OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the content determination of 11 components such as protodioscin in Guge fengtong tablets， and to evaluate the comprehensive quality of Guge fengtong tablets by combining with chemometric analysis and entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution （EW-TOPSIS） method. METHODS HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column with a mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.2% phosphoric acid solution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min by gradient elution. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃ . The detection wavelengths were set at 203 nm （0-28 min， protodioscin， methyl protodioscin， pseudoprotodioscin， dioscin） and 280 nm （28-60 min， catechin， epicatechin， liquiritigenin， medicarpin， 6-gingerol， 8-gingerol， 10-gingerol）； the sample size was 10 μL. Using epicatechin as the internal reference， quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker （QAMS） method was used to determine the contents of protodioscin， methyl protodioscin， pseudoprotodioscin， dioscin， catechin， liquiritigenin， medicarpin， 6-gingerol， 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol， which were compared with the results of the external standard method. SPSS 26.0 software and SIMCA 14.1 software were used for principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis， with variable importance in projection （VIP） value greater than 1 as the standard， to screen for differential markers that affect the quality； the EW-TOPSIS method was adopted to evaluate the quality of 15 batches of samples comprehensively.RESULTS The contents of protodioscin， methyl protodioscin， pseudoprotodioscin， dioscin， catechin， liquiritigenin， medi-carpin， 6-gingerol， 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol determined by HPLC combined with QAMS were 6.330-10.863， 1.150-2.274， 0.431- 0.740， 2.818-4.823， 0.826-1.510， 0.043-0.094， 0.079-0.231， 0.479-1.020， 0.146-0.288， 0.118-0.318 mg/g， respectively； there were no statistical significances， compared with the external standard method （P＞0.05）. A total of 15 batches of samples were clustered into 3 groups， with S1-S6， S7-S10， and S11-S15 clustered into one group， respectively. The VIP values of protodioscin， epicatechin， dioscin and 6-gingerol were greater than 1. Euclidean closeness values of the optimal solution （C）i for 15 batches of samples were 0.163 5 to 0.703 7， and Ci values of S11-S15 were all higher than 0.6. CONCLUSIONS The established QAMS method is accurate and simple， and can be used for comprehensive quality evaluation of Guge fengtong tablets， by combining with chemometric analysis and EW-TOPSIS method. Protodioscin， epicatechin， dioscin and 6-gingerol are the differential markers that affect the quality of Guge fengtong tablets. Samples S11-S15 have better quality.

Objective:To explore the effect of group education intervention strategy based on harmonious nursing theory on understanding and application of pelvic floor knowledge and exercise skills in first gestation women, so as to promote the early recovery of pelvic floor function in postpartum women.Methods:This study was a quasi-experimental study. A total of 80 first gestation women in the pregnant women′s school of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected as the research objects, 40 women from April to May 2023 were involved in the control group and 40 women from June to July 2023 were involved in the intervention group. The control group was given routine health education, while the intervention group was given group educational nursing intervention based on harmonious nursing theory. The Primary Prevention of Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunction-self-care Ability Scale was used to evaluate and compare the primary prevention self-care ability of pelvic floor dysfunction among pregnancy 1-4 weeks between the two groups before and after pregnancy intervention. Pelvic floor muscle strength was measured and pelvic floor function exercise compliance was evaluated during outpatient follow-up at 42-49 days postpartum (hereinafter referred to as postpartum 42 days) to evaluate and compare the rehabilitation effect of pelvic floor skills exercise between the two groups at 42 days postpartum.Results:Finally, the control group was (29.97 ± 3.68) years old involved 38 cases, and the intervention group was (29.79 ± 3.66) years old involved 38 cases. There was no significant difference in self-care ability score of primary prevention of pelvic floor dysfunction between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After pregnancy intervention, the scores of self-care knowledge, self-care responsibility, self-care skills, self-regulation and total score of the intervention group were (58.13 ± 6.46), (11.73 ± 1.18), (10.16 ± 0.86), (29.21 ± 2.74) and (109.21 ± 8.92) points, respectively, which were higher than the control group (47.76 ± 4.25), (11.05 ± 1.09), (8.82 ± 1.78), (27.34 ± 2.18), (94.97 ± 6.46) points, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were - 8.26 - - 2.63, all P<0.05). In the intervention group, the maximum value of the fast muscle stage and the mean value of the slow muscle stage of the comparison of pelvic floor muscle strength between the two groups 42 days after delivery were 48.25(44.75, 53.45)μV and 31.00 (27.33, 34.23) μV, respectively, which were higher than the control group 36.80 (32.25, 44.28) μV and 22.40 (19.28, 25.88) μV, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( Z = - 4.98, - 5.37, both P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the average value of the pre-resting stage and the average value of the post-resting stage between the two groups ( P>0.05). Comparison of pelvic floor functional exercise compliance between the two groups showed that in the intervention group, the proportion of good compliance was 73.7% (28/38), and the proportion of general compliance was 26.3% (10/38), while in the control group, the proportion of general compliance was 86.8% (33/38) and the proportion of good compliance was 7.9% (3/38). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 34.46, P<0.01). Conclusions:Application of the theory of harmonious nursing group educational nursing intervention was carried out on the first gestation women, can effectively improve the first gestation women during pregnancy pelvic floor functional exercise primary prevention self-care ability level, strengthen puerperal women pelvic floor muscle, improve the puerperal pelvic floor functional exercise adherence, coordination and optimization of the first gestation women early for pelvic floor functional rehabilitation nursing process.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine breakthrough infections in children, and to provide reference basis for the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in children.Methods:A total of 97 children aged 3 to 14 years and diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) admitted to Xi′an People′s Hospital (Xi′an Fourth Hospital) from December 27, 2021 to February 7, 2022 were included. According to the COVID-19 vaccination status, the enrolled children were divided into unvaccinated group, partially vaccinated group and fully vaccinated group, and the clinical data of the children in the three groups were collected and compared. Chi-square test, two independent sample t-test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for statistical analysis. Results:Totally 97 children including 49 males and 48 females were enrolled, with 87(89.7%) children of mild type, 10(10.3%) children of common type, and no severe or critical case. The proportions of unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated preschool-aged children (3 to 6 years old) were 56.5%(13/23), 30.8%(12/39) and 17.1%(6/35), respectively, while those of school-aged children (7 to 14 years old) were 43.5%(10/23), 69.2%(27/39) and 82.9%(29/35), respectively. The vaccination proportion in preschool-aged children was significantly lower than that in school-age children ( χ2=9.94, P=0.007). The proportion of the children with fever in fully vaccinated group was 17.1%(6/35), which was lower than that in unvaccinated group (43.5%, 10/23), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.82, P=0.028). The cycle threshold (Ct) values of the open reading frame ( ORF)1 ab gene in the unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated groups were 33.77(26.87, 36.58), 35.23 (33.45, 38.57) and 37.12 (34.91, 39.39), respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference among the groups ( H=7.76, P=0.021). The Ct values of the nucleocapsid protein ( N) gene in the three groups were 32.26(25.85, 36.18), 35.12(33.18, 37.96) and 37.26(34.27, 39.24), respectively, and the difference among the groups was statistically significant ( H=7.84, P=0.020). The Ct values of ORF1 ab gene and N gene in fully vaccinated group were higher than those in unvaccinated group, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=-2.69, P=0.007 and Z=-2.39, P=0.017, respectively). The duration of viral shedding in fully vaccinated children was (9.9±4.1) d, which was shorter than that in unvaccinated children ((12.8±3.7) d), and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.72, P=0.009). Conclusions:The majority of children with breakthrough infections with SARS-CoV-2 are mild. Vaccination may effectively shorten the duration of viral shedding. And fully vaccination is associated with mild clinical symptoms and lower serum viral load compared to unvaccinated children.

Objective:To study the real-world outcome of China FDA-approved Sofosbuvir (SOF)/Velpatasvir (VEL) in Northwest China.Methods:In this multicenter, prospective, real-world cohort study, we recruited patients from 10 sites from Northwest China, who were chronically infected with HCV GTs 1-6 from 06/2018 to 09/2019. Patients received SOF (400mg)/VEL (100mg) for 12 weeks, and with ribavirin 900-1200 mg for GT3 cirrhosis and for any genotype decompensated cirrhosis. The primary endpoint was sustained virological response at 12-weeks post-treatment (SVR12) and safety. The secondary endpoint was the change of liver function after the achievement of SVR12.Results:Totally, 143 patients were enrolled in the study, four patients were lost to follow-up and one died during the follow-up, 138 patients were included in per-protocol analysis. Of the 138 patients, the mean age 53 years, 53.6% male, 94.2% Han nationality, 53.6% liver cirrhosis, 10.1% HBsAg +, 6.5% renal dysfunction, 5.1% treatment-experienced, and 16.7% patients received ribavirin treatment. The genotype distribution was as follows: 35.5% GT1, 42.8% GT2, 15.9% GT3, and 5.8% un-typed. The SVR12 rate was 96.5% (138/143, 95% CI: 93.5%-99.6%) for intention-to-treat analysis, and in per-protocol analysis, all 138 patients obtained SVR12 (100%). Compared with baseline, the serum total bilirubin, ALT and AFP levels decreased (all P < 0.05), as well as increased ALB and platelet count (all P < 0.001) at post-treatment 12-weeks. Overall adverse events (AEs) rate is 29.0%, and the most common AEs were anemia (14.5%) and fatigue (8.0%). Severe side effects (edema and fatigue) occurred in 2 patients, one of whom needed a short-term interruption of treatment due to fatigue. Conclusion:In this real-world cohort study, 12-week SOF/VEL regimen with or without ribavirin achieved high SVR12 rates (96.5%-100% overall) with excellent safety profile among patients with HCV GT1/2/3 infection including patients with GT3 and cirrhosis, and led to improvement of liver function.

Objective:To study the application of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) combined with out-of-hospital continuing nursing based on three-dimensional quality evaluation model in patients with ulcerative colitis, and investigate the factors influencing patients’ quality of life.Methods:All research objects were treated with HBO in Yan’an University Affiliated Hospital. The patients ( n=60) with ulcerative colitis treated from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected as the control group; while the patients ( n=60) treated from January 2019 to December 2019 were selected as the observation group. The control group received the conventional out-of-hospital continuing nursing, while the observation group received out-of-hospital continuing nursing based on three-dimensional quality evaluation model. The nursing time for both groups were three months. The negative emotions, quality of life, and self-care ability of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors affecting the quality of life were analyzed. Results:After nursing, the Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores of the two groups decreased significantly, and the observation group decreased more significantly than the control group in terms of the SAS scores (33.14±3.86 vs. 43.55±3.77) and the SDS scores (35.47±2.95 vs. 45.46±3.46), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The physical functioning ( t=2.563, P=0.012), role physical ( t=3.539, P=0.001), bodily pain ( t=2.448, P=0.016), general health ( t=5.301, P<0.001), vitality ( t=2.489, P=0.014), social functioning ( t=3.860, P<0.001), role emotional ( t=5.883, P<0.001), mental health ( t=3.729, P<0.001), and other indicators of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group. After nursing, the assessment scores of drug dependence, psychological adjustment ability, sleep quality, diet adjustment, and pain recognition in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group; the differences in quality of life assessment involving gender, education level, monthly income, marital status, mental status, exercise, lifestyle, drinking, smoking, and comorbid chronic diseases between the two groups were significant ( P<0.05); through multivariate analysis, gender, education level, monthly income, marital status, mental status, exercise, lifestyle, drinking, smoking, and comorbid chronic diseases were independent risk factors affecting the quality of life of patients. Conclusion:HBO combined with out-of-hospital continuing nursing based on three-dimensional quality evaluation model is of positive influence on the negative emotions and quality of life of patients with ulcerative colitis. And it is suggested high attention be paid to unmarried patients, and the patients with low monthly income, severe negative emotions, low education level, and chronic diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of artificial liver support therapy on the short-term (28- and 90-day) mortality rate of patients with liver failure in the plateau stage through a stratified analysis based on Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 187 patients with liver failure who were admitted to Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, from January 2015 to April 2019, with 73 patients in the artificial liver group and 114 in the non-artificial liver group. The stratified analysis based on MELD score in the plateau stage was performed to investigate the differences in 28- and 90-day mortality rates, hospital costs and length of hospital stay of surviving patients, and incidence rate of adverse reactions of artificial liver support therapy between the two groups. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between the two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. ResultsCompared with the non-artificial liver group, the artificial liver group had a significant reduction in the 28-day mortality rate of the patients with an MELD score of 30-39 (5.9% vs 39.6%, P＜0.001) or those with an MELD score of 40 (25.0% vs 72.7%, P＜0.05). Compared with the non-artificial liver group, the artificial liver group had a significant reduction in the 90-day mortality rate of the patients with an MELD score of 30-39 (23.5% vs 623%, P＜0.001). Artificial liver support therapy did not significantly shorten the mean hospital stay of the surviving patients (P＞0.05) and had no significant influence on the total hospital costs of the surviving patients within 90 days (P＞0.05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions related to artificial liver support therapy was 29.1%, but the symptoms were mild and were relieved after symptomatic treatment. ConclusionPatients with an MELD score of ＜30 in the plateau stage tend to have low 28- and 90-day mortality rates, and artificial liver support therapy can be reasonably selected according to the patient’s economic conditions and willingness. Artificial liver support therapy is recommended for patients with an MELD score of 30-39 in the plateau stage if there is no obvious contraindication. For patients with an MELD score of 40 in the plateau stage, artificial liver support therapy is recommended within 28 days if there is no obvious contraindication, and liver transplantation is recommended as soon as possible. Artificial liver support therapy has no significant influence on the total hospital costs and mean hospital stay of the surviving patients within 90 days and does not increase the economic burden of patients.

Objective To evaluate the effects of the two methods of propaganda and education, conventional training method and that combined with hand contamination survey method, on the medical and nursing staffs' hand hygiene compliance. Methods From October 2017 to April 2018, all medical and nursing staffs in 6 Departments:General Surgery Ⅰ, General Surgery Ⅱ, Orthopedics Ⅰ, Orthopedics Ⅱ, Internal Medicine Ⅰ and Internal Medicine Ⅲin Cangnan Second People's Hospital receiving health education were divided into two groups; both groups received routine training, while in the observation group, on the basis of routine training, the hand hygiene pollution investigation training mode was added, In the combined training method, when the wrong hand hygiene mode occurred, the hand specimens were collected and the correct hand washing method was instructed on the spot, and then the following hand specimens were taken to investigate the contaminated condition. One month before the training, the real situations of hand hygiene compliance in the two groups were investigated. In the 1st month after the beginning of training, both groups were cultivated by conventional propaganda and training methods. From the second month to the sixth month, the observation group was additionally trained to investigate hand hygiene pollution situation on the basis of conventional propaganda and training methods. After 6 months, the compliance rates of hand hygiene in the two groups were observed. Results Before training, there was no significant differences in the compliance rate of hand hygiene in the observation group and the routine trainning group [37.14% (52/140) vs. 36.36% (48/132), P > 0.05]. The compliance rates of hand hygiene after 1, 2, 3 months of training in the observation group were 56.61% (77/136), 60.61% (80/132) and 61.20% (82/134), respectively, and those in the routine trainning group were 56.25% (72/128), 59.26% (80/135) and 58.70% (81/138), which were all significantly higher than those before the training (all P < 0.05), but there were no statistical significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). From the 4th month to the 6th month after training, the compliance rates of hand hygiene in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the observation group [61.97% (88/142) vs. 49.23% (64/130), 62.50% (80/128) vs. 47.73% (63/132), 62.31% (81/130) vs. 46.03% (58/126)], the differences between the two groups being statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The routine training combined with hand contamination investigation survey training for consecutive 3 months can nicely promote the improvement of hand hygiene compliance of medical and nursing staffs.
