Objective To investigate the status quo and the relationship between emotional intelligence and resilience of emergency and ICU nurses in tertiary general hospitals in Chengdu. Methods A total of 660 emergency and ICU nurses were surveyed by a pack of questionnaires including the General Information Questionnaire, the Resilience Scale and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. Results The average total score of the resilience scale was 123.07 ±23.76 and the average item score of the resilience scale was 4.92±0.95. The average total score of the emotional intelligence scale was 58.69±8.74 and the average item score of the emotional intelligence scale was 3.67±0.55. The correlation coefficient between the emotional intelligence and the resilience was 0.62 (P<0.01). Three subdimensions of the emotional intelligence including the usage of emotion, the appraisal of self-emotion, the regulation of emotion and the positions of nurses accounted for 43.3%of the variances of the resilience. Conclusions Emotional intelligence played an important role in affecting the psychological resilience of emergency and ICU nurses in tertiary general hospitals in Chengdu, it could positively predict the resilience of nurses.

Objective: To investigate the second-hand smoke behavior at home among smokers, so as to provide the reference for developing home tobacco control strategies. Methods: Permanent residents who were smokers and at the ages of 15 years and above were sampled from 10 streets (townships) in Xuhui District, Shanghai Municipality using the multi-stage random sampling and population-size proportional sampling methods in 2022. Demographic information, smoking status, awareness of second-hand smoke hazards and second-hand smoke behavior at home were collected by questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting second-hand smoke behavior at home were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 024 smokers were surveyed, including 769 males (75.10%) and 255 females (24.90%). The awareness of hazards of second-hand smoke was 33.59%; the awareness rate of second-hand smoke causing lung cancer in adults was the highest at 76.76%, while the awareness rate of second-hand smoke leading to premature birth and low birth weight in newborns was the lowest at 39.45%. There were 459 smokers with second-hand smoke behavior at home, accounting for 44.82%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that occupation (the retired, OR=2.320, 95%CI: 1.276-4.218), frequency of smoking (often, OR=5.722, 95%CI: 3.977-8.231), smoking duration (a year and above, OR=10.089, 95%CI: 5.508-18.480), electronic cigarette use (occasionally, OR=2.994, 95%CI: 1.283-6.986), living with pregnant women or infants (no, OR=2.171, 95%CI: 1.367-3.448), family indoor smoking restrictions (no restriction, OR=13.926, 95%CI: 7.538-25.727) and awareness of second-hand smoke hazards (unknown, OR=1.562, 95%CI: 1.067-2.287) were the influencing factors for second-hand smoke behavior at home. Conclusion There were 44.82% smokers in Xuhui District with second-hand smoke behavior at home, which was influenced by occupation, living situation, smoking status, family indoor smoking restriction and awareness of second-hand smoke hazards.

Objective To investigate the effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on the osteoblastic differentiation of murine MC3T3-E1 cells and its mechanism related to the Wnt signaling pathway.Methods The murine MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into 4 groups according to the stimulators added:phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (control) and different concentrations of NPY (10-8 mol/L,10-10 mol/L and 10-12 mol/L).The cellular proliferation was detected with MTT assay after 1,3,5,7 and 9 days.The cells were identified with cell immunochemistry and Western Blot to find out the most effective concentration of NPY at different time points under osteoblastic condition.The cells were then divided into 4 groups:PBS,NPY,NPY + NPY receptor antagonist,and NPY + DKK1.Western blot was used to determine the expression of β3-catenin and p-GSK-3β in each group.Nuclear signaling activity of β3-catenin was observed using immunofluorescence staining.Results NPY significantly improved the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells at 7 and 9 days (P ＜0.05).NPY (10s mol/L and 10-10 mol/L) groups and NPY (10-10 mol/L and 10-12 mol/L) groups significantly improved the ALP activity at 4 and 14 days respectively (P ＜ 0.05).At 4 days,the expression of ALP protein was significantly decreased in the NPY + DKK1 group and the NPY + NPY receptor antagonist group compared with that in the NPY group (P ＜ 0.05).Although the expression levels of [β-catenin and p-GSK-3β protein were uninfluenced in either case,NPY significantly stimulated the nuclear signaling activity of β3-catenin.Conclusions NPY may significantly increase the expression of ALP protein in MC3T3-E1 ceils during osteoblastic differentiation.This effect might be mediated through the canonical Wnt signaling pathway.

Objective To explore nurses′ perceptions of patient safety culture in emergency departments at tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province. Methods By convenient sampling method,a total of 210 emergency nurses from 6 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province were investigated with a general data questionnaire and a hospital survey on patient safety scale. Results 68.10% of the emergency nurses had positive perceptions of patient safety culture, as evidenced by the following indicators. The organization learning and continuous improvement (74. 27%), hospital management support for patient safety (72.70%), supervisor/manager expectations and actions promoting safety (78.10%), were the safety culture areas with higher percentage of positive response. Areas of non-punitive response to errors (19.67%), staffing (41.08%) had the lowest percentage of positive response. There were significant differences between such groups as years of working, education background and job title. Conclusions Patient safety culture should be improved in the emergency departments of the tertiary hospitals in Sichuan province,especially in the adverse events reporting system and staffing problem. Safety training deserves greater attention in nurses with less working experience, education background or job title in emergency departments.

Objective:To explore the effect of subject-centered informed consent in nursing research.Methods:We adopted the subject-centered informed consent in a pilot study on precision symptom in breast cancer patients.Specific measures were taken included offering training for researchers about skills regarding subject-centered informed consent,standardizing the explanation for the informed consent forms,allowing sufficient time for subjects to read the informed consent forms,encouraging subjects to raise questions to researchers,confirming that the subject were fully informed and understood the contents,subjects and researchers jointly signing,and finally,using the checklist to review the entire process.The questions and feedback about the subject-centered informed consent were statistically analyzed.Results:Almost all of patients(96.67％) were able to read the consent forms by themselves,three subjects raised questions to the researcher after reading the forms,and all subjects in our study were satisfied with the informed consent process.Conclusion:The subject-centered informed consent approach makes sure that the subjects' fights of informed consent are fully respected and is an important measure to ensure subjects' fights of informed consent.

Objective:To explore the effect of applying the wound dressing training based on Thorndike's learning theory (WCTT) in clinical nursing education.Methods:The study conducted controlled trial among nursing interns selected from Thyroid Surgery Department of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and the nursing students were divided into the experimental group ( n=51) and the control group ( n=49). Nursing students in the experimental group were trained with WCTT, while the control group adopted the traditional teaching. Two groups were investigated by the ability of wound dressing questionnaire and were examined on the practical wound dressing operation to evaluate the teaching effect. SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis. Results:Nursing students in the experimental group showed a higher self-evaluation on such aspects as understanding, interests, theoretical mastery, evaluation of wounds, practical skills, independence, fulfillment and model assessment. Meanwhile, the experimental group had a higher score of practical wound dressing operation than the control group [(93.25±2.11) points vs. (90.06±2.43) points] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:In clinical nursing teaching, WCTT could improve the wound dressing ability, independence and enthusiasm of nursing students, and this training mode had a positive effect on the clinical nursing teaching efficiency, which is worth further promotion.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic mechanism underlying a case with para-Bombay phenotype. METHODS: The ABO and Lewis phenotype were identified with serological methods. The coding regions of exons 6 and 7 of the ABO and FUT1 genes were amplified with PCR and directly sequenced. Haploid sequence analysis was carried out on the variant sites of the FUT1 gene. RESULTS: Serological analysis confirmed that the proband has a rare para-Bombay phenotype. Direct sequencing revealed that he was a B.01/O.01.02 heterozygote for the ABO gene, and had heterozygous deletion for the 768 and 881-882 sites of the FUT1 gene. Further haploid analysis showed that the c.881_882delTT deletion has occurred in one haploid while c.768delC was present in the other haploid. The proband was therefore determined as a FUT1*01N.13/01N.20 heterozygote, which have resulted in frameshift in polypeptide chain p.Phe294Cysfs*40 and p.Val257Phefs*23, respectively. CONCLUSION A rare bi-allelic heterozygous deletion of para-Bombay phenotype has been identified in a blood donor. The c.881_882delTT and c.768delC deletions may decrease the activity of α-1,2-fucosyltransferase.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor maintenance therapy after radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy for stage Ⅲ-ⅣA esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in the real world.Methods:The clinical data of 65 patients with stage Ⅲ-ⅣA ESCC treated by radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022 in Hefei Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Sciences were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether to undergo immune checkpoint inhibitor maintenance therapy after radical radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the patients were divided into a control group ( n=29) and an immune maintenance therapy group ( n=36) . The objective response rate (ORR) , progression-free survival (PFS) , and overall survival (OS) between the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the survival curve accompanied with log-rank test. Cox regression model was used to conduct both univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:The ORR was 34.5% (10/29) in the control group and 61.1% (22/36) in the immune maintenance therapy group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.56, P=0.032) . The median PFS of control group and immune maintenance therapy group were 7.2 and 17.9 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=7.86, P=0.005) . The median OS was 14.1 and 27.8 months, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.40, P=0.020) . Univariate analysis showed that, objective response ( HR=0.09, 95% CI: 0.03-0.28, P<0.001) and immune maintenance therapy ( HR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.17-0.88, P=0.024) were the influential factors of OS in ESCC patients treaded by radical chemoradiotherapy in stage Ⅲ-ⅣA. Multivariate analysis showed that, objective response ( HR=0.09, 95% CI: 0.03-0.29, P<0.001) and immune maintenance therapy ( HR=0.40, 95% CI: 0.17-0.92, P=0.032) were the independent influencing factors for OS in ESCC patients treaded by radical chemoracial therapy in stage Ⅲ-ⅣA. The incidence of adverse reactions was 22.22% (8/36) in the immune maintenance therapy group and 10.34% (3/29) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference ( χ2=1.61, P=0.204) . All the adverse reactions were grade 1-2, and the symptoms were relieved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:Maintenance therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors after radical chemoradiotherapy of stage Ⅲ-ⅣA ESCC can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with good safety.

Objective To understand the rehabilitation of postoperative patients with breast diseases, and to find out the common problems and caring key points,in order to provide a reference for the continuous nursing for breast disease patients after the discharge.MethodsA total of 1583 patients who underwent surgical treatment in thyroid and breast surgical department in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2015 to July 2016 were selected by purposive sampling method. The all patients were followed up on telephone at the time point of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after discharge. The follow-up was about patients' rehabilitation (wound, functional exercise, self-care ability and drainage), mental state, satisfaction with follow-up and so on.Results Female accounted for 1574 of the follow-up cases (99.4％). The average age of the patients was (47.20±11.97) years old. The proportion of malignant tumors was 74.6％. The average body mass index (BMI) was (22.66±2.5)kg/m2. The average surgery waiting days and the average hospitalization days were (4.12±2.40) and (8.54±3.40) respectively. The follow-up loss rate at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after discharge was 2.27％ (36/1583), 1.90％ (22/1158), 2.93％ (26/888) and 4.89％ (9/184) respectively. The differences of benign and malignant diseases between patients with different BMI and age were statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionsTelephone follow-up is a simple and effective way to understand the rehabilitation of patients, and is worthy of clinical use. Follow-up results suggests that caregivers should concern about postoperative wound healing, affected upper limb functional rehabilitation, and mental health in patients with breast diseases, so as to take effective measures to improve patients life quality according to actual problems.
