Objective:To retrieve, evaluate and summarize the best evidence on the use of bedside ultrasound by ICU nurses to assess the lungs of adult critically ill patients, and to provide a reference for clinical practice and the construction of related processes and protocols.Methods:Based on the "6S" pyramid model, a computer-based search was conducted on relevant computer decision support system, guideline networks, professional associations, and domestic and international databases, the search time limit was from the establishment of the database to June 5, 2024. The panel members who had been trained in the evidence-based course evaluated the included literature with corresponding tools, extracted evidence according to the theme.Results:Twenty-five papers were finally included, including 6 guidelines, 8 expert consensus, 2 expert opinion, 3 clinical decision-making, 3 systematic evaluation, and 3 randomized controlled trials. A total of 35 pieces of evidence were formed from 4 aspects, including personnel training, operation specifications, clinical application (including dyspnea screening, intervention implementation, efficacy evaluation, diaphragm function evaluation) and precautions.Conclusions:The best evidence for lung assessment and intervention in adult critically ill patients based on bedside ultrasound can provide a reference for the adjustment and decision-making of nursing measures for adult critically ill patients. In the subsequent process of evidence transformation, attention should be paid to combining clinical practice and the joint cooperation of medical staff.

Objective To explore the polymorphism of tyrosinase (TYR) and melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) genes and their mRNA expression levels in relation to coat-color phenotypes in guinea pigs, providing genetic markers for locating dominant traits in guinea pigs. Methods A total of 57 self-bred ordinary-level guinea pigs were selected and divided into three groups based on coat color: white (n=22), variegated (n=22) and black (n=13). The guinea pigs were euthanized with an overdose of pentobarbital sodium via intraperitoneal injection. DNA was then extracted from the dorsal skin tissue. Polymorphism in the coding sequence (CDS) of the exons of the TYR and MC1R genes in each group was detected by cloning and sequencing. The mRNA expression of the two genes in skin tissues was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR to investigate the relationship between these genes and guinea pig coat color. Results A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site was found in the CDS region of TYR exon Ⅰ, where the base A was replaced by G. All white guinea pigs had the G/G genotype for TYR, while no deep-colored (variegated and black) guinea pigs exhibited the G/G genotype for TYR. Most deep-colored guinea pigs had the A/A genotype, and a few had A/G genotype. The A/A genotype frequency in black guinea pigs was higher than in variegated guinea pigs. A 2 760 bp sequence deletion was identified in the exon of the MC1R gene, marked as the - gene, with non-deleted samples marked as N gene. Most white guinea pigs had the -/- genotype for MC1R, variegated guinea pigs mainly had the -/N genotype, and black guinea pigs mainly had the N/N genotype, with a few showing the -/N. The TYR gene expression level was higher in white guinea pigs, lower in variegated guinea pigs, and intermediate in black guinea pigs, but there was no significant difference among the three groups (P>0.05). The MC1R gene expression level in white guinea pigs was extremely low, while both variegated and black guinea pigs showed significantly higher levels than white guinea pigs (P<0.01). Black guinea pigs showed significantly higher levels than variegated guinea pigs (P<0.05). ConclusionThe TYR and MC1R genes synergistically regulate coat color of guinea pigs. The G-site mutation in the TYR gene may lead to albinism, and the change of N-site in the MC1R gene affects the depth of the coat color.

Objective:To construct a postoperative nursing plan for liver transplant recipients using the NANDA international, nursing outcomes classification, nursing intervention classification (NANDA-I-NOC-NIC) link (referred to as NNN-link) as the theoretical framework, so as to optimize the nursing process after liver transplantation and improve the quality of nursing.Methods:This study retrospectively collected nursing diagnoses with a postoperative usage rate of over 50% from 300 liver transplant recipients at Shulan (Hangzhou) Hospital from January 2019 to December 2021, and matched nursing outcomes and measures based on the NNN-link theory framework. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and group discussion, the entry content was rated, discussed, and modified to form the final version of the postoperative NNN-link for liver transplant recipients.Results:In two rounds of expert consultation, the recovery rates were 96.67% (29/30) and 100.00% (29/29) , respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.83 and 0.84, respectively. The Kendall harmony coefficients for the second round were 0.50, 0.38, 0.35. The final postoperative NNN-link for liver transplant recipients included 15 nursing diagnoses, 42 nursing outcomes, and 106 nursing measures.Conclusions:The process of constructing the postoperative NNN-link for liver transplant recipients is scientific and reasonable, and the entries are highly specialized, which can provide reference for clinical nursing after liver transplantation.

Objective To analyze the research hotspots in the field of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patient care at home and abroad in the past 10 years,aiming to provide a reference for related research. Methods Literature related to ECMO nursing collected in CNKI and Web of Science (WOS) databases from January 2013 to July 2023 was searched,journals and key words were visualized by CiteSpace software. Results A total of 192 foreign literatures and 730 Chinese literatures were included. In recent 10 years,the number of papers in the field of ECMO nursing at home and abroad has been on the rise. According to the visual analysis of China's publishing institutions. The visual analysis of key words in the field of nursing showed that the research in the field of ECMO patient care focuses on critical diseases related to the respiratory system and circulatory system. The research focused on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),prone ventilation,emergency nursing,etc. Conclusions Research hotspots in the field of ECMO patient care in China are changing dynamically with the development of social medicine,but the overall quality of research is low. It is necessary to strengthen the in-depth cooperation between various institutions in the field of ECMO patient care,learn from foreign experience,and promote the quality of ECMO nursing.
