Objective: To investigate the barrier membrane fixation performance and enhanced guided bone regeneration (GBR) capability of a thermosensitive adhesive containing bioactive glass nanoparticles in order to provide a novel solution for membrane fixation during GBR procedures. Methods: M2NP@BGN (methoxyethyl acrylate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide-co-protocatechuic acid@Bioactive glass nanoparticle), a thermosensitive adhesive, was synthesized via free radical polymerization by compositing methoxyethyl acrylate, N-isopropylacrylamide, and protocatechuic acid into a basic adhesive that was modified with bioactive glass nanoparticle (BGN). The successful fabrication of basic adhesive M2NP was characterized by attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The thermosensitive adhesive M2NP@BGN (BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and a rheometer. By adjusting the BGN concentration (0.1 mg/mL, 0.5 mg/mL, 1 mg/mL, and 2 mg/mL), the adhesive and mechanical strengths were investigated with a universal testing machine. Biocompatibility was evaluated with a cell counting kit-8 assay and hemolysis test to identify the optimal formulation. The optimal material’s extract was co-cultured with mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and its osteogenic activity was examined in vitro by quantitative real-time PCR, alkaline phosphatase, and alizarin red S staining. The rat mandibular defect model was established, filled with bone graft, and divided into 3 groups based on membrane fixation method: M2NP@BGN (BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL) fixation group (M2NP@BGN), titanium nail fixation group (Nail), and unfixed control group (Negative). Bone regeneration was analyzed after 8 weeks by micro computed tomography and histological staining. Results: M2NP@BGN (BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL) was successfully synthesized and demonstrated rapid gelation under warm, humid conditions. The adhesive with a BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL exhibited the highest adhesive strength (P < 0.001) and significantly enhanced mechanical strength (P < 0.001) under 37℃ wet conditions. All formulations showed excellent biocompatibility, with cell viability > 80% and hemolysis ratio < 5%. M2NP@BGN (BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL) significantly upregulated the expression of Runx2 and Col I (P < 0.001) and enhanced the activity of osteogenic differentiation markers (P < 0.05). In the animal model, the M2NP@BGN group (BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL) achieved significantly higher bone volume fraction and better bone maturity compared to the negative and nail groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion M2NP@BGN (BGN concentration of 1 mg/mL) combines excellent wet adhesion with potent osteogenic activity, enhances the bone augmentation efficacy of membranes, and presents a novel fixation strategy with significant clinical translation potential for GBR therapy.

[Objective] To retrospectively analyze the detection results of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) unqualified repeat blood donors in Guangzhou, so as to provide evidence for further expanding the repeat blood donor pool, reducing the rate of blood discarding and improving the qualified rate of blood test. [Methods] Blood donors with unqualified ALT in Guangzhou Blood Center from January 2018 to April 2024 were selected as the research objects. The past blood donation and population characteristics were analyzed according to the number of blood donations and ALT unqualified times. [Results] Among repeat blood donors with previous ALT disqualification, 99.5% to 99.7% did not have reactive markers for transfusion-transmitted diseases (TTD), which was higher than the rate among first-time blood donors with unqualified ALT (95.8%) (P<0.05). The rate of single-item ALT disqualification in repeat blood donors was higher in males than in females (P<0.05); it also varied by age (18-25 years > 26-35 years > 36-45 years > over 45 years) (P<0.05); and by quarter (third and fourth quarters > first and second quarters) (P<0.05). The ALT unqualified rate was significantly higher whole blood donors than that of platelet donors and returning blood donors (P<0.05). The overall ALT level (51.0 U/L), individual ALT level (56.0 U/L) and individual ALT unqualified rate (66.7%) of repeat blood donors with multiple ALT disqualifications were higher than those of repeat blood donors with single-item ALT disqualifications (26.0 U/L, 38.5 U/L, and 33.3%, respectively) (P<0.05). Moreover, as the number of ALT disqualifications increased, the overall level of ALT in repeat blood donors also increased (P<0.05), and the average level of individual ALT and individual ALT unqualified ratio tended to increase. Repeat blood donors with frequent ALT disqualifications had higher ALT levels (69.0 U/L). [Conclusion] The ALT unqualified rates of repeat blood donors were mostly non-specific elevation without TTD. Repeat blood donors with multiple ALT disqualifications tend to have continuous high ALT. Moreover, and with the increase of ALT disqualifications times, the overall ALT levels the average individual ALT levels and individual ALT unqualified rates showed an increasing trend.

[Objective] To analyze the influence of the cycle length of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) double reagent positive samples collected from voluntary blood donors in Guangzhou on the detection results. [Methods] A total of 127 044 blood samples from voluntary blood donors at Guangzhou Blood Center from August 10 to December 9, 2023 were selected. Two ELISA reagents were used for HBsAg detection, and samples with HBsAg double reagent positive and S/CO values<10 were tested continuously for 7 days to observe the changes in their S/CO values. [Results] A total of 505 HBsAg double reagent positive samples were detected, of which 52 had S/CO values less than 10. After 7 consecutive days of uninterrupted testing, the S/CO values of Wantai (median 5 decreased to 3) and Xinchuang (median 5 decreased to 3) showed an overall downward trend, and the HBsAg missed detection rate showed an upward trend (from 0 on the first day to 1/10 000 on the seventh day). A total of 13 cases had negative double reagent test results within the 7-day testing cycle. [Conclusion] With the extension of the detection cycle, the S/CO value of HBsAg detection shows a downward trend, and the missed detection rate of HBsAg shows an upward trend. Samples used for HBsAg detection should be tested promptly after sampling to improve the quality of blood testing.

Cardiovascular disease risk communication is an important tool to help risk individuals understand risk information and guide them to improve their health behaviors.Effective cardiovascular disease risk communication by nurses,who are the subjects of risk communication,is essential to reduce the growing burden of cardiovascular disease and the prevalence of cardiovascular disease.This article provides a 3-aspect overview of the concept and development of health risk communication,factors influencing cardiovascular disease risk communication,and recommendations for its development.It is suggested that when nursing staff carry out CVD risk communication,they should fully consider the actual situation and preference of the communication target and design a personalized risk communication program,to provide references for clinical nursing practice.

Starting from the inheritance and development of Chinese philosophy of life and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) wisdom through the Chinese narrative medicine practice, this paper discussed the inheritance and correspondence relationship between the text reading ability in Chinese narrative medicine practice and the "four diagnostic" in TCM wisdom, narrative regulation and the "mind-body philosophy" in TCM, as well as the narrative wisdom and the "Tao produces one" in the Chinese philosophy of life. By analyzing the stories of contemporary doctors’ practice of narrative wisdom, this paper clarified that the Chinese narrative medicine system is a new model of medical education and clinical practice constructed by absorbing the essence elements of Chinese traditional life wisdom and TCM culture, and integrating the concept of western narrative medicine. It advocated for Chinese scholars to actively build the discipline of "narrative traditional Chinese medicine", constantly translate and introduce the achievements to foreign countries, and create a good narrative ecology of TCM.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of dexmedetomidine on painless gastroenteroscopy in the patients recovered from COVID-19.Methods:Eighty patients of either sex, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index <30 kg/m 2, undergoing elective painless gastroenteroscopy, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠor Ⅱ, within 2nd to 7th weeks after diagnosis of COVID-19, who had a negative nucleic acid test or antigen test at present and presented with no respiratory symptoms in our hospital from January to February 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: dexmedetomidine group (group D) and control group (group C). Sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg was intravenously injected in two groups. Dexmedetomidine 0.2 μg/kg was intravenously injected in group D, and the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. Propofol 1.5-2.0 mg/kg was intravenously injected after 2-3 min observation, and propofol 5-7 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused to maintain sedation during operation. The development of bucking and hypoxemia during operation, total consumption of propofol, emergence time, time of hospital discharge, development of bradycardia and hypotension during operation, and scores for patients′ and endoscopic physicians′ satisfaction with anesthesia were recorded. Results:Compared with group C, the incidence of bucking and hypoxemia was significantly decreased, scores for endoscopic physicians′ satisfaction with anesthesia were increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the other parameters in group D ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Low-dose dexmedetomidine can reduce the risk of bucking and hypoxemia during operation and raise the quality of anesthesia in the patients recovered from COVID-19 undergoing painless gastroenteroscopy.

Objective We performed a diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) study to explore the value of mode of anisotropy (MO) and other DTI-derived indices in assessing white matter fiber damage with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease (AD) patients. Methods This study was a prospective study. From February 2015 to February 2018, 33 patients with mild to moderate AD according to criteria were prospectively recruited as AD group at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Twenty healthy age-, sex-matched volunteers were recruited as normoal conctrast (NC) group. All subjects were performed by conventional brain MRI and DTI scans. The MO, anisotropic fraction (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD) and axial diffusivity (AxD) of white matter fibers were obtained from DTI images after TBSS post-processing. The statistical analyses of DTI indices between AD group and NC group were carried out in Functional MRI Software Library software. Results As compared with NC group, we found 1 cluster with significant decrease FA and increase RD in AD group, the affected fibers involving bilateral anterior thalamic radiation, corticospinal tract, cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, uncinated fasciculus, superior longitudinal fasciculus (P<0.05). The MD value increase(P<0.1) was found to coincide with the decrease of FA and the increase of RD, while no significant increase or decrease in P<0.05. Three clusters of MO increases (P<0.05) accompanying with increases of AxD were found in left anterior limb of internal capsule, bilateral posterior limb of internal capsule, posterior forceps, left centrum semiovale and parietal lobe. Two clusters of MO decreases (P<0.05) accompanying with decreases of FA and increases of RD were found in fornix, forceps, external capsule, centrum semiovale and left frontal lobe. Conclusions The combination of MO with DTI routine tensor indices (FA, RD, MD, AxD) can further reveal the microstructural damage of white matter fibers in AD, especially to crossing-fibers. The abnormalities of MO combined with FA, RD and MD reveal the degeneration of both bundles of crossing-fibers,and the abnormalities of MO combined with AxD reveal that the white matter damage was mainly caused by axon damage of one bundle of cross fibers.

Objective: To analyze and summarize the ultrasonographic features of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLHCC). Methods: The ultrasound images were retrospectively analyzed in 23 FLHCC cases which were confirmed by pathology, including the size, echogenicity, boundary and other features on gray scale ultrasound, color Doppler flow imaging and enhancement patterns on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Results: Twenty-three patients had 23 lesions of FLHCC. The average age was (40.0±17.1) (15-77) years old and among them 3 cases had liver cirrhosis(13.0%). The maximum diameter of FLHCC lesions was 2.5-16.7 cm and the average was (7.2±4.3)cm. On gray scale ultrasound, 82.6% (19/23) lesions were hypoechoic, 78.3% (18/23) lesions showed cord-like or sheet-like hyperechoic area and 47.8% (11/23) lesions displayed strip-like echogenic attenuation in the center, with calcification in 17.4% (4/23) lesions. There were 91.3% (21/23) lesions showed peripheral and internal rich color flow signals on color Doppler flow imaging and 60.9% (14/23) with subcapsular thick blood vessels. All 8 FLHCC lesions displayed early and hyper-enhancement in the arterial phase and wash-out in the portal and delayed phases on CEUS. Internal nonenhanced scar-like area was appeared in all lesions on CEUS. Conclusions Patients with FLHCC are mostly young and few with liver cirrhosis. Ultrasonographic features are characterized by relatively large-sized mass with internal acoustic attenuation or calcification on gray scale ultrasound and hypervascularity with central scar on CEUS.

Objective To discuss the influence of the change in ceiling-mounted shield positions on the radiation doses to the first and second operators during percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods In this study,the entrance surface dose (ESD) rates were measured for the first and second operators at 125 cm and 155 cm height on different ceiling-mounted shield positions separately through transradial approach.Measurements were repeated 20 times for each position and T test was used for statistical analysis of dose rate arithmetic mean values.Results For the first operator,the effective dose values were obtained only on left foot position.The ESD rate values at ceiling-mounted shield position close to patient were higher than that close to operators (t125 =46.9,t155 =4.1,P ＜0.05).For the second operator,the ESD rate values on his foot position,right foot position,left anterior oblique position and right anterior oblique position at ceiling-mounted shield position close to the operator,were higher than that close to the patient separately (t125 =11.9,24.4,11.2,2.7,t155 =16.1,2.8,14.4,28.8,P ＜ 0.05).The ESD rate values on head position,left foot position,left head position at ceiling-mounted shield position close to the operator,were lower than that close to the patient (t125 =-4.3,-2.4,-80.4,t155 =-10.2,-6.7,-152.6,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The change in the ceiling-mounted shield positions gave rise to change in radiation dose to the operators.The changes in radiation doses caused by the changes in ceiling-mounted shield positions are different in various angiographic positions.Ceiling-mounted shield should be used in a reasonable way in agreement with different positions in percutaneous coronary intervention so as to effectively reduce operators radiation dose.

Objective To investigate the content of cadmium in shellfish in Guangdong Province and make dietary exposure assessment of cadmium in shellfish.Methods The shellfish samples were collected from Pearl River Delta,Eastern and Western Guangdong Province using random sampling method.Point assessment method was used to evaluate the exposure of dietary cadmium intake from shellfish.The risk of dietary cadmium exposure from shellfish were evaluated.Results Three hundred and seven samples were included in the analysis.The median concentration of cadmium in shellfish was 0.630 mg/kg and the exceeding standard rate was 23.8％ (73/307).The exceeding standard rates in Eastern Guangdong,Western Guangdong and Pearl River Delta were 19.4％ (13/67),23.5％ (16/68),and 25.6％ (44/172),respectively.The corresponding median concentration of cadmium were 0.530,0.806 and 0.853 mg/kg,and the difference was not statistically significant (x2 =0.94,P ＞ 0.05).The average (P50) and high level (P97.5) daily intake of cadmium from shellfish by the total survey population was 0.957 μg/d,and 4.511 μg/d,respectively.The monthly intake of cadmium associated with shellfish calculated from average and P97.5 exposure doses accounted for 1.91％ and 9.02％ of PTMI,respectively.Conclusion The cadmium content of some shellfish in Guangdong Province exceeded the standard.However,the cadmium intake from shellfish by the survey population was not high.
