Objective:To analyze the effect of analysis plan, do, check, and action (PDCA) cycle in improving the completion rate of sepsis bundle treatment in sepsis patients and the knowledge-attitude-practice of sepsis bundle treatment in medical staff.Methods:Using the historical control method, sepsis patients admitted to the Emergency Trauma Intensive Care Unit of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were selected as the research objects by convenience sampling. The 35 patients admitted from January to December 2021 will be included in the control group; from June 2022 to June 2023, 28 patients were admitted to the observation group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received intervention based on the PDCA cycle. The completion rate of sepsis bundle treatment before and after PDCA cycle implementation was compared. The 27 nurses and 5 doctors working in trauma care unit were investigated by using a self-designed questionnaire on their knowledge and practice level of sepsis bundle treatment. The completion rate of sepsis bundle treatment before and after the implementation of PDCA cycle was compared.Results:The control group included 19 males and 16 females, aged (61.77 ± 8.64) years. The observation group included 13 males and 15 females, aged (60.61 ± 10.20) years. After the implementation of PDCA cycle, the completion rate of 3h bundle treatment for sepsis in the observation group was 89.29% (25/28), which was higher than 31.42% (10/35) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=23.22, P<0.05). The completion rate of sepsis bundle treatment within 6 hours in the observation group was 11/11, which was higher than 5/9 in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=6.11, P<0.05). Moreover, after the implementation of PDCA cycle, the total score and sub-scale scores of the knowledge-attitude-practice among medical staffs increased from 86.60 ± 10.33, 21.00 ± 4.74, 18.00 ± 1.58, and 47.60 ± 4.10 to 100.00 ± 5.20, 27.60 ± 2.51, 19.60 ± 0.55, and 52.80 ± 2.28 respectively, with statistically significant differences ( t values were -5.10 - -3.14, all P<0.05). Conclusions:PDCA cycle can improve the completion rate of sepsis bundle treatment and improve the level of knowledge, attitude and practice of medical staff.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of basic activity of daily living and nutritional status the effects on comorbidity and frailty, so as to provide guidance for preventing and delaying the frailty of elderly patients with cardiovascular disease and abnormal glucose metabolism.Methods:The cross-sectional study method was adopted, 300 elderly patients with cardiovascular disease and abnormal glucose metabolism who were hospitalized in the cardiovascular medicine ward of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, were selected as the study objects from January to August 2022, and were surveyed using General Information Questionnaire, Frailty Scale, Charlson Comorbidity Index Scale, Barthel Index Rating Scale and Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form were used to investigate them.Results:A total of 300 questionnaires were collected and 291 valid questionnaires were returned. Out of 291 patients, 167 were male and 124 were female, with an age of (69.55 ± 7.01) years. Comorbidities in elderly patients with cardiovascular disease and abnormal glucose metabolism were positively correlated with frailty ( r=0.414, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with basic activity of daily living and nutritional status ( r=-0.399, -0.373, both P<0.01). Basic activity of daily living was positively correlated with nutritional status ( r=0.575, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with frailty ( r=-0.825, P<0.01). Nutritional status was negatively correlated with frailty ( r=-0.695, P<0.01). The chain mediating model showed that comorbidities had a significant direct effect on frailty (effect value of 0.102), basic activity of daily living partially mediated between comorbidity and frailty (effect value of 0.125). Basic activity of daily living and nutritional status partially chained between comorbidity and frailty (effect value of 0.036). Conclusions:The chain mediating roles of basic activity of daily living and nutritional status between comorbidity and frailty was established. Healthcare professionals should pay attention to the improvement of basic activity of daily living in elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases and abnormal glucose metabolism, guide them to have a reasonable diet to achieve balanced nutrition, and delay the onset and development of frailties.

Background::Oral anti-coagulants (OAC) are the intervention for the prevention of stroke, which consistently improve clinical outcomes and survival among patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The main purpose of this study is to identify problems in OAC utilization among hospitalized patients with AF in China.Methods::Using data from the Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease in China-Atrial Fibrillation (CCC-AF) registry, guideline-recommended OAC use in eligible patients was assessed.Results::A total of 52,530 patients with non-valvular AF were enrolled from February 2015 to December 2019, of whom 38,203 were at a high risk of stroke, 9717 were at a moderate risk, and 4610 were at a low risk. On admission, only 20.0% (6075/30,420) of patients with a diagnosed AF and a high risk of stroke were taking OAC. The use of pre-hospital OAC on admission was associated with a lower risk of new-onset ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack among the diagnosed AF population (adjusted odds ratio: 0.54, 95% confidence interval: 0.43–0.68; P <0.001). At discharge, the prescription rate of OAC was 45.2% (16,757/37,087) in eligible patients with high stroke risk and 60.7% (2778/4578) in eligible patients with low stroke risk. OAC utilization in patients with high stroke risk on admission or at discharge both increased largely over time (all P <0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that OAC utilization at discharge was positively associated with in-hospital rhythm control strategies, including catheter ablation (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 11.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 10.04–13.47; P <0.001), electronic cardioversion (adjusted OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.65–3.51; P <0.001), and anti-arrhythmic drug use (adjusted OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.38–1.53; P <0.001). Conclusions::In hospitals participated in the CCC-AF project, >70% of AF patients were at a high risk of stroke. Although poor performance on guideline-recommended OAC use was found in this study, over time the CCC-AF project has made progress in stroke prevention in the Chinese AF population.Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02309398.

Objective: To exploring the clinical features of SF3B1-mutated myelodysplastic syndrome with excess blasts (MDS-EB) and analyzing the association between SF3B1 mutation, and efficacy and prognostic significance for patients with MDS-EB. Methods: This was a retrospective case series study. The clinical data of 266 patients with MDS-EB diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between April 2016 and November 2021 were analyzed. The observed indicators included blood routine counts, mutated genes, overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and leukemia-free survival (LFS). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to depict the survival curves. The Log-rank test method was equally used to compare survival across groups and performed the Cox proportional hazard regression model for prognostic analysis. Results: In 266 patients with MDS-EB, 166 (62.4%) were men, and the median age was 57 (17-81) years. Moreover, there were included 26 and 240 patients in the SF3B1-mutated and SF3B1 wild-type groups. Patients in the SF3B1-mutated group were older [median age 65 (51, 69) years vs. 56 (46, 66) years, P=0.033], had higher white blood cell (WBC) counts [3.08 (2.35, 4.78) × 10⁹/L vs. 2.13 (1.40, 3.77) × 10⁹/L], platelet (PLT) counts [122.5 (50.5, 215.0) ×10⁹/L vs. 49.0 (24.3, 100.8) × 10⁹/L], absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) [1.83 (1.01, 2.88) × 10⁹/L vs. 0.80 (0.41, 1.99) × 10⁹/L]and occurrence of DNMT3A mutation [23.1% (6/26) vs. 6.7% (16/240)] (all P<0.05). The ORR were similar in both groups after 2 and 4 cycles of therapy (P=0.348, P=1.000). Moreover, the LFS (P=0.218), PFS (P=0.179) and OS (P=0.188) were similar across the groups. Univariate Cox analysis revealed that SF3B1 mutation did not affect the prognosis of patients with MDS-EB (OS: P=0.193; PFS: P=0.184). Conclusions: Patients with SF3B1 mutation were older, with greater WBC, PLT, and ANC, and SF3B1 mutation easily co-occurred with DNMT3A mutation. From this model, there were no significant differences in efficacy and survival of MDS-EB with or without SF3B1 mutation.

Objective:To explore the path relationship among medical narrative competence and profession quality of life on professional identity of nurses, so as to provide reference for improving nurses ′professional identity. Methods:This study was across-sectional survey. From October 2022 to February 2023, totally 619 nurses in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were investigated using Self-designed Demographic Questionnaire, Medical Narrative Competence Scale, Professional Quality of Life Scale and Professional Identity Scale.Results:The score of nurses ′s medical narrative competence was (144.13 ± 22.09) points, compassion satisfaction was (34.82 ± 6.96) points, job burnout was (24.03 ± 5.48) points, secondary traumatic stress was (23.91 ± 5.89) points, and the scores of nurses ′ professional identity was (112.68 ± 19.05) points. Nurses ′ medical narrative competence was positively correlated with compassion satisfaction and professional identity ( r=0.585, 0.697, both P<0.01); nurses ′ medical narrative competence was negatively correlated with job burnout and secondary traumatic stress ( r=-0.516, -0.214, both P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that nurses ′ medical narrative ability, compassion satisfaction and job burnout were the influencing factors of nurses ′professional identity ( t=13.26, 10.52, -2.32, all P<0.05). Structural equation model indicated that medical narrative ability of nurses had an intermediary effect on professional identity through the dimension of compassion satisfaction, and the intermediary effect was 0.269, and the intermediary effect accounted for 36.88% of the total effect. Conclusions:Medical narrative ability of nurses can have positive emotional experience on nurses ′ psychology, and thus have an impact on professional identity. Nursing managers should pay attention to the level of nurses ′ medical satisfaction, and give full play to the intermediary effect of compassion satisfaction in nurses ′ medical narrative ability and professional identity.

To scientifically evaluate the intervention effect of Chinese medicine preventive administration(combined use of Huo-xiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid and Jinhao Jiere Granules) on community population in the case of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19), a large cohort, prospective, randomized, and parallel-controlled clinical study was conducted. Total 22 065 subjects were included and randomly divided into 2 groups. The non-intervention group was given health guidance only, while the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) intervention group was given two coordinated TCM in addition to health guidance. The medical instructions were as follows. Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid: oral before meals, 10 mL/time, 2 times/day, a course of 5 days. Jinhao Jiere Granules: dissolve in boiling water and take after meals, 8 g/time, 2 times/day, a course of 5 days, followed up for 14 days, respectively. The study found that with the intake of medication, the incidence rate of TCM intervention group was basically maintained at a low and continuous stable level(0.01%-0.02%), while the non-intervention group showed an overall trend of continuous growth(0.02%-0.18%) from 3 to 14 days. No suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case occurred in either group. There were 2 cases of colds in the TCM intervention group and 26 cases in the non-intervention group. The incidence of colds in the TCM intervention group was significantly lower(P<0.05) than that in the non-intervention group. In the population of 16-60 years old, the incidence rate of non-intervention and intervention groups were 0.01% and 0.25%, respectively. The difference of colds incidence between the two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). In the population older than 60 years old, they were 0.04% and 0.21%, respectively. The incidence of colds in the non-intervention group was higher than that in the intervention group, but not reaching statistical difference. The protection rate of TCM for the whole population was 91.8%, especially for the population of age 16-60(95.0%). It was suggested that TCM intervention(combined use of Huoxiang Zhengqi Oral Liquid and Jinhao Jiere Granules) could effectively protect community residents against respiratory diseases, such as colds, which was worthy of promotion in the community. In addition, in terms of safety, the incidence of adverse events and adverse reactions in the TCM intervention group was relatively low, which was basically consistent with the drug instructions.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of intracytoplasmic morphologically selected sperm injection (IMSI) versus intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in in vitro fertilization (IVF) for couples with male factor infertility.

METHODSUsing the Cochrane system evaluation method, we searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and SinoMed and manually searched the reference lists of the included studies and relevant reviews for randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing ICSI and IMSI published from 1992 to July 2017. We performed a meta-analysis on the included literature with the RevMan 5.3 software and subgroup analyses due to the prominent clinical heterogeneity of the patients.

RESULTSOf the 280 articles retrieved, 8 RCTs were included, involving 1 741 IVF cycles (842 cycles of IMSI versus 899 cycles of ICSI). There was no evidence for any significant difference between IMSI and ICSI in the live birth rate in the subgroup of infertility induced by pure male factors (RR = 1.31, 95% CI: 0.68－2.51; very low quality evidence from 1 RCT with 77 cycles) but an association of IMSI with an increased clinical pregnancy rate (RR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.02－2.07; low quality evidence from 4 RCTs with 813 cycles), nor was there any evidence for that in the live birth rate (RR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.60－1.31; low quality evidence from 1 RCT with 255 cycles) or clinical pregnancy rate (RR = 1.03, 95% CI: 0.86－1.23; moderate quality evidence from 3 RCTs with 851 cycles) in the subgroup of infertility caused by accompanying male factors.

CONCLUSIONSThe evidence is of low quality for the association of IMSI with an increased rate of clinical pregnancy and is not sufficient to support the routine use of IMSI in IVF for male factor infertility.
