Objective To explore the application effect of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in nursing risk management of emergency surgery for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Taking the HFMEA model as the theoretical framework, the emergency surgical process of TBI was analyzed, a flow chart was drawn, and the potential risk factors were analyzed. Corresponding intervention programs were adopted for high-risk failure modes, and 80 patients from November 2022 to April 2023 were conducted with routine management before implementation of HFMEA (control group), the other 80 patients from May to October 2023 were conducted with management after implementation of HFMEA (observation group). The surgical efficiency (preoperative waiting time, surgical preparation time, anesthesia induction time, postoperative handover time), the incidence rates of adverse events in the operation room (incomplete preparation of supplies, contamination of surgical drapes, insufficient or defective intraoperative instruments, errors in writing nursing records, incorrect or missing items in handover information), the incidence rates of perioperative complications (low intraoperative body temperature, pressure injury, abnormal fluctuations in vital signs during surgery, wound infection, lung infection) and satisfaction degree of surgical doctors to nurses for current operations (itinerant nurses, instrument nurses) were compared between two groups. Results The observation group had significantly shorter preoperative waiting time, surgical preparation time, anesthesia induction time, and postoperative handover time compared to the control group (

Liver is the central hub regulating energy metabolism during feeding-fasting transition. Evidence suggests that fasting and refeeding induce dynamic changes in liver size, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a key regulator of organ size. This study aims to explore the role of YAP in fasting- and refeeding-induced changes in liver size. Here, fasting significantly reduced liver size, which was recovered to the normal level after refeeding. Moreover, hepatocyte size was decreased and hepatocyte proliferation was inhibited after fasting. Conversely, refeeding promoted hepatocyte enlargement and proliferation compared to fasted state. Mechanistically, fasting or refeeding regulated the expression of YAP and its downstream targets, as well as the proliferation-related protein cyclin D1 (CCND1). Furthermore, fasting significantly reduced the liver size in AAV-control mice, which was mitigated in AAV Yap (5SA) mice. Yap overexpression also prevented the effect of fasting on hepatocyte size and proliferation. Besides, the recovery of liver size after refeeding was delayed in AAV Yap shRNA mice. Yap knockdown attenuated refeeding-induced hepatocyte enlargement and proliferation. In summary, this study demonstrated that YAP plays an important role in dynamic changes of liver size during fasting-refeeding transition, which provides new evidence for YAP in regulating liver size under energy stress.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether the quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurement of pancreatic fat content may indicate impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsA total of 108 subjects (43 men, 65 women; aged 47.9±12.1 years) were enrolled in this study, including 27 with T2DM, 29 with IGT and 53 with normal glucose tolerant (NGT). NGT individuals were subdivided into younger group (<40 years old) and elder group (≥40 years old). All the participants underwent standard laboratory tests for insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. MRI scanning with the iterative decomposition of water and fat with echo asymmetry and least square estimation image quantification (IDEAL-IQ) technique was used to determine fat distribution in the pancreas. The correlation between pancreatic fat volume fractions (PFVF) and laboratory parameters was analyzed. The feasibility of using PFVF to predict IGT and T2DM was evaluated. ResultsPFVF was significantly higher in T2DM patients than that in both IGT and NGT patients, with lowest PFVF in NGT patients. Logistic regression indicated that PFVF was an independent risk factor of glucose abnormality (IGT and T2DM). ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value for PFVF to predict glucose abnormality (IGT and T2DM) was 5.68% (P< 0.001; AUC: 0.871; sensitivity: 92.7%; specificity: 71.7%). ConclusionMRI fat quantitative assay can quantitatively determine fat content in the pancreas, providing a non-invasive biomarker for the prediction of glucose abnormality (IGT and T2DM).
