ObjectiveAge-related macular degeneration （AMD） is one of the leading causes of low vision and blindness in people over 50 years old， and dry AMD （dAMD） is one type for which there is currently no clear treatment. On the basis of the diagnosis and clinical characteristics of dAMD in traditional Chinese and Western medicine， this paper evaluated the fitting degrees of existing animal models of dAMD with clinical characteristics according to the evaluation methods of animal models， and put forward suggestions and prospects. MethodsLiterature on animal models of dAMD was searched against database， and the characteristics of the models were assigned according to the diagnosis criteria of diseases and syndromes of traditional Chinese and Western medicine， and the fitting degrees of the models with clinical characteristics were analyzed and evaluated. ResultsAt present， the animal models of dAMD are mainly established targeting complement factors， chemokines， oxidative damage， lipid/glucose metabolism， and natural strains. Most of the models can simulate the major pathological changes of dAMD， showing the fitting degree of 25%-50% with clinical characteristics in Western medicine. However， the evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes， especially the evaluation of secondary syndromes， is missing， and the models present low fitting degrees with the clinical characteristics in TCM. ConclusionExisting animal models of dAMD are mostly established under the guidance of Western diagnostic standards， which reproduce the main disease characteristics of Western medicine and lack observation of TCM syndromes. Future studies can pay attention to the intervention factors and evaluation systems of spleen deficiency Qi deficiency and liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome and build the animal model of dAMD with integration of disease and syndrome based on clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Objective:To investigate the potential profiles of imposter phenomenon in undergraduate nursing interns, and to analyze inter-group differences and associated influencing factors.Methods:A total of 216 undergraduate student nurses on placement from January 2023 to July 2024 were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Imposter Phenomenon Scale, and the Social Support Rating Scale. The data were used to identify latent profiles and influencing factors associated with imposter phenomenon among the student nurses, with the use of Mplus 8.3 and SPSS, respectively.Results:The mean imposter phenomenon score of the nursing students was (57.88±10.38) points. They were divided into three groups: low-, intermediate-, and high-level imposter syndrome groups, accounting for 17.13%, 38.89%, and 43.98%, respectively. Sex (odds ratio [ OR]=10.514, 95% CI: 3.021-36.588), monthly family income ( OR=0.154, 95% CI: 0.051-0.469), undergraduate grades ( OR=4.947, 95% CI: 1.924-12.723), and social support ( OR=0.051, 95% CI: 0.008-0.322) were factors influencing the profiles of imposter phenomenon among the students. Conclusions:The imposter syndrome of the undergraduate nursing interns is generally at an intermediate level. Nursing managers and nursing educators should provide more assistance to the intermediate- and high-level groups, with a more comprehensive social support system and targeted intervention strategies, so as to effectively reduce their imposter phenomenon level.

Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:This study employed a cross-sectional design. The data of 91 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology who underwent DLCT enhanced scanning in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2022 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into LVI positive group and LVI negative group according to the postoperative pathology. Gender, age, smoking status, and lesion location were recorded,the clinical T-stage and N-stage were evaluated. Spectral base data images were generated based on the spectral reconstruction algorithm. Conventional CT features such as the size and density of the lesions were analyzed. The DLCT quantitative parameters such as 40 keV single-energy CT value (CT 40 keV), iodine density (ID), standardized iodine density (NID), and effective atomic number (Z eff) were measured. The differences of parameters between the two groups were compared using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI. The predictive performance of individual parameters and their combinations for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) measurements. Results:There were significant differences in age, T stage, N stage, maximum diameter, focal density, and arteriovenous stage NID and Z eff between the LVI positive group and the LVI negative group ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=0.890, 95% CI 0.821-0.966), N stage( OR=12.721, 95% CI 2.676-60.473) and venous stage Z eff( OR=0.012,95% CI 0-0.668) were independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI ( P<0.05). The combination of age, N stage, and venous-phase Z eff values demonstrated the highest predictive efficacy for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma, with an AUC of 0.916. Conclusions:The quantitative parameters of DLCT are helpful for preoperative prediction of LVI status of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. The Z eff in the venous stage is an independent predictor, the combination of multiple parameters can further improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective To understand the experience of fall alertness in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to provide references for the development of targeted nursing intervention strategies.Methods 13 elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis,who were admitted to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of a tertiary hospital in Guizhou Province from February to April 2024,were selected through purposive sampling.Phenomenological qualitative research methods were used,with semi-structured in-depth interviews.Data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method,and themes were extracted.Results 3 main themes and 9 sub-themes were identified:the process of fall risk perception(reshaping fall risk cognition,establishing emotional coping mechanism,enhancing fall alertness effect),behavioral responses to fall alertness(creating a safe living environment,regularizing daily routine plan),and needs for fall prevention support(need for fall prevention knowledge,home rehabilitation care needs,intelligent device usage needs,psychosocial support needs).Conclusion Clinical medical staff should pay attention to the transformation process of fall risk perception in elderly rheumatoid arthritis patients,accurately identify patients'fall support needs in practice,and guide patients to adopt appropriate fall alert response behaviors through innovative fall demand support interaction paths and the construction of social support network systems,in order to improve patients'fall alertness and reduce their fall risk.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic efficacy of CT-guided percutaneous lung biopsy(PTLB)combined with rapid on-site evaluation(ROSE)technique and serological testing for pulmonary infection.Methods A total of 92 patients with suspected pulmonary infection who underwent CT-guided PTLB combined with ROSE were selected.Among them,86 cases of pulmonary infectious lesions were diagnosed by tissue culture examination(observation group).Another 86 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examina-tion during the same period were selected(control group).The sensitivity,specificity,accuracy,and Kappa consistency of CT-guided PTLB combined with ROSE for diagnosing pulmonary infection were analyzed based on tissue culture results,and their receiver oper-ating characteristic(ROC)curves were plotted.Serum levels of procalcitonin(PCT),soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell-1(sTREM-1),soluble cluster of differentiation 14(sCD14),nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB),Toll like receptor-2(TLR-2),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were collected from both groups,and their diagnostic efficacy were evaluated using ROC curves.Results The sensitivity,specificity,and accuracy of CT-guided PTLB combined with ROSE for diagnosing pulmonary infection were 0.930,0.667,and 0.913,respectively,with a Kappa value of 0.456.The ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC for diagnosing pulmonary infection was 0.798,with a 95％confidence interval of 0.569-1.000.In addition,the levels of PCT,sTREM-1,sCD14,NF-κB,TLR-2,and TNF-α in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and the ROC curve analysis revealed these serum indicators were statistically significant for diagnosing pulmonary infection(P＜0.05),with the AUC of 0.993,0.993,0.997,0.987,0.983,and 0.999,respectively.Conclusion CT-guided PTLB combined with ROSE tech-nique has high accuracy,good consistency,and excellent diagnostic efficacy for diagnosing pulmonary infection.Serum PCT,sTREM-1,sCD14,NF-κB,TLR-2,and TNF-α have high diagnostic value for pulmonary infection and can serve as clinical diagnostic indicators.

Objective:To analyze the guiding value of index of consciousness 1(IoC1) and index of consciousness 2(IoC2) in anesthesia management of laparoscopic surgery.Methods:A total of 100 elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia in the Beijing Coal Group General Hospital from June 2022 to October 2023 were prospectively selected as research objects, and they were divided into the observation group and the control group according to random number table method, with 50 cases in each group. The observation group used IoC1 and IoC2 to monitor and guide anesthesia management, while the control group used bispectral index (BIS) to monitor the depth of anesthesia, and combined with the experience of anesthesiologists to guide anesthesia management. The changes of vital signs of patients in the two groups were compared after calm entry (T 0), induction of anesthesia (T 1), implantation of laryngeal mask 1 min (T 2), carbon dioxide (CO 2) pneumoperitoneum 1 min (T 3), and removal of laryngeal mask 1 min (T 4). The time of resuscitation extubation, dosage of anesthetic drugs, dosage of vasoactive drugs, IoC1, IoC2 and BIS were compared between the two groups. Results:The pneumoperitoneum time and incidence of circulatory instability between the two groups had no statistical differences ( P>0.05). The time of resuscitation and extubation in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group : (8.16 ± 6.08) min vs. (13.10 ± 7.09) min, the dosage of propofol and remifentanil were lower than those in the control group : (382.10 ± 201.90) mg vs. (465.48 ± 213.51) mg, (0.81 ± 0.62) mg vs. (1.17 ± 0.55) mg, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The amount of ephedrine and atropine between the two groups had no statistical differences ( P>0.05). The dosage of norepinephrine in the observation group was lower than that in the control group: (106.42 ± 46.12) μg vs. (147.04 ± 51.38) μg, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and IoC1/BIS between the two groups had no statistical differences ( P>0.05). The IoC2 values of T 0, T 1, T 2, T 3 and T 4 in the observation group were 97.46 ± 2.46, 45.28 ± 5.08, 48.64 ± 4.51, 50.44 ± 4.21 and 96.08 ± 2.69, respectively. The IoC2 value of T 3 was higher than that of T 1 and T 2 in the observation group, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of IoC1 and IoC2 to monitor and guide the anesthesia management of laparoscopic patients under general anesthesia makes the application of anesthetic drugs more quantitative and precise, the perioperative vital signs more stable, and the recovery time faster.
