OBJECTIVE To establish the UPLC fingerprint and the method for multi-component content determination in Jingangteng capsules， and to evaluate its quality by combining chemical pattern recognition analysis. METHODS An UPLC method was established. Separation was performed on a Zorbax SB-C 18 Rapid Resolution HD column， with acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase for gradient elution.Using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of Traditional Chinese Medicines （2012 edition）， UPLC fi ngerprints were established for 10 batches of Jingangteng capsules， and similarity was evaluated. SPSS 22.0 and SIMCA 14.1 software were used to perform hierarchial-cluster analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）， respectively. The same UPLC method was employed to determine the contents of chlorogenic acid， 3，5-dihydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid-3- O -glucoside （M1）， caffeic acid， astilbin， oxyresveratrol， quercitrin and resveratrol in the 10 batches of samples. RESULTS A total of 17 common peaks were identified in UPLC fingerprints of the 10 batches of samples， of which 7 were identified as chlorogenic acid， M1， caffeic acid， astilbin， oxyresveratrol， quercitrin， and resveratrol. The similarities of 10 batches of samples ranged from 0.820 to 0.985. The results of hierarchial-cluster analysis showed that 10 batches of samples were grouped into four categories： S1-S4 formed one group， S5 and S6 formed another， S7， S8 and S10 formed a third， and S9 formed a fourth， consistent with the OPLS-DA results； the variable importance projection values for peaks 7， 10， 2， 16 （resveratrol）， 13 （oxyresveratrol）， 11， 6 （caffeic acid）， 5 （M1） and 15 （quercitrin） were ＞1. Quantitative analysis results showed that the contents of chlorogenic acid， M1， caffeic acid， astilbin， oxyresveratrol， quercitrin， and resveratrol were 1.650 8-4.213 7， 0.636 2-2.161 7， 0.031 0-0.086 5， 0.239 1-1.069 3， 0.211 9-1.104 0， 0.488 8-2.399 2， and 0.164 0-0.699 8 mg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS UPLC fingerprint and content determination methods established in this study are simple to operate， accurate， reliable and reproducible； when combined with chemical pattern recognition analysis， they can be used to evaluate the quality of Jingangteng capsules. Nine components， such as resveratrol， oxyresveratrol， caffeic acid， M1 and quercitrin， may serve as markers of quality variation.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of bioactive peptides combined with probiotics on serum uric acid (SUA) in patients with hyperuricemia (HUA), so as to provide the evidence for prevention and treatment of HUA. Methods: The patients with HUA aged 18 to 65 years were selected and randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The patients in the intervention group received bioactive peptides combined with probiotics for 28 days at a dose of 3 g/d, while the patients in the control group received an equal dose of placebos. Demographic information, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and blood lipid were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examination and laboratory tests. SUA levels were detected before and after 14 days and 28 days of interventions. The differences of SUA levels between the two groups were compared using generalized estimation equation. Results: Totally 108 patients with HUA were recruited, including 54 patients in the intervention group and 53 patients in the control group (1 dropout). Before interventions, there were no statistically significant differences in gender, age, course of HUA, exercise duration, frequency of alcohol consumption, frequency of meat broth consumption, BMI, prevalence of hypertension and prevalence of dyslipidemia between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 14 days of interventions, the SUA levels of the patients in the intervention group decreased by 3.00 μmol/L, while those in the control group increased by 7.00 μmol/L. After 28 days of interventions, the SUA levels of the patients in the intervention group and the control group decreased by 26.00 μmol/L and 16.00 μmol/L, respectively. However, there was no statistically significant interaction between the intervention time and group (both P>0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that after 28 days of interventions, the decrease in SUA levels in the patients aged 55 years and older and without hypertension in the intervention group was greater than those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusions Bioactive peptides combined with probiotics showed no significant difference in reducing SUA levels in patients with HUA compared to the control group. The effect was more significant for patients aged 55 years and older and without hypertension.

Objective:To build a position competency model for standard residency training teachers tailored to the specific conditions in China.Methods:Delphi method was used to construct the post competency framework for standard residency training teachers. The analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weights of indicators. The position competency model for standard residency training teachers was designed based on the concept of onion model. A statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 17.0.Results:Twenty-one experts participated in two rounds of Delphi consultations, resulting in the preliminary development of a position competency model for standard residency training teachers. The position competency model included three layers, with one first-level indicator (value and professionalism) in the core literacy layer, three first-level indicators (thinking and psychology, communication and cooperation, and continuous learning and career development) in the core competence layer, and four first-level indicators (clinical diagnosis and treatment, teaching guidance, scientific research and academic activity, and organization and management) in the core skill layer. There were 45 second-level indicators in these eight first-level indicators. The weights of 45 second-level indicators were also calculated.Conclusions:A position competency model of standard residency training teachers was built, including three layers of indicators and their weights. This model provides a reference for the training and evaluation of standard residency training teachers in China.

Objective To develop a tumor vaccine containing broad-spectrum neoantigen tumor cell lysate(TCL)and CpG adjuvant,and to effectively deliver it to lymph node dendritic cells.Methods A novel polymer,9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-polyethylene glycol-glycocholic acid(Fmoc-PEG-GCA),was employed to encapsulate the TCL and CpG through π-π stacking,resulting in high-density polyethylene glycol-modified glycocholic acid-decorated micelles TCL/CpG@GNP.The vaccine′s drug loading,encapsulation efficiency,particle size,polydispersity index(PDI),zeta potential,morphology,stability,cellular safety,uptake capability,immune stimulation effects on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs)and in vivo anti-tumor efficacy were evaluated.Results The vaccine TCL and CpG demonstrated a drug loading capacity of 6.26%and the encapsulation rate was 37.59%.The drug loading capacity of CpG was 7.05%,and the encapsulation efficiency was 56.86%.The particle size measured(139.26±27.23)nm,with a PDI of 0.249±0.015,indicating favorable dispersion properties.The zeta potential was recorded at(-21.23±0.36)mV.The TCL/CpG@GNP vaccine demonstrated good stability,cell safety and uptake ability,and can promote the activation and maturation of BMDCs.In tumor-bearing mouse models,TCL/CpG@GNP inhibited tumor growth,increased the proportion of T lymphocytes in peripheral blood,and elevated IFN-γ levels in spleen.Conclusion The TCL/CpG@GNP tumor vaccine can effectively activate BMDCs and induce strong anti-tumor immune memory in a mouse lung cancer model.

Objective:To design a vest-type breast dressing bra and explore its application effect in the external application of traditional Chinese medicine therapy for patients with granulomatous lobular mastitis(GLM).Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted, utilizing convenience sampling to select female patients with 122 GLM who underwent their first topical medication treatment in the Breast Department of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January and May 2023. The patients were divided into a control group and an observation group, with 61 patients in each, using a random number table. Following medication application, patients in the control group used a regular sports bra to secure the medication, while patients in the observation group used a custom-designed vest-style breast medication bra for the same purpose. Three hours after the intervention, comparisons were made between the two groups in terms of the incidence of medication detachment, medication displacement, clothing contamination, patient satisfaction, and safety.Results:Both groups of patients completed the study. The age of the observation group was (32.18 ± 5.50) years old, while the age of the control group was (33.66 ± 5.20) years old. Three hours after the intervention, the incidence of medication detachment, medication displacement, clothing contamination in the observation group were 3.28% (2/61), 6.56% (4/61), and 8.20% (5/61), which were lower than those in the control group with 18.03% (11/61), 26.23% (16/61), and 67.21% (41/61), respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( χ2=6.97, 8.61, 45.23; all P<0.05). The satisfaction level of patients towards the bra in the observation group was (4.43 ± 0.85) points, higher than that of the control group (3.85 ± 1.08) points, with a statistically significant difference ( t=3.30, P<0.05). The incidence rates of skin allergic reactions were 3.28%(2/61) and 4.92%(3/61) in the observation group and the control group, respectively, with no statistically significant difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The vest-type breast dressing bra designed in this study can properly secure the medicinal paste, reduce the rate of medication detachment, medication displacement, clothing contamination, and enhance patient satisfaction. It facilitates the external application of traditional Chinese medicine for patients with GLM and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To assess the level of moral distress among pediatric nurses in China and explore its influencing factors, providing a reference for future interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sampling method from May 2022 to March 2023. Pediatric nurses meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from children′s specialized hospitals, general hospitals, and maternal and child health hospitals across 16 provinces in China. Moral distress was assessed using the Chinese version of the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, non-parametric analysis, and multiple linear regression.Results:A total of 509 pediatric nurses participated in the survey, including 10 males and 499 females. Among them, 45 were aged ≤25 years, 268 were aged 26-35 years, 172 were aged 36-45 years, and 24 were aged >45 years.The median moral distress score was 58.00 (26.00, 77.50). Factors independently associated with higher levels of moral distress included having a master′s degree ( t = 2.33), working in a ward with more than 40 beds ( t = 3.38), working in a ward without parental accompaniment ( t = 2.60), being passively assigned to the nursing profession ( t = 2.63), and considering resignation but not leaving the job ( t = 3.85) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Pediatric nurses in China experience a moderate level of moral distress. Further research is needed to understand its underlying causes and to develop preventive and intervention strategies.

Objective:To assess the core competencies of internal medicine residents undergoing standardized residency training and to explore the effectiveness of core competency evaluation on mobile devices.Methods:The mobile formative evaluation module was developed based on the "Xueyiku" teaching management platform. From January to December 2023, clinical teachers were asked to evaluate 150 internal medicine residents based on the "Resident Core Competency Milestone Evaluation System in China Consortium of Elite Teaching Hospitals", and the results were analyzed using non-parametric tests.Results:Among the six core competencies of internal medicine residents, professionalism received the highest score, whereas teaching skill received a lower score (97.50 vs. 90.00; H=167.31, P<0.001). Second-year residents had significantly higher scores than first-year residents (93.00 vs. 90.00; P<0.001), but similar scores to third-year residents (93.00 vs. 93.00; P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in score among residents with different medical education backgrounds ( P>0.05). Conclusions:More emphasis should be placed on improving the teaching skills of internal medicine residents, along with the implementation of tiered progressive training. The mobile core competency evaluation is an effective means for assessing the comprehensive skills of residents in a timely manner.

Objective To understand the current situation and influencing factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in medical staff in Beijing City. Methods A total of 2 687 medical staff were selected as the research subjects using the multi-stage sampling method. The current situation of WMSDs and occupational stress, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and insomnia symptoms were investigated using the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, the Core Occupational Stress Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, the Patient Health Questionnaire Depression Scale, and the Self-Sleep Management Questionnaire. The Max-Min Hill-Climbing algorithm was used to construct a Bayesian network model to analyze the influencing factors and internal relationships of WMSDs and to conduct reasoning and prediction of the model. Results The prevalence of WMSDs among the research subjects was 88.9%. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify age, educational level, personal monthly income, anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, insomnia symptoms, prolonged forward-head desk work, and prolonged static posture work to construct the Bayesian network model. The model consisted of nine nodes and eleven directed edges. Prolonged static posture work, prolonged forward-head desk work, and anxiety symptoms were directly related to WMSDs. Age and educational level were indirectly related to WMSDs through their influence on prolonged forward-head desk work. Depression symptoms were indirectly associated with WMSDs through their influence on anxiety symptoms. The model's prediction accuracy was 90.5%. Conclusion The prevalence of WMSDs among medical staff in Beijing City is relatively high. Prolonged static posture work, prolonged forward-head desk work, and anxiety symptoms may directly increase the risk of developing WMSDs.

Objective By analyzing the main factors affecting the average length of stay through deep neural networks,redundant factors are eliminated to improve the management effectiveness of the average length of stay.Methods Based on prin-cipal component analysis in machine learning,the multi factor features of average length of hospital stay are reduced and the main factors are extracted.Then,deep neural networks are used to learn the weight relationships between the main factors and predict the actual average length of hospital stay.The data used in this article comes from the homepage of 131 740 inpatient medical re-cords in the HIS system of a tertiary hospital in 2021.Results The main influencing factors of the average length of stay in the hospital in 2021 are preoperative average length of stay,transfusion reactions,admission year,age,admission route,and medical payment method.The corresponding absolute weight values are 2.58,1.89,1.77,0.96,0.76,and 0.75,respectively;The t-test compared and analyzed the predicted average length of stay with the actual average length of stay,and the results showed that there was no significant difference between the two(P＞0.05).Conclusion The DNN model based on the main factors can ef-fectively predict the actual average length of stay,and the hospital's classification of the main influencing factors of the average length of stay obtained in this article can effectively improve the management efficiency of the average length of stay.

Objective This study aimed to examine whether body mass index(BMI)was causally associated with blood transfusion reactions.Methods A two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis using the inverse variance weighted(IVW),MR-Egger regression,weighted median method(WME),weighted model method(WM),simple model method(SM)and simple median method(SM)was performed.Public genome-wide association study(GWAS)analysis was used as the data source,with summary statistical data sets of BMI(n=126 003;GWAS ID:ebi-a-GCST90095042)as the exposure variable and summary statistical data sets of transfusion reactions(n=199 451;GWAS ID:finn-b-ST19)as the outcome variable.The causal association between BMI and transfusion reactions was analyzed.Results 42 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with transfusion reactions were identified by MR analysis.The IVW showed evidence to support the causal relationship between BMI and transfusion reactions(OR=0.29,95%CI=0.10～0.85).Nonetheless,the effect value β of the MR-Egger regression approach contrasts with that of IVW.The outcomes of the heterogeneity analysis,pleiotropy analysis,and sensitivity analysis indicated that P>0.05.Conclusion The results of MR analysis supported the possibility of a causal relationship between BMI and blood transfusion reactions,that is,the reduction of BMI will increase the risk of blood transfusion reactions.
