Observational Study
The perioperative nursing effect of VSD closed negative pressure drainage in the treatment of emergency traumatic wound infection.
This study aims to explore the perioperative nursing effect of vacuum sealing drainage closed negative pressure drainage in the treatment of emergency traumatic wound infection. A total of 116 patients with trauma-related wound infection were admitted to the Department of orthopedics and skin wound at our hospital from April 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into an observation group and a control group, with 58 patients in each group. ⋯ After treatment, the Bates-Jensen scores in both groups decreased, and the observation group had lower scores than the control group (P < .05). The use of vacuum sealing drainage closure therapy in patients with emergency trauma-related wound infections can alleviate pain, reduce the frequency of dressing changes, accelerate wound healing, and improve wound healing outcomes. It is worthy of clinical promotion.

A quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the clinical efficacy and outcomes of calcitriol combined with bisphosphonates in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP). ⋯ Calcitriol combined with bisphosphonates has a significant clinical effect in the treatment of postmenopausal OP, which can significantly relieve bone pain in postmenopausal OP patients, enhance abnormal bone metabolism and immune function, and promote bone mineral density and daily living ability.

Previous evidence suggests that dietary intake can affect liver diseases; However, the causal relationship between dietary intake and liver diseases remains unclear. To investigate this, we conducted a bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to comprehensively assess the potential causal relationship between dietary intake and liver diseases. Two-sample bidirectional MR was performed based on genome-wide association studies summary data from the UK Biobank and FinnGen database. ⋯ This study provides evidence supporting the impact of dietary intake on liver disease. Increased intake of poultry and salad/raw vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of cirrhosis. These findings can inform preventive and therapeutic strategies for cirrhosis.

Case Reports
Case report: Peritonitis caused by Pantoea agglomerans from pet dog exposure in peritoneal dialysis.
Peritonitis caused by Pantoea agglomerans is a rare occurrence in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Cases potentially linked to pet dogs are even rarer, and there is limited literature available. ⋯ This case highlights the importance of considering zoonotic transmission as a potential source of infection in peritoneal dialysis patients, particularly when there is close contact with pets. Healthcare providers should educate patients about the potential risks posed by pets and implement preventive strategies to mitigate such risks.
