Objective:To investigate the effect of flexible visiting policies in ICUs by comparing with restrictive visiting policies.Methods:English database (Pubmed, embase, Cochrane library, scopus, OvidSP, Wiley Online library, Google scholar and web of science) and Chinese database (CNKI, VIP, CBM and Wanfang) are retrieved, the search time is up to February 2020. The included literatures were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively.Results:The flexible visiting policies can reduce the risk of delirium in ICU patients [RR=0.59, 95%CI=(0.36,0.96)], shorten the length of stay [MD=-0.21, 95%CI=(-0.35,-0.06)], improve patients' anxiety symptoms [MD=-2.2, 95%CI=(-3.8,-0.61)], reduce the incidence of anxiety and depression and improve the nursing satisfaction of patients and their families, without increasing the risk of ICU acquired infection [RR= 0.77, 95% CI= (0.51, 1.16)] and patient mortality (RR= 0.82, 95% CI= (0.53, 1.26)]. Sensitivity analysis suggested that the results were stable.Conclusions:Compared with the current restrictive visitation policies, the flexible visitation system can reduce the risk of delirium, improve anxiety symptoms and depression, and obtain more satisfaction from family members and patients, and It can be tried further.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors on re-examination compliance of patients with breast cancer Who were in the stage of recovery.Methods By clinic services and telephones,we investigated the reexamination compliance of 189 cases of breast cancer.Results 66.1% of the cases took periodic re-examinations and on the opposite,33.9% of the patients didn't do so.Statistical meaning could be found from the difference of ages,living sites and survival time limits(P＜0.05).Conclusions The main factors to influence the re-examination compliance of patients with breast cancer are age,living site and survival time limit.And it is possible to improve the re-examination compliance of patients by enhancing health education,raising medicsl levels and service qualities,and creating comfortable environment for patients.

Objective To evaluate desmopressin stimulated inferior petrosal sinus sampling in diagnosing Cushing′s disease.Methods Sixteen ACTH-dependent Cushing′s disease patients underwent bilateral desmopressin stimulated inferior petrosal sinus ( IPS ) sampling because of negative or equivocal magnetic resonance imaging.Cortisol response to high-dose dexamethasone suppression test was also evaluated.ACTH sampling was taken from a peripheral vein and bilateral IPS before and both 5 and 10 min after injection of desmopressin.Diagnosis was based on the ratio of ACTH level in between IPS to peripheral vein by desmopressin test.Diagnosis was confirmed after surgery.Results High-dose dexamethasone suppression test showed suppressible in 9 of 16 patients with Cushing′s disease.An IPS gradient ＞2 was found in 14 of the 16 cases (87.5％ )with Cushing′s disease after desmopressin injection,while before injection the respective figure was 12 of 16 (75.0％).No severe adverse effects were observed during or after the procedure.Conclusion Desmopressin test during bilateral IPS sampling is a safe and effective diagnostic procedure in Cushing′s disease.

Objective:Iron accumulation is related to the occurrence of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Meanwhile, autophagy abnormality of bone marrow hematopoietic cells is observed in hip osteoporotic fracture. This study is performed to investigate correlation between iron accumulation induced bone loss and hematopoietic autophagy dysfunction to explore the new risk factor of osteoporosis.Methods:Male iron accumulation mice model was established by intraperitoneally injecting ferric ammonium citrate. Serum ferritin and osteogenic indicator P1NP were tested by ELISA. Bone mineral density was measured by micro-CT. Femur and tibia bone marrows were collected for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells proportion and cell apoptosis analysis. Autolysosome formation was measured by image flow cytometry. We used conditional mouse model Atg7 flox/flox; Vav-Cre(Atg7 -/-) in which Atg7 had been genetically deleted in the hematopoietic system. Bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells were collected for RNA sequence. micro-CT scan was conducted for Atg7 -/- femur. Results:Ferritin level of iron accumulation mice was significantly higher than control group( P<0.05). Iron accumulation inhibited P1NP and induced decreased bone mineral density( P<0.05). Iron accumulation bone marrow displayed enhanced hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells proportion( P<0.05), with more cell apoptosis( P<0.05). Hematopoietic autophagy was deteriorated in iron accumulation bone marrow. Transcriptomic profiling showed up-regulation of iron activity in Atg7 -/- mice, with increased iron homeostasis and iron membrane transporter genes, including Lcn2, Tfr2, Slc40a1(Fpn1), Steap3, and Cpox. micro-CT revealed severe bone loss and decreased bone mineral density in Atg7 -/- mice( P<0.05). Conclusion:Iron accumulation induced bone loss is related to inhibition of hematopoietic cells. Hematopoietic autophagy dysfunction is associated with bone loss.

Objective: To understand the trends and associated factors of tuberculosis knowledge and behavior among freshmen from Jiangsu Province, 2019 to 2022, so as to provide theoretical support for the popularization of tuberculosis knowledge and the prevention and control of tuberculosis in universities. Methods: From 2019 to 2022, a total of 33 944 freshmen from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province were selected by stratified random sampling, and tuberculosis knowledge and behavior were surveyed online using a selfdesigned questionnaire. Oneway variance trend test and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the trend of knowledge and behavior levels, and a multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors. Results: The overall awareness rate of tuberculosis among freshmen from Jiangsu Province was 90.6%, and the overall awareness rates from 2019 to 2022 were 88.4%, 90.4%, 91.7%, and 91.8%, respectively. The overall behavioral accuracy rate was 92.3%, with the annual rates from 2019 to 2022 being 91.8%, 92.3%, 92.7%, and 92.4%, respectively. Both the awareness rate and accuracy behavior rate increased annually (F=216.67, 11.75, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that school type, ethnicity, fathers educational level, mothers educational level, mothers occupation, family per capita monthly income, and living arrangement in high school affected both personal knowledge awareness rate and personal behavioral accuracy rate (β=-0.047-0.035, P<0.01), while region, gender, family residence, and being an only child only affected behavioral accuracy rate (β=-0.003-0.032, P<0.05). Conclusions The tuberculosis knowledge and behavior levels of freshmen from Jiangsu Province have been increasing by year. Targeted health education should be carried out based on the relevant influencing factors to further enhance the tuberculosis prevention and control literacy.

AIM: To study the toxicity of genipin-a kind of geniposide metabolites induced human tubular epithelial cells HK-2 and its effect on NLRP3 pathway. METHODS: The dose of GP on HK-2 cells were preliminarily determined by CCK8 method, the apoptosis or necrosis rate of HK-2 cells was detected by Hoechst 33342 / PI, the level of LDH release and reactive oxygen species was detected by Kits, and mitochondrial membrane potential and intracellular calcium ion concentration were detected by high content imaging. Real-time PCR detected mRNA levels of kindey injury factor-1, osteopontin, NLRP3, Caspase-1, interleukin 1β, and interleukin 18. RESULTS: Compared with the 0 μg / mL group, GP>50 μg/mL significantly reduced cell viability (P< 0.05, P<0.01), and the IC50 value was 110.50 μg/mL. Set the control group, the low, medium and high dose groups of GP (50, 100, 200 μg/mL); Compared with the control group, the cell density decreased in the medium and high dose groups of GP, and the PI positivity, LDH release, ROS, Ca
