Objective:To explore the application value of right modified myocardial work index (Mod-RMPI) in assessing fetal right ventricular function in assisted reproductive technology (ART).Methods:Sixty-four fetuses conceived by assisted reproduction (ART group) and 80 fetuses with spontaneously conceived (SC) pregnancies (control group) from November 2021 to February 2022 underwent echocardiography in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled, gestational ranges from 20 to 28 weeks. The differences of Mod-RMPI, tricuspid valve E/A ratio (TV-E/A) were compared between the ART group and the control group; The correlation between maternal age, body mass index (BMI), pregnancy, and delivery and Mod-RMPI in the ART group was analyzed by applying multiple linear regression analysis; The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to test the predictive efficacy of Mod-RMPI for adverse pregnancy outcomes.Results:①Compared with the control group, Mod-RMPI, isovolumetric relaxation time(IRT), isovolumetric contraction time(ICT) and BMI were increased in ART group with statistically significant difference, ventricular ejection time (ET) were decreased, the difference was (all P<0.05). But there were no significant differences in total spent time (TST) and TV-E/A compared with the control group ( P>0.05). ②There were no correlations between maternal age, BMI, gravidity, and times of bearing birth and Mod-RMPI ( P>0.05). ③The ROC curve analysis showed the area under the curve of Mod-RMPI for predicting adverse pregnancy outcome was 0.748, the optimal cut-off value was 0.465, the sensitivity was 0.778, and the specificity was 0.608. Conclusions:ART can affect fetal right ventricular function.Mod-RMPI has good consistency and repeatability, and has certain value in predicting adverse pregnancy outcome.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the psychological stress response of clinical nurses and hospital violence and ability empathy.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 300 clinical nurses in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were selected as the research objects from March to June 2021. Nurses were surveyed using the Hospital Violence Incidents Inventory, Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) . Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between psychological stress response of clinical nurses and hospital violence and empathy ability. Stepwise regression analysis was used to explore the effect of hospital violence and empathy ability on predicting nurses' psychological stress response. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed, 291 were recovered and 279 were valid.Results:The overall incidence of hospital violence among clinical nurses within 1 year was 58.1% (162/279) . There were statistically significant differences in scores of each dimension of psychological stress response of clinical nurses with different gender and education levels ( P<0.05) . The total score of psychological stress response was correlated with the total number of violent incidents, the number of verbal injuries and the number of threats in the past year ( P<0.05) . The severity of physical conflict, imagination, number of threats were positively correlated with psychological stress response ( P<0.01) , and females had more stress response ( P<0.01) . Opinion-taking was negatively correlated with psychological stress response ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Clinical nurses may have a certain degree of psychological stress response after being subjected to hospital violence, which is more likely to occur in women, and empathy is a protective factor against this response.

Objective:To establish a classification system for the repair band in the subchondral bone origination point in MRI for traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and preliminarily explore the correlation between this classification and the progression of femoral head collapse.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 cases of traumatic ON-FH treated at the Quanzhou Orthopedic-traumatological hospital from January 2000 to December 2019. Among them, there were 46 males and 27 females with an average age of 34.9±8.3 years (range 19-55 years). Clinical and radiological data such as age, gender, side, fracture classification, reduction quality, JIC classification, and bone repair band (BRB) classification were recorded. The progression of traumatic ONFH was assessed using the ARCO staging system, with stages IIIA and IIIB defined as mild collapse and progressive collapse, respectively. The BRB classification was established based on MRI findings, and the inter- and intra-observer consistency of the BRB classification was analyzed using Kappa test. The correlation between the BRB classification and progressive femoral head collapse was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and binary variable Cox regression analysis.Results:According to the BRB classification, 73 cases were divided into type 1 with superficial lesion in 38.4%, type 2 with uncertain lesion in 21.9%, and type 3 with extensive lesion in 39.7%. The inter-observer consistency Kappa value for the BRB classification was 0.798, and the intra-observer consistency Kappa value was 0.896, indicating a high level of consistency. A follow-up of 73 cases (54.8±34.9 months, range 24-165 months) showed a significant correlation between the BRB classification and ARCO staging at the last follow-up (χ 2=37.556, P<0.001), with progression to stages IIIA and IIIB as follows: type 1 had 3 and 1 cases, type 2 had 4 and 1 cases, and type 3 had 14 and 12 cases, respectively. Using the occurrence of progressive collapse (stage IIIB) as the endpoint, the risk of progression to stage IIIB for type 2 was not statistically different from type 1 [ HR=1.766, 95% CI (0.465, 6.702), P=0.403]; the risk of progression to stage IIIB for type 3 was significantly higher than for type 1 [ HR=15.126, 95% CI (4.708, 48.592), P<0.001]. Conclusion:The BRB classification is closely related to the progression of traumatic ONFH and is an independent risk factor for predicting the occurrence of progressive collapse; this classification is helpful for early diagnosis and predicting the progression of collapse and treatment plan decision-making.

Objective:To understand the loss to follow-up of children born to pregnant women with HIV infection (HIV-exposed children) and analyze its influencing factors in China in 2019.Methods:The data were collected from the follow-up records of pregnant women with HIV infection and their children reported by the national "Management Information System for the Prevention of HIV, syphilis and Hepatitis B Mother-to-Child Transmission" in 2019. HIV-exposed children were defined as those who were not followed up after birth or who were not followed up at 18 months of age and who were not followed up at 21 months of age. The univariate and multivariate influencing factors of loss to follow-up of children born to HIV-infected pregnant women were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression model. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results:The number of HIV-infected pregnant women was 5 039, the number of live-born children was 5 035, the number of loss to follow-up children within 18 months of age was 283, and the loss to follow-up rate children was 5.62%(283/5 035). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the rate of loss to follow-up of exposed children born to pregnant women who worked as farmers (animal husbandry and fishery) (a OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.22-0.53), unmarried (a OR=0.47, 95% CI: 0.24-0.93), first marriage (a OR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.22-0.67), remarriage (a OR=0.36, 95% CI: 0.20-0.67) and cohabiting (a OR=0.47, 95% CI: 0.23-0.97), and knew they had HIV infection before this pregnancy (a OR=0.53, 95% CI: 0.40-0.70) was lower. Han nationality (a OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.09-2.13), primary school (a OR=2.06, 95% CI: 1.10-3.89) and junior middle school (a OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.03-3.17) educational level, non-use of antiviral drugs (a OR=6.21, 95% CI: 4.32-8.93) and delivery in township (street) level midwifery institutions (a OR=5.72, 95% CI: 1.61-20.27) had higher rates of loss to follow-up among infants born to HIV-infected pregnant women. Conclusions:HIV-exposed children still have a specific rate of loss to follow-up in China in 2019. In order to further reduce the rate of loss to follow-up, it is of great significance to improve the detection rate of HIV before pregnancy and the rate of antiviral drugs used in pregnant women with HIV infection, which is of great significance for the effective implementation of comprehensive intervention measures of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV.

Bone formation and deposition are initiated by sensory nerve infiltration in adaptive bone remodeling.Here,we focused on the role of Semaphorin 3A(Sema3A),expressed by sensory nerves,in mechanical loads-induced bone formation and nerve withdrawal using orthodontic tooth movement(OTM)model.Firstly,bone formation was activated after the 3rd day of OTM,coinciding with a decrease in sensory nerves and an increase in pain threshold.Sema3A,rather than nerve growth factor(NGF),highly expressed in both trigeminal ganglion and the axons of periodontal ligament following the 3rd day of OTM.Moreover,in vitro mechanical loads upregulated Sema3A in neurons instead of in human periodontal ligament cells(hPDLCs)within 24 hours.Furthermore,exogenous Sema3A restored the suppressed alveolar bone formation and the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs induced by mechanical overload.Mechanistically,Sema3A prevented overstretching of F-actin induced by mechanical overload through ROCK2 pathway,maintaining mitochondrial dynamics as mitochondrial fusion.Therefore,Sema3A exhibits dual therapeutic effects in mechanical loads-induced bone formation,both as a pain-sensitive analgesic and a positive regulator for bone formation.
