Objective:
To investigate the association between occupational stress and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among grassroots medical personnels, so as to provide the reference for improving their physical and mental well-being.
Methods:
From March to May 2024, medical staff from nine street community health service centers in Liangxi District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province were selected by a convenient sampling method. Basic information was collected through questionnaire surveys. Occupational stress was assessed using the Core Occupational Stress Measurement Scale. Health utility value and the Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS) score were investigated using the European Quality of Life Five-Dimension Five-Level (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. The association between occupational stress and HRQoL was analyzed using multiple linear regression model.
Results:
A total of 909 individuals were surveyed, including 141 males (15.51%) and 768 females (84.49%). The average occupational stress score was (24.41±9.45) points. The average health utility value was (0.96±0.07), with 372 individuals (40.92%) experiencing health problems in at least one dimension. The primarily problems were pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, with 249 (27.39%) and 265 (29.15%) individuals, respectively. The average EQ-VAS score was (86.62±13.84) points. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that occupation (nurses, β'=0.101; pharmacists, β'=0.101; medical technicians, β'=0.090), professional title (intermediate, β'=-0.079; associate senior, β'=-0.081; senior, β'=-0.101), and occupational stress (β'=-0.288) were influencing factors for health utility value. Occupation (nurses, β'=0.087; pharmacists, β'=0.146; medical technicians, β'=0.073) and occupational stress (β'=-0.226) were influencing factors for EQ-VAS score. After adjusting for variables such as gender, age, educational level, occupation, professional title, work experience, and monthly income, grassroots medical personnels with higher occupational stress score had lower health utility values (β'=-0.296) and EQ-VAS score (β'=-0.237).
Conclusions
Occupational stress can reduce the HRQoL among grassroots medical personnels. It is recommended to regularly assess occupational stress levels and intervene early to address their psychological and physical health issues.

Objective:To explore the effect of proxy online health information seeking based on theory of planned behavior(TPB) of rural maternal for breast feeding guidance. The aim is to provide a theoretical basis for improving the rate of exclusive breast feeding among rural mothers.Methods:Using a quasi experimental research method and convenience sampling method, the study selected postpartum women and their primary caregivers who gave birth at Maoming Dianbai Maternal and Child Health Care hospital from October 2023 to April 2024 as the research subjects. According to the admission time, 47 parturients and their primary caregiver who gave birth between October and December 2023 were designated as the control group, while 50 parturients and their primary caregiver who gave birth between January and April 2024 were designated as the observation group. The control group received routine breast feeding education, while the observation group received proxy online health information seeking based on TPB breast feeding guidance. Compared the breast feeding knowledge, self-efficacy, family support, as well as the electronic health literacy and breast feeding knowledge of the primary caregivers of two groups of postpartum women.Results:The final control group included 40 maternal and their primary caregivers, while the observation group included 47 each. The maternal age of the control group was (36.73 ± 4.36) years, while that of the observation group was (35.96 ± 3.24) years. The main caregivers for the control group of parturients were 5 males and 35 females, aged 61.00 (59.00, 62.00) years old. There were 8 males and 39 females in the observation group, aged 62.00 (59.00, 64.00) years. After 6 months of intervention, the scores of breast feeding knowledge, self-efficacy, and family support were 14.00(12.00, 16.00), 45.67 ± 9.49, 3.00(3.00, 4.00) in the intervention group, more than those in the control group 7.00(2.00, 10.75), 37.15 ± 8.12, 2.00(2.00, 3.00) points, the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( Z=-6.55, -5.68, t=-4.45, all P<0.05); the primary caregivers' electronic health literacy and breast feeding knowledge scores were 31.45 ± 4.92 and 14.00 (11.00, 16.00), respectively, higher than those of the control group family members 28.68 ± 4.46 and 4.50 (2.00, 9.75). The differences were statistically significant ( t=-3.38, Z=-7.19, both P<0.05). The pure breast feeding rate at 1 week, 3 months and 6 months postpartum were 70.2%(33/47), 63.8%(30/47), 59.6%(28/47) in the intervention group, more than those in the control group 47.5%(19/40), 37.5%(15/40), 27.5%(11/40), the differences were statistically significant between the two groups ( χ2=4.64, 6.00, 8.99, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Proxy online health information seeking based on TPB can effectively strengthen the health information searching ability of primary caregivers of rural maternal, and help rural maternal improve breastfeeding knowledge, self-efficacy and family support to promote exclusive breast feeding.

Objective:To explore the effects of combining APR-246 with irradiation for enhancing anti-tumor immune response against 4T1 breast cancer cells, and to develop multiple tumor treatment strategies.Methods:The control group, APR-246 group, irradiation group and irradiation combined APR-246 group were used both in the cell experiment and tumor-bearing mice experiment. The inhibitory effect of APR-246 on the proliferation of 4T1 cells was assessed by using Cell Counting Kit-8. The effect of APR-246 with irradiation on the survival rate of 4T1 cells using clone formation assay was measured. The levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) in tumor cells using a 2’, 7’-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescent probe and a lipid peroxidation sensor, the tumor inhibition rates of different groups of tumor bearing mice were compared, and the proportions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and the ratio of M1/M2 macrophages were determined in the tumor microenvironment by flow cytometry.Results:Compared with irradiation group, 2, 4, 6 Gy irradiation combined APR-246 group significantly reduced the survival rates of 4T1 cells ( t = 2.89, 4.15, 2.62, P < 0.05), the 6 Gy irradiation combined APR-246 group significantly increased the levels of ROS ( t = 16.95, P < 0.05) and LPO ( t = 6.09, P < 0.05) in 4T1 cells, and significantly increased the apoptosis rate of 4T1 cells ( t = 10.99, P < 0.05). Meanwhile, from the 16 th day of tumor inoculation, the 10 Gy irradiation combined APR-246 group showed significantly inhibited tumor growth ( t = 2.38-2.91, P < 0.05) and significantly increased proportions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells ( t = 9.96, 6.28, P < 0.05) and M1/M2 ratio ( t = 15.30, P < 0.05) in tumor tissues. Conclusions:APR-246 combined with irradiation can effectively increase ROS and LPO levels in 4T1 cells, promote tumor cell apoptosis, and induce anti-tumor immune response, thus potentially inhibiting the growth of 4T1 cells.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Shexiang Baoxinwan in treating stable angina pectoris with Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) complicated with anxiety and depression and explore its underlying mechanisms. MethodsThis study employed a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trial design. Patients admitted to the hospital were randomly assigned to the observation group and the control group, with 52 patients in each group. Patients in the observation and control groups received Shexiang Baoxinwan and placebo, respectively, both in combination with conventional Western medication. The dose was 45.0 mg, three times daily, for a total duration of eight weeks. The primary outcome was the Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) scores before and after treatment. Secondary outcomes included changes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome score, the patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7), inflammatory markers [interleukin-18 (IL-18), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), CD40, etc.], monoamine neurotransmitters [e.g., dopamine (DA)], vascular endothelial function markers [e.g., endothelin-1(ET-1)], adipokines, and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA). Adverse reactions were also recorded. ResultsA total of 92 patients completed the study, with 44 in the observation group and 48 in the control group. Compared with baseline, both groups showed significant decreases in PHQ-9, GAD-7, and TCM syndrome scores following treatment (P<0.05), along with a significant increase in SAQ scores (P<0.05). In the observation group, DA levels were significantly increased (P<0.05), while levels of IL-18, TNF-α, CD40, ET-1, and IMA were decreased (P<0.05). In contrast, the control group exhibited significantly increased CD40 levels (P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the observation group showed significant improvements in the SAQ dimensions of physical limitation, angina stability, treatment satisfaction, and disease perception, as well as in TCM syndrome score, PHQ-9 score, IL-18, CD40, ET-1, and IMA (P<0.05). No adverse reactions were observed in either group during treatment. ConclusionShexiang Baoxinwan can improve anxiety and depression, alleviate angina symptoms, and reduce TCM symptoms of Qi stagnation and blood stasis in CAD patients. The mechanism may involve anti-inflammation, improvement of vascular endothelial function, reduction of IMA, and increase of monoamine neurotransmitter levels.
