BACKGROUND:With the continuous improvement of artificial biological materials and surgical techniques,total knee arthroplasty has become the preferred way to improve the quality of life of patients with knee osteoarthritis. However,patients with knee osteoarthritis have severe pain after knee arthroplasty,and there is no good treatment at present. Electroacupuncture therapy is a low-cost option for pain relief and has wide application prospects in combination with preemptive analgesia.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of opposing needling acupuncture with preemptive analgesia on postoperative analgesia after initial unilateral total knee arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis.METHODS:Using a randomized controlled design,120 participants were selected from Shanghai Guanghua Hospital of Integrative Medicine. All of them received the initial unilateral total knee arthroplasty. The patients were divided into three groups by using the statistical software SPSS 25:pre-electroacupuncture group,post-electroacupuncture group,and sham group,with 40 patients in each group. In pre-electroacupuncture group,opposing needling acupuncture was performed 1 day before operation,30 minutes before anesthesia induction,and 1-3 days after operation. In post-electroacupuncture group,opposing needling acupuncture was performed with the same acupoints and parameters 1-3 days after operation,thus the sham electroacupuncture was performed 1 day before operation and 30 minutes before anesthesia induction. The sham group was treated with the same acupuncture point parameters with five times of sham electroacupuncture. The improvement of numerical rating scale after operation,the consumption of remifentanil and propofol used during operation,the time when patient first used the patient-controlled analgesia,the number of postoperative nausea and vomiting,the increase rate of thigh circumference,and the success rate of blind method were compared among the three groups.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Compared with the pre-electroacupuncture group,the improvement of numerical rating scale at rest between post-electroacupuncture group and sham group on day 4 after operation was significantly reduced;the improvement of numerical rating scale at rest in sham group on day 7 after operation was significantly reduced (P<0.05). (2) Compared with the pre-electroacupuncture group,the improvement of numerical rating scale score between post-electroacupuncture group and sham group on day 4 after operation was significantly reduced (P<0.05),and the improvement of numerical rating scale with movement on day 7 after operation was not significant among the three groups (P>0.05). (3) Compared with the pre-electroacupuncture group,the remifentanil consumption was significantly increased in post-electroacupuncture group and sham group (P<0.05). (4) Compared with the pre-electroacupuncture group,the first time used the patient-controlled analgesia pump was significantly shortened in post-electroacupuncture group and sham group (P<0.05). (5) Compared with the pre-electroacupuncture group,the number of postoperative nausea was increased in post-electroacupuncture group and sham group (P<0.05). (6) Compared with the pre-electroacupuncture group,the increase rate of thigh circumference in post-electroacupuncture group and sham group was significantly increased on day 3 and day 7 after operation (P<0.05). Compared with the post-electroacupuncture group,the increase rate of thigh circumference in sham group was significantly increased on day 3 and day 7 after operation (P<0.05). (7) There was no significant difference in the success rate of blind method among the three groups (P>0.05). (8) The artificial knee prosthesis has good biocompatibility. To conclude,opposing needling acupuncture with preemptive analgesia can relieve acute pain after total knee arthroplasty,reduce the consumption of intraoperative anesthesia,prolong the time of postoperative analgesia,alleviate postoperative adverse reactions,and reduce the increase rate of thigh circumference.

Objective:To investigate the prenatal ultrasound detection and prognosis of fetuses with cysts of filum terminale.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 68 fetuses with cysts of filum terminale that underwent level Ⅲ systematic ultrasound examination and were successfully followed up at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to June 2023. The analysis included the initial detection time, cyst size, accompanying abnormalities, whether the cysts disappeared in utero, outcomes, and postnatal follow-up. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed.Results:The earliest ultrasound detection of filum terminale cysts was at 21 weeks and 4 days of gestation, with a median length of 4.3 mm (range 2.0-19.5 mm). Among the 68 cases, 69% (47/68) were isolated filum terminale cysts, and 31% (21/68) were non-isolated filum terminale cysts. Structural abnormalities associated with non-isolated filum terminale cysts were most commonly cardiovascular (7/21, 33%), urogenital (6/21, 29%), and neurological (6/21, 29%) systems. Prenatal ultrasound follow-up was performed in 41 cases, with an intrauterine disappearance rate of 63% (26/41). The disappearance rates for isolated and non-isolated filum terminale cysts were 67% (22/33) and 4/8, respectively. The earliest disappearance was at 25 weeks of gestation, with the shortest duration being 12 days. Prenatal genetic testing was conducted in 10 cases, with no definite pathogenic variants detected. There were 10 cases of induced labor, including two cases of isolated filum terminale cysts and eight cases of non-isolated filum terminale cysts. The remaining 58 cases resulted in live births, with postnatal follow-up ranging from 3 months to 3 years, showing no abnormal findings.Conclusion:Most fetal cysts of filum terminale are isolated and can spontaneously disappear in utero, with a generally good prognosis.

To enhance patients′ medical experience, a major Grade-A tertiary hospital has chosen its cardio-cerebrovascular disease branch with excellent specialty and prominent aging problems for innovative outpatient service systems. It created a comprehensive outpatient nursing post that integrated multiple departments of outpatient services, providing outpatient nursing services and related medical services such as outpatient office, medical insurance, and finance. By breaking the limitations of professional services, adjusting the outpatient service space, establishing standardized personnel training, assessment, and incentive mechanisms, and establishing an effective quality management system, the patients could complete all medical services without leaving the consultation area. The processing time for comprehensive patient services has been shortened from around 10 min to 1~5 min. In 2023, the complaint rate of the outpatients in the cardio-cerebrovascular disease branch was 0.89 times per 10 000 people, lower than the average of 1.37 times per 10 000 people in the entire hospital. The average satisfaction score of the outpatients from the branch was 93.9 points, higher than the 89.6 points of the entire hospital, achieving satisfactory results.

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of autonomic nerve function on motor function in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) from the perspective of regional homogeneity (ReHo). MethodsFrom January to December, 2020, a total of 60 inpatients and outpatients with cerebral infarction in the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were divided into control group (n = 30) and PSD group (n = 30). Two groups were assessed using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD). Heart rate variability (HRV) was measured. Ten patients in each group were selected randomly to undergo resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to calculate ReHo. ResultsAll HRV indices were lower in PSD group than in the control group (|t| > 2.092, P < 0.05). In PSD group, FMA and MBI scores showed positive correlations with 24-hour standard deviation of normal-to-normal R-R intervals (SDNN), the root mean square of successive differences between normal heartbeats over 24 hours (RMSSD), the percentage of differences between adjacent normal R-R intervals over 24 hours that were greater than 50 ms (PNN50), total power (TP), very low frequency power (VLF) and low frequency power (LF) (r > 0.394, P < 0.05), and showed negative correlations with HAMD scores (|r| > 0.919, P < 0.001). HAMD scores in PSD group were negatively correlated with SDNN, RMSSD, PNN50, TP and VLF (|r| > 0.769, P < 0.001). Compared with the control group, the ReHo increased in PSD group in the right rectus gyrus (142 voxels, t = 6.575), the left medial and paracingulate gyri (204 voxels, t = 4.925) (GRF correction, P_-Voxel < 0.005，P_-Cluster < 0.05); and reduced in the right cerebellum (191 voxels, t = -6.487), the left middle temporal gyrus (140 voxels, t = -5.516), and the left precentral gyrus (119 voxels, t = -4.764) (GRF correction, P_-Voxel < 0.005，P_-Cluster < 0.05) in PSD group. ConclusionAutonomic nerve function is related to motor dysfunction in patients with PSD. The modulation of emotional, cognitive and motor brain regions by the autonomic nervous system may play a role in influencing the motor function in patients with PSD.

Objective: Previous research has explored a variety of mental disorders associated with Internet Gaming Disoder (IGD) and Social Media Addiction (SMA). To date, few studies focused on the network characteristics and investigated mood and sleep symptoms across SMA and IGD of adolescence at a group-specific level. This study aims to identify different characteristics of IGD and SMA and further determine the group-specific psychopathology process among adolescents. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study to recruit a cohort of 7,246 adolescents who were scored passing the cutoff point of Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form and Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale, as grouped in IGD and SMA, or otherwise into the control group. Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were assessed for the current study, and all assessed items were investigated using network analysis. Results: Based on the analytical procedure, the participants were divided into three groups, the IGD group (n=789), SMA group (n=713) and control group (n=5,744). The edge weight bootstrapping analysis shows that different groups of networks reach certain accuracy, and the network structures of the three groups are statistically different (pcontrol-IGD=0.004, pcontrol-SMA<0.001, pIGD-SMA<0.001). The core symptom of SMA is “feeling down, depressed, or hopeless”, while IGD is “feeling tired or having little energy”. Conclusion Although IGD and SMA are both subtypes of internet addiction, the psychopathology processes of IGD and SMA are different. When dealing with IGD and SMA, different symptoms should be addressed.

The homogeneous management of outpatient services at public hospitals with multi-campus is the foundation for promoting high-quality development of hospitals. Since 2013, a large general hospital had implemented a practice of multi-campus homogeneous management of outpatient services based on the hospital′s integrated organizational structure and management system, addressing such issues as weak outpatient service capabilities in the early stages of new campus construction, lack of homogenization in management system implementation, and poor communication between cross hospital services and information. An integrated post management mode was established with multi-post service integration, cross-post personnel flow and unified job standard. An integrated outpatient quality management system was created by the strategy of " one standard" system management, " one platform" service handling, integrated quality monitoring and management, and multi-aspect service experience improvement. The integration of vertical management and flat management were promoted through the committee system, three-level management system, and functional groups. At the same time, this management practice actively leveraged the advantages of the hospital to innovate services, and promoted the interconnection of outpatient service information across hospital areas, to integrate outpatient service positions, work, services, and management across multi campuses. The satisfaction rate of outpatient patients, the pass rate of outpatient medical records, and the on-time visit rate of outpatient physicians had increased from 91.96分, 95.38%, and 91.62% in 2019 to 93.75分, 98.47%, and 93.68% in 2022, as well as the stopping rate of expert outpatient services had decreased from 5.26% to 1.86%. This practice of homogeneous management had achieved good results, so as to provide references for other hospitals to carry out homogeneous management of outpatient services in their campuses.

Objective:To observe the effect of evidence-based early activity training on postoperative delirium in patients with brain tumor resection.Methods:This study used non-contemporary comparison method, a total of 238 patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine in 2019, were included. 121 patients who met the inclusion criteria and signed informed consent after craniotomy during January 1st,2019 to June 31th,2019 were included in the control group, and 117 patients who met the criteria and obtained informed consent after craniotomy during July 1 to December 31,2019, were included in the experimental group. Neurosurgical postoperative routine nursing care were given to the control group. The experimental group received evidence-based early activity training. The incidence of delirium, duration of delirium, Barthel Index (BI), delirium-related adverse events and other indicators of postoperative hospitalization were compared between two groups.Results:The incidence of delirium, duration of delirium and postoperative hospital stay in the experimental group were 9.5%, 2.0 (1,3) days and 7 (5,10) days, lower than 23.3%, 3.0 (1,5) days and 8 (6,11) days in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 value was 8.17, Z value were 2.96 and -2.01, P<0.05). BI index 1 week and 1 month after discharge in the experimental group was 90 (85, 90), 100 (100, 100), higher than the control group of 90 (86, 90) and 100 (100,100), with statistically significant difference ( Z values were -2.41 and -2.46, P<0.05), the comparison of adverse events, 0 case in experimental group, 1 case in control group, there was no statistically significant difference ( χ2 value was 0.97, P>0.05). Conclusions:Early evidence-based activities in patients with brain tumor resection can reduce the incidence of postoperative delirium, shorten the duration of postoperative delirium and postoperative hospital stay, and improve the ability of patients to take care of themselves after surgery, which is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of workplace violence and explore the relationship between workplace violence and emotional intelligence among psychiatric nurses Methods Totally 453 nurses were enrolled from five psychiatric hospitals via regional stratification and clustersampling in Shandong province. The workplace violence frequency scale, emotional intelligence scale were administered. Results The average workplace violence score among psychiatric nurses was (6.64 ± 3.56) points, while the emotional intelligence average score was (3.79 ± 0.37) points. The each dimensions of emotional intelligence were negatively correlated with workplace violence and types of workplace violence among psychiatric nurses(r=-0.496--0.214, P<0.01). Results of hierarchical liner regression showed that self-emotion management, type of ward, emotional awareness, hospital degree, gender could negatively predict workplace violence of psychiatric nurses (R2=0.333,F=44.636, P=0.000). Conclusions Workplace violence is prevalent among psychiatric nurses, and emotional intelligence might have influence on workplace violence.
