Objective To investigate the implementation of surveillance,prevention and control measures for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in maternal and child healthcare(MCH)institutions,and provide policy evi-dence for optimizing HAI prevention and control in MCH institutions.Methods Stratified sampling was conducted among the MCH institutions at provincial,municipal and county levels in 8 provinces/autonomous regions.A uni-fied questionnaire was designed and the online survey was conducted through"Questionnaire Star".Results The data from 123 MCH institutions were included in the analysis.90.24％of the MCH institutions carried out compre-hensive surveillance on HAI.The ratios of MCH institutions which implemented targeted surveillance on HAI in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU),surgical site infection,multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)and HAI in intensive care units(non-NICU excluded)were 89.66％,85.96％,80.77％,and 74.19％,respectively.51.22％MCH institutions adopted information surveillance system on HAI cases.94.31％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on hand hygiene compliance.Over 90％MCH institutions carried out surveillance on environment hy-giene in high-risk departments.71.54％MCH institutions conducted centralized cleaning,disinfection,sterilization and supply for reusable medical instruments in the central sterile supply department(CSSD).Over 90％MCH insti-tutions established three-level pre-examination triage systems.86.18％set up transitional wards.MCH institutions generally adopted a management model with established effective communication,full appointment visits,and sepa-rate visits for special medical groups,such as registered pregnant women,high-risk newborns,healthcare groups,and long-term rehabilitation patients.However,the ratio of institutions conducting on-line follow-up visits was less than 50％.Conclusion MCH institutions have generally carried out comprehensive and targeted surveillance on HAI.Information surveillance need to be facilitated.Hand hygiene and environmental hygiene surveillance has been popularized to a certain extent at all levels of MCH institutions.The cleaning,disinfection,sterilization,and supply processes of reusable medical devices in a few MCH institutions are not standardized.Special medical populations get effective management.On-line healthcare is to be further promoted.

Objective To explore the application effect of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) in nursing risk management of emergency surgery for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Taking the HFMEA model as the theoretical framework, the emergency surgical process of TBI was analyzed, a flow chart was drawn, and the potential risk factors were analyzed. Corresponding intervention programs were adopted for high-risk failure modes, and 80 patients from November 2022 to April 2023 were conducted with routine management before implementation of HFMEA (control group), the other 80 patients from May to October 2023 were conducted with management after implementation of HFMEA (observation group). The surgical efficiency (preoperative waiting time, surgical preparation time, anesthesia induction time, postoperative handover time), the incidence rates of adverse events in the operation room (incomplete preparation of supplies, contamination of surgical drapes, insufficient or defective intraoperative instruments, errors in writing nursing records, incorrect or missing items in handover information), the incidence rates of perioperative complications (low intraoperative body temperature, pressure injury, abnormal fluctuations in vital signs during surgery, wound infection, lung infection) and satisfaction degree of surgical doctors to nurses for current operations (itinerant nurses, instrument nurses) were compared between two groups. Results The observation group had significantly shorter preoperative waiting time, surgical preparation time, anesthesia induction time, and postoperative handover time compared to the control group (P < 0.01). The incidence rate of adverse events in the operation room for the observation group was 16.25%, which was significantly lower than 46.25% of the control group (P < 0.01). The incidence rate of complications was 8.75% in the observation group, which was significantly lower than 26.25% in the control group (P < 0.01). Satisfaction degree of the doctors to nurses for the current operation in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Application of the HFMEA model in the perioperative nursing management of patients with emergency surgery for TBI can effectively improve surgical efficiency, reduce the incidence rates of nursing-related adverse events and complications, and enhance satisfaction degree of doctors to nurses in operation room.

Purpose::Ischemia and hypoxia are the main factors limiting limb replantation and transplantation. Static cold storage (SCS), a common preservation method for tissues and organs, can only prolong limb ischemia time to 4 - 6 h. The normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is a promising method for the preservation of tissues and organs, which can extend the preservation time in vitro by providing continuous oxygen and nutrients. This study aimed to evaluate the difference in the efficacy of the 2 limb preservation methods. Methods::The 6 forelimbs from beagle dogs were divided into 2 groups. In the SCS group ( n = 3), the limbs were preserved in a sterile refrigerator at 4 °C for 24 h, and in the NMP group ( n = 3), the perfusate prepared with autologous blood was used for the oxygenated machine perfusion at physiological temperature for 24 h, and the solution was changed every 6 h. The effects of limb storage were evaluated by weight gain, perfusate biochemical analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and histological analysis. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 9.0 one-way or two-way analysis of variance. The p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results::In the NMP group, the weight gained percentage was 11.72% ± 4.06%; the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α contents showed no significant changes; the shape of muscle fibers was normal; the gap between muscle fibers slightly increased, showing the intercellular distance of (30.19 ± 2.83) μm; and the vascular α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) contents were lower than those in the normal blood vessels. The creatine kinase level in the perfusate of the NMP group increased from the beginning of perfusion, decreased after each perfusate change, and remained stable at the end of perfusion showing a peak level of 4097.6 U/L. The lactate dehydrogenase level of the NMP group increased near the end of perfusion and reached the peak level of 374.4 U/L. In the SCS group, the percentage of weight gain was 0.18% ± 0.10%, and the contents of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α increased gradually and reached the maximum level of (164.85 ± 20.75) pg/mL at the end of the experiment. The muscle fibers lost their normal shape and the gap between muscle fibers increased, showing an intercellular distance of (41.66 ± 5.38) μm. The contents of vascular α-SMA were much lower in the SCS group as compared to normal blood vessels.Conclusions::NMP caused lesser muscle damage and contained more vascular α-SMA as compared to SCS. This study demonstrated that NMP of the amputated limb with perfusate solution based on autologous blood could maintain the physiological activities of the limb for at least 24 h.

Objective To observe the improvement effect and mechanism of salvianolic acid B on renal fibrosis mice.Methods Thirty-six BALB/c mice were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,salvianolic acid B low-,medium-and high-dose groups and VX765(caspase-1 inhibitor)group,with 6 mice in each group.Salvianolic acid B low-,medium-and high-dose groups were intragastrically administered with corresponding doses of 50,100,200 mg-kg-1-d-1 salvianolic acid B normal saline suspension,respectively,VX765 group was intragastrically administered with 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 VX765 normal saline suspension,and the sham operation group and the model group were intragastrically administered with the same volume of normal saline,once a day.After seven days,except for the sham operation group,the mice in other groups were treated with unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury combined with contralateral nephrectomy to establish an acute kidney injury-induced renal fibrosis model.After modeling,each group continued to be administered with the corresponding volume of drugs for 21 days.After the administration,the pathological changes of renal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining and Masson staining.The serum creatinine(SCr)was detected by sarcosine oxidase method.The urea nitrogen(BUN)was detected by urease method.The level of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL)was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The expression of fibrosis-related proteins fibrosis-related proteins α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA),vimentin and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)and pyroptosis-related proteins cleaved cysteine aspartate proteolytic enzyme 1(cl-caspase-1),pro-caspase-1(pro-caspase-1),NOD-like receptor hot protein domain-related protein 3(NLRP3),cleaved interleukin-1β(cl-IL-1β),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),GSDMD-N,GSDMD in renal tissue was detected by Western Blot.Results Compared with the sham operation group,the serum levels of SCr,BUN and NGAL in the model group were increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).HE and Masson staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration and a large amount of collagen deposition in the renal interstitium,and the expression levels of fibrosis-related proteins α-SMA,vimentin and TGF-β were increased(P＜0.01).The expression levels of pyroptosis-related proteins cl-caspase-1/pro-caspase-1,NLRP3,cl-IL-1β/IL-1β,GSDMD-N/GSDMD were also increased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the levels of serum SCr,BUN and NGAL in the high-dose salvianolic acid B group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),the infiltration of renal interstitial inflammatory cells and collagen deposition were reduced,and the expression levels of fibrosis proteins α-SMA,vimentin,TGF-β and pyroptosis-related proteins cl-caspase-1/pro-caspase-1,NLRP3,cl-IL-1β/IL-1β,GSDMD-N/GSDMD were decreased(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the above indexes between the high-dose salvianolic acid B group and the VX765 group(P＞0.05).Conclusion Salvianolic acid B may alleviate renal fibrosis in mice by inhibiting pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pathway.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tension-type headache(TTH)in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years globally in 1990-2021,and to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of TTH.Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease Study data,the age-standardized prevalence distribution of TTH and its changing trend were analyzed among the children and adolescents aged 0-19 years,with different sexes,age groups,sociodemographic index(SDI)regions and countries/territories.Results The age-standardized prevalence rate(ASPR)of TTH in children and adolescents aged 0-19 globally in 2021 was 17 339.89/100 000,which was increased by 1.73%since 1990.The ASPR in females was slightly higher than that in males(1990:17 707.65/100 000 vs 16 403.78/100 000;2021:17 946.29/100 000 vs 16 763.09/100 000).The ASPR in adolescence was significantly higher than that in school-aged and preschool periods(1990:27 672.04/100 000 vs 10 134.16/100 000;2021:28 239.04/100 000 vs 10 059.39/100 000).Regions with high SDI exhibited a higher ASPR than the other regions,with significant differences in prevalence rates across different countries.From 1990 to 2021,there was a slight increase in global ASPR,with an average annual percentage change(AAPC)of 0.06%.Females experienced a smaller increase than males based on AAPC(0.04%vs 0.07%).There was reduction in ASPR in preschool and school-aged groups,with an AAPC of-0.02%,while there was a significant increase in ASPR in adolescence,with an AAPC of 0.07%.ASPR decreased in regions with low-middle and low levels of SDI,with an AAPC of-0.02%and-0.04%,respectively,while it increased in regions with middle SDI,with an AAPC of 0.24%.Conclusions There is a consistent increase in the ASPR of TTH in children and adolescents aged 0-19 years globally,with significant differences across sexes,age groups,SDI regions and countries/territories.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of different intervention strategies in response to outbreaks of emerging highly pathogenic respiratory infectious diseases(RIDs)in mega-city in China,and provide decision-ma-king basis for effective response to emerging RIDs.Methods A susceptible-exposed-infectious-recovered(SEIR)transmission dynamics model was constructed,referencing to and combining the pathogenicity and infectivity para-meters of previous emerging RIDs.The outbreak of emerging highly pathogenic RIDs with low,moderate,and high infectivity in a mega-city with a population of 10 million in China was simulated,the development of the epidemic within 100 days after implementing different combinations of non-pharmaceutical interventions(NPIs)in response to the outbreak was compared.Results When highly pathogenic RIDs outbreak occurred,and if its infectivity was low(R0 was about 1.5),it was unnecessary to adopt strict NPIs to control epidemic.If its infectivity was moderate(R0 was about 6),different intensities of NPIs were needed based on its existing infection scale.When the initial num-ber of infected cases was 50,moderate-intensity NPIs could keep the infection and death at a low level within 100 days,and the required bed number in hospital for cases could be kept below the national average reserve level.But when the scale of infection exceeded 100 cases,high-intensity NPIs were needed to control the development of the epidemic.In the case of extremely strong infectivity(R0 was about 10),regardless of the scale of infection,only immediate high-intensity NPIs could control the epidemic,infection and death scale.Conclusion In case of out-breaks of highly pathogenic RIDs,adopting appropriate NPIs as early as possible based on their epidemiological characteristics and infection scale is necessary to minimize the harm to the population.

Objective Given that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway is associated with the progression of knee osteoarthritis(KOA),this study aims to investigate whether the polarization induction of synovial macrophages mediated by the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling axis is the cause of KOA progression.Methods The synovial fluid of KOA KL-Ⅱ and KL-Ⅲ patients and normal individuals was collected,and the percentage of M1 macrophages(CD80,CD86)and M2 macrophages(CD163,CD206)in the synovial fluid(M1/M2 ratio)was measured to e-valuate the polarization of macrophage cytokines such as IL-1,IL-6,IL-10,and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,transforming growth factor(TGF)-β Expression in KOA synovial fluid,and detect and analyze of key molecules PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling axis PI3K,AKT3,mTORC1,and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iONS)in KOA synovial fluid.Results Compared with the synovial fluid of normal individuals,the percentage of M1 macrophages(CD80,CD86)in KOA patients increased(P<0.01),and the M1/M2 ratio increased(P<0.001);The ex-pression of IL-1,IL-6,and TNF-α in the synovial fluid of the KOA group was also higher than that of the control group(P<0.01),while the expression of IL-10 and TGF-β in the KOA group was significantly reduced(P<0.01);The key proteins PI3K,AKT3,mTORC1,and downstream inflammatory factor iONS in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in the synovial fluid of the KOA group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion In KOA synovial fluid,M1 macrophage polarization plays a dominant role,and the inflam-matory response mediated by M1 macrophage polarization may be the cause of synovitis.At the same time,the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway may mediate the polarization of M1 macrophages involved in KOA inflammato-ry response.
