Objective To explore the current status of the stress and coping styles of emergency room nurses in Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals, to discuss the correlation between stress and coping styles, and to provide a basis for formulating targeted training plans. Methods Totally 178 emergency room nurses from 9 Class ⅢGrade A hospitals in Hebei Province were randomly selected as the study subject from April to May 2016 and investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, Nurse's Working Stress Source Scale and Coping Style Questionnaire. Results The total average stress score of the nurses was (1.88±0.56); and the scores for each dimension of coping styles were: (0.84±0.12) for problem-solving, (0.71±0.20) for fantasy, (0.68±0.22) for rationalization, (0.67±0.24) for avoidance, (0.67±0.14) for asking for help, and (0.60±0.29) for self-accusation. Nursing and working stress was positively correlated with the coping styles such as fantasy and rationalization (P<0.05), and negatively correlated with self-accusation (P<0.05). Conclusions Emergency room nurses' stress generally remains at a medium and high level. Therefore, nursing managers should formulate proper nursing management measures and take necessary measures to alleviate nurses' stress.

Objective To evaluate systematically the effects of three motortherapies, namely, yoga, Pilates and core stabilization training, on chronic low back pain (CLBP) with meta-analysis, and to offer a reference for the prevention and control of CLBP. Methods Data of the randomized controlled trails (RCT) concerning the effects of the three motortherapies on CLBP that were published by 31st January, 2017 were collected from PubMed, OVID, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP and WanFang databases by literature tracing and manual retrieval, and the meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.3. Results Totally 19 RCTs and 1 395 patients were included in the study. The meta-analysis results showed: yoga helped to alleviate the pain level of CLBP patients [WMD=-1.68,95%CI (-2.04--1.31), P< 0.01], and improve the patients' functional disorder [WMD=-2.01,95%CI (-2.22--1.79), P< 0.01];core stabilization training helped to alleviate the CLBP patients' low back pain [WMD=-1.32, 95%CI (-1.87--0.78), P< 0.01], and improve the patients' functional disorder [WMD=-0.84, 95%CI (-1.25--0.43), P< 0.01]; and Pilates helped to alleviate the CLBP patients' low back pain [WMD=-1.23, 95%CI (-1.44--1.01), P<0.01], but there was no strong evidence showing that it helped to improve the patients' functional disorder. Conclusions Yoga, Pilates and core stabilization training can help to alleviate CLBP patients' pain and improve their functional disorder, but yoga showes better effects than core stabilization training. There is no strong evidence showing that Pilates can help to improve CLBP patients' functional disorder, and therefore further research involving large samples from more clinical centers is needed.

Objective:To explore the value of contrast enhancement T1 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence (CE-T1FLAIR) based on modulated flip angle technique in refocused imaging with extended echo train (MATRIX) in detecting metastases.Methods:One hundred and seventy-six patients with pathologically diagnosed malignant tumors and brain metastases accepted enhanced 3.0T MRI scan in Department of Medical Imaging, He'nan Provincial Cancer Hospital from October 2023 to February 2024 were enrolled. Lianying's intelligent brain metastasis AI-assisted detection system and sequences of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR were used to detect the brain metastasis lesions, respectively. Length of the lesions was measured according to Lianying's intelligent brain metastasis AI-assisted detection system, and all lesions were divided into 3 categories: <3 mm, 3-10 mm, and >10 mm. Differences in detection rate in brain metastases of different lengths and locations among the 3 sequences were compared.Results:Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR, and FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases were 99.67%, 90.52%, and 71.02%, which were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR, 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases with length<3 mm (99.24%, 79.95% and 46.45%) or length of 3-10 mm (100%, 98.19% and 87.53%) were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 80.56% and 64.24%), 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 97.25% and 76.11%), and FSE CE-T1FLAIR (100%, 91.18% and 70.59%) in metastases at the superficial area of the brain convexity, gray-white matter junction area, and cerebellum were decreased successively, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Detection rates of FSE CE-T1FLAIR in brain metastases in the basal ganglia and brainstem (69.33% and 50%) were significantly lower than those of MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR and 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR (97.33% and 92.86%; 88% and 78.57%, P<0.05). Conclusion:MATRIX CE-T1FLAIR sequence is better than 3D GRE_fsp CE-T1FLAIR and FSE CE-T1FLAIR sequences in detecting brain metastases, especially for metastases with length<10 mm and metastases located at the superficial area of the brain convexity, gray-white matter junction area and cerebellum.
