Elderly end-of-life patients often experience distress due to being caught in dilemmas of contemplation and decision-making. Narrative wills， grounded in life values and premised on respecting individual wishes and needs， present an individual’s unique life story through narrative forms， conveying their overall experience， interpretation of meaning， and understanding of life. They are preserved and passed on in a way that meets individual expectations， thereby promoting human exploration， reflection， and growth regarding the meaning of life through interpersonal interactions that transcend space and time. This paper explored the concept of narrative wills among elderly end-of-life patients， the ethical value and ethical principles of narrative wills， and the moral and ethical risks. It also provided specific ethical interpretations， assisting in the application and development of narrative wills in elderly end-of-life patients.

Objective:To investigate the expulsion rate of GyneFix postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) placed immediately after cesarean section within one year and its influencing factors.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted. Women who volunteered to use a GyneFix PPIUD placed immediately after cesarean section (within 10 min after placenta delivery) for postpartum contraception were recruited from September 2017 to November 2020. The relevant information was collected through questionnaires before, during and 24 h after cesarean section. Outpatient follow-up was conducted at 42 d, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after delivery to obtain information on expulsion of GyneFix PPIUD and unwanted pregnancy. Life table and Cox regression model were used to analyze the cumulative expulsion rate and related influencing factors.Results:A total of 470 subjects were recruited and 461 (98%) subjects were eligible for this study. The cumulative expulsion rate of GyneFix PPIUD within one year after cesarean section was 8.4% (95% CI: 7.0%-9.8%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that women aged >35 years had significantly lower risk of PPIUD expulsion than those aged <25 years ( HR=0.16, 95% CI: 0.04-0.64). The risk of GyneFix PPIUD was not statistically significantly associated with cesarean section history and breastfeeding mode (all P>0.05). Nevertheless, this risk was statistically significant between hospitals. The Pearl index of contraceptive failure of the device was 2.37 (95% CI: 1.09-4.50) per 100 person-years. The rate of contraceptive failure was not associated with maternal age, breastfeeding mode, and history of cesarean delivery (all P>0.05). Conclusion:The one-year cumulative expulsion rate of GyneFix PPIUD placed immediately after cesarean section is 8.4%. Young mothers were at a higher risk of expulsion than their older counterparts. The device users should be counseled regarding the signs of expulsion. In case of expulsion, women should be offered reinsertion or other contraceptive methods. The training of service skills of GyneFix PPIUD should be strengthened in order to mitigate the risk of the device expulsion.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility of recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis fusion protein （EC）， and to provide evidence for selecting skin detection methods for tuberculosis infection diagnosis and auxiliary diagnosis of tuberculosis. METHODS The effectiveness and safety of EC compared with purified protein derivative of tuberculin （TB-PPD） were analyzed by the method of systematic review. Cost minimization analysis， cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis were used to evaluate the short-term economy of EC compared with TB-PPD， and cost-utility analysis was used to evaluate the long-term economy. The evaluation dimensions of innovation， suitability and accessibility were determined by systematic review and improved Delphi expert consultation， and the comprehensive score of EC and TB-PPD in each dimension were calculated by the weight of each indicator. RESULTS The scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation and suitability of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. The affordability scores of the two drugs were consistent， while the availability score of EC was lower than those of TB-PPD. After considering dimensions and index weight， the scores of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability， accessibility and the comprehensive score of EC were all higher than those of TB-PPD. CONCLUSIONS Compared with TB-PPD， EC performs better in all dimensions of effectiveness， safety， economy， innovation， suitability and accessibility. However， it is worth noting that EC should further improve its availability in the dimension of accessibility.

Objective:To explore the incidence of thirst in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From March to October 2022, 155 patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy admitted to the First Medical Center of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. The patients were surveyed using the self-made general information questionnaire, Thirst Numerical Rate Scale, oral mucosal misture score, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and Self-Rating Depression Scale to understand the incidence of thirst and analyze influencing factors.Results:A total of 153 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 98.71%. Among them, 124 patients (81.05%) experienced postoperative thirst. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistical differences in the incidence of thirst among patients with different ages, fasting time, smoking history, drinking history, hypertension history, diabetes history, anxiety and depression ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, hypertension history, diabetes history, anxiety and depression were the main influencing factors for thirst in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Thirst is common in patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Age, hypertension history, diabetes history, anxiety and depression are the influencing factors of thirst in patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Medical and nursing staff should provide targeted interventions for thirst prevention and treatment based on relevant factors.

Objective: To evaluate the osteogenic effect of concentrated growth factor (CGF) combined with deproteinated bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in site preservation using clinical and histomorphometric observations. Methods : A total of 26 patients who needed extraction of affected teeth and received staged implantation after site preservation were selected. The patients were randomly divided into the DBBM group (Bio-Oss was implanted simultaneously after extraction) and CGF+DBBM group (CGF+Bio-Oss was implanted simultaneously after extraction), with 13 patients in each group, and both groups were covered with Bio-Gide collagen membrane. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was performed preoperatively and 6 months later to measure the changes in alveolar bone height and width, and the bone specimens were drilled 6 months after site preservation during implant surgery for histological analyses. Results: CBCT showed that the height and width of alveolar bone were absorbed 6 months after site preservation in the CGF+DBBM and DBBM groups, and the reduction in alveolar ridge width in the CGF+DBBM group was statistically less than the DBBM group (P <0.05). The histomorphometry results showed that the percentage of new bone in the CGF+DBBM and DBBM groups were 35.30% ± 3.56% and 26.38% ± 5.04%, respectively, and the amount of new bone in the CGF+DBBM group was statistically higher than the DBBM group (P<0.05). Conclusion CGF combined with DBBM is superior to DBBM in maintaining the alveolar bone volume and shape in site preservation, which creates favorable conditions for implant restoration.
