Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been highlighted as one of the most important public health problems due to sharply climbing incidence and prevalence. To efficiently attenuate the disease burden and improve the disease management, not only active and effective treatment should be administrated, but also comprehensive follow-up nursing management with innovative and evolving spirits should be implemented. Thus dynamic changes of diseases could be acquired in time and patients are under appropriate medical instruction as soon as possible. This editorial is based on quickly developing medical big data resources and advanced internet techniques, from both aspects of patients and health care providers, briefly talking about integrated management strategy of CKD and its future development in China.
Objective To assess reduction of adverse drug reaction incidence in patients with colorectal cancer receiving Jianpi herbs combined with chemotherapy. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing Jianpi herbs combined with chemotherapy were searched through CBMdisc, CJFD, Wangfang Data and PubMed. The search was updated to September 2007. Software RevMan5, provided by Cochrane Library, was used to perform meta-analysis. Results Six RCTs were identified in this systematic review. All the methodology quality of the enrolled RCTs was gaded C. The pooled analysis showed that Jianpi herbs combined chemotherapy significantly reduced the incidences of grade I and grade II leucopenia [grade I with RR= 0.50 and 95%CI (0.31 to 0.80); grade II with RR= 0.37 and 95%CI (0.21 to 0.66)], grade II nausea and vomiting [RR= 0.51, 95%CI (0.31 to 0.84)] compared with routine chemotherapy. There was no statistical difference in reduction of neurotoxicity between the two groups. Conclusion The methodological quality of the RCTs using Jianpi herbs combined with chemotherapy on treating colorectal cancer should be improved. Based on this systematic review, Jianpi herbs combined with chemotherapy may reduce the incidence of mild to moderate adverse drug reaction, such as leucopenia and nausea and vomiting, in patients with colorectal cancer. Well-designed RCTs are needed in the future.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the diagnostic value of miRNAs for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect diagnostic tests of miRNAs for AD from inception to October 31, 2020. Two researchers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 software were used for meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 22 studies involving 4 006 subjects were included. The meta-analysis results showed that the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios, diagnostic odds ratio, and the areas under the working characteristic curve of miRNA in AD diagnosis were 0.83 (95%CI 0.79 to 0.87), 0.80 (95%CI 0.76 to 0.83), 4.07 (95%CI 3.37 to 4.92), 0.21 (95%CI 0.17 to 0.27), 19.20 (95%CI 12.96 to 28.48) and 0.88 (95%CI 0.85 to 0.90), respectively. ConclusionThe current evidence shows that miRNAs have a high diagnostic value for AD. However, because of the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
Objective To explore the effect of “net bottom” management in the control of device-associated infections (DAIs) in elderly patients by setting infection monitoring doctors and nurses in the emergency intensive care unit (EICU). Methods Elderly patients who aged≥60 years old admitted to the EICU of the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang between April 2018 and March 2021 were selected as the research subjects. A “net bottom” management mode was established and implemented for the purpose of infection prevention and control, taking medical and other departments as the coordination and management subjects, and infection monitoring doctors and nurses as the core. The effectiveness of the management intervention was evaluated by comparing the incidences of DAIs in elderly patients, the compliance rates of medical staff in hand hygiene, and the consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day in EICU among the primary stage (from April 2018 to March 2019), intermediate stage (from April 2019 to March 2020), and later stage (from April 2020 to March 2021). Results During the primary stage, intermediate stage, and later stage, there were 540, 497, and 507 elderly inpatients in EICU monitored, respectively, and the incidences of nosocomial infections were 7.22% (39/540), 5.84% (29/497), and 4.14% (21/507), respectively, showing a decreasing trend (χ2trend=4.557, P=0.033). The incidences of ventilator-associated pneumonia, central line-associated bloodstream infections, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections decreased from 4.82‰, 2.53‰, and 0.95‰, respectively in the primary stage, to 0.51‰, 1.01‰, and 0.53‰, respectively in the later stage, among which the difference in the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia was statistically significant (P<0.05). The hand hygiene compliance rate of EICU medical staff increased from 70.39% to 86.67% (P<0.05), and the consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day increased from 33.70 mL to 67.27 mL. The quarterly hand hygiene compliance rate was positively correlated with the quarterly consumption of hand sanitizer per bed day (rs=0.846, P=0.001), and negatively correlated with the quarterly incidence of nosocomial infections (rs=–0.769, P=0.003). Conclusion The “net bottom” management by setting up infection monitoring doctors and nurses in the EICU and multi-department collaboration can reduce the incidence of DAIs in elderly patients in EICU, which plays a positive role in promoting the hospital infection management and improving the quality of hospital infection management.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Chinese herb compared with an analgesic drug in the treatment of cancer pain. Methods We electronically searched CBM (1990 to 2008), CNKI (1990 to 2008), VIP (1990 to 2008), The Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2008), and MEDLINE (1990 to 2008). Relevant journals and conference proceedings were also handsearched. The quality of the included trials was assessed according to the criteria recommended by the Cochrane Handbook for systematic reviews of interventions and meta-analyses were performed for homogeneous studies using the Cochrane collaboration’s review manager 4.2.2 software. Results Five randomized controlled trails (RCTs), all published in Chinese, involving 590 participants, were included. The quality of all RCTs was graded C (low). Meta-analyses were not performed due to heterogeneity. Instead, descriptive analyses were conducted. The results showed that as for the total effective rate in pain-relieving, Zhentongsan (RR=1.11, 95%CI 1.00 to 1.24, P=0.05) and Xiaozhengzhitong paste (RR=1.35, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.78, P=0.04) were more effective than Indometacin, with significant differences. There were no significant differences between Duyiwei capsule and Indometacin, and so were between Huajianbadumo as well as Shebingzhitong paste and Tramado. In terms of early potency, there were significant differences between Zhentongsan (SMD= –?9.87, 95%CI –10.84 to –8.89, Plt;0.000 01) as well as Xiaozhengzhitong paste (SMD= –8.74, 95%CI –10.164 to –7.32, Plt;0.000?01) and Indometacin, and so were between Shebingzhitong paste and Tramadol (SMD= –2.24, 95%CI –3.00 to –1.49, Plt;0.000?01). There were no significant differences between Huajianbadumo and Tramodo. With regard to the durative effect on pain-relieving, there were significant differences between Xiaozhengzhitong paste and Indometacin (WMD=4.78, 95%CI 2.99 to 6.57, Plt;0.00001), but not between Shebingzhitong paste and Tramadol. Conclusion Because of low quality of the existing studies, the current evidence is insufficient to define the efficacy and safety of compound Chinese herb, and further large-scale and high-quality RCTs are needed.
ObjectiveTo establish a prediction model for ipsilateral cervical lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) in stages T1–T2 unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and to verify its efficacy. MethodsA retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical information of 280 patients with unilateral PTC at stages T1–T2 who underwent ipsilateral cervical lateral lymph node dissection and were diagnosed postoperatively via pathological examination in the Department of Thyroid Surgery (General Surgery) at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from February 2019 to February 2024. The patients were randomly allocated into a training set and a test set in a 7∶3 ratio. The general, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected for all patients. The univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to compare the differences in data of the patients between with and without LLNM in the training set. Then the risk factors affecting on the LLNM were used to construct a nomogram prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated for both the training and test sets, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate model discrimination. The calibration curve was used to assess model calibration, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was conducted to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomogram prediction model. ResultsA total of 280 patients were included, including 196 in the training set and 84 in the testing set. There were no statistically significant differences in the clinical and pathological data between the training set and the testing set (P>0.05). There were 147 cases of LLNM in the training set and 63 cases of LLNM in the testing set. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the patients with T1–T2 stage unilateral PTC who were male in gender, had cancer lesions located in the upper pole, had central lymph node metastasis, had larger cancer lesions, and higher serum thyroid stimulating hormone level had a higher probability of developing ipsilateral cervical LLNM (P<0.05). The AUC (95%CI) of the nomogram prediction model constructed based on these risk factors in the training and testing sets were 0.822 (0.747, 0.897) and 0.838 (0.743, 0.933), respectively. The calibration curves of the training and testing sets roughly overlapped with the reference curve. The DCA results indicated that the net benefit for patients was positive when the threshold probabilities were within the ranges of 15% to 92% for the training set and 10% to 100% for the test set. ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that gender, maximum cancer lesion diameter, cancer lesion location, central lymph node metastasis, and serum thyroid stimulating hormone are risk factors affecting the occurrence of ipsilateral cervical LLNM in T1–T2 stages unilateral PTC. The nomogram prediction model developed based on these risk factors demonstrates good discrimination, accuracy, and clinical applicability for its prediction.
Objective To explore the prevention and control effect of carbapenem resistant Gram-negative bacillus (CRO) in geriatric ward based on transparent supervision model. Methods Patients admitted to the geriatric ward in the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang between January 2018 and December 2022 were selected. A transparent regulatory model for CRO was established and implemented in 2019, including the establishment of a regulatory group, the development of cluster prevention and control measures, the implementation of transparent reminder, publicity, supervision and assessment and other management measures. We evaluated the effectiveness by comparing the detection rate and infection rate of CRO before and after the intervention. Results A total of 15015 patients were monitored, and a total of 418 strains of CRO were detected. The incidence rate of noso-comial infection was decreasing year by year（χ2=26.666, P<0.001), and the etiological submission rate of hospitalized patients before antimicrobial treatment had been increasing year by year（χ2=280.320, P<0.001). The detection rate of CRO infection had been decreasing year by year, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05), and there was statistical significance in the detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia infection (P=0.030). The detection rate of CRO had been decreasing year by year (χ2=33.593, P<0.001), and there was statistical significance in the detection rate of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (χ2=23.663, P<0.001) and carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (χ2=14.527, P=0.006).Conclusions By establishing and promoting transparent supervision mode in the geriatric ward, the detection rate and infection rate of drug-resistant bacteria can be significantly reduced, and the prevention and control effect of CRO in the elderly patients in the ward can be effectively improved to ensure the safety of elderly patients.
ObjectiveTo summarize the latest research progress in active surveillance of low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma at home and abroad, and provide some reference for future clinical work. MethodRetrieved and reviewed relevant literatures about prospective studies on active surveillance of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma.ResultsIn recent years, the incidence of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma had increased sharply, but most of the biological activities were inert, tumor-specific mortality was very low, and only a few had progressed. For patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, surgery was a safe and effective treatment method, but due to changes in the epidemiological characteristics of the disease, people were reconsidering whether there was overtreatment in patients without high-risk characteristics. Expert consensus and guidelines no matter at home or abroad mentioned that active monitoring can be considered as an alternative to surgery. For suitable patients, active monitoring might be a better choice.ConclusionsActive surveillance for low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is basically considered to be a safe and feasible treatment option, but large numbers of clinical trials are still needed to provide evidence for the conversion of conventional clinical treatment models. In the future, by more accurately assessing the tumor progression of patients with low-risk papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, active surveillance is promising to alternate surgical treatments.
Patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis are characterized with lower cardiorespiratory capacity and muscle atrophy, thus easily leading to a sedentary lifestyle. These patients are usually associated with lower quality of life and worse prognosis. Evidence indicates appropriate exercise rehabilitation plan could help maintenance hemodialysis patients achieve better health outcomes. However, there is still a lack of evidence data to precisely recommend exercise type, intensity, frequency and timing specially designed for maintenance hemodialysis patients. This article aims to summarize the existing expert consensus on exercise rehabilitation for maintenance hemodialysis patients, important considerations in the implementation process, factors that affect exercise rehabilitation, with a view to encouraging maintenance hemodialysis patients to participate in the development of appropriate exercise rehabilitation plan and maximize health benefits.
