Association of Multimodal Pain Control with Patient-Reported Outcomes in Children Undergoing Surgery

IntroductionOur aim was to describe practices in multimodal pain management at US children's hospitals and evaluate the association between non-opioid pain management strategies and pediatric patient-reported outcomes (PROs).MethodsData were collected as part of the 18-hospital ENhanced Recovery In CHildren Undergoing Surgery (ENRICH-US) clinical trial. Non-opioid pain management strategies included use of preoperative and postoperative non-opioid analgesics, regional anesthetic blocks, and a biobehavioral intervention. PROs included perioperative nervousness, pain-related functional disability, health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Associations were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression models.ResultsAmong 186 patients, 62 (33%) received preoperative analgesics, 186 (100%) postoperative analgesics, 81 (44%) regional anesthetic block, and 135 (73%) used a biobehavioral intervention. Patients were less likely to report worsened as compared to stable nervousness following regional anesthetic block (relative risk ratio [RRR]:0.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]:0.11–0.85), use of a biobehavioral technique (RRR:0.26, 95% CI:0.10–0.70), and both in combination (RRR:0.08, 95% CI:0.02–0.34). There were no associations of non-opioid pain control modalities with pain-related functional disability or HRQoL.ConclusionUse of postoperative non-opioid analgesics have been largely adopted, while preoperative non-opioid analgesics and regional anesthetic blocks are used less frequently. Regional anesthetic blocks and biobehavioral interventions may mitigate postoperative nervousness in children.Level of evidenceIII.

基于网络药理学和分子对接技术探讨黄芪干预腹膜纤维化的机制

目的 运用网络药理学方法及分子对接技术探讨黄芪干预腹膜纤维化的可能机制。方法 利用中药系统药理学数据库及分析平台(TCMSP)检索黄芪的主要化学成分及靶点,并补充文献报道相关药理作用的成分作为潜在活性成分。以"peritoneal fibrosis"为关键词分别在OMIM、Genecards获取目前已知的与腹膜纤维化相关的疾病靶点,后取两者的交集靶点;对交集基因通过STRING数据库与Cytoscape 3.7.2软件构建"药物-成分-靶点-疾病"网络及蛋白互作(PPI)网络并筛选核心网络。基于R软件使用Bioconductor生物信息软件对核心靶点进行GO及KEGG富集分析,最终采用AutoDock软件将主要有效成分与核心靶点进行分子对接,得出其结合能力。结果 筛选出20个黄芪活性成分及文献报道有相关药理作用4个, 457药物作用靶点,与674个腹膜纤维化病靶点取交集,得到86个共同靶点。GO功能富集分析提示黄芪拮抗腹膜纤维化主要参与了蛋白激酶B信号转导的调节、细胞对化学的应激反应、炎症反应的调节等通路; KEGG通路富集分析主要涉及调控肿瘤、磷脂酰肌醇-3-羟激酶-蛋白激酶B(PI3K-Akt)、晚期糖基化终末产物/晚期糖基化终末产物受体(AGE-RAGE)、人类巨细胞病毒感染、HIF-1信号通路等;分子对接结果显示关键靶点与活性成分具有较好的结合能力。结论 黄芪治疗腹膜纤维化的分子机制,可能与抑制炎症及氧化应激反应、调节多种信号通路等相关。

Efficacy,immunogenicity, and safety of available vaccines in children on biologics: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Vaccinations are essential for preventing infectious diseases in children with chronic diseases as they have increased risk of infection from frequent use of biologics. Response to immunizations in this group is not well known.ObjectiveA systematic review was performed to evaluate three primary outcomes: efficacy; immunogenicity; and safety of vaccines in children with chronic conditions treated with biologics.MethodsThe protocol for our systematic review and meta-analysis was registered and published with PROSPERO. We searched electronic bibliographic databases for studies published from 2009 to 2019, focusing on vaccinations in children with chronic conditions treated with biologics.ResultsWe retrieved 532 records. Thirty-one full-text articles were selected, and 14 were included in the meta-analysis. No significant publication bias was found. Efficacy: limited data are available regarding the efficacy of vaccination, as most studies have focused on immunogenicity as surrogate outcome for efficacy. Immunogenicity: patients receiving anti-TNF-alpha therapy had a statistically significant risk of poor seroconversion (p = 0.028) and seroprotection by the serotype B influenza vaccine [inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) p = 0.013; juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) p = 0.004]. We found adequate responses with H1N1 and H3N2 serotypes. Few studies existed for pneumococcal, hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus, varicella-zoster virus, Measles Mumps Rubella virus, and multiple vaccine administration. Safety: vaccine administration was not associated with serious side effects, but JIA patients on anti-TNF alpha therapy had a statistically significant risk of presenting with myalgia or arthralgia postinfluenza vaccine (p = 0.014).ConclusionsMore evidence concerning efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of vaccinations is needed to guide physicians in the vaccine decision process for this pediatric population.     

The National Home-Based Primary Care Learning Network: A Practice-Based Quality Improvement and Research Network

Home-based primary care (HBPC) provides interdisciplinary, comprehensive care at home for homebound older adults and has been largely excluded from the national conversation on care quality and quality improvement. In this Pragmatic Innovations article, we describe the work of the National HBPC Learning Network (LN), which focuses on fostering a continuous learning culture among HBPC practices to improve practice quality, elevate the field of HBPC, and create a community of continuous growth and quality of care accountability. The LN recruits HBPC practices in waves of 9 to 10 practices. It currently comprises 38 HBPC practices that care for 58,000 patients across 25 states (approximately 26% of all patients receiving HBPC in the United States). In a Kickoff meeting, the HBPC practices in each wave are instructed in the basics of quality improvement, develop project aim statements and their first plan-do-study-act cycle, receive an introduction to the LN quality improvement software platform, and review plans for LN engagement. Each month, practices submit updates and receive real-time feedback on their quality improvement work. Monthly virtual workshops are held with all practices that include sharing results of a “1-minute survey” (a monthly 1-to 3-question survey sent to all LN participants on a topic relevant to HBPC practices), a didactic and discussion related to the 1-minute survey topic, and interactive progress updates from LN participants regarding their quality improvement work. Each wave ends with “Moving-up Day,” where practices report on their overall project and reflect on how their practice has changed as a result of the LN. LN practices have addressed and improved performance in multiple HBPC-related quality areas including assessment of functional status and cognitive impairment, falls prevention, advanced care planning, COVID-19 vaccination, and others. We present case studies of 3 LN practices and how LN participation strengthened their practices.

免疫抑制儿童感染新型冠状病毒Omicron变异株病毒清除时间的回顾性队列研究

背景：儿童新型冠状（新冠）病毒Omicron变异株流行期间，免疫抑制状态儿童新冠病毒清除时间定量分析研究较少。 目的：探讨新冠病毒Omicron株感染后免疫抑制和非免疫抑制儿童病毒清除的时间差别，为公共卫生政策制定和精准疫情防控措施提供临床数据。 设计：回顾性队列研究。 方法：以新冠病毒Omicron变异株感染住院患儿为队列人群，分为免疫抑制组和非免疫抑制组，免疫抑制分为绝对免疫抑制、相对免疫抑制和实施免疫抑制疗法，以免疫抑制组病例的性别、年龄和新冠病毒感染的分型与非免疫抑制组行1∶3匹配。以鼻咽拭子新冠病毒PCR检测拷贝数阈（Ct）值≥35为队列终点。 主要结局指标：新冠病毒清除时间。 结果：2022年4月12日至2022年5月12日在上海市新冠病毒感染定点收治医院符合本文共同纳入和排除标准的连续病例728例。免疫抑制组33例，其中绝对免疫抑制8例，相对免疫抑制23例，接受免疫抑制疗法2例（不包括绝对和相对免疫抑制患儿）。非免疫抑制组匹配后99例。2组临床症状、新冠病毒感染治疗和疫苗接种次数差异均无统计学意义。免疫抑制组和非免疫抑制组新冠病毒清除时间分别为（16.5±6.8）和（10.3±4.4）d，差异有统计学意义。免疫抑制组和非免疫抑制组新冠病毒感染轻型病例病毒清除时间分别为（14.0 ± 8.3）和（9.7 ± 3.1）d，普通型病例病毒清除时间分别为（18.3 ± 4.9）和（11.2 ± 5.9）d，差异均有统计学意义。2组单日病毒清除率在第9~14天时差异有统计学意义（P为0.005~0.039）。2组普通型病例单日病毒清除率在第10~15天时差异有统计学意义。免疫抑制组新冠病毒感染2周后核酸检测再次呈阳性3例（9%），临床分型均较前轻，3例均未接种新冠疫苗。 结论：Omicron株感染的免疫抑制患儿病毒清除时间较非免疫抑制患儿显著延长，主要反映在第9~14天，免疫抑制患儿病毒复阳风险高，提示需要更长的隔离时间和转阴后严格的病毒监测。     

U-Net神经网络分割锥形束CT影像中下颌磨牙牙体与牙髓腔及其准确性验证

目的: 使用U-net卷积神经网络实现锥形束CT（cone-beam CT, CBCT）影像中下颌磨牙的牙体和牙髓腔的自动分割,采用基于显微CT（Micro-CT）扫描结果构建的三维模型作为金标准,评估分割准确性。方法: 从同济大学附属口腔医院放射科收集20组包含完整单侧下颌磨牙的口腔小视野CBCT数据,预处理后,由牙体牙髓病学专家使用MITK Workbench软件手动标注牙体与牙髓腔,作为U-net神经网络分割算法的训练集。另收集5颗下颌磨牙和相应的小视野CBCT数据,5组数据经相同预处理后作为测试集。随后由完成训练的神经网络和同一专家对测试集数据进行牙体和牙髓腔分割和三维重建。离体牙预处理后行Micro-CT扫描,将三维重建后获得的模型作为金标准。分别比较测试集数据中,专家的手动标注、神经网络分割结果与金标准两两之间的差异。采用Dice相似性系数（Dice similarity coefficient, DSC）、平均对称表面距离（average symmetric surface distance, ASSD）、Hausdorff距离（Hausdorff distance, HD）和形态差异分析对结果进行评估。采用SPSS 20.0软件包对数据进行统计学分析。结果: 神经网络分割结果与金标准相比,其牙体组的DSC为(95.30±1.01)%、ASSD为(0.11±0.02) mm、HD为(1.05±0.31) mm,牙髓腔组的DSC为(81.21±2.27)%、ASSD为(0.15±0.05) mm、HD为(3.29±1.85) mm,结合形态差异分析结果显示,神经网络的分割结果与金标准的牙体与髓室部分基本相似,但在根管部分,能分割出较粗的根管,对于根管下段和侧支根管等较细的根管分割能力有限。结论: 在现有实验条件下,以专家手动标注作为训练样本的U-net神经网络,实现了在CBCT影像上对下颌磨牙牙体与髓室的自动化精准分割。但对根管部分,其分割结果有待进一步提升。
