To provide scientific guidance and standardization for perioperative clinical nursing practice in patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy, relevant evidence on percutaneous renal biopsy nursing care was systematically retrieved and synthesized through an evidence-based approach. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and expert panel discussions, expert consensus on perioperative clinical nursing standards for patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy (hereinafter referred to as the "Consensus") was developed. The Consensus includes three primary themes: preoperative care, intraoperative care, and postoperative care, encompassing 21 secondary themes. It is characterized by scientific rigor, practical applicability, and comprehensiveness, and serves as a valuable reference and guide for clinical nursing professionals across medical institutions.

Objective:Non-targeted metabolomics based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS)platform was used to study the metabolic characteristics of multiple myeloma(MM)patients,and explore potential new metabolic mechanisms affecting the occurrence and development of MM.Methods:The study enrolled 42 MM patients,including 21 newly diagnosed(ND)patients and 21 relapsed patients(RP),and 21 age-sex matched healthy controls(HC)as subjects.UPLC-MS analysis platform was used to detect small molecule metabolites in serum of the subjects.Principal component analysis(PCA),orthogonal partial least-squared discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA)and 200 random permutations were used to analyze the differences of metabolic profiles among groups.Identification of differential metabolites was completed in the Human Metabolome Database(HMDB)and abnormal metabolic pathway analysis was performed using the KEGG database.Results:The metabolic profiles of MM patients and healthy controls were significantly separated in both PCA and OPLS-DA models,while the metabolic profiles of newly diagnosed and relapsed MM patients were significantly separated only in OPLS-DA model.In ND vs HC,RP vs HC and RP vs ND cohorts,19,24 and 18 differential metabolites were identified respectively,mainly sphingolipids,glycerophospholipids and fatty acyl amino acids.The metabolic pathway abnormalities in newly diagnosed and relapsed MM patients were mainly manifested in sphingolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism compared to healthy controls.Compared with newly diagnosed MM patients,relapsed MM patients were mainly manifested in sphingolipid metabolism and ether-lipid metabolism.Conclusion:The metabolic profiles of MM patients are significantly different from those of healthy people.Relapsed MM patients and newly diagnosed MM patients have similar metabolic profiles,but there are still some differences.Glycerophospholipid metabolism,sphingolipid meta-bolism and ether-lipid metabolism may play important biological roles in the occurrence and development of MM.

Objective:To explore the effect of self-made static progressive braces in the stepwise treatment of hand flexion dysfunction caused by scar contracture after burn injury.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2022 to March 2024, the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University admitted twenty-nine patients who met the inclusion criteria and used the self-made static progressive braces for stepwise treatment of hand flexion dysfunction caused by scar contracture, including 23 males and 6 females, aged 16 to 55 years. The depth of burn on the back of the hand was deep partial-thickness to full-thickness. The self-made static progressive brace referred to the self-made static progressive joint distractor and the self-made static progressive hand flexion distractor. The stepwise treatment was adopted. In the first stage, in-hospital treatment for 2 to 4 weeks was selected. The treatment contents included conventional rehabilitation training and training on the application of the self-made joint distractors. When the active flexion range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint was ≥60°, the second stage of treatment was carried out, that is, two weeks of home remote rehabilitation treatment. The treatment contents included individualized exercise training such as training with self-made static progressive joint distractors and training with self-made static progressive hand flexion distractors. Adverse events such as blister, brace compression, and tissue strain during the stepwise treatment were recorded. After the end of the stepwise treatment, the active flexion of the affected hand was observed. During follow-up, the total active range of motion of the affected hand was measured, and the extensibility of the scar and skin and soft tissue on the back of the affected hand and the patient's satisfaction with the therapeutic effect were evaluated. At the last follow-up, the function of the affected hand was evaluated according to the trial standards for evaluation of partial function of upper extremity by the Hand Surgery Society of Chinese Medical Association.Results:During the stepwise treatment, a small amount of blisters developed on the skin at the wrist joint in 2 patients, which was cured after symptomatic treatment; the other patients had no adverse events such as brace compression and tissue strain. After the end of the stepwise treatment, the active flexion function of the hand was better, and the fist could be basically clenched. After 1-3 months of follow-up, the total active range of motion of the affected hand was 200-245°; the scar on the back of the hand was soft and light-colored, and the skin and soft tissue was malleable. Twenty-two patients were very satisfied with the curative effect, 6 patients were satisfied, and 1 patient was dissatisfied. At the last follow-up, there were 20 cases with excellent hand function and 9 cases with good hand function.Conclusions:The stepwise treatment of hand flexion dysfunction caused by scar contracture after burn injury with self-made static progressive braces has a good effect and few complications. Moreover, the two self-made static progressive distractors are convenient in material acquisition, simple to make, cost-effective, and highly practical, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the mechanism through which moxibustion promotes endometrial repair in rats with in thin endometrium (TE). METHODS: Female SD rats were randomized into control group, 95% anhydrous ethanol-induced TE model group and moxibustion (at "Guan Yuan") group. High-throughput sequencing was used to identify the target genes of TE, and the targeting relationship between miR-223-3p and NLRP3 was verified using a dual luciferase assay. Histopathological of rat uterus was observed with HE staining, and expressions of miR-223-3p and NLRP3 were detected using RT-qPCR; serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 of the rats were detected using ELISA, and protein expressions of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and GSDMD in the uterus were detected with Western blotting. The pregnancies of the rats after treatment were counted. RESULTS: Enrichment analysis of the differential genes suggested up-regulated inflammatory response in TE, and dual luciferase assay verified targeted inhibition of NLRP3 expression by miR-223-3p. The rat models of TE had significantly decreased endometrial thickness and reduced endometrial glands and blood vessels with enhanced mRNA expression of NLRP3, increased serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18, up-regulated protein expressions of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and GSDMD, lowered pregnancy rates on both the affected and unaffected sides and the overall number of pregnancies. Treatment of the rat models with mo-xibustion obviously increased the endometrial thickness and the density of glands and blood vessels, up-regulated miR-223-3p expression, lowered serum IL-1β and IL-18 levels and the protein expressions of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and GSDMD, and significantly increased the number of pregnancies. CONCLUSIONS Moxibustion at "Guan Yuan" acupoint up-regulates the expression of miR-223-3p, which results in targeted inhibition of NLRP3 to suppress pyroptosis and promote endometrial repair in rat models of TE.

Objective To compare the reparative effects of moxibustion at"Guanyuan"and"Shenshu"points in rats with a thin endometrium.Methods Thirty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into control(CON),model(MOD),Guanyuan(GY),and Shenshu(SS)groups.A thin endometrium model was established using 95％anhydrous alcohol.The Guanyuan and Shenshu groups underwent moxibustion at the Guanyuan and Shenshu points,respectively,and the other two groups of rats were fixed in the same way.Temperature changes at the acupoint area were measured at different time points.The pathological morphology of the uterus was observed by hematoxylin and eosin(HE)staining,and serum levels of inflammatory factors and hormone levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Expression levels of proliferation and endometrial receptivity factors were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC),and angiogenesis factors were detected by Western blot.Results The temperatures immediately after moxibustion and after 5 min were higher at the Shenshu compared with the Guanyuan acupoint(P＜0.01).Endometrial thickness and numbers of glands and blood vessels were decreased in the MOD group compared with the CON group(P＜0.01),serum interleukin 1 β(IL-1 β)was increased(P＜0.01)and PROG was decreased(P＜0.01),and Ki67,proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA),leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF),integrin β3(ITG-β3),angiopoietin-1(ANG-1),and CD34 protein in uterine tissue were all decreased(P＜0.01).Endometrial thickness and numbers of glands and blood vessels were increased in the GY and SS groups compared with the MOD group(P＜0.01),while serum IL-1 β was decreased(P＜0.05),E2 and PROG were increased(P＜0.05),and serum interleukin 10(IL-10)was increased in the SS group(P＜0.05).Ki67,PCNA,LIF,and ITG-β3 were all increased in both treatment groups compared with the MOD group(P＜0.01).PCNA was higher in the GY group compared with the SS group(P＜0.05),while LIF and ITG-β3 were higher in the SS group compared with the GY group(P＜0.01,P＜0.05,respectively).CD34 and VEGFA levels were increased in the two treatment groups compared with the model group(P＜0.01).ANG-1 was higher in the GY group than that in the SS group(P＜0.01),while CD34 was higher in the SS group than that in the GY group(P＜0.05).Conclusions Moxibustion at the Guanyuan and Shenshu points could help to repair the pathological thin endometrium in rats.The GY group may be superior to the SS group for reducing the levels of serum IL-1 β,increasing E2,and promoting the expression of proliferation factors,while the SS group may be superior to the GY group for increasing the levels of PROG and promoting the expression of endometrium receptor-related factors.Both acupoints can promote the expression of angiogenesis factors,potentially acting via different pathways.

Objective:To investigate the common viral pathogen spectrum of acute respiratory infection (ARI) cases in Changshu city.Methods:Nasopharyngeal swab samples from outpatients and inpatients in five sentinel hospitals in Changshu city from January 2022 to October 2023 were collected. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the nucleic acids of influenza virus (Flu) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), adenovirus (AdV), human rhinovirus (HRV), human parainfluenza virus (HPIV), enterovirus (EV), human coronavirus (HCoV), human metapneumovirus (HMPV), and human bocavirus (HBoV).Results:Of the 1 936 ARI cases, 18.1% (350/1 936) were tested positive for viral nucleic acid. Flu had the highest detection rate (7.1%), followed by HBoV (3.7%), AdV (1.9%) and RSV (1.6%). The virus detection rate was significantly different among different age groups and seasons. In March 2023, the total virus detection rate was the highest (47.6%), mainly Flu. Flu showed unimodal prevalence in spring and winter. The prevalence trend of HBoV and HCoV was consistent, and the detection rate of HBoV (5.43%) was higher than that of HCoV (2.45%), both of which peaked in summer. RSV prevalence peaks in autumn (4.5%). The detection rate of children aged 0-5 years was the highest, reaching 33.3%.Conclusions:The main ARI pathogens in Changshu city from 2022 to 2023 were Flu, HBoV, AdV and RSV.
