Objective:To investigate the academic burnout level of nursing interns, and to analyze the influence path of nursing professional self-concept and professional values on the academic burnout of nursing interns.Methods:From September to December 2021, 204 nursing students who practiced for 6 months in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were surveyed using the College Student Learning Burnout Scale, the Nursing Professional Self-Concept Scale and the Nursing Professional Values Scale. Structural equation modeling using AMOS 23.0.Results:The total score of academic burnout was (52.37 ± 11.60), which was in the middle level. The results of correlation analysis showed that the nurses' professional values were negatively correlated with depression, misbehavior, and low sense of achievement ( r=-0.253, -0.256, -0.406), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Nursing professional self-concept was negatively correlated with depression, misbehavior, and low sense of achievement ( r=-0.466, -0.414, -0.525), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). Intern nursing students' nursing occupational self-concept had a partial mediating effect on their professional values and academic burnout, and the mediating effect accounted for 48.57% of the total effect. Conclusions:Professional values of nursing students can directly affect academic burnout, and also indirectly affect them through nursing professional self-concept.

Objective:To analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of differentiated early cardia cancer and to evaluate the short-term and long-term efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).Methods:A total of 329 patients (331 lesions) who underwent ESD at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from October 2014 to December 2019 and were pathologically confirmed as differentiated early cardia cancer were included in the study and followed up. The endoscopic and pathological data of patients were reviewed to analyze the clinicopathological characteristics of differentiated early cardia cancer. The short-term (including en bloc resection rate, curative resection rate and incidence of short-term complications) and long-term efficacy (including incidence of metachronous cancer, recurrence and distant metastasis, and overall survival rate) of ESD was evaluated.Results:The ratio of male to female in 329 patients with differentiated early cardia cancer was 4∶1, and their age was 65.69±8.02 years. Tumor diameter of ≤2.0 cm accounted for 65.9% (218/331). Most lesions were located on the posterior wall (50.5%, 167/331), followed by the minor curve (36.3%, 120/331). The endoscopic morphology of 0-Ⅱc type accounted for 49.5% (164/331). There were 69.8% (231/331) lesions confined to the mucosal layer. The en bloc resection rate was 100.0% (329/329), and the curative resection rate was 83.3% (274/329). Short-term complications occurred in 28 patients (8.5%). With a median follow-up time of 39 months, 11 patients (3.3%) developed metachronous cancer, 2 (0.6%) developed distant metastasis, and no recurrence occurred. Seven patients died, and the overall survival rate during the follow-up period was 97.9% (322/329). The survival rate of patients with curative resection and additional surgery was 100.0% (3/3), while that without additional surgery was 99.3% (269/271). The survival rate of patients with non-curative resection and additional surgery was 96.0% (24/25), and that without additional surgery was 86.7% (26/30).Conclusion:Most differentiated early cardia cancers are well-differentiated adenocarcinomas, with less than 2 cm in diameter at the time of diagnosis with a low rate of ulcer and vascular invasion. ESD is safe and effective for the treatment of differentiated early cardia cancer with a high rate of curative resection, fewer intraoperative and postoperative complications, low incidences of metachronous cancer, distant metastasis and recurrence, and a high overall survival rate. However, additional surgical treatment is recommended for patients with non-curative resection.

Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cardia cancer (EGCC) in elderly patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on data of 499 EGCC patients who underwent ESD from January 2011 to June 2018 in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups by age, the young/middle-aged group (<65 years old) and the elderly group (≥65 years old). The baseline data, lesion features, postoperative complications, short-term efficacy and long-term efficacy of the two groups were compared.Results:The elderly group included 272 patients (283 lesions) and the young/middle-aged group included 227 patients (229 lesions). Except that there were significant differences in the age ( P<0.001) and body mass index ( P=0.002) between the elderly group and the young/middle-aged group, there were no significant differences in the baseline data or pathological features between the two groups. The rate of curative resection in the elderly group was 77.0%, lower than that in the young/middle-aged group (84.3%, P=0.045). No significant differences were found in en bloc resection rate (100.0% VS 99.6%, P=1.000), complete resection rate (94.7% VS 93.9%, P=0.705), postoperative complications incidence (6.4% VS 5.7%, P=0.747), operation time (64.02±39.24 min VS 66.16±44.62 min, P=0.566) or hospitalization time (6.76±2.06 d VS 6.47±1.74 d, P=0.092]. After the median follow-up of 47.9 months, 13.4% patients in the elderly group received additional surgery, which was slightly lower than that in the young/middle-aged group ( P=0.891). There were no significant differences in postoperative recurrence, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, overall mortality and disease-related mortality between the two groups. The survival analysis showed that five-year overall survival rates were 94.41% and 96.34% in the elderly group and the young/middle-aged group respectively ( P=0.156), and five-year disease-specific survival rate were 99.18% and 99.03% in the two groups respectively ( P=0.858). Conclusion:ESD is safe and effective for EGCC in elderly patients with satisfactory short-term and long-term efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and cost-effectiveness of endoscopic resection and surgical resection for gastric schwannomas arising from the muscularis propria layer.Methods:Thirty-eight consecutive cases of gastric schwannomas diagnosed by histopathology between October 2011 and July 2016 were divided into the endoscopy group(including endoscopic submucosal excavation and endoscopic full-thickness resection) and the surgery group. Complications, complete resection rate and cost-effectiveness were analyzed.Results:The age was 52±10 years (range, 41-63 years) with 11(28.9%) males and 27(71.1%) females. The most common site of gastric schwannomas was the body (71.1%) and the antrum (21.1%). All 38(100%) lesions were protruded. The maximum diameter of the lesions was 2.5±1.2 cm (range 0.6-4.5 cm). Under endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), 60.5% lesions were heterogeneous hypoechoic, and 15 (39.5%) hypoechoic. The complete resection rate of endoscopy group was 100.0% (17/17). The median operation time of the endoscopy group was 54 minutes. Perforations occurred in 11 patients (64.7%, 11/17), and metal clips or the nylon rope combined with metallic clips were used to close the defect in the endoscopy group. Compared with the surgery group, the length of hospital stay was significantly shorter (4.6±0.6 d VS 9.6±4.4 d, P<0.001); the time to the first fluid diet was significantly shorter (1.2±0.4 d VS 2.7±0.7 d, P<0.001), and the costs were significantly lower (21 965.0±9 342.4 yuan VS 34 253.3±10 520.9 yuan, P<0.001) in the endoscopy group. S100 immunoreactivity was present in all tumors. Local recurrence and distant metastasis did not occur during the median 34 months of follow-up. Conclusions:Endoscopic resection appears to be safe and effective for diagnosis and treatment of gastric schwannomas from the muscularis propria layer. The cost-effectiveness of endoscopic resection is significantly higher than surgical resection.

Objective:To study the different clinical features of early gastric cardia carcinoma (EGCC) patients with synchronous tumor, and identify the risk factors and prognosis of the occurence of synchronous tumor after endoscopic resection.Methods:A retrospective study was made on the data of 499 patients (512 lesions) who underwent cardiac endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and were pathologically confirmed as EGCC in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2011 to June 2018. The patients were divided into synchronous tumor group (47 patients with 50 lesions) and non-synchronous tumor group (452 patients with 462 lesions). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to identify independent risk factors for the occurrence of synchronous tumor. Kaplan-Meier method was conducted to prognosis. Differences between the two groups were analyzed for significance by the log-rank test.Results:Among the 499 patients, the incidence of synchronous tumor was 9.4% (47/499). Logistic regression analysis showed that the lesion size ( P=0.046, OR=0.807, 95% CI: 0.653-0.996), atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia ( P=0.017, OR=3.207, 95% CI: 1.229-8.371), Helicobacter pylori infection ( P=0.046, OR=1.952, 95% CI: 1.013-3.761) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of synchronous tumor after endoscopic resection. A total of 453 (90.8%)patients were successfully followed up. Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the overall survival rate of the synchronous tumor group and the non-synchronous tumor group were 95.2% and 97.6%, respectively ( P=0.72). Conclusion:The incidence of EGCC accompanied with synchronous tumor is not high, but it should not be neglected. For patients with small lesions, it is necessary to consider the possibility of main cancer in other parts. For patients with Helicobacter pylori infection or severe mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia, more attention should be paid to the mucosa around the lesion during endoscopic examination and strict endoscopic follow-up should be carried out.
