Fungal infections have emerged as a critical public health issue endangering human health. However, the existing arsenal of antifungal agents is limited in diversity and is commonly plagued by drawbacks including narrow antimicrobial spectrums and the frequent emergence of drug resistance, which severely compromises the efficacy of clinical treatments. Pathogenic fungi can develop extensive adaptability to currently available drugs through multiple mechanisms, which are mainly manifested in three aspects: drug resistance, tolerance and persistence. The molecular mechanisms and regulatory pathways underlying drug resistance, tolerance and persistence in pathogenic fungi were systematically summarized in this review, and the counteractive strategies such as combination therapy and the development of novel antifungal agents were further discussed, which aimed to provide theoretical basis and practical reference for the precision treatment of fungal infections.

Alcohol use disorder(AUD)is a common mental disorder and physiological disease impac-ting millions globally.Although multiple studies have explored the causes and treatments of AUD,its exact mechanisms remain poorly understood.The development of lipidomics technology provides a new perspective for studying AUD and can be used to investigate its biological mechanisms.This review summarizes recent ap-plications and progress of lipidomics in AUD research,as well as its potential value in prevention and treat-ment strategies.

Objective To explore the relationship the changes of Doppler ultrasound parameters before and after thrombolytic therapy in the patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis and the prognosis.Methods A total of 100 patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis from Decem-ber 2022 to December 2024 were enrolled,given the thrombolytic therapy and received Doppler ultrasound ex-amination before and after treatment.The sonographic manifestations of the affected side detected by color Doppler ultrasound before treatment were statistically analyzed,and the changes of Doppler ultrasound param-eters of the affected side[end-diastolic velocity(EDV),peak systolic velocity(PSV),vascular resistance index(RI),vascular diameter at the lesion site]were compared between before and after treatment.According to whether pulmonary embolism occurred after thrombolysis,the patients were divided into the embolization group(n=29)and non-embolization group(m=71).The Doppler ultrasound parameters of the affected side before treatment were compared between the two groups.The binary logistic equation was adopted to analyze the related influencing factors of pulmonary embolism occurrence in the patients.The receiver operating char-acteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of ultrasound parameters on pulmonary em-bolism.Results After thrombolytic therapy for the affected limb with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis,EDV,PSV and vascular diameter at the lesion site were decreased significantly,RI was increased significantly(P＜0.05).Before treatment,EDV.PSV,vascular diameter and the proportion of thrombus grade Ⅳ at the lesion site in the embolization group were significantly higher than those in the non-emboliza-tion group,the RI was significantly lower than that in the non-embolization group(P＜0.05).EDV,PSV,RI and the vascular diameter at the lesion site all were related to the occurrence of pulmonary embolism(P＜0.05).The areas under the curves(AUC)of SEDV,PSV,RI and vascular diameter at the lesion site in predic-ting the pulmonary embolism occurrence in the patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis were 0.690,0.717,0.649 and 0.662 respectively.The AUC of the 4-items combination in diagnosing the poor prognosis of the patients was 0.829,and the combined diagnostic value was higher.Conclusion EDV,PSV,vascular diameter and RI could predict the risk of pulmonary embolism occurrence after thrombolytic therapy in the patients with acute lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.

Objective:To evaluate the application effectiveness of a training program for a nutritional support training base from the perspective of clinical nurses, and to provide a reference for optimizing and improving the training program.Methods:In October 2022, a clinical training program for nutritional support nurses was established based on the core competencies. The clinical training program was carried out from July to September 2023. The trainees who completed the training course were invited to participate in qualitative interviews to evaluate the course. The interview content was recorded, transcribed, and encoded using NVivo 11.0 software. The data were sorted and analyzed using thematic framework analysis.Results:Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 10 clinical nurses until data saturation was achieved. Three general themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted, including overall evaluation of the training course (rich, comprehensive, and reasonable training content; professional and skilled teaching team), changes brought by the course (improvement of clinical work confidence, strengthening of peer learning, enhancement of the initiative of independent learning, and identification of the factors that hinder the development of specialty), and recommendations for the course (the diversity of teaching forms, reasonable arrangement of practical training departments, increase in operational practice opportunities, establishment of online courses).Conclusions:The students had high overall evaluation on the training course of the nutritional support base. Based on their suggestions, the course can be optimized in the future by diversifying the teaching forms, rationally arranging the practical training departments, strengthening operational practices, and constructing online courses.

BackgroundIn Sichuan Province， most healthcare institutions providing mental health services have adopted self-developed evaluation indicators for the quality of nursing care in psychiatric closed wards， lacking unified standards. This results in insufficient authority and homogeneity， which is unfavorable for the standardized assessment and continuous improvement of nursing quality. ObjectiveTo construct a standardized evaluation indicator system for nursing quality of psychiatric closed wards in Sichuan Province， so as to provide references for nursing quality management and assessment. MethodsBased on bio-psycho-social medical model and guided by "Structure-Process-Outcome" quality evaluation framework， preliminary evaluation indicators for nursing quality in psychiatric closed wards were developed through literature analysis， research team discussions and clinical experience. Through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation， the indicators were revised and finalized. ResultsThe response rates for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation questionnaire were 100%. The expert authority coefficients were 0.845 and 0.864， respectively， and the Kendall's coordination coefficients ranged from 0.119 to 0.210 （P<0.01）. Ultimately， a nursing quality evaluation index system for psychiatric closed wards was established， comprising 3 first-level indicators， 9 second-level indicators and 46 third-level indicators. ConclusionThe nursing quality evaluation indicators for psychiatric closed wards constructed based on the Delphi method can provide references for nursing quality management and evaluation in such wards. ［Funded by Research Project Fund of Sichuan Nursing Society （number， H20004）； Sichuan Hospital Association Hospital Management Research Special Fund （number， YG2323）］

Objective:To analyze the relationship between 24-hour urinary calcium (24 h UCa) level and the risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality.Methods:In the Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease, we examined 3 375 patients aged 18-74 years with CKD stages 1-4. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to test a time-to-event association between levels of 24 h UCa and incidence of ESKD, CVD, and all-cause mortality.Results:During a follow-up of 4.17 (3.37, 5.20) years, 179, 145, 104 and 38 ESKD events occurred in <0.60, 0.60-, 1.20-, ≥2.32 mmol 24 h UCa groups. Higher levels of 24 h UCa (1.20-,≥2.32 mmol) were independently associated with a lower incidence of ESKD events in patients with CKD, with HR (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.54-0.93) and 0.43 (0.29-0.64), respectively. No significant associations with CVD and all-cause mortality endpoints were detected. Conclusion:Among patients with CKD, levels of 24 h UCa displayed an association with the risk of ESKD among patients with CKD stages 1-4.
