Objective:To study the growth trajectory and the incidence of malnutrition and clinical events in infants with congenital heart disease in 1 year after surgery.Methods:Children at the age of 1 year or younger who were diagnosed with congenital heart disease and underwent surgery at Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center affiliated to Guangzhou Medical University from January 2018 to January 2019 were included. The age, gender, birth weight and length, and parental height and weight were collected, and the occurrence of clinical events of interest and the children's health as evaluated by caregiver within 1 year after surgery were followed up through questionnaire survey. Malnutrition was defined as a weight-for-age z-score (WAZ) ≤-2 at 1 year after surgery and a WAZ>-2 was defined as non-malnourished.Results:Among the 502 children, 301 were boys and 201 were girls, aged 4.1 (range: 2.0 to 6.8) months, of whom 64.7% were with simple congenital heart disease and 35.3% complex congenital heart disease. The children were generally with mild malnutrition (WAZ<-1 and >-2) before surgery. At 3 months and 6 months after surgery, the children showed a rapid growth catch-up, although failing to reach the normal level, and the trend plateaued at 1 year after surgery. The proportion of children with malnutrition decreased gradually within 1 year after surgery. 47.0% of included children had malnutrition before surgery, and the proportion decreased significantly at 3 months and 6 months, to 17.9% at 1 year after surgery. After discharge, these children suffered from upper respiratory infection most commonly (74.5%), followed by pneumonia (41.2%) and diarrhea (36.7%), and vomiting and constipation (22.1%). In terms of children's health status as evaluated by parents, about 32.0% of families considered their children in poor health before surgery, and the proportion decreased to 6.9% within 1 year after surgery.Conclusion:Infants with congenital heart disease continued to grow and catch up within 1 year after surgery, showing significantly improved nutrition status, but some children still experienced malnutrition at 1 year after surgery.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of monkeypox patients.Methods:The clinical data and laboratory findings of 4 patients with monkeypox patients diagnosed at Yiwu Central Hospital in July 2023 were analyzed. Herpes fluid and skin tissue samples were collected, the viruses were isolation and cultured in African green monkey kidney cells (Vero) and identified with whole gene sequencing.Results:All four patients were male, aged 24-35 years. All patients had male-to-male behavior within 21 days before onset of the disease. Among them, one patient has AIDS and one patient has syphilis. Four patients presented with perineal skin lesions with itching, and 3 patients were found to have enlarged lymph nodes upon admission. Laboratory testing: lymphocyte abnormality (4.57×10 9/L) in 1 case; increased procalcitonin (0.25 ng/mL) in 1 case; elevated IL-10 levels ( 7.11 ng/L and 9.42 ng/L) in 2 cases; increased IL-6 (66 ng/L) and IL-4 (3.24 ng/L) in 1 case, respectively. One case had abnormal myocardial zymogram with a elevated lactate dehydrogenase level of 313 U/L. The monkeypox virus was isolated from lesion tissue and herpes fluid, and the whole gene sequencing identified it as the B. 1.3 subtype of the IIb evolutionary branch, exhibiting typical pathological effects on Vero cells. Conclusion:The clinical manifestations of the 4 monkeypox patients confirmed in Zhejiang province are mild, patients had a definitive history of male-to-male sexual behavior and the virus strains belong to the B. 1.3 lineage of the IIb evolutionary branch.

Objective:To systematically describe and analyze the related factors of self-compassion in cancer patients.Methods:Observational studies on factors related to self-compassion in cancer patients were retrieved through computer on PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, China Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and WanFang Data. The search period was from the establishment of the database to July 2022. Two researchers independently screened the article, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the article based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of related factors was conducted using Stata 15.1 software.Results:A total of 20 articles were included. Meta-analysis results showed that self-compassion was positively correlated with age, education level, and psychological resilience, while negatively correlated with body image, anxiety, depression, and pressure. The related factors for self-compassion in cancer patients included individual factors (such as gender, age, educational level, anxiety, depression, attachment type, body image and psychological resilience) , disease factors (treatment methods) , and environmental factors (marital status, social support, place of birth) .Conclusions:There are many factors related to self-compassion in cancer patients. Medical and nursing staff can identify low-level self-compassion patients in the early stage based on related factors and carry out intervention to promote positive clinical outcomes for patients.

Objective:To find new biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis through analyzing the differential expression protein in sepsis by proteomics and bioinformatics analysis and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Methods:Patients with sepsis admitted to the emergency department of the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January to December 2019 were enrolled. And meanwhile, healthy volunteers who had normal physical examinations were included as the control group. Blood samples from two groups were collected. The samples were randomly selected for the protein concentration by data independent acquisition (DIA). Bioinformatics method was used in differentially expressed proteins by gene ontology (GO) pathway, enrichment analyses, groups meta-analysis and survival curves construction. ELISA method was used to verified marker screened. Then the data of transferrin receptor CD71 and the clinical data of procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood lactic acid (Lac) were collected to construct receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), and biomarker was screened for diagnostic and prognostic of sepsis.Results:The result of DIA showed that 71 differentially expressed proteins were screened out from sepsis group, 6 proteins were down-regulated and 65 proteins were up-regulated. Those differentially expressed proteins were enriched in the inflammatory response, response to stress, leukocyte migration in the GO pathway and enrichment analyses. The meta-analysis showed that the expression level of CD71 was higher in sepsis group than normal control group [standardized mean difference ( SMD) = -0.47, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was -0.93 to 0.00, P < 0.01], the expression level of CD71 was higher in non-survivor group than survivor group ( SMD = -0.44, 95% CI was -0.70 to -0.18, P = 0.63). Survival curve showed that the expression of CD71 was inversely correlated to survival rates, the patients with a lower expression had higher survival rates ( P = 0.000 34); the ELISA showed that the level of CD71 was higher in sepsis group than normal control group (nmol/L: 156.83±84.71 vs. 87.99±47.89, P < 0.05), the level of CD71 was higher in non-survivor group than survivor group (nmol/L: 219.63±125.59 vs. 130.97±40.45, P < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CD71 in diagnostic performance of sepsis was 0.790 (sensitivity was 65.1%, specificity was 90.0%), the AUC of CD71 in prognostic performance of sepsis was 0.744 (sensitivity was 57.1%, specificity was 94.1%); CD71 had a better prognostic performance than PCT (AUC = 0.547, sensitivity was 64.3%, specificity was 55.9%), CRP (AUC = 0.594, sensitivity was 64.3%, specificity was 61.8%), Lac (AUC = 0.540, sensitivity was 42.9%, specificity was 82.4%). Conclusion:CD71 had a great value of diagnostic and prognostic performance in sepsis, and it was expected to be a potential biomarker for sepsis.
