ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical treatment plan and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) medication rule of children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) in the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine. MethodsThe gender and age of children firstly diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome in the pediatric nephrology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from November 2019 to December 2022 were collected, and the use of immunosuppressive agents and related frequencies were counted. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, an independent TCM prescription database for children with nephrotic syndrome was established. Excel was used to analyze the relevant information of the literature. The frequency counting, association rule analysis, and cluster analysis were carried out on TCM in the prescription, and the high-frequent drugs were analyzed. Results(1) General information: A total of 711 children were included, consisting of 522 males (73.42%) and 189 females (26.58%). The ratio of male to female was about 2.76∶1. The disease mainly occurred in infants and preschool age, and the average age of onset was (4.74 ± 3.48) years old. (2) Clinical treatment plan and use of immunosuppressive agents: Of the 711 children with PNS, 237 were treated with hormone alone (32.33%), and 474 (66.67%) received immunosuppressive agents combined with hormones. In the initial treatment, hormone combined with Tacrolimus (TAC) was the preferred treatment (32.91%). For children with refractory PNS who exhibited poor clinical efficacy, Rituximab (RTX) was mostly used for treatment, with a ratio of up to 23.63%. (3) TCM syndrome and medication rule: In PNS syndrome differentiation, Qi and Yin deficiency was identified as the main syndrome. This involved a total of 477 cases, accounting for 67.09%. Yang deficiency of spleen and kidney was observed in 118 cases, accounting for 16.60%. A total of 711 children were included, of which 706 children were treated with TCM. This involved a total of 706 prescriptions, 226 TCM, and 9 793 frequencies. There were 30 herbs used more than 95 times. The top five TCM were Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae (81.16%), Radix Astragali (71.81%), Poria (68.84%), Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae (63.60%), and Fructus Corni (57.37%). The drug association rules and network diagram showed that the combination of ''Radix Astragali-Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae-Poria'' was the closest, and five types of combinations were obtained by cluster analysis. ConclusionIn the diagnosis and treatment of PNS in children, TAC combined with hormones shows good clinical efficacy and high safety. For children with refractory PNS, RTX combined with hormones can be used. TCM medication for PNS should follow the basic principles of strengthening the body and vital Qi and make good use of drugs such as Radix Astragali, Poria, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and cornus to regulate the Yin and Yang balance and achieve better clinical efficacy.

[Objective] To explore the relationship between neutrophil activation under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the incidence of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI). [Methods] This prospective cohort study enrolled adult patients who scheduled for cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital between May 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023. The primary outcome was acute kidney injury (AKI). Blood samples (5 mL) were obtained from the central vein before surgery, at rewarming, at the end of CPB, and 24 hours after surgery. Neutrophils were labeled with CD11b, CD54 and other markers. To assess the effect of neutrophils activation on AKI, propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to equilibrate covariates between the groups. [Results] A total of 120 patients included into the study, and 17 (14.2%) developed AKI. Both CD11b+ and CD54+ neutrophils significantly increased during the rewarming phase and the increases were kept until 24 hours after surgery. During rewarming, the numbers of CD11b+ neutrophils were significantly higher in AKI compared to non-AKI (4.71×109/L vs 3.31×109/L, Z=-2.14, P<0.05). Similarly, the CD54+ neutrophils counts were also significantly higher in AKI than in non-AKI before surgery (2.75×109/L vs 1.79×109/L, Z=-2.99, P<0.05), during rewarming (3.12×109/L vs 1.62×109/L, Z=-4.34, P<0.05), and at the end of CPB (4.28×109/L vs 2.14×109/L, Z=-3.91, P<0.05). An analysis of 32 matched patients (16 in each group) revealed that CD11b+ and CD54+ neutrophil levels of AKI were 1.74 folds (4.83×109/L vs 2.77×109/L, Z=-2.72, P<0.05) and 2.34 folds (3.32×109/L vs 1.42×109/L, Z=-4.12, P<0.05), respectively, of non-AKI at rewarming phase. [Conclusion] Neutrophils are activated during CPB, and they can be identified by CD11b/CD54 markers. The activated neutrophils of AKI patients are approximately 2 folds of non-AKI during the rewarming phase, with disparity reached peak between groups during rewarming. These findings suggest the removal of 50% of activated neutrophils during the rewarming phase may be effective to reduce the risk of AKI.

OBJECTIVE To explore the potential mechanism of ketamine-induced cognitive impairment in mice based on metabolomics. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group and ketamine group (25 mg/kg), with 12 mice in each group. Each group of mice was intraperitoneally injected with normal saline or corresponding drugs, 4 times a day, for 10 consecutive days. On the last 2 days of drug administration, the cognitive behavior was evaluated by Y maze and novel object recognition test, and the histopathological changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) were observed. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technology was used to analyze the changes of metabolites in PFC, screen for differential metabolites, and perform pathway enrichment analysis. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the morphology of PFC neurons in the ketamine group of mice was inconsistent. There were cavities around the nucleus, and the number of deeply stained cells increased. The mean optical density value of the Nissl staining positive area was significantly reduced, and the alternation rate and discrimination index were significantly reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the PFC tissue samples of mice of the two groups, there were a total of 114 differential metabolites, including 73 up-regulated and 41 down-regulated metabolites, including glutamine, succinic acid, ketoglutarate, and choline, etc. The differential metabolites mentioned above were mainly enriched in metabolism of alanine, aspartate and glutamate, metabolism of arginine and proline, γ aminobutyric acid synapses, pyrimidine metabolism, cholinergic synapses pathways, etc. CONCLUSIONS Ketamine can induce cognitive impairment in mice. Its neurotoxicity is related to abnormal synaptic transmission and energy metabolism, and neuroimmune regulation disorders.

Objective:To systematically integrate qualitative research on the real experience and management of cancer pain in adult cancer patients, so as to provide reference for improving the management of cancer pain in adult cancer patients and reducing their cancer pain.Methods:Qualitative research literature on the real experience and management of cancer pain in cancer patients was systematically searched in Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, ProQuest, Scopus, China Biomedical Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and VIP. The search period was from database establishment to August 2023. The literature was evaluated using the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. The aggregation Meta-synthesis method was used to integrate and summarize research results.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, and 78 results were extracted to form 11 categories, which were summarized into four integrated results of the cognitive status of adult cancer patients towards cancer pain, the impact of cancer pain on patients, self-management strategies for cancer pain, and medical experiences related to cancer pain.Conclusions:Adult cancer patients face obstacles in alleviating cancer pain, such as lack of awareness of cancer pain, negative impacts, inadequate self-management strategies, and poor medical experience. Patients need to improve their self-management strategies, and the country and medical institutions should provide comprehensive support to enable patients and clinical medical and nursing staff to manage cancer pain.

Objective:To explore the effect of nursing intervention based on the health action process approach (HAPA) theory on follow-up compliance and blood glucose management of patients with diabetes retinopathy (DR) .Methods:From October 2022 to May 2023, 102 DR patients who visited the Diabetes Fundus Clinic of Shanxi Eye Hospital were selected by convenience sampling as participants. A total of 51 patients who visited from October 2022 to January 2023 were selected as control group, and 51 patients who visited from February to May 2023 were selected as observation group. Control group received routine nursing, while observation group received nursing intervention based on HAPA theory on this basis. The follow-up compliance, Chinese version of the Compliance with Annual Diabetic Eye Exams Survey (CADEES-C) score, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2hPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were compared between the two groups.Results:The compliance of DR patients in observation group after six months of follow-up was higher than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). After six months, the CADEES-C dimension scores and total score of DR patients in observation group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). FBG and 2hPG of DR patients in observation group were lower than those in control group after three and six months, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After six months of intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in HbA1c between observation group and control group ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing interventions based on HAPA theory can effectively improve the follow-up compliance of DR patients, enhance their health beliefs during follow-up, and improve their blood glucose.
