Background Work alienation is a subjectively negative psychological state characterized by detachment from one's job and its environment. Due to heavy workloads, high-intensity tasks, low compensation, as well as pressures related to promotion, nurses are particularly susceptible to work alienation. Objective To meta-analyze the primary factors affecting work alienation of nurses in China, providing an evidence-based foundation for improving nursing management and nurses' physical and mental health. Methods A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, VIP, Wanfang Data, and DBM, for cross-sectional studies on work alienation and its influencing factors among nurses in China published from inception to December 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment for the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 15.0 and RevMan 5.4 software. Pooled effect sizes were calculated using either fixed-effects or random-effects models based on the magnitude of heterogeneity. Results A total of 27 studies involving 13 028 nurses were included in the meta-analysis, from which 11 influencing factors of work alienation were identified. The pooled score for work alienation among nurses in China was 34.79 (95%CI: 32.56, 37.01). Subgroup analysis revealed that the emergency department reported the highest score (36.81, 95%CI: 31.64, 41.98), followed by the intensive care unit (34.99, 95%CI: 32.27, 37.72) and internal medicine department (33.90, 95%CI: 29.10, 38.71). Significant factors influencing work alienation included length of work experience [standardized mean difference (SMD)=0.32, 95%CI: 0.02, 0.61], professional title (SMD=0.30, 95%CI: 0.16, 0.44), monthly income (SMD=0.38, 95%CI: 0.14, 0.62), psychological capital (SMD=–0.41, 95%CI:–0.52, –0.29), work stress (SMD=0.54, 95%CI: 0.49, 0.58), attitude toward aggression and violence management (SMD=–0.38, 95%CI:–0.44, –0.32), and organizational climate (SMD=–0.47, 95%CI: –0.57, –0.36) (P <0.05). Sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the meta-analysis results, and no significant publication bias was detected. Conclusion Nurses in China exhibit a high level of work alienation, particularly in high-acuity settings like emergency and intensive care unit departments compared to general departments. Shorter work experience (<5 years), lower professional title, lower monthly income (<5 000 CNY), and greater work stress are positively correlated with work alienation. In contrast, psychological capital, proactive attitudes toward managing aggression and violence, and a supportive organizational climate are negatively correlated. These findings indicate a need for nursing managers to develop targeted strategies based on these multifaceted factors to mitigate alienation among nursing staff.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopes adhesiolysis in the treatment of adhesive intestinal obstruction.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 30 patients with adhesive intestinal obstruction who underwent laparoscopes adhesiolysis at the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine between January 2021 and December 2024. The demographics, surgical parameters and postoperative complications were recorded.Results:Among the 30 patients, 16 were male and 14 were female, with age of (55.93 ± 13.83) years. A history of abdominal surgery was present in 25 patients (83.3%). Of the surgeries, 4 cases (13.3%) were performed as emergency procedures and 26 cases (86.7%) were elective. The operative time was (125.57 ± 48.25) min, and intraoperative blood loss was (26.17 ± 16.90) ml. The time to first flatus was (3.30 ± 1.95) d, the time to first oral intake was 4.00 (3.00, 5.00) d, the hospital stay was (24.23 ± 17.97) d, and the postoperative hospital stay was 11.50 (6.75, 18.75) d. The incision pain score 0 score was in 8 cases (26.7%), 1 score in 5 cases (16.7%), 2 scores in 10 cases (33.3%), 3 scores in 3 cases (10.0%), 4 scores in 3 cases (10.0%), and 5 scores in 1 case (3.3%). One case developed a postoperative wound infection. The patients were followed up for 1 year, 1 patient experienced recurrent incomplete intestinal obstruction due to widespread peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer.Conclusions:Laparoscopes adhesiolysis is a safe and effective treatment for adhesive intestinal obstruction, offering advantages in terms of postoperative recovery and low complication rates. The continued use of minimally invasive techniques is recommended in the management of this condition.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the surgical technique and preliminary effectiveness of closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) using antegrade elastic intramedullary nailing (ESIN) via a novel approach through the proximal radius for treating distal radius metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction (DRMDJ) fractures in children. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 34 children with DRMDJ fractures who met the selection criteria and were treated between January 2020 and June 2023. There were 21 boys and 13 girls, aged 6-14 years (mean, 8.2 years). Injury causes included falls in 11 cases and sports-related trauma in 23 cases. Twenty-six cases were associated with ipsilateral distal ulnar fractures. All patients had failed initial closed reduction in the outpatient clinic. The time from injury to operation ranged from 1 to 15 days (mean, 4 days). All patients underwent CRIF using antegrade ESIN inserted via a novel approach at the proximal one-third of the radius. The operation time, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, fracture healing time, and complications were recorded. Fracture reduction was assessed immediately after operation on anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films for residual translation and angulation. Wrist function was evaluated using the modified Mayo wrist score. RESULTS: Surgery was successfully completed in all 34 children. CRIF with ESIN failed in 2 cases with associated ipsilateral distal ulnar fractures, requiring conversion to open reduction of the ulna. Operation time ranged from 15 to 56 minutes (mean, 21 minutes). Intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency ranged from 5 to 21 times (mean, 7 times). Immediate postoperative X-ray films showed residual translation of 0-15% on anteroposterior view and 0-10% on lateral view, and residual angulation of 0°-5° on both anteroposterior and lateral views. All children were followed up 6-18 months (mean, 12 months). There was no complication such as neurovascular injury, incision infection, or limitation of forearm rotation. Follow-up X-ray films showed no fracture displacement, implant loosening, delayed union, or nonunion. Fracture healing time ranged from 4 to 8 weeks (mean, 6 weeks). Implants were removed at 4-6 months postoperatively (mean, 5 months). At last follow-up, all fractures had achieved anatomic or near-anatomic healing. The modified Mayo wrist score ranged from 80 to 100 (mean, 94), with 27 excellent and 7 good results, yielding an excellent and good rate of 100%. CONCLUSION CRIF using antegrade ESIN via a novel approach through proximal radius is a safe and effective treatment for pediatric DRMDJ fractures, associated with few postoperative complications and excellent restoration of wrist function.

AIM:A mouse model of acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(AE-IPF)was estab-lished.METHODS:One hundred and twenty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a negative control group,an IPF group,and an acute exacerbation of interstitial fibrosis(AE-IPF)group.The IPF group received a low dose(3 mg/kg)of bleomycin(BLM)by endotracheal drip on days 0,14,and 28.The AE-IPF group received a high dose(5 mg/kg)of BLM by endotracheal drip on day 56.The control group received an equal volume of saline at different time points.The AE-IPF group was injected with a high dose(5 mg/kg)of BLM via tracheal drip on day 56 on top of the initial IPF induction,while the control group received equal amounts of saline at different time points.Experiments were con-ducted on the 57th,59th,63rd,and 70th days after the initial modeling.Mice were observed for general conditions,CT imaging changes,HE,and Masson staining to assess the degree of alveolitis and fibrosis in lung tissues.Lung function,hydroxyproline(HYP)content in lung tissues,and interleukin-6(IL-6)content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were also measured.RESULTS:Mice in the AE-IPF group exhibited wheezing,shortness of breath,dyspnea,and weight loss.CT imaging revealed that IPF group mice showed patchy,subpleural reticular fuzzy shadows with irregular thickening of interlobular septa and intralobular linear shadows,along with tractional bronchiectasis.In the AE-IPF group,new ground-glass shadows and solid shadows appeared in addition to the IPF features.AE-IPF group mice demon-strated decreased lung function,elevated lung index,and acute pulmonary edema.HE and Masson staining of AE-IPF group mice showed consistent pathological manifestations of AE-IPF.HYP content in lung tissues,total cell count in BALF,and IL-6 concentration were significantly higher in the AE-IPF group compared to the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The use of multiple tracheal drip administrations of bleomycin successfully established an AE-IPF ani-mal model in mice.The 63rd day of the experiment was identified as the optimal observation point,as it exhibited the most significant pathological features and clinical symptoms.This model provides ideal conditions for studying AE-IPF patho-genesis and evaluating therapeutic efficacy.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating role of perceived social support and coping modes between perceived risk of recurrence and depression in elderly patients with first-episode ischemic stroke.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 310 elderly patients with first-episode ischemic stroke in the Department of Neurology of Jiangsu Wutaishan Hospital and Northern Jiangsu People 's Hospital from December 2022 to February 2024 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, Recurrence Risk Perception Scale for Patients with Stroke, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, and Patient Health Questionnaire were used to investigate the patients and to construct and validate the chain mediating model. Results:A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed and 306 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 98.7%. The total scores of perceived risk of recurrence, perceived social support, medical coping modes, and depression in elderly patients with first-episode ischemic stroke were 35.00 (29.00, 39.00), 59.00 (51.00, 67.00), 43.00 (39.00, 47.00), and 3.50 (2.00, 7.00), respectively. Perceived risk of recurrence was positively correlated with perceived social support and confrontation coping mode ( r=0.418, 0.463; P<0.001), and negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.450, P<0.001). Perceived social support was positively correlated with confrontation coping mode ( r=0.416, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.408, P<0.001). Confrontation coping mode was negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.472, P<0.001). The mediating test showed that perceived risk of recurrence negatively predicted depression, with a direct effect of -0.245, accounting for 48.70% of the total effect. The mediating effect of perceived social support on perceived risk of recurrence and depression was significant, with an indirect effect of -0.146, accounting for 29.03% of the total effect. The mediating effect of confrontation coping mode on perceived risk of recurrence and depression was significant, with an indirect effect of -0.085, accounting for 16.90% of the total effect. In addition, perceived social support and confrontation coping modes had a significant chain mediating effect in perceived risk of recurrence and depression, with an indirect effect of -0.027, accounting for 5.37% of the total effect. Conclusions:Perceived social support and confrontation coping mode have chain mediating effects between perceived risk of recurrence and depression. Healthcare professionals can reduce the incidence of depression by increasing the patient 's perceived risk of recurrence, giving a great deal of social support, and enhancing positive modes of coping with the disease.
