Fetal malformation of cortical development(MCD)is a group of structural neurological disorders caused by abnormalities in development of cortical layer during embryogenesis,characterized by significant heterogeneity and diversity,which may lead to adverse clinical outcomes such as epilepsy and intellectual disabilities.The progresses in prenatal evaluation on fetal MCD were reviewed in this article.

Evolocumab is a lipid-lowering agent used to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and decrease the all-cause mortality rate of cardiovascular diseases.There are few ocular adverse reactions when the drug is used clinically.This article reports a case of primary angle-closure glaucoma.After three sessions of lipid-lowering treatment with the proprotein convertase subtilisin type 9(PCSK9)inhibitor Evolocumab,the patient developed swelling and pain in the left eye and blurred vision.Ophthalmic examination revealed a significant increase in intraocular pressure in the left eye,suggesting an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma.After treatment,the intraocular pressure dropped to the normal level.This article discusses this case and reviews relevant literature,suggesting that when using PCSK9 inhibitors in clinical practice,the ocular conditions of patients should be closely monitored,especially for those with risk factors for glaucoma.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of training physicians from secondary comprehensive hospitals in the clinical assessment of brain death and to provide recommendations for nationwide implementation.Methods:This prospective cohort study enrolled physicians who completed standardized training in clinical brain death determination at five pilot hospitals between June and December 2023. Participants were from internal medicine, neurology, critical care, emergency, or anesthesiology departments of secondary comprehensive hospitals and had ≥5 years of clinical experience. Organ donation coordinators and surgeons involved in organ donation or transplantation were excluded. The training program comprised four modules: didactic lectures, bedside demonstrations, simulation-based practice, and written theoretical assessment with review. The theoretical assessment was considered qualified if the score was 60 or above. Participants were categorized into ≥80 and <80 groups based on assessment scores. Between-group comparisons were conducted using rank-sum or chi-square tests.Results:A total of 191 physicians from 74 secondary comprehensive hospitals were enrolled. Most held a bachelor's degree [89.5%(171/191)] and had intermediate [47.1%(90/191)] or associate senior [36.1%(69/191)] professional titles; [59.7%(114/191)] were from non-neurology specialties. The overall pass rate was 99.5% (190/191), with a mean score of 82.4±7.1. Compared with those scoring<80 (56 participants), physicians scoring ≥80 (135 participants) differed significantly by professional title, province, and department ( P=0.014, 0.019 and 0.039). The proportion scoring<80 was higher among junior/intermediate versus senior titles [38.0%(41/108) vs 18.1%(15/83), P=0.003), and among non-neurology/critical care departments (emergency, internal medicine, anesthesiology) versus neurology/critical care [39.7%(31/78) vs 22.1%(25/113), P=0.009]. Only 2.09%(4/191) achieved a perfect score. Across all test items, the overall error rate was 14.99%(700/4 670). The five knowledge points with the highest error rates were mistriggering of mechanical ventilation [96.97%(32/33)], corneal reflex [42.25%(30/71)], spinal reflexes [24.25%(65/268)], documentation of the determination [21.21%(7/33)], and the apnea test procedure [20.73%(57/275)]. Conclusions:The pilot hospitals can effectively deliver clinical training for brain death determination, supporting nationwide promotion. However, physicians' theoretical grounding in neurology at secondary comprehensive hospitals appears relatively weak. Training curricula should be optimized to further improve training quality.

Objective:To explore the effects of constraint-induced movement therapy combined with active vestibular reha-bilitation training on upper limb function,muscle tone and balance function in children with spastic hemiplegia.Method:A total of 40 children with spastic hemiplegia in our hospital from January to November 2023 were selected,and they were divided into control group(n=20)and experimental group(n=20)by random number table method.The control group received conventional upper limb constraint-induced movement therapy,while the experimental group received conventional upper limb constraint-induced movement therapy and active vestib-ular rehabilitation training for 12 weeks.They were assessed with Fine Motor Function Measure(FMFM),Mod-ified Ashworth Scale(MAS)and Berg Balance Scale before and after treatment.Result:After 12 weeks of intervention,the FMFM score,MAS score and Berg score were improved in the two groups,and the FMFM score and Berg score in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group with significant difference(P<0.05).There were no statistically significant difference in the reduc-tion of MAS score grade when compared with the control group(P>0.05).Conclusion:Active vestibular rehabilitation training combined with constraint-induced movement therapy can en-hance children's interest in training,reduce upper limb muscle tone,and effectively improve upper limb motor function and balance function in children with spastic hemiplegia,which has a certain clinical value.

Objective To understand the dilemma and coping experience of pediatric nurses participating in medication safety management,so as to provide a reference for improving the quality of medication safety management.Methods This study was a descriptive phenomenological study.The puiposive sampling method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with 21 pediatric nurses from in a tertiary A hospital in Nanjing from January to February 2024.The interview data were extracted,coded,cluster screened,interpreted and verified by the Colaizzi seven-step analysis method.Results In terms of the dilemmas of pediatric nurses involved in medication safety management,there were 3 themes,including knowledge and skills,environment and resources,understanding and cooperation,and 7 sub-themes.In terms of coping experience of pediatric nurses involved in medication safety management dilemma,there were 3 themes,including responsibility and emotion,communication and collaboration,system and supervision,and 4 sub-themes.Conclusion Pediatric nurses will encounter various difficulties and actively adopt various coping strategies when participating in medication safety management.It is recommended that nursing managers strengthen education and training,quality management,continuously improve nurses'safety responsibility awareness and empathy ability,encourage parents of children to participate in medication safety management,and actively improve the pediatric working environment,continuously strengthen organizational support,and promote communication and collaboration to ensure medication safety.

Objective To construct a theoretical model of venous thromboembolism(VTE)risk perception in pregnant women,so as to provide a scientific basis for promoting pregnant women to form a correct risk perception of VTE and actively take preventive behaviors.Methods A qualitative research approach guided by the procedural grounded theoiy was adopted.Data were collected by a semi-structured deep interview on 18 pregnant women who received prenatal examination in the outpatient department of a tertiary A obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Nanjing from June to July 2023,and the data were analyzed by three-level coding and continuous comparison method.Results The VTE risk perception of pregnant women was affected by 6 factors including social coupling system,self health status,life behavior habits,knowledge on disease,compliance behavior and emotional stimulation.Pregnant women perceived VTE risk from 3 aspects:threats to maternal and child safety,increased family economic burden and increased time cost,impact on social roles.Thus,3 health behavior decisions were formed,including taking preventive behaviors,overcoming implementation barriers,and seeking knowledge behaviors,in order to reduce their own risk of VTE,and prevent the occurrence of VTE.Conclusion The theoretical model of VTE risk perception of pregnant women can guide medical staff to comprehensively consider the influencing factors of VTE risk perception of pregnant women,optimize the form and content of VTE health education,give pregnant women individualized and sustainable VTE prevention guidance,and strengthen pregnant women's perception of VTE risk and the benefits of preventive behavior,so as to actively take the correct health behavior decisions.
