Objective To explore the mediating role of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Methods A total of 1 006 nurses from ten tertiary general hospitals in eight provincial administrative regions were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their safety behavior, professional identity and occupational well-being were investigated using Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, Nurse Professional Identity Scale and Occupational Well-being Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS 26.0 to examine the mediating effect of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Results The scores for safety behavior, professional identity, and occupational well-being were (53.0±6.1), (123.7±21.2) and (90.8±13.1), respectively. Safety behavior was positively correlated with both professional identity and occupational well-being (correlation coefficients were 0.50 and 0.50, respectively, both P<0.01). Professional identity was positively correlated with occupational well-being (correlation coefficient was 0.51, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the professional identity and occupational well-being of nurses, the higher the level of safety behavior (both P<0.05). The result of mediating effect shows that the total effect of occupational identity on safety behavior was 0.498 [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.405-0.576], and occupational well-being played a mediating role between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses with the mediation effect of 0.156 (95%CI was 0.112-0.205), accounting for 31.33% of the total effect. Conclusion The safety behavior of nurses is at a moderate level. Both professional identity and occupational well-being can affect the safety behavior of nurses. Professional identity can increase the safety behavior of nurses by affecting occupational well-being.

Objective:
To analyze the differences in bile acid profiles during different pregnancy durations of patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), so as to provide a reference for early prevention and treatment of ICP and optimization of maternal-infant health outcomes.
Methods:
Pregnant women who underwent routine prenatal examinations and delivered at Hangzhou Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from 2021 to 2023 were selected as study subjects. According to the ICP guidelines (2020), pregnant women were categorized into normal group, mild ICP group, and moderate/severe ICP group. Age, parity, and gravidity were collected through the obstetric electronic medical record system, liver function indicators and seven bile acid levels were collected through the hospital's laboratory information system. Differences in bile acid profiles across pregnancy durations among the three groups were compared.
Results:
A total of 238 pregnant women were enrolled, including 57 cases (23.95%) in the normal group, 136 cases (57.14%) in the mild ICP group, and 45 cases (18.91%) in the moderate/severe ICP group. There were statistically significant differences between the three groups in total bile acid (TBA), cholic acid (CA), chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), glycochenodeoxycholic acid (GCDCA), glycocholic acid (GCA), taurocholic acid (TCA) levels (all P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, CA, GCDCA and GCA, and TCA were higher in the mild and moderate/severe ICP groups; compared with the mild ICP group, GCA was higher in the moderate/severe ICP group (all P<0.05). Significant differences were observed in the levels of GCDCA, GCA, and TCA among three groups pregnant women in the early, mid, and late pregnancy (all P<0.05). Compared with the normal group, mild ICP group had higher GCDCA and GCA in the early and mid pregnancy; moderate/severe ICP group had higher TCA in the early pregnancy and higher GCDCA and GCA in the late pregnancy. Compared with the mild ICP group, mild ICP group had higher TCA in the early pregnancy and the moderate/severe ICP group had higher GCA in the late pregnancy.
Conclusions
GCDCA, GCA, and TCA levels remain higher in ICP patients than in normal pregnant women across all pregnancy durations. Personalized perinatal management plans can be developed based on bile acid profile dynamics to optimize maternal-fetal outcomes.

ObjectiveThis study aims to observe the clinical effect of Danggui Liuhuang Tang (DGLHT) on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) complicated by atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) at high risk, focus on evaluating the influence of DGLHT on cardiovascular risk indicators such as flow-mediated dilation (FMD), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and explore the regulatory effect of DGLHT on the myeloid differentiation factor 88/nuclear factor-kappa B (MyD88/NF-κB) signaling pathway. MethodsThe clinical study was a single-center, double-blind, and randomized controlled trial. A total of 68 patients with T2DM-ASCVD at high risk for cardiovascular events with Yin deficiency and fire excess syndrome were enrolled and randomly assigned to a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was given atorvastatin calcium tablets and DGLHT, while the control group was given atorvastatin calcium tablets and placebos. The treatment course was 12 weeks, with a final study completion of 30 patients in the treatment group and 29 in the control group. Changes in cardiovascular risk indicators such as FMD, AIP, TyG, and small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) index were compared. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to establish a vascular endothelial injury and inflammation model. The protective effect of DGLHT on endothelial injury was verified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot . ResultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment, the AIP in the treatment group significantly decreased compared with that before the treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed significant improvements in FMD and TyG (P<0.05). Additionally, the treatment group demonstrated significant reductions in two-hour postprandial glucose (2 hPG), glycated albumin (GA), triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein E (Apo E), and sdLDL-C (P<0.05). Analysis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome efficacy indicated that in the treatment group, Yin deficiency and fire excess syndromes, including dry throat and mouth (P<0.05), excessive thirst (P<0.01), tidal fever and night sweats (P<0.05), and dry stools (P<0.05), improved. Compared with the control group, the treatment group showed significant improvements in symptoms of dry throat and mouth (P<0.05) and excessive thirst (P<0.01). TCM syndrome scores significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the overall efficacy rate was 56.67%, significantly higher than the 10.34% observed in the control group (P<0.01). At the cellular level, increasing concentrations of DGLHT led to decreased messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1-beta (IL-1β) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HUVECs (P<0.01), with significant reductions in the high-concentration group (P<0.01). DGLHT may inhibit the expressions of MyD88 and phosphorylated (p)-NF-κB p65 proteins in a concentration-dependent manner. ConclusionDGLHT shows significant effects in reducing cardiovascular risks and may exert an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. This finding provides a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in high-risk individuals with T2DM-ASCVD.
