The nursing experience of a severe crusted scabies patient with multiple underlying diseases based on the multidisciplinary treatment(MDT)mode was reported.To avoid the nosocomial scabies outbreaks and promote disease control,the key points of nursing included:precise treatment and care for underlying diseases based on MDT model;application of 20％sulfur ointment to smear whole body skin to kill scabies mites and strict contact isolation;respiratory support and airway management to improve respiratory failure;alleviation of itching and pain to enhance patient comfort;quantitative assessment of mental state and sleep condition,implementation of psychological nursing to improve sleep quality;to implement individualized nutrition,blood glucose management,pulmonary rehabilitation program and targeted follow-up guidance.After 28 days of meticulous care,the patient's condition was stable with controlled scabies and gradually alleviated severe itching.Sleep quality was improved,and no scabies transmission occurred in the hospital.The patient was transferred to the community hospital for further rehabilitation.

Background Steel workers are exposed to occupational hazardous factors such as dust, noise, and heat, and often work in shifts, making them prone to sleep disorders. Objective To explore potential influencing factors of sleep disorders among workers in a steel enterprise in Gansu Province, and provide a basis for reducing the risk of sleep disorders among them. Methods From January to March 2022, a self-made questionnaire combined with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to investigate the employees of a steel enterprise in Gansu Province. According to their PSQI scores, they were divided into a normal sleep group and a sleep disorder group. The general demographic variables of the two groups were balanced by 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM). Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the contributing factors of sleep disorders. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was used to analyze potential dose-response relationship between weekly working hours and sleep disorders. Results The prevalence of sleep disorders in the steel workers was 48.06% (6029/12544). After PSM, 5847 pairs were successfully matched, and the distributions of matched variables were well balanced between the two groups. The results of multiple logistic regression showed that hypertension (OR=1.39, 95%CI: 1.24, 1.56), diabetes mellitus (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.66), three-shift system (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.12, 1.41), dust exposure (OR=1.14, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.29), noise exposure (OR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.09, 1.39), heat exposure (OR=1.16, 95%CI: 1.04, 1.29), and work injury (OR=1.22, 95%CI: 1.02, 1.46) increased the risk of sleep disorders. Compared with workers with < 10 years of service, those with 10-20 years (OR=1.31, 95%CI: 1.19, 1.44), 20-30 years (OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.19, 1.52), and ≥30 years of service (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.19, 1.53) had a higher risk of sleep disorders. Compared with non-exercise workers, the risk of developing sleep disorders was lower in workers with occasional exercise (OR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.56, 0.66) and regular exercise (OR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.49, 0.62). The RCS model showed that the weekly working hours and sleep disorders in the steel workers showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship (P<0.05 for overall trend, P<0.05 for nonlinear test). The relationship between weekly working hours and sleep disorders showed a "U" shaped distribution, with a significant increase in the risk of sleep disorders when the weekly working hours exceeded 49 h. Conclusion The non-occupational influencing factors of sleep disorders of employees in the steel enterprise include hypertension, diabetes, physical exercise, and occupational influencing factors include length of service, weekly working hours, shifts, dust exposure, noise exposure, heat exposure, and work injuries. It is recommended to consider both occupational and non-occupational factors to formulate appropriate sleep disorder prevention and control measures for steel employees to reduce the risk of sleep disorders.

As the overweight and obese population is growing， the incidence of obstructive sleep apnea is rising， and most of the cases are complicated with coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases. The two diseases affect each other and seriously endanger the patients' health， becoming a major public health problem of global concern. It is of great clinical importance to explore the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Researchers have explored the relationship between the two based on traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） theory and found that the two diseases belong to the TCM disease categories of chest impediment and snoring， respectively， and their co-morbidity is associated with the abnormal physiological functions of the heart and lungs. The failure of the heart to govern blood leads to the generation of blood stasis， and that of the lung to govern Qi movement leads to the generation of phlegm. The accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis in the chest causes chest impediment and snoring due to obstruction of the airway. This paper discusses the internal linkage between the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Chinese and Western medicine from the TCM theory of heart-lung correlation. Furthermore， this paper proposes the treatment principles of simultaneously treating the heart and lung and activating blood and resolving phlegm， aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease complicated with obstructive sleep apnea.

Objective:Central nervous system leukemia(CNSL)is one of the main causes of recurrence and death in patients with acute leukemia.This study aims to dynamically monitor minimal residual disease(MRD)in cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow of patients with different types of acute leukemia by flow cytometry(FCM),and to compare the timeliness and consistency of MRD detection between the 2 methods to further explore the application value of monitoring MRD in cerebrospinal fluid. Methods:A total of 199 patients with acute leukemia admitted to the Guangdong Provincial people's Hospital between October 2018 and January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,and multiparametric FCM method was adopted to summarize and analyze MRD in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with different types of leukemia and MRD in cerebrospinal fluid and bone marrow specimens of the same patients,and its role in assessing the prognostic value of patients was discussed. Results:Among the 199 acute leukemia cases,a total of 31 cases(15.58%)were positive MRD in the cerebrospinal fluid,of which 18 cases(58%)were detected earlier than the corresponding bone marrow specimens.Among the 19 patients with acute T lymphoblastic leukemia,134 patients with acute B lymphoblastic leukemia,and 46 patients with acute myeloid leukemia counted,there were 4,18,and 9 patients with positive MRD in the cerebrospinal fluid.The Kappa value of the concordance test between the results of cerebrospinal fluid MRD and bone marrow MRD in different types of acute leukemia was only 0.156,demonstrating a low concordance between them. Conclusion:Dynamic monitoring of cerebrospinal fluid MRD by FCM can be used as a monitoring index for central nervous system leukemia,and monitoring cerebrospinal fluid can detect MRD earlier compared with bone marrow,which complements each other as a sensitive index for evaluating prognosis with significant guidance in clinic.

Objective:To evaluate the hemodynamic changes and short-term (one year) outcomes after superficial temporal artery(STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass by vascular ultrasonography.Methods:Operation group included a total of 41 hemispheres of 38 patients who underwent STA-MCA bypass for severe stenosis or occlusion of MCA or severe stenosis or occlusion of internal carotid artery(ICA), or Moyamoya disease at Xuanwu Hospital between August 2017 and June 2020. The following examinations were performed in all patients: cranial MRI, CT perfusion imaging, and cerebral angiography. All of the patients were retrospectively followed up for one year postsurgery. Normal group included a total of 40 hemispheres of 20 healthy people who had been examined by vascular ultrasonography of carotid artery and intracranial artery. Inner diameter, peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), mean velocity (MV), resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI) and flow of STA, PSV, EDV, MV, PI, RI of external carotid artery (ECA) and PSV, EDV, MV, PI, RI of MCA at 1 week, 6 months and 12 months after STA-MCA bypass of operation group were compared with normal group.Results:①Inner diameter, PSV, MV and flow of STA were increased significantly in operation group at 1 week, 6 and 12 months than normal group (all P<0.05). The flow of STA was decreased significantly from 1 week to 12 months after operation (all P<0.05), but Inner diameter, PSV and MV were only decreased gradually from 1 week to 12 months after operation (all P>0.05). ②STA/ECA PI and RI decreased significantly after operation compared with normal group (all P<0.01). Conclusions:Vascular ultrasonography is a non-invasive examination which can objectively evaluate the extracranial and intracranial hemodynamic changes after STA-MCA bypass, and provide reference effectiveness of the operation. The flow of STA has decreased gradually from 1 week to 12 months after operation to achieve the homeostasis, but it is still higher than normal.STA/ECA PI and RI can be a steady indirect pointer to show the fluency of bypass.

Objective:To investigate the present situation of unintended pregnancy within two years postpartum and its influencing factors in China.Methods:Participants who delivered a live birth at 60 hospitals in 15 provinces in the eastern, central and western regions of China during July 2015 to June 2016 were interviewed by using structured questionnaire. Information on occurrence of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery, postpartum contraceptive use, sexual resumption, breastfeeding, and women′s socio-demographic characteristics, and so on, were collected. Life-table analysis, cluster log-rank tests and a 2-level Cox regression model were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 18 045 postpartum women were investigated. The cumulative 1- and 2-year unintended pregnancy rates after delivery were 5.3% (95% CI: 4.5%－6.1%) and 13.1% (95% CI: 11.3%－14.8%), respectively. Cox regression model analysis showed that the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years postpartum were increased in younger women, ethnic minorities, women with abortion history, and those who had a vaginal delivery with short lactation time and late postpartum contraceptive initiation (all P<0.01). The risk of postpartum unintended pregnancy was not associated with geographic regions and hospitals where women gave a birth (all P>0.05). Conclusions:In China, the risk of unintended pregnancy within 2 years after delivery is relatively high. Service institutions and service providers should improve the quality of postpartum family planning services, promote the use of high effect contraceptive methods, and educate women to use a method at the time of their sexual resumption or even before.

Objective:To explore the relevant factors for remote diffusion-weighted imaging lesions (R-DWILs) in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods:Two hundred and three patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2019, were enrolled. According to the presence of R-DWILs, these patients were divided into positive group ( n=39) and negative group ( n=164). The basic information of R-DWILs in the positive group was analyzed. The basic demographic and clinical data and laboratory examination results were collected and compared between the two groups. Subsequently, the items with P<0.1 were included in the multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the independent influencing factors for R-DWILs. Results:A total of 55 R-DWILs were detected in 39 patients (19.2%) with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, including 45 in the cortical and subcortical area (81.8%), 8 in the basal ganglia area (14.5%), one in the brainstem area (1.8%), and one in the cerebellum area (1.8%). The diameter of these lesions ranged from 2-20 mm, which were round or oval, flaky, irregular and so on. Forty-two R-DWILs (76.4%) were in the contralateral hemisphere, and the number of R-DWILs was 1-3 in these patients. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), fasting blood glucose level in the positive group were significantly higher than those in the negative group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that fasting blood glucose level ( OR=1.632, 95%CI: 1.213-2.072, P=0.015), neutrophil count ( OR=1.037 , 95%CI: 1.019-1.581, P=0.042), and NLR ( OR=2.151 , 95%CI: 1.397-2.733, P=0.003) were independent influencing factors for R-DWILs. Conclusions:R-DWILs are common in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, the lesions mainly occur in the cortical and subcortical area, and it is more common in the contralateral hemisphere. Patients with high fasting blood glucose, neutrophil count, and NLR are trended to have R-DWILs.

Objective: To explore the genotypes and phenotypes of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) in Xinjiang Uygur children. Methods: The history of nine Uygur children with OI who were hospitalized in First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2013 to December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. They were classified into 4 types according to the classical Sillence classification. The genes associated with OI were detected, and the pathogenic variation was assessed by InterVar and Alamut software according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommendations. The phenotypes of children with different genotypes were further analyzed. Results: Nine cases aged 3 years and 6 monthes to 15 years were all clinically diagnosed as OI, the clinical manifes tations were repeated fractures, skeletal deformities,short stature, blue sclera, abnormol hearing, hypoplasia of dentin, and relaxation of Joint ligaments, among whom 6 was type Ⅲ OI, 3 were type Ⅳ OI. Nine mutations in 3 genes (COL1A1, COL1A2, and SERPINF1) were detected, and 5 of them were first reported and were all pathogenic variations. Conclusions The cinical phenotypes of osteogenesis imperfecta in Xinjiang Uygur are complex and varied, but all of them have fractures and skeletal deformities. Genotype is different from that reported at China and abroad, and the SERPINF1 gene may have a higher incidence in Uyghur population. The genetic heterogeneity and unique gene variation pedigree of Uyghur osteogenesis imperfecta defects further provide a basis for the correlation between genotype and phenotype of osteogenesis defects.

Objective:To explore a method of improving the nursing service ability after total hip arthroplasty (THA) among nurses in villages and towns medical health institutions under the county medical community model and to evaluate its effects.Methods:From June 1 2018 to September 30 2019, we took Department of Orthopedics, Dazhu County People's Hospital of Dazhou of Sichuan Province, as the core, and united with county medical community built by villages and towns medical health institutions with the country in organizing the nursing theoretical knowledge and specialist service ability training after THA for 140 nurses of villages and towns medical health institutions within county medical community. Before and after training, we carried out the theoretical test and practice ability test in trainers, and implemented the consistency analysis in scores of nursing assessment scales for specialist service so as to evaluate the subjective training effect. We also compared the incidence of postoperative complications, functional recovery of hip joint as well as the satisfaction among 30 THA patients before (October 2017 to September 2018) and after (October 2018 to September 2019) training so as to explore the clinical effect.Results:Before and after training, scores of theoretical achievements of nurses of villages and towns medical health institutions were 60 (56, 62) and 82 (79, 85) respectively, and scores of practice ability were 52 (47, 62) and 86 (81, 91) respectively with statistical differences ( P<0.01) . After training, the incidence of postoperative complications was lower than that before training (6.67% vs. 26.67%) ; the postoperative satisfaction, scores of Harris Hip Score (HHS) one month and three months after surgery were higher than those before training [90.00% vs. 66.67%, (73.1±6.00) vs. (57.6±6.67) , (86.6±4.49) vs. (74.5±6.20) ]among 30 THA patients with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Training with the county medical community model can improve the nursing service ability of nurses in villages and towns medical health institutions among THA patients, postoperative function of hip joint of THA patients as well as patient satisfaction.

Misuse and abuse of veterinary antimicrobial agents have led to an alarming increase in bacterial resistance, clinical treatment failure, and drug residues. To address these problems, consistent and appropriate dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents are needed. Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) models have been widely used to establish rational dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents that can achieve effective prevention and treatment of bacterial diseases and avoid the development of bacterial resistance. This review introduces building methods for PK/PD models and describes current PK/PD research progress toward rational dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents. Finally, the challenges and prospects of PK/PD models in the design of dosage regimens for veterinary antimicrobial agents are reviewed. This review will help to increase awareness of PK/PD modeling among veterinarians and hopefully promote its development and future use.
