At present, liver transplantation is the most effective method for the treatment of various end-stage liver diseases, and electronic health technology is a new medical service model, which can be used as an efficient and cost-effective alternative to the health management of liver transplant recipients. This paper summarizes the application of electronic health technology in postoperative health management of liver transplant recipients, including applications, robots, video conferencing, tablet computers, text messages, telephones and wearable devices, etc., summarizes the implementation effect of electronic health technology in health management of liver transplant recipients, and analyzes the limitations of research and application at the present stage. In order to provide basis and reference for Chinese medical staff to carry out electronic health technology in the health management of liver transplant recipients.

The symptom clusters increase the symptom distress of liver transplant recipients, reduces their treatment and nursing compliance, and greatly affects the prognosis quality of life of liver transplant recipients. This article reviews the concept, research status, assessment tools, influencing factors, and interventions for symptom clusters in liver transplant recipients, aiming to help clinical nurses formulate targeted interventions based on symptom clusters, provide effective symptom management for liver transplant recipients, reduce the physical and psychological damage caused by symptom clusters, and continuously improve the quality of life of liver transplant recipients.

Objective:To explore the impact and underlying mechanisms of social support on illness uncertainty among parents of children with autism.Methods:A convenience sample of 312 parents of children with autism was recruited from the outpatient clinic of Peking University Sixth Hospital between September 2023 and January 2024. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Parent's Perception Uncertainty Scale (PPUS), the Social Support Scale for Families with Children with Autism, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and the Questionnaire on Caregiving Issues and Service Needs of Parents of Children with Autism. Independent samples t-tests or one-way ANOVA were used to compare illness uncertainty scores across different characteristics. Pearson correlation analysis examined relationships among illness uncertainty, social support, caregiving issues and service needs, and anxiety. Chain mediation analysis was conducted using the SPSS macro PROCESS v4.1 to test the mediating roles of caregiving issues and service needs and anxiety. Results:The illness uncertainty score of the 307 valid respondents was (82.40±14.09). Mediation analysis indicated a direct effect of social support on illness uncertainty (effect value=-1.040), accounting for 72.27% of the total effect (-1.040/-1.439). A chain-mediated effect through caregiving issues and service needs and anxiety was also observed (effect value=-0.065), accounting for 4.50% of the total effect (-0.065/-1.439) .Conclusions:Parents of children with autism experience a relatively high level of illness uncertainty. Enhancing social support, addressing caregiving issues and service needs, alleviating parental anxiety may reduce their illness uncertainty.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects of 3，5，6，7，8，3′，4′-heptamethoxyflavone （HMF） of Fructus Aurantii on rats with damp blockage of the middle energizer. METHODS The rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， positive control group （Raceanisodamine tablet， 1 mg/kg）， HMF low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （0.3， 0.6， 0.9 mg/kg）， with 7 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， the other groups were modeled by internal and external composite factors. After successful modeling， the rats in each group were given the corresponding drug or normal saline， once a day， for 14 days. The general behavioral states such as dietary intake， water intake and mental state of the rats were observed， and the fecal water content rate and saliva flow rate were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological and morphology in gastric and small intestinal tissues of rats. The plasma content of aldosterone was detected， and the expression of aquaporins （AQP3） in the gastric tissue of rats was determined. RESULTS Compared with the normal group， the dietary intake and water intake of the model group rats were significantly decreased （P＜0.01）， the fecal water content rate， salivary flow rate， plasma content of aldosterone and the expression of AQP3 in gastric tissue were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. Gastric tissue injury invaded the mucosal muscle layer， resulting in mucosal muscle layer rupture； pathological and morphological changes such as small intestinal villous erosion and glandular structure destruction were observed in the small intestine. Compared with the model group， the dietary intake and water intake of rats were increased in HMF groups； fecal water content rate， salivary flow rate， plasma content of aldosterone， the expression of AQP3 in gastric tissue were decreased， most of the above differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The pathological and morphological changes in the gastric and small intestine tissues of rats had been improved to varying degrees. CONCLUSIONS HMF of Fructus Aurantii with dry property HMF could improve the symptoms of rats with damp blockage of middle energizer， the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the content of plasma aldosterone and down-regulating the expression of gastric AQP3.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of endoscopic surgery for frontal sinus meningoencephalocele and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, and to explore endoscopic surgical strategy.Methods:A total of 35 patients with frontal sinus meningoencephalocele and CSF leaks who underwent endoscopic transnasal surgery at Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University between May 2007 and December 2023 were enrolled in this retrospective case series, including 29 males and 6 females, with the age of (35.23±15.76) years. High-resolution sinus CT and magnetic resonance cisternography were undertaken before surgery. The primary outcome measure was the success rate of endoscopic surgical repair. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 27 and GraphPad Prism 8 software.Results:Of the 35 cases, 21 (60.0%) were traumatic, and 14 (40.0%) were non-traumatic. The most common defect was in the posterior frontal sinus wall (24 cases, 68.6%), with a defect size of (10.4±4.8) mm 2. Twenty-six cases (74.3%) underwent endoscopic transnasal Draf Ⅱa-Ⅲ frontal sinusotomy, and 9 cases (25.7%) underwent endoscopic transnasal Darf Ⅱb-Ⅲ frontal sinusotomy combined with frontal trephination. The average follow-up time was (84.72±57.42) months. The success rate of one-time endoscopic repair was 97.1% (34/35). One patient required a second procedure, resulting in an overall success rate of 100%. Thirty-three patients had a widely patent frontal sinus ostium postoperatively, while two experienced stenosis. Conclusions:Endoscopic surgery is effective for treating frontal meningoencephalocele and CSF leaks while preserving frontal sinus drainage. Combined frontal trephination is recommended for defects that are difficult to repair using the conventional transnasal approach.

Improving the sense of belonging of the elderly in nursing institutions is of great significance to enhance their sense of self-worth and self-identity,and further meet the spiritual needs of the elderly in nursing institutions.This paper reviewed the concept,current situation,evaluation tools and influencing factors of the elderly's sense of belonging in nursing institutions,and proposes that there is a lack of tools to measure the sense of belonging of the elderly in nursing institutions,and the intervention strategies with caregivers as the core needs to be further explored.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a fundus disease characterized by degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells, RPE cells and choroidal capillaries. The pathogenesis is not clear and there is no effective treatment. Cell therapies can slow or reverse the vision loss of AMD in animal models, which include implantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, pluripotent stem cells, RPE cells into the subretinal cavity. Therefore, cell therapy is a promising strategy for the treatment of AMD.
