Objective:To explore the application of the 4R problem analysis method combined with reverse teaching in nursing teaching in the pediatric operating room.Methods:In this study, 480 nursing students who were assigned to the operating room of Hunan Children's Hospital for internship from August 2020 to August 2022 were selected as research subjects. They were divided into control group and observation group in order of admission, with 240 students in each group. The control group received traditional teaching, while the observation group received the 4R problem analysis method combined with reverse teaching. At the end of the internship, the two groups were compared for comprehensive ability assessment scores, recognition of nursing teaching, and degree of satisfaction with the teaching. The t-test and χ2 test were performed using SPSS 22.0. Results:The scores of theoretical knowledge, basic nursing skills, specialized nursing skills in the operating room, and comprehensive nursing skill assessment of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The recognition of nursing teaching among the nursing interns in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.001). There was a significant difference in the degree of satisfaction with the teaching between the two groups of nursing interns ( χ2=118.35, P<0.001). Conclusions:The 4R problem analysis method combined with reverse teaching can effectively improve the nursing teaching quality and the degree of satisfaction with the teaching among nursing interns in the pediatric operating room, enabling them to better grasp theoretical and practical skills.

Pharmacotherapy is the primary treatment method for hyperthyroidism. Antithyroid drugs can induce liver injury， and the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury is mostly exclusive based on medical history collection， clinical symptoms， serum biochemistry， radiological examination， and histology. According to the severity of liver injury， drug-induced liver injury can be classified into mild， moderate， severe， and fatal degrees. Drug withdrawal may not be necessary for patients with mild liver injury， but regular monitoring of liver function is required； in severe cases， patients may develop liver failure， which may lead to a mortality rate， and early identification， timely drug withdrawal， and reasonable pharmacotherapy can help to avoid fatal consequences. The treatment principles of liver injury induced by antithyroid drugs include promoting the recovery of liver injury， preventing the severe exacerbation and chronicity of liver injury， and reducing the risk of death. Standardized medication， timely monitoring， early identification， and early treatment are important measures for the prevention and treatment of liver injury induced by antithyroid drugs.

Objective To analyze the effects of three sterilization methods,namely,pressure steam,low-temperature plasma and ethylene oxide,on the magnetic flux of magnetic surgical devices and their sterilization costs.Methods A total of 234 magnetic surgical devices of different specifications and models(magnetic rings)were randomly divided into Group A,Group B and Group C after the paired number was labelled,and each group consisted of 78 pieces(39 pairs).After packaging each pair of devices according to sterilization specifications,Group A was sterilized by pressure steam,Group B was sterilized by low-temperature plasma,and Group C was sterilized by ethylene oxide.We measured the magnetic flux of three sets of magnetic rings before and after sterilization,and comparatively analyzed the sterilization cost and sterilization time of the single package.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the impact of the three sterilization methods on the magnetic flux of the magnetic surgical devices(P＞0.05),but there was a significant difference in the magnetic flux before and after sterilization for each sterilization method(P＜0.001);the sterilization cost was(1.96±0.16)yuan for Group A,(23.17±0.32)yuan for Group B,and(8.16±0.18)yuan for Group C,showing statistically significant differences among the three groups(P＜0.01).The sterilization time was(65.21±3.36)min for Group A,(45.46±1.39)min for Group B,and(1020.38±12.21)min for Group C,with statistically significant differences among the three groups(P＜0.01).Conclusion None of the three sterilization methods affects the magnetic flux of the magnetic surgical devices.Pressure steam method shows the lowest cost of single package,low-temperature plasma method shows the highest cost of single package,while ethylene oxide method shows the highest sterilization time.Pressure steam should be the preferred sterilization method for magnetic surgical devices.

By conducting retrospective analysis, this study aim to investigate the resistance mechanism of quinolones in non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS). A total of 105 strains of NTS isolated from clinical specimens from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University from May 2020 to February 2021 were used as research objects. VITEK2 Compact automatic identification drug sensitivity analysis system and serological test were used to identify the strains. The sensitivity of the strains to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid was detected by AGAR dilution method. The whole genome of 105 strains of NTS was sequenced. Abricate and other softwares were used to analyze drug-resistant genes, including plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance gene (PMQR) and Quinolone resistance determination region (QRDR). Serotypes and ST types were analyzed using SISTR and MLST, and phylogenetic trees were constructed. The results showed that the NTS isolated in this region were mainly ST34 Salmonella typhimurium (53.3%). The drug sensitivity results showed that the drug resistance rates of NTS to ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin and nalidixic acid were 30.4%, 1.9% and 22.0%, respectively, and the intermediate rates of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin were 27.6% and 54.2%.A total of 46 (74.2%) of the 62 quinolone non-susceptible strains carried the PMQR gene, mainly qnrS1 (80.4%), followed by aac(6′)-Ib-cr(15.2%); there were 14 NTS and 8 NTS had gyrA and parC gene mutations, respectively. The gyrA was mutations at the amino acid position 87, Asp87Tyr, Asp87Asn, Asp87Gly, and Thr57Ser mutations were detected in parC. In conclusion, this study found that NTS had relatively high resistance to quinolones, carrying qnrS1 gene mainly resulted in decreased sensitivity of NTS to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, and gyrA:87 mutation mainly resulted in NTS resistance to Nalidixic acid; Salmonella typhimurium in clinical isolates showed clonal transmission and required further epidemiological surveillance.

Objective:To explore the current situation of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma, and to analyze the latent profile categories and influencing factors, so as to provide the reference for the formulation of prevention and intervention.Methods:Using convenient sampling method, school-age children with asthma and their parents treated in the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Xiangya School of Medicine, Central South University from March to August 2023 were selected as the study objects. The General Data Questionnaire, Parent Fear of Progression Scale, Childhood Asthma Control Test, and Social Support Rating Scale were used to investigate school-age children with asthma and their parents. Latent profile analysis was performed on the fear of disease progression among parents of school-age children with asthma, and χ2 test and binary Logistic regression were used to explore the influencing factors. Results:A total of 210 parents of the children were included with 51 fathers and 159 mothers.The age distribution was 20-30 years old with 42 parents, 31-40 years old with 112 parents, 41-50 years old with 56 parents. In 210 children with asthma, there were 123 males and 87 females, with 141 cases aged<10 years old and 69 cases aged ≥10 years old. The fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma could be divided into two potential profile categories: "psychological dysfunction group (46.7%, 98/210)" and "psychological health good group (53.3%, 112/210)". The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that asthma family history, combined allergic rhinitis, child-parent relationship, marital status, asthma symptom control level, and social support level were the influencing factors of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma( OR values were 0.925-10.010, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma is at a moderate level, and there are obvious different classification characteristics. In the future, targeted and precise prevention and intervention should be implemented according to the category characteristics of fear of progression among parents of school-age children with asthma.
