Objective To understand the level of neonatal pain knowledge and attitudes of neonatal and obstetric department nurses, in order to supply the clinical basis for neonatal pain management. Methods Self-designed questionnaires to fill out on-site were distributed to 107 neonatal and obstetric department nurses (of which 40 were from neonatal department, 67 from obstetric department) for neonatal pain knowledge and attitudes. Results About question of neonatal pain, the average percentage of correct answers in the neonatal group was 75.5%, higher than 66.3% of the obstetric group, in the neonatal group, correct rate of seven questions was more than 80%,while in the obstetric group the correct rate of only one question was more than 80%, and 5 questions correct response rate was significantly lower than that of the neonatal group, the difference was significant. All nursing staff considered it essential or necessary to carry out the nursing knowledge of pain-related training. 95.0%(38/40) of neonatal nurses believed that they could properly assess the extent of neonatal pain, but only 83.6% (56/67) for the obstetric group, the difference between the two groups was significant. 97.5% (39/40) of neonatal nurses believed that they could make the right judgments on neonatal crying, and only 85.1%( 57/67) in the obstetric nurses, the difference between the two groups was significant.Conclusions Neonatal pain has gradually been recognized and paid attention to by the clinical front-line medical staff, they believe that it is necessary to receive training on neonatal pain, knowledge of neonatal pain of neonatal nurses is better than obstetric nurses.

Objective To establish an LC-MS/MS method for the detection of landiolol concentration in human blood.Methods After pretreatment with neostigmine and a deproteinization procedure, landiolol and the internal standard venlafaxine were eluted isocratically using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 10 mmoL·L-1 ammonium acetate with 0. 1% formic acid in a ratio of 3664 ( V/V ) . Separation of the respective compounds was achieved on a Waters XTerra? RP18 column (150 mmí4. 6 mm,5 μm). Quantitative analysis of landiolol was conducted by a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer with positive-electrospray ionization source,monitored under a multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode. The extracted ions monitored following MRM transitions were m/z 510. 5→423. 1 for landiolol and m/z 278. 2→215. 1 for the internal standard venlafaxine. ResultsThe calibration curve of landiolol in human blood showed good linear relationship in the range of 1. 010-2 020 μg·L-1 . The lower limit of quantitation was 1. 010 μg · L-1 . The RSD of within-day and between-day precision was less than 6. 5% and 4. 8%, respectively. The recovery rate was 92. 6%-100. 9%. Conclusion The method is proven to be simple,rapid and reliable,and can be applied to study the pharmacokinetics of landiolol hydrochloride in healthy Chinese volunteers.

Objective :
Objective To investigate the demand for health management and influencing factors among occupational population at high risk of stroke, so as to provide insights into the development of stroke health management strategies among occupational population.
Methods:
Occupational population aged 40 to 60 years who participated in health examination were sampled from three tertiary hospitals in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province using a quota sampling method in the ratio of 4∶1∶1, from August to December 2020. Participants' blood biochemistry tests and health examination were collected through the examination reports, and the participants at high risk of stroke were screened using the assessment criteria for high-risk of stroke. Participants' general information and demand for health management were collected using questionnaire surveys. In addition, factors affecting the demand for health management were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 3 003 people who participated in health examination were investigated, and 1 062 participants met the assessment criteria for high risk of stroke, accounting for 35.36%. There were 1 000 men (94.16%) and 62 women (5.84%), with a mean age of (49.26±4.97) years. There were 414 professional and technical staff (39.50%). There were 709 participants (66.76%) with demand for health management, with the top three in the demand as health checkups (915 participants, accounting for 86.16%), health consultation (601 participants, accounting for 56.60%) and exercise guidance (560 participants, accounting for 52.73%), and 210 participants (19.77%) received health management. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that occupational population at high risk of stroke who received health management were more likely to have the demand for health management (OR=2.158, 95%CI: 1.479-3.149).
Conclusions
The occupational population at high risk of stroke have the demand for health management. Having received health management may affect the demand for health management among occupational population at high risk of stroke.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation between clinical data and pathological stage in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and to provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment. MethodsThe clinical data of 54 PBC patients were collected for analyzing the correlation between the clinical data and pathological stage. The clinical data included biochemical parameters, immunological markers, and autoantibodies. Biopsy of the liver was used for the pathological staging of PBC. For the continuous data of normal distribution, analysis of variance was applied for comparisons between groups; for continuous data of skewed distribution, Wilcoxon rank sum test was used. For categorical data, chi-square test was used. Correlation analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and logistic regression. ResultsAmong the 54 patients, the male-to-female ratio was 1∶5; the mean age was 48.9±9.3 years; pathological stage Ⅰ was identified in 15 cases, stage Ⅱ in 18 cases, stage Ⅲ in 12 cases, and stage Ⅳ in 9 cases, and patients with stage Ⅳ disease were significantly older than the other patients (P<0.05). Total bilirubin (TBil), alkaline phosphatase, prothrombin time, IgA, IgG, and SP200 were positively correlated with pathological stage (r=0.592, 0.343, 0.281, 0.388, 0.274, and 0.320, respectively, P<0.05), while a negative correlation was found between albumin and pathological stage (r=-0.569, P=0.000). Multivariate analysis revealed an independent correlation between TBil level and pathological stage (P=0.039). Patients with the same pathological stage might have different clinical stages, while those with the same clinical stage might have different pathological stages. ConclusionsThe same pathological stage may appear in different clinical stages. TBil level is an independent predictive factor for pathological stage in PBC patients.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) accompanied by autoimmune phenomena and to provide evidence for clinical practice. MethodsAn analysis was performed on the clinical data of 51 patients who were admitted to Beijing You′an Hospital from 2011 to 2013 and diagnosed with DILI. The participants were divided into anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)-positive group and ANA-negative group and, according to the simple scoring system for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), divided into low-score (sore: 1-4) group and high-score (score≥5) group, respectively. Comparison was made for laboratory parameters [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBil), albumin (Alb), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), prothrombin time (PT), immunoglobulin M(IgM), immunoglobulin A(IgA), immunoglobulin G(IgG)], length of hospital stay, and recurrence. Comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups was performed by t test, comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups was made by rank-sum test, and comparison of categorical data between groups was conducted by chi-square test. Results Among the 51 patients, 34 cases were positive for ANA, and 17 cases were negative for ANA; 17 cases were in the high-score group, and 34 cases were in the low-score group. There were no significant differences in ALT, TBil, Alb, ALP, GGT, PT, and IgM between the two groups for both grouping criteria (all P>0.05). AST and IgG differed significantly between the two groups for both grouping criteria (all P<0.05). The IgG level and recurrence rate in the high-score group (3.87±1.73 g/L and 10/17) were significantly higher than those in the low-score group (2.75±1.38 g/L and 8/34) (both P<0.05). ConclusionThe clinical manifestations are similar between patients with DILI alone and those with DILI accompanied by autoimmune phenomena. The simple scoring system for AIH is worthy of clinical application in DILI accompanied by autoimmune phenomena.
