Objective: To explore the humanistic caring ability, and to analyze the relationship between the positive psychological qualities, emotional intelligence and humanistic caring ability among the nursing interns, and provide theoretical basis to improve nursing students’ humanistic caring ability. Methods: A total of 132 nursing interns from a three Level of first-class hospital in Liaoning province, were investigated by using the general questionnaire, caring ability inventory, emotional intelligence scale and Positive Mental Characters Scale for China normal university. Results: The score of humanistic caring ability was (180.74±18.75). Among them, the average score of cognitive was the highest (73.71±10.93) and the average score of courage was the lowest (48.43±11.91). Emotional intelligence and positive psychological qualities were positively correlated with the humanistic caring ability, and positive psychological qualities was a intermediate variable between emotional intelligence and humanistic caring ability, and the mediating effect size is 18.71%. Conclusion The level of humanistic caring ability in nursing interns is lower, which needs to be further improved. The emotional intelligence and positive psychological qualities have a significant positive effect on the humanistic caring ability. Schools and internship hospitals can improve their sense of humanistic caring ability by developing the emotional intelligence and positive psychological qualities to stabilize the development of nursing career.

AIM: To observe the changes of macular retinal structure and microcirculation in patients with pituitary adenoma(PA)by optical coherence tomography(OCT)and optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA).METHODS: Cross-sectional study. A total of 40 PA patients treated at the department of neurosurgery, Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from September 2021 to March 2023 were included as PA group, and 42 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers were selected as normal control group. All patients underwent visual field, OCT and OCTA examinations, and the correlation of ocular parameters in PA patients was analyzed.RESULTS:The vessel density(VD)of each retinal layer in the macular area of the PA group was lower than that of the normal control group, and the superficial vascular complex(SVC)-VD in the macular area was positively correlated with the thickness of the macular ganglion cell complex(mGCC)(except the nasal side of the inner ring and the lower part of the outer ring; P<0.05). The thickness of mGCC in each quadrant of the macular area and the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer(CP-RNFL)in each quadrant were negatively correlated with the mean defect(MD)value of the visual field(P<0.05), and the area of the foveal avascular zone(FAZ)was positively correlated with the MD value(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The combination of OCT and OCTA can fully understand the microscopic changes of retinal structure and microcirculation function in PA patients, which is of great value in evaluating the preoperative visual function of PA patients.

Although genome-wide association studies have identified more than eighty genetic variants associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk, biological mechanisms of these variants remain largely unknown. By integrating a large-scale genotype data of 15 581 lung adenocarcinoma (AD) cases, 8350 squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC) cases, and 27 355 controls, as well as multiple transcriptome and epigenomic databases, we conducted histology-specific meta-analyses and functional annotations of both reported and novel susceptibility variants. We identified 3064 credible risk variants for NSCLC, which were overrepresented in enhancer-like and promoter-like histone modification peaks as well as DNase I hypersensitive sites. Transcription factor enrichment analysis revealed that USF1 was AD-specific while CREB1 was SqCC-specific. Functional annotation and gene-based analysis implicated 894 target genes, including 274 specifics for AD and 123 for SqCC, which were overrepresented in somatic driver genes (ER = 1.95, P = 0.005). Pathway enrichment analysis and Gene-Set Enrichment Analysis revealed that AD genes were primarily involved in immune-related pathways, while SqCC genes were homologous recombination deficiency related. Our results illustrate the molecular basis of both well-studied and new susceptibility loci of NSCLC, providing not only novel insights into the genetic heterogeneity between AD and SqCC but also a set of plausible gene targets for post-GWAS functional experiments.
