Background Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), as one of the major occupational health issues worldwide, have shown an increasing positive rate year by year. Due to the unique demands of work, operating room nurses exhibit a higher positive rate of WMSDs compared to other occupational groups, necessitating active attention and intervention. Objective To estimate the prevalence of WMSDs among operating room nurses in tertiary hospitals, explore the characteristics and latent categories of WMSDs, and analyze the influencing factors associated with the occurrence of WMSDs. Method Using a randomized cluster sampling method, operating room nurses from nine tertiary hospitals in Urumqi were selected as study participants between December 2023 and January 2024. Data were collected through a general information questionnaire, an ergonomic questionnaire for operating room nurses, and the Chinese Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. Latent class analysis was employed to examine the patterns of WMSDs among the nurses, while chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression were utilized to analyze the influencing factors of WMSDs. Result A total of 411 valid questionnaires were collected in this survey. The positive rate of WMSDs among operating room nurses in the tertiary hospitals of Urumqi over the past year was 91.9%. The positive rates, ordered from highest to lowest by body region, were neck (79.1%), shoulders (70.3%), and lower back (68.1%). The operating room nurses were categorized into three distinct groups by latent class analysis: multi-site pain group, neck-shoulder-back pain group, and neck and lower back pain group. The results of the multinomial logistic regression models revealed that gender, job strain level, ergonomic load level in the operating room, and exposure to cold or drafty working conditions or not were significant influencing factors for reporting WMSDs among operating room nurses. Specifically, having less than 5 years of work experience, low ergonomic load level, low job strain, and moderate job strain were identified as protective factors against WMSDs. Conversely, exposure to cold or drafty working environments and being female were identified as risk factors for WMSDs. The logistic regression models also indicated that compared to the neck-lower back pain group, the neck-shoulder-back pain group had a higher probability of reporting low job strain (OR=0.168, 95%CI: 0.029, 0.968) and being female (OR=4.847, 95%CI: 2.506, 9.378). In contrast, when comparing to the neck-lower back pain group, the multi-site pain group had a higher probability of reporting, low-level ergonomic workload (OR=0.079, 95%CI: 0.015, 0.412), low job strain (OR=0.019, 95%CI: 0.002, 0.145), moderate job strain (OR=0.080, 95%CI: 0.016, 0.401), high job strain (OR=0.132, 95%CI: 0.027, 0.647), less than 5 years of work experience (OR=0.173, 95%CI: 0.044, 0.683), being female (OR=2.424, 95%CI: 1.130, 5.200), and exposure to cold or drafty working environments (OR=3.277, 95%CI: 1.657, 6.481). Conclusion The positive rate WMSDs among operating room nurses in tertiary hospitals is notably high in Urumqi, with distinct co-occurrence characteristics observed within the population. To mitigate the risk of WMSDs, it is essential to implement targeted health education and prevention training programs tailored to different patterns of WMSDs. Additionally, improving working conditions, optimizing human resource allocation , and other proactive measures should be undertaken. These efforts will effectively reduce the incidence of WMSDs among operating room nurses and safeguard their occupational health.

ObjectiveTo investigate the ameliorative effect of Xingpi capsules on functional dyspepsia（FD） and the potential mechanism. MethodsSixty SPF-grade male SD neonatal rats（7 days old） were randomly divided into the normal group（n=12） and the modeling group（n=48）， and the FD model was prepared by iodoacetamide gavage in the modeling group. After the model was successfully prepared， the rats in the modeling group were randomly divided into the model group， the low-dose and high-dose groups of Xingpi capsules（0.135， 0.54 g·kg^-1） and the domperidone group（3 mg·kg^-1）， with 12 rats in each group. Rats in the normal and model groups were gavaged with distilled water， and rats in the rest of the groups were gavaged with the corresponding medicinal solution， once a day for 7 d. The general survival condition of the rats was observed， and the water intake and food intake of the rats were measured， the gastric emptying rate and the small intestinal propulsion rate were measured at the end of the treatment， the pathological damage of the rat duodenum was examined by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， and the expressions of colonic tight junction protein（Occludin） and zonula occludens protein-1（ZO-1） were detected by immunofluorescence. The differentially expressed genes in the duodenal tissues of the model group and the normal group， and the high-dose group of Xingpi capsules and the model group were detected by transcriptome sequencing after the final administration， and Gene Ontology（GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） enrichment analyses were carried out. The transcriptomic results were validated by Western blot， immunofluorescence， and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）， and the active ingredients of Xingpi capsules were screened for molecular docking with the key targets. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the general survival condition of rats in the model group was poorer， and the water intake， food intake， gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were all significantly reduced（P<0.05）， inflammatory infiltration was seen in duodenal pathology， and the fluorescence intensities of Occludin and ZO-1 in the colon were significantly reduced（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the general survival condition of rats in the high-dose group of Xingpi capsules improved significantly， and the water intake， food intake， gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate were all significantly increased（P<0.05）， the duodenal pathology showed a decrease in inflammatory infiltration， and the fluorescence intensities of colonic Occludin and ZO-1 were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Transcriptomic results showed that Xingpi capsules might exert therapeutic effects by regulating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K）/protein kinase B（Akt） through the key genes such as Slc5a1， Abhd6. The validation results showed that compared with the normal group， the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt proteins， the protein expression level of interleukin（IL）-1β， and the fluorescence intensities of IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly increased in the model group（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the mRNA levels of Slc5a1， Abhd6， Mgam， Atp1a1， Slc7a8， Cdr2， Chrm3， Slc5a9 and other key genes were significantly increased（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the phosphorylation levels of PI3K and Akt， the protein expression level of IL-1β and the fluorescence intensities of IL-6 and IL-1β in the high-dose group of Xingpi capsules were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the mRNA levels of Slc5a1， Abhd6， Mgam， Atp1a1， Slc7a8， Cdr2， Chrm3 and Slc5a9 were significantly reduced（P<0.05）. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis and molecular docking results showed that E-nerolidol and Z-nerolidol in Xingpi capsules were well bound to ABDH6 protein， and linarionoside A， valerosidatum and senkirkine were well bound to Slc5a1 protein. ConclusionXingpi capsules can effectively improve the general survival and gastrointestinal motility of FD rats， its specific mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to alleviate the low-grade inflammation of duodenum， and E-nerolidol， Z-nerolidol， linarionoside A， valerosidatum and senkirkine may be its key active ingredients.

Objectives To investigate interleukin 36γ (IL-36γ) expression, and analyze the influence of IL-36γ to CD8⁺ T cell activity in chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) patients with secondary fungal pneumonia. Methods Peripheral blood was collected from 47 COPD patients, 39 COPD patients with secondary fungal pneumonia, and 20 controls. Bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was isolated from 27 COPD patients with secondary fungal pneumonia. CD8⁺ T cells were purified. The levels of four IL-36 isoforms in plasma and BALF were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). CD8⁺ T cells were stimulated with recombinant human IL-36γ. The levels of interferon γ(IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), perforin and granzyme B in the cultured supernatants were measured by ELISA. Recombinant human IL-36γ-stimulated CD8⁺ T cells were co-cultured with NCI-H1882 cells in either direct cell-to-cell contact or Transwell^TM manner. The levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, and lactate dehydrogenase in the cultured supernatants were assessed. The percentage of target cell death was calculated. Results Plasma IL-36α, IL-36β, and IL-36γ levels were significantly elevated in both COPD group and COPD with secondary fungal pneumonia group compared with those in control group. However, only plasma IL-36γ level was higher in COPD with secondary fungal pneumonia group than that in COPD group [(200.11±99.95)pg/mL vs (53.03±87.18)pg/mL, P=0.023]. There was no remarkable difference in plasma IL-36 receptor antagonist level among three groups. IL-36γ level in BALF from infectious site was higher than that from non-infectious site in COPD with secondary fungal pneumonia group [(305.82±59.60)pg/mL vs (251.93±76.01)pg/mL, P=0.011]. IL-36γ stimulation enhanced IFN-γ, TNF-α, perforin and granzyme B secreted by CD8⁺ T cells. When IL-36γ-stimulated CD8⁺ T cells were directly mixed with NCI-H1882 cells for co-culture, the percentage of cell death was increased [(16.06±3.67)% vs (11.47±2.36)%, P=0.002]. When using Transwell^TM plate for non-contact co-culture, IL-36γ-stimulated CD8⁺ T cell-mediated death of NCI-H1882 cells showed no significant difference compared to that without stimulation [(4.77±0.78)% vs (4.99±0.92)%, P=0.554]. Conclusion IL-36γ level in plasma and infectious site is elevated in COPD patients with secondary fungal pneumonia, which enhances the cytotoxicity of CD8⁺ T cells in peripheral blood and infectious microenviroment.

Objective To construct a mindfulness-based self-care intervention program for patients with chronic heart failure(CHF)and their caregivers based on binary disease management theory and explore its small-scale application effect.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 100 pairs of CHF patients admitted to our hospital and their caregivers from January 2024 to October 2024.After excluding those with invalid survey data,92 pairs were finally included and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,each consisting of 46 pairs.The control group received routine nursing care,while the observation group received the mindfulness-based self-care program based on binary disease management theory in addition to routine nursing care.The Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Self Compassion Scale(SCS),and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS)were used to compare the anxiety,depression,self-care,and mindfulness levels of patients and caregivers at three time points:pre-intervention(T1),right post-intervention(T2),and one month post-intervention(T3).The Caregiver Positive Perception Scale(PAC)was used to evaluate the caregiver's positive perception at each time point.Results The HAMA and HAMD scores of patients and caregivers in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at T2 and T3,while the SCS scores were signifi-cantly higher(all P<0.05).Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed significant differences in HAMA,The mindfulness-based self-care intervention program based on binary disease management theory effectively reduces negative emotions in patients and caregivers,and improves mindfulness and self-care,showing clinical application potential.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of hederagenin(HDG)on cisplatin(Cis)-induced acute kidney injury(AKI)in mice and its potential mechanism.Methods 24 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a control group,AKI model group,HDG low-dose group,and HDG high-dose group,with six mice in each group.AKI model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg cisplatin(Cis).The HDG low-dose and HDG high-dose groups were given 20,40 mg/kg HDG by intragastric administration,respectively,and samples were collected 3 days later.The kidneys of the mice were collected for hematoxylin-eosin(HE)and periodic-acid-schiff(PAS)staining to evaluate the kidney pathology,and serum was collected to detect changes in serum creatinine(Scr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN).The expression of p-P65,P65,IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β,and other inflammatory-related proteins was detected by Western Blot.A TCMK1(renal tubular epithelial cell)inflammatory cell model was established by Cis(200 ng/mL)stimulation in vitro.Blank group,Cis model group,HDG low-dose group,HDG high-dose group,Axin2 overexpression group,HDG+Axin2 overexpression group were set up.In the Axin2-overexpression group,the expression of p-P65,P65,IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β,Axin2,and AREG was detected among total cell proteins.Results Compared with the control group,AKI model mice exhibited significantly elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels(P<0.05),accompanied by pathological alterations including vacuolar degeneration of renal tubules,inflammatory cell infiltration,and glycogen deposition,and the expression of inflammation-related proteins(p-P65,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β)and Axin2 was markedly upregulated in AKI mice(P<0.05).HDG treatment induced a dose-dependent reduction in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels(high-dose>low-dose,P<0.05),alleviated renal histopathological damage,and concurrently suppressed the expression of these inflammatory mediators and Axin2(P<0.05).HDG was confirmed that dose-dependently inhibited Cis-induced upregulation of Axin2,and inflammatory cytokines in vitro experiments.Transcriptome sequencing revealed that Axin2 overexpression significantly increased amphiregulin(AREG)expression(P<0.05).Mechanistically,HDG reduced p-P65 phosphorylation by suppressing the Axin2/AREG axis(P<0.05),while Axin2 overexpression abolished the protective effects of HDG against Cis-induced renal tubular cell injury.Conclusions HDG protects against renal injury in AKI mice by reducing inflammation through the inhibition of Axin2/AREG axis activation.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of Dendrobium nobile Lindl alkaloids(DNLA)on the proliferation,migration,and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)of HLEB3 cells induced by TGF-β2.Methods HLEB3 cells were cultivated in vitro and classified into the control group(DZ),the model group(TGF-β2),and the treatment group(TGF-β2+DNLA).TGF-β2 induced the EMT process of HLEB3 cells.Changes in cell morphology were observed through an inverted microscope.Cell proliferation,apoptosis,and migration were detected by CCK-8 assay,scratch test,and Transwell assay.The total RNAs of the samples were extracted for transcriptome analysis.Bioinformatics processing was employed to obtain relevant information on gene expression differences at the transcriptional level,biological processes,and related signaling pathways.The Western blot(WB)technique was utilized to detect EMT-related proteins to elucidate the mechanism of action of DNLA on lens epithelial cells.Results The study revealed that 10 μg/ml DNLA was suitable for the growth of HLEB3 cells.After 48 hours of the scratch test,the migration rate of the TGF-β2+DNLA group significantly decreased(P<0.01).The Transwell results indicated that the cell migration ability of the TGF-β2+DNLA group was notably weakened(P<0.05).Through bioinformatics,it was discovered that the prevention and treatment of posterior capsular opacification(PCO)by DNLA might be associated with cell junctions,cytoskeleton construction,and fibronectin binding.The pathogenesis of PCO may be related to multiple signaling pathways,including the TGF-β signaling pathway,TNF signaling pathway,and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.Simultaneously,DNLA could reduce the expression levels of FNI,Smad2/3,and α-SMA proteins and increase the expression of E-cadherin protein.This indicates that DNLA can alleviate abnormal proliferation,migration,and EMT of lens epithelial cells by enhancing intercellular adhesion junctions and weakening cell migration ability,thereby playing a role in preventing and treating posterior capsular opacification.Conclusions DNLA can significantly inhibit the abnormal proliferation and migration of HLEB3 cells,alleviate the EMT process induced by TGF-β2,and prevent and control the occurrence of posterior capsular opacification and other ocular diseases.The mechanism of action might be related to the intervention of the TGF-β/smad signaling pathway and fibrosis proteins such as ZO-1 and E-cadherin.

This article interpreted the basic requirements for humanistic caring of patients in the operating room, the environment and facilities for humanistic caring, the procedures and measures for humanistic caring, and the quality management framework, aiming to assist administrators and clinical practitioners across various levels of medical institutions in accurately understanding and effectively implementing the standard, and to provide essential textual reference and practical guidance for promoting the application of the standard.

Objective:To explore the level of positive psychological capital and its trends in traumatic lower limb amputation patients during the 15 months after surgery, and to identify the time period when the patients' level of positive psychological capital is weak, so as to provide a basis for interventions.Methods:This study was a prospective longitudinal study. Convenience sampling was used to select 143 patients with traumatic lower limb amputation admitted to the Department of Emergency Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to November 2022 for the study. General information questionnaire, Positive Psychological-Capital Questionnaire (PPQ) were used on the third postoperative day (T1) , on the day of discharge (T2) , 1 month (T3) , 2 months (T4) , 3 months (T5) , 6 months (T6) , 9 months (T7) , 12 months (T8) , and 15 months (T9) after discharge for a total of nine time points to administer the questionnaire to the patients. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA and plotting of results were performed on the nine time-point data using Graph Pad prism 9.5 software and SPSS 21.0 software, and the data were compared two-by-two using the Bonferroni multiple comparison test.Results:There were 143, 139, 132, 129, 122, 120, 119, 118, and 116 patients who participated in the survey from T1 to T9 time points, with a loss to follow-up rate of 18.88% (27/143) . PPQ scores of 116 traumatic lower limb amputation patients at nine time points were (103.25±9.03) , (108.53±9.32) , (104.38±9.60) , (99.71±9.61) , (95.82±9.55) , (91.49±9.41) , (93.34±9.29) , (93.53±9.14) , (93.62±9.05) , and the mean PPQ scores were lower than the theoretical mean (104) at all time points except T2 and T3 time points. One-way repeated-measures ANOVA showed that the difference in the change in the level of positive psychological capital of patients after traumatic lower limb amputation from postoperative day 3 to 15 months after discharge was statistically significant ( F=990.144, P<0.01) . Bonferroni's multiple comparison test showed that there was no statistically significant difference in two-by-two comparisons between T7, T8, and T9 time points with each other ( P>0.05) , and the rest of the two-by-two comparisons were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Changes in the total PPQ score and the curves of the self-efficacy dimension, resilience dimension, hope dimension, and optimism dimension scores all showed a trend of a brief increase, followed by a continuous decrease, and then a slow increase to a plateau. Conclusions:Traumatic lower limb amputation patients show a wide range of changes in positive psychological capital levels from postoperative day 3 to 15 months after discharge, with a trend of a brief increase at discharge, followed by a steady decline, and then a slow increase to a plateau. Healthcare professionals should pay dynamic attention to the psychological state and psychological strength of patients after traumatic lower limb amputation and provide targeted interventions at different stages after discharge.
