Objective:To establish the standard of nursing quality in bone oncology department, and provide the basis for scientific evaluation of nursing quality in bone oncology department.Methods:On the theoretical basis of Donabedian′s three-dimensional quality model of "structure-process-outcome", and through literature review and semi-structured interview method, the "evaluation index of nursing quality in bone oncology department" was preliminatively formulated from November 2022 to June 2023. The Delphi method was used to select 31 experts from 31 third-level A hospitals and nursing colleges in 27 provinces or municipalities across the country for two rounds of correspondence consultation. The criteria were screened and modified to determine the evaluation criteria of nursing quality in bone tumor specialty.Results:The questionnaire recovery rate of 2 rounds of expert consultation was 100.00%, the authority coefficient of 2 rounds of expert consultation was 0.93, and the coefficient of variation of 1, 2 and 3-grade standards were all less than or equal to 0.25. The Kendall′s coefficient of concordance of the primary standards of the two rounds of expert consultation were both 0.088, in the secondary standards were 0.103 and 0.140, in the tertiary standards were 0.119 and 0.110. Through 2 rounds of expert letter consultation, the evaluation criteria for the quality of care in bone tumor specialties were divided into three levels, including 3 primary standards (structural quality criteria, process quality criteria and outcome quality criteria), 21 secondary standards and 80 tertiary standards.Conclusions:The construction process of nursing quality standard in bone oncology department is scientific and reliable, reflecting specialty characteristics, and can provide scientific basis for the evaluation of nursing quality in bone oncology department and standardize nursing behavior.

Objective:To observe and analyze depression-like behavioral performances of mouse models of vitiligo.Methods:Fifteen female C57BL/6 mice aged about 9 weeks were modeled for vitiligo. Whether the mouse models of vitiligo were successfully constructed or not was determined by macroscopy and full-thickness epidermal immunofluorescence staining of mouse tail tissues on day 23 after the start of the experiment; on day 8 (pre-modeling stage) and day 21 (early modeling stage), the elevated plus maze test and the open field test were used to evaluate the behavioral performances of the mice, including the number of entry into the open arms, percentages of time spent in the open arms, percentages of time spent in the central area and total distance traveled, aiming to assess whether depression-like behaviors were exhibited in the mouse models of vitiligo. To further clarify the degree of the impact of vitiligo modeling on the depression-like state in mice, 20 female C57BL/6 mice were equally divided into 2 groups: vitiligo modeling group and vitiligo modeling + chronic restraint stress group; the mice in the vitiligo modeling + chronic restraint stress group were subjected to chronic restraint stress on day 9, that is, these mice were placed in centrifuge tubes and restrained for about 6 hours every day for 28 consecutive days; on days 7, 22, 29 and 38 after the start of vitiligo modeling, the above-mentioned behavioral indicators were determined by the elevated plus maze test and open field test in the 2 groups. Repeated measurement data in a single group were compared before and after treatment by using paired t-test, and repeated measurement data at multiple time points were compared by using two-way repeated measures analysis of variance. Results:By macroscopy, the mice gradually developed well-defined white patches on the tail skin during vitiligo modeling, which were similar to the clinical manifestations of vitiligo patients; on day 23, full-thickness epidermal immunofluorescence staining of the mouse tail tissues was conducted and showed obvious infiltration of CD8 + T cells and a decrease in the number of Melan-A-positive epidermal melanocytes under a laser confocal microscope, which were consistent with typical pathological characteristics of vitiligo; based on the macroscopic results and immunofluorescence findings, a total of 12 mouse models of vitiligo were successfully constructed on day 23. The elevated plus maze test showed that the number of entry into the open arms and the percentages of time spent in the open arms were significantly lower in the 12 mouse models of vitiligo on day 21 (2.33 ± 1.78 times, 5.01% ± 5.27%, respectively) than in those on day 8 (10.75 ± 2.30 times, 29.20% ± 12.48%, t = 9.63, 6.36, respectively, both P < 0.001) ; the open field test showed that the percentages of time spent in the central area and total distance traveled were also significantly lower in the mouse models on day 21 (2.31% ± 1.53%, 2 518.31 ± 528.38 cm, respectively) than in those on day 8 (4.47% ± 2.65%, 3 533.45 ± 465.47 cm, t = 2.40, 5.47, P = 0.036, < 0.001, respectively). In the chronic restraint stress test, a total of 14 mouse models of vitiligo were successfully constructed on day 23, including 5 in the vitiligo modeling group and 9 in the vitiligo modeling + chronic restraint stress group. There were no significant differences in the number of entry into the open arms, percentages of time spent in the open arms, percentages of time spent in the central area, and total distance traveled between the vitiligo modeling group and the vitiligo modeling + chronic restraint stress group on days 7, 22, 29, and 38 ( F = 0.21, 0.20, 0.46, 2.35, P = 0.889, 0.893, 0.719, 0.134, respectively) ; moreover, all the above indicators significantly changed over time (all P < 0.001), except for the total distance traveled ( P = 0.422) . Conclusion:The mouse models of vitiligo developed depression-like behavior at the early modeling stage, and the degree of depression could not be further deepened by chronic restraint stress on the basis of vitiligo modeling.

Hip fracture in the elderly is characterized by high incidence, high disability rate, and high mortality and has been recognized as a public health issue threatening their health. Surgery is the preferred choice for the treatment of elderly patients with hip fracture. However, lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) has an extremely high incidence rate during the perioperative period, and may significantly increase the risk of patients′ death once it progresses to pulmonary embolism. In response to this issue, the clinical guidelines and expert consensuses all emphasize active application of comprehensive preventive measures, including basic prevention, physical prevention, and pharmacological prevention. In this prevention system, basic prevention is the basis of physical and pharmacological prevention. However,there is a lack of unified and definite recommendations for basic preventive measures in clinical practice. To this end, the Orthopedic Nursing Professional Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association and Nursing Department of the Orthopedic Branch of the China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care organized relevant nursing experts to formulate Expert consensus on perioperative basic prevention for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis in elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2024) . A total of 10 recommendations were proposed, aiming to standardize the basic preventive measures for lower extremity DVT in elderly patients with hip fractures during the perioperative period and promote their subsequent rehabilitation.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.

Hip fractures are among the most common fractures in the elderly, presenting to be a leading cause of disability and mortality. Surgical treatment is currently the main treatment method for hip fractures. The incidence of perioperative malnutrition is increased after hip fractures in the elderly due to the comorbidities, decreased basal metabolic rate, accelerated protein breakdown, weakened anabolism and surgical stress. However, malnutrition not only increases the incidence of postoperative complications, but also leads to increased mortality, indicating an important role of perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. At present, there still lacks scientific guidance and application standards on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for the elderly patients with hip fractures. Therefore, the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Expert consensus on perioperative nursing management of nutrition for elderly patients with hip fractures ( version 2023) according to evidence-based medical evidences and their clinical experiences. Fourteen recommendations were made from aspects of nutrition screening, nutrition assessment, nutrition diagnosis, nutrition intervention and nutrition monitoring to provide guidance for perioperative nursing management of nutrition in elderly patients with hip fractures.

Objective:To analyze clinical and histopathological features of malignant transformation of congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) .Methods:From January 2010 to September 2020, 98 patients with clinically and pathologically confirmed malignant transformation of CMN were enrolled from Xijing Hospital, Air Force Medical University, and their clinical and histopathological features as well as immunohistochemical staining and genetic testing results were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 98 patients with malignant transformation of CMN, 45 (45.9%) were males and 53 (54.1%) were females. Their ages ranged from 4 months to 86 years, with a median age of 47 years. The lesions were located on the trunk (34 cases, 34.7%), limbs (25 cases, 25.5%), acra (24 cases, 24.5%), head, face and neck (13 cases, 13.3%), and mucosa (2 cases, 2.0%). Among the 98 patients, 95 (96.9%) had a history of obvious changes in lesions (sudden enlargement, newly developed papules, ulceration, itching, or pain), and the interval time from obvious changes in lesions to diagnosis varied from 2 weeks to 5 years; among the 95 cases, the average age at the onset of obvious changes in lesions was 46 years, and the changes of lesions occurred before the age of 18 years in 4 cases (4.1%), occurred between the age of 18 and 40 years in 35 (35.7%), and occurred after the age of 40 years in 56 (57.1%). In addition, 55 (57.9%) patients experienced a sudden enlargement of primary lesions, 52 (54.7%) developed ulcers in the primary lesions, 21 (22.1%) developed red or black papules or nodules on the surface of primary lesions, 4 (4.2%) developed subcutaneous masses, 2 (2.1%) had itching, and 1 (1.1%) only had pain. The remaining 3 (3.1%) patients experienced slow enlargement of primary lesions. Among the 98 cases of melanoma originating from CMN, 85 (86.7%) arose from small CMN, 11 (11.2%) from medium CMN, and 2 (2.0%) from large CMN. Histopathological examination showed no residual nevus cells in 86 (87.8%) cases, which only had characteristics of typical melanoma; residual nevus cells were only seen in 12 (12.2%) cases, and melanoma cells in the 12 cases all expressed HMB45, while residual nevus cells did not express HMB45 in 11 of 12 cases. Immunohistochemical staining for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) was conducted in 7 cases, and 6 showed negative staining in tumor cells and positive staining in residual nevus cells. BRAF gene detection was conducted in lesional tissue specimens from 22 patients, and it was negative in 1 case of melanoma originating from large CMN and 10 (47.6%) cases of melanoma from small CMN, and positive in 11 (52.4%) cases of melanoma from small CMN.Conclusion:The malignant transformation of CMN mostly occurred on the trunk, and was commonly observed in patients aged over 40 years; most patients had a history of obvious changes (sudden enlargement, newly developed papules, ulceration, etc.) in lesions before diagnosis, and a few patients only felt itching or pain in lesions; immunohistochemical staining of HMB45 and 5hmC could help to distinguish melanoma cells from dermal nevus cells; confirmation of the diagnosis of malignant transformation in CMN should be closely combined with clinical and histopathological results.

Objective:To investigate clinical and histopathological features of Meyerson nevus.Methods:Clinical and histopathological data were collected from 6 patients with confirmed Meyerson nevi in Department of Dermatology, the Fourth Military Medical University from January 2015 to January 2019, and retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 6 patients, 3 were males and 3 were females, with a median age of 10.5 years (range, 7 months to 28 years). Skin lesions were located on the extremities of 3 cases, as well as on the trunk of 3 cases. Meyerson nevi arose from congenital pigmented nevi in 4 cases, as well as from acquired pigmented nevi in 2 cases. The duration of pigmented nevi varied from 7 months to 18 years. Four patients felt itching in the past 2 months, and 2 had no concomitant symptoms such as itching. Central pigmented nevi manifested as papules in 5 cases and a plaque in 1 case, which were brown or black in color, with regular shapes, uniform pigmentation and clear borders. Pigmented nevi were surrounded by a halo of erythema in 6 cases, and skin lesions were covered with scales or crusts in 4 cases. Histopathological examination of Meyerson nevi revealed characteristics of both pigmented nevus and eczema. Histopathologically, pigmented nevi manifested as junctional nevi or compound nevi, and eczema manifested as serous exudation, irregular epidermal hyperplasia, spongiosis and perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes in the superficial dermis.Conclusions:Meyerson nevus is rare, and mostly occurs on the trunk and extremities. When itching occurs or erythema appears around the pigmented nevus, the diagnosis of Meyerson nevus should be considered.

From 1960 to 1990, some Chinese dermatologists noticed that a small number of patients presenting with granulomatous inflammation on the face eventually died of encephalitis. In 2001, Dr. Tianwen Gao summarized clinical and pathological characteristics of these patients and proposed the disease name "fatal bacterial granuloma after trauma", and Propionibacterium acnes was assumed to be the most probable pathogen at that time. In 2018, the disease was confirmed to be Balamuthia mandrillaris infection involving the skin and brain tissues. This review summarized the history of research on Balamuthia mandrillaris infection in China, as well as its clinical, pathological characteristics and treatment methods.

Objective:To analysis clinical and histopathological features of solitary dermal melanoma (SDM) .Methods:Clinical and histopathological data were collected from 5 patients with SDM, and analyzed retrospectively.Results:The 5 patients with SDM presented with black, skin-colored or red papules or nodules without any specific anatomic predilection. These lesions pathologically manifested as localized dermal/subcutaneous solitary nodules with characteristics of malignancy but no obvious capsules, and the epidermis was not involved.Conclusion:Detailed clinical data and skin histopathological examination are the key to accurate diagnosis of SDM.

Objective:To establish a melanoma cell line derived from a Chinese female patient of Han nationality with metastatic melanoma, and to study its basic biological characteristics.Methods:Metastatic melanoma cells were isolated from axillary lymph nodes of a 17-year-old female patient with malignant melanoma, and subjected to culture in vitro to establish a cell line. Short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping was performed to compare the information about the cell line and its derived tissue, and to detect gene mutations; cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was conducted to assess the cellular proliferative activity, and soft agar cloning assay to assess the anchorage-independent proliferation; karyotype analysis was performed to determine the number and structure of chromosomes; with the highly aggressive melanoma cell line A2058 and keratinocyte line HaCaT serving as controls, Transwell assay was conducted to detect differences in cell migratory and invasive abilities, cell immunofluorescence assay and Western blot analysis were performed to determine the protein expression of melanoma-specific markers HMB45, S100 and Melan-A; the tumorigenicity was evaluated in vivo in a tumor-bearing mouse model. Results:A melanoma cell line was successfully established and named ZJMM-45, which was cultured for more than 70 passages over a 1-year period, and showed a stable shape and proliferative activity. The cells were spindle-shaped or polygonal, and could produce melanin. STR matching analysis showed that the ZJMM-45 sample was 96% matched with the cryopreserved lymph node tissue of the patient, suggesting that they were from the same source. A tumor-related gene BRAF V600E mutation (c.1799T>A) was identified in the ZJMM-45 cell line; karyotype analysis revealed that ZJMM-45 cells had triploid chromosomes and abnormal structures. ZJMM-45 cells grew exponentially in vitro and reached a plateau-phase in growth on day 5; the cells grew clonally and formed colonies in agar, showing anchorage-independent and malignant proliferative activity. Cell immunofluorescence assay and Western blot analysis showed that both ZJMM-45 and A2058 cells expressed HMB45, S100 and Melan-A; Transwell assay revealed that the numbers of invasive and migratory ZJMM-45 cells (300 ± 14, 260 ± 14, respectively) were significantly higher than those of invasive and migratory A2058 cells (150 ± 6, 160 ± 19, t = 13.25, 11.76, respectively, both P < 0.001) . The tumor-bearing mouse experiment showed that all 5 nude mice developed tumors with an inner diameter of 1.0 cm after 4 weeks, and the tumors were histopathologically characterized by proliferating hyperchromatic melanoma cell nuclei and formation of small nests, which were similar to primary solid tumors. Conclusion:The metastatic melanoma cell line ZJMM-45 derived from a Chinese patient with melanoma was successfully constructed, which carried the BRAF V600E mutation and expressed melanoma-specific markers, and was characterized by rapid proliferation, invasion and metastasis in both in vivo and in vitro culture, as well as obvious tumorigenicity in the in vivo experiment.
