OBJECTIVE To establish a interview outline design process and quality control evaluation method based on grounded theory， providing ideas for qualitative research interview outline design in medical fields. METHODS A literature review was conducted to understand the current research status； a preliminary interview outline was developed around the research content. The triangulation method， group evaluation， expert review and pre-interview were adopted to execute the interview outline and conduct quality control. The evaluation indicators and target values were formulated （an average score for the overall quality evaluation of all indicators ≥4.5， and an average score for individual indicators ≥4.00） to evaluate the effect of the interview outline. Taking the research on the mechanism of physicians’ prescribing behavior under the background of Diagnosis Related Groups （DRGs） payment as an example， the methodological contents of above interview outline were applied in practical research. RESULTS The interview outline included basic information and interview questions. The interview questions were divided into three parts：influencing factors survey， promoting and hindering factors of standardizing physician prescription behavior， and communication， with a total of 12 questions. After being reviewed by members of the research group， experts review and pre- interview， a total of 9 people participated in the quality control evaluation of the interview outline. The overall evaluation score was 4.94 （＞4.50）， and the average score of each indicator was greater than 4.00， indicating that the quality of the outline met the requirements for the interview and could be used for the formal interview. CONCLUSIONS The established interview outline design and quality control method based on grounded theory provides ideas for the qualitative research interview outline design in the medical field， and lays the foundation for further using grounded theory to study the influencing factors and mechanisms of physician prescription behavior under the DRG background.

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and outcomes of rectal injury (RI) occurring after radical prostatectomy (RP). Methods: The clinical data of 513 patients with prostatic cancer undergoing RP in our hospital during Mar.2013 and Oct.2022 were retrospectively collected and statistical description of the occurrence of RI among them was conducted.There were a total of 7 patients with RI during operation and 1 progressed to rectourethral fistula (RUF).We summarized the clinical and pathological data of these 7 patients.The treatment strategies of RI/RUF after RP in 11 different centers were explored and summarized in combination with literature review. Results: Among the 7 RI patients, 6 developed RI during operation and healed after repair, while 1 progressed to RUF after operation.For this patient, conservative treatment failed and colostomy was performed along with bilateral ureteral stent placement and cystostomy.The RUF was repaired via the transanal approach.During the treatment process, recurrent and refractory bladder irritation symptoms and bladder spasms occurred.Data of 3203 patients who underwent RP in 11 different centers were collected; 56(1.75%) cases developed RI, 41 of which were detected and repaired during operation; 14(0.44%) developed RUF, 7 of which had fistula closed spontaneously and 7 received surgical repair. Conclusion: RI, especially RUF, is one of the rarest and severest complications after RP.Once RI is detected during operation, immediate and thorough two-layer suture repair should be performed.

Objective To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of a spray prepared from exosomes derived from M2 macrophages induced by interleukin-4 （IL-4） and tantalum particles （Ta） on the healing of pressure ulcers. Methods Bone marrow-derived macrophages were polarized into M2 macrophages using IL-4 or Ta, and exosomes （Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta） were extracted. The regulatory effects of Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta on M1 macrophage phenotypes and fibroblast matrix secretion were evaluated in vitro. Proteomic analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes and regulatory networks associated with Exo-Ta. A rat pressure ulcer model was used to assess the effects of Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta spray on wound healing rate, inflammatory cell infiltration, and collagen deposition. Results In vitro, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta induced the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages, reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, and promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory substances. Additionally, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta enhanced the production of collagen and fibronectin in fibroblasts. Proteomic analysis revealed that Exo-Ta primarily participated in biological processes such as energy metabolism and macromolecule biosynthesis. In vivo, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta spray accelerated wound healing, reduced inflammatory infiltration, and improved tissue remodeling in the rat pressure ulcer model. Conclusion Exosome sprays derived from M2 macrophages could accelerate pressure ulcer healing by modulating inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, which demonstrated excellent clinical application potential.

Persistent left superior vena cava is a rare venous variant that is often combined with cardiovascular malformations. In thoracic surgery, especially mediastinal tumor resection, neglect of this variant may make the surgery difficult and risky, and careful preoperative imaging interpretation and adequate preoperative evaluation play an important role in the perioperative safety of the patient. In this paper, we reported a case of a 17-year-old female patient with a persistent left superior vena cava combined with mediastinal tumors. She was successfully discharged 5 days after thoracoscopic surgery, and after 3 years of postoperative follow-up, no tumor recurrence was observed.

Aim To design and synthesize a series of phenylacetamide derivatives with different substituted phenylacetic acid as raw materials,and to investigate the protective effects of the compound on the damage of pancreatic β cells induced by palmitate acid(PA).Methods Min6 cells were cultured and divided into B blank control group,PA treatment group and PA+compounds group.The viability of Min6 cells was de-tected by CCK-8.The protein expressions of TXNIP and NLRP3 were observed by Western blot.MDA con-tent and SOD activity were detected by MDA and SOD kit.The insulin secretion of Min6 islet cells was meas-ured with insulin ELISA kit.Results A total of 10 phenylacetamide derivatives were designed and synthe-sized.Their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and ESI-MS.Pharmacological activity study showed that most of the compounds had protective effects on islet βcells,among which LY-6 and LY-8 had stronger pro-tective effects than PA model group,with the cell via-bility of 61.4％,and LY-6 had the highest cell activi-ty,reaching to 104.9％.Compared with PA group,the protein expression of TXNIP and NLRP3 decreased in LY-6 and LY-8 groups,MDA content decreased and SOD activity increased,and insulin secretion of Min6 cell increased.Conclusions LY-6 and LY-8 inhibit TXNIP expression and decrease the activation of NL-RP3 inflammasome,and decrease the production of MDA and increase SOD activity,and thus reducing is-let β cells apoptosis and increasing insulin secretion.Therefore,the compound LY-6 could serve as a poten-tial anti-diabetic new chemical entity.

Aim To explore the potential genes and mechanism of alisol B in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The proliferation and migration of NSCLC cells were detected by CCK-8 and Transwell.Genes of NSCLC and alisol B were col-lected through TCGA and compound gene prediction database,and their intersection genes were obtained.The network of protein-protein interaction(PPI)was constructed by using String database,and the top 20 key nodes were screened out,and the prognosis-related proteins related to the prognosis of NSCLC were screened out by using R language,and the intersection of them was obtained.The potential mechanism of ali-sol B on NSCLC was explored by KEGG and GO en-richment analysis and the relationship between related genes and immune cells,which was verified by cell-lev-el experiments.Results Alisol B inhibited the cell activity and migration ability of NSCLC cells.Five im-portant genes were identified by network pharmacologi-cal analysis:CCNE1,CDK1,COL1A1,COL1A2 and COL3A1.The results of cell experiment showed that al-isol B down-regulated the expression of Cyclin E1,CDK1 and COL1A2 in NSCLC cells.In addition,alisol B could inhibit the expression of COL1A2 and M2 macrophage marker CD206 in macrophages.Conclu-sions Alisol B may inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells by down-regulating CDK1 and Cyclin E1,and may affect the function of macrophages by inhibiting COL1A2,thus regulating the tumor immune microenvi-ronment and inhibiting NSCLC.

Objective:To explore the development status, research hotspots, and frontiers of low value care (LVC) de-implementation in foreign countries.Methods:The literature on LVC de-implementation included in the Web of Science core collection from 1995 to 2023 was electronically searched. Excel software was used to organize literature. CiteSpace software was used to visually analyze the authors, institutions, countries, journals, co-citation status, and key terms included in the literature.Results:A total of 576 articles were included. The overall number of articles published from 1995 to 2023 showed an increase, with the highest in 2022 (150 articles). The top 10 research institutions with publication volume and centrality> 0.10 were the Harvard University and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Compared with other journals, Archives of Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology and American Review of Respiratory Disease had the highest number of indexed literature. The journals with a co-citation frequency greater than 50 and centrality>0.10 were Archives of Internal Medicine, The American Journal of Medicine, British Medical Journal and Annals of Internal Medicine. In addition to the key terms searched for in this study, the key terms frequently cited greater than 30 times in 576 articles were "impact" "management" "outcome" "health" "quality" "health care", and "guidelines". The clusters in keyword clustering analysis that extend the timeline to the past 5 years were "value based care" and "low value care". The analysis of burst words showed that the forefront was the accurate identification of LVC in clinical practice and the intervention strategies for LVC de-implementation. Conclusions:Through the analysis of key terms and burst terms, it is found that in recent years, research topics in this field focus on the relationship between LVC and medical insurance expenditures, the influencing factors of de-implementation, tools (checklists or manuals) for identifying LVC, clinical intervention pathways, de-implementation of different types of LVC, and evaluation of the effectiveness of de-implementation. In the future, domestic research needs to strengthen international cooperation and exchange, explore and construct a suitable implementation path for LVC in China, accurately formulate LVC lists and intervention strategies, optimize nursing measures, improve the effective utilization of medical resources, and provide effective and high-quality nursing services for patients.

Objective:To explore the key factors affecting plasma clot retraction and optimize the experimental method of plasma clot retraction,in order to study the regulation of platelet function and evaluate the modulatory effects of drugs on plasma clot retraction.Methods:The effects of different concentrations of thrombin,Ca2+and platelets on plasma clot retraction were studied,and the detection system of plasma clot retraction was optimized.The availability of the detection system was then validated by analyzing the regulatory effects of multiple signaling pathway inhibitors on plasma clot retraction.Results:Through the optimization study of multiple factors,platelet rich plasma(PRP)containing 0.5 mmol/L Ca2+and 40 × 109/L platelets was treated with 0.2 U/ml thrombin to perform plasma clot retraction analysis.After treatment with thrombin for 15 min,plasma clot retracted significantly.After treatment with thrombin for 30 min,the percentage of plasma clot retraction was more than 50％.The regulatory effects of multiple signaling pathway inhibitors on plasma clot retraction were studied in this detection system.PKC inhibitor Go 6983 exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on plasma clot retraction,while PI3K inhibitor Ly294002 and p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 slightly suppressed plasma clot retraction.Conclusion:PRP containing 0.5 mmol/L Ca2+and 40 × 109/L platelets can be induced with 0.2 U/ml thrombin to conduct plasma clot retraction analysis,which can be used to study the regulation of platelet function and evaluate the modulatory effects of drugs on plasma clot retraction.
