Polycythemia vera (PV) is a chronic clonal myeloproliferative disorder of hematopoietic stem cell characterized by a pronounced symptom burden, including fatigue, pruritus, and symptomatic splenomegaly, along with an increased risk of thrombosis and the potential for evolution to myelofibrosis (MF) and secondary acute myeloid leukemia. Research on pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of PV has made a great progress since the discovery of JAK2 V617F mutation in 2005. The change of epigenetics plays an important role in the progression of PV, and the drugs for apparent genetic alteration may improve the life quality of PV patients.

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 investigate the incidence and risk factors of adverse drug reactions in hematological system induced by linezolid.Methods In this retrospective study, 124 inpatients treated with linezolid (n=62) or vancomycin (n=62) for anti-infective therapy between January 2012 and December 2015 in clinical departments of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were included.The incidence hematological adverse drug reactions were observed, and the single factor and the multiple factor Logistic regression methods were used to analyze the risk factors of developing thrombocytopenia and decline of hemoglobin.Results Among the 62 inpatients treated with linezolid, thrombocytopenia occurred in 21 patients(33.87%), and decline of hemoglobin occurred in 17 patients (27.42%).No patient discontinued the use of linezolid for the reason of thrombocytopenia or decline of hemoglobin.In multiple stepwise regression analysis, linezolid use[OR=7.699,95%CI (1.408,42.090),P=0.019], treatment duration>14 d[OR=7.639,95%CI(1.162,50.226),P=0.034], baseline eGFR<80 mL·min-1[OR=6.150,95%CI(1.604,23.577),P=0.008], baseline ALB<25 g·L-1[OR=4.078,95%CI(1.017,16.351),P=0.047] and baseline platelet count<200×109·L-1[OR=6.148,95%CI(1.705,22.172),P=0.006] were independent risk factors for thrombocytopenia;linezolid use [OR=4.335,95%CI(1.308,14.365),P=0.016] and baseline ALB<25 g·L-1[OR=5.424,95%CI(1.824,16.129),P=0.002] were independent risk factors for the decline of hemoglobin.Conclusion The incidences of thrombocytopenia and anemia induced by linezolid are not rare, and most of them can be returned to normal.The risk factors of thrombocytopenia and anemia should be concerned and the routine blood test should be monitored during use.

Huolinguole lignite was sequentially extracted with carbon disulfide, ethyl acetate, methanol and acetone.All of the extracts were analyzed using a time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) equipped with an atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) ion source.Toluene or 1,4-difluorobenzene was chosen as dopant for APPI.The results indicated that both dopants could well ionize compounds which could not be ionized by APPI without dopant.Toluene induced higher ionization efficiency than 1,4-difluorobenzene.Some compounds in the extracts were identified as dimers, which might be formed via molecular association.Heteroatoms were identified in all of the associated molecules.Molecular weight distributions under three APPI ionization modes were similar.Compounds with molecular weight from 200 to 500 Da occupied 60% of all the products and around 10% of the products had molecular weight over 500 Da.

Objective To evaluate the role of Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B ( NF-κB) signaling pathway in the development of postoperative chronic pain and the relationship with ex-pression of voltage-gated sodium channel 1. 7 (Nav 1. 7) in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) of rats. Meth-ods Thirty-six clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 9-11 weeks, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: control group ( group C) , normal saline group ( group NS) and TLR4 antagonist LPS-RS group ( group R) . Postoperative chronic pain was produced by skin/muscle incision and retraction (SMIR). From 1 day before SMIR to 10 days after SMIR, NS group received continuous intrathecal injection of normal saline 10μl, while R group received continuous intrathecal injection of LPS-RS 20μg/10μl. Six rats were randomly selected in each group, and the mechanical pain threshold was measured at 1 day before SMIR and 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 days after SMIR. The 6 rats left in each group were sacrificed at day 10 after SMIR, and the DRGs of the lumbar seg-ment (L4,5) were removed for determination of the expression of phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB) and Nav 1. 7. Results Compared with group C, the mechanical pain threshold was significantly decreased at 5-20 days after SMIR, and the expression of p-NF-κB and Nav1. 7 was up-regulated at 10 days after SMIR in group NS ( P＜0. 01) . Compared with group NA, the mechanical pain threshold was significantly increased at 5-20 days after SMIR, and the expression of p-NF-κB and Nav 1. 7 was down-regulated at 10 days after SMIR in group R (P＜0. 01). Conclusion Up-regulated expression of Nav1. 7 in DRGs after activating TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway is involved in the development of postoperative chronic pain in rats.

Objective To investigate the levels and significance of Th17 cells and regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood of children with allergic rhinitis during pollen and non-pollen seasons.Methods Thirteen children with hay fever, 10 children with house dust mite(HDM)-allergic asthma and 10 healthy children were recruited into this study.Percentages of Th17 and Treg cells were detected by flow cytometry.Levels of IL-17, IL-10 and TGF-β in cell culture supernatants were measured by ELISA.Results (1) The percentages of Th17 cells in children with allergic rhinitis [(3.4±2.4)%] were significantly higher than those in HDM-allergic asthmatics [(2.1±1.6)%] and those in healthy children [(0.5±0.3)%] during pollen season (both P<0.05).The levels of Treg cells in allergic rhinitis group [(2.1±1.3)%] and in HDM-allergic asthma group [(3.6±1.9)%] were significantly lower than those in healthy control group [(5.5±2.8)%] (both P<0.05).The levels of Th17 cells [(3.0±1.9)% vs (3.4±2.4)%, P<0.05] and ratios of Th17/Treg cells [(1.4±1.0)% vs (1.7±1.5)%, P<0.05] in children with allergic rhinitis were significantly decreased during non-pollen season as compared with those during pollen season, but the levels of Treg cells were up-regulated [(2.4±1.6)% vs (2.1±1.3)%, P<0.05].(2) Correlation analysis revealed that the ratios of Th17/Treg cells were positively correlated with the concentrations of FeNO (fractional concentration of exhaled NO) (r=0.321, P<0.05) and the counts of circulating eosinophils (r=0.198, P<0.05) in children with allergic rhinitis during pollen season.Conclusion The imbalanced Th17 and Treg cells in children with allergic rhinitis during pollen season might play a vital role in the regulation of allergic airway inflammation.

Objective:To systematically integrate the attitudes and experiences of medical staffs towards the family presence during resuscitation and provide a reference for the development of family presence during resuscitation clinical practice in China.Methods:To search PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CINAHL, CNKI, CBM and Wanfang database for qualitative studies on medical staff's attitudes and experiences of family presence during resuscitation since its inception to August 2022. 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.
