OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the quality of Sanzi powder from different batches based on 12 components quantitative analysis combined with chemical pattern recognition and entropy weight-TOPSIS method. METHODS The contents of 12 components in 15 batches of Sanzi powder （No. S1-S15） were determined by HPLC-MS/MS， such as ethyl gallate， gallic acid， ferulic acid， corilagin， genipin-1-O-β-D-gentiobioside， toosendanin， geniposide， caffeic acid， methyl deacetylated coumarinate， tannic acid， rutin， quercetin. Cluster analysis （CA）， principal component analysis （PCA）， and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA） were conducted on the assay results. Using variable importance projection （VIP） value＞1 and P＜0.05 as the evaluation criteria， the quality differential markers in Sanzi powder were screened. The entropy weight method was used to calculate the weight value， and TOPSIS method was used to rank the quality of 15 batches of Sanzi powder from superior to inferior. RESULTS The contents of the 12 components were 13.494-24.292， 2 069.608-3 188.100， 1.410-3.616， 1 065.030-2 630.584， 1 404.704-1 838.078， 101.640-354.268， 9 193.720-14 777.854， 1.240-5.060， 148.028-5 541.990， 4 261.422-5 607.438， 107.560- 195.512， 2.226-4.192 μg/g， respectively. The results of CA， PCA and OPLS-DA indicated that 15 batches of Sanzi powder could be clustered into two groups. Specifically， batches S3， S7， S10 and S15 were grouped into one category， and remaining batches were grouped into one category. VIP values of geniposide， quercetin， caffeic acid， and methyl deacetylated coumarinate were all greater than 1， with corresponding P-values less than 0.05. The results of the entropy weight-TOPSIS analysis revealed that methyl deacetylate exhibited the smallest information entropy and the highest weight. The relative closeness degrees of samples S3， S7， S10 and S15 ranged from 0.789 to 0.973， while the remaining samples ranged from 0.054 to 0.172. CONCLUSIONS The contents of 12 components in Sanzi powder could be determined accurately by using HPLC-MS/MS technology. Methyl deacetylated coumarinate， geniposide， quercetin and caffeic acid were identified as the quality differential markers. It was found that the overall quality of samples S3， S7， S10 and S15 were superior to that of other batches. Notably， the quality of Gardeniae Fructus decoction pieces emerges as a critical factor in ensuring the consistency of the preparation’s quality.

A 32-year-old woman,previously diagnosed with schizophrenia and undergoing long-term treatment with clozapine,experienced the onset of symptoms such as shallow coma,persistent high fever,and increased muscle tone one day after transitioning from clozapine to amisulpride.Combining with elevated creatine kinase levels and other examination findings,the patient was diagnosed with amisulpride-related neuroleptic malignant syndrome(NMS).Amisulpride treatment was promptly discontinued,and the patient was treated with bromocriptine,but it failed to relieve the symptoms.On the same day,intravenous administration of dantrolene sodium was conducted,then her body temperature decreased,convulsions and tremors improved,and other symptoms gradually relieved.After 5 days,her consciousness improved,and she was discharged after 10 days.Amisulpride-related NMS are relatively rare,and dantrolene sodium can be used as a potential option when conventional treatments prove ineffective.

Objective:To explore the cognition and behavior of nurses in blood purification centers on the quality of death of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:The descriptive phenomenological research method was adopted. From August to October 2022, a total of 14 nurses from blood purification centers in three hospitals, namely Beijing Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital were selected as interview subjects by the purposive sampling method. Semi-structured in-depth interview method was used to collect data, and Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze data.Results:The cognition and behavior of nurses in the blood purification center towards the quality of death of maintenance hemodialysis patients were analyzed into four themes, namely factors affecting the quality of death of patients, convenient conditions for nurses to carry out quality of death improvement work, proactive measures taken by nurses to improve the quality of death and obstacles in the process of improving the quality of death of patients.Conclusions:The nurses in the blood purification centers have special characteristics in their feelings about the death of patients with maintenance hemodialysis, and they have certain cognition and judgment about the quality of death of patients. Managers need to pay attention to the relevant needs and suggestions of the nurses in the blood purification centers and provide help and guidance, so as to continuously improve the quality of patient death and achieve the goal of optimal death of patients.

Objective:To construct a program for improving care ability of caregivers for children with home enteral tube feeding (HETF) based on timing theory, and explore its preliminary effects.Methods:Based on the framework of timing theory and literature review, intervention measures to improve the care ability of caregivers for children with HETF were extracted and summarized to form a preliminary program draft. Fourteen caregivers with experience in caring for children with HETF were subjected to qualitative interviews to supplement the content of the program, and the program was revised through expert meetings to form the final draft. Non-synchronous control method was adopted, and 89 children with HETF and 89 caregivers of them admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from March 2022 to February 2023 were continuously included as study subjects. The children and their caregivers included from March to August 2022 were in control group ( n=42), and the children and their caregivers included from September 2022 to February 2023 were in intervention group ( n=47), and the plan was preliminarily applied. Family Caregiver Task Inventory (FCTI) was used to evaluate the impact of the program on improving caregiver care ability. Age specific body weight z-values, height specific body weight z-values, and complications were used to evaluate the impact of the program on the growth and development of children and the incidence of tube feeding complications. The data was collected at the time of enrollment and one, two, and three months after discharge. Results:There were 66 children who completed the whole study, including 33 children in the control group and the intervention group, and 33 caregivers in each group. The application results showed that the total score of FCTI in the intervention group decreased from (25.91±2.94) at enrollment to (5.85±2.60) at three months after discharge, while the total score of FCTI in the control group decreased from (26.12±4.34) at enrollment to (12.52±3.60) at three months after discharge, and the total score of FCTI in both groups decreased over time. At one, two, and three months after discharge, the total FCTI score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). At three months after discharge, the incidence of complications in children with HETF in the intervention group was lower than that in the control group with a statistical difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The program for improving care ability of caregivers for children with HETF based on timing theory is scientific and provides basis for the management of home tube feeding of children.

Objective:To investigate the current status of therapeutic relationships, organizational support, and compassion fatigue among psychiatric nurses, and to analyze the mechanism of action between these variables.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From August to September 2023, totally 310 psychiatric nurses were selected from three ClassⅢ Grade A psychiatric hospitals in Qingdao, Jinan, and Linyi by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Therapeutic Relationship Assessment Scale-Nurse (TRAS-N), the Perceived Organizational Support Scale (POSS), and the Chinese version of Compassion Fatigue short Scale (CCFS). SPSS 22.0 and the Process macro plugin were used for data analysis.Results:A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed, with 282 valid responses, yielding a response rate of 90.97%. The total score for TRAS-N among the 282 psychiatric nurses was (95.59±18.75), the total score for CCFS was 45.50 (24.75, 68.25), and the total score for POSS was (43.66±13.34). Therapeutic relationships were positively correlated with organizational support and negatively correlated with compassion fatigue, while organizational support was negatively correlated with compassion fatigue (all P< 0.01). Organizational support had a direct positive effect on therapeutic relationships (β=0.291, P<0.01) and also had an indirect effect through the mediating effect of compassion fatigue (β=0.212, P<0.01), with the mediation effect accounting for 42.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:Compassion fatigue partially mediates the relationship between organizational support and therapeutic relationships in psychiatric nurses. Nursing managers should enhance organizational support for psychiatric nurses to reduce their levels of compassion fatigue, thereby improving therapeutic relationships.

OBJECTIVES: Several countries have successfully eliminated measles, and China is making significant strides toward achieving this goal. This study focused on investigating the patterns of measles infections in Zhejiang Province, China, as well as control measures. The objective was to provide valuable insights that could contribute to the development of nationwide elimination strategies. METHODS: We analyzed measles surveillance data from 2005 to 2022 in Zhejiang Province. We utilized a joinpoint regression model to examine trends in measles. Additionally, we employed SaTScan version 9.5 to identify spatial-temporal clusters. Finally, we used an age-period-cohort model to assess the effects of age, period, and cohort. RESULTS: The age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of measles infection in Zhejiang Province from 2005 to 2022 was 5.24 per 100,000, showing a consistent and significant downward trend with an annual percentage change of -24.93% (p<0.05). After 2020, the ASIR for measles infection fell to below 0.1 per 100,000. The majority of measles cases occurred in individuals either without an immunization history or with an unknown immunization status, representing 41.06% and 41.40% of the cases from 2010 to 2022, respectively. According to data from the National Measles Surveillance System, the annual rate of discarded measles cases from 2009 to 2014, and the annual rate of discarded measles and rubella cases from 2015 to 2022, were both above 2 per 100,000, indicating the high sensitivity of the measles surveillance system. CONCLUSIONS The significant reduction in measles incidence from 2005 to 2022 demonstrates substantial progress in Zhejiang Province towards the elimination of measles.

AIM:This study aims to examine the ependymin-related protein 1(EPDR1)expression in various tissues from wild-type C57BL/6 mice and type 2 diabetes(db/db)mice.The impact of EPDR1 on lipid accumulation in al-pha mouse liver 12(AML12)hepatocytes was also investigated.METHODS:Western blot was used to detect EPDR1 protein expression in the heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,gastrocnemius,brown adipose and brain tissues of C57BL/6 mice.Western blot and immunohistochemical(IHC)staining were also used to compare EPDR1 protein expression in the liver,gastrocnemius muscle,heart and kidney tissues of db/db and C57BL/6 mice.To develop an AML12 cell lipid deposi-tion model,palmitic acid(PA)+oleic acid(OA)was used,and the cells were transfected with adenovirus overexpressing EPDR1 or treated with exogenous recombinant EPDR1 protein(rEPDR1).ELISA was conducted to determine intracellu-lar triglyceride(TG)content,and oil red O staining was employed to assess the effect of EPDR1 on lipid accumulation in AML12 cells.RESULTS:Western blot and IHC staining results revealed that EPDR1 was widely expressed in various tis-sues of wild-type mice,with the liver exhibiting the highest protein expression level.However,EPDR1 expression was down-regulated in the liver,gastrocnemius muscle,heart and kidney tissues in diabetic db/db mice compared with wild-type mice.Oil red O staining revealed that overexpression of EPDR1 in AML12 liver cells or rEPDR1 treatment led to re-duced lipid accumulation.Furthermore,the TG content significantly decreased compared with the model group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:EPDR1 is expressed in various tissues of wild-type mice,but showed diminished expression in the liver tissues of diabetic mice.Nevertheless,enhancing the expression of EPDR1 can aid in reducing lipid accumula-tion in hepatocytes.These findings provide an experimental foundation for further exploration of the role of EPDR1 in the development of fatty liver in diabetic liver tissue.

Objective:To assess the effects of nutritional interventions combined with Traditional Chinese Med-icine(TCM)physical dialectics on the development of gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM),dietary status during pregnancy,and maternal and infant outcomes in high-risk pregnant women in early pregnancy.Methods:298 high-risk pregnant women with GDM in early pregnancy(gestational week≤14 weeks)registered in the Obstet-rics Department of Urumqi Maternal and Child Health Hospital from 1st December 2022 to 30th March 2023 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into the intervention group(149 cases)and the control group(149 cases).During 14 to 23+6 weeks of pregnancy,TCM constitution nutritional intervention was carried out for pregnant women in the intervention group,and routine guidance and healthy dietary education was carried out in the control group.The incidence of GDM in the two groups was compared at 24-28 weeks of pregnancy,and the relationship between early pregnancy nutritional intervention combined with TCM constitution and the risk of GDM was analysed in subgroups using logistic regression and likelihood ratio test.The dietary situation,biochemical in-dexes and delivery outcomes after the intervention were compared at 32-36 weeks of pregnancy.Results:①The incidence of GDM in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group(14.09％vs.23.49％,P＜0.05).The effect of the TCM constitution based nutritional intervention on the risk probability of GDM was statistically significant only among pregnant women with different ranges of gestational weight gain(GWG)(P=0.018).Among them,pregnant women with GWG lower than the recommended range had a reduced risk of GDM after intervention(OR 0.27,95％Cl 0.10-0.68,P=0.008).② After intervention,the evaluation index of di-etary balance index of pregnant women in the intervention group was better than that of the control group(P＜0.05),and the intake of cereals and potatoes,vegetables,and water of pregnant women in late pregnancy in the intervention group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).③The levels of triglycerides,total choles-terol,low-density lipoprotein,glycated haemoglobin,uric acid and creatinine of pregnant women in the intervention group were lower than those of the control group in late pregnancy(P＜0.05).GWG,gestational age at delivery,the rate of low-birth-weight,and the neonatal 1-minute Apgar scores were all better than those of the control group(P＜0.05.Conclusions:Nutritional interventions in early pregnancy combined with TCM constitution can sig-nificantly reduce the incidence of GDM in high-risk pregnant women and the chances of low-birth-weight babies.Obstetrics outpatient clinics can actively develop extensive collaboration with TCM and clinical nutrition depart-ments to reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus.
