Objective To analyze satisfaction of the clinical practice content of nursing postgraduates with different characteristic, and to provide transformative suggestions for the construction of clinical practice scheme of nursing postgraduates. Methods Using judgment sampling and snowball sampling, the questionnaire survey was conducted among 101 nursing postgraduates, and comparing satisfaction of clinical practice content of postgraduates with different age, work experience and teaching mode. SPSS 17.0 software package was used for data description and t test. Results The total satisfaction of clinical practice content of nursing postgraduates was low, and different postgraduates′satisfaction was different. On practical operation opportunity,> 30 years old of postgraduates′satisfaction was (3.95±0.87), which was higher than those 20~30 years old, (3.35±0.90), and the difference was statistically significant, t=2.748, P<0.01. On clinical practice assessment methods and frequency, the satisfaction of postgraduates with a fixed teacher was higher than those without a fixed teacher (3.40±0.74) vs. (2.83±0.87), and the difference was statistically significant, t=3.310, P<0.01. Conclusions At present, the clinical practice content of nursing postgraduates is in shortage, and need to be further improved.

Objective We tried to explore nursing postgraduates' expectations of clinical practice,and build a set of practicable clinical practice program which contributed to cultivate comprehensive ability of nursing postgraduate.Methods Using judgment sampling and snowball sampling,the questionnaire survey was conducted among 111 nursing postgraduates,and expectations of clinical practice of postgraduates with dif-ferent ages and different work experiences were compared.Results Most nursing postgraduates hold that the clinical practice was necessary.Nursing postgraduates with different ages and work experiences had different expectations of chnical practice,and the differences were statistically significant,x2 value was 11.594 and 4.416,P ＜ 0.05.Nursing postgraduate with different working experience showed statistical difference in clinical expectation of total practice time,x2=1 1.290,P ＜ 0.05.Conclusions Nursing post-graduates with different ages and work experiences have different expectations of clinical practice.Colleges should build a set of reasonable clinical practice program,based on training objectives,research direction,practice expectations of nursing postgraduates.

Objective: To observe the automatic ventricular capture management (VCM) conifrmed by paced depolarization integral (PDI) evoked response detection via the follow-up study in patients with Zephyr5826 pacemaker implantation. Methods: A total of 102 relevant patients were enrolled. In order to conduct PDI calculation, pacemakers were set by bipolar sensing and bipolar pacing at immediately after implantation. VCM functions were observed at 1 day, 7 days and 1 month, 3, 6, 12 months after implantation, the ventricular threshold by VCM test and manual test were compared. The symptoms of pectoralis major stimulus, diaphragm stimulus and palpitation were observed in all follow-up patients. Results: There was 1 patient died by MI at 1 month after Zephyr5826 pacemaker implantation, the rest 101 patients were followed-up for 12 months. VCM function was successfully turned-on at immediately after implantation in all patients, no pectoralis major stimulus and diaphragm stimulus occurred. VCM function was turned-off in 6/101 (5.9%) patients at 7 days after implantation due to intolerable palpitation caused by daily automatic VCM, instead they received manual test at follow-up visit. The coincidence rate of ventricular thresholds between VCM test and manual test were 100%. Ventricular pacing output voltage by VCM was (0.99 ± 0.48) V,n=608. Compared with regular pacing output voltage (2.5V, 0.4ms), VCM function may save 84% of energy consumption; compared to high pacing output voltage (3.5V, 0.4ms), VCM may save 92%. Loss of ventricular capture and poor sensation were not found by ECG and 24 h dynamic monitoring. Conclusion: Zephyr5826 pacemaker may conduct bipolar pacing and scanning with VCM function, it can be effectively and safely operated by low energy output. A few patients may not use VCM function due to intolerable palpitation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate expression of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT1R) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and determine its clinical significance.

METHODSCancerous and paraneoplastic liver tissues were collected from 30 patients with HCC and from 12 patients with liver hemangioma patients (controls). Real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate the expression of CysLT1R in these tissues and assess the relationship with clinical pathological features. T-test,?Fisher's exact test and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used for statistical analysis.

RESULTSThe expression of CysLT1R in adjacent liver tissues (100%) was higher than that in the HCC (43.33%, P = 0.000) and normal liver tissues (41.67%, P = 0.000). The level of CysLT1R mRNA was also higher in paraneoplastic liver tissues (0.0339+/-0.0221) than in the paired HCC tissues (0.0127+/-0.0116, t = 2.911, P = 0.008) and normal liver tissues (0.0154+/-0.0123, t = -2.310, P = 0.033). There was no difference between the levels in HCC and normal liver tissues (P more than 0.05). Higher level of CysLT1R mRNA, higher level of serum alpha-fetoprotein, and higher tumor stage (III-IV) were associated with poor prognosis (respectively 4.372, P = 0.037; 24.187, P = 0.000; 8.75, P = 0.003). However, no evident relationship between the expression of CysLT1R and other clinical features was observed. Conclusions Overexpression of CysLT1R may contribute to the occurrence and progression of HCC.

The quality of the literature was evaluated using the Australian JBI Centre for Evidence-Based Health Care (2017) quality assessment criteria for qualitative studies, which were integrated using a pooled integration approach.Results:A total of 12 papers were included to distil the findings of 74 studies, which were summarized to form 10 new categories and 4 consolidated findings including medical staffs′ attitudes towards and reasons for family presence during resuscitation, the impact of family presence during resuscitation on the resuscitation team, the impact of family presence during resuscitation on patients and families, and the real-life dilemmas and recommendations for medical staffs to allow family presence during resuscitation.Conclusions:We should pay attention to the difficulties and needs of family presence during resuscitation by medical staff, take into account the medical context in China, and improve the humanistic care system in our hospitals by considering hospital management, clinical practice, and the demands of patients and their families, in order to improve the accessibility of family presence during resuscitation by the medical staff.

Objective:To understand the current situation of knowledge, attitude and practice about target temperature management (TTM) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (STBI) among intensive care unit ICU nurses and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide a reference for conducting ICU nurses′ TTM training for patients with STBI.Methods:Applying the method of cross-sectional study, from November to December 2022, a stratified whole-group sampling method was used, stratified by first-, second-, and third-level hospitals, and a self-designed questionnaire on the current status of ICU nurses′TTM for patients with STBI was used to investigate the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice of neurosurgical ICU, emergency ICU, and comprehensive ICU nurses in 22 second- and third-level hospitals in 11 cities in Gansu Province, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the factors influencing ICU nurses′ knowledge, attitude, and practice scores.Results:A total of 543 valid questionnaires were returned, and the scores of ICU nurses on the TTM total score, knowledge, attitude and practice dimensions of STBI patients were (76.75 ± 10.42), (7.38 ± 2.74), (39.57 ± 4.87), (29.80 ± 7.18) points respectively. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the factor influencing ICU nurses′ scores on the TTM knowledge dimension for STBI patients was having attended TTM-related training ( t = 2.16, P<0.05); the factors influencing ICU nurses′ scores on the TTM attitude dimension for STBI patients were college, bachelor′s degree and the position of nurse practitioner ( t = 2.65, 2.91, 2.14, all P<0.05); and the factors influencing ICU nurses′ scores on the TTM practice dimension for STBI patients were the age group of 36 to 45 years old, the department having TTM-related criteria and having knowledge of TTM-related guidelines ( t = -2.46, 2.64, 3.85, all P<0.05). Conclusions:ICU nurses have a more positive attitude toward TTM in patients with STBI, but the level of knowledge and practice needs to be improved. Managers should conduct relevant training according to the current situation and influencing factors to improve ICU nurses′ knowledge and practice of TTM in patients with STBI, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of TTM.

Objective To explore the effect of head acupuncturing therapy combined with massaging key head acupoints on language and cognitive function in children with autism.Methods 60 children with autism who visited the Department of Pediatric Rehabilitation of our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 were selected as subjects,who were then randomly divided into the conventional group treated with the conventional rehabilitation training and the combination group treated with head acupuncturing therapy combined with massaging the key acu-points,apart from conventional rehabilitation training 30 cases in each group.The cognitive function,developmental status,and parental quality of life before and after the treatment were compared between the two groups,and so were the language function and safety.Results There were no significant differences in the scores by Autism Behavior Checklist(ABC)and Childhood Autism Rating Scale(CARS),adaptability scores,language scores,and individual-social interaction scores between the conventional group and the combination group before the treatment(P>0.05).After the treatment,the scores by ABC and CARS were significantly decreased in both groups,and the scores of the combination group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group(P<0.05);The adaptability scores,language,individual-social interaction scores were significantly increased in both groups,and the scores of the combined group were significantly higher than those of the conventional group(P<0.05).The abnormal rates of symbolic expression,language comprehension,action-oriented subjects,and language development delay in the combined group were all significantly lower than those in the conventional group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the scores by the QL-Index between the conventional group and the combined group before the treatment(P>0.05),but after the treatment,the QL-Index scores of the conventional group and the combination group were increased,and the score of the combination group was significantly higher than that of the conventional group(P<0.05).The results of blood routine,urine routine,stool routine,liver function,and kidney function in both groups were not significantly abnormal.There was one case of mild swelling and pain at the acupunctured site in the combination group,which was improved without intervention.Conclusion Head acupuncturing therapy combined with massaging the key head acupoints can improve language function,cognitive function,and development of autis-tic children.In addition,it can enhance parental quality of life and have a high level of safety.

Objective To observe the protective effect of polypyrimidine bundle-binding proteinrelated splicing factor (PSF) over-expression on RPE cell injury induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs).Methods The human RPE cells cultured in vitro were divided into three groups:normal control group (N group),blank control group (N + AGEs group),empty vector control group (Vec + AGEs group),and PSF high expression group (PSF + AGEs).group).RPE cells in N group were routinely cultured;RPE cells in N + AGEs group were only transfected but did not introduce any exogenous genes combined with AGEs induction;Vec +AGEs group and PSF + AGEs group were transfected with pcDNA The empty vector or pcDNA-PSF eukaryotic expression plasmid was introduced into RPE cells and induced by AGEs.Except the N group,the other 3 groups of cells were transfected accordingly,and were stimulated with 150 μg/ml AGEs for 72 h after 24 h.HE staining and Hoechst 33258 staining were used to observe the effect of high PSF expression on the morphological changes of RPE cells;ROS level detection was used to analyze the effect of PSF high expression on the ROS expression of RPE cells induced by AGEs;MTT colorimetric method was used to detect the high PSF expression Effects on the viability of RPE cells;Western blot was used to detect the effects of different time and dose of PSF on the expression of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1).Results HE staining and Hoechst 33258 staining observation showed that the cells in group N were full in shape,the nucleus was round,the cytoplasm was rich,and the staining was uniform;the cells in N + AGEs group and Vec + AGEs group were reduced in size,the eosinophilic staining was enhanced,and the nucleus was densely densely stained.Pyrolysis and even fragmentation;the morphology of cells in the PSF + AGEs group was still full,the cytoplasm staining was more uniform,and the nucleus staining was uniform.The results of MTT colorimetry showed that high expression of PSF can effectively improve the viability of RPE cells,but this effect can be effectively antagonized by ZnPP,and the difference is statistically significant (F=33.26,P＜0.05).DCFH-DA test results showed that compared with the N + AGEs group and Vec + AGEs group,the ROS production in PSF + AGEs group decreased,the difference was statistically significant (F=1 1.94,P＜0.05).Western blot analysis showed that PSF protein upregulated HO-1 expression in a time-and dose-dependent manner.The relative expression level of HO-1 at 24,48,and 72 h after PSF protein was significantly higher than that at 0 h,and the difference was statistically significant (F=164.91,P＜0.05).The relative expression level of HO-1 under the action of 0.1,0.5,1.0,1.5,and 2.0 μg PSF protein was significantly higher than 0.0 μg,and the difference was statistically significant (F=104.82,P＜0.05).Conclusion PSF may inhibit the production of ROS by up-regulating the expression of HO-1,thus protecting the RPE cells induced by AGEs.

Blood-retina barrier destruction, nerve injury, formation of neovascularization and fibroblast proliferation membrane are important pathological changes of DR, which are related to the combined effects of various vitreous cytokines. VEGF is mainly involved in increasing retinal vascular permeability and inducing neovascularization. Pigment epithelium derived factor is vital reducing vascular permeability and neuroprotection; IL plays a key role in mediating inflammatory response. TNF-α is related to inflammation, which is significantly up-regulated by hypoxia. TGF-β is an important cytokine regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. Connective tissue growth factor can promote the growth, migration and adhesion of endothelial cell. In addition, many other molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated, and further study on the molecular mechanism of DR is urgent. With the further study of molecular mechanism, the early intervention and targeted treatment of DR will be more effective.
