Objective Based on the sampling test of national drugs,the quality of Huatan Pingchuan tablets was systematically evaluated,and the quality problems were analyzed to provide references and suggestions for the quality control of this variety and to improve its quality standard.Methods A total of 157 batches of samples were tested according to the statutory standard,and based on the testing results and prescription characteristics,microscopic identification and comprehensive analysis of its quality using thin-layer chromatography,high-performance liquid chromatography,and other methods were subsequently established or improved for the exploratory research.Results The established thin-layer chromatography identification for Radix Scutellariae,as well as the content determination methods for Radix Scutellariae,Syringae Cortex,and promethazine hydrochloride,are easy to operate and have good durability and specificity and can be applied to the quality control and evaluation of Huatan Pingchuan tablets.Conclusions The overall quality of the tablets is average;some enterprises should strengthen the quality control of raw medicinal materials(decoction pieces);individual enterprises have significant differences in the quality of samples from different batches,so they need to pay attention to the quality of raw materials and the stability of production processes;the inspection items of the current standards cannot fully reflect the key quality attributes of drugs,and standards improvement work needs to be carried out.

Objective:Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in critically ill patients.Methods:A total of 220 critically ill patients who were admitted to Intensive Care Unit, The First Hospital of Jiaxing from January 2020 to January 2022 were included in this study. The incidence of ICU-AW was recorded. Univariate analysis was conducted to investigate the factors related to ICU-AW, while multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for ICU-AW in critically ill patients.Results:Among the 220 critically ill patients, 64 developed ICU-AW, resulting in an incidence of 29.1% (64/220). There were no significant differences in sex, age, history of alcoholism, history of smoking, marital status, hypertension, diabetes, or use of glucocorticoid (methylprednisolone sodium succinate for injection) between the ICU-AW group and the non-ICU-AW group (all P > 0.05). The proportion of patients with sepsis in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [46.9% (30/64) vs. 15.4% (24/156)]. The proportion of patients who were immobilized in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [89.1% (37/64) vs. 64.1% (100/156)]. The use of nerve blocker (vecuronium bromide for injection) was more prevalent in the ICU-AW group than that in the non-ICU-AW group [57.8% (37/64) vs. 23.1% (36/156)]. The Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [16 (11, 23) vs. 12 (8, 17)]. The duration of mechanical ventilation in the ICU-AW group was longer than that in the non-ICU-AW group [8 (4, 13) days vs. 4 (3, 6) days]. The length of hospital stay in the ICU-AW group was longer than that in the non-ICU-AW group [10 (7, 17) days vs. 7 (5, 11) days]. The blood lactate level in the ICU-AW group was higher than that in the non-ICU-AW group [2 (1, 2) mmol/L vs. 1 (1, 2) mmol/L]. All differences were statistically significant ( χ2 = 24.30, 13.83, 24.70, Z = 3.83, 4.59, 3.97, 2.70, all P < 0.05). The results of the univariate analysis, when included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis, showed that sepsis, immobilization, duration of mechanical ventilation, blood lactate level, and Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ score were independent risk factors for ICU-AW (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The incidence of ICU-AW is high and the risk factors for ICU-AW are complex. Therefore, targeted control of high-risk factors should be actively performed to prevent and treat ICU-AW.

Objective:To investigate the status of development and application of information system of central sterile supply department(CSSD)in hospitals of China,so as to provide references for the promotion of CSSD information system in hospital.Methods:Hierarchical sampling method was adopted to combine with CSSD Professional Committee of Chinese Nursing Association to design questionnaire for Questionnaire Star Network Survey about basic information,CSSD information system,whether the CSSD information system connected with equipment,tracing links and tracing levels,identification method of apparatuses,automation of equipment in 3,074 hospitals of 22 provinces,4 municipalities directly under the central government,and 5 autonomous regions.Results:In 3,074 hospitals,1,811 hospitals(accounting for 58.91%)adopted the CSSD information system.The utilization rate of tertiary hospitals was 81.90%for the information system,which was higher than that(34.51%)in secondary hospitals,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=636.65,P<0.05).The proportion of hospitals that included the recycling,cleaning,disinfection,inspection and packaging,sterilization,storage,and distribution links of CSSD internal management into information management was all>88%,while the utilization link only accounted for 15.18%.The proportion that surgical apparatuses and the apparatuses of clinical diagnosis and treatment were included in management was higher in 1811 hospitals that used CSSD information system,which were respectively 88.02%and 84.70%,while the proportion of surgical soft endoscope was lower,which only was 49.20%.A total of 84.37%of hospitals conducted informatization management for using extracorporeal apparatuses and implants.The connection rates of the main CSSD equipment,which included the washing and disinfection machine,the pressure steam sterilizer and the low-temperature sterilizer,were connected with information system were respectively 56.60%,63.06%and 43.95%.The full compatibility between the information system and all monitoring methods did not be realized in these hospitals.Barcode was the main identification form(69.91%)of the CSSD information system,and personnel management was the most common management module(53.62%)of the information system.The utilization rate(2.93%-5.14%)of automated equipment was low,and 35.45%of the CSSD information systems had the function of automatic emergency handling.Conclusion:The CSSD informatization management of China has achieved remarkable results,but there are still problems such as insufficient connection of equipment,inclusion of monitoring data,and insufficient automation and intelligence.It is necessary to increase the promotion efforts to promote the high-quality development of hospitals.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the preventive effect of transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation on ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD) in patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted. The patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Jiaxing First Hospital from November 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled. Participants were randomized into the control group and the observation group using a random number table. The control group was given ICU standardized nursing intervention, including turning over and slapping the back, raising the head of the bed, sputum aspiration on demand, aerosol inhalation, oral care, and monitoring of airbag pressure and gastric retention, the observation group was given additional transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation intervention on the basis of ICU standardized nursing intervention. The stimulation intensity was set to 10 U, the pulse frequency was set to 40 Hz, and the stimulation frequency was set to 12 times/min. Transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation was administered once a day for 30 minutes each time, for a total of 5 days. Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) and arterial blood gas parameters on days 1, 3, and 5 of intervention were compared between the two groups. After 5 days of intervention, other parameters including the incidence of VIDD, duration of mechanical ventilation, and length of ICU stay were compared. RESULTS: A total of 120 patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were enrolled, with 16 dropouts (dropout rate was 13.33%). Ultimately, 51 patients in the control group and 53 patients in the observation group were analyzed. Baseline characteristics, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) score, albumin (Alb), hemoglobin (Hb), and disease type, showed no significant differences between the two groups. DTF in both groups gradually increased over duration of intervention [DTF on days 1, 3, and 5 in the control group was (20.83±2.33)%, (21.92±1.27)%, and (23.93±2.33)%, respectively, and that in the observation group was (20.89±1.96)%, (22.56±1.64)%, and (25.34±2.38)%, respectively], with more significant changes in DTF in the observation group, showing time effects (F_time = 105.975, P < 0.001), intervention effects (F_intervention = 7.378, P = 0.008), and interaction effects (F_interaction = 3.322, P = 0.038). Arterial blood gas parameters did not differ significantly before intervention between the groups, but after 5 days of intervention, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [mmHg (1 mmHg≈0.133 kPa): 100.72±15.75 vs. 93.62±15.54, P < 0.05], and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO₂) was significantly lower than that in the control group (mmHg: 36.53±3.10 vs. 37.69±2.02, P < 0.05). At 5 days of intervention, the incidence of VIDD in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [15.09% (8/53) vs. 37.25% (19/51), P < 0.05], and both duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay were significantly shorter than those in the control group [duration of mechanical ventilation (days): 7.93±2.06 vs. 8.77±1.76, length of ICU stay (days): 9.64±2.35 vs. 11.01±2.01, both P < 0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Transcutaneous phrenic nerve stimulation can improve diaphragmatic and respiratory function in patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation, reduce the incidence of VIDD, and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay.
