Objective:To evaluate and summarize the best evidence of energy and protein intake targets and calculation in adult critically ill patients, and to provide evidence-based basis for critical nutrition management.Methods:Evidence related to energy and protein intake targets and calculation of adult critically ill patients, including guideline, expert consensus, systematic review and evidence summary, were systematically searched in PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, Cochrane Library, UpToDate, BMJ Best Practice, Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), Web of Science, SinoMed, Medive, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, VIP database, Guidelines International Network (GIN), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), Registered Nurses Association of Ontario (RNAO), and Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) from January 2012 to June 2022. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the included literatures using the JBI Evidence-based Health Care Center evaluation tool and the Appraisal of Clinical Practice Guidelines for Research and Evaluation Ⅱ (AGREE Ⅱ), extracted and summarized the best evidence for the nutritional intake goal and calculation of adult critically ill patients, and described the evidence.Results:A total of 18 literatures were included, including 5 clinical guidelines, 8 expert consensus, 3 systematic reviews and 2 evidence summaries. After literature quality evaluation, 18 articles were all enrolled. The evidence was summarized from the four aspects, including energy target calculation method, dose body weight, energy and protein intake target, and calculation method, 24 pieces of the best evidence were finally formed.Conclusions:The best evidence of energy and protein intake targets and calculation for critically ill patients was summarized based on evidence-based. Clinical medical staff can choose indirect calorimetry to calculate energy goals when equipment is available. Patient's height, body weight should be recorded accurately, dose body weight can be determined by body mass index (BMI). Meanwhile, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) loss, fat-free body weight, simple formulas and other methods should be used to continuously evaluate and adjust protein intake targets, to achieve the purpose of optimizing intensive nutrition support.

With the wide application of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), to obtain treatment-free remission (TFR) has gradually become the long-term goal for patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). Self-renewing leukemia stem cells during disease progression are related with the recurrence, and surveillance of residual leukemic cells is hypothesized to be one of the critical factors in successful TFR. On the way to obtain TFR, many breakthroughs have been made in innate and adaptive immunity of CML cells. This paper reviews the immune function of CML patients, the role of the immune markers in maintaining TFR, and the exploration of TKI combined with new immunomodulator therapy to achieve a greater degree of TFR.

Objective:To improve the consistency of test results through reducing inter-laboratory variation in SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection with WHO SARS-CoV-2 antibody candidate international standard (IS, sample G) and antibody reference panel (samples E, F, H, I, J).Methods:Ten WHO samples (A-J) including the candidate IS and reference panel were evaluated using different methods, such as microneutralization tests based on live SARS-CoV-2, pseudovirus neutralization assay and commercial ELISA kits. The test results were compared using statistical analysis.Results:Using IS (sample G) as a reference, the relative concentrations of other samples could be determined with less variation. ELISA and pseudovirus neutralization assay had consistent results with those obtained with the microneutralization test based on SARS-COV-2 strain HB02. Weakly positive samples could be detected only by a certain kit.Conclusions:The availability of an IS for antibodies would facilitate the standardization of SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection methods. The reference panel fitted all the assays based on the SARS-CoV-2 prototype Wuhan strain. Pseudovirus neutralization assay and ELISA could be used as alternatives to live SARS-CoV-2-based neutralization test to some extent.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) catheter whole life cycle management system.Methods:An ICU catheter whole life cycle management system was constructed and applied in clinical practice. This study collected data on catheter management and hospital infection of patients in ICU of Zhejiang Hospital before the application of the catheter whole life cycle management system from April to December 2019 and after the application of the catheter whole life cycle management system from April to December 2020. The accuracy of catheter recording, the compliance rate of daily catheter nursing quality, and the incidence of major catheter-associated infections were compared before and after the application of the ICU catheter whole life cycle management system. The time-consuming of catheter information recording under the two methods of applying the ICU catheter whole life cycle management system and computer manual input was analyzed, and the nurses' experience of using the ICU catheter whole life cycle management system was investigated through semi-structured interviews.Results:After the application of the ICU catheter whole life cycle management system, the accuracy rate of catheter recording increased from 89.96% (22 491/25 001) to 96.09% (30 897/32 155) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The compliance rate of daily catheter nursing quality increased from 89.81% (22 453/25 001) to 95.94% (30 849/32 155) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in the incidence of major catheter-associated infections before and after system application ( P>0.05) . In addition, the time-consuming of catheter recording by nurses using the ICU catheter whole life cycle management system was less than that of manual input by computer, and the difference was statistically significant [ (0.98±0.28) min vs. (1.78±0.50) min, P<0.05] . The semi-structured interview results showed that nurses had a good experience in using the ICU catheter whole life cycle management system. Conclusions:The ICU catheter whole life cycle management system provides nurses with a systematic, convenient and standardized catheter management method. The system has a good user experience, can improve the accuracy of nurse catheter recording and the catheter nursing quality, and shorten catheter recording time. However, further studies are needed to confirm whether it helps to reduce the incidence of major catheter-associated infections.

Compared with non-invasive mechanical ventilation, HFNC could reduce the 24-hour respiratory rate in COPD patients [ WMD=-0.78, 95% CI (-1.48--0.08) , P=0.03], the incidence of nasal and facial pressure injury [ RR=0.14, 95% CI (0.05-0.39) , P=0.000 1] and improved 24-hour arterial blood pH [ WMD=0.03, 95% CI (0.01-0.04) , P<0.01]. Conclusions:Compared with non-invasive mechanical ventilation, HFNC can reduce the 24-hours respiratory rate, the incidence of nasal and facial pressure injury and improve the 24-hours arterial blood pH in COPD patients. However, more high-quality, multicenter randomized controlled trials are needed to verify the results of this study in the future.
