Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and morbidity trends of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) in Shenzhen, China.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Data were based on the Shenzhen Birth Cohort. Pregnant women who gave birth from January 1, 2018 to March 31, 2023 were included. Incidence and change trends of HDP and its different pathological types were analyzed. The enrolled pregnant women were divided into the HDP group and the non-HDP group according to whether HDP occurred. General clinical data and pregnancy outcomes were collected from both groups. The incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes among pregnant women with different pathological types of HDP was analyzed, and subgroup analyses were performed based on age and body mass index (BMI).Results:A total of 90 117 pregnant women were enrolled, aged (31.6±4.4) years. There were 4 117 cases in the HDP group and 86 000 in the non-HDP group. The overall incidence of HDP in the whole study population was 4.57% (4 117/90 117). From 2018—2023, the incidence of HDP in Shenzhen showed an increasing trend year by year, from 2.88% (523/18 155) to 7.04% (271/3 851). Specifically, the incidence of gestational hypertension increased from 0.93% (168/18 155) to 3.09% (119/3 851), the incidence of preeclampsia-eclampsia increased from 1.78% (323/18 155) to 3.17% (122/3 851), the incidence of chronic hypertension increased from 0.01% (1/18 155) to 0.42% (16/3 851), and the incidence of chronic hypertension with superimposed preeclampsia increased from 0.17% (31/18 155) to 0.36% (14/3 851). The age ((32.8±4.8) years vs. (31.5±4.3) years, P<0.05) and BMI in the first trimester ((23.37±3.77) kg/m 2 vs. (21.35±2.91) kg/m 2, P<0.05) of HDP group were higher than those of the non-HDP group. Subgroup analysis showed that the incidence of HDP in pregnant women aged≥50.0 years was the highest in all age subgroups (42.86% (6/14)). The incidence of HDP in pregnant women with BMI≥30.0 kg/m 2 in the first trimester was the highest among all BMI subgroups (20.44% (241/1 179)). The proportions of preterm birth, gestational diabetes, fetal growth restriction, small for gestational age, placental abruption, and late abortion in HDP group were 30.82% (1 269/4 117), 30.46% (1 254/4 117), 6.80% (280/4 117), 4.86% (200/4 117), 3.59% (148/4 117), and 0.80% (33/4 117), respectively. Conclusions:The incidence of HDP among pregnant women has been increased year by year in Shenzhen, China. With the increase in age and BMI during early pregnancy, the incidence of HDP showed an overall upward trend.

Objective:To analyze the application effect of the patient navigation model in the continuity of care for elderly diabetic patients.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 163 elderly diabetic patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2022 to December 2023. Patients were randomly divided into a control group ( n=81) and an observation group ( n=82) using a random number table. The control group received routine continuity of care, while the observation group received continuity of care based on the patient navigation model. The Diabetes Self-Management Behavior Scale (SDSCA) and the Chronic Disease Resources Survey were used to assess the patients. Self-management behaviors, chronic disease resource utilization, and blood glucose changes were compared between the two groups before and three months after the intervention. Results:After the intervention, the SDSCA dimension scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Additionally, the chronic disease resource survey dimension scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Moreover, the fasting blood glucose, 2-hour postprandial blood glucose, and HbA1c levels in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The application of the patient navigation model in the continuity of care for elderly diabetic patients helps patients fully access multi-dimensional social resources, improves self-management capabilities, and is beneficial for improving blood glucose control.

Objective:To analyze the research trends and hotspots of bupivacaine liposomes from 1994 to 2023 using bibliometrics.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted for the literature related to bupivacaine liposomes in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1994 to 2023. The CiteSpace software was used to conduct an in-depth analysis of the included literature data, including publication year, country, institution, author, journal, cited references, keywords, etc.Results:A total of 875 papers related to bupivacaine liposomes were included. The research and development of bupivacaine liposomes were divided into 3 stages: slow development (1994-2011), a sharp rise (2011-2021), and stabilization (2021-2023). The United States was in a leading position in terms of the number of publications, centrality, and author cooperation, and Harvard University had the largest number of publications. de Paula E had the most publications, Bramlett K had the highest number of citations, and Boogaerts J had the highest centrality of publications. Journals such as Anesthesia and Analgesia made significant contributions to this field. The most cited references focused on the infiltration of wounds and the periprosthetic injection of bupivacaine liposomes. The keyword analysis showed that local anesthetics, postoperative pain, etc. were commonly used keywords, and enhanced recovery after surgery was an emerging hotspot. Conclusions:Bupivacaine liposomes show good application prospects in the field of peripheral nerve block due to their unique pharmacological properties and safety characteristics and are expected to prolong the duration of postoperative analgesia. However, there is a difference between the actual effect and the expectation, and more clinical trials are needed to evaluate the curative effect, providing a more solid and reliable theoretical basis and practical guidance for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the application effects of the solution-focused approach combined with empathic nursing in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:A total of 96 AMI patients who underwent PCI in the Department of Cardiology at Cangzhou Central Hospital from March 2020 to March 2023 were selected using convenience sampling. They were randomly assigned to an experimental group ( n=48) and a control group ( n=48) using a random number table. The control group received routine nursing care, while the experimental group received a solution-focused approach combined with empathic nursing. Medication adherence, coping strategies, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results:After the intervention, medication adherence and satisfaction scores in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the differences werestatistically significant ( P<0.05) . Additionally, the experimental group scored higher in confrontation coping, and lower in avoidance and resignation coping than the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The combination of a solution-focused approach and empathic nursing can effectively improve medication adherence, coping strategies, and patient satisfaction in AMI patients after PCI.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO).Methods:This cohort study recruited singleton pregnancies in the first trimester (6-13 +6 weeks of gestation) from Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital between January 1, 2021, and October 31, 2022. Cardiometabolic markers, including body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG), were recorded during the first trimester. Incidence of APO, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, small for gestational age infant, and placental abruption, was documented. Cardiovascular metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester were defined as meeting one or more of the following criteria: elevated BMI (BMI≥24 kg/m2), elevated TG (TG≥1.7 mmol/L), decreased HDL-C (HDL-C<1.0 mmol/L), elevated blood pressure (systolic pressure≥130 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and/or diastolic pressure≥85 mmHg), elevated FPG (FPG≥5.6 mmol/L). Enrolled women were categorized into abnormal cardio-metabolic and normal cardio-metabolic groups. Poisson regression was employed to analyze the association between cardio-metabolic abnormalities in the first trimester and APO. Results:The study included 14 197 pregnant women with an age of (32.0±4.1) years. There were 8 139 women in the normal cardio-metabolic group and 6 058 women in the abnormal cardio-metabolic group. Women with cardio-metabolic disorders in the first trimester had a younger gestational age and higher incidence rates of preterm birth, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes mellitus (all P<0.05). In multivariable Poisson regression, elevated BMI ( RR=1.22, 95% CI 1.15-1.29), elevated FPG ( RR=1.59, 95% CI 1.38-1.82), elevated TG ( RR=1.22, 95% CI 1.13-1.31), and elevated blood pressure ( RR=1.50, 95% CI 1.39-1.63) were independent risk factors for APO, while decreased HDL-C ( RR=0.93, 95% CI 0.70-1.23) was not. Elevated blood pressure ( RR=5.57, 95% CI 4.58-6.78), elevated BMI ( RR=1.71, 95% CI 1.40-2.09), and elevated TG ( RR=1.38, 95% CI 1.10-1.74) had the greatest impact on the risk of developing preeclampsia. Elevated FPG ( RR=1.70, 95% CI 1.45-1.99) had the greatest impact on the risk of gestational diabetes. Conclusions:Elevated blood pressure, BMI, TG and FPG in the first trimester are closely related to APO.

Hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP) involves two major public health issues: mother-infant safety and prevention and controlling major chronic disease. HDP poses a serious threat to maternal and neonatal safety, and it is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide, as well as an important risk factor for long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD). In order to explore effective strategies to prevent and control the source of CVD and reduce its risk, we have established a cohort of HDPs in Shenzhen for the primordial prevention of CVD. The construction of the HDP cohort has already achieved preliminary progress till now. A total of 2 239 HDP women have been recruited in the HDP cohort. We have established a cohort data management platform and Biobank. The follow-up and assessment of postpartum cardiovascular metabolic risk in this cohort has also been launched. Our efforts will help explore the pathophysiological mechanism of HDP, especially the pathogenesis and precision phenotyping, prediction, and prevention of pre-eclampsia, which, therefore, may reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and provide a bridge to linking HDP and maternal-neonatal cardiovascular, metabolic risk to promote the cardiovascular health of mothers and their infants.
