Coronary heart disease （CHD） has a distinct circadian rhythmicity in its onset， which is closely related to the waxing and waning of qi and blood in the channel passages of the human body. Grounded in the circadian rhythm theory of "correspondence between heaven and humankind"， this paper explores the pathogenic evolution rules of qi-blood disharmony， channel obstruction， interacting as cause and effect with circadian rhythm disorders in CHD. Clinically， CHD can be observed to attack in the early morning， at night， in the afternoon， and at fixed or unfixed circadian intervals. The pathogenesis rhythms at different time nodes can correspondingly reflect the susceptibility tendencies and pathological stress responses of the human body to core pathogeneses such as yang deficiency with cold congelation， yin deficiency with yang floating， qi and yin deficiency， and liver constraint with qi stagnation under specific temporal states. Treatment should be adapted to the season and time， regulating yin and yang in accordance with biological rhythms. It is recommended to regulate qi during the daytime by promoting ascending and dispersing to unblock the channel passages， and select the appropriate timing for administration to harness natural timing. At the Mao （卯） hour， yang ascends while yin descends， and taking medication at this time conforms to the ascending of yang qi. At the Wu （午） hour， the heart meridian is active， and taking medication at this time warms the channel passages and assists heart yang， which can be treated with modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） or Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤）. At night， blood should be harmonized， when the channel passages are unblocked through nourishing， restraining， and searching， with Lianmei Decoction （连梅汤） combined with Dahuang Zhechong Pill （大黄䗪虫丸）. Following the temporal rhythm， the focus is put on the transitional time of day and night and the four seasons to treat disease before it arises， resonating and corresponding with the natural rhythm.

ObjectiveTo compare the differences between clinical and environmental sources of Acinetobacter baumannii （AB） at a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou in terms of molecular epidemiological characteristics， antimicrobial resistance， disinfectant tolerance， virulence and the distribution of related genes， as well as plasmid epidemiological characteristics； and to assess the association between environmental and clinical strains and the potential transmission risks associated with environmental contamination. MethodsA total of 118 clinical and 102 environmental AB isolates were collected from a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou between 2024 and 2025. Species identification was performed using mass spectrometry and 16S rRNA sequencing； minimum inhibitory concentrations （MICs） for eight antimicrobial agents were determined using the agar dilution method； biofilm formation capacity was assessed using the crystal violet staining method； A Galleria mellonella infection model was used to evaluate the virulence； whole-genome sequencing was employed for multilocus sequence typing （MLST）， phylogenetic analysis， and studies on the distribution of resistance， disinfectant resistance and virulence genes， and plasmid screening. ResultsA total of 38 known ST types were identified among the 220 AB strains， with ST2 and ST40 being the predominant lineages. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that the clinical infection group exhibited resistance to minocycline， imipenem and other antibiotics， as well as the tolerance levels to the disinfectants triclosan and benzalkonium bromide， were generally higher than those in the environmental group （P＜0.001）， and the detection rates of drug resistance genes such as bla_OXA-23 and adeB all exceeded 70.0%. Statistical analysis confirmed that the MIC values of TCS and BAB were significantly positively correlated with various antibiotic resistance phenotypes （P＜0.05）. In biofilm experiments， the proportion of strong biofilm-forming strains in the environmental group （64.7%） was significantly higher than that in the clinical infection group （11.9%；χ²=69.06， df=2， P＜0.000 1）， and the mortality rate of the strains increased with enhanced biofilm-forming ability. Furthermore， a total of 41 plasmid lineages and 219 insertion sequences were detected； ISs such as IS1006 and IS1007 were frequently co-occurring with resistance and virulence genes including bla_OXA-23 and katA. ConclusionsThe predominant lineages of AB in this tertiary hospital were ST2 and ST40. The clinical infection group generally exhibits higher levels of antibiotic resistance and tolerance to disinfectants compared to the environmental group， while biofilm-forming ability differs ： the environmental group dominates in strong biofilm formation， and the clinical group dominates in weak to moderate biofilm formation. Plasmids and ISs may be involved in the co-occurrence and dissemination control strategies and for the molecular epidemiological surveillance of multidrug-resistant bacteria.

Objective:To conduct a latent profile analysis of general self-efficacy among postpartum nurses with two children and explore the influencing factors of different profiles.Methods:A stratified sampling approach was used to recruit 298 clinical nurses with two children who had resumed work from 12 public healthcare facilities in Mianyang during May and December 2023. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Work-Family Conflict Scale, Nursing Stress Scale, Family Stress Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. Latent profile analysis was performed via Mplus 8.3. Pearson correlation and logistic regression analyses were used to examine associations between self-efficacy, work-family conflict, nursing stress, family stress, and profile membership.Results:Data collection yielded 298 questionnaires, with 281 valid responses (94.3% response rate). Three latent profiles of general self-efficacy were identified: low efficacy group (43.8%), moderate efficacy group (42.7%), and high efficacy group (13.5%). Work position, hospital level, time since return to work, nursing stress, and family stress were significant predictors of profile membership ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:General self-efficacy among nurses with two children post-childbirth is heterogeneous. Nursing administrators should deliver tailored interventions based on latent profile characteristics and develop individualized self-efficacy enhancement programs from both individual and organizational perspectives to improve adaptability and competency during post-return work transition.

Objective·To evaluate the detection efficacy and clinical value of non-invasive prenatal testing(NIPT)for identifying copy number variations(CNVs)in the recurrent 17p12 region,including the peripheral myelin protein 22(PMP22)gene.Methods·Pregnant women who underwent NIPT in the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine between July 2020 and April 2024 were enrolled.Clinical data of individuals indicated as high-risk for microdeletions/duplications in the 17p12 region based on NIPT results were collected.Follow-up was conducted to assess the results of subsequent prenatal diagnosis and chromosomal microarray analysis(CMA)performed on peripheral blood from both the pregnant women and their husband.The positive predictive value(PPV)of NIPT for detecting microdeletions/duplications in the 17p 12 region,as well as the underlying causes of false positives,was analyzed.Pregnancy outcomes and related clinical phenotypes of fetuses and pregnant women diagnosed with 17p12 CNVs were followed up.Results·A total of 61 858 pregnant women underwent NIPT testing.NIPT identified 24 cases(0.04％)as high-risk for CNVs in the 17p12 region,including six cases of high-risk 17p12 microduplication and 18 cases of high-risk 17p12 microdeletion.All 24 pregnant women received genetic counseling,and 21(87.50％)underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis.Invasive prenatal diagnostic confirmed four fetuses with 17p12 microduplications,nine fetuses with 17p12 microdeletions,and eight fetuses with no abnormalities,yielding a PPV of 61.90％(13/21).CMA analysis of maternal peripheral blood in the eight false-positive cases revealed that all mothers carried 17p12 CNVs.Further analysis of pregnant women with NIPT-indicated maternal CNVs revealed that all of them carried relevant CNVs.Among the 20 women with successful follow-up,the majority had normal deliveries,with only one case choosing to terminate the pregnancy due to a de-novo fetal 17p12 microduplication.Normally delivered fetuses(average age:1.5 years)were followed up without reporting any significant abnormalities.Of the 16 pregnant women carrying 17p12 CNVs,only two exhibited clinical phenotypes associated with these CNVs,while the others remained asymptomatic.Conclusion·NIPT demonstrates favorable detection efficacy for CNVs in the 17p12 region.Maternal CNVs are the primary cause of false-positive NIPT results for this region.

Objective:To investigate the effect of atosiban on hemodynamic parameters of uterine arteries and clinical effect evaluation in patients with previous implantation failure undergoing frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze 298 cycles of FET in the Department of Reproductive Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to June 2023. Patients were categorized into atosiban group ( n=149) and control group ( n=149) according to whether administered atosiban or not. The related indicators and clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups. Hemodynamic parameters of the uterine arteries, including bilateral uterine artery peak systolic velocity/diastolic velocity (S/D), pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and serum levels of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and oxytocin were compared before and after atosiban treatment. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were applied to assess the effect of atosiban on pregnancy outcomes. The effect of atosiban on live birth rate was analyzed by age stratification. Results:The implantation rate [51.92% (135/260)], the clinical pregnancy rate [67.11% (100/149)] and the live birth rate [59.06% (88/149)] in atosiban group were significantly higher than those in control group [41.13% (102/248), P=0.015; 51.01% (76/149), P=0.005; 40.27% (60/149), P=0.001]; and the early miscarriage rate [9.00% (9/100)] was lower than that of control group [19.74% (15/76), P=0.040]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that atosiban was an independent influencing factor of live birth rate ( OR=2.236, 95% CI: 1.371-3.646, P=0.001). The post-treatment right uterine artery blood flow S/D [4.61 (4.00, 5.36)], PI [1.81 (1.58, 2.05)], RI [0.79 (0.75, 0.82)], and left uterine artery blood flow S/D [4.62 (3.83, 5.61)], PI (1.84±0.38), RI [0.79 (0.74, 0.82)] were all lower than those before treatment [right S/D 4.93 (4.06, 6.04), P<0.001; PI 1.93 (1.60, 2.17), P=0.001; RI 0.80 (0.76, 0.83), P<0.001; left S/D 5.05 (4.20, 6.32), P<0.001; PI 1.95±0.43, P<0.001; RI 0.81 (0.76, 0.84), P<0.001]. Besides, the levels of PGF2α [97.01 (85.15, 109.93) ng/L] and oxytocin [41.18 (37.16, 46.78) ng/L] after treatment in atosiban group were significantly lower than those before treatment [119.71 (108.85, 129.99) ng/L, P<0.001; 51.87 (46.44, 55.54) ng/L, P<0.001). Moreover, the endometrial peristalsis waves in atosiban group were significantly less after treatment [1.00 (0.00, 2.00) times/min] than before treatment [2.00 (1.00, 3.00) times/min], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Atosiban can improve uterine artery blood flow and reduce endometrial peristalsis waves in women with previous implantation failure, which increases endometrial blood perfusion. Additionally, it can also reduce the levels of PGF2α and oxytocin, and optimize the pregnancy outcome of the frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of intrauterine perfusion of umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells (UCB-MNCs) on thin endometrium.Methods:SPF-grade Kunming mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected. A mouse model of thin endometrium was established by infusing 95% ethanol into the uterine cavity for a duration of 5 min. Using a completely randomized grouping method, 40 female mice with regular estrous cycles were randomly divided into four groups: untreated group (no intervention, n=10), sham-operated group (operation without modeling, n=10), experimental group (intrauterine infusion of UCB-MNCs during estrus after one estrous cycle post-modeling, n=10) and negative control group (intrauterine infusion of saline during estrus after one estrous cycle post-modeling, n=10). Following the administration of UCB-MNCs or physiological saline, all groups' uterine tissues were collected two estrous cycles later during their respective estrus phases. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to assess endometrial morphology, measure thickness, and count glands. Western blotting and reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction were utilized to measure the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), integrin (ITG) α V, ITG β 3 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in the endometrium across different groups for intergroup comparisons. Results:The endometrial thickness and the number of glands in the untreated group [(507.32±85.66) μm, 18.67±6.66] showed no statistically significant differences compared with those in the sham-operated group [(502.78±73.26) μm, 19.33±7.73, all P>0.05]. The experimental group showed significantly increased endometrial thickness [(347.71±82.24) μm vs. (118.85±29.19) μm, P<0.001] and gland number (15.00±2.65 vs. 2.00±2.00, P=0.030) compared with the negative control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the relative protein and mRNA expression levels of LIF, VEGF, ITG α v, ITG β 3, and PCNA in the endometrium between the untreated group and the sham-operated group (all P>0.05). The relative protein and mRNA expression levels of endometrial LIF, VEGF, ITG α V, ITG β 3 and PCNA of the experimental group were all significantly higher than those in the negative control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Intrauterine perfusion with UCB-MNCs may promote endometrial regeneration and repair, as well as improve endometrial receptivity, through the upregulation of the expression levels of PCNA, LIF, VEGF, and ITG α V, ITGβ 3.

Objective:To explore the rehabilitation effects of individual computer story-version magnanimous therapy (ICSMT) on patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).Methods:A total of 120 patients with end-stage renal disease receiving MHD treatment at the Department of Nephrology Hemodialysis Center of Huadu District People's Hospital of Guangzhou from August 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into control group ( n=60, receiving routine clinical treatment) and ICSMT group ( n=60, receiving routine clinical treatment combined with ICSMT for psychological intervention) by random number table method.The patients in the two groups were evaluated by the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), enterprising and magnanimous questionnaire (EMQ), the short-form-36 health survey (SF-36), and activity of daily living scale (ADL) before intervention and at 4-week post-intervention.Blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), hemoglobin (Hb), and serum albumin (ALB) levels were also measured before the intervention and at the 4-week post-intervention.The clinical global impression scale (CGI) was used to evaluate clinical efficacy before the intervention, at the 2-week post-intervention, and at the 4-week post-intervention.Statistics analysis was performed using SPSS 29.0.1.0(171). Independent-samples t-test, paired t-test, Mann-Whitney U test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, the SAS and SDS in the ICSMT group (49.0 (48.0, 50.0), 50.0 (49.0, 51.0)) were significantly lower than those in the control group (51.0 (50.0, 52.0), 52.0 (51.0, 53.0)) (both P<0.001). The enterprising subscore of the EMQ in the ICSMT group (35.0 (32.0, 37.0)) was significantly higher than that in the control group (31.0 (29.0, 34.0)) ( P<0.001). Furthermore, the differences of enterprising and magnanimous subscores between the two groups before and after intervention in the ICSMT group (2.0 (1.0, 4.0), 1.0 (-1.0, 2.0))were significantly higher than those in the control group (-1.0 (-1.0, 0), -1.0 (-1.2, 0)) (both P<0.05). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure values in the ICSMT group (130 (126, 134) mmHg, 85 (80, 88) mmHg)were significantly lower than those in the control group (145 (138, 152) mmHg, 93 (88, 99) mmHg)(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) after 4 weeks of intervention(both P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the level of BUN in the ICSMT group (5.5 (3.7, 8.4) mmol/L) was significantly lower than that in the control group (9.1 (6.8, 11.4) mmol/L), while the level of Hb and ALB in the ICSMT group ((115.0±10.0)g/L, (38.3±3.2)g/L)were significantly higher than those in the control group ((104.0±12.0)g/L, (37.1±2.9)g/L) (all P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the physical functioning, role-physical, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health subscores of SF-36 in ICSMT group were all significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). After 4 weeks of intervention, the score of ADL in the ICSMT group (15.42±1.58)was significantly lower than that in the control group (16.78±2.06) ( t=-4.08, P<0.05). At the 2-week post-intervention and the 4-week post-intervention, the severity of illness (SI) and global improvement (GI) in the ICSMT group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the efficacy index (EI) in the ICSMT group was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:ICSMT can effectively promote the physical, psychological, and social functional rehabilitation of end-stage renal disease patients undergoing MHD, significantly improving their quality of life.

Objective:To evaluate the role of necroptosis in paclitaxel-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.Methods:Thirty SPF healthy male C57BL/6N mice, aged 6-8 weeks, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: vehicle control group (Veh group), paclitaxel group (PTX group), and paclitaxel+ a specific inhibitor of necroptosis Necrostatin-1 group (P+ N group). In PTX group and P+ N group, paclitaxel 10 mg/kg (diluted to 5 mg/ml in anhydrous ethanol and castor oil [1∶1], and further diluted to 1 mg/ml in 0.9% normal saline before use) was intraperitoneally injected daily for 7 consecutive days to induce cognitive dysfunction. P+ N group received an intraperitoneal injection of Necrostatin-1 6.5 mg/kg (diluted to 10 mg/ml in dimethyl sulfoxide, and further diluted to 1 mg/ml in 0.9% normal saline before use) at 2 h before paclitaxel administration every other day, 4 times in total. Veh group received the equal volume of solvent at the matched time points as previously described in P+ N group. After establishment of the model, spontaneous locomotor activity was assessed using the open field test, followed by the novel object recognition test and the Morris water maze to evaluate the cognitive function. The animals were sacrificed after the end of the Morris water maze test, and the hippocampal tissues were collected for determination of the expression of necroptosis-related proteins receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL), and phospho-MLKL (p-MLKL) (by Western blot analysis) and contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) (double immunofluorescence staining) and for observation of the localization of programmed necrosis cells (using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:There were no significant differences in the total distance traveled and mean movement speed in the open field test or swimming speed in the Morris water maze test among the three groups ( P>0.05). Compared to Veh group, the time spent in the central zone in the open field and time spent in the original platform quadrant were significantly shortened, the discrimination index was decreased, the escape latency was prolonged, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and p-MLKL was up-regulated, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were increased, and the number of RIPK1-positive neurons was increased in PTX group ( P<0.05). Compared to PTX group, the time spent in the central zone in the open field test and time spent in the original platform quadrant were significantly prolonged, the discrimination index was increased, the escape latency was shortened, the number of crossing the original platform was increased, the expression of RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL and p-MLKL was down-regulated, the contents of TNF-α and IL-1β were decreased, and the number of RIPK1-positive neurons was decreased in P+ N group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Necroptosis in hippocampal neurons can lead to neuroinflammation, thus contributeing to paclitaxel-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.
