Objective:To observe the hemodynamic changes in the retina and choroid after scleral buckling surgery in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods:A prospective clinical observational study. A total of 25 eyes of 25 patients with RRD who underwent scleral buckling surgery in Tianjin Eye Hospital from February to April 2024 were included in the study. Among them, 10 were male and 15 were female. Age was 17-68 years old. All cases were monocular. The surgical eye and the contralateral healthy eye were divided into the affected eye group and the contralateral healthy eye group respectively. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), scanning source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA), and axial length (AL) measurements were performed 3 months after surgery. SS-OCTA examination of macular area was performed by VG200 of Visual Microimaging (Henan) Technology Co., LTD. Scanning range 21 mm×26 mm. According to the partitioning method of the early treatment group of glycosuria retinopathy, the retina within 21 mm of the macular fovea was divided into concentric circles with the macular fovea as the center and diameters of 1-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-21 mm, respectively. The built-in software of the device was used to record the central area (12 mm×12 mm in the fovea of the macula) and the peripheral area (12-21 mm range) retinal superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) blood density and choroidal vascular index (CVI), choroidal vascular volume (CVV), and 1-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-21 mm above concentric circles (S), nasal side (N), temporal side (T), and lower side (I) SCP, DCP, and RPC blood flow density. Quantitative data between the two groups were compared by independent sample t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. The correlation between retinal and choroid blood flow parameters and postoperative BCVA was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results:Compared with the opposite healthy eye group, SCP blood density in the central area ( Z=-4.372), DCP blood density in the central area ( Z=-2.829), and CVI in the peripheral area ( Z=-2.138) were decreased in the affected eye group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). SCP: in the affected eye group, the blood flow density in T 3-6 mm, T 6-12 mm, N 6-12 mm and T 12-21 mm regions decreased, while the blood flow density in I 6-12 mm regions increased, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). DCP: blood flow density in S 6-12 mm, I 6-12 mm, S 12-21 mm and I 12-21 mm regions decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). RPC: blood flow density decreased significantly in T 6-12 mm and I 12-21 mm, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). CVI: T 6-12 mm, S 12-21 mm, T 12-21 mm, I 12-21 mm significantly decreased, and T 1-3 mm, S 12-21 mm significantly increased, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that AL growth was positively correlated with CVV in central region ( r=0.408, P=0.040). The number of pad pressure was negatively correlated with the blood density of central DCP ( r=-0.422, P=0.030). Conclusions:After scleral buckling operation, the blood flow density and choroidal blood flow parameters in RRD affected eyes are lower than those in contralateral healthy eyes in some areas. The increase of AL is positively correlated with CVV in the central region, and the wider the range of pad pressure, the worse the recovery of DCP blood density.

The paper discusses the scientific connotation of"heart and brain co-dominating the mind",including the connotation of"heart and brain co-dominating the mind"in traditional Chinese medicine and the physiological and pathological relationship be-tween heart and brain in modern medicine.Based on the understanding of"heart and brain co-dominating the mind",this paper be-lieves that"restlessness of mind"is the core pathogenesis of insomnia,and regulating mind is the key to the acupuncture and moxibus-tion treatment of insomnia.The autonomic nervous system(ANS)is a bridge connecting the heart and brain,and is closely related to the central anatomy,neurotransmitters and physiological rhythms of sleep.The imbalance of ANS is highly consistent with the patho-genesis of"heart and brain restlessness"in traditional Chinese medicine.The Governor Vessel runs through the brain and the heart,and the"Governor Vessel regulating spirit acupuncture"can communicate the heart and brain,regulate ANS function,and thus im-prove sleep quality.

Objective:To explore the implementation method of the "daily-monthly-quarterly" quality control model based on total quality management (TQM) theory in nursing quality management, and evaluate its application effectiveness.Methods:A quasi-experimental research method was used. The quarterly quality control model employed at Shanxi Medical University Second Hospital from 2018 to 2019 was set as the control group, and the"day-month-quarter" quality control model based on TQM implemented from 2020 to 2022 was set as the observation group. The nurse practice environment assessment scores from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed; the nursing quality-sensitive indicators between the two groups were compared, including the incidence rate of overall adverse event, falls among hospitalized patients, pressure ulcers of stage 2 and above, unplanned extubations, and catheter-related infections (central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections).Results:The nurse practice environment assessment scores from 2018 to 2022 were (69.11 ± 19.66), (75.20 ± 18.70), (77.60 ± 17.65), (82.45 ± 16.44), and (88.00 ± 15.06). The differences compared to the previous year were statistically significant ( t=3.63-9.24, all P<0.05).After the intervention, the incidence rates of overall adverse events, falls among hospitalized patients, unplanned extubation, central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia in the control group were 0.385% (499/129 678), 0.072% (94/129 678), 0.051% (66/129 678), 0.037% (23/62 390), and 0.746% (43/5 761).

The differences were statistically significant ( χ2values were 3.89-42.83, all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence rates of pressure ulcers of stage 2 and above and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (both P>0.05). Conclusions:The "daily-monthly-quarterly" quality control model based on TQM is beneficial in improving nursing quality and ensuring patient safety.

Objective: To investigate the distribution patterns and risk factors for multidrug-resistant bacterial pulmonary infections in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) undergoing flap reconstruction surgery, and to provide evidence for infection prevention and treatment in this population. Methods: This study was approved by the institutional medical ethics committee. We retrospectively analyzed sputum culture results, antimicrobial susceptibility testing data, and clinical records of 109 OSCC patients undergoing flap reconstruction. Chi-square tests were employed to identify pathogens and risk factors for multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) in postoperative pulmonary infections. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine MDR risk factors and establish a nomogram prediction model. The model’s discriminatory power, accuracy, and clinical utility were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Among the 109 patients, 52 had negative sputum cultures and 57 tested positive, of whom 14 developed multidrug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary infections. Chi-square analysis revealed that blood transfusion, pre-existing pulmonary diseases, operation time ≥ 490 min, intraoperative blood loss ≥ 400 mL, and abnormal BMI were significant risk factors for postoperative MDR infections (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified pre-existing pulmonary diseases, intraoperative blood loss ≥ 400 mL, abnormal BMI, and operative duration ≥ 490 min as independent risk factors for MDR infections (P < 0.05). The nomogram prediction model for MDR infections demonstrated an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.874 (95% CI: 0.775-0.973). The calibration plot showed good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. DCA indicated a net clinical benefit when the threshold probability for high-risk MDR infections ranged from 0.000 to 0.810. Common MDR pathogens included MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB), and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Conclusion Among OSCC patients undergoing flap reconstruction, MDR pulmonary infections were predominantly caused by gram-negative bacteria (including CRAB, MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and MDR Klebsiella pneumoniae along with the gram-positive pathogen MRSA. Pre-existing pulmonary comorbidities, prolonged surgery duration (≥ 490 min), significant intraoperative blood loss (≥ 400 mL), and abnormal BMI were confirmed as independent risk factors for these MDR infections. The nomogram predictive model incorporating these four variables demonstrated clinically reliable accuracy in risk stratification for postoperative MDR pulmonary infections in this patient population.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) are major adverse events in neurosurgical patients. This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning models predicting PPCs after neurosurgery. METHODS: PPCs were defined according to the European Perioperative Clinical Outcome standards as occurring within 7 postoperative days. Data of cases meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria were extracted from the anesthesia information management system to create three datasets: The development (data of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University from 2018 to 2020), temporal validation (data of Huashan Hospital, Fudan University in 2021) and external validation (data of other three hospitals in 2023) datasets. Machine learning models of six algorithms were trained using either 35 retrievable and plausible features or the 11 features selected by Lasso regression. Temporal validation was conducted for all models and the 11-feature models were also externally validated. Independent risk factors were identified and feature importance in top models was analyzed. RESULTS: PPCs occurred in 712 of 7533 (9.5%), 258 of 2824 (9.1%), and 207 of 2300 (9.0%) patients in the development, temporal validation and external validation datasets, respectively. During cross-validation training, all models except Bayes demonstrated good discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.840. In temporal validation of full-feature models, deep neural network (DNN) performed the best with an AUC of 0.835 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.805-0.858) and a Brier score of 0.069, followed by Logistic regression (LR), random forest and XGBoost. The 11-feature models performed comparable to full-feature models with very close but statistically significantly lower AUCs, with the top models of DNN and LR in temporal and external validations. An 11-feature nomogram was drawn based on the LR algorithm and it outperformed the minimally modified Assess respiratory RIsk in Surgical patients in CATalonia (ARISCAT) and Laparoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines (LAS VEGAS) scores with a higher AUC (LR: 0.824, ARISCAT: 0.672, LAS: 0.663). Independent risk factors based on multivariate LR mostly overlapped with Lasso-selected features, but lacked consistency with the important features using the Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) method of the LR model. CONCLUSIONS: The developed models, especially the DNN model and the nomogram, had good discrimination and calibration, and could be used for predicting PPCs in neurosurgical patients. The establishment of machine learning models and the ascertainment of risk factors might assist clinical decision support for improving surgical outcomes.

ObjectiveBased on non-targeted metabolomics， to analyze the regulation of endogenous differential metabolites in serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM） rats by Fuling Yunhua granules， and to clarify the metabolic pathways through which this granules exerted its effect on improving T2DM. MethodSeventy SD rats， half male and half female， were randomly divided into the control group， model group， and high， medium， low dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules（20.70， 10.35， 5.18 g·kg^-1 in raw drug amount） and the positive drug group（pioglitazone hydrochloride tablets， 8.1 mg·kg^-1）. Except for the control group， other groups were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin（STZ） to establish a T2DM rat model. After successful modeling， the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage， and the control group and model group were treated with an equal volume of saline by gavage， once/d， for 28 d. Fasting blood glucose（FBG） and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c（GHbA1c） levels were measured in all groups of rats during the administration period， and hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes in the pancreatic tissues of rats at the end of the administration period. The endogenous metabolite levels in rat serum were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS）， and the data were processed using principal component analysis（PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）. Differential metabolites were identified by the Human Metabolome Database（HMDB） and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， and screened for differential metabolites with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， P<0.05， and fold change（FC）<0.6 or FC>1. And the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0， then the screened differential metabolites were diagnosed and evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic（ROC） curves. ResultCompared with the control group， the FBG level of rats in the model group increased significantly（P<0.01）， the GHbA1c content tended to increase， but the difference was not statistically significant， and the pancreatic tissue of rats was obviously damaged， the number of pancreatic islets decreased， and the pancreatic β-cells were obviously reduced， atrophied and enlarged. Compared with the model group， the FBG levels of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules and the positive drug group were significantly reduced after 2 weeks of administration（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the GHbA1c content of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules was significantly reduced（P<0.05）， and the pancreatic tissue lesions of rats in the different dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules were reduced. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 46 differential metabolites were significantly changed in the model group compared with the blank group. Pathway enrichment analysis found that T2DM mainly affected biological processes including biosynthesis of primary bile acid， D-amino acid metabolism， steroid hormone biosynthesis， and glycerophospholipid metabolism in rats. Compared with the model group， the levels of 8 differential metabolites in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules were significantly adjusted， and the pathway enrichment analysis found that D-amino acid metabolism， retinol metabolism， glycine， serine and threonine metabolism， tryptophan metabolism and other metabolic pathways were mainly involved. ROC curves further analysis revealed that the four characteristic differential markers of 11-cis-retinol， D-piperidinic acid， D-serine， and p-cresol sulfate had high diagnostic value for the treatment of T2DM with Fuling Yunhua granules. ConclusionFuling Yunhua granules can improve the symptoms of T2DM rats by regulating the amino acid metabolic and retinol metabolic pathways through the modulation of endogenous differential metabolites.

Kidney deficiency syndrome is a common clinical syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. With the progress of science and technology， clinical and animal experiments on kidney deficiency syndrome have made remarkable progress. Research on kidney deficiency and the nature of "kidney" involves a large number of physiological and pathological bases， which are closely related to physiological and pathological links in the human body， among which the neuroendocrine-immune network shares the closest relationship. However， there are still many challenges in modern research on kidney deficiency syndrome， such as expert consensus on clinical diagnostic criteria and evaluation indexes and optimization of animal experimental models. In the past decade， a large number of clinical and animal experiments have been reported in the literature on kidney deficiency syndrome， among which the literature focusing on the combination of disease and syndrome is predominant， and most of them focus on kidney Yang deficiency and kidney Yin deficiency， involving the exploration of many pathological mechanisms. Research on the mechanisms related to kidney deficiency syndrome encompasses multiple signaling pathways and various biochemical indicators， including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-relatedfactor-2（PI3K/Akt/Nrf2） signaling pathway， the Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor88/nuclear factor-κB（TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB） signaling pathway， the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3（JAK2/STAT3） signaling pathway， Osteoprotectin/nuclear factor-κB receptor activator ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB （OPG/RANKL/RANK） signaling pathway. The biochemical indicators cover the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cyclic guanosine monophosphate （cAMP/cGMP） ratio， Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase activity， Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-ATPase activity， adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）， polycorticosterone （CORT）， 17-OHCS， and other sex hormone indicators， providing crucial reference values for diagnosing kidney Yang deficiency or kidney Yin deficiency. The literature related to kidney deficiency syndrome over the past decade was collated and excavated， with a view to providing a reference for research on kidney deficiency syndrome.
