Objective To identify the multi-dimensional needs of symptom management for oral cancer patients based on the journey map,and provide references for optimizing the symptom management of oral cancer patients.Methods From September 2023 to March 2024,the purposive sampling was used to select 15 perioperative oral cancer patients from a tertiary A general hospital in Zhengzhou for semi-structured interviews.The content analysis method was used to analyze the data and create a patient journey map.Results According to the time axis of diagnosis and treatment,the symptom management of patients with oral cancer was subdivided into 22 themes including identifying abnormal symptoms,clarifying diagnosis,anxiety,fear and uncertainty,guilt,high-risk behavioral inertia solidification,diagnostic trust crisis and so on from 3 dimensions of task,emotion,and pain point,and a journey map was formed.Conclusion The journey of symptom management for patients with oral cancer is long and complex,and the needs of patients'physiological and psychological symptom management are dynamically changing.In the future,the digital intelligence of big data technology can be combined to achieve whole-process,personalized and precise symptom management to improve the quality of life of oral cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of comorbidity of oral frailty and sarcopenia in elderly inpatients,and to explore their influencing factors,so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted interventions for patients with oral frailty and sarcopenia.Methods A total of 515 elderly patients hospitalized in 3 tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou City and 1 second-class hospital in Shangqiu City from January 2024 to April 2024 were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling,and the general information questionnaire,Oral Frailty Index-8,Sarcopenia Screen Questionnaire,Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form,Social Support Rating Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS)were used for investigation.Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of oral frailty and sarcopenia comorbidities in elderly inpatients.Results 508 valid questionnaires were collected.The prevalence of sarcopenia and oral frailty in elderly inpatients was 22.8％,and age,dysphagia,number of chronic diseases,and history of hypertension or stroke,multiple drug use,depression,bad nutrition and low level of social support were the risk factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence of oral frailty combined with sarcopenia was higher in elderly hospitalized patients.Nurses should take nursing measures according to its influencing factors to prevent and control the development of oral frailty combined with sarcopenia.

Stress hyperglycemia is a common metabolic disturbance observed in critically ill patients during the perioperative period.However,the use of a single blood glucose measurement is susceptible to various con-founding factors and may not accurately reflect the patient's stress status.The Stress Hyperglycemia Ratio(SHR),an emerging biomarker,is calculated by comparing admission blood glucose levels with the individual's estimated chronic average glycemic level,thereby enabling a more accurate differentiation between stress-induced hyperglycemia and hyperglycemia associated with pre-existing diabetes.Accumulating evidence indicates that SHR demonstrates significant predictive value for major adverse clinical outcomes,including cardiovascular events,mortality,and impaired functional recovery,across diverse critically ill populations such as those with acute myocardial infarction,stroke,and sepsis.Moreover,SHR has been shown to outperform traditional single blood glucose measurements in terms of prognostic accuracy.This review aims to systematically summarize the current evidence regarding the predictive utility of SHR in risk assessment for adverse outcomes among critically ill patients.By enhancing our understanding of SHR's clinical relevance,this review seeks to provide insights into novel approaches for risk stratification,individualized patient management,and ultimately,improved clinical outcomes.

Background With the progression of industrialization, an increasing number of emerging contaminants are entering aquatic environments, posing significant threats to the safety of drinking water. Therefore, establishing a system for identifying unknown hazardous factors and implementing safety warning mechanisms for drinking water is of paramount importance. Among these efforts, non-target screening plays a critical role, but its effectiveness is largely constrained by the scope of coverage of sample pre-treatment methods. Objective To integrate modern chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques with advanced data mining methods to develop a non-discriminatory sample pre-treatment method for comprehensive enrichment of unknown contaminants in drinking water, laying a technical foundation for the discovery and identification of unknown organic hazardous factors in drinking water. Methods A non-discriminatory pre-treatment method based on supramolecular and solid-phase extraction was developed. The final target compounds including 333 pesticides, 194 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and 59 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were used for optimizing the pre-treatment method, confirming its coverage. The impacts of different eluents on the absolute recovery rates of target compounds were compared to select the conditions with the highest recovery for sample pre-treatment. The effects of different supramolecular solvents and salt concentrations on target compound recovery were also evaluated to determine the most suitable solvent and salt concentration. Results The solid-phase extraction elution solvents, supramolecular extraction solvents, and salt concentrations were optimized based on the target compound recovery rates. The optimal recovery conditions were achieved using 2 mL methanol, 2 mL methanol (containing 1% formic acid), 2 mL ethyl acetate, 2 mL dichloromethane, hexanediol supramolecular solvent, and 426 mg salt. The detection method developed based on these conditions showed a good linear relationship for all target compounds in the range of 0.1-100.0 ng·mL⁻¹, with R² > 0.99. The method’s limit of detection ranged from 0.01 ng⁻¹ to 0.95 ng⁻¹, and 95% of target compounds were recovered in the range of 20%-120%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 30%, indicating good precision. Conclusion The combined pre-treatment method of solid-phase extraction and supramolecular solvent extraction can effectively enrich contaminants in drinking water across low, medium, and high polarities, enabling broad-spectrum enrichment of diverse trace contaminants in drinking water. It provides technical support for broad-spectrum, high-throughput screening and identification of organic pollutants in drinking water, and also serves as a reference for establishing urban drinking water public safety warning systems.

Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) -related paronychia is a condition clearly related to EGFRI therapy, characterized by periungual erythema, edema, purulent exudates, periungual or subungual granulomatous lesions, and sometimes accompanied by thinning, fragility or even splitting and seperation of nail plates. Inhibition of epidermal function, inflammation and secondary infections, as well as angiogenesis are the core processes in the occurrence and development of EGFRI-related paronychia. This review summarizes epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, prevention and treatment of EGFRI-related paronychia.

Objective:To assess the value of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) burden in predicting prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) after endovascular therapy (EVT).Methods:The study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 242 patients with AIS due to anterior circulation LVO received EVT in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from February 2018 to September 2022. The clinical and imaging data of all patients were analyzed retrospectively. On follow-up MRI within 7 days after EVT, CSVD features [white matter hyperintensity (WMH), lacune, perivascular space, cerebral microbleed, cerebral atrophy] and CSVD burden score (0-5) was evaluated. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 90 days after EVT was assessed. Patients were categorized into a mild burden group (0-1 points) and a moderate-severe burden group (2-5 points) based on CSVD burden score. Meanwhile, patients were categorized into a good prognosis group (0-2 points) and a bad prognosis group (3-6 points) based on mRS score at 90 days after EVT. Mann-Whitney U test and χ2 test were used to compare the difference of clinical and imaging indexes between the 2 groups, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included in the multifactorial logistic regression to screen for independent factors to predict the prognosis. Results:There were 169 patients in the good prognosis group and 73 patients in the bad prognosis group out of 242 patients. Compared with the good prognosis group, age, incidence of hyperlipidemia, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, incidence of hemorrhagic conversion, CSVD burden scores, incidence of periventricular WMH scores of 3 and/or deep WMH scores≥2, and incidence of moderate-severe cerebral atrophy of patients in the bad prognosis group were higher, and the incidence of complete recanalization was lower (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed hyperlipemia ( OR=8.438, 95% CI 1.691-42.119, P=0.009), baseline NIHSS score ( OR=1.103, 95% CI 1.047-1.162, P<0.001), complete recanalization ( OR=0.131, 95% CI 0.038-0.454, P=0.001) and hemorrhage transformation ( OR=1.952, 95% CI 1.031-3.697, P=0.040) were independent factors for the prognosis of EVT in patients with LVO AIS. There were 157 cases in the mild burden group and 85 cases in the moderate-severe burden group. The 90-day mRS score was higher in the moderate-severe burden group compared with the mild burden group ( Z=-2.24, P=0.025). Conclusion:CSVD burden has some clinical implications in predicting the prognosis of EVT in patients with anterior circulation LVO AIS.
