Objective To explore the potential contributors and obstacles of evidence translation for airway hu-midification management in hospitalized patients with laryngectomy tracheostomy and non-mechanical ventilation,so as to provide references for clinical evidence-based practice.Methods An interview outline and questionnaire were developed according to the consolidated framework for implementation research(CFIR).Using purposive sampling,12 healthcare professionals from Department of Otorhinolaryngology,Head and Neck Surgery of a tertiary hospital in Shanxi Province were recruited for semi-structured interviews,and thematic analysis was applied to extract main themes.The interview themes were transformed into survey items,and a survey was conducted among 42 healthcare professionals in the same department.Results Totally 16 contributors and 20 obstacles were identified across 4 domains:the credibility of the evidence and research team,the external support environment for evidence-based practice,the internal conditions for evidence-based practice,and the role recognition of implementers.Contributors include efficient internal collaboration and communication,and rigorous processes for evidence acquisition.Obstacles include insufficient educational resources,low patient knowledge acceptance capacity,lack of professional value a-mong healthcare staff.Conclusion Evidence translation of the humidification management for patients with non-mechanical ventilation after laryngectomy and tracheostomy was influenced by various factors.Future efforts should focus on constructing targeted airway humidification education content and an evaluation index system,and enhanc-ing the professional value and practical leadership of nursing staff.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of adult patients with phytosterolemia presenting with thrombocytopenia as the initial manifestation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on eight adult patients with phytosterolemia who visited Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from December 2020 to December 2023.Results:① The participants consisted of 2 (25%) male and 6 (75%) female patients, with a median age at diagnosis of 55 years (range: 29-66 years). The median duration from the discovery of thrombocytopenia to diagnosis was 10 years (range: 0.2-50 years). ② Compared with the normal control group (30 healthy adult volunteers) and the immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) control group (20 patients with ITP), patients with phytosterolemia exhibited significantly higher mean platelet volume and large platelet ratio. Peripheral blood smears revealed that the mean platelet diameter and the proportion of large platelets (diameter> 4 μm) were significantly higher in patients with phytosterolemia than those in the normal and ITP control groups ( P<0.01). ③ After a low-plant-sterol diet and ezetimibe treatment, five patients demonstrated decreased serum sitosterol and campesterol levels, increased hemoglobin concentration and platelet counts, and reduced platelet volume. Conclusion:Adult-onset phytosterolemia presenting with thrombocytopenia as the initial manifestation is prone to misdiagnosis. The presence of hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, increased large platelets and schistocytes on peripheral blood smears, and xanthomas are crucial diagnostic indicators. Restricting dietary plant sterol intake and using ezetimibe to inhibit sterol absorption effectively lowers serum plant sterol levels and improves hematological abnormalities.

BACKGROUND:Electrical stimulation is an effective treatment plan for peripheral nerve injuries,but different frequencies of electrical stimulation have different mechanisms and applications for promoting peripheral nerve recovery.OBJECTIVE:To systematically sort out and summarize the roles and applications of different frequencies of electrical stimulation in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries,and to deeply analyze the advantages and disadvantages of various methods in order to find the most beneficial treatment strategy for patients'nerve recovery.METHODS:Computer-based searches were conducted in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and PubMed databases from the inception of the databases to May 2024.The search terms included"peripheral nerve injury,electrical stimulation,low frequency electrical stimulation,medium frequency electrical stimulation,high frequency electrical stimulation,TENS,interfering electricity,short wave,ultrashort wave,frequency"in both English and Chinese.Ultimately,74 relevant documents were included for analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Peripheral nerve injury,a common clinical disease,can cause sensory and motor dysfunction in patients.Low-frequency electrical stimulation can promote cell proliferation and accelerate the expression of nerve growth factor within the cell after electrical stimulation,promote macrophage recruitment and infiltration,accelerate the clearance of myelin debris,and promote myelin regeneration of damaged axons.Medium-frequency electrical stimulation can act on deeper tissues and is better for relieving neuropathic pain.High-frequency electrical stimulation can promote the proliferation of Schwann cells and macrophages,inhibit inflammatory factors,and rapidly recruit cells to the site of nerve injury,accelerating the speed of nerve repair.Different frequencies of electrical stimulation have their own advantages in promoting the recovery of peripheral nerve injuries,but there are still some issues,such as differences in the site of electrical stimulation and the treatment plans for various disease types.

Objective To explore the trajectory of psychological symptom clusters in pregnant women with assisted reproductive technology(ART),and analyze the influencing factors of each trajectory subgroups,in order to provide a theoretical basis for the management of psychological health during pregnancy in pregnant women with ART.Methods A total of 205 pregnant women who had conceived using ART were sampled from the obstetrics clinic of a tertiary hospital in Nanjing from August 2023 to April 2024 using a convenient sampling method.The baseline data were assessed by general information questionnaire,Symptom Checklist-90,Distress Disclosure Index and Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire at 10-14 weeks gestation,and the follow-up information was assessed by Symptom Checklist-90 at 22-26 weeks of gestation and 34-38 weeks of gestation.Exploratory factor analysis was used to extract symptom clusters;the latent class growth mixture model was used to identify the track categories;the multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the track.Results 180 cases were finally included.By exploratory factor analysis,5,4 and 5 factors were extracted at 3 time points respectively.Trajectories of psychological symptom clusters in pregnant women with ART is divided into 3 potential classes:low level-slow relieving group(28.89％),high level-significant increasing group(6.11％),medium level-slow increasing group(65.00％).Logistic regression analyses showed that duration of infertility,number of ART,literacy,pain self-expression and positive psychological capital were influential factors in the potential categories of psychological symptom clusters in pregnant women conceived with ART(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The trajectory of psychological symptom clusters in pregnant women with ART was divided into 3 potential classes.Medical workers could develop corresponding interventions based on the influencing factors and implement comprehensive and efficient symptom management.

Objective:To comprehensively identify, describe and evaluate the research evidence on the application of ERAS in perioperative head and neck cancer by using the method of evidence mapping, so as to understand the research status and provide reference for clinical practice and future research in this field.Methods:Adopting an evidence-integrated research approach, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were searched by computer. In addition, relevant references and grey literature databases such as OpenGrey were manually searched until August 25, 2024, to screen and summarize the included literature, and different quality evaluation tools were used to evaluate the quality of the included studies. The present research situation was presented with text and graphs.Results:A total of 105 articles were included, including 101 original studies and 4 systematic reviews/Meta-analyses. The number of published literature showed an increasing trend over time, but it fluctuated in a zigzag pattern. The most published studies were in China, and the study population was mainly patients with laryngeal and oral cancer, with a sample size of 51-100 cases. The results of methodology quality evaluation showed that the quality of most studies was relatively low. The intervention measures mainly involved 9 subjects, such as pre-rehabilitation, nutritional support, prevention of nausea and vomiting, and the outcome indicators involved 2 aspects related to patients and hospital. More attention was paid to outcome indicators such as complication rate and length of stay, while less attention was paid to outcome indicators such as condition of sputum and survival time. Most outcome effects were shown to be "beneficial", but some outcome effects were still controversial.Conclusions:ERAS has generally shown positive effects in perioperative application of head and neck cancer, but the quality of most studies is low. More high-quality clinical studies are needed in the future to provide more sufficient evidence for the application of ERAS in this field.
