Objective:To explore the application effect of the forgetting curve combined with blended learning in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) nursing training for ICU nurses.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted from June to November 2022. Sixty-three ICU nurses from the First Hospital of Quanzhou City were selected using cluster sampling and divided into an observation group ( n=30) and a control group ( n=33). The control group received traditional teaching methods for training, while the observation group received training using the forgetting curve combined with blended learning. Compared the ECMO theoretical scores and skill operation scores of two groups of nurses after 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months of training; observed the core competencies and training satisfaction of ECMO nurses before and after training in two groups of nurses. Results:In the control group, there were 7 males and 26 females with an average age of (27.88 ± 4.36) years old; in the observation group, there were 6 males and 24 females with an average age of (28.67 ± 4.24) years old.Prior to training, there were no statistically significant differences in theoretical scores, skill operation scores, and core competencies between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months of training, the observation group′s ECMO theoretical scores were (80.33 ± 3.11), (78.13 ± 3.70), (76.73 ± 3.30) points respectively, higher than those of the control group which were (75.18 ± 3.30), (73.88 ± 2.75), (70.48 ± 2.96) points, with statistically significant differences ( t=6.36, 5.21, 7.92, all P<0.01); the observation group′s ECMO skill operation scores were (84.10 ± 4.16), (82.73 ± 3.71), (81.50 ± 3.40) points respectively, higher than the control group′s (78.09 ± 4.30), (74.97 ± 4.17), (71.85 ± 4.03) points, with statistically significant differences ( t=5.63, 7.77, 10.22, all P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences between two groups of nurses in terms of ECMO theory score and skill operation score, as well as time and interactive effect after training ( Finteraction=11.16, 84.76, both P<0.05). After training, the observation group′s total score for ECMO nurse core competency was (280.23 ± 9.23) points, superior to the control group′s (245.39 ± 14.90) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t=11.26, P<0.01). The observation group′s satisfaction total score and the scores in various dimensions were (99.17 ± 10.79), (4.43 ± 0.50), (4.30 ± 0.53), (4.57 ± 0.68), (4.37 ± 0.67), (4.23 ± 0.57) points, all higher than those of the control group which were (84.30 ± 12.61), (3.67 ± 0.96), (3.48 ± 0.71), (3.67 ± 0.74), (3.73 ± 0.72), (3.82 ± 0.77) points, with statistically significant differences ( t values were 2.42 to 5.09, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of the forgetting curve combined with blended learning in ECMO nursing training for ICU nurses is scientifically feasible. It helps nurses master ECMO theory and skill operations, improve ECMO nurse core competencies, enhance training satisfaction, and provides a new method for ECMO nursing training.

The pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis(UC)is still unclear,and the pathogenesis based on intestinal mucosal immune imbalance is now widely recognized."Spleen as the defense"refers to the function of the spleen to protect the body and defend against pathogenic factors,which is highly consistent with modern mucosal immunology theory.The abnormal function of"Spleen as the defense"is the key reason for the immune imbalance of UC intestinal mucosa.In this paper,"spleen as the defense"as the starting point,to explore the mechanism of UC intestinal mucosal immune dysfunction,to consolidate the theoretical basis for the treatment of UC based on spleen,and to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of UC from the perspective of restoring intestinal mucosal immune homeostasis.

Background: Thyroid diseases are highly prevalent worldwide, but their diagnosis remains a challenge. We established reference intervals (RIs) for thyroid-associated hormones and evaluated the prevalence of thyroid diseases in China. Methods: After excluding outliers based on the results of ultrasound screening, thyroid antibody tests, and the Tukey method, the medical records of 20,303 euthyroid adults, who visited the Department of Health Care at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018, were analyzed. Thyroid-associated hormones were measured by the Siemens Advia Centaur XP analyzer. The RIs for thyroid-associated hormones were calculated according to the CLSI C28-A3 guidelines, and were compared with the RIs provided by Siemens. The prevalence of thyroid diseases over the five years was evaluated and compared using the chi-square test. Results: The RIs for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), total thyroxine (TT4), and total triiodothyronine (TT3) were 0.71–4.92 mIU/L, 12.2–20.1 pmol/L, 3.9–6.0 pmol/L, 65.6–135.1 nmol/L, and 1.2–2.2 nmol/L, respectively. The RIs of all hormones except TT4 differed significantly between males and females. The RIs of TSH increased with increasing age. The prevalence of overt hypothyroidism, overt hyperthyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and subclinical hyperthyroidism was 0.5% and 0.8%, 0.2% and 0.6%, 3.8% and 6.1%, and 3.3% and 4.7% in males and females, respectively, which differed from those provided by Siemens. Conclusions Sex-specific RIs were established for thyroid-associated hormones, and the prevalence of thyroid diseases was determined in the Chinese population.

Background: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of hospital-acquired diarrhea and an important cause of death in hospitalized patients with diarrhea. However, there are not sufficient clinical researches on the risk factors of CDI. Aims: To investigate the risk factors of CDI in hospitalized patients with diarrhea. Methods: A total of 230 hospitalized diarrhea patients who received Clostridium difficile test from January 2015 to January 2019 at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were collected. The patients were divided into CDI group and non-CDI group. Logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the risk factors of CDI. Results: Compared with non-CDI group, patients in CDI group had a longer hospital stay (P<0.05) and a higher proportion of surgery in the past 6 months (P<0.05). The number of comorbidities in CDI group was higher than that in non-CDI group (P<0.05), and the ratio of gastrointestinal disease, cardiovascular disease, blood/immune system disease, nervous system disease in CDI group were higher than those in non-CDI group (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed the number of comorbidities (OR=3.215, 95% CI: 1.576-4.743; P=0.003), gastrointestinal disease (OR=4.135, 95% CI: 3.048-11.416; P=0.000), surgical history (OR=6.734, 95% CI: 2.692-15.849; P=0.000) and antibiotic use (OR=5.996, 95% CI: 2.173-15.481; P=0.000) were risk factors of CDI, especially the use of quinolone antibiotics (OR=4.769, 95% CI: 2.138-14.757; P=0.000). Conclusions: CDI can prolong the hospital stay of patients with diarrhea. Number of comorbidities, underlying gastrointestinal disease, recent history of surgery and antibiotic use, especially the use of quinolone antibiotics are risk factors of CDI in hospitalized patients with diarrhea.

Objective:To summarize the clinical features of intestinal Beh?et′s disease, so as to provide reference for the diagnosis of the disease.Methods:From April 1 2014 to January 31 2019, the clinical data of 47 patients diagnosed as intestinal Beh?et′s disease at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, which included initial symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms, complications, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), the levels of C reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin, serum albumin, results of acupuncture test, gastrointestinal involved site and ulcer shape. At the same time, gender differences of clinical manifestations were compared. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:Among 47 patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease, the initial symptoms of 26 (55.3%) cases were gastrointestinal symptoms. Abdominal pain was the most common symptom, the others were diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal distension and perianal abscess, and the incidence rate was 80.9%(38/47), 46.8% (22/47), 42.6% (20/47), 36.2% (17/47) and 2.1% (1/47), respectively. The main complications were gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation and obstruction, and the incidence rates was 40.4% (19/47), 4.3% (2/47) and 4.3% (2/47), respectively. Thirty-seven (78.7%) patients had different degrees of hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin<35 g/L). The CRP level of 36(76.6%) patients increased. The ESR of 36 (76.6%) patients increased. Twenty-two (46.8%) patients had mild anemia (hemoglobin<90 g/L). The acupuncture test was positive in 25 (53.2%) patients. The involved sites of gastrointestinal tract were terminal ileum and ileocecal junction, colon, esophagus, duodenum and jejunum, stomach, and rectum, the proportion was 57.4% (27/47), 27.2% (13/47), 23.4% (11/47), 23.4% (11/47), 17.0% (8/47) and 8.5% (4/47), respectively. All 47 (100.0%) patients had oral ulcers. 62.1%(18/29) patients presented with multiple ulcers under endoscope. The shape of ulcer was round ulcer, irregular ulcer, and longitudinal ulcer, the proportion was 48.3% (14/29), 34.5% (10/29) and 17.2 (5/29), respectively. The incidence rate of genital ulcer of female patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease was higher than that of male patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease (85.7%, 18/21 vs. 30.8%, 8/26), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=14.189, P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the female group and the male group in the incidence rate of oral ulcer, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and positive rate of acupuncture test (100.0%, 21/21 vs. 100.0%, 26/26; 85.7%, 18/21 vs. 76.9%, 20/26; 42.9%, 9/21 vs. 50.0%, 13/26; 52.4%, 11/21 vs. 58.3%, 14/26, all P>0.05). Conclusions:The common clinical symptoms of intestinal Beh?et′s disease are oral ulcers, abdominal pain, diarrhea and genital ulcer. Female patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease are more likely to develop genital ulcer than male patients with intestinal Beh?et′s disease. Multiple ulcers are more common under endoscopy, which are round ulcer, irregular ulcer and longitudinal ulcer. The most common sites are the terminal ileum and ileocecal junction, followed by colon, esophagus and other parts.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze ultrasonographic finding in fetuses with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) and refine the critical region on chromosome 4p16.3 for WHS-associated fetal growth retardation (FGR). METHODS: In total 2262 fetuses with abnormal ultrasonographic findings who underwent prenatal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis were reviewed. WHS-associated 4p deletions detected in these fetuses were compared, and prenatal ultrasound findings in such fetuses were summarized. Meanwhile, WHS cases with prenatal ultrasound findings and isolated 4p deletions in previous studies were included for further analysis. An analysis of smallest region of overlap (SRO) among discrepant 4p deletions in these cases above was performed to define a critical region for FGR. RESULTS: 4p deletions were detected in 10 of the 2262 fetuses and 5.0% of the 202 fetuses with FGR. Combined with 80 WHS cases from previous studies, the most common prenatal ultrasound finding was FGR, which yielded a frequency of 76.7%. In addition, a SRO spanning approximately 419 kb (genomic position: 1.32-1.74 Mb) on chromosome 4p16.3 was discovered by comparing the unusual 4p deletions among the 10 fetuses. The region contained seven protein-coding genes, including TACC3, SLBP, TMEM129, FAM53A, MAEA, UVSSA and CRIPAK. CONCLUSION For fetuses with WHS, the most common prenatal ultrasound phenotype was FGR. A region between 1.32 Mb to 1.74 Mb from the telomere on chromosome 4p16.3 is critical for WHS-associated FGR, for which TACC3 and SLBP are the candidate genes.

Objective:To explore the risk factors, clinical features, endoscopic characteristics and the efficacy of antiviral therapy in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients complicated with cytomegaloviremia (CMV) and Epstein-Barr (EB) viremia.Methods:From April 1, 2014 to January 31, 2019, at The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, a total of 320 UC patients hospitalized at the Department of Gastroenterology were enrolled. According to the pathogens, the patients were divided into four groups: complicated with CMV and EB viremia group ( n=35), only complicated with CMV viremia group ( n=33), only complicated with EB viremia group ( n=52) and without CMV and EB viremia group ( n=200). Clinical features and the efficacy of antiviral therapy of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia. Kruskal-Wallis H test, Chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The proportion of patients of age>60 years old (42.86%, 15/35), the rate of glucocorticoid use (51.43%, 18/35) within three months before onset and the inefficacy rate of glucocorticoid treatment (22.86%, 8/35) of UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia group were all higher than those of UC without CMV and EB viremia group (14.00%, 28/200; 24.50%, 49/200; 1.00%, 2/200), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=17.062, 10.598 and 29.769; all P<0.01). However, there were no statistically significant differences between UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia group and UC without CMV and EB viremia group in gender, and treatment of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), azathioprine and infliximab within three months before onset (all P>0.05). The proportion of patients with fever (54.29%, 19/35), abdominal pain (91.43%, 32/35), hematochezia (94.29%, 33/35), weight loss (28.57%, 10/35), severe disease activity (94.29%, 33/35), total colon involvement (91.43%, 32/35), serum albumin less than 30 g/L (71.43%, 25/35) and hemoglobin less than 100 g/L (48.57%, 17/35) of UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia group were all higher than those of UC without CMV and EB viremia group (13.50%, 27/200; 43.00%, 86/200; 44.00%, 88/200; 13.50%, 27/200; 38.00%, 76/200; 65.00%, 130/200; 18.00%, 36/200 and 18.50%, 37/200), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=31.475, 27.945, 32.930, 5.100 and 40.194, Fisher exact test, χ2=44.242 and 15.220, all P<0.01). However, there were no statistically significantl differences in clinical classification and disease course (all P>0.05). The incidence rates of deep ulcer (45.71%, 16/35), irregular ulcer (42.86%, 15/35) and longitudinal ulcer (8.53%, 3/35) under endoscopy of UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia group were significantly higher than those of UC without CMV and EB viremia group (1.50%, 3/200; 3.50%, 7/200 and 1.00%, 2/200), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=72.521 and 49.837, Fisher exact test, all P<0.01). The incidence rates of deep ulcer and irregular ulcer under endoscopy of UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia group were higher than those of UC only complicated with EB viremia group (15.38%, 8/52 and 11.54%, 6/52), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.663 and 11.206, P=0.002 and 0.001). The results of Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that severe disease activity, serum albumin level less than 30 g/L, and deep ulcer and irregular ulcer under endoscopy were risk factors of UC patients complicated with CMV and EB viremia (odds ratio=48.519, 44.352, 53.432 and 39.989, 95% confidence interval 9.057 to 587.669, 4.499 to 437.245, 3.302 to 864.670 and 3.418 to 467.910, all P<0.05). The improvement rate of antiviral therapy in UC complicated with CMV and EB viremia group (73.53%, 25/34) was significantly lower than those of UC only complicated with CMV group (96.88%, 31/32) and UC only complicated EB viremia group (95.65%, 44/46), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=6.989 and 6.310, P=0.008 and 0.012). Conclusions:UC patients with severe disease activity, serum albumin level less than 30 g/L, and deep ulcer and irregular ulcer under endoscopy are more likely to develop CMV and EB viremia. The more severe the disease, the worse the treatment response, so it is necessary to strengthen the screening to CMV and EB virus infection in UC patients.
