Objective To investigate the effect of lung lobe surface projection localization combined with lung segment drainage sputum technique on airway clearance in patients with aspiration pneumonia,providing a reference for clinical nursing practice.Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 62 patients with perioperative aspiration pneumonia secondary to brain diseases admitted to a tertiary A hospital in Beijing from May 2022 to October 2024 as the research subjects.A total of 31 patients admitted from August 2023 to October 2024 were assigned to a control group,and 31 patients admitted from May 2022 to July 2023 were assigned to an experimental group.The experimental group received lung lobe surface projection positioning combined with lung segment drainage sputum technique on top of conventional back percussion sputum clearance technique,while the control group received conventional back percussion sputum clearance technique.After the intervention,the differences in oxygenation state,inflammatory test indicators,treatment efficiency,vital signs and frequency of suction coughing between 2 groups were compared.Results After the intervention,the experimental group showed better oxygenation index,frequency of suction coughing,white blood cell count,percentage of neutrophils,procalcitonin levels,interleukin-6 levels,and treatment efficiency compared to those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in heart rate,respiratory rate,and C-reactive protein levels between 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Lung lobe surface projection positioning combined can effectively promote the patients with aspiration pneumonia of loosening of sputum in the lungs,improve airway clearance efficiency,enhance the patient's pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange capacity,improve oxygenation levels,and reduce systemic inflammatory levels.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of different surgical approaches for the treatment of anterior skull base malignancies involving the orbit.Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with anterior skull base malignancies involving orbit who attended Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from April 2013 to July 2021. They were divided into endoscopic endonasal approach(EEA), lateral orbital approach(ELOA), and sublabial transmaxillary approach(ESTMA) groups according to the primary surgical approach. One-way analysis of variance and χ 2 test were used to compare the clinical characteristics, degree of tumour resection, rate of postoperative cranial nerve palsy and improvement of visual acuity; Log-rank test was applied to assess the difference in overall survival (OS). Results:One hundred and ninety-eight patients were enrolled, including 107 males and 91 females, aged (48.5±15.3) years. There were 153, 33, and 12 patients in the EEA, ESTMA, and ELOA groups, respectively. There were no significant differences among the three groups in age, gender, and history of radiotherapy, chemotherapy or surgery ( P>0.05 for all). All patients in ELOA group had preoperative visual impairment (12/12), with a significantly higher percentage than EEA group (56/153) and ESTMA group (14/33) ( χ2=19.72, P<0.001). There was no significant difference between three groups in the degree of tumor resection (gross total resection: 84.97% vs. 81.82% vs. 58.33%, χ2=5.58, P>0.05), postoperative cranial nerve palsy rate (13.07% vs. 30.30% vs. 16.67%, χ2=5.95, P>0.05), visual improvement rate (58.93% vs. 57.14% vs. 58.33%, χ2=0.04, P>0.05) and 5-year OS (60.69% vs. 42.66% vs. 50.00%, χ2=3.22, P>0.05). Conclusion:All three surgical approaches were safe, effective and feasible treatment modalities.

Objective To investigate the sputum metabolic profiles of patients with occupational coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) by an untargeted metabolomics method, and to identify relevant differential metabolic pathways and potential biomarkers. Methods A total of 12 male patients with stage Ⅰ CWP were selected as the CWP group, and 16 healthy male individuals were selected as the control group, using a judgmental sampling method. Sputum metabolites of individuals in both groups were detected to perform non-targeted metabolomic analysis using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Differential metabolites (DMs) and their pathways were screened using principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Potential biomarkers were analyzed and identified via the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Results There were apparent metabolic alterations observed in sputum of CWP patients compared with healthy controls. In the positive ion mode, a total of 42 DMs were identified in sputum from CWP patients, including 19 downregulated and 23 upregulated metabolites. In the negative ion mode, a total of 25 DMs were identified in sputum from CWP patients, including 16 downregulated and 9 upregulated metabolites. KEGG enrichment analysis of sputum from CWP patients showed that seven DMs pathways were enriched in ABC transporters, histidine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, purine metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation, involving 26 DMs. ROC analysis indicated that 16(R)-hydroxyarachidonic acid, pyrophosphate, and 2-hydroxyphenylacetate of these 26 DMs may serve as potential biomarkers for CWP. Conclusion Sputum metabolomic profiles were altered in CWP patients compared with healthy controls. The potential biomarkers of CWP prevention and treatment are 16(R)-hydroxyarachidonic acid, pyrophosphate, and 2-hydroxyphenylacetate.

The construction of an information system for equipment budget management in public hospitals is an important measure to strengthen comprehensive budget management, serving as an important foundation for promoting the development of clinical disciplines and enhancing operational management. Since September 2023, a tertiary public hospital had explored the construction of equipment budget management informatization. This practice had established a supporting budget management information system, which included an equipment demand reserve library and a general use product library, linked performance evaluation indicators, implemented visualizing real-time project progress, and strengthened data governance. A series of measures had been taken to move management to equipment demand research, expand the time window for departments to fill in budget requirements, simplify the department application process, and achieve a closed-loop management of the entire chain of department equipment demand research, budget approval, and execution, ensuring the rationality and accuracy of the budget. By the end of 2024, the budget management information system had covered 87 departments and included 30 000 sets of equipment applications, providing detailed data support and critical management references for demand departments, equipment management departments, and hospital decision-makers, while improving the quality and efficiency of in-hospital equipment management. This practice could provide references for other public hospitals in China to optimize their equipment budget management.

Objective:To study the implementation progress of the prevention and control measures for drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis and the changing trend of fluorosis conditions in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of prevention and control measures, and provide a basis for the next step of prevention and control of the disease.Methods:In 2015 and 2023, a cross-sectional survey method was used to investigate the water improvement situation, the operation of water improvement projects, the detection of fluoride level in water, and the prevalence of dental fluorosis in children aged 8 to 12 in all affected villages of 11 leagues (cities) in the entire autonomous region. The prevention and control effect of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in the entire autonomous region was evaluated.Results:The water improvement rates of all affected villages in the entire autonomous region in 2015 and 2023 were 84.12% (8 218/9 769) and 95.38% (8 944/9 377), respectively. The qualified rates of water fluoride in the villages with water improvement in the entire autonomous region were 66.21% (5 441/8 218) and 91.00% (8 139/8 944), respectively. The water improvement rate and water fluoride qualification rate of water improvement villages in 2023 were both higher than those in 2015, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2 = 652.96, 1 593.81, P < 0.001). The detection rates of dental fluorosis in children aged 8 to 12 years in the entire autonomous region in 2015 and 2023 were 9.26% (7 548/81 484) and 4.46% (3 441/77 155), respectively. The detection rate of dental fluorosis in children in 2023 was lower than that in 2015, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 1 418.20, P < 0.001). In 2015 and 2023, the total compliance rate of all affected villages in the entire autonomous region reaching the control standards were 57.94% (5 660/ 9 769) and 92.37% (8 662/9 377), respectively. The total compliance rate of all affected villages in 2023 was higher than that in 2015, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 = 3 010.38, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Compared with 2015, the prevention and control measures of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region have been effectively implemented in 2023, with a significant decrease in the detection rate of dental fluorosis in children. However, there are still a few affected villages that have not achieved the control standards, and prevention and control work still need to be further strengthened.
