Background Prehospital emergency medical personnel (PEMP) are exposed to long-term high-pressure work, which can exacerbate psychological distress and impair job satisfaction and sleep quality. However, in-depth research on the interactions among these factors is lacking. Objective To assess the status of psychological distress, job satisfaction, and sleep quality of PEMP in Guangzhou and to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction. Methods From February to May 2025, 1085 PEMP from "120" emergency network hospitals in Guangzhou were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected via the General Information Questionnaire, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, and The mediation model of sleep quality in linking psychological distress and job satisfaction was constructed using AMOS 28.0. The bias-corrected Bootstrap method was employed to assessed the significance of the mediating effect. Results A total of 1063 valid responses were received (97.97% valid response rate). The mean scores were: psychological distress (27.99±10.75), job satisfaction (69.45±15.84), and sleep quality (9.82±4.47). Significant differences in the three scores were found across gender, age, monthly night shift frequency, and hospital grade (P<0.05). Higher job satisfaction was linked to lower psychological distress and better sleep quality and its dimensions, while psychological distress directly correlated with poorer sleep quality (P<0.01). Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction, with a mediating effect of −0.195, accounting for 43.62% of the total effect. Conclusion The participants report moderate psychological distress, moderate-to-high job satisfaction, and poor sleep quality. Psychological distress directly affects job satisfaction and indirectly through its impact on sleep quality. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health and mental health are essential to improve personnel well-being and work efficiency.

Objective To observe the characteristics of gut microbiota in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)with different traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome types,and to further explore the key microbial communities and functional differences affecting syndrome differentiation.Methods A total of 45 patients who visited the Department of Geriatrics,Hunan Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in 2023 were enrolled.These included 15 T2DM patients with qi-yin deficiency and blood stasis syndrome(Group A),15 T2DM patients with qi-yin deficiency syndrome(Group B),and 15 non-diabetic patients from the same period(Group C).Fecal samples were collected,and 16S rRNA sequencing and analysis were performed.Results 1)A total of 1 564 operational taxonomic units(OTUs)were obtained from the three groups of patients,with 224,127,and 351 unique OTUs identified in Groups A,B and C,respectively.2)Both α-and β-diversity analyses indicated differences among the gut microbiota of the three groups.For instance,in the α-diversity analysis,the Sobs index showed significant inter-group differences(P＜0.01).Group A(264.00±88.84)was significantly higher than Group B(145.90±87.0)(P＜0.01),while Group B was significantly lower than Group C(229.7±112.4)(P＜0.05).In the β-diversity analysis,the principal coordinate analysis(PCoA)indicated a clear separation among groups(R=0.1610,P＜0.01).The R values in the Anosim/Adonis analysis ranged from 0.144 to 0.196,and the R2 values ranged from 0.067 to 0.083,all indicating differences in inter-group comparisons(P＜0.01).3)At the phylum level,Firmicutes,Actinobacteriota,and Bacteroidota were predominant in all groups.Among them,Bacteroidota exhibited significant inter-group differences(P＜0.05),with its abundance in Group A being significantly higher than that in Group B(P＜0.01).4)Analysis of differences in microbiota composition,combined with linear discriminant analysis effect size(LEfSe)and Random Forest analysis,revealed that,at the genus level,the microbiota biomarkers between Group A and Group B were Parabacteroides,Bacteroides,g_unclassified_f_Lachnospiraceae,Roseburia,and Aspergillus,those between Group B and Group C were Erysipelotrichaceae_UCG-003 and Ruminococcus,and those between Group A and Group C were Parabacteroides,Anaerotruncus,and Oscillibacter.The results were validated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis,which suggested that the microbiota biomarkers between Group A and Group B(AUC=0.91;95％CI,0.80-1.00),Group B and Group C(AUC=0.84;95％CI,0.69-0.99),Group A and Group C(AUC=0.87;95％CI,0.75-0.99)had good diagnostic efficacy.5)The study identified 116 major pathways with inter-group differences through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis.For example,the enrichment degree of ABC transporter pathway in Group A(2.58±0.36)was significantly lower than those in Group B(2.90±0.48)and Group C(3.11±0.66)(P＜0.05).These pathways were associated with metabolism and environmental information processing.g.Conclusion The differences in the gut microbiota characteristics and functions among patients with specific TCM syndromes of T2DM may provide references for TCM syndrome differentiation and therapeutic mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the correlations of serum levels of platelet activation com-plex-1(PAC-1)and soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis(sTWEAK)with neu-rological deficit and clinical prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods A total of 170 ACI patients(ACI group)and 85 healthy volunteers(control group)were enrolled in this study.Based on severity of neurological deficit assessed by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,ACI patients were divided into of mild neurological deficit group(43 cases),moderate neurological deficit group(57 cases),moderate-to-severe neurological deficit group(37 cases),and severe neurological deficit group(33 cases).Additionally,based on the 6-month fol-low-up prognosis,ACI patients were divided into 51 cases of poor prognosis group and 119 cases of good prognosis group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure serum levels of PAC-1 and sTWEAK.Spearman correlation analysis was performed to evaluate their correlations with NIHSS scores in ACI patients.Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine their relationships with clinical prognosis.Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to explore their evaluation efficacy for poor clinical prognosis.Results Serum levels of PAC-1 and sTWEAK were significantly higher in the ACI group than in the control group(P＜0.05).Ser-um levels of PAC-1 and sTWEAK increased sequentially in the mild,moderate,moderate-to-severe,and severe neurological deficit groups(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum levels of PAC-1 and sTWEAK were positively correlated with NIHSS scores in ACI patients(rs=0.715 and 0.706,respectively;P＜0.001).Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression analysis revealed that older age,higher NIHSS score,larger infarct volume,higher PAC-1 level,and higher sTWEAK level were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ACI patients(P＜0.05).The ar-ea under the curve for the combined assessment of serum PAC-1 and sTWEAK levels for poor clini-cal prognosis in ACI patients was 0.895,which was greater than the areas under the curve for the individual assessments(0.792 and 0.786,respectively;P＜0.05).Conclusion Elevated serum levels of PAC-1 and sTWEAK are closely related to increased neurological deficit and poor clinical prognosis in ACI patients.The combined detection of these two markers has high evaluation efficacy for clinical prognosis in ACI patients.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum orexin-A(OXA)and aspartate amin-otransferase(AST)levels and the disease severity and prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS).Methods A total of 167 AIS patients(AIS group)treated at Hebei Provincial People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2024 and 84 healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations(control group)were selected as the research objects.AIS patients were categorized by severity into mild AIS group[National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score＜5,42 cases],moderate AIS group(NIHSS score 5—＜16,56 cases),moderate-to-severe AIS group(NIHSS score 16—＜21,36 cases),and severe AIS group(NIHSS score ≥21,33 cases).Based on 3-month prognosis(modified Rankin scale),patients were divided into poor prognosis group(＞2 grade,54 cases)and good prognosis group(≤2 grade,113 cases).Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between NIHSS scores and serum OXA and AST levels in AIS pa-tients.Multivariate unconditional Logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between serum OXA and AST levels and the prognosis of AIS patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of serum OXA and AST levels for prognosis.Results Compared with the control group,serum OXA level in the AIS group was lower,while AST level was higher(P＜0.05).Ser-um OXA level progressively decreased,and AST level progressively increased across the mild,moderate,mod-erately severe,and severe AIS groups(P＜0.05).NIHSS score was negatively correlated with serum OXA level and positively correlated with AST level in AIS patients(P＜0.05).High OXA level was an independent protective factor for poor prognosis in AIS patients,while high AST level was an independent risk factor(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the combined assessment of serum OXA and AST levels in predic-ting poor prognosis in AIS patients was 0.873,which was greater than the AUC of OXA(0.793)and AST(0.770)alone(P＜0.05).Conclusion In AIS patients,lower serum OXA level and higher AST level are as-sociated with disease severity and poor prognosis.The combined evaluation of serum OXA and AST levels has higher predictive value for AIS prognosis.
