Objective A scoping review of studies on pulmonary prehabilitation in cardiac surgery patients was conducted to provide evidence support for the construction of a preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation program for cardiac surgery patients that suitable for China's national conditions.Methods In accordance with the scope review's research methodologies,databases including PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CINAHL,CNKI and Wanfang were searched by the computer for relevant studies.The deadline for retrieval is from the establishment of databases to June,2024.The included literature was systematically analyzed.Results 26 articles were finally included.Among them,4 were quasi-experiment studies,while the other 22 were randomized controlled trials.Forms of the intervention included comprehensive breathing exercises,inspiratory muscle training,positive expiratory pressure,incentive spirometer training and balloon blowing training.The intervention initiation ranged from 10 weeks to 1 day preoperatively;the outcome measures included postoperative pulmonary complications,lung function metrics,the 6-Minute Walk Test,duration of mechanical ventilation,length of hospital stay,patient-reported outcomes and so on.Conclusion There remains a deficiency in standardized protocols for preoperative pulmonary rehabilitation training among patients undergoing cardiac surgery.High-quality studies should be conducted,and intervention strategies for pulmonary prehabilitation in cardiac surgery patients should be optimized and a unified evaluation standard system should be established.

Objective To compare the value of standard deviation(SD)method and root mean square(RMS)method for measuring signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of MRI of American College of Radiology(ACR)phantom based on phased array coils.Methods ACR phantom was scanned with head coil(Head),abdominal coil(Anterior),dual piece flexible coil(Flex L)and abdominal coil+flexible coil(Anterior+Flex L)each for 6 times,respectively,with sequences of axial T 1W-spin echo(SE)and T2W-SE.And the scanning schemes were divided into 8 groups based on 4 types of coils and 2 sequences.SNR of 8 groups were measured with standard deviation method and root mean square method,respectively,and the differences between the above 2 methods were observed.Results For T1W-SE sequence,SNRsD of MRI based on Head,Anterior,Flex L and Anterior+Flex L was 1.25±0.07,0.56±0.02,1.15±0.10 and 1.04±0.11,respectively,while SNRRMs was 1.10±0.07,0.58±0.03,1.01±0.13 and 1.31±0.15,respectively.For T2W-SE sequence,SNRsD was 1.40±0.08,0.48±0.02,1.04±0.07 and 1.08±0.06,respectively,while SNRRMs was 1.29±0.09,0.53±0.03,0.84±0.08 and 1.35±0.12,respectively.Compared pairwise,significant difference of SNRsD was found in 9 pairs(all P＜0.05),while of SNRRMs was detected in 10 pairs(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with standard deviation method,root mean square method was more suitable for measuring SNR of MRI of ACR phantom based on phased array coils.

Dysfunction of the diaphragm is a common problem in mechanically ventilated patients and is closely related to various adverse outcomes.This review summarizes the evaluation methods of diaphragm function,the association between diaphragm dysfunction and adverse clinical outcomes in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients,and the protective effect of diaphragm function on adverse outcomes related to mechanical ventilation.The aim is to provide references for medical staff to optimize evaluation techniques,develop personalized nursing plans,and improve patients' quality of life and health outcomes.

OBJECTIVE T o establish a simple,rapid,highly sensitive and highly specific visualized detection meth-od for Klebsiella pneumoniae based on recombinase polymerase amplification(RPA)technique combined with the lateral flow dipstick(LFD)technique.METHODS The specific primers targeting the khe gene of K.pneumoniae were designed for RPA,the reaction temperature and reaction time for RPA were optimized,the optimal experi-mental conditions for the LFD were determined based on the colorimetric results.The sensitivity,stability,speci-ficity and clinical practicability of RPA-LFD in detection of the K.pneumoniae were evaluated.RESULTS RPA could achieved the optimal detection result for simplification of K.pneumoniae at 34 ℃ for 10 min.The LFD showed the best color development when Milipore HF 135s was used as the nitrocellulose membrane,phosphate buffered saline containing Tween-20(PBST)was used as the sample developing solution,and the concentrations of streptavidin and secondary antibody were 0.8 mg/ml and 0.1 mg/ml,respectively.The detection limit of the RPA-LFD was 5 CFU/ml for detection of K.pneumoniae,the relative standard deviation of the band color inten-sity was less than 5％in six parallel experiments,and there was no cross reactions with other bacterial strains.In addition,the sensitivity of the RPA-LFD in detection of K.pneumoniae was not affected by the serum compo-nents such as proteins and lipids.CONCLUSION The rapid detection method for K.pneumoniae that is established based RPA-LFD is characterized by the simple operation,high sensitivity and high specificity,and it does not need complicated equipment or strict technical requirement for operators and provides a new technique for early diagno-sis and epidemiological survey of the K.pneumoniae.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome in China, so as to provide a basis for clinical interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 260 inpatients with Cushing syndrome who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in 9 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals within the 7 geographic subregions of China from February to April 2023 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20, Barthel Index, and Self-Rating Depression Scale were used for the survey.Results:A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.7% (241/260). The MFI-20 score of 241 patients with Cushing syndrome was 58.00 (46.00, 64.00). 65.1% (157/241) of patients with Cushing syndrome suffered from fatigue, and 73.2% (115/157) of patients with fatigue exhibited multidimensional fatigue. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in fatigue scores among patients with Cushing syndrome with different cultural levels, recurrence frequency, activity of daily living, hypertension, and depression ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that depression was a risk factor for fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome needs attention. Medical and nursing staff should pay close attention to the psychological status of patients with Cushing syndrome, encourage them to actively cope, alleviate their depression, in order to improve their fatigue.
