Objective: This study explored whether anxiety and core self-evaluation mediate the relationship between negative life events and depressive symptoms in adolescents of the Yi ethnic minority in China. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 627 Yi adolescents 10–19 years old (252 males, 40.2%) from primary, middle and high schools in Liangshan Prefecture in China completed the Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Checklist (ASLEC) to report on negative life events, the Second Edition of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) to report on depressive symptoms, the Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) to describe core self-evaluation, and the Screen for Child Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) to report anxiety symptoms. Results: In Pearson correlation analysis, total score and dimension subscores on the ASLEC correlated positively with total score and dimension subscores on the SCARED survey as well as with total score on the BDI. Total ASLEC score and dimension subscores correlated negatively with total CSES score. Mediation analysis indicated that negative life events affected depressive symptoms directly, as well as indirectly via core self-evaluation (mediating effect was 0.087; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.063–0.113; p<0.001). The chain-mediated pathway effect was significant (mediating effect was 0.017; 95% CI, 0.011–0.026; p<0.001). Conclusion Yi adolescents in Liangshan Prefecture show certain prevalence of anxiety and depression, and they score relatively low on core self-evaluation. In this ethnic group, negative life events can affect depressive symptoms directly as well as indirectly through chain-mediated effects of anxiety and core self-evaluation.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of Dingchan Granule （定颤颗粒） for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with syndrome of qi stagnation and blood stasis. MethodsUsing a randomised， double-blind， placebo controlled study method， 90 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were divided into 45 cases each in the treatment group and the control group. Both groups were given conventional western medicine treatment， and the treatment group was additionally treated with Dingchan Granule， while the control group was treated with Dingchan Granule placebo， both of which were taken orally for 8 g each time twice a day. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. We compared the clinical effectiveness， the improvement of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptoms and the recovery rate of atrial fibrillation between the two groups. We compared the number and duration of atrial fibrillation episodes， TCM symptoms score， atrial fibrillation symptom classification， 24-hour average ventricular rate， Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI）， anxiety index， depression index before and after treatment， and evaluated the safety of the two groups. ResultsThe total clinical effectiveness rate in the treatment group was 82.22% （37/45）， which was better than 60.00% （27/45） in the control group （P＜0.05）. The total effective rate of TCM syndrome effectiveness in the treatment group was 88.89% （40/45）， which was better than 66.67% （30/45） in the control group （P＜0.05）； and the rate of atrial fibrillation regression in the treatment group was 26.67% （12/45）， better than 6.67% （3/45） in the control group （P＜0.05）. The number and duration of atrial fibrillation episodes in both groups were significantly decreased （P＜0.01）， and the number and duration of atrial fibrillation episodes in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group （P＜0.01）. The TCM syndrome scores of both groups after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment （P＜0.01）， and the scores of the treatment group was lower than those of the control group （P＜0.05）. The severity of atrial fibrillation symptoms and the grading of atrial fibrillation symptoms in both groups after treatment were improved （P＜0.01）， and the degree of symptom improvement in the treatment group was better than that in the control group （P＜0.01）. The 24-hour average ventricular rate of both groups after treatment was significantly lower （P＜0.01）. The PSQI， anxiety index and depression index of the treatment group were all lower than before treatment （P＜0.01）， while the PSQI and anxiety index of the control group were both lower than before treatment （P＜0.01 or P＜0.05）， the PSQI， anxiety index and depression index of the treatment group being lower than those of the control group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. No adverse events occurred in both groups， and no abnormalities were observed in blood， urine， stool routine， liver and kidney function， and coagulation function indexes. ConclusionDingchan Granule for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome can alleviate clinical symptom， improve TCM symptom scores， increase atrial fibrillation recovery rate， stabilise the average ventricular rate， and significantly improve the quality of sleep， alleviate the anxiety and depression， with a good safety profile.

Objective To explore the efficiency improvement in segmenting neural network with the application of Transformer + U-Net artificial intelligence (AI) and modeling with the application of Python scripts in three-dimensional (3D) printing brachytherapy. Methods A Transformer + U-Net AI neural network model was constructed, and Adam optimizer was used to ensure rapid gradient descent. Computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging data of patients were standardized and processed as self-made data sets. The training set was used to train AI and the optimal result weight parameters were saved. The test set was used to evaluate the AI ability. Python programming language was used to write an automated script to obtain the output segmentation image and convert it to the STL file for import. The source applicator and needle could be automatically modeled. The time of automatic segmentation and modeling and the time of manual segmentation and modeling were entered by two people, and the difference was verified by paired t-test. Results Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean intersection over union (MIOU), and Hausdorff distance (HD95) were used for evaluation. DSC was 0.9341, MIOU was 0.8762, and mean HD95 was 2.516. The mean time of manual segmentation was 1187 s, and the mean time of AI segmentation was 145 s (P < 0.01). The mean time of manual modeling was 321 s, and the mean time of modeling with Python automated scripts was 18 s (P < 0.01). Conclusion The application of Transformer + U-Net automatic segmentation and Python automated scripts can effectively improve work efficiency in the 3D printing brachytherapy for cervical cancer.

Objective To construct and apply a management plan for microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions in ICU intubated patients.Methods Based on evidence summaries and expert consultation,a management plan for microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions in ICU intubated patients was constructed,consisting of 19 items covering 7 aspects including identification of risk factors,position management,tube and cuff selection,cuff management,mechanical ventilation management,pain and sedation management,removal of oropharyngeal and subglottic secretions,and oral care.Convenience sampling was used to select 141 ICU intubated patients from a tertiary A comprehensive hospital in Suzhou from June,2022 to September,2023.Patients were divided into an experimental group(n=72)and a control group(n=69)according to the wards.The experimental group received the management plan for microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions in ICU intubated patients.The control group received the nursing bundle for ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP).The incidence and time from intubation to microaspiration and VAP,duration of mechanical ventilation,ICU length of stay,and disease outcome were compared between the 2 groups.Results The incidence of microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions,the duration of mechanical ventilation,time from intubation to microaspiration showed significant differences between the 2 groups(P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia,ICU length of stay,and disease outcome between the 2 groups(P>0.05).The time from intubation to VAP in the experimental group was 7.5 days,and that in the control group was 3.8 days.Conclusion The application of the management plan for microaspiration of orophaiyngeal secretions in ICU intubated patients is beneficial for reducing the incidence of microaspiration,delaying the time from intubation to microaspiration and VAP,and shortening the duration of mechanical ventilation.

Objective To explore the clinical application effect of scenario-driven unscripted emergency drills.Methods A total of 120 nursing staff who underwent scripted drills from January 2019 to July 2021 were selected as convention group,and 120 nursing staff who underwent scenario-driven unscripted emergency drills at Ganzhou Women and Children's Health Care Hospital from August 2021 to July 2023 were selected as drill group.The two groups were compared in terms of availability of per-sonnel and materials,performance of duties,personnel protection,coordination and organization,division of labor in emergency teams,actual combat effectiveness,partial cooperation and assistance,handling of emergencies,and first aid awareness.Results The drill group demonstrated a higher proportion of personnel who arrived quickly,accurately,and basically on time compared to the convention group.The drill group showed a significantly lower proportion of individual personnel who were not in place and key position personnel who were not in place compared to the convention group(P＜0.05).The drill group performed signifi-cantly better than the convention group(P＜0.05).The drill group did better in on-site material preparation all as well as in per-sonnel protection compared to the convention group.The drill group had a more accurate and efficient overall organization than the conventional group,and the emergency team of the drill group had a more reasonable and efficient division of labor.The drill group demonstrated superior accuracy and efficiency in overall organization compared to the conventional group,with its emergen-cy team exhibiting a more effective and rational division of labor.The drill group achieved their expected outcomes in emergency drills,whereas the convention group achieved only part of their set goals,with most requiring enhancement.The drill group re-ported to superiors in a more timely and efficient manner compared to the convention group,and the group showed better coordina-tion between their departments was good,which could be achieved in a timely manner.The drill group demonstrated a significant-ly better overall response to emergencies and significantly stronger emergency awareness compared to the convention group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Scenario-driven unscripted emergency drills can enhance the emergency response capabilities of nursing staff,improve their decision-making and command skills,optimize organizational coordination,and handling abilities,and strengthen their first aid awareness.

Objective To analyze the timeliness of the start time of the first elective operation in a hospital and observe its impact on the operating room cost.Methods Make statistics and analysis on the opening of the first operation in a hospital,record the on-time opening rate of the first operation,analyze the reasons for the delay in the opening time of the first operation,formulate corresponding intervention measures and set up a"management team to improve the efficiency of operating room use".The on-time rate of the first operation,operation,cost control and the satisfaction of surgeons and patients were compared before and after the operation.Results The overall punctuality rate of the first operation was 53.74％,among which the colorectal sur-gery department had the highest punctuality rate of 63.16％,while the minimally invasive surgery department had the lowest punctuality rate of 45.45％.The main reasons for the delay of first operation(35.29％),failed anesthesia(30.88％),and the termination of the operation(17.65％);compared with before implementation,higher overtime time of nurses,shorter opening time and expected time,decreased interval between operation(P＜0.05),lower frequency of centralized delivery and unnecessa-ry consumables cost within 1 month after implementation(P＜0.05),and higher satisfaction of patients and physicians after im-plementation(P＜0.05).Conclusion By improving the first elective operation on time,can effectively reduce the cost of the operating room,shorten the nurse overtime time,at the same time improve the satisfaction of doctors and patients,and improve the management efficiency of the operating room,the first operation on time improved,interval time and unnecessary consumables costs are significantly reduced,optimize the use efficiency of the operating room resources.
