Restless legs syndrome （RLS） is a common neurological sensory-motor disorder， and the diagnosis of RLS mainly rely on the subjective clinical symptoms described by the patient， with a lack of specific auxiliary examinations or biomarkers. The diagnosis of this disease is still challenging for atypical cases. Various other diseases may have similar clinical symptoms as RLS， such as leg discomfort， leg pain and abnormal leg movement. This article summarizes the RLS mimics that might be confused with RLS symptoms， including the neurogenic， vascular， and musculoskeletal factors that might cause leg discomfort and pain， as well as the differential diagnosis of sleep-related movement disorders with symptoms overlapped with RLS， so as to help clinicians recognize RLS phenotype and provide a reference for the diagnosis of diseases that might be confused with RLS.

ObjectiveTo understand the seropositivity of neutralizing antibodies (NAb) and low-level NAb against SARS-CoV-2 infection in the community residents, and to explore the impact of COVID-19 vaccination and SARS-CoV-2 infection on the levels of NAb in human serum. MethodsOn the ground of surveillance cohort for acute infectious diseases in community populations in Shanghai, a proportional stratified sampling method was used to enroll the subjects at a 20% proportion for each age group (0‒14, 15‒24, 25‒59, and ≥60 years old). Blood samples collection and serum SARS-CoV-2 NAb concentration testing were conducted from March to April 2023. Low-level NAb were defined as below the 25^th percentile of NAb. ResultsA total of 2 230 participants were included, the positive rate of NAb was 97.58%, and the proportion of low-level NAb was 25.02% (558/2 230). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age, infection history and vaccination status were correlated with low-level NAb (all P<0.05). Individuals aged 60 years and above had the highest risk of low-level NAb. There was a statistically significant interaction between booster vaccination and one single infection (aOR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.19‒0.77). Compared to individuals without vaccination, among individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 once, both primary immunization (aOR=0.23, 95%CI: 0.16‒0.35) and booster immunization (aOR=0.12, 95%CI: 0.08‒0.17) significantly reduced the risk of low-level NAb; among individuals without infections, only booster immunization (aOR=0.28, 95%CI: 0.14‒0.52) showed a negative correlation with the risk of low-level NAb. ConclusionsThe population aged 60 and above had the highest risk of low-level NAb. Regardless of infection history, a booster immunization could reduce the risk of low-level NAb. It is recommended that eligible individuals , especially the elderly, should get vaccinated in a timely manner to exert the protective role of NAb.

Objective:To investigate effect of SARI expression induced by IFN-β on proliferation and apoptosis of acute myelo-blastic leukemia(AML)cells,and to explore its potential regulatory molecules.Methods:qPCR and Western blot were used to screen AML cells with low SARI expression as experimental cell lines.AML cells were treated with different concentrations of IFN-β,and expression of SARI was detected by qPCR and Western blot at different time to select appropriate concentration and time of IFN-β.RNA-Seq transcriptome sequencing and KEGG enrichment analysis were used to preliminarily screen potential regulatory molecules of IFN-β-induced SARI expression in AML cells.AML cells were treated with corresponding molecular inhibitors combined with IFN-β,cell proliferation was detected by MTS assay,and apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.To clear this molecule was involved in IFN-β-induced SARI expression on AML cell proliferation and apoptosis.Results:SARI expression in HL60 and NB4 cells were rela-tively decreased,so they were selected as experimental cell lines.After treatment with 1 ng/ml IFN-β for 12 h,SARI expression in AML cells was increased,cell proliferation was inhibited and apoptosis were increased.STAT1 was screened as a potential regulatory mole-cule for IFN-β-induced SARI expression.After inhibiting STAT1,effects of IFN-β on SARI expression,proliferation inhibition and apop-tosis promotion of AML cells were reversed significantly.Conclusion:IFN-β can promote SARI expression in AML cells by STAT1,in-hibit cell proliferation and promote apoptosis.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the qualitative research of virtual reality rehabilitation experience of cardiovascular disease patients, and provide reference for clinical application and improvement of virtual reality rehabilitation.Methods:Qualitative research on virtual reality rehabilitation experience of cardiovascular disease patients was electronically retrieved in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, and China Biomedical Database. The search period was from database establishment to October 2023. The literature was evaluated according to the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. The aggregation integration method was used to integrate research results.Results:Six articles were included and 25 research results were extracted. Similar results were summarized and integrated into 10 new categories, and synthesized into three integrated results, including perceived benefits of virtual reality rehabilitation for cardiovascular disease patients, perceived barriers to virtual reality rehabilitation for cardiovascular disease patients, and the needs and expectations of cardiovascular disease patients for virtual reality rehabilitation.Conclusions:Virtual reality rehabilitation is a supplement and continuation of traditional cardiac rehabilitation, and its effectiveness has been recognized by most cardiovascular disease patients. Future research should enrich the content and participation forms of virtual reality rehabilitation based on patients' personalized needs, strengthen team building, provide social support, and enhance the accessibility and experience of using virtual reality rehabilitation systems for cardiovascular disease patients.

Objective:To explore the current situation of homogenized operational skills training for Chinese intensive care specialist nurses nationwide.Methods:In July 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 80 teachers who participated in the First Intensive Care Specialist Nurse Teacher Training Course of the Chinese Nursing Association as participants. The survey was conducted using the Chinese Intensive Care Specialist Nurse Teacher Homogenized Operational Skills Assessment Questionnaire, which included adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, arterial blood gas specimen collection, and mechanical ventilation airway suction.Results:A total of 80 questionnaires were distributed, and 80 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 100.0%. The results showed that the pass rate of adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation assessment for female teachers was higher than that for male teachers, and the pass rate for teachers aged 40 and above was higher than that of other age groups. The pass rate of teachers who obtained the qualification of intensive care specialist nurses from the Chinese Nursing Association was relatively high. The above differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In the assessment of operational skills, there were 81 problems with adult cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 51 problems with defibrillation, 39 problems with arterial blood gas specimen collection, and 37 problems with mechanical ventilation airway suction. Conclusions:The overall operational skills assessment of the teacher in the First Intensive Care Specialist Nurse Teacher Training Course of the Chinese Nursing Association is good. However, males under 40 years old and teachers qualified as intensive care specialist nurses by nursing associations in various provinces and cities need to improve their operational skills further.

Colazizzi 7-step analysis method was used to summarize and extract themes.Results:Three themes were extracted, including insufficient cognition and skill in emergency response, lack of emergency response teamwork cultivation, and the need for systematic and comprehensive training courses.Conclusions:Universities, hospitals, and other training institutions should work together to develop a systematic emergency response teamwork training course for nursing undergraduates, to cultivate the skills of nursing undergraduates and reserve talents for high-quality emergency response nursing teams.

Objective:To explore the influence of family function and personal characteristics on death anxiety in patients with advanced cancer, providing reference for finding methods and approaches to alleviate death anxiety in advanced cancer patients.Methods:From March to June 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 182 advanced cancer patients admitted to the Cancer Center of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. The Chinese Version of Death and Dying Distress Scale and Family APGAR Index were used to investigate patients' death anxiety and family function. The Numerical Rating Scale and Kamofsky Performance Status were used to assess patients' pain and performance status. Single factor analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of death anxiety in advanced cancer patients.Results:A total of 182 questionnaires were distributed, and 165 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 90.7%. The death anxiety score of advanced cancer patients was (22.52±15.27), and 10.3% (17/165) of patients had moderate or above death anxiety. The patients' total family function score was (8.62±1.97), and 86.7%(143/165) patients self-reported good family function. The death anxiety score was negatively correlated with the family function score ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that Kamofsky Performance Status score, pre-illness employment, family function, place of residence, and pain score were the influencing factors of death anxiety in advanced cancer patients, and the differences were statistically significant ( R2=0.196, P<0.01) . Conclusions:The advanced cancer patients have low levels of death anxiety in our study. Advanced cancer patients with moderate family dysfunction, living in rural areas, working before illness, and high pain scores have high levels of death anxiety, while patients with good performance status have low levels of death anxiety. It is recommended that clinical workers strengthen the assessment of death anxiety and family function in patients with advanced cancer, take timely and effective measures based on influencing factors, and help alleviate death anxiety in patients with advanced cancer.

Objective To employ a mouse model of ABI3BP gene deletion for the detection of postnatal changes in body weight and glucose metabolism and establish a different method of creating a mouse model of low birth weight.Methods Heterozygote mice were mated to produce ABI3BP gene knockout homozygote(ABI3BP-/-)mice,heterozygote(ABI3BP+/)mice,and wild-type(WT)mice.Adult mice from all three groups were evaluated for glucose metabolism markers,including the fasting blood glucose level,glucose tolerance,and insulin tolerance.Additionally,body weight was measured at various postnatal time periods,and the weight ratio of critical organs in adulthood was calculated.Results The gene sequencing result of the polymerase chain reaction product of ABI3BP-/-mice showed that frameshift mutations occurred in the knockout region,with quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrating significantly reduced ABI3BP expression in ABI3BP-/-mice compared with that in WT mice.Notably,the birth weight of ABI3BP-/-mice(1.25±0.08 g)was markedly lower than that of WT mice(1.34±0.12 g)(P＜0.05).Conversely,the weight of adult(120 d)ABI3BP-/mice(27.70±1.93 g)was significantly higher than that of WT mice(23.64±1.34 g)(P＜0.01).The ratios of key organ weights to body weight were not significantly different between the groups(P＞0.05).Fasting blood glucose and insulin tolerance tests showed no significant variations between the groups.However,glucose tolerance tests indicated that ABI3BP-/-mice had lower blood glucose levels(15.68±7.04 mmol/L)than WT mice(23.01±5.75 mmol/L).Conclusions Deletion of the ABI3BP gene result in mice with low birth weight,poor growth recuperation,and inadequate glucose tolerance in adulthood,similar to the clinical growth traits of low-birth-weight human neonates.Therefore,this mouse model is a promising choice for the study of low birth weight.

Diarrhea is a common and frequent disease in clinical practice.Many factors cause diarrhea,and numerous research method with animal models of diarrhea have been explored.Despite this,drugs for the treatment of diarrhea in clinical practice are limited,and some existing drugs are only suitable for diarrhea caused by a single factor.Therefore,the construction and selection of appropriate animal models of diarrhea are not only important for in-depth studies of the pathogenesis,but are also effective means for the clinical screening and evaluation of drugs for comprehensively preventing and treating diarrhea.This article reviews the literature on the establishment and evaluation of animal models of functional,bacterial,viral,and symptomatic diarrhea,as well as progress of therapeutic drug research,to provide a reference for animal experimental research into the prevention and treatment of diarrhea.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and necessity of vasopressor infusion through midline catheter.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used for a controlled study. A total of 88 adult patients who used vasopressors admitted to respiratory intensive care unit (RICU) of Fenyang Hospital in Shanxi Province from June 2022 to June 2023 were enrolled as the research subjects. A total of 44 patients who were infused with vasopressors through peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) from June to December 2022 were enrolled as the PICC group, and 44 patients who were infused with vasopressors through midline catheter from January to June 2023 were enrolled as the midline catheter group. Both groups of patients used the modified Sedinger technique under the guidance of B-ultrasound for puncture and catheter placement. The middle 1/3 site between the cubital fossa and the axilla was selected. The catheters were 5 Fr double lumen. After catheter placement, the patients were followed until catheter removal, death, or 30 days (whichever came first). Based on the Infusion therapy standards of practice revised by American Infusion Nurses Society (INS), and combined with the results of previous preliminary tests, the safety evaluation was conducted on incomplete catheter obstruction, catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), phlebitis, thrombus within the catheter during extubation, redness of the puncture site (but no infection), and exudation of the puncture site in the two groups of patients.Results:There were no statistical differences in gender, age, catheter indwelling time, and primary disease between the two groups, indicating that the baseline data of the two groups were balanced and comparable. No CRBSI or phlebitis occurred in both groups during the observation period after catheterization. One patient in both groups had exudation at the puncture site [both were 2.27% (1/44)]. Compared with the PICC group, the incidence of incomplete catheter obstruction, thrombus within the catheter during extubation, redness of the puncture site (but no infection) in the midline catheter group were lowered [incomplete catheter obstruction: 4.55% (2/44) vs. 6.82% (3/44), thrombus within the catheter during extubation: 0% (0/44) vs. 2.27% (1/44), redness of the puncture site (but no infection): 0% (0/44) vs. 4.55% (2/44)], the overall incidence was significantly decreased [6.82% (3/44) vs. 15.91% (7/44), P < 0.01]. Conclusion:Administering vasopressor through a midline catheter can reduce the incidence of catheter-related complications, decrease the rate of central venous catheterization, and reduce the financial burden on patients.
