Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic immune-mediated gastrointestinal inflammatory disorder that includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn disease (CD). Currently, there is a lack of reliable diagnostic methods for IBD. Endoscopic biopsy is one of the common methods for detecting IBD, but it has limitations. In non-invasive assessment of IBD, ultrasound, CT, and MRI are less invasive and better tolerated than endoscopy, and can show the complete bowel condition, assess the thickness of the intestinal wall, and detect parenteral complications. Meanwhile, with the further study of IBD biomarkers, SPECT and PET are increasingly used in early diagnosis and efficacy monitoring of IBD, especially in patients who cannot tolerate invasive tests. The continuous developments of the above imaging techniques provide a more minimally invasive method than endoscopy for early non-invasive diagnosis and efficacy monitoring of IBD. This article reviews the latest research and application progress of the above imaging techniques in IBD.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of monitoring indicators related to the"Perioperative In-fection Control"in medical institutions above the secondary level in Guizhou Province,and to delve into the imple-mentation of key measures for infection prevention and control during the perioperative period for patients under-going surgical operations.METHODS Based on the"Implementation Plan for the'Perioperative Infection Control'Initiative in Guizhou Province",a"Case Investigation Form on Key Measures for Infection Prevention and Control During the Perioperative Period for Patients Undergoing Surgical Operation"was developed.A total of 138 medi-cal institutions participated in the case investigation,and a total of 2 128 cases were investigated.RESULTS The overall monitoring indicators for the"Perioperative Infection Control"initiative in the 138 medical institutions a-bove the secondary level in Guizhou Province were at a relatively low level.The skin cleansing compliance rate was 80.32％,the hair removal compliance rate was 16.43％,the prophylactic antibacterial drug administration rate within 0.5-1 hour before surgery was 55.94％and the antibacterial drug discontinuation rate within 24 hours after prophylactic medication for type Ⅰ incision surgeries was 56.48％.The hair removal compliance rate was higher in tertiary medical institutions(19.21％)than in secondary medical institutions(14.34％)(P=0.039).The distri-bution of the four monitoring indicators varied in clinical departments and surgery types,with statistically signifi-cant differences(P＜0.05).The preferred method for surgical site skin cleansing in medical institutions across the province was local wiping,primarily with clean water(57.21％).The primary method for hair removal was razors(68.82％),and hair removal on the day of surgery was most common(61.75％).CONCLUSIONS Conduc-ting a survey on the current status of"Perioperative Infection Control"initiative monitoring indicators in medi-cal institutions in Guizhou Province helps to understand the implementation of key measures for perioperative in-fection prevention and control and set intervention targets,thus providing references for establishing a dynam-ic monitoring indicator change mechanism.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of flight fatigue being detected via photoplethysmography (PPG) and regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rScO 2) in order to address the challenges posed by flight fatigue during prolonged or multiple consecutive flights. Methods:A total of 16 healthy male volunteers were enrolled. A wireless cerebral oximetry monitor headband was employed to collect PPG and rScO 2 data from the forehead while a multi-lead physiological data acquisition system was used concurrently to record three-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs). After 18 h of sleep deprivation, each volunteer performed a flight-simulating task, which was divided into 4 stages: the baseline period (T1), relaxation period (T2), early fatigue period (T3) and severe fatigue period (T4). Five-minute data was collected from each stage for analysis using AcqKnowledge 6.0. Heart rate (HR) and 3 HR variability (HRV) metrics, namely standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN), root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD), and low frequency to high frequency power ratio (LF/HF), were computed independently from both ECG and PPG traces. The mean rScO 2 value for each stage was used to represent the cerebral oxygen saturation during that stage. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was employed to assess the consistency of the measurements, and the differences in HR and HRV indicators of the volunteers in the 4 stages of the experiment were analyzed. Results:The HR measured by ECG and PPG was highly consistent across the 4 stages among the 14 volunteers ( ICC=0.951, 0.963, 0.962, 0.963, P=0.013, 0.011, 0.021, 0.015), so were SDNN, RMSSD and LF/HF values ( ICC=0.935-0.983, all P<0.05). HR values calculated with either method showed significant differences across the 4 stages in the 14 volunteers ( F=21.63, 20.52, P=0.007, 0.008). HR gradually declined from T1 to T4, and was significantly lower at T4 than at T1 ( P=0.011, 0.009). There were significant differences in SDNN ( F=22.31, 24.26, P=0.006, 0.003), RMSSD ( F=22.30, 22.26, P=0.006, 0.006), and LF/HF ( F=20.37, 25.13, P=0.009, 0.002) across the 4 stages among the 14 volunteers. SDNN and RMSSD kept increasing as fatigue was intensified, while LF/HF decreased correspondingly. Statistically significant differences were found in SDNN, RMSSD and LF/HF values between T4 and T1 (all P<0.01). rScO 2 measured during the flight-simulating trial also differed significantly across the 4 stages ( F=21.39, P=0.007). rScO? at both T3 and T4 was significantly lower than at T1 ( P=0.009, 0.007). Conclusions:PPG can replace ECG for monitoring HR and HRV indicators under flight fatigue. Furthermore, the combination of PPG with rScO 2 monitoring allows for earlier detection of flight fatigue. This study is expected to offer a user-friendly and non-invasive approach to management of pilot fatigue.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the management model of drugs used in investigator-initiated trial(IIT).METHODS With benchmarking analysis,based on the practical work experience of a tertiary specialized hospital in the field of IIT drug management in Shanghai,a thorough review was conducted,involving relevant laws,regulations,and academic literature to establish benchmark criteria and the evaluation standards.Starting from the initiation of IIT projects,a detailed comparative analysis of key processes was carried out,such as the receipt,storage,distribution,use and recycling of drugs for trial.The deficiencies in the current management of IIT drugs were reviewed in detail and a series of optimization suggestions were put forward.RESULTS It was found that the authorized records of drug management were missing,the training before project implementation was insufficient,and the records of receipt and acceptance of IIT drugs were incomplete.In light of these existing problems,improvement measures were put forward,including strengthening the training of drug administrators and stipulating that only drug administrators with pharmacist qualifications be eligible to inspect and accept drugs,etc.The related systems were improved,and 17 key points of quality control for the management of IIT drugs were developed.CONCLUSIONS A preliminary IIT drug management system for medical institutions has been established,which helps to improve the institutional framework of medical institutions in this field.

Objective:To systematically evaluate and Meta-synthesize qualitative studies on the home management needs of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) to understand their actual self-management needs and improve the quality of home management for patients with SCI in China.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in databases including CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library for qualitative research on the home management needs of patients with SCI, with a search timeframe up to November 30, 2023. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument (2016). Results were integrated and analyzed using Meta-synthesize methods.Results:A total of 15 studies were included, from which 58 distinct research findings were extracted. These were categorized into 10 new categories, which were further integrated into four main results: the need for positive emotional support, daily living-related needs, healthcare service needs, and social support needs.Conclusions:Healthcare providers should deeply understand the home management needs of patients with SCI. Utilizing artificial intelligence technology, an integrated support model encompassing hospital, home, and society can be constructed. Establishing a comprehensive home rehabilitation platform for patients with SCI can focus on psychological issues and enhance social support levels, thereby improving patients' quality of life.

Objective:To integrate qualitative research on the real experience of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) returning to society after discharge, so as to provide a basis for developing transitional care intervention program, and promote patients' reintegration into society.Methods:Qualitative research on the real experience of patients with SCI returning to society after discharge was electronically retrieved on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Service System, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and so on .The search period was from database establishment to August 30, 2023. The quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center (2016) was used to assess the quality of literature, and Meta-synthesis was used to integrate the results.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, and 51 research results were extracted. Similar research results were summarized and combined to form 12 new categories, which were then synthesized into four integrated results, including experiencing physical and mental discomfort following discharge, facing challenges in reintegrating into society, seeking social support, and adapting to social life through self-adjustment role changes.Conclusions:Patients with SCI have multiple psychological experiences in the process of reintegration into society. Medical and nursing staff should attach importance to their inner needs, help them overcome stress and challenges, provide them with personalized continuous care, and promote their role adaptation and reintegration into society.

Objective To analyze the effect of microRNA-22-3p (miR-22-3p) of extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on premature ovarian failure. Methods Follicular fluids were provided by premature ovarian failure patients with in vitro fertilization or the second-generation in vitro fertilization treatment and normal volunteers with the same treatment for infertility due to male factors; the exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated by differential centrifugation; the morphology, particle size and marker proteins of isolated exosomes were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy, NanoSight LM10 analyzer and Western blotting. Granulosa cells were treated with cyclophosphamide (CTX), exosomes, miR-22-3 mimics and corresponding controls, and were divided into CTX group, control group, exosome incubation group, PBS treatment group, CTX+miR-22-3p group, CTX+miR-NC group, CTX+Exosomes group, and CTX+PBS group; gene expression was detected by Western blotting and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The 3-(4, 5-Dimethylthazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reagent and flow cytometry were used to detect cell viability and apoptosis. Results The extracted exosomes had typical goblet vesicles, the exosome marker proteins C cluster of differentiation 63 (CD63) and C cluster of differentiation 9 (CD9) were expressed in the extracted exosomes, and exosome particle size was 80 to 150 nm; miR-22-3p was significantly lowly expressed in patients with premature ovarian failure and ovarian granulosa cells induced by CTX (P < 0.05), but was significantly highly expressed in ovarian granulosa cells incubated with exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (P < 0.05); the activity of granulosa cells in the CTX group was significantly lower than that in the control group, but was significantly higher in the CTX+miR-22-3p group or CTX+Exosomes group than that in the control group (P < 0.05); the apoptosis rate of granulosa cells in the CTX group was significantly higher than that in the control group, but was significantly lower in the CTX+miR-22-3p or CTX+Exosomes group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The miR-22-3p of extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can inhibit ovarian granulosa cell injury induced by CTX.
