Respiratory diseases(e.g.,lung inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis)are a serious threat to human health.Mitochondria,organelles unique to eukaryotic cells,not only have important functions in energy production,biosynthesis,and the maintenance of intracellular homeostasis but also act as diverse signaling organelles involved in inflammation,proliferation,differentiation,cell repair,and other processes.The mitochondrial quality control system involves mitochondrial biogenesis,dynamics,and autophagy.Certain pathological mechanisms of respiratory diseases,such as oxidative stress and inflammation,are closely related to the dysregulation of mitochondrial quality control systems.This paper summarizes the progress of research into mitochondrial quality control dysregulation in respiratory diseases(chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,pulmonary fibrosis,acute lung injury,asthma,and bacterial pneumonia)to explore new ideas for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases.

Objective:To investigate the mental health status and psychological intervention needs in community health service staff during the outbreak of COVID-19.Methods:From February 28 to March 2, 2020, a total of 554 questionnaires on the mental health status and psychological intervention needs were collected from community health service staff in Beijing, Zhejiang, Hebei and Shanghai. The mental health was assessed by physical symptoms and GAD-7. The status and effectiveness of psychological intervention was analyzed.Results:The survey found that 19.7% (109/554) of community health service staff needed psychological support. Most psychological supports were received from colleagues′ encouragement (59.6%, 330/554) and internet mental health knowledge (41.2%, 228/554); in contrast, less from group intervention (5.8%, 32/554) and one-on-one counseling (5.6%, 31/554). Higher proportion of staff with anxiety symptoms and physical symptoms needed psychological support than that without symptoms (χ 2=53.41, 71.47), and a higher proportion of responders thought that the existing psychological intervention was not helpful (χ 2=26.89, 17.79), the difference is statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:It is necessary to strengthen the mental health assessment of community health service staff and give effective psychological intervention according to their needs during the outbreak of COVID-19.

Objective To investigate gender differences of plasma glial cell line-derived neurotro-phic factor (GDNF) levels in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods MDD subjects (male 20,female 36) and healthy controls (HCs) (male 35,female 45) were divided into four groups by gender. Plasma levels of GDNF were measured and compared in different gender groups. The clinical symp-tom severity of MDD patients was evaluated by 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) and Hamil-ton Anxiety Scale (HAMA-17). Results (1)The plasma GDNF level in male patients with major depres-sive disorder (( 1. 55 ± 0. 43 ) pg/ml ) was significantly lower than that in healthy controls (( 1. 86 ± 0. 50)pg/ml,F=4. 64,P=0. 036). There was no significant difference in GDNF level between female de-pression patients((1.62±0.46)pg/ml)) and female healthy control((1. 64±0. 48)pg/ml,F=0. 18,P=0. 672). In HCs,the GDNF level of male was significantly higher than that of female((1. 86±0. 50)pg/ml, (1. 64±0. 48)pg/ml,F=2. 04,P=0. 045). There was no significant difference in GDNF level between male and female patients(P>0. 05). (2) GDNF level in male patients with major depressive disorder was nega-tively correlated with HAMA score(r=-0. 388,P=0. 034). Conclusion The expression of GDNF is affect-ed by sex factors,which may be related to the different pathogenesis of MDD.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of anticoagulant therapy for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in Beijing community health centers and to analyze the affecting factors.Methods:From September to December 2020, 164 patients with NVAF in five community health service centers in Xicheng District of Beijing were selected for a face-to-face questionnaire survey. The questionnaire included basic information of patients, complications, CHA 2DS 2-VASc score, HAS-BLED score and oral anticoagulant therapy, et al. SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the status of anticoagulant therapy in patients with different risk stratification of stroke, and chi-square was used to analyze the factors affecting anticoagulant therapy in high-risk patients with stroke. Results:In 161 NVAF patients with indication, 86 received anticoagulation therapy (53.4%), and the utilization rates of rivaroxaban, dabigatran and warfarin were 64.0% (55/86), 26.7% (23/86) and 9.3% (8/86), respectively. In 140 patients (85.4%, 140/164) at high risk of stroke (CHA 2DS 2-VASc score ≥2 points in males or ≥3 points in females), 30.0% (42/140) had never received anticoagulant therapy, and 29.3% (41/140) was treated with antiplatelet therapy, 17.1% (24/140) did not use any antithrombotic medication. Univariate analysis showed that gender, age, symptoms at first diagnosis and complications were not significantly associated with the application of anticoagulant therapy in NVAF patients at high-risk of stoke ( P>0.05). The qualitative study showed that the reasons for not receiving anticoagulant therapy were spontaneous cardioversion or recovery of sinus rhythm after ablation (15 cases), adverse drug reactions (7 cases), self-withdrawal of drugs (10 cases), concern about bleeding (3 cases) and so on. Conclusion:A large proportion of NVAF patients in the community are at high risk of stroke, while the overall rate of anticoagulant treatment is relatively low. Clinician in the community should actively initiate anticoagulant therapy for patients with AF and strengthen the continuous management and compliance management of anticoagulant therapy.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge status and health education needs of patients with atrial fibrillation in the community.Methods:From September to December 2020, 277 patients with atrial fibrillation from 5 community health service centers in Xicheng District of Beijing were selected using typical sampling method for online questionnaire survey. The questionnaire mainly contained basic information of patients, the knowledge of atrial fibrillation and the health education needs. Factors affecting patients′ knowledge level and health education needs were analyzed.Results:The overall awareness rate of disease-related knowledge in 277 patients with atrial fibrillation was 67.1% (1 860/2 770), and in aspects of antithrombotic effect of aspirin [12.3% (34/277)], the benefits and risks of anticoagulation therapy [52.7% (146/277)] and atrial fibrillation discontinuation [55.2% (153/277)], the awareness rates were relatively low. Compared with patients in the age group of 66-79 years and ≥80 years old, those aged ≤65 years had higher awareness rates in knowledge of purpose of anticoagulantion therapy [89.7% (70/78)] and adverse reactions of anticoagulation drugs [89.7% (70/78)] (χ2=6.72, 8.77; P<0.05), but the awareness rate of the benefits and harms of anticoagulation therapy [43.6% (34/78)] was lower (χ2=6.11, P<0.05). The top three health education needs of patients were the impact of atrial fibrillation on the body (3.66±1.77), the method of treating atrial fibrillation (3.65±1.13) and the prognosis with different treatments (3.62±1.15). Further analysis showed that in patients with disease duration ≤5 years, the education needs for the purpose of anticoagulation therapy (3.60±1.17), exercise methods (3.62±1.12), dietary taboos (3.63±1.16), and how to communicate with family and friends(3.33±1.29) were higher than those with a disease duration of more than 5 years ( t=2.03, 2.88, 2.05, 2.07; P<0.05). Doctors [98.6% (273/277)], nurses [40.8% (113/277)] and health education lectures [36.8% (102/277)] were the main sources for patients to acquire knowledge about atrial fibrillation. Most patients had the strongest motivation to obtain health education at the time of disease diagnosis [70.0% (194/277)]. Conclusions:There is insufficient understanding of the disease in patients with atrial fibrillation in the community, and the needs for patients to get health education are high. It is necessary to pay more attention to the early health education in patients with younger age and shorter course of disease.

Objective:To explore the effect of precision nursing based on evidence-based concept in the perioperative period of patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) .Methods:From January 2018 to December 2020, 200 TKA patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. The patients were divided into the control group and the observation group according to simple random sampling with 100 cases in each group. The control group adopted routine nursing, while the observation group conducted precise nursing based on evidence-based concept on the basis of the control group. The incidence of postoperative complications and knee function between the two groups were compared.Results:The incidence of complications in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . At one, three and six months after operation, the knee function score of New York Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) in both groups showed an upward trend. The HSS scores of the observation group at one, three, six months after operation were higher than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The precision nursing based on the evidence-based concept has a definite effect in the perioperative nursing of patients with TKA, which can reduce complications and improve the knee function.

Objective A rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was constructed using a single or two intratracheal drops of bleomycin(BLM)and the modeling rate and stability of the two modeling modalities were compared.Methods A total of 150 specific pathogen-free SD rats were divided randomly into blank control(control),single intratracheal drop of bleomycin(BLM-S),and two intratracheal drops of bleomycin(BLM-M)groups.Rats in the BLM-S group received a single dose of 3 mg/kg BLM by noninvasive intratracheal instillation,and rats in BLM-M group received 3 mg/kg BLM on day 1 and BLM 2 mg/kg on day 14.Rats in the control group were given intratracheal instillation of 0.9%sodium chloride(1 mL/kg).The rats were euthanized on days 28,42,56,and 84 after modelling,respectively.Deep inspiratory capacity(IC),vital capacity(VC),static lung compliance(Cchord),and dynamic lung complication(Cdyn)were measured in all rats.Pathological changes in lung tissue were observed,and the extent of alveolitis and fibrosis was graded.Collagen-Ⅲ(COL-Ⅲ)expression in rat lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results(1)The survival rates in the control,BLM-S,and BLM-M groups were 100%,80%,and 66%,respectively.Rats in the BLM-S and BLM-M groups had significantly lower body weights on days 14~42 compared with the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01),and rats in the BLM-M group had significantly lower body weight on days 28~42 than rats in the control and BLM-S groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).(2)Regarding lung function,IC,VC,Cchord,and Cdyn were all markedly decreased in the BLM-S group compared with the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01)and IC,VC,and Cchord were significantly decreased in the BLM-M group(P<0.05,P<0.01)on day 28.IC,VC,and Cchord were significantly decreased in rats in the BLM-S group on day 42(P<0.05,P<0.01),and were also significantly decreased in rats in the BLM-M group on days 42~84(P<0.05,P<0.01).(3)In terms of lung pathology,inflammatory infiltration and fibrous cords appeared in the BLM-S group from days 28~84 and then gradually decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),while fibrosis and alveolitis were relatively stable in the BLM-M group(P<0.05,P<0.01).(4)COL-Ⅲ expression levels in lung tissue were significantly higher in rats in the BLM-S and BLM-M groups compared with the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the COL-Ⅲ content in the BLM-S group was significantly lower at 42~84 days than at 28 days(P<0.05).Conclusions Both method are capable of effectively creating pulmonary fibrosis models.The single-dose approach is straightforward,has a lower death rate,and the degree of fibrosis is clearly visible by day 28,but progressively recovers after 42 days.In contrast,the two-dose instillation model has a greater success rate and better stability,with over half the rats still exhibiting visible fibrosis on day 84.
