Objective To analyze the effect of extended care in patients with gestational heart disease under the mode of multi-disciplinary team(MDT).Methods A total of 116 patients with gestational heart disease admitted to Liaocheng Second People's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the study objects,and the patients were divided into observation group and control group according to nursing method,with 58 patients in each group.All the patients delivered in our hospital,and the control group received routine clinical intervention after delivery.The observation group was given continuous nursing intervention under MDT mode,including team building,intervention implementation and psychological nursing.First,a management team was established and a WeChat group was formed.The team members include 1 deputy chief physician of obstetrics,1 deputy chief physician of cardiology,1 dietitian,1 psychotherapist,1 head nurse of obstetrics,1 head nurse of cardiology,3 responsible nurses of obstetrics and 3 responsible nurses of cardiology.Then the nursing intervention was divided into 3 stages:prenatal,postpartum,and postpartum.Finally,in the hospital and during the follow-up,we communicated with the patients to understand their basic situation,provided targeted guidance,and directed them to shift their attention from negative emotions.Both groups were treated for 6 months.The self-rated abilities for health practices scale(SRAHP)was used to evaluate the patient's health behavior ability(including nutrition status,exercise,health responsibility,and psychological well-being),and atrial fibrillation-quality of life-18(AF-QoL-18)was used to evaluate the patient's quality of life(including physiological,psychological,and sexual function).Cervical local microcirculation(including blood perfusion,capillary tube diameter,microvascular tube diameter),postpartum blood loss at 2 hours and 24 hours,postpartum hospital stay,maternal and infant adverse outcomes(including postpartum hemorrhage,heart failure,maternal death,neonatal death)of the two groups were observed.Results After intervention,all SRAHP scores,AF-QoL-18 scores and cervical local microcirculation levels in both groups were significantly improved compared to before intervention,and the above indexes in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group after intervention[nutrition score:25.06±2.31 vs.19.72±2.68,exercise score:25.54±1.45 vs.19.14±3.65,health responsibility score:24.17±2.33 vs.20.54±2.52,psychological well-being score:25.03±1.62 vs.21.34±3.35,blood perfusion(mL/min):1.10±0.18 vs.0.44±0.15,capillary tube diameter(μm):5.94±0.45 vs.3.41±0.67,microvascular tube diameter(μm):56.59±2.13 vs.44.12±3.78,physiological score:3.86±1.13 vs.3.41±1.04,psychological score:4.13±0.64 vs.3.67±1.42,sexual function score:4.02±0.67 vs.3.78±0.75,all P<0.05].The amount of postpartum blood loss at 2 hours and 24 hours in the observation group was reduced compared to the control group[2 hours postnatal(mL):95.26±10.53 vs.142.74±18.45,24 hours postnatal(mL):183.61±17.54 vs.262.19±38.56,both P<0.05],and the postpartum hospital stay was shorter than the control group(days:5.07±1.48 vs.8.12±2.45,P<0.05),the total incidence of adverse outcomes was lower than that of the control group[1.72%(1/58)vs.12.07%(7/58),P<0.05].Conclusion The continuous nursing intervention under the mode of MDT cooperation can enhance the ability of healthy behavior,improve cervical local microcirculation,promote postpartum recovery,reduce adverse outcomes of maternal and infant,and improve the quality of life of pregnant heart disease patients to a certain extent.

Outpatient humanistic care refered to providing a full process of caring medical services to outpatients. In order to standardize the human caring services for outpatients in medical institutions, promote the comprehensive service level of outpatient services, and improve the patient′s medical experience, Chinese Association for Life Care issued the group standard of Management Norms for Human caring of Outpatients in April 2023. This standard clarified the relevant terms and definitions of human caring for outpatients, specified the basic requirements for human caring, the humanistic quality and care responsibilities of outpatient staff, the outpatient care environment and facilities, the outpatient care process and measures, and quality management. It designed standardized and personalized full process care service norms, providing references for medical institutions at all levels to promote the development of human caring for outpatients.

Congenital laryngomalacia is the most common disease causing laryngeal stridor in infants. The pathogenesis has not yet been clearly concluded. It may be related to abnormal development of laryngeal cartilage anatomical structure, neuromuscular dysfunction, gastroesophageal and laryngeal reflux disease, etc. The typical manifestations of the disease are inspiratory laryngeal stridor and feeding difficulties, which can be divided into mild, moderate and severe according to the severity of symptoms. The diagnosis is mainly based on clinical symptoms, signs and endoscopy, among which endoscopy is an important diagnostic basis. The treatment of laryngomalacia depends on the severity of symptoms. Mild and some moderate congenital laryngomalacia children can be relieved by conservative treatment, and severe and some moderate congenital laryngomalacia children should be treated by surgery. Supraglottic plasty is the main surgical method, which can effectively improve the symptoms of laryngeal stridor, dyspnea, feeding difficulties and growth retardation in most children, and the surgical effect is good.

Objective:To explore the application effect of global trigger tool (GTT) in detecting adverse events in ICU patients.Methods:According to contents of triggers in the GTT white paper, combined with the scope of domestic adverse event reporting and some ICU indexes, 16 triggers were established. A total of 1 683 medical records were collected from ICU of the Second People's Hospital of Liaocheng in Shandong Province from July 2018 to June 2019. According to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, 421 medical records of discharged patients were randomly selected according to the number of sampling intervals and 420 medical records were reviewed after eliminating repeated medical records. GTT method was used for retrospective analysis.Results:Of the 420 medical records actually used for review, 14 of the 16 triggers were positive, and the positive frequency of triggers was 128 cases, involving 62 patients. Adverse events were identified 51 times, involving 43 patients, with a detection rate of 10.24% (43/420) . Among the 51 cases of adverse events, 37 cases (72.55%) were Grade E, 13 cases (25.49%) were Grade F, and 1 case (1.96%) was Grade H. No Grade G or I was found. In the same year, 18 cases of adverse events were reported voluntarily in ICU, the reporting rate was 1.07% (18/1 683) .Conclusions:GTT can be effectively applied to the detection of adverse events in ICU patients, and a properly designed trigger can improve the detection rate.

Objective:To summarize the relationship between the clinicopathological features and prognosis of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) after renal transplantation.Methods:A total of 34 patients with IgAN after renal transplantation confirmed by renal biopsy were enrolled. And another 34 patients with primary IgAN confirmed by initial renal biopsy were adopted as controls. Clinical and pathological features of two groups were compared to explore the relationship between clinicopathological features and prognosis of allograft IgAN.Results:As compared with primary IgAN group, renal function in allograft IgAN group included serum creatinine [(158.5±75.9) vs (84.8±26.8) umol/L], urea nitrogen [(9.7±6.1) vs (5.2±1.4) mmol/L], uric acid [(406.7±87.8) vs (359.0±92.6) umol/L], estimated glomerular filtration rate {(57.4±25.4) vs (91.2±28.6) [ml/(min·1.73m 2)]}. All were statistically significantly higher ( P<0.05) while other parameters showed no differences. Pathologically, the proportion of T1 type (50.0% vs 17.6%) of renal tubular atrophy/interstitial fibrosis was significantly higher in allograft IgAN group than control group ( P<0.05). Furthermore, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed between various pathological parameters and prognosis in allograft IgAN patients. It indicated that the degree of mesangial hyperplasia of patients with transplanted IgAN had a significantly negative impact on the prognosis. Conclusions:The clinicopathological features of patients with allograft IgAN show no difference from those of patients with primary IgAN. And among patients with allograft IgAN, those with severe mesangial hyperplasia often have a worse prognosis.

Objective    To summarize the clinical experience in the treatment of high-risk patients with severe aortic valve disease by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) via heart apex approach and to evaluate the early efficacy. Method    Five patients who underwent TAVI via heart apex approach from September 2017 to February 2019 in Henan Thoracic Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 3 males and 2 females, aged 65-84 (74.6±4.5) years. Result    All operations were performed through a small left incision into the thoracic cavity (3-5 cm), and then through the J-Valve transport system, the aortic valve was successfully released via heart apex after precise positioning under digital subtraction angiography. One patient developed ventricular fibrillation during the operation, and the operation was completed with the assistance of emergency femoral arteriovenous catheterization cardiopulmonary bypass; one patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention first because of severe coronary stenosis; one patient had paroxysmal atrial fibrillation during the perioperative period, and had hepatorenal insufficiency and thrombocytopenia after the operation, and was improved after medical treatment; one patient had perivalvular leak during the operation, and was improved after re-implantation of the valve; one patient was in stable condition during operation and recovered smoothly after operation. Surgery was successful in all 5 patients. The follow-up time was 2-19 months, and the early clinical effect was good. Conclusion    The short-term clinical efficacy of TAVI via heart apex approach in the treatment of high-risk severe aortic valve disease is definite and safe, but the long-term and medium-term effects need to be further evaluated.

Objective To investigate the blood-saving effect of tranexamic acid in patients undergoing Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery.Methods Fifty-six patients of both sexes with acute Stanford type A aortic dissection, aged 34-58 yr, weighing 62-84 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ , with their left ventricular ejection fraction ＞ 40％, undergoing emergency surgery, were randomly divided into 2 groups: control group (group C, n=26) and tranexamic acid group (group TA, n=30).Tranexamic acid was infused as a bolus of 10 mg/kg over 30 min before skin incision followed by an infusion of 10 mg · kg-1 · h-1 throughout the surgery in group TA.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C.The total volume of drainage at 24 h after operation, the postoperative requirement of allogeneic red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets, and re-thoracotomy for bleeding were recorded.The postoperative mechanical ventilation time, duration of intensive care unit stay, and complications after operation were also recorded.Results Compared with group C, the total volume of drainage at 24 h after operation, and the requirement of allogeneic red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets were significantly reduced, the incidence of rethoracotomy for bleeding was decreased, the postoperative mechanical ventilation time, and duration of intensive care unit stay were shortened, and the incidence of postoperative acute lung injury and transient neurological dysfunction were decreased in group TA.Conclusion Tranexamic acid has blood-saving effect and can reduce postoperative bleeding and allogeneic blood transfusion in patients undergoing Stanford type A aortic dissection surgery.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of retrograde access for the interventional treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases when the occluded segment of lower extremity artery could not be reached through antegrade access.Methods Twenty-seven cases (male 17,female 10; age range 32-89 years ) were retrospectively investigated, including 18 with lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans,7 with diabetic foot and 2 with thromboangiitis obliterans.According to the Fontaine staging,6 cases were classified as Fontaine Ⅱ,11were classified as Fontaine Ⅲ and 10 were classified as Fontaine Ⅳ.All cases underwent endovascular operation through antegrade access first with an attempt to cross the occlusive segment,but in vain.So retrograde access was tried via puncture of pedis dorsalis or posterior tibial artery or exposure of lateral branches of posterior tibial artery,peroneal artery or dorsal artery by open surgery,which followed by Percutaneous transluminal angiography and (or) stenting.Results The operation through retrograde access was successful in all cases with obvious improvement of ischemic symptoms.Hematoma at the puncture site occurred in 3 patients,and paresthesia of toes occurred in 1after dorsalis pedis arteriotomy.No severe perioperative complication occurred.The average ankle brachial index increased from 0.37 ± 0.11preoperatively to 0.85 ± 0.12 postoperatively.Conclusions Retrograde access could be used as an alternative strategy in lower extremity arterial occlusive diseases when the occluded segment could not reach through antegrade access.

The delivery of bioactive macromolecular substances into cells provides an efficient approach to changing cellular conditions, and is thus of enormously potential therapeutic significance. It has also been an extremely difficult approach due the the impediment and protective nature of cell membrance until the protein transduction domain's (PTD's) capability to ferry macromolecule across cell membrance was discovered. PTD's efficient transductive function has rendered an exciting promise to the clinical treatment of diseases, therapeutic proteins drug development, and basic medical and applied research. The technology has been successfully applied to deliver a variety of substances into cells or tissue organs, and its superior application values have been explicitly demonstrated.
