Objective To survey conflict occurrence in surrogate decision makers for respiratory intensive care unit(RICU)patients with mechanical ventilation and explore its influencing factors.Methods A total of 101 surrogate decision-makers of mechanical ventilation patients in RICU were subjected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from June 2024 to December 2024 by convenience sampling.General data questionnaire,Preparation for Decision Making Scale and Decisional Conflict Scale were used to conduct questionnaire survey.One-way ANOVA,Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to identify the influencing factors.Results The total score of decision readiness was 64.14±22.35,the total score of decision conflict was 35.18±26.47,and the incidence of decision conflict was 69.31%in the participants.Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically differences in whether knowing about prognosis,relationship with patients,awareness of patients'ideas about treatment,and understanding of information related to mechanical ventilation among the participants(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that decision readiness was negatively correlated with decision conflict and its 3 dimensions(P<0.001).The results of multiple linear regression analysis revealed that understanding of information related to mechanical ventilation and decision readiness were influencing factors for the decision conflict of the participants(P<0.001).Conclusion The decision conflict level is quite higher in the surrogate decision makers for RICU patients with mechanical ventilation,and the level is negatively correlated with the understanding of mechanical ventilation related information and decision readiness.

Objective:To construct an evaluation indicator system for accessories of patient monitor,so as to provide a basis for clinical management,equipment procurement,and technical improvement for accessories of medical monitor.Methods:The initial selection indicators of corresponding accessories of three types of monitoring of medical monitors,including electrocardiogram(ECG),blood oxygen saturation(SpO2)and non-invasive blood pressure(NIBP),were determined through literature research,expert consultation,and actual investigation.The Delphi method was adopted to conduct two rounds of questionnaire consultation for experts from clinical medicine,biomedical engineering and other fields in medical institutions included Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital,The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University and Medical Institute of Chengdu Institute of Metrology Verification and Testing.The evaluation indicators were screened and optimized,and the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)was used to calculate the weights of each indicator.The consistency test was conducted to verify the rationality of the evaluation indicator system.Results:The evaluation indicator system for accessories of medical monitor included three first-level indicators:clinical value,cost value,and management value.The number of second-level indicators about ECG,SpO2 and NIBP of evaluation indicator system were respectively 10,9 and 8,and the number of third-level indicators of that were respectively 20,19,and 14.In the first-level indicators,the clinical value had the highest weight,with 72.49%for ECG,70.88%for SpO2 and 70.32%for NIBP.In the second-level indicators,the accuracy(28.70%for ECG,38.13%for SpO2 and 43.03%for NIBP)and safety(27.47%for ECG,26.48%for SpO2 and 23.06%for NIBP)were the core indicators.The weights of cost value and management value were between 14.62%and 17.41%,and between 12.27%and 12.89%,respectively.Conclusion:The evaluation indicator system for accessories of medical monitor integrates multi-dimensional expert opinions and quantitative analysis,highlights the priority principle for clinical performance.It can provide theoretical support for optimizing selection about accessory for medical institutions,and improving quality of monitoring,and promoting standardized management in the industry.

Objective·To evaluate the effects of anterior maxillary segmental distraction osteogenesis(AMSDO)in treating sagittal maxillary hypoplasia in cleft lip and palate(CLP)patients and to report a 3D-printed surgical guide to facilitate the osteotomy.Methods·Twelve patients with CLP who underwent AMSDO were included in this study.Virtual osteotomy was performed in a 3-dimensional model and the osteotomy line were fabricated into a tooth-borne surgical guide by using 3D-printing technique.Lateral cephalograms taken before surgery(T0),at the end of consolidation(T1)and six months after consolidation(T2)were used to evaluate the effects of AMSDO.The accuracy of the osteotomy guide was measured by superimposing the postoperative CT data to virtual planning.Results·All the patients went through surgery without serious complications.SNA and overjet changed significantly both from T0 to T1 and from T0 to T2.ANB,facial convexity,and palatal length changed without significance from T0 to T1 and from T0 to T2.SNB remained stable.All the variables remained relatively stable from T1 to T2.The anteroposterior linear root-mean-square deviation(RMSD)between planning and actual results was 0.90 mm,while the angular RMSD in the sagittal plane was 5.07°.Conclusion·AMSDO is an effective treatment for maxillary hypoplasia secondary to CLP.The accuracy of this 3D-printed osteotomy guide is clinically acceptable,and this can simplify the surgery with fewer complications.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in the central nervous system is the most lethal advanced glioma and currently there is no effective treatment for it. Studies of sinomenine, an alkaloid from the Chinese medicinal plant,

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive primary tumor in the central nervous system, accounting for 12%-15% of all brain tumors. 3--Acetyl-11-keto--boswellic acid (AKBA), one of the most active ingredients of gum resin from Birdw., was reported to inhibit the growth of glioblastoma cells and subcutaneous glioblastoma. However, whether AKBA has antitumor effects on orthotopic glioblastoma and the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. An orthotopic mouse model was used to evaluate the anti-glioblastoma effects of AKBA. The effects of AKBA on tumor growth were evaluated using MRI. The effects on the alteration of metabolic landscape were detected by MALDI-MSI. The underlying mechanisms of autophagy reducing by AKBA treatment were determined by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence, respectively. Transmission electron microscope was used to check morphology of cells treated by AKBA. Our results showed that AKBA (100 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the growth of orthotopic U87-MG gliomas. Results from MALDI-MSI showed that AKBA improved the metabolic profile of mice with glioblastoma, while immunoblot assays revealed that AKBA suppressed the expression of ATG5, p62, LC3B, p-ERK/ERK, and P53, and increased the ratio of p-mTOR/mTOR. Taken together, these results suggested that the antitumor effects of AKBA were related to the normalization of aberrant metabolism in the glioblastoma and the inhibition of autophagy. AKBA could be a promising chemotherapy drug for glioblastoma.

Objective To assess the curative effect of percutem transilluminated with negative pressured on the potaried technique on the treatment of venous ulcer in lower extremity.Methods The clinical date of 300 cases involving 300 legs with venous ulcer in lower extremity,who underwent the percutum transilluminated negative pressured potaried technique using TRIVEXTM Ⅱ potaried system or the percutum transfixion surgical treatment from October 2005 to June 2009,were analyzed.Three hundred cases were randomly divided into potaried group and transfixion group.In potaried group,there were 190 cases involving 190 legs treated with TRIVEXTM Ⅱ potaried system.In transfixion group,110 cases involving 110 legs treated with percutum transfixion.The clinical indexes of skin infection rate and skin necrosis rate,shrinkage rate of wound area and skin depigmentation rate,ulcer healing rate and ulcer recurrence rate were calculated to assess the clinical curative effect on day 5,day 20,day 120 and day 360 after operation respectively.Results The rates of skin infection and skin necrosis were significantly decreased in potaried group compared with transfixion group on day 5 after operation (P0.05).Ulcer recurrence rate was remarkably lower in potaried group than that in transfixion group on day 360 (P
