Objective To explore the independent risk factors for complicated coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and to construct a risk prediction model. Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 308 OSAHS patients who visited Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital from January 2021 to June 2025. The patients were divided into the CHD group (n=80) and non-CHD group (n=228) according to the presence or absence of complicated CHD. Independent risk factors were identified using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed. The model was evaluated using the calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) curve, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The incidence of CHD in OSAHS patients was 25.97%. Age, history of hypertension, oxygen desaturation index (ODI), severe polysomnography (PSG) grade, decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated homocysteine, and elevated troponin I were independent risk factors for OSAHS complicated with CHD (P<0.05). The nomogram model demonstrated good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, P=0.995), and the DCA curve showed high clinical net benefit. The area under the ROC curve was 0.940 (95% CI: 0.908~0.972), with a sensitivity of 0.842 and a specificity of 0.900. Conclusion Age, history of hypertension, ODI, PSG grade, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, and troponin I are independent risk factors for CHD in OSAHS patients. The prediction model constructed based on these factors can provide a reliable tool for clinical nurses to early identify high-risk individuals and formulate targeted intervention strategies.

Objective To explore the clinical safety of plasma exchange(PE)combined with early continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)and its effects on coagulation and immune functions in patients with polytrauma and hypermyoglobinemia.Methods A non-randomized controlled study was conducted on 60 patients with severe polytrauma and myoglobinemia hospitalized in our department from January 2021 to December 2024.Based on different blood purification,the patients were divided a control group(CRRT)combined with conventional basic treatment,n=30)and an observation group(PE+CRRT and conventional basic treatment,n=30).Biochemical indicators(myoglobin,Mb),inflammation-related indicators,peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets,coagulation indicators,clinical-related indicators,and scores were observed and compared between the 2 groups before and after treatment.Results After 1,2 and 3 d of treatment,the levels of Mb,creatine kinase(CK),creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),serum creatinine(SCr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),K+,C-reactive protein(CRP),procalcitonin(PCT),IL-6 and D-dimer(D-D),and white blood cell(WBC)count were significantly decreased in both groups(P<0.05).Among them,the observation group obtained obviously lower levels of all above indicators than the control group at the 3 time points(P<0.05).Additionally,notably shorter average length of total hospital stay,shorter average length of trauma intensive care unit stay,and lower score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)was observed in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).There were no statistical differences in coagulation function indicators or T lymphocyte subsets between the 2 groups.No complications occurred.Conclusion For patients with polytrauma and hypermyoglobinemia,early application of PE+CRRT can effectively reduce serum myoglobin level,improve serum biochemical inicators,renal function and inflammatory status,and maintain homeostasis,but shows no effect on immune or coagulation functions.This approach is worthy of promoting in clinical practice.

Eight new diterpenoids, Isodons A-H (1-8), comprising seco-abietane and abietane-type structures, together with 13 known analogues (9-21), were isolated from Isodon lophanthoides (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Hara. The compounds (+)-3/(-)-3, (+)-4/(-)-4, and (+)-5/(-)-5 were identified as three enantiomeric pairs. The planar structures and absolute configurations of 1-8 were determined through high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS), 1D & 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations, and X-ray diffraction crystallography. A cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1) luciferase reporter assay revealed significant anti-cholestatic activities for compounds 1, (+)-4, 6, 7, 12-14, and 16. Additionally, compound 6 demonstrated anti-cholestatic effects through the farnesoid X receptor (FXR)-associated signaling pathways in vitro and in vivo. These findings suggest potential applications for I. Lophanthoides in pharmaceutical development.

Objective:To explore the behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards using vascular visualization devices in light of the theory of planned behavior.Methods:This was a qualitative study. From March to November 2023, 20 pediatric nurses from Peking University First Hospital were selected using purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. The interview data were analyzed and themes were extracted using Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices could be summarized into nine themes based on the theory of planned behavior. Attitudes towards behavior included positive evaluations, negative evaluations, and unclear information. Subjective norms involved peers' attitudes as well as expectations and pressures from patients. Perceived behavioral control encompassed workload, level of knowledge, more limited equipment performance, and external resource support.Conclusions:The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices are influenced by their attitudes towards the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Nursing managers should conduct standardized training on vascular visualization devices to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills, while also valuing the sources of various supports to create a supportive environment for the use of vascular visualization devices. This will improve the usage experience of pediatric nurses and promote the use of vascular visualization devices in pediatric nursing practice.

Objective:To investigate effect of vitexin on macrophage polarization and its impact on tumor growth in a mouse model of prostate cancer.Methods:C57BL/6J male mice were used to establish RM-1 prostate cancer xenograft model.Mice were ran-domly divided into model group,vitexin-low,medium and high doses groups(40,80,160 mg/kg),and cisplatin group as positive control.After continuous administration for 16 days,mice were euthanized and tumor mass was measured.HE staining was performed to observe tumor morphology.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Ki67 positive rate.Flow cytometry was conducted to measure expressions of CD86+CD11b and CD206+CD11b in tumor-associated macrophages.CCK8 assay was performed to assess cytotoxic effect of vitexin on RAW264.7 macrophages to determine suitable concentrations.RT-qPCR was used to measure mRNA expressions of M2 macrophage markers,including arginase-1(ARG-1),Fizz1 and Ym1.Results:Vitexin inhibited tumor volume and weight,induced tumor tissue necrosis,suppressed Ki67 protein expression,increased expression of CD86+CD11b+M1 macrophages,and inhibited CD206+CD11b+M2 macrophage expression in mouse tumor tissues in vivo.Vitexin at concentrations of 10～20 μmol/L showed no cyto-toxicity on RAW264.7 macrophages in vitro,and promoted expression of iNOS in IL-4-induced M2 macrophages while inhibiting CD206 expression,as well as suppressed mRNA expressions of ARG-1,Fizz1 and Ym1.Conclusion:Vitexin effectively inhibits tumor growth in a mouse model of prostate cancer,possibly by regulating M2 macrophages towards an M1 phenotype and exerting immunomodulatory effects.
