OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current status of early pain and agitation management in critically ill patients in Guizhou Province. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed using data collected from a quality control activity conducted between April and June 2021 in non-provincial public hospitals with general intensive care unit (ICU) in Guizhou Province. Hospital-level data included hospital name and grade, ICU staffing, and number of ICU beds. Patient-level data included characteristics of patients treated in the general ICU on the day of the survey (e.g., age, sex, primary diagnosis), as well as pain and agitation assessments and the types of analgesic and sedative medications administered within 24 hours of ICU admission. RESULTS: A total of 947 critically ill ICU patients from 145 hospitals were included, among which 104 were secondary-level hospitals and 41 were tertiary-level hospitals. Within 24 hours of ICU admission, 312 (32.9%) critically ill patients received pain assessments, and 277 (29.3%) received agitation assessments. Among the pain assessment tools, the critical care pain observation tool (CPOT) was used in 44.2% (138/312) of critically ill ICU patients, with a significantly higher usage rate in tertiary hospitals compared to secondary hospitals [52.3% (69/132) vs. 38.3% (69/180), P < 0.05]. The Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) was used in 93.8% (260/277) of critically ill ICU patients for agitation assessment, with no significant difference between hospital levels. Among the 947 critically ill patients, 592 (62.5%) received intravenous analgesics within 24 hours, with remifentanil being the most commonly used [42.9% (254/592)]; 510 (53.9%) received intravenous sedatives, with midazolam being the most frequently used [60.8% (310/510)]. Mechanical ventilation data were available for 932 critically ill patients, of whom 579 (62.1%) received mechanical ventilation and 353 (37.9%) did not. Compared with non-ventilated patients, ventilated patients had significantly higher rates of analgesic and sedative use [analgesics: 77.9% (451/579) vs. 38.8% (137/353); sedatives: 71.8% (416/579) vs. 25.8% (91/353); both P < 0.05]. In terms of analgesic selection, ventilated patients were more likely to receive strong opioids than non-ventilated patients [85.8% (95/137) vs. 69.3% (387/451), P < 0.05]. For sedatives, ventilated patients preferred midazolam [66.6% (277/416)], whereas non-ventilated patients more often received dexmedetomidine [45.1 (41/91)]. Blood pressure within 24 hours of ICU admission were available for 822 critically ill patients, of whom 245 (29.8%) had hypotension and 577 (70.2%) did not. Compared with non-hypotensive patients, hypotensive patients had significantly higher rates of analgesic and sedative use [analgesics: 74.7% (183/245) vs. 59.8% (345/577); sedatives: 65.7% (161/245) vs. 51.3% (296/577); both P < 0.05], but there was no significant difference in the choice of analgesic or sedative agents between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of critically ill ICU patients in Guizhou Province who received standardized pain and agitation assessments was relatively low. The most commonly used assessment tools were CPOT and RASS, while remifentanil and midazolam were the most frequently used analgesic and sedative agents, respectively. Secondary-level hospitals had a lower rate of using standardized pain assessment tools compared to tertiary-level hospitals. Mechanical ventilation and hypotension were associated with the use of analgesic and sedative medications.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of the bortezomib, lenalidomide, and dexamethasone (VRD) regimen combined with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and renal impairment, analyze treatment efficacy and renal responses stratified based on renal dysfunction severity, and explore the prognostic significance of early renal response and its affecting factors.Methods:This retrospective study, conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, categorized 316 patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) from August 2018 to October 2022 based on renal function for analysis of clinical characteristics, treatment response, and prognosis. Continuous variables were compared using t-tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, categorical variables utilizing Chi-square tests, survival outcomes employing Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank tests, and renal response predictors with logistic regression.Results:Patients were stratified based on baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) : normal [≥90 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=160], mild [≥60 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1 to <90 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=55], moderate [≥30 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1 to <60 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=39], and severe impairment [<30 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1, n=62]. Moderate and severe renal impairment correlated with advanced International Staging System/Revised International Staging System classification, lower hemoglobin levels, frailty, and higher light-chain/IgD subtype prevalence ( P<0.05). Despite younger age ( P=0.001) and higher transplant rates ( P=0.041) in severe cases, overall response rates ( ORR: 93.7% ; ≥VGPR: 82.9% ) were comparable across groups ( P>0.05). Among 24 dialysis-dependent patients at diagnosis, 11 (45.8% ) achieved dialysis independence after induction [median: 3.0 (0.5–4.0) months], including 10 undergoing auto-HSCT. In 89 evaluable patients [baseline eGFR <50 ml·min -1· (1.73 m 2) -1], renal ORR (RORR) was 70.8% [rapid complete response: 31.5% ; rapid partial response: 11.2% ; rapid minimal response (RMR) : 28.1% ]. Renal response predicted better survival (overall survival: HR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.13–0.99, P=0.049). Moderate-to-severe renal impairment was associated with increased transplant-related adverse events and delayed engraftment ( P<0.05) ; however, auto-HSCT significantly improved outcomes after 33.5-month median follow-up (range: 2–65 months). Multivariate analysis identified 1q21+ ( OR=3.58, 95% CI: 1.17–11.02, P=0.026) and light-chain subtype ( OR=2.86, 95% CI: 1.08–7.69, P=0.036) as independent predictors of poor renal response. Conclusion:VRD regimen plus auto-HSCT demonstrates robust efficacy in NDMM, including patients with renal impairment, with a 70.8% RORR and manageable toxicity. Achieving ≥RMR correlates with superior prognosis, whereas 1q21+ and light-chain subtype independently predict inferior renal response.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for severe hyperbilirubinemia complicated by acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE), and the value of total serum bilirubin (TSB) and bilirubin (B)/albumin (A) ratio in predicting ABE.Methods:Clinical data of children with severe hyperbilirubinemia admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, Ordos Central Hospital, People's Hospital of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the Fourth Hospital of Baotou, Tongliao Hospital, Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hohhot, the Affiliated Hospital of Chifeng University, Manzhouli People's Hospital, and Chifeng Hospital from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021, were retrospectively collected. The subjects were divided into ABE and non-ABE groups based on the occurrence of ABE. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify high-risk factors for ABE. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, or Chi-square tests. Indicators with statistically significant differences were included in the multivariate logistic regression model, and stepwise regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of ABE. Results:(1) A total of 543 children were included in this study, accounting for 3.7% (543/14 831) of the total admissions during the same period. Among the 543 children, 81 (14.9%) had ABE, and 462 (85.1%) did not. The age at admission was (7.2±2.1) d, and the length of hospital stay was (5.2±2.2) d. The breastfeeding initiation time was 2 d (1-4 d) after birth. The peak TSB of the 543 cases was (385.98±51.22) μmol/L, and the age at peak TSB was (4.4±2.1) d. Fourteen cases (2.5%) gradually reached the peak TSB after admission [(392.01±61.24) μmol/L], while 529 cases (97.5%) had already reached the peak TSB at admission [(386.42±50.22) μmol/L]. Among the 543 cases, 356 had a clear etiology (65.6%, with 278 cases having a single cause and 78 cases having more than two causes), and 187 cases (34.4%) had an unknown etiology. (2) Compared with the non-ABE group, the breastfeeding initiation in the ABE group was later [6 h (2-6 h) vs. 2 h (1-3 h), Z=－6.87] and the length of hospital stay was longer [(6.5±1.9) d vs. (5.0±2.1) d, t=0.55]. The proportions of breastfeeding, delayed meconium passage, isoimmune hemolysis, and maternal gestational diabetes, as well as peak TSB and B/A ratio at peak TSB, were higher in the ABE group than in the non-ABE group [64.2% (52/81) vs. 36.8% (170/462), χ2=21.96; 16.0% (13/81) vs. 2.4% (11/462), χ2=27.32; 27.2% (22/81) vs. 10.6% (40/462), χ2=16.61; 24.7% (20/81) vs. 13.6% (63/462), χ2=6.50; (442±68) vs. (375±39) μmol/L, t=－8.55; (11.9±1.6) vs. (9.8±1.2), t=－11.61; all P<0.05]. The admission weight, proportion of transfer from the hospital's obstetrics department, unknown etiology, and breast milk jaundice were lower in the ABE group than in the non-ABE group [(3 098±482) vs. (3 278±493) g, t=3.04; 12.3% (10/81) vs. 42.4% (196/462), χ2=30.48; 3.7% (3/81) vs. 39.8% (184/462), χ2=39.83; 0.0% (0/81) vs. 5.8% (27/462), χ2=3.81; all P<0.05]. (3) Isoimmune hemolysis, peak TSB, and B/A ratio at peak TSB were independent risk factors for ABE [ OR(95% CI) were 2.924 (1.209-7.073), 1.006 (0.997-1.014), and 2.647 (1.841-3.805), respectively]. When the peak TSB was 380.05 μmol/L and the B/A ratio at peak TSB was 10.45, the sensitivity for predicting ABE was 0.963, the specificity was 0.789, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.752. Conclusions:Isoimmune hemolysis, peak TSB, and B/A ratio at peak TSB are independent risk factors for ABE. The B/A ratio at peak TSB and peak TSB can effectively predict ABE.

Objective To investigate the dietary patterns of rural residents in the high-incidence areas of esophageal cancer (EC), and to explore the clustering and influencing factors of risk factors associated with high-incidence characteristics. Methods A special structured questionnaire was applied to conduct a face-to-face survey on the dietary patterns of rural residents in Yanting county of Sichuan Province from July to August 2021. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors of risk factor clustering for EC. Results There were 838 valid questionnaires in this study. A total of 90.8% of rural residents used clean water such as tap water. In the past one year, the people who ate fruits and vegetables, soybean products, onions and garlic in high frequency accounted for 69.5%, 32.8% and 74.5%, respectively; the people who ate kimchi, pickled vegetables, sauerkraut, barbecue, hot food and mildew food in low frequency accounted for 59.2%, 79.6%, 68.2%, 90.3%, 80.9% and 90.3%, respectively. The clustering of risk factors for EC was found in 73.3% of residents, and the aggregation of two risk factors was the most common mode (28.2%), among which tumor history and preserved food was the main clustering pattern (4.6%). The logistic regression model revealed that the gender, age, marital status and occupation were independent influencing factors for the risk factors clustering of EC (P<0.05). Conclusion A majority of rural residents in high-incidence areas of EC in Yanting county have good eating habits, but the clustering of some risk factors is still at a high level. Gender, age, marital status, and occupation are influencing factors of the risk factors clustering of EC.

Objective To predict the structure and antigenic epitope of the Strongyloides stercoralis serine protease inhibitor 1 (Ss-SRPN-1) protein using bioinformatics tools, and to construct prokaryotic expression plasmids for expression of recombinant Ss-SRPN-1 protein, so as to provide the basis for unraveling the function of the Ss-SRPN-1 protein. Methods The amino acid sequence of the Ss-SRPN-1 protein was downloaded from the NCBI database, and the physicochemical properties, structure and antigenic epitopes of the Ss-SRPN-1 protein were predicted using bioinformatics tools, including ExPASy, SWISS-MODEL and Protean. Primers were designed according to the nucleotide sequences of Ss-SRPN-1, and the Ss-SRPN-1 gene was amplified, cloned and sequenced with genomic DNA extracted from the infective third-stage larvae of S. stercoralis as a template. The Ss-SRPN-1 protein sequence was cloned into the pET28a (+) expression vector and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE) cells for induction of the recombinant Ss-SRPN-1 protein expression. The recombinant Ss-SRPN-1 protein was then purified and identified using Western blotting and mass spectrometry. Results Bioinformatics analysis showed that the Ss-SRPN-1 protein, which was composed of 372 amino acids and had a molecular formula of C₁₉₄₈H₃₀₄₆N₄₈₈O₅₇₅S₁₆, was a stable hydrophilic protein, and the subcellular localization of the protein was predicted to be extracellular. The Ss-SRPN-1 protein was predicted to contain 11 dominant B-cell antigenic epitopes and 20 T-cell antigenic epitopes. The Ss-SRPN-1 gene with a length of 1 119 bp was successfully amplified, and the recombinant plasmid pET28a (+)/Ss-SRPN-1 was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE) cells. The expressed recombinant Ss-SRPN-1 protein had a molecular weight of approximately 43 kDa, and was characterized as a Ss-SRPN-1 protein. Conclusions The recombinant Ss-SRPN-1 protein has been expressed successfully, and this recombinant protein may be a potential vaccine candidate against strongyloidiasis.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of targeted intervention measures based on risk score of venous thromboembolism （VTE）， on the prevention of senile type 2 diabetes inpatients， as well as their influence on the occurrence of venous thromboembolism. MethodsA total of 134 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were hospitalized in geriatrics department of Peking university third hospital during June 1， 2018 to September 30， 2018 were selected as the research subjects. All the patients were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table method， with 67 patients in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional intervention methods， and patients in the observation group were treated with targeted intervention measures based on VTE risk score. After one month of intervention， the Padua score， blood glucose level and coagulation indexes of the two groups were compared. The incidence of thrombosis during the intervention period was also recorded. ResultsThe Padua score in observation group （2.09±2.17） points was significantly lower than that （3.19±2.37） points in control group （P<0.05）. The indexes of fasting blood glucose， 2h postprandial blood glucose and HbA1c in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group （P<0.05）. The fibrinogen， D-dimer， activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time in observation group were significantly lower than those in control group （P<0.05）. The incidence of DVT， PVT， lower limb swelling， pain and abnormal skin color in the observation group were 4.00%， 2.00%， 2.00%， 2.00%， and 0， respectively， and in the control group were 12.00%， 10.00%， 10.00%， 12.00%， and 8.00%， respectively. The incidence of adverse events in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionTargeted intervention based on VTE risk score can significantly reduce the risk of VTE occurrence， improve blood clotting function and blood glucose level in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This nursing measure has important clinical application value.

Objective:To formulate a blueprint for the care of radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, to implement and observe the effect.Methods:Using the convenient a sampling method, a total of 182 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy in Cancer Hospital of The University of China Academy of Sciences from July 2019 to June 2020 were selected as the research objects. A total of 91 patients from July to December 2019 were set as the control group and they received conventional radiotherapy care. A total of 91 patients from January to June 2020 were set as the intervention group. On the basis of the control group, the intervention group adopted conventional radiotherapy nursing and implemented the care blueprint based on the action study method. The incidence, severity and pain of RIOM were compared between the two groups.Results:In the 3rd to 5th week of radiotherapy, the incidences of RIOM in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . At week 3 and after radiotherapy, the severity of RIOM in the intervention group were less than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P <0.05) . At the end of radiotherapy, the degree of oral pain in the intervention group was lighter than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:RIOM care blueprint constructed in this study is scientific and valid. Evidence-based RIOM care blueprint can reduce the incidence and severity of RIOM in nasopharyngeal cancer patients and relieve oral pain, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the changes and clinical significance of serum S100β and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) levels of children with acute brain injury(ABI).Methods:100 children with ABI treated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from June 2019 to June 2020 were prospectively selected as the ABI group, and 30 normal children in the children′s health clinic of the hospital were selected as the control group. The serum S100β and NSE levels of all subjects was detected. According to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), children with ABI were divided into severe brain injury group ( n=26), moderate brain injury group ( n=35) and mild brain injury group ( n=39). The prognosis of children with ABI after 3 months of treatment was evaluated according to the Glasgow prognosis scale (GOS) and they were divided into poor prognosis group ( n=26) and good prognosis group ( n=74). The relationship between serum S100β and NSE levels and the severity and prognosis of children with ABI was analyzed. Results:The serum S100β and NSE levels in the ABI group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the serum S100β and NSE levels in children with ABI increased with the severity of injury and poor prognosis ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum S100β and NSE levels in children with ABI were positively correlated with GCS scores ( r=0.521, 0.643, P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that glucose(GLU) ( OR=1.631, 95% CI: 1.278-2.082), S100β ( OR=1.907, 95% CI: 1.558-5.877), NSE ( OR=2.896, 95% CI: 1.193-7.029) were independent prognostic factor in children with ABI ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of serum S100β+ NSE [area under curve (AUC)=0.932, 95% CI: 0.875-0.969] in predicting the poor prognosis of children with ABI were higher than those of serum S100β(AUC=0.728, 95% CI: 0.643-0.803), NSE (AUC=0.808, 95% CI: 0.729-0.871) alone. Conclusions:The levels of serum S100β and NSE in children with ABI aresignificantly increased, which are closely related to the severity of the disease and prognosis. They can be used as predictors of poor prognosis in children with ABI. Combined detection can enhance the diagnostic value.
