Objective To analyze the factors influencing occupational health literacy (OHL), work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and occupational stress in medical staff, and to investigate the potential associations between OHL and WMSDs as well as occupational stress. Methods A total of 880 medical staff members from 18 medical institutions were selected as the study subjects using a probability proportional method. Data on OHL, WMSDs, and occupational stress were investigated using the National Key Populations Occupational Health Literacy Surveillance Individual Questionnaire (including the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire and the Core Occupational Stress Scale), and the influencing factors and potential relationships were analyzed. Results The OHL level was 63.1%, the prevalence of WMSDs was 88.1%, and the detection rate of occupational stress was 24.0% in the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female medical staff had lower OHL levels than males (P<0.05). Medical staff with higher education levels and those working in higher-level medical institutions had higher OHL levels (all P<0.05). Medical staff working >40-<49 hours per week and those working ≥49 hours per week had higher OHL levels than those working ≤40 hours per week (all P<0.01). Medical staff with higher education levels or longer working hours had a higher risk of WMSDs (all P<0.05). Medical staff with lower monthly personal income, longer weekly working hours, and lower OHL levels had a higher risk of occupational stress (all P<0.05), and those working night shifts had a higher risk of occupational stress than those who did not (P<0.01). Conclusion The study participants had a relatively high level of OHL, a high prevalence of WMSDs, and a low detection rate of occupational stress. It is recommended that medical institutions effectively implement occupational health promotion and support measures to improve the OHL level of medical staff, to reduce the risk of WMSDs and occupational stress.

As an extension of the central nervous system, the retina is the only tissue in the body that allows direct in vivo observation of both neural and vascular structures, offering a unique non-invasive window for the assessment of cerebral neurovascular diseases. Recent studies have shown that multimodal imaging techniques—such as fundus photography, optical coherence tomography(OCT), and OCT angiography(OCTA)—enable quantitative analysis of retinal indicators including vascular caliber, fractal dimension, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and microvascular density. These metrics can, to some extent, reflect the severity and progression risk of cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. Consequently, retinal imaging holds promise as a powerful tool for early screening, risk stratification, and treatment monitoring. This article systematically reviews the application of retinal imaging technologies in the diagnosis and management of cerebral neurovascular disorders, with a particular focus on the important role of artificial intelligence(AI)-driven image analysis in enhancing screening efficiency, improving risk assessment accuracy, and promoting multidisciplinary collaborative care, thereby providing insights for clinical translation.

Objective:To investigate the drug resistance gene characteristics, plasmid characteristics and genome tracing of Shigella sonnei causing a bacillary dysentery outbreak in Shandong Province. Methods:Sixty-five Shigella sonnei strains isolated from a 2021 outbreak in a county of Shandong Province were analyzed using antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole genome sequencing (WGS), characterization of resistance and virulence genes, plasmid profiling, core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST), and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Results:All isolates had the same resistance phenotype and genotypes and were multidrug-resistant ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei, carrying important virulence genes. Plasmid analysis revealed a conserved genetic arrangement, pil( M/ N/ O2/ P)-tra( F/ H/ J/ K/ N/ O/ P/ Q)-IS Ecp1- blaCTX-M-14-Tn 903- yub( J/ I/ F/ G/ E/ D), and shared across strains from diverse regions and bacterial species. The cgMLST and SNP analyses demonstrated concordant clustering, with all 65 outbreak-related strains forming a single cluster alongside human-derived strains from Guangxi. Conclusion:The ESBL-producing Shigella sonnei responsible for the outbreak shares a homologous relationship with Guangxi human-derived strains, and the detected resistance plasmids and virulence genes underscore the need to strengthen drug resistance surveillance and genome tracing.

Objective:To explore the applied effectiveness of the Skin and/or tissue,Education,Cooperation,Understanding,Report and Evaluate (SECURE) nursing pathway based on action research method in the prevention process of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPI) of patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods:The SECURE nursing pathway based on action research method included the establishment of a skin care team to identify problems,and the formulation of conducting intervention plan,and the development of targeting nursing interventions to prevent the occurrence of MDRPI. A total of 84 patients hospitalized in the ICU of Hebei General Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected,and they were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 42 patients in each group. The control group implemented routine method to prevent MDRPI during ICU treatment,while the observation group implemented SECURE nursing pathway based on action research method to conduct prevention. The MDRPI incidence,the quality scores of ICU nursing,the scores of the Short Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36) of patients,the assessment of the improvement of MDRPI patients,and the satisfaction of patients for nursing care were compared between the two groups. Results:The MDRPI incidence during ICU treatment in the observation group was 4.76% (2/42),which was significantly lower than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference (x2=11.052,P<0.05). The average scores for device usage,prevention assessment,positioning management and preventive nursing after nursing intervention in the observation group were respectively (88.45±2.05),(89.36±2.11),(89.25±2.15) and (91.45±2.25),all of which were significantly higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences (t=11.425,12.052,10.052,13.478,P<0.05). After nursing intervention,the average scores for physical function,social function,psychological function and material life as the SF-36 scale in the observation group were (85.47±2.05),(86.48±2.05),(88.46±2.15) and (90.25±2.44),respectively,which were respectively higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences (t=12.414,11.045,10.252,10.478,P<0.05). The occurrence time,improvement time of wound and ICU treatment time of presenting MDRPI patients in the observation group were respectively (4.05±0.54) days,(3.45±0.15) days,and (8.12±2.14) days. Compared to the control group,the occurrence time of the observation group was longer,while both the improvement time of wound and ICU treatment time of the observation group were shorter,with statistically significant differences (t=8.485,10.012,13.001,P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of nursing care of patients in the observation group was 95.24% (40/42),which was significantly higher than that in the control group (x2=12.054,P<0.05). Conclusion:The SECURE nursing pathway based on action research method,which prevents MDRPI of ICU patients,can reduce the MDRPI incidence rate of ICU patients,and enhance the work quality of nursing care for MDRPI. It is helpful to the recovery of ICU patients,which can also shorten the treatment time of ICU patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of five-element music on depressive behaviors and intestinal flora in offspring of fear-stress rats during pregnancy.Methods Thirty-six 0.5-day pregnant Wistar rats were divided randomly into a control group,fear-stress group,and five-element music group,and the subsequent litters continued the maternal grouping.Pregnant rats in the fear-stress and five-element music groups were modeled on days 1~19 of gestation using the bystander electric method,while the five-element music group was also exposed to Feather Tune five-element music intervention.The fear behavior and serum glucocorticoid(GC)levels in pregnant rats were assessed on day 20 of pregnancy by open field test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,respectively,to evaluate the effectiveness of the model.Depression in 3-week-old offspring was evaluated by open field,tail suspension,and sucrose preference tests.Norepinephrine(NE),dopamine(DA),and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)levels in the hippocampus of the offspring were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography.Changes in the intestinal flora of the offspring were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing.Expression levels of the proximal colonic proteins claudin1,occludin,and ZO1 in the offspring were measured by Western blot assay.Results Pregnant rats in the fear-stress group stayed longer in the area around the open field(P<0.05),had fewer entries into the central area(P<0.001),and had higher serum GC levels compared with those in the blank group(P<0.001).In contrast,five-element music exposure reversed these behavioral changes(P<0.05)and serum GC levels(P<0.001)in the fear-stress group.Offspring in the fear-stress group exhibited decreased open-field crossing frequency(P<0.01),reduced sucrose preference index,and longer immobility time in the tail suspension test(P<0.05),compared with those in the blank group,together with significantly decreased NE,DA,and 5-HT levels in the hippocampus(P<0.05).Rats in the fear-stress group showed decreased diversity of the intestinal flora(P<0.01)and significant alterations in flora structure,including higher abundance of Proteobacteria,Enterobacteriaceae,Enterococcus,and Escherichia(P<0.05),and lower abundance of Spirochaetes,Spirochaetaceae,Lachnospiraceae,Ruminococcaceae,Treponema,Prevotella,Coprococcus,Allobaculum,Ruminococcus,and Dorea(P<0.05).The proximal colonic proteins Claudin1,Occludin,and ZO1 were significantly downregulated(P<0.05).The open-field crossing frequency,sucrose preference index,and duration of tail suspension immobilization were improved in the five-element music group compared with those in the fear-stress group(P<0.05),while DA and 5-HT levels were significantly restored in the hippocampus(P<0.05),species diversity of the intestinal flora increased(P<0.01)and changes in the abundance of the flora were reversed,and the proximal colonic proteins Occludin and ZO1 expression were significantly upregulated(P<0.05).Conclusions Five-element music intervention during pregnancy can ameliorate fear-stress-induced depression behaviors and intestinal flora disorders in the offspring.
