Objective To investigate the value of the ultrasound technique score and the Braden scale in jointly predicting the risk of pressure injuries in patients with severe multiple injuries. Methods According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 216 patients who were hospitalized in the Affiliated Central Hospital of Chongqing University from December 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled. The Braden scale and body sur- face ultrasound test results of each patient were collected, and the subject operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the Braden scale, the ultrasound score. and the Braden scale combined with the ultrasound score were counted respectively, and the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and other predictive indexes were calculated, so as to analyze and compare the clinical value of the prediction of the combined means. Results The incidence of pressure injuries in patients with severe multiple injuries was 24.5%. The AUC of the Braden scale for the risk of pressure injuries in patients with severe multiple injuries was 0.602[95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.507-0.696, P=0.026]. The sensitivity for diagnosing pressure injuries was 0.868 and the specificity was 0. 184 when using a Braden score of 12 as the cut-off point. The AUC for the ultrasound technique score was 0.898 (95%CI 0.852-0.944, P<0.001). The sensitivity for diagnosing pressure injuries was 0. 962 and the specificity was 0.767 when using an ultrasound score of ≥ 1 as the cut-off point. The AUC for the combination of the Braden score and the ultrasound technique for the risk of developing pressure injuries in patients with severe multiple injuries was 0. 927 (95% CI 0.887 0.958, P < 0.000 1). The sensitivity was 0.975 and the specificity was 0.819 when Braden score 12 and ultrasound score 1 were used as cut-off points. Conclusion In patients with severe multiple injuries, the specificity of the Braden scale for pressure injuries prediction is poor, and the Braden score combined with the ultrasound technology is a more optimized means of assessing pressure injuries risk.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become the most common liver disease worldwide. To date, the US Food and Drug Administration has not approved any treatment for NAFLD. According to the latest diagnosis and treatment guidelines, the primary goal of treatment for NAFLD patients is to lose weight, and dietary intervention is the main means of treatment. The patients can not take into account the nutrition and treatment of daily diet adjustment, unscientific diet and fat reduction can aggravate the progress of fatty liver. The emergence of food for special medical purpose (FSMP) and its successful application in diabetes and other chronic diseases show that it plays an auxiliary role in the treatment of diseases. The development of a FSMP for NAFLD will bring more benefits to the patients. This paper reviewed the development status of FSMP and analyzed the research status of FSMP related to NAFLD,explored the advantages of FSMP compared to conventional dietary interventions, in order to provide theoretical reference for the development and application of NAFLD FSMP in the future.
