ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of different non-treatment thresholds or upper limits of normal （ULN） of alanine aminotransferase （ALT） in evaluating significant liver pathological injury in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection， and to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MethodsThis study was conducted among 733 patients with chronic HBV infection who were hospitalized in Ningbo No. 2 Hospital from January 2015 to December 2023 and underwent liver biopsy and histopathological examination， and all patients had a persistent ALT level of ≤40 U/L and positive HBV DNA （>30 IU/mL）. According to the treatment threshold or ULN of ALT， the patients were divided into group 1 with 575 patients （≤35 U/L for male patients， ≤25 U/L for female patients）， group 2 with 430 patients （≤30 U/L for male patients， ≤19 U/L for female patients）， group 3 with 443 patients （≤27 U/L for male patients， ≤24 U/L for female patients）， group 4 with 446 patients （≤25 U/L）， group 5 with 158 patients （>35 U/L for male patients， >25 U/L for female patients）， and group 6 with 145 patients （>30 — ≤35 U/L for male patients， >19 — ≤25 U/L for female patients）. Groups 2， 5， and 6 were compared to analyze the severity of liver pathological injury in patients with different ALT levels and the constituent ratio of patients with significant liver pathological injury， and groups 1， 2， 3， and 4 were compared to investigate the value of different ULN or non-treatment thresholds of ALT in determining liver inflammation grade （G）， liver fibrosis stage （S）， and the treatment indication based on liver pathology. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test or the Tambane’s test was used for further comparison between two groups； the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups and further comparison between two groups； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； a Ridit analysis was used for comparison of ranked data. A multivariate Logistic regression analysis （forward stepwise） was performed with whether liver pathology met the treatment indication （≥G2 and/or ≥S2） as the dependent variable and related factors with a significant impact on the dependent variable （P <0.05） as the independent variable. The receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was plotted， and the area under the ROC curve （AUC）， as well as sensitivity， specificity， positive predictive value， negative predictive value， positive likelihood ratio， and negative likelihood ratio， was used to assess the diagnostic value of different non-treatment thresholds of ALT. ResultsAmong the 733 patients， 259 （35.33%） had ≥G2 liver inflammation， 211 （28.79%） had ≥S2 liver fibrosis， and 306 （41.75%） had treatment indication （≥G2 and/or ≥S2）. There was a significant difference in liver inflammation grade （G0 — G4） between groups 2， 5， and 6 （χ²=22.869， P <0.001）， and there were also significant differences in the constituent ratios of patients with ≥G2 or ≥G3 liver inflammation between the three groups （χ²=21.742 and 14.921， P<0.001 and P=0.001）. There was a significant difference in liver fibrosis stage （S0 — S4） between groups 2， 5， and 6 （χ²=16.565， P<0.001）， and there were also significant differences in the constituent ratios of patients with ≥S2， ≥S3 or S4 liver fibrosis between the three groups （χ²=13.264， 13.050， and 6.260， P=0.001， 0.001， and 0.044）. There were significant differences between groups 2， 5， and 6 in the constituent ratios of patients with or without treatment indication based on liver pathology （χ²=20.728， P<0.001）. There were significant differences between groups 2， 5， and 6 in the constituent ratio of male patients （χ²=24.836， P<0.05）， age （F=5.710， P<0.05）， ALT （F=473.193， P<0.05）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST） （F=107.774， P<0.05）， ALT/AST ratio （F=40.167， P<0.05）， γ-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT） （H=15.463， P<0.05）， aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index （APRI） （H=63.024， P<0.05）， and LIF-5 （5 indicators for liver inflammation and fibrosis） （H=46.397， P<0.05）. In groups 1 — 4， compared with the patients without treatment indication， the patients with treatment indication had a significantly lower constituent ratio of patients with positive HBeAg， significantly lower levels of platelet count （PLT） and HBV DNA， and significantly higher age， ALT， AST， GGT， APRI， FIB-4， and LIF-5 （all P<0.05）. The Logistic regression analysis showed that age （odds ratio ［OR］=1.044， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.025 — 1.063， P<0.001）， GGT （OR=1.022， 95%CI： 1.007 — 1.038， P=0.003）， and HBV DNA （OR=0.839， 95%CI： 0.765 — 0.919， P<0.001） were influencing factors for treatment indication based on liver pathology in group 1； HBeAg （OR=1.978， 95%CI： 1.269 — 3.082， P=0.003）， age （OR=1.048， 95%CI： 1.025 — 1.071， P<0.001）， GGT （OR=1.016， 95%CI： 1.001 — 1.031， P=0.041）， and PLT （OR=0.995， 95%CI： 0.991 — 1.000， P=0.049） were influencing factors in group 2； age （OR=1.040， 95%CI： 1.014 — 1.066， P=0.002）， ALT （OR=1.047， 95%CI： 1.005 — 1.092， P=0.029）， HBV DNA （OR=0.817， 95%CI： 0.736 — 0.907， P<0.001）， and LIF-5 （OR=7.382， 95%CI： 1.151 — 47.330， P=0.035） were influencing factors in group 3； age （OR=1.054， 95%CI： 1.031 — 1.077， P<0.001）， ALT （OR=1.061， 95%CI： 1.016 — 1.107， P=0.008）， and HBV DNA （OR=0.825， 95%CI： 0.743 — 0.917， P<0.001） were influencing factors in group 4. The diagnostic performance for identifying ≥G2 liver inflammation， ≥S2 liver fibrosis， and treatment indication in groups 1 — 4 had an AUC of >0.7； group 1 showed the lowest sensitivity （28.76%） and the highest specificity， positive predictive value， positive likelihood ratio， and negative likelihood ratio in judging treatment indication； group 2 had the highest sensitivity and negative predictive value and the lowest negative likelihood ratio； groups 3 and 4 had similar diagnostic indicators. ConclusionIn patients with chronic HBV infection and a persistently low ALT level， the severity of liver histopathological injury and the constituent ratio of significant liver histopathological injury decrease with the reduction in ALT level. A higher non-treatment threshold or ULN of ALT can help to identify the patients requiring treatment （with a higher specificity）， while a lower non-treatment threshold or ULN of ALT can help to identify the patients who do not require treatment （with a higher sensitivity）.

Objective:To develop a Cognitive Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation and conduct reliability and validity tests in community-dwelling patients with SCI.Methods:Based on expectation value theory, social cognition theory, and goal setting theory, a Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation was developed through literature review, group discussions, patient trials, and expert verification. From February to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 231 community-dwelling patients with SCI as research subjects, including 67 community-dwelling patients with SCI who participated in rehabilitation training at Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center and 164 patients with SCI in the "Hope Home" WeChat group of Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Research subjects were surveyed using the Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version), 9-item depression scale of Patient Health Questionnaire, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimension-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and general information questionnaire. SPSS 16.0 software and Amos 21.0 software were used for correlation analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version) included two primary dimensions, eight secondary dimensions, and 24 items. The trial showed good results among patients with SCI and their caregivers, and experts generally agreed. Exploratory factor analysis found that the scale were divided into recognition dimension and understanding dimension. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.98, the correlation coefficient between each item and its corresponding dimension was 0.75 to 0.88, and our results indicated good test-retest reliability. Correlation analysis showed that patient anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05), and self-efficacy, quality of life were positively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation is scientific and feasible, with good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the rehabilitation cognition of community-dwelling patients with SCI.

The pathogen of COVID-19 is 2019-nCoV, which belongs to the beta coronavirus. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is the receptor of 2019-nCoV as the same of SARS-CoV. Most of the severe patients were the elderly with underlying diseases, which may be related to the decrease in the number of naive T cells. In addition to pulmonary symptoms, COVID-19 can also cause multiple organ dysfunction and even multiple organ failure (liver, nervous system, heart, kidney, etc.). Pathogenic mechanisms such as direct virus invasion, cytokine storm, endothelial cells damage, and down-regulation of ACE2 may play important roles in the severity of the disease.

Objective:To analyze the liver pathology, clinical characteristics and influence factors in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in immune tolerant phase (IT).Methods:The clinical data of 273 patients in IT phase who underwent liver biopsy from January 2015 to December 2019 were included in this study. The correlation between liver pathological changes and clinical features was analyzed.Results:There were 43 cases (15.75%) with liver histologic activity ≥ G2, 30 cases (10.99%) with liver fibrosis ≥ S2, and 55 cases (20.15%) with liver pathology ≥ G2 and/or ≥ S2. A total of 17.95% patients had liver steatosis. The majority (98.17%) of tissue samples were positive for HBsAg staining, while only 79.49% were positive for HBcAg. The characteristics of liver pathology were comparable in men from women patients. The differences of G and S were not statistically significant according to different HBsAg positivity, while those were statistically significant according to different HBcAg positivity. By univariate and multivariate analysis, the independent risk factors of pathological severity were HBcAg intensity, HBeAg level, and age. However, the differences of liver histologic activity and fibrosis were not statistically significant between those younger than 30 years old group from those older than 30 years old, neither between those younger or older than 40. Although the diagnostic value of liver inflammation and fibrosis 5 (LIF-5) was better than that of aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis 4 score (FIB-4), three diagnostic models for predicting the pathological severity were not strong enough (all area under the curves<0.8). Only the specificity of LIF-5 for predicting≥ G2, ≥ G2 and/or ≥ S2 was over 80%.Conclusions:Approximately 20% patients with chronic HBV infection in IT phase have progressive liver inflammation or fibrosis. The intensity of liver HBcAg and HBeAg level are negatively correlated with the severity of disease. The diagnostic models or most clinical indicators have low predictive effect for chronic HBV infections in IT phase.

Objective:To retrieve and analyze the relevant guidelines for the second and third stages of normal delivery, and summarize the evidence of high-quality guidelines so as to provide references for the formulation of clinical practice programs.Methods:We took Johns Hopkins evidence-based nursing practice model as theoretical guidance and set up an evidence-based team.We systematically searched major guideline publication websites, electronic resource databases, related academic groups and guideline networks at home and abroad, evaluated guidelines and summarized the best evidence, and the search time limit was up to June 1, 2019. The literature quality evaluation and evidence extraction were carried out independently by four researchers with evidence-based training.Results:This study included two guidelines, summarizing the 20 best evidences in 9 aspects of humanistic support, delivery companion, delivery position, fetal monitoring, delayed exertion, perineal protection, fundus compression, prevention of postpartum hemorrhage, and delayed umbilical cord clamping.Conclusions:Based on the existing evidence, it integrates the best evidence of nursing measures for the second and third stages of normal delivery. It is recommended that maternal and child institutions promote the transformation of the best evidence based on their actual conditions.

In December 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused the outbreak of COVID-19 in Wuhan. It is a kind of enveloped positive-strand RNA virus, belonging to the subgenus Sarbecovirus of the genus Betacoronavirus. It is similar to other viruses of the subgenus Sarbecovirus in genomic structure and closely related to the bat coronavirus (RaTG13), indicating that its natural host is likely to be bat, but the intermediate host is still controversial. SARS-CoV-2 infects host cells with angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) as a receptor. At present, SARS-CoV-2 has undergone some mutations. This article reviewed the current research situation and progress in the etiology of COVID-19.

Objective: To make a postural transfer belt for patients with cervical spinal cord injury, to reduce and prevent the corresponding nursing problems with traditional methods of transfer Methods: 44 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the ward from January to June 2017 were selected as the control group by traditional methods of postural metastasis, and 48 patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the ward from July to December 2017 were selected as the observation group by using self-made transfer belt. Results: Number of the skin injury caused by transfer in observation group was 0 cases, in control group was four cases, and there was significant difference (χ²=1.91, P=0.049). Falls occur due to metastasis: there were 0 cases in the observation group and five cases in the control group, there was significant difference (χ²=2.39, P=0.026). The number of caregivers in the observation group decreased on average (1.21±0.08), and the number of caregivers in the control group decreased on average (0.86±0.09). The differences between the two groups are statistically significant (t=2.905, P=0.005). The results of the investigation on the escorts in the observation group showed that 46 (95.8%) people believed that the transfer belt was convenient for patients. 47 people believed that the transfer belt was safer and more labor-saving to use, accounting for 97.9%, and 47 people believed that the transfer belt would continue to be used when they went home, who occupied 97.9%. Conclusion The self-made transfer belt is convenient for the caregivers to carry the patients with cervical spinal cord injury, which effectively prevents the occurrence of skin injury, falls and other nursing problems, and improves the quality and experience of the caregivers. This technology is worthwhile to spread.

Objective To analyze the heterogeneities of hepatitis B virus ( HBV ) reverse transcriptase domain (RT) gene mutations related to nucleos (t)ide analogues (NAs) resistance.Methods Blood samples from 2765 chronic hepatitis B patients with virological breakthrough or poor drug response treated in Ningbo No .2 Hospital and Ningbo Fourth Hospital from April 2011 to March 2018 were collected . According to the medication status , it was divided into LAM monotherapy group ( n =603 ) , LdT monotherapy group (n=147), ADV monotherapy group (n=68), ETV monotherapy group (n=10) and the sequential or combined drug resistance of NAs group (n=365).The resistance mutation sites and drug resistance patterns (pathways) of each group were analyzed .The SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results Among 2765 serum samples, the NAs-related HBV-RT resistance mutations were detected in 1193 cases with an overall mutation rate of 43.15％.The mutation rate of LAM monoclonal resistance group was 62.62％ (603/963) with 19 mutation types, the most common single point mutation was rtM204I/V (40.30％, 243/603).The mutation rate of LdT monoclonal resistance group was 45.51％(147/323), and there were 3 mutation types, with the single point mutation rtM204I/V being the most common (59.86％, 88/147).The mutation rate of the ADV monoclonal resistance group was 17.80％(68/382), mainly rtA181T single point mutation (64.71％, 44/68).The mutation rate of the ETV monoclonal resistance group was 4.06％(10/246), and the single point mutation of rtT184A/G/S/I/L/F was the most common one (80.00％, 8/10).The mutation rate of the sequential or combination therapy group was 41.91％ (365/871), among which the mutation rate of the LAM/LdT poor response or the resistance with the sequential ADV group was 63.39％(142/224), and the most single mutation point was rtA181V/T ( 35.21％, 50/142 );the mutation rate of LAM/LdT poor response or drug-resistant with combined ADV group was 42.19％ (54/128), and the most common mutation point was rtA181V/T (46.30％, 25/54);the mutation rate of LAM/LdT with poor response or resistance after sequential ETV 1.0 mg was 44.66％(117/262), and the most common mutation point was rtL180M+M204I/V+S202G/I (31.62％, 37/117);the LAM/LdT poor response or the drug-resistant ETV combined with ADV group had a mutation rate of 7.14％(5/70), all of which were multi-site mutations;the mutation rate of poor response to ADV or resistant with sequential ETV 0.5 mg group was 28.14％(47/167), all of which were multi-site mutations.Secondary ( compensation ) sites such as rtV173L, rtL180M, and rtV214A, and single-point mutations such as rtV207I/L/G, rtS213Tand rtN238T, which were not fully defined , were detected.The resistance patterns ( pathways ) of NAs monotherapy were relatively simple , and the resistance patterns ( pathways ) of NAs experienced patients ( sequential or combined treatment group ) were complex and diverse, and multiple resistance patterns (pathways) existed, along with NAs increasing in species.Non-first-line NAs-related resistance patterns ( pathways ) showed an overall downward trend sand ETV-related drug-resistant mutation showed an overall upward trend .Conclusion The NAs-related HBV resistance mutation sites ( patterns ) are complex and diverse , especially multi-site mutations , refractory drug resistance mutations, multidrug resistance mutations and cross-resistance mutations.Therefore, the optimization of antiviral treatment strategies and drug resistance management concepts need to be continuously updated .

Objective To explore the effects of two kinds preoperative fasting and liquid-fasting time before caesarean section on blood glucose of puerperae with GDM before and after the operation,intra-operative complications and on blood glucose of neonates.Methods With prospective study method,162 puerperae with GDM admitted to obstetrical department of Peking University First Hospital and received cesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia between April 1st and Sep. 30th in 2015,were selected as the research object,and were divided into the control group (admitted on odd-numbered days) and the observation group (admitted on even-numbered days). Puerperae in the control group were forbidden to eat solid food for 8 h and drink transparent liquid for 6 h before the operation,while those in the observation group were forbidden to eat solid food for 6 h and drink transparent liquid for 2 h before the operation. Puererae in two groups were compared about their preoperative blood glucose,incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting or aspiration,intra-operative quality of bleeding,postoperative exsufflation time and blood glucose half an hour after the operation, meanwhile,neonates in two groups were compared about their Apgar scores 1 min and 5 min after birth,and their blood glucose half an hour after birth. Statistical analysis was done by independent-samplest test,Mann-WhitneyU test and χ2 test.Results Difference of preoperative blood glucose of puererae in two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). Differences of intraoperative bleeding of puererae in two groups and blood glucose of neonates half an hour after birth in two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no statistic difference in the incidence of intraoperative nausea and vomiting or aspiration,postoperative exsufflation time of puererae,or Apgar scores 1 min and 5 min after birth of neonates in two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions The scheme of forbidding puererae from eating solid food for 6 h and drinking transparent liquid for 2 h before cesarean section can reduce the incidence of preoperative hypoglycemia,maintain a smooth post-operative blood glucose, reduce intraoperative bleeding without increasing the incidence of intraoperative complications like nausea,vomiting or aspiration,or hypoglycemia of the neonates. The new fasting and liquid-fasting scheme is safe and feasible,which makes it worth promoting in clinic.

Objective With methods of literature review, item test, reliability and validity test, etc., to develop a fall risk assessment scale specific to the obstetrical department, which, after reliability and validity test, can be used for women health care before, at and after delivery.Methods Items in the fall risk assessment scale for pregnant and maternal women were determined and weights were assigned by reviewing relative risk factors in literature, referring to items in other fall risk assessment tools from home and aboard. After a preliminary scale was formed, 154 pregnant and maternal women hospitalized from May to December 2016 were assessed, so that reliability and validity of the scale were tested.Results In this fall risk assessment scale for the obstetrical department, test-retest reliability was 0.822, interrater reliability was 0.926, content validity of expertise was 0.927, and area under the curve (ROC) was 0.750 (P<0.05). When the dividing value was 3.5, sum of sensitivity (0.714) and specificity (0.714) reached the max.Conclusions The new fall risk scale, with favorable reliability and validity, can filter patients with high risk of fall, yet, it is still to be testified and perfected in future application.
