Objective:To explore the current status and trends in emergency nursing teaching methods based on CiteSpace software in China from 2012 to 2023, and to provide reference for subsequent research.Methods:Literature on teaching methods in emergency nursing was electronically searched in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and VIP from January 2012 to December 2023. CiteSpace and Excel software were used to perform bibliometric analysis on the publication year, journal source, first author affiliation, keywords and clustering content.Results:An initial search yielded 1 550 articles and 936 relevant articles were screened and published in 194 journals. From 2012 to 2023, the number of publications on teaching methods in emergency nursing in China was relatively flat, the first author affiliations were mainly general hospitals, and the research methods were mainly quantitative. Keyword clustering showed that six themes were extracted, including exploration of professional skills, reform and application of teaching methods, nursing teaching and evaluation, teaching modes, teaching tools, and training modes.Conclusions:The trend of publications in emergency nursing teaching methods in China in the past 10 years has been relatively flat, and the quality of the literature needs to be improved. Emergency nursing teaching needs to focus on reforming teaching modes and methods, and further exploring the use of tools such as mind maps and teaching manuals to improve the quality of teaching.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Zuogui Jiangtang Jieyu Formula (ZGJTJYF) on histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) in the hippocampus of rats with diabetes mellitus complicated with depression (DD) and predict the regulatory genes of H3K18la. Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control, model, and positive drug (metformin [0.18 g/kg] and fluoxetine [1.8 mg/kg]) groups, and the three groups were treated with high, medium, and low ZGJTJYF doses (20.52, 10.26, and 5.13 g/kg, respectively), with 10 rats per group. After treatment, the forced swimming and water maze tests were performed to assess depressive-like behaviors and cognitive function. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to measure blood insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin, lactate levels, and lactate content in the hippocampus. Western blotting was used to detect H3K18la expression in the hippocampus. Cleavage Under Targets and lagmentation(CUT&Tag) experiments targeted hippocampal H3K18la epigenetic modification regions to analyze the transcription factors bound by H3K18la. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and Protein-Protein Interaction networks were constructed to identify key pathways and target genes regulated by H3K18la. Results: Compared with the normal group, the model group rats showed prolonged immobility time in the forced swim test, increased escape latency in the water maze experiment, decreased target quadrant distance ratio (P<0.01), increased serum lactate content, and decreased lactate content in hippocampal homogenate (P<0.01), as well as decreased H3K18la protein expression in the hippocampus (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, ZGJTJYF reduced the immobility time in the forced swim test and the escape latency in the water maze test (P<0.01), while the distance ratio in the target quadrant increased (P<0.01) in model rats. Lowered fasting blood glucose, insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin levels (P<0.05, P<0.01) were also observed. ZGJTJYF also increased the lactate content and H3K18la protein expression in hippocampal homogenate (P<0.05, P<0.01). The DNA sequences bound by H3K18la were predominantly enriched at the transcription start sites. ZGJTJYF modulated H3K18la-associated pathways, including cell adhesion junctions, tumor growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling, stem cell pluripotency regulation, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signaling pathway, and insulin resistance, leading to the identification of 12 target genes. Conclusion ZGJTJYF enhances hippocampal lactate levels and H3K18la modification in DD rats, which may regulate neural cell interactions, neurogenic stem cell function, TGF-β signaling, MAPK signaling, and insulin resistance pathways.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Chemical cleaning and disinfection are crucial steps for eliminating infection in root canal treatment.However,irrigant selection or irrigation procedures are far from clear.The vapor lock effect in the apical region has yet to be solved,impeding irrigation efficacy and resulting in residual infections and compromised treatment outcomes.Additionally,ambiguous clinical indications for root canal medication and non-standardized dressing protocols must be clarified.Inappropriate intracanal medication may present side effects and jeopardize the therapeutic outcomes.Indeed,clinicians have been aware of these concerns for years.Based on the current evidence of studies,this article reviews the properties of various irrigants and intracanal medicaments and elucidates their effectiveness and interactions.The evolution of different kinetic irrigation methods,their effects,limitations,the paradigm shift,current indications,and effective operational procedures regarding intracanal medication are also discussed.This expert consensus aims to establish the clinical operation guidelines for root canal irrigation and a position statement on intracanal medication,thus facilitating a better understanding of infection control,standardizing clinical practice,and ultimately improving the success of endodontic therapy.

Objective:To discuss the alleviative effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on chronic intermittent hypoxia(CIH)-induced brain injury in the mice,and to clarify its possible mechanism.Methods:Forty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,inhibitor group(treated with calpain-1 inhibitor),low dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group(treated with 10 mg·kg-1 ginsenoside Rg1),and high dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group(treated with 20 mg·kg-1 ginsenoside Rg1).Except for the control group,the mice in all other groups were placed in a hypoxic chamber with automatically regulated oxygen concentration to induce hypoxic brain injury.The peripheral blood oxygen saturation(SpO2)of tail of the mice in various groups was detected;the escape latencies and path lengths and the frequency of swimming route crossing the target quadrant of the mice in various groups were determined by Morris water maze test;the levels of blood urea nitrogen(BUN),lactate(LA),malondialdehyde(MDA),interleukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)in serum of the mice in various groups were detected by kits;the degrees of brain tissue injury of the mice in various groups were observed by HE staining.The levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in CA1 region of hippocampus tissue of the mice in various groups were detected by dihydroethidium(DHE)probe;the expression levels of calpain-1,IL-6,and TNF-α proteins in brain tissue of the mice in various groups were detected by Western blotting method.Results:Compared with control group,the SpO2 of the mice in model group was significantly decreased(P＜0.01),indicating that the model was successfully established.Compared with model group,the SpO2 of the mice in inhibitor group,low dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group and high dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group were significantly increased(P＜0.01).The Morris water maze test results showed that compared with control group,the escape latency and path length of the mice in model group were significantly prolonged(P＜0.01),and the frequency of swimming route of crossing the target quadrant was significantly decreased;compared with model group,the escape latencies and path lengths of the mice in inhibitor group,low dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group and high dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group were significantly shortened(P＜0.01),and the frequency of swimming route of crossing the target quadrant was significantly increased.Compared with control group,the levels of BUN,LA,MDA,IL-6,and TNF-α in serum of the mice in model group were significantly increased(P＜0.01),while the activity of LDH was significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the activity of SOD was significantly decreased(P＜0.01);compared with model group,the levels of BUN,LA,MDA,IL-6,and TNF-α in serum of the mice in inhibitor group,low dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group and high dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),while the activities of LDH were significantly decreased(P＜0.01),and the activities of SOD were significantly increased(P＜0.01).The HE staining results showed that compared with control group,the pyramidal neurons in CA1 region of hippocampus tissue of the mice in model group were loosely arranged,while some neurons were triangular,with nuclear pyknosis,cytoplasmic hyperchromasia,and a few neurons were lost,indicating obvious hypoxic neuronal injury;compared with model group,the hypoxic neuronal injury in CA1 region in hippocampus tissue of the mice in inhibitor group,low dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group and high dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group was effectively alleviated.The DHE probe detection showed that compared with control group,the level of ROS in CA1 region in hippocampus tissue of the mice in model group was significantly increased(P＜0.01);compared with model group,the levels of ROS in CA1 region in hippocampus tissue of the mice in inhibitor group,low dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group and high dose of ginsenoside Rg1 group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The Western blotting results showed that compared with control group,the expression levels of calpain-1,TNF-α,and IL-6 proteins in hippocampus tissue of the mice in model group were significantly increased(P＜0.01);compared with model group,the expression levels of calpain-1,TNF-α,and IL-6 proteins in hippocampus tissue of the mice in inhibitor group,low dose of GRg1 group and high dose of GRg1 group were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Ginsenoside Rg1 can alleviate brain tissue injury of the mice induced by CIH;its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of brain tissue inflammatory response and oxidative stress,and the downregulation of calpain-1 expression.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with invasive fungal sinusitis (invasive fungal rhinosinusitis, IFR) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and explored the risk factors for IFR after allo-HSCT.Methods:Nineteen patients with IFR after allo-HSCT at Peking University People’s Hospital from January 2012 to December 2021 were selected as the study group, and 95 patients without IFR after allo-HSCT during this period were randomly selected as the control group (1:5 ratio) .Results:Nineteen patients, including 10 males and 9 females, had IFR after allo-HSCT. The median age was 36 (10–59) years. The median IFR onset time was 68 (9–880) days after allo-HSCT. There were seven patients with acute myeloid leukemia, five with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, two with myelodysplastic syndrome, two with chronic myeloid leukemia, one with acute mixed-cell leukemia, one with multiple myeloma, and one with T-lymphoblastic lymph node tumor. There were 13 confirmed cases and 6 clinically diagnosed cases. The responsible fungus was Mucor in two cases, Rhizopus in four, Aspergillus in four, and Candida in three. Five patients received combined treatment comprising amphotericin B and posaconazole, one patient received combined treatment comprising voriconazole and posaconazole, nine patients received voriconazole, and four patients received amphotericin B. In addition to antifungal treatment, 10 patients underwent surgery. After antifungal treatment and surgery, 15 patients achieved a response, including 13 patients with a complete response and 2 patients with a partial response. Multivariate analysis revealed that neutropenia before transplantation ( P=0.021) , hemorrhagic cystitis after transplantation ( P=0.012) , delayed platelet engraftment ( P=0.008) , and lower transplant mononuclear cell count ( P=0.012) were independent risk factors for IFR after allo-HSCT. The 5-year overall survival rates in the IFR and control groups after transplantation were 29.00%±0.12% and 91.00%±0.03%, respectively ( P<0.01) . Conclusion:Although IFR is rare, it is associated with poor outcomes in patients undergoing allo-HSCT. The combination of antifungal treatment and surgery might be effective.

Objectives:To determine the effect of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency on patients’ complications and prognosis following allogeneic stem cell hematopoietic transplantation (allo-HSCT) .Methods:7 patients with G6PD deficiency (study group) who underwent allo-HSCT at Peking University People's Hospital from March 2015 to January 2021 were selected as the study group, and thirty-five patients who underwent allo-HSCT during the same period but did not have G6PD deficiency were randomly selected as the control group in a 1∶5 ratio. Gender, age, underlying diseases, and donors were balanced between the two groups. Collect clinical data from two patient groups and perform a retrospective nested case-control study.Results:The study group consisted of six male patients and one female patient, with a median age of 37 (range, 2-45) years old. The underlying hematologic diseases included acute myeloid leukemia ( n=3), acute lymphocytic leukemia ( n=2), and severe aplastic anemia ( n=2). All 7 G6PD deficiency patients achieved engraftment of neutrophils within 28 days of allo-HSCT, while the engraftment rate of neutrophils was 94.5% in the control group. The median days of platelet engraftment were 21 (6–64) d and 14 (7–70) d ( P=0.113). The incidence rates of secondary poor graft function in the study group and control group were 42.9% (3/7) and 8.6% (3/35), respectively ( P=0.036). The CMV infection rates were 71.4% (5/7) and 31.4% (11/35), respectively ( P=0.049). The incidence rates of hemorrhagic cystitis were 57.1% (4/7) and 8.6% (3/35), respectively ( P=0.005), while the bacterial infection rates were 100% (7/7) and 77.1% (27/35), respectively ( P=0.070). The infection rates of EBV were 14.3% (1/7) and 14.3% (5/35), respectively ( P=1.000), while the incidence of fungal infection was 14.3% (1/7) and 25.7% (9/35), respectively ( P=0.497). The rates of post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) were 0% and 5.7%, respectively ( P=0.387) . Conclusions:The findings of this study indicate that blood disease patients with G6PD deficiency can tolerate conventional allo-HSCT pretreatment regimens, and granulocytes and platelets can be implanted successfully. However, after transplantation, patients should exercise caution to avoid viral infection, complications of hemorrhagic cystitis, and secondary poor graft function.
