Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2021;37(2):103-108
Objective:To understand the relationship between pain, negative emotions (anxiety and depression), insomnia and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and explore the multiple mediating effects of negative emotions and insomnia on pain and fatigue.Methods:A total of 240 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were selected from Northern Theater General Hospital from October 2018 to January 2019. The general questionnaire, Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Multi-Dimensional Questionnaire,Visual Analogue Scale,The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Asens Insomnia Scale were used to investigate the demographic data, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, respectively. SPSS 20.0 was used for correlation analysis, and Mplus 7.0 was used for mediation analysis.Results:The fatigue score of patients with rheumatoid arthritis was (28.88±14.89), which was moderate. The score of Visual Analogue Scale was 4(2-7), the score of insomnia was 7(3-11), the score of anxiety was 5(3-8), the score of depression was 7(4-11). There was a positive correlation between fatigue and pain, negative emotion and insomnia ( r values were 0.432-0.950, P<0.01). Negative emotions and insomnia had a partial mediating effect between pain and fatigue, with mediating effects accounting for 56.44% of the total effect. Conclusions:The fatigue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is moderate; fatigue is associated with pain, negative emotions, and insomnia; negative emotions and insomnia have multiple mediating effects between pain and fatigue.

Objective To investigate the effects of type 2 diabetes on learning and memory of APP/PS1/Tau triple transgenic (3 × Tg) mice of Alzheimer’s disease, and the protective mechanism of liraglutide (LIR) thereof. Methods One month old C57BL/6 mice were set to be control group (WT). One month old 3×Tg mice were divided into control group (Tg), liraglutide group (Tg+LIR), type 2 diabetes group (Tg+T2DM) and liraglutide treatment group (Tg+T2DM+LIR). The model of T2DM was established by feeding the high fat and sugar fodder, and then injecting streptozotocin (STZ) in mice, making sure the fasting blood glucose was more than 7 mmol/L. Then the subcutaneous injection of LIR was administered for 2 months. The values of body weight and fasting blood glucose were detected at age of 5-month. Morris water maze was applied to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability. Western blotting assay was used to measure the levels of phosphorylated Tau, neurofilament (NFs) and insulin receptor substrates. ELISA was used to detect the human Aβ42 to evaluate the effect of LIR on-amyloid. Results LIR can reduce body weight and blood glucose, can alleviate spatial learning and memory damaging caused by T2DM, and also can improve phosphorylated Tau levels, NFs and insulin receptor substrates caused by T2DM, and finally can reduce the deposition ofβ-amyloid of 3 × Tg mice. Conclusion T2DM can aggravate symptoms of AD in 3×Tg mice, and LIR has a protective effect on it.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of perceived organizational support on the relationship between personality traits and perceived self-efficacy of male nurses.Methods:A total of 766 male nurses from 20 level-A general hospitals in Shandong province were selected by convenience sampling method in December 2020. The general status questionnaire, the simplified version of Big Five Personality Inventory, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale and the General Self-efficacy Scale were used to investigate them.Results:The total score and average item score of 766 male nurses' sense of organizational support was 44.05±9.31, 3.38±0.72, and the total score and average item score of general self-efficacy was 26.19±5.65, 2.62±0.57. In 766 male nurses, perceived organizational support had a partial mediating effect on neuroticism and openness, with effect values of 21.71% and 10.19%, respectively. In addition, perceived organizational support had a complete mediating effect on conscientiousness and self-efficacy.Conclusions:The organizational support and self-efficacy of 766 male nurses were above average, and organizational support played a mediating role in the relationship between neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness and general self-efficacy.Nursing managers should give more organizational support to male nurses to change the influence of neuroticism, responsibility, agreeableness and open personality traits on self-efficacy, so as to improve the level of self-efficacy of male nurses.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of femoral neck system (FNS) and cannulated compression screw (CCS) in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in the young and middle-aged patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 91 patients with femoral neck fracture admitted to Fuzhou Second Hospital from July 2020 to December 2021, including 52 males and 39 females; aged 23-65 years [(48.9±10.3)years]. Garden classification of the fracture found that 31 patients were with type I, 9 with type II, 12 with type III and 39 with type IV. Pauwels classification of the fracture found that 7 patients were with type I, 33 with type II and 51 with type III. A total of 53 patients were treated with FNS fixation (FNS group) and 38 patients with CCS fixation (CCS group). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, Haidukewych fracture reduction quality, hospitalization time, Barthel index, fracture healing time, and weight-bearing time were compared between the two groups. The hip function was assessed by Harris hip score in both groups at postoperative 3 months, 6 months and 1 year and at the final follow-up. The incidences of postoperative complication and secondary surgery were also compared between the two groups.Results:All the patients were followed up for 15-31 months [(22.2±5.5)months]. There were no significant differences in the operation time, Haidukewych fracture reduction quality, hospitalization time, or Barthel index (all P>0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in the FNS group was 50.0(20.0,85.0)ml, which was more than that in the CCS group [20.0(10.0,50.0)ml] ( P<0.01). The fracture healing time, partial weight-bearing time, and full weight-bearing time in the FNS group [4.0(3.0,5.0)months, 3.0(2.0,3.0)months, 5.0(4.5,6.0)months] were shorter than those in the CCS group [6.0(5.0,7.0)months, 3.0(2.8,4.0)months, 6.0(6.0,7.0)months] (all P<0.01). The Harris hip score at postoperative 3 months, 6 months and 1 year and at the final follow-up were 74.0(71.0,77.0)points, 87.0(84.0,88.5)points, 91.0(88.0,95.0)points, and 94.0(91.0,96.0)points in the FNS group, significantly higher than those in the CCS group [73.0(70.0,74.0)points, 82.5(79.8,87.0)points, 88.0(83.5,91.0)points, 89.0(84.0,93.0)points] (all P<0.05 or 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidences of postoperative complication or secondary surgery between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with CCS, FNS can shorten fracture healing time, allow patients to carry full weight as soon as possible, and significantly improve hip function in the treatment of middle-aged and young adults with femoral neck fracture, although there is more intraoperative blood loss.

OBJECTIVETo understand the positive rates of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and surface antibody (anti-HBs) among adults aged ≥18 years in communities in Chaoyang district, Beijing.
METHODSHBsAg and anti-HBs were tested with ELISA reagents for participants in the Community Diagnosis Survey (3 000 person were sampled in each community according to the age and sex distribution of the residents) in all 42 communities in Chaoyang district by Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Chaoyang CDC. The data of 35 communities in which at least 1 000 adults were tested were analyzed.
RESULTSA total of 78 100 adults were tested for HBsAg and anti-HBs in the 35 communities. The crude positive rate of HBsAg was 2.24% (95% CI: 2.13%-2.34%). The highest age-specific HBsAg positive rate was 3.00% (95% CI: 2.56%-3.44%) for those aged 40-44 years and the lowest age-specific HBsAg positive rate was 1.69% (95% CI: 1.29%-2.09%) for those aged 18-24 years, respectively. A obvious difference in community- based HBsAg positive rate was founded with the highest of 10.68% (95% CI: 9.43%-11.94%) and lowest of 0.24% (95% CI: 0.13%-0.38%). HBsAg positive rate was significantly lower in local residents than in participants with household registered in other provinces (1.97% vs. 2.98%, P<0.01), but the sex specific difference in HBsAg positive rate was relatively smaller (2.45% in males and 2.07% in females, P<0.01). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, community, occupation, residence status and sex were all associated with positive rate of HBsAg (P<0.01). The overall positive rate of anti-HBs was 30.85% (95% CI: 30.53%-31.18%), and the highest was 38.10% in age group 18-24 years (95% CI: 36.58%-39.61%) and the lowest was 28.88% in age group 75- years (95% CI: 27.62%-30.15%), respectively. Up to 67.02% of the subjects were both HBsAg and anti-HBs negative (95% CI: 66.69%-67.35%), and the age specific difference was not significant. But significant differences in anti-HBs positive rate and the negative rate of both HBsAg and anti-HBs were found across communities.
CONCLUSIONThe overall positive rate of HBsAg was at a moderate low level among adults in Chaoyang, but the age specific positive rate was high in the middle-aged and the population specific positive rate was high in participants with household registered in other provinces, therefore, the prevention and control of hepatitis B in Chaoyang should be focused on the middle aged people and participants with household registered in other provinces. The community specific differences in the positive rate of HBsAg and anti-HBs across communities need to be further studied.
