Objective:To explore the psychological recovery pathway and support needs of second victims of nurses who have experienced medical adverse events through qualitative research.Methods:From June to December 2022, a purposive sampling method was used to select 20 nurses who had experienced level Ⅲ or above adverse events and voluntarily participated in this study from 3 grade A tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province and 1 grade A tertiary hospital in Sichuan Province. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the research subjects and the data was analyze by using thematic analysis.Results:The psychological recovery path of nurses who had experienced medical adverse events included three stages, named as the plateau period, stress response period, and coping and growth period. The second victim of nurses hoped to receive support from the department′s environmental culture, organizational atmosphere, and non punitive culture, and nurses in the platform stage had a stronger need for the first two types of support; the nurses preferred emotional support from superiors, colleagues, family/friends during the stress response period, and preferred knowledge learning and training support during the coping and growth period.Conclusions:The psychological recovery of the second victim of nurses will go through a plateau period, a stress response period, and a coping and growth period. There are differences in support needs during each period, and more targeted intervention plans should be developed.

Objective:To investigate the predictive efficacy of global inhomogeneity (GI) index based on pulmonary electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in postoperative pulmonary infection of patients with craniocerebral trauma.Methods:A total of 90 patients with emergency craniocerebral trauma underwent surgery under general anesthesia in Suzhou Science & Technology Town Hospital. According to the complication of pulmonary infection at the 3rd day after operation, they were divided into the pulmonary infection group (P3 group) and non-pulmonary infection group (NP3 group), and according to the complication of pulmonary infection at the 7th day after operation, they were divided into the P7 group and NP7 group. The average GI index within 5 min before anesthesia induction (T 0) and 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T 1) and other clinical data in the perioperative period were collected. The prevalence of pulmonary infection at the 3rd and 7th days after operation was recorded. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative GI index for pulmonary infection at the 3rd and 7th days after operation. Results:A total of 88 patients were included. Among them, 26 patients developed pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation, and the prevalence rate was 29.5%. Pulmonary infection occurred in 38 patients within 7 days after operation, and the prevalence rate was 43.2%. Within 3 days after operation, the preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale score in the P3 group was significantly lower than that in the NP3 group ( P < 0.05). Within 3 days after operation, GI index in the P3 group increased significantly at T 1 when compared with the NP3 group ( P< 0.001). Within 7 days after operation, GI index in the P7 group increased significantly at T 1 when compared with the NP7 group ( P < 0.05). GI index at T1 accurately predicted pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation (AUC = 0.857, P < 0.001), and the best intercept value was ≥0.4225 (sensitivity: 0.846, specificity: 0.823). GI index at T 1 predicted pulmonary infection within 7 days after operation (AUC = 0.667, P < 0.005), and the best intercept value was ≥0.4225 (sensitivity: 0.579, specificity: 0.780), but the prediction efficiency was poor. Conclusions:The average GI index within 5 min after endotracheal intubation can be used as an effective predictor of pulmonary infection within 3 days after operation.

Objective:To evaluate the obesity factor on ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in rats.Methods:Forty-five clean-grade male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 6-8 weeks, were divided into 3 groups ( n = 15 each)according to the body weight: normal weight control group (group C), normal weight VILI group (group CV) and obese VILI group (group FV). The body weight was 233-267 g in C and CV groups and 288-332 g in FV group.In group C, the tidal volume (V T) was 10 ml/kg.In CV and FV groups, the rats were ventilated for 4 h with the V T set at 40 ml/kg, respiratory rate 40 breaths/min, inspiratory/expiratory ratio 1∶2, PEEP 0 mmHg, and fraction of inspired oxygen 21% to establish the VILI model.The arterial blood samples were collected immediately before tracheal intubation and at 4 h of mechanical ventilation for blood gas analysis and PaO 2 recording.The remaining blood samples were used for plasma collection.The rats were sacrificed after blood collection at 4 h of ventilation, and the bilateral lung tissues were isolated to collect the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). The concentrations of leptin in plasma and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in plasma and BALF were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio of lung tissues was measured.The pathological changes of lung tissues were observed after HE staining, and the lung injury score was evaluated.The expression of NF-κB p65 in lung tissues was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with group C and group CV, the plasma leptin concentration was significantly increased in group FV( P<0.01). Compared with group C, the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in plasma and BALF were significantly increased, PaO 2 was decreased, the lung injury score and W/D ratio of lung tissues were increased, and NF-κB p65 expression was up-regulated at 4 h of ventilation in CV and FV groups ( P<0.01). Compared with group CV, the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in plasma and BALF were significantly decreased, PaO 2 was increased, the lung injury score and W/D ratio of lung tissues were decreased, and NF-κB p65 expression was down-regulated at 4 h of ventilation in group FV ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Obesity factor can reduce VILI in rats, and the mechanism may be related to the increase in plasma leptin levels.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation intervention by using self-efficacy theory on patients with chronic stable heart failure, and to provide evidences for rehabilitation nursing of patients. Methods Using the method of randomized controlled studies, 132 patients with chronic stable heart failure from Nanshitou Street and Shayuan Street communities in Haizhu, Guangzhou, Guangdong were randomly divided into two groups according to the community's name. The patients in the intervention group received self-efficacy and education intervention while the control group received health education only. The patients' exercise self-efficacy scores and six minute walk distances were separately measured by exercise self-efficacy scale and six minute walk test before and after intervention. Results The scores of exercise self-efficacy and six minute walk distances increased more significantly in the intervention group than in the control group after intervention (P<0.01). Conclusion Self-efficacy and education intervention can effectively improve the exercise self-efficacy and six minute walk distance of patients with heart failure.

BACKGROUND:It is vital to choose the appropriate carrier with low toxicity and high gene transfection efficiency in gene therapy, which is harmless to human body and environment. OBJECTIVE: To prepare superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2-polyethyleneimine (PEI) composite particles. METHODS: Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared via an emulsion solvent evaporation method and superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2 core shel microspheres were prepared successfuly subsequently via a modified stober method. The microspheres were further modified with PEI to obtain superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles. The structures and properties of resultant composite particles microspheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential and vibrating sample magnetometer. Superparamagnetic Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles were mixed with plasmid DNA at different mass ratios (29∶1, 39∶1, 49∶1, 59∶1, 68∶1, 78∶1, 88∶1). Thein vitro gene transfection ability was evaluated by Hela cels with the transfection of plasmid DNA encoded with green fluorescent protein and the transfection efficiency was determined by confocal fluorescence microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We successfuly synthesized the Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles with good dispersibility and even size distribution (about 100 nm). The surface charge was 21.07 mV, and the saturation magnetization was 28.05 emu/g that meant superparamagnetism. When the mass ratio was 59∶1, al the plasmid DNA was adherent to the Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles; when the mass ratio was > 59∶1, there were excessive Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles. Therefore, the mass ratio of 59:1 could lead to a better outcome for HeLa celltransfection. These results indicate that the Fe3O4/SiO2-PEI composite particles can dramaticaly improve the transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA compared with PEI.

Objective To access the effect of intermittent catheterization (IC) on the urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods Sixty patients of spinal cord injury combined with urinary tract infec-tion were randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (32 patients) treated with sensitive antibiotics and IC;control group (28 patients) treated with sensitive antibiotics only. Both groups were treated for two weeks. Results In the treatment and control group,the cure rate was 56% and 29% ,respectively,the total effective rate was 91% and 64% in the treatment and control group,respectively,the clearance rate of bacteria was 81% and 57% ,respec-tively. All differences were significant (P<0.05). Conclusions IC can improve the effect of antibiotic on urinary tract infection in patients with spinal cord injury, and might be effective on the treatment of urinary tract infection caused by various neurogenic bladders.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between immune status of adenoids and secretory otitis media (SOM). METHOD: The adenoid tissue samples of 72 cases with SOM and 30 cases with adenoid hypertrophy without SOM were studied by immunohistochemical method. RESULT: The PCNA, BCL-2, CD4+, CD8+ and CD4+ / CD8+ in SOM tissue samples were 30.85 +/- 1.73, 21.27 +/- 1.25, 41.90 +/- 9.07, 20.45 +/- 7.08 and 2.10 +/- 0.17, respectively, which were much more than that of tissue samples without SOM (25.25 +/- 1.75, 14.05 +/- 1.02, 16.30 +/- 8.21, 11.15 +/- 5.71, 1.39 +/- 0.15 respectively) (P < 0.01). The expression of CD4+ in T-lymphocyte was obviously higher than that of CD8+. CONCLUSION In adenoid tissues of SOM patients, the activity of T-lymphocyte subsets are increased,the adenoids are enlarged and local immunity are enhanced. Therefore,adenoidectomy should be applied in SOM patients as early as possible.

Objective To evaluate the serum organochlorine pesticides residues levels in breast cancer pa-tients with different estrogen receptor(ER). Methods 93 patients of breast cancer from Fengnan districtand 65 pa-tients from Tanghai county in Tangshan were selected,whose ER were detected by pathology and serum organochlo-fine pesticides (DDTs and HCHs) levels were detected and compared with gas chromatography/electron capture. Results The orders of detection rate of HCH isomer in breast cancer patients in two areas were β-HCH >δ-HCH > α-HCH >γ-HCH. The orders of detection rate of DDT isomer in breast cancer patients in two areas were PP'-DDE > PP'-DDT > OP'-DDT > PP'-DDD. The serum levels of β-HCH, PP'-DDE in breast cancer patients in two are-as were positively correlated with age (r=0.272 ,0.330 , P<0.01) or BMI (r=0.312,0.187, P <0.01, <0.05). There were statistical differences in the serum β-HCH,δ-HCH,PP'-DDE levels between the estrogen receptor posi-tive breast cancer patients and the estrogen receptor negative breast cancer patients in two areas (P<0.05 for each). Conclusion The serum organochlorine pesticides residues levels in breast cancer patients with positive es-trogen receptor are higher than that with negative estrogen receptor, implicating that breast cancer is dependent on es-trogen. The cause of breast cancer is likely due to estrogen-like effect of serum organochlorine pesticides residues.

Objective To investigate arsenic trioxide (As2O3)-mediated apoptosis of synovlal cells in pa-tients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through culturing the synoviocytes in vitro. Methods Primary synovial cells were cultured by means of two-enzymatic digestion and the third cells were adopted in this test. The cultured cells were defined by MTT and flow cytometry (FCM). Results Certain concentration of As2O3 could inhibit the viability of synoviocytes at 48 h by means of MTT, which was dose-dependent. Certain concentration of As2O3 could induce the apoptosis of synoviocytos pro rata at 48h by means of FCM ,which was dose-dependent within range of 10-80 μmol/L concentration. Conclusion Certain concentration of As2O3 following 48 h effect could induce the apoptosis of syno-viocytes of RA,which is dose-dependent.
