Objective To analyze the management and countermeasures of adverse nursing events in a municipal tertiary hospital in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Methods The adverse nursing events in 2023 in a municipal tertiary hospital in Guangxi were retrospectively analyzed.Logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify the causes of these adverse events and propose suitable countermeasures.Results In 2023,a total of 121 adverse nursing events were recorded,with falls being the most prominent(42 cases,accounting for 34.71％),followed by drug extravasation,drug safety incidents and unplanned ex-tubation,accounting for 13.22％,9.92％,and 7.44％respectively.Logistic regression analysis revealed that factors such as age ≥70 years,coexisting diseases,Basel Index score ≤40,pain score ≥4,tube slip risk assessment ≥10,RASS sedation score ≥3,NGASR score ≥9,lost risk assessment score ≥ 7,GCS Coma Scale score ≤8,Stress Injury Assessment Scale score ≤10,and Morse score ≥45 were associated with the risk of adverse nursing events.In addition,inadequate awareness of nursing risks among nursing staff,ineffective patient health education methods,and non-compliance to nursing protocols were identified as primary causes of adverse nursing events.Conclusion Advanced age,combined with other diseases,and hospitali-zation scale assessment results are critical factors for adverse nursing events.Lack of nursing responsibility and risk awareness among nursing staff,inadequate system implementation,and irregular operations can increase the risk.Hospitals should optimize management systems and work processes,enhance nursing staff training,and develop targeted preventive measures for adverse nursing events to improve the quality of nursing management and reduce the risk of adverse nursing events.

Objective:To evaluate the clinic efficacy of channel bone grafting [preservation of the sclerotic bone at the broken nonunion ends and fixation with limited contact dynamic compression plate (LC-DCP)] in the treatment of postoperative atrophic nonunion of middle clavicular fracture.Methods:The 41 patients were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Xi'an Hong-Hui Hospital for atrophic nonunion after internal fixation of middle clavicular fracture from June 2015 to December 2019. They were 23 males and 18 females, with a mean age of 47.6 years (from 28 to 63 years). The left side was affected in 25 cases and the right side in 16 cases. The time interval between initial fracture surgery and nonunion surgery averaged 18.5 months (from 9 to 40 months). Thirty-six cases had undergone one operation and 5 cases 2 operations before admission. The length of bone defect was measured during operation. All nonunions were treated with construction of a graft channel, iliac bone graft and LC-DCP internal fixation above the clavicle. The upper limb function of the affected side was evaluated by the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) 12 months after operation.Results:The 41 patients were followed up for an average of 13.6 months (from 12 to 15 months). A bone defect ≤2.0 cm was found in 25 cases and that >2.0 cm in 16 ones. Nonunion healed in all patients after an average time of 14 weeks (from 12 to 16 weeks). One patient reported continuous pain in the donor area after operation and the other developed deep venous thrombosis at the right lower limb. The DASH upper limb scores at 12 months after operation averaged 14.7.Conclusion:Channel bone grafting is a feasible clinical treatment of postoperative atrophic nonunion of middle clavicular fracture, because it preserves the sclerotic bone at the broken nonunion ends, reduces the amount of iliac bone graft and leads to fine clinic efficacy.

Cystatin, a cysteine protease inhibitor found in many parasites, plays important roles in immune evasion. This study analyzed the molecular characteristics of a cystatin from Fasciola hepatica (FhCystatin) and expressed recombinant FhCystatin (rFhcystatin) to investigate the immune modulatory effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced proliferation, migration, cytokine secretion, nitric oxide (NO) production, and apoptosis in mouse macrophages. The FhCystatin gene encoded 116 amino acids and contained a conserved cystatin-like domain. rFhCystatin significantly inhibited the activity of cathepsin B. rFhCystatin bound to the surface of mouse RAW264.7 cells, significantly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Moreover, rFhCystatin inhibited the expression of cellular nitric oxide, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, and promoted the expression of transforming growth factor-β and interleukin-10. These results showed that FhCystatin played an important role in regulating the activity of mouse macrophages. Our findings provide new insights into mechanisms underlying the immune evasion and contribute to the exploration of potential targets for the development of new drug to control F. hepatica infection.

Background: Bovine papillomatosis is a type of proliferative tumor disease of skin and mucosae caused by bovine papillomavirus (BPV). As a transboundary and emerging disease in cattle, it poses a potential threat to the dairy industry. Objectives: The aim of this study is to detect and clarify the genetic diversity of BPV circulating in dairy cows in Xinjiang, China. Methods: 122 papilloma skin lesions from 8 intensive dairy farms located in different regions of Xinjiang, China were detected by polymerase chain reaction. The genetic evolution relationships of various types of BPVs were analyzed by examining this phylogenetic tree. Results: Ten genotypes of BPV (BPV1, BPV2, BPV3, BPV6, BPV7, BPV8, BPV10, BPV11, BPV13, and BPV14) were detected and identified in dairy cows. These were the first reported detections of BPV13 and BPV14 in Xinjiang, Mixed infections were detected, and there were geographical differences in the distribution of the BPV genotypes. Notably, the BPV infection rate among young cattle (< 1-year-old) developed from the same supply of frozen sperm was higher than that of the other young cows naturally raised under the same environmental conditions. Conclusions Genotyping based on the L1 gene of BPV showed that BPVs circulating in Xinjiang China displayed substantial genetic diversity. This study provided valuable data at the molecular epidemiology level, which is conducive to developing deep insights into the genetic diversity and pathogenic characteristics of BPVs in dairy cows.

Objective:To characterize the biomechanical performance of our self-designed novel blocking screws in the treatment of distal tibial fractures.Methods:Thirty artificial composite tibial bones were used to create models of unstable distal tibial fracture (AO type 43-A3) which were randomized into 3 even groups ( n=10) according to modes of fixation. Group A was subjected to fixation with intramedullary nails only with merely preset holes reserved for the blocking screws, group B to fixation with intramedullary nails plus conventional anteroposterior blocking screws, and group C to fixation with intramedullary nails plus novel lateral blocking screws. In all the 3 groups, a lateral bending stress test was conducted to record the maximum transversal displacement of the intramedullary nail, a fatigue test to observe the structural abnormality in the model and an axial stress test to record the maximum axial displacement of the intramedullary nail-bone structure. The 3 groups were compared in structural abnormality, the maximum transversal displacement of the intramedullary nail and the maximum axial displacement of the intramedullary nail-bone structure. Results:The lateral bending stress tests showed the maximum transversal displacements were (5.02±1.03) mm; (4.19±0.64) mm and (4.18±0.65) mm in groups A, B and C; compared with group A, the maximum transversal displacement decreased by 16.6%( P=0.027) in group B and decreased by 16.8%( P=0.025) in group C, showing significant differences but there was no significant difference in the maximum transversal displacement between groups B and C ( P=0.978). In the fatigue test, all models showed no structural abnormality under cyclic loading. In the axial stress test, the maximum axial displacements of the intramedullary nail-bone structure were, respectively, (5.69±0.75) mm, (5.31±0.61) mm and (5.51±0.65) mm in groups A, B and C, showing no statistically significant difference among the 3 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Our self-designed novel blocking screws can be a new means in clinical application, because they are similar to conventional blocking screws in increasing the stability of nail-bone construct and other biomechanical performance.

Objective:To study the influence of anticoagulation timing on incidence of perioperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in elderly patients with hip fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made of the 179 elderly patients with hip fracture who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics and Traumaology, Hong-Hui Hospital from July 2017 to December 2018. They were 78 males and 101 females, aged from 62 to 91 years (mean, 79.5 years). There were 79 femoral neck fractures and 100 intertrochanteric fractures, 109 of which were treated by internal fixation and 70 by hip replacement. The patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the timing of anticoagulation after injury. In group 1 of 74 cases, anticoagulation started <24 h after injury; in group 2 of 36 cases, anticoagulation started 24 to 48 h after injury; in group 3 of 69 cases, anticoagulation started >48 h after injury. Anticoagulation continued until 12 h before surgery in all patients but was resumed 8 to 12 h after surgery. The 3 groups were compared in incidence of perioperative DVT.Results:The 3 groups were comparable due to insignificant differences between them in their pre-operative general data ( P>0.05). DVT occurred perioperatively in 84 patients, yielding an incidence of 46.9% (84/179). The incidences of perioperative DVT were 27.0% (20/74), 47.2% (17/36) and 68.1% (47/69) in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, showing significant differences ( χ2=24.206, P<0.001), between any 2 groups ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Since the earlier anticoagulation starts after injury the lower incidence of perioperative DVT in elderly patients with hip fracture, early standardized prophylactic anticoagulation after injury can effectively reduce incidence of perioperative DVT.

Objective:To explore the effect of moxibustion pretreatment on bone marrow suppression in cancer patients after chemotherapy, so as to provide a basis for clinical nursing.Methods:From May 2019 to May 2020, we selected 70 cancer patients who met the criteria in the Oncology Department of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province by convenient sampling. There were 65 patients who finally completed the trial including moxibustion pretreatment group ( n=20) , moxibustion group ( n=22) , and control group ( n=23) . All three groups received regular chemotherapy. Patients in moxibustion pretreatment group received moxibustion 7 days before the start of chemotherapy, once a day, for 14 days; patients in moxibustion group were treated with moxibustion at the beginning of chemotherapy, once a day, for 7 days; control group carried out conventional chemotherapy. We compared the white blood cell count, neutrophil count, incidence and degree of bone marrow suppression, and the use of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor among the three groups. Results:The white blood cell and neutrophil counts of the three groups were compared between the groups and at different times, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The incidences of bone marrow suppression on the seventh and fourteenth day after chemotherapy of the three groups of patients were compared between the groups and at different times with statistical differences ( Wald χ2groups=6.628, P=0.036; Wald χ2times=43.018, P<0.001) . A total of 7, 14 days after chemotherapy, there were statistical differences in the use of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor in patients among the three groups ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Moxibustion pretreatment can stabilize the white blood cell and neutrophil counts of cancer patients after chemotherapy, reduce the incidence of bone marrow suppression, the degree of bone marrow suppression as well as the use of recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor.

Objective: To understand the consciousness of the cancer early treatment and its demographic and socioeconomic factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 16 provinces covered by the Cancer Screening Program in Urban China (CanSPUC) from 2015 to 2017. A total of 32 257 local residents aged ≥18 years old who could understand the investigation procedure were included in the study by using the cluster sampling method and convenient sampling method. All local residents were categorized into four groups, which contained 15 524 community residents, 8 016 cancer risk assessment/screening population, 2 289 cancer patients and 6 428 occupational population, respectively. The questionnaire collected personal information, the consciousness of the cancer early treatment and relevant factors. The Chi square test was used to compare the difference between the consciousness of the cancer early treatment and relevant factors among the four groups. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors related to the consciousness of the cancer early treatment. Results: With the assumption of being diagnosed as precancer or cancer, 89.97% of community residents, 91.84% of cancer risk assessment/screening population, 93.00% of cancer patients and 91.52% of occupational population would accept active treatments (P<0.001). If the immediate family members were diagnosed as precancer or cancer, people who would encourage their family members to receive early treatment in the four groups accounted for 91.96%, 91.94%, 92.44% and 91.55%, respectively (P<0.001). The company employees, annual household income with 40 000 yuan and more and other three groups had a relatively better consciousness of the cancer early treatment (P<0.05). Male, widowed, unemployed and from the central and western regions had a relatively worse consciousness of the cancer early treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion Residents in urban China participants had a good consciousness of the cancer early treatment. The marital status, occupation, annual household income and residential regions were major factors related to the consciousness of the cancer early treatment.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of our novel reduction technique in the surgical treatment of complicated tibial plateau fractures.Methods:From May 2016 to September 2018, 50 fractures of tibial plateau (Schatzker types Ⅴ and Ⅵ) were treated at Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Hong Hui Hospital. They were 34 males and 16 females, aged from 27 to 56 years (average, 42.3 years). They were divided into 2 groups according to the reduction techniques. In the group of novel reduction ( n=23), bone fragments were reduced one by one from the distal to the proximal until the compression fracture was reduced and fixated. In the conventional reduction group ( n=27), the articular surface was reduced first before fixation of articular fragments with distal ends of tibial fracture. The 2 groups were compared in terms of intraoperative bleeding, operation time, tibial plateau angle (TPA) on the knee anteroposterior X-ray film taken on the second day after operation, and rate of acceptable TPA (±5°). Results:There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in general preoperative data, showing comparability ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in either operation time (2.7 h ± 0.4 h versus 3.0 h ± 0.6 h) or intraoperative bleeding (215 mL ± 56 mL versus 221 mL ± 52 mL) ( P>0.05). The novel reduction group had a significantly higher rate of acceptable TPA [78.2% (18/23)] than the conventional reduction group [48.1%(13/27)]( P<0.05). Conclusion:In the surgical treatment of complicated tibial plateau fractures, compared with conventional reduction technique, our novel reduction technique can increase the rate of acceptable reduction but not operation time nor intraoperative bleeding.
