Shared Decision-Making (SDM) is a crucial concept in modern medicine, emphasizing the joint participation of doctors and patients in the medical decision-making process. However, the authoritative position of doctors and the passive role of patients in traditional medical models often overlook the personal wishes and needs of patients, leading to tense doctor-patient relationships and medical disputes. By listening to and understanding their stories, narrative medicine helps doctors gain a more comprehensive understanding of patients’ situations and balances medical advice with patient needs in the decision-making process. Through systematic literature analysis and theoretical exploration, this paper investigated the application effects and mechanisms of narrative medicine in different medical contexts, as well as analyzed its specific role in the process of SDM. The aim is to explore the value of narrative medicine in bridging differences in SDM, revealing its role in promoting doctor-patient communication, enhancing decision-making participation, and improving medical outcomes. Researches had found that narrative medicine enhanced doctors’ “narrative ability”, promoted emotional communication and trust between doctors and patients, reduced conflicts and misunderstandings in decision-making, and improved patients’ sense of participation and trust, thus playing an important role in SDM. Therefore, by enhancing doctor-patient communication and understanding, promoting SDM and treatment selection between doctors and patients, personalized care and treatment optimization, advocating for doctor-patient co-construction, improving consultation efficiency, restoring the patient’s subject position, and other methods, it can bridge doctor-patient differences, promote communication and enhance decision-making participation, and improve medical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.

Objective To investigate the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationship of Sparganum isolates from snakes in Hunan Province. Methods The partial mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 4 (pnad4) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5 (pnad5) genes were amplified using a PCR assay in 7 Sparganum isolates from snakes in Hunan Province and the amplification product was sequenced. The homology and genetic evolution were investigated using the software DNAMAN 7.0, MegAlign, DnaSP 5.0 and MEGA 5.0. Results The pnad4 and pnad5 gene sequences were approximately 578 bp and 484 bp in length in the 7 Sparganum isolates from Hunan Province, and the percentages of genetic variations were 0 to 2.8% and 0 to 0.8%, respectively. There were 4 haplotypes detected in both the pnad4 and pnad5 genes, with global haplotype diversities of 0.810 ± 0.016 and 0.905 ± 0.011, nucleotide diversities of 0.006 ± 0.005 and 0.004 ± 0.003, and mean nucleotide variations of 3.960 and 1.905, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all 7 Sparganum isolates from snakes in Hunan Province were clustered into the same branch with Spirometra erinaceieuropaei isolates from different regions/hosts in the world, which belonged to S. erinaceieuropaei, which were close to Diphyllobothrium latum and far from other tapeworms. Conclusion There is a low genetic variation in snake-derived S. erinaceieuropaei isolates from Hunan Province, and both pnad4 and pnad5 genes may be potential molecular genetic markers for identification of S. erinaceieuropaei.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia and to investigate the correlation between serum inflammatory biomarkers and severity of the disease. Methods:Sixteen patients with Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia admitted to the Huizhou Municipal Central Hospital from January 2020 to July 2021 were selected as the study subjects, including 10 severe cases and 6 mild cases. Clinical data were collected and analyzed, such as baseline characteristics, clinical symptoms, laboratory inspection and chest imaging manifestations. Results:① Thirteen Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia were associated with a definite bird or poultry contact history. Common symptoms included high fever, chill, cough, fatigue, and anorexia (16 cases), dyspnoea (12 cases), and other systemic symptoms. ② Laboratory test results showed normal white blood cell count (WBC, 10 cases), decreased lymphocyte count (LYM, 13 cases), increased high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP, 16 cases), D-dimer (15 cases), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH, 13 cases), aspartate aminotransferase (AST, 16 cases) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT, 12 cases) levels, however, the albumin (Alb, 15 cases) lever was decreased. The numbers of CD3 + T cells and CD4 + T cells decreased in 10 patients. ③ The levels of D-dimer, interleukins (IL-2, IL-6, IL-10) in severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia were significantly higher than those in mild Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia [D-dimer (μg/L): 10 257±4 203 vs. 1 085±642, IL-2 (ng/L): 1.1 (0.8, 1.7) vs. 0.3 (0.1, 0.7), IL-6 (ng/L): 315 (182, 505) vs. 75 (18, 131), IL-10 (ng/L): 7.0±4.1 vs. 2.3±0.7], but the LYM was lower (×10 9/L: 0.4±0.1 vs. 1.1±0.4), with significant differences (all P < 0.05). ④ Chest imaging manifestations were exudative lesions and large consolidation of lungs. Large consolidation of both lungs can occur in some critically ill patients. Conclusions:Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia is mainly associated with a bird or poultry contact history. The clinical manifestations usually present high fever, dyspnea, normal or slightly increased leucocytes, and lung consolidation. The levels of LYM, D-dimer, IL-2, IL-6 and IL-10 in serum are expected to predict the severity of the Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia.

Objective:To assess the impact of vaccination at school and influenza vaccination rates among school-age children on school absenteeism in Shenzhen.Methods:The study subjects were primary school students in Shenzhen. School absenteeism panel database from December 2017 to June 2020 of 286 primary schools in Shenzhen was merged with vaccination rates and organizational patterns ( i.e., vaccination at school vs. non-school) data of 9 districts in Shenzhen after influenza vaccination for children. The outcome was the number of school absenteeism. The treatment and control groups were distinguished by organizational patterns and district vaccination rates. Difference-in-Difference (DiD) Poisson regressions were used to analyze the effectiveness of vaccination at school and higher vaccination rates. Besides, a robustness test was performed on the regression results. Results:Poisson regression analysis and robustness test of regression results showed that vaccination at school and higher vaccination rates effectively reduced the risk of school absenteeism, with effectiveness against absenteeism of 32.6% (95% CI: 17.0%-45.3%, P<0.01) and 53.0% (95% CI: 42.1%-61.8%, P<0.01), respectively. Conclusion:A free influenza vaccination program for school-age children in Shenzhen and prioritizing school-based vaccination may be an effective measure to reduce the risk of school absenteeism.

Since December 2019, a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) outbreak has occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, and the epidemic situation has continued to spread. Such cases have also been found in other parts of the country. The spread of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic has brought great challenges to the clinical practice of thoracic surgery. Outpatient clinics need to strengthen the differential diagnosis of ground glass opacity and pulmonary plaque shadows. During the epidemic, surgical indications are strictly controlled, and selective surgery is postponed. Patients planning to undergo a limited period of surgery should be quarantined for 2 weeks and have a nucleic acid test when necessary before surgery. For patients who are planning to undergo emergency surgery, nucleic acid testing should be carried out before surgery, and three-level protection should be performed during surgery. Patients who are planning to undergo emergency surgery in the epidemic area should be confirmed with or without novel coronavirus pneumonia before operation, and perform nucleic acid test if necessary. Surgical disinfection and isolation measures should be strictly carried out. Among postoperative patients, cases with new coronavirus infection were actively investigated. For the rescue of patients with novel coronavirus infection, attention needs to be paid to prevention and treatment and related complications, including mechanical ventilation-related pneumothorax or mediastinal emphysema, and injury after tracheal intubation.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical features and outcome of neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in southwest Hubei, China.
METHODS:
According to the Montreux definition of neonatal ARDS, a retrospective clinical epidemiological investigation was performed on the medical data of neonates with ARDS who were admitted to Department of Neonatology/Pediatrics in 17 level 2 or level 3 hospitals in southwest Hubei from January to December, 2017.
RESULTS:
A total of 7 150 neonates were admitted to the 17 hospitals in southwest Hubei during 2017 and 66 (0.92%) were diagnosed with ARDS. Among the 66 neonates with ARDS, 23 (35%) had mild ARDS, 28 (42%) had moderate ARDS, and 15 (23%) had severe ARDS. The main primary diseases for neonatal ARDS were perinatal asphyxia in 23 neonates (35%), pneumonia in 18 neonates (27%), sepsis in 12 neonates (18%), and meconium aspiration syndrome in 10 neonates (15%). Among the 66 neonates with ARDS, 10 neonates (15%) were born to the mothers with an age of ≥35 years, 30 neonates (45%) suffered from intrauterine distress, 32 neonates (49%) had a 1-minute Apgar score of 0 to 7 points, 24 neonates (36%) had abnormal fetal heart monitoring results, and 21 neonates (32%) experienced meconium staining of amniotic fluid. Intraventricular hemorrhage was the most common comorbidity (12 neonates), followed by neonatal shock (9 neonates) and patent ductus arteriosus (8 neonates). All 66 neonates with ARDS were treated with mechanical ventilation in addition to the treatment for primary diseases. Among the 66 neonates with ARDS, 10 died, with a mortality rate of 15% (10/66), and 56 neonates were improved or cured, with a survival rate of 85% (56/66).
CONCLUSIONS
Neonatal ARDS in southwest Hubei is mostly mild or moderate. Perinatal asphyxia and infection may be the main causes of neonatal ARDS in this area. Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common comorbidity. Neonates with ARDS tend to have a high survival rate after multimodality treatment.
