Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with the occurrence of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (RNETs) and construct a risk prediction model. Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent electronic colonoscopy were collected. The clinical information on patients with and without RNETs were compared, and potential risk factors for RNETs were identified. Binary logistic regression was performed to analyze the relevant risk factors and construct a risk prediction model. Results Among 164 patients, 66 were diagnosed with RNETs, and 98 who did not have such a condition were randomly selected. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, fatty liver, anxiety and depression, total cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were significant factors influencing the occurrence of RNETs (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age (P=0.015), anxiety and depression (P=0.031), cholesterol level (P=0.009), fatty liver (P=0.001), and CEA (P<0.001) as independent risk factors for RNETs. The participants were randomly divided into training and test sets at a 7:3 ratio. The training set was used to construct a nomogram-based risk prediction model, and the testing set was used for internal validation. The area under the curve values for the training and testing sets were 0.843 and 0.772, respectively (P>0.05). These findings indicate a good discriminative performance. The calibration curves for the training and testing sets were in good agreement with the 45° standard line, which suggests that the predicted probabilities were consistent with the actual outcomes. Decision curve analysis showed that the model provided a high net benefit within a threshold range of 0.2 to 0.7 for clinical decision making. Conclusion Young age, fatty liver, high CEA levels, high cholesterol levels, and anxiety and depression are independent risk factors for RNETs. The nomogram model constructed based on these risk factors exhibits a strong capability to predict the occurrence of RNETs, and clinical intervention can be considered based on the predicted probability values.

BACKGROUND: The role of inflammation in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has recently become a focus of research. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), novel indices, reflect the body's chronic immune-inflammatory state. This study aimed to investigate the associations between the SII or SIRI and GDM. METHODS: A prospective birth cohort study was conducted at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from February 2018 to December 2020, recruiting participants in their first trimester of pregnancy. Baseline SII and SIRI values were derived from routine clinical blood results, calculated as follows: SII = neutrophil (Neut) count × platelet (PLT) count/lymphocyte (Lymph) count, SIRI = Neut count × monocyte (Mono) count/Lymph count, with participants being grouped by quartiles of their SII or SIRI values. Participants were followed up for GDM with a 75-g, 2-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 24-28 weeks of gestation using the glucose thresholds of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG). Logistic regression was used to analyze the odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) for the the associations between SII, SIRI, and the risk of GDM. RESULTS: Among the 28,124 women included in the study, the average age was 31.8 ± 3.8 years, and 15.76% (4432/28,124) developed GDM. Higher SII and SIRI quartiles were correlated with increased GDM rates, with rates ranging from 12.26% (862/7031) in the lowest quartile to 20.10% (1413/7031) in the highest quartile for the SII ( Ptrend <0.001) and 11.92-19.31% for the SIRI ( Ptrend <0.001). The ORs (95% CIs) of the second, third, and fourth SII quartiles were 1.09 (0.98-1.21), 1.21 (1.09-1.34), and 1.39 (1.26-1.54), respectively. The SIRI findings paralleled the SII outcomes. For the second through fourth quartiles, the ORs (95% CIs) were 1.24 (1.12-1.38), 1.41 (1.27-1.57), and 1.64 (1.48-1.82), respectively. These associations were maintained in subgroup and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION The SII and SIRI are potential independent risk factors contributing to the onset of GDM.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of psychological distress among parents of children with cancer and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Totally 334 parents of pediatric oncology patients meeting the inclusion criteria were selected by convenience sampling from Hunan Children's Hospital between June and October 2022. A questionnaire survey was conducted using a general information questionnaire, Distress Thermometer, Social Support Rating Scale, and Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale-Family Member Form.Results:A total of 334 questionnaires were distributed, with 298 valid responses received, making the effective response rate 89.22%. The DT score of the 298 parents of pediatric oncology patients was (7.58±2.85). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that parental gender, the impact of caregiving on income, economic pressure, uncertainty in illness, and social support were significant influencing factors of the parents' psychological distress ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The psychological distress of parents of children with cancer is at a relatively high level and is influenced by multiple factors. Medical professionals can implement targeted interventions based on specific circumstances to alleviate the psychological distress of these parents.

Objective:To build a transcultural self-management objective incentive framework for adolescents with tuberculosis, so as to provide reference for improving the self-management ability of adolescents with tuberculosis.Methods:Based on the theory of transcultural nursing and process motivation, group discussion and literature search, 24 experts from eight ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals across the country were consulted by Delphi method to form a transcultural self-management objective incentive framework for adolescents with tuberculosis. The positive coefficient of experts was evaluated by questionnaire response rate, the degree of coordination was expressed by the Kendall harmony coefficient, and the degree of authority was expressed by the authority coefficient of expert consultation.Results:After two rounds of consultation, the positive coefficients of experts were both 100%, the authoritative coefficients of the experts were 0.965, and the Kendall harmony coefficients of the expert opinions were 0.309 and 0.402, respectively ( P<0.05). Finally, a transcultural self-management objective incentive framework for adolescents with tuberculosis was formed, including six first-level indicators, 24 second-level indicators and 49 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The transcultural self-management objective incentive framework for adolescents with tuberculosis has high enthusiasm and authority for expert consultation, which is helpful to improve the self-management ability of adolescents with tuberculosis.

Objective:To explore application effect of early respiratory training schemes based on 4E mode (Engage, Educate, Execute, Evaluate) in children with bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) and provide evidence for the clinical implementation of early respiratory rehabilitation in children with BO.Methods:This was a quasi-experimental study. The children with BO who were admitted to 2 wards of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, with 23 cases in each group. The control group received routine treatment, nursing and rehabilitation guidance. The experimental group established a multidisciplinary team based on the control group, and used the early respiratory training program based on the 4E model to implement intervention. The clinical symptom severity scale was used to evaluate the improvement of the clinical symptoms of the children within 24 hours of being diagnosed as BO, the day of discharge, and 1 and 3 months after discharge for re-examination, and the hospitalization time of the children and the incidence of adverse events related to respiratory training were counted by using medical records and questionnaires.Results:The clinical symptom severity scores of the experimental group within 24 hours of admission diagnosis and the day of discharge were (20.00 ± 2.51) and (11.30 ± 2.46)points respectively, while those of the control group were (20.57 ± 2.21) and (11.70 ± 2.42) points respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( t=0.81, 0.54, both P>0.05). The clinical symptom severity scores of the experimental group were(10.52 ± 2.31) and (8.55 ± 1.06) points, lower than (12.32 ± 1.39) and (12.45 ± 2.19) points of the control group when they returned to the hospital for re-examination 1 and 3 months after discharge, with a statistically significant difference ( t=3.14, 7.25, both P<0.05). The experimental group was hospitalized for (11.78 ± 1.17) days, which was showter than (13.74 ± 1.63) days in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=4.68, P<0.05). No respiratory training-related adverse events occurred in both groups of children during hospitalization. During home respiratory training after discharge, 1 and 2 respiratory training-related adverse events occurred in the experimental group 1 and 3 months after discharge, respectively, compared with 6 and 9 in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.64, 5.94, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Early respiratory training solutions based on the 4E mode can improve the clinical symptoms of BO children, shorten the hospitalization time, reduce the number of adverse events related to respiratory training, and promote the recovery of children.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of child cases admitted to accidental injury and provide reliable basis for the prevention of accidental injury.Methods:The clinical data of children admitted to Hunan Children′s Hospital aged 0-18 due to accidental injuries from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The type of accidental injury and characteristic factors such as prognosis, gender, age, time, and location of the child were analyzed.Results:A total of 9 049 children with accidental injury were admitted, accounting for 3.72%(9 049/33 697) of the total number of hospitalized children. The top three types of accidental injuries were falls/drop (3 695 cases), foreign bodies/suffocation (2 639 cases) and traffic accidents (1 165 cases), accounting for 82.87%(7 499/9 049). There were 8 760 cases (96.81%) of improvement and recovery, 178 cases (1.97%) of disability, and 111 cases (1.23%) of unhealed/dead. Among the accidental injuries, 5 833 cases (64.46%) were boys and 3 216 cases (35.54%) were girls, and the incidence ratio was 1.81∶1. There was significant difference between boys and girls in the composition ratio of the type of accidental injury such as falls/falls, foreign bodies/suffocation, poisoning, sharp object injury, drowning ( χ2 values were 3.90-20.56, all P<0.05). Among the accidental injuries, the children aged 1 to<3 years had higher accidental injuries than the other age groups (3 263 cases, accounting for 36.06%), and the composition ratio of accidental injuries in different age groups was different ( χ2 values were 12.98-573.97, all P<0.05). Among the accidental injuries, the accidental injuries occurred in the second quarter and the third quarter were higher than those in the other two quarters (4 892 cases, accounting for 54.06%), and the composition ratio of accidental injuries such as falls/falls, foreign bodies/suffocation, burn and scald, drowning occurred in different quarters was different ( χ2 values were 10.79-18.88, all P<0.05). In the case of accidental injuries, the family was the most likely place of accidental injury, with different types of accidental injuries occurring in different places ( χ2 values were 10.08-2 186.54, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Children′s unintentional injuries are most likely to occur in boys aged 1-<3 years, and fall/fall is the main injury type. Traffic accidents are the most important unintentional injury type leading to children′s unhealed/dead. Different injury types were related to child gender, age, quarter, and place of occurrence.Due to the differences in the occurrence mechanism and injury mode of accidental injuries in different countries and regions, and the majority of accidental injuries can be prevented, targeted preventive measures should be taken according to the characteristics of children′s accidental injuries in different regions, and a comprehensive prevention system for children′s accidental injuries should be constructed to ensure children′s safety.

Objective:To explore the family resilience resources in parents of children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia (CPT) , so as to provide a reference for formulating nursing intervention to improve their family resilience.Methods:From December 2020 to January 2021, purposive sampling was used to select 13 father or mother of children with CPT in the Department of Orthopedics of Hunan Children's Hospital as the research object. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of children with CPT using the phenomenological method in qualitative research. Colaizzi 7-step method was used to organize, summarize, analyze and refine the data.Results:The family resilience resources of parents of children with CPT were reflected in three aspects, namely, personal resources, family resources and social resources.Conclusions:Family resilience interventions should make full use of their own resources when implemented in parents of children with CPT. Individualized continuous intervention should be provided by taking into account the learning ability and psychological state of the children's parents and in combination with specific needs. The intervention target should include as many family members as possible, and strengthen the establishment of a diversified support system to help parents of children with a large number of social resources.
