Objective:To compare the policies and literature on scope of nurse practice in various countries, so as to provide reference for optimizing the expansion of scope of nurse practice in China.Methods:Literature on nurse practice was systematically searched on PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and nursing policy organization websites in various countries. The search period was from database establishment to June 2023.Results:A total of 19 articles from six countries were included. There were elements such as registration types and requirements, practice methods, prescription authority, supervision departments, and relevant laws. The inspiration for the hierarchical management of nurses in China mainly included four aspects: improving the hierarchical registration and management system, clarifying the job responsibilities of nurses; guiding the reasonable flow of nursing talents, encouraging multi-site practice in nurses; cultivating nurses' prescription ability and granting them prescription authority; improving supervision and legal protection to ensure that nurses practiced in accordance with the law.Conclusions:It is urgent to expand the practice scope of the nursing team in our country, supplement grassroots medical and health talents, undertake the functions of case management for chronic patients, improve the quality of life of patients, and meet the important task of community and family nursing needs.

Objective:To gain a deep understanding of the current cognition and training needs of nursing undergraduates regarding their emergency response teamwork skills, and to provide reference for the development of courses on emergency response teamwork among nursing undergraduates.Methods:From September to October 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 15 senior nursing undergraduates from Peking Union Medical College, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and Beijing City University as subjects for semi-structured interviews. Colazizzi 7-step analysis method was used to summarize and extract themes.Results:Three themes were extracted, including insufficient cognition and skill in emergency response, lack of emergency response teamwork cultivation, and the need for systematic and comprehensive training courses.Conclusions:Universities, hospitals, and other training institutions should work together to develop a systematic emergency response teamwork training course for nursing undergraduates, to cultivate the skills of nursing undergraduates and reserve talents for high-quality emergency response nursing teams.

Objective To observe the effect of Renshen(ginseng)-Yuzhu(fragrant solomonseal rhizome)on inflammatory factors and inflammasomes in depression rats,and to explore the antidepressant mechanism of Renshen-Yuzhu.Methods Fifty male SD rats were divided into the blank group,model group,fluoxetine group(2.1 mg/kg),Renshen-Yuzhu low-dose group(1.89 g/kg),and Renshen-Yuzhu high-dose group(5.67 g/kg),with ten rats in each group.Except for the blank group,the rats in the other groups were treated with chronic unpredictable mild stress to establish a depression rat model.On the second day after the end of modeling,the rats in each group were given the corresponding drugs once daily for 14 days.After modeling and dosing,body weight,forced swimming immobility time,and sucrose preference rate were measured.After dosing,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to detect neuronal damage in the cerebral cortex,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the contents of interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-23(IL-23),and interleukin-27(IL-27)in cortex,real-time PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of interleukin-24(IL-24)in cortex,and the protein expressions of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 1(NLRP1),absent in melanoma 2(AIM2),and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 4(NLRC4)were detected by Western blotting.Results After dosing,compared with the blank group,the body weight of the model group decreased,the sucrose preference rate decreased,the swimming immobility time was prolonged,the neuronal tissue in cortex was destroyed,the content of IL-4 in cortex decreased,the contents of IL-23 and IL-27 in cortex increased,and the protein expressions of NLRP1,AIM2 and NLRC4 in cortex increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the body weight of rats in each administration group increased,the sucrose preference rate increased,the swimming immobility time was shortened,the damage of neuronal tissues in cortex improved,the content of IL-4 in cortex increased,the contents of IL-23 and IL-27 in cortex decreased,and the protein expressions of NLRP 1,AIM2 and NLRC4 in cortex decreased(P＜0.05).Conclusion Renshen-Yuzhu couplet medicines can improve the depressive-like behavior and exert antidepressant effect in chronic stress rats,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NLRP 1,NLRC4,AIM2 inflammasome activation and its mediated inflammatory response in cortex,reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines,and increasing the level of antiinflammatory cytokines.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the number of positive preoperative serological tumor markers on the surgical approach and prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods:This is a retrospective case-series study. Data from 548 patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma after radical resection from October 2010 to April 2019 were retrospectively collected in 10 hospitals of China. There were 277 males and 271 females with an age of (57.8±10.2)years(range:23 to 84 years). Four hundred and twenty-six patients(77.7%) had at least one positive preoperative serum tumor marker. The data collection included the results of 4 preoperative serological tumor markers,other preoperative indicators(5 prodromal symptoms, 6 medical history,8 preoperative serological indicators,5 preoperative imaging indicators,and 14 preoperative pathological examination indicators),baseline data (gender and age),surgical methods,and prognostic follow-up data. Four preoperative results of serologic tumor marker and surgical procedure were converted into categorical variables. The number of positive preoperative serum tumor markers was used as the treatment variable,the surgical method was used as the mediating variable,and the survival time was used as the outcome variable. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to screen for other preoperative indicators which were independent factors that influenced the surgical procedure and the prognosis of patients as covariates to analyze the mediating effect.Results:Of the 548 patients included in the study, 176 patients (32.1%) underwent partial hepatectomy,151 patients(27.5%) underwent hemihepatectomy, and 221 patients(40.3%) underwent partial hepatectomy or hemihepatectomy combined with other treatments. The results of the univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers,intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,portal vein invasion,pathological differentiation,pathological type,vascular invasion,T stage,N stage and maximum tumor diameter were independent factors influencing the surgical procedure(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,pathological differentiation and T stage were independent prognostic factors for patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(all P<0.05). Intrahepatic bile duct dilatation,differentiation and T stage were included as covariates in the mediation effect model. The results showed that the number of positive serum tumor markers before surgery had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.092, P=0.039),and had a positive predictive effect on the surgical method ( β=0.244, P<0.01). The number of positive serum tumor markers had a negative predictive effect on the survival time of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma ( β=-0.151, P=0.002). Direct and indirect effects accounted for 71.3% and 28.7% of total effects,respectively. Conclusions:The higher the positive number of preoperative tumor markers,the worse the prognosis of patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The number of positive cells not only directly affects the prognosis of patients,but also indirectly affects the prognosis of patients by affecting the surgical method.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine the reasons for conversion and elucidate the safety and efficacy of transition to tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/bictegravir sodium (TAF/FTC/BIC) in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)-experienced HIV-infected patients in real-world settings. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. The treatment conversion rationales, safety, and effectiveness in 1684 HIV-infected patients with previous HAART experience who switched to TAF/FTC/BIC were evaluated at Beijing Ditan Hospital from September 2021 to Auguest 2022. RESULTS: Regimen simplification (990/1684, 58.79%) was the most common reason for switching, followed by osteoporosis or osteopenia (375/1684, 22.27%), liver dysfunction (231/1684, 13.72%), decline in tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/elvitegravir/cobicistat (TAF/FTC/EVG/c) with food restriction (215/1684, 12.77%), virological failure (116/1684, 6.89%), and renal dysfunction (90/1684, 5.34%). In patients receiving non-nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI)-containing regimens, lipid panel changes 1 year after switching indicated a difference of 3.27 ± 1.10 mmol/L vs . 3.40 ± 1.59 mmol/L in triglyceride ( P  = 0.014), 4.82 ± 0.74 mmol/L vs . 4.88 ± 0.72 mmol/L in total cholesterol ( P  = 0.038), 3.09 ± 0.70 mmol/L vs . 3.18 ± 0.66 mmol/L in low-density lipoprotein ( P  <0.001), and 0.99 ± 0.11 mmol/L vs . 0.95 ± 0.10 mmol/L in high-density lipoprotein ( P  <0.001). Conversely, among patients receiving booster-containing regimens, including TAF/FTC/EVG/c and lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r), lipid panel changes presented decreased trends. We also observed an improved trend in viral load suppression, and alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and serum creatinine levels after the transition ( P  <0.001). CONCLUSION The transition to TAF/FTC/BIC demonstrated good treatment potency. Furthermore, this study elucidates the motivations behind the adoption of TAF/FTC/BIC in real-world scenarios, providing clinical evidence supporting the stable conversion to TAF/FTC/BIC for HAART-experienced patients.

Objective: To study the diagnostic accuracy and the distance between the root of maxillary posterior tooth and the maxillary sinus using panoramic radiography and cone beam computer tomography; to provide basic information for clinicians to treat diseases in the maxillary posterior region. Methods: Eighty patients were included in this study. A total of 671 specimens were measured for the distance between the root tip and the maxillary sinus floor in both imaging modalities. Results : The roots that did not contact the sinus floor or contacted but did not project into the sinus cavity showed an agreement of 82% and 70% when using panoramic radiography. Forty-eight percent of the roots that projected into the sinus cavity in panoramic radiography showed protrusion into the sinus with cone beam computer tomography (CBCT). For panoramic radiography and CBCT showing root projections into the sinus cavity, the average distances were 2.19 ± 1.82 mm and 1.47 ± 1.01 mm, respectively. There was a significant difference between the two values (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Panoramic radiography is more accurate when roots of maxillary posterior teeth do not contact the sinus floor or contact it. However, it has a lower accuracy rate when the tooth roots protrude into the sinus.
