Objective To explore the latent classes and influencing factors of blood glucose trajectories after transplantation in lung transplantation patients,and provide references for identifying high-risk population of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.Methods 122 lung transplantation patients who were hospitalized in a tertiary A general hospital in Hangzhou from January 2022 to March 2023 were selected conveniently as survey subjects.Socio-demographic and disease-related data were collected,and fasting plasma glucose at 1 week before surgery(T0),1 week after surgery(T1),1 month after surgery(T2),3 months after surgery(T3),6 months after surgery(T4),1 year after surgery(T5)were collected.Growth mixture model was used to identify categories of blood glucose trajectories after lung transplantation,and binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors.Results A total of 109 lung transplantation patients were enrolled in the study,and 2 latent classes of blood glucose trajectories were identified:high risk(23.85%)and low risk(76.15%)of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.BMI,drinking history,afternoon blood glucose and tacrolimus trough concentration were the influencing factors of latent classes of blood glucose trajectories after lung transplantation(all P<0.05).Conclusion There are 2 latent classes of blood glucose trajectories after lung transplantation,namely high risk and low risk of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.Medical staff should pay attention to diabetes screening and assessment of lung transplantation patients who are overweight or obese,have a drinking history before transplantation,have high afternoon blood glucose in early stage of transplantation and have high tacrolimus trough concentration in stable stage of transplantation,so as to formulate a comprehensive and individualized blood glucose management program.

Objective This study aimed to develop and empirically evaluate a sarcopenia management program for lung transplant candidates based on the Transtheoretical Model(TTM).The objective was to improve preopera-tive muscle condition and enhance patients' tolerance to lung transplantation.Methods Using the TTM as the the-oretical framework,the sarcopenia management program was developed through a literature review and 2 rounds of expert consultations.A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit inpatients from the lung transplant department of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between January 2022 and January 2024.Patients admitted between February 2023 and January 2024 were assigned to an intervention group,while those admitted between January 2022 and January 2023 were allocated to a control group.The intervention group received an 8-week sar-copenia management program based on the TTM in addition to standard prehabilitation care,whereas the control group received only standard prehabilitation care.Outcome measurements included pre-and post-intervention com-parisons of the modified Strength,Assistance with Walking,Rise from a Chair,Climb Stairs,Falls,and Calf Circum-ference(SARC-CalF)score,handgrip strength,6-minute walking distance(6MWD),and upper arm circumference,as well as their respective changes before and after the intervention.Additionally,stage-based behavioral change as-sessment and adverse event incidence were compared between the 2 groups.Results A total of 8 patients from the intervention group and 9 from the control group dropped out,resulting in a final sample of 32 patients in the intervention group and 31 in the control group.Compared to the control group,the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in SARC-CalF scores,handgrip strength,6MWD,and upper arm circumference(P<0.05).After the intervention,the intervention group had a statistically significant difference in behavioral stage tran-sition compared to the control group(P<0.05).During the intervention process,neither group experienced any ad-verse events.Conclusion The sarcopenia management program based on the TTM effectively improved patient ad-herence,enhanced preoperative muscle condition,and demonstrated potential benefits in improving physical function and nutritional status.

Objective To invegtigate the possible etiology,clinical characteristics,and treatment effects of post tympanoplasty full-frequency bone conduction hearing loss in the operated ear.Methods A retrospective analy-sis was conducted on the possible causes,clinical manifestations,and diagnosis and treatment of 6 cases of full-fre-quency bone conduction hearing loss in the operated ear after tympanoplasty.Results The use of diluted epineph-rine during surgery,controlled hypotension during the operation,ethylene oxide in gelatin sponges,and the exces-sive pro-inflammatory factors produced postoperatively may be associated with the occurrence of full-frequency bone conduction hearing loss in the operated ear after tympanoplasty.Among the six patients,the main initial symptom was dizziness without vertigo or nystagmus.Two cases were ineffectively treated,one case was effectively treated,and three cases were cured.Among the four cases that received timely medication,three were effectively treated.Conclusion Full-frequency bone conduction hearing loss in the operated ear after tympanoplasty is related to various factors,and the clinical manifestations of patients are atypical,often manifesting as dizziness.Timely diagnosis through pure tone audiometry and timely treatment according to the sudden deafness treatment plan often leads to fa-vorable outcomes.

Objective:To summarize the initial experience and evaluate the technical feasibility of the endoscopic transcanal transpromontorial approach(TTA) for vestibular schwannoma resection by analyzing long-term follow-up outcomes. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the perioperative and long-term follow-up data(mean follow-up time: 5 years) of patients who underwent endoscopic TTA for vestibular schwannoma resection in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, between January 2020 and December 2020. Long-term outcomes were systematically evaluated. Results:This study included two patients(one 41-year-old male and one 51-year-old female). According to the AAO-HNS hearing classification system, preoperative hearing was Class C in one patient and Class D in the other. Preoperative imaging confirmed Koos stageⅠ tumors in both cases. Postoperative transient facial nerve paralysis(House-Brackmann Grade Ⅲ) recovered to Grade Ⅰ within 4 months. No complications such as cerebrospinal fluid leakage, intracranial infection, or intracranial hemorrhage occurred. No tumor recurrence was observed during the 5-year follow-up period. Conclusion:The endoscopic transcanal transpromontorial approach is minimally invasive, facilitates rapid recovery, and demonstrates satisfactory technical feasibility and safety when strict patient selection criteria(Koos stageⅠtumors with non-serviceable hearing) are applied.

Objective To construct and preliminary verify a postoperative pulmonary rehabilitation nursing programme for children with double lung transplantation,aiming to promote early recovery and provide references for clinical nursing practice.Methods A convenience sampling approach was employed to select 25 cases pediatric patients who underwent bilateral lung transplantation at a tertiary teaching hospital in Hangzhou between January 2020 and September 2024,and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the time of admission to the hospital.The experimental group received the newly developed post-transplant rehabilitation nursing program,which encompassed fluid management,mechanical ventilation,sequential oxygen therapy,pulmonary function training,exercise management,and process facilitation.In contrast,the control group received the standard post-lung transplantation rehabilitation protocol.Key outcomes,including mechanical ventilation duration,ICU stay,total hospitalization time,activity level,pulmonary function,incidence of adverse events and rehabilitation adherence,were compared between the 2 groups.Results Finally,24 cases completed the study,including 11 cases in the experimental group and 13 cases in the control group.After the intervention,the experimental group exhibited significantly shorter mechanical ventilation time compared to it in the control group(P=0.009).Additionally,at discharge,the intervention group demonstrated higher activity levels and better rehabilitation compliance(P<0.05).Conclusion The pulmonary rehabilitation nursing program for children with double lung transplantation is scientifically sound,safe,and feasible.The implementation of this program is beneficial for the early discontinuation of mechanical ventilation,improving postoperative mobility,and enhancing compliance with pulmonary rehabilitation.
