Objective To evaluate the renoprotective effects of zinc(Zn)supplementation in diabetes kidney disease(DKD)and to explore its impact on the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)signaling pathway.Methods A total of 12 male OVE26 mice(spontaneous type 1 diabetes mellitus mice)aged 3 months and weighing approximately 24-27 g were selected and randomly assigned to a diabetes mellitus(DM)group and a zinc-treated DM(DM/Zn)group(n=6 each).In addition,12 age-matched male FVB mice weighing approximately 27-30 g were selected and randomly assigned to a non-diabetic control(Ctrl)group and a zinc-treated(Zn)group(n=6 each).Mice in the DM/Zn and Zn groups were given zinc supplementation for 3 months,with each mouse receiving 5 mg/kg of zinc sulfate by gavage every other day.Mice in the DM and Ctrl groups were given the same volume of normal saline.At the end of the experiment,the albumin-to-creatinine ratio(ACR)in urine was used as an indicator to evaluate renal function.Sirius red staining was performed to assess renal fibrosis in each group of mice.Western blotting was performed to determine the expression of fibrotic growth factors,including connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),in renal tissue,and the protein expression of Nrf2,an antioxidant substance,and the protein expression levels of its downstream targets,including NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1(NQO1),heme oxygenase 1(HO-1),superoxide dismutase(SOD)-1,SOD-2,and catalase(CAT).Results 1)Compared to the Ctrl group,the urinary protein secretion levels of mice in the DM group exhibited progressive increase.After 3 months of zinc supplementation treatment,the urinary protein secretion levels of mice in the DM/Zn group decreased Compared to that of mice in the DM group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).2)Compared to that in the Ctrl group,the collagen deposition in the renal tissues of mice in the DM group increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),while no obvious change was observed in mice in the DM/Zn group.Compared to the Ctrl group,mice in the DM group exhibited increased expression levels of CTGF and TGF-β1 in the renal tissues,but the expression levels decreased after zinc supplementation treatment,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).3)Compared to that of the Ctrl group,the expression level of Nrf2 in the renal tissues of mice in the Zn and DM groups increased,and the level of Nrf2 in the renal tissues of mice in the DM/Zn group showed a further increase,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).4)Compared to those of the Ctrl group,the protein expression levels of Nrf2 downstream target genes,including NQO1 and HO-1,in the renal tissues of mice in the Zn group increased,and the levels of NQO1 and HO-1 in the renal tissues of mice in the DM/Zn group showed a further increase,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared to those of the mice in the Ctrl group,the protein expressions of Nrf2 downstream target genes,including SOD-1,SOD-2,and CAT of in the renal tissues of the mice in the Zn group increased,while the expression levels of SOD-1,SOD-2,and CAT in the renal tissues of the mice in the DM group decreased,with the differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Zn supplementation could completely inhibit these changes(P<0.05).Conclusions Zn supplementation has therapeutic effects on DKD and mitigates T1DM-induced renal dysfunction and oxidative injury in mice,which may be associated with the activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the application effects of case nursing review based on training transfer theory in specialized nurses training, and to provide reference for promoting the knowledge and skills transformation of specialized nurses.Methods:A total of 64 specialized nurses from Longgang District Maternity & Child Healthcare Hospital of Shenzhen City were selected as subjects by convenient sampling from June 10 to July 20, 2022 and divided into control group and observation group by random number table method. The control group received routine core competence training, while the observation group received case nursing review based on training transfer theory. The training duration of both groups was 12 months. Within 1 month after the training, the training satisfaction, nursing case report quality score, core competence of specialized nurses, patient satisfaction and training transfer outcomes of the two groups were compared.Results:Finally, 62 specialist nurses were included, with 31 nurses in control group and observation group, 2 males and 29 females in each group, aged (34.10 ± 3.93) years in control group and (33.35 ± 3.06) years in observation group. Before training, there were no significant differences in nursing case report quality score, total score of core competence of specialized nurses and patient satisfaction between the two groups (all P> 0.05). After training, the nursing case quality score, total score of core competence and patient satisfaction in the observation group were 73.00(68.00, 78.00), 179.00(175.00, 183.00), 96.00(94.00, 99.00) points, which were higher than 85.00(80.00, 89.00), 163.00(162.00, 166.00), 88.00(85.00, 92.00) points in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = 5.81, 6.73, 13.31, all P<0.05). The total training satisfaction of nurses, awards in professional competitions and the number of technological innovations in the observation group were 21.00(20.00, 22.00) points, 15 awards, 8 innovations, which were higher than 15.00(14.00, 16.00) points, 5 awards, 2 innovations in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z = 6.74, χ2 = 7.38, 4.29, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of case nursing review based on training transfer theory can improve the training satisfaction of specialist nurses, stimulate their motivation to transfer training, and improve their ability and effectiveness in training transfer.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between objective ocular torsion and near stereopsis in patients with primary superior oblique overaction(PSOOA).METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 59 strabismus patients with PSOOA who underwent strabismus surgery at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2019 and November 2023 were collected. Based on the collected fundus photographs and the position of the fovea relative to the horizontal line through the optic disc, the eyes were categorized as incyclotorsion, excyclotorsion, or no cyclotorsion. Additionally, the fovea-disc angle(FDA)and the relationship between objective ocular torsion status, FDA, and near stereopsis function in the patients were further measured and analyzed.RESULTS: Totally 59 patients(92 eyes)showed superior oblique overaction. There were no cases of excyclotorsion, 32 cases with no cyclotorsion, and 27 cases with incyclotorsion. The total binocular FDA was significantly smaller in the no-cyclotorsion group compared with the incyclotorsion group(2.83°±2.89° vs 16.12°±5.74°, P<0.001). The preservation rates of near stereopsis were 66% and 15% in the no-cyclotorsion and incyclotorsion groups, respectively, with a significant statistical difference(P<0.001), and the preservation rates of fine near stereopsis were 38% and 11% in the no-cyclotorsion and incyclotorsion groups, respectively, with a significant statistical difference(P=0.02). Among all patients, near stereopsis was correlated with total binocular FDA(r=-0.526, P<0.001), with the strongest correlation observed with the FDA of the incyclotorsion(r=-0.546, P<0.001). In the incyclotorsion group, there was no correlation between near stereopsis and total binocular FDA(r=-0.366, P=0.060), with a negative correlation between near stereopsis and the FDA of both the incyclotorsion and the overaction(r=-0.424, P=0.028; r=-0.485, P=0.010). In the no-cyclotorsion group, near stereopsis was not correlated with total binocular FDA, incyclotorsion FDA, or overaction FDA.CONCLUSION:PSOOA patients with incyclotorsion have a lower preservation rate of near stereopsis than those without cyclotorsion. Near stereopsis function of patients with PSOOA is negatively correlated with total binocular FDA, especially the greater the FDA of the incyclotorsion and overaction, the worse the near-stereoscopic function.

AIM:To establish a nomogram model to predict the effect of serum ferritin on diabetic retinopathy and evaluate the model.METHODS:A total of 21 variables, including ferritin, were screened by univariate and multivariate regression analysis to determine the risk factors of diabetic retinopathy. A nomogram prediction model was established for evaluation and calibration.RESULTS:Ferritin, duration of diabetes, hemoglobin, urine microalbumin, regularity of medication and body mass index were included in the nomogram model. The consistency index of the prediction model with serum ferritin was 0.813(95%CI: 0.748-0.879). The calibration curves of internal and external verification showed good performance, and the probability of the threshold suggested by the decision curve was in the range 10% to 90%. The model had a high net profit value.CONCLUSIONS:Serum ferritin is an important risk factor for diabetic retinopathy. A new nomogram model, which includes body mass index, duration of diabetes, ferritin, hemoglobin, urine microalbumin and regularity of medication, has a high predictive accuracy and could provide early prediction for clinicians.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction after taking Tongnaoyin， a traditional Chinese medicine， based on head and neck computed tomography （CT） angiography （CTA） combined with brain CT perfusion imaging （CTP）. MethodA total of 240 patients with cerebral infarction of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome treated in Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2018 to September 2023 were randomly divided into a control group （99 cases） and a Tongnaoyin group （141 cases）. Based on the guidelines， the control group was treated with conventional treatment such as anti-aggregation， anticoagulation， lipid-lowering and plaque stabilization， brain protection， and supportive treatment. The Tongnaoyin group was treated with Tongnaoyin of 200 mL in warm conditions in the morning and evening on the basis of the control group. Both groups underwent CTA combined with CTP within 24 hours after admission， and they were reexamined by CTA and CTP in the sixth month after admission. The degree of intracranial artery stenosis was determined according to the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial （NASCET） method. The relative cerebral blood volume （rCBV）， relative cerebral blood flow （rCBF）， mean transit time （MTT）， and time to peak （TTP） of the lesion area before and after treatment were compared. The adverse outcomes of the two groups within six months after discharge were compared. ResultCompared with the group before treatment， the degree of vascular stenosis in the Tongnaoyin group was significantly reduced， and the difference was statistically significant （Z=105.369，P<0.05）. Compared with the control group after treatment， the improvement rate of vascular stenosis in the Tongnaoyin group was higher （χ²=84.179，P<0.01）， and the curative effect was better.After treatment， the rCBV and rCBF of patients in the Tongnaoyin group were significantly increased， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.01）. MTT and TTP showed a trend of shortening， but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in rCBV， rCBF， MTT， and TTP in the control group. Compared with those in the control group after treatment， the rCBV and rCBF in the Tongnaoyin group were significantly increased， while MTT and TTP were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. After six months of discharge， the risk of poor prognosis in the Tongnaoyin group was significantly reduced compared with the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionTongnaoyin has a good effect on improving cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It can be used as an effective supplement for the conventional treatment of ischemic stroke to improve clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the people's cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) ability in Hunan Province and whether there are differences in the skill level of CPR among respondents of different ages and education levels.Methods:A self-made questionnaire was conducted to survey people in Hunan Province by means of WeChat from May 2018 to April 2019. The questionnaire referred to 2016 National consensus on cardiopulmonary resuscitation in China issued by Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Specialized Committee of Chinese Research Hospital Association and 2017 version of American Heart Association (AHA) CPR operational guide, and combined with the CPR assessment scale of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital. The contents of the survey included the basic information of the subjects, the common knowledge and skills of first aid, the willingness to learn CPR skills and implement CPR, and the operational requirements of high quality CPR, etc. Results:A total of 6 563 people received the on-site first aid knowledge questionnaire, and 4 355 people completed and submitted the questionnaire. The recovery rate was 66.36%, of which 3 602 valid questionnaires were from IP in Hunan Province, and the qualified rate was 82.71%. Among the subjects, 1 532 were men (42.53%) and 2 070 were women (57.47%). The majority aged group from 19 to 30 (59.41%) and from 31 to 50 (36.70%). 307 were rural (8.52%) and 3 295 were urban (91.48%); and the majority levels of education were senior or technical secondary school (38.26%) and undergraduate or junior college (44.50%). Of the 3 602 respondents, 39.09% indicated that they had been exposed to CPR knowledge and only 0.36% indicated that they did not wish to participate in CPR training. 69.93% of the respondents said they would actively to help if they wet cardic arrest, and 97.92% of those were willing to do so if the patients were relatives or friends. The survey results showed that only 8.91% of respondents chose relatively high-quality CPR options (chest compressions were performed first, the pressing point was located in the sternum of the midpoint of bilateral nipple line, the pressing frequency was 100-120 times/min, pressing depth was 5-6 cm, the ratio of chest compression to artificial ventilation was 30∶2). Among these people, the correct rate was higher in the ages of 31-50 years old and ≤ 18, 19-30 than those ≥51 years old (12.71% vs. 0%, 6.87%, 8.70%, χ2 = 41.420, P < 0.01). The correct rate of education at graduate level and above was higher than those in junior middle school and below, high school or technical secondary school, undergraduate or junior college (19.57% vs. 2.07%, 3.41%, 13.72%, χ2 = 152.262, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The public in Hunan Province have a strong sense of first aid, and some of the theoretical knowledge of CPR. People between 31 years old and 50 years old of age and with graduate education and above know more about CPR, but the overall mastery of CPR skills is poor. It is necessary to further improve the ability of the public as the first witness by teaching various skills of CPR in various forms.

Objective:To ananlyze the toxic effects and mechanisms of Cr (Ⅵ) subchronic exposure based on metabonomics techniques.Methods:Twenty-nine female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, low dose group and high dose group, 10, 9, 10, respectively. The control group, low dose group and high dose group were treated with 0, 10, 50 mg/L Cr (Ⅵ) for 90 days respec tively. The serum samples of rats with different dose of Cr (Ⅵ) treatment were detected Using UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS technique and data was analyzed by PCA, PLS-DA and OPLS-DA to compare with metabolic profile in different Cr (Ⅵ) dose treatments. Pathway analysis was performed using MetaboAnalyst 4.0 software.Results:UPLC-Q- TOF-MS/MS has stable detection performance and reliable experimental data. The control group, low Cr (Ⅵ) and high Cr (Ⅵ ) metabolic profiles of rats serum differences was obviously, and there is significant difference of serum metabolic profile among rats treated with different dose of Cr (Ⅵ) . 18 differential metabolites were screened between Cr (Ⅵ) low dose group and control group, 23 differential metabolites between Cr (Ⅵ) high dose group and control group. Compared to control group, there were 13 differential metabolites in both Cr (Ⅵ) high dose group and Cr (Ⅵ ) low dose group, such as 3-Hydroxy-11Z-octadecenoylcarnitine, Anserine, Farnesyl pyrophosphate, Linoleoyl ethanolamid e, Linoleyl carnitine, Lithocholate 3-O-glucuronide, LysoPC [20∶2(11Z, 14Z) ], LysoPC[20∶3 (5Z, 8Z, 11Z) ], LysoPC[22∶2(13Z, 16Z) ], PG[16∶0/22∶5(7Z, 10Z, 13Z, 16Z, 19Z) ], PI[18∶1 (11Z) /20∶4(5Z, 8Z, 11Z, 14Z) ], PI[20∶3(5Z, 8Z, 11Z) /18∶0], Serotonin. These differential metabolites were related to Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Tryptophan metabolism, Pentose and glucuronate interconversions, Terpenoid backbone biosynthesis.Conclusion:Cr (Ⅵ) subchronic exposure could induce the significant difference of serum metabolic profile. The differential metabolites induced by Cr (Ⅵ) subchronic ex- posure were mainly related to amino acid and lipid metabolism.
