Objective To investigate and analyze the status of nursing undergraduate students ’ professional attitude and subjective well-being and related factors, so as to provide a scientific basis for college nursing students based on the importance of professional training to enhance their value orientation of subjective well-being.Methods The general well-being scale and a self-designed questionnaire were used among 385 undergraduate nursing students, who were recruited from Grade 2011, 2012 and 2013 in our school. Results The score of subject well-being of the 385 undergraduate nursing students was (75.25 ±16.89), which was significantly higher than (72.4 ±16.7) of the norm (t =7.47,P <0.01).The undergraduate nursing students had a high professional recognition and a strong sense of subjective well-being.Stepwise regression analysis showed that their understanding to the nature of the nursing profession, prospects for nursing professional, and the awareness of the importance of undergraduate nursing education were main influence factors of subjective well-being.Conclusions The professional attitude of nursing undergraduate students can be served as a good predictor of subjective well-being.Schools should continue to improve, enrich nursing teaching forms to guide undergraduate nursing students to correctly understand the nature of nursing and professional and to help nursing students to enhance their professional satisfaction and their subjective well-being.

A lean management practice had been in place in Taizhou Enze Medical Center during the COVID-19 epidemic period, featuring the " principle-system-tool" theory of the Shingo model, in an effort to build a new model of COVID-19 prevention and control. The center upheld such five principles of lean management as overall planning, total involvement, system collaboration, concern with process and continuous improvement, and people-oriented practice. Under such principles, the center set up five supportive systems of lean management tools, namely risk identification, rapid screening, homogeneous treatment, customized follow-up and employee care. Integrated use of multiple tools of lean management, had improved the hospital′s crisis response ability, achieving desirable outcomes in stages in combating COVID-19 epidemic.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors for survival in elderly patients with glioma.Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of prognostic factors for elderly patients with glioma,who were treated by the same attending doctor during June 2014 and June 2016,to investigate the correlations of the age,dimension of pathology,histological grade,extent of resection,adjuvant therapy,preoperative Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score,postoperative KPS score,molecular markers [isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDHH-1),O6-methylguanine DNA-transferase (MGMT),epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),Ki-67] with the prognosis.Results:A total of 45 patients were included in the study.The median overall survival (OS) was 11 months.The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 6 months.Univariate analysis revealed that the age,gender,dimension ofpathology,histological grade and preoperative KPS score had no significant correlation with survival (P>0.05).The gross total resection,higher postoperative KPS score,adjuvant therapy,lower Ki-67 index were significantly correlated with survival.The expressions of MGMT and EGFR were significant factors for survival.High postoperative KPS score (P=0.019),adjuvant therapy (P=0.024),and the expression of MGMT (P=0.026) were independent predictors for increased median OS in a multivariate regression model.Conclusion:The extent of resection,adjuvant therapy,postoperative KPS score and molecular markers are the influential factors for survival.Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness and safety of Shenlong Dingji Formula (参龙定悸方) on the quality of life in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome. MethodsA total of 60 patients with PAF of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome were recruited and randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 30 patients in each group. The control group received standard western medicine treatment, while the treatment group was additionally given Shenlong Dingji Formula orally, one dose per day. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks. The primary outcome measure is the Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) score including scores of four dimensions,i.e. atrial fibrillation-related symptoms, treatment concerns, daily activities, and treatment satisfaction. The secondary outcome measures included the frequency and duration of symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores covering symptoms such as palpitations, chest tightness, fatigue, shortness of breath, reluctance to speak, spontaneous sweating, stabbing pain, and insomnia. These indicators were assessed at baseline (before treatment), after 2-week of treatment, after 4-week of treatment, and 4 weeks after the end of treatment (follow-up). Additionally, safety indicators before and after treatment and adverse events occurring during the trial were recorded to evaluate safety. ResultsA total of 56 patients completed the study, with 28 in each group. Primary outcome indicators: 1) the treatment group showed significant improvement in the total score of the AFEQT scale, with significantly higher total scores after 2-week treatment, 4-week treatment, and follow-up compared to the previous time point (P<0.05). In the control group, the AFEQT score significantly increased only after 4-week treatment compared to baseline (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the AFEQT scores after 2-week, 4-week treatment, and during follow-up were all higher than those of the control group at the corresponding time points (P<0.01). 2) In the treatment group, there was no statistically significant difference in the AFEQT treatment satisfaction dimension score during follow-up compared to that after 4-week treatment (P>0.05). However, the scores for all other dimensions at each time point were higher than those at the previous time point (P<0.05). In the control group, the scores for the atrial fibrillation-related symptom dimension were higher after 2-week and 4-week treatment than those of the previous time points (P<0.05). For the treatment satisfaction dimension, significant increases were observed only after 2-week and 4-week treatment compared to baseline (P<0.05). Secondary outcome indicators: 1) In the treatment group, the frequency and duration of symptomatic atrial fibrillation episodes decreased significantly at each time point compared to the previous time point (P<0.05), except for the duration of trial fibrillation at follow-up. In the control group, the frequency of episodes decreased significantly at all time points compared to baseline (P<0.05), while the duration of trial fibrillation showed a significant reduction at follow-up compared to those after 2-week treatment (P<0.05). 2) In the treatment group, TCM syndrome scores significantly reduced after 2-week treatment, 4-week treatment, and during follow-up compared to the previous time point and baseline (P<0.05). In the control group, significant reductions were observed only after 4-week after treatment and during follow-up (P<0.05). The TCM syndrome scores in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group at the same time points (P<0.01). No adverse events occurred during the trial in either group, and safety indicators showed no significant changes after treatment. ConclusionShenlong Dingji Formula effectively improves the quality of life, alleviates TCM syndromes, and reduces the frequency and duration of symptomatic atrial fibrillation in patients with PAF of qi-yin deficiency and phlegm-stasis obstructing collaterals syndrome, and demonstrates good safety.
