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 diagnostic value of serum sex hormone binding globulin(SHBG),in-sulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1)and bone age index(BAI)in girls with precocious puberty(PP).Methods A total of 220 girls with PP who were treated in this hospital from January 2022 to August 2024 were selected as the research subjects.The research subjects were divided into 104 children with central preco-cious puberty(CPP,CPP group)and 116 children with simple premature thelarche(SPT,SPT group)accord-ing to the type of the patients' disease.Another 110 girls with normal physical examination and development during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serum SHBG and IGF-1 in each group were determined and BAI was calculated.The diagnostic efficacy of the combined detection of serum SHBG,IGF-1 and BAI for CPP was analyzed through the receiver operating characteristic curve,and the correlation between serum SHBG,IGF-1,BAI and sex hormone indicators in girls with PP was analyzed by Pearson corre-lation analysis.Results The levels of height,basal follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),basal luteinizing hor-mone(LH),and estradiol(E2)in the CPP group and the SPT group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The serum SHBG levels in the CPP group and the SPT group were lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The serum IGF-1 and BAI in the CPP group and the SPT group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the three combined diagnoses of PP in girls was 0.941,which was significantly larger than those of IGF-1 and BAI(Z=8.140,9.470,both P＜0.05).The AUC of the three combined diagnoses of CPP in girls was 0.958,which was significantly higher than those of the single tests of serum SHBG,IGF-1,and BAI(Z=2.821,7.363,6.412,all P＜0.05).The levels of serum SHBG in PP of girls were negatively correlated with those of IGF-1,BAI,basal FSH,basal LH and E2(P＜0.05).Serum IGF-1 was positively correlated with BAI,basal FSH and basal LH(P＜0.05),but not correlated with E2(P＞0.05).BAI was positively correla-ted with the levels of basal FSH,basal LH and E2(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of serum SHBG and IGF-1 with BAI has certain diagnostic value for PP in girls,especially for the diagnosis of CPP,which is significantly superior to a single test.

Objective:To explore the value of predicting new-onset heart failure events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using clinical and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features based on machine learning algorithms.Methods:The study was a retrospective cohort study. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of HCM who underwent CMR examinations at Beijing Anzhen Hospital from May 2017 to March 2021 were selected and randomly divided into the training set and the validation set in a ratio of 7∶3. Clinical data and CMR parameters (including conventional parameters and radiomics features) were collected. The endpoint events were heart failure hospitalization and heart failure death, with follow-up ending in January 2023. Features with high stability and P value<0.05 in univariate Cox regression analysis were selected. Subsequently, three machine learning algorithms—random forest, decision tree, and XGBoost—were used to build heart failure event prediction models in the training set. The model performance was then evaluated using the independent validation set, with the performance assessed based on the concordance index. Results:A total of 462 patients were included, with a median age of 51 (39, 62) years, of whom 332 (71.9%) were male. There were 323 patients in the training set and 139 in the validation set. The median follow-up time was 42 (28, 52) months. A total of 44 patients (9.5% (44/462)) experienced endpoint events (8 cases of heart failure death and 36 cases of heart failure hospitalization), with 31 events in the training set and 13 in the validation set. Univariate Cox regression analysis identified 39 radiomic features, 4 conventional CMR parameters (left ventricular end-diastolic volume index, left ventricular end-systolic volume index, left ventricular ejection fraction, and late gadolinium enhancement ratio), and 1 clinical feature (history of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia) that could be included in the machine learning model. In the prediction models built with the training set, the concordance indices for the random forest, decision tree, and XGBoost models were 0.966 (95% CI 0.813-0.995), 0.956 (95% CI 0.796-0.992), and 0.973 (95% CI 0.823-0.996), respectively. In the validation set, the concordance indices for the random forest, decision tree, and XGBoost models were 0.854 (95% CI 0.557-0.964), 0.706 (95% CI 0.399-0.896), and 0.703 (95%CI 0.408-0.890), respectively. Conclusion:Integrating clinical and CMR features of HCM patients through machine learning aids in predicting heart failure events, with the random forest model showing superior performance.

The department of critical care medicine, the clinical base of critical care medicine, is the centralized management unit for the treatment of critical patients. Medicine and nursing are independent disciplines, but both can be fully utilized from different perspectives when dealing with critically ill patients. With the development of critical care medicine understanding and technology, the concept of doctor-nurse integration construction in the department of critical care medicine has emerged. Doctor-nurse integration construction in the department of critical care medicine needs to take severe diseases as the core and academic development as the orientation. Clinical practice should be carried out through medical cooperation, based on critical cognition and unified thinking mode.

Objective:To explore the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses, and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From August to September 2021, multi-stage sampling was used to select nurses from 20 stomatology hospitals in 7 geographical regions of North China, East China, South China, Central China, Southwest, Northeast, and Northwest China. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Turnover Intention Scale, Nursing Work Environment Scale, Psychological Capital Scale for Nurses, and Work Engagement Scale.Results:A total of 1 513 questionnaires were collected, including 1 135 valid questionnaires, with a valid rate of 75.02% (1 135/1 513). The total score of turnover intention among 1 135 dental outpatient nurses was (2.22±0.56). Pearson correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between nursing work environment, psychological capital, work engagement, and turnover intention ( r=-0.421, -0.340, -0.446; P<0.01). The structural equation model showed that the nursing work environment had a direct negative effect on the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses (β=-0.401, P<0.01) and had an indirect negative effect on turnover intention through work engagement (β=-0.106, P<0.01), with a mediating effect of 20.91%. Psychological capital had an indirect negative effect on the turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses through work engagement (β=-0.271, P<0.01), with a mediating effect of 52.83%. Conclusions:The turnover intention of dental outpatient nurses is at a high level. Managers can reduce the turnover intention of dental clinic nurses by improving the nursing work environment, developing psychological capital, and increasing work engagement.

Solar proton event(SPE)is the major concern for astronauts in space radiation environment.With the coming of solar activity peak of the 25th solar cycle,the frequency of occurrence of solar proton event is increasing,as well as the intense of the events.Two SPEs of the most flux in March 23rd,2024 and June 8th,2003 and one with extra-large geomagnetic storm in May 10th,2004 were used to analysis the astronaut dose both in China Space Station orbit and lunar environment.First,radiation particle spectrum outside TianHe module was used to calculate astronauts dose inside the station,which was compared with the measured dose;second,the fitting result of proton spectrum from GOES16 satellite was used to calculate astronaut dose in lunar orbit,which was compared with the dose measured by CRaTER.Besides,the change of dose with extra shield of different material was calculated.The results indicate when no extra-large geomagnetic storm occurs,middle level SPE has no influence to astronaut in station,but an obvious dose increase happens in lunar environment,approaching ten or more mGy in skin.When shielded by Al or water of 10g/cm2,the astronaut's dose could be reduced to mGy or below.Extra energetic protons would observe on station orbit when an SPE with extra-large geomagnetic storm occurs,however when the amount of energetic protons is small,the extra dose is about several 1 nGy to 1 μGy in skin,which was negligible compared with daily dose.When a middle or above level SPE occurs,the influence to astronaut in LEO needs judge immediately,which is mostly based on the geomagnetic activity,but extra shield are needed for manned lunar exploration to ensure astronaut safety.

Glucagonoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of α cells of the pancreas. The tumor excessively secretes glucagon and causes glucagonoma syndrome.70%-90% of patients with glucagonoma will develop necrolytic migratory erythema (NME). We reported a patient of glucagonoma syndrome who was presented to the dermatology outpatient clinic with a 2-year-history of recurrent erythema and scaling on the skin migrating throughout the body. A skin biopsy was performed and resulting features matched with NME, whilst imaging examinations suggested a soft tissue density tumor present in the tail of the pancreas with somatostatin receptor expression and laboratory tests found an elevated levels of serum glucagon. After the diagnosis was confirmed, the patient was treated with surgical resection of the glucagonoma and the skin eruptions resolved rapidly in 4 days. Meanwhile, we reviewed relevant literature published in recent years and summarized its clinical characteristics in order to improve its understanding by clinicians, including clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging examinations, diagnosis and treatments.

As early as the 20 th century, it has been observed that radiotherapy (RT), as a local therapy, can activate the adaptive immune system, resulting in spontaneous regression of tumors out of the radiation field, which is known as "abscopal effect". Although the occurrence of abscopal effect is still rare, with the gradual increase in the application of immunotherapy, more and more clinical cases of abscopal effect have been reported. Increasing attention has been paid to the therapeutic potential of RT in inducing systemic anti-tumor response. Especially, the combination of RT and immunotherapy enhances the research value of abscopal effect. However, its mechanism has not been fully elucidated, and the optimal timing, dose and fractionation of RT are also under study. How to classify the beneficiary groups is also a key issue. In this article, the history of abscopal effect, and the role of RT and immunotherapy in this phenomenon were briefly introduced, and the existing controversies in clinical application were illustrated, aiming to clarify the direction of current research and development and open a new chapter for tumor treatment in a short period of time.

Objective:To compare safety and efficacy of one-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCBDE+ LC) with endoscopic retrodrade cholangiopancreatography plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ERCP+ LC) in elderly patients with concomitant gallbladder and common bile duct (CBD) stones.Methods:This is a two-center retrospective study with clinical data on 492 patients aged over 80 years diagnosed with concomitant gallbladder and CBD stones treated between January, 2014 and December, 2020 at The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and Quzhou Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University. There were 254 males and 238 females, aged (83.9±3.0) years. These patients were divided into two groups based on their operative methods: the one-stage group (LCBDE+ LC, n=186) and the two-stage group (ERCP+ LC, n=306). Differences in surgery, stones and hospitalization costs were compared between the two groups. Results:When compared with the ERCP+ LC group, the LCBDE+ LC group had significantly higher incidences of previous gastrectomy [21.5%(40/186) vs 4.2%(13/306)], multiple stones [77.4%(144/186) vs 49.3%(151/306)], larger stone diameter [13.7(6.4, 18.6)mm vs 10.9(5.7, 16.1) mm], and increased hospitalization expenditure [(2.37±0.31) Wanyuan vs (3.26±0.44) Wanyuan] (all P<0.05). However, the rates of residual stone [2.7%(5/186) vs 1.3%(4/306)], stone recurrence [2.2%(4/186) vs 5.2%(16/306)], postoperatively overall complications [3.2%(6/186) vs 1.3%(4/306)], and total hospital stay [(10.7±6.2) d vs (11.3±5.4) d] were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Allowing for the similar safety and effectiveness, and lower hospitalization expenditure, LCBDE+ LC was a preferred choice for patients aged over 80 year, especially in patients who had previous gastrectomy, multiple large CBD stones, or who could not accept endoscopic procedures for treatment of CBD stones.

Objective:To observe the difference in the effect of simple titanium plate internal fixation and titanium plate internal fixation combined with titanium nail intermaxillary traction in the treatment of jaw fractures and their impact on the oral and maxillofacial function of patients.Methods:From August 2016 to May 2021, 94 patients with jaw fractures admitted to the Department of Stomatology, Linyi Central Hospital, Shandong (supplementing the gender, age range and average age of the patients), were divided into 47 cases in the control group, and the titanium plates were used alone, combined operation group 47 cases, titanium plate internal fixation combined with intermaxillary traction with titanium nails. The changes of oral and maxillofacial function and fracture healing were measured before operation and 3 months after operation, and the perioperative indicators and postoperative complications were recorded.Results:Three months after operation, the scores of maxillofacial function, mouth function and masticatory function in the combined operation group (0.52±0.09 points, 0.67±0.12 points, 0.58±0.08 points) were significantly lower than those in the control group (1.05±0.21 points, 1.14±0.22 points, 1.02±0.21 points) ( t=15.90, 12.86, 13.42, P<0.05). The effective rate of the combined operation group was 95.74% (45/47), which was significantly higher than that of the control group (80.85%, 38/47) (χ 2=5.05, P<0.05); there was no significant difference in operation time and hospitalization time between the groups ( P>0.05), the fracture healing time in the combined surgery group (65.02±7.06) d was significantly shorter than that in the control group (82.69±10.25) d ( t=9.73, P<0.05). The postoperative complication rate of combined treatment group was 6.38% (3/47), which was significantly lower than the control group 21.28% (10/47) (χ 2=4.37, P<0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of jaw fractures, titanium plate internal fixation combined with titanium nail intermaxillary traction treatment can significantly improve the oral and maxillofacial function of patients, promote postoperative fracture healing, improve curative effect and reduce the incidence of complications compared with simple titanium plate internal fixation.
