Objective To establish a scheme of immunosuppressant(tacrolimus)tube administration after lung transplantation and evaluate the effect.Methods Utilizing evidence summary and the Delphi method with the Structure-Process-Outcome(SPO)model,a tacrolimus administrating via feeding tubes scheme was established for lung transplantations,incorporating 5 aspects"medication management""risk assessment""enteral feeding implementation""process monitoring"and"evaluation and feedback"from July to September 2023.A convenience sampling method was employed to select patients with lung transplant surgery of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province from November 2023 to June 2024.Among them,18 patients admitted from March to June 2024 were designated as an experimental group,receiving the developed tacrolimus enteral feeding administration plan;18 patients admitted from November 2023 to February 2024 were designated as a control group,receiving standard enteral feeding administration measures.The standard trough concentration of tacrolimus,the coefficient of variation of tacrolimus trough concentration,the daily dosage of tacrolimus and its coefficient of variation,and the rate of achieving the target trough concentration of tacrolimus were compared between the 2 groups.Results Of the initially recruited subjects,15 in the experimental group and 18 in the control group were included in the final analysis.After intervention,the coefficient of variation of trough concentrations and daily doses of tacrolimus in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,while the rate of achieving target trough concentrations was higher,with all differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of standardized blood drug concentrations and the coefficient of variation of daily doses between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The tacrolimus administrating via feeding tubes scheme for lung transplantations based on the SPO model is scientific and practical,providing clinical references for the use of tacrolimus enteral medication after lung transplantation,in order to promote the standardization of tacrolimus enteral administration.

Objective:To explore the correlation between clinical and CT imaging features and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and screening of mutation prediction indicators.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 178 NSCLC patients who were confirmed by pathology and underwent pre-treatment chest-enhanced CT scan and EGFR gene mutation testing in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were classified into EGFR mutation-positive and mutation-negative groups based on genetic testing results, and the clinical and CT imaging features were compared between the two groups; the multivariate logistic regression model was used to identify the independent influencing factors for EGFR gene mutation in NSCLC patients.Results:Among 178 NSCLC patients, 115 cases (64.6%) were EGFR gene mutation-positive and 63 cases (35.4%) were mutation-negative. Among the 115 EGFR gene mutation-positive patients, there were 61 cases (53.0%) of exon 19 deletion (19del) mutation, 45 cases (39.1%) of exon 21 L858R mutation, 8 cases (7.0%) of exon 20 mutation, and 1 case (0.9%) of exon 18 mutation. The proportions of female patients [60.0% (69/115) vs. 30.2% (19/63)] and patients with out smoking history [74.8% (86/115) vs. 36.5% (23/63)] in EGFR gene mutation-positive group were higher than those in the mutation-negative group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.001), while the proportions of patients with different pathological types and clinical stages in the two groups showed no statistically significant differences (both P > 0.05). The median maximum diameter of tumor [ M ( Q1, Q3)] detected by CT in the EGFR gene mutation-positive group was 3.70 (2.90, 4.70) cm, while in the mutation-negative group it was 5.30 (3.40, 6.80) cm, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z = -3.66, P < 0.001). The proportions of patients with air bronchogram [27.8% (32/115) vs. 7.9% (5/63)] and without emphysema [83.5% (96/115) vs. 55.6% (35/63)] in the EGFR gene mutation-positive group were higher than those in the mutation-negative group, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.01). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that no smoking history (yes vs. no, OR = 0.218, 95% CI: 0.073-0.647), short maximum diameter of tumor detected by CT ( OR = 0.814, 95% CI: 0.676-0.981), air bronchogram (yes vs. no, OR = 5.354, 95% CI: 1.782-16.090), and no emphysema (yes vs. no, OR = 0.289, 95% CI: 0.128-0.653) were independent risk factors for EGFR gene mutation in NSCLC patients (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Clinical and CT imaging features may relate to EGFR gene mutation status in NSCLC patients, and no smoking history, short maximum diameter of tumor detected by CT, air bronchogram and no emphysema may predict EGFR gene mutation.

Objective:To conduct a comprehensive global review of research on toxic leadership behavior among nursing managers and to analyze the current research status.Methods:Literature related to toxic leadership behavior among nursing managers was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database, and China Biomedical Literature Database. The search period extended from the inception of each database to February 15, 2025. The included literature was then organized, analyzed, and summarized.Results:A total of 28 studies were included. There were 23 studies reported the occurrence of toxic leadership behavior among nursing managers, the incidence of toxic leadership behavior was almost at a moderately low level. There were 8 studies reported the influencing factors of toxic leadership behavior, its influencing factors encompassed three primary aspects: the organizational level, the personal characteristics of nursing managers, and characteristics of the nursing staff group. Assessment tools of toxic leadership behavior included the Toxic Leadership Behaviors of Nurse Managers, the Abuse Management Questionnaire, etc. The adverse consequences included increased nurse turnover intention, decreased nursing quality, and reduced organizational trust, etc. Interventions were planned and implemented from three perspectives: the hospital managers, nursing managers, and the nurses.Conclusions:The factors influencing toxic leadership behavior among nursing managers and its adverse consequences require further exploration. Therefore, more intervention studies are warranted to provide new insights and methods for preventing and reducing toxic leadership behavior.

Objective:To describe the distribution of fat-free mass (FFM) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) in children aged 3-17 years in China.Methods:Data were collected from National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey in 0-18 years old children in China. By using multi-stage stratified randomized cluster sampling method, the project was conducted in 28 survey points in urban and rural areas in 14 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in 7 regions in China from 2019 to 2021. FFM was measured using bioelectrical impedance meter. Finally, the body composition data of 70 853 children were included in the analysis. M ( Q1, Q3) was used to describe the gender and age specific FFM and FFMI of the children in different regions. Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used to compare FFM and FFMI of boys and girls in same age group, boys in different age groups, girls in different age groups, as well as boys in same age group and girls in same age group in different regions. DSCF method was used for pairwise comparisons. Results:After the age of 11 years, the difference of FFMI between boys and girls increased year by year. The FFMI was 14.2 kg/m 2 in boys and 13.8 kg/m 2 in girls at 11 years old, the difference was significant ( χ2=135.86, P<0.001). The difference of FFMI between boys and girls exceed 1.0 kg/m 2 from 12 years old, and FFMI was 15.3 kg/m 2 in boys and 14.2 kg/m 2 in girls at 12 year old, the difference was significant ( χ2=597.27, P<0.001). The FFMI was 17.5 kg/m 2 in boys and 14.7 kg/m 2 in girls at 16 years old, the difference was significant ( χ2=2 543.60, P<0.001). The FFMI was higher in boys in northeast China, while the FFMI was lower in both boys and girls in northwest China. Conclusions:Gender specific difference was observed in the increase of FFMI with age. The FFMI was significantly higher in boys than in girls after 11 years old. It is necessary to pay attention to the problem of FFM in children in northeastern and northwestern China.

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of body height, body weight and body mass index (BMI) in children aged 3-17 years in China.Methods:Data were obtained from the National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey in 0-18 years old children in China. The study selected 70 853 children aged 3-17 years from 28 urban and rural survey sites in 14 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in 7 regions of China with multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling. M ( Q1, Q3) was used to describe the region, age and gender specific body height, body weight and BMI in the children aged 3-17 years. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the body height, body weight, and BMI between boys and girls in same age group. Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used to compare the body height, body weight and BMI among boys in different age groups and among girls in different age groups, as well as among boys in same age group and among girls in same age group from different regions, and DSCF method was used for further pairwise comparisons. Results:In this study, the median body height and body weight were 172.0 cm and 62.9 kg in 17-year-old boys and 160.0 cm and 53.7 kg in 17-year-old girls. The median for children's body height, body weight, and BMI in most age groups were higher in northeastern and northern China than in southern China, and the differences could be observed until age 17 years. The differences in body weight and BMI in children in northeastern and northern China were greater in Q3 than in Q1 compared with southern China. Conclusions:The body height of children aged 3-17 years continues to increase in China. Northeastern and northern China have more children with higher bodyweight, showing an obvious body weight increase trend, to which close attention needs to be paid.

Objective:To describe the distribution of fat mass (FM), fat mass percentage (FMP), and fat mass index (FMI) in children aged 3-17 years in China.Methods:Data of this study were from the National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey in 0-18 years old children in China. A total of 70 853 children aged 3-17 years old selected from seven regions of China were included in this analysis. Body composition were measured by using bioelectrical impedance meter. The region, gender and age specific FM, FMP and FMI of the subjects were described by using M ( Q1, Q3). Kruskal-Wallis H rank sum test was used for the comparison of intergroup differences. DSCF method was used for pairwise comparisons. Results:The medians of FM, FMP and FMI were 3.0 kg, 18.3% and 2.9 kg/m 2 in boys aged 3 years and 2.9 kg, 19.0% and 2.9 kg/m 2 in girls aged 3 years, respectively. The FM increased with age and the FMP and FMI decreased with age in both boys and girls aged 3-5 years. After 11 years old, the FM, FMP and FMI decreased first and then increased in boys. From 6-17 years old, the FM, FMP and FMI increased gradually in girls. The FM, FMP and FMI were higher in girls than in boys after 12 years old (all P<0.05). The FM, FMP and FMI were relatively higher in children at the age of 6-14 in northeastern and northern China than in other regions. Conclusions:The age specific FM, FMP and FMI had different changing characteristics in boys and girls aged 3-17 years in seven regions of China. The FM, FMP and FMI also differed with region.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and fat mass percentage (FMP) in children aged 3-17 years in China.Methods:The BMI and FMP data of children aged 3-17 years from the National Nutrition and Health Systematic Survey in 0-18 years old children in China was analyzed. BMI- Z score/BMI and FMP were used to classify the subjects, respectively. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between BMI and FMP. The consistency between BMI- Z score/BMI and FMP in classifying the subjects was measured using Kappa coefficient. Results:The FMP of malnutrition, normal and overweight/obesity in boys was higher in age group 10-13-year than in other age groups (all P<0.001). The FMP of all nutritional status in girls increased with age (all P<0.05). The BMI of boys in all the FMP levels increased with age (all P<0.05). When the FMP of girls was 25%- or ≥30%, BMI increased with age (all P<0.001). The relationship between BMI and FMP was strong ( r=0.705, P<0.001), with r of 0.618 in boys and 0.884 in girls. The consistency between BMI- Z score/BMI and FMP in classifying the subjects was found to be moderate (Kappa=0.574, P<0.001). Conclusions:There was a strong relationship between BMI and FMP. The consistency between BMI- Z score/BMI and FMP in classifying the subjects was moderate.
