Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective To explore the effect of the diagnosis and endoscopic minimally invasive surgical treatment of non-cystic congenital pyriform sinus fistula(CPSF)in children.Methods Clinical data of 76 children with non-cystic CPSF were retrospectively analyzed from October 2017 to May 2022.Larygoscope,neck color ultrasound,esophageal barium meal,neck CT,and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)were performed,and temperature-controlled ablation radio-frequency was performed under general anesthesia supported by laryngoscope guidance.Results The internal fistula in the pyriform fossa was seen under laryngoscope.Imaging examination shows that the fistula was connected to the pharynx.Postoperative complications:hoarseness in 3 cases and deciduous tooth loss in 3 cases.After a follow-up period of 12～40 months,there was 1 recurrence in 46 newly treated patients and 1 recurrence in 30 non newly treated patients.No recurrence was observed during the follow-up period after re-endoscopic radiofrequency plasma surgical electrodes plasma cauterization.Conclusion The symptoms of CPSF are non-specific.The discovery of the internal fistula under endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis.Ultrasound can be used as the initial screening method for diagnosis.Esophageal barium meal combined with CT examination can improve the diagnostic rate,and MRI can assist in diagnosis.The temperature-controlled ablation radio-frequency technique under supportive laryngoscope has the advantages of safety,minimally invasive,aesthetic,convenient,and repeatable operation,and can be used as the preferred method for the treatment of non-cystic CPSF in children.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous polidocanol sclerotherapy of the thyroglossal duct cysts in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 26 children who were treated with ultrasound-guided percutaneous puncture sclerosis for thyroglossal duct cysts in Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from October 2019 to April 2022, the size of the cyst before treatment was recorded, and the cyst volume in accordance with V(ml) =1/6 πabc cyst volume was calculated. The follow-up time was the 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 12th months after sclerotherapy. And the cyst volume and volume reduction ratio at different time points was calculated. According to changes in the cystic volume, the treatment was considered effective if the cyst volume reduction rate was≥50%. Cosmetic grading scores (CGS) were performed pre-treatment and at the last follow-up after sclerotherapy using the WHO grading system. Complications were recorded during the follow-up period.Results:The cyst volume before treatment was 2.67 (3.78)ml, and the cyst volume at the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th month after treatment were 0.66(1.83), 0.45(0.87), 0.40(0.70), 0.38 (0.63)ml, respectively, there were significant differences between pre-treatment and each time point after-treatment (all P<0.001); the volume reduction rate at the last follow-up was (81.48±14.57)%. The reduction rate of cyst volume was more than 50% at the last follow-up in 22 children, the treatment efficiency was 84.62% (22/26). The cosmetic grading scores at the last follow-up after sclerotherapy was 1.74(1.50), and it decreased significantly compared with the pre-treatment score 3.85(0)( P<0.001). There was no skin pigmentation, pain in the injection area, local urticaria and blistering after sclerotherapy, no adverse reactions such as cyst bleeding and drunkenness-like reaction, and no serious complications occurred. There were 2 cases of cysts that presented infection with fever, and no serious complications occurred. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided percutaneous sclerotherapy is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for thyroglossal duct cysts in children.

{L-End}Objective To analyze the current status of occupational stress and its influencing factors among workers in pharmaceutical enterprises in Beijing City. {L-End}Methods A total of 860 employees from six pharmaceutical enterprises in Beijing City were selected as the research subjects using convenience sampling method. The Chinese version of the New Brief Job Stress Questionnaire was used to evaluate the occupational stress, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of occupational stress. {L-End}Results The detection rate of high occupational stress was 1.40% (12/860). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the workers with higher education level and longer length of service had a higher risk of high occupational stress (all P<0.01). Workers who were satisfied with their jobs had a lower risk of high occupational stress than those who were unsatisfied with their jobs (P<0.01). Workers who were satisfied with life had a significantly lower risk of high occupational stress than those who were unsatisfied with life (P<0.01). {L-End}Conclusion The detection rate of high occupational stress in workers of pharmaceutical enterprises is relatively low. Occupational stress is mainly affected by individual factors such as education level and length of service, and work and life satisfaction. Improving job and life satisfaction is helpful to reduce occupational stress level.

Objective:To analyze the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of traumatic spinal cord injury in China in 2018.Methods:Multi-stage stratified cluster sampling was used to randomly select hospitals capable of treating patients with spinal cord injury from 3 regions，9 provinces and 27 cities in China to retrospectively investigate eligible patients with traumatic spinal cord injury admitted in 2018. National and regional incidence rates were calculated. The data of cause of injury，injury level，severity of injury，segment and type of fracture，complications，death and other data were collected by medical record questionnaire，and analyzed according to geographical region，age and gender.Results:Medical records of 4，134 patients were included in this study，with a male-to-female ratio of 2.99∶1. The incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury in China in 2018 was 50.484 / 1 million （95% CI 50.122-50.846）. The highest incidence in the Eastern region was 53.791 / 1 million （95% CI 53.217-54.365）. In the whole country，the main causes of injury were high falls （29.58%），as well as in the Western region （40.68%），while the main causes of injury in the Eastern and Central regions were traffic injuries （31.22%，30.10%）. The main injury level was cervical spinal cord in the whole country （64.49%），and the proportion of cervical spinal cord injury in the Central region was the highest （74.68%），and the proportion of lumbosacral spinal cord injury in the Western region was the highest （32.30%）. The highest proportion of degree of injury was incomplete quadriplegia （55.20%），and the distribution pattern was the same in each region. A total of 65.87% of the patients were complicated with fracture or dislocation，77.95% in the Western region and only 54.77% in the Central region. In the whole country，the head was the main combined injury （37.87%），as well as in the Eastern and Central regions，while the proportion of chest combined injury in the Western region was the highest （38.57%）. A total of 32.90% of the patients were complicated with respiratory complications. There were 23 patients （0.56%） died in hospital，of which 17（73.91%） died of respiratory dysfunction. Conclusions:The Eastern region of China has a high incidence of traumatic spinal cord injury. Other epidemiological features include high fall as the main cause of injury cervical spinal cord injury as the main injury level，incomplete quadriplegia as the main degree of injury，head as the main combined injury，and respiratory complications as the main complication.

Objective:To screen serum protein markers and evaluate their diagnostic application value in hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).Methods:Serum samples of patients with HBV-ACLF, chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and normal healthy volunteers ( n = 5/group) were determined by cytokine antibody chip in line with the Chinese Diagnostic Standards Study for HBV-ACLF (COSSH-ACLF) cohort. The differentially expressed proteins significance were identified by microarray analysis and prediction. The preliminary serological markers of HBV-ACLF were screened for diagnosis. The potential markers were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) analysis and liver tissue immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of HBV-ACLF. Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the continuous measurement data between the two groups, and analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the continuous measurement data between multiple groups. Results:Cytokine antibody chip preliminary screening results showed that the expression levels of these six cytokines, namely, macrophage inflammatory protein 3α (MIP-3α), hepatocyte growth factor, E-selectin, osteopontin, growth differentiation factor 15 and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cellular adhesion molecule 1 were significantly increased in the HBV-ACLF group. Among them, the expression level of MIP-3α was significantly higher in the HBV-ACLF group (99.6 times higher than CHB group and 146.9 times higher than healthy volunteers’ group, respectively, P < 0.0001) as validated by serum ELISA in 132 HBV-ACLF cases, 91 CHB cases and 72 healthy volunteers. AUROC analysis showed that the high expression of MIP-3α could be used as a marker to distinguish patients with HBV-ACLF from CHB. The AUROC was 0.995 (95% CI: 0.990 ~ 1.000), with sensitivity and specificity of 95.5% and. 98.9%, respectively. Immunohistochemistry showed that MIP-3α was positively expressed in HBV-ACLF-derived liver tissues, and negatively expressed in CHB-derived liver and normal liver tissues. Conclusion:Serum MIP-3α level is closely related to the pathological characteristics of HBV-ACLF. Therefore, it may be used as a potential serological marker for the diagnosis of HBV-ACLF.

The concept and significance of readiness for hospital discharge, measuring tools, application status, shortcomings and prospects of readiness for hospital discharge among patients with chronic diseases were reviewed in this article, with attempts to draw more attention to the readiness for hospital discharge among patients with chronic diseases in clinical practice and provide theoretical basis for forming the intervention plan suitable for China.

Objective To understand the hospital discharge readiness and discharge instruction quality in chronic disease patients and to analyze the correlation between them. Methods Totals of 602 chronic disease patients of related departments from 7 ClassⅢGrade A hospitals in Shanghai were selected by convenience sampling. All of them were investigated with the general information questionnaire, Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) and Quality of Discharge Teaching Scale (QDTS), and their data were analyzed. Results Among those patients, the scores of hospital discharge readiness and discharge instruction quality were (8.01±1.41) and (8.65±1.29) out of 10 respectively. The score of hospital discharge readiness had a positive correlation with the score of discharge instruction quality with a statistical difference (r=0.507, P＜ 0.01). Conclusions Hospital discharge readiness and discharge instruction quality of chronic disease patients are all in high levels and with a positive correlation. Nurses should enrich the content of discharge instruction to improve the quality of discharge instruction by appropriate instruction skills and to improve the hospital discharge readiness.

OBJECTIVETo observe the multiple symptom distribution, severity and quality of life of female pelvic floor dysfunction(FPFD) patients with constipation as chief complaint.

METHODSOne hundred FPFD patients with constipation as chief complaint from Speciaty Outpatient Clinic, Pelvic Floor Center of Nanjing Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between September 2015 and February 2017 were retrospectively enrolled in this study. A comprehensive medical history questionnaire survey and systematical evaluation of severity and quality of life of these patients with constipation was conducted. Constipation scoring system scale (CSS) and patient-assessment of constipation quality of life questionnaire (PAC-QOL) were applied to evaluate the constipation. Other scales included: (1)pain visual analogue scale (VAS) and short form-36 questionnaire (SF-36): if combined with chronic functional anal rectal pain; (2) international consultation on incontinence questionnaire-short form (ICIQ-SF) and urinary incontinence quality of life questionnaires (I-QOL):if combined with urinary incontinence; (3) fecal incontinence severity score scale (Wexner-FIS) and fecal incontinence quality of life questionnaire (FI-QOL):if combined with fecal incontinence.

RESULTSThe mean age of 100 FPFD patients was (57.9±13.9) (24-89) years and the mean disease course was (7.0±8.2)(0.5-40.0) years. Seventy-five cases (75%) were complicated with anal pain, 70 with urinary incontinence, 37 with rectocele, 19 with nocturia, 11 with urinary frequency, 10 with defecation incontinence. Complication with only one symptom was observed in 20 cases (20%), and with two or more symptoms was observed in 80 cases (80%). Pelvic floor relaxation syndrome patients were dominant (58 cases, 58%). The severity of constipation (CSS) was 6-22 (13.89±3.79) points and the quality of life (PAC-QOL) was 45-133 (87.13±18.57) points in FPFD patients. VAS and SF-36 of patients combined with chronic functional anal rectal pain were 1-8 (3.0±1.9) points and 14.4-137.0(71.5±31.4) points respectively. ICIQ-SF and I-QOL of patients combined with urinary incontinence were 1-17 (6.1±3.6) points and 52-110 (90.0±15.8) points respectively. Wexner-FIS and FI-QOL of patients combined with fecal incontinence were 1-11 (4.4±3.0) points and 52-116 (83.4±23.3) points respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe symptoms of FPFD patients with constipation as chief complaint are complex. They are mainly complicated with anal diseases, then urinary incontinence, and mostly with more than 2 symptoms. Their quality of life is poor.
