Objective:To investigate the value of triglyceride glucose index(TyG)and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein choles-terol ratio(MHR)in the diagnosis of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)complicated by heart fail-ure(HF),as well as the correlation of TyG and MHR with cardiac function in AECOPD patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 298 AECOPD patients who were admitted to The First Hospital of Lanzhou University from January 2020 to December 2021,and according to the clinical manifestation,B-type natriuretic peptide/N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor,and echocardiography,the 298 AECOPD patients were divided into HF group with 127 patients and non-HF group with 171 patients.Related clinical indicators were compared between the two groups,and a regression analysis was used to identify the pos-sible risk factors for HF in AECOPD patients.The receiver operat-ing characteristic(ROC)curve analysis was used to investigate the value of TyG and MHR alone or in combination in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF,and a correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation of TyG and MHR with cardiac function parameters(ejection fraction,ventricular wall thickness,cardiac chamber size,and valve regurgitation velocity)and pulmonary artery pressure in AECOPD patients.Results:The binary logistic regres-sion analysis showed that fasting blood glucose,absolute monocyte count,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),arrhythmia,TyG,and MHR were independent risk factors for HF in AECOPD patients,and the HF group had significantly higher levels of TyG and MHR than the non-HF group(P<0.001).TyG had an area under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.805(95%CI=0.754-0.856,P<0.001)in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF,and MHR had an AUC of 0.762(95%CI=0.707-0.817,P<0.001),while TyG combined with MHR had an AUC of 0.870(95%CI=0.828-0.912,P<0.001).The correlation analysis showed that TyG was negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening and was positively correlated with end-diastolic interven-tricular septal thickness,mitral regurgitation velocity,and left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness,while MHR was nega-tively correlated with left ventricular stroke volume and left ventricular fractional shortening and was positively correlated with end-diastolic interventricular septal thickness,right ventricular anteroposterior diameter,right ventricular superior-inferior diameter,right ventricular transverse diameter,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,left ventricular end-diastolic posterior wall thickness,and pulmonary artery pressure.Conclusion:Fasting blood glucose,absolute monocyte count,HDL-C,arrhythmia,TyG,and MHR are independent risk factors for AECOPD complicated by HF.Both TyG and MHR have a certain value in the diagnosis of HF,and the combination of TyG and MHR has a better efficacy than each indicator alone in the diagnosis of AECOPD complicated by HF.TyG is correlated with the cardiac function parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction,ventricular wall thickness,and mitral regurgitation velocity in patients with AECOPD and may have a stronger correlation with the left ventricle;MHR is correlated with right ventricular chamber size,tricuspid regurgitation velocity,and pulmonary artery pressure and may have a stronger correlation with the right ventricle.

Objective:To translate the English version of the Attitude Tool of Delirium (ATOD) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of its application in Chinese nurses, and to provide an assessment tool for assessing nurses ′ attitudes towards delirium patients. Methods:After obtaining authorization from the source scale developer, the English version of the ATOD scale was translated, back-translated, expert-consulte, pre-surveyed and cross-culturally adapted according to the Brislin translation model. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 298 nurses with experience in caring for patients with delirium in three tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province using a convenience sampling method. The critical ratio value and correlation coefficient were used to analyze the scale items. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the structural validity of the scale, and experts were invited to evaluate the content validity of the scale. Cronbach α coefficient and test-retest reliability were used to evaluate the reliability of the scale. Results:The Chinese version of the ATOD scale contains 3 dimensions of cognitive attitudes, behavioral attitudes, and emotional attitudes toward patients with delirium, with a total of 23 entries. The Cronbach α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.896, with each dimension′s Cronbach α coefficient ranging from 0.614 to 0.912. The retest reliability of the scale was 0.868, with each dimension ′s retest reliability ranging from 0.603 to 0.927. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three eigenvalues with common factors greater than 1, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.812%. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the ATOD scale has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an evaluation tool for evaluating nurses ′ attitudes towards delirium patients in China, so as to provide an effective basis for the formulation of corresponding interventions.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital heart disease characterized by mitral and(or)aortic valve stenosis or atresia,leading to the hypoplasia of the left ventricle,ascending aorta and aortic arch.If not treated in time,most children die within a few weeks after birth.Congenital complete atrioventricular block is a rare congenital cardiac conduction disorder.When combined with severe cardiac malformations,the mortality rate is extremely high.In this case,a 26-year-old pregnant woman with a history of 3 pregnancies and 1 delivery,had a natural conception with monochorionic diamniotic twins. At 22 +5 weeks of gestation,it was first found that one of the twins had hypoplastic left heart syndrome with congenital complete atrioventricular block through fetal echocardiography detection.This situation was extremely rare,and there was a lack of clinical guidelines on how to manage the pregnancy and determine the time of delivery time.In this case,prenatal ultrasound was used to monitor and comprehensively evaluate fetal cardiac function through the cerebroplacental ratio(CPR)combined with the cardiovascular overall performance score(CVPS).Pregnancy safety management was implemented,and a cesarean section was performed at an elective time.Another healthy fetus did not suffer any adverse effects. This case provides strong evidence for ensuring the safety of healthy fetus and mother in perinatal period.It is also confirmed that CPR and CVPS combined evaluation of fetal cardiac function and pregnancy outcome will be more accurate and comprehensive.This method is simple,accurate,non-invasive,and can be used as an effective method for clinical evaluation of fetal cardiac function.

Objective:To analyze the time to reach full enteral feedings (TFEF) among preterm infants with gestational age (GA)<32 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN).Methods:This was a retrospective analysis based on the database from the CHNN 89 participating centers between January 1 st, 2019 and December 31 st, 2022. All 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks and a birth weight <1 500 g, admitted to the NICU within 24 h after birth, hospitalization for at least 7 d and achieved full enteral feedings before discharge were included. According to the birth weight, these infants were divided into extremely low birth weight (ELBW) group and very low birth weight (VLBW) group. The practice characteristics of TFEF across different GA, the severity of neonatal admission, the NICU interventions before reaching full enteral feeding, and relevant neonatal diseases were described. Mann-Whitney U tests or Kruskal-Wallis H tests was used for comparison between groups. Results:Among the 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks, 8 505 case (52.6%) were male. The TFEF in 3 374 cases of ELBW groups was 32 (22, 46) d, 351 cases (10.4%) with TFEF ≤2 weeks, 1 050 cases (31.1%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, 964 cases (28.6%) with TFEF >4-6 weeks, and 1 009 cases (29.9%) with TFEF >6 weeks. The TFEF in 12 781 cases of VLBW group was 22 (15, 32) d, 439 cases (3.4%) with TFEF ≤1 week, 2 565 cases (20.1%) with TFEF >1-2 weeks, 5 526 cases (43.2%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, and 4 251 cases (33.3%) with TFEF >4 weeks. The TFEF was 36(23, 52) d of 625 preterm infants at a GA ≤25 weeks and 20 (13, 28) d of 2 606 preterm infants at a GA 31 weeks. Inborn infants had a shorter TFEF than those outborn infants and the infants with breast-fed achieved shorter than formula and mixed feeding both in ELBW and VLBW groups (all P<0.001). The earlier enteral feeding started, the shorter TFEF will be both in ELBW and VLBW groups (both P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants who were treated before full enteral feeding like peripherally inserted central catheters, and blood transfusions and blood product providers were all longer than those who were not treated (all P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants with complications like hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, late onset sepsis, severe retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were all longer than those without (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The distribution of TFEF in VLBW and ELBW has a large difference. The TFEF of preterm infants varies with different GA, treatment measures and complications. Further quality improvement is required to shorten TFEF.
