BACKGROUND:
As an essential part of health services, rehabilitation is of great significance to improve the health and quality of life of the whole population. Accelerating aging calls for a significant expansion of rehabilitation services in China, but rehabilitation needs remain unclear. We conducted the study to explore the rehabilitation needs in China and project the trend of rehabilitation needs from 2020 to 2034.
METHODS:
The data of health conditions that might potentially benefit from rehabilitation were obtained from Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study. Estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to quantify the trends of the age-standardized rates. Projections of rehabilitation needs were made until 2034 using Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis (BAPC).
RESULTS:
Approximately 460 million persons (33.3% of the total population) need rehabilitation in China, contributing to 63 million years lived with disabilities (YLDs) in 2019. The number of prevalent cases that need rehabilitation increased from around 268 (95% uncertainty interval [UI]: 257-282) million in 1990 to almost 460 (95% UI: 443-479) million in 2019, representing an increase of 71.3%. The highest contribution to the need for rehabilitation was musculoskeletal disorders with about 322 (95% UI: 302-343) million persons in seven aggregate disease and injury categories, and hearing loss with over 95 (95% UI: 84-107) million people among 25 health conditions. Based on the projection results, there will be almost 636 million people (45% of the total population) needing rehabilitation services in China by 2034, representing an increase of 38.3%. The rehabilitation needs of neoplasms, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders are expected to increase significantly from 2019 to 2034, with increases of 102.3%, 88.8% and 73.2%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The need for rehabilitation in China substantially increased over the last 30 years. It is predicted that over two in five people will require rehabilitation by 2034, thus suggesting the need to develop rehabilitation services that meet individuals' rehabilitation needs.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Jianpi Bushen Prescription in treating acute gouty arthritis with spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome using propensity score matching method.Methods:A retrospective analysis method was used to select 156 patients with acute gouty arthritis with spleen kidney deficiency type admitted from March 2022 to March 2024. They were divided into an observation group of 89 cases and a control group of 67 cases according to the treatment method. Propensity score matching (PSM) was further adopted to balance the confounding factors before treatment in a 1:1 ratio. Finally, 42 patients in each group were successfully matched. The control group received conventional Western medicine, the observation group received additional treatment with Jianpi Bushen Prescription on the basis of the control group. The treatment for both groups lasted for 1 month. TCM syndrome scores were performed before and after treatment, and the levels of serum uric acid (UA), ESR, and pH were measured using an automatic dry biochemical analyzer. The VAS scale was used to assess the degree of pain, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate the degree of joint function improvement, and the Quality of Life Scale-36 (SF-36) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. Adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded to evaluate clinical efficacy.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group 92.86% (39/42) was higher than that of the control group 73.81% (31/42), with statistical significance ( χ2=5.49, P<0.05). After treatment, the joint pain, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, poor flexion and extension, and pale and greasy tongue coating, were lower than those in the control group ( t values were 3.38, 4.26, 3.96, 3.97, 4.41, respectively, P<0.01). After treatment, the serum uric acid (UA) [(351.84±36.46) μmol/L vs. (380.19±39.42) μmol/L, t=3.42] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [(17.91±3.71) mm/h vs. (21.43±3.90) mm/h, t=4.24] of the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the pH value (7.24±0.49 vs. 6.98±0.57, t=2.24) was higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05). After treatment, the VAS and ODI of the observation group were lower than those of the control group ( t values were 5.80, 6.25, respectively, P<0.01), and the SF-36 score was higher than that of the control group ( t=3.23, P<0.05). During the treatment, the incidence of adverse reactions was 14.29% (6/42) in the observation group and 9.52% (4/42) in the control group. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( χ2=0.45, P>0.05). Conclusions:Jianpi Bushen Prescription has good efficacy on the treatment of acute gouty arthritis with spleen-kidney deficiency syndrome. It can reduce the levels of uric acid, improve the life quality of patients, and enhance efficacy, with good treatment safety.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of critical patient handover practice between emergency room and intensive care unit (ICU) nurses, and to provide a basis for structured handover process.Methods:From March to July 2023, a total of 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU (including EICU) of 5 Class 3 Grade A general hospitals in Suzhou were selected as the research objects by using cross-sectional survey method and convenience sampling method. Self-designed general information questionnaire and Patient Handover Practice Quality Scale were used to investigate the included 223 pairs of nurses in emergency room and ICU on the current situation of handover time and quality.Results:A total of 211 pairs of nurses were included, including 286 females (67.8%) and 136 males (32.2%). The average age of emergency department nurses was (27.31 ± 2.17) years old, and ICU nurses was (26.96 ± 3.04) years old. The total scores of the patient handover practice Quality Scale for nurses in the emergency room and ICU were (45.25 ± 6.26) and (43.55 ± 7.19) points respectively, and the scores of the information transmission dimension were (20.47 ± 5.43) and (17.66 ± 3.45) points. The scores of common understanding dimension were (7.59 ± 2.31) and (8.58 ± 2.46) points. The scores of work atmosphere dimension were (7.93 ± 2.11) and (8.39 ± 2.29) points. The scores of handover situation dimension were (5.33 ± 1.30) and (5.70 ± 1.53) points, and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were - 6.35-4.22, all P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the scores of handover practice quality between emergency room nurses and ICU nurses according to specialization, education background, working years and job category ( t values were - 4.91-2.56, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Emergency room nurses and ICU nurses have different requirements and expectations for handover procedures, so it is necessary to build a structured handover practice framework and carry out personalized handover practice training, in order to achieve the consistency of handover content and improve the quality of critical patients handover practice.

Objective To explore the application effect of air bag compression combined with multi-step automatic decompression in radial artery hemostasis after coronary angiography in elderly patients. Methods A total of 630 elderly patients who underwent transradial coronary angiography in our hospital from March 2023 to April 2024 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group, observation group 1, and observation group 2, with 210 patients in each group. The control group received manual compression hemostasis with a three-step air bag compressor after surgery, while the observation group 1 and observation group 2 received automatic compression hemostasis with a customized pressure step compressor for three-step and five-step compression, respectively, on the air bag compressor after surgery. The bleeding rate, delayed pressure release rate, radial artery stenosis rate, radial artery occlusion rate, and nursing work time were compared among the three groups after surgery (after CAG and before removal of the air bag compressor). Pain scores, heart rate, and blood pressure were recorded after surgery and before pressure release at 1 h after surgery. Results The observation group 2 had better results in bleeding rates, delayed pressure release rates, radial artery stenosis rates, and occlusion rates at the puncture site compared with the control group and observation group 1(

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults.
METHODS:
Literature searches were conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases to screen randomized controlled trial (RCT) of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults, starting from the establishment of the database and ending on May 22, 2024. The control group received conventional treatment. The observation group was given intravenous magnesium sulfate on the basis of routine treatment. The outcome indexes included total effective rate, peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and other pulmonary function indexes, and incidence of adverse reactions. The selection of relevant literature, the collection of data needed for the study and the risk assessment of bias in the included study were all conducted independently by 2 researchers. Stata 12.0 software was used for Meta-analysis, and funnel plot was used to evaluate publication bias.
RESULTS:
Sixteen RCT studies with a total of 2 601 patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [risk ratio (RR) = 1.11, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.03-1.20, P = 0.008]. In pulmonary function examination, PEF [weighted mean difference (WMD) = 0.70, 95%CI was 0.24-1.15, P = 0.003], FEV1 (WMD = 0.48, 95%CI was 0.29-0.68, P = 0.000) and FVC (WMD = 0.72, 95%CI was 0.47-0.97, P = 0.000) were significantly better than those in the control group. There was no significantly difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (RR = 0.51, 95%CI was 0.17-1.55, P = 0.419). The funnel plot was drawn for the total effective rate, which showed that each study presented a symmetrical distribution, and the Begg's test (Z = 1.31, P = 0.189) and Egger's test (t = 1.18, P = 0.261) were combined to consider the small possibility of publication bias.
CONCLUSIONS
Current evidence shows that the use of magnesium sulfate in the treatment of acute severe asthma in adults increases the total response rate and improves lung function without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions. Due to the limited number and quality of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies high-quality studies.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of the serum levels of Clusterin and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in assessing the prognosis of sepsis patients with acute liver injury. MethodsA total of 127 sepsis patients with acute liver injury who were admitted to Lianyungang Hospital, Xuzhou Medical University, from March 2019 to May 2022 were enrolled, and according to their prognosis after 28 days of treatment, they were divided into death group with 35 patients and survival group with 92 patients. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation. The prognostic value of serum Clusterin and S1P was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curve. ResultsThere were significant differences between the two groups in the degree of liver injury, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, the presence or absence of acute kidney injury, prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), Child-Pugh class, and C-reactive protein (all P<0.05). The death group had significantly lower serum levels of Clusterin and S1P than the survival group (t=11.094 and 10.390, both P<0.05). The patients with severe liver injury had significantly lower serum levels of Clusterin and S1P than those with mild or moderate liver injury (t=9.825 and 11.418, both P<0.05). The multivariate regression analysis showed that the degree of liver injury (odds ratio [OR]=1.260, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.081 — 1.468, P<0.05), APACHEII score (OR=1.031, 95%CI: 1.019 — 1.044, P<0.05), SOFA score (OR=1.066, 95%CI: 1.039 — 1.094, P<0.05), Clusterin (OR=0.899, 95%CI: 0.859 — 0.940, P<0.05), and S1P (OR=0.824, 95%CI: 0.749 — 0.908, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with sepsis. The ROC curve analysis showed that serum Clusterin and S1P used alone or in combination had an area under the ROC curve of 0.864, 0.861, and 0.949, respectively. Serum Clusterin and S1P were significantly negatively correlated with alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, PT, and INR in sepsis patients with acute liver injury (all P<0.05). ConclusionThe sepsis patients with acute liver injury who died had significant reductions in serum Clusterin and S1P compared with those who survived, and the levels of Clusterin and S1P are closely associated with the degree of liver injury. The combination of Clusterin and S1P has a good value in predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients with acute liver injury and is expected to become a potential marker for predicting the prognosis of sepsis patients with acute liver injury.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of SIMPLE regimen in the treatment of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTCL).Methods:The clinical data of 11 patients with ENKTCL who were admitted to the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital from January 2012 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients received 4-6 courses of SIMPLE (cisplatin, gemcitabine, ifosfamide, etoposide, dexamethasone, and pegasparaginase) regimen chemotherapy, and stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients who also received local radiotherapy after 2 or 3 courses of chemotherapy. Patients were evaluated for mid-treatment and end-of-treatment outcomes, and the adverse effects of patients were evaluated in each treatment cycle. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the 11 patients.Results:All 11 patients were nasal type, with the median age of 41 years old (26-67 years old), including 5 males and 6 females, 3 relapsed cases and 8 newly treated cases. Of the 10 patients evaluated for efficacy, 9 achieved complete remission and 1 achieved at least partial remission (efficacy was assessed based on follow-up). All 11 patients were followed up for a median time of 50 months (15-72 months) and 2 relapsed patients died due to disease progression. The expected 5-year PFS rate and OS rate of 11 patients were both 90.0%, and the expected 5-year OS rate was 100.0% and 66.6% in newly treated and relapsed patients, respectively. Common adverse effects were hematologic adverse reactions, infections, gastrointestinal symptoms, elevated transaminases, and hypofibrinogenemia, all of which were curable. There is no treatment-related death.Conclusions:The SIMPLE regimen for the treatment of ENKTCL has a high remission rate, the patients have long survival time, and the regimen is moderately well tolerated.
