Purpose: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the Trauma-nursing Education and Skill Support (TESS) program based on the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation model). The program was designed to enhance trauma nurses’ clinical competencies, including trauma-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and problem-solving ability, through the integration of theoretical education and simulation-based practice. Methods: A quasi-experimental study using a non-equivalent control group pretest–posttest design was conducted. Participants included 108 trauma nurses from regional trauma centers, military trauma centers, and emergency care facilities, who were assigned to an experimental group (n=52) or a control group (n=56). The TESS program consisted of a 2-day, 14-hour blended-learning course that included eight lecture sessions and four simulation-based practice stations. Data were collected at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and at 6 months using validated instruments measuring trauma-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and problem-solving ability. Two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance was used for data analysis. Results: The experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in trauma-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and problem-solving ability compared with baseline (all p<.001). These improvements were sustained at 6 months, although trauma-related knowledge scores showed a slight decline compared with immediate posttest levels. Between-group analyses confirmed significant group-by-time interaction effects for all outcomes: trauma-related knowledge (η2=0.12, p<.001), self-efficacy (η2=0.09, p=.002), and problem-solving ability (η2=0.08, p=.003). Conclusion The TESS program effectively enhanced trauma nurses’ trauma-related knowledge, self-efficacy, and problem-solving ability, with effects sustained for up to 6 months. Incorporating blended learning and simulation-based training into standardized trauma nursing education may strengthen clinical competencies and ultimately contribute to improved patient outcomes.

Hyperlipidemia is a common metabolic disorder driven by dysregulated lipid metabolism， whose pathological progression involves multifaceted interactions across various signaling pathways， including disrupted cholesterol homeostasis， insulin resistance， chronic inflammation， and oxidative stress. Although existing clinical medications such as statins can effectively reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol through single-target inhibition， significant limitations remain in comprehensively improving reverse cholesterol transport， metabolic inflammation， and coordinated regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism. Curcumin， the primary polyphenolic active compound derived from the traditional medicinal herb turmeric， exhibits multi-dimensional pharmacological effects including modulation of lipid metabolism， improvement of insulin sensitivity， suppression of inflammatory responses， and enhancement of antioxidant defense. This review systematically integrates the multi-target regulatory network of curcumin， elucidating its key mechanisms： Balancing the low density lipoprotein receptor/proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 （LDLR/PCSK9） signaling pathway to promote reverse cholesterol transport， activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α/γ （PPARα/γ） signaling pathways to coordinate glucolipid metabolic homeostasis， remodeling the gut microbiota-bile acid axis， inhibiting nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）-mediated inflammatory responses， and activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element （Nrf2/ARE） antioxidant signaling pathway. Furthermore， supported by clinical research data， the review validates curcumin's therapeutic potential in reducing total cholesterol （TC） and triglyceride （TG） levels， increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， as well as improving vascular endothelial function and insulin sensitivity. The study highlights the multi-target regulatory properties of curcumin and discusses future clinical applications based on nano-delivery systems and personalized treatment strategies， providing a theoretical basis and novel insights for the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and related metabolic disorders.

Objective:To investigate the mutations of TP53 and KRAS genes in the patients with six common types of digestive system tumors,including colorectal cancer(COAD),cholangiocarcinoma(CHOL),gallbladder cancer(GBC),liver hepatocellular carcinoma(LIHC),stomach adenocarcinoma(STAD),and pancreatic adenocarcinoma(PAAD),and to analyze the relationships between TP53 and KRAS gene mutations and clinical pathological characteristics,tumor mutation burden(TMB),and microsatellite instability(MSI)of the patients.Methods:The pathological paraffin or biopsy samples of 112 patients from January 2022 to December 2023 diagnosed with six types of tumors based on imaging and pathology were collected.Hybrid capture-based gene sequencing technology was used to detect TP53 and KRAS gene mutations in the patients with different types of tumors;mutation landscapes of common digestive system tumor samples were constructed.The patients were divided into high and low TMB groups according to the TMB levels.The mutation statuses of TP53 and KRAS genes in the patients with different types of digestive system tumors were compared,and the TP53 and KRAS gene mutations in the patients with different clinicopathological characteristics were examined.Results:A total of 276 mutations were detected in the 112 samples,with the highest mutation rate in TP53 gene(67％),followed by KARS gene(34％).TP53 gene mutation was most prominent in COAD,followed by LIHC,while KRAS gene mutation was most significant in PAAD.TP53 gene mutation mainly occurred in exons 5-8,while the KRAS gene mutation primarily occurred in exon 2.There was no statistically significant difference in TP53 gene mutation rate among the six types of digestive system tumors(P＞0.05),while the KRAS gene mutation rate showed statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).The mutation rates of TP53 and KRAS gene co-mutation also showed statistically significant difference among the six types of tumors(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in TP53 and KRAS gene mutation rates between the patients with high TMB and low TMB(P＜0.05),while there were no statistically significant differences in TP53 and KRAS mutation rates between the patients with different sex,age,tumor size,differentiation degree,TNM stage,lymph node and/or distant metastasis and MSI(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The mutation rates of TP53 and KRAS genes are higher in common digestive system tumors,which are related to tumor types and TMB.

This study aimed to address the limitations of current diagnostic methods for well leg compartment syndrome(WLCS),including invasiveness,high costs,and insufficient accuracy,by proposing a solution based on electrical impedance tomography(EIT)technology.The electrical response characteristics of the human calf muscle to changes in compartment pressure using EIT were investigated,aiming to visualize the effects of pressure variations on the electrical properties within the compartment and to provide technical support for early non-invasive detection of WLCS.EIT sensors were placed on the right calf of the experimental subjects,with pressure applied externally to the right thigh.Measurements were conducted in two phases:pre-pressure(pre)and post-pressure(post).Pre-pressure,the conductivity distribution image σpre was measured when the calf was placed horizontally.Post-pressure,the calf was raised at an angle of approximately 30°,and pressures of 0,40,80,and 120 mmHg were applied to the right thigh,and the corresponding conductivity distribution images σP=0,σP=40,σP=80,andσP=120were recorded.To quantitatively analyze the pressure effects on the compartment response,paired sample t-test was used to assess the spatial-mean conductivity((σ))from the EIT reconstructed images.Compared to the horizontal position of the right calf,raising the calf at approximately 30° resulted in a significant increase in the spatial-mean conductivity(σ)of the M1 compartment.Furthermore,when pressure was applied to the right thigh while the calf remained at a 30° angle,the spatial-mean conductivity of the M1 compartment σM1 showed an increasing trend with rising pressure.The results indicated that as compartment pressure increased,the volume of extracellular fluid and ion concentration significantly increased,leading to an increase in conductivity,which reflected ischemia and hypoxia in muscle tissue and the related pathophysiological changes.EIT,due to its high sensitivity to conductivity changes,offered a potential effective diagnostic method for non-invasively monitoring the onset and progression of muscle compartment syndrome.

Objective To investigate the application effect of transumbilical single-port laparoscopic technique in the treatment of complex appendicitis in children.Methods A total of 106 children with complex appendicitis admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to August 2023 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into the observation group(53 cases)and the control group(53 cases).Transumbilical single-port laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy was performed in children of the observation group,and open appendectomy was performed in children of the control group.The perioperative indexes,Alvarado score,serum inflammation indexes and postoperative complications of children were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The intraoperative blood loss,length of hospital stay,time of the first postoperative exhaust,time of the first postoperative eating,and time of the first postoperative defecation of children in the observation group were significantly less/shorter than those in the control group(P<0.05);while there was no statistically significant difference in operation time of children between the two groups(P>0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in Alvarado total score,symptom dimension score,sign dimension score or laboratory index dimension score of children before and 3 days after surgery between the two groups(P>0.05).The serum levels of serum interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT)of children 48 hours after surgery in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the traditional open appendectomy,transumbilical single-port laparoscopic-assisted appendectomy for the treatment of complex appendicitis in children has less trauma,faster postoperative recovery and fewer complications.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of cleaning and disinfection of medical bedding items in public medical institutions of Liangshan ethnic minority area and analyze the risk of infections so as to provide ba-ses for optimizing the infection control strategies in the ethnic minority area.METHODS On the basis of question-naire survey,onsite sampling method and bacterial isolation and identification technique,a cross-sectional survey was conducted for the current status of cleaning and disinfection of medical bedding items in 15 different grades of public medical institutions of Liangshan ethnic minority area by stratified random sampling method from Sep.2021 to Sep.2023.RESULTS A total of 66 valid questionnaire were recycled,and 540 bedding item samples were col-lected.Totally 93.33％of the medical institutions relied on laundries for centralized cleaning of the medical bed-ding items.The implementation rates of management items such as policy formulation(100.00％)and pre-job training were remarkably higher in the tertiary hospitals than in the secondary and primary hospitals(allP＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the qualified rates of surveillance of microbiological indexes for the medical bedding items among the medical institutions,the qualified rate of surveillance of microbiological inde-xes was highest(71.30％)in the general hospitals and was lowest(61.11％)in the infectious diseases specialized hospital.The qualified rate of surveillance of microbiological indexes was lowest(3.33％)in pediatrics department or internal medicine department,and it raised most remarkably(80.00％)after the disinfection,and there was significant difference(x2=36.274,P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS The current status of disinfection of the medical bedding items is not optimistic in the medical institutions of Liangshan ethnic minority area.There are the prob-lems such as imperfect system,insufficient equipment and absence of personnel training.It is necessary to com-plete the execution and supervision system for cleaning and disinfection standards,increase the cleaning facilities,promote the use of antibacterial textile and bring in smart management system so as to improve the cleaning and disinfection quality and reduce the risk of hospital-associated infections.

Mechanical pain is one of the most common causes of clinical pain, but there remains a lack of effective treatment for debilitating mechanical and chronic forms of neuropathic pain. Recently, neurotoxin GsMTx4, a selective mechanosensitive (MS) channel inhibitor, has been found to be effective, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, with multiple rodent pain models, we demonstrated that a GsMTx4-based 17-residue peptide, which we call P10581, was able to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and neuropathic pain. The analgesic effects of P10581 can be as strong as morphine but is not toxic in animal models. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of the peptide was resistant to naloxone (an μ-opioid receptor antagonist) and showed no side effects of morphine, including tolerance, motor impairment, and conditioned place preference. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPV4 by P10581 in a heterogeneous expression system, combined with the use of Trpv4 knockout mice indicates that TRPV4 channels may act as the potential target for the analgesic effect of P10581. Our study identified a potential drug for curing mechanical pain and exposed its mechanism.

Objective:To evaluate the effect and causality of serum metabolites on the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC), so as to provide reference for nutritional programs for patients with UC.Methods:Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to estimate the causal relationship between serum metabolites and UC. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 1 400 metabolites were performed, with the metabolites as exposure and UC as outcome. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was used to calculate causal estimates. Four other MR methods with different modeling assumptions including MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted mode, and simple mode were used as additional analyses to improve the stability of the results. The results were validated through heterogeneity and pleiotropy tests. Finally, the possible causal metabolites were analyzed by metabolic pathway analysis.Results:MR analysis revealed that 85 metabolites had a possible causal relationship with UC. Among them, phosphatidylglycerol 1,2-dipalmitoyl-gpc (DPPC) ( P=2.75×10 -6) and isovaleryl carnitine (C5) ( P=1.84×10 -5) were significant risk factors for UC. Metabolic pathway analysis identified 5 metabolic pathways that might be affected by these metabolites (all P<0.05), among which the porphyrin ( P=0.004) and pyrimidine metabolic pathways ( P=0.008) had higher confidence in impacting UC. Conclusions:There are causal relationships between some serum metabolites (in particular 1,2-dipalmitoyl-GPC and isovalerylcarnitine) and the risk of UC. The porphyrin and pyrimidine metabolic pathways may impact the pathogenesis of UC.

Objective:To investigate the effects of thoracolumbar vertebral fracture with incomplete spinal cord injury on male sexual function and postoperative prognosis.Methods:A retrospective review was conducted on data from 144 male patients with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures and incomplete spinal cord injuries treated between May 2009 and May 2021 in the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics at Peking University Third Hospital. Patients ranged in age from 19 to 55 years (mean: 38.6±10.6 years) and underwent posterior incision and reduction internal fixation. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT), and the International Spinal Cord Injury Male Sexual Function Basic Data Set were used for sexual function evaluation. Based on the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Spinal Cord Injury classification, changes in neurological and sexual function were assessed at the pre-injury stage, 3 months post-injury, 2 years postoperatively, and at the final follow-up. Factors influencing sexual dysfunction and recovery were analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was used to identify factors affecting sexual function injury and recovery.Results:A total of 117 patients were included in the final analysis. Follow-up duration ranged from 26.2 to 161.7 months (mean: 74.6±40.5 months). After injury, ASIA grades were distributed as follows: 43 patients with grade B, 41 with grade C, and 33 with grade D. At the 2-year follow-up, 30 patients were grade E, 63 grade D, 19 grade C, and 5 grade B. Improvement in ASIA classification was observed in 90.6% (106/117) of patients: 79 improved by one grade, 27 by two grades, 8 remained unchanged, 1 worsened by one grade, and 2 worsened by two grades. Mean IIEF-5 scores were 19.5±6.4 pre-injury, 8.7±8.0 at 3 months post-injury, and 17.5±7.1 at 2 years postoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( F=123.247, P<0.001). Differences between 3 months post-injury vs. pre-injury and 2 years postoperatively vs. 3 months post-injury were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Mean PEDT scores were 5.3±3.1 pre-injury, 6.9±5.2 at 3 months post-injury, and 6.4±5.1 at 2 years postoperatively, with statistically significant differences ( F=17.014, P<0.001). The difference between 3 months post-injury and pre-injury was statistically significant ( P<0.05), but not between 2 years postoperatively and 3 months post-injury ( P>0.05). At the 2-year follow-up, 96 patients had their IIEF-5 classification restored to pre-injury levels, 85 restored PEDT classifications, and 83 restored both. Post-injury ASIA classification was positively correlated with a decrease in IIEF-5 score and an increase in PEDT score at 3 months post-injury ( P<0.05). Injury segment was positively correlated with the decrease in IIEF-5 score ( P<0.05). Time from injury to surgery showed a positive correlation with increased PEDT score at 3 months ( P<0.05). Post-injury ASIA grade, injury segment, time to surgery, age, intraoperative decompression, and spinal cord function recovery all showed significant correlations with changes in IIEF-5 and (or) PEDT scores at 2 years postoperatively ( P<0.05). According to the International Spinal Cord Injury Male Sexual Function Basic Data Set, the proportion of patients willing to discuss sexual issues increased from 29.9% at 3 months post-injury to 47.9% at 2 years postoperatively ( P<0.05). The proportion of patients with absent or diminished psychogenic erections remained stable (48.7% vs. 48.9%, P>0.05), while those with normal reflexive erections increased from 34.2% to 65.0% ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Thoracolumbar fractures with incomplete spinal cord injury result in reduced erectile function and increased incidence of premature ejaculation. The degree of spinal cord injury and the level of the injured segment are strongly correlated with the extent of sexual dysfunction. At the 2-year postoperative follow-up, 70.9% of patients had recovered sexual function to pre-injury levels.
