Objective To investigate the effects of time in range(TIR)and microRNA-2245P(miR-2245P)interac-tions on the susceptibility and severity of diabetic retinopathy(DR)in the target range of glucose.Methods A prospec-tive study was conducted on 259 patients with DR(DR group)and 259 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM group)admitted to the Ophthalmology Department of Yantai Yeda Hospital from April 2022 to June 2024.TIR and miR-2245P were compared between the two groups,and the multivariate Logistic analysis was used to identify the factors associated with DR susceptibility.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of TIR,miR-2245 P,and their combination for DR.The interaction coefficient γ was used to analyze the effect of the interaction between TIR and miR-2245P on DR susceptibility.The Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of TIR and miR-2245P with DR staging.Results The TIR and miR-2245P levels in the DR group were lower than those in the T2DM group(both P＜0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Logit(P)=0.083-0.470 × TIR-0.584 × miR-2245P,high levels of TIR and miR-2245P were independent protective factors of DR susceptibility(all P＜0.05).The areas under the ROC curve(AUC)of TIR,miR-2245P,and their combination for predicting DR were 0.76,0.79,and 0.91,respectively.The AUC of TIR combined with miR-2245P was greater than that of TIR and miR-2245P(both P＜0.05).The interaction analysis showed that the OR values of DR caused by low levels of TIR and miR-2245P alone were 2.05 and 1.92,respectively.The OR value of the interaction between TIR and miR-2245P was 10.69,greater than the prod-uct of OR values of TIR and miR-2245P alone.It indicates that the effect of the interaction of TIR and miR-2245P on suscep-tibility to DR is a super-multiplication model.The interaction coefficient was γ=3.31＞1,indicating a positive relationship of the interaction between the two factors with DR susceptibility.The Spearman correlation analysis showed that TIR and miR-2245P were negatively correlated with DR staging(both P＜0.001).Conclusion Both TIR and miR-2245P are asso-ciated with DR and its severity,and they have interactive effects on DR susceptibility.Combined detection can improve the predictive value of DR.This study provides a new idea and target for the prevention and treatment of DR.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of stenting combined with medication versus medication alone in treating severe extracranial carotid artery stenosis.Methods This prospective,multicenter cohort study enrolled 337 patients with carotid artery stenosis ranging from 70%to 99%.Based on patient preference,they were divided into two groups:a stent combined with medication group(antiplatelet drugs+statins,n=169)and a medication-only group(n=168).The study assessed perioperative safety and the incidence of recurrent cerebrovascular events related to the target vessel within one year.Results The success rate of the stent combined with medication group was 100%.There was one case of hyperperfusion-related intracranial hemorrhage during the perioperative period(1/169)The patient recovered well after medical treatment.There was no statistically significant difference in perioperative complications between the two groups(P=0.318).During the 1-year follow-up,the stent combined with medication group(3/169)had a significantly lower incidence of recurrent ischemic stroke compared to the medication-only group(15/168),with a statistically significant difference(P=0.003).Univariate analysis showed that gender(χ2=4.372,P=0.037),stenosis rate≥85%(χ2=10.738,P=0.001),and non-stent treatment(χ2=7.171,P=0.007)were risk factors for recurrent stroke.However,the number of recurrent ischemic strokes in females was relatively small and after adjusting the chi-square test,the difference was not statistically significant(P=0.075).Logistic regression analysis revealed that stenosis rate≥85%(OR=115.925,95%CI:2.077-122.102,P=0.008)and non-stent treatment(OR=0.158,95%CI:0.044-0.564,P=0.004)were independent risk factors for recurrent cerebrovascular events within one year.Conclusions In patients with≥85%extracranial carotid artery stenosis,stenting combined with medication reduces recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular events within 1 year.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of clinical nurses'clinical decision-making ability,and provide a reference and evidence for improving and enhancing the correct clinical decision-making ability of clinical nurses.Methods:A total of 300 clinical nurses in Shaanxi Province were selected as the research subjects by using the convenience sampling method.The General Information Questionnaire,Clinical Decision-Making Scale,and Comprehensive Decision-Making Style Scale were used to conduct the investigation and study.The influencing factors of clinical nurses'clinical decision-making ability were analyzed by using single-factor analysis and multivariate linear regression.Results:The total score of clinical nurses'clinical decision-making ability was(163.85±13.78)points,reaching the high-level standard of clinical decision-making ability(146.68-200.00)points.The results of Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the total score and the score of each dimension of clinical decision-making ability and the score of rational decision-making style(P<0.05).The score of the dimension of searching for information or new information was only negatively correlated with the score of intuitive-impulsive decision-making style(P<0.05).Avoidant decision-making style was negatively correlated with the scores of seeking information or new information,clarifying goals and values,the total score of clinical decision-making ability,and the dimensions of finding alternative solutions(P<0.05).The results of multiple linear regression showed that rational decision-making style can positively affect clinical nurses'clinical decision-making ability,while avoidance decision-making style can negatively affect it.Conclusion:The clinical nurses'clinical decision-making ability has been maintained at a relatively constant high level,and it is greatly influenced by rational and avoidant decision-making styles.Medical managers need to organize targeted training activities and other measures to promote the construction of clinical nurses'rational decision-making style and minimize the influence of avoidant decision-making style,thus improving the clinical nurses'clinical decision-making ability.

Objective:To investigate the standardization construction of nursing information terminologies in Guizhou Province and provide reference for constructing a standard nursing terminology system in Guizhou Province.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 153 nursing managers from hospitals at all levels in Guizhou Province were selected as the research objects in June, 2021. The research objects were surveyed using a self-developed survey questionnaire on the current status of standardized terminology construction for hospital nursing information. The questionnaire consisted of two parts. The first part was the basic information of the hospital and the general information of the person in charge of nursing information. The second part was the construction of standardized terminology for nursing information, including three dimensions, such as the basic dataset of nursing electronic medical records, the shared document of nursing electronic medical records and the construction of nursing information terminologies interconnection. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of standardized construction of nursing information terminologies. A total of 153 questionnaires were distributed in this study and 148 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.73% (148/153) .Results:The total score of the survey questionnaire on the standardization of nursing information terminologies construction in 148 hospitals in Guizhou Province was (102.22±24.42) . The basic dataset dimension score of nursing electronic medical records was (60.35±13.32) , the shared document dimension score of nursing electronic medical records was (27.78±19.08) and the dimension score of nursing terminology interconnection construction was (14.08±2.71) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that hospital level and whether nursing managers had received terminology training were the influencing factors for the score of hospital nursing information standardization terminology construction ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The standardization construction of nursing information terminologies in medical institutions in Guizhou Province is still at the primary level of information construction. The insufficient attention paid by secondary hospital managers to the standardization construction of nursing information terminologies and the lack of understanding of standardized nursing terminology by nursing information managers are important influencing factors.

Objective:To analyze the value of minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production slope (VE/VCO 2 slope) combined with peak systolic blood pressure (SBP) in predicting prognosis for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods:A total of 170 patients with CHF who visited the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University and completed cardiopulmonary exercise test from March 2007 to December 2018 were enrolled in the study. The clinical data, cardiopulmonary exercise testing results and follow-up information of patients were collected to explore the predictors of all-cause mortality in patients with CHF.Results:The median follow-up time was 647 (182-1 764) days. All-cause death occurred in 34 patients. Compared with surviving patients, the proportion of diabetes and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ACEI/ARB) use in fatal patients was significantly higher ( P<0.01). The VE/VCO 2 slope and peak SBP*VE/VCO 2 in the fatal patients were significantly higher, and the peak oxygen consumption (peak VO 2) was lower than those in the surviving patients ( P<0.01). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of VE/VCO 2 slope and peak SBP*VE/VCO 2 in predicting all-cause mortality in patients with CHF were 0.648 ( P=0.008) and 0.681 ( P=0.001), respectively; the optimal thresholds were >40.95 ( P=0.008) and > 5 423.50 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa, P=0.006), the sensitivity was 0.559 and 0.588, and the specificity was 0.728 and 0.735, respectively. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, gender, diabetes and ACEI/ARB use, VE/VCO 2 slope ( HR=2.12, P=0.036) and peak SBP*VE/VCO 2 ( HR=2.42, P=0.016) were independent risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with CHF. Conclusion:Compared to the traditional index VE/VCO 2 slope, a novel index peak SBP* VE/VCO 2 provides a relatively better predictive value for all-cause death of CHF patients.

Objective To quantify the correlation between isometric and isokinetic tests of core muscles during trunk rotation. Methods The strength of the core muscles of 38 healthy males was measured isometrically and isokinetically ( at 60°/s) during trunk rotation.The left and right peak rotation torque ( LPT,RPT) and the ratio of left to right torque (L/R) were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis and paired t-tests. Results The subjects' LPTs and RPTs were positively correlated ( rL =0.644,P ≤ 0.01 ;rR =0.566,P≤0.01 ) There were significant differences in the L/R ratios determined using the two tests (r=0.663,P≤0.01 ).The regression equations predicting LPT and RPT were yL =22.330 + 0.937x and yR =32.752 +0.847x,respectively.Paired t-tests showed that tL =4.562,P≤0.01 and tR =3.855,P≤0.01 during left or right rotation.There was a significant difference,but there was no significant difference in LPT/RPT. Conclusion Isometric and isokinetic tests of core muscles during trunk rotation give results which are strongly correlated.Either can correctly reflect the maximal strength of core muscles during trunk rotation.Clinicinas may reasonably choose either testing method to assess patients and guide treatment according to the patient's clinical symptoms and the severity of the problem.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of psoralen (PSO) plus long-wave ultraviolet-A (PUVA) on apoptosis and expression of Fas ligand (FasL) in HL-60 leukemia cells. METHODS: The HL-60 cells were taken as the study objects and their apoptosis rates, ultrastructure changes and the expression of FasL were detected in order to observe the effects of PSO and ultraviolet-A (UVA) of wave length 360 nm. The factorial design and analysis of variance were used to analyze the interaction among the factors. RESULTS: PSO, UVA and PUVA all induced the apoptosis and the effects of PUVA were stronger than those of the other two. After HL-60 cells had been treated with PUVA, they all showed obvious ultrastructure changes due to apoptosis observed under the electron microscope. PSO, UVA and PUVA all decreased the expressions of FasL gene and protein. The effects of PUVA were stronger than those of the other two. CONCLUSIONS: PUVA can induce the apoptosis of HL-60 cells and the effects are stronger than those of PSO or UVA alone. The expression of FasL gene in HL-60 cells is down-regulated during the apoptosis induced by PUVA.

To study the effects of psoralen (PSO) with long wave ultraviolet light (PUVA) on apoptosis and mitochondrial membrane potential in K562 cells.
