Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) and clinically insignificant monoclonal garmmopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS).Methods:A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical characteristics of patients simultaneously diagnosed with both SpA and MGUS at the First Affiliated Hospital to Zhengzhou University between January 2020 and December 2024, supplemented by a literature review.Results:Among the 5 patients (2 males, 3 females; age range 33~65 years), 4 presented with peripheral arthritis and 2 with extra-articular manifestations. All patients demonstrated elevated globulin and IgG levels, with 4 being HLA-B27 positive. M-protein typing revealed IgG/κ in 3 cases and IgA/λ in 2. All five patients underwent both X-ray and MRI examinations, with sacroiliitis being detected in 4 cases. Three patients with long disease duration showed poor response to conventional therapy (NSAIDs/DMARDs). Targeted therapies yielded variable outcomes: one patient achieved normalized globulin/IgG levels with etanercept (3-year follow-up without MGUS progression); another showed marked clinical improvement and significant globulin/IgG reduction with JAK inhibitor (tofacitinib, treated for 7 years); while a third demonstrated no symptom relief then switching from TNF-α inhibitor to IL-17 inhibitor.Conclusion:Persistent hyperglobulinemia in SpA patients warrants MGUS screening. Those with SpA-MGUS may require targeted therapies, where JAK inhibitors and monoclonal TNF-α inhibitors appear to be the preferred options, though long-term monitoring for MGUS progression remains essential.

Objective To identify determinants of subtherapeutic voriconazole(VRCZ)concentrations in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)recipients and to develop/validate a nomogram-based risk prediction model.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 310 VRCZ therapeutic drug monitoring(TDM)measurements from allo-HSCT recipients at 310 patients who under went allo-HSCT surgery at Hebei Yanda Ludaopei Hospital from October 2022 to October 2024 and received VRCZ for the prevention and treatment of invasive fungal infections before transplantion were selected as the study subjects.Cases were stratified into target-concentration group(0.5～5.0μg/ml)and subtherapeutic group(<0.5μg/ml).Through single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis,indeipendent predictive factors forvecz plasma concentration non-compliance were screened,and a column chart prediction model(NPM)was constructed.The performance of the model was evaluateding area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L)goodness-of-fit test,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Among 310 VRCZ-TDM measurements,71.61%(222/310)achieved target concentrations.Multivariate analysis showed that CYP2C19 intermediate metabolite,daily dose of cyclosporine A(CSA),daily dose of VRCZ,creatinine(Cr)>97 μmol/L,albumin(Alb)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were independent influencing factors for VRCZ blood drug concentration non-compliance(Wald χ2=4.046～13.221,all P＜0.05).The nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination,calibration(H-L goodness of fit test χ2=2.663,P=0.954),and clinical utility with net benefit across 0.05～0.96 risk thresholds.Conclusion The nomogram incorporating CYP2C19 gene phenotype,daily CSA dosing,daily VRCZ dosing,Cr levels,Alb and CRP provides a validated tool for optimizing VRCZ therapy in allo-HSCT recipients,enabling precision dosing strategies.

Objective To develop the Expert Consensus on Sensitive Indicators for Assessment of the Quality of Nursing in Operating Theatre and provide a scientific and practical guidance for improving the quality of nursing in operating theatre.Methods The writing team established by the Operating Room Nursing Professional Committee of Guangdong Nursing Association conducted systematic literature retrieval and screening,and used the updated clinical Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ in UK 2017.AGREE Ⅱ and the evidence evaluation system of the Australian JBI(Joanna Briggs Institute,JBI)Evidence-Based Health Care Center evidence level system(2016 Edition)comprehensively analyzed the evidence related to the sensitive indicators for evaluating the quality of operating room nursing and the suggestions of the writing group members.The first draft was formed based on the three-dimensional quality evaluation theoretical framework of"structure-process-result".Through the Delphi method,after two rounds of expert consultations and members'votes,the first draft was deeply revised and improved.Results Based on the three-dimensional quality evaluation theoretical framework of"structure-process-outcome"proposed by American scholar Donabedian,the expert consensus finally included five primary indicators:basic nursing quality,quality indicators of patient safety,quality indicators of hospital infection control,quality indicators of medication and safety management,and quality indicators of specialised nursing in operating theatre.The secondary indicators consisted of one structural indicator(management of commonly used instrument and equipment in operating theatre)and 17 process indicators(e.g.,infusion and blood transfusion management,body temperature management,etc.).The tertiary indicators included 26 process indicators and 11 outcome indicators(e.g.,incidence of adverse reactions of infusion during surgery,incidence of intra-operative hypothermia,etc.).Conclusion The evidence-and guideline-based Expert Consensus on Sensitive Indicators for Assessment of the Quality of Nursing in Operating Theatre based on eviclence and guidelines was established through rigorous evidence-based methods.It is operational and practical,and offers theoretical support and practical guidance for the managers of operating theatre to improve the quality of nursing.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of T-piece resuscitator as a respiratory support strategy during the transport of critically ill premature infants,and to provide a scientific basis for clinical decision-making.Methods:A total of 280 critically ill premature newborns hospitalized in the NICU of Fifth Medical Center of Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2023 were included.Infants were categorized into three groups based on the respiratory support method given during transport: the ventilator group(108 cases),the T-piece group(102 cases),and the resuscitation sac group(70 cases).The transport distance,general condition at birth,prenatal conditions,dyspnea symptoms at admission,blood gas analysis results,clinical diagnosis,clinical intervations,and related treatment among the three groups were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were no significant differences in the transport distance,the number of endotrached intubations during transport,the main complications during pregnancy,the general condition at birth,and the history of asphyxia among the three groups(all P>0.05).The incidence of triple-concave sign at admission in T-piece group was significantly lower than that in resuscitation sac group (41.7% vs.62.9%, P=0.005),and the arterial carbon dioxide tension(PaCO 2) at admission was also significantly lower in T-piece group than that in resuscitation sac group[(41.194±8.720) mmHg vs.(45.360±13.998) mmHg, P=0.034].Furthermore,the T-piece group had significantly lower rates of type II respiratory failure(0.9% vs.22.9%),respiratory acidosis(9.3% vs.27.1%),hypoxemia(7.4% vs.28.6%),hyperoxygen partial pressure(1.9% vs.28.6%),neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(66.7% vs.87.1%),and intracranial hemorrhage(18.5% vs.38.6%) during hospitalization compared to the resuscitation sac group (all P<0.05).The proportion of tracheal intubations(63.9% vs.87.1%) and the time of using non-invasive ventilator[1.0(1.0,2.0)d vs.1.0(1.0,6.0)d] were also significantly lower in T-piece group compared to the resuscitation sac group(both P<0.05).Compared with the respiratory group,there were no statistically significant differences in the aforementioned indicators for the T-piece group. Conclusion:The T-piece resuscitator can provide stable and adjustable positive end-inspiratory pressure and positive expiratory pressure,as well as a stable inspired oxygen flow rate,without increasing the risk of invasive procedures and severe complications.Its application during the transport and treatment of critically ill premature infants has definite clinical value.

Objective To explore the role of sevoflurane(SEV)in sepsis-induced acute lung injury(ALI)and observe its impact on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.Methods Forty C57 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=10 each):Sham,CLP,SEV,and SEV+XAV(β-catenin inhibitor).A sepsis model was established via cecal ligation and puncture.Lung injury was evaluated using HE staining,lung wet/dry weight ratio,and TUNEL staining.Levels of inflammatory factors(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6)were detected by ELISA.Oxidative stress indices(SOD,MDA,ROS)were measured by colorimetry and flow cytometry.Hindlimb blood perfusion and oxygenation were assessed with laser speckle flowmetry.Expressions of key Wnt pathway molecules and down-stream target genes(c-Myc,Cyclin D1)were detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.Co-localization of β-catenin and SP-C(a marker of type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells)in lung tissues was determined by immunofluorescence staining.Results Compared with the Sham group,the CLP group exhibited significant increases in sepsis severity,lung pathological damage including alveolar structure destruction,inflammatory infiltration,and apoptosis,elevation in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels,and significant decrease in SOD and increase in MDA and ROS.Additionally,lower limb blood flow and oxygenation levels were significantly reduced,while the expression of β-catenin and its downstream target genes,as well as the co-localization signal and fluorescence intensity of β-catenin with SP-C,were significantly downregulated(all P<0.05).Compared with the CLP group,the SEV group showed significant improvements in all these indicators.However,compared with the SEV group,the SEV+XAV group demon-strated a reversed protective effect,with all indicators approaching the levels observed in the CLP group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Sevoflurane alleviates sepsis-induced ALI by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,exerting anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects,and enhancing the expression and localization of β-catenin in type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells.
