Objective To investigate the incidence of atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS), the relationship between ARAS and cerebral artery stenosis, and the risk of ARAS in patients with brain infarction. Methods The clinical data of 1 650 brain infarction patients were analyzed, which were carried out digital subtraction angiography(DSA) of cerebral and renal artery.The incidence of ARAS was counted out, and the relationship was analyzed between the different degree and number of cerebral artery stenosis and the rate of RAS. The demographic characteristics and the common risk factors of atherosclerosis were recorded, and the risk factors of ARAS were analyzed. Results The rate of ARAS in moderate stenosis group and severe stenosis and occlusion group of cerebral artery were all significantly higher than that in mild stenosis group and no stenosis group (all P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS in severe stenosis and occlusion group were significantly significantly higher than those in moderate stenosis group (P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS in 2 branch stenosis group and ≥3 branch stenosis group were both significantly higher than those in no stenosis group and 1 branch stenosis group (P < 0.01). The rates of ARAS of ≥3 branch stenosis group were significantly higher than those in 2 branch stenosis group (P<0.05). The rate of ARAS of 1 branch stenosis group were significantly higher than those in no stenosis group (P < 0.05). Age, hypertension, moderate or more artery stenosis or occlusion, and≥2 branch stenosis was independent risk factor of ARAS. Conclusions The incidence of ARAS increasesd with the increase of the degree of cerebral artery stenosis and the number of branch involved.Older age, hypertension, moderate or more artery stenosis or occlusion, and≥2 branch stenosis is risk factor for ARAS.

Objective:To explore the effect of communication competence and psychological resilience on job burnout among Operating Room nurses.Methods:From March to June 2023, randomized clustering sampling was used to select 138 registered Operating Room nurses from four ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Taizhou for investigation. The survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, Operating Room Nurses' Job Stressor Scale, Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Nurses' Clinic Communication Competence Scale, and Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey. Hierarchical linear regression analysis was used to explore the effects of communication competence and psychological resilience on job burnout among Operating Room nurses.Results:A total of 138 questionnaires were sent out, and 133 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 96.38% (133/138). Among 133 Operating Room nurses, the job burnout score was (56.35±9.28), and the communication competence, psychological resilience, and work stress scale scores were (196.71±18.92), (78.09±18.31), and (96.37±22.47), respectively. Pearson correlation showed that job burnout among Operating Room nurses was negatively correlated with psychological resilience ( r=-0.475, P<0.01) and communication competence ( r=-0.241, P<0.01), and positively correlated with work stress ( r=0.360, P<0.01). Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that, after controlling for other variables, psychological resilience and communication competence were the influencing factors of job burnout among Operating Room nurses ( P<0.01), which could explain 17.70% of the variation. Conclusions:The level of job burnout among Operating Room nurses is relatively high, and psychological resilience and communication competence are independent influencing factors. Managers can provide psychological counseling and support services for Operating Room nurses, offer communication competence training programs, and prevent and reduce job burnout among Operating Room nurses.

Objective:To analyze clinical factors related to nosocomial infection in children with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)support.Methods:General data, infection data and relevant factors in children with ECMO support in Bayi Children′s Hospital, the 7 th Medical Center of People′s Liberation Army General Hospital and Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from September 2012 to February 2020 were reviewed.Relevant factors of nosocomial infection in them were analyzed. Results:Among 163 cases, 36(22.1%) children supported with ECMO had infections during the period of ECMO, and 72 pathogenic microorganisms were detected, including 67 bacteria (33 Acinetobacter baumannii, 21 Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 6 Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and 5 fungi.Pathogens from the respiratory system, blood system, urinary tract and abdominal cavity were detected in 45 cases(62.5%), 25 cases (34.7%), 1 case (1.4%), and 1 case (1.4%), respectively.Drug sensitivity analysis of the Acinetobacter baumannii showed that it was the extensively resistant strain.Compared with uninfected children supported with ECMO, ECMO support time[(10.0±6.7) d], hospitalization[(34.0±25.3) d], hospitalization cost[(234 368±113 234) yuan], preoperative oxygenation index(52.8±23.0) and lactate value[(9.6±5.9) mmol/L]were significantly higher in nosocomial infection ones[(4.6±3.2) d, (24.3±19.8) d, (161 416±65 847) yuan, 35.6±10.4, (5.6±5.4) mmol/L] supported with ECMO (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the mortality between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In addition, lactate level (9.8 mmol/L) and oxygenation index (36.0±12.7) were significantly higher in died children(2.7 mmol/L, 22.1±10.4) with nosocomial infection during the period of ECMO support than those of survivors (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ECMO support time( OR=7.054, 95% CI: 2.206-25.525) and preoperative lactate value( OR=2.250, 95% CI: 1.378-4.611) were independent risk factors of nosocomial infection. Conclusions:Correcting underlying diseases of ECMO supporting and shortening the duration of ECMO can reduce the incidence and mortality of nosocomial infection in children who are supported with ECMO.

Objective:To understand the symptoms of diarrhea of residents in Tianjin and their willingness to vaccinate, to provide reference for health education, prevention and control of infectious diarrhea.Methods:Cross-sectional study design was adopted. From September to December 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted among some residents as subjects in Nankai District, Beichen District, Baodi District and Binhai Area of Tianjin by multistage stratified cluster random sampling,to collect information such as sociodemographic characteristics, diarrhea symptoms and vaccination intention. According to the formula n=[ u2απ (1 - π)]/ δ2, the estimated sample size was 3 458 cases. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors related to the willingness of the respondents to receive diarrhea vaccination. The software SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 3 808 subjects were investigated, with the male-to-female ratio as 1∶1.11 (1 806∶2 002), the age was (42.48±21.59) years old, and the education level of middle school or below accounted for 50.84% (1 936/3 808). The incidence rate of diarrhea was 18.28% (696/3 808), and 48.84% (1 860/3 808) were willing to be vaccinated with diarrhea vaccine. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the age was 15-59 years old and ≥60 years old (a OR=2.31, 95% CI:1.80-2.96; a OR=1.66, 95% CI:1.38-2.00), lived in Binhai Area (a OR=2.09, 95% CI:1.62-2.71), and those who knew that community health service centers can provide the vaccination (a OR=1.61,95% CI:1.34-1.92), those who walked from the address to the community health service center were less than 15 minutes (a OR=1.54, 95% CI:1.28-1.85), those who often travel or on business (a OR=1.36, 95% CI:1.07-1.73), and those who actively obtained health care information related to diarrhea prevention when going abroad (a OR=1.69,95% CI:1.43-1.98) were more willing to be vaccinated against diarrhea. Conclusions:The incidence of diarrhea symptoms of residents was slightly higher in Tianjin, but they were less willing to be vaccinated against diarrhea. People who often go outside and go abroad were more willing to be vaccinated against diarrhea. It is suggested that the popular science propaganda and health education of diarrhea vaccine should be effectively carried out by using network platform in community.
