Objective To investigate the status of professional identity of nursing undergraduates in different grades and to search for their different professional identity level, so as to establish a pertinent method on nursing education for promoting nursing undergraduates′professional identity. Methods By stratified sampling, a total of 286 nursing undergraduates from four grades in Dalian Medical University were surveyed by general information questionnaire and the Professional Identification Scale for Nurses. Results The average total scores of the professional identity of nursing undergraduates were (107.29±15.01) points. There was significant difference in the total score and the five dimensions of professional identity,F=5.625, 5.258, 7.459, 4.182, 6.891, 7.299, P<0.01. Professional identity score was on the rise along with the grade growth, but the score of grade two was significant lower than the other three grades, and the score showed an increase in grade three; grade, whether profession was consistent with their own interests or not, the reasons of choosing the profession were the important factors affecting professional identity of nursing undergraduates. Conclusions The professional identity score of nursing undergraduates is in medium level and remains to be improved. It is suggested that nursing educators should take corresponding measures according to different grades, own interest and physical and mental characteristics of the students, so as to improve their professional identity and lay the foundation for stability and sustainable development of the nursing team in the future.

Objective To explore the effect of postoperative progressive resistance training (PRT) on the upper limb function in breast cancer patients. Methods 66 breast cancer patients were randomly divided into intervention group (n=33) and control group (n=33). The intervention group accepted a 12-week PRT and the control group accepted the routine training since 4-6 weeks postoperative as they admitted to hospital for their first chemotherapy. All the patients received a same content of health education. Results The grip strength, range of motion of abduction and flexion of shoulder were more in the intervention group than in the control group after intervention (P<0.01). Conclusion PRT can effectively improve the function of upper limbs in breast cancer patients.

AIM:To investigate the effect of L-arginine(L-Arg) on expression of bcl-2,bax mRNA during pulmonary ischemia and reperfusion injury(PIRI) in rabbits.METHODS: Single lung ischemia and reperfusion animal model was used in vivo.The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: sham operated group(sham,n=12),ischemia-reperfusion group(I/R,n=12) and I/R+ L-arginine group(L-Arg,n=12).Changes of several parameters,which included apoptotic index(AI),wet to dry ratio of lung tissue weight(W/D) and index of quantitative assessment of histologic lung injury(IQA),were measured at 300 min after reperfusion in lung tissue.Meanwhile the location and expression of bcl-2,bax mRNA as well as the ratio of bcl-2 mRNA/bax mRNA were observed.The lung tissue was prepared for light microscopic and electron microscopic observation at 60,180 and 300 min after reperfusion.RESULTS: As compared with I/R group,in intima and extima of small pulmonary artery,alveoli,and bronchiole epithelia,the expression of bcl-2 mRNA and the ratio of bcl-2 mRNA/bax mRNA were increased,and the expression of bax mRNA was decreased in L-Arg treatment group.The values of AI,W/D and IQA showed significantly lower than that in I/R group at 180 minutes after reperfusion in lung tissue(P

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of depression symptoms in residents, and to analyze the demographic characteristics, training status and psychological influencing factors in order to provide the evidence for the mental health management and intervention of residents in China at current stage.Methods:A total of 1 050 participants from eight different training centers in Shenyang, Dalian, Jinzhou and Fushun of Liaoning Province were investigated by Pittsburgh sleep quality index, International physical activity questionnaire, Survey of perceived organizational support, Psychological capital questionnaire and Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire, which covered questions including social demographic information, training information, sleep status, physical activity, organization support, psychological capital, job satisfaction and depressive symptoms of residents. SPSS 22.0 were used to carry out statistical analysis such as logistic regression.Results:A total of 962 valid questionnaires were collected and the results showed that 44.59% (429/962) of residents had depressive symptoms. High training grade ( ORPGY-3=1.775, P=0.006) and poor quality of sleep ( OR=1.662, P<0.001) were risk factors of depressive symptoms, whereas psychological capital ( OR=0.962, P<0.001) and job satisfaction ( OR=0.972, P=0.001) were protective factors of depressive symptoms. Conclusion:The prevalence of depressive symptoms is high in residents. Training grade, sleep quality, psychological capital and job satisfaction are closely associated with the high prevalence of depressive symptoms, which should be paid more attention to.

Objective:To explore the effects of acupuncture combined with Buyang Huanwu Decoction on intestinal flora in cerebral blood flow hypo perfusion model rats with carotid artery stenosis.Methods:Totally 40 rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group, TCM treatment group and acupuncture and drug combination treatment group, with 10 rats in each group. Except the sham-operation group, the other groups were prepared cerebral ischemia model by needle control and thread embolism method. TCM treatment group received Buyang Huanwu Decoction 100 mg/kg for gavage, once a day, and the intervention lasted for 2 weeks. In the acupuncture and drug combination group, based on the TCM treatment group, Baihui and its left and right sides of 2 mm were selected for acupuncture, once a day, and continuous intervention was performed for 2 weeks. Neurological function evaluation and behavioral function score were performed 7 and 14 days after administration, respectively. 16S rRNA sequencing was used to comprehensively characterize the structure and composition of fecal microflora of rats in each group. Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) was used to analyze the difference of intestinal bacteria among groups.Result:On the 7th and 14th day after administration, compared with the model group, the neurological function score in the TCM treatment group and the acupuncture and drug combination group decreased ( P<0.05), and the behavioral function score increased ( P<0.05). Compared with model group, the Shannon index of TCM treatment group and acupuncture and drug combination group increased ( P<0.05). The abundance of Firmicutes increased ( P<0.05), and the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria decreased ( P<0.05); the abundance of Clostridia increased ( P<0.05), and the abundance of Gammaproteobacteria decreased ( P<0.05). The abundance of Escherichia-Shigella and Bacteroides decreased ( P<0.05); the abundance of lactobacillus significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture combined with Buyang Huanwu Decoction can improve the symptoms of cerebral hypoperfusion model rats with carotid artery stenosis, and the mechanism may be to increase the abundance of probiotics.

Objective:To prevent postoperative myocardial oedema or other causes of acute heart failure in congenital cardiac disease,anticipating delay sternal closure may reduce the number of children requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation after surgery.The aim of this study was to describe the rate of delay sternal closure after surgery for congenital cardiac disease and to analyse the risk factors that may be associated with it.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed all surgeries with extracorporeal circulation in the cardiothoracic surgery intensive care unit of Shanghai Children's Medical Center in the past five years,from September 2014 to December 2018.The study cohort was divided into the delay sternal closure group (n=418) and the control group (routine chest closure,n=12 188) according to whether a delay sternal closure was applicated.Risk factors associated with delay sternal closure were identified by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 12 606 cases were eligible,of which 418 (3.32%) were in the delayed sternal closure group.The most common cardiac diagnosis in the delayed sternal group was transposition of the great arteries (26.8%,112/418),whereas the most common cardiac diagnosis in the control group was ventricular septal defect (45.9%,5 599/12 188).All-cause mortality in children in the delayed sternal closure group was 3.3% (14/418) compared with 0.4% (46/12 188) in the control group,with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the need for delayed sternal closure were associated with age ( OR 0.164,95% CI 0.079-0.338, P<0.001),positive intropic support before surgery ( OR 0.42,95% CI 0.252-0.699, P=0.001),sex（ OR 0.742，95% CI 0.648-1.098， P<0.05），mean body weight（ OR 1.192，95% CI 1.078-1.318， P<0.001），positive intropic support before surgery（ OR 0.370，95% CI 0.252-0.699， P<0.001），complicated surgery ( OR 0.241,95% CI 0.159-0.367, P<0.001) and extracorporeal circulation diversion time ( OR 6.412,95% CI 4.339-9.475, P<0.001). Conclusion:Delayed sternal closure is an important management strategy for congenital cardiac surgery in infants and children.Delayed sternal closure is associated with age，sex,mean body weight at the time of surgery,positive intropic support before surgery，complicated surgery and extracorporeal circulation diversion time.

Background: The incidence density of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and the effect of a healthy lifestyle on the risk of MAFLD remain unknown. We evaluated the prevalence and incidence density of MAFLD and investigated the association between healthy lifestyle and the risk of MAFLD. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 37,422 participants to explore the prevalence of MAFLD. A cohort analysis of 18,964 individuals was conducted to identify the incidence of MAFLD, as well as the association between healthy lifestyle and MAFLD. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to calculate the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) with adjustments for confounding factors. Results: The prevalence of MAFLD, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and their comorbidities were 30.38%, 28.09%, and 26.13%, respectively. After approximately 70 thousand person-years of follow-up, the incidence densities of the three conditions were 61.03, 55.49, and 51.64 per 1,000 person-years, respectively. Adherence to an overall healthy lifestyle was associated with a 19% decreased risk of MAFLD (HR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.72 to 0.92), and the effects were modified by baseline age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Subgroup analyses revealed that younger participants, men, and those with a lower BMI experienced more significant beneficial effects from healthy lifestyle. Conclusion Our results highlight the beneficial effect of adherence to a healthy lifestyle on the prevention of MAFLD. Health management for improving dietary intake, physical activity, and smoking and drinking habits are critical to improving MAFLD.
