ObjectiveTo investigate the chain effect of moral leadership and ethical climate on moral distress and moral injury. MethodsA total of 606 nurses in Shandong Province， China， were selected using a convenience sampling method at August 2023. Participants were evaluated using the Moral Distress Scale， the Moral Injury Symptoms Scale， the Moral Leadership Measure， and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey. ResultsThis study provided a model describing the interrelationships among moral distress， moral leadership， ethical climate， and moral injury. Moral distress had a negative impact on moral injury， while moral leadership and ethical climate had positive effects on both moral distress and moral injury. Moreover， moral leadership and ethical climate could moderate the relationship between moral distress and moral injury， playing a partial mediating role. The final model showed that moral distress， moral leadership， ethical climate， and moral injury formed a chain effect. ConclusionNursing managers and nurses should actively participate in moral training and education to enhance their ability to address moral distress. Meanwhile， healthcare organizations should cultivate moral leaders， improve the ethical climate in the workplace， promptly identify and intervene in moral injury， and maintain nurses’ mental health.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of different antiplatelet drugs combined with rivaroxaban in patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans.Methods The clinical data of patients with lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans who were symptomatic and underwent surgical treatment at the Vascular Surgery Department of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the different antiplatelet medications taken by patients,patients were categorized into aspirin group,clopidogrel group and cilostazol group.Baseline data of patients were collected,and patients were followed up and the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events,major adverse limb events,major bleeding and clinically related non-major bleeding events were compared in different groups.Results A total of 632 patients were included in the study.There was no significant difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events,major adverse limb events,major bleeding and clinically related non-major bleeding events after the baseline data was balanced by inverse probability of treatment weighting.The results of subgroup analysis were generally consistent with those of the overall study.Conclusion The combination of clopidogrel or cilostazol with rivaroxaban may serve as a novel option for dual antithrombotic therapy in patients diagnosed with lower extremity arteriosclerotic obliterans.

Objective·To observe the effects of gingipain extract on the biological characteristics of oral squamous cell carcinoma cell HN6.Methods·The HN6 cell line was selected,cultivated,and divided into different groups based on the protein concentration of gingipain extract from Porphyromonas gingivalis:control group,3.125 μg/mL group,6.25 μg/mL group,12.5 μg/mL group,25 μg/mL group,50 μg/mL group,and 100 μg/mL group.After 24 and 48 h of cultivation,CCK-8 assay was used to detect the effects of gingipain extract on HN6 cell proliferation activity.Subsequent experiments were divided into control group,25 μg/mL group and 50 μg/mL group.Flow cytometry was used to examine the effects of gingipain extract on cell cycle.Scratch assay and Transwell assay were performed to evaluate cell migration and invasion ability.Real-time PCR(RT-PCR)and Western blotting were used to measure the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin proteins and genes in cells.Results·Stimulated with gingipain extract for 24 h,the HN6 cells showed significantly increased proliferation activity in the 25 μg/mL(P=0.025),50 μg/mL(P=0.000),and 100 μg/mL(P=0.049)groups compared to the control group.After 48 h,proliferation activity was significantly higher in the 6.25 μg/mL(P=0.024),12.5 μg/mL(P=0.006),25 μg/mL(P=0.000),50 μg/mL(P=0.000),and 100 μg/mL(P=0.000)groups compared to the control group.Cell cycle analysis revealed that,after 24 h of gingipain stimulation,the proportion of HN6 cells in the G1 phase decreased,while the proportion in the S+G2 phase significantly increased compared to the control group(25 μg/mL group:P=0.024;50 μg/mL group:P=0.001).Compared to the control group,the scratch assay demonstrated a significant increase in the percentage of scratch closure as the concentration of gingipain extract increased(P=0.001).Compared to the control group,the Transwell invasion assay showed a significant increase in the number of cells passing through the bottom of the chamber as the concentration of gingipain extract increased.RT-PCR and Western blotting results indicated that as the concentration of gingipain extract increased,the expression levels of N-cadherin mRNA and protein in HN6 cells significantly increased,while the expression levels of E-cadherin mRNA and protein significantly decreased compared to the control group.Conclusion·Gingipain extract could promote proliferation,migration,and invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma HN6 cells.

Objective Summarizes the current research status of defensive medicine in China and provides references for future research.Methods The search period spans from the inception of the database to March 2024.CNKI,Wan-fang Data,Web of Science,PubMed databases were queried,followed by literature screening based on predeter-mined inclusion and exclusion criteria.The current landscape of defensive medicine research in China was synthe-sized and categorized based on fundamental research characteristics,measurement methodologies,influencing fac-tors,and other relevant aspects.Results A total of 24 Chinese literature sources and 4 foreign literature sources were incorporated,indicating a prevalent occurrence of defensive medicine in China.Measurement tools for defen-sive medicine exhibit variability across different studies.Key influencing factors encompass doctor's demographic vari-ables such as gender,age,and professional status,institutional factors like legal frameworks and medical in-surance,and sociol-cultural factors such as doctor-patient relationships and adverse public perceptions.Conclusion Defensive medicine is relatively widespread and influenced by various factors in China.It's urgent to explore the for-mation mechanism of defensive medicine from multiple perspectives and provide evidence for passive defen-sive medicine governance.

Objective To clarify the influencing factors of defensive medicine and provide ideas for preventing and re-solving defensive medicine.Methods Literature related to defensive medicine was searched,personnel related to de-fensive medicine were interviewed,and literature and interview data were coded with the method of grounded theo-ry,and related concepts and categories were summarized.Results After three levels of coding,52 initial concepts,23 initial categories,7 sub-categories and 3 main categories were sorted out,and the correlation among influencing factors was analyzed to build a three-dimensional model of"doctor-patient relationship-institutional system-social environment"influencing factors and their mechanism of action.Conclusion The influencing factors of defensive medi-cine mainly include doctor-patient relationship,institutional system and social environment.The three factors have an impact on defensive medicine through different mechanisms of action,which provides qualitative evidence for comprehensive analysis of factors in related studies of defensive medicine.

Objective To understand the status of behavioral intentions of defensive medical treatment in medical students,and explore the relationship between practice environment and behavioral intentions of defensive medical treatment.To provide reference for reducing the tendency of defensive medicine(DM)behavior of medical students and improving the negative effects of DM.Methods A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted among medi-cal students in four medical colleges in Heilongjiang Province.The structural equation modeling of the relationship be-tween practice environment and behavioral intentions of defensive medical treatment in medical students was con-structed by Amos 26.0 software.Results The mean score of medical students'behavioral intentions of positive and negarive defensive medical treatment was 44.49-6.90 and 20.06-6.83,respectively.The behavioral intention of posi-tively defensive medical treatment was positively associated(β=0.892,P＜0.05)with cognition of doctor-patient relationship.While the behavioral intention of negative defensive medical treatment was positively correlated(β=0.403,0.343,P＜0.05)with environment cognition,perception of risk and negatively correlated(β=-0.726,P＜0.05)with cognition of doctor-patient relationship.As an intermediary variable,the direct and indirect effects of cog-nition of doctor-patient relationship on negative defensive medical behavior tendency were-0.470 and 0.043,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Improving cognition of medical students'doctor-pa-tient relationship is beneficial to understand defensive medical treatment for medical students.The negative defen-sive medical behavior tendency of medical students should be reduced by reducing their negative cognition of environ-ment or improving their cognition of doctor-patient relationship.
