Objective:To understand the current level of work engagement of new nurses and analyze the relationship between the variables of emotion regulation difficulties, job crafting, and work engagement, to provide a theoretical basis for nursing managers to develop interventions to enhance the level of work engagement of new nurses.Methods:The convenience sampling method was applied to select a total of 637 new nurses from 11 tertiary levels A hospitals in Beijing City, Zhejiang Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Anhui Province, and Hubei Province from April to June 2022 as the respondents, and the general information questionnaire, Emotion Regulation Difficulties Scale, Job Crafting Scale and Work Engagement Scale were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. The mediation effect was analyzed by AMOS 26.0 structural equation model.Results:Finally, 626 new nurses were included, and scored (31.08 ± 10.94) points on the Work Engagement Scale, with a mean entry score of (3.45 ± 1.22) points. Work engagement was significantly negatively associated with difficulties in emotion regulation ( r=-0.291, P<0.01) and positively associated with job crafting ( r=0.724, P<0.01). Analysis of mediating effects revealed that job crafting partially mediated the relationship between difficulties in emotion regulation and work engagement ( β=-0.424, P<0.001). Conclusions:New nurses' work engagement was at an intermediate level, and job crafting partially mediated the relationship between emotion regulation difficulties and work engagement. Nursing managers should strengthen training on emotion regulation strategies for new nurses and construct intervention strategies based on job crafting, to improve new nurses′ work engagement.

Intraocular lymphoma (IOL) is a rare lymphocytic malignancy. The gold standard for the definite diagnosis remains histopathologic examination of the ocular specimen. But cytologic confirmation of malignant lymphoma cells in vitreous or chorioretinal specimens is challenging and dependending on highly skilled cytopathologist, due to the sparse cellularity and specimen degeneration. Consequently, false-negative rates arecommon, which delays diagnosis and treatment seriously. Because of the limited diagnostic capacity of cytology, other adjunct diagnostic tools have been developed. Additional procedures that may support IOL diagnosis include flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, cytokines study with identification of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-6 level, and polymerase chain reaction amplification. And more recently, new techniques of mutational analysis have been validated for the diagnosis of vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) and may represent a helpful diagnostic tool for the detection of early cases. Metagenomic deep sequencing technology may provide an important basis for IOL diagnosis and personalized treatment. In the future, it is expected to deepen the understanding of IOL disease phenotypes at the molecular level, discover new target therapies, monitor response to treatment, and detect intraocular recurrences. These may offer insights into how we might create a tailored therapeutic approach for each patient's VRL in the future.

To evaluate whether the in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) procedures could increases the risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) in offspring.
Methods: A hospital-based prospective cohort design was conducted, which contained a control group of singleton pregnancies with indicators of subfertility who were still conceived naturally after using simple medical treatment (e.g. minimal medical intervention or ovulation induction), and an exposure group consisted of singleton pregnancies who had a history of infertility and IVF-ET treatment. All factors different between two groups in the univariate analysis were included in the multivariable logistic regression to evaluate the independent effect of IVF-ET procedures themselves on APOs.
Results: After controlling for confounding factors by using multivariate logistic regression analysis, our results showed that pregnancies after IVF-ET experienced a higher risk of preterm birth (OR=1.28, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.56), low birth weight (OR=1.69, 95% CI 1.27 to 2.31), perinatal mortality (OR=5.33, 95% CI 2.44 to 11.81), and congenital malformations (OR=1.83, 95% CI 1.12 to 2.94).
Conclusion: The IVF-ET operational factors may increase the risk of APOs.
