cumulative variance, while the single common factor for symptom distress accounted for 68.285% of the cumulative variance. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that all indicators met the fit criteria, indicating that the model possessed good goodness-of-fit. The content validity index at the scale level was 0.940, while the content validity index at the item level ranged from 0.833 to 1.000.Conclusions:The Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing Bladder Irrigation Chemotherapy developed in this study demonstrates good reliability and validity, and is suitable for evaluating symptoms in patients undergoing bladder infusion chemotherapy.

Objective In this study,the potential profile characteristics of exercise self-efficacy of patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)were explored,and the influencing factors of different types of patients were an-alyzed,so as to provide a reference for nurses to formulate standardized management measures.Methods From June 2023 to May 2024,a total of 342 hospitalized patients with IBD in tertiary A hospital in Wuxi were recruited as research subjects by a convenience sampling method.The General Information Questionnaire,Exercise Self-effica-cy Scale,Exercise Behavioral Stage Distribution Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used for investiga-tion.The latent profile analysis was conducted to classify exercise self-efficacy levels,while multiple Logistic regres-sion analysis was utilized to evaluate the influencing factors.Results A total of 320 valid questionnaires were col-lected,and the effective questionnaire recovery rate was 93.57％.The total score of exercise self-efficacy for IBD pa-tients was(64.61±14.83)points.The exercise self-efficacy was classified into 3 latent categories:low efficacy-somatic emotion group(n=64,20.00％),medium efficacy-work conflict group(n=158,49.38％),and high efficacy-social interfer-ence group(n=98,30.62％).Occupation,recurrence times,comorbid chronic diseases,self-assessed economic pressure,and social support level were found to be influencing factors of the latent profile classification of exercise self-effi-cacy in IBD patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of exercise self-efficacy of patients with IBD are significant-ly heterogeneous,and there are several important influencing factors.Nursing staff should formulate targeted inter-vention strategies based on the characteristics of exercise self-efficacy in such patients,so as to improve patients' exercise self-efficacy and the effectiveness of disease rehabilitation.

The Department of Thoracic Surgery of Shanghai Chest Hospital has performed esophageal function testing for over 30 years, being the only department of its kind in China with this capability. The pressure testing and 24-hour pH/impedance monitoring of the esophagus is of great help to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant esophageal diseases related to it. Thanks to the esophageal function test, in addition to the routine various endoscopic anti-reflux procedures, our hospital has taken the lead in China in recent years to carry out a series of clinical and research work for benign esophageal diseases, such as the development of magnetic ring, double nedoscopic combination and new anti-reflux endoscopic techniques. In recent years, we have carried out high-resolution esophageal manometry and 24-hour pH/impedance monitoring for patients with interstitial pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis suspected to be caused by gastroesophageal acid reflux. We can better assess the correlation between gastroesophageal reflux and pulmonary fibrosis, and to provide the different clinical treatments and even surgical interventions. The Bravo capsule is used more often in the United States, and it has obvious advantages over traditional approach for acid measurement. We strongly call for the collaboration between industry and academic institutions in this field, and the development of our own related products with independent intellectual property rights.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types of thalassemia in pregnancy and to explore the medication rules of Chinese medicine for its treatment by data mining methods.Methods From February 2022 to February 2024,we collected the case records of pregnant women with thalassemia who were effectively treated with Chinese medicine compound in the outpatient clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.The TCM syndrome types and medication rules of Chinese medicine were analyzed by using data mining methods such as frequency analysis,association rule analysis,and clustering analysis.Results The results of analysis of TCM syndrome types showed that pregnant women with thalassemia were frequently differentiated as qideficiency syndrome.A total of 64 prescriptions were included in this study,including 51 Chinese herbal medicines.The high-frequency Chinese herbal medicines used more than 35 times were Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma(Baizhu),Codonopsis Radix(Dangshen),Poria(Fuling),Astragali Radix(Huangqi),Dioscoreae Rhizoma(Shanyao),Asini Corii Colla(Ej iao),Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle(Zhigancao).The Chinese herbal medicine used in these prescriptions were mainly sweet and mild in nature,usually had the meridian tropism of spleen meridian and lung meridian,and had the main therapeutic action for preventing miscarriage.The analysis of association rules showed that"Dangshen-Baizhu","Fuling-Dangshen,Baizhu",and"Huangqi-Fuling,Dangshen,Baizhu"were the core Chinese herbal medicine combinations.The cluster analysis yielded a total of five groups of clustered Chinese herbal medicines.Conclusion Pregnant women with thalassemia are frequently differentiated as qi deficiency syndrome.The treatment of thalassemia in pregnancy with Chinese herbal medicine follows the principle of reinforcement of both qiand blood,simultaneous treatment of the heart and spleen,and nourishing without stagnation.Chinese herbal medicines for the treatment are usually mild and sweet,and the prescriptions are formulated usually based on the modification of Bazhen Decoction or Guipi Decoction for tonification,together with the herbs for separately expelling the internal pathogens of deficiency-heat,water-dampness and blood stasis,and the external pathogen of wind,cold,dampness and heat,thus to ensure the safety of the mother and the fetus.

BACKGROUND:Exosomes play a role in all stages of wound repair,and there is currently a large body of research on exosomes in skin wound repair,which has been shown to have great potential for clinical applications. OBJECTIVE:To summarize and discuss the main mechanisms and clinical applications of exosomes in the treatment of skin wounds,in order to promote the clinical translation of exosomes. METHODS:PubMed,clinicaltrials.gov,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Food and Drug Administration database,and Chinese Clinical Trial Register were searched from inception to March 2023.The English search terms were"exosomes,wound healing,stem cells,chronic wound,immunoregulation,inflammation,skin,therapeutic use,isolation,characterization,infections".The Chinese search terms were"exosomes,wound healing,stem cells,immunomodulation,clinical applications".A total of 79 articles were included for the summary. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Exosomes can improve and accelerate wound healing through inflammation regulation,immune protection,angiogenesis,cell proliferation and migration,and collagen remodeling.(2)Exosomes derived from stem cells have mature preparation techniques and related mechanism research,which is currently the mainstream research direction.Non-stem cell-derived exosomes have the advantages of convenience,economy,and easy production,and can be used as a supplement for clinical applications.(3)The clinical application of exosomes is still in its infancy,but has great potential for application.Various exosome modification techniques have laid the foundation for the future development of clinically personalized services and require further research.(4)The clinical translation of exosomes faces many challenges,such as low yield,high heterogeneity,lack of unified standards for isolation,purification,and quality control,and difficulties in storage.

Objective:To evaluate myocardial microcirculation perfusion with myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) in patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and to explore the prognostic value of different types of myocardial microcirculation perfusion.Methods:This is a prospective cohort study. Patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent successful PCI in Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University and Kanghua Hospital of Dongguan City from October 2019 to June 2021 were selected. All the enrolled patients completed MCE examination within 72 hours after PCI. According to the examination results, the patients were divided into normal microcirculation perfusion group, delayed microcirculation perfusion group, and blocked microcirculation perfusion group. Adverse cardiovascular events including all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and angina re-hospitalization were followed up, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) review results were collected at six months to one year after surgery. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to investigate the difference in the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in different myocardial perfusion groups, and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the effect of myocardial perfusion on adverse cardiovascular events.Results:A total of 113 patients with acute myocardial infarction were included, aged (56.3±11.5) years, with 88(78%) males. There were 31 cases in the normal microcirculation perfusion group, 43 cases in the delayed microcirculation perfusion group and 39 cases in the blocked microcirculation perfusion group. LVEF was reviewed in 49 patients, and LVEF in the delayed microcirculation perfusion group was significantly improved compared with baseline at follow-up ((63.3±1.2) % vs. (58.6±1.8) %, P=0.043), and there was no statistically significant difference between the other two groups (all P>0.05). The median follow-up time was 473 days, during follow-up period 30 adverse cardiovascular events occurred. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events among the three groups ( Plog-rank=0.029). Cox regression analysis showed that abnormal microcirculation perfusion (defined as delayed and blocked microcirculation perfusion) was an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI ( HR=1.90, 95% CI1.16-3.12, P=0.011). Conclusions:Microcirculatory perfusion decrease or lost is common in patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI. Timely restoration of blood flow reconstruction can save heart function when microcirculatory perfusion decreases. Microcirculatory perfusion is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and patients with poor myocardial perfusion are more likely to experience adverse cardiovascular events.
