Objective:To explore the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of a novel suture instrument for closure of full thickness defects of the gastric wall under gastroscopy.Methods:Ten pigs were used as experimental animals. Perforation model (30 mm in long diameter) was created in the stomach of each pig. The perforations were then closed by the novel suture instrument under gastroscopy. The completion time and efficacy of each perforation repair were recorded. The pigs were euthanized 14 days after the procedure. The healing condition was observed under gastroscopy. A postmortem examination was performed to observe the abdominal infection and healing condition of perforation. Ascites sample was taken for bacterial culture.The stomach biopsy were taken for histopathologic examination.Results:All gastric perforation models in the 10 pigs were established successfully. Endoscopic closure for the stomach perforation was technically successful in all 10 pigs. The procedure time was 34.10±10.32 minutes. All animals survived. Gastroscopy and necropsy showed that the perforation healed well with local adhesion. One pig developed abdominal infection. Ascites culture were negative in 9 cases, 1 bacterial infection was caused by Arcanobacterium pyogenes and Escherichiacoli. The pathology results showed that the muscular layer of the gastric wall defect in the entire group was well repaired. Conclusion:The novel suture instrument is safe and effective in repairing full-thickness gastric wall defects under ordinary single clamp gastroscopy, providing an experimental basis for further clinical research.

Objective:To explore the occupational adaptability of psychiatric medical caregivers from the perspective of a composite ecosystem.Methods:Using purposive sampling combining with snowball sampling and based on ecosystem theory, an interview outline was set up to conduct semi-structured interviews with psychiatric medical caregivers from October to December 2023. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to extract the themes.Results:Totally 15 psychiatric medical caregivers aged 44-61 years, 4 males and 11 females. There were three themes in the study: microsystems-changes in cognition, emotion, and physical and mental health; mid-level system-support and difficulties for families, hospitals, and nursing staff institutions; the macro system-social psychological support system was lacking.Conclusions:Psychiatric medical caregivers lack professional knowledge, have more negative emotions in their emotional experiences, and have a serious lack of mental health support systems. There are biases and misunderstandings towards them in society. It is recommended that managers pay attention to the physical and mental health of psychiatric caregivers and improve their work adaptability.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of anxiety/depression emotions between sleep quality and cognitive function in adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods:A cross-sectional study design was adopted, involving 204 ADHD adolescents aged 12-18 who were treated between January 2021 and November 2023.All participants were assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)for sleep quality, the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) and self-rating depression scale(SDS) for emotional states.Four cognitive information processing processes(planning, simultaneous processing, attention, and successive processing) were evaluated by the Das-Naglieri cognitive assessment system(DN: CAS). Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 23.0 and Zstats software, including descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation analysis, and mediation effect analysis.Results:Among ADHD adolescents, girls exhibited significantly higher rates of sleep disturbance(71.59%(63/88) vs 43.97%(51/116), χ2=15.490, P<0.001)and depressive emotion(47.73%(42/88) vs 33.62%(39/116), χ2=4.159, P=0.041)compared to boys.High school students had a significantly higher rate of sleep disturbance than middle school students(64.84%(59/91) vs 48.67%(55/113), χ2=5.341, P=0.021). Spearman correlation analysis revealed that sleep quality(8.00(6.00, 11.00)) in ADHD adolescents was significantly and positively correlated with anxiety(38.00(32.00, 46.00); r=0.504, P<0.01) and depression(46.00(39.00, 54.00); r=0.427, P<0.01). And sleep quality, anxiety and depression were significantly and negatively correlated with the DN: CAS total score(109.5(91.25, 123.75); r=-0.158--0.237, P<0.05). Mediation analysis indicated that anxiety mediated the relationship between sleep quality and attention function(indirect effect β=-0.159, Bootstrap 95% CI=-0.287--0.046). Conclusion:ADHD adolescents exhibit complex interactions among sleep quality, emotion, and cognitive function, sleep quality indirectly affects attention function through anxiety.

Objective:To explore the impact of sleep disturbances on the symptoms and functional impairment outcomes in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and their path analysis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was made.Two hundred and seventy-eight ADHD children aged 6-12 years were selected from the Center for Cognition and Sleep, the People′s Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2022 to March 2023.The Swanson, Nolan and Pelham Rating Scale Ⅳ was used to evaluate the core symptoms of ADHD (namely, attention deficit and hyperactivity).The sleep disturbance scale for children was used to assess sleep disturbances [including disorders in initiating and maintaining sleep(DIMS), sleep breathing disorders, sleep-wake transition disorders (SWTD), disorders of arousal, disorders of excessive somnolence (DOES) and nocturnal hyperhidrosis].The Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale-Parent Report (WFIRS-P) was used to assess functional impairment (in family, learning and school, life skills, self-concept, social activities, and risky activities).The descriptive statistical analysis, t test, multivariate linear regression and path analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with those without sleep disturbances, ADHD children with sleep disturbances had significantly more serious functional impairment in family [(0.87±0.42) scores vs.(0.63±0.45) scores, P<0.001], learning and school [(0.75±0.37) scores vs.(0.62±0.35) scores, P=0.011], life skills [(1.30±0.37) scores vs.(1.08±0.30) scores, P<0.001], self-concept [(1.20±0.57) scores vs.(0.92±0.49) scores, P<0.001], social activities [(0.88±0.44) scores vs.(0.67±0.42) scores, P<0.001] and risky activities [(0.28±0.24) scores vs.(0.21±0.21) scores, P=0.043].The results of multivariate linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender, age, total intelligence quotient, and core symptoms of ADHD, the regression coefficients of DOES in domains of family ( B=0.02, P=0.042) and life skills ( B=0.03, P<0.001) and the regression coefficient of DIMS in self-concept were still statistically significant ( B=0.02, P=0.013).The path analysis results showed that DOES ( β=0.170, P=0.004), attention deficit ( β=0.223, P<0.001) and hyperactivity ( β=0.385, P<0.001) directly affected WFIRS-P.DOES indirectly affected WFIRS-P through attention deficit ( β=0.270, P<0.001), and SWTD indirectly affected WFIRS-P through hyperactivity ( β=0.199, P=0.004). Conclusions:Severer sleep disturbances are associated with severer functional impairment in children with ADHD, and sleep phenotypes can directly or indirectly affect functional impairment outcomes in different domains in children with ADHD through core symptoms of ADHD.

Objective:To investigate the supervisor-student relationship experience of nursing postgraduates from the perspective of humanistic care, identify the influencing factors for students' care experience, and provide a reference for building a good supervisor-student relationship pattern with humanistic care.Methods:Objective sampling was used to enroll 15 nursing postgraduates from colleges and universities in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Beijing, and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province. A semi-structured interview was then conducted in the students. Nvivo 12 software and the Colaizzi seven-step analysis method were used for sorting and analysis of the interview data.Results:Five themes and 15 sub-themes (namely, daily interpersonal interaction, academic interaction, emotional communication, internal growth, and professional literacy) were extracted. Among these themes, equal communication and mental health care were of particular concern to the students. The nursing postgraduates also expected their tutors to provide care in their daily life and help them develop three essential values.Conclusions:The supervisor-student relationship from the perspective of humanistic care is becoming more individualized and diversified. The tutors should provide multidimensional care to nursing postgraduates based on the students' personal characteristics. Meanwhile, they should focus on developing students' humanistic care abilities to cultivate high-level nursing professionals with a high humanistic care foundation.
