Objective:To develop the Self-management Behavior Questionnaire for Middle-aged and Young Patients with Myocardial Infarction and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Using social cognitive theory, self-efficacy theory, and self-management theory as theoretical frameworks, a preliminary questionnaire was formed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, and Delphi expert consultation. Convenience sampling was used to select middle-aged and young patients with myocardial infarction from the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine, Henan Provincial Chest Hospital, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June to July 2022 for investigation, and item analysis and exploratory factor analysis of the questionnaire were conducted. From August to November 2022, middle-aged and young patients with myocardial infarction from the Heart Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine were selected for investigation, and confirmatory factor analysis and reliability testing of the questionnaire were conducted.Results:A total of 300 and 480 questionnaires were distributed, respectively, and 280 and 468 valid questionnaires were collected, with effective response rates of 93.33% (280/300) and 97.50% (468/480), respectively. The Self-management Behavior Questionnaire for Middle-aged and Young Patients with Myocardial Infarction included 31 items. The total Cronbach 's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.918, the half reliability coefficient was 0.853, and the retest reliability coefficient was 0.975. The content validity index of the questionnaire level was 0.965, and the content validity index of the item level was 0.830 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted 6 common factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 69.795%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fitted well and the questionnaire factor structure was stable. Conclusions:The Self-management Behavior Questionnaire for Middle-aged and Young Patients with Myocardial Infarction developed in this study has good reliability and validity, which can provide references for medical and nursing staff to evaluate the self-management behavior of middle-aged and young patients with myocardial infarction.

At present, the incidence of chronic heart failure in China remains high, with a high incidence among the elderly. Palliative care model can actively improve patient prognosis and enhance their quality of life. Affected by factors such as transportation and economic costs, patients and caregivers tend to prefer the home based palliative care model. This paper reviews the application of the home based palliative care model in patients with chronic heart failure both domestically and internationally, including the concepts of chronic heart failure and palliative care, the status of home based palliative care models for patients with chronic heart failure, the needs, significance, existing problems of home based palliative care, and proposes development suggestions, aiming to promote the development of the home based palliative care model in China.

Objective:Using real-world data to analyze whether the administration of carbapenems within 7 days before the treatment or during the treatment will reduce the effectiveness of sodium valproate in patients with status epilepticus (SE) and seizure clusters (SC).Methods:The clinical data of SE and SC patients who received intravenous administration of sodium valproate in the Department of Emergency of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2017 to 2021 were collected. The main endpoint was the failure to terminate epileptic seizures after sodium valproate injection. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze whether the carbapenems was an independent risk factor for the failure of sodium valproate treatment.Results:Finally, 142 SE patients and 181 SC patients were included. Univariate analysis revealed that the use of carbapenems within 7 days before or during the treatment was a risk factor for the failure of sodium valproate treatment in SC patients (χ 2=5.498, P=0.019), but was not a risk factor for the failure of sodium valproate treatment in SE patients (χ 2=3.015, P=0.082). Through multiple factor analysis, it was found that the use of carbapenems was an independent risk factor for the seizures not terminatd by sodium valproate in SC patients ( OR=3.462, 95% CI 1.180-10.157); the interval between onset and medication≥4 hours increased the risk of sodium valproate treatment failure in SE patients ( OR=4.591, 95% CI 1.443-14.607); simultaneously using benzodiazepines could reduce the risk of sodium valproate treatment failure in SE patients ( OR=0.300, 95% CI 0.128-0.703). Conclusions:The use of carbapenems by SC patients within 7 days before or during treatment may lead to the failure of sodium valproate treatment. In clinical practice, the use of sodium valproate as a medication to terminate seizures in SC patients can be determined based on their medication records.

Objective:To report the long-term outcomes of Chinese rectal cancer patients after adopting a Watch and Wait (W&W) strategy following neoadjuvant therapy (NAT).Methods:This multicenter, cross-sectional study was based on real-world data. The study cohort comprised rectal cancer patients who had achieved complete or near complete clinical responses (cCRs, near-cCRs) after NAT and were thereafter managed by a W&W approach, as well as a few patients who had achieved good responses after NAT and had then undergone local excision for confirmation of pathological complete response. All participants had been followed up for ≥2 years. Patients with distant metastases at baseline or who opted for observation while living with the tumor were excluded. Data of eligible patients were retrospectively collected from the Chinese Wait-and-Watch Data Collaboration Group database. These included baseline characteristics, type of NAT, pre-treatment imaging results, evaluation of post-NAT efficacy, salvage measures, and treatment outcomes. We herein report the long-term outcomes of Chinese rectal cancer patients after NAT and W&W and the differences between the cCR and near-cCR groups.Results:Clinical data of 318 rectal cancer patients who had undergone W&W for over 2 years and been followed up were collected from eight medical centers (Peking University Cancer Hospital, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Liaoning Cancer Hospital, the First Hospital of Jilin University, and Yunnan Cancer Hospital.) The participants comprised 221 men (69.4%) and 107 women (30.6%) of median age 60 (26-86) years. The median distance between tumor and anal verge was 3.4 (0-10.4) cm. Of these patients, 291 and 27 had achieved cCR or near-cCR, respectively, after NAT. The median duration of follow-up was 48.4 (10.2-110.3) months. The 5-year cumulative overall survival rate was 92.4% (95%CI: 86.8%-95.7%), 5-year cumulative disease-specific survival (CSS) rate 96.6% (95%CI: 92.2%-98.5%), 5-year cumulative organ-preserving disease-free survival rate 86.6% (95%CI: 81.0%-90.7%), and 5-year organ preservation rate 85.3% (95%CI: 80.3%-89.1%). The overall 5-year local recurrence and distant metastasis rates were 18.5% (95%CI: 14.9%-20.8%) and 8.2% (95%CI: 5.4%-12.5%), respectively. Most local recurrences (82.1%, 46/56) occurred within 2 years, and 91.0% (51/56) occurred within 3 years, the median time to recurrence being 11.7 (2.5-66.6) months. Most (91.1%, 51/56) local recurrences occurred within the intestinal lumen. Distant metastases developed in 23 patients; 60.9% (14/23) occurred within 2 years and 73.9% (17/23) within 3 years, the median time to distant metastasis being 21.9 (2.6-90.3) months. Common sites included lung (15/23, 65.2%), liver (6/23, 26.1%), and bone (7/23, 30.4%) The metastases involved single organs in 17 patients and multiple organs in six. There were no significant differences in overall, cumulative disease-specific, or organ-preserving disease-free survival or rate of metastases between the two groups (all P>0.05). The 5-year local recurrence rate was higher in the near-cCR than in the cCR group (41.6% vs. 16.4%, P<0.01), with a lower organ preservation rate (69.2% vs. 88.0%, P<0.001). The success rates of salvage after local recurrence and distant metastasis were 82.1% (46/56) and 13.0% (3/23), respectively. Conclusion:Rectal cancer patients who achieve cCR or near-cCR after NAT and undergo W&W have favorable oncological outcomes and a high rate of organ preservation. Local recurrence and distant metastasis during W&W follow certain patterns, with a relatively high salvage rate for local recurrence. Our findings highlight the importance of close follow-up and timely intervention during the W&W process.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

After experiencing acute cardiac adverse events,the patients with heart disease often have an excessive fear of exercise due to fear of pain or reinjury,and avoid exercise training,resulting in a high inci-dence of exercise fear.However,excessive avoidance of exercise training by patients is likely to result in poor prognosis outcome.The latest research confirms that cardiac rehabilitation can effectively reduce the level of exercise fear in the patients with heart disease.Therefore,this article reviews the research progress on cardiac rehabilitation reducing the exercise fear in the patients with heart disease to provide reference for future re-search on the cardiac rehabilitation in treating the exercise fear of the patients with heart disease in our coun-try.

Local recurrence and distant metastasis during W&W follow certain patterns, with a relatively high salvage rate for local recurrence. Our findings highlight the importance of close follow-up and timely intervention during the W&W process.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of cone-beam CT(CBCT)by measuring tongue thickness(TT)in predicting difficult glottis exposure in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery.Methods Ninety-seven patients undergoing elective maxillofacial surgery under general anesthesia were selected,45 males and 52 females,aged 18-67 years,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ.The TT was measured by CBCT before operation.The inter-incisor distance(IID),BMI,thyromental distance(TMD),and modified Mal-lampati test(MMT)were also recorded.According to the Cormack-Lehane(CL)grade at the time of gener-al anesthesia induction,the patients were divided into two groups:the easy laryngoscope exposure group(group E,CL gradeⅠorⅡ,n = 86)and the difficult laryngoscope exposure group(group D,CL gradeⅢ or Ⅳ,n = 11).The relationship between IID,BMI,TMD,MMT,TT,and laryngoscopy exposure was analyzed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the relationship be-tween each index and difficult laryngoscopy exposure.Results Compared with group E,the BMI,MMT,and TT of group D were significantly increased(P＜0.05),while the TMD was significantly decreased(P＜0.05).The area under the ROC curve(AUC)of BMI,TMD,MMT,and TT to predict difficult glot-tis exposure was 0.690,0.714,0.726,and 0.797,the sensitivity was 36.4%,63.6%,63.6%,and 81.8%,and the specificity was 95.3%,69.8%,76.7%,and 68.6%,respectively.Using BMI,MMT,TMD,and TT as a model to predict difficult glottis exposure,the AUC was 0.913,the sensitivity was 90.9%and the specificity was 83.7%.Conclusion TT measured by CBCT is an independent impact factor for predicting difficult laryngoscope exposure.The comprehensive model incorporating BMI,TMD,MMT,and TT has a better predictive effect.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.

Objective:To explore the status quo of exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide evidence for improving the compliance of rehabilitation exercise in CABG patients.Methods:From January to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 228 patients with CABG in three ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Urumqi City as the survey subject. One month after surgery, a questionnaire survey was conducted using the General Information and Disease Information Questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Rehabilitation Exercises (QRE), the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia for the Heart (TSK Heart), and the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF-C). This study conducted a latent category analysis of rehabilitation exercise attitudes and compliance among CABG patients, and identified the influencing factors of their latent categories through Logistic regression. A total of 220 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 96.49% (220/228) .Results:The fitting results of latent category analysis showed that the rehabilitation exercise attitudes and compliance of 220 CABG patients could be divided into 4 latent categories, which were respectively named as: excellent attitude-excellent compliance group, good attitude-single exercise group, moderate attitude-poor compliance group, poor attitude-poor compliance group. Logistic regression showed that education level, nationality, pain, exercise fear and fatigue were independent influencing factors for the latent categories of exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in CABG patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Postoperative exercise rehabilitation attitudes and compliance in CABG patients have 4 latent categories, and patient education level, nationality, pain, exercise fear and fatigue are all factors that affect compliance. Medical and nursing workers should formulate targeted interventions based on influencing factors to improve the compliance of exercise rehabilitation in patients with CABG.
