Objective:To explore the job satisfaction and depression of nurses in Henan Provincial Chest Hospital, and to analyze the correlation between the two.Methods:From January to December 2019, nurses of Henan Provincial Chest Hospital were selected as the research object. The Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess and analyze the correlation between job satisfaction and depression of nurses. A potential profile analysis was performed on the job satisfaction of nurses, and the correlation between the potential profile and the depression of nurses was further analyzed. A total of 264 questionnaires were distributed, and 252 valid questionnaires were recovered.Results:Among 252 nurses, the internal satisfaction score, external satisfaction score and total satisfaction score were (35.3±7.2) , (24.2±6.1) and (59.5±6.5) respectively, and the SDS score was (16.2±2.8) . Nurses' job satisfaction scores in all dimensions were negatively correlated with depression scores ( P<0.05) , and nurses' internal satisfaction scores were positively correlated with external satisfaction scores ( P<0.05) . Analysis of the correlation between profile and depression by Mplus 7.0 showed that the depressive symptom score type-2 (26.2±0.7) >type-3 (20.8±0.8) >type-1 (14.3±0.5) , all profiles were negatively correlated with depression scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nurses' job satisfaction was significantly negatively correlated with depression, that is, the higher the satisfaction, the lower the likelihood of depression. In order to alleviate the depression of nurses, the job satisfaction of nurses should be actively improved.

Objective:To examine the surgical treatment of Stanford type A aortic dissection (type A dissection) after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR).Methods:The data of 58 patients with reoccurrence of type A dissection after TEVAR admitted into the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Henan Chest Hospital from February 2012 to January 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 40 males and 18 females, aged (57.0±6.7) years (range: 31 to 71 years). The time between recurrence of type A dissection and TEVAR ( M( Q R)) was 37 days (72.8 months) (range: 1 h to 14 years). Forty-eight cases underwent emergency operation, 9 cases underwent sub-emergency operation, and 1 case died of dissection rupture on the way to the operating room. All 57 patients underwent radical treatment. Fifty-four cases underwent the frozen elephant trunk technique under deep hypothermia circulatory arrest and selective cerebral perfusion, and 3 cases (>65 years old) underwent arch debranch anastomosis+ascending aorta replacement+descending arch covered stent implantation under mild hypothermia. Results:The operation time was (445±32) minutes (range: 382 to 485 minutes), the aortic crossclamp time was (103±19) minutes (range: 89 to 133 minutes), the cardiopulmonary bypass time was (189±27) minutes (range: 162 to 221 minutes), and the intraoperative blood loss was (665±343) ml (range: 450 to 1 750 ml). Postoperative ICU stay time was 5 (6) days (range: 2 to 27 days), and postoperative hospital stay was 14.0 (4.5) days (range: 2 to 36 days). Three cases died, including 2 cases with severe brain complications and 1 case with systemic multiple organ failure caused by severe liver insufficiency and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Postoperative follow-up was 0.5 to 7.0 years, which showed that 1 case had left coronary artery anastomotic stoma fistula 3 months after operation and underwent reoperation, 2 cases underwent thoracoabdominal aortic replacement again, and the rest of patients had no anastomotic stoma fistula and incomplete stent distortion and expansion on CT angiography. Four cases died during follow-up, and 1 case died of sudden cerebral infarction 2 years after operation.Conclusion:The recurrent type A dissection after TEVAR is mostly related to stent graft, and the patients can undergo operation actively with good prognosis.

OBJECTIVE To prepare C-phycocyanin nanoparticles (CPC-NPs) and evaluate the in vitro mechanism of CPC- NPs on acute lung injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) combined with seawater. METHODS Ion crosslinking method was used to prepare CPC-NPs using CPC as the drug, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as the carrier, and CaCl2 as the crosslinking agent. The basic characterization of CPC-NPs was carried out. Mouse alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells MLE-12 and macrophages RAW264.7 were divided into 7 groups: normal group (Con group), model group (Mod group), blank NPs group, CPC-NPs 30, 60, 120 and 240 μg/mL groups. Except for the Con group, all other groups were treated with a combination of 10 μg/mL LPS and 25% seawater for 6 hours. After modeling, each treatment group was treated with corresponding drugs for 24 hours. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in MLE-12 cells, as well as the expression levels of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), caspase-3 protein and mRNA, CAT and glutathione S-transferase (GST) mRNA were determined. The levels of interleukin- 1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells, as well as the expression levels of NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), cleaved caspase-1 protein, and mRNA expressions of IL-1β,TNF-α, IL-6 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were all detected. RESULTS The prepared CPC-NPs had particle size of (675.69±64.58) nm, Zeta potential of (-20.11± E-mail:zhangleifang1986@163.com 0.98) mV, polydispersity coefficient of 0.455±0.010 (n=3);entrapment efficiency of 35.60%, and drug loading of 16.13%;CPC-NPs had regular spherical shapes, where the drug could be sustainably released for more than 30 hours. Compared with Mod group, the levels of T-AOC, SOD, CAT (excluding the 30 μg/mL group of CPC-NPs) and GSH-Px, mRNA expressions of CAT and GST, as well as the Bcl-2/Bax protein ratio and mRNA ratio were significantly increased in MLE-12 cells of different concentration groups of CPC-NPs, while MDA levels and caspase-3 protein and mRNA expression were significantly reduced (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with Mod group, the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6, NLRP3 and cleaved-caspase-1 protein expressions, as well as the mRNA expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and iNOS in RAW264.7 cells of different concentration groups of CPC-NPs were significantly reduced (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS CPC-NPs with lung targeting and sustained release property were prepared successfully, which can alleviate acute lung injury induced by LPS combined with seawater through antioxidant stress, inhibiting cell apoptosis and inflammatory response.
