Objective:To standardize the management of auditory hallucination symptoms in inpatients with mental illness and develop an expert consensus on the management of auditory hallucinations in hospitalized psychiatric patients.Methods:From March 2023 to July 2023, the Mental Health Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association focused on the key issues in the management of auditory hallucinations symptoms in inpatients with mental illness, based on clinical practice, using literature analysis combined with the work experience of mental health experts, and formed the first draft of the expert consensus on the management of auditory hallucinations in inpatients with mental illness (hereinafter referred to as the consensus). Through 3 rounds of expert consultation and 3 rounds of expert demonstration meeting, the draft was adjusted, revised, and improved.Results:37 experts were included in the Delphi expert consultation, 1 male and 36 females with 39-67(51.48 ± 6.61) years old. The positive coefficients of experts in 3 rounds of Delphi expert consultations were all 100%, and the degrees of expert authority were 0.924, 0.938 and 0.949, respectively. The average importance value of each item was higher than 4.00, the variation coefficient of each item was less than 0.25. The Kendall harmony coefficient of the experts were 0.179, 0.195 and 0.198, respectively (all P<0.05). There were 15, 12, 12 experts in the first, seeond, third rounds of expert demonstration meeting. Finally, a consensus was reached on the recommendation of 4 parts, included auditory hallucination assessment, management format, symptom management implementation, and precautions. Conclusions:The consensus covers all parts of the management of auditory hallucination symptoms in hospitalized patients with mental disorders, which is practical and scientific. It is helpful to guide mental health professionals to standardize the management of auditory hallucination symptoms, improve the quality of nursing and ensure the safety of patients.

Objective:To construct a Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 25 experts from fields such as psychiatric nursing, psychiatric management, and rehabilitation treatment as the subject of the consultation. On the basis of literature review and clinical experience, the research group used the Delphi method to conduct two rounds of consultation with 25 experts, forming a Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression. The enthusiasm of experts was evaluated using the effective response rate of the questionnaires. The authority level of experts was assessed using an authority coefficient. The concentration of expert opinions was evaluated using the mean of item importance assignment and coefficient of variation. The degree of coordination of expert opinions was represented by the Kendall coordination coefficient.Results:The effective response rates of the two rounds of consultation questionnaires were all 100%, with expert authority coefficients of 0.890 and 0.904, and the Kendall coordination coefficients of expert opinions of 0.247 and 0.203 ( P<0.05) . The Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression was constructed, which included 10 dimensions and 38 items. Conclusions:The Discharge Preparation Service Demand Assessment Scale for Psychiatric Patients with Depression is scientific and reliable, which can provide a basis for clinical nurses to evaluate the discharge preparation service demands of psychiatric patients with depression.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules on blood lipid, carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA) and plaque in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE -/-) mice. Methods:The ApoE -/- mice were fed with high-fat food to establish carotid atherosclerosis model. The ApoE -/- mice were randomly by weight divided into model group, Atorvastatin group, low- and high-dose Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules group. The C57BL/6cnc mice were used as control group and fed with normal diet. The Atorvastatin group was given atorvastatin suspension 1.3 mg/kg, low and high dose groups were given Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsule suspension 325 and 975 mg/kg, and the control group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water. The mice were gavaged with 0.1 ml/10 g body weight, once a day, and the weight of mice was recorded weekly. After 12 weeks of continuous intragastric administration, the blood lipid and liver /body weight index of the mice were measured. Carotid arteries were sliced to conduct oil red O staining and VG staining for the pathological analysis. Results:After 12 weeks of drug administration, the weight of mice in the high-dose group was significantly lower than the model group. The level of TC (25.92 ± 4.21 mmol/L vs. 30.39 ± 4.67 mmol/L) and LDL-C (7.97 ± 2.14 mmol/L vs. 10.26 ± 1.97 mmol/L) in the high-dose group significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the level of HDL-C in the low and high-dose group significantly increased ( P<0.05). The pathological results showed that after 12 weeks of administration, the carotid artery lipid deposition blockage rate in the Atorvastatin group and the high dose group were significantly smaller than the model group( P<0.05), and no vascular plaque has been formed. Conclusion:The Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules could reduce LDL-C, increase HDL-C levels, reduce the constriction of arterial stenosis and slow down the formation process of carotid plaque.

Objective:To establish autoverification rules for coagulation tests in multicenter cooperative units, in order to reduce workload for manual review of suspected results and shorten turnaround time (TAT) of test reports, while ensure the accuracy of results.Methods:A total of 14 394 blood samples were collected from fourteen hospitals during December 2019 to March 2020. These samples included: Rules Establishment Group 11 230 cases, including 1 182 cases for Delta check rules; Rules Validation Group 3 164 cases, including 487cases for Delta check; Clinical Application Trial Group 77 269 cases. Samples were analyzed for coagulation tests using Sysmex CS series automatic coagulation analyzers, and the clinical information, instrument parameters, test results, clinical diagnosis, medication history of anticoagulant and other relative results such as HCT, TG, TBIL, DBIL were summarized; on the basis of historical data, the 2.5 and 97.5 percentile of all data arranged from low to high were initially accumulated; on the basis of clinical suggestions, critical values and specific drug use as well as relative guidelines, autoverification rules and limits were established.The rules were then input into middleware, in which Stage I/Stage II validation was done. Positive coincidence, negative coincidence, false negative, false positive, autoverification pass rate, passing accuracy (coincidence of autoverification and manual verification) were calculated. Autoverification rules underwent trial application in coagulation results reports.Results:(1) The autoverification algorisms involve 33 rules regarding PT/INR, APTT, FBG, D-dimer, FDP,Delta check, reaction curve and sample abnormalities; (2)Autoverification Establishment Group showed autoverification pass rate was 68.42% (7 684/11 230), the false negative rate was 0%(0/11230), coincidence of autoverification and manual verification was 98.51%(11 063/11 230), in which positive coincidence and negative coincidence were respectively 30.09% (3 379/11 230) and 68.42%(7 684/11 230); Autoverification Validation Group showed autoverification pass rate was 60.37%(1 910/3 164), the false negative rate was 0%(0/11 230), coincidence of autoverification and manual verification was 97.79%(3 094/3 164), in which positive coincidence and negative coincidence were respectively 37.42%(1 184/3 164) and 60.37%(1 910/3 164); (3) Trialed implementation of these autoverification rules on 77 269 coagulation samples showed that the average TAT shortened by 8.5 min-83.1 min.Conclusions:This study established 33 autoverification rules in coagulation tests. Validation showedthese rules could ensure test quality while shortening TAT and lighten manual workload.

Objective:To evaluate the nutritional status of patients in intensive care unit (ICU) by using nutritional risk screening 2002 scale (NRS2002), subjective general assessment (SGA) and critical illness nutritional risk score (NUTRIC), and to compare the characteristics and applicability of three scoring tools.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted. 315 patients admitted to the comprehensive ICU of Affiliated Qingdao Municipal Hospital of Qingdao University from April 2018 to July 2019 were enrolled. Basic information of patients was collected, and patients were divided into two groups with 65 years old as the standard to compare the nutritional status of patients among different genders and ages. The nutritional status of patients were assessed by NRS2002, SGA, and NUTRIC. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), upper arm circumference (AC), leg circumference (LC), and other related parameters of human nutrition were measured. Total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), prealbumin (PA), serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), total number of lymphocytes (LYM), hemoglobin (Hb), C-reactive protein (CRP) and other blood biochemical indicators were performed. Spearman rank correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the three nutrition evaluation scales and other objective nutrition parameters. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors of nutritional status with three scales of patients in ICU.Results:Among 315 patients in ICU, 183 were male and 132 were female. There were 143 patients < 65 years old and 172 ≥ 65 years old. In male patients, the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, age and BUN of patients aged ≥ 65 years old were significantly increased, and the height, weight, BMI, TSF, AC, LC, Alb and PA were significantly lowered as compared with those aged < 65 years old, while the difference in other indicators was not statistically significant. In the female patients, the APACHEⅡ score, age, SCr and BUN of the patients aged ≥ 65 years old were significantly increased, the height, Alb, PA and Hb were significantly decreased as compared with those aged < 65 years old, and the difference in other indicators was not statistically significant. The proportion of patients with nutritional risk evaluated by NRS2002 (NRS2002 score ≥ 3) was 87.62% (276/315). SGA showed that the proportion of malnourished patients (SGA was grade B or C) was 62.86% (198/315). NUTRIC showed 66.03% of patients (208/315) in high nutritional risk (NUTRIC score ≥ 5). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there were significant correlations among NRS2002, SGA and NUTRIC of patients in ICU ( rNRS2002 with SGA = 0.522, rNRS2002 with NUTRIC = 0.392, rSGA with NUTRIC = 0.442, all P < 0.01). Among the three assessment tools, SGA had the best correlation with blood biochemical indicators and body measurements to assess nutritional status, followed by NRS2002, and NUTRIC had the worst correlation. Binary multivariate Logistic regression showed that APACHEⅡ score, BMI, AC, BUN and TG were factors influencing NRS2002 assessment of nutritional status in ICU patients [odds ratio ( OR) were 2.535, 0.404, 1.438, 0.858, and 2.391, respectively, all P < 0.05]; APACHEⅡ score, age, weight, TP, BUN, LYM and CRP were influence factors of SGA for evaluating the malnutrition of patients in ICU ( OR values were 1.074, 1.038, 0.921, 0.947, 1.077, 1.625 and 0.991, respectively, all P < 0.05); APACHEⅡ score, age, LYM and CRP were the influence factors of NUTRIC assessment for malnutrition of patients in ICU ( OR values were 1.159, 1.049, 0.715 and 0.995, respectively, all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The nutrition status of ICU patients evaluated by NRS2002, SGA and NUTRIC was simple and easy to operate, and the positive screening rate of NRS2002 was the highest, which was suitable for patients with mild conditions in ICU. SGA is the most valuable tool to evaluate the nutritional status of ICU patients. NUTRIC has a poor correlation with objective indicators reflecting nutritional status, while its indicators are objective and easy to obtain, which is suitable for ICU patients with critical condition and unclear consciousness. Nutritional assessment tools should be integrated with the patient's gender, age, anthropometric and biochemical indicators.

The elderly represent a segment with a high incidence of pain.Consciousness impairment and language dysfunction increase the difficulty of pain assessment.At the same time, a lack of understanding of neuropathic mechanisms and assessment scales often leads to inappropriate pain assessment in the elderly with dementia.This article reviews the relationship between dementia and pain, pain assessment protocols and the use of scales in the elderly with dementia.

Objective: To explore sarcoplasmic reticulum ryanodine receptor2 (RyR 2) expression and calcium releasing function in chronic heart failure (CHF) rabbits and to study the impact of long term valsartan treatment in relevant animals. Methods: HF model was established by volume overloading with pressure overloading in experimental rabbits. 27 rabbits were divided into 3 groups: Sham group, HF group and HF+valsartan group. n=9 in each group and the animals were treated for 7 weeks. Left ventricular structure, hemodynamic parameters, expression and functional changes of myocardiocyte sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR 2 were observed and compared among different groups. Results: Compared with Sham group, HF group had increased left ventricular mess index (LVMI), left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and decreased left ventricular shortening fraction, LVEF, all P<0.05. Compared with HF group, HF+valsartan group showed decreased LVMI, LVEDP and increased left ventricular shortening fraction, LVEF, all P<0.05. Sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR 2 expression and calcium releasing function were lower in HF group than Sham group, P<0.05; while they were both higher in HF+valsartan group than HF group, P<0.05. Conclusion: Long term application of valsartan could improve the cardiac function which might be related to increased myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum RyR 2 expression and calcium releasing function in experimental CHF rabbits.

OBJECTIVETo detect potential mutation of MLC1 gene in a child affected with megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC).

METHODSClinical symptoms of the patient were retrieved. Peripheral blood DNA samples from the patient, her parents and healthy controls were collected. Potential mutation of the MLC1 gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing.

RESULTSThe patient presented with severe motor developmental delay and a giant skull. Magnetic resonance scan showed diffuse white matter swelling in bilateral hemispheres. DNA sequencing identified a novel homozygous c.177-c.180delC mutation of the MLC1 gene. The parents of the patient both carried a heterozygous mutation c.177-c.180delC but had a normal phenotype.

CONCLUSIONA novel MLC1 mutation c.177-c.180delC has been identified in a patient with MLC. The mutation is presumably disease-causing and has derived from parents who are both carriers.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the cognition of medical staff for adverse drug reactions(ADR). METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among the physicians,nurses and pharmacists with different profes-sional titles in our hospital to investigate their cognition about ADR concept,their judgment for ADR and ADR reporting,and the results were analyzed by statistical methods. RESULTS:Totally 452 questionnaires were sent out,and 439 were effectively re-ceived,with effective rate of 97.12%. In terms of correct cognition rate about ADR basic concept and the main reasons,the sur-veyed pharmacists were higher than physicians and nurses,the senior professional titles of surveyed pharmacists were higher than the intermediate and junior,the pharmacists with senior professional titles were the highest and the junior were the lowest,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of the proportion of certain for ADR judgment,the surveyed nurses were lower than pharmacists and physicians,the surveyed physicians with senior and intermediate professional titles were higher the ju-nior,the surveyed nurses with intermediate titles were higher than the junior,the surveyed pharmacists with senior professional ti-tles were higher than the intermediate and the junior,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of cognition about ADR reporting,the surveyed pharmacists were the highest and the nurses were the lowest,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05),while in terms of the proportion of knowing ADR reporting timing limit,reporting procedures and depart-ments,the surveyed pharmacists and physicians with junior professional titles were lower than the senior and intermediate,the dif-ferences were statistically significant(P<0.05);in terms of reasons for missed ADR reporting,the proportion of consideration of the risk of causing medical disputes for doctors of the surveyed physicians was higher than pharmacists and nurses,while the sur-veyed nurses showed higher proportion for doing not understand reporting procedures,doing not reporting,thinking ADR reporting was dispensable and uncertain for ADR identification,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Medical staff with different professional titles and occupations have different cognition about ADR basic concept,judgment and re-porting,the pharmacist are relatively good,followed by the physician and nurse,especially the nurse,and the medical staff with junior professional titles are relatively poor. It is necessary to strengthen ADR education and training for them,play professional ad-vantages from the pharmacist and optimize ADR reporting procedures to improve the reporting rate and quality of ADR.

Objective: To explore the changes of protein expression and activity of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II (CaMK-II) in myocardium nucleus and sarcoplasmic reticulum in experimental rabbits with heart failure (HF).
Methods: A total of 16 rabbits were divided into 2 groups: Sham group and HF group, the HF model was established by volume overload plus pressure overload.n=8 in each group and all animals were treated for 7 weeks. Left ventricular structure, hemodynamic parameters and protein expression and activity of CaMK-II in myocardium nucleus and sarcoplasmic reticulum were examined and compared between 2 groups.
Results: Compared with Sham group, HF group presented increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (1.32 ± 0.06) g/kg vs (3.61 ± 0.09) g/kg, LVEDP (-1.50 ± 0.50) mmHg vs (23.00 ± 2.37) mmHg, allP<0.05; while decreased left ventricular shorten fraction (37.83 ± 3.58) % vs (17.38 ± 3.13) % and LVEF (71.92 ± 4.56) % vs (38.50 ± 6.07) %, allP<0.05. The protein expression and activity of CaMK-II were both higher in HF group than Sham group, allP<0.05.
Conclusion: Increased protein expression and activity of CaMK-II in myocardium nucleus and sarcoplasmic reticulum might be one of the mechanisms for HF occurrence in experimental rabbits.
