Objective To develop a symptoms assessment scale for lung transplant recipients in early postoperative period,and assess its reliability and validity so as to provide clinical staff with a tool to evaluate the symptoms in the patients in the early period after lung transplantation.Methods With a symptom experience model,a preliminary item pool was established through literature reviews,semi-structured interviews and expert panel meetings between December 2021 and January 2022.Based on the preliminary item pool,an initial scale was proposed after two rounds of expert consultation between February and March 2022.The initial scale was finalised after all items had revised for language expression based on the results of cognitive interviews conducted in March 2022.Subsequently,the final version of the scale was applied in the survey of 116 recipients of lung transplant in the early postoperative stage at Wuxi People's Hospital between April 2022 and February 2023.The reliability and validity of scale were then further tested.Results A total of 112 patients responded to the questionnaire survey.The developed scale comprised 5 dimensions:psychology-related symptoms,respiratory related symptoms,digestive related symptoms,circulatory related symptoms and other symptoms,with 18 symptom items in total.Content validity indexes of the Item-level content validity index(I-CVI))were 0.833 to 1.000 and the Scale-level content validity index(S-CVI)was at 0.954.Exploratory factor analysis revealed five common factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 82.366%.All the factors exhibited positive correlations with the scale,with the correlation coefficient at 0.760 to 0.837(P<0.01).The scale demonstrated a Cronbach α coefficient of 0.943,and the Cronbach α coefficients of the five common factors ranged from 0.869 to 0.941.Additionally,the scale exhibited a split-half reliability of 0.840,and the split-half reliability of the five common factors ranged from 0.830 to 0.937.Conclusions The symptoms assessment scale for lung transplant recipients in early postoperative period developed in this study exhibits good reliability and validity.It is feasible for evaluation of early symptoms in lung transplant recipients.

Objective:To conduct a scoping review of the characteristics, functions, risk of bias and applications of home-based self-management behavior assessment tools for lung transplant patients, so as to provide references for clinical medical staff to conduct further related research.Methods:The relevant literatures were systematically searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to June 30, 2023. The scoping review method framework was used to screen the literature, extract information and standardize the report.Results:A total of 10 167 Chinese and English literatures were searched, and after deduplication and screening, 23 articles that met the criteria were finally included, involving 13 home-based self-management behavior assessment tools for lung transplant patients, including nine specific tools and four universal tools. There were eight kinds of lung transplantation patients whose reliability and validity were not verified. Of the 13 tools, those with single-dimensional assessments and single measures predominate. The level of home self-management behavior of lung transplant patients was reflected mainly through compliance, and medication management was the most frequently assessed content.Conclusions:At present, the measurement of home-based self-management behavior of lung transplant patients is mainly based on questionnaire surveys, and the evaluation tools are mostly single dimensional. The reliability and validity of most evaluation tools in the population of lung transplant patients are not yet clear, and there is a certain risk of bias. It is recommended that researchers pay attention to the reliability and validity verification report of the evaluation tool in the target population when selecting it, and integrate multiple measurement methods to reduce measurement errors.

Gonorrhea, caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, is one of the most frequently reported infectious diseases. With the increasing antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, gonorrhea has become a major public health problem worldwide, making it imperative to develop a safe and effective vaccine. Lipooligosaccharides (LOS), which exist on the outer surface of gram-negative bacteria, contain many important antigenic determinants. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that LOS may become the most potential target of Neisseria gonorrhoeae vaccine and immunotherapy. This article reviewed the structure of LOS, its role in Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, research progress in LOS vaccine and the challenges faced in vaccine development, aiming to provide reference for further study.

Objective To investigate the criteria of hemodynamic parameters for diagnosis of intracranial segment vertebral artery stenosis with transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS ). Methods A total of 622 outpatients or inpatients with suspected posterior circulation ischemia were enrolled retrospectively,from which 216 patients were selected with TCCS,color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI)screen,and digital subtraction angiography (DSA)examination,including 33 patients (15. 3%) had normal intracranial vertebral arteries,the stenosis rates<50% were 45 cases (20. 8%),50%-69%were 44 cases (20. 4%),and 70%-99% were 94 cases (43. 5%). The mean velocity (MV)of intracranial segment,the ratios SPRP (PSV1/PSV2 ),SPRE (EDV1/EDV2 )of the systolic and end diastolic flow velocity between the intracranial segment and the intervertebral space segment were calculated respectively by detecting the intracranial segment of vertebral artery,the intervertebral space segment peak systolic velocity (PSV1 ,PSV2 )and end diastolic velocity (EDV2 ,EDV1 ). The DSA findings were used as the criteria,the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC ) curve was calculated and the optimal cut-off points were obtained. Results The optimal cut-off points of TCCS diagnosis of intracranial vertebral artery stenosis were as follows:the parameter standards of stenosis rate <50% were 110 cm/s≤PSV1≤145 cm/s and 65 cm/s≤MV≤85 cm/s,the parameter standards of stenosis rate 50%-69%were 145 cm/s≤PSV1≤190 cm/s and 85 cm/s≤MV≤115 cm/s,and the parameter standards of stenosis rate 70%-99% were PSV1≥190 cm/s and MV≥115 cm/s. Conclusion TCCS may effectively evaluate the hemodynamic changes of intracranial vertebral artery stenosis and provide reference for the ultrasound evaluation criteria of intracranial vertebral artery stenosis.
