OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of repairing surgical defect in pharyngo-laryngeal malignant tumor with free rectus femoris flap. METHODS: The clinical data of 34 patients with surgical defects in pharyngo-laryngeal malignant tumor who met the selection criteria between July 2014 and August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 25 males and 9 females, aged 25-82 years, with a median age of 54 years. The disease duration ranged from 2 months to 2 years, with a median of 7 months. The tumor locations included the oropharynx, hypopharynx, cervical esophagus, and larynx. Pathological types included squamous cell carcinoma (29 cases), myoepithelial carcinoma (2 cases), adenoid cystic carcinoma (1 case), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (2 cases). TNM staging: 16 cases of T ₄N ₁M ₀, 3 cases of T ₄N ₂M ₀, 3 cases of T ₄N ₀M ₀, 10 cases of T ₃N ₁M ₀, and 2 cases of T ₃N ₀M ₀. The 2017 American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging was stage Ⅲ in 2 cases and stage Ⅳ in 32 cases. The blood supply of the proximal rectus femoris muscle was observed by enhanced CT of the lower limb vessels before operation, and the surgical defects ranged from 3.0 cm×2.0 cm to 12.0 cm×8.5 cm. The blood supply and perforators of rectus femoris muscle were explored during operation, and the free rectus femoris flap pedicled with the direct vascular stem of rectus femoris muscle was used to repair the defect. For the patients with pharyngeal fistula or obvious neck swelling after operation, the blood supply of the flap was analyzed by vascular enhanced CT to determine the corresponding strategies of nutritional support, anti-infection, dressing change and drainage. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were supplemented in 27 patients with lymph node metastasis after operation. RESULTS: All the 34 patients were followed up 1-10 years, with an average of 3 years. The flap was found to be necrotic by fibrolaryngoscopy at 1 week after operation in 2 cases, and the incision healed after dressing change and nutritional support, and no reoperation was performed. The flap was in good condition at 1 week after operation in 4 cases, and the signs of gradual necrosis of the flap were found within 1 month after operation, of which 2 cases were healed after dressing change, 1 case was removed the necrotic tissue by reoperation, and 1 case was healed after pectoralis major myocutaneous flap was used to repair the pharyngeal tissue defect. The flaps survived in 28 cases, including 4 cases of pharyngeal fistula, which healed by dressing change. Twenty-two cases achieved satisfactory results in swallowing or phonation. Two patients with total laryngectomy and voice reconstruction underwent reoperation to seal the voice tube because of postoperative aspiration. During the follow-up, 1 case had tracheal stomal recurrence, 2 cases had bone metastasis, and 1 case had bone and lung metastasis. CONCLUSION The free rectus femoris flap has good flexibility, the volume of the flap is easy to adjust, and the incision of the donor site is concealed, which is expected to become a new choice for the repair of the surgical defect in pharyngo-laryngeal malignant tumor.

Chinese materia medica has a wide range of clinical applications， but it has many active ingredients with different physicochemical properties， and the target organs， action pathways and mechanisms for different ingredients to exert their efficacy are not the same. Therefore， it is difficult to design and develop a co-delivery system loading multiple components of Chinese materia medica to maximize the synergistic therapeutic efficiency. Based on the characteristics of effectiveness and functionality of active ingredients， the strategies for multi-component co-delivery of Chinese materia medica can be categorized into two types：firstly， based on the effectiveness of active ingredients， new carriers such as liposomes， nanoparticles can be constructed to load multi-components of Chinese materia medica. secondly， based on the functionality of some active ingredients of Chinese materia medica， they are employed in the construction of co-delivery system， which can give play to the dual characteristics of their own efficacy and preparation functions. In this paper， we summarized the relevant research progress of the above two types of multi-component co-delivery strategies， and mainly discussed the pharmaceutical functions of the active ingredients in co-delivery systems， in order to find a more suitable multi-component co-delivery strategy， promoting the design and development of new delivery systems of Chinese materia medica.

Objective:To explore the microbiological and disease distribution characteristics of multidrug-resistant bacteria in patients hospitalized in a critical care rehabilitation ward, and to analyze the risk factors leading to multidrug-resistant bacterial infections.Methods:Microbiology screening data describing 679 patients admitted to a critical care rehabilitation ward were retrospectively analyzed to divide the subjects into a multidrug-resistant group (positive for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, n=166) and a non-multidrug-resistant group (negative for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, n=513). The risk factors were then analyzed using logistic regression. Results:Among 369 strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria observed, 329 were gram-negative bacteria (89.2%), mainly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli. They were distributed in sputum (56.9%) and mid-epidemic urine (28.2%) specimens. Patients whose primary disease was hemorrhagic or ischemic cerebrovascular disease accounted for 40.96% and 23.49% of the multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that albumin level, dependence on mechanical ventilation, central venous cannulation, or an indwelling urinary catheter or cystostomy tube were significant independent predictors of such infections.Conclusion:The multidrug-resistant bacterial infections of patients admitted to the critically ill rehabilitation unit are mainly caused by gram-negative bacteria. Their occurrence is closely related to low albumin levels and mechanical ventilation, as well as to bearing an indwelling central venous catheter, a urinary catheter or a cystostomy catheter.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the Shewhart control chart-based assessment and early warning system in prevention of medical device-related pressure injury(MDRPI).Methods:152 critically ill patients admitted to Hebei Central Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected and divided into a control group and an observation group based on different methods of assessing MDRPI risk,with 76 cases in each group.The control group adopted the Braden scale to assess the risk of MDRPI.The observation group adopted a safety early warning system based on Shewhart control charts to assess the risk of MDRPI in patients.Nursing measures were undertaken according to MDRPI risk grade in both groups.The occurrence of adverse events of MDRPI,nursing safety quality and nursing comprehensive quality were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence rate of head,neck and face adverse events of MDRPI and the total incidence of adverse events of MDRPI of the patients in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(x2=4.802,5.758,P<0.05).The safety quality and comprehensive quality of nursing of 20 nurses in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(t=6.654,7.172,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of assessment and early warning system based on Shewhart control chart in clinical nursing management can effectively reduce the incidence of MDRPI adverse events and improve the quality of nursing safety and comprehensive nursing.

【Objective】 To establish a highly sensitive detection method of platelet HPA-3 and HPA-15 genotyping by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), and to explore the feasibility of applying it to the detection of human platelet antigen (HPA) compatibility in maternal peripheral blood fetal free DNA. 【Methods】 For SNP mutation sites of HPA-3 and HPA-15, specific primers and MGB probes were designed, and amplification conditions such as annealing temperature and primer concentration of ddPCR were optimized to establish the optimal reaction system and clarify the test procedures. The methodological performance of the assay was evaluated, including specificity, sensitivity, repeatability and stability. ddPCR was used to detect 67 clinical blood samples, and the allele typing results were compared with the gene sequencing results. The fetal free DNA HPA antigen of 52 maternal peripheral blood samples was detected. 【Results】 The ddPCR method for detecting platelet HPA-3 and HPA-15 showed good specificity of primers and probes. The optimal annealing temperatures for HPA-3 and HPA-15 were 61.6℃ and 60.2℃, respectively. The optimal concentrations of primers were 900 nM and 700 nM respectively. The final concentration of the probe was 250 nM. The quantitative detection range of copy number was 2 to 20 000 copies, with lower limit of detection of 0.1 copies/μL, and the linearity is good. In low copy number samples, the intra - and inter batch coefficient of variation (CV) of actual detection values for HPA-3 and HPA-15 were both lower than 5%. The detection results of HPA-3 and HPA-15 genotypes of 67 blood samples were consistent with the gene sequencing results, and its application in fetomaternal platelet HPA-3, HPA-15 genotype detection met expectations. 【Conclusion】 The HPA-3 and HPA-15 ddPCR detection system constructed in this study has high accuracy, good repeatability, stability and sensitivity, and can be applied to the establishment of platelet HPA-3 and HPA-15 genotype donor pool, gene matching and fetomaternal platelet compatibility detection.

Objective:To explore the experience of elderly patients with diabetes after the first use of real-time continuous glucose monitoring (rt-CGM) through qualitative research.Methods:From January to December 2022, 20 elderly patients with diabetes who received rt-CGM in Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University were selected as the research object with objective sampling. Semi-structured, personalized, one-to-one in-depth interviews were used to collect data. The qualitative research content analysis method was used to summarize interview data, extract and explain the theme.Results:In this interview, a total of five themes were obtained. There were two themes before continuous glucose monitoring, namely high recognition of rt-CGM by patients and the expectation of understanding blood glucose fluctuations, which was the main purpose for patients to receive rt-CGM. After continuous glucose monitoring, there were three themes, namely, the negative emotions caused by abnormal blood glucose alarms during rt-CGM, disagreements among patients regarding the calibration method of measuring finger blood glucose four times a day during rt-CGM, and patients questioning the accuracy of rt-CGM data.Conclusions:Elderly patients with diabetes are willing to receive rt-CGM, but there are still many misunderstandings. Medical and nursing staff should develop targeted nursing strategies from various aspects such as improving patients ' psychological state, enhancing patients ' correct understanding of treatment, and strengthening standardized training for nurses, so as to increase patients ' treatment compliance and effectively control blood glucose.

Objective:To explore the independent risk factors of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in liver cirrhosis, and to establish and evaluate a risk prediction model for PVT in patients with cirrhosis.Methods:A total of 295 cases of cirrhosis hospitalized in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from December 2019 to October 2021 were divided into a modeling set ( n=207) and an internal validation set ( n=88) by the random number table. In addition, patients with cirrhosis hospitalized in Yichang Central People's Hospital, Wuhan Puren Hospital, No.2 People's Hospital of Fuyang City and People's Hospital of China Three Gorges University during the same period were collected as an external validation set ( n=92). The modeling set was divided into PVT group ( n=56) and non-PVT group ( n=151). Univariate analysis was used to preliminarily screen the related indicators of PVT, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis with forward stepwise regression was used to determine independent risk factors for PVT. A nomogram prediction model was constructed based on the independent risk factors obtained. The internal and external validation set were used to verify the predictive ability of the model. Distinction degree was used to evaluate the ability of the model to distinguish patients with or without PVT. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test was used to evaluate the consistency between predicted risk and the actual risk of the model. Results:Univariate analysis showed that smoking, history of splenectomy, trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopic variceal treatment, and levels of hemoglobin, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and D-dimer were significantly different between the PVT group and the non-PVT group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that smoking ( P=0.020, OR=31.21, 95% CI: 1.71-569.40), levels of D-dimer ( P=0.003, OR=1.12, 95% CI: 1.04-1.20) and hemoglobin ( P=0.039, OR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.97-1.00), history of TIPS ( P=0.011, OR=18.04, 95% CI: 1.92-169.90) and endoscopic variceal treatment ( P=0.001, OR=3.21, 95% CI: 1.59-6.50) were independent risk factors for PVT in patients with liver cirrhosis. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the internal validation set was 0.802 (95% CI: 0.709-0.895) ( P<0.001), and the AUC for the external validation set was 0.811 (95% CI: 0.722-0.900) ( P<0.001). Both AUC were larger than 0.75. The calibration curve of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed that the P values of both internal validation set ( χ2=3.602, P=0.891) and the external validation set ( χ2=11.025, P=0.200) were larger than 0.05. Conclusion:Smoking, history of TIPS or endoscopic variceal treatment, levels of D-dimer and hemoglobin are independent risk factors for PVT in patients with liver cirrhosis. The prediction nomogram model based on the above factors has strong predictive ability.

A case of limbic encephalitis with positive anti-leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 protein (LGI1) antibody and anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody was reported. The patient was a middle-aged male with a history of retinal vein occlusion. The main symptoms were temporal lobe epilepsy, facial arm dystonia, autonomic nerve dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging showed long T 2 signal in the right hippocampus without enhancement and normal perfusion. Electroencephalogram showed paroxysmal slow wave and sharp slow wave in interictal period. Blood anti-MOG antibody, blood and cerebrospinal fluid anti-LGI1 antibody were double positive. The main diagnosis was limbic encephalitis. After treatment with hormone and gamma globulin, the symptoms were improved and double antibodies were turned negative. Anti-LGI1/MOG double positive cases are rare, and the clinical manifestations and imaging manifestations of double positive antibody cases are not completely consistent with those with each single antibody, with different characteristics. This report can help clinicians enhance awareness.
