Objective To investigate of mental health level and coping style in emergency nurses. Methods Investigations were conducted in 78 emergency nurses who had been m the emergency department over one year from 4 general hospitals in Huizhou using general condition questionnaire, symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) and simple coping style questionnaire, the results underwent analysis. Results The subfactor score of SCL- 90 was significantly higher than that of Chinese norm. Emergency nurses adopted positive coping style more then conunon adillt group. The positive coping style of nurses was negatively correlated with the total score of SCL-90, somatization, interpersonal relationship, depression and anxiety factor of SCL-90. The negative coping style was positively correlated with the total score, sornatization, depression and anxiety factor of SCL-90.Conchusions Emergency nurses have poor mental health. We must adopt effective means to improve theirs mental health level.

Objective To investigate the preventive effects of Gushudan on osteoporosis in rats after administrated prednisolone.Methods Wistar male rats(60) were divided into six groups: control group,model group,Gushudan groups(3,1,and 0.3 g/kg),and Gushukang 1 g/kg group.The effect was observed by measuring the levels of blood calcium,blood phosphorus,blood BGP content,bone calcium,bone phosphorus,bone density,and hone biomechanics.Results After eight weeks,Gushudan significantly increased the bone density,bone biomechanics,blood BGP content,bone calcium,and bone phosphorus in model group rats.Conclusion Gushudan could increase bone density,bone biomechanics,blood BGP content,bone calcium,and bone phosphorus induced by prednisolone.These results suggest that Gushudan has a distinct preventive effect on osteoporosis rats.

AIM:To explore the association between single nucleotide polymorphism in exon 33 (E33SNP) of thyroglobulin gene and Graves ’ disease ( GD) relapse after antithyroid drug ( ATD) withdrawal .METHODS:The healthy controls (232 cases) and GD patients with discontinued treatment (243 cases) were selected.According to the time of re-lapse, the GD patients were divided into A, B and C subgroups.The A group contained 77 cases of relapse within 1 year, B group contained 86 cases of relapse 1~2 years after treatment and C group contained 80 cases without recurrence within 2 years.The genotypes of E33SNP were identified by RT-PCR.The genotype ratio of thyroglobulin between control group and observation group was comparatively analyzed , and the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone ( TSH) , free triiodothyro-nine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb), ophthalmopathy and goiter size in A , B and C subgroups in different genotype GD patients were investigated .Moreover , cumulative efficiency for patients with different genotypes in the observation group after ATD treatment within 2 years were analyzed .RESULTS:The genotype of E33SNP between observation group and control group had no significant difference , but a significant difference between A , B and C subgroups was observed (P<0.05).The levels of TSH, FT3 and FT4, and goiter size of the patients with different geno-types had no significant difference , while the TRAb levels and ophthalmopathy presented a significant difference ( P <0.05).In addition, the cumulative efficiency within 2 years for GD patients with E33SNP T/T, E33SNP T/C and E33SNP C/C genotypes was 61.8%, 42.6% and 21.3%, respectively, all with significant differences (P<0.05).CONCLU-SION:The GD patients with E33SNP C/C genotype have significantly higher TRAb level and ophthalmopathy rate than those in the patients with E33SNP C/T and E33SNP C/C genotypes, and are more likely to relapse after ATD treatment . The GD patients with E33SNP T/T genotype show a lower recurrence rate .Therefore, combination treatment or other treat-ment modalities may be more reasonable for the GD patients with E 33SNP C/C genotype.

Objective To systematically evaluate and integrate qualitative research related to the psychological experiences and perceptions of body image in bum patients.The goal is to provide a reference basis for developing targeted intervention measures in clinical practice.Methods The databases of CNKI,Wanfang,VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database,China Biomedical Literature Service System,PubMed,Web of Science,Embase,Medline,Cochrane Library,PsycINFO,and Scopus were applied in our study.Relevant qualitative studies on the body image experience of burn patients from the establishment of the databases until December 2022 were collected.The quality of the included literature was assessed using the 2016 edition of the Joanna Briggs Institute(JBI)Centre for Evidence-based Health Care in Australia,and the results of the literature were integrated using aggregative integration.Results A total of 12 pieces of literature were included,from which 40 research findings were extracted.These findings were ultimately summarized into 4 integrated results:diverse traumatic perceptions of body image changes faced by burn patients,active exploration and negative coping strategies towards body image changes faced by burn patients,emotional information needs and post-traumatic growth.Conclusion Burn patients experience various body image issues that hinder their return to normal life.It is crucial for healthcare professionals to timely attend to the physical and mental well-being of the patients,identify body image disorders,assist families in meeting emotional needs,support patients in self-adjustment,and promote positive outcomes.

This paper was designed to study metabonomic characters of the osteoporosis induced by high dose of hydrocortisone and the protective effects of Drynariae Rhizoma, which can replenish the kidney and strengthen the bones. A urinary metabonomics method based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed. Clear separation of healthy control group, model group and treatment group was achieved by using the principal components analysis (PCA) and 9 significantly changed metabolites were identified as potential biomarkers of osteoporosis. Compared with the health control group, the model group rats showed lower levels of creatinine, citric acid, azelaic acid, hippurate, tryptophan and indoxyl sulfate together with higher levels of phenylalanine, cresol sulfate and phenaceturic acid. These changes in urinary metabolites suggest that the disorders of amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, gut microflora and anti-oxidative damage are related to osteoporosis induced by high dose of hydrocortisone and the potential effect of Drynariae Rhizoma on all the four metabolic pathways.
