Objective:To construct an automatic recognition system for PD patients with freezing of gait (FOG) based on mobile phone videos by recording the gait videos of PD patients with FOG.Methods:Forty-nine PD patients with FOG, admitted to our hospital from December 2020 to May 2021, were chosen in our study. Their clinical data were collected. The processes of these patients accepted "3-meter-round trip" and "3-meter-round trip through narrow (0.6 m)" were recorded and 87 valid gait videos were extracted. Position signals of key points in the video were extracted, and featured data were extracted after signal preprocessing. From the featured data, action recognition model, straight FOG recognition model and turn FOG recognition model were established respectively, and finally end-to-end FOG recognition model was formed. Leave-one-subject-out (LOSO) method was used to evaluate the performance of the above models.Results:A total of 22 066 non-FOG window samples and 3815 FOG window samples were obtained from 87 valid videos, which constituted the training sample pool of this study. LOSO method showed that the motion recognition model enjoyed 83.27% sensitivity, 91.38% specificity, and 89.28% accuracy; the straight FOG recognition model enjoyed 57.69% sensitivity and 88.12% specificity; the turn FOG recognition model enjoyed 61.54% sensitivity and specificity 98.72%; and the end-to-end FOG recognition model enjoyed 85.71% sensitivity and 75.73% specificity.Conclusion:The automatic recognition system for PD patients with FOG based on mobile phone videos has relatively high sensitivity and specificity, which can realize remote assessment and is convenient for screening and follow-up of PD patients with FOG.

RNA interference (RNAi) has become a gold standard for validating gene function in basic life science research and provides a promising therapeutic modality for cancer and other diseases. This mini-review focuses on the potential of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in anticancer treatment, including the establishment and screening of cancer-associated siRNA libraries and their applications in anticancer drug target discovery and cancer therapy. This article also describes the current delivery approaches of siRNAs using lipids, polymers, and, in particular, gold nanoparticles to induce significant gene silencing and tumor growth regression.

Objective To analyze the status and influencing factors of job satisfaction of nurses at public hospitals, providing references for the teambuilding strategy of nurses. Methods Questionnaire survey method was used, in October 2017, to study job satisfaction of 1,047 nurses at 13 public general hospitals, for a countermeasure study. Results Job satisfaction of the nurses was found at a medium level. Specifically, their overall job satisfaction score was 3. 68, and the satisfaction scores of the following dimensions from high to low were: on-the-job training (3. 91), hierarchical nurse use (3. 79), performance appraisal (3. 68), promotion evaluation (3. 67), and remuneration (3. 62) respectively. Contents of the five dimensions are strongly related to the overall job satisfaction (r＞0. 6). Job satisfaction scores of nurses with their differences in positions, annual income, and hospital level were significantly different (P＜ 0. 05). The three main influencing factors for talent turnover rate are remuneration, workplace pressure and work environment. Conclusions Higher remuneration, improved hierarchical management system, and greater attention to nursing care at secondary hospitals are very important for effectively improving the job satisfaction of nurses and ensuring the health care industry.

This paper reviewed the present nursing manager succession planning at home and abroad, covering the succession standard of nursing managers, the content and form of pre-job training, and the evaluation tool of management ability. These efforts aim to provide references for the construction of nursing management talents teams in China.

Objective:To describe the health-promoting lifestyle of caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental disorders and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 352 caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental disorders in a hospital in Shenzhen were investigated by questionnaire.The main caregivers were investigated with health-promotion lifestyle scale Ⅱ.Generalized linear model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the health promoting lifestyle score of the caregivers by SPSS 20.0 and R 3.6.0 softwares.Results:The total score of health promotion lifestyle for caregivers of children with neurodevelopmental disorders was (127.66±17.87). The standardized score was (62.05±8.96), with the highest standardized score being (69.62±11.04) for the nutrition dimension and the lowest score being (51.67±11.45) for the physical activity dimension.The difference between the groups was statistically significant ( F=62.780, P<0.01). The results of linear regression analysis showed that the education level ( "junior college" vs "primary and junior high school" : β=14.524, t=3.054, P=0.002; "undergraduate and above" vs "primary and junior high school" : β=18.561, t=3.936, P<0.001), care time ( ">3 years" vs " <1 year" : β=-7.156, t=-3.687, P=0.003), and family income ( "10 000-20 000 yuan/ month" vs "<5 000 yuan/month" : β=14.351, t=3.050, P=0.002) were the influencing factors of health promotion lifestyle of caregivers. Conclusion:The life style of caregivers should be paid attention to.It is necessary to help them improve their health-promoting lifestyle through multiform health promotion methods.

Objective To evaluate the performance of the Quality of Life Instrument for Chronic Dis-ease Nephrotic Syndrome [QLICD-NS(V2.0)] in patients with nephrotic syndrome.Methods A total of 203 patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) diagnosed in the Department of Nephrology,Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from March 2021 to November 2021 were selected for QLICD-NS(V2.0) eval-uation,and the evaluation methods were generalization theory (GT) and item response theory (IRT).The dif-ficulty,discrimination coefficient and information amount of each item were obtained by using Multilog 7.0 software to analyze the grade response model (GRM) of IRT.Results The results of GT showed that the contribution ratio of the global total score in the four domains of QLICD-NS(V2.0) scale was evenly distribu-ted,and the generalization coefficient of the four domains was greater than 0.50.Except for social function,the variance component of the participants in the other three domains were greater than the item variance compo-nent,and the reliability index of each domain was greater than 0.50.The results of IRT showed that the dis-crimination degree of QLICD-NS(V2.0) scale was 0.82.Except for items TNS7 and TNS8,the difficulty coef-ficients of the other items ranged from -3 to 3 and increase monotonically.Conclusion The QLICD-NS (V2.0) scale has good reliability in physiological function and psychological function,and is acceptable in so-cial field and special function.The QLICD-NS(V2.0) scale developed in this study has good performance.

Objective To explore the longitudinal trajectories of symptom clusters in patients with rectal cancer within 6 months after laparoscopic anal preservation surgery,and analyze the predictive factors of each trajectory subgroup.Methods A longitudinal survey was conducted to select 128 patients who underwent laparoscopic anal preservation surgery for rectal cancer at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,a tertiary hospital in Nanchong from November 2021 to April 2022.The general information questionnaire,Chinese version of Anderson Symptom Inventory for Gastrointestinal Cancer and Charlson Comorbidity Index were used to conduct follow-up surveys of the selected patients at 2 weeks,1 month,3 months and 6 months after surgeiy.The symptom cluster were extracted by exploratory factor analysis,and the latent category growth model was constructed to identify the trajectory subgroups of each symptom cluster.The predictive factors of each trajectory subgroup were analyzed by Mplus statistical software.Results There were 4 symptom clusters within 6 months after laparoscopic anus preserving surgeiy for rectal cancer,which were named as sickness symptom cluster,psychological-sleep symptom cluster,gastrointestinal symptom cluster,and psychological-treatment-related symptom cluster.The variance contribution rates were 65.173％,66.225％,62.421％,and 60.492％,respectively.The latent class growth model identified that there are 4 to 5 trajectory subgroups in the symptom cluster.Gender,education level,Charles Comorbidity Index,clinical T stage,medical cost burden,and treatment method were the predictors of high-risk trajectory subgroups in the symptom cluster(P＜0.05).Conclusion There are 4 symptom clusters within 6 months after laparoscopic anus preserving surgeiy for rectal cancer.The gastrointestinal symptom cluster is a specific symptom cluster for this type of patients with the heaviest symptom burden.The overall trajectory of each symptom cluster shows a dynamic decline trend,but individual trajectoiy subgroups still have an exacerbation trend.There are differences in predictive factors for different symptom clusters.Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the management of symptom clusters in patients with female patients,low education level,high Charles Comorbidity Index,high clinical T stage,heavy medical cost burden,and patients whose treatment method is chemotherapy plus surgery.High-risk groups should be timely identified;corresponding intervention methods were dynamically adjusted;the quality of precision nursing was improved.

Objective:To evaluate the predictive value of age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (ACCI) for in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality in patients with acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD).Methods:This was a retrospective cohort study, and the clinical data of ATAAD patients admitted to Wuhan Union Hospital from January 1, 1999 to December 31, 2018 were collected for analysis. All the patients were confirmed by computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance imaging of the aorta and the onset time was less than 14 days. Patients who survived at discharge were followed up to obtain 1-year survival information. The ACCI score was calculated for patients based on their comorbidities and age at admission, and they were divided into three groups of 0, 1 and ≥2 according to the ACCI score. The in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality of the three groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the independent predictors for in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality.Results:Among 1 133 ATAAD patients, 383, 357 and 393 patients had ACCI score of 0, 1, and ≥2, respectively. The in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality of patients with ACCI score ≥2 were significantly higher than those of patients with ACCI score of 0 (25.4% vs. 17.0%, 30.0% vs. 19.6%, both P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ACCI score ≥2 was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality ( OR=1.670, 95% CI: 1.176-2.370, P=0.004) and 1-year mortality ( OR=1.762, 95% CI: 1.264-2.456, P<0.001). Age (per 10-year increase) and cerebrovascular diseases were independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality, while diabetes mellitus was a protective factor for in-hospital mortality. Conclusions:ACCI can predict the in-hospital mortality and 1-year mortality of ATAAD patients, and patients with ACCI score ≥2 have a poorer prognosis.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that causes major illnesses and disabilities worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of AR has increased progressively over the last few decades in more developed countries and currently affects up to 40% of the population worldwide. Likewise, a rising trend of AR has also been observed over the last 2–3 decades in developing countries including China, with the prevalence of AR varying widely in these countries. A survey of self-reported AR over a 6-year period in the general Chinese adult population reported that the standardized prevalence of adult AR increased from 11.1% in 2005 to 17.6% in 2011. An increasing number of original articles and imporclinical trials on the epidemiology, pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, management and comorbidities of AR in Chinese subjects have been published in international peer-reviewed journals over the past 2 decades, and substantially added to our understanding of this disease as a global problem. Although guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in Chinese subjects have also been published, they have not been translated into English and therefore not generally accessible for reference to non-Chinese speaking international medical communities. Moreover, methods for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in China have not been standardized entirely and some patients are still treated according to regional preferences. Thus, the present guidelines have been developed by the Chinese Society of Allergy to be accessible to both national and international medical communities involved in the management of AR patients. These guidelines have been prepared in line with existing international guidelines to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AR in China.
