Nursing is a discipline that integrates natural science,social science,and humanities.The nursing profession has been closely related to humanistic care since its inception.The particularity of nursing requires that nurses not only need to master solid nursing technology but also need to have good humanistic care ability.Improving nurses'humanistic care ability is an important way to further improve the quality of nursing in the new era.This paper summarized the concept,assessment tools,and influencing factors of nurses'humanistic care,preliminarily discussed the countermeasures to improve nurses'humanistic care ability,and put forward the development expectations of nurses'humanistic care,so as to provide a reference for nursing education,nursing management,and nursing practice.

Objective To discuss the perioperative care and wound protection of xenotransplantation from genetically edited pigs to monkeys, with the goal of improving the success rate of such experimental procedures. Methods From October 2022 to October 2023, perioperative care and wound protection were performed on 7 recipient rhesus monkeys undergoing xenotransplantation of genetically edited pig tissues and organs. Customized wound protective garments were designed based on monkeys' size and surgical area to protect the wounds, alongside meticulous perioperative care. This included preoperative preparation and medication, intraoperative monitoring of physiological indicators and anesthesia management, and postoperative care comprising wound protection, observation and monitoring, and nutritional support. Results All seven monkeys successfully underwent xenotransplantation. With the aid of protective garments and detailed care, all surgical wounds healed by first intention, and postoperative recovery was satisfactory. Conclusion Proper care and wound protection during xenotransplantation from genetically edited pigs to monkeys not only promote wound healing, but also alleviate pain and harm to animals. This has significant implications for advancing experimental research in pig-monkey xenotransplantation and enhancing animal welfare.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of critical patient handover practice between emergency room and intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and to provide a basis for structured handover process.Methods:From March to July 2023, a total of 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU (including EICU) of 5 Class 3 Grade A general hospitals in Suzhou were selected as the research objects by using cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method. Self-designed general information questionnaire and Patient Handover Practice Quality Scale were used to investigate the included 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU on the current situation of handover time and quality.Results:A total of 211 pairs of nurses were included, including 286 females (67.8%) and 136 males (32.2%). The average age of emergency department nurses was (27.31 ± 2.17) years old, and ICU nurses was (26.96 ± 3.04) years old. The total scores of the patient handover practice Quality Scale for nurses in the emergency room and ICU were (45.25 ± 6.26) and (43.55 ± 7.19) points respectively, and the scores of the information transmission dimension were (20.47 ± 5.43) and (17.66 ± 3.45) points. The scores of common understanding dimension were (7.59 ± 2.31) and (8.58 ± 2.46) points. The scores of work atmosphere dimension were (7.93 ± 2.11) and (8.39 ± 2.29) points. The scores of handover situation dimension were (5.33 ± 1.30) and (5.70 ± 1.53) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were - 6.35-4.22, all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of handover practice quality between emergency room nurses and ICU nurses according to specialization, education background, working years and job category ( t values were - 4.91-2.56, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Emergency room nurses and ICU nurses have different requirements and expectations for handover procedures, so it is necessary to build a structured handover practice framework and carry out personalized handover practice training, in order to achieve the consistency of handover content and improve the quality of critical patients handover practice.

BACKGROUND: Ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common syndrome associated with considerable mortality and healthcare costs. Up to now, the underlying pathogenesis of ischemic AKI remains incompletely understood, and specific strategies for early diagnosis and treatment of ischemic AKI are still lacking. Here, this study aimed to define the transcriptomic landscape of AKI patients through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis in kidneys. METHODS: In this study, scRNA-seq technology was applied to kidneys from two ischemic AKI patients, and three human public scRNA-seq datasets were collected as controls. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and cell clusters of kidneys were determined. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, as well as the ligand-receptor interaction between cells, were performed. We also validated several DEGs expression in kidneys from human ischemic AKI and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury induced AKI mice through immunohistochemistry staining. RESULTS: 15 distinct cell clusters were determined in kidney from subjects of ischemic AKI and control. The injured proximal tubules (PT) displayed a proapoptotic and proinflammatory phenotype. PT cells of ischemic AKI had up-regulation of novel pro-apoptotic genes including USP47 , RASSF4 , EBAG9 , IER3 , SASH1 , SEPTIN7 , and NUB1 , which have not been reported in ischemic AKI previously. Several hub genes were validated in kidneys from human AKI and renal I/R injury mice, respectively. Furthermore, PT highly expressed DEGs enriched in endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy, and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) signaling. DEGs overexpressed in other tubular cells were primarily enriched in nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor signaling, estrogen signaling, interleukin (IL)-12 signaling, and IL-17 signaling. Overexpressed genes in kidney-resident immune cells including macrophages, natural killer T (NKT) cells, monocytes, and dendritic cells were associated with leukocyte activation, chemotaxis, cell adhesion, and complement activation. In addition, the ligand-receptor interactions analysis revealed prominent communications between macrophages and monocytes with other cells in the process of ischemic AKI. CONCLUSION Together, this study reveals distinct cell-specific transcriptomic atlas of kidney in ischemic AKI patients, altered signaling pathways, and potential cell-cell crosstalk in the development of AKI. These data reveal new insights into the pathogenesis and potential therapeutic strategies in ischemic AKI.

Objective:To construct a discharge preparation service program for elderly lung cancer patients and their caregivers based on binary coping theory, evaluate its clinical feasibility.Methods:To develop discharge preparation service for elderly lung cancer patients and their caregivers by literature retrieval, expert correspondence consultation and theoretical research. The program included three themes: binary evaluation, binary management behaviorand binary health, and six intervention strategies: evaluation of symptoms, care goals and intentions, decision making, emotional communication support, management of physical function changes and general health behavior. From July to September 2021, 30 pairs of elderly lung cancer patients and their caregivers were recruited and assigned into the control group and the experimental group with 15 pairs in each group according to random numbers generated by computer. The feasibility and clinical effect of the program were evaluated by feasibility evaluation index, discharge readiness, dual coping and comprehensive needs scale of caregivers.Results:In this study, the recruitment rate was 76%(32/42), the retention rate was 94%(30/32), and the acceptance rate of the intervention plan in the experimental group was 100%. After intervention, the total scores of discharge readiness was (83.00 ± 2.59), the patient dyadic coping was (136.80 ± 4.54), caregiver dyadic coping was (136.33 ± 3.56) and caregiver comprehensive needs was (124.37 ± 11.69) in the experimental group, which were better than those of in the control group, (74.40 ± 4.17), (129.07 ± 4.83), (120.33 ± 9.17) and (206.57 ± 9.14), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -6.78- 5.54, all P< 0.05). Conclusion:The discharge preparation service plan for elderly lung cancer patients and caregivers based on dyadic coping theory is scientific and feasible, but the plan still needs further optimization, improvement and large sample randomized controlled trial to verify.

OBJECTIVES: We performed an updated meta-analysis to clarify the relationship between the CEBPE rs2239633 polymorphism and the childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (CALL) susceptibility. METHODS: All the case-control studies were updated on October 5, 2020, through Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) electronic database. The heterogeneity in the study was tested by the Q test and I RESULTS: A total of 20 case-control studies were selected, including 7014 patients and 16,428 controls. There was no association of CEBPE rs2239633 polymorphism with CALL (CC vs CT + TT: OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.94-1.26; CC + CT vs TT: OR = 1.10, 95% CI = 0.94-1.30; C vs T: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.92-1.13). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, there is no significant association of this polymorphism and CALL risks among Asian and Caucasian populations in the three genetic models (CC vs CT + TT, CC + CT vs TT, and C vs T). CONCLUSION This meta-analysis found no significant association between the CEBPE rs2239633 polymorphism and susceptibility to CALL.

Background: Enteroscopy-based biopsy pathology has high diagnostic value for suspected small bowel diseases. Retrograde single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is difficult to operate due to the influence of colonic segment. Transparent cap has been widely used in the diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedure, which is conducive for inserting the enteroscope and stabilizing the intestinal cavity. Aims: To explore the role of transparent cap in retrograde SBE. Methods: A total of 64 cases of patients who were hospitalized for retrograde SBE in Suzhou Wuzhong People's Hospital were recruited and allocated into 2 groups according to the random number table method, with 32 cases in each group. Patients in experimental group received cap-assisted SBE and those in control group received routine SBE. All procedures were performed by an experienced senior endoscopist. Outcomes measured included time to reach the ileocecus, terminal ileum intubation rate, depth of insertion, diagnostic yield, and the related complications. Results: The mean time to reach the ileocecus was shorter in experimental group than in control group [(11.8±2.0) min vs. (13.6±2.8) min, P<0.05], the terminal ileum intubation rate (100.0% vs. 81.2%, P<0.05) and depth of insertion [(209.8±46.1) cm vs. (188.3±40.3) cm, P<0.05] between the two groups were also different with statistical significance. However, there was no significant difference in the diagnostic yield between the two groups (81.2% vs. 62.5%, P>0.05). No severe complications were observed in all the cases. Conclusions: Cap-assisted retrograde SBE is an efficient method for optimizing the intubation rate, insertion depth and procedure time, and is suitable for promotion in clinical practice.

Objectives:To summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of the patients with isolated methylmalonic acidemia and investigate the strategies for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention.Methods:Three hundred and fourteen patients (180 males, 134 females) with isolated methylmalonic acidemia were ascertained from 26 provinces or cities across the mainland of China during January 1998 to March 2020. Genetic analysis was performed by Sanger sequencing, gene panel sequencing, whole exome sequencing, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification or quantitative PCR. According to the age of onset, the patients were divided to early-onset group (≤12 months of age) and the late-onset group (>12 months of age). They were treated by cobalamin, L-carnitine and (or) special diet and symptomatic treatment. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test.Results:Fifty-eight of 314 (18.5%) patients were detected by Newborn screening using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Five cases (1.6%) had a postmortem diagnosis. Two hundred and fifty-one patients (79.9%) were clinically diagnosed with an age of onset ranged from 3 hours after birth to 18 years. One hundred and fifty-nine patients (71.0%) belonged to early-onset groups, 65 patients (29.0%) belonged to the late-onset group. The most common symptoms were metabolic crises, psychomotor retardation, epilepsy, anemia and multiple organ damage. Metabolic acidosis and anemia were more common in early-onset patients than that in late-onset patients (20.8%(33/159) vs. 9.2% (6/65), 34.6% (55/159) vs. 16.9% (11/165), χ 2=4.261, 6.930, P=0.039, 0.008). Genetic tests were performed for 236 patients (75.2%), 96.2%(227/236) had molecular confirmation. One hundred and twenty-seven variants were identified in seven genes (MMUT, MMAA, MMAB, MMADHC, SUCLG1, SUCLA2, and MCEE), of which 49 were novel. The mut type, caused by the deficiency of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, was the most common ( n=211, 93%) cause of this condition. c.729_730insTT, c.1106G>A and c.914T>C were the three most frequent mutations in MMUT gene. The frequency of c.914T>C in early-onset patients was significantly higher than that in late-onset patients (8.3% (18/216) vs. 1.6% (1/64), χ 2=3.859, P=0.037). Metabolic crisis was more frequent in mut type than the other types (72.6% (114/157) vs. 3/13, χ 2=13.729, P=0.001),developmental delay and hypotonia were less frequent in mut type (38.2% (60/157) vs. 9/13, 25.5% (40/157) vs. 8/13, χ 2=4.789, 7.705, P=0.030, 0.006). Of the 58 patients identified by newborn screening, 44 patients (75.9%) who were treated from asymptomatic phase developed normally whereas 14 patients (24.1%) who received treatment after developing symptoms exhibited varying degrees of psychomotor retardation. Conclusions:The characteristics of phenotypes and genotypes among Chinese patients with isolated methylmalonic acidemia were analyzed. Expanded the mutation spectrum of the associated genes. Because of the complex clinical manifestations and severe early onset of isolated methylmalonic acidemia, Newborn screening is crucial for early diagnosis and improvement of prognosis. MMUT gene is recommended for carrier screening as an effort to move the test earlier as a part of the primary prevention of birth defects.

Objective To evaluate the effects of the two methods of propaganda and education, conventional training method and that combined with hand contamination survey method, on the medical and nursing staffs' hand hygiene compliance. Methods From October 2017 to April 2018, all medical and nursing staffs in 6 Departments:General Surgery Ⅰ, General Surgery Ⅱ, Orthopedics Ⅰ, Orthopedics Ⅱ, Internal Medicine Ⅰ and Internal Medicine Ⅲin Cangnan Second People's Hospital receiving health education were divided into two groups; both groups received routine training, while in the observation group, on the basis of routine training, the hand hygiene pollution investigation training mode was added, In the combined training method, when the wrong hand hygiene mode occurred, the hand specimens were collected and the correct hand washing method was instructed on the spot, and then the following hand specimens were taken to investigate the contaminated condition. One month before the training, the real situations of hand hygiene compliance in the two groups were investigated. In the 1st month after the beginning of training, both groups were cultivated by conventional propaganda and training methods. From the second month to the sixth month, the observation group was additionally trained to investigate hand hygiene pollution situation on the basis of conventional propaganda and training methods. After 6 months, the compliance rates of hand hygiene in the two groups were observed. Results Before training, there was no significant differences in the compliance rate of hand hygiene in the observation group and the routine trainning group [37.14% (52/140) vs. 36.36% (48/132), P > 0.05]. The compliance rates of hand hygiene after 1, 2, 3 months of training in the observation group were 56.61% (77/136), 60.61% (80/132) and 61.20% (82/134), respectively, and those in the routine trainning group were 56.25% (72/128), 59.26% (80/135) and 58.70% (81/138), which were all significantly higher than those before the training (all P < 0.05), but there were no statistical significant differences between the two groups (all P > 0.05). From the 4th month to the 6th month after training, the compliance rates of hand hygiene in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the observation group [61.97% (88/142) vs. 49.23% (64/130), 62.50% (80/128) vs. 47.73% (63/132), 62.31% (81/130) vs. 46.03% (58/126)], the differences between the two groups being statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The routine training combined with hand contamination investigation survey training for consecutive 3 months can nicely promote the improvement of hand hygiene compliance of medical and nursing staffs.
