Objective:To conduct a baseline review of the best evidence for perioperative fraility management in elderly patients, construct review indicators, systematically analyze obstacle factors and promoting factors, and formulate corresponding change strategies, so as to provide reference for clinical transformation of evidence.Methods:With the Joanna Briggs Institute evidence-based health care model as the guiding framework, the best evidence of perioperative frailty-management in elderly patients was summarized, and the review indicators and review methods were formulated on the basis of the evidence. From April 2024 to May 2024, a baseline review of the hospital system of Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, medical staff and patients were conducted to analyze the obstacles in clinical practice and formulate corresponding change strategies, guided by integrated-promoting action on research implementation in health services framework(i-PARIHS).Results:According to 19 best evidence, 20 review indicators were established, among which 10 review indicators compliance rate was less than 60% and higher than 0, 2 review indicators compliance rate was 0. Based on the results of the i-PARIHS evidence-based conceptual framework analysis, the obstacle factors included the evidence content was not specific and inaccessible; lack of knowledge and skills in healthcare; the workload of medical care increased; the patient was old and had weak receptivity, lack of systematic practice process; lack of multidisciplinary communication mechanisms.Conclusions:There is a big gap between the best evidence of perioperative frailties management in elderly patients and clinical practice. Clinical departments need to deeply analyze the obstacles to clinical practice based on the existing clinical environment and resource allocation, and formulate targeted strategies to promote the better integration of evidence into clinical practice.

Objective:To construct a bedside handover management in surgical ward based on the intervention mapping theory and verify the practical effect, to provide a reference for further standardizing handover behavior and improving the efficiency of handover management.Methods:A quasi-experimental research method was adopted. From January 2022 to January 2023, nurses from the Department of Urology of Tongji Medical College Affiliated Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology were selected by cluster sampling. From January to June 2022, routine bedside handover management was implemented. In July 2022, a one-month training on the bedside handover management in surgical ward based on the intervention mapping theory was conducted for urology nurses. From August 2022 to January 2023, the bedside handover management in surgical ward based on the intervention mapping theory was implemented. The incidence of handover problems among nurses, the evaluation of handover among nurses, the qualified rate of nurses' disease awareness, and the satisfaction of patients with handover were compared before and after the training.Results:A total of 48 nurses were included. They were the same batch of nurses before and after the training, including 2 males and 46 females, with an age of (32.23 ± 5.50) years. A total of 1 180 inpatients were included before the training, including 921 males and 259 females, with an age of (56.69 ± 17.24) years. After the training, 1 240 inpatients were included, including 946 males and 294 females, with an age of (55.50 ± 18.85) years. The incidence of handover problems among nurses after the training was 3.71% (46/1 240), which was lower than 9.92% (117/1 180) before the training, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=37.07, P<0.05). After the training, the total score of handover evaluation for nurses and the qualified rate of nurses' disease awareness were (80.08 ± 3.74) points and 91.67% (44/48) respectively, which were higher than (73.10 ± 3.53) points and 72.92% (35/48) before the training, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=-0.94, χ2=5.79, both P<0.05). The total score of satisfaction with bedside handover of patients after the training was (76.13 ± 4.50) points, which was higher than (67.92 ± 4.64) points before the training, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-13.99, P<0.05). Conclusions:The bedside handover management plan based on the intervention mapping theory can effectively strengthen the quality of bedside handover, improve the satisfaction with bedside handover of patients, and deepen nursing quality.

Objective:To develop a Knowledge-Attitude-Practice (KAP) Scale for Dietary Management During Hemodialysis and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the KAP theoretical framework, an initial version of the scale was developed through a literature review and expert consultations. A convenience sampling method was used to recruit hemodialysis patients from four hospitals in Suzhou in March 2024. Questionnaire item analysis and reliability and validity tests were conducted.Results:A total of 460 questionnaires were distributed and 438 valid responses were collected, with an effective response rate of 95.22%. The final scale included three dimensions (knowledge, attitude, and practice) with 34 items. Content validity at the scale level was 0.910, and the item level ranged from 0.800 to 1.000. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.520%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.971, and the Cronbach's αcoefficients for the three dimensions were 0.963, 0.933, and 0.934, respectively. The test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.839.Conclusions:The Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Scale for Dietary Management During Hemodialysis demonstrates good reliability and validity, making it a valuable tool for assessing the KAP level of dietary management in hemodialysis patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism by which Zhiqiao Gancao Decoction (枳壳甘草汤, ZGD) delays intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) based on the Hippo-yes-associated protein (YAP)/transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) signaling pathway. MethodsA total of 50 SD rats were randomly divided into sham surgery group, model group, low-dose ZGD group, high-dose ZGD group, and high-dose ZGD + inhibitor group, with 10 rats in each group. In the sham surgery group, the rats were pierced in the skin and muscle at the Co6/7/8 segments of the tail with a 21G needle (depth approximately 2 mm) without damaging the intervertebral disc. In the other groups, rats were injected with a 21G needle at the Co6/7/8 segments of the tail to establish an IDD model by piercing the tail intervertebral disc 5 mm. One week after modeling, rats in the low-dose and high-dose ZGD groups were given 6.24 and 12.24 g/(kg·d) of the decoction via gastric gavage, respectively. The high-dose ZGD + inhibitor group was given 12.24 g/(kg·d) of the decoction and an intraperitoneal injection of YAP/TAZ inhibitor Verteporfin 10 mg/kg. The sham surgery and model groups were given 5 ml/(kg·d) of normal saline via gavage. The gavage was given once a day, and the intraperitoneal injection was given every other day. After 4 weeks of continuous intervention, the pathological changes of the tail intervertebral discs were observed using HE staining, Oil Red O-Green staining, and Toluidine Blue staining. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of aggrecan and MMP3 in the nucleus pulposus. TUNEL fluorescence staining was performed to detect apoptosis in the nucleus pulposus, and the apoptosis rate was calculated. Western blot was used to detect the Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway, including YAP, phosphorylated YAP (p-YAP), phosphorylated MST1/2 (p-MST1/2), phosphorylated TAZ (p-TAZ) and apoptosis-related proteins, such as Cleaved Caspase 3, P53, Bcl-2 and Bax. ResultsCompared with sham surgery group, the rats in the model group showed significant degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc. The levels of aggrecan, Bcl-2, and YAP proteins in the nucleus pulposus decreased, while the levels of p-MST1/2, p-YAP, p-TAZ, P53, Bax, Cleaved Caspase 3, MMP3 proteins, and the apoptosis rate increased (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the drug intervention groups showed partial recovery in intervertebral disc degeneration. The levels of aggrecan, Bcl-2, and YAP proteins increased, while the levels of p-MST1/2, p-YAP, p-TAZ, P53, Bax, Cleaved Caspase 3, MMP3 proteins, and the apoptosis rate decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The high-dose ZGD group showed more significant recovery in intervertebral disc degeneration compared to the low-dose ZGD group, with a decrease in the levels of p-MST1/2, p-YAP, p-TAZ, P53, Bax, Cleaved Caspase 3, MMP3 proteins, and apoptosis rate, and an increase in the levels of aggrecan, Bcl-2, and YAP proteins (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the high-dose ZGD group, the high-dose ZGD + inhibitor group showed a reduced recovery in intervertebral disc degeneration, with an increase in the levels of p-MST1/2, p-YAP, p-TAZ, P53, Bax, Cleaved Caspase 3, MMP3 proteins, and apoptosis rate, and a decrease in the levels of aggrecan, Bcl-2, and YAP proteins (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionZGD may delay intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting the phosphorylation of YAP in the nucleus pulposus, maintaining the function of the Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling pathway, and reducing apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells.
