Objective:To compare the effects of remimazolam and propofol sedation on pulmonary ventilation in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 90 American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ to Ⅲ patients, aged 18-70 yr, with a body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective fiberoptic bronchoscopy and/or treatment under sedation at the Endoscopy Center of the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between November 2021 and December 2022, were divided into 2 groups ( n=45 each) using a random number table: remimazolam group (group R) and propofol group (group P). After intravenous injection of sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg, an initial dose of remimazolam 0.075 mg/kg and propofol 0.9 mg/kg was intravenously injected in group R and group P, respectively. When necessary, additional single doses of remimazolam 0.025 mg/kg or propofol 0.3 mg/kg were administered until the bispectral index value reached 60–80 and the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation score was ≤3 (successful sedation). Electrical impedance tomography was conducted immediately after entering the operating room, immediately after successful sedation, immediately after completion of bronchoscopy the procedure, and immediately upon awakening to calculate the tidal impedance variation, center of ventilation, and global inhomogeneity index. The time to successful sedation, emergence time, the lowest SpO 2 during sedation, and occurrence of adverse events such as respiratory depression, injection pain, hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia, bradycardia and dizziness were recorded. Results:Compared with group P, the tidal impedance variation was significantly increased immediately after the procedure, the global inhomogeneity index was decreased immediately after the procedure and upon awakening, the emergence time was prolonged, the lowest SpO 2 was elevated, and the incidence of hypotension and injection pain was decreased in group R ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with propofol sedation, remimazolam sedation has a smaller impact on pulmonary ventilation in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

The " no-accompany" service is an important measure to meet the patients′ needs for comprehensive, continuous, and high-quality diversified care and to enhance their medical experience. Starting in March 2024, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine launched a pilot " no-accompany" service in the breast surgery and dermatology wards. The hospital established a working team led by the nursing department and involving multiple administrative departments such as the medical affairs department, medical insurance office, and logistics management department. And the hospital has successfully advanced the implementation of the " no-accompany" ward program by establishing a multi-department collaborative management mechanism, standardizing the management of medical caregivers, developing a tiered fee scheme for the " no-accompany" service, and improving relevant service measures. The acceptance of the " no-accompany" service by patients increased from (3.93±0.83) in the second quarter of 2024 to (4.69±0.59) in the fourth quarter, and overall satisfaction rose from (4.18±0.73) to (4.50±0.54) (all P<0.001). The job competency of medical caregivers also improved significantly from (64.80±3.49) before starting work in March 2024 to (94.00±2.40) in the fourth quarter ( P<0.001). These findings provide a reference for the implementation of " no-accompany" services in public hospitals.

Objective To investigate the current status and barriers to implementing non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province,and to provide a basis for the improvement of standardized management of such services.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was conducted from September to October 2024 among all secondary and tertiary medical institutions in Zhejiang Province to assess the implementation status and barriers to non-accompanied care services.Results A total of 397 questionnaires were distributed,with 389 valid responses,yielding a valid response rate of 97.98％.Non-accompanied care services were implemented in 118 institutions(30.33％).Among these,90 institutions(76.27％)had established management systems for non-accompanied wards;71 institutions(60.17％)had a medical nursing assistant-to-bed ratio lower than 1∶5;41 institu-tions(34.75％)provided tiered training for medical nursing assistants;93 institutions(78.81％)required patients to bear the full cost of the service.Compared with secondary medical institutions,tertiary medical institutions have more complete management system for non-accompanied care services.The main obstacles hindering the development of non-accompanied care services include an imperfect management system for non-accompanied wards,a shortage of medical nursing assistants,a lack of standardized training for such assistants,inconsistent charging standards,and low acceptance among patients and their families.Conclusion The promotion of non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province has achieved initial success.However,challenges persist,including incomplete management systems,uneven development across hospital tiers,and imperfect charging mechanisms.It is recommended that relevant authorities strengthen policy support,enhance standardized training for healthcare nursing assistants,refine cost-sharing mechanisms,and improve the quality and sustainability of non-accompanied care services through multi-party collaboration.

Objective To explore and implement a differentiated management strategy for multi-campus hospitals to improve patient experience and satisfaction,and achieve the goal of homogenized management.Methods In December 2021,the Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire was used to survey the patient experience at 3 campuses of a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou,and the reasons for the differences were analyzed.Based on policy document reviews,special group discussions,and expert meetings,differentiated management strategy for multi-campus hospitals was formulated.The patient experience and satisfaction before(December 2021)and after(December 2023)the implementation were compared.Results After the application of the one-hospital multi-campus difference management strategy,the overall medical experience score of the patients in the 3 campus was(58.54±2.36)points,which was higher than(58.13±3.24)points before the application(t=-3.223,P=0.001),and there was no statistically significant differences among the patients in the 3 campuses(F=0.781,P=0.458).After the application of the management strategy,the overall satisfaction score of the patients in the 3 campus was(98.44±6.22)points,which was higher than(97.98±6.87)points before the application of the management strategy(t=-2.490,P=0.013),and there was no statistical significance among the patients in the 3 campus(F=1.128,P=0.324).The number of banners and letters of commendation received by the 3 campuses increased from 1 661 before the application to 2 190 after the application,with a growth rate of 31.85％.Conclusion Differentiated management in a multi-campus hospital,aiming at homogenized quality through differentiated strategies,is practicable and can significantly improve the patient experience and satisfaction across different campuses.

Objective:To identify the genetic causes of adverse pregnancy outcomes in five families and provide a basis for rational guidance on genetic and reproductive counseling.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on five families with a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes, where one partner was found to have a cryptic balanced translocation. These cases were identified among pregnant women who underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis at the Department of Medical Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis, Wuxi Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital, from January 2016 to June 2023. Conventional G-banding karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were performed on affected children/fetus samples. Chromosome G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used for parental tracing. Genetic counseling was provided for all cases, and the pregnancy outcomes were followed up. Descriptive analysis was applied in this study. Results:Case 1 involved an eldest son with unexplained intellectual disability, and the CMA results showed an 8.6 Mb deletion in the 4p16.3p16.1 region and a 1.0 Mb duplication in the 7q36.3 region. Unbalanced translocations were detected in the current pregnancies of the other four cases, which were a 6.1 Mb duplication in the 14q32.2q32.33 region with a 1.6 Mb deletion in the 21q22.3 region (Case 2), a 10.8 Mb duplication in the 6q25.3q27 region with a 1.2 Mb deletion in the 15q26.3 region (Case 3), a 1.0 Mb duplication in the 5p15.33 region with a 2.9 Mb deletion in the 6q27 region (Case 4), and a 3.2 Mb deletion in the 1q44 region with a 4.8 Mb duplication in the 19p13.3 region (Case 5). FISH confirmed that either the husband or the wife in each of the five families was a carrier of a cryptic balanced translocation. Further CMA testing on amniotic fluid samples from previous terminated pregnancies of Cases 3 and 4 also indicated unbalanced translocations. Both the current pregnancy of Case 1 and the subsequent pregnancy of Case 2 gave birth to healthy babies after non-abnormal prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling. Cases 3 to 5 are currently preparing for pregnancy.Conclusion:Advances and combined application of genetic technologies will be conducive to improving the diagnosis of cryptic balanced translocations in some families with adverse pregnancy outcomes, providing a sound basis for genetic counseling in future pregnancy.

Objective Bioinformatics tools were used to conduct a prediction analysis of common CYP2C9 variants(*3)and new variants(*76-*85)in our population,aiming to illustrate the impact of amino acid variants on the multidimensional aspects of CYP2C9 protein structure,properties,and functions.Methods The physicochemical properties,glycosylation and phosphorylation mod-ification,important structural domains,spatial structure and functional changes,and docking mode with the probe drug,tolbutamide,were predicted for each variant by applying various analytical tools.Results Compared with CYP2C9*1,the variants showed different degrees and multiple levels of alterations in amino acid sequence,local structural domains,phosphorylation sites,physicochemical proper-ties,tertiary structure,and docking patterns with substrates.*76 and*84 showed local structure,overall spatial structure,and function disruptions,and they were also correlated with disease outbreaks.*78-*79 and*81-*82 variants showed significant heterogeneity in the predicted results at different levels;*85 had an early termination codon and deletion of most critical structural domains due to a code-shift mutation,and the results suggested that it might affect the protein translation and the assembly of the whole enzyme.The pre-dicted results of the physicochemical properties,local structural domains,and stability of*3 were all non-significantly altered in com-parison with*1;however,docking results showed that*3 protein and tolbutamide were significantly changed in the shape,three-di-mensional size,and contact pattern of the docking pocket.Conclusion This study analyzed the effects of amino acid variants on pheno-types from multiple perspectives and levels,including protein primary,secondary,and tertiary structures,holoenzyme-drug docking,physicochemical properties,and functions,which provides essential references and new interpretative perspectives for future structural elu-cidation,ex vivo and in vivo drug metabolism experiments,and individualized dosing of CYP2C9 variants.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and prognostic factors of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in patients with secondary acute myeloid leukemia (sAML) .Methods:In this multicenter, retrospective clinical study, adult patients aged ≥18 years who underwent allo-HSCT for sAML at four centers of the Zhejiang Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Collaborative Group from January 2014 to November 2022 were included, and the efficacy and prognostic factors of allo-HSCT were analyzed.Results:A total of 95 patients were enrolled; 66 (69.5%) had myelodysplastic syndrome-acute myeloid leukemia (MDS-AML) , 4 (4.2%) had MDS/MPN-AML, and 25 (26.3%) had therapy-related AML (tAML) . The 3-year CIR, LFS, and overall survival (OS) rates were 18.6% (95% CI 10.2%-27.0%) , 70.6% (95% CI 60.8%-80.4%) , and 73.3% (95% CI 63.9%-82.7%) , respectively. The 3-year CIRs of the M-AML group (including MDS-AML and MDS/MPN-AML) and the tAML group were 20.0% and 16.4%, respectively ( P=0.430) . The 3-year LFSs were 68.3% and 75.4%, respectively ( P=0.176) . The 3-year OS rates were 69.7% and 75.4%, respectively ( P=0.233) . The 3-year CIRs of the groups with and without TP53 mutations were 60.0% and 13.7%, respectively ( P=0.003) ; the 3-year LFSs were 20.0% and 76.5%, respectively ( P=0.002) ; and the 3-year OS rates were 40.0% and 77.6%, respectively ( P=0.002) . According to European LeukmiaNet 2022 (ELN2022) risk stratification, the 3-year CIRs of patients in the low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups were 8.3%, 17.8%, and 22.6%, respectively ( P=0.639) . The three-year LFSs were 91.7%, 69.5%, and 65.6%, respectively ( P=0.268) . The 3-year OS rates were 91.7%, 71.4%, and 70.1%, respectively ( P=0.314) . Multivariate analysis revealed that advanced disease at allo-HSCT and TP53 mutations were independent risk factors for CIR, LFS, and OS. Conclusion:There was no significant difference in the prognosis of patients who underwent allo-HSCT among the MDS-AML, MDS/MPN-AML, and tAML groups. Advanced disease at transplantation and TP53 mutations were poor prognostic factors. ELN2022 risk stratification had limited value for predicting the prognosis of patients with sAML following allo-HSCT.
