Objective:To explore the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From August to September 2021, multi-stage sampling was used to select nurses from 20 stomatology hospitals in 7 geographical regions of North China, East China, South China, Central China, Southwest, Northeast, and Northwest China. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Turnover Intention Scale, Nursing Work Environment Scale, Psychological Capital Scale for Nurses, and Work Engagement Scale.Results:A total of 1 513 questionnaires were collected, including 1 135 valid questionnaires, with a valid rate of 75.02% (1 135/1 513). The total score of turnover intention among 1 135 dental outpatient nurses was (2.22±0.56). Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between nursing work environment, psychological capital, work engagement, and turnover intention ( r=-0.421, -0.340, -0.446; P<0.01). The structural equation model showed that the nursing work environment had a direct negative effect on the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses (β=-0.401, P<0.01) and had an indirect negative effect on turnover intention through work engagement (β=-0.106, P<0.01), with a mediating effect of 20.91%. Psychological capital had an indirect negative effect on the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses through work engagement (β=-0.271, P<0.01), with a mediating effect of 52.83%. Conclusions:The turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses is at a high level. Managers can reduce the turnover intention of dental clinic nurses by improving the nursing work environment, developing psychological capital, and increasing work engagement.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of digital reconstruction technology in assisted design of lobulated deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEPF) for surgical reconstruction of large defect in lower extremity.Methods:From January 2017 to January 2022, a study was carried out to retrospectively analyse 8 patients who had massive soft tissue defects in lower extremities were admitted in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of the 920 Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of Chinese PLA. The size of defects varied from 16.0 cm×12.0 cm-28.0 cm×22.0 cm. CTA scans were performed over abdominal aorta and the arteries of lower extremities. Three-dimensional model of DIEPF and vascular pedicles were reconstructed by Mimics software. According to the shape and size of the wound, targeted perforators were determined on the 3D images, and precisely mapped in a digitised rectangular coordinate system. The lobulated flap was then digitally designed in the 3D coordinate system. Flaps were harvested according to preoperative digital designs for the reconstruction of large defects in the lower extremities. The donor site was sutured directly. The flaps and recovery of lower extremities were observed though postoperative follow-ups and were conducted through visits of outpatient clinics and distance interviews via telephone and WeChat. Recoveries of lower extremities were evaluated using Maryland ankle-foot function scoring system.Results:The 3D reconstructed models of the vessels in donor sites were successfully completed for all patients. The harvests of lobulated DIEPF were successfully guided by the digital designs. Fifteen lobes of lobulated DIEPF survived successfully in all 8 patients. All donor sites were closed in the stage-I. Necrosis occurred at the distal tip of a lobulated flap due to a local venous occlusion, and healed after debridement and re-suture. Four patients received further flap debulking surgery. Time of postoperative follow-ups had ranged 15-27 months, with an average of 20 months. At the last follow-up, all the flaps had satisfactory appearance with linear scars at the donor sites. All fractures were healed. Five patients achieved Maryland's ankle-foot function score in excellent, 2 in good, and 1 was acceptable.Conclusion:Digital reconstruction technology can accurately map the perforators and reasonably assist the design of lobulated flaps. A lobulated DIEPF offers a wider area for flap excision and allows a primary closure of the donor sites. Combination of the 2 advantages of a lobulated DIEPF can be effectively applied in reconstruction of a large-sized defect in lower extremity.

Background:Celiac disease is an autoimmune enteropathy which can present with patchy mucosal lesions.Therefore,the diagnosis of the disease requires histological evaluation of multiple site biopsies.Aims:To analyze the pathological characteristics of multiple site small intestinal biopsies in adult patients with celiac disease and provide reference for early identification and diagnosis of celiac disease.Methods:The pathological data of 22 adult patients who were newly diagnosed as having celiac disease at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from August 2019 to April 2022 were collected retrospectively.All patients were positive for serum anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody IgA,and biopsies of duodenal bulb,descending part of the duodenum and terminal ileum were obtained under endoscopy.Histological examination was performed by experienced pathologists according to the modified Marsh grading system.Results:The most common pathological grade of duodenal bulb(50.0%)and descending part of the duodenum(45.5%)was Marsh Ⅲc,while those of terminal ileum was Marsh Ⅲa(63.6%).All of the bulb biopsies,95.5%of the descending part and 72.7%of the terminal ileum biopsies showed characteristic histological changes of celiac disease.Mucosal pathology was patchy in 7 patients,of which one patient was duodenal bulb and terminal ileum involved,and 6 were duodenum involved only.Fifteen patients had diffuse small intestinal mucosal pathology involving duodenal bulb,descending part and terminal ileum,of which 4 patients showed concordant histology(the same Marsh grade in duodenal bulb,descending part and terminal ileum)and 11 patients showed discordant histology.In 18 patients(81.8%),duodenum was the only affected site or duodenum showed more serious mucosal lesions compared with terminal ileum.Conclusions:Adult celiac disease may affect the whole small intestine,and the mucosal involvement may be patchy,which highlights the importance of taking small intestinal biopsies from multiple sites repeatedly in the diagnostic work-up of celiac disease.

Objective:To introduce the concept and procedures of precise flap surgery in construction of knee defects and to report the preliminary clinical outcomes.Methods:The data of 16 patients with knee defects at 17 sides were retrospectively analyzed who had been treated under the guidance of the concept of precise flap surgery at Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The 920th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA from August 2014 to March 2022. There were 12 males and 4 females, aged 44(34, 54) years. The wounds were at the left side in 8 cases, at the right side in 7 ones and at bilateral sides in one, and their sizes ranged from 5 cm×3 cm to 15 cm×11 cm. The time from injury to surgery was 8.5(6.0, 13.0) days. Optimal repair protocols were chosen after the donor and recipient sites were evaluated according to the methods of precise flap surgery: a retrograde anterolateral thigh flap in 7 sides, a descending genicular artery perforator flap in 3 ones, a saphenous artery flap in 2 ones, and a superior genicular lateral artery perforator flap, a popliteal artery perforator flap, a medial sural perforator propeller flap, a peroneal artery perforator propeller flap, and a randomized flap in one, respectively. The flap sizes ranged from 10 cm×6 cm to 15 cm×15 cm. The outcomes and complications of skin flap repair, and functional recovery of the affected limb were recorded.Results:All the flaps at 17 sides survived after surgery; 3 cases developed distal edge necrosis which responded to dressing change. The follow-ups for the 16 patients were 14.5(10.0, 28.0) months. All the flaps presented with good color, texture and contour. Flap bulking, local osteomyelitis, and scar ulcer was found in one case respectively. According to the revascularization assessments in the digital replantation criteria by Hand Surgery Society, Chinese Medical Association, all the flaps at 17 sides were excellent. Accoding to the knee functional evaluation of Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) at the last follow-up, the 17 affected limbs scored 86(80,91) points, yielding 9 excellent, 7 good and 1 fair sides.Conclusion:Although the defects and donor sites around the knee vary greatly, precise flap surgery may lead to effective control of the variations, choice of an optimal reconstruction protocol, and precise wound repair.

Objective:To adapt the clinical nursing practice guidelines for myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) to form high-quality localized evidence, so as to provide a basis for clinical knowledge transformation, and enable clinical practitioners to care for patients based on standards and evidence.Methods:We carried out guideline adaptation registration on the Practice Guideline Registration for Transparency. Guided by the ADAPTE method, evidence was searched and screened from top to bottom based on the "6S evidence pyramid" model. We conducted quality evaluation and content analysis on the included guidelines to extract, organize, and adapt recommendations on MPN clinical nursing practices. The search period was from September 2011 to September 2022.Results:A total of six evidence-based guidelines, six expert consensus guidelines, and four clinical decisions were included. A total of 40 recommendations were extracted, which were adapted into six Level Ⅰthemes for admission assessment, symptom management, risk factor management, medication management, treatment goal management, and follow-up management, as well as 19 Level Ⅱ themes.Conclusions:The guidelines included are of high overall quality, with rich, specific, and highly consistent recommendations, which can provide resource preparation for later evidence conversion. Some content still needs to be supplemented and expanded. It is recommended that scholars in this field develop comprehensive and specific clinical nursing practice guidelines based on clinical needs.

Objective:To introduce the methods of retrograde anterolateral thigh flaps in repairing anterior knee joint wounds under the concept of precise flap surgery and to explore the clinical effects.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From August 2014 to March 2022, 7 patients with anterior knee joint wounds were treated with retrograde anterolateral thigh flap under the guidance of the concept of precise flap surgery in the 920 th Hospital of Joint Logistic Support Force of PLA. Among them, 6 were males and 1 was female, aged 36 to 66 years. The sizes of wounds were 7 cm×5 cm to 15 cm×11 cm after debridement. All the patients were performed with computed tomography angiography (CTA), the donor and recipient sites were evaluated according to the precise flap surgery method, and the optimal pedicle, perforator, and pivot of flaps were chosen. The flap sizes were 10 cm×6 cm to 20 cm×9 cm, and all the donor sites of flaps were sutured directly. The consistency of the intraoperative exploration with preoperative CTA was observed. The flap survival and occurrence of complications were observed after surgery. The color, appearance, texture, and occurrence of complications were followed up. At the last follow-up, the blood supply of flaps was evaluated using the blood circulation evaluation indicators of Chinese Medical Association Hand Surgery Branch's trial criteria for digital replantation function evaluation, and the function of knee joint was evaluated using knee joint scoring system of hospital for special surgery. Results:The flap condition of the intraoperative exploration was completely consistent with that of preoperative CTA. The flaps survived completely after surgery in 6 patients, while necrosis at the edge of the flap occurred in 1 patient, which healed after dressing change. All the flaps were hyperperfused after surgery, and the color of the flaps gradually became normal after 1 week. Follow-up of 7 to 44 months showed that the color, appearance, and texture were well in all the patients, while local osteomyelitis at the proximal tibia occurred in 1 patient. At the last follow-up, all the 7 patients had excellent blood circulation; the function score of knee joint was 69 to 91, which was evaluated as excellent in 3 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 1 case.Conclusions:The retrograde anterolateral thigh flap has large variations, and the application of precise flap surgery method can accurately understand the variations before surgery, guide the design and cutting of the flaps, thus achieving precise repair of anterior knee joint wounds, with good repair outcome.

Objective:To introduce the concept and procedure of CTA guided precision flap surgery and report the preliminary clinical application.Methods:The theory of CTA guided precision flap surgery is: based on CTA high-throughput data, comprehensively evaluate the wound and potential donor sites, and select the best plan for wound repair. This article reviews 177 patients treated under the guidance of CTA guided precision flap surgery from August 2014 to December 2018. Among them, 131 were males and 46 were females; they were 7-72 years old, with an average age of 39.5 years. The tissue defects were: 74 cases of foot and ankle, 64 cases of wrist, 15 cases of calf, 11 cases of forearm and upper arm, 7 cases of thigh and perineum, 5 cases of face and neck, and 1 case of abdomen. The size of the defect was 2 cm×1 cm to 65 cm×50 cm. The recipient and donor sites were assessed based on CTA guided precision flap surgery, then choose the optimal flap to repair the defect. The flap types, outcomes and complications were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS), British Medical Research Council sensory rating scale, and revascularization assessments of digital replantation standard by Hand Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association was used to assess clinical results.Results:All flaps were uneventfully harvested as planned according to the CTA guided precision flap surgery concept.A total number of 181 flaps were harvested, including 125 free flaps and 56 pedicled flaps. The flap area rangedfrom 4 cm×3 cm to 40 cm×8 cm. After surgery, 165 cases were survival completely, 7 cases were total necrosis, 9 cases were partial necrosis. A total of 174 cases of flaps survived. The mean follow-up was 9.2 months (range, 6-60 months). After surgery 53 flaps were bulky, and 7 cases with other complications.At the last follow-up, only 6 patients had mild pain, the VAS score was 1-3. The sensation of the flaps recovered partially. According to the British Medical Research Council sensory rating scale: 68 cases were grade S2 and 106 cases were grade S3. According to the revascularization assessments of digital replantation standard by Hand Surgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association, 171 cases were excellent and 3 cases were good.Conclusion:The concept of precision flap surgery based on CTA can effectively guide flap surgery and achieve precise wound repair.

Objective:To estimate the preliminary result of circumflex scapular perforator propeller flap in reconstruction of axillary scar contractures.Methods:From January 2016 to June 2021, circumflex scapular perforator propeller flaps were used in 7 cases for reconstruction of soft tissue defect after axillary scar contractures. Patients were 5 males and 2 females. Age ranged from 23 to 38 years old, mean age of 27.7 years old. According to Kurtzman and Stern classification of axillary scar contractures, there were 1 case with type 1a, 1 with type 1b, 2 with type 2, and 3 with type 3. The preoperative range of motion of the shoulder joint were 40°-85°, with an average of 63.7°. All the patients were underwent scar release and circumflex scapular perforator propeller flap transfer. All flaps were transferred as the manner of perforator propeller flap. All the donor sites were closed directly. The defects after releasing ranged from 5.0 cm×7.0 cm to 11.0 cm×9.0 cm, and the flaps ranged from 16.0 cm×7.0 cm to 24.0 cm×9.0 cm. Flap survival, complications of donor site and recipient site were recorded after surgery. The range of motion of the shoulder joint, donor and recipient sites were reviewed in outpatient clinic.Results:All flaps survived uneventfully after surgery, besides 1 case complicated with distal venous congestion. The follow-up time ranged from 6 to 23 months, with an average of 12 months. The texture and contour of the flaps were good in all. At last follow-up, the range of motion of the shoulder joints were 90°-120°, with an average of 107°. Mild scar hyperplasia occurred in 2 cases.Conclusion:The circumflex scapular perforator propeller flap is an effective protocol in reconstruction of axillary scar contractures.
