Patients with sudden deafness encounter greater psychological challenges and communication barriers after experiencing sudden hearing loss, and traditional medical models often fail to adequately address their unique needs. This paper analyzed the current situation of emotional and behavioral changes in patients with sudden deafness, and the gap between their expectations and the reality of medical care. From the perspective of narrative medicine, the theory and characteristics of the reconstruction of the doctor-patient relationships in patients with sudden deafness were explored. The results showed that narrative medicine can enhance patients’ emotional resonance and understanding, improve the efficiency and quality of doctor-patient communication, promote the formulation of personalized treatment plans, and enhance treatment adherence and satisfaction. Based on these results, strategies and pathways for the reconstruction of doctor-patient relationships for patients with sudden deafness were proposed, including building empathetic bridges and tapping into mechanisms of emotional resonance within narrative medicine; optimizing communication strategies and promoting the application of narrative techniques in doctor-patient dialogues; connecting narrative pathways and advocating the exploration of stories and strategies in personalized treatments; as well as facilitating treatment adherence and making full use of the psychodynamic effects of narrative medicine. Narrative medicine, as a patient-centered medical practice, can effectively promote the reconstruction of doctor-patient relationships, enhance treatment effectiveness, and offer a more humane treatment experience for patients.

Objective:To develop a health behavior guidance program for stroke rehabilitation patients based on the adaptive leadership framework (ALF) .Methods:Relevant stroke health behavior guidelines were systematically retrieved, screened, included, and recommendations extracted from domestic and international websites. The initial draft of the health behavior guidance program for stroke rehabilitation patients was developed in light of the ALF. From January to March 2022, the draft was refined through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, resulting in the finalized health behavior guidance program.Results:A total of 10 guidelines were included, and 73 guideline recommendations were extracted. These recommendations were categorized into six dimensions and 25 specific items. In both rounds of expert consultation, 15 questionnaires were distributed and all were returned, yielding an effective recovery rate of 100.00%, with an expert authority coefficient greater than 0.8. Based on expert feedback and group discussions, the final program included eight dimensions and 31 items, adding sleep management and regular health consultations to the original six dimensions.Conclusions:The health behavior guidance program for stroke rehabilitation patients, based on the ALF, introduces a new perspective on nursing by reasonably dividing adaptive and technical problems. This approach aligns with clinical practice in China, providing scientific and practical value for promoting health behaviors and offering a new perspective for health education in stroke patients.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes in monoamine oxidase A(MAOA)and forkhead box A1(FOXA1)levels during neuroendocrine differentiation(NED)in prostate cancer,providing new strategies for the treatment of neuroendocrine prostate cancer.Methods Cell models and mouse transplantation models of NED were established through long-term sustained induction with enzalutamide(ENZ).Dynamic expression of MAOA and FOXA1 in NED was detected by Western Blot and Real-time PCR.GEO database data were selected to analyze the dynamic trends in MAOA and FOXA1 levels in multiple NED models.We constructed a mouse transplantation model of human prostate cancer cell lines and analyzed the dynamic expression of MAOA and FOXA1 in the in vivo NED model by immunohistochemistry.MAOA expression was disrupted with lentiviral transfection,and the impact on FOXA1 was detected.Results Both MAOA and FOXA1 concentrations showed dynamic characteristics,increasing and then decreasing during the NED process.Knockdown of MAOA in prostate cancer cells led to decreased expression of FOXA1.This MAOA may play different roles at different stages of NED by acting through FOXA1.Conclusions Both MAOA and FOXA1 levels showed increasing,then decreasing,trends during NED.The expression of MAOA affected the level of FOXA1,and MAOA/FOXA1 may play a dynamic regulatory role in the NED process.

convalescents, and to screen for broad-spectrum neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 RBD. Methods Using biotinylated RBD as a molecular probe, flow cytometry was employed to perform single-cell sorting of B cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of convalescents. The obtained B cells were lysed and subjected to reverse transcription, followed by nested PCR amplification of the heavy and light chains of antibodies was conducted using random primers. The amplified products were cloned into corresponding expression vectors, and the respective matched heavy-light chain plasmids were co-transfected into 293F cells for expression. Monoclonal antibodies were then purified using Protein A column chromatography. Neutralization experiments were conducted with the wild-type (WT) pseudovirus, and antibodies with IC50<0.1 μg/mL were selected for further testing of neutralizing breadth and potency against the wild-type (WT), Beta variant (B.1.351), Delta variant (B.1.617.2), and currently prevalent pseudovirus strains (XBB, BA.5, BF.7). Results A total of 21 RBD-specific monoclonal B cells were obtained from two recovered patients, resulting in the isolation of 13 pairs of antibody light/heavy chains. Nine antibodies were successfully expressed, with P1-A1, P1-B6, and P1-B9 exhibiting IC50 values below 0.1 μg/mL against the pseudovirus of the wild-type strain (WT). Specifically, P1-B6 effectively neutralized the wild-type strain (WT), Beta variant (B.1.351), and Delta variant (B.1.617.2), with IC50 values reaching 0.01 μg/mL. P1-B9 demonstrated effective neutralization against the wild-type strain (WT), Beta variant (B.1.351), Delta variant (B.1.617.2), and Gamma variant (P.1) pseudoviruses, with IC50 values of 0.42 μg/mL, 0.63 μg/mL, 0.28 μg/mL, and 2.50 μg/mL, respectively. Additionally, P1-B6 exhibited good neutralization against BA.5 and BF.7 pseudoviruses, with IC50 values of 0.06 μg/mL and 0.09 μg/mL, respectively. Conclusions Infection with the SARS-CoV-2 WT strain can induce the generation of neutralizing antibodies with broad-spectrum activity. Generating these broadly neutralizing antibodies does not require an excessively high somatic hypermutation. The obtained antibodies can be used as candidates for SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis and prevention.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of color Doppler ultrasound parameters for fetal growth restriction (FGR) induced by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in high-altitude regions. Methods Pregnant women with gestational hypertension who were treated between July 2020 and June 2022 at the Affiliated Hospital of Qinghai University (with altitude of 2, 300 meters, were divided into group A1 with 19 cases and group A2 with 51 cases according to occurrence of FGR), Yushu People's Hospital (with altitude of 3, 700 meters, were divided into group B1 with 25 cases and group B2 with 47 cases according to occurrence of FGR), and Civil Aviation Clinical Medical College of Peking University (plain region, control group with 71 cases) were enrolled in this study. All pregnant women in each group underwent fetal color Doppler ultrasound examination of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and umbilical artery (UA) blood flow parameters, including pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), systolic/diastolic ratio (S/D), peak systolicvelocity (PSV), and cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) at 28 weeks of gestation were detected. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors for FGR in pregnant women with gestational hypertension. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the predictive value of color Doppler parametersfor FGR. Results The UA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) of the fetuses in groups A1, A2, B1, and B2 were significantly higher than those in the control group, while the MCA blood flow parameters (PI, RI, S/D, PSV) and CPR were significantly lower (

Objective:To summarize the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal follow-up of 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletion syndrome (Burnside-Butler syndrome, BBS), and provide a reference for the management of BBS.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 27 singleton pregnancies with fetal BBS that were prenatally diagnosed by single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) array of amniotic fluid in Wuxi Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from January 2017 to September 2021. Prenatal diagnosis indications, serological screening, prenatal ultrasound features, SNP array results, and postnatal growth and development were described and summarized.Results:(1) Of the 27 cases, the indications of prenatal diagnosis in 14 cases were abnormal sonographic findings, including eight cases with increased nuchal translucency, two with cleft lip and palate/alveolar process cleft, one with fetal multiple joint contracture syndrome, one with fetal right diaphragmatic hernia and single umbilical artery, one with suspected fetal duodenal atresia and one with nasal bone absence. Other indications included high risk of Down syndrome by serological screening in six cases, history of adverse pregnancy in six cases, and advanced age in one case. (2) Karyotyping of amniotic fluid in these 27 BBS fetuses showed normal results and SNP array indicated the deletion range of 311.8-855.3 kb. Parental verification of 23 cases confirmed one was a new mutation, seven were inherited from the father and 15 from the mother. (3) Five pregnancies were terminated in the second trimester and the remaining 22 cases were live births. (4) The median follow-up of the 22 children was 1 year 8 months (range 0.5 months to 4 years 3 months), which found low body weight and/or growth retardation in six cases, low body weight with language retardation in one case, low body weight with growth retardation and hyperactive behavior in one case, language retardation with left ear appendage in one case, cleft palate accompanied by duodenum/cleft lip and alveolar cleft in two cases without abnormal development after surgical treatment, and no abnormal growth in the remaining 11 cases.Conclusion:For BBS fetuses, the proportion of ultrasound abnormalities is high but with a low specificity in prenatal diagnosis, and the risk of abnormal postnatal growth and development/behavior is high, which requires continuous monitoring.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between the dynamic changes of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow after umbilical cord milking (UCM)detected and feeding tolerance in premature infants.Methods:This was a prospective study a total of 88 premature infants delivered in Shanghai Jiading Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital from June 2018 to February 2020 were randomly divided into UCM group(45 cases) and early cord clamping group (ECC group, 43 cases). SMA blood flow indexes 15 min before the first feeding (prefeed) and 60 min after the first feeding (post-feed) were detected using the GE Voluson 730 Ultrasound Machine, including the peak systolic velocity (PSV), time-averaged mean velocity (TAMV), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI). The gestational age, birth weight, the weight at discharge, SMA blood flow indexes, time to achieve enteral nutrition, length of stay and incidence of complications between the two groups were analyzed using t test, Chi- square test or Fisher′ s exact test. Results:(1)There were no significant differences in the gestational age, birth weight, the mother′s hemoglobin before deliver, and the incidence of complications between UCM group and ECC group (all P>0.05). (2) Except for RI, all SMA blood flow indexes were higher in UCM group than those of ECC group.However, only prefeed TAMV[(24.74±11.47) cm/s vs.(20.24±7.71) cm/s], post-feed TAMV[(42.11±15.74 )cm/s vs.(28.31±9.99) cm/s] and TAMV change before and after feeding [(13.89-20.86) cm/s vs.(5.31-10.82) cm/s]were detected to be significantly higher in UCM group than those of ECC group (all P<0.05). (3) Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that the gestational age, birth weight, PSV elevation and PI reduction were negatively correlated with the length of adequate feeding (all P<0.05). (4) The time to achieve enteral nutrition[(11.75±7.36) d vs.(13.38±8.12) d] and the incidence of feeding intolerance [13.3% (6/45 cases) vs.20.9%(9/43 cases)] were lower in UCM group than those of ECC group, although no significant differences were detected (all P>0.05). Conclusions:UCM increases the hemoglobin level in premature infants, which is beneficial to feeding tolerance of premature infants by improving SMA blood flow.
