Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection,characterized by high mortality rate.The pathological mechanisms of sepsis-induced organ failure are highly complex,including multiple processes such as abnormal immune responses,hemodynamic alterations,and severe endothelial dysfunction.Chromogranin A(Cg A),an acidic glycoprotein belonging to the granin family,serves as a precursor for various bioactive peptides,and is involved in diverse physiological processes,including inflammatory regulation,tissue repair,vascular function modulation,and glucose/lipid metabolism.Recent studies have revealed that Cg A and its derived peptides not only participate in the pathological progression of sepsis,but also exhibit significant correlations with the severity of organ injury. Consequently,Cg A has garnered attention for its potential role in the clinical diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of sepsis.This article provides a comprehensive review of the structure and functions of Cg A,as well as current research advances and clinical applications in sepsis.

Objective:To explore the effects of intraspinal blocking analgesia on the delivery quality and puerperal pelvic floor function of primiparas.Methods:A total of 99 primiparas who delivered in the Second People′s Hospital of Wuhu City from January 2021 to April 2022 were enrolled in this study, 54 patients received intraspinal blocking analgesia (study group) and 45 patients received conventional treatment, without intraspinal blocking analgesia (control group). The delivery quality between the two groups was compared, and the pelvic floor function was evaluated and compared by pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy instrument and pelvic floor ultrasound at 6-8 weeks after delivery.Results:Vaginal delivery were successful in both groups. The total labor duration in the study group was longer than that in the control group: (8.03 ± 2.94) h vs. (6.89 ± 3.49) h, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The maximum value of pelvic floor rapid contraction stage, rising time and average value of continuous contraction stage in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (32.85 ± 10.13) μV vs. (14.73 ± 3.25) μV, (0.28 ± 0.06) s vs. (0.22 ± 0.05) s, (30.26 ± 5.24) μV vs. (16.74 ± 4.00) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in other indicators such as the pre-resting stage, rapid contraction phase recovery time and post-resting stage between the two groups ( P>0.05). The rate of pelvic floor class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ muscle abnormalities at 6-8 weeks after delivery in the study group were lower than those in the control group, but there were no statistical differences ( P>0.05). The maximum Valsalva state hiatus area of levator ani muscle, maximum Valsalva state bladder posterior urethral angle, hiatus area of levator ani muscle at rest state and bladder neck degree in the study group were smaller than those in the control group: (19.09 ± 4.82) cm 2 vs. (23.00 ± 5.34) cm 2, (138.59 ± 23.14)° vs. (148.47 ± 20.38)°, (9.96 ± 2.63) cm 2 vs. (11.60 ± 2.75) cm 2, (20.13 ± 4.37) mm vs. (28.05 ± 6.52) mm, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Although intraspinal block analgesia can prolong the total labor time of primipara, but it can reduce the damage of pelvic floor function, possibly by increasing systolic period to protect pelvic floor muscles.

As the backbone force of China's social and economic construction, the health status of workers is closely related to the nation's productivity and social development. Currently, cancers have become one of the major diseases threatening the health of workers. However, there are still many shortcomings in the cancer screening services for the workers. To standardize cancer screening services for workers, ensure the quality of screening services, and improve the overall screening effectiveness, 19 institutions, including Peking Union Medical College Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, have jointly formulated the Group Standard "Specification for service of cancer screening for workers (T/CHAA 023-2023)". This standard follows the principles of "legality, scientific rigor, advancement, and feasibility" and combines the frontier scientific advances in cancer screening. It clarifies the relevant requirements for service principles, service design, service delivery, service management, service evaluation, and improving worker cancer screening. Implementing this group standard will help connect the common screening needs of workers, employers, and cancer screening service providers, standardize the screening process, improve screening quality, and ultimately increase the early diagnosis rate and survival rate of cancer patients. Consequently, this group standard will help safeguard workers' health rights and interests, ensure the labor force resources, promote the comprehensive coordinated and sustainable development of society, and contribute to realizing the "Healthy China 2030" strategic policy.

They were divided into the control group ( n=44) and the observation group ( n=44) by the random number table method. The control group was given 5E nursing, while the observation group was given 5E nursing guided by empowerment theory. The improvement of gastrointestinal function between the two groups was compared by the first anal defecation time, the first anal exhaust time and the recovery time of bowel sound. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate postoperative pain, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to evaluate self-efficacy, and hope level was assessed by Herth Hope Index (HHI). After treatment, the compliance and occurrence of digestive tract discomfort were compared between the two groups. Results:The first anal defecation time, first anal exhaust time and bowel sound recovery time in observation group were less than those in control group ( P<0.05). Postoperative pain score of observation group was lower than that of control group 48 hours after operation ( P<0.05). After nursing, the GSES, HHI and compliance scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05), and the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The 5E nursing guided by empowerment theory can effectively improve the compliance, self-efficacy and hope level of liver cancer resection patients, reduce pain, promote postoperative recovery and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms.
