This paper summarizes the perioperative nursing experience of a premature infant with congenital gastroschisis accompanied by malaria and heart disease during a medical aid mission in Africa.Nursing key points include:preoperative observation and protection of the protruding intestines to prevent intestinal injury and infection,timely identification and management of arrhythmias and acute hypoxic episodes;intraoperative close monitoring of vital signs and assisting the surgeon in creating an"artificial abdominal cavity";postoperative intensification of condition monitoring and intra-abdominal pressure surveillance,standardized medication administration and rational blood transfusion to prevent complications related to gastroschisis repair,and to control malaria-related symptoms,while providing nutritional support and reinforcing health education.Through collaborative diagnosis and treatment by a multidisciplinary team along with meticulous nursing care,the infant showed improvement and was discharged after 2 weeks.A follow-up visit 2 months postoperatively revealed normal feeding,good surgical wound healing,no recurrence of acute hypoxic episodes,and a persistent systolic murmur auscultated over the precordium.

Idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal deformity among adolescents. Spinal correction surgery is a complex procedure with a long operative duration and extensive tissue damage, frequently resulting in chronic postoperative pain. This type of pain imposes significant physical and psychological burdens on patients, as well as considerable economic strain on families and society. This paper provides an overview of the concept, prevalence, assessment tools, influencing factors, and preventive and therapeutic strategies for chronic postoperative pain in adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The aim is to offer a reference for managing postoperative chronic pain in these patients and to inform further research in this area.

Objective:To explore the correlation between smoking behavior of employees in heavy industry enterprises and risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.Methods:A cross-sectional study design was adopted. A questionnaire survey and physical examination data collection were conducted on employees of a heavy industry enterprise in Shaanxi Province using a cluster sampling method from March to April 2024. A total of 2 209 cases met the inclusion criteria. According to the smoking index (SI), participants were divided into a non-smoking group (SI=0, 1 316 cases), a low smoking group (SI400, 656 cases), and a high smoking group (SI≥400, 237 cases). According to the fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) score, participants were divided into a non-dependence group (FTND=0, 1 316 cases), a mild dependence group (FTND=1-3, 623 cases), a moderate dependence group (FTND=4-6, 204 cases), and a severe dependence group (FTND≥7, 66 cases). Spearman rank correlation, univariate, and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to compare differences in blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, homocysteine, and body mass index among the groups.Results:As the SI and FTND scores increased, blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, and homocysteine all showed an increasing trend, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol showed a decreasing trend (all P0.05). The systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides, serum uric acid, and homocysteine in the high smoking group were higher than those in the non-smoking group [(124.93±16.55) vs (122.32±16.62) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (80.86±11.10) vs (76.18±11.63) mmHg, 5.58 vs 5.29 mmol/L, (3.13±0.65) vs (2.95±0.56) mmol/L, 1.70 vs 1.09 mmol/L, (336.80±69.94) vs (299.00±86.43) μmol/L, 14.20 vs 11.76 μmol/L, all P0.001], the high-smoking group had lower HDL cholesterol than the non-smoking group [(1.34±0.30) vs (1.39±0.27) mmol/L, P0.001], the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, serum uric acid, and homocysteine in the severely dependent group were higher than those in the non-dependent group [(132.09±16.69 )vs (122.32±16.62) mmHg, (81.32±12.97) vs (76.18±11.63) mmHg, 5.61 vs 5.29 mmol/L, (4.98±0.91 )vs (4.70±0.88) mmol/L, (3.19±0.62) vs (2.95±0.56) mmol/L, 1.87 vs 1.09 mmol/L, (328.95±75.21) vs (299.03±86.43) μmol/L, 14.38 vs 11.76 μmol/L, all P0.05], and the high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the severely dependent group was lower than that in the non-dependent group [(1.32±0.30) vs (1.39±0.27) mmol/L, P0.001]. Multivariate analysis showed that SI and degree of tobacco dependence (DTD), were significantly correlated with fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol, but the effect size of SI was too small ( OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001, P=0.002, OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.001-1.002, P0.001, OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.001, P=0.032). Conclusions:Smoking behavior among employees in heavy industry enterprises is significantly correlated with risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The degree of tobacco dependence is closely related to the risk of abnormal fasting blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the degree of liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)and the left ventricular structure and function of the heart.Methods A total of 411 patients with NAFLD admitted to the Sec-ond Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from June 2022 to April 2023 were collected.NAFLD patients were stratified using the FIB-4 non-invasive liver fibrosis scoring system and divided into the progressive fibrosis group(n=138)and non-progressive fi-brosis group(n=273).A total of 151 patients with normal abdominal ultrasound examination during the same period were selected as the control group,the relationship between the severity of liver fibrosis in NAFLD patients and the left ventricular structure and function of the heart were analyzed.Results Liver fibrosis was a risk factor for cardiac diastolic function limitation in NAFLD patients(P＜0.05),and the more severe the degree of liver fibrosis,the more severe the cardiac diastolic function limitation.Conclusion The degree of liver fi-brosis in NAFLD is significantly correlated with limited left ventricular diastolic function;it may be related to changes in the left ventricu-lar structure of the heart.

Objective To investigate the mechanism mediating the regulatory effect of lncRNA MAGI2-AS3 on cisplatin(DDP)resistance in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods MAGI2-AS3 and miR-1269a expression levels were detected by qRT-PCR in DDP-sensitive lung cancer cell lines(A549 and H1299)and their resistant counterparts(A549/DDP and H1299/DDP).In A549 and H1299 cells with MAGI2-AS3 silencing and A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells overexpressing MAGI2-AS3,the effects of 20 μmol/L DDP on cell viability and apoptosis were examined with CCK-8 assay,colony formation assay,flow cytometry and Western blotting,and the changes in epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)were assessed with wound healing and Transwell assays.The interaction between MAGI2-AS3,miR-1269a and PTEN was predicted using GEPIA,StarBase and miRDB and verified with luciferase reporter gene assay and radioimmunoprecipitation(RIP)assay.A miR-1269a mimic and pcDNA3.1-PTEN plasmid were used to perform the rescue assay.Results MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly downregulated in lung cancer tissues(P<0.05)in association with a poor prognosis(P<0.05).In the two DDP-resistant lung cancer cell lines,MAGI2-AS3 expression was significantly lowered as compared with the sensitive cells.Silencing MAGI2-AS3 significantly enhanced cell viability and promoted EMT of A549 and H1299 cells irrespective of DDP treatment,and also decreased DDP-induced apoptosis of the cells.In A549/DDP and H1299/DDP cells,MAGI2-AS3 overexpression strongly repressed cell viability and EMT irrespective of DDP treatment and promoted DDP-induced cell apoptosis.Luciferase reporter gene and RIP assays confirmed the binding of MAGI2-AS3 with miR-1269a and the binding of miR-1269a with 3'-UTR domain of PTEN.The rescue assay demonstrated that MAGI2-AS3 acted as a sponge for miR-1269a to promote PTEN expression and downregulate AKT phosphorylation,thus inhibiting EMT and promoting DDP-induced apoptosis of A549/DDP cells.Conclusion MAGI2-AS3 enhances DDP sensitivity of NSCLC by targeted regulation of the miR-1269a/PTEN/AKT signaling axis.
