Objective To investigate the current status of workplace violence among Nursing Staff. Methods The Modified Version of Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire was used to investigate 792 nursing staff about their experiences of workplace violence over the past one year in a third-grade Class-A comprehensive hospital in Xi′an city. Results The prevalence of workplace violence among 792 participants was 58.08%(460/792), Outpatient department, Emergency department, Obstetrics and Gynecology department, Pediatrics department were the high-risk areas of workplace violence. Day-shift was the main period of workplace violence occurred. The families of patients, middle-aged, male were the main perpetrators. 72.60%(575/792) of the respondents thought the workplace violence were unavoidable. Correct media orientation (89.33%, 707/792) was considered as the primary measure for preventing workplace violence. Patience explanation (74.13%, 341/460), forbearance (53.04%, 244/460) were the main methods for coping with hospital workplace violence. Grievances (75.38%, 347/460), anger (65.65%, 302/460), part of them even wanted to resign (21.84%, 100/460) after experiencing workplace violence were their feelings. Security patrols (81.63%, 647/792), wards installed cameras (77.43%, 613/792) and bright lights (53.42%, 423/792) in the night work areas were the main measures to prevent workplace violence that the hospital had taken to prevent workplace violence. Conclusions Workplace violence among nursing staff is common. It is suggested that hospitals and the relevant government departments should conduct further intervention research, to formulate feasible administrative riot guiding for reducing the incidence of workplace violence.

Objective To explore the relationship between Stathmin-1 and human papilloma viruse (HPV) persistent infection after conization of uterine cervix, and to show the clinical significance to recurrent of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Methods One hundred and six patients who were treated with conization of uterine cervix for CIN 2-3 grades were enrolled. Thirty-six recurrent patients were enrolled in recurrence group, and the others were enrolled in control group. The expression of Stathmin-1 in primary CIN tissues in two groups was detected by immunohistochemistry. The HPV infection was detected by HPV-DNA test. The relationship of HPV persistent infection and recurrence was analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HPV persistent infection and HPV persistent infection rate in recurrence group were 88.89%(32/36), 83.33%(30/36), in control group were 34.29%(24/70) and 22.86%(16/70), and there were significant difference (P <0.01). Forty-two patients had HPV persistent infection in 56 patients with stathmin-1 positive expression, and 4 patients had HPV persistent infection in 46 patients Stathmin-1 negative expression. There was positive correlation (r=0.97, P<0.01). The type of HPV persistent infection in two groups was no significant difference (P >0.05). Conclusions Stathmin-1 positive expression is related to HPV persistent infection. The two factors can affect the prognosis of high-grade CIN, and can provide new cues and theory basis for the prevention of recurrence.

Objective:To explore the incidence and epidemiological features of workplace violence among medi-cal staffs in a Third - grade Class - A hospital in Xi'an,and to provide scientific basis for the hospital and relevant health management departments to make workplace violence prevention and control measures. Methods: Using Hospital Workplace Violence Questionnaire, a survey was conducted among medical staffs in a Third - grade Class - A hospital in Xi'an to investigate the occurrence of workplace violence over the past one year. Results:A-mong the 1174 respondents,655 suffered workplace violence in the past one year,with a rate of 55. 79％ ;the vio-lence occurred mainly in day shift and wards;the perpetrators were mainly middle - aged,male and the families of patients;69. 42％ of the respondents thought the workplace violence were unavoidable and 87. 31％ of the respond-ents considered that the top measures that can be taken to prevent the workplace violence was "the correct media o-rientation";the main coping methods of medical staffs were patience explanation and forbearance,and after suffering workplace violence,the medical staffs would feel grievances,anger,declining enthusiasm for work and even didn't want to do medical care. The main measures that the hospital had taken to prevent workplace violence mainly in-cluded the security patrol,installing cameras in wards and keeping light bright at night in working area. Conclu-sions:Workplace violence is common among medical staffs. To prevent and control hospital workplace violence,it is recommended that:① Hospital employ more security personals and should particularly strengthen security work in high - risk period,high - risk departments;②it should strengthen the training of medical staff on the prevention and control of workplace violence and strengthen popularization of the relevant legal knowledge to the client;③it should strengthen the communication and cooperation with media and promote the correct media orientation;④it should smooth the patient feedback channels and timely correct the existing problems.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of fetal cardiac structural abnormalities with chromosomal aneuploidies and copy number variations (CNVs) in amniocytes. METHODS: 328 pregnant women were subjected to fetal ultrasonography and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Based on the fetal heart structure, the subjects were divided into normal (n=273) and abnormal groups (n=55). The detection rates of chromosomal aneuploidies and CNVs were compared between the two groups. Spearman method was used to assess the association between the results and fetal cardiac structural abnormalities. RESULTS: The detection rates for chromosomal aneuploidies and CNVs in the abnormal group were significantly higher than that in the normal group (P< 0.05), and the incidence of fetal cardiac structural abnormalities was strongly associated with chromosomal aneuploidies and CNVs (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION Fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and CNVs are strongly associated with cardiac structural abnormalities.

Objective To investigate the core competence of nurses in class Ⅲ grade A level hospitals in Xi′an City and its influencing factors so as to provide evidences for managers to enhance the core competence of clinical nurses and promote the quality and safety of nursing.Methods A total of 890 registered nurses from class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Xi′an city were investigated using "the competency inventory for registered nurse scale" (CIRN) from July to September 2015. Statistical software SPSS 19.0 was used to analyze the data. Influencing factors of the core competence of nurses were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. Results The total score of core competences of clinical registered nurses was (159.12±33.21). The dimension with highest score was ethical/legal practice ability with an average score of (3.01±0.64). The dimension with lowest score was critical thinking/scientific research ability with an average score of (2.70±0.67). The scores of nurses from emergency and critical care were higher than those of nurses from general departments in the dimensions including clinical nursing,interpersonal relationship,ethical/legal practice, professional development and critical thinking/research ability. The differences were statistically significant (Z=-3.496, -2.688,-3.727,-2.969,-3.911;P＜0.05). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that technical title, age, department training, and professional qualification were influencing factors of the nurses′ core competence (P＜0.05).Conclusions The core competence of registered nurses in class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Xi′an city is at above medium level. The scores of nurses from emergency and critical care are higher than nurses from general departments in several dimensions. Age, technical title, department training and professional qualification are main influencing factors of core competence of nurses. Interventions to improve the core competency of nurses with low grade, low technical title and non-specialist qualification are necessary.

Objective To compare the effects of different stent configurations on shunt failure,hepatic encephalopathy,and hepatic myelopathy after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).Methods From March 2014 to June 2015,the clinical data of 73 hospitalized,patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria,and underwent TIPS for upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by cirrhotic portal hypertension were retrospectively analyzed.According to the stent configuration during operation,patients were divided into simple coated stent group (hepatic vein,portal vein and hepatic parenchyma coated stent,23 cases),simulated Viatorr stent group (hepatic vein and hepatic parenchyma coated stent plus portal vein bare stent,27 cases) and combined stent group (hepatic vein and portal vein hare stent plus hepatic parenchyma coated stent,23 cases).Patients were followed up for one year,the incidences of shunt failure,hepatic encephalopathy and hepatic myelopathy within one year after TIPS of three groups were compared.Chi-square test,Fisher exact probability method and variance analysis were performed for comparison among groups.Cox regression analysis was used for difference analysis in imbalance of variables and incidence of outcome events among the three groups.Results The portal vein pressure gradient of simple coated stent group,simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group decreased from (22.15±4.52),(23.01±5.48) and (21.13±4.49) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) to (9.15±2.94),(11.20±3.27) and (8.75+4.06) mmHg after operation,respectively.Before and after operation,the differences in portal venous pressure gradient were statistically significant of three groups (t=10.488,7.188 and 7.850,all P＜0.05).The shunt failure rates of simple coated stent group,simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group were 13.0％ (3/23),18.5％ (5/27) and 30.4％ (7/23),respectively.The results of Cox regression analysis indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in shunt failure rates among different stent configurations after TIPS (P=0.339).The incidences of hepatic encephalopathy of simple coated stent group,simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group postoperative were 69.6％ (16/23),33.3％ (9/27) and 30.4％ (7/23),respectively,the difference was not statistically significant among the three groups (P＞ 0.05).The results of Cox regression analysis showed that the relative ratio values (95％ confidence interval) of incidence of postoperative hepatic encephalopathy of simple coated stent group compared with simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group were 2.901 (1.279 to 6.584) and 2.735 (1.123 to 6.658),and the differences were statistically significant (both P＜0.05).The incidences of hepatic myelopathy of simple coated stent group,simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group were 8.7％ (2/23),3.7％ (1/27) and 4.3％ (1/23),respectively,and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hepatic myelopathy among three groups after operation (P＞0.05).During one-year follow-up,among 73 patients,two patients died,one in simple coated stent group and the other in combined stent group.The one-year survival rate after TIPS was 97.3％.Conclusions One year after operation,the incidences of shunt failure are similar between simple coated stent group,simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group.One year after operation,the incidence of hepatic encephalopathy is similar between simulated Viatorr stent group and combined stent group which are both lower than that of simple coated stent.The incidence of hepatic myelopathy is low,and its association with TIPS remains to be further investigated.

Objective:To analyze the clinical data of children with active lupus nephritis(LN) with poor first-line treatment and further treatment with belimumab, and explore the efficacy and safety of belimumab in the treatment of children with LN, so as to provide experience and guidance for clinical treatment of children with LN.Methods:From August 2020 to September 2021, 12 children with LN whose systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index(SLEDAI)score was ≥8 and with poor first-line treatment were collected, and their clinical manifestations, treatment process, SLEDAI score, complement C3, complement C4, anti-dsDNA antibody titer, and proteinuria relief were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Before treatment with belimumab, the SLEDAI score was 8 in 3 cases, 10 in 5 cases, 12 in 2 cases and 16 in 2 cases.Theurine protein was positive in 6 cases.The anti-dsDNA antibody titer was higher than normal value in 8 cases.The complement C3 decreased in 8 cases and the complement C4 decreased in 6 cases.The SLEDAI scores and the anti-dsDNA antibody of 12 children and 24-hour urine protein quantification of 6 children with positive urine protein began to decrease within 4 weeks after treatment with belimumab.Anti-dsDNA antibody decreased to normal in 12th week and 24 h urine protein decreased to normal in 16th week.The levels of complement C3 and C4 began to rise within 4 weeks, complement C3 returned to normal within 24 weeks, and complement C4 returned to normal within 28 weeks.Conclusion:For LN children with poor response to first-line therapy or persistent disease activity, the addition of belimumab resulted in increased complement, decreased disease activity index and anti-dsDNA antibody titer, and effective relief of proteinuria.The application of belimumab has a certain effect on active LN children with poor response to first-line therapy, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

To understand the current status of emergency nurses’ patient safety attitude cognition and its influencing factors, 746 emergency nurses from 34 hospitals were investigated with the revised Chinese version of the safety attitude questionnaire. The results showed that the total mean score of patient safety attitude of emergency nurses was (3.98±0.40) points, which was above the middle level. Among them, the mean scores of team cooperation, safety atmosphere, management perception, work satisfaction, working condition, and stress perception were (4.14±0.85) points, (3.85±0.81) points, (3.90±0.81) points, (3.91±0.85) points, (3.86±1.06) points, and (3.89±0.59) points, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that length of service and grade of hospital were the influencing factors of emergency nurses’ patient safety attitude (P<0.05). It is suggested that the managers should incorporate patient safety culture into the training and management of emergency nurses, especially strengthen the safety culture education for junior nurses; the secondary hospital should also focus on enhancing team cooperation training for emergency nurses and improving the working environment of them, so as to reduce unsafe behaviors in nursing work and ensure patients’ safety.
