[Objective]To investigate the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in semen after COVID-19 infection in vaccinated individuals and to evaluate the impact of different recovery stages on sperm quality.[Methods]From January to March 2023,vaccinated male patients with recent SARS-CoV-2 infections confirmed by throat swabs were recruited from the Reproductive Medicine Center at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University.Semen samples were analyzed with RT-qPCR to detect SARS-CoV-2 RNA.A retrospective analysis assessed sperm quality across recovery stages,comparing patients within 30 days of recovery to those with 30 days or more.Semen parameters evaluated included volume,total sperm count,forward motility percentage,abnormal morphology rate,and sperm DNA fragmentation index.In addition,a longitudinal self-comparison was performed to examine changes in semen quality before and after recovery(＜30 days and≥30 days).[Results]SARS-CoV-2 RNA was undetectable in the semen of all 205 patients.Neither cross-sectional comparisons nor longitudinal analyses showed significant differences in semen volume,sperm concentration,total sperm count,sperm morphology rate,sperm DNA fragmentation index,or high DNA stainability between recovery stages or compared to pre-infection values(P＞0.05).However,forward motility percentage markedly decreased during recovery,with statistical significant between groups(P＜0.05).[Conclusions]In vaccinated individuals who contracted COVID-19,SARS-CoV-2 was not transmitted through semen.Although the incidence of asthenozoospermia may increase within 30 days post-infection,this effect appears reversible in the short time.

Objective:To investigate the status of sedentary behavior and its influencing factors among inpatients with stable schizophrenia, providing empirical evidence for developing interventions to reduce sedentary behavior.Methods:A cross-sectional survey design was used to prospectively collect clinical data from 166 inpatients with stable schizophrenia (97 males, 69 females, mean age 56.4±8.4 years) hospitalized at the Shanghai Mental Health Center affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from February 2024 to May 2024. Sedentary behavior time was assessed using the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ), daily step count was measured via pedometers, and negative schizophrenic symptoms were evaluated using the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS). Patients were divided into a non-sedentary behavior group (≥5 000 steps/day, 66 cases) and a sedentary behavior group (<5 000 steps/day, 100 cases). Clinical variables were compared between the two groups, and binary logistic regression was used to identify influencing factors of sedentary behavior.Results:Stable inpatients with schizophrenia exhibited high levels of sedentary behavior, with an average daily sedentary time of (8.03±2.33) hours and a median daily step count of 3 352 (1 258-5 506) steps. Significant differences were observed between sedentary and non-sedentary behavior groups in Age ( t=-2.38),hospitalization duration ( Z=-1.53),blunted affect ( t=-8.37),poverty of thought ( t=-2.45),avolition ( t=-2.45),impoverished interests/social engagement ( t=-2.41),abdominal obesity ( χ2=9.18),and open vs. restricted hospital/wards environment ( χ2=8.88)(all P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis identified that hospital/wards environment ( OR=0.314, 95 %CI: 0.125-0.787),hospitalization duration ( OR=1.001, 95 %CI: 1.000-1.001),and the negative symptom of blunted affect ( OR=3.256, 95 %CI: 1.960-5.407)(all P<0.05) were significantly influencing factors for sedentary behavior in patients with stable schizophrenia. Conclusion:Hospitalized patients with stable schizophrenia exhibit high levels of sedentary behavior. Hospital/wards environment and blunted affect are significant factors influencing sedentary behavior.

Objective:To systematically summarize, describe, and evaluate the evidence related to convex baseplates use in adult ostomy patients through an evidence map, in order to identify research gaps and future directions.Methods:A systematic search was conducted in Chinese and English databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and PubMed, and others, from database inception to September 2024. Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on convex baseplates use in adult ostomy patients were included. Literature quality was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 bias risk assessment tool and the critical appraisal tool for quasi-experimental studies from the Joanna Briggs Institute Centre for Evidence-Based Healthcare. Based on the PICO principle [participant (P) , intervention (I) , comparison (C) , outcome (O) ] , an evidence mapping coding system was extracted and developed by integrating relevant guidelines and consensus. Data extraction and coding were performed using EPPI-Reviewer software, and key evidence characteristics and literature quality were presented using bubble charts.Results:A total of eight randomized controlled trials and six quasi-experimental studies were included. Most of the 14 studies had a high risk of bias. The target populations for interventions were divided into two categories: prevention and treatment. The main complications involved stoma skin-mucosal separation, stoma peristomal dermatitis, and stoma height issues. The main outcome measures included baseplate seal integrity, wound healing, complication rates, clinical symptoms, adverse events, patient acceptance, and quality of life.Conclusions:Most of the studies on convex baseplates has focused on enterostomy patients. The majority of studies have a high risk of bias, and the number of studies is limited. Further clarification is needed on the selection criteria for convex baseplates with different characteristics, and the clinical application effects of convex baseplates urgently need further evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the current status of convex baseplate selection and use among clinical nurses.Methods:A convenience sampling method was employed to survey 1 873 nurses from 180 hospitals across China between November and December 2024 using a general information questionnaire and a self-designed questionnaire on convex baseplate selection and use. A total of 1 873 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 860 valid responses were collected, yielding a response rate of 99.31% (1 860/1 873) .Results:Among the 1 860 nurses, 88.98% (1 655/1 860) had access to convex baseplates in clinical practice. However, only 8.82% (146/1 655) used them immediately postoperatively, and only 4.53% (75/1 655) chose convex baseplates without considering any product features. The five common clinical indications for convex baseplate use included stoma retraction (96.62%, 1 599/1 655) , peristomal skin folds or depressions (96.56%, 1 598/1 655) , flush stomas (80.12%, 1 326/1 655) , leakage (70.03%, 1 159/1 655) , and abdominal laxity (66.89%, 1 107/1 655) . Common contraindications for use included peristomal varicose veins (77.46%, 1 282/1 655) , peristoma pressure injuries (75.35%, 1 247/1 655) , stoma prolapse (74.50%, 1 233/1 655) , parastomal hernia (72.87%, 1 206/1 655) , and pyoderma gangrenosum (67.01%, 1 109/1 655) . Key assessment areas when selecting convex baseplates included the stoma itself (97.28%, 1 610/1 655) , peristomal skin (96.50%, 1 597/1 655) , abdominal wall contour (95.41%, 1 579/1 655) , excretion patterns (87.37%, 1 446/1 655) , and previous convex baseplate use (82.36%, 1 363/1 655) . Measures commonly used by nurses to enhance adhesion included the use of stoma belts (95.29%, 1 577/1 655) , barrier rings or paste (94.80%, 1 569/1 655) , smoothing peristomal skin folds (90.57%, 1 499/1 655) , advising patients to limit bending (82.96%, 1 373/1 655) , and abdominal binders (57.28%, 948/1 655) .Conclusions:The clinical application of convex baseplates requires further promotion. Nursing administrators should strengthen training on the selection, characteristics, and indications of convex baseplates, with particular emphasis on the understanding of the five key product features.

Binary logistic regression analysis identified that hospital/wards environment ( OR=0.314, 95 %CI: 0.125-0.787),hospitalization duration ( OR=1.001, 95 %CI: 1.000-1.001),and the negative symptom of blunted affect ( OR=3.256, 95 %CI: 1.960-5.407)(all P<0.05) were significantly influencing factors for sedentary behavior in patients with stable schizophrenia. Conclusion:Hospitalized patients with stable schizophrenia exhibit high levels of sedentary behavior. Hospital/wards environment and blunted affect are significant factors influencing sedentary behavior.

Objective To explore the application of quality control circle ( QCC) on continuing nursing care among patients with high pressure sore risk. Methods A total of 218 patients, who discharged from hospital with high risk of getting pressure sore since July 2012 to December 2013 partly from the First People′s Hospital of Wujiang District and partly from community health center and nursing home, were equally divided into experimental group (110) and control group (108). The patients of experimental group treated with normal discharged education and traditional care while patients in the experimental group underwent the continuing nursing care. After 4 weeks discharged, it had been compared the knowledge and skill of pressure sore in caregivers, and the cure of pressure sore was observed at 8 weeks follow up after discharged. Results After 4 weeks QCC, the standard rate of knowledge and skill in caregivers was 90. 91% in the experimental group and 18. 52% in the control group (χ2 =115. 41,P<0. 01), while the occurrence rate of pressure sore was 6. 36%in the experimental group comparing with 29. 63% of the control group (χ2 =20. 08,P<0. 01). After 8 weeks QCC, the cured rate of pressure sore was 57. 14% of the experimental group compared with 12. 50% of the control group (χ2 =43. 111,P <0. 01). Conclusions Application of QCC on continuing nursing care can effectively reduce the incidence of pressure sore among patients at home and in community, as well as increase recovery rate. It is one of innovation for new medical arena.
