Objective:To implement an overview of systematic reviews on the effects of brain-computer interface training on upper limb functional rehabilitation in stroke patients.Methods:The systematic review/Meta-analysis of the effect of brain-computer interface training on upper limb functional rehabilitation in stroke patients was electronically retrieved in PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, CINAHL, Embase, Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from database establishment to November 2024. Two researchers independently performed literature screening and data extraction and evaluated the quality of methodology, reporting, and evidence.Results:A total of 14 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses were included. The results showed that brain-computer interface training helped to improve upper limb motor function, muscle strength and activities of daily living in stroke patients, but the rehabilitative effect on muscle spasm needed to be further confirmed.Conclusions:Brain-computer interface training helps to improve upper limb motor function, muscle strength and activities of daily living in stroke patients. However, the methodological quality and reporting quality of the current studies are poor, and there is still a need for high-quality studies with rigorous design and standardized process to provide reference for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the effect of Bian-stone warming and ironing therapy on gastrointestinal blood flow in patients with severe cerebrovascular disease undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.Methods:From January 2023 to October 2024, 92 patients with severe cerebrovascular disease in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University were selected for the study using convenience sampling method. The patients were divided into a control group and an experimental group of 46 cases each according to the randomized numerical table method. Control group was given routine nursing, and experimental group carried out Bian-stone warming and ironing therapy on the basis of control group. Peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and time-averaged mean velocity (TAMV) of the superior mesenteric artery of the two groups of patients were monitored before and after five days of intervention, respectively, and the situation of gastric retention and bowel sounds were recorded and compared between the groups.Results:PSV was higher in experimental group than in control group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference in EDV between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). TAMV of experimental group was higher than that of control group after intervention, and the difference in TAVM before and after intervention of experimental group was smaller than that of control group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). The number of cases of gastric retention and weakened or disappeared bowel sounds in experimental group was less than that in control group after intervention, and the differences were all statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Bian-stone warming and ironing therapy improves gastrointestinal blood flow rate and reduces feeding intolerance in patients with severe cerebrovascular disease undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.

Objective:To retrieve and evaluate the best evidence on the assessment and management of constipation in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and provide clinical practitioners with evidence-based guidelines for effectively managing constipation in this patient group.Methods:A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases including UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Healthcare Center, CINAHL, Medline, PubMed, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, Evidence-Based Medicine database, Ovid, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, SinoMed, Chinese Guidelines Network, World Health Organization website, and various national PD, neurology, and gastroenterology associations' websites. The search covered literature from December 2018 to December 2023. The methodological quality of the retrieved literature was assessed, and relevant evidence was extracted and summarized.Results:A total of 12 articles were included: one clinical decision-making article, four clinical guidelines, three systematic reviews, and four expert consensus. Fifteen pieces of evidence were summarized from four aspects: screening and assessment, non-pharmacological interventions, pharmacological interventions, and health education.Conclusions:This study summarized the best evidence for the assessment and management of constipation in PD patients from various dimensions and provided evidence-based guidelines for clinical practitioners.

Objective:To screen for preoperative frailty risk factors in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases and construct a risk prediction model.Methods:From September 2021 to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 324 elderly patients who underwent spinal surgery in the Department of Neurosurgery at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University as research subjects. The patients were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Barthel Index, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002, Mini-mental State Examination, Geriatric Depression Scale-15, Generalized Anxiety Disorde-7, Athens Insomnia Scale, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Modified Frailty Index. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of preoperative frailty in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases and establish a risk prediction model. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the discriminative power of the model, and Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the goodness of fit of the model.Results:A total of 324 questionnaires were distributed, and 308 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.06% (308/324). Among 308 elderly patients with degenerative spinal diseases, 56 patients experienced preoperative frailty. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that falls within one year, CCI, serum albumin, activities of daily living, and self-rated health status were the influencing factors for preoperative frailty in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the prediction model was 0.851, with a sensitivity of 0.786 and a specificity of 0.778. Hosmer Lemeshow test indicated that the predictive model had a good fit (χ 2=3.764, P=0.709) . Conclusions:Falls within one year, CCI, serum albumin, activities of daily living, and self-rated health status are influencing factors for preoperative frailty in elderly patients with spinal degenerative diseases. The risk prediction model constructed can identify preoperative frailty early and has good predictive performance, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the current status of unplanned readmission to the ICU in neurosurgical patients and to study its influencing factors,aiming to inform the construction of targeted nursing interventions for medical staff.Methods From January 2020 to September 2022,the relevant data of patients transferred out from the ICU of a tertiary-level hospital in Beijing were retrospectively analyzed.After using propensity score matching,a sample with balanced covariates between groups was obtained,and single-factor and Logistic regression analyses were used to study the influencing factors of unplanned readmission to the ICU in neurosurgical patients.Results The data of a total of 4 789 patients were included,and 159 patients(3.32％)had unplanned readmission to the ICU.Respiratory failure and pulmonary infection were the main respiratory complications causing unplanned readmission to the ICU in neurosurgical patients.Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of mechanical ventilation,the length of the first stay in the ICU,tracheal intubations ≥2 times,presence of cerebrospinal fluid drainage tube or lumbar drainage tube,existence of mild to moderate consciousness disorder at discharge from ICU,low white blood cell count,and low hemoglobin count were independent influencing factors for unplanned readmission to ICUs in neurosurgical patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Medical staff should pay attention to the high-risk group of unplanned return to the ICU,assess the risk of transfer in a timely manner,carry out targeted nursing measures and strengthen the quality of nursing care to reduce the incidence of unplanned retum to the ICU in neurosurgical patients.
