In the context of the burgeoning development of day surgery, the shortened hospital stay has led to a relative reduction in the professional care that patients receive. As a result, more stringent requirements for nursing quality management have emerged. Scientific and objective sensitive indicators can provide quantitative standards for monitoring and evaluating nursing quality. This article comprehensively reviews the definition, classification, construction steps, and methods of nursing quality sensitive indicators. Additionally, it delves into the current status of the construction and application of such indicators for day surgery both at home and abroad. Those insights can offer a scientific foundation for the management of nursing quality in day surgery settings.
目的:了解正常妊娠妇女血清中常用肝功能指标测定结果及变化。方法:分别在早孕（孕10～14周）、中孕（孕20～24周）、晚孕（孕30～34周）及产后（产后12周）四个时期序贯性测定120例正常妊娠妇女血清谷丙转氨酶（ALT）、谷草转氨酶（AST）、γ谷氨酰转移酶（GGT）、乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）、总胆红素（TBIL）、直接胆红素（DBIL）、总蛋白（TP）、白蛋白（ALB）、前白蛋白（PA）的水平并进行比较。结果:ALT、AST在早、中、晚孕及产后各期相对于正常对照均升高（P＜0.01）；TBIL和DBIL在早、中、晚孕均降低（P＜0.01）；TP、ALB随孕期增加逐渐下降,产后回升,到产后12周上升到正常水平（早、中、晚孕P＜0.01,产后P＞0.05）；GGT在孕期中逐渐升高,于晚孕期达最高峰（P＜0.01）,产后稍有下降；LDH在孕早中期无明显变化（P＞0.05）,孕晚期上升,到产后12周仍呈一上升趋势（P＜0.01）；PA在孕早期低于正常对照（P＜0.01）,后随孕期上升,到中孕期后上升到正常（P＞0.05）。结论:本次实验观察到在妊娠期肝功指标ALT、AST、GGT、LDH升高,可能因为孕妇肝脏负荷增加、基础代谢和能量消耗增多、甾体激素水平增高引起。胆红素代谢指标及营养性指标TBIL、DBIL、TP、ALB、PA降低,可能是妊娠期血浆稀释引起。临床诊断妊娠合并肝功能损害时应考虑上述变化。
ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors for seizures in patients with autoimmune encephalitis (AE) and to assess their predictive value for seizures. MethodsSeventy-four patients with AE from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2016 to March 2023 were collected and divided into seizure group (56 cases) and non-seizure group (18 cases), comparing the general clinical information, laboratory tests and imaging examinations and other related data of the two groups. The risk factors for seizures in AE patients were analyzed by multifactorial logistic regression, and their predictive value was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. ResultsThe seizure group had a higher proportion of acute onset conditions in the underlying demographics compared with the non-seizure group (P<0.05). Laboratory data showed statistically significant differences in neutrophil count, calcitoninogen, lactate dehydrogenase, C-reactive protein, homocysteine, and interleukin-6 compared between the two groups (all P<0.05). Multi-factor logistic regression analysis of the above differential indicators showed that increased C-reactive protein [Odds ratio (OR)=4.621, 95% CI (1.123, 19.011), P=0.034], high homocysteine [OR=12.309, 95CI (2.217, 68.340), P=0.004] and onset of disease [OR=4.918, 95% CI (1.254, 19.228), P=0.022] were risk factors for seizures in AE patients, and the area under the ROC curve for the combination of the three indicators to predict seizures in AE patients was 0.856 [95% CI (0.746, 0.966)], with a sensitivity of 73.2% and a specificity of 83.3%. ConclusionHigh C-reactive protein, high homocysteine and acute onset are independent risk factors for seizures in patients with AE, and the combination of the three indices can better predict seizure status in patients.
In recent years, many scholars have explored the clinical application value of a number of peripheral hematology indexes in tumor patients. The significant correlation of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and platelet to lymphocyte ratio with the prognosis in various tumors has also been confirmed. At present, more peripheral blood indexes have been gradually applied to the evaluation of the prognosis in patients with malignant tumors. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a type of highly malignant tumor and most patients are in advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. The evaluation value of tumor stage for survival is extremely limited. Therefore, this review intends to explain the relationship between various peripheral hematology indexes and the prognosis of SCLC patients, so as to provide some academic evidence for the clinical assessment of the survival of SCLC patients and formulation of appropriate treatment strategy, which may contribute to the improvement of the prognosis.
ObjectiveTo construct the comprehensive evaluation indicator system of Chinese patent medicines for ischemic stroke, to determine the weight of indicators, and to provide references for the comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy, safety, and economy of Chinese patent medicines.MethodsTwo rounds of expert consultation by Delphi method were applied to establish the comprehensive evaluation indicator system of Chinese patent medicines for ischemic stroke, and the weight of each indicator was determined by the analytic hierarchy process method.ResultsQuestionnaire recovery rates of 2 rounds were 92.59% and 96.00%, the expert authority coefficient was greater than 0.7, and the coordination coefficients of experts in the total index were 0.224 and 0.370 (P<0.001). A three-level comprehensive evaluation indicator system for Chinese patent medicines for ischemic stroke was established and the three first-level indicators included efficacy, safety, and economy. And there were 15 second-level indicators, and 33 third-level indicators. Through the analytic hierarchy process method, the weights of each first-level indicator were 0.626 4, 0.301 2, and 0.072 4, respectively.ConclusionThe comprehensive evaluation indicator system contains efficacy, safety and economy, and provides a basis for a comprehensive evaluation of Chinese patent medicines for ischemic stroke. The indicator system is of great significance for the design of outcomes for clinical trials of ischemic stroke, the conduction of systematic reviews, and the development of clinical practice guidelines for ischemic stroke patients when selecting study outcomes.
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical significance of quantitative CT measurement of pulmonary vascular indexes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MethodsFifty-three stable COPD patients who were diagnosed in our hospital between May 2013 and February 2015 were recruited in the study. The HRCT results were analyzed, and the pulmonary vascular indexes were measured including the main pulmonary artery diameter (mPAD), axial diagonal mPAD, sagittal mPAD, right pulmonary artery diameter (RPAD), left pulmonary artery diameter (LPAD) and etc. The % CSA<5 (the percent of total cross-sectional area of the vascular with cross-sectional area less than 5 mm2 to total area of the lung) was calculated with Image J 1.48. The % LAA[volume percentage of low attenuation areas (<-950 HU)] representing degree of emphysema was calculated with GE ADW 4.5. Lung function test and questionnaires including CAT, mMRC, SGRQ and frequency of acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD) were completed and collected. ResultsIn COPD patients, the mPAD,axial diagonal mPAD, sagittal mPAD, RPAD and LPAD were positively correlated with % LAA respectively (r=0.36, 0.33, 0.43, 0.45, 0.33) and % CSA<5 was negatively correlated with % LAA (r=-0.37). mPAD was positively correlated with CAT, SGRQ and frequency of AECOPD respectively (r=0.52, 0.29, 0.35), and negatively correlated with FEV1% pred (r=-0.30).% CSA<5 was negatively correlated with CAT, SGRQ and frequency of AECOPD, respectively (r=-0.29,-0.30,-0.29), and positively correlated with FEV1% pred (r=0.28). The multivariate linear regression analysis revealed a linear relationship of mPAD with body mass index,% LAA and CAT. There was also linear relationships between axial diagonal mPAD, sagittal mPAD, RPAD and % LAA, CAT, respectively, and linear relationships between % CSA<5 and FEV1% pred,% LAA. The P value were all less than 0.05. ConclusionQuantitative CT measurement of cross-sectional area of small pulmonary vessels and pulmonary artery diameter are associated with clinical indexes in COPD patients, which will provide a new appraoche for the disease assessment of COPD patients.
ObjectiveTo study the value of revised trauma scores (RTS), major trauma outcome study (MTOS)-RTS scores and point of care test (POCT) in the early forecast of survival time in severe multiple trauma patients. MethodsMultiple trauma patients treated in the Emergency Department of our hospital between September and December 2015 were included in our study. We collected such data as the basic information on admission, physical signs (breath, blood pressure, state of consciousness) and POCT indexes, including pH value, hemoglobin, base excess, hematocrit value, lactic acid, sodium, anion gap, and blood glucose. We calculated each patient's RTS and MTOS-RTS scores. According to the 30-day prognosis, the patients were divided into survival group and death group. Risk factors for survival time were screened by Cox regression risk model. ResultsSeventy-five multiple trauma patients were included in our study. Among them, there were 51 males and 24 females. Fourteen of them died. The multivariate analysis in the Cox regression risk model showed that the risk factors for the death of multiple trauma patients included MOTS-RTS score [RR=0.726, 95%CI (0.608, 0.867), P < 0.001) and POCT lactic acid level [RR=1.139, 95%CI (1.010, 1.324), P=0.037]. ConclusionMOTS-RTS combined with lactic acid level may be used in the early forecast of survival time in severe multiple trauma patients.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical application effect of descending hilar plate technology in laparoscopic heminephrectomy for intrahepatic bile duct calculus.MethodsThe clinical data of 40 patients with intrahepatic bile duct calculus who underwent laparoscopic heminephrectomy in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were grouped according to different surgical procedures, 21 patients with Pringle method of total hepatic vascular exclusion were classified in the control group, and 19 patients with descending hilar plate technology of blood occlusion technology were classified in the observation group. The operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative hospital stays, liver function recovery, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in the intraoperative bleeding volume and operation time (P>0.05), but the postoperative hospital stays in the observation group shortened (P=0.025). The changes on the ALT, TB, and AST in the observation group was obvious than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant incidence between the two groups in the total incidence of complications (P=0.128).ConclusionsCompared with Pringle method of total hepatic vascular exclusion, descending hilar plate technology in laparoscopic heminephrectomy can fully expose the Glisson pedicles of the left and right livers, and it is convenient to implement hemihepatic blood flow occlusion. It has less damage to healthy side of the liver and quicker liver function recovery, and it can reduce postoperative complications and shorten postoperative hospital stay.
Lower limb amputation is a significant change in body structure. Loss of muscle, blood vessels, and blood leads to a redistribution of blood flow and changes in resistance at the end of blood vessels. In view of the significant increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease after lower limb amputation, the mechanism of which is still unclear, this study aims to establish an animal research model that can verify and explore the effects of amputation on cardiovascular system, and provide the experimental basis for subsequent animal experiments when exploring the effect of different amputation levels on the cardiovascular system. SPF New Zealand rabbits were divided into normal group (n = 6) and amputation group (n = 6). The amputation group was treated with above-knee amputation. The changes of low-density liptein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) in serum of all the rabbits were monitored regularly after the surgery. The arterial pathological examination was conducted after the experimental rabbits were executed. The results showed that compared with the normal group, serum LDL-C content and TC content in the amputation group were significantly increased (P<0.05); The blood vessels of the amputated rabbits had pathological changes such as degeneration and necrosis of smooth muscle cells in the middle membrane layer and rupture of elastic fibers. At the abdominal aorta and aortic arch, the elastic fiber area expression percentage (EFEP) of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the normal group. The results suggest that the cardiovascular system of rabbits has the tendency of decreased arterial elasticity and lipid deposition in blood after amputation, indicating that the animal research model on the effect of amputation on the cardiovascular system has been successfully established, and can provide an experimental platform for further study on the mechanism of the effect of amputation on the cardiovascular system.
