Informed consent is an important ethical symbol in clinical research,and researchers have the responsibility to fully inform participants of the research information before conducting clinical research.However,it is difficult to obtain complete informed consent form participants or their guardians within a narrow treatment time period in clinical research conducted in emergency situations.Currently,in addition to traditional general informed consent,there are also reality-accepted informed consent,including exemption of informed consent,broad informed consent,and deferred informed consent.By introducing the origin and development process of deferred informed consent in clinical research,this paper sorted out the current application status of deferred informed consent,proposed the prerequisites for applying deferred informed consent in emergency situations,and explored the issues that need to be noted during the application process of deferred informed consent.It is hoped to provide an ethical defense and ethical procedure for the application of deferred informed consent in clinical research in emergency situations.

Objective: To explore the impact of five-flavor Sophora flavescens enteric-coated capsules (FSEC) on the intestinal flora of rats with ulcerative colitis (UC), so as to provide the reference for the mechanism of FSEC in treating UC. Methods: Forty SPF-grade Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group, the model group, the mesalazine group and the FSEC group. Except the control group (0.9% sodium chloride solution), the other 3 groups used 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 7 days to establish UC model. After successful modeling, the control group and the model group were given 2 mL/kgbw of 0.9% sodium chloride solution by gavage for 2 weeks, while the mesalazine group and the FSEC group were given 2 mL/kgbw of mesalazine suspension (0.2 g/kg) and FSEC granule suspension (2.16 g/kg), respectively. Pathological changes of colon tissue were observed after hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Rat fecal samples were collected, and 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were performed on intestinal flora. The α and β diversity of intestinal flora among the four groups were compared, and the dominant flora was screened using LEfSe analysis. Results: Compared with the control group, the model group showed a significant loss of colonic crypts and a large infiltration of inflammatory cells. Compared with the model group, the mesalazine group and the FSEC group exhibited a slight loss of colonic crypts, a small amount or an absence inflammatory cell infiltration, and improved tissue damage. The α-diversity analysis showed that compared with the control group, the Chao1 and Shannon indices in the model group increased, while the Simpson index decreased; compared with the model group, the Chao1 and Shannon indices in the mesalazine group and the FSEC group decreased, and the Simpson index increased（all P<0.05）. The β-diversity analysis showed that the sample distance between the FSEC group and the control group were more closer than that between the model group and the control group. LEfSe analysis results showed that the dominant bacteria in the model group were mainly from the Alistipes and Oscillospira. In the FSEC group, the dominant bacteria were from the Ruminococcus and Prevotella. Conclusion FSEC can improve the structures of intestinal flora, increase the abundance of beneficial bacteria such as Ruminococcus and Prevotella, reduce the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Alistipes, and alleviate the inflammatory response in UC rats.

Objective To quantitatively analyze and evaluate the content of rehabilitation policy for people with disabilities in China. Methods This study focused on ten national policies of disability rehabilitation issued from 2021 to 2023.It employed text mining techniques to process policy texts and constructed a policy modeling consistency index model for dis-ability rehabilitation policies in China.The relevant policies were evaluated and analyzed quantitatively. Results The disability rehabilitation policies in China were relatively comprehensive in terms of policy transparency,op-erational mechanisms and policy nature.However,there was still a need for optimization in terms of policy per-spectives,target groups,incentive mechanisms,and other aspects. Conclusion The overall quality of disability rehabilitation policy texts at the national level in China is relatively good.There is a need to further enhance the predictability of policy objectives,clarify the responsibilities and division of labor among various departments,and improve policy incentive mechanisms in future policy formulation,which will further refine China's disability rehabilitation policy system and contribute to high-quality develop-ment of the disability cause.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of first-episode and recurrent acute hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was con-ducted. The clinical data of 313 patients with HTGP admitted to 26 medical centers in China in the Chinese Acute Pancreatitis Clinical Research Group (CAPCTG)-PERFORM database from November 2020 to December 2021 were collected. There were 219 males and 94 females, aged 38(32,44)years. Of the 313 patients, 193 patients with first-episode HTGP were allocated into the first-episode group and 120 patients with recurrent HTGP were allocated into the recurrent group. Observation indica-tors: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) comparison of severity and prognosis in the course of disease within 14 days between the two groups; (3) the association between recurrent HTGP and the risk of persistent organ failure (POF); (4) follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the cumulative recurrence rate curve and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. The Logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis, and continuous variables were converted into categorical variables according to the mean value or common criteria. Propensity score matching was performed by 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, with caliper value of 0.02. Paired t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test and McNemar′s test were used for comparison between matched groups. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 313 patients,208 cases were successfully matched, including 104 cases in the first-episode group and 104 cases in the recurrent group. After propensity score matching, there was no significant difference in demographic characteristics, severity of illness scores and laboratory test between the two groups ( P>0.05). The elimination of gender, acute physiology and chornic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ score, computed tomography severity index score, systemic inflammatory response syndrome score, sequential organ failure assessment score, apolipoprotein E, C-reactive protein, creatinine, lactic acid dehydrogenase, procal-citonin confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups. (2) Comparison of severity and prognosis in the course of disease within 14 days between the two groups. There were signifi-cant differences in POF and local complications between the first-episode group and the recurrent group ( P<0.05). (3) The association between recurrent HTGP and the risk of POF. Results of uncor-rected univariate analysis showed that there was no association between recurrent HTGP and the risk of POF ( odds ratio=0.78, 95% confidence interval as 0.46-1.30, P>0.05). Results of multivariate analysis after adjusting for covariates such as gender, age, APACHE Ⅱ score, C-reactive protein, triglyceride and total cholesterol showed that compared with first-episode HTGP, recurrent HTGP was associated with a higher risk of POF ( odds ratio=2.22, 95% confidence interval as 1.05-4.71, P<0.05). Results of subgroup analysis showed that age<40 years was associated with an increased risk of POF ( odds ratio=3.31, 95% confidence interval as 1.09-10.08, P<0.05). (4) Follow-up. Twelve of the 313 patients died during hospitalization, including 9 cases in the first-episode group and 3 cases in the recurrent group. The rest of 301 surviving patients, including 184 cases in the first-episode group and 117 cases in the recurrent group, were followed up for 19.2(15.5, 21.9)months. Results of follow-up showed that for 184 survived patients of the first-episode group, 164 cases were followed up and 24 cases experienced recurrence, for 117 survived patients of the recurrent group,29 cases experienced recurrence, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.67, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with first-episode HTGP, patients with recurrent HTGP are more prone to POF and local complications, and are more prone to recurrence after discharge. The risk of POF in recurrent HTGP patients is 2.22 times that of those with first-episode, and the risk is higher in patients with age <40 years.

Abdominal hemorrhage is one of the most severe complications of infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN).Common causes of bleeding include arterial,venous,coagulopathy-related,and iatrogenic factors.The preferred treatment for IPN complicated by abdominal bleeding is digital subtraction angiography(DSA)combined with transcatheter arterial embolization.For patients with repeated negative DSA results,ineffective conservative treatment,or acute bleeding with extremely unstable vital signs,emergency surgery is required.The surgery should follow the principles of damage control.Preventing bleeding in IPN patients is a top priority for future work.This article,based on the diagnostic and treatment experience of the authors'team as well as relevant research findings,shares thoughts and discusses with fellow professionals regarding the diagnosis and treatment of IPN with abdominal hemorrhage.

Background and Aims:The occurrence of duodenal fistula following infected pancreatic necrosis(IPN)in the later stage of treatment for acute necrotizing pancreatitis presents a significant clinical challenge.It often leads to severe complications such as difficulty in administering enteral nutrition,electrolyte imbalances,abdominal bleeding,and worsening infections.This study was performed to explore the efficacy of enteral nutrition combined with step-up drainage in treating IPN complicated by duodenal fistula and to share single-center experience. Methods:The clinical data of 66 patients with IPN complicated by duodenal fistula who underwent enteral nutrition combined with step-up drainage in the Severe Pancreatitis Treatment Center of the Nanjing Eastern Theater General Hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results:Among the 66 patients,the median time from disease onset to the development of duodenal fistula was 53(32-75)d.In 46 cases(69.7％),suspicious digestive fluid-like discharge was observed from drainage tube or double-lumen tube.The diagnosis and location of the duodenal fistula were confirmed in 49 patients(74.2％)through fistulography,while the remaining cases were confirmed via surgical exploration or endoscopy.The duodenal fistulas were mainly located in the horizontal part(33.3％)or descending part(50.0％)of the duodenum.Nutritional access was safely established through nasojejunal tube in 61 patients(92.4％),while 5 patients(7.6％)required surgery to establish the access.Twenty patients(30.3％)experienced secondary abdominal bleeding,and 14 patients(21.2％)died.Among the 52 patients who recovered,49(94.2％)healed through step-up drainage,while 3(5.8％)required surgery due to delayed healing.Of the 49 patients who underwent non-surgical treatment,10(20.4％)achieved fistula closure through drainage tube,and 39(79.6％)achieved closure through continuous lavage drainage via double-lumen tube.The median healing time for duodenal fistula in non-surgically treated patients was 41(29-80)d. Conclusion:Patients with IPN complicated by duodenal fistula are in a critical condition.Enteral nutrition combined with step-up drainage is an effective treatment for these patients.
