ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the application of narrative education in undergraduate nursing teaching， to understand the current application status of narrative education， and to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent establishment of a sound narrative education system. MethodsA systematic search was conducted for studies published in Chinese and English databases on applying narrative education to undergraduate nursing teaching， with the search period ranging from database inception to February 23， 2025. Literature was screened， and relevant information was extracted. A rigorous quality evaluation was conducted on the included studies， and a descriptive analysis was performed on their content. ResultsA total of 20 papers were included， involving 3，180 research subjects， all of whom were undergraduate nursing students. The results of descriptive analysis showed that the teaching model of narrative education primarily encompassed reading narrative works， watching films and videos， performing narrative scenarios， and writing reflective journals. The course setting and content covered pre-teaching preparation and in-teaching implementation. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness included the evaluation of teachers’ teaching methods （student evaluation/self-evaluation） and the evaluation of students’ learning effectiveness （course grade evaluation/humanistic care scale/empathy scale assessment， and others）. ConclusionNarrative education combines abstract concepts with concrete clinical situations， which not only enriches students’ learning experiences but also enhances their humanistic literacy. Meanwhile， it provides teachers with opportunities to develop their narrative teaching skills， which requires them to possess profound professional knowledge and employ narrative techniques to guide students in reflection and critical thinking， thereby improving teaching quality and learning outcomes. Future efforts should consistently deepen the connotation research of narrative education and build a systematic nursing education system.

Objective : To investigate the effects of resveratrol(Res) on fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA), and to explore the possible mechanism of Res inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors from FLS. Methods : FLS from RA patients were culturedin vitroand treated with different concentrations of Res(0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320 μmol/L). The viability of FLS cells was detected by CCK-8 assay after 12 and 24 h. The contents of inflammatory factor interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in cell supernatant were detected by ELISA. The expression levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate-adenosine monophosphate synthase(cGAS) and stimulator of interferon gene(STING) were measured by Western blot; After lentivirus infection with FLS caused the cells to overexpress cGAS, the cells were divided into Control group(blank control), cGAS group(cGAS overexpression), Res+cGAS group(Res 160 μmol/L+cGAS overexpression) and Res group(Res 160 μmol/L). The expression level of STING protein in cells of each group was determined by Western blot, the viability of FLS cells in each group was detected by CCK-8, and the contents of inflammatory factor IL-6 and TNF-α in the supernatant of cells of each group were detected by ELISA method. Results : The results of CCK-8 experiment showed that under 40, 80, 160 μmol/L Res treatment, FLS viability decreased significantly after 24 h compared with blank control group(P<0.01). ELISA results showed that the contents of IL-6 and TNF-α in cell supernatant were also significantly decreased after treatment with Res of 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L(P<0.01). Meanwhile, Western blot results showed that Res could significantly decrease the protein expression levels of STING and cGAS in FLS cells after treatment of 40, 80 and 160 μmol/L(P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the Control group, the expression level of STING protein in FLS increased after overexpression of cGAS(P<0.05); compared with the Res group, the content of inflammatory factors in the supernatant of FLS and the expression level of STING protein in FLS significantly increased after overexpression of cGAS(P<0.01,P<0.05). Conclusion The appropriate concentration of Res can inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines in FLS cells, which may be related to the blocking of cGAS-STING signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:Preliminary clinical observations found that Jiawei Chunze Decoction is an effective formula for clinical treatment of urinary retention after spinal cord injury.Animal experiments have found that the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/Akt)signaling pathway is closely related to the degree of bladder dysfunction. OBJECTIVE:To further investigate the effects of Jiawei Chunze Decoction on bladder function and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in rats with urinary retention. METHODS:Sixty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,Jiawei Chunze Decoction low-dose group,Jiawei Chunze Decoction high-dose group and agonist group.In the sham operation group,the spinal cord was exposed but not transected.In the other groups,the modified Hassan Shaker spinal cord transection method was used to prepare the model of sacral medullary injury.At 24 hours after modeling,the sham operation group and model group were intragastrically given equal volume of normal saline,Jiawei Chunze Decoction low-dose and high-dose groups were given Jiawei Chunze Decoction granules containing 14.4 and 28.8 g/kg,respectively,via intragastric administration for 4 weeks,and the agonist group was treated with an intraperitoneal injection of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway agonist 740Y-P at a dose of 0.02 mg/kg.After 4 weeks of treatment,the maximum bladder capacity,leakage point pressure and bladder compliance of rats in each group were detected by urine flow dynamics.The minimum bladder contraction tension and frequency of rats in each group were detected by detrusor pull test.The pathological changes of the rat bladder in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The concentrations of GRP78,CHOP and Caspase-12 in serum were detected by ELISA,and the mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K,Akt,GRP78,CHOP and Caspase-12 in bladder tissues were detected by RT-PCR and western blot,respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the sham operation group,the maximum bladder volume,bladder compliance and minimum systolic tension of rats in the model group were increased(P<0.05),and the leakage point pressure and bladder contraction frequency were decreased(P<0.05);serum GRP78,CHOP,and Caspase-12 levels were also increased(P<0.05).The arrangement of bladder epithelial cells in the model group was disordered,and there was monocyte infiltration between cells,tissue edema,and detrusor tract atrophy.The mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K and Akt in bladder tissues were significantly decreased in the model group compared with the sham operation group,while those of GRP78,CHOP and Caspase-12 were increased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the maximum bladder volume,bladder compliance and minimum systolic tension of rats were decreased in the Jiawei Chunze Decoction low-dose,high-dose and agonist groups after 4 weeks of intervention(P<0.05),while the leakage point pressure and bladder contraction frequency were increased(P<0.05);serum GRP78,CHOP,Caspase-12 levels were decreased(P<0.05).The bladder epithelial cells in the three intervention groups were distributed evenly,arranged neatly,with less inflammatory cell infiltration and fuller detrusor muscle bundle.Compared with the model group,the mRNA and protein expressions of PI3K and Akt were increased in the three intervention groups,while those of GRP78,CHOP and Caspase-12 were decreased(P<0.05).The Jiawei Chunze Decoction high-dose group was better than the Jiawei Chunze Decoction low-dose group and shared the similar results with the agonist group.To conclude,Jiawei Chunze Decoction can improve the bladder function of rats with urinary retention after spinal cord injury,and the mechanism may be related to reducing the occurrence of endoplasmic reticulum stress in bladder tissue through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway,and then alleviating apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:Research has demonstrated a close association between ferroptosis and vascular dementia.Tongmai Kaiqiao Pill has a certain effect on improving the cognitive function of vascular dementia patients,but its mechanism is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the interventional effects and molecular mechanisms of Tongmai Kaiqiao Pill for vascular dementia based on the regulation of ferroptosis by the nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2(Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)/glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)signaling pathway. METHODS:Among eighty-four SD male rats,12 rats were used as the sham-operated group,and the rest of them were prepared as a model of vascular dementia by the modified 2-VO method,and then randomly divided into the model group,the Tongmai Kaiqiao Pills high-,moderate-,and low-dosage(27.6,13.8,and 6.9 g/kg)groups,the combined group(Tongmai Kaiqiao Pill high-dosage+ML385,20 mg/kg),and the donepezil hydrochloride group(0.45 mg/kg).The drug was given once a day by intragastric administration.The combined group was also intraperitoneally injected Nrf2 inhibitor ML385,once a day,for 4 weeks.Morris water maze was used to detect the learning memory ability of rats.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in the hippocampus of rats in each group.Colorimetric assay was used to detect the content of reduced glutathione,ferrous ion(Fe2+),and malondialdehyde in the serum of rats.Prussian blue staining was used to detect the iron deposition in the hippocampal tissue of rats.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructural changes of mitochondria in rat hippocampal tissues.Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression levels of Nrf2,HO-1,GPX4,XCT,and ferritin heavy chain 1(FTH1)in rat hippocampal tissues. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In comparison to the sham operation,rats in the model group exhibited a significantly prolonged latency period(P<0.05)and a reduced number of platform crossings(P<0.05).Additionally,the hippocampal tissues of these rats displayed loosely organized structure,deeply stained cell nuclei,and solidified or lysed chromatin.Ferri ions aggregated in CA1 region.There were atrophied mitochondria with dissolved cristae and thickened mitochondrial membranes.Fe2+,malondialdehyde,and reduced glutathione levels in rat serum were found to be elevated(P<0.05).A significant reduction in the expression of GPX4,HO-1,XCT,Nrf2,and FTH1 proteins was detected in the hippocampus(P<0.05).(2)Compared to the model group,the average escape latency of the rats was significantly reduced following intervention with Tongmai Kaiqiao Pills and donepezil hydrochloride(P<0.05),with an increased number of platform crossings(P<0.05).Hippocampal neurons showed significant recovery.Notably,iron aggregation in the CA1 region was significantly reduced,and mitochondrial structure and function were improved.There were significant reductions in Fe2+and malondialdehyde levels,while the levels of GPX4,HO-1,XCT,Nrf2,and FTH1 in rat hippocampal tissues,and reduced glutathione in serum were significantly increased(P<0.05).(3)The high-dose Tongmai Kaiqiao Pills exhibited a treatment effect comparable to that of donepezil hydrochloride(P>0.05),with a significant prolongation of water maze escape latency(P<0.05),a reduced number of platform crossings(P<0.05),and insignificant neuronal pathological changes in the CA1 area.However,the combined group showed increased iron deposition,elevated malondialdehyde and Fe2+levels in blood serum(P<0.05),reduced glutathione content(P<0.05),hippocampal tissue mitochondrial atrophy,and reduced expression of Nrf2,XCT,HO-1,GPX4,and FTH1 proteins(P<0.05).Within a certain range,higher doses of Tongmai Kaiqiao Pills demonstrated a more pronounced effect,comparable to the efficacy of high-dose donepezil hydrochloride.(4)It is concluded that Tongmai Kaiqiao Pills have been shown to mitigate histopathological changes in the rat hippocampus and enhance cognitive function in rats with vascular dementia.The mechanism of action is likely associated with the suppression of ferroptosis through the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1/GPX4 signaling pathway.

Objective To observe the value of MRI quantified uterine indictors in late pregnancy for predicting uterine inertia in delivery.Methods A total of 182 pregnant women were retrospectively collected and were divided into uterine inertia group(inertia group,n=67)and non-uterine inertia group(non-inertia group,n=115)based on delivery or cesarean section records.MRI quantified uterine indicators were compared between groups,and those being statistically different were included to build a multivariate logistic regression model for predicting uterine inertia in delivery.The predictive performance of this model was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and the area under the curve(AUC).Results The inertia group had more previous uterine surgeries,also higher proportion of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer(IVF-ET)and cesarean sections compared to the non-inertia group(all P＜0.05).In late pregnancy,the longitudinal diameter of the uterus,cervical length and the thickness of the myometrium at the placental attachment site in inertia group were larger than those in non-inertia group(all P＜0.05).Increased times of previous uterine surgeries,undergoing IVF-ET,as well as increased longitudinal diameter of the uterus and cervical length in late pregnancy were all independent predictors of uterine inertia in delivery(all P＜0.05).AUC of the multivariate logistic regression model established based on the above factors for predicting uterine inertia in delivery was 0.733.Conclusion MRI quantified uterine indictors in late pregnancy could be used to predict uterine inertia in delivery.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of direct resin filling restoration,improved atraumatic restorative treatment(ART),and Hall technique in treating deciduous molars in children.Methods A total of 120 children with 180 deciduous molars who came to the Department of Oral Surgery of our hospital from January 2023 to August 2023 were selected and randomly divided into three groups:direct resin filling restoration group(40 people,60 teeth),improved ataumatic restorative treatment group(40 people,62 teeth),and Hall technique group(40 people,58 teeth).The behavioral performance classification and degree of anxiety of the children during the treatment process and the treatment time were compared among the three groups.The clinical efficacy after 3 months,6 months,and 12 months of treatment was compared and the reasons for failure were analyzed.Results The treatment time of the Hall technique group was significantly shorter than that of the improved ART group and direct filling group,and the differences in treatment time of the three groups had statistical significance(P＜0.05).The Hall technique and improved ART technique were more easily accepted by the chil-dren,and the degree of anxiety and behavioral performance classification of the three groups had statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).At the 12-month follow-up,the success rate of the direct filling restoration group was significantly different from that of the im-proved ART technique group and the Hall technique group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).However,the suc-cess rate of the improved ART technique group was not significantly different from that of the Hall technique group(P＞0.05).Conclu-sion The success rate of the improved ART technique group and the Hall technique group is higher than that of the direct filling resto-ration group,and is more easily accepted by children.The pain level and degree of anxiety are lighter,and the treatment time of the Hall technique is shorter,which is more conducive to the repair of tooth decay.

Objective To analyze the relationship between abnormal expression of serum neurohemoglobin(NGB)and myelin basic protein(MBP)and the cerebral neurodevelopment of neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods A total of 89 preterm infants with HIE admitted in the hospital between January 2023 and March 2024 were selected as the observation group,and 60 preterm infants without HIE during the same period were selected as the control group.Serum levels of MBP,NGB and secretagogues in two groups were detected,and the neonates amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was evaluated.The neurological function of neonates was evaluated using 20 items of Neonatal Behavioral Neurological As-sessment(NBNA).The correlation test and diagnostic value were evaluated using Spearman method and re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The serum levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue in the ob-servation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencepha-logram score was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The serum MBP,NGB and secretagogue levels in the mild,moderate,and severe groups increased sequentially(P<0.05),NBNA score and amplitude integration e-lectroencephalogram score decreased sequentially(P<0.05).The levels of NGB,MBP and secretagogue were the risk factors affecting NBNA score(P<0.05),and the amplitude integration electroencephalogram score was a protective factor affecting NBNA score(P<0.05).The area under the curve of NGB and MBP in diag-nosing HIE was greater than 0.8,which had high application value.Conclusion Serum NGB and MBP levels are closely related to the severity of HIE,and have certain connection with NBNA score.Elevated levels of NGB and MBP in neonates with HIE may be related to the body's stress response to nerve damage,which could reflect to some extent the brain nerve function damage in with HIE.

[Purpose]To analyze the trends of mortality and probability of premature mortality caused by colorectal cancer in Jinshan District of Shanghai from 1980 to 2023.[Methods]The death database of Jinshan District from 1980 to 2023 were established based on the death reports from the medical institutions and public security bureau at all levels.The crude mortality rate,age-standardized mortality rate by Chinese standard population and world standard population(ASRC and ASRW),age-specific mortality rate,probability of premature mortality,annual percentage change(APC)and average annual percentage change(AAPC)of colorectal cancer were calculated.[Results]The crude mortality rate of colorectal cancer increased from 1980 to 2023(AAPC=2.36％,P＜0.001)and the ASRW of colorectal cancer decreased at the same period(AAPC=-1.02％,P=0.003).The ASRW of colorectal cancer in male and female showed a decreasing trend from 1990 to 1999(APC=-5.08％,-7.85％,P=0.007,0.011),but there was no significant change in other periods.The age-specific mortality rate increased with age and reached the peak at the age group of 70～74 years old during 1980-1989,75～79 years old during 1990-1999,80～84 years old during 2000-2009 and 2010-2019,85 years old and above during 2020-2023(109.22/105,77.56/105,113.78/105,172.82/105 and 236.58/105,respectively).The probability of premature mortality of colorectal cancer decreased in male and female(AAPC=-1.10％,-2.41％,P=0.047,＜0.001),but there was no change after the year of 2000.[Conclusion]The overall mortality rate of colorectal cancer in Jinshan District showed a decreasing trend from 1980 to 2023,but the standardized mortality rate and the probability of premature mortality had not shown a significant downward trend since 2000.
