ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of feedforward control mode on improving occupational burnout among operating room nurses through theoretical research and clinical practice， with a view to promoting their physical and mental health and enhancing the quality of surgical nursing. MethodsA total of 440 operating room nurses from different regions， scales， and nursing experiences in Shaanxi Province from November 2023 to December 2023 were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group， with 220 nurses in each group. While the control group received routine intervention measures， the experimental group introduced a feedforward control mode based on the control group， with “emotional exhaustion，” “depersonalization，”and“personal achievement” as observation indicators. ResultsThe incidence of occupational burnout in the experimental group was 11.4%， while that in the control group was 20.0%. The experimental group showed a significantly lower incidence than the control group （P=0.013）. ConclusionThe feedforward control mode can significantly alleviate nurses’ sense of job burnout， promote the improvement of surgical nursing quality， as well as continuously improve the scientific rigor， advancement， and humanistic nature of nursing services， which is conducive to building a harmonious and efficient nursing team. The spirit of teamwork， reflected in mutual support， mutual trust， and joint efforts for surgical success and patient health， has become an important component of nurses’ professional ethics.

Metabolic diseases characterized by an imbalance in energy homeostasis represent a significant global health challenge. Individuals with metabolic diseases often suffer from complications related to disorders in lipid metabolism, such as obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Understanding core genes involved in lipid metabolism can advance strategies for the prevention and treatment of these conditions. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism that converts saturated fatty acids into monounsaturated fatty acids. SCD1 plays a crucial regulatory role in numerous physiological and pathological processes, including energy homeostasis, glycolipid metabolism, autophagy, and inflammation. Abnormal transcription and epigenetic activation of Scd1 contribute to abnormal lipid accumulation by regulating multiple signaling axes, thereby promoting the development of obesity, NAFLD, diabetes, and cancer. This review comprehensively summarizes the key role of SCD1 as a metabolic hub gene in various (patho)physiological contexts. Further it explores potential translational avenues, focusing on the development of novel SCD1 inhibitors across interdisciplinary fields, aiming to provide new insights and approaches for targeting SCD1 in the prevention and treatment of metabolic diseases.

Objective: To evaluate the dietary quality of residents in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide the basis for future health education and nutrition intervention programs. Methods: A stratified multi-stage random sampling method was used to select residents aged 18 years and older in 6 counties (cities, districts) of Wenzhou City as the study subjects, “24-hour dietary review for 3 consecutive days” was adopted to collect dietary intake, and the diet balance index (DBI_16) scoring method was applied to evaluate the dietary quality. Results: This study analyzed the dietary quality of 406 residents in Wenzhou City, including 197 males (48.52%) and 209 females (51.48%). The majority of the residents were aged 18-44 years (254 residents, 62.56%). The median DBI total score was -31 (interquartile range, 8), and 404 residents had insufficient dietary intake, accounting for 99.51%. The median DBI positive score was 5 (interquartile range, 6), and 288 residents had appropriate dietary intake, accounting for 70.94%. The median DBI negative score was 37 (interquartile range, 6), and 210 residents had a high level of insufficient dietary intake, accounting for 51.72%. Five dietary patterns, namely A, B, C, E and F, were identified, with pattern B being the most dominant, accounting for 75.62% of the total (307 individuals). Patterns D, H, I and G were not observed. Conclusions The dietary quality of the residents surveyed indicates the existence of dietary imbalances, mainly manifesting as inadequate intake. It is recommended to strengthen nutritional and health guidance.

Purpose::Cerebral edema (CE) is the main secondary injury following traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by road traffic accidents (RTAs). It is challenging to be predicted timely. In this study, we aimed to develop a prediction model for CE by identifying its risk factors and comparing the timing of edema occurrence in TBI patients with varying levels of injuries.Methods::This case-control study included 218 patients with TBI caused by RTAs. The cohort was divided into CE and non-CE groups, according to CT results within 7 days. Demographic data, imaging data, and clinical data were collected and analyzed. Quantitative variables that follow normal distribution were presented as mean ± standard deviation, those that do not follow normal distribution were presented as median (Q 1, Q 3). Categorical variables were expressed as percentages. The Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to identify risk factors for CE. Logistic curve fitting was performed to predict the time to secondary CE in TBI patients with different levels of injuries. The efficacy of the model was evaluated using the receiver operator characteristic curve. Results::According to the study, almost half (47.3%) of the patients were found to have CE. The risk factors associated with CE were bilateral frontal lobe contusion, unilateral frontal lobe contusion, cerebral contusion, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and abbreviated injury scale (AIS). The odds ratio values for these factors were 7.27 (95% confidence interval ( CI): 2.08 -25.42, p = 0.002), 2.85 (95% CI: 1.11 -7.31, p = 0.030), 2.62 (95% CI: 1.12 -6.13, p = 0.027), 2.44 (95% CI: 1.25 -4.76, p = 0.009), and 1.5 (95% CI: 1.10 -2.04, p = 0.009), respectively. We also observed that patients with mild/moderate TBI (AIS ≤ 3) had a 50% probability of developing CE 19.7 h after injury (χ 2= 13.82, adjusted R2 = 0.51), while patients with severe TBI (AIS > 3) developed CE after 12.5 h (χ 2= 18.48, adjusted R2 = 0.54). Finally, we conducted a receiver operator characteristic curve analysis of CE time, which showed an area under the curve of 0.744 and 0.672 for severe and mild/moderate TBI, respectively. Conclusion::Our study found that the onset of CE in individuals with TBI resulting from RTAs was correlated with the severity of the injury. Specifically, those with more severe injuries experienced an earlier onset of CE. These findings suggest that there is a critical time window for clinical intervention in cases of CE secondary to TBI.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect and psychological influence of biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training on fecal incontinence after anorectal surgery in children.Methods:A retrospective case-control study.A total of 37 children who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from July 2021 to April 2023 for fecal incontinence after anorectal surgery were collected.Biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training was performed with a Laborie biofeedback therapy device, and pelvic floor muscle contraction function exercise was performed no less than 200 times a day.The anal canal current intensity, basic motion myoelectric value, contractile myoelectric difference and continuous anal contraction time were measured at before treatment, at the end of 1 course, 1 month and 1 year after treatment.Ten healthy children of the same age were selected as the healthy control group.The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used for psychological evaluation at before treatment and 1 year after treatment.Paired sample t test and independent sample t test were used to compare and analyze the results of this study.

Conclusions:Biofeedback pelvic floor muscle training is a reliable and non-invasive method for the treatment of postoperative fecal incontinence after anorectal surgery in children and can effectively relieve the psychological and behavioral problems caused by fecal incontinence in children.

Pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is a discipline that adopts pharmacokinetic research methods and techniques under the guidance of TCM theories to elucidate the dynamic changes in the absorption,distribution,metabolism and excretion of active ingredients,active sites,single-flavour Chinese medicinal and compounded formulas of TCM in vivo.However,the sources and components of TCM are complex,and the pharmacodynamic substances and mechanisms of action of the majority of TCM are not yet clear,so the pharmacokinetic study of TCM is later than that of chemical medicines,and is far more complex than that of chemical medicines,and its development also confronts with challenges.The pharmacokinetic study of TCM originated in the 1950s and has experienced more than 70 years of development from the initial in vivo study of a single active ingredient,to the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of active ingredients,to the pharmacokinetic study of compound and multi-component of Chinese medicine.In recent years,with the help of advanced extraction,separation and analysis technologies,gene-editing animals and cell models,multi-omics technologies,protein purification and structure analysis technologies,and artificial intelligence,etc.,the pharmacokinetics of TCM has been substantially applied in revealing and elucidating the pharmacodynamic substances and mechanisms of action of Chinese medicines,research and development of new drugs of TCM,scientific and technological upgrading of large varieties of Chinese patent medicines,as well as guiding the rational use of medicines in clinics.Pharmacokinetic studies of TCM have made remarkable breakthroughs and significant development in theory,methodology,technology and application.In this paper,the history of the development of pharmacokinetics of TCM and the progress of cutting-edge research was reviewed,with the aim of providing ideas and references for the pharmacokinetics of TCM and related research.

Objective To explore the distribution patterns of tongue and pulse manifestations and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome elements in ischemic stroke(IS)patients of different genders and ages,thus to provide approaches for the prevention and treatment of stroke with TCM.Methods The criteria of six syndrome elements in Diagnostic Scale of Syndrome Elements in Ischemic Stroke were used for the comprehensive identification of syndrome elements in 5 254 cases of inpatients confirmed as IS at the first visit in Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from 2017 to 2023.Moreover,the tongue proper,tongue coating,and whose pulse manifestations ranking in the top five in terms of the frequency of occurrence were collected for comparison and analysis.Results(1)For the distribution of TCM syndrome elements in 5 254 cases of IS patients,phlegm-dampness syndrome was the most common syndrome type(3 544 cases,67.5%),and then came qi deficiency syndrome(653 cases,12.4%)and yin deficiency syndrome(453 cases,8.6%).There were statistically significant differences in the distribution of phlegm-dampness syndrome,internal heat syndrome,and yin deficiency syndrome between the male and the female(P＜0.01).And the distribution of phlegm-dampness syndrome,qi deficiency syndrome,internal wind syndrome,and internal heat syndrome in the youth differed from that in the middle-aged and elderly(P＜0.01).(2)The tongue and pulse manifestations in IS patients with the leading six detection rates which ranked in descending order of frequency of occurrence were as follows:dull tongue(1 993 cases,37.9%),dark red tongue(1 907 cases,36.3%),thin and white coating(1 885 cases,35.9%),wiry and slippery pulse(1 714 cases,32.6%),white and greasy coating(1 679 cases,32.0%),and wiry and thready pulse(1 609 cases,30.6%).The detection rates of tongue and pulse manifestations such as light red tongue,thin and white coating in the youth group were significantly higher than those in the middle-aged and elderly group,and the detection rates of dark red tongue,and tooth-marked tongue in the middle-aged and elderly group were significantly higher than those in the youth group,the differences all being statistically significant(P＜0.05).The female patients had higher detection rates of dull tongue,thin and white coating,thin and yellow coating,wiry and thready pulse,and deep and thready pulse than male patients,while the male patients had higher detection rates of dark red tongue,red tongue,white and greasy coating,yellow and thick-greasy coating,white and thick-greasy coating,wiry and slippery pulse,and slippery pulse than the females,and the differences were all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Higher detection rate of thin and white coating was shown in the youth female than that in the youth male,while higher detection rate of wiry and slippery pulse was shown in the youth male than that in the youth female,and the differences were all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The middle-aged and elderly female patients had higher detection rates of dull tongue,thin and white coating,wiry and thready pulse,and deep and thready pulse than the middle-aged and elderly male patients,while the middle-aged and elderly male patients had higher detection rates of dark red tongue,red tongue,white and greasy coating,white and thick-greasy coating,yellow and thick-greasy coating,wiry and slippery pulse,and slippery pulse than the middle-aged and elderly female patients,the differences being all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Phlegm-dampness syndrome,qi deficiency syndrome,and yin deficiency syndrome exert a significant effect on IS,and phlegm-dampness syndrome is the most common syndrome type.Factors such as gender and age have influences on the distribution of TCM syndrome in patients with IS.

Objective To evaluate the in vitro effect of combinations of 5 β-lactam antibiotics with different β-lac-tamase inhibitors on the activity of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis(MDR-TB),and identify the most effective combination of β-lactam antibiotics and β-lactamase inhibitors against MDR-TB.Methods MDR-TB strains collected in Henan Province Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Project in 2021 were selected.The mini-mum inhibitory concentrations(MIC)of 5 β-lactam antibiotics or combinations with different β-lactamase inhibitors on clinically isolated MDR-TB strains were measured by MIC detection method,and the blaC mutation of the strains was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and DNA sequencing.Results A total of 105 strains of MDR-TB were included in the analysis.MIC detection results showed that doripenem had the highest antibacterial activity against MDR-TB,with a MIC50 of 16 μg/mL.MIC values of most β-lactam antibiotics decreased significantly after combined with β-lactamase inhibitors.A total of 13.33％(n=14)strains had mutations in blaC gene,mainly 3 nu-cleotide substitution mutations,namely AGT333AGG,AAC638ACC and ATC786ATT.BlaC proteins Ser111 Arg and Asn213Thr enhanced the synergistic effect of clavulanic acid/sulbactam and meropenem on MDR-TB compared with synonymous single-nucleotide mutation.Conclusion The combination of doripenem and sulbactam has the strongest antibacterial activity against MDR-TB.Substitution mutations of BlaC protein Ser111 Arg and Asn213Thr enhances the sensitivity of MDR-TB to meropenem through the synergy with clavulanic acid/sulbactam.

Background: Diabetes-induced cardiac fibrosis is one of the main mechanisms of diabetic cardiomyopathy. As a common histone methyltransferase, enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has been implicated in fibrosis progression in multiple organs. However, the mechanism of EZH2 in diabetic myocardial fibrosis has not been clarified. Methods: In the current study, rat and mouse diabetic model were established, the left ventricular function of rat and mouse were evaluated by echocardiography and the fibrosis of rat ventricle was evaluated by Masson staining. Primary rat ventricular fibroblasts were cultured and stimulated with high glucose (HG) in vitro. The expression of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation, EZH2, and myocardial fibrosis proteins were assayed. Results: In STZ-induced diabetic ventricular tissues and HG-induced primary ventricular fibroblasts in vitro, H3K27 trimethylation was increased and the phosphorylation of EZH2 was reduced. Inhibition of EZH2 with GSK126 suppressed the activation, differentiation, and migration of cardiac fibroblasts as well as the overexpression of the fibrotic proteins induced by HG. Mechanical study demonstrated that HG reduced phosphorylation of EZH2 on Thr311 by inactivating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which transcriptionally inhibited peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-γ) expression to promote the fibroblasts activation and differentiation. Conclusion Our data revealed an AMPK/EZH2/PPAR-γ signal pathway is involved in HG-induced cardiac fibrosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of influenza in Hainan province,to provide evidence to support influenza prevention and control efforts.Pathogen monitoring data of influenza-like illness(ILI)in six national sentinel hospitals in Hainan province from 2013 to 2021 were analyzed in SPSS 20.0 software.A total of 50 415 ILI cases were detected during the 2013-2021 season,of which 5 581 were positive for influenza viruses,with a positivity rate of 11.07％.The dominant strains were type B,type A(H1N1)pdm09 and type A(H3N2).The positivi-ty rate of influenza virus was highest in people 5-14 years of age(17.56％)and lowest in people 0-4 years of age(7.32％).Influenza activity showed both a summer peak and a winter-spring peak in the 2014-2016,2017-2018 and 2019-2020 sea-sons,and was concentrated in April to September,with a maximum peak of 53.64％,and in November to March of the next year,with a peak of 47.30％.The 2013-2014,2016-2017 and 2018-2019 seasons showed only a winter-spring peak concen-trated between October and March of the next year,with a maximum peak of 54.17％,but no obvious summer peak.The pre-dominant influenza viruses during the eight surveillance seasons varied among H1N1,H3N2 and type B.The positive detection rate of influenza virus steeply declined during the 2020-2021 season:the positive detection rate was only 0.25％,and no obvi-ous epidemic period was observed.The intensity of influenza epidemic varied among monitoring years,and the dominant strains changed rapidly in Hainan Province.People 5-14 years of age were the key population affected.Summer,winter and spring were the key periods for influenza prevention and control.Etiological surveillance of influenza should continue to be strength-ened,the roles of health education and publicity should be emphasized,and the dual measures of influenza vaccination and non-drug intervention should be actively promoted to decrease the occurrence of influenza.
