Objective To understand the degree of resilience of emergency nurses and ICU nurses, and analyze the effects of resilience on work engagement of nurses working in the emergency and ICU departments in tertiary hospitals in Chengdu city. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey. A total number of 660 nurses from7 hospital in Chengdu were selected by a convenient sampling method. Results The mean resilience score of the emergency and ICU nurses in Sichuan province was (123.07± 23.76) points, the mean score of work engagement was(2.70±1.20) points. There was a positive relationship between emergency and ICU nurses′ resilience score and nurses′ work engagement (r=0.394, P < 0.01). Nurses with higher level of resilience indicated higher work engagement score (F=35.77, P < 0.05). Conclusions The resilience score of the emergency and ICU nurses in tertiary hospitals of Chengdu city was at a low level. Higher resilient emergency and ICU nurses tended to have the higher level of work engagement.

Objective: To investigate the effects of acupuncture on the number of associated phosphorylated proteins in brain tissues of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats, based on the protein microarray technique. Methods: The MCAO model was prepared according to the modified occlusion method using occlusion lines. Forty healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 4 groups using the lottery method: a sham operation group, a model group, a control point group and an acupoint group, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the sham operation group and the model group only received binding without acupuncture. Rats in the acupoint group received acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14), Baihui (GV 20) and Shuigou (GV 25); rats in the control point group received acupuncture at non-acupoint control points. The needle was twisted once for 1 min after insertion and another time in the middle of the 30 min needle retaining. Acupuncture was conducted once every 12 h for 6 consecutive times. At the end of the experiment, the neurological impairment score was collected, and cells of the ischemic brain tissues were extracted. The protein phosphorylation of the related signaling was detected using the 720 phosphorylated antibody microarray technique, and the differentially expressed proteins between groups were screened. Results: The neurological impairment scores after 72 h of treatment: compared with the sham operation group, the scores of the model group, the control point group and the acupoint group were significantly increased (P<0.01); compared with the model group, the scores of the acupoint group and the control point group were significantly decreased (P<0.01,P<0.05); the score of the acupoint group was better than that of the control point group (P<0.05). The results of the protein microarray: compared with the sham operation group, 48 proteins showed up-regulated phosphorylation (≥1.5 times) in the model group and the down-regulated was 28; compared with the model group, 35 proteins showed up-regulated phosphorylation in the control point group, and the down-regulated was 24. There were 29 proteins showing up-regulated phosphorylation in the acupoint group and the down-regulated was 51. The numbers of proteins involved in the function and signal transduction pathways were also different. Conclusion: Acupuncture at Dazhui (GV 14), Baihui (GV 20) and Shuigou (GV 25) can effectively repair brain injury. The ischemic injury of brain tissue may be caused by imbalance of a variety of proteins, and acupuncture can promote brain tissue repair by multi-functional and multi-channel regulation of the protein disorders.

Based on image segmentation of virtual human, we constructed human tissue mechanics model, built virtual acupuncture-force-feedback system, and faithful y transmitted to the operator by a force feedback device. On one hand, based on VOXEL-MAN virtual human development platform, we finished the three-dimensional browser redevelopment of the science of acupuncture and moxibustion of Shu acupoint, which provided visual perception for people. On the other hand, based on modern biomechanics theory, we established models by graphics and image processing technology and force feedback technology. The stress process of the structure of each layer in the acupuncture point area was given to people in a sense of touch by the manner of virtual reality and force feedback. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the man-machine interactive operation platform of virtual acupuncture force feedback system, operator could see the dynamic process of acupuncture needle into human body, and could feel the real counterforce in the control terminal of force feedback instrument. By operating acupuncture needle in virtual environment of force feedback instrument, acupuncture was performed in virtual human. The system meets the two requirements:the feedback changes produced by tissue interaction were similar to real acupuncture feedback force data measured by instrument. The acupuncture needle entered into different tissues, a sense of power changed significantly;there was progressive feeling with different layers, reaching a realistic experience. During the whole training, the image was smooth;virtual needle was responsive, which better meets the requirements of virtual reality.

Objective To review our experience of reoperations for pulmonary venous stenosis (PVS) after total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) repair for the past decade in Fuwai Hospital. Methods Nine patients underwent reoperation for PVS between 2009 and 2019 in Fuwai Hospital, including 4 males and 5 females with an average age of 5.10±5.00 years. The patients were divided into a sutureless group (n=3) and a non-sutureless group (n=6). Clinical data were reviewed and analyzed. Results For primary TAPVC type, 4 patients were supracardiac, 2 patients were cardiac, 1 patient was infracardiac, and 2 patients were mixed-type anomaly. The median cardiopulmonary bypass time was 95 (63, 208) min, aortic clamping time was 58 (30, 110) min, ICU stay was 24 (24, 2 136) h. Early hospital death occured in 1 (11.1%) patient. One (11.1%) patient with single ventricle physiology had hospital comorbidity, who underwent hemofitration therapy. The follow-up time was 11.9 (2.2, 18.0) months, during which 1 patient died of restenosis of pulmonary vein and another patient died of stroke. No statistically significant difference was found between the sutureless group and non-sutureless group in postoperative or follow-up results (P>0.05). Conclusion Surgery is effective for treatment of PVS after repair of TAPVC, yet with a realatively high morbidity and mortality. The advantage of sutureless repair over conventional repair for this particular group of patients is yet to be verified.
