ObjectiveTo explore the data standard system of electronic medical records in the field of rehabilitation, focusing on the terminology and coding standards, data structure, and key content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records. MethodsBased on the Administrative Norms for the Application of Electronic Medical Records issued by the National Health Commission of China, the electronic medical record standard architecture issued by the International Organization for Standardization and Health Level Seven (HL7), the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), Basic Architecture and Data Standards of Electronic Medical Records, Basic Data Set of Electronic Medical Records, and Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, the study constructed and organized the data structure, content, and data standards of rehabilitation electronic medical records. ResultsThe data structure of rehabilitation electronic medical records should strictly follow the structure of electronic medical records, including four levels (clinical document, document section, data set and data element) and four major content areas (basic information, diagnostic information, intervention information and cost information). Rehabilitation electronic medical records further integrated information related to rehabilitation needs and characteristics, emphasizing rehabilitation treatment, into clinical information. By fully applying the WHO-FICs reference classifications, rehabilitation electronic medical records could establish a standardized framework, diagnostic criteria, functional description tools, coding tools and terminology index tools for the coding, indexing, functional description, and analysis and interpretation of diseases and health problems. The study elaborated on the data structure and content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records in four major categories, refined the granularity of reporting rehabilitation content in electronic medical records, and provided detailed data reporting guidance for rehabilitation electronic medical records. ConclusionThe standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records is significant for improving the quality of rehabilitation medical services and promoting the rehabilitation process of patients. The development of rehabilitation electronic medical records must be based on the national and international standards. Under the general electronic medical records data structure and standards, a rehabilitation electronic medical records data system should be constructed which incorporates core data such as disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation interventions. The standardized rehabilitation electronic medical records scheme constructed in this study can support the improvement of standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records data information.

Medical ultrasound technology is widely used for diagnosis and therapy in clinical practice.Ultrasound probes,which are directly contact with patients,pose a potential risk of pathogen transmission.This expert consen-sus was developed by a multidisciplinary team based on international guidelines,standards in China,and the results of a national survey,aiming to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infection through standardizing reprocessing of medical ultrasound probes,and formulating consensus recommendations with the Delphi method.The consensus clarifies the reprocessing principles for three types of ultrasound probes of different infection risks:external-use ul-trasound probes,interventional percutaneous ultrasound probes,and internal-use ultrasound probes,puts forward systematic suggestions on the reprocessing standards and disinfection levels of ultrasound probe isolation covers and coupling agents,the reprocessing procedures and methods of ultrasound probes,as well as architectural layout and management of reprocessing,so as to provide a scientific prevention and control framework for ensuring ultrasound diagnosis and therapy safety.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the potential causal relationship between intervertebral disc degeneration and certain autoimmune diseases. METHODS: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data of 5 autoimmune diseases were obtained from large-scale GWAS databases. Data on internal vertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) were derived from the FinnGen consortium, which included 294, 770 controls and 41, 669 cases. A two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to investigate the potential causal relationship between the 5 autoimmune diseases and IVDD. Multiple analytical methods were adopted, including MR methods such as inverse variance weighting(IVW), MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode. Cochran's Q test, leave-one-out analysis, and MR-Egger intercept test were conducted to assess heterogeneity, robustness, and pleiotropy. For the robustness of the results, MR-PRESSO was used to detect outliers, and MR analysis was re-conducted after removing the outliers. RESULTS: The MR analysis results showed that there might be a bidirectional causal relationship between ankylosing spondylitis(AS) and IVDD:AS on IVDD, OR=1.038, 95%CI (1.024, 1.053), P=0.000;and IVDD on AS, OR=2.117, 95%CI(1.065, 4.207), P=0.032. There might be a positive correlation between IVDD and rheumatoid arthritis(RA) as well as systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE):IVDD on RA, OR=1.184, 95%CI(1.071, 1.309), P=0.001;and IVDD on SLE, OR=1.678, 95%CI(1.187, 2.372), P=0.003. There was no significant correlation between ulcerative colitis(UC), autoimmune thyroiditis(ATD) and IVDD. After removing outliers by MR-PRESSO and re-conducting MR analysis, the results did not change qualitatively. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the results were robust to potential sources of bias. CONCLUSION AS and IVDD may be risk factors for each other, and IVDD may be a potential risk factor for RA and SLE. These findings provide a basis for guiding the prevention and combined diagnosis and treatment of IVDD, AS, RA, and SLE, while the specific underlying mechanisms still require further experimental basic research.

With the widespread adoption of lung cancer screening, an increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. For stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma, sublobar resection is the primary treatment approach. However, in patients with concomitant spread through air space (STAS), numerous studies advocate for lobectomy as the mainstay of treatment. Due to the limitations in preoperative prediction and intraoperative frozen section evaluation for assessing STAS, current research is largely restricted to using clinical and imaging features to predict STAS occurrence, with results that are inconsistent and unsatisfactory. Furthermore, most studies focus on individual clinical or imaging characteristics, and there is a lack of large-sample investigations. The rise of artificial intelligence in recent years has provided new insights into solving this problem, and existing studies have shown that artificial intelligence demonstrates better performance in STAS prediction compared to conventional methods. This article reviews the value of artificial intelligence in predicting STAS.

Objective To investigate the intervention effect of Xiao'er Zhixiao Pingchuan Granules(XEZXPCG)on ovalbumin(OVA)-induced airway remodeling in asthmatic mice and its potential mechanism by regulating macrophage migration inhibitory factor(MIF)and inhibiting the phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(Akt)signaling pathway.Methods A total of 96 SPF-grade male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into blank,model,XEZXPCG low/medium/high-dose groups(2.05,4.10,and 8.20 g/kg),adeno-associated virus(AAV)NC shRNA,AAV MIF shRNA(MIF gene silencing),and LY294002(PI3K/Akt inhibitor,1 mg/kg)groups(12 mice in each group).Asthma models were established through OVA sensitization and challenge.Airway resistance and the proportions of inflammatory cells(eosinophils and macrophages)in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were detected.Serum inflammatory factor(OVA-IgE,interleukin[IL]-1β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-alpha,and interferon-gamma)levels and BALF were quantified.Hematoxylin and eosin,Masson,and periodic acid-Schiff staining were used to evaluate airway wall thickness(Wat/Phm),smooth muscle area(Wam/Phm),collagen deposition,and goblet cell metaplasia.Western blotting,immunofluorescence,and real-time fluorescence-qPCR were used to detect MIF protein and mRNA expressions,as well as activation markers of the PI3K/Akt pathway and cell cycle-related proteins(including cyclin-dependant kinase 6[CDK6],Cyclin D1,Cyclin D3,and p21),in lung tissues.Results Compared to the model group,a XEZXPCG medium or high-dose significantly reduced airway resistance(P<0.05),improved the imbalance of eosinophil and macrophage proportions in BALF,and decreased inflammatory factor levels in serum and BALF(P<0.05).XEZXPCG medium or high-dose alleviated airway epithelial damage,goblet cell hyperplasia,and collagen fiber deposition,and reduced the Wat/Phm and Wam/Phm(P<0.05),with effects comparable to those of the AAV MIF shRNA and LY294002 groups.XEZXPCG medium and high-inhibited MIF protein/mRNA expression(P<0.05),downregulated Akt phosphorylation(P<0.05),upregulated p21 protein expression,and downregulated Cyclin D1,Cyclin D3,and CDK6 expressions(P<0.05).Conclusion XEZXPCG alleviates airway inflammation and improves airway remodeling in OVA-induced asthmatic mice by inhibiting MIF expression,downregulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,and regulating cell cycle progression.XEZXPCG enhances airway remodeling through MIF-mediated PI3K/Akt pathway regulation.

Objective:To establish a microfluidic chip-based digital PCR (cdPCR) method for detecting hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA and evaluate its application in patients with chronic HBV infection.Methods:A total of 135 patients with chronic HBV infection were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University and stratified into two groups based on HBV DNA levels: HBV DNA>100 IU/ml ( n=85) and HBV DNA≤100 IU/ml ( n=50). Additionally, healthy individuals and subjects infected with other viruses ( n=15) served as controls. Primers and probes targeting the HBV pre-C/C region were designed to optimize the microfluidic cdPCR method, and its linear range, limit of detection (LOD), specificity, and precision were assessed. Serum HBV RNA levels were measured using the self-developed method and two commercial kits. Pearson correlation was applied to evaluate the relationships between HBV RNA and other HBV markers. Results:The optimized microfluidic cdPCR method featured a denaturation time of 10 seconds, an annealing/extension temperature of 62 ℃, and primer and probe concentrations of 0.3 μmol/L and 0.2 μmol/L, respectively. The method demonstrated a linear range of 103-10? copies/ml and an LOD of 102 copies/ml. The intra-assay coefficient of variation ( CV) for plasmid standards at 10? and 10? copies/ml were 1.06% and 0.82%, respectively, while the inter-assay CVs were 0.75% and 0.44%. Specificity analysis confirmed the absence of positive signals in sera from healthy controls and subjects infected with other pathogens. In the HBV DNA>100 IU/ml group, the detection rate of the self-developed cdPCR method was 81.18% (69/85), significantly higher than the 64.71% (55/85) achieved by commercial kit B ( P<0.016 7). However, in the HBV DNA≤100 IU/ml group, no significant differences were observed among the three methods ( P>0.05). HBV RNA levels were positively correlated with HBV DNA ( r=0.67), hepatitis B surface antigen ( r=0.53), and hepatitis B e antigen ( r=0.44) (all P<0.001). Conclusion:A microfluidic cdPCR assay for the quantitative detection of HBV RNA has been successfully developed. This assay demonstrates high sensitivity, specificity, and robust detection capability, even for low HBV DNA-concentration samples.

Objective:To investigate the laboratory diagnostic value of 5 new blood routine indexes in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The retrospective study included 65 patients with chronic HBV infection, 72 patients with liver cirrhosis and 163 patients with HCC recruited at Liver Disease Center in First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, as well as 52 healthy controls recruited from the Physical Examination Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from October 2022 to April 2023. Five new parameters [early granulated cell percent (EGC%), early granulated cell absolute count (EGC#), microcytic anemia factor (MAF), leukocyte estimate(corrected)from the DIFF optical channel (WDOP) and leukocyte estimate(corrected)from the NRBC optical channel (WNOP)] were detected by UniCel DxH 900 blood cell analyzer. Univariate analysis of the expression levels of the 5 new parameterswere compared among CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between the 5 new parameters and HBV-related markers in CHB and Child-Pugh score in liver cirrhosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and AUC were used to estimate the diagnostic capacity of the 5 new blood routine indexes in CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC.Results:In patients with CHB, the levels of EGC% ( Z=4.613, P<0.001) and EGC# ( Z=4.220, P<0.001) were higher than those of healthy controls; EGC# was positively correlated with HBsAg and HBeAg (both P<0.05). In patients with cirrhosis, the level of MAF ( Z=-4.928, P<0.001) was lower than that of healthy controls, and Child-Pugh score was found to be negatively correlated with MAF ( r=-0.349, P<0.05). In HCC patients, WDOP ( Z=2.45, P=0.017) and WNOP ( Z=2.90, P=0.017) levels were higher in patients with tumor volume>3 cm 3 than those in patients with volume ≤3 cm 3. The AUCs of combination of 5 new parameters to diagnose CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC were 0.901 (95% CI 0.830-0.973, P<0.001), 0.946 (95% CI 0.909-0.984, P<0.001), and 0.904 (95% CI 0.858-0.950, P<0.001). Conclusions:The 5 new parameters based on peripheral blood cell analysis have good clinical value in the diagnosis of CHB, liver cirrhosis and HCC diseases.

Objective To understand the experience of fall alertness in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to provide references for the development of targeted nursing intervention strategies.Methods 13 elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis,who were admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of a tertiary hospital in Guizhou Province from February to April 2024,were selected through purposive sampling.Phenomenological qualitative research methods were used,with semi-structured in-depth interviews.Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method,and themes were extracted.Results 3 main themes and 9 sub-themes were identified:the process of fall risk perception(reshaping fall risk cognition,establishing emotional coping mechanism,enhancing fall alertness effect),behavioral responses to fall alertness(creating a safe living environment,regularizing daily routine plan),and needs for fall prevention support(need for fall prevention knowledge,home rehabilitation care needs,intelligent device usage needs,psychosocial support needs).Conclusion Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the transformation process of fall risk perception in elderly rheumatoid arthritis patients,accurately identify patients'fall support needs in practice,and guide patients to adopt appropriate fall alert response behaviors through innovative fall demand support interaction paths and the construction of social support network systems,in order to improve patients'fall alertness and reduce their fall risk.

At present, robotic surgery system, as a cutting-edge technique in minimally invasive surgery, has become a crucial component in the training programs for outstanding surgeons. Given the relatively late start of this technique and immature faculty resources, there is an urgent need to optimize and improve the teaching philosophies and methodologies for robotic skill training in China, and Sino-foreign cooperation has emerged as a significant pathway to promote this reform. Taking the "International Robotic Surgery Training Center (IRSTC)" jointly established by The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and University of California as an example, this article provides a comprehensive analysis of collaboration background, construction of the training system, curriculum design, cooperation channels, and localization practices, in order to provide a reference and valuable experiences for Sino-foreign cooperation in clinical skill training.

Objective:To investigate the multiple mediating effects of anxiety and depression on the relationship between dietary nutri-tion and perimenopausal symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women.Methods:A total of 1129 middle-aged and older women were surveyed using a dietary nutrition status questionnaire,the modified Kupperman Index,the Patient Health Questionnaire-9,and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scale.The multiple mediating effect analysis was performed using the PROCESS macro in SPSS.Results:Dietary nutrition,anxiety,and depression were all significantly associated with perimenopausal symptoms(P<0.01).Dietary nutrition had a significant direct impact on perimenopausal symptoms(β=0.06,95%CI=0.002-0.119),and also exerted indirect nega-tive effects through three pathways:anxiety(β=0.059,95%CI=0.031-0.091),accounting for 29.65%of the total effect;depression(β=0.034,95%CI=0.017-0.054),accounting for 17.29%of the total effect;and anxiety-depression(β=0.045,95%CI=0.024-0.073),accounting for 22.76%of the total effect.Conclusion:Dietary nutrition not only directly affects perimenopausal symptoms,but also influences them through the mediating effects of anxiety and depression.
