Objective This study aims to develop an early in-hospital temperature management protocol for heat stroke patients and assess its effectiveness,providing guidance for rapid cooling and precise target temperature control.Methods The protocol was developed through a Delphi expert consultation combined with expert panel meetings.A multi-center,non-randomized,historical control study was conducted,utilizing convenience sampling to select heat stroke patients from the emergency departments of 7 tertiary hospitals in Zhejiang Province,China,between June and August 2024 as an experimental group.The protocol was implemented in this group,while the control group consisted of heat stroke patients treated between June and August 2022,prior to protocol implementation.Cooling rates,target temperature attainment rates,and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.Results The final protocol included 6 primary indicators,23 secondary indicators,and 56 tertiary indicators.After protocol implementation,the experimental group achieved a cooling rate of 0.08(0.05～0.09)℃/min within 0.5 hours,significantly higher than the control group,which had a rate of 0.04(0.02～0.06)℃/min(P＜0.001).The target temperature attainment rates at 0.5 hours and 2.0 hours were 55.93％and 98.31％,respectively,significantly higher than the rates of 15.87％and 61.11％in the control group(P＜0.001).The mechanical ventilation rate,hospitalization rate,ICU admission rate,and mortality rate in the experimental group were 25.42％,61.02％,44.07％,and 8.47％,respectively.Logistic regression analysis revealed that the early in-hospital temperature management protocol significantly reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization in heat stroke patients,with odds ratios(ORs)of 0.294 and 0.300,respectively(both P＜0.05).Conclusion The developed protocol for early in-hospital temperature management in heat stroke patients is scientific,systematic,and practical.It improves cooling rates and target temperature attainment,thereby enhancing the prognosis of heat stroke patients.

Amblyopia is a common visual development disorder and is the main cause of monocular vision impairment in children and adults. Photobiomodulation(PBM), a non-invasive treatment method, has gradually gained attention in the field of ophthalmology. This paper begins with the macroscopic manifestation of light on the animal model of amblyopia. Additionally, it discusses the pathological changes of the amblyopic retina and the human eye's central nervous system, as well as the influence and mechanism of PBM on the visual perception and processing system and its chemical effect on the visual system through dopamine and melatonin. It examines its mechanism of action, current clinical application status, and future development direction in order to provide new ideas and theoretical foundation for amblyopia treatment.

Objective To explore the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of transesophageal endoscopic surgery for mediastinal tumors. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 17 patients who underwent transesophageal endoscopic resection for benign mediastinal tumors at the Endoscopy Center of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2024. Epidemiological characteristics, surgical parameters, adverse events, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed. Results Among the 17 patients, there were 9 males and 8 females, with an average age of (42.4±14.5) years and an average tumor size of (2.6±1.6) cm. Pathological types included esophageal duplication cysts (6 cases, 35.3%), bronchogenic cysts (5 cases, 29.4%), gastroenteric cysts (3 cases, 17.6%), schwannomas (2 cases, 11.8%), and lymphangioma (1 case, 5.9%). Fourteen patients (82.4%) underwent submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER), 3 patients (17.6%) underwent natural orifice transluminal endoscopic mediastinal surgery. All surgeries were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. En bloc resection was achieved in 11 patients (64.7%), with an average operative time of (60.9±32.6) min. No intraoperative bleeding or mucosal injury occurred, and 4 patients (23.5%) experienced minor complications (pneumothorax, fever, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury), all of which resolved with conservative treatment. The average postoperative hospital stay was (3.2±1.5) days, and no recurrence was observed during the follow-up period. Conclusions Transesophageal endoscopic resection of benign mediastinal tumors is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment method. Further validation of its efficacy and safety through large-scale prospective studies is warranted.

Objective:To describe the current status and research methods of external validation studies of risk prediction models conducted by nursing scholars in China.Methods:Using the search terms "predictive model, external validation, nursing, risk prediction, external validation, nursing" this study searched eight databases (China Biology Medicine disc, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science) for studies published up to June 2023. Literature was imported into EndNote software for organization and deduplication. Two researchers independently conducted initial and secondary screenings by reading the titles, abstracts, and full texts of studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the included studies under the framework of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology.Results:A total of 70 studies (15 dissertations and 55 journal articles), primarily published from 2021 to 2023, were included. Among 246 risk prediction models constructed by nurses, 28.5% (70/246) underwent external validation. The models focused on issues such as infection, cognitive impairment, skin injury, thrombosis, and malnutrition. Most studies were conducted in single-center settings (71.4%, 50/70), with temporal validation being the most common type (67.1%, 47/70). The majority of models were presented as nomograms, though some studies had methodological issues in validation.Conclusions:In recent years, new prediction models for specific diseases or endpoints have continued to emerge from nursing research in China, yet few have undergone external validation for clinical application, and the quality and methods of validation require improvement. Future researchers should standardize and strengthen the external validation and optimization of risk prediction models, focusing on clinical applicability to enhance the practical value of these models.

Objective:To investigate the current status of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) -associated thrombosis prevention nursing practices among surgical nurses, and to provide a scientific basis for targeted future interventions.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 3 151 surgical nurses from tertiary hospitals in 11 provinces and municipalities who attended the Surgical Nursing Academic Symposium of the Chinese Nursing Association between April and May 2023. The survey utilized a standardized questionnaire assessing current practices in PICC-associated thrombosis prevention among clinical nurses.Results:A total of 3 151 questionnaires were distributed, and 2 341 valid responses were collected, yielding a valid response rate of 74.29% (2 341/3 151) . Among the respondents, the training rate on PICC-associated thrombosis prevention was only 62.45% (1 462/2 341) , and just 1.28% (30/2 341) had received full-time (off-duty) training. The usage rate of standardized procedures for PICC-related thrombosis prevention was 92.40% (2 163/2 341) , and the risk assessment rate was 79.79% (1 868/2 341) . Compared to urology and cardiothoracic surgery departments, breast surgery departments had significantly higher rates of thrombosis risk assessment ( P<0.05) . Additionally, 56.69% (1 327/2 341) of surgical nurses used risk assessment tools specific to PICC-associated thrombosis. Among non-pharmacological prevention measures, the implementation rate of encouraging patients to perform grip strength exercises was only 68.26% (1 598/2 341) . Conclusions:The current level of PICC-associated thrombosis prevention nursing among surgical nurses needs further improvement. Efforts should be strengthened in professional training, implementation of standardized protocols, risk assessment, and non-pharmacological interventions.

To provide scientific guidance and standardization for perioperative clinical nursing practice in patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy, relevant evidence on percutaneous renal biopsy nursing care was systematically retrieved and synthesized through an evidence-based approach. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and expert panel discussions, expert consensus on perioperative clinical nursing standards for patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy (hereinafter referred to as the "Consensus") was developed. The Consensus includes three primary themes: preoperative care, intraoperative care, and postoperative care, encompassing 21 secondary themes. It is characterized by scientific rigor, practical applicability, and comprehensiveness, and serves as a valuable reference and guide for clinical nursing professionals across medical institutions.
