Objective: To understand the changing trends and related factors of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding the three major infectious diseases (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, tuberculosis, hepatitis B) among freshmen in Jiangsu from 2019 to 2022, so as to provide a reference basis for the health education of infectious diseases in schools. Methods: From 2019 to 2022, a total of 33 944 freshmen from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province were randomly selected for four consecutive years to investigate their KAP levels online through self designed questionnaires on three major infectious diseases. The multiple linear regression model was used to analyze the changing trends of students KAP levels of the three major infectious diseases, and to explore the influencing factors of KAP. Results: From 2019 to 2022, the knowledge scores(18.0±3.1,18.4±3.2,18.7±3.2,18.8±3.2), related to the three major infectious diseases showed an upward trend ( F=436.50, P <0.01), and the positive attitude reporting rates were 81.77%, 81.46%, 82.68% and 81.74%, respectively. The reporting rates of positive practice were 80.11%, 79.25%, 79.08 % and 79.04%, respectively. Multiple linear regression showed that school type, parental education level, mother s occupation, average income per person in family and living arrangements during high school all had an impact on the knowledge ( β = -1.510 -0.559), attitudes ( β =-0.043-0.065) and practice ( β =-0.028-0.027) of the three major infectious diseases ( P < 0.05 ). The family residence areas only affected the reporting rate of positive attitude scores ( β =0.002-0.065), and whether only children or not affected the reporting rate of positive practice scores ( β =0.009)( P <0.05). The knowledge score showed an upward trend ( β= 0.297, P <0.01), the positive attitude reporting rate showed no statistically significant change ( β=0.001, P =0.22), and the positive practice reporting rate showed a downward trend ( β=-0.005, P <0.01). Conclusions Freshman in Jiangsu Province from 2019 to 2022 have shown a separation in KAP scores regarding the three major infectious diseases. Targeted measures should be taken to improve their health practice level.

Objective:To systematically evaluate and Meta-synthesize qualitative studies on the home management needs of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) to understand their actual self-management needs and improve the quality of home management for patients with SCI in China.Methods:A comprehensive search was conducted in databases including CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library for qualitative research on the home management needs of patients with SCI, with a search timeframe up to November 30, 2023. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument (2016). Results were integrated and analyzed using Meta-synthesize methods.Results:A total of 15 studies were included, from which 58 distinct research findings were extracted. These were categorized into 10 new categories, which were further integrated into four main results: the need for positive emotional support, daily living-related needs, healthcare service needs, and social support needs.Conclusions:Healthcare providers should deeply understand the home management needs of patients with SCI. Utilizing artificial intelligence technology, an integrated support model encompassing hospital, home, and society can be constructed. Establishing a comprehensive home rehabilitation platform for patients with SCI can focus on psychological issues and enhance social support levels, thereby improving patients' quality of life.

Objective:To integrate qualitative research on the real experience of patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) returning to society after discharge, so as to provide a basis for developing transitional care intervention program, and promote patients' reintegration into society.Methods:Qualitative research on the real experience of patients with SCI returning to society after discharge was electronically retrieved on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, China Biomedical Literature Service System, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and so on .The search period was from database establishment to August 30, 2023. The quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center (2016) was used to assess the quality of literature, and Meta-synthesis was used to integrate the results.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, and 51 research results were extracted. Similar research results were summarized and combined to form 12 new categories, which were then synthesized into four integrated results, including experiencing physical and mental discomfort following discharge, facing challenges in reintegrating into society, seeking social support, and adapting to social life through self-adjustment role changes.Conclusions:Patients with SCI have multiple psychological experiences in the process of reintegration into society. Medical and nursing staff should attach importance to their inner needs, help them overcome stress and challenges, provide them with personalized continuous care, and promote their role adaptation and reintegration into society.

Objective:To understand the current clinical practice status of evidence on blood glucose management in ICU patients with insulin intravenous infusion, analyze barriers and formulate action strategies, so as to provide reference for the translation of evidence into clinical practice.Methods:Based on the clinical evidence application model of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Evidence-Based Health Care Center, clinical nursing problems were identified, literature search, evaluating and summarizing evidence were carried out, and review indicators and methods were developed. From July to August 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 42 nurses and 80 patients with insulin intravenous infusion from the comprehensive ICU of Wuxi Second People's Hospital as participants for baseline review. Barriers were analyzed and change strategies were developed based on baseline review results.Results:A total of 16 pieces of evidence were introduced regarding blood glucose management in ICU patients with insulin intravenous infusion. Nineteen review indicators were formulated, of which 13 had a compliance rate of less than 60%. Analysis identified 18 barriers and 13 facilitators. Sixteen change strategies were developed based on barriers and facilitators.Conclusions:There is still a significant gap between the evidence of ICU insulin intravenous infusion blood glucose management and clinical practice. Evidence-based practice programs should be constructed based on intervention strategies to effectively promote the application of evidence in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the changes in interaction proteome of NUS1 mutant R290C and their relations with pathogenicity of Lennox Gastaut syndrome (LGS). Methods:The wild-type and mutant NUS1(R290C) plasmids were constructed and transfected into human embryonic kidney HEK293T cells; 48 h after that, NUS1 protein expression in HEK293T cells was detected by Western blotting. Co-immunoprecipitation, silver nitrate staining, and proteomic analysis were used to analyze the proteins interacted with wild-type or mutant NUS1 and identify the differential interacting proteins. Enrichment analyses of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) were performed to annotate the molecular function and signaling pathways involved in the differential proteins. DisGeNet database was used to analyze the association between differential proteins and human diseases. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) was used to analyze the interaction network of NUS1 with protein folding regulatory proteins (RTN4 and DHDDS) and developmental epileptic encephalopathy related proteins.Results:(1) There was no significant difference in NUS1 protein expression between the wild-type and mutant NUS1 transfected HEK293T cells ( t=0.536, P=0.620). (2) Compared with that with wild-type NUS1 plasmid, number of proteins interacting with mutant NUS1 plasmid was significantly reduced in the transfected cells; 310 differential interacting proteins were screened in the mutant NUS1. (3) GO and KEGG enrichment analyses showed that the differential proteins were mainly involved in protein folding reaction and translation regulation. (4) DisGeNet association analysis showed that the two most relevant proteins in the differential interacting proteins were associated with frontotemporal dementia and developmental epileptic encephalopathy. (5) PPI analysis showed that NUS1 may be involved in occurrence of neurological diseases such as LGS by affecting protein folding signaling pathways. Conclusion:NUS1 mutant R290C alters its interacting protein lineage and mediates the development of LGS and other neurological diseases probably by regulating protein folding-related signaling.

Diabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of vision loss in diabetic patients, its pathogenesis is complicated, and the clinical treatment is not good. DME is extremely harmful to vision. With the deepening of relevant studies, its related pathological mechanism has become more and more clear, and the treatment methods have also changed accordingly. In recent years, the rapid development of intracocular fluid cytokine detection technology has provided a more reasonable explanation of the mechanism of DME and made the choice of treatment more reasonable. However, the acquisition of intraocular fluid is an invasive operation with a certain risk of infection. If the level of relevant cytokines in intraocular fluid can be linked with the relevant imaging indicators, it will provide a better choice for the treatment and prognosis monitoring of DME and reduce the risk of invasive operation, and further clinical studies are needed to explore its correlation in the future.
