Research progress on the correlation between type 2 diabetes mellitus and sleep disorders / 公共卫生与预防医学

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease that is prevalent worldwide, and its relationship with sleep disorders has gradually attracted the attention in the field of medical research. Studies have identified a bidirectional relationship between T2DM and sleep disorders, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and insomnia. OSA can promote the development of T2DM through insufficient oxygenation and increased autonomic nervous system activity, but the specific molecular mechanisms are unclear. The bidirectional relationship between T2DM and sleep disorders increases the complexity of insomnia challenges in patients with T2DM. Therefore, in terms of treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to the management strategy of insomnia in patients with T2DM. Through in-depth research on the mechanism of sleep disorders and the development of effective intervention measures, it is expected to make greater progress in the prevention and treatment of T2DM.

Effects of anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies and desensitization on engraftment of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation / 陆军军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the effects of anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies(DSA)and desensitization for DSA+patients on engraftment of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(haplo-HSCT).Methods The patients who underwent haplo-HSCT and examinations for HLA antibodies and DSA in our department from March 2017 to July 2023 were recruited in this study.The effects of desensitization measure on engraftment in the DSA+patients after haplo-HSCT were analyzed.Results Among the 70 patients who underwent haplo-HSCT and test for HLA antibodies,15(21.4％)patients were DSA positive,including 7(46.7％)cases of strong positive,3(20.0％)cases of moderate positive,and 5(33.3％)cases of weak positive.The median duration for neutrophil implantation was significantly extended in the DSA+patients than the negative patients(P=0.027).For the 6 patients developed graft failure(GF),4 were DSA+which was statistically higher than the DSA-patients(P=0.025).Multivariate regression analysis showed that DSA was an independent factor affecting GF(HR=9.273,95％CI:1.505～57.124,P=0.016).Among the 10 patients(7 strong positive and 3 moderate positive DSA)received desensitization therapy,4 patients received combination desensitization,with a 100％rate of successful transplantation,and 6 received single desensitization,with 4(66.7％)experiencing GF,so the GF rate was obviously lower in the combination than the single desensitization(P=0.008).Conclusion In haplo-HSCT patients,DSA is an important factor leading to implantation delay and GF.While,single desensitization treatment has limited efficacy.In combined DSA desensitization therapy,the decrease of antibody titer should be dynamically monitored to ensure the successful implantation of stem cells and reduce GF rate.

Application of multiplanar reconstruction and 3D printing in anterior cruciate ligament revision / 中南大学学报(医学版)

Objective:Anterior cruciate ligament injury is the most common type of knee joint ligament injury.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has a high failure rate,with bone tunnel abnormalities as the most significant factor in these failures.Digital orthopedic technology can effectively develop implementation plans for the revision,thus increasing the success rate.This study aims to develop a surgical plan for anterior cruciate ligament revision by employing multiplanar reconstruction(MPR)for measuring bone tunnel position and diameter,and simulating bone tunnel creation via 3D printing preoperatively. Methods:A total of 12 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament revision at the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between 2014 and 2021 were retrospectively studied.The data included patient demographics,preoperative formulated knee joint 3D printing models,and preoperative knee CT scans.The study measured the bone tunnel's diameter and position to guide the establishment of revision bone tunnels during surgery,reassessed the postoperative bone tunnels,and evaluated knee joint functional scores[including International Knee Documentation Committee Knee Evaluation Form(IKDC)score,Lysholm score,and Tegner exercise level score]. Results:Preoperative measurements revealed suboptimal femoral tunnels positions in 4 patients and tibial tunnels positions in 2 patients.MPR and 3D printing technology were used to guide the establishment of a new bone canal during surgery,and postoperative measurements were satisfactory for all patients.Preoperative measurements demonstrated the interclass correlation coefficient for femoral tunnels and tibial tunnels diameters were 0.843(P<0.05)and 0.889(P<0.001),respectively.Meanwhile,the intraclass correlation coefficient were 0.811(P<0.05)and 0.784(P<0.05),respectively.The intraoperative diameter of femoral and tibial tunnels showed excellent correlation with postoperative CT measurements,with intraclass correlation coefficient values of 0.995(P<0.001)and 0.987(P<0.001),respectively.All bone tunnel positions were within the normal range.At the final follow-up,knee joint function scores in all 12 patients improved significantly compared to pre-surgery(P<0.001),and the reoperation rate was zero. Conclusion:MPR and 3D printing technology can accurately measure the parameters of reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament bone tunnels.Personalized revision plans for patients with reconstruction failure enhances the success rate of revision surgery and improves patient prognosis.

Transforming growth factor beta/Smad signaling pathway and targeted therapy of keloid scars / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:There are many studies focusing on keloid scars,but the pathogenesis is not fully understood.In recent years,there have been some new research advances in the pathogenesis of keloids,including transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)/Smad signaling pathway,ischemic hypoxia,hypoxia-inducible factor 1(HIF-1),and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)pathway.The TGF-β/Smad pathway is now more clearly studied,and activation of the TGF-β/Smad pathway promotes the development of keloid scars. OBJECTIVE:To review the TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway and evaluate the main therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway,with the aim of contributing to the development of more effective clinical treatments. METHODS:PubMed and Web of Science,CNKI and WanFang databases were searched by computer for relevant literature published from January 2017 to April 2023 with the search terms of"keloid,fibroblasts,TGF-β/Smad,extracellular matrix,collagen,treatment measures"in English and Chinese.Seventy-two articles were finally included according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mechanism of TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in the occurrence and development of keloids is summarized:TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 are overexpressed in keloids,while TGF-β3 shows antifibrotic effects.Smad2/3 and Smad1/5/8 are combined with Smad4 to form a complex that enters the nucleus and plays a fibrotic role,while Smad6/7 can inhibit keloid hyperplasia.The TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway is currently the most clearly studied pathway in keloids,and there are many pathways targeted to inhibit the activation of this pathway,which can inhibit the occurrence and development of keloids to a greater extent.Currently,there is no single clinical gold standard treatment for keloids,and inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad pathway alone cannot completely inhibit the development of keloids.A comprehensive consideration of the association between all systemic systems and keloids is needed.Although many promising targets have been identified in the fibrosis cascade,more research is needed to translate this into targeted therapies in the clinic.

The effectiveness of fluorescence labeling-based assay bundle intervention in the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organism infection / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To observe the effectiveness of fluorescence labeling-based assay bundle intervention in the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant organism(MDRO)infection.Methods Patients who were detected MDRO in a hospital from January to December 2022 were selected as the research subjects.MDRO monitoring data and implementation status of prevention and control measures were collected.Fluorescence labeling assay was adopted to monitor the cleaning and disinfection effectiveness of the surrounding object surface of the bed units.Based on the bundled prevention and control measures as well as management mode of the pre-intervention group,the post-intervention group implemented enhanced rectification measures for the problems found by the pre-interven-tion group.Changes in relevant indicators between January-June 2022(before intervention)and July-December 2022(after intervention)were compared.Results There were 136 MDRO-infected patients in the pre-intervention group,208 MDRO strains were detected and 10 healthcare-associated infection(HAI)occurred.There were 128 MDRO-infected patients in the post-intervention group,198 MDRO strains were detected and 9 HAI occurred.Af-ter intervention,the total detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA),carbapenem-re-sistant Acinetobacter baumannii(CRAB),and total MDRO from patients decreased significantly compared to before intervention(all P＜0.05).After intervention,the detection rates of MRSA,carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CRPA),CRAB,and total MDRO from the surrounding object surface were all lower than those before intervention(all P＜0.05).The detection rate of MDRO from surrounding object surface before intervention was 34.52％,which showed a decreased trend after intervention(P＜0.05).The clearance rate of fluorescent labeled markers before intervention was 41.84％,which showed an upward trend after implementing intervention measures(from July to December),and increased to 85.00％at the end of intervention(November-December).The comp-liance rates of issuing isolation medical orders,placing isolation labels,using medical supplies exclusively,and cor-rectly handling medical waste after intervention have all increased compared to before intervention(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Adopting fluorescence labeling-based assay bundle intervention can effectively improve the effectiveness of MDRO infection prevention and control.

The role of comprehensive intervention measures in improving the patho-gen detection rate of hospitalized patients before antimicrobial therapy / 中国感染控制杂志

Objective To understand the pathogen detection of hospitalized patients before antimicrobial therapy in a hospital through implementation of comprehensive intervention measures,and provide reference basis for the de-velopment of targeted measures.Methods Hospitalized patients who received therapeutic antimicrobial agents in this hospital were selected as the research subjects.Patients who were hospitalized from January to May 2022 were selected as the pre-intervention group,comprehensive intervention measures were taken from June to October 2022,and those who were hospitalized from November 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the post-intervention group.The pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial therapy,sterile specimen detection rate,antimicrobial use rate,de-tection rate of key multidrug-resistant organisms of patients before and after the intervention were analyzed.Results Compared to before intervention,the proportion of pathogen detection rate before antimicrobial therapy(62.09％vs 74.04％),detection rate of healthcare-associated infection diagnosis-related pathogens(62.82％vs 92.73％),and sterile specimen detection rate(35.17％vs 41.06％)of hospitalized patients after intervention all increased signifi-cantly,with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).After intervention,pathogen detection rate before the combination use of key antimicrobial agents was not statistically different from before intervention(93.33％vs 90.48％,P＞0.05),while antimicrobial use rate was lower than before intervention(39.93％vs 44.95％,P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the detection rate of key multidrug-resistant organisms be-fore and after intervention(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Adopting scientific and rational intervention measures can improve the pathogen detection rate,provide a reference basis for the rational use of antimicrobial agents.There was no significant improvement in the pathogen detection rate before the combination use of key antimicrobial agents and the detection rate of key multidrug-resistant organisms,indicating that relevant measures still need to be further optimized.

Conclusion:The Chinese version of SPM-P scale has good reliability and validity and can be used for stan-dardized evaluation of sensory integration ability of preschool children in China.

Phenotypic plasticity in adults of Anticarsia gemmatalis exposed to sub-doses of Bt-based bioinsecticide / Plasticidade fenotípica morfométrica em adultos de Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner, 1818 expostos a subdoses de Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner, 1911

Anticarsia gemmatalis Hünber, 1818 is one of the main defoliating species in the soybean crop. Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner, 1915, is a bacterium used in the biological control of this pest species. Resistant populations and their sublethal effects caused by the use of the bacteria have already been reported; however, there are no studies on phenotypic plasticity in adulthood exposed to Bt-based bioinsecticide sub-doses. This study aimed to evaluate the morphometry of A. gemmatalis adults under laboratory conditions submitted to the Bt-based bioinsecticide Dipel® over the three generations. The body segments mensuread were width, length, and area of the anterior and posterior wings, the weight of the integument, chest, abdomen, wings, and the whole adult of males and females. Among the treatments, LC5 in the first generation and LC10 in the second generation were those with lower thresholds in relation to the weight of the chest and abdomen, considering the proportions of the body smaller than the females. The female's weight adulthood was reduced by 10% about males, and, only in the first generation. Males have larger body size and more pronounced phenotypic plasticity than females. Here, we demonstrate the first study assessing the phenotypic plasticity of A. gemmatalis adults.

The Brazilian version of the High-Activity Arthroplasty Score: cross-cultural adaptation

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The High Activity Arthroplasty Score (HAAS) is a self-administered questionnaire, developed in British English, that reliably and validly measures the levels of sports activities in patients following hip and knee arthroplasty surgery. OBJECTIVE: To cross-culturally adapt the HAAS to Brazilian Portuguese language. DESIGN AND SETTING: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a public university hospital in Brazil. METHODS: The Brazilian version of the HAAS was created through a six-step process: translation, synthesis, committee review, pretesting, back-translation, and submission to developers. The translation step was conducted by two independent bilingual translators, both native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese. The back-translation was performed by an independent translator, a native speaker of British English. To ensure the questionnaire's comprehensibility, 46 volunteers (51% men; average age 34-63) participated in the pre-testing step. RESULTS: The cross-cultural adaptation process necessitated modifications to certain terms and expressions to achieve cultural equivalence with the original HAAS. CONCLUSION: The HAAS has been translated from English into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapted for Brazil. The validation process for HAAS-Brazil is currently underway.

Quality of acute coronary syndrome care and in hospital outcome in a resource-poor setting in Northern Ghana

Introduction: African countries are facing an epidemic of cardiovascular diseases. Information on the quality of acute coronary syndrome care offered in underserved communities in Ghana is limited. Using objective criteria, we examined the quality of acute coronary syndrome care offered to patients presenting to a tertiary referral center in Northern Ghana. Methods: we conducted a retrospective review of patients ≥ 18 years old with acute coronary syndrome managed in Tamale Teaching Hospital. We assessed in-hospital outcomes and the extent of compliance to key performance and quality indicators as contained in the 2017 American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guideline for adults with myocardial infarction. Results: sixty-two (62) patients with a mean age of 56.0 ± 16.1 years were recruited. The median delay to presentation was 24 hours (IQR 15-96 hours). 33.9% had ST-elevation myocardial infarction, of which only 14.3% received reperfusion therapy. About three-quarters of patients received dual antiplatelet therapy at discharge, with fewer patients receiving recommended high-intensity statin therapy (65.5%) or beta-blockers (69.1%). Only 38.2% of patients had their left ventricular ejection fraction documented. No cardiac rehabilitation program existed. Risk stratification of patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction or stress testing for conservatively managed patients was not part of routine practice. Conclusion: acute coronary syndrome management remains a challenging issue in Northern Ghana. Several gaps exist in the care quality, timeliness of interventions and rehabilitation of affected patients. There is an urgent need for measures to improve the delivery of acute coronary syndrome care alongside primary prevention strategies.

Patient Health Questionnaire-9: a clinimetric analysis

Objective: The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a widely used self-report measure of depression whose psychometric properties were found to be merely acceptable. Insufficient attention has been devoted to its clinimetric validity, while its clinical utility is still debated, particularly for assessing depression severity. This is the first study to test the PHQ-9 construct validity and clinical utility based on clinimetric principles. Methods: An online survey of 3,398 participants was conducted. Item response theory models (Rasch and Mokken analyses) were used to assess the PHQ-9 validity and determine its clinical utility. Results: Fit to the Rasch model was achieved after adjusting the sample size. Items 2, 4, 6, and 9 over-discriminated, while items 1, 5, and 7 under-discriminated. Local dependency between items 2 and 6 was indicated. The PHQ-9 was not unidimensional. A Loevinger's coefficient of 0.49 was found, indicating an acceptable level of scalability. Conclusion: The PHQ-9 is an instrument with potential clinical utility as an overall index of depression, mainly for screening purposes. Substantial revision, particularly in the wording of over- and under-discriminating items, is needed.

Incidence and impacts of pain in intensive care units: systematic review / Incidência e impactos da dor em unidades de terapia intensiva: revisão sistemática

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In Intensive Care Units (ICU), patients are exposed to multiple procedures that can be painful, and health professionals are not always aware of the pain in these patients. Inadequate pain assessment and management, in turn, has been associated with several adverse outcomes, including an increased rate of infection, prolonged mechanical ventilation, hemodynamic disturbances, delirium, and compromised immunity. Thus, this study aimed to summarize the scientific evidence about the incidence and impacts of pain in critically ill patients. CONTENTS: A systematic review of observational studies (Pubmed and EMBASE databases) was performed with predetermined eligibility criteria. In the 32 studies included, it was identified that 10.1% to 61% of patients had pain at rest and 27.4% to 94% during procedures. In addition, there was evidence of improvement in patient outcomes after using validated instruments for pain measurement, including decreased length of ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, mortality, delirium, adverse events, and disease severity. CONCLUSION: Through the present study, it was observed that pain is a common phenomenon in ICU and that its identification and management constitute a realistic goal and depend on the evaluation. Furthermore, pain appears to be associated with worse clinical outcomes. Therefore, efforts must be made to provide comprehensive care for critically ill patients, aiming not only at their survival, but also at alleviating their suffering.

RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Nas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) os pacientes são expostos a múltiplos procedimentos que podem ser dolorosos, e nem sempre os profissionais de saúde estão alertas para a dor nesses pacientes. A avaliação e o manejo inadequado da dor, por sua vez, têm sido associados a uma série de resultados adversos, incluindo aumento da taxa de infecção, ventilação mecânica prolongada, distúrbios hemodinâmicos, delírio e imunidade comprometida. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo sumarizar as evidências científicas acerca da incidência e dos impactos da dor em pacientes críticos. CONTEÚDO: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de estudos observacionais (bases de dados Pubmed e EMBASE) com critérios de elegibilidade predeterminados. Nos 32 estudos incluídos, foi identificado que de 10,1% a 61% dos pacientes apresentaram dor em repouso, e de 27,4% a 94% apresentaram dor durante os procedimentos. Além disso, houve evidências de melhora nos resultados dos pacientes após o uso de instrumentos validados para a mensuração da dor, incluindo diminuição do tempo de permanência na UTI, duração da ventilação mecânica, mortalidade, delírio, eventos adversos e gravidade da doença. CONCLUSÃO: Através do presente estudo foi observado que a dor representa um fenômeno comum nas UTI e que a sua identificação e manejo constitui uma meta realista e dependente da avaliação. Além disso, a dor parece estar associada a piores desfechos clínicos. Sendo assim, deve-se voltar esforços para o cuidado integral ao paciente crítico, objetivando não só sua sobrevivência, mas também o alívio do seu sofrimento.

Validez convergente y discriminante del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo en maestros mexicanos

Objetivo: explorar la validez convergente y discriminante del maslach burnout Inventory human services survey (MBI-HSS) y del Cuestionario para la Evaluación del Síndrome de Quemarse por el Trabajo (CESQT) en población mexicana. Método: Se evaluaron 483 profesores de 100 escuelas de educación básica (primarias y secundarias) de la Ciudad de México. Se utilizó el CESQT validado en México por Gil-Monte, Unda y Sandoval (2009) y el MBI-HSS validado en población mexicana por Placencia et al. (2013), ambos son escalas likert que presentaron una confiabilidad aceptable. En el análisis de datos se realizó una matriz multirasgo-multimétodo (MRMM), que es un enfoque desarrollado por Campbell y Fiske (1959) para analizar la validez convergente y divergente. Resultados: En la MRMM se presentaron correlaciones significativas, positivas y diferentes a cero entre los mismos rasgos medidos por diferente método, Ilusión por el trabajo y realización personal (r=0,40**) desgaste psíquico y cansancio emocional (r=0,87**), e Indolencia y Despersonalización (r=0,52**) lo cual supone validez convergente, además, se pueden observar que todas las Alfas de Cronbach son aceptables salvo la de Despersonalización (subescala del MBI). El MBI-HSS presenta recurrentemente Alfas de Cronbach inferiores a 70 % en la subescala de despersonalización, en especial en población no angloparlante. Conclusión: Conforme a los resultados del presente estudio y las dificultades psicométricas presentadas por el MBI-HSS, se concluye que el CESQT es el instrumento recomendado para la evaluación del Burnout en población mexicana.

Objective: to explore the convergent and discriminant validity of the maslach burnout inventory human services survey (MBI-HSS) and the Spanish Burnout Inventory (SBI) in Mexican population. Method: 483 teachers from 100 basic education schools (primary and secondary) were evaluated in Mexico City. The mexican validated SBI by Gil-Monte, Unda and Sandoval (2009) and MBI-HSS validated in Mexican population by Placencia et al. (2013) were implemented, both are Likert scales that showed acceptable reliability. In the data analysis, a Multi-treat-Multi-method matrix (MTMM) was performed, which is an approach developed by Campbell and Fiske (1959) to analyze convergent and divergent validity. Results: MTMM showed significant positive and non-zero correlations between the same traits measured by different method, enthusiasm toward the job and personal accomplishment (r = 0,40 **) psychic exhaustion and emotional exhaustion (r = 0,87 **), and indolence and depersonalization (r = 0,52 **) which supposes convergent validity, in addition, it can be observed that all cronbach's alphas are acceptable except for depersonalization (subscale of MBI). The MBI-HSS recurrently presents cronbach's alphas lower than 0,70 on the depersonalization subscale, especially in non-English-speaking population. Conclusion: According to the results of this study and the psychometric difficulties presented by the MBI-HSS, the SBI is the recommended instrument for the evaluation of Burnout in the Mexican population.

Heterogeneity of Outcomes Reporting in Trials Evaluating Traditional Chinese Medicine Breast Massage for Stasis Acute Mastitis: A Methodological Review / 中国医学科学杂志(英文版)

Objective To systematically analyze the current status of outcomes reporting in clinical trials on treating stasis acute mastitis with Traditional Chinese Medicine breast massage.Methods We searched CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane library, JBI, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Clinical Trials Registry Platform portal, Clinical Trials Registry, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, Center Watch Registry from inception to May 15, 2022 to find randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, case series and cohort studies which reported the outcomes of stasis acute mastitis managed with Traditional Chinese Medicine breast massage, with search terms of mastitis, acute mastitis, lactation mastitis, puerperal mastitis, breast problem, breast engorgement, milk stasis, blocked ducked, breast pain, breast massage, and acupoint massage. Outcomes and the measurement schemes (measurement methods, timing of assessing outcome, frequency of assessing outcome, measurers) were extracted from the included studies. We used the Management of Otitis Media with Effusion in Children with Cleft Palate (MOMENT) to assess the quality of each study, then categorized outcomes derived from the included studies into different domains according to the Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Arthritis Clinic Trials (OMERACT) Filter 2.1 framework.Results We identified 85 clinical trials, in which 54 different outcomes were reported. A total of 81.2% (69/85) of studies were assessed as medium quality with a mean score of 2.6, and 18.8% (16/85) as low quality with a mean score of 0.9. These outcomes were organized in three core areas. Lump size (89.4%, 76/85) was the most frequently reported outcome, followed by breast pain (69.4%, 59/85) and milk excretion (68.2%, 58/85). Five methods were used to assess lump size and four methods to assess breast pain.Conclusions The outcomes reported in clinical trials regarding stasis acute mastitis treated by Traditional Chinese Medicine breast massage are heterogeneous. Developing a core outcome set to achieve consistent standards for reporting outcomes and modalities for validation of the outcomes is clearly warranted.

Monitoring of Inpatient Rehabilitation in Child and Parent Pairs with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure / The Japanese Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine

Objective：Our institute provides inpatient intensive rehabilitation to severely disabled children and their parents. Rehabilitation aims are patient-specific, thus using individual scales to evaluate rehabilitation is essential. Here, we adopted the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to perform this evaluation in thirty-one cases.Methods：For the COPM, patients set goals in five subjects, and evaluates their performance levels and satisfaction levels on a scale of 1-10, before and after rehabilitation, and the mean scores are compared.Results：The COPM scores were significantly elevated in all cases at discharge. Patient had an average increase of 3.9 points for both performance and satisfaction scores. The scores of children with medical complexity tended to exceed those who did not require complex medical care. We identified a correlation between satisfaction and performance scores.Conclusion：We quantitatively measured the development of patients to measure the effectiveness of our intervention for two months using the COPM, which cannot be clarified by other objective evaluation tools for gross motor skills, functional independence, etc.. Although satisfaction scores are subjective, herein, their validity was shown by the correlation to the performance scores. Overall, COPM can contribute to top-down approaches to rehabilitation.

Research progress in predicting the difficulty of surgery for middle and low rectal cancer based on pelvic measurement / 中华消化外科杂志

Total mesorectal excision (TME) has become the basic principle of surgical treat-ment for middle and low rectal cancer. Some of patients with ultra-low rectal cancer require under-going intersphincteric resection (ISR). Due to the limitation of the narrow pelvis, TME and ISR put forward higher requirements for the precise separation of the anatomical level and the protection of neurological function during the operation. At present, evaluation of the difficulty of surgery for middle and low rectal cancer is mainly based on the subjective judgment of chief surgeon, and there is no unified and objective scoring system or prediction model that can classify the difficulty of surgery for middle and low rectal cancer before surgery.

Factors Associated with Anxiety and its Self-Care Measures among Nursing Students During the Covid-19 Pandemic

@#Introduction: One of the rising mental health issues among university students during the COVID-19 pandemic is anxiety. As future healthcare front-liners, nursing students are expected to perform good self-care to deliver quality care to patients. The purpose of the present study is to examine the factors associated with anxiety and its’ self-care measures among nursing students. Methods: The study recruited over 200 students in the East Coast region of Malaysia and the online survey was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic between December 2020 and January 2021. The questions were in 3 parts: Socio-demographic, Self-care assessment worksheet (SCAW), and Burns Anxiety Inventory. Descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and multiple linear regression were used to answer the research aim. Results: The range of anxiety levels among the nursing students was from no anxiety (7.5%) to severe anxiety or panic (28.9%, 17.9%). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed two predictors associated with higher level of anxiety were the first-year nursing students (bb =10.90, CI=4.49, 17.30), and respondents who stated having fairly satisfied with the nursing program (bb =13.50, CI=5.10, 21.90). Among the self-care components, result revealed that higher levels of physical care throughout the semester predicted lower anxiety (bb =-0.85, CI=-1.328, -0.372, p<0.05). Conclusion: The study’s overall finding is that nursing students’ participation in self-care, particularly physical care, may help to lessen anxiety. Our findings are significant because self-care can complement psychiatric interventions for people with high levels of anxiety and is a significant contributor to mental well-being.

Application of Canadian Occupational Performance Measure combined with activity analysis in clients with hand injuries / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo explore the occupational needs of hand injury patients and the effects of activity-based analysis and occupation-based interventions. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to June, 2022, 212 patients who accepted occupational therapy for wrist-hand injury in Rehabilitation Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were interviewed using Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to collect the activities that they wanted to do, needed to do, were expected to do, but unable to do. Two senior occupational therapists conducted the activity analysis of the summarized needs, identified occupational components, designed a purposeful occupation-based intervention program, and evaluated the performance and satisfaction using COPM. ResultsA cumulative total of 84 occupational needs were proposed, covering five major domains: work, basic activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, leisure and sleep. The activities mostly impaired involved using computer (8.28%), using chopsticks (6.42%), wringing towels (6.25%), travelling on transport (4.90%) and lifting heavy objects (4.73%). The performance and satisfaction improved after treatment (t > 16.572, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe occupational needs are culturally specific for local hand injury patients; the use of an activity-based analysis and occupation-based intervention is effective on meeting the occupational needs.
