OBJECTIVE:
To explore the relationship between the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) and cognitive function.
METHODS:
A cross-sectional study method was conducted. People aged ≥ 60 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) databases from 1999 to 2002 and 2011 to 2014 were included as study subjects. The participants were divided into three groups based on their GNRI scores: a medium-high risk group (82 ≤ GNRI < 92), a low risk group (92 ≤ GNRI < 98), and a no-risk group (GNRI ≥ 98). Demographic characteristics (gender, age, race, education), chronic diseases [chronic bronchitis, emphysema, thyroid problems, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and depression score on the patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9)], lifestyle habits (history of smoking, hours of sleep), etc., were collected. Cognitive function was assessed using the consortium to establish a registry for Alzheimer's disease word learning subtest (CERAD-WL), animal fluency test (AFT), and digit symbol substitution test (DSST) for the 2011-2014 data, while only the DSST was used for the 1999-2002 data. Differences in the above information among the GNRI cohorts were compared. Factors affecting cognitive function in the population were analyzed using multifactorial Logistic regression.
RESULTS:
2 653 participants from 2011 to 2014 and 2 380 participants from 1999 to 2002 were enrolled, with a total of 5 033 participants in the study. There were statistically significant differences in age, stroke, diabetes mellitus, DSST score, AFT score, CERAD score test 1 recall (Cst1), and CERAD score test 2 recall (Cst2) among the GNRI groups. Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis of data from 2011 to 2014 showed that in model 3 (DSST score, age, gender, race, marriage, education, hours of sleep, history of smoking, emphysema, thyroid problems, chronic bronchitis, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, depression score on the PHQ-9, and stroke) adjusted for all covariates, GNRI was a protective factor for DSST [odds ratio (OR) = 1.03, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.00 to 1.05, P = 0.03]; Logistic regression analyse for 1999 to 2002 and 2011 to 2014 showed a significant association even after adjustment for covariates (OR = 1.02, 95%CI was 1.00 to 1.03, P = 0.02). Subgroup Logistic regression analyses of the total population from 2011 to 2014 showed a significant association between GNRI and DSST scores (OR = 1.02, 95%CI was 1.01 to 1.03, P < 0.001), with significant associations in the age subgroups of 60 to 64 years old, across gender, non-Hispanic Whites and Blacks, by education, and by marital status associations were significant (all P < 0.05). Subgroup Logistic regression analyse of the total populations from 1999 to 2002 and 2011 to 2014 showed a significant association between the GNRI and DSST score (OR = 1.01, 95%CI was 1.01 to 1.02, P < 0.001), but did not show a significant year difference (interaction P = 0.503), and the newly found in the smoking population the association was also more significant (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
The GNRI correlates with the presence of cognitive functions related to processing speed, sustained attention, and executive function, and may be able to serve as an indicator for the assessment or prediction of related cognitive functions.

Postoperative pain seriously affects the recovery process of patients, resulting in prolonged hospital stay and increased care costs. Appropriate application of patient-controlled analgesia devices can effectively relieve perioperative acute pain. In 1994 patient-controlled analgesia began to be used in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the Acute Pain Service Working Group was established in 2004. With the cooperation of anesthesiologists and specialist nurses, the group jointly has implemented the whole process and standardized management based on patient-controlled analgesia, and constantly improved and innovated working methods, laying a solid foundation for the development of postoperative pain management. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the work from the aspects of clinical focus, nursing management experience, promotion and dissemination of pain treatment concepts, and development of acute pain service model under the new situation, with the hope of providing valuable reference for comprehensively strengthening pain management in the process of diagnosis and treatment, and enhancing patients' satisfaction with perioperative analgesia services.

Postoperative pain, a common problem in perioperative management, has negative impact on patients' experience and functional recovery. The development of postoperative pain is not only related to direct surgical trauma, but also a series of preventable perioperative risk factors, among which perioperative sleep quality should not be neglected. In recent years, more and more researches have indicated that poor perioperative sleep quality is a risk factor for both acute and chronic postoperative pain, and some researches have even pointed out that sleep quality can directly influence patients' pain threshold. Therefore, this review aims to summarize current research progress on the influence of perioperative sleep quality on postoperative pain, hoping to provide reference for improving the perioperative pain management for patients.

OBJECTIVES:
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is the current gold standard for diagnosing spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVF). However, DSA is invasive and associated with risks such as ionizing radiation and iodine contrast allergy. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) with high temporal/high spatial resolution allows dynamic multiphase contrast-enhanced imaging with excellent detail. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic value of spinal CE-MRA with high temporal/high spatial resolution for SDAVF.
METHODS:
Clinical data were retrospectively collected from patients who underwent both conventional spinal MRI and high temporal/high spatial resolution CE-MRA at Xiangya Hospital between January 1, 2021, and January 1, 2024, and who subsequently underwent DSA or surgery within 90 days. Two experienced radiologists independently reviewed all conventional MRI and CE-MRA images. The sensitivity and specificity of conventional MRI and CE-MRA for diagnosing SDAVF were calculated against the gold standard DSA findings. Kappa statistics were used to evaluate the consistency of MRI and CE-MRA compared to DSA. The diagnostic value was further assessed by calculating the area under curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC).
RESULTS:
A total of 60 patients were included, of whom 47 were diagnosed with SDAVF and 13 were not. Conventional MRI had 3 false negatives and 1 false positive; CE-MRA had 2 false positives and 0 false negative. The sensitivity and specificity of conventional MRI were 93.62% and 92.31%, respectively. CE-MRA demonstrated 100% sensitivity and 84.62% specificity. The main cause of false positives was the misidentification of posterior spinal arteries as feeding arteries. CE-MRA clearly displayed most feeding arteries, and the accuracy of fistula localization was 74.47% (35/47). Kappa values for conventional MRI and CE-MRA were 0.814 and 0.896, respectively (both P<0.001), indicating good agreement, with CE-MRA outperforming conventional MRI. The AUCs for diagnosing SDAVF were 0.930 for conventional MRI and 0.923 for CE-MRA (both P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Spinal CE-MRA with high temporal/high spatial resolution is a reliable, non-invasive imaging technique with high sensitivity for diagnosing SDAVF. It can clearly visualize feeding arteries and provides valuable preoperative diagnostic and localization information to support DSA or surgical planning.

Femoral neck fracture (FNF) in the elderly patients is currently a major health challenge worldwide, with excessive consumption of medical resources, high incidence of complications as well as suboptimal outcome and prognosis. Hip joint arthroplasty (HJA) has been the mainstream treatment for FNF in the elderly, but the conventional surgical approaches and techniques are still confronted with a series of bottlenecks such as dislocation, limp and limb length discrepancy. In recent years, direct anterior approach (DAA) for HJA (DAA-HJA) has been a major new choice in the field of joint replacement, which achieves improved clinical effectiveness of HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF, due to the fact that DAA approach involves the neuromuscular interface and accords with the idea of soft tissue retention and enhanced recovery after surgery. However, there is still a lack of unified understanding of standard technique and procedure of DAA-HJA in the treatment of elderly FNF. Therefore, relevant experts from the Hip Joint Group of Chinese Orthopedics Association of Chinese Medical Association, Youth Arthrology Group of Orthopedic Committee of PLA, Orthopedic Committee of Chongqing Medical Association, Branch of Orthopedic Surgeons of Chongqing Medical Doctor Association and Sport Medicine Committee of Chongqing Medical Association were organized to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the technical standard of direct anterior hip arthroplasty for elderly femoral neck fracture ( version 2023)" based on evidence-based medicine. This consensus mainly proposed 13 recommendations covering indications, surgical plans, prosthesis selections, surgical techniques and processes, and postoperative management of DAA-HJA in elderly patients with FNF, aiming to promote standardized, systematic and patient-specific diagnosis and treatment to improve the functional prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To analyze the time of recovery to the respiratory baseline after treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the possible influencing factors.Methods:The preterm infants with ROP who received ophthalmic treatment from January 2016 to December 2020 in the Department of Neonatology, Guangdong Women and Children′s Hospital were enrolled retrospectively.The baby who received vitreous injection were included in the injection group, and who received laser photocoagulation were included in the photocoagulation group.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they returned to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours after ROP surgery.Relevant data were collected, including respiratory baseline, the respiratory status 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours, 5 days and 7 days after treatment, gestational age, birth weight, gender, corrected gestational age at surgery, weight at surgery, laser points, and treatment location.Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for continuous variables. Data were expressed as the number and percentage of patients for categorical variables, using Chi-square test or Fisher′ s exact test. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.The time taken by preterm infants to return to the preoperative respiratory baseline after treatment and its influencing factors were analyzed. Results:A total of 386 ROP infants were included in this study.There were 157 infants who did not return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours after treatment.No significant difference in the source, gender, gestational age, birth weight, corrected gestational age at surgery, weight at surgery, and respiratory pressure support required before surgery were found between the group who returned to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours and the group who did not (all P>0.05). However, there were significant differences in treatment methods and location between two groups (all P<0.01). The ratio of returning to the respiratory baseline in the group receiving intravitreal injection was significantly different from that in the group treated with laser therapy at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and 96 h after treatment (77% vs.14%, 82% vs.33%, 86% vs.58%, 89% vs.76%; all P<0.01). There was no difference in that ratio between two groups at 5 d and 7 d after treatment (91% vs.86%, 95% vs.92%; P>0.05). Of the 157 infants who did not return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours after treatment, 108 cases (68.8%) required additional supplemental oxygen, whereas 153 cases (98.5%) required more intensive respiratory support ( P<0.001). According to the multivariate Logistic regression analysis results, the preterm infants who received laser therapy were less likely to return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours than those who received intravitreal injection ( OR=0.099, 95% CI: 0.060-0.164). A small corrected gestational age at surgery was an independent risk factor for infants not returning to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours ( OR=1.147, 95% CI: 1.009-1.302). Conclusions:Infants with ROP who receive intravitreal injection can return to the respiratory baseline more quickly than those who underwent laser photo-coagulation under. The difference persisted up to 4 days. The smaller the corrected gestational age at treatment, the less likely return to the respiratory baseline within 48 hours in photocoagulation group..

Objective To explore the current status of physician-nurse collaboration in public Class Ⅲ general hospitals and analyze its related factors so as to provide a basis and data support for pushing forward physician-nurse collaboration and improving negatively related factors. Methods From April to June 2018, totals of 465 nurses and 249 physicians form 6 public ClassⅢ general hospitals in Beijing were selected as subjects by convenience sampling and cross-sectional study. The questionnaire survey was carried out with the Chinese version of Nurse-Physician Collaboration Scale(NPCS). The related factors of physician-nurse collaboration were analyzed with the simple correlation and multiple linear regression. Results The scores of NPCS of 465 nurses and 249 physicians were(78.81±17.68)and(84.86±15.22)respectively. Simple correlation showed that there were statistical differences in the scores of NPCS among physicians and nurses with the different personnel categories,physician-nurse working relationships,physician-nurse working mode, whether to carry out clinical pathways or not and income satisfaction(P< 0.05). Multiple linear regression revealed that the related factors of physician-nurse collaboration included the physician-nurse working mode, personnel categories,income satisfaction and clinical pathways with statistical differences(P < 0.05). Conclusions Public Class Ⅲ general hospitals have good physician-nurse collaboration. However,physicians and nurses lack communication in participating the treatment and nursing decision making for patients. Managers should further deepen the reform of personnel system,implement position management and performance incentive systems,carry out the physician and nurse responsibility system and physician-nurse working mode and positively develop clinical pathways so as to promote physician-nurse collaboration.
