Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by impaired neuromuscular transmission. Thymectomy is one of the therapeutic options for acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive myasthenia gravis patients. The quality of perioperative care is directly associated with surgical safety and patient outcomes. However, there is currently a lack of specialized nursing consensus or guidelines specifically addressing the care of these patients domestically or internationally. To promote the standardization and normalization of perioperative nursing care for myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy and to ensure treatment efficacy, a panel of 57 experts from relevant fields was convened. Based on evidence-based medicine and clinical practice experience, discussions were held on various aspects including condition assessment, nutritional support, medication management, and airway care, resulting in a consensus with 18 final recommendations by using the Delphi method through two rounds of expert consultation. This consensus aims to provide a scientific reference for the perioperative nursing care of myasthenia gravis patients undergoing thymectomy.

【Objective】 To study the safety, effectiveness and nursing of blood/fluid warmer during the process of plateletpheresis in winter. 【Methods】 The blood re-transfusion speed during plateletpheresis in winter and the time of blood passing through the blood return pipeline was counted. The vitro blood was heated with a blood/fluid warmer under different temperature settings, and the rising speed of blood temperature was recorded. The blood samples were tested for blood routine examination, free Hb and erythrocyte morphology at 0, 15 and 30 minutes. In the process of plateletpheresis in winter, the blood donors′ ear temperature and the skin temperature near the reinfusion needle in the observation group and the controls were measured, and the blood donors were observed for shivering, arm chills, pain or other discomfort. After the blood donation, the thermal comfort was evaluated. 【Results】 There was no difference in the results of routine blood test and plasma free Hb test of vitro blood after warming at 41℃, 42℃ and 43℃ for 0, 15 and 30 minutes (P>0.05), and no change in erythrocyte morphology was found. The skin temperature near the reinfusion needle (before vs. after the start of phlebotomy) was statistically different by applying blood/fluid warmer or not(P<0.05), and no difference in the temperature between the start and end of phlebotomy was observed in the observation group(P>0.05). The vitro blood heating experiment showed that when the room temperature was within 22~24℃, the blood retransfusion speed was (100-120) mL/min; after the application of blood/fluid warmer, the temperature of reinfusion blood could be raised from 27℃ to 33~37℃. The proportion of feeling comfortable and very comfortable and the score of thermal comfort in the blood donors who used the warmer were higher than those in the controls (P<0.05). When the temperature of the warmer was set above 38℃, the average score of thermal comfort of blood donors was above 8. 【Conclusion】 It is safe to apply the blood/fluid warmer during the plateletsapheresis in winter, which can significantly improve the comfort of blood donors and reflect the humanized service of blood stations, and is worth popularizing.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) for acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis (AOSC) in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of AOSC patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2018 to January 2020. Patients aged 75 years and over ( n=49) were assigned to the elderly group and patients under 75 years old were assigned to the control group ( n=63). General data, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, procedure-related indicators, incidence of postoperative complications and mortality were compared. Results:There were significant differences in age (82.6±5.1 years VS 64.6±4.5 years, t=19.98, P<0.001), albumin levels (29.1±5.9 g/L VS 34.6±8.8 g/L, t=-3.94, P<0.001) and ASA grade ( χ2=8.37, P=0.015) in the elderly group and the control group . The elderly group were accompanied by more basic diseases, i.e. hypertension [57.14% (28/49) VS 34.9% (22/63), χ2=5.51, P=0.019], coronary heart disease [55.1% (27/49) VS 27.0% (17/63), χ2=9.14, P=0.003], chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases/asthma [24.5% (12/49) VS 6.3% (4/63), χ2=7.41, P=0.006]. There were no significant differences in the operation time (31.4±8.1 min VS 30.4±8.0 min, t=-0.61, P=0.543) or hospital stay (6.1±1.7 days VS 5.7±1.4 days, t=1.35, P=0.182). The incidences of postoperative complications were 14.3% (7/49) in the elderly group and 12.7% (8/63) in the control group, showing no significant difference ( χ2=0.06, P=0.807). No ERBD-related death was observed in either group during hospital stay. Conclusion:For elderly patients with AOSC over 75 years old, emergency ERBD, which can quickly relieve the disease, is safe and effective. Advanced age is not an absolute contraindication for emergency ERBD.

ObjectiveTo explore the anhedonia level and its relationship with cognitive function in patients with first-episode psychosis, and to analyze the influencing factors of cognitive function. MethodsA total of 143 first-episode psychiatric patients who met the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) in the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from December 2016 to March 2019 were selected. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate the patient’s psychiatric symptoms, in which N2 (emotional withdrawal) and N4 (passive/apathetic social withdrawal) were used to assess the anhedonia level, and patients whose (N2+N4) scores beyond 4 were classified into anhedonia group, and those with (N2+N4) scores less than or equal to 4 were classified into non-anhedonia group. Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item (HAMD-24) was used to measure the depressive symptoms, and the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) was used to detect cognitive function. Then the clinical symptoms and cognitive function of two groups were compared, and the influencing factors of cognitive function were screened by multiple linear regression analysis. ResultsThe negative symptom score, general pathological symptom score and total score of PANSS in anhedonia group were significantly higher than those of non-anhedonia group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). The score of working memory in adolescent subgroup, the scores of information processing speed, attention/alertness and vocabulary learning in adult subgroup of anhedonia group were lower than those of non-anhedonia group, with statistical difference (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the anhedonia score and the duration of untreated psychosis were the influencing factors of working memory in adolescent subgroup (P<0.05). ConclusionPatients with high levels of anhedonia suffer more severe mental symptoms and cognitive impairment, moreover, anhedonia is one of the influencing factors of working memory in adolescents.

Objective:To set up an effective and simple purification method to obtain highly purified prokaryotic protein of PDCD5 and study its stability. Methods:Recombinant PDCD5 protein expressed in E. coli was accumulated as an inclusion body. After washing, the inclusion body was denatured, renatured, digested with thrombine and then purified by two steps of chromatography. The purity of the products was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis and the stability was identified by SDS-PAGE. Results:Capillary electrophoresis showed that the purity of protein was 100%, and molecular weight was 15 800 with pI 5.9. Further bioactivity assay indicated that the purified PDCD5 could enhance the apoptosis of HL 60 cells withdrawing cytokine, which was in a dose dependent manner. Stability analysis showed that the PDCD5 protein was sensitive to temperature and easy to degrade at 4 ℃ and 25 ℃. However, it was relatively stable at -20 ℃ or lyophilized. Conclusion:Highly purified and stable recombinant PDCD5 protein was obtained, which lays a foundation for the functional study and application investigation of PDCD5 .
