Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

Objective:To explore the impact of general self-efficacy on the work immersion experience and the mediating effect of resilience in intern nursing students, so as to provide a basis for the development of interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 210 intern nursing students in the Shandong Provincial Third Hospital from January to September 2024 for the study. Nursing students were surveyed using the General Information Questionnaire, Work Immersion Experience Scale, Medical Staff Resilience Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale. The mediating effects test was performed using the Process plug-in in SPSS 26.0.Results:A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 204 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 97.14%. The total scores of the Work Immersion Experience Scale, Medical Staff Resilience Scale, and General Self-Efficacy Scale were (107.33±17.06) , (63.12±12.96) and (25.65±4.60) , respectively. General self-efficacy was a positive predictor of the work immersion experience ( β=0.321) of intern nursing students. Resilience partially mediated the effect between general self-efficacy and the work immersion experience of intern nursing students, with an effect size of 0.126 and a 95% confidence interval of (0.050, 0.211) , which accounted for 28.19% (0.126/0.447) of the total effect. Conclusions:Intern nursing students with high general self-efficacy have good work immersion experiences, and resilience partially mediates the effect between self-efficacy and work immersion experiences. Nursing educators and administrators can improve the work immersion experience of intern nursing students by designing targeted training courses, providing adequate practice opportunities, and conducting psychotherapy to enhance their self-efficacy and resilience.

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease（NIID）is a rare hereditary neurodegenerative disorder that can affect multiple systems. However，it is uncommon for urinary dysfunction to be the initial symptom. This article reports five cases. The five patients began to experience voiding dysfunction such as frequent urination，weak urination，and incomplete urination at the mean ages of 55.4（47 - 65）years old. Four months to twelve years after urinary onset，neurological symptoms such as headache，memory decline，transient loss of consciousness，and unsteady gait began to appear. Four of the five cases had a family history. Brain MRI revealed the “ribbon sign” or “crest sign” in all cases. Skin biopsy revealed eosinophilic inclusions in the cell nuclei，and NOTCH2NLC gene testing identified abnormal GGC mutations. Three of the five patients underwent cystostomy due to secondary hydronephrosis，while the other two received no special treatment. After a follow-up of 18 to 35 months since diagnosis，the patients who underwent cystostomy had normal renal function. Neurological symptoms in all five patients worsened to varying degrees.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiao′er Huangjin Zhike Granules in the treatment of cough caused by acute bronchitis in children, which is defined in TCM terms as a syndrome of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung.Methods:This was a block-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter clinical trial.From January 2022 to September 2023, 359 children aged 3 to 7 years old diagnosed as acute bronchitis (lung-obstructing phlegm-heat syndrome) were enrolled from 21 participating hospitals and randomly assigned to the experimental group and placebo group in a 3︰1 ratio, and respectively treated with Xiao′er Huangjin Zhike Granules and its matching placebo.Cough resolution/general resolution rate after 7 days of treatment was used as the primary efficacy outcome for both groups.Results:(1)On the seventh day of treatment, the rate of cough disappearance/basically disappearance in the experimental group and placebo group were 73.95% and 57.61% retrospectively, which had statistically significance ( P=0.001).(2)After 7 days of treatment, the median duration of cough disappearance/basic disappearance were 5 days and 6 days in the two groups , with a statistically significant difference ( P=0.006).The area under the curve of cough symptom severity time was 7.20 ± 3.79 in the experimental group and 8.20±4.42 in the placebo group.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P=0.039).(3) After 7 days of treatment, the difference between TCM syndrome score and baseline was -16.0 (-20.0, -15.0) points in the experimental group and -15.0 (-18.0, -12.0) points in the placebo group, with significant difference between the two groups ( P=0.004).In the experimental group, the clinical control rate, the markedly effective rate, the effective rate and the ineffective rate were 49.04%, 28.35%, 16.48% and 6.13% severally; and in the placebo group, the clinical control rate, the markedly effective rate, the effective rate and the ineffective rate were 38.04%, 26.09%, 29.35%, and 6.52% separately, which had statistically significant ( P=0.014).(4) There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse events or adverse reactions during the trial between both groups.Moreover, while adverse reactions in the form of vomiting and diarrhea were occasionally reported, no serious drug-related adverse event or adverse reaction was reported.(5)The tested drug provided good treatment compliance, showing no statistically significant difference from the placebo in terms of compliance rate. Conclusions:Based on the above findings, it can be concluded that Xiao′er Huangjin Zhike Granules provides good safety, efficacy, and treatment compliance in the treatment of cough caused by acute bronchitis, and lung-obstructing phlegm-heat syndrome, in children.

Objective:To explore the effect of multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening in diabetic foot.Methods:From January to December 2022, 138 patients with diabetic foot were selected from Xinxiang Central Hospital by convenience sampling. The patients were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group, with 69 cases in each group. Control group implemented routine follow-up management of diabetic foot, and observation group carried out multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening on the basis of control group, and the intervention lasted for six months. The progress of Wagner grading of diabetic foot and foot self-care were compared between the two groups.Results:After intervention, the number of Wagner grading progression patients in observation group and control group was four cases (5.80%) and 10 cases (14.49%), respectively. The number of progression patients in observation group was less than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=4.161, P=0.041). The total score and dimension scores of diabetic foot self-management in the two groups after the intervention were higher than those before the intervention, but only the scores of observation group before and after the intervention were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After intervention, the total score and dimension scores of diabetic foot self-management in observation group were higher than those in control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Multidisciplinary management combined with 60-second high-risk diabetic foot screening can effectively delay the progress of diabetic foot and improve patients' foot self-care.

Background At present, the practice of pulmonary rehabilitation for pneumoconiosis in China is in a primary stage. The basis for formulating an individualized comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation plan is still insufficient, which is one of the factors limiting the development of community-level rehabilitation work. Objective To formulate an exercise prescription based on maximum heart rate measured by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), conduct an individualized comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program with the exercise prescription for patients with stable pneumoconiosis, and evaluate its role in improving exercise endurance and quality of life, thus provide a basis for the application and promotion of pulmonary rehabilitation. Methods A total of 68 patients were recruited from the Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital of Jinneng Holding Coal Industry Group Co., Ltd. from April to August 2022 , and were divided into an intervention group and a control group by random number table method, with 34 cases in each group. All the pneumoconiosis patients participated in a baseline test. The control group was given routine drug treatment, while the intervention group received multidisciplinary comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation treatment on the basis of routine drug treatment, including health education, breathing training, exercise training, nutrition guidance, psychological intervention, and sleep management, whose exercise intensity was determined according to the maximum heart rate provided by CPET. The rehabilitation training lasted for 24 weeks. Patients were evaluated at registration and the end of study respectively. CPET was used to measure peak oxygen uptake per kilogram (pVO₂/kg), anaerobic threshold (AT), carbon dioxide equivalent of ventilation (EqCO₂), maximum metabolic equivalent (METs), and maximum work (W_max). The modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Questionnaire (mMRC), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Assessment Test (CAT), and Short Form of Health Survey (SF-36) were used to evaluate the potential effect of the comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation program. Results Among the included 68 patients, 63 patients were having complete data, then 31 cases were assigned in the control group and 32 cases in the interventional group. Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in pVO₂/kg, AT, EqCO₂, METs, or W_max between the two groups (P>0.05). At the end of the trail, the indicators like pVO₂/kg [(19.81±2.38) mL·(min·kg)⁻¹], AT [(14.48±2.33) mL·(min·kg)⁻¹], METs (5.64±0.69), and W_max [(85.25±14) W] of patients in the intervention group were all higher than those [(13.90±2.37) mL·(min·kg)⁻¹, (11.70±1.94) mL·(min kg)⁻¹, (3.97±0.70), and (61.77±14.72) W, respectively] in the control group (P<0.001); there was no significant difference in EqCO₂ between the two groups (P=0.083). Before the trial, there was no significant difference in mMRC, SAS, SDS, PSQI, or CAT scores between the two groups (P>0.05). At the end of the trail, the mMRC score (1.16±0.57), SAS score (27.93±2.12), SDS score (26.48±1.44), PSQI score (1.08±0.88), and CAT score (4.34±3.28) of patients in the intervention group were lower than those [(2.03±0.83), (35.87±6.91), (34.23±6.65), (5.37±3.03), and (13.87±7.53), respectively] in the control group (P<0.001). The SF-36 scores of bodily pain (94.13±10.72), general health (87.50±5.68), vitality (95.31±5.53), mental health (99.88±0.71), and health changes (74.22±4.42) in the intervention group were higher than those [(71.87±32.72), (65.81±15.55), (74.52±16.45), (86.97±16.56), and (29.84±13.50), respectively] in the control group (P<0.001), and no significant difference was found in social functioning and role emotional scores (P>0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation can increase the oxygen intake and exercise endurance of pneumoconiosis patients, ameliorate dyspnea symptoms, elevate psychological state and sleep quality, and improve the quality of life.

Background Currently,the diagnosis of depressive disorder relies on symptomatology,which is greatly influenced by subjective factors such as clinicians' experience.Finding more accurate and reliable quantitative diagnostic methods is currently an urgent problem.Objective To explore the value of Fisher discriminant function based on inflammatory cytokines in the diagnosis of depressive disorder,so as to provide references for clinical diagnosis.Methods A total of 136 patients diagnosed with depressive disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,fifth edition(DSM-5)criteria,who underwent inpatient treatment at Hebei Mental Health Center from April 2020 to November 2020,were enrolled as study group.67 healthy participants matched for age and gender,was recruited during the same period.Serum levels of inflammatory cytokine were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Fisher discriminant model was employed to establish a discriminant function for inflammatory cytokines exhibiting significant statistical differences between study group and control group,which was then validated.Results The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interferon-γ(INF-γ)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were higher in the study group compared with control group,with statistically significant differences(U=9.115,5.239,4.431,5.428,P<0.01).Conversely,the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-10(IL-10)and interleukin-13(IL-13)were lower in the study group compared with control group,with statistically significant differences(U=7.398,7.331,7.614,P<0.01).The retrospective test in Fisher discriminant function achieved a correct discrimination rate of 89.66%,and the cross validation achieved a correct discrimination rate of 88.67%.Conclusion The Fisher discriminant function developed in this study may serve as a valuable auxiliary method in the diagnosis of depressive disorder.
