Objective:To explore the risk factors for malnutrition after a traumatic brain injury and to construct a model which usefully predicts that risk.Methods:This was a retrospective study of 374 patients with a craniocerebral injury for whom the relevant clinical data were available. Based on their nutritional status, they were stratified into a malnutrition group ( n=220) and a control group ( n=154). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were evaluated seeking to identify the independent risk factors associated with malnutrition, and a prediction model was constructed based on the results. The model′s discrimination ability and accuracy were assessed using a receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve. Results:A total of 220 patients (58.8%) developed malnutrition. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for malnutrition were: age ≥60 years, pulmonary infection, dysphagia, cognitive impairment, a GCS score ≤8, or a Barthel index ≤40. In the ROC curve analysis, the area under the curve quantifying the model′s ability to predict malnutrition was 0.924 (95% CI: 0.896, 0.951), with a sensitivity of 0.868 and a specificity of 0.857, indicating its good prediction performance. Conclusions:Age ≥60 years, pulmonary infection, dysphagia, cognitive impairment, a GCS score ≤8 or a Barthel index ≤40 are independent predictors of malnutrition after a traumatic brain injury. The prediction model constructed based on those risk factors has demonstrated useful predictive power for malnutrition.

Objective To compare ovulation recovery rate and metabolic indicators between ethinyl-estradiol/drospirenone(EE/DRSP)combined with orlistat and EE/DRSP alone in overweight/obese patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial conducted based on the 2004 Rotterdam criteria.From October 2020 to December 2023,180 overweight/obese PCOS patients aged 20-40 were recruited from the Department of Department of Gynecological Endocrinology,Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital,Capital Medical University.The patients were randomly divided into two groups in a 1∶2 ratio.Among them,60 patients received treatment with EE/DRSP(EE20 μg,DRSP 3 mg),while 120 patients received a combination treatment of EE/DRSP and orlistat(360 mg/d).The height,weight,waist circumference,hip circumference,and blood pressure of the patients were measured before treatment and after 12 weeks of treatment.Laboratory tests included measurements of follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),fasting insulin(FINS),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR),free androgen index(FAI),alanine transaminase(ALT),aspartate transaminase(AST),gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT),fasting plasma glucose(FPG),total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)],sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG),total testosterone(T),and free testosterone(FT).After 12 weeks of treatment,the medication was discontinued,and natural ovulation was observed.Results After 12 weeks of treatment,the ovulation rate of the EE/DRSP combined with orlistat group reached 70.8%,while the natural ovulation rate of the EE/DRSP group alone was only 35%,indicating that the ovulation rate was significantly increased after EE/DRSP combined with orlistat treatment.After 12 weeks of treatment,both groups showed a significant decrease in total testosterone,free testosterone,and low-density lipoprotein levels(all P<0.05),and the decrease in BMI,waist circumference,fasting insulin,and HOMA-IR in the EE/DRSP combined with orlistat group was greater than that in the EE/DRSP group alone(P<0.05).After treatment,both groups showed a significant increase in high-density lipoprotein and triglyceride levels(all P<0.05),with no significant changes in total cholesterol and fasting blood glucose(all P>0.05).Conclusion After 12 weeks of treatment,EE/DRSP combined with orlistat can significantly improve the ovulation rate of PCOS patients.It is superior to EE/DRSP alone in reducing androgen levels,body weight,insulin resistance,and low-density lipoprotein levels.

Objective:To evaluate the application effect and long-term benefits of in situ simulation combined with the forgetting curve training mode in trauma nurse training, and to provide a basis for further promoting the development of trauma nurse training.Methods:From June to September 2022, a total of 78 nurses in the Trauma Center of a grade A tertiary hospital in Changsha, China were selected by the purposive sampling method as the research objects. The nurses were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the random number table method. The control group received theoretical teaching and skill operation training by traditional teaching methods. The experimental group was trained by the teaching method of in-situ simulation combined with the forgetting curve. The scores of theoretical and operational skills of the two groups were compared by the repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) before training (T1), 1 day after training (T2), 1 month after training (T3), and 6 months after training (T4). The scores of core competence of trauma nurses before and after training were compared between the two groups by the t test. Results:There was no significant difference in theoretical, operational, and core competence scores between the two groups before training ( P>0.05). The results of repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences in the time effect, inter-group effect, and interaction effect of theoretical and operational scores between the two groups ( P<0.001). The results of one-way repeated measures ANOVA showed that the theoretical and operational scores of the two groups increased first and then decreased with time. The results of multivariate ANOVA showed no significant difference in theoretical and operational scores between the two groups at observation time point T1 ( P>0.05), but significant differences at observation time points T2, T3, and T4, at which the scores in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.001). The results of independent samples t test showed that the core competence score of trauma nurses in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group after training ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The training mode of in situ simulation combined with the forgetting curve is more effective than traditional training mode in improving the professional skill level of trauma nurses and brings long-term training effect and benefits.
