Objective: To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-C-reactive-protein ratio (LCR), and monocyte-to-leukocyte ratio (MWR) and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer before and after chemotherapy.

Methods: Seventeen rectal cancer patients who underwent NAC at West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 31, 2022, to April 30, 2024, were selected as the study subjects, and the predictive value of peripheral blood NLR, LMR, PLR, LCR, and MWR were included in the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis for the pathological efficacy, and the significant variables were screened out and the nomogram was constructed from them. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to evaluate the predictive performance of the model.

Results: LASSO regression screened three predictive variables of NLR, LMR and LCR before neoadjuvant therapy that could predict pathological complete remission (pCR), as well as changes in PLR, LCR, and MWR after neoadjuvant therapy that could predict chemotherapy inefficacy. Nomograms and DCA curves were drawn based on the variables, and internal validation showed that the model had good predictive ability.

Conclusion: The comprehensive hematological prediction model for effective NAC in rectal cancer has a good predictive ability for NAC efficacy, which can provide guidance for individualized patient treatment.

研究目的研究局部晚期直肠癌患者化疗前后外周血中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞比值(NLR)、淋巴细胞与单核细胞比值(LMR)、血小板与淋巴细胞比值(PLR)、淋巴细胞与C反应蛋白比值(LCR)、单核细胞与白细胞比值(MWR)与新辅助化疗(NAC)疗效的关系。 研究方法选取2022年3月31日至2024年4月30日在四川大学华西医院接受新辅助化疗的17例直肠癌患者为研究对象,将外周血NLR、LMR、PLR、LCR、MWR的预测值纳入病理疗效的最小绝对收缩和选择算子(LASSO)回归分析,筛选出显著变量,并据此构建提名图。应用决策曲线分析(DCA)评估模型的预测性能。 结果LASSO回归筛选出了新辅助治疗前可预测病理完全缓解(pCR)的NLR、LMR和LCR三个预测变量,以及新辅助治疗后可预测化疗无效的PLR、LCR和MWR的变化。根据变量绘制了提名图和 DCA 曲线,内部验证表明该模型具有良好的预测能力。 结论直肠癌新辅助化疗有效血液学综合预测模型对新辅助化疗疗效具有良好的预测能力,可为患者的个体化治疗提供指导。

Objective. The genuine causal nexus between mitochondrial function-related proteins and diabetic nephropathy remains enigmatic and arduous to delineate conclusively. In this study, we employed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis, a robust approach, to scrutinize and discern the causal interplay between them. Methods. In this investigation, the datasets pertaining to diabetic nephropathy and mitochondrial function-related proteins were meticulously extracted from the comprehensive IEU OpenGWAS Project database. The principal analytical method employed was the inverse variance weighted approach. In addition, MR-Egger regression, simple median, and weighted median methodologies were utilized as supplementary tools to interrogate the causal associations of mitochondrial function-related proteins with the risk of diabetic nephropathy. Semsitivity analyses were conducted using the Cochran’s Q test and MR-Egger regression intercept. The significance level, as indicated by the P value, was employed as the pivotal metric for interpreting the findings. Result. A total of 90 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with mitochondrial function-related proteins were meticulously screened as instrumental variables. The inverse variance weighted analysis unveiled a positive causal nexus between mitochondrial glutamate carrier 2, 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase mitochondrial levels, 39S ribosomal protein L52 mitochondrial, ATP synthase subunit beta mitochondrial, Serine--tRNA ligase mitochondrial, itochondrial sodium/hydrogen exchanger 9B2, and Esseential MCU regulator mitochondrial, and diabetic nephropathy. Conversely, pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) kinase isozyme 1 mitochondrial exhibited a negative causal relationship with diabetic nephropathy., the MR-Egger intercept test yielded non-multiplicative results (P  >  0.05), affirming the robustness and validity of Mendelian randomization as an effective method for causal inference in this investigation. Furthermore, the reverse Mendelian randomization analysis failed to demonstrate any causal link between diabetic nephropathy and an augmented risk associated with positively identified mitochondrial function-related proteins. Conclusion. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (acetyl-transferring) kinase isozyme 1 mitochondrial stands out as an independent protective factor against diabetic nephropathy. The findings bear significant clinical implications, offering pivotal insights into the development of targeted preventive and therapeutic interventions, tailored specifically for combating diabetic nephropathy.

目的。线粒体功能相关蛋白与糖尿病肾病之间的真正因果关系仍是一个谜,难以确定。在本研究中,我们采用了双向双样本孟德尔随机分析这种稳健的方法,来仔细研究和辨别它们之间的因果关系。研究方法本研究从 IEU OpenGWAS 项目的综合数据库中精心提取了与糖尿病肾病和线粒体功能相关蛋白质有关的数据集。采用的主要分析方法是反方差加权法。此外,还采用了MR-Egger回归法、简单中值法和加权中值法作为辅助工具,以探讨线粒体功能相关蛋白与糖尿病肾病风险的因果关系。使用 Cochran's Q 检验和 MR-Egger 回归截距法进行了概率分析。以 P 值表示的显著性水平是解释研究结果的关键指标。结果共筛选出 90 个与线粒体功能相关蛋白有关的单核苷酸多态性作为工具变量。逆方差加权分析揭示了线粒体谷氨酸载体 2、2,4-二烯酰基-CoA 还原酶线粒体水平、39S 核糖体蛋白 L52 线粒体、ATP 合酶亚基 (α)之间的正因果关系、线粒体 ATP 合酶亚基 beta、线粒体丝氨酸-tRNA 连接酶、线粒体钠/氢交换器 9B2 和线粒体 Esseential MCU 调节器以及糖尿病肾病。相反,丙酮酸脱氢酶(乙酰转移)激酶同工酶 1 线粒体与糖尿病肾病呈负因果关系,MR-Egger 截距检验得出非多重结果(P > 0.05),肯定了孟德尔随机法作为因果推断有效方法的稳健性和有效性。此外,反向孟德尔随机分析未能证明糖尿病肾病与线粒体功能相关蛋白的正相关风险增加之间存在任何因果联系。结论丙酮酸脱氢酶(乙酰转移)激酶同工酶 1 线粒体是糖尿病肾病的独立保护因素。这些发现具有重要的临床意义,为开发专门用于防治糖尿病肾病的针对性预防和治疗干预措施提供了重要启示。

Background. We aimed to determine the multifocality and detectability of prostate cancer (Pca) with 3-Tesla (3T) multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). Methods. The data of the patients who underwent radical prostatectomy in our institution between April 2020 and April 2021 were analyzed. Patients were included in the study at the stage of radical prostatectomy. Demographic and histopathological data were retrospectively collected, and then MRIs of eligible patients were re-evaluated for the study. Suspicious regions of interest (ROIs) were evaluated by a radiologist with 4 years of experience in uroradiology and scored based on Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) v2.1. The reader was blinded to the pathological outcomes of any biopsy specimen. Lesions with a PIRADS score ≥3 were considered positive and included in the study. All cases were evaluated histopathologically by a pathologist with ten years of experience in uropathology. We utilized the mapping method which provided exactly the same information as the whole-mount histopathology along with processing the entire prostatectomy specimen. Results. A total of 142 histopathologic tumoral lesions were detected among 70 patients. In relation to postoperative histopathology, tumor multifocality was established in 78.6% (n = 55), and 52.1% (n = 74) of 142 foci recognized were clinically significant. By detecting a total of 67 lesions, mpMRI showed an overall sensitivity of 47%. Whilst the sensitivity was 73% (54/74) in clinically significant lesions, the sensitivity was only 17.6% (12/68) in clinically insignificant lesions. For the group with detected tumors, the mean prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA density were higher, there were more high-grade lesions, and the rate of the extraprostatic extension was significantly greater (p < 0.05, respectively). According to the multivariate analysis, only tumor size and Gleason Score (GS) were independent predictors regarding the ability of mpMRI to detect tumor foci within the prostate (p < 0.0001). Conclusion. mpMRI exhibited an acceptable sensitivity in detecting high-risk and large Pca foci. The diagnostic accuracy is observed to be markedly diminished in small, low GS, and nonindex tumors. A considerable percentage of missed lesions are clinically significant.

背景。我们旨在利用 3-Tesla (3T) 多参数磁共振成像(mpMRI)确定前列腺癌(Pca)的多发性和可检测性。方法对 2020 年 4 月至 2021 年 4 月期间在我院接受根治性前列腺切除术的患者数据进行分析。患者在前列腺癌根治术阶段被纳入研究。回顾性收集人口统计学和组织病理学数据,然后重新评估符合研究条件的患者的磁共振成像。可疑感兴趣区(ROI)由一名在泌尿放射学领域有四年经验的放射科医生进行评估,并根据前列腺成像报告和数据系统(PIRADS)v2.1进行评分。阅读者对任何活检标本的病理结果都是盲人。PIRADS评分≥3分的病变被视为阳性并纳入研究。所有病例均由一位在泌尿病理学领域有十年经验的病理学家进行组织病理学评估。我们采用了制图法,该方法在处理整个前列腺切除标本的同时,还能提供与全切组织病理学完全相同的信息。结果70 名患者中共发现 142 处组织病理学肿瘤病变。术后组织病理学结果显示,78.6%(55 人)的肿瘤为多发性,142 个病灶中有 52.1%(74 人)具有临床意义。通过检测总共 67 个病灶,mpMRI 显示出 47% 的总体灵敏度。对有临床意义病灶的灵敏度为 73%(54/74),而对无临床意义病灶的灵敏度仅为 17.6%(12/68)。在检测出肿瘤的组别中,平均前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)和PSA密度更高,高级别病变更多,前列腺外扩展率明显更高(P分别为0.05)。根据多变量分析,只有肿瘤大小和格里森评分(GS)是 mpMRI 检测前列腺内肿瘤病灶能力的独立预测因素(p < 0.0001)。mpMRI在检测高危和大的前列腺肿瘤灶方面表现出了可接受的灵敏度。据观察,对于小肿瘤、低GS肿瘤和非指数肿瘤,诊断准确性明显降低。相当比例的漏诊病灶具有临床意义。

Aims and Objectives. Admission in the intensive care unit is highly stressful, for both the child and family. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the nurse-parent partnership in the pediatric intensive care units. Methods. The data were collected from 71 ICU nurses through a web-based survey by the Pediatric Nurse-Parent Partnership (NPP) Scale, Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence (EI) Scale, and patient-centered communication (PCC) proficiency by Park and Oh’s. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results. The mean scores for NPP, EI, and PCC skills were 67.91 ± 9.62, 55.16 ± 5.77, and 33.38 ± 4.81, respectively. There was a positive correlation between NPP, EI (r = 0.71, p < 0.001), and PCC skills (r = 0.59, p < 0.001). In hierarchical multiple regression analysis, EI (p < 0.01) and PCC skills (p = 0.05) were the two stronger primary variables influencing NPP than the general variables such as gender, children, and an additional qualification in pediatric nursing with higher variance (59% vs 14%). Conclusion. The findings of the study supported that nurses’ EI and PCC skills as well as additional qualification or training in pediatric nursing were the primary factors influencing nurse-parent partnership in intensive care settings. Thus, effective intervention programs focusing on these factors should be initiated to strengthen NPP.

目的和目标。入住重症监护病房对儿童和家庭都是极大的压力。本研究旨在确定影响儿科重症监护室护士与家长合作关系的因素。研究方法通过儿科护士-家长合作关系(NPP)量表、Wong 和 Law 情商(EI)量表以及 Park 和 Oh 的以患者为中心的沟通(PCC)熟练程度的网络调查,收集了 71 名重症监护室护士的数据。数据分析采用了描述性和推论性统计方法。结果NPP、EI 和 PCC 技能的平均得分分别为 67.91 ± 9.62、55.16 ± 5.77 和 33.38 ± 4.81。NPP、EI(r = 0.71,p <0.001)和 PCC 技能(r = 0.59,p <0.001)之间呈正相关。在分层多元回归分析中,EI(p < 0.01)和 PCC 技能(p = 0.05)是影响 NPP 的两个主要变量,比性别、儿童和儿科护理附加资格等一般变量的方差更大(59% vs 14%)。结论研究结果表明,护士的 EI 和 PCC 技能以及儿科护理的附加资格或培训是影响重症监护环境中护士与家长合作关系的主要因素。因此,应针对这些因素启动有效的干预计划,以加强 NPP。

Background. There is still no consensus on the treatment of frozen shoulder (FS). Clinical studies on extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) combined with arthroscopic capsular release (ACR) for FS are still lacking. Objectives. To investigate the effect of ESWT on short-term functional recovery after arthroscopic capsular release (ACR). Methods. A randomized clinical trial including 49 patients who under ACR was included. The patients were assigned to the ESWT group (n = 24) or non-ESWT group (n = 25) 2 weeks after surgery. Routine advanced rehabilitation program are given to all participants, while the ESWT group additionally received 5 times shockwave therapy. Visual analog scale (VAS) pain score, Constant score, University of California Los Angeles score (UCLA), UCLA-satisfaction, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) in four directions of flexion, abduction, internal, and external rotation were analyzed at the baseline (2 weeks postsurgery), 2 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks of follow-up. Repeated measure ANOVA is used to analyze the above outcomes. Results. A total of 46 participants completed all assessments. Pain and function improved in both groups. Comparing between the groups, we found that lower VAS pain scores and higher internal rotation were found in the ESWT group at each follow-up stage (all P < 0.05, 12 weeks VAS-pain 95% CI: [ESWT: 1.55–2.19, non-ESWT: 2.11–2.76], and 12 weeks internal rotation 95% CI: [ESWT: 5.42–7.27, non-ESWT: 7.20–9.06]). Regarding functional scores, the UCLA and UCLA-satisfaction of the ESWT group was significantly higher than that of the control group at 8 weeks and 12 weeks of follow-up (all P < 0.05, 12 weeks UCLA 95% CI: [ESWT: 31.94-33.45, non-ESWT: 27.94-29.45], 12 weeks UCLA-satisfaction 95% CI: [ESWT: 4.32–5.00, non-ESWT: 2.50–4.32]), but there was no significant difference in Constant (P > 0.05, 12 weeks Constant 95% CI: [ESWT: 82.98-92.94, non-ESWT: 78.24–88.20]). Conclusion. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy has a good analgesic effect and improves internal rotation after arthroscopic capsular release through short-term follow-up.

背景。关于肩周炎(FS)的治疗,目前仍未达成共识。关于体外冲击波疗法(ESWT)结合关节镜关节囊松解术(ACR)治疗肩周炎的临床研究仍然缺乏。研究目的研究 ESWT 对关节镜关节囊松解术(ACR)后短期功能恢复的影响。方法。随机临床试验包括 49 名接受 ACR 的患者。患者在术后 2 周被分配到 ESWT 组(24 人)或非 ESWT 组(25 人)。所有参与者都接受了常规的高级康复计划,而 ESWT 组则额外接受了 5 次冲击波治疗。在基线(术后 2 周)、2 周、8 周和 12 周的随访中,对视觉模拟量表(VAS)疼痛评分、恒定评分、加州大学洛杉矶分校评分(UCLA)、UCLA 满意度以及肩关节在屈曲、外展、内旋和外旋四个方向的活动范围(ROM)进行分析。重复测量方差分析用于分析上述结果。结果。共有 46 名参与者完成了所有评估。两组患者的疼痛和功能均有所改善。通过比较发现,在每个随访阶段,ESWT 组的 VAS 疼痛评分更低,内旋率更高(所有 P < 0.05,12 周 VAS 疼痛 95% CI:[ESWT:1.55-2.19,非 ESWT:2.11-2.76],12 周内旋 95% CI:[ESWT:5.42-7.27,非 ESWT:7.20-9.06])。在功能评分方面,随访 8 周和 12 周时,ESWT 组的 UCLA 和 UCLA-满意度明显高于对照组(所有 P 均为 0.05,12 周 UCLA 95% CI:[ESWT:31.94-33.45,非 ESWT:27.00-29.00])。45,非 ESWT:27.94-29.45],12 周 UCLA-满意度 95% CI:[ESWT:4.32-5.00,非 ESWT:2.50-4.32]),但恒定值无显著差异(P >;0.05,12 周恒定值 95% CI:[ESWT:82.98-92.94,非 ESWT:78.24-88.20])。结论体外冲击波疗法具有良好的镇痛效果,通过短期随访可改善关节镜关节囊松解术后的内旋功能。

Objective. The aim of the study was to assess some psychological factors that may be related to the attitude towards vaccination against COVID-19. Methods. The study involved 419 responders, including 317 people aged 36.10 ± 13.41 years who received vaccination against COVID-19 and 102 people aged 38.16 ± 12.33 years who decided not to be vaccinated. The study was conducted online in January-June 2022 in the Polish population. The following methods were used for the study: the generic conspiracist beliefs scale (GCBS), the perceived stress scale (PSS-10), and the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI-X2). Results. In the conspiracy beliefs questionnaire, an average score of 34.41 ± 12.95 points was obtained in the vaccinated group and in the unvaccinated group 48.67 ± 13.62 points. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In the PSS-10 questionnaire, the vaccinated respondents obtained an average score of 19.55 ± 6.75 points, and in the unvaccinated group, the mean score was 18.44 ± 7 points. When comparing the two groups, no statistically significant differences were found. In the vaccinated group, the mean score was 46.96 ± 7.69 points in the state anxiety questionnaire (X2), and 45.85 ± 8.18 points in the unvaccinated group. There were no statistically significant differences between the study groups. Significant positive correlations were found in the results obtained in the conspiracy thinking scale (GCBS), the PSS-10 stress scale, and the anxiety scale as a personality trait (STAI-X2) in both study groups. Conclusions. People presenting conspiracy thinking may be more likely to show antivaccine attitudes compared to people not showing a tendency to this kind of thinking. Conspiracy thinking may not only be associated with a high level of anxiety as a personality trait but also with the level of experienced stress. In the group of unvaccinated people, stress was a significant predictor of conspiratorial thinking. In the group of vaccinated people, anxiety turned out to be a significant predictor of conspiracy thinking. Due to the presence of antivaccine groups, the task of the medical personnel is to educate the public. Moreover, extensive information campaigns are needed to promote vaccination safety in an accessible and understandable language.

研究目的本研究旨在评估可能与接种 COVID-19 疫苗的态度有关的一些心理因素。研究方法。研究涉及 419 名应答者,其中 317 人(36.10 ± 13.41 岁)接种了 COVID-19 疫苗,102 人(38.16 ± 12.33 岁)决定不接种疫苗。该研究于 2022 年 1 月至 6 月在波兰人群中在线进行。研究采用了以下方法:通用阴谋论信念量表(GCBS)、感知压力量表(PSS-10)和状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI-X2)。研究结果在阴谋论信念问卷中,接种疫苗组的平均得分为(34.41 ± 12.95)分,未接种疫苗组的平均得分为(48.67 ± 13.62)分。差异具有统计学意义(P < 0.01)。在 PSS-10 问卷中,接种疫苗的受访者平均得分为(19.55 ± 6.75)分,而未接种疫苗组的平均得分为(18.44 ± 7)分。比较两组受访者的得分,没有发现明显的统计学差异。接种疫苗组的状态焦虑问卷(X2)平均得分为(46.96 ± 7.69)分,未接种疫苗组为(45.85 ± 8.18)分。研究组之间在统计学上没有明显差异。两个研究组的阴谋论思维量表(GCBS)、PSS-10 压力表和作为人格特质的焦虑量表(STAI-X2)的结果均呈显著正相关。结论与没有这种思维倾向的人相比,有阴谋思维的人更有可能表现出反疫苗态度。阴谋论思维不仅可能与作为人格特质的高焦虑水平有关,还可能与经历的压力水平有关。在未接种疫苗的人群中,压力是阴谋论思维的重要预测因素。而在接种疫苗的人群中,焦虑则是阴谋论思维的重要预测因素。由于反疫苗团体的存在,医务人员的任务是教育公众。此外,还需要开展广泛的宣传活动,以通俗易懂的语言宣传疫苗接种的安全性。

Objectives. This study aimed to use laboratory and clinical data of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients to construct prediction models for fundus complications in SLE. Methods. Routine blood test data and clinical information of 277 SLE patients were collected retrospectively. Based on their fundus examination, they were divided into two groups, with or without fundus lesions, defined as retinopathy and choroidopathy in this study. The data of the two groups were compared, and the prediction model was established using binary logistic regression analysis. Results. There were 85 patients in the fundus lesions’ group and 192 patients in the control group. Between the two groups, age, SLEDAI, serositis, hypertension, diabetes, anticardiolipin antibody (ACA), anti-Sm antibody, C-reactive protein (CRP), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), albumin (Alb), serum creatinine(Scr), urea, uric acid(UA), and immunoglobulin G(IgG) were significantly different (p < 0.05). Besides, age, SLEDAI, serositis, hypertension, diabetes, anti-SSB, CRP, Hb, PLT, FIB, Alb, Scr, urea, UA, GLU, and IgG were significantly correlated with SLE-related fundus lesions. PLT, fibrinogen (FIB), IgG, and urea were independent risk factors of SLE-related fundus lesions. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.830 (p < 0.001; 95% CI = 0.762–0.898), and the nomogram was established with great evaluation efficiency demonstrated by the calibration curve and the Hosmer–Lemeshow test. The result of k-fold cross-validation also showed high prediction accuracy. Conclusions. We have found the independent risk factors of SLE-related fundus lesions and developed a model to improve the prediction of fundus lesions in SLE.

研究目的本研究旨在利用系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者的实验室和临床数据,构建系统性红斑狼疮眼底并发症的预测模型。研究方法回顾性收集了 277 名系统性红斑狼疮患者的常规血液检测数据和临床信息。根据眼底检查结果,他们被分为有眼底病变和无眼底病变两组,在本研究中被定义为视网膜病变和脉络膜病变。比较两组患者的数据,并使用二元逻辑回归分析建立预测模型。结果眼底病变组有 85 名患者,对照组有 192 名患者。两组患者的年龄、SLEDAI、血清炎、高血压、糖尿病、抗心磷脂抗体(ACA)、抗Sm抗体、C反应蛋白(CRP)、血红蛋白(Hb)、血小板计数(PLT)、白蛋白(Alb)、血清肌酐(Scr)、尿素、尿酸(UA)和免疫球蛋白G(IgG)均有显著差异(P <0.05)。此外,年龄、SLEDAI、血清炎、高血压、糖尿病、抗-SSB、CRP、Hb、PLT、FIB、Alb、Scr、尿素、UA、GLU 和 IgG 与系统性红斑狼疮相关眼底病变有明显相关性。PLT、纤维蛋白原(FIB)、IgG和尿素是系统性红斑狼疮相关眼底病变的独立危险因素。曲线下面积(AUC)为 0.830 (p < 0.001; 95% CI = 0.762-0.898),通过校准曲线和 Hosmer-Lemeshow 检验,建立的提名图具有很高的评价效率。k 倍交叉验证的结果也显示了较高的预测准确性。结论我们发现了系统性红斑狼疮相关眼底病变的独立危险因素,并建立了一个模型来改善对系统性红斑狼疮眼底病变的预测。

Introduction. Globally, hospitals are an important place in end-of-life care and most frequent place of death in Germany (47%), but at the same time, the least preferred one—both for patients and their informal caregivers. As hospital care in the dying phase on non-palliative care wards has rarely been studied systematically, we assessed the current state of care in the dying phase in hospitals as a first step. Methods. In an online survey, N = 165 national health experts were invited to answer eight open questions on care aspects, facilitators, barriers, and needs for improvement as well as COVID-19 pandemic specifics regarding hospital care in the dying phase. Sociodemographic data were analysed descriptively, and responses were analysed using qualitative thematic analysis. Results. Of n = 65 experts, 52% work as nursing staff and 30% as physicians. We identified facilitators, barriers, and needs for improvement regarding 11 topics on the following three levels: institutional level (general institutional conditions, hospital culture, and integration of specialist palliative care), team level (attitude towards and dealing with death and dying, competencies, communication, and teamwork) and care level (dying phase, symptom control, patient centredness, and involvement of informal caregivers). Conclusion. Improving care in the dying phase has to overcome barriers on various levels. We assume that rather “small” measures will find their way into clinical routine and contribute to the improvement of hospital care in the dying phase.

导言。在全球范围内,医院是临终关怀的重要场所,也是德国最常见的死亡场所(47%),但同时却是病人及其非正式护理人员最不愿意去的地方。由于很少对医院非姑息治疗病房的临终关怀进行系统研究,我们首先对医院临终关怀的现状进行了评估。调查方法在一项在线调查中,我们邀请了 N = 165 位国家卫生专家回答 8 个开放性问题,内容涉及临终关怀的护理方面、促进因素、障碍、改进需求以及 COVID-19 大流行的具体情况。对社会人口学数据进行了描述性分析,并采用定性主题分析法对回答进行了分析。结果。在 n = 65 位专家中,52% 为护理人员,30% 为医生。我们就以下三个层面的 11 个主题确定了促进因素、障碍和改进需求:机构层面(总体机构条件、医院文化和整合专科姑息关怀)、团队层面(对待和处理死亡和临终的态度、能力、沟通和团队合作)和护理层面(临终阶段、症状控制、患者中心和非正式护理人员的参与)。结论改善临终关怀必须克服各个层面的障碍。我们认为,一些 "微小 "的措施将被纳入临床常规,并有助于改善临终阶段的医院护理。

Most elderly persons suffer from chronic diseases. To treat chronic diseases, good medication adherence and refilling medication as physicians’ advice are key points of pharmaceutical therapy. However, the literature revealed that only limited studies have focused on the medication adherence of the elderly in rural communities. This study evaluated the adherence to medication and the degree of refilling prescriptions as physician’s advice by the Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) and evaluated the factors associated with poor adherence to medication. This cross-sectional study focused on the medication use of the elderly population in rural areas in western Taiwan and analyzed related personal and social factors which influence the behaviors of pharmaceutical therapy. In conclusion, most of the elderly who lived in rural areas in western Taiwan have poor adherence (ARMS score over 12) to medication and a poor degree of refilling prescriptions as per physicians’ advice. Moreover, age ≥75 years and low urbanization were significantly associated with poor adherence. Future research is warranted to assess the effect of the interventions to improve medication adherence on chronic disease control, disability, and mortality.

大多数老年人都患有慢性疾病。要治疗慢性病,良好的服药依从性和遵医嘱补药是药物治疗的关键点。然而,文献显示,只有有限的研究关注农村社区老年人的服药依从性。本研究通过 "遵医嘱重新配药和用药量表"(ARMS)评估了老年人的用药依从性和遵医嘱重新配药的程度,并评估了与用药依从性差相关的因素。这项横断面研究主要关注台湾西部农村地区老年人的用药情况,并分析了影响药物治疗行为的相关个人和社会因素。总之,大部分居住在台湾西部农村地区的老年人对药物治疗的依从性较差(ARMS评分超过12分),按照医生建议重新配药的程度也较低。此外,年龄≥75 岁和城市化程度低也与服药依从性差显著相关。未来的研究需要评估改善服药依从性的干预措施对慢性病控制、残疾和死亡率的影响。

Background. Delayed cord clamping (DCC) for more than one minute is associated with nutritional and developmental benefits for newborns. However, there is limited evidence regarding the relationship between DCC and outcomes in resource-limited settings. This study aims to assess the effect of the time of cord clamping on serum bilirubin level 24 hours after birth in an Ethiopian Tertiary Care hospital. Methods. A three-arm, single-blind, exploratory randomized controlled trial was conducted between October 2019 and January 2020 targeting healthy, full-term neonates. Study participants were randomly assigned into one of the following intervention groups depending on the timing of cord clamping: immediate cord clamping (<30 seconds), intermediate cord clamping (60 seconds), and DCC (180 seconds). The primary outcome is serum bilirubin level in the newborns, which was assessed 24 hours after birth and before they were discharged home. Descriptive analysis was applied to assess differences between groups in terms of demographic, obstetric, and social characteristics of the participants, while a linear regression model was employed to examine the association between cord clamping time and serum bilirubin level. Result. A total of 141 term newborns were included and randomized into the three categories. The demographic, social, and obstetrics characteristics of included participants were not different across groups except for the labor duration (P value <0.05). While the time of cord clamping was not a significant predictor of total serum bilirubin levels at 24 hours postbirth, cord blood total serum bilirubin (coefficient: 0.24; p < 0.05) and bilirubin nomogram high-risk zone (coefficient: 6.25; p < 0.001) were found to be significant predictors. (4) Conclusion. Our findings indicate that the time of umbilical cord clamping does not affect the total serum bilirubin level of neonates at least within 24 hours of birth.

背景。延迟夹断脐带超过一分钟(DCC)对新生儿的营养和发育有好处。然而,在资源有限的环境中,有关延迟脐带夹闭与预后之间关系的证据却很有限。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚一家三级护理医院中脐带闭合时间对新生儿出生 24 小时后血清胆红素水平的影响。研究方法在 2019 年 10 月至 2020 年 1 月期间,针对健康的足月新生儿开展了一项三臂、单盲、探索性随机对照试验。根据脐带钳夹的时间,研究参与者被随机分配到以下干预组之一:立即钳夹脐带(30 秒)、中间钳夹脐带(60 秒)和 DCC(180 秒)。主要结果是新生儿的血清胆红素水平,在出生后 24 小时和出院回家前进行评估。该研究采用描述性分析来评估各组间在人口、产科和社会特征方面的差异,并采用线性回归模型来研究脐带夹闭时间与血清胆红素水平之间的关系。研究结果共有 141 名足月儿被随机分为三组。除产程外,各组参与者的人口、社会和产科特征均无差异(P 值为 0.05)。虽然夹断脐带的时间对产后 24 小时的血清总胆红素水平没有显著的预测作用,但脐带血血清总胆红素(系数:0.24;P <;0.05)和胆红素提名图高风险区(系数:6.25;P <;0.001)是显著的预测因素。(4) 结论。我们的研究结果表明,至少在新生儿出生后 24 小时内,夹断脐带的时间不会影响其血清总胆红素水平。
