Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

The condition of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) complicated by corona virus 2019 disease (COVID-19) is complex. sTBI can significantly increase the probability of COVID-19 developing into severe or critical stage, while COVID-19 can also increase the surgical risk of sTBI and the severity of postoperative lung lesions. There are many contradictions in the treatment process, which brings difficulties to the clinical treatment of such patients. Up to now, there are few clinical studies and therapeutic norms relevant to sTBI complicated by COVID-19. In order to standardize the clinical treatment of such patients, Critical Care Medicine Branch of China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Healthcare and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on clinical treatment of adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury complicated by corona virus infection 2019 ( version 2023) based on the joint prevention and control mechanism scheme of the State Council and domestic and foreign literatures on sTBI and COVID-19 in the past 3 years of the international epidemic. Fifteen recommendations focused on emergency treatment, emergency surgery and comprehensive management were put forward to provide a guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of sTBI complicated by COVID-19.

To evaluate effects of PDCA cycle in improving residency diagnosis and treatment ability of endocrine and metabolic diseases, this paper selected the problems of insufficient diagnosis and treatment ability in the results of the endocrinology examination paper as the research breakthrough point, and investigated 62 residents receiving standardized residency training to analyze main reasons of the problems such as "busy clinical work", "special clinical thinking" and "difficult to remember knowledge of endocrinology". The study implemented information-based teaching and daily self-education, followed the law of memory, strengthened the construction of teaching staff, improved teaching methods, etc., and effects of these methods were assessed after the teaching. It's found that the application of PDCA cycle can improve the residents' ability of clinical diagnosis and treatment in endocrine and metabolic diseases.

Objective:To evaluate the quality of domestic and foreign hospice care practice guidelines for cancer patients, so as to provide a basis for the future development of scientific and systematic hospice care guidelines for cancer patients or the formulation of evidence-based nursing practice plans for hospice care of cancer patients in China.Methods:Practice guidelines on hospice care for cancer patients were systematically retrieved from domestic and foreign databases, guidelines and professional society websites from the establishment of the database to July 25, 2020. Two investigators screened the guidelines strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and evaluated the methodological quality of the included guidelines by using the currently internationally recognized guideline evaluation tool, the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation version Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ) .Results:A total of 14 guidelines were included for quality analysis, 9 guidelines were Grade A, 1 guidelines was Grade B, and 4 guidelines were Grade C. The average standardized scores of the 6 areas in AGREEⅡ of the 14 guidelines from high to low were scope and purpose (91.87%) , clarity (83.73%) , stakeholder (72.82%) , applicability (66.81%) , rigor (63.84%) and independence (58.04%) . The subject content analysis of 9 Grade A guidelines showed that common topics in the practice guidelines for hospice care of cancer patients included forming interdisciplinary teams, identification of end-of-life patients, assessment of end-of-life needs, end-of-life communication, providing of individualized nursing, end-of-life symptom management, bereavement support, support and training for nurses.Conclusions:Evidence-based guidelines for hospice care of cancer patients are lacking in China. The existing practice guidelines for hospice care of cancer patients in foreign countries are of high quality and cover a comprehensive range of topics, which can provide a reference for our country to formulate hospice care guidelines in line with national conditions or to transform the best evidence into our country's hospice care practice.

Objective:To compare the clinical utility of 18F-fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (FAPI)-42 and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT imaging in newly diagnosed lung cancer patients. Methods:From May 2020 to September 2021, the images of 43 lung cancer patients (32 males, 11 females, age: 37-80 years) who pathologically confirmed and received 18F-FDG and 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT within 2 weeks in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were prospectively analyzed. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) of 18F-FDG and 18F-FAPI-42 and the number of lesions detected by 2 imaging methods were compared by using paired t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results:The 43 newly diagnosed lung cancer patients included 35 adenocarcinoma, 2 squamous cell carcinoma, 4 small cell lung cancer, and 2 high-grade neuroendocrine tumors. 18F-FAPI-42 had a very high tumor uptake (SUV max: 12.24±3.97) and lesion detection rate (positive rate: 100%(37/37)) in primary lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The uptake of 18F-FAPI-42 in lymph node (10.13±5.43), pleura (6.75(4.96, 8.58)) and bone lesion (7.18(4.33, 9.66)) were significantly higher than those of 18F-FDG (6.35±3.30, 2.69(1.81, 5.00), 4.38(2.96, 6.36); t=12.19, z values: 5.47, 5.79, all P<0.001). In lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, although the uptake of 18F-FAPI-42 in brain metastases was significantly lower than that of 18F-FDG (0.72(0.15, 1.82) vs 6.53(4.65, 9.34); z=6.42, P<0.001), the tumor/background (T/B) ratio was significantly higher than that of 18F-FDG (3.54(1.15, 14.88) vs 0.96(0.77, 1.04); z=6.05, P<0.001). In lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, the number of lesions detected by 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT was significantly more than that of 18F-FDG (lymph node: 6.0(2.3, 11.5) vs 4.5(2.0, 10.8); brain: 2.0(1.0, 3.0) vs 0.0(0.0, 0.0); pleura: 6.0(2.8, 10.0) vs 4.0(0.8, 5.5); z values: 2.16, 3.10, 2.04, all P<0.05). However, in high-grade neuroendocrine tumors and small cell lung cancer, the SUV max of 18F-FAPI-42 in primary lesions (8.05±2.60), lymph node lesions (5.98±2.21) and brain lesions (0.44(0.13, 0.82)) were lower than those of 18F-FDG (16.28±5.17, 12.30±5.47, 4.94(4.84, 6.25); t values: 3.58, 7.52, z=3.06, all P<0.05). Conclusions:In lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, 18F-FAPI-42 has a very high tumor uptake and lesion detection rate in primary tumor. In addition, compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT, 18F-FAPI-42 PET/CT shows clearer tumor contours and more lesions. Therefore, 18F-FAPI-42 is more suitable for preliminary staging of lung adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma than 18F-FDG, while the opposite is true in small cell lung cancer and high-grade neuroendocrine tumors.

It’s found that the application of PDCA cycle can improve the residents' ability of clinical diagnosis and treatment in endocrine and metabolic diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of paclitaxel coated balloon in the treatment of symptomatic lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans.Methods From January 2016 to April 2017,64 patients with symptomatic lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans ( ASO ) of femoral and popliteal artery stenosis admitted to Chongming Branch Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were selected as the research subjects.According to the principle of randomization, they were divided into two groups, 32 cases in each group.In the drug?coated group, ordinary balloon was pre?expanded,and then paclitaxel drug?coated balloon was used to expand.If there were still retraction and stenosis of diseased vessels, which affected the blood flow of lower limbs, remedial stents were implanted.Bare stent group used a slightly smaller balloon to pre?expand superficial femoral artery and then release the stent.After one year follow?up, the changes of ankle?brachial index ( ABI), restenosis rate of target lesion vessels, Rutherford grading changes, clinical drive target vessel revascularization rate, perioperative period,death rate of patients during follow?up period, amputation rate and complication rate were observed.Results There were no amputations or deaths in the whole group during the perioperative period and follow?up.The incidence of complications in the drug?coated group was 3.1%( 1／32 ), significantly lower than that in the bare stent group 18.8%( 6／32) ( χ2 ＝4.010, P＝ 0.045).Before treatment,the ABI of patients in drug?coated group and bare stent group at 6 months and 12 months after treatment were significantly different ( Finter?group ＝ 7.028, Pinter?group ＝ 0.024, Fintra?group ＝ 219.028, Pintra?group＝0.000,Finteraction＝350.028,Pinteraction＝0.000),and ABI of the two groups at 12 months after treatment were (0.73± 0.11) and ( 0.68 ± 0.09),respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( t＝1.990, P＝0.025).Six months after operation, the restenosis rates of target lesions in the two groups were 9.4%(3／32) and 15.6%(5／32), respectively, with no significant difference ( χ2 ＝0.571, P＝0.450); The restenosis rate of bare stent group was 37.5%(12／32) 12 months after operation,which was significantly higher than that of drug?coated group by 15.6%(5／32) (χ2＝3.925,P＝0.048).Clinical observation results showed that 12 months after operation,the target?lesion revascularization (TLR) of the drug?coated group was 3.1%(1／32) and that of the bare stent group was 9.4%(3／32),with no significant difference.Rutherford grading was improved in both groups(χ2＝1.067,P＞0.05). Conclusion Paclitaxel drug?coated balloon is safe and effective in the treatment of symptomatic lower limb arteriosclerosis obliterans,which is worthy of clinical application.
