Journal of Chinese Physician 2009;11(6):747-749
Objective To investigate the changes of melatonin and cellular immunological function in children with febrile seizures and its clinical significance. Methods 50 children, including 23 cases with complex febrile seizure (CFS) and 27 cases with simple febrile seizure (SFS) , and 25 cases with upper respiratory infections children selected as control group were enrolled in this study. Serum melato- nin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and cellular immunological function was measured by flow eytomcter. Results The levels of serum melatonin in the 3 groups of CFS, SFS, control were(14. 91±2. 61) ng/L, (20. 72±2. 54) ng/L, (23.93± 2. Ol) ng/L, respectively. The melatonin levels in CFS children were significantly decreased than that in control group and SFS children (P <0. O1). CD3 + ,CD4 +, the ratio of CD4 + /CD8 + and CD8 + in CFS group were significantly decreased than that in control group and SFS group (P <0.01). The ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + in SFS group was significantly decreased than that in control group (P <0.05), but CD3 + ,CD4 + and CD8 + had no statistics significance among these groups(P >0. 05). The serum rnelatonin level were positive related withdecreaseddegreeofCD3+,CD4+ andtberatioofCD4+ /CDS+ (r≥0. 472, P <0.05). Conclusion The disorder cfcellular immunological function was possible related with the loss of serum melatonin, and the loss of serum melatonin maybe one of the reasons for febrile seizures relapse and brain injured.

Objective? To analyze the correlation between oral health literacy and disease severity in patients with periodontitis and to understand the influencing factors for oral health literacy. Methods? Totally 191 patients with periodontitis attending the outpatient or inpatient service of the Department of Stomatology, Peking University Third Hospital from January 2016 to January 2018 were selected. Their general information was collected, and the Oral Health Literacy Adults Questionnaire (OHL-AQ) was used to investigate their oral health literacy. The severity of their periodontitis was evaluated according to the indicators as recommended by the Center for Disease Control of the American Academy Periodontology (CDC-AAP). The difference in oral health literacy between patients with different general information. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between oral health literacy and periodontitis severity. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of oral health literacy. Results? Totally 74 sustained mild periodontitis, 60 moderate periodontitis, and 57 severe periodontitis among the 191 patients with periodontitis. The OHL-AQ scores were (14.55±2.59), (11.26±2.41) and (10.25±2.30), respectively (F=31.705,P< 0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the severity of periodontitis was negatively correlated with oral health literacy (r=-0.692,P< 0.01). There were statistically significant differences in oral health literacy between patients with different age, educational background, monthly household income, occupation and marital status (F/t=6.054, 51.812, 49.936, 2.594, 2.107; P< 0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, educational background and monthly household income were the influencing factors for oral health literacy (P< 0.01). Conclusions? The severity of periodontitis can be ameliorated by improving the patients' oral health literacy. Age,educational background and monthly household income were the influencing factors for oral health literacy.

Objective To ensure the safety of oral administration at night among elderly inpatients. Methods By the purposive sampling method, a total of 165 clinical nurses and 274 elderly patients were selected as sample. Elderly patients received nocturnal tracking and 165 nurses underwent survey questionnaire, that investigate risk factors for night safety of oral-administration. Results For circumstances of night oral medicine administration among 165 nurses, the rate of medicine inspection was highest (90. 9%), while the implementation rate of putting medicine into mouth was lowest (33. 3%). Drug regimen and administration time of elderly patients had positive correlation with the implantation level of putting medicine in the mouth by nurses (r=0.407, 0. 335;P < 0. 05). The compliance and posture of medication administration had positive correlation with medicine knowledge education to patients by nurses (r=0. 380, 0. 429;P<0. 05), and the adverse reactions of patients was positively correlated with nurses observed after taking the drug (r=0. 464,P<0. 05). Conclusions We should focus on guiding elderly patients to take medicine correctly and compliance of medicine order, and carry out the training of comprehensive drug knowledge for nurses to decrease the risks of night medicine administration.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of psychological resilience between work stress and sleep quality in psychiatric nurses.Methods:From April to August 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 457 psychiatric nurses working in three psychiatric hospitals in Henan Province as the research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Chinese Nursing Stressor Scale (CNSS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between psychological resilience, work stress, and sleep quality among psychiatric nurses. SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze the data, and Process macro program and Bootstrap method were used to test the mediating effect.Results:Among 457 psychiatric nurses, the total scores of the Chinese version of CD-RISC, CNSS, and PSQI were (58.89±13.27), (78.02±14.31), and (8.04±3.46), respectively. Pearson correlation showed that work stress was positively correlated with sleep quality ( r=0.703, P<0.01). In contrast, work stress was negatively correlated with psychological resilience ( r=-0.413, P<0.01), and psychological resilience was negatively correlated with sleep quality ( r=-0.712, P<0.01). Psychological resilience partially mediated the relationship between work stress and sleep quality, with a mediating effect value of 0.051, accounting for 30.0% of the total effect. Conclusions:Psychological resilience partially mediates the relationship between work stress and sleep quality in psychiatric nurses. Nursing managers should attach importance to and enhance the psychological resilience of psychiatric nurses, regularly relieve stress, improve sleep quality, and enhance the physical and mental health of nurses.

Objective:To explore the occupational stress status and influencing factors of workers in a textile factory in Zhejiang Provice.Methods:In October 2018, 505 workers from a textile factory in Zhejiang Province were selected as research objects by convenient sampling method. A total of 505 questionnaires were distributed, 495 of which were effective and the effective recovery rate was 98.0%. Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and Effort Reward Imbalance Questionnaire (REI) were used to investigate textile workers' occupational stress and analyze its influencing factors. The differences of the composition ratio of different groups were tested by χ 2 test. The influencing factors such as age, gender and occupation on occupational stress were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results:ERI analysis results showed that the high and low occupational stress accounted for 30.1% and 69.9%, respectively. The differences of occupational stress among workers of different job types and working ages were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The detection rates of high occupational stress of paper workers and spinners were 47.8% (11/23) and 44.8% (30/67) , respectively, higher than other jobs. The detection rate of high occupational stress for workers with more than 5 years of service was 46.4% (13/28) . The results of JCQ analysis showed that there was no statistical significance in the differences of daily working hours and length of service between different gender, education levels, types of work patterns, and occupational stress ( P>0.05) . Job types had significant effects on the occupational stress defined by ERI ( P<0.05) , the risk of occupational stress was 2.151 times than that of the coiler. Conclusion:There are significant differences in occupational stress risk among workers of different types of work in textile industry, so different measures should be taken to prevent and control occupational stress in different jobs.
