OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of the comprehensive unit-based safety program(CUSP)collaborative action strategy on reducing the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection(CAUTI)in elderly patients.METHODS From Jun.to Nov.2024,the Seventh Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital implemented the CUSP collaborative action strategy for intervention.Comparisons were made between pre-intervention(from Dec.2023 to May 2024)and post-intervention(from Jun.to Nov.2024)regarding nurses' know ledge-attitude-practice(KAP)scores on CAUTI prevention,implementation rates of key nursing measures for elderly CAUTI prevention and CAUTI incidence rates among elderly patients.RESULTS The pre-intervention KAP score of nurses from geriatric de-partment on CAUTI prevention was(83.44±6.67),significantly lower than the post-intervention score(108.19±16.27)(P＜0.001).The implementation rates of 10 key nursing measures for elderly CAUTI prevention improved(P＜0.05).The incidence rate of CAUTI was 2.88‰(16/5 546)among 5 546 catheter days before the intervention,and the incidence rate of CAUTI was 0.73‰(4/5 496)among 5 496 catheter days after the intervention(P=0.008).CONCLUSIONS The CUSP collaborative action strategy effectively enhances the KAP levels of nurses from geriatric department on CAUTI prevention,improves the implementation rates of key nursing measures,and reduces CAUTI incidence rates among elderly patients.

Objective To explore the impact of the TINCR-MAF:MAFB transcription factor network on the expression of proliferation and differentiation-related genes in keratinocytes,to verify the role of this network in the occurrence and development of psoriasis and its potential mechanisms.Methods Employed RNA interference technology to knock down TINCR gene expression,and the proliferation ability of keratinocytes was assessed using the CCK-8 method.Additionally,qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses were conducted to evaluate the RNA and protein expression levels of TINCR,MAFB,and KLF4 genes.Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression of KLF4 protein in psoriasis tissues.Results After TINCR gene siRNA interference,the proliferation ability of keratinocytes significantly decreased at 24,48,and 72 hours(P<0.001),indicating that the TINCR gene plays a critical role in cell proliferation.The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot analyses showed that the RNA and protein expression levels of TINCR,MAFB,and KLF4 genes were significantly reduced(P<0.001),suggesting that TINCR may influence the differentiation of keratinocytes by regulating the expression of MAFB transcription factor and KLF4 differentiation-related genes.Furthermore,immunohistochemical results indicated that the expression of KLF4 protein was significantly elevated in psoriasis tissues compared to normal skin tissues,suggesting that KLF4 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.Conclusions The TINCR-MAF:MAFB transcription factor network may participate in the occurrence and development of psoriasis by affecting the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes.This finding provides a new perspective on the pathogenesis of psoriasis and potential targets for future therapeutic strategies.

Objective To explore the feasibility and advantages of early open-heart radical operation on infants and children with Tetralogy of Fallot(TOF) in different ages and to analyze its perioperative outcomes.Methods The clinical data of 390 infants and children with TOF were analyzed, who underwent extracorporeal circulation open-heart surgery from January 2007 to January 2014 at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery,the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University.The operative age ranged from 3 months to 14 years(mean 3 years).There were 172 infants(＜ 1 year old)and 218 children(≥ 1 year old).Some accompanied abnormalities included atrial septal defect (33 cases),patent ductus arteriosus (17 cases),coronary artery anomalies (8 cases), and multiple ventricular septal defect (5 cases).Results Ten patients died, and the overall mortality during hospital stay was 2.56％.The mortality of the infants group and the children group was 2.32％ (4/172 cases) and 2.75 ％ (6/218 cases), respectively,and there was no significant difference (x2 =0.000, P =1.000).Extracorporeal circulation time was (89.16 ± 74.38) min and (83.14 ± 66.72)min, respectively, aortic clamping time was (59.75 ± 35.20) min and (54.70 ± 38.54)min respectively, operation time were (185.34 ± 168.64)min and (163.35 ± 150.15) min respectively, duration of postoperative ventilation were (57.17 ± 67.46) h and (47.50 ± 58.39) h, respectively, the hospitalization time in the Intensive Care Unit was (5.08 ± 7.93) d and (3.71 ± 5.40) d, respectively, and the postoperative stay averaged (13.82 ± 17.78) d and (9.52 ± 8.74) d respectively in the infants group and the children group;there was no significant differences between 2 groups (t =1.937,1.890, 1.991,1.887,1.951,1.931;P =0.259, 0.713, 0.194, 0.739,0.241,0.308).Conclusions The curative effect of early cardiac surgical treatment on infants with TOF is considerably good with low morbidity and mortality.Early cardiac surgical treatment can avoid delayed development and growth in children, hypoxemic spells,sudden death and some other kind of adverse events.

Objective The bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) is a major step in the staged palliation of functionally univentricular heart defects.Whether to preserve of additional pulmonary blood flow (APBF) has been a highly controversial issue.The purpose is to mathematical model and set out to determine the significa advantages and disadvantages of bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt with additional pulmonary blood flow:a theoretical analysis nce of APBF and the appropriate APBF ratio.Methods We used models of the univentricular circulation after the bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis with additional pulmonary blood and to computational analyze the impact of APBF on oxygen delivery,APBF flow on the CVP and SaO2.Results The influence of APBF depends on the ratio of superior vena cava flow to inferior vena cava flow ( QSVC/QIVC ).For QSVC/QIVC ＞ 0.3,APBF may be associated with decreased oxygen delivery.For QSVC/QIVC ＜ 0.3,appropriate APBF may be associated with increased oxygen delivery.A linear relationship exists between the increase of APBF and CVP,and the slope was depended on the value of pulmonary vascular resistance.Estimating APBF from CVP measurements may be a feasible method.A nonlinear relationship between the increase of APBF and oxygen saturation,and estimating APBF from SaO2 measurements may result in errors.BCPS and appropriate APBF may optimal the oxygen delivery with the increase of age and the decrease in QSVC/QIVC.For patients who accepted BCPS without APBF,there is a decreasing tendency of oxygen delivery with the increase of age and the decrease in QSVC/QIVC.For patients who suffered pulmonary arterivenous malformation,there is a more obvious decrease in oxygen delivery.ConclusionFor patients under age who has normal pulmonary vascularbed ( that is,QSVC/QVC ＞ 0.3),elimination of additional pulmonary blood flow can improve the oxygen delivery under a given cardiac output.For patients who with hypoplastic pulmonary vascular or in older patients under age,APBF is necessary to improve oxygen delivery.For patients who have to accept BCPS as the final procedure,preserving of APBF is suggested.
