Objective:To explore the psychological experience and demand of parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery.Methods:This study adopted phenomenological research methods from qualitative research. Using the purposive sampling method, parents of postoperative delayed recovery children with congenital heart disease who met the inclusion criteria were selected as the research objects from October to November 2019 at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the parents of the children, and the data were analyzed by Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:Finally, 13 parents of children with delayed recovery after congenital heart disease surgery were included. According to the interview results, four themes were extracted, which were negative psychological experience of parents of children with delayed recovery, positive psychological experience and expectation change of parents, heavy economic burden of parents and diversified needs of parents.Conclusions:During the delayed recovery period, psychological experience of parents is complex and their needs are diverse. The nursing staff should identify and pay attention to the causes of the negative psychological experience of the parents of the children, timely channel their negative emotions and strengthen the positive psychological experience in many aspects. They can assist parents to seek social help to reduce physical and mental pressure and meet the diverse needs of parents by providing high-quality nursing services and multi-channel information support.

Objective:To construct an analytic method aimed at the characteristics of the commonly method of supplementing and pouring of acupuncture based on the analysis and modeling of ultrasound images around acupoint region in the process of acupuncture.Methods:A total of 7 healthy subjects who underwent physical examination in Beijing Zhongguancun Hospital from June,2022 to June,2023 were selected,and their Kongzui acupoints were acupunctured by 10 acupuncturists with associate senior title as 4 kinds of acupuncture manipulations included reinforcing by twisting and rotating(RFTR),reducing by twisting and rotating(RDTR),reinforcing by lifting and thrusting(RFLT),and reducing by lifting and thrusting(RDLT).The B-ultrasound diagnostic device was used to collect the images of muscle and fascial tissue below the acupoint,so as to construct the model of images.The definition of virtual acupuncture point was adopted to study the regulation of perturbation of subcutaneous tissue that was caused after the skin was acupunctured by needle.The change regulation of the virtual acupuncture point of muscle bundle below skin at Zuikong acupoint of subjects was analyzed.Results:The difference value of average absolution value between peak and trough of the trajectory of virtual acupuncture point of twisting and rotating was 0.066±0.045,and the average value of amplitude of this method was less than that(0.428±0.276)of lifting and thrusting method,and the twisting and rotating method was uniform and symmetrical,and there was difference between two kinds of acupuncture methods.The characteristics of computer graphics was used to qualify the work effect of lifting and thrusting,and reinforcing and reducing,which showed the heavy insertion and light lifting of RFLT,and showed heavy lifting and light insertion of RDLT,thus distinguished the two methods[(RFLT)and(RDLT)].Conclusions:The ultrasound imaging and computer graphics can be used to analyze the regularity of the common"reinforcing and reducing"method of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Neuromuscular diseases are a group of disorders that affect the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction and skeletal muscle.A subset of children with neuromuscular disease have rapidly progressive conditions that threaten respiratory and medulla oblongata function.The main causes of neuromuscular disease in PICU include severe neurological impairment, infections, comorbidities, unexpected situations, and other conditions that can exacerbate the primary disease.In each case, timely identification and development of the specific therapies and supportive care measures could improve prognosis.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical value of thromboelas-tography, coagulation four items and platelet count in guiding platelet transfusion in critically ill patients. 【Methods】 A total of 188 critically ill patients in Intensive Care Unit of our hospital from January 2020 to January 2022 were selected as subjects, and were divided into study group(n=89) and the control(n=99) according to the presence of bleeding symptoms. T-test was used for comparative analysis between the two groups. Spearman was used to analyze the correlation between TEG, coagulation four items and platelet count, and binary Logistic regression analysis was used to predict the influential factors of bleeding in critically ill patients, ROC curve was used to analyze the guiding value of the above-mentioned indexes for platelet transfusion. 【Results】 1) K and PT values in the study group, above the normal range, were significantly higher than those in the control, while the Angle value, MA value, CI value, FIB value and platelet count were significantly lower than those of the control, among which MA value, CI value and platelet count were below the normal range. 2) TEG, coagulation four items and platelet count were correlated. MA and CI values were positively correlated with platelet count, instead, R and K values were negatively correlated. R value was positively correlated with PT and APTT, CI value, on the contrary, was negatively correlated, K value was positively correlated with PT, while Angle value and MA value were negatively correlated. 3) Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that decreased MA value and decreased platelet count were independent risk factors for predicting bleeding in critically ill patients(P<0.05). 4) ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under ROC curve corresponding to Angle value, MA value, CI value, FIB value and platelet count were 0.866, 0.932, 0.9, 0.838 and 0.987(P<0.05). The sensitivity was highest in platelet count and lowest in FIB. The specificity was highest in MA and lowest in Angle. Compared with the single index, the area under the curve of the combined index(K value, MA value, CI value, PT value and platelet count) was 0.995(P<0.05), Yoden index 0.944, sensitivity 100%, specificity 93.3%, all higher than the individual index. 【Conclusion】 Thromboelas-tography combined with coagulation four items and platelet count can be used to accurately predict the critically ill patients with bleeding risk. To guide clinical platelets transfusion, the combined use of indexes, including K value, MA, CI value, PT and platelet count, is superior to separate use of them as the former showed better sensitivity and specificity, demonstrating a good clinical value.

Objective:To summarize the clinical, pathological and molecular biological characteristics of one patient of paranodal disease with anti-contactin-associated protein 1 (Caspr 1) antibodies.Methods:The patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) admitted to Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from August 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively studied. The clinical data of one acute onset CIDP patient with anti-Caspr 1 antibodies were collected and retrospectively analyzed with literature review. Anti-nodal/paranodal IgG and their subclasses in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were investigated by immuno?uorescence assays. Pathological characteristics were explored by sural nerve biopsy further.Results:The patient presented with tremor, ataxia and neuropathological pain besides symmetrical limb muscle weakness and hypaesthesia. The CSF protein was elevated significantly. The brachial plexus and lumbosacral plexus magnetic resonance imaging showed enlarged nerve roots. The patient was responsive well to intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids in acute phase, while the symptoms improved significantly with rituximab in chronic phase. Autoantibodies against Caspr 1 were detectable in serum and CSF, with IgG4 predominant. Sural nerve biopsy revealed segmental demyelination and myelin digestion chamber. Dispersed lamellae of myelin sheath and axonal degeneration were confirmed by electron microscopy.Conclusions:Tremor, ataxia, neuropathic pain, significantly elevated CSF protein and enlarged nerve roots are suggestive of paranodal diseases with anti-Caspr 1 antibodies. For patients with suspected Guillain-Barre syndrome/CIDP and above phenotypes, nodal/paranodal antibodies and antibody subtypes should be detected to optimize the treatment.

Traumatic brain injury(TBI) is one of leading causes of death and disability in children.Targeted temperature management(TTM) may reduce unfavorable outcomes of TBI patients, and many studies have made much effort for developing a norm in managing temperature in TBI patients.TTM, including therapeutic hypothermia, has been recognized as one of candidate methods of neuroprotective treatment.However, the efficacy of hypothermia for patients with severe TBI is not clear.In this article, we will review studies on the potential effects of hypothermia, discuss the possible pathophysiology of neuroprotection with therapeutic hypothermia in PICU, and explore the role of TTM in pediatric severe TBI.

One of the characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemiology is that asymptomatic infection is also a source of infection. There was no fever and/or respiratory symptoms in this patient before the operation, and the results of routine blood test showed decreased lymphocyte count and lymphocyte percentage, and novel coronavirus pathogen detection was not carried out in the hospital, and the detection was not performed, chest imaging examination showed no obvious ground glass shadow, so viral pneumonia was not considered. The medical staff involved in the operation all adopted standard secondary medical protection measures. Five days after the operation, the patient was tested positive for novel coronavirus nucleic acid, which was a confirmed case of COVID-19. The results of epidemiological investigation and analysis showed that the patient was in the incubation period of COVID-19 before operation, however, none of the medical staff involved in surgical anesthesia and none of the patients in the next operation were infected. The reason is that the author′s hospital has strict training for all staff in infection control, and surgical anesthesiology medical staff have mastered the relevant basic knowledge and operation skills, have a good sense of infection control in the operating room, and can standardize the implementation. This case also suggested that attention should be paid to the patients with significant preoperative simple lymphocyte level decline, and measures should be taken to identify asymptomatic infection early.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)after gynecologic laparoscopic surgery in elderly female patients,and to establish a risk model for prognosis.Methods Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive function of 280 elderly women who underwent gynecologic laparoscopic surgery from April 2014 to March 2016 in four tertiary-level hospitals in Hubei Province.Thirty-two cases were excluded due to withdrawal or loss of follow-up,and 248 cases with complete and valid data were collected for analysis.According to the degree of cognitive impairment on the 7th day after operation,subjects were grouped into a POCD group and a non-POCD group.Logistic regression was used to determine risk factors and establish a prognostic model for POCD.Results Of the 248 subjects enrolled,62 (25.0％) were diagnosed with POCD on the 7th day after operation.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) grade(OR =4.578,95％CI:1.156 ～18.139,P =0.030),age (OR =1.465,95％ CI:1.230 ～ 1.745,P =0.000),and duration of anesthesia(OR =1.030,95 ％ CI:1.005 ～ 1.056,P =0.017) were independent risk factors for POCD,and intraoperative administration of dexmedetomidine (OR =0.069,95 ％ CI:0.508 ～ 14.094,P =0.011),dexamethasone (OR =0.135,95 ％ CI:0.200 ～ 0.928,P =0.042),and maintenance of deep anesthesia(OR =0.761,95 ％ CI:0.630 to 0.919,P =0.005) were protective factors.A prognostic model was established based on the principle of logistic regression equation.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve determined Y=4.291 as the best risk value,and the expected sensitivity and specificity were 90.3％ and 97.8％,respectively.Additionally,another 50 independent cases were included to verify the predictive efficacy of the model.It showed that the overall correct rate was 86.0％,and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.8％ and 87.2％,respectively.Conclusions Increased ASA grade,advanced age,prolonged anesthesia time are independent risk factors for POCD,and intraoperative administration of dexmedetomidine,dexamethasone,maintenance of deep anesthesia play a protective role.The prognosis model of POCD has certain clinical value.

Objective To evaluate the effect of oxycodone on microglial activation in brain tissues of rats. Methods Primarily cultured microglial cells of Sprague?Dawley rats were seeded in 24?well plates (1 ml∕well)at a density of 1×105cells∕ml and divided into 5 groups(n=40 each)using a random num?ber table: control group(group C), lipopolysaccharide(LPS)group(group L)and low, medium and high concentrations of oxycodone groups(O25, O50, O100groups). The cells were cultured in serum?free medium for 24 h in group C. LPS was added at the final concentration of 1 μg∕ml in L, O25, O50and O100 groups, and in addition oxycodone was added at the final concentration of 25, 50 and 100 ng∕ml at 24 h of incubation with LPS in O25, O50and O100groups, respectively. Cells were collected at 1 h of incubation or culture for determination of the expression of tumor necrosis factor?α(TNF?α), interleukin?1β(IL?1β), IL?10 and transforming growth factor?1β(TGF?1β)mRNA(by real?time polymerase chain reaction)and expression of TGF?1β and phosphorylated Smad2(p?Smad2)(using Western blot). The concentrations of TNF?α, IL?1β and IL?10 in the supernatant were detected by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. Results Compared with group C, the expression of TGF?β1, IL?1β and TNF?α mRNA, TGF?β1 and p?Smad2 was significantly up?regulated, and the concentrations of IL?1β, IL?10 and TNF?α in the supernatant were increased in group L(P<0.01). Compared with group L, the expression of TGF?β1, IL?1β and TNF?α mRNA, TGF?β1 and p?Smad2 was significantly down?regulated in O50and O100groups, the expression of IL?10 mRNA was significantly up?regulated, and the concentrations of IL?1β and TNF?α in the supernatant were decreased in group O100(P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group O25(P>0.05). Conclusion Oxycodone can inhibit microglial activation in brain tissues of rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedimidine on intestinal injury in rats with endotoxemia.Methods Twenty-four healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 2-3 months,weighing 200-250 g,were divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table method:control group (group C),endotoxemia group (group E),dexmedimidine group (group D) and dexmedimidine plus α7 subunit-containing nicotinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist group (D +α-BGT group).The endotoxemia model was established by injecting lipopolysaccharide (LPS) 10 mg/kg via the femoral vein.Dexmedetomidine 40 μg/kg was injected and 15 min later LPS was intravenously injected in group D.Dexmedetomidine 40 μg/kg was intraperitoneally injected after intraperitoneal injection of α-bungarotoxin 1 μg/kg,and 15 min later LPS was intravenously injected in group D+o-BGT.Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta at 6 h after LPS injection for determination of the plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Rats were sacrificed after blood sampling,and intestinal tissues were obtained for examination of the pathological changes and for determination of the myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (by chemical colorimetry) and expression of NF-κB p65 in nucleoprotein (by Western blot).Results Compared with group C,the plasma IL-6 and TNF-o concentrations and MPO activity in intestinal tissues were significantly increased,and the expression of NF-κB p65 in nucleoprotein was up-regulated in the other 3 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group E,the plasma IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations and MPO activity in intestinal tissues were significantly decreased,the expression of NF-κB p65 in nucleoprotein was down-regulated (p＜0.05),and the pathological changes of intestinal tissues were significantly attenuated in group D.Compared with group D,the plasma IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations and MPO activity in intestinal tissues were significantly increased,the expression of NF-κB p65 in nucleoprotein was up-regulated (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes of intestinal tissues were accentuated in group D+α-BGT.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can reduce the intestinal injury in rats with endotoxemia,and the mechanism may be related to activating cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway and further inhibiting inflammatory responses.
