Objective To construct an evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing deep vein thrombosis(DVT)and provide a scientific and targeted theoretical basis for nurses to carry out evidence-based nursing practice in DVT prevention.Methods Based on the previous evidence-based nursing practice project on DVT prevention after hip and knee arthroplasty,the research team used theoretical analysis and brainstorming to develop a draft of the work model.Expert meetings were organized to validate the content of the draft using the Delphi method,leading to the finalization of the evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing DVT.Results The Knowledge-to-Action(KTA)framework was selected as the basic framework for constructing the evidence-based nursing practice model for preventing DVT.Theoretical Domain Framework,Theory of Planned Behavior,and Social Cognitive Theory were chosen to explore the influencing factors of nurses'behavior change in preventing DVT through evidence-based practice.The authority coefficient of the participating experts was 0.904,indicating high reliability.The final model consisted of 6 key components:knowledge generation,problem identification,localization and adaptation,knowledge application,sustained knowledge use,and conceptual framework for behavior change through evidence-based practice.Conclusion Based on theoretical analysis and clinical practice,this study developed an evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing DVT using the expert meeting.The research methodology was scientific,and the content was reliable,providing a theoretical basis for nurses to engage in evidence-based nursing practice for DVT prevention.

Objective:To explore the current situation of nursing human caring in hospital wards and analyze its influencing factors, so as to facilitate the development of nursing human caring practice.Methods:From July to November 2022, a total of 107 hospitals were surveyed through stratified convenience sampling method, and 4 072 ward nursing managers were recruited to finish the general information questionnaire and the ward nursing human caring status questionnaire. The general information included the region, class and type of the hospital, etc. The ward nursing human caring status questionnaire included 38 items in 5 dimensions of nursing human caring system and process, humanistic quality and training of nursing staff, humanistic environment and facilities, human caring procedures and measures, and human caring quality evaluation and improvement, with a full score of 190 points. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the general data, independent samples t-test, ANOVA and correlation analysis were used to analyze the factors influencing the current status of nursing human caring in the ward, while multiple linear regression analysis was used to conduct a multivariate analysis. Results:The score of nursing human caring in hospital wards was 156.91±27.78. Whether the hospital had carried out nursing human caring pilot(demonstration) wards, whether the ward had previously been a hospital nursing human caring pilot(demonstration) nursing unit, the type of ward, and whether nursing managers had participated in human caring training were the influencing factors of the implication of nursing humanistic caring in wards( P<0.05). Conclusions:The practice of nursing human caring in hospital wards is at a good level, but needs to be further strengthened. Nursing managers should take systematically strategies to promote the development of nursing human caring practice.

Objective:To observe the changes of pulmonary function and its influential factors in residents of a rural community and investigate the prevention and control measures.Methods:A survey was made in residents from a rural community in Qingdao who received public health services from September 2017 to December 2019. The demographic data, behavioral and medical history information were collected. Forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second were measured. The factors that affect lung function were analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate analysis.Results:This survey involved 5184 residents consisting of 2199 (42.4%) males and 2985 (57.6%) females. 1322 (25.5%) residents had pulmonary dysfunction. Univariate analysis showed that residents aged ≥ 60 years had a higher risk for developing pulmonary dysfunction than residents aged < 60 years (26.1% vs. 14.3%, χ2 = 19.34, P < 0.001), and male residents had a higher risk for developing pulmonary dysfunction than female residents (32.9% vs. 20.0%, χ2 = 110.74, P < 0.001). With the increase in body mass, the incidence of pulmonary dysfunction gradually decreased. The proportion of residents with pulmonary dysfunction with low body mass was higher than that in residents with normal body mass and high body mass (43.4% vs. 27.8% or 22.8%, χ2 = 8.86, 17.63, P = 0.003, < 0.001). The proportion of residents with pulmonary dysfunction was higher in those with a history of chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, or obstructive pulmonary disease than in those without such a history (68.3% vs. 23.2%) χ2 = 263.33, P < 0.001). The proportion of residents with pulmonary dysfunction was significantly higher in smokers, whether or not had quit smoking than in non-smokers (35.1%, 36.3% vs. 22.8%, χ2 = 48.83, 86.46, both P < 0.001). The proportion of residents with the normal pulmonary function was not related to the exposure history of dust and chemical poisons and the family history of respiratory diseases ( χ2 = 0.38, 2.29, P = 0.535, 0.130). Multivariate analysis showed that age ≥ 60 years, male sex, low body mass, smoking, and a history of respiratory system diseases were the independent risk factors for pulmonary dysfunction. Among smokers, the number of cigarettes smoked was higher in smokers with pulmonary dysfunction than those with normal pulmonary function ( t = -2.39, P = 0.009). Conclusion:There are many risk factors for pulmonary dysfunction. Primary medical service institutes should carry out pulmonary function testing and formulate targeted prevention strategies, which help realize early detection and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Objective:To investigate the value of α-synuclein (α-syn) concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in predicting postoperative delirium (POD).Methods:One thousand patients underwent elective surgery with combined epidural-spinal anesthesia in our hospital from January 2018 to September 2020 were selected.The epidural puncture was performed at L 3, 4 interspace, and 2 ml of CSF was collected after the needle reaching the subarachnoid space.The concentrations of α-syn, β-amyloid (Aβ)40, Aβ42, total tau protein (T-tau), and phosphorylated tau protein (P-tau) in CSF were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The concentrations of α-syn in CSF and occurrence of POD in patients of different ages were recorded.Patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group according to whether POD occurred, and frequency matching (1∶1) was performed based on five matching variables of age, ASA physical status, education level, duration of operation, and intraoperative blood loss. Results:Eight hundred and forty-one patients were finally included in the study, and the incidence of POD was 15.0%. There were 126 cases in POD group and 126 cases in non-POD group after matching. The concentrations of α-syn in CSF and incidence of POD were gradually increased with age ( P<0.05). Compared with non-POD group, the concentrations of α-syn, T-tau and P-tau in CSF were significantly increased, the concentrations of Aβ40 and Aβ42 were decreased, Aβ40/P-tau, Aβ42/P-tau, Aβ42/Aβ40 and P-tau/T-tau were decreased in POD group ( P<0.05). After confounding factors were corrected by logistic regression analysis, increased concentrations of α-syn, p-tau, and T-tau in CSF were risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). Increased concentrations of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in CSF and increased Aβ40/P-tau and Aβ42/P-tau were protective factors for POD ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the concentration of α-syn in CSF was negatively correlated with Aβ40 and Aβ42 concentrations and positively correlated with P-tau and T-tau concentrations ( P<0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of concentrations of α-syn in CSF predicting POD was 0.895, Youden index was 0.664, sensitivity was 80.00%, and specificity was 86.36% ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The concentration of α-syn in CSF is related to the occurrence of POD, and it provides higher accuracy in predicting POD.

Objective:To establish the risk prediction models for postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery and to evaluate the predictive efficacy.Methods:A total of 685 patients of both sexes, aged 65-90 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status Ⅰ-Ⅳ, who underwent non-cardiac elective surgery requiring tracheal intubation during general anesthesia in general surgery, orthopedics, urology, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2020, were selected.Patients were assigned to the training set and validation set at a ratio of 7∶3 using a simple random sampling method.The clinical data of patients in the perioperative period were collected, and the patients were followed up within 1-7 days after operation (or before discharge), and the occurrence of POD was recorded.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for POD.The risk prediction model for POD was established based on the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis of the training set, a nomogram and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were drawn, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated.The validation set was used to verify the prediction model and assess the efficacy of the risk prediction model for POD.Results:A total of 653 patients were enrolled in this study, 139 patients developed POD, and the incidence was 21.3%.The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age, high ASA physical status classification, low preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score, complication with diabetes mellitus, low years of education, high preoperative Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale score, long anesthesia time and high numerical rating scale score after operation were independent risk factors for POD in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.The risk prediction model for POD was established based on the independent risk factors mentioned above.The AUC of the training set was 0.981, the Youden index was 0.881, the sensitivity was 95.95%, and the specificity was 92.92%; the AUC of the validation set was 0.939, the Youden index was 0.795, the sensitivity was 94.44%, and the specificity was 85.09%.Conclusion:The risk prediction model for POD established based on age, ASA physical status classification, history of diabetes melittus, years of education, preoperative Mini-Mental State Examination score, preoperative Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale score, anesthesia time and postoperative numerical rating scale score has good predictive efficacy in elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge, attitude and practice of exercise rehabilitation nursing of clinical nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in China.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to conduct an online survey of 9 091 nurses from 31 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions by using a self-designed questionnaire on Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Exercise Rehabilitation from May to July 2019. There were 34 items in the questionnaire, which mainly included the basic information of the survey objects, the knowledge and skills of sports rehabilitation nursing that nurses needed to master, the willingness of nurses to provide sports rehabilitation guidance and the current status of clinical implementation. A total of 9 091 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and the effective response rate was 100%.Results:Among the 9 091 nurses, 3 728 nurses (41.0%, 3 728/9 091) and 3 749 nurses (41.2%, 3 749/9 091) respectively indicated that they had not received relevant courses or skills training in school. 8 565 nurses (94.2%, 8 565/9 091) thought it was important to provide sports rehabilitation guidance, but they lacked the corresponding guidance ability, motivation and energy. In practice, 8 493 nurses (93.4%, 8 493/9 091) would provide suggestions and guidance related to sports rehabilitation to patients, mainly based on departmental nursing routine, relevant training, personal experience and literature.Conclusions:Clinical nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in China have a positive attitude to participate in the exercise rehabilitation guidance of patients, but the level of knowledge and skills is low, and the behavior of rehabilitation guidance needs to be standardized. In the future, it should be further strengthened in terms of professional training, personnel training and related guidelines and standard construction.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between the tea drinking habit and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients.Methods:Two hundred and ninety-two patients, aged 65-85 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, undergoing elective knee/hip arthroplasty under spinal-epidural anesthesia in our hospital, were enrolled in this study.The patient′s cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination at 1 day before operation.Peripheral venous blood samples were collected before anesthesia, and the concentrations of caffeine and tea polyphenols in plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.In the anesthesia recovery room after operation and at 1, 3 and 7 days after operation (or before discharge), neuropsychological tests were performed, and the Delirium Rating Scale was used to recognize POD developed.The patients were divided into POD group (P group) and non-POD group (NP group) according to whether POD occurred after operation.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the variables of which P values were less than 0.05. Results:There was no significant difference in age, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status, concentrations of caffeine and tea polyphenols in plasma between P group and NP group ( P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that age was an independent risk factor for POD, and concentrations of caffeine and tea polyphenols in plasma and tea drinking habits were protective factors for reducing the occurrence of POD in elderly patients. Conclusion:Tea drinking habit is a protective factor for reducing the occurrence of POD in elderly patients.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between cholinergic biomarkers and postoperative delirium (POD) in elderly patients.Methods:The patients, aged 65-85 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, underwent total knee/hip arthroplasty under combined spinal-epidural block in our hospital from July 2018 to September 2019, were collected.The baseline clinical data of patients were collected, and cubital venous blood samples 5 ml were collected before anesthesia to detect plasma concentrations of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). The neuropsychological testing was performed on 1 day before operation, following admission to the recovery room after surgery, and on 1, 3 and 7 days (or before discharge) after surgery.The patient′s cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) before surgery.Confusion Assessment Method and Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale were used to evaluate the occurrence of postoperative delirium (POD) after surgery.The patients were divided into POD group (P group) and non-POD group (NP group) according to whether POD occurred.Logistic regression was used to analyze the related risk factors for POD.Results:There were 349 cases in NP group and 57 cases in P group, and the incidence of POD was 14.0%.Compared with NP group, the age of patients, preoperative coexisting underlying diseases (≥3 types), plasma ChAT, TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations were increased, and plasma AChE and BuChE concentrations were decreased in P group ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that changes in plasma AChE, BuChE, and ChAT concentrations and older age were independent risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The development of POD is related to the preoperative changes in plasma AChE, BuChE and ChAT concentrations in elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of transient receptor potential canonical channels (TRPCs) in the heart and kidney of rat model of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). METHODS: Eighteen male SD rats were randomly assigned to intermittent hypoxia (IH) group (=9 ) and control group (=9). In IH group, rats were placed in a chamber and exposed to intermittent hypoxia for 8h (10AM-6PM) daily. The expression of TRPC-related mRNA and protein in the heart and kidney tissue were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS: The mRNA expressions of TRPC3/TRPC4/TRPC5 in heart tissues of IH group were increased significantly compared with the control group (all >0.05); while there were no significant differences in the mRNA expressions of TRPC1/TRPC3/TRPC4/TRPC5/TRPC6/TRPC7 in kidney tissue between two groups (all <0.05). The mRNA expressions of TRPC4, TRPC5 and TRPC6 in kidney tissues of IH group were lower than that in heart tissues (all <0.05). The mRNA expression of TRPC7 in kidney tissues of control group was significantly higher than that in heart tissues (<0.05). The expression of TRPC5 protein in heart tissues of IH group was significantly higher than that in the control group (<0.05); while there was no significant differences in the expression of TRPC5/TRPC6/TRPC7 protein in kidney tissue between two groups (all >0.05). CONCLUSIONS The IH rat model shows that TRPC5 channel is likely to be involved in the OSAHS induced pathophysiological changes in the myocardium and may become a target to prevent OSAHS related cardiac damage.
