Objective To investigate the post-discharge exercise behavior and factors influencing moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in patients undergoing lung surgery. Methods A total of 2874 patients from the large prospective, observational perioperative lung symptom study cohort (CN-PRO-Lung 3) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between April 7, 2021, and January 31, 2024, were selected as the survey subjects. A survey was conducted using the Investigation of Exercise Behavior after Lung Surgery questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) among patients who underwent lung surgery. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients’ engagement in MVPA. Results A total of 702 patients were surveyed, including 252 males and 450 females, with an average age of (52.4±10.2) years. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 85.9%. Only 36.0% of the patients had regular exercise habits, while 42.3% did not engage in any physical activity. The three main barriers for postoperative exercise were physical discomfort (pain, coughing, shortness of breath, etc, 54.7%), lack of professional guidance (41.7%), and concerns about the surgical wound (28.9%). The proportions of patients engaging in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity physical activity were 5.7%, 28.2%, and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a personal annual income ≥50000 yuan (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.01-2.29, P=0.044), high school education or above (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.33-2.76, P<0.001), and lobectomy (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.02-2.03, P=0.037) engaged in more MVPA. Conclusion Patients undergoing lung surgery have inadequate physical activity after discharge, particularly lacking in MVPA. Patients with higher income, higher educational levels, and lobectomy are more frequently engaged in MVPA. Measures such as symptom control, providing exercise guidance, and enhancing education on wound care may potentially improve the inadequate physical activity in lung surgery patients after discharge.

AIM:To evaluate visual outcomes and visual function in nonamblyopic adults with myopic anisometropia treated with small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).METHODS:Prospective comparative cohort study. The consecutive patients who underwent SMILE for the treatment of myopia or myopic astigmatism at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center(Guangzhou, China)between October 2015 and January 2016 were included. They were divided into two groups based on the bilateral difference of a spherical equivalent(SE)refraction ≥1.50 D: the anisometropic myopia group(interocular SE difference ≥1.50 D)and non-anisometropic myopia group(interocular SE difference<1.50 D). Refractive status, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity(UDVA and CDVA), and visual function parameters including fusional vergence amplitude, stereoacuity and horizontal phoria were measured preoperatively and at 1 wk,1,3 and 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS:A total of 49 cases(98 eyes)were included in the study, and 19 cases(38 eyes)in the anisometropic group, including 11 males and 8 females, with a mean age of 25.4±6.2 y, and 30 cases(60 eyes)in the non-anisometropic myopia group, including 19 males and 11 females, with a mean age of 26.8±4.6 y. The CDVA of the non-anisometropia group was significantly better than that of the anisometropia group 6 mo postoperatively(P=0.036). However, the safety and efficacy indexes of the two groups did not show significant differences. The fusional vergence(break point and recovery point)of the anisometropia group decreased(P=0.005 and P=0.03)and was significantly lower than that in the non-anisometropia group at 6 mo post operatively(P=0.029 and P=0.046). Both groups showed a significant improvement in distance and near stereopsis at 1, 3 and 6 mo in comparison with the preoperative baseline and 1 wk postoperatively(all P<0.05). No clinically significant change in the amount of ocular alignment in terms of distance and near deviation postoperatively in either groups.CONCLUSION: SMILE is a predictable, effective, and safe method for correcting myopic anisometropia in adults without amblyopia. Although the fusional vergence amplitudes changed, stereopsis can be improved after surgery.

Objective To introduce the calculation of the DISO index in multi-dimensional data ranking for disease surveillance, and evaluate its applicability. Methods Using the data from the quality supervision and inspection of infectious disease reporting in Jingzhou City in a certain year as an example, the DISO index was used to rank 16 investigated medical institutions and compared with the TOPSIS method. The consistency between the two evaluation results was analyzed using Spearman correlation. Then, The DISO index from different medical institutions was used to evaluate the ranking of 8 counties (cities, districts). The evaluation indicators for the supervision and inspection included six items: report rate, timely report rate, completeness of report card filling, accuracy of report card filling, consistency rate with network information report, and completeness of valid ID number filling. Results Among the 16 medical institutions, 8 institutions had all six evaluation indicators at 100%. Using the two methods to rank the 16 medical institutions, the two methods showed that the 8 medical institutions with all six evaluation indicators at 100% were ranked first. There was a strong correlation between the rankings of the 16 medical institutions using the two methods (rs=0.992, P=0.000). The three counties (cities, districts) with all six evaluation indicators at 100% were all ranked first, while country G was ranked seventh and country E was ranked eighth. Conclusion The results of the DISO index and the TOPSIS method were similar in one-dimensional ranking. DISO can be used for multi-dimensional ranking of disease surveillance data and deserves to be promoted and applied.

Objective:To analyze the results of national external quality assessment (EQA) for transfusion compatibility test in 2023, and provide reference for quality management of clinical transfusion compatibility testing.Methods:The EQA of clinical transfusion compatibility testing by NCCL was performed 3 times in 2023 among included laboratories. The panel consisting of 22 samples was distributed to 4 186 laboratories across 31 provinces (Including 2 961 tertiary hospital laboratories, 1 085 secondary hospital laboratories, 23 primary hospital laboratories, 106 blood station laboratories and 11 independent clinical laboratories). Each panel contains 11 red blood cell and 11 plasma samples per 1.5 ml/tube. Each participant laboratory of the EQA program was required to carry out the detection and return results in expected time. Statistical analysis and evaluation on the reported results were conducted by NCCL from the aspects of regional distribution, laboratory grading, testing methodology, reagent and testing system usage.Results:The qualification rates of EQA for five items including ABO positive typing, ABO reverse typing, RhD blood type, antibody screening, and cross matching were 96.68%, 95.10%, 96.46%, 95.32%, and 91.04%, respectively. The EQA qualification rate of tertiary hospital laboratories was 87.77% (2 599/2 961), which was significantly higher than the 77.79% (844/1 085) of secondary hospital laboratories. There were significant differences in the qualification rate of participating laboratories among different regions. The utilization rates of micro column agglutination method in ABO positive typing, ABO reverse typing, RhD blood type, antibody screening, and cross matching were 80.81% (10 080/12 474), 75.06% (9 337/12 440), 81.38% (10 118/12 433), 89.59% (11 104/12 394) and 76.25% (9 495/12 453), respectively. The qualification rate of micro column agglutination method was significantly higher than that of saline slide method in ABO positive typing detection ( P<0.05). The qualification rate of micro column agglutination method was significantly higher than that of the polyamine method and anti-human globulin test tube method in antibody screening ( P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in qualification rate of 7 reagents in ABO reverse typing, antibody screening and cross matching ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the qualification rate between the two detection systems for other reagents, except for the ABO reverse typing where the qualification rate of reagent 1 in a single system was higher than that in a mixed system ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The testing capabilities of clinical laboratories in different regions and different type varied significantly in China. Micro column agglutination method was the most popular selection in transfusion compatibility testing. The regents used in these laboratories showed good performance. However, the detection efficiency of some reagents still need to be improved. EQA could be used to evaluate, monitor, and improve the quality of testing.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Objective:To investigate the gene detection results of 2 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) caused by complex heterozygous variation, and to clarify the relationship between clinical manifestations and gene variation.Methods:Two patients (patient 1 and 2) with FH who visited Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University in 2018 were selected as research subjects. A retrospective study method was used to collect clinical and family history data of the two patients. And 2 mL of peripheral venous blood from each of the two patients was collected, and genomic DNA extraction was performed on the blood samples. Sanger sequencing was used to validate the variant sites of the two patients detected by whole-exome sequencing (WES). Pathogenicity of variants was classified based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) Standards and Guidelines for the Classification of Genetic Variants (hereinafter referred to as the " ACMG Guidelines" ), and the impact of variant was analyzed using multiple bioinformatics tools including SIFT, PolyPhen-2, and SWISS-MODEL. This study has been approved by Beijing Anzhen Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University (Ethics No. 2024215X).Results:Patient 1 initially presented with early-onset coronary heart disease, with initial lipid levels of serum total cholesterol (TC) 9.86 mmol/L (normal reference value: 3.10~5.20 mmol/L) and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) 8.37 mmol/L (normal reference value: 1.27~3.12 mmol/L) on admission. Patient 1 initially underwent treatment with rosuvastatin combined with ezetimibe for one month, but the lipid-lowering effect was not significant. The lipid-lowering therapy was then adjusted to atorvastatin combined with ezetimibe and probucol. After one year of treatment, the patient developed paroxysmal chest pain symptoms. A follow-up lipid profile showed a serum TC level of 4.50 mmol/L and a LDL-C level of 3.55 mmol/L. The lipid-lowering regimen was continued, and the serum LDL-C levels were maintained between 2.65 and 3.66 mmol/L. Patient 2 was found to have an abnormally high blood lipid level and carotid artery hardening during physical examination, with an initial blood lipid level of serum TC 11.82 mmol/L and serum LDL-C 9.63 mmol/L. After receiving rosuvastatain therapy, the lipid-lowering effect was significant. WES revealed that patient 1 carried the heterozygous variants c. 1871_1873del(p.Ile624del) and c. 1747C>T(p.His583Tyr) in the LDLR gene (NM_000527.4), while patient 2 carried the heterozygous variants c. 1747C>T(p.His583Tyr) in the LDLR gene and c. 6936_6937inv(p.Ile2313Val) in the APOB gene (NM_000384). According to the ACMG Guidelines, the LDLR gene c. 1747C>T(p.His583Tyr) was classified as a pathogenic variant (PS3+ PM1+ PM2_supporting+ PM5+ PP2+ PP3), and c. 1871_1873del(p.Ile624del) was classified as a pathogenic variant (PS3+ PS4+ PM2_supporting+ PM1+ PM4); the APOB gene c. 6936_6937inv(p.Ile2313Val) was classified as a variant of uncertain clinical significance (PM2_supporting BP4). Conclusions:Patients 1 and 2 in this study were patients with complex heterozygous variant FH, and their genotypic differences may be related to the differences in clinical serum LDL-C levels and the efficacy of hypolipidemic agents.

Objective:To develop a nomogram model utilizing serological indicators for predicting in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)in elderly patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome(ACS).Methods:This study involved a retrospective analysis of clinical data from 1, 818 elderly patients with ACS who were treated at the First Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army from January 2022 to May 2024.The patients were randomly assigned to a training set(1, 272 cases)and a validation set(546 cases)in a 7: 3 ratio.Following a comparison of the two groups, the training set was further categorized into non-MACE and MACE groups based on the occurrence of endpoint events.Univariate analysis, Lasso regression, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were sequentially employed to identify factors influencing in-hospital MACE and to construct the nomogram model.The performance of the model was assessed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves, calibration curves, and decision curves.Results:Among the 1, 818 ACS patients, the mean age was 67 years(interquartile range: 61.0 to 73.0), with 70.4% being male.Almost all indicators(except platelet count)exhibited no statistically significant differences between the training and validation sets(all P>0.05).However, statistically significant differences(all P<0.05)were observed in age, body mass index, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, white blood cell count, hemoglobin, red blood cell distribution width, mean platelet volume, C-reactive protein(CRP), fibrinogen, D-dimer, albumin, direct bilirubin, troponin T(TnT), fasting blood glucose(FBG), estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), uric acid, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)between the non-MACE and MACE groups in the training set.Ultimately, seven variables—neutrophil count, hemoglobin, red blood cell distribution width, CRP, TnT, FBG, and NT-proBNP—were selected to construct the nomogram model.The model demonstrated high discrimination in both the training and validation sets, with an area under the curve of 0.86(95% CI: 0.82-0.90)for the training set and 0.85(95% CI: 0.81-0.90)for the validation set.Furthermore, the calibration curves for both cohorts indicated a close agreement between predicted and actual risk estimates, suggesting improved model calibration.Decision curve analysis indicated that the predictive model has notable clinical utility. Conclusions:The constructed nomogram enhances the accuracy of predicting in-hospital MACE in elderly patients with ACS, thereby offering a valuable reference for clinical practice.
