Objective To evaluate the clinical application of CT-guided coaxial needle biopsy in pancreatic puncture-cutting biopsy via adipose tissue space.Methods The clinical data of 30 patients,who received CT-guided pancreatic coaxial needle biopsy via adipose tissue space at the Pingdu Hospital Area of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University of China from June 2021 to April 2024,were retrospectively analyzed.The patients included 20 males and 10 females with a mean age of(65.1±8.7)years.The lesions were located in the pancreatic head(n=7),pancreatic neck(n=4),pancreatic body(n=7),pancreatic tail(n=10)and uncinate process(n=2).Under CT guidance,a 17 G co-axial guiding needle was inserted to establish a puncture pass through adipose tissue space,then an 18 G biopsy needle was used to make tissue sampling.A total of 32 procedures of pancreatic puncture-cutting biopsy were performed,two of these patients received two times of biopsy.After sampling,a self-made blocking agent(a mixed liquid of gelatin sponge particles and snake venom hemagglutinin),was used to occlude the puncture channel so as to prevent complications such as bleeding,pancreatic leakage,needle tract implantation metastasis,etc.Results A total of 32 procedures of pancreatic puncture-cutting biopsy with coaxial guiding needle via adipose tissue space were performed,including two patients who received two times of biopsy.The success rate of puncturing was 100％(32/32),the success rate of sampling was 93.8％(30/32),and the accuracy of sampling was 93.8％(30/32).No serious puncture-related complications occurred in all patients.Conclusion CT-guided pancreatic coaxial needle biopsy via adipose tissue space is clinically safe,accurate in sampling and minimally-invasive.This interventional diagnostic technique is worth applying in clinical practice.

Objective:To develop a nomogram model based on the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) -to-platelet ratio (NLR-GPR) score to predict the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hepatectomy.Methods:Clinical data of 284 patients with HCC who underwent curative resection at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between January 2012 and September 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 235 males and 49 females, aged 57(51, 65) years. Clinical data, including gender, age, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, GGT, and total bilirubin, were collected. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to assess the relationship between the preoperative NLR-GPR score and patient disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). A nomogram was constructed based on the results of the multivariate analysis. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between groups were evaluated using the log-rank test. The performance of the model was assessed by the concordance index (C-index).Results:The NLR-GPR score was found to be negatively correlated with both DFS and OS (both P<0.05), where a higher score indicated a poorer prognosis. Multivariate analysis identified the NLR-GPR score as an independent risk factor for both DFS ( HR=1.463, 95% CI: 1.135-1.887, P=0.003) and OS ( HR=1.734, 95% CI: 1.300-2.313, P<0.001). A nomogram was deve-loped based on the variables selected from the multivariate Cox regression analysis, including postoperative pleural effusion, AJCC stage, vascular invasion, and the NLR-GPR score. This nomogram demonstrated good predictive accuracy, with C-indices for DFS and OS of 0.676 and 0.726, respectively. Conclusion:The nomogram model, constructed based on the preoperative NLR-GPR score and relevant clinicopathological factors, can effectively predict the postoperative survival of patients with HCC undergoing hepatectomy.

To summarize the clinical practice of continuous medical service for patients at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from September 2023 to December 2024, following the approval of its extended care qualification. This study utilized a mixed-methods research design that integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative study included a total of 117 subjects, with an age range of 18 to 35 years, an average age of 21.56 years, and a median age of 19 years; there were 59 males and 58 females. The disease types covered four major categories: childhood leukemia and solid tumors (68 cases), congenital structural malformations (25 cases), congenital hereditary metabolic diseases (4 cases), and rare diseases (20 cases). Among the subjects, 57.26% (67 cases) were first-time visitors to SCMC. The patients came from 20 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, with 88.03% (103 cases) from outside Shanghai. The treatment outcomes showed improvement or cure in 80.34% (94 cases) of the subjects, and there were no medical complaints. In addition, a qualitative study was conducted to deeply explore the experiences, confusions, and challenges of receiving or implementing continuous medical services from the perspectives of patients and their families, as well as medical staff. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 44 subjects were included in the study, among them, there were 12 patients, 12 family members who were taking care of the patients in SCMC, and 20 corresponding medical staff members. The results of the qualitative study showed that trust in the attending physicians of the children′s specialty hospital, a good doctor-patient relationship, satisfactory treatment outcomes, and support from medical insurance policies are the main driving forces for patients over 18 years old to receive continuous treatment at children′s specialty hospitals. The medical staff of the hospital also believed that this model can promote patient benefits. In conclusion, under the policy support of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, the "Six Fixed" Model for continuous treatment established by SCMC has achieved certain positive results in practice. This provides practical references for the development of continuous treatment in China and offers new strategies for the application of preventive medicine in the field of children′s health.

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of Huidu Yinhua powder from the Orthodox Manual of External Medicine on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),virulence factor α-hemolysin(Hla)activity,and biofilm formation,and to explore the optimal ratios of Huidu Yinhua powder and provide experimental support for its use.Methods The inhibitory effects of Huidu Yinhua powder and the herbs in the formula on USA300 were analyzed by the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC),minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC),and disk diffusion assay(K-B method).Hemolysis,neutralization,oligomerization,and Western blot assays were used to verify in which form the drug inhibits the activity of virulence factor α-hemolysin(Hla).A biofilm assay was performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Huidu Yinhua powder on biofilm.Orthogonal experiments were performed to explore the optimal ratio of Huidu Yinhua powder.Results Huidu Yinhua powder inhibited the MRSA strain with a MIC90 of 64 mg/mL and an MBC of 256 mg/mL with antibacterial circle diameter of(7.50±0.50)mm.Huidu Yinhua powder inhibited Hla activity by inhibiting Hla secretion.The minimum effective concentration(MEC)was 16 mg/mL,and the MEC of biofilm was 8 mg/mL.In Huidu Yinhua powder,honeysuckle and astragalus only affected the hemolytic activity of MRSA and biofilm formation without inhibiting bacterial growth.The hemolytic activity and biofilm of MEC were both 32 mg/mL.Glycyrrhiza had a strong bacterial inhibitory capacity with a MIC90 of 8 mg/mL and biofilm MEC of 1 mg/mL without showing inhibitory hemolytic activity at subinhibitory concentrations.The orthogonal experiment showed that,at a ratio of honeysuckle,astragalus,and glycyrrhiza in Huidu Yinhua powder of 1∶2∶4,the MIC90 was 16 mg/mL,MEC of hemolytic activity was 8 mg/mL and that of biofilm was 4 mg/mL,both of which were the lowest among the nine groups.Conclusions Huidu Yinhua powder affects the hemolytic activity and biofilm formation of MRSA at subinhibitory concentrations with the optimal ratio of honeysuckle,astragalus,and glycyrrhiza being 1∶2∶4.

Objective To construct an evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing deep vein thrombosis(DVT)and provide a scientific and targeted theoretical basis for nurses to carry out evidence-based nursing practice in DVT prevention.Methods Based on the previous evidence-based nursing practice project on DVT prevention after hip and knee arthroplasty,the research team used theoretical analysis and brainstorming to develop a draft of the work model.Expert meetings were organized to validate the content of the draft using the Delphi method,leading to the finalization of the evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing DVT.Results The Knowledge-to-Action(KTA)framework was selected as the basic framework for constructing the evidence-based nursing practice model for preventing DVT.Theoretical Domain Framework,Theory of Planned Behavior,and Social Cognitive Theory were chosen to explore the influencing factors of nurses'behavior change in preventing DVT through evidence-based practice.The authority coefficient of the participating experts was 0.904,indicating high reliability.The final model consisted of 6 key components:knowledge generation,problem identification,localization and adaptation,knowledge application,sustained knowledge use,and conceptual framework for behavior change through evidence-based practice.Conclusion Based on theoretical analysis and clinical practice,this study developed an evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing DVT using the expert meeting.The research methodology was scientific,and the content was reliable,providing a theoretical basis for nurses to engage in evidence-based nursing practice for DVT prevention.

Objective To identify the risk factors of patients with frequent acute exacerbations of chro-nic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)and construct a prediction model based on the clinical data,provi-ding a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment.Methods A total of 25 638 COPD patients ad-mitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine,the Third People's Hospital of Chengdu from January 1,2013 to May 1,2023 were selected.Among them,11 315 patients were included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and their clinical characteristics were analyzed.Multivariate Logistic regression was carried out to identify the risk factors for frequent AECOPD.A nomogram model was utilized to quantify the risk of acute exacerbation,and the performance of the prediction model was assessed based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results In the patients with frequent AECOPD,male percentage(P＜0.001),age(P＜0.001),urban residence(P＜0.001),smoking(P＜0.001),length of stay(P＜0.001),total cost(P＜0.001),antibiotic cost(P＜0.001),diabetes(P=0.003),respiratory failure(P＜0.001),heart disease(P＜0.001),application of systemic glucocorticoids(P＜0.001),white blood cell count(P＜0.001),neutrophil percentage(P＜0.001),C-reactive protein(P＜0.001),total cholesterol(P＜0.001),and brain natriuretic peptide(BNP)(P＜0.001)were all higher than those in the patients with infre-quent AECOPD.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that age,urban residence,smoking,diabe-tes,heart disease,Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection,application of systemic glucocorticoids,antibiotics,re-spiratory failure,and elevated white blood cell count,total cholesterol,and BNP were independent risk factors for hospitalization due to frequent AECOPD.A nomogram model of hospitalization due to frequent AECOPD was constructed according to risk factors.The ROC curve was established to evaluate the performance of the model,which showed the area under the ROC curve of 0.899(95％CI=0.892-0.905),the sensitivity of 85.30％,and the specificity of 79.80％.Conclusions Frequent AECOPD is associated with smoking,heart disease,ap-plication of systemic glucocorticoids,Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection,age,low body mass index,and elevat-ed BNP.Predicting the risks of hospitalization due to frequent AECOPD by the established model can provide the-oretical support for the treatment and risk factor management of the patients.
