OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of recombinant human tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) intravenous thrombolytic in the treatment of elderly patients (over 75 years old) with acute cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS:78 elderly ACI patients,on the basis of routine treatment,were divided into thrombolysis group (40 cases) and non-thrombolysis group (38 cases) according to the will of patients or family members. Non-thrombolysis group received aspirin 200 mg,qd;thrombolysis group was given rt-PA 0.9 mg/kg(maximum dose of 90 mg)by intravenous push of 10% dose within 1 min,and intravenous dripping of residue dose within 60 min;receiving aspirin 200 mg,qd,24 h after thrombolytic therapy with-out contraindications. Both groups were treated for 14 days. The effective rate,NIHSS score before treatment and 24 h,7 d and 14 d after treatment,prognosis after 90 d were compared between 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was observed in 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The total effective rate was 67.50% in thrombolysis group and 52.63% in non-thrombolysis group,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);there was significant difference in NIHSS score between 2 groups 24 h,7 d,14 d after treatment(P<0.05);90 d prognosis of thrombolysis group was superior to that of non-thrombolysis group,there was statistically significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:4.5 h time window rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy is safe and effective for elderly patients with ACI,and can reduce disability and fatality,im-prove prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of alteplase (rt-PA) thrombolytic therapy on patients with acute ischemic stroke aged over 80 years old.Methods The observational cohort study were conducted.One hundred and thirty-six patients with acute cerebral infarction and received rt-PA thrombolytic treatment were selected as our subjects with incidence time of 4.5 h,and the rt-PA dose of 0.9 mg/kg.The patients were divided into ≥80 years old group(n =34) and <80 years old group(n =102).U.S.A national institutes of health stroke scale (NIHSS) score of two groups evaluated before thrombolysis,immediately after thrombolysis 24 h,7 d and 14 d.The incidence and mortality rate of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) of two group were compared; and the score of modified Rankin's Scale (mRS) followed-up of 90 d were evaluated.Results NIHSS score after thrombolysis 24 h,7 d and 14 d of two groups were significantly lower than that before thrombolysis,and the differences were statistically significant (t =4.123,9.936,9.679,5.657,8.154,6.956,P <0.01).The score after thrombolysis 24 h,7 d and 14 d of two groups were no statistically significant difference.The efficient rate of treatment of two group were 55.88% and 61.76% respectively(P =0.54).Mter follow-up of 90 d,the prognosis rate were 47.06% and 64.71% respectively(P =0.07),and there were no statistically significant difference.Incidence rate of ICH were 11.76% and 5.88% respectively(P =0.07).Occurrence rates of sICH were 5.88% and 2.94% (P =0.43).Mortality rate were 11.76% and 9.80% (P =0.33),and there were no statistically significant difference.Conclusion This study shows that 80 years of age or older patients with acute ischemic cerebral apoplexy patients using rt-PA intravenous thrombolytic therapy is safe and effective,but RCT need further study.

{L-End}Objective To explore the chain mediating effect of team psychological safety atmosphere and professional calling in the relationship between humble leadership and voice behavior. {L-End}Methods A total of 812 nurses from five medical institutions in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The Team Psychological Safety Atmosphere Scale, the Professional Calling Scale, the Hospital Version of Humble Leadership Scale and the Voice Behavior Scale were used to investigate the perceived team psychological safety atmosphere and sense of professional calling, the perceived humble leadership style and voice behavior of the nurses. {L-End}Results The score of team psychological safety atmosphere, professional calling, humble leadership, and voice behavior of 812 nurses was (58.0±7.6), (44.6±8.0), (50.4±9.2) and (37.0±5.9), respectively, with the scoring rate of 72.5%, 74.3%, 80.0%, and 74.0%, respectively. Bootstrap analysis showed that humble leadership could positively influence voice behavior [standardized effect value (β)=0.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.20-0.35]. Humble leadership could influence voice behavior through the separate mediating effects of team psychological safety atmosphere (β=0.13, 95%CI 0.09-0.18), professional calling (β=0.07, 95%CI 0.04-0.11), and the chain mediating effect of team psychological safety atmosphere and professional calling(β=0.06, 95%CI 0.04-0.08). {L-End}Conclusion The voice behavior of clinical nurses is at a moderately high level. Humble leadership can directly influence voice behavior and can influence voice behavior through the mediating effects of team psychological safety atmosphere and professional calling. Nursing managers can inspire the work passion of clinical nurses by changing their own leadership style and creating a good atmosphere for voicing opinions.

OBJECTIVETo assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of hsa-miR-196a2, hsa-miR-149, hsa-miR-146a, hsa-miR-499 with susceptibility to ischemic stroke.
METHODSTaqman-PCR and DNA sequencing assays were employed to determine the genotypes of the 4 loci among 510 patients and 523 controls. And their association with the disease was assessed.
RESULTSAnalysis showed that smoking, diabetes, hypertension, BMI index and abnormal serum lipid metabolism were significantly associated with ischemic stroke, and that rs2910164 was significantly associated with the disease in codominant (CG vs. CC: P=0.002, OR=1.878, 95%CI=1.269-2.789), dominant (P=0.012, OR=1.325, 95%CI=1.110-1.580), recessive (P=0.008, OR=1.630, 95%CI=1.130-2.342) and allele (P=0.002, OR=1.449, 95%CI=1.210-1.731) genetic models. Stratified analysis further showed that the significant association only existed in population with smoking and hypertension. By contrast, no association was found between hsa-miR-196a2 rs11614913, hsa-miR-149 rs2292832 and hsa-miR-499 rs3746444 with the disease.
CONCLUSIONOur study indicated that smoking, diabetes, hypertension, fat and hyperlipidemia are risk factors for ischemic stroke. Hsa-miR-146a rs2910164 is significantly associated with the disease in those with smoking and hypertension in Dongyang region and may be involved in the process of the disease. The G allele G, GG and CG+GG genotypes of the locus may underlie the susceptibility to the disease in Dongyang region.

Objective To analyze the current situation and latent profiles of nurses'voice behavior in nurses,and explore the influencing factors of different types.Methods Through convenience sampling,812 nurses who worked in tertiary hospitals from 5 cities in Guangdong Province during April 2022 to June 2022 were recruited.The demographic questionnaire,the Voice Behavior Scale,the Humble Leadership Scale,and the Team Psychological Safety Climate Scale were used for investigation.Latent profile analysis was used to explore the latent profiles of nurses'voice behavior.The influencing factors of latent profiles were identified by multivariate Logistic regression.Results The total score of the voice behavior in 812 nurses is(37.04±5.88).Voice behaviors in nurses is divided into 3 latent classes,namely"conservation group"(27.83%),"balanced-risky group"(61.95%),and"the challenge group"(10.22%).The influencing factors include recruitment type,whether to assist in department management,humble leadership,team psychological safety climate(all P<0.05).Conclusion The level of nurses'voice behavior is upper medium with heterogeneity,which can be divided into 3 latent profiles.Nurses managers should focus on nurses with conservation group and balanced-risky group and conduct early targeted prevention and care according to characteristics and influencing factors of different latent profile.
