Objective To explore the mediating role of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Methods A total of 1 006 nurses from ten tertiary general hospitals in eight provincial administrative regions were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their safety behavior, professional identity and occupational well-being were investigated using Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, Nurse Professional Identity Scale and Occupational Well-being Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS 26.0 to examine the mediating effect of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Results The scores for safety behavior, professional identity, and occupational well-being were (53.0±6.1), (123.7±21.2) and (90.8±13.1), respectively. Safety behavior was positively correlated with both professional identity and occupational well-being (correlation coefficients were 0.50 and 0.50, respectively, both P<0.01). Professional identity was positively correlated with occupational well-being (correlation coefficient was 0.51, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the professional identity and occupational well-being of nurses, the higher the level of safety behavior (both P<0.05). The result of mediating effect shows that the total effect of occupational identity on safety behavior was 0.498 [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.405-0.576], and occupational well-being played a mediating role between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses with the mediation effect of 0.156 (95%CI was 0.112-0.205), accounting for 31.33% of the total effect. Conclusion The safety behavior of nurses is at a moderate level. Both professional identity and occupational well-being can affect the safety behavior of nurses. Professional identity can increase the safety behavior of nurses by affecting occupational well-being.

ObjectiveTo study whether Chaihu Longgu Mulitang can inhibit hypothalamic inflammation， mitigate anxiety-like behavior， and alleviate anxiety symptoms by regulating the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-κB （p38 MAPK/NF-κB） signaling pathway in the rat model of generalized anxiety disorder （GAD）. MethodTwelve out of 74 Wistar rats were randomly selected as the blank group， and the remaining rats were subjected to chronic restraint stress for the modeling of GAD. The open field test （OFT） and elevated Porteus maze test （PMT） were conducted 14 days after modeling to detect the anxiety-like behaviors. Sixty successfully modeled rats were selected and randomized into model， low-， medium-， and high-dose （6， 12， and 24 g·kg^-1， respectively） Chaihu Longgu Mulitang， and diazepam （1 mg·kg^-1） groups （n=12） and administrated with corresponding drugs for 14 consecutive days. OFT and PMT were then carried out to examine the anxiety-like behaviors of the rats. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and interleukin-1β （IL-1β） in the hypothalamus and serum of rats were determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）was conducted to determine the mRNA levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， nuclear factor κB inhibitor α （IκBα）， and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba-1）. The protein levels of p38 MAPK， phosphorylated （p）-p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， p-NF-κB p65， and IκBα in the hypothalamus of rats were determined by Western blot. The expression of Iba-1 in the hypothalamic microglia was detected by immunofluorescence assay. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group had decreased body weight， scattered dark yellow fur， increased irritability， and preference to hibernation in the corner. In addition， the modeled rats showed increased edge movement distance and time in OFT （P<0.01） and decreased movement distance and time and the number of entries in the open arm in PMT （P<0.01）. The modeling increased the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus （P<0.01）， elevated the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the serum and hypothalamus （P<0.01）， up-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， p-p38 MAPK， p-NF-κB p65， and Iba-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated the protein and mRNA levels of IκBα （P<0.01） in the hypothalamus. Compared with the model group， medium- and high-dose Chaihu Longgu Mulitang and diazepam increased the body weight， improved the fur and behaviors， decreased the edge movement distance and time in OFT （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and increased the movement distance and time in the open arm in PMT （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， they decreased the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 in hypothalamic microglia （P<0.05， P<0.01）， lowered the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the serum and hypothalamic tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of p38 MAPK， NF-κB p65， p-p38 MAPK， p-NF-κB p65， and Iba-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of IκBα （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the hypothalamus. ConclusionChaihu Longgu Mulitang can mitigate anxiety-like behaviors and relieve anxiety in GAD rats by inhibiting the p38 MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing the activation of microglia and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the hypothalamus.

[Objective] To explore the effectiveness of scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage (scrotal girdle) in preventing postoperative complications of varicocele. [Methods] A total of 80 patients with varicocele who underwent microscopical varicocele ligation during Dec.2021 and May 2023 were divided into the experimental group (n=40) and control group (n=40) by the random number table method.All patients received wound dressing one week after surgery and stopped using it after wound healing.Additionally, the experimental group was treated with scrotal girdle for another 8 weeks.The preoperative and postoperative scores of scrotal edema on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day after surgery, satisfaction, length of hospital stay, frequency of dressing changes, pain intensity, complications, serum testosterone level and semen routine at the 12th week after surgery were compared between the two groups. [Results] The score of scrotal edema in the experimental group was (1.12±0.38) on the 6th day after operation, which was significantly lower than that in the control group (1.68±0.50) (P<0.05). The hospitalization time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the control group, and the frequency of dressing changes was also significantly reduced, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The patient satisfaction was 95% in the experimental group higher than 80% in the control group (P<0.05). The sperm density was (54.12±6.23) ×10⁶/L and the sperm motility rate was (66.45±0.44)% in the experimental group, while the sperm density was (41.53±8.51) ×10⁶/L and the sperm motility rate was (57.85±0.47)% in the control group.The sperm density, sperm motility rate, and sperm malformation rate of both groups were significantly improved after surgery, and the sperm density and sperm motility rate of the experimental group improved more significantly than those of the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). [Conclusion] The scrotal rapid rehabilitation bandage is more advantageous than traditional external bandaging materials for patients with varicocele after operation, which can accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients and has more clinical practicability.

【Objective】 To explore the clinical application effects of animated video in doctor-patient communication before surgical treatment of ureteral calculi. 【Methods】 A total of 278 cases of ureteral calculi treated in our hospital during Jan. and Dec.2021 were selected as subjects. According to the operation periods, 146 patients treated during Jan. and Jun.2021 were classified as the conventional group, who received traditional oral explanation for preoperative conversation, while 132 patients treated during Jul. and Dec.2021 were classified as the video group who watched animated video for preoperative conversation. The two groups of patients and their families were compared in terms of operation awareness, satisfaction of preoperative conversation, anxiety, preoperative ECG monitoring abnormalities, medical complaints and so on. 【Results】 The operation awareness [(93.35±2.33) vs. (89.21±2.78) points] and satisfaction of preoperative conversation [(94.27±2.33) vs. (91.36±3.68) points] of the video group were significantly higher than those of the conventional group (P<0.05). In terms of anxiety, abnormal preoperative ECG monitoring and medical complaints, the video group also had significant advantages (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Using animated video to assist preoperative conversation can effectively improve the awareness of patients and their families about the operation, and alleviate the anxiety and fear of patients, so that they are more cooperative. This ensures the smooth operation and reduces the occurrence of postoperative complaints.

The presence of adenocarcinoma in urothelium is rare and mucinous adenocarcinoma is even rarer. A case of primary ureteral papillary mucinous adenocarcinoma was reported. The patient was admitted to hospital due to dull pain in the left lumbar abdomen with abdominal distension for 2 years and aggravation with fever for 1 week. CT examination revealed left ureteral calculi, severe left renal hydronephrosis, and renal cortical atrophy. The diagnosis was left ureteral calculus with hydronephrosis and left renal dysfunction. Left kidney puncture and drainage were performed first, followed by laparoscopic nonfunctional nephrectomy and ureterolithotomy. The pathological diagnosis was left ureteral mucinous adenocarcinoma. The patient refused further adjuvant therapy and died 16 months after surgery due to extensive tumor metastasis.

Conclusion:Qingjin Huazhuo Decoction combined with conventional western medicine therapy can improve the blood hypercoagulability of AECOPD patients with phlegm-heat stasis lung syndrome.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction combined with intraoperative dynamic ultrasonography (IOUS) in laparoscopic precision hepatectomy for intrahepatic bile duct stones.Methods:The clinical data of 66 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones undergoing laparoscopic hepatectomy in the First People's Hospital of Fuyang District, Hangzhou from January 2018 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 32 males and 34 females, aged (49.6±15.2) years old. Patients were divided into the study group ( n=32), who underwent laparoscopic precision hepatectomy using 3D reconstruction combined with IOUS, and the control group ( n=34), who underwent conventional laparoscopic hepatectomy. Perioperative data including the operation time, intraopera-tive blood loss, total volume of drainage on postoperative day (POD) 3, and the rates of complications were compared between the groups. Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), liver function indices including total bilirubin (TBil) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were monitored preoperatively and on POD 1, 3, 5, and 7. Results:The operation time was shorter in the study group [(178±17) min vs. (189±18) min, t=2.55, P=0.010]. The intraoperative blood loss was reduced in the study group [(218±19) ml vs. (395±21) ml, P<0.001]. The incidence of total volume of drainage >300 ml on POD 3 were comparable between the groups [9.4%(3/32) vs. 14.7%(5/34), P=0.507]. There were no significant differences in preoperative serum level of TBil, ALT, CRP and IL-6 between the groups (all P>0.05). Compared to the control group, serum levels of TBil, ALT and CRP in the study group were decreased on POD 1, 3, 5 and 7, and IL-6 was decreased on POD 1 and 3 (all P<0.05). The occurrences of postoperative bile leakage [9.4% (3/32) vs. 29.4% (10/34)] and liver cutting surface fluid accumulation [12.5% (4/32) vs. 35.3% (12/34)] and the rate of stone retention [3.0% (1/32) vs. 20.6% (7/34)] were lower in the study group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Preoperative 3D image reconstruction combined with IOUS in laparoscopic precision hepatectomy for intrahepatic bile duct stones could reduce intra-operative blood loss, hepatic inflammatory response, and postoperative complications.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic value of three quantitative evaluation methods based on three-dimensional rapid fluid attenuation inversion recovery sequence (3D-FLAIR) vein-enhanced labyrinth images in endolymphatic hydrops.Methods:From October 2017 to April 2019, a retrospective study was conducted on 86 patients with unilateral otogenic vertigo who were admitted to Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University. MRI was performed 8 h after the single-dose Gd-DTPA intravenously injection in all patients. Three evaluation methods were used to calculate the ratio of the endolymphatic area to the total lymphatic area, the ratio of the saccule to utricle area, and the ratio of the endolymphatic volume to the total lymphatic volume, respectively. The paired t test was used to compare the three ratios between the affected and healthy ears. With clinical diagnosis as the gold standard, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to analyze the efficacy of three methods in diagnosing endolymphatic hydrops. Results:Totally 65 cases were finally diagnosed endolymphatic hydrops clinically. There were statistically significant differences of all the 3 ratios between the affected and healthy ears ( t=9.93, 7.22, 8.20, all P<0.001). The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of endolymph/total lymph area ratio, saccule/utricle area ratio, endolymph/total lymph volume ratio for diagnosis of endolymphatic hydrops were 0.882, 0.768, 0.884 (all P<0.001). And there were no significant differences between each paired AUCs (all P>0.05). Conclusions:All three methods of endolymph/total lymph area ratio, saccule/utricle area ratio, endolymph/total lymph volume ratio can quantitatively evaluate endolymphatic hydrops. The endolymphatic/total lymphatic area ratio method is still the most convenient method at present.
