Comparative analysis of Aedes albopictus surveillance index in Yangpu District， Shanghai / 上海预防医学

ObjectiveTo analyze the interannual fluctuation， seasonal fluctuation， habitat distribution and the correlation of the 3 monitoring indicators of Aedes albopictus in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2017 to 2021， and to provide a scientific basis for A. albopictus control and rational use of the indicators. MethodsThe density surveillance data of A. albopictus recorded by Breteau index （BI）， Path index （PI） and the mosquito ovitrap index （MOI） from 2017 to 2021 in Yangpu District， Shanghai were compared. Microsoft Excel 2019 software was used for data summary and SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2021， there were two months with BI>5， and the PI were all above the density control level of Class C， and there were nine months with MOI≥5. In 2017， BI was higher than in the other four years， with statistically significant differences （all P≤0.001）. MOI in 2017 and 2020 was higher than in 2019 （P=0.029， P=0.004） and 2021 （P=0.005， P=0.001）， with statistical significance. MOI for different types of habitats varied significantly， with a statistically significant difference （P=0.004）. A linear correlation was observed between BI and PI （r=0.462， P=0.010）. ConclusionBI， PI and MOI are used simultaneously to reflect the density of A. albopictus in Yangpu District of Shanghai. However， these three monitoring indicators show poor linear correlation. Comprehensively considering the scientific aspects of monitoring methods and seasonal fluctuations of indicators， it is suggested that MOI should be used as the main index to evaluate the density of A. albopictus. In the MOI， attention should be paid to factors such as the distribution of the habitats， the standardization of operating methods， and quality control， which are essential for enhancing the reliability of the MOI.

Therapeutic effect of Xiayuxue decoction on a mouse model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease induced by high-fat diet and its mechanism / 临床肝胆病杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of Xiayuxue decoction in inhibiting nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） induced by high-fat diet in mice by regulating nucleotide binding oligomerization domain like receptor containing pyrin domain protein 6 （NLRP6）. MethodsA total of 15 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into low-fat diet （LFD） group， high-fat diet （HFD） group， and Xiayuxue decoction-HFD group （XYXD group）， with 5 mice in each group. Liver function parameters （alanine aminotransferase ［ALT］ and aspartate aminotransferase ［AST］） and blood lipid metabolic indicators （triglycerides ［TG］ and total cholesterol ［TC］） were measured； HE staining and oil red O staining were performed for liver tissue to observe histomorpholoty and lipid droplet deposition； quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression levels of inflammatory factors （tumor necrosis factor-α ［TNF-α］， interleukin-1β ［IL-1β］， interleukin-18 ［IL-18］， and NLRP6） in liver tissue； Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of NLRP6， nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB）， and NF-κB p65； immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of NLRP6 and CD68. Mouse Raw264.7 cells were treated with palmitic acid （PA）， lipopolysaccharide， and serum containing Xiayuxue decoction to observe inflammation. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the LFD group， the HFD group had significant increases in the serum levels of ALT， AST， TC， and TG （all P<0.05）. Liver histopathological examination showed that the HFD group had marked hepatic steatosis and a signficant increase in NAS score （P<0.05）， and quantitative real-time PCR showed significant increases in the inflammatory factors such as IL1β and IL-18 and a significant reduction in the expression of NLRP6 （all P<0.05）. Immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of NLRP6 showed a similar trend as that of the macrophage marker CD68. Western blot showed that after the downregulation of NLRP6 expression， there was a significant increase in phosphorylated NF-κB p65 （P<0.05）. Compared with the HFD group， Xiayuxue decoction effectively improved liver inflammation， upregulated the expression of NLRP6， and downregulated phosphorylated NF-κB p65 in HFD mice （all P<0.05）. After Raw264.7 cells were treated with PA， NLRP6 was downregulated to promote the progression of inflammation （P<0.05）， and treatment with Xiayuxue decoction could upregulate NLRP6 and inhibit inflammation NF-κB （P<0.05）. ConclusionXiayuxue decoction can effectively improve hepatic steatosis and liver inflammation in a mouse model of NAFLD， possibly by regulating NLRP6/NF-κB to alleviate macrophage activation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the interventional effects of Shugan Jianpi Yangxin prescription on the expression of orexin-A （OXA）， orexin-1 receptor （OX1R）， and orexin-2 receptor （OX2R） in the mouse model of insomnia. MethodThe mouse model of insomnia was established by intraperitoneal injection of DL-4-chlorophenylalanine （PCPA）. Fifty BALB/c mice were randomized into a blank group， a model group， an eszopiclone （0.13 mg·kg-1） group， and low- and high-dose （8.4 and 33.6 g·kg-1， respectively） Shugan Jianpi Yangxin prescription groups and treated with the corresponding drugs for 14 consecutive days. The weight changes of mice were monitored， and Morris water maze and pentobarbital-induced sleep tests were conducted. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was employed to examine the expression of OXA in the hypothalamus. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure the levels of OXA and 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） in the hypothalamus， serum， and spleen. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was employed to determine the mRNA levels of OXA， OX1R， and OX2R in the hypothalamus. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group had decreased body weight （P<0.01）， increased escape latency （P<0.01）， increased sleep latency （P<0.01）， shortened sleep duration （P<0.01）， elevated OXA level and lowered 5-HT level in the hypothalamus， serum， and spleen （P<0.05）， and up-regulated mRNA levels of OXA， OX1R， and OX2R in the hypothalamus （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the low- and high-dose groups of Shugan Jianpi Yangxin prescription showed increased body weight （P<0.05， P<0.01）， shortened escape latency （P<0.05）， shortened sleep latency and prolonged sleep duration （P<0.01）， and lowered OXA level and elevated 5-HT level in the hypothalamus， serum， and spleen （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， the two doses of Shugan Jianpi Yangxin prescription down-regulated the mRNA levels of OXA， OX1R， and OX2R in the hypothalamus （P<0.01）. ConclusionShugan Jianpi Yangxin prescription exerts sedative and hypnotic effects in mice by increasing the content of 5-HT in the brain and inhibiting the expression of OXA and its receptors in the hypothalamus.

Effect of core muscles training based on spinal fine-tuning manipulation on lumbar spine function and quality of life in patients with lumbar facet joint disorders / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of core muscles training based on spinal fine-tuning manipulation on lumbar facet joint disorders. MethodsFrom February, 2021 to February, 2022, 80 patients with lumbar facet joint disorders in Huadong Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were randomly divided into control group (n = 40) and observation group (n = 40) randomly. Both groups received routine treatment and spinal fine-tuning manipulation, while the observation group received core muscles training in addition, for six weeks. They were assessed with Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores, Short-Form of McGill Pain Questionnaire and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF before and after treatment. The recurrence rate was observed after three months follow-up. ResultsThe scores of all the scales improved after treatment (t > 5.751, P < 0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t > 2.051, P < 0.05). After three months follow-up, the recurrence rate was 7.89% (3/38) in the observation group, less than 28.13% (9/32) in the control group (χ2 = 5.005, P = 0.025). ConclusionCombination of core muscles training may improve lumbar function, reduce lumbar pain, reduce recurrence and improve quality of life for patients with lumbar facet joint disorders.

Long-term auditory monitoring in children with Alport syndrome based on different degrees of renal injury / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

Objective:To investigate long-term auditory changes and characteristics of Alport syndrome（AS） patients with different degrees of renal injury. Methods:Retrospectively analyzing clinical data of patients diagnosed AS from January 2007 to September 2022, including renal pathology, genetic detection and hearing examination. A long-term follow-up focusing on hearing and renal function was conducted. Results:This study included 70 AS patients, of which 33（25 males, 8 females, aged 3.4-27.8 years） were followed up, resulting in a loss rate of 52.9%.The follow-up period ranged from 1.1to 15.8 years, with 16 patients followed-up for over 10 years. During the follow-up, 10 patients presenting with hearing abnormalities at the time of diagnosis of AS had progressive hearing loss, and 3 patients with new hearing abnormalities were followed up, which appeared at 5-6 years of disease course. All of which were sensorineural deafness. While only 3 patients with hearing abnormalities among 13 patients received hearing aid intervention. Of these patients,7 developed end-stage renal disease（ESRD）, predominantly males （6/7）. The rate of long-term hearing loss was significantly different between ESRD group and non-ESRD group（P=0.013）. There was no correlation between the progression of renal disease and long-term hearing level（P>0.05）. kidney biopsies from 28 patients revealed varying degrees of podocyte lesion and uneven thickness of basement membrane. The severity of podocyte lesion was correlated with the rate of long-term hearing loss（P=0.048）, and there was no correlation with the severity of hearing loss（P>0.05）. Among 11 cases, theCOL4A5mutationwas most common （8 out of 11）, but there was no significant correlation between the mutation type and hearing phenotype（P>0.05）. Conclusion:AS patients exhibit progressive hearing loss with significant heterogeneity over the long-term.. THearing loss is more likely to occur 5-6 years into the disease course. Hearing abnormalities are closely related to renal disease status, kidney tissue pathology, and gene mutations, emphasizing the need for vigilant long-term hearing follow-up and early intervention.

Outcome indicators in clinical trials on traditional Chinese medicine treatment of microvascular angina / 中国中药杂志

This study reviewed the current status of the use of outcome indicators in randomized controlled trial(RCT) on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) treatment of microvascular angina(MVA) and analyzed the existing problems and possible solutions, aiming to provide a basis for the design of high-quality RCT and the establishment of core outcome sets for MVA. CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and 2 clinical trial registries were searched for the RCT on TCM treatment of MVA according to pre-defined criteria. The Cochrane's risk of bias assessment tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included RCT and the use of outcome indicators was summarized. A total of 69 RCTs were included, from which 100 outcome indicators were extracted, with the frequency of 430. The extracted outcome indicators belonged to 8 domains: response rate, symptoms and signs, physical and chemical examinations, TCM efficacy, safety, quality of life, economic evaluation, and long-term prognosis. The indicators of physical and chemical examinations were the most(70 indicators with the frequency of 211), followed by those of response rate(7 indicators with the frequency of 73) and symptoms and signs(7 indicators with the frequency of 54). The outcome indicators with higher frequency were adverse reactions, angina attack frequency, clinical efficacy, endothelin-1, total duration of treadmill exercise, and hypersensitive C-reactive protein. The RCT on TCM treatment of MVA had the following problems: irregular reporting of adverse reactions, diverse indicators with low frequency, lack of attention to the application of endpoint indicators, insufficient use of TCM differentiation and efficacy indicators, non-standard evaluation criteria and failure to reflect the basic characteristics of TCM. A unified MVA syndrome differentiation standard should be established, on the basis of which an MVA treatment efficacy evaluation system and core outcome indicator set that highlights the characteristics of TCM with patient-reported outcomes as the starting point should be established to improve the clinical research and research value.

Research progress of mtDNA in acute respiratory distress syndrome / 中华危重病急救医学

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of death in critically ill patients. At present, the pathogenesis of ARDS has not been clarified, which is mainly related to excessive inflammatory response, increased endothelial and epithelial permeability, and decreased alveolar surfactant. In recent years, many studies have shown that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is involved in the occurrence and development of ARDS by inducing inflammation and activating immune response, and has the potential to be used as biomarkers for ARDS. This article reviews the role of mtDNA in the pathogenesis of ARDS, aiming to provide new strategies for the treatment of ARDS, and ultimately reduce the mortality of ARDS patients.

CEP33779 ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis associated with rheumatoid arthritis via the cross-talk between JAK2 and TGF-β 1 signaling pathway / 中华风湿病学杂志

Objective:Rat model of RA complicated with pulmonary fibrosis were constructed to observe the degree of improvement of pulmonary fibrosis in RA rats by JAK2 inhibitor CEP33779 and the possible mechanisms.Methods:①The RA models were constructed by subcutaneous injection of 0.2 ml (1 mg/ml) of bovine type Ⅱ collagen into the tail of the rats on the day of modeling development (d0); intratracheal injection of 100 μl bleomycin (2.5 mg/kg) was used to induce pulmonary fibrosis model at d13. In vivo study: model rats were randomly divided into the normal group, pulmonary fibrosis group, pulmonary fibrosis CEP treatment group, RA complicated with pulmonary fibrosis group, and RA complicated pulmonary fibrosis CEP treatment group. Rats in the treatment group was given CEP (10 ml/kg) qd by gavage from d14 to week 4. The right hind foot of the rats was measured for joints swelling and the arthritis index score were measured, lung compliance (Cst) and lung specific gravity were measured. In addition, the pathological changes of the left lung were observed by HE and Masson staining, and the extracellular matrix level of the right lung was measured by protein immunoblotting (WB). ② In vitro study: TGF-β 1 (10 ng/ml) was applied to stimulate human embryonic lung fibroblasts (HFL1) for 24 h and 48h, and p-JAK2 expression was detected by immunofluorescence. After HFL1 inoculation of culture plates, the control group, TGF-β 1 stimulation group, TGF-β 1+ LY2109761 (TGFβ-R1/2 inhibitor group, 0.5 mmol/L and 2 mmol/L) group, TGF-β 1+CEP (0.1 mmol/L and 1.0 mmol/L) group were co-incubated for 48 h, and the expression levels of TGFβ-R2, α-SMA, JAK2, and Col 1 were measured by WB. Comparisons between multiple groups were made by Tukey′s test, and comparisons between the two groups were analyzed by independent t-test. Results:① In vivo study, compared with the control group (1.45±0.04), joint swelling was increased at d13 [(2.54±0.16) in RA+PF+Vehicle group, t=16.02, P<0.001], and the mean arthritis index score and toe volume were decreased 3 days after CEP treatment(d16) [(2.89±0.11), t=5.78, P<0.001; (1.92±0.13), t=6.85, P<0.001]. For rats with pulmonary fibrosis, all had different degrees of lung enlargement, increased lung specific gravity, decreased Cst, and increased lung inflammation and fibrosis[(0.96±0.06), t=19.76, P<0.001; (0.26±0.09), t=17.64, P<0.001; (3.63±1.51), t=6.00, P<0.001; (1.75±0.71), t=5.84, P<0.001]. After CEP gavage, rats that had RA complicated with pulmonary fibrosis had reduced lung swelling, decreased lung specific gravity, increased Cst [(0.82±0.05), t=5.76, P<0.001; (0.43±0.18), t=2.31, P=0.038], and the scores of pulmonary fibrosis and inflammation [(3.00±1.00); (1.56±0.52)] all showed a trend of decrease, but did not reach statistical difference CEP inhibited the expression of TGF-β 1, TGFβ-R2, α-SMA, Fn and JAK2 in lung tissue of pulmonary fibrosis rats, and the differences among the five groups were statistically significant ( F=9.02, P=0.017; F=4.86, P=0.048; F=6.57, P=0.032; F=11.26, P=0.010; F=13.32, P=0.007). ② In vitro study, TGF-β 1 stimulated HFL1 showed stronger phosphorylated JAK2 (p-JAK2) fluorescent signal WB showed a significant increase in the expression of TGFβ-R2, α-SMA, JAK2 and Col1, and after LY and CEP intervention, the above proteins were reduced in a concentration-dependent manner, with statistically significant differences among all five groups ( F=337.30, P<0.001; F=20.61, P<0.001; F=100.60, P<0.001; F=180.90, P<0.001). Conclusion:JAK2 inhibitors can ameliorate RA-related pulmonary fibrosis, and the mechanism may be through interfering with the "crosstalk" between JAK2 and TGF-β 1 signaling pathway.

Evaluation of measuring vomer-palate diameters at 11-13 + 6 weeks of gestation and its diagnostic value for cleft lip and palate / 中华超声影像学杂志

Objective:To investigate the reference range of the length and thickness of the fetal vomer-palate diameters at 11-13 + 6 weeks, and their role in the diagnosis of cleft lip and palate(CLP). Methods:From May 2020 to August 2021, 1 559 pregnant women who underwent ultrasound examination at 11-13 + 6 weeks in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital were selected, and the fetal vomer-palate in the median sagittal plane of the face was observed. The length and thickness diameters of the fetal were measured separately to establish the reference value range of normal fetal.The reference range was compared with the vomer-palate data of fetuses with confirmed CLP. Results:The 1 518 normal fetuses were divided into 11-13 + 6 weeks, 12-12 + 6 weeks and 13-13 + 6 weeks. The reference values of the long diameter of fetal vomer-palatine were 4.3-5.9 mm, 5.0-6.8 mm, 5.4-7.7 mm, and the reference values of the thick diameter were 2.0-2.9 mm, 2.2-3.4 mm, and 2.5-3.8 mm, respectively. The length and thickness of the fetal vomer-palatine were significantly positively correlated with the Crown-rump length ( rs=0.733, 0.634; all P<0.001). In the 1 559 fetals, 25 cases were diagnosed and confirmed with CLP, and the vomer-palate thickness diameters were smaller than the reference values in all cases, meanwhile, the vomer-palate length diameters of 22(88.0)% cases were smaller than the reference values. Conclusions:The reference range of fetal vomer-palate length and thickness at 11-13 + 6 weeks of gestation is valuable for the screening of fetal CLP.

A calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate for foot and ankle osteomyelitis / 中华创伤骨科杂志

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate (artificial bone or mixed iliac bone graft) in the treatment of foot and ankle osteomyelitis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 11 cases of foot and ankle osteomyelitis which had been treated at Department of Hand and Microsurgery, The Third Hospital of Baoji from October 2018 to October 2021. There were 8 males and 3 females, aged (42.3±23.7) years. The chronic hypotoxic osteomyelitis was repaired and reconstructed after thorough debridement at one stage with a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone to fill the cavity and cover the wound. The acute infected trauma was repaired and reconstructed after thorough debridement at the second stage with a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone to fill the cavity and cover the wound only after the acute infection was controlled by local dressing, drainage or negative pressure therapy and systemic anti-infection treatment at the primary stage. The flap size ranged from 3.5 cm × 2.0 cm to 12.0 cm × 6.0 cm. Four cases were treated by a peroneal artery perforator flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone, 3 cases by a flap with peroneal artery perforator and peroneal nerve trophic vessel combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone, 3 cases by a posterior tibial artery perforator flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone, and one by a peroneus longus muscle flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone. Postoperatively, the flap survival, bone union time, ankle function and complications were observed; the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by comparing infection control indexes at the final follow-up [clinical manifestations like local redness, swelling, pain, ulceration, and exudation, and white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and calcitoninogen (PCT)].Results:All the flaps survived except for one which developed necrosis at the distal 1/3 of the flap but responded to dressing change. All the patients were followed up for (22.6±11.5) months. The 6-month follow-up revealed that all the flaps were fine in shape and texture. Re-examinations showed that WBC, CRP, ESR and PCT were normal or close to normal, the local skin was free of redness, swelling or ulceration, and protective sensation was restored to varying degrees. X-ray at (12.1±2.3) months showed that lesions disappeared, bony union was achieved, the ankle joint regained basic flexion and extension, and the affected limb also regained weight-bearing and walking functions in all the patients but one whose X-ray at 18 months showed poor bony union but no other symptoms or signs.Conclusion:In the treatment of foot and ankle osteomyelitis, a calf tissue flap combined with antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate artificial bone can promote bone healing and restore the function of the foot and ankle because it not only fills the cavity and covers the wound but also effectively controls the infection.

The role of antibiotics in the treatment of Crohn′s disease / 中国医师杂志

Crohn′s disease (CD) is a chronic, progressive and destructive inflammatory disease affecting the entire digestive tract. Changes in the intestinal microbiota, particularly a decrease in gut microbiome diversity, are thought to be associated with chronic intestinal inflammation of CD. As for the mechanism of antibiotics in CD treatment, some scholars believe that antibiotics can affect the course of disease by reducing the concentration of intestinal bacteria and changing the composition of intestinal microbiota. Different antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and rifaximin, have been proved to have certain therapeutic effect on some patients with CD in clinical practice, but there are still limitations in the use of antibiotics.In this review, the relationship between intestinal flora and the incidence of CD and the application of antibiotics in CD were reviewed, providing reference and help for the standardized application of antibiotics in CD.

Effects of paliperidone palmitate long-acting injection on clinical symptoms and social function in patients with schizophrenia in communities / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective:To understand the effects of paliperidone palmitate (PP) long-acting injection on hospitalization, psychiatric symptoms, individual and social function of community patients with schizophrenia.Methods:From March 2021 to September 2022, 239 patients with schizophrenia in the community of Zhongshan city were treated with PP injection in a 1-month dosage form for 1 year.The hospitalization rate was compared before and after the treatment.The brief psychiatric rating scale (BPRS), modified overt aggression scales(MOAS), clinical global impressions-severity(CGI-S), and personal and social performance scale (PSP) were used to evaluate psychiatric symptoms and personal social function at baseline, at the end of the 8th week, the end of the 6th month and the end of the 12th month after treatment.Repeated measurement analysis of variance was used to compare the results at different times of treatment, and Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting treatment by SPSS 26.0.Results:One year after treatment the number of hospitalization was lower than that before (0(1) times, 0(0) times)( Z=-4.43, P<0.01), and the hospitalization days was lower than before (43(83.3) days, 0(0) days)( Z=-8.65, P<0.01) for the schizophrenic patients.The total BPRS score for schizophrenic patients decreased from (45.3±9.2) to (27.5±9.0) after 1 year of treatment( χ2=465.20, P<0.01), and the external aggressive behavior score was lower than the baseline score (1(7), 0(0))( F=308.36, P<0.01). The total effective rates were 30.5%(73/239), 77.4%(185/239) and 81.6%(195/239) after 8 weeks, 6 months and 1 year of treatment, respectively.The impairment in the four aspects of personal and social functioning were improved to varying degrees (all P<0.01). The severity of the disease was reduced 1 year after treatment.And the proportions of partial to very severe, moderate, none or mild were 10.0%(24/239), 56.5%(135/239), and 33.5%(80/239). Ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that younger age at treatment ( β=-0.08, OR=0.93, 95% CI=0.87-0.99) and older age at first onset ( β=0.07, OR=1.07, 95% CI=1.01-1.14) were associated with better treatment outcomes. Conclusion:Long-term injection of paliperidone palmitate can effectively improve the mental symptoms and individual social function of community patients with schizophrenia.

Outcomes and post-discharge follow-up of neonatal tracheotomy in NICU / 中国小儿急救医学

Objective:To study the outcomes and post-discharge follow-up of neonatal tracheotomy in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU).Methods:This study included patients who were admitted to NICU in Beijing Children′s Hospital from January, 2016 to August, 2021, and less than 28 days or 44 weeks(corrected age)on admission, and required tracheotomy.The patients were divided into tracheotomy group and the non-tracheotomy group (the parents signed to refuse the tracheotomy) according to whether perform tracheotomy.Demographic data, general hospitalization information, diagnosis, indications for tracheotomy, follow-up outcomes at 3/6/12 months of age after discharge of patients were collected and analyzed.Results:Totally 26 patients were included in this study, 14 cases in tracheotomy group and 12 cases in non-tracheotomy group.The average gestational age was(37.7±3.80)weeks and(38.99±1.83)weeks, and birth weight was(2 823.57±948.89)g and (3 320.83±378.76)g, respectively.There were no significant differences in sex, gestational age, birth weight, age on admission, weight on admission, age at diagnosis, ratio of endotracheal intubation for respiratory support on admission between two groups( P>0.05). The commonest indications of tracheotomy group were bilateral vocal cord paralysis(50.0%) and congenital anomaly/defect of throat/larynx(21.4%), and the commonest indications of non-tracheotomy group were bilateral vocal cord paralysis(50.0%) and vocal cord/subglottic mass(25.0%), and there was no significant difference between two groups( P>0.05). The rate of discharge-against-medical order of tracheotomy and non-tracheotomy group was 7.14% and 66.67%( P=0.003), respectively.The total follow-up rate of tracheotomy and non-tracheotomy group was 88.9% and 38.9%, while the follow-up rates at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 100.0% vs. 50.0%, 83.3% vs. 41.7%, and 81.8% vs. 25.0%, respectively, whose differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05). In the 14 cases of tracheotomy group, 3 cases died, 4 cases successfully removed the tracheal cannula, 5 cases did not remove the tracheal cannula, and 2 cases were lost. Conclusion:Bilateral vocal cord paralysis is the commonest indication of neonatal tracheotomy.Parents′ compliance in the tracheotomy group is significantly higher than that in non-tracheotomy group.To give caring skill training for parents of neonates with tracheotomy before discharge is beneficial for improving the overall prognosis of children.

Construction of training program system for hospice care volunteers / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective:To construct the training program system for hospice care volunteers and provide reference for the training of hospice care volunteers in China.Methods:The training program system for hospice care volunteers was initially determined by using the method of literature analysis and investigation, and 16 experts were consulted by two rounds of letters using the method of expert inquiry from May to July 2022, and finally the training program system was established.Results:The effective recovery rate of the two rounds of expert consultation questionnaire was 100%, the expert authority coefficient was 0.88, and the Kendall coordination coefficient was 0.141, 0.131 (both P<0.05). The final training program system for hospice care volunteers contained 7 first-class indicators including training objectives, training objects, training contents, training methods, training hours, training resources and training evaluation, 27 second-class indicators and 92 third-class indicators. Conclusions:The training program system for hospice care volunteers constructed in this study has high reliability and scientificity, and has a good guiding role and reference value for the training of hospice care volunteers.

Overview of systematic review on TCM for functional dyspepsia / 国际中医中药杂志

Objective:To re-evaluate the reliability of the conclusions of the systematic reviews (SR)/meta-analysis (MA) of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the treatment of functional dyspepsia (FD).Methods:CNKI, CBM, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase were searched from the establishment of the database to March 30, 2022. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data, and included SRs/MAs in the treatment of FD with TCM. The AMSTAR 2 and GRADE tools were used to evaluate the included the study carried out methodological quality evaluation, outcome evidence quality grading, and descriptive analysis of the main outcome.Results:A total of 28 SRs/MAs were included, with 34 outcome indicators. According to the AMSTAR 2 evaluation results, 21 SRs/MAs were of medium quality, and 7 SRs/MAs were of low quality. The GRADE quality of evidence grading results showed that of the 100 evidence bodies, 13 were of high quality, 58 were of moderate quality, 24 were of low quality, and 5 were of very low quality.Conclusion:TCM in the treatment of FD can improve the clinical efficiency, improve the cure rate, reduce the recurrence rate, and improve the clinical symptoms, but the methodological quality and evidence quality of related SRs/MAs have certain defects, so this conclusion should be treated with caution.
