Objective:To explore the application effect of integrated root cause analysis (RCA) in the analysis of approximate administration error events, and to provide reference for the management of clinical approximate administration error events.Methods:A non-synchronous pre-and post-control study was conducted. The data of 3 cases of approximate error events of drug administration in the Department of Cardiology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The integrated RCA was used to find out the proximal causes, and the system diagram and problem tree analysis were used to determine the root causes. The improvement measures were formulated through barrier analysis, including improving the safety barrier of hospital information system (HIS), updating the database of drug instructions in the Department of Cardiology, standardizing the barrier of nurses′ treatment and examination of medical orders, and visual management barrier. The integrated RCA improvement measures were applied to the management of approximate error events of drug administration. The improvement effect was evaluated by comparing the number of adverse events of medication errors before improvement (January to September 2021) and after improvement (September 2023 to May 2024), the error rate of HIS drug orders, the number of drug interceptions in pharmacies, the processing time of doctors′ HIS orders, and the qualified rate of medical staff 's drug knowledge assessment.Results:There were 32 medical staff in the department of cardiology before improvement, including 6 males and 26 females, aged (31.03 ± 4.29) years old. After improvement, 30 medical staff, 6 males and 24 females, aged (31.20 ± 4.37) years old. After the implementation of integrated RCA improvement, the number of adverse events of medication errors decreased from 3 cases before improvement to 0 cases after improvement. The error rate of HIS drug orders decreased from 11.83%(11/93) before improvement to 2.74%(2/73) after improvement. Improve the pre-audit system without pharmacy drug delivery interception function, improve the pre-application drug information 6 990, the number of drug interception was 0; after improvement, 7 782 pieces of drug information were claimed, and the number of drug interceptions was 78. The difference before and after improvement was statistically significant ( χ2=68.54, P<0.05). After the improvement, the doctor′s HIS doctor′s order processing time including admission, discharge, preoperative, postoperative, examination and medication, and temporary doctor′s order processing time were (1.14 ± 0.41), (1.37 ± 0.30), (0.43 ± 0.11), (0.51 ± 0.11), (0.40 ± 0.10) and (0.51 ± 0.14) min, respectively. They were lower than (4.07 ± 0.70), (3.69 ± 0.60), (1.44 ± 0.24), (2.10 ± 0.45), (1.41 ± 0.28) and (1.44 ± 0.29) min before improvement, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 15.21-21.42, all P<0.05). The qualified rate of drug knowledge examination of medical staff increased from 81.25%(26/32) before improvement to 100.00%(30/30) after improvement, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of integrated RCA to analyze the approximate error events of drug administration is helpful to identify the system defects in the workflow of electronic medical order administration more comprehensively, improve work efficiency and ensure the quality and safety of medical care.

Objective:To investigate the MRI characteristics of ductal lesions with microcalcifications detected by mammography,and to evaluate the value of MRI in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant ductal lesions.Methods:The clinical data of 112 patients with pathologically confirmed ductal lesions with microcalcifications detected by mammography in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent mammography and MRI examinations.MRI morphological features,dynamic enhancement characteristics,diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI)findings,and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values were analyzed and compared with pathological results.The diagnostic performance of various MRI features was analyzed using ROC curves.Results:Among the 112 patients,there were 47 benign lesions and 65 malignant lesions.Malignant lesions were more likely to present with irregular morphology,heterogeneous T2 signal,lobulation,and spiculation(P＜0.05),while benign lesions were more likely to present with round or oval shapes and homogeneous T2 signal(P＜0.05).Malignant lesions predominantly showed fast rise-fast washout(Washout type)enhancement curves(58.5％),while benign lesions predominantly showed persistent rise(Progressive type)enhancement curves(55.3％).The ADC values of malignant lesions(0.92±0.21× 10-3 mm2/s)were significantly lower than those of benign lesions(1.45±0.28× 10-3 mm2/s)(P＜0.001).The combined application of morphological features,dynamic enhancement curves,and ADC values had the highest diagnostic performance,with a sensitivity of 92.3％,specificity of 89.4％,and accuracy of 91.1％.Conclusion:Multi-parameter MRI can comprehensively evaluate ductal lesions with microcalcifications detected by mammography.The combined application of morphological features,dynamic enhancement curve types,and ADC values can effectively improve the accuracy of differential diagnosis between benign and malignant lesions,providing important basis for clinical treatment decisions.

Transcription factor PU.1, as a core member of the ETS family, plays a pivotal role in the multi-lineage differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, particularly in the regulation of erythroid differentiation. PU.1 orchestrates the process of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation towards erythroid cells by modulating the transcription of lineage-determining factors and interacting with other key transcription factors in a fine-tuned manner. PU.1 plays an irreplaceable role in the development and function of red blood cells, with its abnormal expression closely related to the occurrence and progression of various blood diseases, including leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, and various types of anemia. This article comprehensively analyzes the functional roles and molecular mechanisms of PU.1 in various stages of erythroid differentiation, as well as its potential roles in related blood diseases. This review not only deepens our understanding of the mechanism by which PU.1 regulates erythroid differentiation, but also provides theoretical grounds for blood disease therapies based on PU.1.

Objective:To evaluate the outcomes of stroke treatment in neurology and rehabilitation departments using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health′s Rehabilitation Set (ICF-RS).Method:The functional status of stroke survivors before and after treatment in the neurology and rehabilitation departments was evaluated using the ICF-RS (30 items). Each patient′s functioning was graded (normal, mild, moderate or severe dysfunction) by an experienced clinical evaluator and also by the intelligent evaluation model in the ICF-RS app. Medical expenditure data during hospitalization were extracted from the hospital′s case records. Rank sum tests compared the functional changes in a patient before and after their rehabilitation. Kappa coefficients were computed to evaluate the consistency of the functional grades assigned by the evaluators and the app.Results:Before the rehabilitation treatment, all 30 items of the ICF-RS were abnormal for all of the patients from the neurology and rehabilitation departments. After their rehabilitation treatment, 25 items had improved significantly for the neurology patients and 8 had improved significantly for those from the rehabilitation department. After their rehabilitation treatment, the average functional improvement among the neurology patients was 25%. For the rehabilitation patients it was 13%. The total expenditure for every 1% improvement in function was Y977 for the neurology patients (including Y143 for rehabilitation) and Y1, 481 for the rehabilitation patients (including Y862 of actual rehabilitation). The proportions of rehabilitation expenditure were thus 14% and 58% respectively. The kappa coefficients quantifying overall consistency were both greater than 0.8.Conclusion:The national standard ICF-RS can be used to evaluate functional changes, rehabilitation efficacy and the composition of stroke patients′ medical expenditures in the early stage of neurology and the recovery period in the rehabilitation department. The consistency of the functional level evaluations between the app and human evaluators is good.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of H ₂S against lipid peroxidation-mediated carbonyl stress in the uranium-treated NRK-52E cells. METHODS: Cell viability was evaluated using CCK-8 assay. Apoptosis was measured using flow cytometry. Reagent kits were used to detect carbonyl stress markers malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxynonenal, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and protein carbonylation. Aldehyde-protein adduct formation and alcohol dehydrogenase, aldehyde dehydrogenase 2, aldo-keto reductase, nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) expression were determined using western blotting or real-time PCR. Sulforaphane (SFP) was used to activate Nrf2. RNA interference was used to inhibit CBS expression. RESULTS: GYY4137 (an H ₂S donor) pretreatment significantly reversed the uranium-induced increase in carbonyl stress markers and aldehyde-protein adducts. GYY4137 effectively restored the uranium-decreased Nrf2 expression, nuclear translocation, and ratio of nuclear to cytoplasmic Nrf2, accompanied by a reversal of the uranium-decreased expression of CBS and aldehyde-metabolizing enzymes. The application of CBS siRNA efficiently abrogated the SFP-enhanced effects on the expression of CBS, Nrf2 activation, nuclear translocation, and ratio of nuclear to cytoplasmic Nrf2 and concomitantly reversed the SFP-enhanced effects of the uranium-induced mRNA expression of aldehyde-metabolizing enzymes. Simultaneously, CBS siRNA reversed the SFP-mediated alleviation of the uranium-induced increase in reactive aldehyde levels, apoptosis rates, and uranium-induced cell viability. CONCLUSION H ₂S induces Nrf2 activation and nuclear translocation, which modulates the expression of aldehyde-metabolizing enzymes and the CBS/H ₂S axis. Simultaneously, the Nrf2-controlled CBS/H ₂S axis may at least partially promote Nrf2 activation and nuclear translocation. These events form a cycle-regulating mode through which H ₂S attenuates the carbonyl stress-mediated NRK-52E cytotoxicity triggered by uranium.
