Objective:To develop an intervention program for symptom clusters in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) during the consolidation and reinforcement phase based on symptom management theory from a sociopsychological perspective.Methods:An initial draft of the intervention program for symptom clusters in children with ALL during the consolidation and reinforcement phase was prepared through literature review and group discussions. Purposeful sampling was used to select 20 experts as respondents for a Delphi method consultation. After two rounds of expert consultations, adjustments and improvements were made to the relevant indicators, resulting in the final version of the intervention program.Results:The effective response rates for the two rounds of expert consultations were 80% (16/20) and 100% (20/20), respectively. The authority coefficients for the experts were 0.816 and 0.838, while the Kendall's coordination coefficients were 0.207 and 0.397 ( P<0.01 for both rounds). The final intervention program comprised 3 primary items, 7 secondary items, and 27 tertiary items. Conclusions:The intervention program for symptom clusters in children with ALL during the consolidation and reinforcement phase, developed from a sociopsychological perspective, demonstrates scientific validity, reliability, and feasibility. It can offer guidance and reference for symptom management in children with ALL.

Objective:To construct a quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) .Methods:From August to November 2021, a quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with DDH was established through literature review, group discussion, and Delphi expert consultation. The analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights of various indicators. The positive coefficient of experts was expressed by the effective response rate of the questionnaire. The authority level of experts was represented by the authority coefficient ( Cr) , which was determined by the expert judgment coefficient ( Ca) and the expert familiarity level ( Cs) . The degree of coordination of expert opinions was represented by the Kendall harmony coefficient (Kendall's W) . The degree of concentration of expert opinions was represented by the average score of importance assignment, coefficient of variation, and full score rate. Results:The effective response rates of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaires were 90.00% and 100.00%, respectively. The Cr of experts in two rounds were 0.785 and 0.815, and the Kendall harmony coefficients were 0.098-0.193 and 0.147-0.212 ( P<0.05) . In the second round of expert consultation, the average scores of importance assignment for all levels of indicators were≥4.0, with coefficients of variation of 0-0.24 and a full score rate of ≥50%. The final quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with DDH included 3 first-level indicators, 9 second-level indicators, and 37 third-level indicators. In the consistency test results of each indicator at all levels, all of the CI were <0.001, and all of the CR were<0.001. Conclusions:The construction process of the quality evaluation index system for postoperative rehabilitation in children with DDH is scientific, and the weight distribution of the indicators is reasonable, which can be used as an effective tool for evaluating the postoperative rehabilitation quality of DDH children.

Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is the recognized precancerous lesion and risk factor for esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC), and has a high miss diagnosis rate and low survival rate when malignantly transformed into EAC, moreover, there are only limited monitoring method and treatment. Therefore, the screening of biomarkers is highly expected, especially the risk stratification biomarkers related to the progression of malignant transformation of BE. Such biomarkers can help to determine early, quickly and accurately the disease process, and guide the stratified management and precise treatment of BE, reduce the malignancy rate and mortality. This article focused on the dynamic evolutionary process of intra‑tumor heterogeneity, and reviewed the current status and challenges of research on BE biomarkers in risk stratification from the genetics, epigenetics and serology perspectives.

Objective:To explore the application effect of family-centered empowerment model (FCEM) in rehabilitation nursing of children with femoral shaft fractures treated by skin traction.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 107 children with femoral shaft fractures treated with skin traction in Anhui Children′s Hospital from April 2019 to October 2021, including 67 males and 40 females; aged 1.5-5.0 years [2.8(2.0, 3.5)years]. Fracture types included oblique fracture ( n=50), comminuted fracture ( n=26), transverse fracture ( n=14) and spiral fracture ( n=17). FCEM nursing was implemented in 55 patients (family empowerment group) and routine home rehabilitation nursing guidance was performed in 52 patients (routine nursing group). The face, legs, activity, cry, consolability (FLACC) behavioral score on admission and at days 1, 3 and 7 after skin traction, treatment compliance rate at 1 month after skin traction, complication rate at 1 month after skin traction, length of hospital stay and fracture healing time were compared between the two groups. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-18 weeks [13.4(12.7, 13.9)weeks]. There was no significant difference in FLACC behavioral score between the two groups on admission ( P>0.05). The FLACC behavioral score was (4.0±0.7)points,(3.4±0.6)points and (2.4±0.6)points in family empowerment group at days 1, 3 and 7 after skin traction, lower than (4.8±0.7)points, (3.9±0.8)points and (3.3±0.5)points in routine nursing groups (all Ρ<0.01). One month after skin traction, treatment compliance was excellent in 51 patients, good in 4, poor in 0, with treatment compliance rate of 92.7% (51/55) in family empowerment group, and was excellent in 40 patients, good in 9, poor in 3, with treatment compliance rate of 76.9% (40/52) in routine nursing group ( Ρ<0.05). The complication rate was 5.4% (3/55) in family empowerment group, lower than 21.2% (11/52) in routine nursing group ( Ρ<0.05). The length of hospital stay and fracture healing time were (15.6±0.3)days and (7.1±0.8)weeks in family empowerment group, shorter than (16.8±0.3)days and (8.2±0.4)weeks in routine nursing group (all Ρ<0.01). Conclusion:For children with femoral shaft fractures treated by skin traction, nursing using FCEM can alleviate pain, improve treatment compliance, reduce complication rate, reduce hospital stay and shorten fracture healing time.
