Objective:To investigate the current status and risk factors of central venous catheter-related thrombus（CRT）in critically ill children，and to provide evidence for proposing preventive measures.Methods:This study was a single-center cross-sectional survey.The hospitalized children with central venous catheters implanted in the intensive care unit of Shanghai Children's Medical Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January to March 2024 were included.Based on the ultrasound diagnosis indicating CRT or the presence of visually detectable thrombi after central venous catheter removal,the children included in the study were categorized into the CRT group and the non-CRT group.The data of demographic，clinical data，laboratory tests，medication treatment，and catheter related information of the affected children were collected.Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors associated with CRT.Results:A total of 328 children were included，of which 158 cases（48.2%）were female，with the median age of 35.00（9.00，88.75）months.There were 51 cases（15.6%）in CRT group and 277 cases（84.4%）in non-CRT group.After adjusted by pediatric critical illness score，multivariate binary Logistic analysis revealed that the use of normal saline for catheter flushing and sealing (adjust OR=26.52,95% CI 8.32-84.60, P<0.001),longer duration of vasoactive drug use (adjust OR=5.06,95% CI 1.93-13.26, P=0.001),higher Caprini scale score (adjust OR=3.09,95% CI 1.38-6.91, P=0.006),presence of high-risk comorbidities or complications (adjust OR=2.87,95% CI 1.11-7.45, P=0.030),longer immobilization time (adjust OR=1.13,95% CI 1.07-1.19, P<0.001),and lower international normalized ratio after catheter placement (adjust OR=0.10,95% CI 0.02-0.53, P=0.007) were independent risk factors affecting the occurrence of CRT. Conclusion:The incidence of CRT is relatively high among critically ill children,and medical staff can develop targeted intervention measures by taking relevant risk factors into consideration.

Objective To investigate residents'willingness to use"internet+nursing services"of a community in Xiamen City and provide reference for the code of practice to promote the service.Methods A total of 350 community residents in Xiamen City were investigated by convenience sampling from January to December 2023.The questionnaire was self-designed with regard to their willingness to use"internet+nursing services".Results 336 questionnaires were effectively collected.The total score of willingness to use"internet+nursing services"of community residents in Xiamen City was(68.80±8.73)points,but only 19.6％of residents knew about"internet+nursing services".There were statistically significant differences in willingness to use among community residents with different ages,medical payment type,whether they knew"internet+nursing services"or not,and the number of service items needed(P＜0.05).Among them,age,whether they knew"internet+nursing services"or not and the number of service items needed were the main influencing factors of willingness to use(P＜0.05).Conclusion Community residents in Xiamen City show above the middle level of willingness to use"internet+nursing services".However,the popularity of"internet+nursing services"has a large room for improvement.The publicity to the residents should be strengthened,and the care needs of residents with different demographic characteristics should be considered.The supporting application functions of such platforms should be designed to meet the health needs of community residents,especially elderly patients with great demand for services.

Objective To explore the anti-intestinal fibrosis mechanism of Dahuang Zhechong pill.Methods Based on the network pharmacology method,the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform,SwissTargetPrediction database and metabolomics technology was used.OmicsNet 2.0 platform combined with the findings of network pharmacology and metabolomics,and molecular simulation docking and molecular biology methods were used to study the mechanism of anti-intestinal fibrosis of Dahuang Zhechong pill.Results Dahuang Zhechong pill contains 142 potential active ingredients and 855 anti-intestinal fibrosis targets.The 10 core ingredients(quercetin,acacetin,oroxylin a,kaempferol,moslosooflavone,panicolin,etc.)may play a role in regulating lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis,EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance,HIF-1 signaling pathway,TNF signaling pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway.Metabolomics results showed that 59 endogenous substances(oxaloacetic acid,ethylthioisonicamide,6-benzylaminopurine,tyrosine and cortisol,etc.)may be the key metabolites of this drug against intestinal fibrosis.Central carbon metabolism,TCA cycle and amino acid metabolism were the key mechanisms,EGFR,AKT1,MAPK1,PTPN11,CASP3,PPARG,MET and PDGFRB may be the core targets.Dahuang Zhechong pill could significantly improve the levels of colorectal edema,inflammatory factors,inflammatory cell infiltration,collagen fiber deposition and α-SMA expression in mice with intestinal fibrosis,reduce the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factors IL-17 and IL-23 in serum,and increase the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10.Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated stable conformational binding between core active ingredients and key targets.Conclusion Dahuang Zhechong pill may regulate EGFR/AKT1/MAPK mediated metabolism-inflammation interaction network through flavonoid components,and can improve intestinal fibrosis in multiple dimensions through molecular validation.

BACKGROUND: The available evidence regarding the benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on patients receiving dialysis with coronary artery disease (CAD) is limited and inconsistent. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PCI and clinical outcomes as compared with medical therapy alone in patients undergoing dialysis with CAD in China. METHODS: This multicenter, retrospective study was conducted in 30 tertiary medical centers across 12 provinces in China from January 2015 to June 2021 to include patients on dialysis with CAD. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke. Secondary outcomes included all-cause death, the individual components of MACE, and Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between PCI and outcomes. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) and propensity score matching (PSM) were performed to account for potential between-group differences. RESULTS: Of the 1146 patients on dialysis with significant CAD, 821 (71.6%) underwent PCI. After a median follow-up of 23.0 months, PCI was associated with a 43.0% significantly lower risk for MACE (33.9% [ n  = 278] vs . 43.7% [ n  = 142]; adjusted hazards ratio 0.57, 95% confidence interval 0.45-0.71), along with a slightly increased risk for bleeding outcomes that did not reach statistical significance (11.1% vs . 8.3%; adjusted hazards ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval, 0.82-2.11). Furthermore, PCI was associated with a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities. Subgroup analysis did not modify the association of PCI with patient outcomes. These primary findings were consistent across IPTW, PSM, and competing risk analyses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that PCI in patients on dialysis with CAD was significantly associated with lower MACE and mortality when comparing with those with medical therapy alone, albeit with a slightly increased risk for bleeding events that did not reach statistical significance.
