[Objective] To explore the incidence and risk factors of blood transfusion undergoing total knee revision (TKR) using a nationwide database. [Methods] A retrospective data analysis was conducted based on the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), enrolling patients who underwent TKR from 2015 to 2019 with complete information. Patients under 18 years old and those using anticoagulants, antiplatelets, antithrombotic and non-steroidal were excluded. The patients were divided into two groups based on whether they received blood transfusion or not. The demographic characteristics, length of stay (LOS), total charge of hospitalization, hospital characteristics, hospital mortality, comorbidities and perioperative complications by Wilcoxon rank test for continuous data and chi-square test for categorical data. Logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors of blood transfusion undergoing TKR. [Results] The NIS database included 63 359 patients who underwent TKR. Among them, 5 271 patients received blood transfusion, with an incidence of blood transfusion of 7.8%. There was a decrease in the incidence over the years from 2015 to 2019, dropping from 10.2% to 6.5%. TKR patients requiring transfusions had experienced longer LOS, incurred higher total medical expenses, utilized Medicare more frequently, and had increased in-hospital mortality rates (all P<0.001). Independent risk factors for blood transfusion included female gender, iron-deficiency anemia, rheumatoid disease, collagen vascular disease, chronic blood loss anemia, congestive heart failure, coagulopathy, diabetes with chronic complications, lymphoma, fluid and electrolyte disorders, peripheral vascular disorders, renal failure, valvular disease and weight loss (malnutrition). In addition, risk factors for transfusion in TKR surgery included sepsis, acute myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, heart failure, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, acute renal failure, postoperative delirium, wound infection, lower limb nerve injury, hemorrhage, seroma, hematoma, wound rupture and non healing. [Conclusion] Our findings highlight the importance of recognizing the risk factors of blood transfusion in TKR and establishing corresponding clinical pathways and intervention measures to reduce the occurrence of adverse events.

Objective To investigate the status and developmental trends of clinical trials for weight control drugs in China,and to provide data support for sponsors,researchers,and regulatory authorities.Methods The drug clinical trial registration and information platform of the National Medical Products Administration was utilized to search for registered clinical trials of weight control drugs from November 2012 to June 2024.The search employed"overweight","obesity",and"weight loss"as keywords.The information collected included project registration time,drug name,dosage form,drug classification,indications,trial staging,study progress,design type,lead unit,and sponsor.Microsoft Office Excel software was employed for data entry,organization,and extraction.Results A total of 95 registered clinical trials of weight control drugs were identified,comprising 40 domestic multicenter trials,47 domestic single-center trials,and 8 international multicenter trials.Regarding trial phasing,46(48.4％)were phase Ⅰ clinical trials,17(17.9％)were phase Ⅱ clinical trials,19(20.0％)were phase Ⅲ clinical trials,and 13(13.7％)were bioequivalence trials.The drug categorization encompassed 22 chemical drugs,20 biological products,and 1 traditional Chinese medicine/natural drug.Concerning drug dosage forms,there were 32 items of injectable dosage forms,8 items of tablets,2 items of capsules,and 1 item of chewable tablets.Conclusions Registered clinical trials for weight-loss medications in China are predominantly concentrated in regions with developed medical resources.Injectable biologics constitute most test drugs,with most drugs in the early stages of research and development.The examination of the safety and efficacy of these drugs remains to be substantiated,and it is anticipated that a considerable period will elapse before their approval and market introduction.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for constructing scientific and reasonable pharmaceutical service mode for hospitalized patients with chronic airway diseases. METHODS From October 2023 to March 2024， 250 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbation of asthma who were hospitalized in the respiratory department of Hebei General Hospital and received pharmaceutical care （PC） were randomly divided into control group （125 cases） and observation group （125 cases）. The control group received general pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization， while the observation group received standardized and graded pharmaceutical services throughout their hospitalization. The differences in clinical value indicators， humanistic value indicators， and quality management indicators were compared among different PC service models. RESULTS Among clinical value evaluation indicators， the observation group had better achievement rate of disease treatment goals， correct use score of inhalation devices， the incidence of adverse drug reactions， and the number of drug-related problems solved than the control group （P＜0.05）. Among the humanistic evaluation indicators， compared with the control group， the observation group had better medication compliance scores， pharmacist intervention success rates， and patient satisfaction scores （P＜0.05）. Among quality management evaluation indicators， the proportion of drug costs， the proportion of intravenous medication， the use rate of antibiotics， the intensity of antibiotic use， and the number of pharmaceutical services in the observation group were significantly better than the control group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Standardized and graded pharmaceutical care services have improved the efficiency of pharmacists and service effectiveness， making it a new pharmaceutical service model worth promoting.

Objective To investigate the current situation of preoperative nursing trust in total knee replacement patients and analyze the influencing factors.Methods Using convenience sampling method,138 patients who underwent total knee ar-throplasty in our department from October 2020 to September 2021 were selected as the research objects.The patients were inves-tigated by general information questionnaire,nurse-patient relationship trust scale(NPTs),self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and knee American Special Surgery scale(HSS),to explore the current situation and influencing factors of patient-nurse trust in pa-tients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.Results The total score of preoperative trust of patients(136.75±7.93);Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation with total anxiety score(r =-0.419,P＜0.01)and no correlation with knee function score(r=0.063,P＞0.05).The results of the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the educational level,previous experience of hospitalization,and preoperative anxiety entered the regression equation(P＜0.05)explained 66.9% of the total variation.Conclusion In this group,the trust between nurses and patients in patients undergoing total knee arthroplas-ty is at the upper middle level,and is affected by education level,previous hospitalization experience and preoperative anxiety.Nurses should focus on patients with low education level,no previous hospitalization experience and high anxiety level,and carry out targeted intervention for theme,so as to reduce postoperative anxiety and improve postoperative function,Promote doctor-pa-tient relationship,reduce medical disputes and help patients recover as soon as possible.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Emerging research suggests a potential association of progression of Alzheimer's disease(AD)with al-terations in synaptic currents and mitochondrial dynamics.However,the specific associations between these pathological changes remain unclear.In this study,we utilized Aβ42-induced AD rats and primary neural cells as in vivo and in vitro models.The investigations included behavioural tests,brain magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)analysis,Nissl staining,thioflavin-S staining,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,Golgi-Cox staining,trans-mission electron microscopy(TEM),immunofluorescence staining,proteomics,adenosine triphosphate(ATP)detection,mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)and reactive oxygen species(ROS)assess-ment,mitochondrial morphology analysis,electrophysiological studies,Western blotting,and molecular docking.The results revealed changes in synaptic currents,mitophagy,and mitochondrial dynamics in the AD models.Remarkably,intervention with Dengzhan Shengmai(DZSM)capsules emerged as a pivotal element in this investigation.Aβ42-induced synaptic dysfunction was significantly mitigated by DZSM intervention,which notably amplified the frequency and amplitude of synaptic transmission.The cognitive impairment observed in AD rats was ameliorated and accompanied by robust protection against structural damage in key brain regions,including the hippocampal CA3,primary cingular cortex,prelimbic system,and dysgranular insular cortex.DZSM intervention led to increased IDE levels,augmented long-term potential(LTP)amplitude,and enhanced dendritic spine density and length.Moreover,DZSM intervention led to favourable changes in mitochondrial parameters,including ROS expression,MMP and ATP contents,and mitochondrial morphology.In conclusion,our findings delved into the realm of altered synaptic currents,mitophagy,and mitochondrial dynamics in AD,concurrently highlighting the therapeutic potential of DZSM intervention.

Objective To standardize the management of clinical trials in our hospital,reduce the incidence of protocol deviations,and provide a reference for improving the quality of clinical trials.Methods The healthcare failure mode and effect analysis(HFMEA)method was used to determine the potential failure modes of the current protocol deviation.The frequency,severity and detectability of failure modes were quantified and evaluated.The risk priority number(RPN)was calculated and the corresponding improvement measures were proposed.The RPN values before and after the implementation of HFMEA were statistically analyzed to evaluate the improvement effect.Results After the implementation of HFMEA activities,the RPN values of 14 potential failure modes decreased significantly(P<0.05);The risk level of 12 potential failure modes decreased.The HFMEA team members'ability in finding and solving problems,communication and cooperation were significantly improved.Conclusions The implementation of HFMEA activities contributes to the management of protocol deviation in clinical trials,can effectively reduce the occurrence of protocol deviation,and provides experience for improving the quality of drug clinical trials.
