Objective:To construct a representative index system for evaluating pediatric orthopedic nursing quality, providing a basis for hospital pediatric orthopedic nursing quality assessment and monitoring.Methods:From April to July 2023, using the "structure-process-outcome" three-dimensional quality structure model as the theoretical framework, a literature review was conducted, and an item pool was formulated. Through two rounds of Delphi method expert consultations, the hierarchical analysis method was finally employed to determine the indicators and their weights at each level.Results:The effective recovery rates of the questionnaire of the two rounds of expert consultations were 100% (20/20), the authority coefficients of experts were 0.87 and 0.88, the coefficients of variation were 0.00 to 0.27 and 0.00 to 0.24. The Kendell harmony coefficients of the second and third indicators in the two rounds of inquiry were 0.140, 0.166 and 0.192, 0.161(all P<0.05). The final pediatric orthopedic nursing quality evaluation index system included 3 primary indicators, 21 secondary indicators and 83 tertiary indicators. Among the primary indicators, the weight of process quality was the highest at 0.493 4, followed by outcome quality at 0.310 8, and the lowest was structural quality at 0.195 8. In the secondary indicators, "assessment criteria of limb blood circulation" had the highest weight at 0.099 8. Conclusions:The constructed pediatric orthopedic nursing quality evaluation index system covers key aspects and is more operationally feasible. It provides better guidance for nursing interventions and quality control.

Compared to the general population, there is a higher prevalence of epilepsy in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). Epilepsy serves as an indicator of CP severity and has a significant impact on the early survival and future quality of life of children with CP. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the shared mechanisms underlying CP and epilepsy. This study aims to summarize the comorbidity of CP and epilepsy from genetic factors, risk factors, and pathophysiological mechanisms, in order to provide a reference for further research.

Septic cardiomyopathy(SIC)is an organ dysfunction frequently observed in sepsis and characterized by high mortality and poor prognosis.Understanding the complex pathogenesis of SIC and developing effective therapeutic tools are critical issues that require attention.Previous studies have demonstrated the significant role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the development of SIC.In the presence of SIC,and the mitochondrial dysfunction that result,the aberrant regulation of the mitochondrial quality control system(MQC)can exacerbate cardiomyocyte injury.Recent studies have demonstrated that the MQC maintains the dynamics of mitochondrial homeostasis through its regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis,fusion/fission,and autophagy.This article provides an overview of the role of MQC in SIC pathogenesis,reviews the latest studies in the field,and analyzes MQC's potential as a therapeutic target.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To detect the expressions of S100P, mucin 5A, mucin 6, estrogen-inducing protein pS2, C-reactive protein (CRP), N-cadherin and CD56 in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) and to analyze the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of large and small bile duct cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of 47 patients (22 patients small bile duct and 25 patients large bile duct ICC) diagnosed with ICC at Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center from January 2018 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 29 males and 18 females, aged (64.0±11.1) years. Cancer tissue specimens were collected. The expressions of S100P, mucin 5A, mucin 6, estrogen-induced protein pS2, CRP, N-cadherin and CD56 in cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemical method, and the sensitivity and specificity of these proteins in the diagnosis of small bile duct and large bile duct ICC were analyzed.Results:In 22 patients with small bile duct type ICC, CD56 expression was positive in 12 (54.5%), CRP expression in 22 (100.0%) and N-cadherin expression in 21 (95.5%), large bile duct type ICC were 8.0%(2/25), 28.0%(7/25), 40.0%(10/25). In 25 cases of large bile duct type ICC, S100 calcium-binding protein P expression was positive in 23 cases (92.0%), estrogen-induced protein pS2 expression in 21 (84.0%) and mucin 5A expression in 23 (92.0%), small bile duct type ICC were 9.1%(2/22), 36.4%(8/22), 0. The positive expression rates of CD56, CRP and N-cadherin in small bile duct type ICC were significantly higher than those in large bile duct type ICC, while S100 calcium-binding protein P, estrogen-induced protein pS2 and mucin 5A were lower than those in large bile duct type ICC (all P<0.05). The sensitivity of CD56, CRP and N-cadherin in the diagnosis of small bile duct type ICC were 54.5%, 100.0% and 95.5%, and the specificity were 92.0%, 72.0% and 60.0%, respectively. The sensitivity of S100 calcium-binding protein P, estrogen-induced protein pS2 and mucin 5A in the diagnosis of large bile duct type ICC were 92.0%, 84.0% and 92.0%, and the specificity were 90.9%, 63.6% and 100.0%, respectively. Conclusion:The positive expressions of CD56, CRP, N-cadherin, S100 calcium-binding protein P, estrogen-induced protein pS2 and mucin 5A are of great value in the differential diagnosis of large bile duct type and small bile duct type ICC, and the diagnostic accuracy is reasonable, which could facilitate the accurate histological classification of ICC.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.

COVID-19 is caused by a novel coronavirus-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which has being spreading around the world, posing a serious threat to human health and lives. Neutralizing antibodies and small molecule inhibitors for virus replication cycle are the main antiviral treatment for novel coronavirus recommended in China. To further promote the rational use of antiviral therapy in clinical practice, the National Center for Infectious Diseases (Beijing Ditan Hospital Capital Medical University and the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine) invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory and intensive care to develop an Expert Consensus on Antiviral Therapy of COVID-19 based on the Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline for COVID-19 ( trial version 10) and experiences in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in China. The consensus is concise, practical and highly operable, hopefully it would improve the understanding of antiviral therapy for clinicians and provide suggestions for standardized medication in treatment of COVID-19.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early selective reduction of twin pregnancies or spontaneous reduction on the improvement of clinical outcome in IVF-ET treatment.Methods:The clinical data of 6535 cycles(6535 cases)of single or twin pregnancy obtained from fresh and frozen-thawed embryo transfer(FET)of IVF or ICSI-ET in the Department of Reproductive Medicine,Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Xiamen Univer-sity from November 2011 to December2021 were analyzed retrospectively,The propensity score matching(PSM)method(1∶4)was used to include the study subjects.The surgical reduction group and the spontaneous single-ton group were included in 128 cycles and 510 cycles,respectively.The spontaneous reduction group and the ini-tial singleton group were included in 511 cycles and 2038 cycles,respectively.The pregnancy outcomes of each groups were compared.Results:After PSM,the number of transferred embryos in the surgical and spontaneous reduction group was higher than that in the initial singleton group.The gestational week of delivery was earlier than that of the initial singleton group,and the birth weight of the newborn was lower than that in the initial single-ton group.The rate of premature delivery and low birth weight was higher than that in the initial singleton group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The incidence of pregnancy complications(postpartum hemorrhage,gestational diabetes,hypertensive disorders of pregnancy)and the rate of cesarean section were not significantly different(P＞0.05).The abortion rate and neonatal birth defect rate were missing after adjusting the PSM model.According to the calculation before adjustment,the early abortion rate of the surgical reduction group and the spontaneous reduction group were significantly lower than that in the initial singleton group(P＜0.05),and the late abortion rate of the spontaneous reduction group was lower than that in the initial singleton group,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the neonatal birth defect rate between the surgical/spontaneous reduction group and the initial singleton group(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Patients with multiple pregnancies caused by assisted reproductive technology(ART)may have a relatively poor prognosis in the perinatal period even if the effect of early pregnancy reduction surgery or spontaneous reduction is limited.Reducing the number of embryos transferred cannot completely reverse the pregnancy outcome.Limiting the number of embryos transferred is the fundamental solution to the adverse outcomes of ART assisted pregnancy.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and recurrent inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that has become a major gastroenterologic problem during recent decades. Numerous complicating factors are involved in UC development such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and microbiota disorder. These factors exacerbate damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier. Spirulina platensis is a commercial alga with various biological activity that is widely used as a functional ingredient in food and beverage products. However, there have been few studies on the treatment of UC using S. platensis aqueous extracts (SP), and the underlying mechanism of action of SP against UC has not yet been elucidated. Herein, we aimed to investigate the modulatory effect of SP on microbiota disorders in UC mice and clarify the underlying mechanisms by which SP alleviates damage to the intestinal mucosal barrier. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was used to establish a normal human colonic epithelial cell (NCM460) injury model and UC animal model. The mitochondrial membrane potential assay 3-‍‍(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,‍5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) and staining with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) and Hoechst 33258 were carried out to determine the effects of SP on the NCM460 cell injury model. Moreover, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blot, and 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing were used to explore the effects and underlying mechanisms of action of SP on UC in C57BL/6 mice. In vitro studies showed that SP alleviated DSS-induced NCM460 cell injury. SP also significantly reduced the excessive generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevented mitochondrial membrane potential reduction after DSS challenge. In vivo studies indicated that SP administration could alleviate the severity of DSS-induced colonic mucosal damage compared with the control group. Inhibition of inflammation and oxidative stress was associated with increases in the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the expression of tight junction proteins (TJs) post-SP treatment. SP improved gut microbiota disorder mainly by increasing antioxidant enzyme activity and the expression of TJs in the colon. Our findings demonstrate that the protective effect of SP against UC is based on its inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokine overproduction, inhibition of DSS-induced ROS production, and enhanced expression of antioxidant enzymes and TJs in the colonic mucosal barrier.
