Objective:To evaluate the effect of venous excess ultrasound score (VExUS Score) in the acute kidney injury(AKI) in Patients with sepsis, so as to reduce the risk of disease and improve the prognosis of patients.Methods:This experiment was a single-center prospective cohort study. Include septic patients with AKI who were admitted to the Department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from February 2022 to February 2023, Those with inadequate window, inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus, age<18 years and known case of cirrhosis with portal hypertension were excluded from the study. Patients underwent ultrasound examination with serial determination till AKI resolved or patient is initiated on dialysis.Results:Totally 86 patients were enrolled for the study. The mean age was (60.43±15.48) with 50 (58.1%) males. Mean sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score was (6.23±1.87). 38 patients (44.2%) were in AKI stage 1, while 24 patients (27.9%) were in AKI stage 2 and stage 3 each. 52 patients (60.5%) had VExUS grade Ⅲ. Resolution of AKI injury showed significant correlation with improvement in VExUS grade ( p value 0.003). Similarly, there was significant association between changes in VExUS grade and fluid balance ( p value 0.005). There was no correlation between central venous pressure (CVP), left ventricular function, and right ventricular function with change in VExUS grade. Conclusions:The study shows a significant correlation between the VExUS Score and AKI staging, With improvement in kidney function, there is decline in the VExUS grade as well. Moreover VExUS Score might reliably demonstrate venous congestion and aid in the clinical decision to perform fluid removal.

Neuropathic pain(NPP)is a recurrent and intractable pain syndrome,and microglial polarization is closely related to it.Recent studies have shown that after cell polarization,M1 pro-inflammatory and M2 anti-inflammatory types could be formed,and M1 and M2 microglial cells are involved in NPP through the modulation of inflammatory responses.The two types of microglial cells have different roles in NPP,just like a double-edged sword.M1 pro-inflammatory type plays an injurious role in NPP through the release of pro-inflammatory factors and noxious substances,whereas M2 anti-inflammatory type plays a protective role by secreting anti-inflammatory factors.In this article,the role of microglia polarization on NPP are reviewed.

Objective To identify the factors associated with frailty in lung transplant patients by a meta-analysis.Methods Computerized search was performed for studies on the influencing factors of frailty in lung transplant patients in the CNKI,WanFangData,VIP,CBM,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Elsevier ScienceDirect and CINAHL databases.The search was conducted from the time of database construction to November 2023.Literature screening,quality assessment,and data extraction were performed independently by 2 investigators,and Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results 10 cohort studies,including 1 999 patients,were finally included,and 13 influencing factors were extracted,including advanced age(OR=1.05),female(OR=2.50),BMI(OR=0.38),diagnosis of primary pulmonary disease(OR=2.90),6MWD(OR=0.34),and lung allocation score(OR=0.69),FVC(OR=0.60),pre-transplant frailty(OR=0.81),hypoproteinemia(OR=4.12),hemoglobin(OR=0.50),anemia(OR=4.37),length of ICU stay(OR=1.24),and total length of stay(OR=1.05).Short Physical Performance Battery is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with an incidence of frailty in 24％before transplantation and 50％in post-transplantation.Fried Frailty Phenotype is an assessment tool for frailty in lung transplant patients,with a pre-transplant frailty incidence of 30％.Conclusion There are many factors involved in the incidence of frailty in lung transplant patients,and nursing staff should dynamically evaluate the frailty of lung transplant patients,and give individualized and precise interventions in combination with a multidisciplinary model to improve or delay the progression of frailty.

Objective To evaluate the effect of remote interventions with digital health technologies in lung transplant patients.Methods Databases,including CKNI,Wangfang,VIP,CMB,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,Scopus and BMJ Best Practice were searched from their inception to July 2023.There were 2 researchers who independently screened and extracted the literature,and then evaluated quality of the included studies.Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2.Results 10 studies with 1 262 patients were included.The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional intervention,remote intervention based on digital health technology could improve self-monitoring compliance of lung transplant patients[0R=0.64,95％CI(0.46,0.88),P=0.006],improve quality of life including mental health status[OR=3.08,95％CI(0.41,5.74),P=0.020]and physical health status[OR=3.81,95％CI(1.19,6.43),P=0.004].In terms of the intervention forms,the application-based remote intervention had better self-monitoring compliance,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.007).However,in terms of the comparison of readmission rate[OR=1.73,95％CI(0.98,3.04),P=0.060],anxiety[OR=-0.12,95％CI(-1.36,1.11),P=0.850],and depression[OR=0.62,95％CI(-0.80,2.03),P=0.390],the effect of intervention was unclear.Conclusion Remote intervention based on digital health technology can improve self-monitoring compliance and quality of life in lung transplant patients;applications are the optimal form of intervention.Limited by the quality and quantity of included studies and the heterogeneity of study results,more high-quality studies are needed to further verify the effects of digital health technology on readmission rates,anxiety and depression of lung transplant patients.

To summarize the continued nursing management of a patient with combined liver-lung transplantation.Nursing points:regular review and joint remote guidance;dynamic optimization of the rehabilitation program;strict control of blood concentration of Tacrolimus;the strengthening of infection prevention and control;standardized management of post-transplant diabetes mellitus;active interventions in osteoporosis;helping patients to self-empower and achieve all-round rehabilitation.In 2 years and 8 months after surgery,the follow-up showed that the patient had normal transplant organ function and good quality of life.

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of post-transplant diabetes mellitus(PTDM)in adult lung transplant recipients.Methods Conducting a convenience sampling method,we retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of lung transplant recipients from January 2020 to December 2022 at a tertiary A hospital in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.According to the PTDM diagnostic criteria,lung transplant recipients are divided into a PTDM group and a non-PTDM group.The incidence rate of PTDM is calculated,and the influencing factors for PTDM occurrence are analyzed using both univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods.Results A total of 140 patients were included in this study,and 54 lung transplant recipients developed PTDM within 6 months,with an incidence of 38.57％.Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in age,gender,BMI,smoking history,pre-operative glycated albumin,pre-operative fasting blood glucose,early post-operative blood glucose and pre-operative creatinine between the 2 groups(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that gender(OR=5.283),BMI(OR=6.122),pre-operative glycated albumin(OR=1.330),and early post-operative blood glucose(0R=1.444)were the influencing factors.Conclusion Lung transplant recipients who were male,BMI ≥24.0,with high levels of glycated albumin before surgery,and high blood sugar early after surgery had a higher risk of developing PTDM.Clinical nurses can formulate relevant nursing measures according to the influencing factors to prevent the occurrence of PTDM.

The nursing experience of a patient with right-to-left inverted lung transplantation was summarized.The key points of nursing care:closely monitoring frequent arrhythmiac;developing excessive pulmonary rehabilitation strategies based on heart rate;being alert to carbon dioxide retention caused by pulmonary insufficiency;performing non-invasive ventilation combined with nitric oxide inhalation for pulmonary hypertension care;early identification and management of gastrointestinal dysfunction;and strengthening the prevention and management of complications.After fine care,the patient recovered well,and the transplanted lung function was normal,and he was discharged smoothly.

Objective To observe the difference in the expression of micro-ribonucleic acid(miRNA)in the colon tissue of irritable bowel syndrome-diarrhea(IBS-D)rats and rats treated with Jianpi Mixture,and predict The miRNA and corresponding genes involved in the treatment of IBS-D with Jianpi Mixture,providing a basis for finding potential therapeutic targets for IBS-D.Methods The rats were randomly divided into a blank group,a model group and a traditional Chinese medicine group,with 8 rats in each group.Both the model group and the Chinese medicine group used acute and chronic stimulation + senna leaf gavage to make the IBS-D model.The Chinese medicine group was gavaged with Jianpi Mixture after model building for 14 days.General condition,body weight and Bristol score were observed and recorded.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of colon in each group of rats.Transcriptome sequencing of rat colon tissue in each group to screen and map differentially expressed miRNAs.Perform GO(Gene oncology)functional enrichment analysis and KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes)pathway enrichment analysis on the target genes corresponding to the screened common miRNAs.Results Compared with the model group,the weight of the rats in the Chinese medicine group increased significantly(P<0.01),and the Bristol score of the feces decreased significantly(P<0.01).The pathological damage of the colon tissue of rats in the Chinese medicine group was significantly reduced.Compared with the blank group,there were 109 differentially expressed genes in the model group,of which 80 were up-regulated and 29 were down-regulated.Compared with the model group,there were 109 differentially expressed genes in the traditional Chinese medicine group,of which 19 were up-regulated and 90 were down-regulated.Mapping the genes of the two comparisons found that 74 miRNAs in the model group were increased and 7 were decreased.The changes of these miRNAs were all reversed after the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine.The GO function enrichment analysis of target genes showed that Jianpi Mixture was mainly involved in synaptic vesicle positioning and transport,cytoplasmic transport,negative regulation of growth and development,and sugar transport after acting on rats.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that MAPK,Wnt,Hippo,TNF,oxygen toxin,cAMP and other pathways were enriched.Conclusion After the intervention of Jianpi Mixture,IBS-D-related miRNA expression profiles have changed significantly;Jianpi Mixture may play a protective role in the treatment of IBS-D by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway.Screening the core genes and predicting the miRNAs interacting with them provide a theoretical basis for the study of the pathogenesis of IBS-D and the therapeutic targets of Jianpi Mixture.

Multiple plant lineages have independently evolved sex chromosomes and variable kary-otypes to maintain their sessile lifestyles through constant biological innovation.Morus notabilis,a dioecious mulberry species,has the fewest chromosomes among Morus spp.,but the genetic basis of sex determination and karyotype evolution in this species has not been identified.In this study,three high-quality genome assemblies were generated for Morus spp.[including dioecious M.notabilis(male and female)and Morus yunnanensis(female)]with genome sizes of 301-329 Mb and were grouped into six pseudochromosomes.Using a combination of genomic approaches,we found that the putative ancestral karyotype of Morus species was close to 14 protochromosomes,and that sev-eral chromosome fusion events resulted in descending dysploidy(2n=2x=12).We also charac-terized a～6.2-Mb sex-determining region on chromosome 3.Four potential male-specific genes,a partially duplicated DNA helicase gene(named MSDH)and three Ty3_Gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposons(named MSTG1/2/3),were identified in the Y-linked area and considered to be strong candidate genes for sex determination or differentiation.Population genomic analysis showed that Guangdong accessions in China were genetically similar to Japanese accessions of mul-berry.In addition,genomic areas containing selective sweeps that distinguish domesticated mul-berry from wild populations in terms of flowering and disease resistance were identified.Our study provides an important genetic resource for sex identification research and molecular breeding in mulberry.
