Objective:To explore the psychological experience of ICU nurses caring for young patients with suicide attempts in a general hospital, and to lay a foundation for the study of psychological adjustment and intervention for ICU nurses.Methods:Twelve ICU nurses who had experience of caring for suicide attempted- young patients from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University were selected by using descriptive qualitative research method and the maximum difference method of the purposive sampling during October to December in 2023, and semi-structured in-depth personal interviews were conducted. Traditional content analysis method was used to sort out and analyze the data and extract the themes.Results:A total of 12 nurses completed the interview, 5 males, 7 females, aged 23-38(29.33 ± 4.14) years, three themes and seven sub-themes were extracted: psychological characteristics of care (avoidance of active communication, fear of care, empathy); the support required for nursing care (support from colleagues; support from nursing managers); self-growth after caregiving (self-growth in terms of life and death, and self-growth in terms of children′s education).Conclusions:ICU nurses have a certain degree of psychological pressure when taking care of young patients with suicide attempts, which will produce empathy for patients and affect their self-values. At the same time, they need support from colleagues and nursing managers. Therefore, general hospitals should pay attention to the psychological state of ICU nurses, carry out the targeted communication training and mental health support for ICU nurses, and help them gain positive nursing career growth and values.

Objective:To develop and validate a predictive model for delayed emergence in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery with general anesthesia.Methods:A total of 1 468 patients admitted to the anesthesia recovery room after thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from August 2020 to August 2021 were selected via convenience sampling. Patients who underwent surgery between August 2020 and June 2021 ( n=1 213) were assigned to the modeling group, while those from July to August 2021 ( n=255) were used as the validation group. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for delayed emergence and to establish a predictive model. The performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve ( AUC) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Results:Among the modeling group, 200 patients experienced delayed emergence, with an incidence of 16.49% (200/1 213). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the use of reversal agents, use of neostigmine, albumin level, presence of shivering, pain score≥4 points, extubation time, partial pressure of CO 2, partial pressure of oxygen, serum potassium level, and intraoperative fentanyl dosage were significant influencing factors ( P<0.05). The predictive model demonstrated good performance with an AUC of 0.864 [95% CI (0.828, 0.899) ], a Hosmer-Lemeshow test χ 2=5.299 ( P=0.725), cut-off value of 0.442, sensitivity of 0.794, and specificity of 0.769. In the validation group, delayed emergence occurred in 44 cases (17.25%). The model showed good validation performance with an AUC of 0.852 [95% CI (0.826, 0.878) ], Hosmer-Lemeshow χ 2=5.912 ( P=0.336), cut-off value of 0.754, sensitivity of 0.674, and specificity of 0.877. Conclusions:The predictive model constructed in this study demonstrates strong performance and can assist clinicians in the early identification of patients at risk of delayed emergence following thoracoscopic radical lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and disease-causing mutations of familial hypomagnesaemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis.Methods In February 2016,a 24 year old female patient with left kidney stone and nephrocalcinosis in bilateral kidneys was admitted to our hospital.One month prior to this admission,she had been treated by PCNL to remove the most part of left kidney stone in otherhospital.Mter admission,She was found hypomagnesaemia (serum magnesium 0.65 mmol/ L) and hypercalciuria (24h urine calcium 364.0 mg) but with normal renal function (serum creatinine 101.5μmol/L).And the remained part of left kidney stone was removed by flexible ureteroscope.As she was considered probably with an autosomal recessive FHHNC,an analysis of CLDN16 and CLDN19 gene mutations was performed using her and her parents'peripheral white blood cells.Results Mutation analysis revealed this patient had two heterozygous mutations in the CLDN16.One is an one-base deletion mutation in the 123th codon in exon 2:368delA.The other is a missense mutation in the 139th codon in exon 2:416C →T which resulted in an amino acid change Ala139Val.Her parents respectively had one of each heterozygous mutation.In the six months follow-up,an oral administration with hvdrochlorothiazide,potassium citrate,and calcium magesium supplements significantly reduced her hypomagnesaemia (serum magnesiun 1.0 mmol/L) and hypercalciuria (24-h urine calcium 156.0 mg),and no stone recurrence and aggravation of nephrocalcinosis and renal dysfunction occurred.Conclusions We diagnosed a patient with FHHNC who had a novel compound heterozygous mutation of CLDN16.This rare disease should be suspected if there are three constant clinical features of hypomagnesaemia,hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis,and verified with CLDN16 and CLDN19 gene test.Currently the option for treatment of FHHNC is symptomatic treatment until severe deterioration of renal function.The hydrochlorothiazide,potassium citrate,and calcium magesium supplements may have considerable effects on hypomagnesaemia and hypercalciuria.
