Objective:
To evaluate the impact of comprehensive nursing based on the behavioral goal attainment model on the clinical intervention effect among elderly female patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), so as to provide a basis for optimizing the nursing strategies for patients with SUI and improving their quality of life.
Methods:
A total of 190 elderly female patients with SUI who were treated in the Department of Gynecology of the First Hospital of Jilin University from January 2023 to August 2024 were selected and randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group. The control group received routine nursing care, while the intervention group received comprehensive nursing based on the behavioral goal attainment model. The 1-hour pad test was used to assess urinary incontinence symptoms. The bio-electrical stimulation feedback instrument was employed to detect the electromyogram (EMG) values in the pre-resting stage and slow-muscle stage for evaluating pelvic floor function. The bladder function scale was utilized to evaluate bladder function. The Chinese version of urinary incontinence ego-efficacy rating scales and incontinence quality of life assessment scale (IQOL) were used to assess self-efficacy and quality of life. The data on intervention compliance and nursing satisfaction were collected by a questionnaire survey. The differences between the two groups before and after the intervention were compared using the analysis of variance for repeated-measures data to evaluate the intervention effect.
Results:
There were 95 cases in the control group and 95 cases in the intervention group, with median ages were 64.00 (interquartile range, 23.50) and 64.50 (interquartile range, 19.50) years, respectively. The proportion of patients with cesarean section as the last delivery method was 21.05% in the control group and 12.63% in the intervention group. The proportion of patients with moderate disease severity was 67.36% in the control group and 58.95% in the intervention group. There were no statistically significant differences in age, body mass index, number of pregnancies, number of deliveries, marital status, educational level, mode of last delivery and severity of the disease between the two groups of patients (all P>0.05). The analysis of variance of repeated-measures data showed that there were significant interactions between time and group for the urine leakage volume in the 1-hour pad test, the EMG values in the pre-resting stage, the EMG values in the slow-muscle stage, the scores of the bladder function, the self-efficacy scores, and the IQOL scores (all P<0.05). After 12 weeks of intervention, the EMG values in the slow-muscle stage, the scores of the bladder function, the self-efficacy scores, the IQOL scores in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, while the urine leakage volume in the 1-hour pad test and the EMG values in the pre-resting stage in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The good compliance rate of intervention and the satisfaction rate of nursing in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group (83.16% vs. 60.00%, 90.53% vs. 75.79%, both P<0.05).
Conclusion
Comprehensive nursing based on the behavioral goal attainment model can improve urinary incontinence symptoms, pelvic floor function, bladder function, self-efficacy, quality of life, and intervention compliance of elderly female patients with SUI.

Ying and wei qi is derived from the essence of water and grain, and is the basic material to maintain the normal life activities of the body. Ying and wei qi has the difference of nature of yin and yang or the clear and the turbid. When the relationship between ying and wei qi is out of order and in reverse disorder, it will lead to the occurrence of various diseases. Based on the analysis of the theory of "ying-wei disorder" in The Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor (《黄帝内经》), this paper started from the perspective of the exuberance and debilitation, circulation and function of ying qi and wei qi, focused on the theoretical understanding that the change of deficiency and excess ("fall") and the change of circulation ("move"), and refined the core mechanism of "ying-wei disorder", which is the depletion of ying qi and wei qi, stagnation of ying qi and wei qi, and disharmony of ying qi and wei qi, and finally summarized the syndrome identification and treatment method of supporting ying qi and assisting wei qi, promoting ying qi and moving wei qi, regulating ying qi and wei qi, and constructed the syndrome identification and treatment system for ying-wei disorder of malignant tumor in clinic.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intervention effect of Jiedu Tongluo Tiaogan prescription (JTTP) in protecting pancreatic β cells by targeting the bile acid Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5)/cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling pathway against NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. MethodThirty-two male SPF-grade db/db mice were randomly divided into the model group, low-dose JTTP group (3.6 g·kg-1), high-dose JTTP group (7.2 g·kg-1), and metformin group (0.2 g·kg-1). Eight db/m mice were assigned to the blank control group. The mice were treated with drugs for 8 weeks, and fasting blood glucose (FBG) was measured every 2 weeks. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were conducted after the last administration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect fasting insulin (FINS), and the homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-1β levels were calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological changes in mouse pancreatic tissue. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect insulin expression in mouse pancreatic tissue. Western blot and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) were used to detect the expression of proteins and mRNAs of key targets in the TGR5/cAMP signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome. ResultCompared with blank group, FBG, OGTT, FINS, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in model group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, after 6 weeks of drug treatment, FBG level in JTTP group and metformin group decreased significantly (P<0.01). The results of OGTT experiment showed that compared with model group, the blood glucose levels of mice in each administration group were decreased at all time points (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the levels of FINS, TNF-α and IL-6 in JTTP dose groups and metformin group were significantly decreased. The level of IL-1β in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Pancreatic pathology showed that the islets in the model group were irregular in shape, uneven in distribution, and showed signs of atrophy. The prognosis of JTTP was that the cell count increased and the boundary was clearer. Immunofluorescence results showed that the islet cells in the blank group were arranged in an orderly and full shape with appropriate insulin secretion, while the islet cells in model group were distorted in shape, atrophy in structure and less insulin secretion. The insulin content of mice in JTTP and metformin group was significantly increased. Compared with blank group, mRNA expressions of NLRP3, apoptosis-related spot-like protein (ASC) and Caspase-1 in pancreatic tissues of model group were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, JTTP high-dose group and metformin group promoted the up-regulation of TGR5 and cAMP mRNA, and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with blank group, the expression of TGR5 protein in model group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with model group, TGR5 protein in JTTP high-dose group and metformin group was significantly increased (P<0.01).

Objective:To examine the correlation between serum Klotho levels and frailty in elderly people.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 150 community-dwelling elderly people aged 65 years and over were enrolled.Subjects were divided into a frail(n=50, 33.3%), a pre-frail(n=47, 31.3%)and a non-frail(n=53, 35.3%)group based on the Fried phenotype.General participant data, routine laboratory test results, short physical performance battery(SPPB)results and human body composition data were collected.Serum Klotho protein levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The relationship between serum Klotho protein levels and frailty was analyzed by using Spearmen's correlation analysis and Logistic regression analysis.Results:Klotho protein levels were lower in the frail group than in the non-frail group( P=0.001), whereas differences between the frail group and the pre-frail group and between the pre-frail group and the non-frail group were not statistically significant(all P>0.05).When Klotho protein levels were classified into four quartiles, i.e., Q 1, Q 2, Q 3, and Q 4, using three cut-off vales(2.28, 3.52, and 5.09 mg/L), the prevalences of frailty were 51.4%(19/37), 39.5%(15/38), 24.3%(9/37)and 18.4%(7/38), respectively.The prevalence of frailty decreased with increasing Klotho protein levels( χ2=11.204, P=0.011).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the Klotho protein level was negatively correlated with frailty( r=-0.310, P<0.001).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis results showed that age( OR=1.109, 95% CI: 1.011-1.217, P=0.028)and sarcopenia( OR=6.511, 95% CI: 1.279-33.147, P=0.024)were risk factors for frailty, while walking( OR=0.104, 95% CI: 0.033-0.326, P<0.001), a high SPPB score( OR=0.780, 95% CI: 0.627-0.970, P=0.026), and a high Klotho protein level( OR=0.752, 95% CI: 0.581-0.974, P=0.031)were protective factors against frailty. Conclusions:The serum Klotho protein level may be used as a parameter for the assessment of frailty.It is negatively correlated with frailty, suggesting that elderly people with low serum Klotho protein levels are at high risk of developing frailty.

Objective To investigate the effects of prolonged low-dose neutron-γ radiation on peripheral blood lymphocytes of logging workers. Methods The health information of workers in a logging company was collected by on-site blood sample collection and questionnaire survey. Individual doses of γ and neutron radiation were recorded using LiF elements and CR-39, respectively. Lymphocyte count in peripheral blood was measured by blood cytometer. Cell cycle and cyclins were detected by flow cytometry. Results The annual dose of some logging workers exceeded 5 mSv. Lymphocyte counts showed a difference of 15% between the group exposed to the lowest annual dose of 0–1 mSv (mean: 2.45 × 109/L) and the group exposed to the highest annual dose of 5–25 mSv (mean: 2.08 × 109/L). In comparison to pre-shift workers, logging workers exhibited a G1-phase arrest in the lymphocyte cycle, along with increased expression of cyclins p21 and CDK2. Conclusion Prolonged exposure to low-dose neutron-γ radiation leads to reduced lymphocyte counts as well as changes in lymphocyte cycle and cyclin expression.
