A modality-specific somatosensory evoked potential test protocol for clinical evaluation: A feasibility study

ObjectiveWe aimed to establish an objective neurophysiological test protocol that can be used to assess the somatosensory nervous system.MethodsIn order to assess most fiber subtypes of the somatosensory nervous system, repetitive stimuli of seven different modalities (touch, vibration, pinprick, cold, contact heat, laser, and warmth) were synchronized with the electroencephalogram (EEG) and applied on the cheek and dorsum of the hand and dorsum of the foot in 21 healthy subjects and three polyneuropathy (PNP) patients. Latencies and amplitudes of the modalities were assessed and compared. Patients received quantitative sensory testing (QST) as reference.ResultsWe found reproducible evoked potentials recordings for touch, vibration, pinprick, contact-heat, and laser stimuli. The recording of warm-evoked potentials was challenging in young healthy subjects and not applicable in patients. Latencies were shortest within Aβ-fiber-mediated signals and longest within C-fibers. The test protocol detected function loss within the Aβ-fiber and Aδ-fiber-range in PNP patients. This function loss corresponded with QST findings.ConclusionIn this pilot study, we developed a neurophysiological test protocol that can specifically assess most of the somatosensory modalities. Despite technical challenges, initial patient data appear promising regarding a possible future clinical application.SignificanceEstablished and custom-made stimulators were combined to assess different fiber subtypes of the somatosensory nervous system using modality-specific evoked potentials.     

儿童输液中心患儿家属心理需求调查分析

目的 探讨儿童输液中心患儿家属的心理需求，方法 采用问卷调查的方法。结果 家属对患儿所患疾病知识的了解需求十分强烈，占100%，技术服务需求占93%，65%的家属担心输液时出现不良反应，75%的要求发放保健知识手册，根据上述需求，采取相应的护理措施，家属的满意度达到了99%。结论 通过对家属心理需求调查分析及采取相应措施，能提高服务质量。     

危险药物职业暴露对医务人员的危害及其防护措施

目的制定防护措施,减少危险药物的暴露风险。方法通过文献,查找危险药物暴露对职业接触的医务人员健康危害的依据,呼吁政府部门和医院领导,加强对危险药物暴露的管理,科学设置配药场所,建立教育和培训制度,采取有效防护措施,确保职业性接触危险药物的医务人员身体健康。结果国内许多医院建立了静脉药物配置中心,由受过培训的专业人员,严格按照操作程序进行抗肿瘤等危险药物的配置,减少了危险药物暴露的机会。结论我国的医务人员化疗防护培训严重不足,防范意识薄弱,应引起有关部门和医院领导的高度重视,制定并落实有效的防护措施,确保医务人员的职业安全。     

糖尿病肾病患者血清TRPM7、Sirtuin-1与钙磷代谢、颈动脉钙化的相关性

目的 探讨糖尿病肾病（DN）患者血清瞬时受体电位通道7(TRPM7)、沉默调节蛋白-1(Sirtuin-1)与钙磷代谢、颈动脉钙化的相关性。方法 选取2020年12月—2022年11月成都大学附属医院收治的97例DN患者作为DN组,另取同期在该院就诊的120例2型糖尿病患者作为对照组。采用实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应检测血清TRPM7的表达,酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清Sirtuin-1水平。采用Pearson法分析DN患者血清TRPM7、Sirtuin-1水平与钙磷代谢的相关性,并通过多因素Logistic逐步回归模型分析DN患者颈动脉钙化的危险因素。结果 DN组血肌酐、尿素氮、血清TRPM7、血磷、颈动脉钙化率高于对照组（P <0.05）。DN组Sirtuin-1、血钙低于对照组（P <0.05）。Pearson相关性分析结果显示,DN患者血清TRPM7与血钙呈负相关（r=-0.247,P=0.000）,与血磷呈正相关（r=0.415,P=0.000）;DN患者血清Sirtuin-1与血钙呈正相关（r=0.367,P=0.000）,与血磷呈负相关（r=-0.505,P=0.00...
