Objective:To analyze effects of personal character and occupational values of psychiatric nurses on job burnout.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, 150 nurses from the psychiatric department in general hospital and psychiatric hospital of Zhengzhou from May 2019 to July 2019 were selected as the research objects. Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Short Scale for Chinese (EPQ-RSC) , Nursing Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) AND Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) used to conduct a questionnaire survey among 150 psychiatric nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between EPQ-RSC, NPVS-R and MBI-GS, and multiple regression analysis was used to determine the factors affecting the job burnout of psychiatric nurses.Results:EPQ-RSC scores of psychiatric nurses for neuroticism, introversion and extraversion, psychoticism and concealment were (48.52±5.36) , (53.32±10.02) , (50.23±4.85) and (45.36±6.32) , respectively. The total score of NPVS-R was (91.91±14.32) . The scores of emotional exhaustion, cynicism and low sense of accomplishment in MBI-GS were respectively (26.12±4.02) , (12.01±3.51) and (15.32±3.35) .The psychoticism and neuroticism scores in EPQ-RSC of psychiatric nurses were positively correlated with the emotional exhaustion and cynicism scores in MBI-GS, and negatively correlated with the depression scores ( P<0.01) . The introversion and extraversion scores in EPQ-RSC were negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and cynicism scores in MBI-GS, and positively correlated with the low sense of accomplishment score ( P<0.01) . The total score of NPVS-R was negatively correlated with the emotional exhaustion and cynicism scores in MBI-GS, and positively correlated with the low sense of achievement score ( P<0.001) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that psychoticism, introversion and extroversion and neuroticism scores in EPQ-RSC and NPVS-R score were the influencing factors of job burnout of psychiatric nurses ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:The personal character and occupational values of psychiatric nurses are obviously related to job burnout, which are related factors that affect job burnout.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between simple thyroid nodule and blood lipid and glucose metabolism and iodine nutrition level.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting data of the population undergoing epidemiological investigation in Jinshan District, Shanghai from July to December 2015, to calculate the prevalence of thyroid nodules and analyze relevant functional indicators.Results:Simple thyroid nodules were detected in 603 subjects, with a prevalence of 22.6% (603/2 669). There were 358 female patients with simple thyroid nodules, with a prevalence rate of 26.9%, and 245 male patients with simple thyroid nodules, with a prevalence rate of 18.3%. The prevalence of simple thyroid nodule in female was higher than that in male, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=27.686, P<0.001). In addition, the prevalence of simple thyroid nodules increased with age (13.1% (92/704) and 20.2% (104/514) and 25.1% (145/578) and 24.4% (107/439) and 36.3% (98/270) and 34.8% (57/164), χ 2=83.872,P<0.001). In the ≤30 years group (8.0% (30/704) vs. 18.8% (62/331), χ 2=35.716, P<0.001), >30 to ≤40 years old group (14.1% (37/263) vs. 26.7% (67/251), χ 2=12.683, P<0.001), >60 to ≤70 years old group (26.2% (33/126) vs. 45.1% (65/144), χ 2=10.435, P<0.001), and the 70-year-old group (24.4% (21/86) vs. 46.2% (36/78), χ 2=8.521, P<0.001). The prevalence of simple thyroid nodules in males was lower than that in females. In the simple positive thyroid nodule group, Fasting blood glucose (5.12 (4.80, 5.69) and 5.02 (4.72, 5.48)), total cholesterol (1.24 (0.85, 1.86) and 1.13 (0.77, 1.76)), triglyceride (4.77 (4.09, 5.48) and 4.49 (3.92, 5.16)), low density lipoprotein((2.79 (2.26, 3.36) and 2.63 (2.19, 3.16)), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (1.41 (1.18, 1.66) and 1.35 (1.13, 1.61)) were higher than those in the negative group ( U values were 554 818, 578 468, 535 622, 556 067 and 567 960, respectively, all P<0.01). The BMI index grade distribution of thyroid nodule positive group was higher than that of negative group, and the difference was statistically significant (3.7% (77/2 066), 50.1% (1 034/2 066), 32.4% (669/2 066), 13.8% (286/2 066), 3.2% (19/603), 43.6% (263/603), 38.1% (230/603), 15.1% (91/603), χ2=9.5201, P=0.023). The prevalence of simple thyroid nodules was significantly lower in the iodized salt group than in the non-iodized salt group (20.7% (436/2 102) vs. 29.5% (167/567), χ 2=19.376, P<0.001). The urinary iodine level in the positive thyroid nodule group was significantly lower than that in the negative group (148.4(100.2, 213.7) vs. 169.5(115.4, 241.75), U=545 129.5, P<0.001). After Logistic regression screening, age ( OR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.292-1.908, P<0.001), gender ( OR=1.278, 95% CI: 1.193-1.368, P<0.001), BMI grade ( OR=1.166, 95% CI: 1.022-1.330, P=0.022), total cholesterol ( OR=1.105, 95% CI: 1.005-1.214, P=0.040), iodized salt ( OR=0.689, 95% CI: 0.556-0.854, P=0.001) were independent influencing factors of thyroid nodule. Conclusion:The prevalence of simple thyroid nodules in Shanghai is relatively low. Age, sex, BMI level, total cholesterol and iodized salt are independent factors causing thyroid nodules. In addition, blood glucose level may also be related to the prevalence of thyroid nodules.
5.Female pain should not be underestimated
Journal of Chinese Physician 2024;26(9):1304-1307
Sex differences in humans and non-human mammals play an important role in pain perception, response, and treatment, yet many preclinical studies have not given enough attention to gender as an important variable. Pain studies typically use only male animals, and in human studies, there are fewer pain studies that involve sex differences; And long-ingrained gender biases and cultures about women′s bodies and diseases have led to the underestimation of female pain. Harmful gender biases in the field of pain, such as ignoring women′s pain and expecting women to tolerate it, are intertwined with other identities and social statuses associated with marginalization, and together exacerbate inequalities in pain research and care. Female pain needs to be treated well by the whole society and clinicians..

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Buzhong Yulin Decoction (补中愈淋汤) in the prevention and treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection. MethodsThe mouse models of recurrent urinary tract infection were established by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strain UTI89 by bladder perfusion, and the successful mouse models were randomly divided into a model group, an antibiotic group, and a low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction group, with six mice in each group. In addition, 5 C57BL/6 mice without modelling were taken as blank group. The low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups received 0.1 ml/10 g of decoction by gavage, with concentrations of 1.3 g/ml and 5.2 g/ml, respectively; the antibiotic group received 0.1 ml/10 g of levofloxacin hydrochloride solution with 5 mg/ml by gavage; the blank and model groups received 0.1 ml/10 g of distilled water by gavage. Each group was gavaged once a day for 7 consecutive days. The total number of urine marks, the number of central urine marks, and the total urine volume of the urine marks were observed by the urine marking test; HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the bladder of mice; serum levels of the inflammatory factors interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) were detected by ELISA; the morphology of the epithelial cells of bladder was observed by scanning electron microscopy; immunofluorescence assay to detect bladder tissue anti-UroPlakin 3A protein level and UPEC bacterial load; the spread plate method to detect urinary bacterial load and bacterial load of bladder epithelial cells; RT-PCR method to detect Ras-related protein Rab-11A (RAB11A) and Ras-related protein Rab-27B (RAB27B) mRNA level in bladder tissue; immunoblotting to detect microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain3 (LC3) and P62 protein levels in bladder tissue. ResultsCompared with the blank group, the bladder epithelial cell layers were lost and showed abnormal morphology in mice of the model group; bladder tissue UroPlakin 3A protein and RAB11A and RAB27B mRNA levels reduced, the total number of urine marks, the number of central urine marks, bladder tissue UPEC bacterial load, urinary bacterial load, bacterial load in bladder epithelial cells, serum IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels, and LC3 and P62 protein levels in bladder tissue all elevated (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the bladder epithelial cell layers were intact and the morphology of epithelial cells were regular in the low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups; the average surface area of bladder epithelial cells reduced, the levels of UroPlakin 3A protein and RAB11A and RAB27B mRNA in bladder tissues elevated, and total number of urine marks, the number of central urine marks, bladder tissue UPEC bacterial load, urinary bacterial load, bacterial load in bladder epithelial cells, serum IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels, and P62 protein levels in bladder tissue all reduced (P<0.05 or P<0.01), but LC3 protein levels showed no statistically significant (P>0.05). In the antibiotic group, the bladder epithelial cells were partially missing and the morphology of epithelial cells was abnormal. Compared with the antibiotic group, the average surface area of the bladder epithelial cells in the mice increased in the low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups, the bacterial load of the bladder epithelial cells decreased, and the P62 protein level of the bladder tissue decreased (P<0.05). When comparing between the low- and high-dose Buzhong Yulin Decoction groups, the differences in each index were not statistically significant (P>0.05). ConclusionBuzhong Yulin Decoction may prevent and treat recurrent urinary tract infection by repairing the bladder mucosal barrier, increasing RAB11A and RAB27B level and enhancing autophagy in bladder tissues, thereby facilitating bacterial clearance from bladder epithelial cells and reducing the bacterial load of bladder epithelial cells.
