Objective To investigate the post-discharge exercise behavior and factors influencing moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) in patients undergoing lung surgery. Methods A total of 2874 patients from the large prospective, observational perioperative lung symptom study cohort (CN-PRO-Lung 3) in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Sichuan Cancer Hospital between April 7, 2021, and January 31, 2024, were selected as the survey subjects. A survey was conducted using the Investigation of Exercise Behavior after Lung Surgery questionnaire and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) among patients who underwent lung surgery. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing patients’ engagement in MVPA. Results A total of 702 patients were surveyed, including 252 males and 450 females, with an average age of (52.4±10.2) years. Patients with lung cancer accounted for 85.9%. Only 36.0% of the patients had regular exercise habits, while 42.3% did not engage in any physical activity. The three main barriers for postoperative exercise were physical discomfort (pain, coughing, shortness of breath, etc, 54.7%), lack of professional guidance (41.7%), and concerns about the surgical wound (28.9%). The proportions of patients engaging in vigorous, moderate, and low-intensity physical activity were 5.7%, 28.2%, and 66.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a personal annual income ≥50000 yuan (OR=1.52, 95%CI 1.01-2.29, P=0.044), high school education or above (OR=1.92, 95%CI 1.33-2.76, P<0.001), and lobectomy (OR=1.44, 95%CI 1.02-2.03, P=0.037) engaged in more MVPA. Conclusion Patients undergoing lung surgery have inadequate physical activity after discharge, particularly lacking in MVPA. Patients with higher income, higher educational levels, and lobectomy are more frequently engaged in MVPA. Measures such as symptom control, providing exercise guidance, and enhancing education on wound care may potentially improve the inadequate physical activity in lung surgery patients after discharge.

BACKGROUND:Synthetic polymers,such as polypropylene and polyester,used for the treatment of abdominal wall defects not only lack biodegradability and bioactivity but also fail to meet the demands of complex and irregular wounds.Therefore,finding bioactive materials with low immunogenicity and good histocompatibility has become a hot spot in the repair of abdominal wall defects. OBJECTIVE:To prepare methacryloyl modified dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel and explore its potential application in abdominal wall defect. METHODS:(1)The porcine dermis was acellular with 0.25%trypsin and 1%Triton X-100 in turn to obtain the dermal extracellular matrix.After pepsin digestion and methacrylic anhydride modification,the methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel was formed by photocrosslinking.The microscopic morphology of the hydrogel was observed by scanning electron microscope,and its rheological properties,swelling properties and other physical and chemical properties were tested.(2)Mice fibroblasts(L929)were inoculated into methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel to detect the cell compatibility.(3)Totally 12 SD rats were randomly divided into two groups(n=6)to create abdominal wall defect model with peritoneum preserved.The defect site of the polypropylene group was filled with polypropylene material,and the hydrogel group was filled with methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel.The wound skin of both groups was covered with polypropylene material.The wound healing was observed and histological analysis was carried out. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Enzymatic hydrolysis had a good decellularization effect on porcine dermis after decellularization,and the original glycosaminoglycans and collagen were well retained.Scanning electron microscope observation revealed that the dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel presented loose and porous structure.The aperture was between 70 and 120 μm.The swelling ratio was(16.88±3.24)%and the water absorption was(94.24±1.11)%.The rheological property test showed that the methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel was stable and had shear thinning characteristics,with injectability.(2)CCK-8 assay and live/dead staining showed that methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel had good cell compatibility.(3)The results of animal experiments showed that the skin wound healing rate of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at 7,10,and 14 days after operation(P<0.05).Hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining of skin and muscle tissue exhibited that compared with the polypropylene group,the skin wound epithelialization,hair follicle formation,collagen fiber arrangement,and neovascularization were better in the hydrogel group 14 days after surgery.The skin wound new tissue structure was similar to the normal tissue at 28 days after surgery,and scar hyperplasia was less.A small amount of muscle regeneration was observed on day 28 after operation.(4)The results show that the methacrylated dermal extracellular matrix hydrogel can promote wound skin healing and muscle tissue regeneration in rats with abdominal wall defect.

Objective:To explore the effect of training transfer intervention based on dynamic transfer model (DTM) on standardized training for newly recruited nurses, and to provide reference for the establishment of standardized training transfer intervention strategies for newly recruited nurses.Methods:The quasi-experimental method was used in this study.The convenience sampling method was used to select the newly recruited nurses of Zhengzhou Central Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University as the research subjects.According to the entry time, the newly recruited nurses in July 2020 were selected as the control group ( n=50), and the training and effect evaluation was carried out according to the hospital regulations and "training syllabus for newly recruited nurses (trial)". The newly recruited nurses in July 2021 were taken as the experimental group ( n=60), and on the basis of the control group, the experimental group implemented the DTM training transfer intervention program for training. The scores of personal training transfer effect, general self-efficacy and organizational training transfer atmosphere were compared between the two groups immediately, 3 months and 6 months after training. Results:There were 11 males and 39 females in the control group; aged (24.80 ± 2.11) years old.And there were 14 males and 46 females in the experimental group;aged (24.40 ± 1.75) years old.After training, the total score of transfer effect of individual training in experimental group was (17.73 ± 1.56), (19.47 ± 1.92) and (22.30 ± 1.49) immediately after training, at 3 months and 6 months after training, and (15.84 ± 1.57), (15.98 ± 1.55) and (16.08 ± 1.55) in the control group respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( t=-6.32, -10.36 and -21.42, all P<0.05). Before and after the two groups of training, there were statistically significant differences among groups, within groups, and interactions ( F=137.10, 241.64 and 170.17, all P<0.05). After training, the general self-efficacy scores of the experimental group were (27.10 ± 1.81), (28.03 ± 1.85) and (29.05 ± 1.70) immediately after training, at 3 months and 6 months, respectively, which were higher than (26.28 ± 2.42), (26.36 ± 2.86) and (26.90 ± 2.87) of the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.03, -3.95 and -4.87, all P<0.05). Before and after the two groups of training, there were statistically significant differences among groups, within groups and interactions ( F=7.64, 71.26 and 30.25, all P<0.05). After training, the total organizational training transfer atmosphere scores of the experimental group were (39.35 ± 1.96), (50.38 ± 3.17) and (51.47 ± 3.28) immediately after training, respectively, higher than (38.08 ± 2.63), (38.48 ± 2.36) and (38.66 ± 2.27) of the control group. The differences were statistically significant ( t=-2.89, -21.94 and -23.35, all P<0.05), and before and after the two groups of training, there were statistically significant differences among groups, within groups, and interactions ( F=419.75, 261.56 and 207.99, all P<0.05). Conclusions:DTM-based training transfer intervention can improve the effect of personal training transfer, enhance the sense of self-efficacy and create a positive atmosphere of organizational training transfer, and effectively guide new nurses to apply the learning content to clinical practice after standardized training, and improve the effect of training transfer.

Objective:To investigate the indications for prenatal diagnosis using copy number variation-sequencing (CNV-seq) and the abnormalities detected by the method.Methods:This retrospective analysis involved 17 994 singleton pregnant women who underwent prenatal CNV-seq at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to December 2022. These cases were divided into five groups based on the following indications for CNV-seq: abnormal fetal ultrasound findings, high-risk results indicated by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) or Down's syndrome serological screening (Down's screening), adverse pregnancy history, and advanced maternal age. The proportions of cases with the indications for prenatal CNV-seq, the detection rates of abnormalities (numerical abnormalities of chromosomes, pathogenic/likely pathogenic CNV in structural abnormalities) in the five groups, and the distribution of these abnormalities were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-square test. Results:Among the 17 994 pregnant women, the women with abnormal fetal ultrasound findings, high-risk NIPT results, high-risk Down's screening results, adverse pregnancy history, and advanced maternal age accounted for 32.65% (5 875/17 994), 11.90% (2 142/17 994), 31.62% (5 690/17 994), 11.70% (2 105/17 994), and 12.13% (2 182/17 994), respectively. The detection rates of abnormalities in the five groups were 10.60% (623/5 875), 34.64% (742/2 142), 4.69% (267/5 690), 2.99% (63/2 105), and 3.67% (80/2 182), respectively. The overall detection rate of abnormalities was 9.86% (1 775/17 994). The cases with numerical abnormalities of chromosomes accounted for 68.79% (1 221/1 775), trisomy 21 was predominant (49.30%, 602/1 221). Chromosomal structural abnormalities were detected in 31.21% (554/1 775) of the cases with abnormalities, with 57.76% (320/554) harboring pathogenic CNVs and 42.24% (234/554) harboring likely pathogenic CNVs. The detection rate of chromosomal numerical abnormalities was higher than that of structural abnormalities in the abnormal fetal ultrasound group, NIPT high-risk group, and advanced maternal age group [6.81% (400/5 875) vs. 3.80% (223/5 875), χ2=53.10; 27.96% (599/2 142) vs. 6.68% (143/2 142), χ2=338.40; 2.43% (53/2 182) vs. 1.24% (27/2 182), χ2=8.61; all P<0.01]. A total of 416 microdeletions and 255 microduplications were detected in the 554 cases. The top three regions with the highest frequencies in microdeletions were Xp22.31 (12.74%, 53/416), 22q11.21 (7.93%, 33/416), and 17q12 (5.77%, 24/416); in microduplications, they were 22q11.21 (14.90%, 38/255), 17q12 (3.53%, 9/255), and 7q11.23 (3.53%, 9/255). Conclusions:Abnormal fetal ultrasound findings accounted for the highest proportion of prenatal diagnostic indications. The overall detection rate of abnormalities by CNV-seq is relatively high, especially in those with high-risk NIPT results as an indication for prenatal diagnosis. Among the chromosomal structural abnormalities detected in this study, the frequencies of Xp22.31 microdeletion and 22q11.21 microduplication are higher.

The article summarizes the differentiated effects of personal account reform on the satisfaction of different in-come groups in the reform of medical insurance outpatient mutual aid.This reform has significantly improved the mutual aid pro-tection offered by medical insurance funds through comprehensive measures such as adjusting the personal account accounting method,promoting coordination of medical treatment in different places,strengthening guidance for first visits at the grassroots level,and expanding the coverage of outpatient coordination.Satisfaction levels varied significantly across income groups,with high-income groups expressing lower satisfaction due to reduced personal account accumulation.The satisfaction of the middle-in-come group increased due to the reduced burden of outpatient expenses.While low-income groups benefited from higher reim-bursement rates,the satisfaction of the above groups was moderated by limited primary care capacity.Interdisciplinary research suggested that differences in economic utility,psychological expectations,and perceptions of social justice are the root causes of differences in satisfaction among different income groups.In the future,it is advisable to fully rely on the big data of medical in-surance electronic vouchers,conduct long-term queue research,construct innovative theoretical models,and establish regional collaborative policy frameworks.This article employed AI-driven predictive modelling to assess policy responsiveness under var-ying scenarios and explored the localization of advanced foreign models,and constructed a three-tier system of"basic protection+differentiated supplements+commercial insurance",so as to promote the precise and sustainable development of the medical in-surance system.
