Objective To explore the hemodynamic assessment after radical surgery in children with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) by both echocardiography and Mostcare monitor. Methods Clinical data of 63 children with TOF who underwent radical surgery in our hospital from February 2016 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 34 males and 29 females, aged 6-24 (9.82±5.77) months. There were 19 patients undergoing transannular patch reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (a transannular patch group) while 44 patients retained the pulmonary valve annulus (a non-transannular patch group) . The echocardiography and Mostcare monitor parameters were recorded and brain natriuretic peptide was tested at the time points of 0, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after operation (T 0, T 1, T 2, T 4) to analyze their correlations and the change trend at different time points after radical surgery. Results The left ventricular ejection fraction at T 1 (43.49%±3.82%) was lower than that at T 0 (48.29%±4.55%), T 2 (45.83%±3.69%), T 3 (53.76%±4.43%) and T 4 (60.54%±3.23%, P<0.05). The cardiac index at T 1 (1.85±0.35 L·min?1·m?2) was lower than that at T 0 (2.11±0.38 L·min?1·m?2), T 2 (2.07±0.36 L·min?1·m?2), T 3 (2.42±0.37 L·min?1·m?2) and T 4 (2.82±0.42 L·min?1·m?2, P<0.05). The cardiac circulation efficiency at T1 (0.19±0.05) was lower than that at T 0 (0.22±0.06), T 2 (0.22±0.05), T 3 (0.28±0.06) and T 4 (0.34±0.06, P<0.05). The right ventricular two-chambers view fraction area change at T 1 (23.17%±3.11%) was lower than that at T 0 (25.81%±3.74%), T 2 (25.38%±3.43%), T 3 (30.60%±4.50%) and T 4 (36.94%±5.85%, P<0.05). The pulse pressure variability was the highest at T 0 (18.76%±3.58%), followed by T 1 (14.81%±3.32%), T 2 (12.44%±2.94%), T 3 (10.39%±2.96%) and T 4 (9.18%±1.92%, P<0.05). The blood brain natriuretic peptide was higher at T 1 (846.67±362.95 pg/ml) than that at T 0 (42.60±18.06 pg/ml), T 2 (730.95±351.09 pg/ml), T 3 (510.98±290.39 pg/ml) and T 4 (364.41±243.56 pg/ml, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac circulation efficiency and heart index between the two groups (P>0.05). The right ventricular two-chambers view fraction area change of the transannular patch group was significantly lower than that of the non-transannular patch group at each time point (P<0.05). The blood brain natriuretic peptide and pulse pressure variability of the transannular patch group were significantly higher than those of the non-transannular patch group (P<0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction was positively correlated with cardiac index (r=0.637, P=0.001) and cardiac circulation efficiency (r=0.462, P=0.001) while was significantly negatively correlated with blood brain natriuretic peptide (r=–0.419, P=0.001). Conclusion Both methods can accurately reflect the state of cardiac function. Mostcare monitor has a good consistency with echocardiography. Using transannular patch to recontribute right ventricular outflow tract in operation has more influence on right ventricular systolic function. The Mostcare monitor can guide the hemodynamic management after surgery in real time, continuously and accurately.
On the basis of Poincare scatter plot and first order difference scatter plot, a novel heart rate variability (HRV) analysis method based on scatter plots of RR intervals and first order difference of RR intervals (namely, RdR) was proposed. The abscissa of the RdR scatter plot, the x-axis, is RR intervals and the ordinate, y-axis, is the difference between successive RR intervals. The RdR scatter plot includes the information of RR intervals and the difference between successive RR intervals, which captures more HRV information. By RdR scatter plot analysis of some records of MIT-BIH arrhythmias database, we found that the scatter plot of uncoupled premature ventricular contraction (PVC), coupled ventricular bigeminy and ventricular trigeminy PVC had specific graphic characteristics. The RdR scatter plot method has higher detecting performance than the Poincare scatter plot method, and simpler and more intuitive than the first order difference method.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of the shared decision-making scheme in postoperative out-of-hospital extended care for patients with total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Methods Patients who underwent THA/TKA in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between October 2023 and April 2024 were included using convenience sampling. Patients were divided into the control group (odd-numbered dates) and the intervention group (even-numbered dates) based on the surgical dates. The intervention group was received care guided by a shared decision-making protocol, whereas the control group was followed the standard post-arthroplasty follow-up procedures. Differences between the two groups were compared in terms of decision-making capacity, decision satisfaction, and hip/knee function at the following time points: on the day of discharge, 3 weeks after discharge, 2 months after discharge, and 3 months after discharge. Results A total of 118 patients were included, with 59 cases in each group. There were no significant differences in demographic and clinical characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). In terms of decision-making, compared with the control group, the experimental group had stronger decision-making ability, lower decision-making conflict, and more satisfaction with the decision-making process (P<0.05). In terms of joint function, the experimental group showed better joint function than the control group at 3 weeks, 2 months, and 3 months after surgery (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the pain dimension of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index between the two groups (P=0.199). Conclusions Compared with the traditional follow-up protocol, the shared decision-making protocol can enhance patient engagement in medical decision-making, reduce decisional conflict, improve satisfaction with the decision-making process, and simultaneously promote joint functional recovery and expedite the rehabilitation process.
ObjectivesTo investigate the utilization of essential medicines and antibiotics in primary healthcare system of Xinjin county of Chengdu city from 2009 to 2011.
MethodsThe data of utilization of all the medicines, essential medicines and antibiotics was collected from 17 hospitals of Xinjin primary healthcare system. Microsoft Excel 2003 was used to analyze the data.
ResultsCompared with 2009, the total costs of medicines and essential medicines increased by 72.27% and 135.4% respectively in 2010. After the implementation of essential medicine policy in 2010, the proportion of essential medicines accounted for more than 90% in community healthcare centers (CHCs) and township hospitals (THs) and over 50% in county-level hospitals in 2011. In 2010, the average cost per prescription among outpatients increased by 3.51% in total, but deceased by 16.23% in CHCs/THs (RMB 15.09 yuan per prescription). In July of 2011, the policy to control the use of antibiotics was implemented in Xinjin county. The use of antibiotics decreased, but still accounted for over 30% in 9 out of 13 CHCs/THs. The use of bigeminy antibiotics and trigeminy antibiotics accounted for 0.42 to 5.56% and 0 to 0.44%, respectively.
ConclusionsThe use of essential medicines increases in Xinjin county and met the national requirements. The average cost per prescription among outpatient decreases in THs and CHCs. After controlling the use of antibiotics, the proportion and cost of antibiotics is still very high, and irrational use of antibiotics probably still exists. The training and guide for evidence-based rational use of medicine should be enhanced in future.
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of family-school-hospital application in continuous nursing care for children with epilepsy. Methods120 children with epilepsy admitted to Children's Hospital Affiliated to Jiangnan University from January 2021 to October 2022 were randomly divided into two groups, each with 60 cases. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received family-school-hospital continuous care. Compare the awareness of epilepsy knowledge, disease control effectiveness, medication compliance, negative emotions, physical and mental status, and quality of life before and after nursing between the families of two groups of children with epilepsy. ResultsAfter 2 months of nursing care, the scores of family members' knowledge of epilepsy in the experimental group were higher than the control group (P<0.05). The effect of disease control in the experimental group was better the control group (P<0.05). The drug compliance of the experimental group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). The quality of life score in the intervention group was higher than the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of family-school-hospital in the continuous care of children with epilepsy can improve their family members' awareness of epilepsy knowledge, effectively control the disease, improve medication compliance, improve negative emotions and physical and mental conditions, and thus improve the quality of life of children.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the purchase willingness rate and influencing factors of long-term care insurance in Chinese population.MethodsCNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, EMbase and PubMed databases were electronically searched to collect cross-sectional studies on the purchase willingness rate of long-term care insurance in China from inception to March 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using Stata 16.0 software.ResultsA total of 66 cross-sectional studies involving 151 231 subjects were included. The results of the meta-analysis showed that the purchase willingness rate of long-term care insurance in China was 52.4% (95%CI 48.1% to 56.8%). Subgroup analysis showed that: among the sample characteristic factors, residents who were from the central region of China (56.4%), being studied after 2016 (53.3%), and residing in pilot regions (53.1%) had a higher willingness rate to purchase long-term care insurance. Among demographic factors, the research considered factors of residence and family size (56.2%) contributed to a higher willingness to purchase long-term care insurance, and residents with monthly income from 1 000 yuan to 5 000 yuan (55.4%) and who were unmarried (55.3%) had a higher willingness to purchase long-term care insurance. Among health and concept factors, the research considered factors of insurance and government trust (57.3%), factor of number of chronic diseases (55.0%), and factor of health risk cognition (52.4%) contributed to a higher willingness to purchase long-term care insurance. Among the factors of long-term care insurance system, factor of the government subsidy (60.6%), factor of long-term care insurance price (58.0%) and factor of payment methods (56.2%) contributed a higher willingness to purchase long-term care insurance.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that over half of residents are willing to purchase long-term care insurance. However, different factors still affect their purchase willingness. The influencing factors reflect numerous difficulties in the current long-term care insurance system, which requires attention and continuous improvement of policy formulators and related researchers.
