Noggin is a protein secreted by human cells and belongs to the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family, which can inhibit the formation and proliferation of bone tissue. The initial research found that Noggin is mainly involved in the development of the embryonic skeletal and nervous systems in vertebrate embryos. Subsequent studies have found that Noggin also plays an important role in bone metabolism and bone mineral density regulation in adults, mainly by regulating the activities of signaling pathways such as Wnt/β-catenin, notch and hedgehog. Meanwhile, there is also a certain mutual influence among various channels. This article mainly reviews the relevant research on the regulation of osteoporosis by Noggin in signaling pathways, clarifies the related mechanism of Noggin in various signaling pathways, and analyzes the current research status and prospects of Noggin.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and interventions associated with drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room.Methods:Bases on the adverse drug reaction database from the emergency medicine center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, clinical data of patients who experienced drug-induced anaphylaxis in the emergency infusion room between November 2019 and November 2023 were collected, including gender, age, history of previous adverse drug reactions, allergy history, Charlson comorbidity index, medication details, information related to drug-induced anaphylaxis (onset time, clinical manifestations), interventions, outcomes, and follow-up. The clinical characteristics and interventions in these patients were analyzed.Results:During the study period, a total of 398 772 patients in the emergency infusion room in our hospital received intravenous infusion of drugs. Of them, 625 cases developed adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and 75 cases developed drug-induced anaphylaxis, accounting for 0.02% (75/398 772) of the total infusion patients and 12.0% (75/625) of all ADR cases. Of the 75 patients with anaphylaxis, 30 cases (40%) were classified as grade Ⅱ, and 45 cases (60%) as grade Ⅲ, with no grade Ⅳ cases. The most common drugs involved in 75 cases of anaphylaxis were anti-infective drugs (41 cases, 54.7%). Drug-induced anaphylaxis exhibited diverse clinical manifestations, with cardiovascular symptoms being the most common, primarily varying degrees of transient hypotension (67 cases, 89.3%), followed by systemic and neurological symptoms, including profuse sweating (31 cases, 41.3%) and dizziness (28 cases, 37.3%). All 75 patients with anaphylaxis were treated with measures such as discontinuation of medication, replacement of infusion sets, rapid assessment of circulation and respiration, and monitoring of vital signs, of which 65 (86.7%) received rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, 6 (8.0%) received intravenous injection of glucocorticoids, 3 (4.0%) received intramuscular injection of 0.5 mg epinephrine, and 2 (2.7%) received antihistamines. All 75 patients showed improvement in symptoms, and no sequelae or deaths were found.Conclusions:In the emergency infusion room, the severity of anaphylaxis is mainly grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ with a good prognosis after timely intervention. The treatment measures mainly focus on rapid intravenous infusion for volume expansion, and the use of epinephrine is relatively low.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of adverse reactions induced by levofloxacin in the emergency infusion unit.Methods:The study was designed as a single center prospective cohort study. Data of adverse drug reaction (ADR) in the Infusion Unit of Emergency Medicine Center of First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University was managed, recorded and collected according to the pre-formulated "emergency infusion unit drug adverse reaction management process" and "strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology (STROBE)". The incidence, severity, clinical characteristics, intervention measures, outcomes, and follow-up of adverse reactions induced by levofloxacin from November 2019 to October 2022 was summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 426 cases of ADR occurred within the set time period, of which 62 (14.55%) were related to levofloxacin, involving 27 males (43.55%) and 35 females (56.45%) with a median age of 39 years. Among the 62 levofloxacin-related ADRs, 96.77% (60/62) occurred within 2 hours of intravenous infusion of levofloxacin; the severity of 44 (70.97%), 10 (16.13%) and 8 (12.90%) cases of ADRs was classified as grade 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and no grade 4 ADRs occurred. The most common clinical symptoms were skin and mucosa reactions, including rash and itching, followed by cardiovascular system and nervous system manifestations, including hypotension, palpitation, and dizziness. The skin and mucosa manifestations were more common in patients with severity grade 1 ADRs, while the cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory nervous system and systemic manifestations were more common in those with severity grade 2 and 3 ADRs; the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). After the occurrence of ADRs, levofloxacin was withdrawn in all the 62 patients, the infusion set was replaced, and infusion of 0.9% sodium chloride injection were used to flush the tube. Additionally, 24 patients (38.71%) were given drug intervention, including epinephrine in 2 patients. After the above intervention, the symptoms of all patients were relieved, with a median response time of 49 minutes. Conclusions:Levofloxacin was one of the common drugs causing ADR in the emergency infusion unit. The clinical manifestations were mainly rashes and itching, most of which were mild in severity. Timely discontinuation of levofloxacin and drug interventions often help get a good prognosis. However, the treatment procedure of severe ADRs remain to be standardized.

Objective:To explore the effects of different ankle pump exercises on femoral vein hemodynamics and lower limb fatigue in healthy adults.Methods:From January to June 2021, 30 healthy adults who met the enrollment conditions in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University were selected by convenient sampling as the research subject. Using a prospective self-contrast method, the effects of resting state, ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion on femoral vein blood flow in lower limbs were investigated by Doppler ultrasound. Then the subjects received two kinds of ankle exercises, the traditional method was dorsiflexion 10 s relaxation 5 s, plantar flexion 10 s relaxation 5 s; the modified method was dorsiflexion 1 s relaxation 1 s, plantar flexion 1 s relaxation 1 s. The hemodynamics of subjects were measured immediately after 5 min of exercise, 5 min of rest after exercise and 10 min of rest after exercise. And the subjective sensory fatigue scores of the subjects for different exercise modes were evaluated when the exercise lasts for 1, 3 and 5 minutes.Results:Compared with the rest state, the peak velocity, average flow velocity and blood flow of femoral vein in ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion were increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Compared with plantar flexion, the peak velocity, average flow velocity and blood flow of femoral vein during ankle dorsiflexion were statistically increased ( P<0.05) . There was no statistical difference in peak velocity and average velocity of femoral vein blood flow between the two ankle pump exercises at different time points ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference in the scores of subjective sensory fatigue after 1 and 3 min of two kinds of exercise ( P>0.05) , but the scores of subjective sensory fatigue after 5 min of traditional exercise were higher than those of modified exercise with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The effect time of ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion on femoral vein blood flow velocity in healthy adults is 1 to 2 seconds. The rhythms of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion of ankle pump exercise in unit time are suggested to be 1 s, which is simpler and easier than the traditional exercise. We should instruct the patient to increase the number of ankle pump exercises every day for 5 minutes or within the patient's tolerance.

Objective:To explore the effect of therapeutic communication on infusion safety, disease uncertainty, coping styles, anxiety and depression in patients with emergency infusion.Methods:A total of 126 patients treated with infusion patients in emergency department in Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July 2019 to December 2019 were selected and divided into two groups by random digits table method with 63 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing, and patients in the intervention group received therapeutic communication nursing intervention on this basis. The incidence of adverse events of infusion during the intervention of the two groups of patients was observed. The disease uncertainty, coping styles, anxiety and depression were evaluated by Mishel's Uncertainty in Illness Scale (MUIS), Medical Coping Mode Questionnaire (MCMQ), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depressive Scale (SDS) before and after intervention.Results:The final collection of 109 patients with complete questionnaire, the recovery rate was 86.51% (109/126), including 55 cases in the intervention group, 54 cases in the control group. The incidence of adverse events of infusion was 16.36%(9/55) in the intervention group and 29.63%(16/54) in the control group, and there was significant difference( χ2 value was 5.057, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the score of MUIS, MCMQ, SAS, SDS before the intervention between the two groups ( P>0.05). After the intervention, the uncertainty, unpredictability, lack of information and complexity dimension of the intervention group patients' MUIS scores were respectively (17.76 ± 2.49), (12.03 ± 2.51), (11.82 ± 2.12), (11.74 ± 2.24), which were lower than those in the control group (24.72 ± 2.94), (16.31 ± 2.27), (16.13 ± 2.51), (15.39 ± 2.31), the differences were significant( t values were -13.346- -8.375, P<0.05). The confront score of the intervention group patients' MCMQ was (19.13 ± 2.62) higher than that in the control group(13.79 ± 1.96), the avoidance and yield scores were respectively (8.71 ± 1.34), (9.81 ± 1.17), which were lower than those in the control group (14.57 ± 1.93), (15.12 ± 1.86), the differences were significant( t values were 12.031, -18.441, -17.875, P<0.05). The scores of SAS and SDS in the intervention group were (29.43 ± 3.62), (27.67 ± 3.11) respectively, which were lower than those in the control group (37.44 ± 5.31), (40.12 ± 4.92), the differences were significant( t values were -9.216, -15.821, P<0.05). Conclusions:Therapeutic communication can reduce the risk of emergency infusion, reduce the uncertainty of patients to the disease, improve patients' countermeasures to the disease, relieve patients' anxiety and depression, and improve the nursing quality of emergency infusion patients.

Objective:To discuss the effect of improved supine position on the prevention of pressure injuries of emergency patients under observation and their comfort levels.Methods:A total of 114 patients in our Emergency Observation Ward were randomly divided into the intervention group and control group, 57 patients in each. Patients in the control group were treated with routine supine position and pressure injury prevention nursing; while patients in the intervention group were treated with improved supine position nursing intervention. Then, the incidence of pressure injury, its risk score and its comfort evaluation were compared between patients under observation in the two groups.Results:The incidence of pressure injury of the intervention group was obviously lower than that in the control group ( Z value was -2.426, P<0.05). The scores of sensation, humidity, activity, friction and shear force of patients in the intervention group were 3.36 ± 0.59, 2.92 ± 0.47, 3.21 ± 0.52 and 2.61 ± 0.29 respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group, specifically 2.87 ± 0.51, 2.24 ± 0.38, 2.76 ± 0.44 and 2.04 ± 0.32. The difference was statistically significant ( t value was 4.74-9.96, P<0.01). In addition, the scores of the physiological and psychological comfort level of patients in the prevention group were 15.41±2.49 and 27.26 ± 3.42 respectively, which were significantly higher than 11.01±1.97 and 22.14± 3.23 in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( t value was 10.46, 8.21, P<0.05). Conclusions:The improved supine position nursing method can effectively lower the occurrence of pressure injury in emergency patients under observation and enhance patients’ comfort degree. Therefore, it is applicable to emergency patients under observation.

Objective:
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the modified Stoppa approach in the surgical treatment of pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures.
Methods:
Between April 2014 and April 2017, a total of 14 patients were treated by open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) through the modified Stoppa approach at Department of Orthopaedics, Foshan Gaoming Hospital for pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures. They were 10 men and 4 women, with an average age of 36.4 years (from 23 to 57 years). The modified Stoppa approach was used exclusively in 4 cases, in combination with the iliac fossa approach in 3 ones, in combination with the Kocher-Langenbeck approach in 4 ones and in combination with the Kocher-Langenbeck and iliac fossa approaches in 3 ones. In all the patients, the pelvic reconstructive plate and screws and lag screws were used. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative fracture reduction, fracture union time, efficacy and complications were recorded.
Results:
The operation time averaged 170 min (from 110 to 330 min) and the intraoperative bleeding 420 mL (from 240 to 1 100 mL). There were no operative complications. By the Matta evaluation, the postoperative reduction was rated as excellent in the 14 pelvic fractures and 9 acetabular both-column fractures and as good in 5 acetabular both-column fractures. Of this series, 13 patients were followed up for an average of 19 months (from 12 to 29 months) and one was lost to the follow-up. The fractures got united after an average time of 3.4 months (from 2.7 to 4.6 months). Screw loosening was observed in one case and mild limitation to hip flexion in one. Follow-ups found no lateral ventral syndrome or femoral head necrosis. Their Harris hip scores at the last follow-up ranged from 70 to 94 points, averaging 84 points. The function of the affected hip was excellent in 6 cases, good in 5 and fair in 2.
Conclusion
The modified Stoppa approach may be used exclusively or in combination with other approaches to treat effectively the pelvic fractures of Tile type C combined with acetabular both-column fractures, leading to good short-term clinical outcomes.
