Objective To develop a health-promoting lifestyle scale for women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS),and to test its reliability and validity,and preliminarily apply it.Methods Based on the Pender health promotion model,the item pool of the scale was constructed through literature research,semi-structured interviews and group discussions.After 2 rounds of Delphi expert consultation and pre-survey,the initial scale was formed.From April to July 2022,316 patients with PCOS in the health management center,reproductive medicine center and endocrinology department of a tertiary hospital in Nanjing were selected for item analysis,exploratory factor analysis and reliability test,respectively.From August to October 2022,358 PCOS patients were selected for confirmatory factor analysis.From November 2022 to February 2013,294 PCOS patients were selected,and the scale was used to investigate the status of health-promoting lifestyle in PCOS patients.Results The health-promoting lifestyle scale for PCOS patients included 5 dimensions and 33 items.The total content validity index of the scale was 0.942,and the content validity index of each item was 0.810-1.000.5 common factors were extracted by 2 exploratory factor analyses,and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 62.399％.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was good.The Cronbach's a coefficient of the total scale was 0.930;the split-half reliability was 0.842;the test-retest reliability was 0.888.The preliminary application results showed that the total score of health-promoting lifestyle in PCOS patients was(96.925±14.273),and the average score of items was(2.937±0.433),which was at a medium level.Conclusion The health-promoting lifestyle scale for PCOS patients has good reliability and validity,which can be used as a tool for medical staff to assess the level of health-promoting lifestyle of PCOS patients,and can help nurses to quickly identify the level and dimensions of health-promoting lifestyle of patients,so as to formulate individualized precise health management plans.

Objective To observe the efficacy of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)combined with lenvatinib for treating Barcelona clinic liver cancer(BCLC)stage B or C hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),and to explore the impact factors of patients'survival time.Methods Data of 104 patients with BCLC stage B or C HCC were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into observation group(n=46,underwent HAIC combined with lenvatinib)and control group(n=58,underwent HAIC alone).The clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of treatments,as well as patients'overall survival(OS)and progression free survival(PFS)were recorded and compared between groups.Cox regressions were used to explore the impact factors of patients'survival time.Results Three months and 6 months after HAIC,the results of modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors(mRECIST)in observation group were both better than those in control group(both P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between groups one year after HAIC(P＞0.05).The overall survival rate in observation group was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05),while there was no significant difference of progression free survival rate between groups(P＞0.05).The incidence of rash in observation group was higher than that in control group(P＜0.05).Multiple Cox regression showed prolonged OS in HCC patients in observation group(hazard ratio[HR]=0.425,95%CI[0.255,0.791])compared with that in control group.Compared with pre-treatment Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG)score 1,AFP≥400 μg/ml,the number of tumor foci≥3 and BCLC stage C,pre-treatment ECOG score 0,AFP＜400 μg/ml,the number of tumor foci≤2 and BCLC stage B were all independent protective factors of OS in HCC patients(all P＜0.05).Conclusion HAIC combined with lenvatinib was safe and effective for treating BCLC stage B or C HCC.Pre-treatment ECOG score,serum AFP level,the number of tumor foci and BCLC stage were all independent impact factors of OS.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the reasons for delayed medical treatment in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using the treatment pathway theory as a framework, and to propose corresponding strategies to guide timely medical care for PCOS patients.Methods:Purposeful sampling was used to select 14 PCOS patients who sought treatment at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School between November 2022 and May 2023. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and directed content analysis was applied to analyze and extract data.Results:The delay in seeking medical treatment for PCOS patients ranged from five to 60 months. Four main themes and 11 sub-themes were identified as reasons for treatment delays: misconception and delayed recognition of the disease (misunderstanding of symptoms, intermittent symptom presentation) ; delayed seeking of medical help (mismanagement of symptoms, feelings of shame, role conflict, distance and financial constraints, lack of social support) ; delayed diagnosis by healthcare providers (misdiagnosis by healthcare providers, lack of medical resources and services) ; and delayed participation in treatment (lack of health education from medical staff, no immediate fertility needs) .Conclusions:Delays in seeking medical care for PCOS patients are common. Efforts should be made to enhance public education on PCOS for adolescent and reproductive-age women, emphasize the management of the disease in patients without immediate fertility needs, improve primary healthcare institutions' capacity for managing PCOS, and mobilize the social support system to encourage patients to seek medical treatment early, thus reducing the occurrence of delayed medical care.

Objective:To explore the application effects of modified laparoscopic total extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) and laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) in inguinal hernia.Methods:One hundred and twenty-five patients with inguinal hernia in Yiwu Central Hospital from February 2017 to December 2019 were selected for retrospective study. They were divided into modified TEP group (63 cases) and TAPP group (62 cases). The modified TEP group was treated with modified TEP, and the TAPP group was treated with TAPP. The perioperative operation related indexes, serum oxidative stress indexes, 1-year recurrence rate and semen quality indexes were compared between the two groups.Results:The scores of visual analogue scale after operation for 24 h in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (1.68 ± 0.39) scores vs. (1.97 ± 0.46) scores, P<0.05. After operation for 3 d, the levels of serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (92.79 ± 8.82) μmol/L vs. (84.40 ± 7.36) μmol/L, (81.52 ± 9.37) U/L vs. (75.75 ± 8.50) U/L; and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the modified TEP group was lower than that in the TAPP group: (23.42 ± 3.3) μmol/L vs. (26.71 ± 3.92) μmol/L; the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in 1-year recurrence rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). One year after operation, the levels of acid phosphatase (ACP), fructose (FRU) and α- glucosidase (α- Glu) in the modified TEP group were higher than those in the TAPP group: (180.87 ± 20.15) kU/L vs. (159.85 ± 14.50) kU/L, (3.37 ± 0.84) g/L vs.(2.53 ± 0.67) g/L, (62.94 ± 6.25) kU/L vs. (43.96 ± 5.31) kU/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Both modified TEP and TAPP are effective methods for the treatment of inguinal hernia, but the former can reduce surgical trauma, recover quickly, and protect normal reproductive function.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Objective:To evaluate the associations of meeting intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) control goals with risk for incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among the adult hypertensive patients in China.Methods:We used data from adult hypertensive patients from the China Kadoorie Biobank. logistic regression models evaluated the influencing factors of meeting intensive and standard SBP control goals. Cox proportional hazard models evaluated the associations between meeting intensive vs. standard SBP control goals and risk for incident cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Results:A total of 3 628 hypertensive patients who reported continuous medication use were included in this study, of which 5.0% of the participants met the goals of intensive SBP control (≤130 mmHg). Participants with higher educational attainment ( OR=2.36,95% CI: 1.32-4.04), healthier diet ( OR=2.09,95% CI: 1.45-2.96), daily intake of fresh fruit ( OR=1.67,95% CI: 1.17-2.36) and combination treatment ( OR=1.82,95% CI: 1.03-3.09) were more likely to meet intensive SBP control goal after adjustment of age, sex and urban/rural areas. During an average follow-up of (10.0±3.7) years, 1 278 cases of composite cardiovascular outcome were recorded. This study did not find a statistical correlation between achieving the goal of enhanced SBP control and the occurrence of composite cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes ( HR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.63-1.25). For major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, and ischemic stroke, we observed a trend of decrease in risk of outcomes with more intensive SBP control (trend test P<0.05). Conclusions:We observed decreased risk for MACE and cerebrovascular diseases with more intensive SBP control. However, there was no significant risk reduction for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases when meeting the intensive SBP control goal, compared to the standard SBP control goal.

Objective:To construct the admission criteria and job responsibility scheme for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) case managers.Methods:The first draft of the scheme was constructed through literature research, pre-consultation and group discussion. From February to April 2022, the convenient sampling method was used to select 18 experts for two rounds of Delphi expert letter consultation. Analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weight of each indicator.Results:The effective response rates of the questionnaire for two rounds of expert inquiries were 94.74% (18/19) and 100.00% (18/18), respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.892 and 0.897, respectively. After two rounds of expert consultation, the Kendall's W of the first, second, and third level indexes for the admission criteria and job responsibilities of PCOS case managers were 0.361, 0.306, 0.283 and 0.250, 0.134, 0.142 ( P<0.05), respectively. The final admission criteria for PCOS case managers included 3 first level indicators, 8 second level indicators and 30 third level indicators. Their job responsibilities included 5 first level indicators, 13 second level indicators and 46 third level indicators. Conclusions:The admission standards and job responsibility scheme for PCOS case managers systematically and comprehensively reflect the characteristics of disease management for PCOS patients in China, which are reliable and scientific, and provide reference value for the screening and work practice of PCOS case managers.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of exercise intention in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .Methods:From March to July 2022, 174 PCOS patients admitted to the Health Management Center of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. A survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Exercise Intention Scale, Exercise Self-efficacy Scale and the Exercise Social Support Scale.Results:The Exercise Intention Scale score of 174 PCOS patients was 15.00 (13.00, 18.00). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, PCOS related disease visits, exercise self-efficacy, exercise social support, and exercise self-identification were the influencing factors of exercise intention in PCOS patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05), which could explain 42.4% of the total variation. Conclusions:The subjective intention of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome to participate in exercise needs further improvement. Medical and nursing staff should focus on patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who have low levels of education and fewer visits, and focus on enhancing their self-efficacy and self-identification in exercise. At the same time, medical and nursing staff should actively mobilize social support systems to promote their subjective intention to exercise at a high level.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of liver transplantation in children with Alagille syndrome (ALGS). Methods Clinical data of 12 children with ALGS were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Clinical characteristics of children with ALGS, pathological characteristics of liver tissues, characteristics of liver transplantation, postoperative complications and follow-up of children with ALGS were analyzed. Results JAG1 gene mutation and typical facial features was present in all 12 children. Jaundice was the most common initial symptom, which occurred at 7 (3, 40) d after birth. Upon liver transplantation, the Z scores of height and body weight were calculated as -2.14 (-3.11, -1.83) and -2.32 (-3.12, -1.12). Five children developed severe growth retardation and 4 children with severe malnutrition. Eight of 12 children were diagnosed with cardiovascular abnormalities. Pathological examination showed that the lobular structure of the diseased livers of 4 children was basically maintained, and 8 cases of nodular liver cirrhosis in different sizes including 1 case of single early moderately-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. Three children were misdiagnosed with biliary atresia and underwent Kasai portoenterostomy. Eight children underwent living donor liver transplantation, three children underwent cadaveric donor liver transplantation (two cases of split liver transplantation and one case of cadaveric total liver transplantation), and one child underwent domino liver transplantation (donor liver was derived from a patient with maple syrup urine disease). during the follow-up of 30.0(24.5, 41.7) months, the survival rates of the children and liver grafts were both 100%. During postoperative follow-up, the Z scores of height and body weight were calculated as -1.24 (-2.11, 0.60) and -0.83 (-1.65, -0.43), indicating that the growth and development of the children were significantly improved after operation. Conclusions Liver transplantation is an efficacious treatment for children with ALGS complicated with decompensated cirrhosis, severe itching and poor quality of life. For children with ALGS complicated with cardiovascular abnormalities, explicit preoperative evaluation should be delivered, and consultation with pediatric cardiologists should be performed if necessary.
