ObjectiveTo explore the driving forces for oncology nurses’ participation in palliative care work, thereby providing a theoretical basis for the improvement of education and training, incentive mechanisms, and other aspects of the palliative care nursing staff. MethodsEmploying a qualitative research method, semi-structured interviews lasting 40-60 minutes were conducted with 14 nurses who had participated in palliative care work. The interview data were analyzed using the Colaizzi seven-step analysis method. ResultsInternal positive driving forces were job interest, empathy, and a sense of professional responsibility, while the negative was low psychological resilience. External positive driving forces included high work support, professional identity, mutual benefits for nurses and patients, and positive patient attitudes, whereas negative driving forces comprised busy routine clinical work, lack of a reward and incentive system, and bland or negative patient attitudes. ConclusionIt is essential to provide a flexible platform for the enhancement of nurses’ professional capabilities in palliative care, intensify the publicity of palliative care and death education; intervene and guide nurses’ negative emotions, improve and implement relevant incentive systems, and standardize the job recognition and scope of responsibilities of palliative care nurses.

OBJECTIVE To establish a whole-process quality management index system for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) reserved in the department of medical institutions, providing a reference for standardized management. METHODS An initial indicator framework was determined by collecting and analyzing relevant laws, regulations, policy documents, group standards, and literature on TCM management. Two rounds of Delphi expert consultation involving 20 experts were conducted to refine and optimize the indicator system. The analytic hierarchy process was used to construct judgment matrices and convert the indicator weights into a percentage-based system; an assessment was conducted on 14 departments with reserved TCM among the affiliated units of the Quality Management and Control Center for Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hebei Province. RESULTS The response rate for both rounds of consultation was 100%, with an expert authority coefficient of 0.89. The final quality management system of TCM reserved in the department included four first-level indicators: management (composite weight: 0.366 3), processing (composite weight: 0.119 7), storage (composite weight: 0.291 7) and usage (composite weight: 0.222 3), and twenty-four second-level indicators, such as establishing an organizational structure for hospital drug quality management and having dedicated regulations for backup drugs in clinical departments. Kendall’s coefficient of concordance confirmed consistency across all levels of indicators. Based on the application of the indicator system for evaluation, the average score for the standardized management of reserved TCM in the department of medical institutions increased from 67.01 points to 85.15 points over three months. CONCLUSIONS The constructed indicator system meets the standardized management requirements for reserved TCM, enabling closed-loop management across the entire process of management, processing, storage and usage. It provides a reference for medical institutions to enhance the precision and standardization of reserved TCM management.

To address the constrains imposed by insufficient hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and high glutathione (GSH) expression in tumor cells on the efficacy of chemodynamic therapy (CDT), zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) loaded with disulfiram (DSF) and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3-AT) was synthesized via a one-pot approach. Subsequently, hyaluronic acid (HA)-modified cupric peroxide (CuO2) was in-situ grown on its surface through biomineralization to construct a multifunctional copper-based nanozyme ADZCH (3-AT/DSF@ZIF-8@CuO2-HA). This nanoplatform disrupts the intratumoral H2O2 homeostasis, depletes GSH, and synchronously delivers DSF and Cu2+ via cascade catalysis, thereby enhancing CDT and sensitizing tumors to DSF-based chemotherapy. The results of physicochemical characterization indicated that ADZCH presented a uniform core-shell structure with favorable dispersibility. Its particle size and Zeta potential were 196.5 nm and −19.5 mV, respectively. It possessed a microporous structure with a specific surface area of 81.8600 m2/g, and demonstrated efficient loading capacity for DSF and 3-AT, achieving drug loading efficiencies of 5.91% and 45.07%, respectively. Moreover, ADZCH can continuously and slowly release drugs in an acidic environment and maintain good stability under diverse physiological conditions. In vitro functional assays verified that ADZCH catalytically generated H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals while concurrently depleting GSH in a concentration- and incubation time-dependent manner. Cellular uptake experiments showed that HA modification significantly improved the uptake of nanoparticles by 4T1 cells. Cytotoxicity tests showed that 80 μg/mL ADZCH had a significant cytotoxic effect on 4T1 cells but no significant toxicity on L929 cells. DCFH-DA probe detection indicated that ADZCH could significantly induce intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thereby enhancing CDT efficacy. Live/dead staining experiments showed that ADZCH efficiently induced apoptosis, with the proportion of dead cells reaching 94.74%, demonstrating its promising potential for anti-tumor applications.This study provides new research ideas and experimental basis for overcoming the tumor microenvironment barrier and enhancing the anti-tumor effect of CDT combined with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Obesity in children and adolescents is closely associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. Body mass index (BMI) is currently a widely used indicator for assessing obesity. However, it has limitations, such as reduced validity during growth and development and the inability to distinguish between fat and muscle mass. In recent years, the tri-ponderal mass index (TMI) has gained attention because of its relative stability during adolescence and its ability to more specifically reflect body fat levels. The review systematically summarizes recent research progress on the use of TMI in predicting body fat levels and cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents, indicating that TMI performs well in assessing body fat during adolescence and is superior or non-inferior to BMI in predicting cardiometabolic risk. However, the predictive ability of TMI is influenced by age, sex, and population differences, and unified diagnostic cutoffs have not yet been established. Future prospective cohort studies are needed to further validate the predictive value of TMI and establish population specific reference cutoffs.

Objective:
To explore the temporal variation in physical health status among college students, analyze the correlation and dose response relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical fitness indicators, so as to provide a scientific basis for physical health intervention among college students in universities.
Methods:
A total of 4 910 freshmen in the 2021 grade at Xi an Jiaotong University were selected. The BMI and changes in five physical fitness indicators (50 meter run, endurance run, standing long jump, sit and reach, and pull up or 1 minute sit up) were continuously assessed during follow up evaluations from 2021 to 2024. One way analysis of variance, generalized estimating equation (GEE), and other statistical methods were used to analyze the trends in temporal variation among the physical fitness indicators as well as the correlation characteristics and dose response relationship between BMI and physical fitness.
Results:
In 2021 the overweight and obesity rates among male freshmen were 20.36 % and 8.62%, respectively, and 12.91% and 2.91% among female freshman, respectively. From 2021 to 2024 the BMI of male and female students showed an upward trend with a significant increase( F =87.29,3.69,both P <0.05). The physical fitness indicators for both male and female students, including the 50 meter run, standing long jump, pull up and 1 minute sit up, first increased and then decreased, the endurance run performance decreased, and the sit and reach performance first decreased and then increased. The GEE model showed that BMI was negatively correlated with the performance of standing long jump, pullup/1 minute sit up, and sit and reach in both male and female students( β =-1.72,-0.34,-0.15;-0.94,-0.26,-0.12), and positively correlated with the time of 50 meter run and endurance run( β =0.05,3.16;0.03,1.86)(all P <0.05). The increase in BMI was associated with physical fitness decline in a non linear dose response relationship, while the sit and reach performance reached a peak at a BMI of approximately 22 kg/m 2, then decreased with the further increase in BMI.
Conclusions
A significant negative correlation is demonstrated between BMI and physical fitness indicators and male students are more sensitive to changes in BMI. College students should be guided to actively manage their weight and attach importance to physical exercise to improve their physical health.

ObjectiveTo explore the impact of comprehensive vocational rehabilitation on quality of life and return-to-work outcomes for individuals with mild work-related disability. MethodsA longitudinal observational study was conducted. A total of 343 work-injured employees receiving comprehensive vocational rehabilitation intervention in Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital from June, 2023 to December, 2024 were selected. The 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was adopted to assess their health-related quality of life at admission and discharge. All subjects were followed up within one year after discharge to collect their return-to-work status. The differences in each dimension score of SF-36 among patients with different return-to-work outcomes (return to original post, transfer to new post and non-return to work) were compared, and the independent influencing factors of return-to-work outcomes were identified. ResultsComprehensive vocational rehabilitation intervention significantly improved the scores of physical functioning (PF), role-physical (RP) and role-emotional (RE) among work-injured employees (P < 0.05). At discharge, compared with patients who failed to return to work, patients returning to original post obtained significantly higher scores in PF, RP, bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF) and mental health (MH), patients transferred to new post achieved significantly higher scores in PF, BP, GH and SF (P < 0.05). Taking non-return-to-work status as the reference category, the multinomial logistic regression model showed the adverse factors for return to original post included low educational attainment (college diploma or below), on-site placement service, increased lost workdays and low employment intention (pre-contemplation and contemplation stages); the protective factor was positive evaluation of health transition (HT); for patients transferred to new posts, adverse factors were low employment intention (pre-contemplation stage) and increased lost workdays, while protective factors covered on-site placement service and positive HT evaluation. ConclusionComprehensive vocational rehabilitation can improve the quality of life for injured workers. Better quality of life is positively associated with return-to-work outcomes. HT, education level, job placement mode, lost workdays and employment willingness are independent factors impacting return-to-work outcomes.
