[Objective] To investigate the factors associated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) abnormalities in multi-ethnic blood donors across five Zang autonomous prefectures in the plateau regions of Qinghai Province, and to provide evidence for ensuring blood safety and formulating screening strategies. [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on the ALT abnormal test results of blood donors in the Zang autonomous prefectures of Qinghai from 2022 to 2024. The correlations between ALT levels and factors including gender, age, altitude, and infectious markers were investigated. [Results] The overall ALT unqualified rate among blood donors in this region was 9.01%. Significant differences in ALT levels were observed across genders and age groups (P<0.05). Variations in ALT abnormality rates were also noted among different plateau regions (P<0.05). Overall, ALT values exhibited an increasing trend with rising altitude. The average ALT unqualified rates were 11.19% in Zang donors, 7.96% in Han donors, and 4.79% in donors from other ethnic groups (P<0.05). No statistically significant association was observed between ALT abnormality and the presence of HBV/HCV infectious markers (P>0.05). [Conclusion] In the plateau areas of Qinghai, multi-ethnic blood donors have a relatively high ALT levels and ALT unqualified rates, showing distinct regional characteristics. ALT elevation in voluntary blood donors is related to non-pathological factors such as gender, age, and dietary habits, but not to infectious indicators.

Objective To investigate the impact of donor kidney histopathological lesions on the risk of BK virus (BKV) infection and progression after kidney transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 326 kidney transplant recipients from deceased donors at the Department of Kidney Transplantation, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, from January 2019 to June 2020. The recipients were divided into two groups based on whether BKV infection occurred after kidney transplantation: the BKV infection group (145 cases) and the non-BKV infection group (181 cases). The correlation between donor kidney histopathological findings from zero-hour biopsy and BKV infection, as well as the impact on the risk and progression of BKV infection, was analyzed. Results The incidence of BKV infection among the 326 kidney transplant recipients was 44.5% (145/326). The clearance rate of BKV after infection was 82.1% (119/145), while 17.9% (26/145) progressed to BKV viremia. Among the 326 qualified kidney biopsy specimens, 32 cases showed mild tubular atrophy, 324 cases had mild acute tubular injury, 27 cases exhibited mild hyaline arteriosclerosis, 10 cases had moderate to severe hyaline arteriosclerosis, 7 cases showed mild interstitial inflammation, 23 cases had mild interstitial fibrosis, 6 cases exhibited mild arterial intimal fibrosis, and 1 case had moderate to severe arterial intimal fibrosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that male recipients, donor age and tubular atrophy were independent risk factors for BKV infection (all P<0.05). Tubular atrophy was also an independent risk factor for the progression from BKV uria to BKV viremia (P<0.05). Conclusions Donor kidney histopathological lesions have a certain impact on BKV infection and progression after kidney transplantation. Patients with more severe tubular atrophy in donor kidneys have a higher risk of BKV infection after kidney transplantation and are more likely to progress to BKV viremia.

Background Under the backdrop of the national innovation-driven development strategy, the increasing occupational stress and job burnout among employees are noteworthy for their impact on employees' subjective well-being. Objective To clarify the status, distribution characteristics, and the relationship between subjective well-being, occupational stress, and job burnout of employees in research and development (R&D) enterprises, in order to improve their subjective well-being. Methods A total of 3366 employees from R&D departments at 7 enterprises in Minhang District of Shanghai were selected. The well-being level of the research subjects was investigated by using the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) that yielded total scores from 0 to 25, and a higher total score indicated a higher well-being level; the levels of occupational stress and job burnout were investigated by using the Chinese version of the Job Content Questionnaire, and the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). The scores of WHO-5, JDC, and MBI-GS were incorporated into structural equation modeling (SEM) as numerical variables to analyze their relationship. Results The scores of subjective well-being, occupational stress, and job burnout of employees in the R&D enterprises were 13.30±6.09, 1.12±0.45, and 2.18±1.12, respectively. The positive rates of occupational stress and job burnout were 44.4% and 70.9% respectively, and the positive rate of severe job burnout was 11.7%. There were statistically significant differences in the score of subjective well-being among the participants by gender, age, educational level, marital status, registered residence, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of occupational stress by gender, educational level, marital status, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in the positive rate of job burnout by gender, age, educational level, marital status, registered residence, working seniority, and jobs (P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between subjective well-being and occupational stress (r=−0.1747, P < 0.01), a negative correlation between subjective well-being and job burnout (r=−0.2987, P < 0.01), and a positive correlation between occupational stress and job burnout (r=0.3342, P < 0.01). A structural equation containing partial mediating effect of job burnout on the relationship between occupational stress and subjective well-being was established, and the partial effect accounting for 52.5% of the total effect. Conclusion The job burnout among employees in R&D companies partially mediates the impact of occupational stress on subjective well-being. Reducing the level of job burnout will help alleviate occupational stress and thus improve employees' subjective well-being.

【Objective】 To explore the value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in the prediction of inguinal lymph node metastasis of penile cancer to provide a new idea for the clinical evaluation. 【Methods】 A total of 48 patients with penile cancer who received surgical treatment in our hospital during Jan. 2016 and Dec. 2021 were selected and divided into the metastatic group (n=19) and non-metastatic group (n=29). The number of neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelets were recorded, and NLR and PLR were calculated. The value of NLR and PLR in predicting inguinal lymph node metastasis was analyzed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The correlation between NLR and PLR was determined with Pearson correlation analysis. 【Results】 The levels of NLR and PLR were significantly higher in the metastatic group than in the non-metastatic group (P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the optimal cut-off value of NLR was 2.39, the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.838 (95%CI:0.730-0.947), with sensitivity of 94.7% and specificity of 58.6%, respectively. The optimal cut-off value of PLR was 113.66, the AUC was 0.755 (95%CI:0.618-0.892), with sensitivity of 89.5% and specificity of 58.6%, respectively. The AUC of the two combined together was 0.851 (95%CI:0.747-0.956), with sensitivity of 89.5% and specificity of 69.0%. The Pearson correlation analysis showed that NLR was positively correlated with PLR in patients in both groups (r=0.504, r=0.645, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Preoperative NLR and PLR levels are significantly increased in patients with penile cancer,and the combination of the two indexes can predict the possibility of inguinal lymph node metastasis.

Objective To assess the tear film stability and morphological characteristics of the tarsal gland in myopic children.Methods In this prospective descriptive study,myopic children who performed refractive examinations in the Pediatric Ophthalmology & Refraction Clinic,Jinan Mingshui Eye Hospital from November 2021 to November 2022 were in-cluded.An Ocular Surface Disease Index(OSDI)questionnaire survey was carried out;tear meniscus height(TMH),non-invasive first breakup time(NIf-BUT)and images of the tarsal glands were obtained by OCULUS Keratograph 5M compre-hensive ocular surface analyzer.In addition,the atrophy and tortuosity of tarsal glands were scored to analyze the tear film stability and clinical characteristics of tarsal glands in myopic children.Results A total of 48 myopic children(91 eyes)aged from 7 to 16(10.25±2.23)years were recruited,including 27 males(56.25％)and 21 females(43.75％).The aver-age TMH was(0.19±0.04)mm(95％CI:0.18-0.19)and the average NIf-BUT was(5.40±2.62)s(95％CI:4.90-5.94);the TMH was positively correlated with NIf-BUT(r=0.223,P=0.034).The tarsal gland atrophy score was 1(0,1).The tortuosity score of the upper and lower tarsal gland was 0(0,1)and 0(0,0),respectively,with a statistically significant difference(Z=3.692,P＜0.001).In all subjects,49 eyes(53.85％)had tarsal gland atrophy,and 37 eyes(40.66％)had tarsal gland tortuosity.There were significant differences in TMH and NIf-BUT between children aged＜12 years and children aged ≥12 years(both P＜0.05).There was a significant difference in TMH between children with an OSDI score＜13 and children with an OSDI score ≥ 13(t=2.305,P=0.026).There was a significant difference in NIf-BUT between mild and moderate myopia children(t=2.300,P=0.024);the spherical equivalent was positively correlated with NIf-BUT(r=0.283,P=0.023).Conclusion Children with mild to moderate myopia show low tear film stability and a certain proportion of abnormal morphology in tarsal glands.In addition to the refractive status of children,attention should also be paid to ocular surface health in the refraction clinic.

Objective:To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with cognitive function training on improving cognitive and psychological and behavioral symptoms in patients with vascular dementia.Methods:A total of 80 patients with vascular dementia who received treatment at The Third People's Hospital of Huzhou from October 2020 to October 2022 were included in this study. They were divided into a control group and an observation group ( n = 40 per group) based on different treatment methods. The control group received repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, while the observation group received both repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and cognitive function training. Both groups were treated continuously for 4 weeks. The scores of The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (BE-HAVE-AD), Activities of Daily Living (ADL), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) of the two groups were analyzed before and after treatment. Additionally, serum levels of homocysteine and neuron-specific enolase in both groups were compared before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy of the two groups was evaluated, and the total response rate was calculated. Adverse reactions occurring during the treatment period in both groups were also recorded. Results:Before treatment, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores for the control and observation groups were (14.92 ± 2.43) points and (14.83 ± 2.56) points, respectively. After treatment, the scores were (22.81 ± 3.05) points for the control group and (25.62 ± 4.07) points for the observation group. After treatment, the MMSE scores in both groups were significantly higher than the respective levels before treatment in the corresponding group, and the observation group had a significantly higher score than the control group ( t = 2.25, P < 0.05). Before treatment, the BE-HAVE-AD scores for the control and observation groups were (45.28 ± 6.27) points and (44.95 ± 6.38) points, respectively. After treatment, the scores were (27.54 ± 2.22) points for the control group and (23.07 ± 1.79) points for the observation group. After treatment, the BE-HAVE-AD scores were significantly lower than those before treatment in each group, and the observation group had a significantly lower score than the control group ( t = 9.56, P < 0.05). Before treatment, the ADL scores for the control and observation groups were (23.17 ± 1.43) points and (22.83 ± 1.64) points, respectively. After treatment, the scores were (38.27 ± 3.25) points for the control group and (41.52 ± 4.26) points for the observation group. After treatment, the ADL scores in each group were significantly higher than their respective levels before treatment, and the observation group had a significantly higher score than the control group ( t = 3.83, P < 0.05). Before treatment, the PSQI scores for the control and observation groups were (16.423 ± 1.51) points and (15.86 ± 1.49) points, respectively. After treatment, the scores were (9.16 ± 1.12) points for the control group and (7.07 ± 1.07) points for the observation group. After treatment, the PSQI scores were significantly lower than those before treatment in each group, and the observation group had a significantly lower score than the control group ( t = 8.53, P < 0.05). Before treatment, the serum levels of homocysteine in the control and observation groups were (54.27 ± 8.21) ng/L and (55.13 ± 7.64) ng/L, respectively, while the serum levels of neuron-specific enolase in these two groups were (59.66 ± 9.51) μg/L and (60.97 ± 10.29) μg/L, respectively. After treatment, the serum levels of homocysteine in the control and observation groups were (30.63 ± 1.95) ng/L and (25.57 ± 2.06) ng/L, respectively, and the serum levels of neuron-specific enolase in these two groups were (49.23 ± 6.12) μg/L and (37.21 ± 7.01) μg/L, respectively. After treatment, the serum levels of homocysteine and neuron-specific enolase in each group were significantly lower than the respective levels before treatment in the corresponding group; the observation group exhibited significantly lower serum levels of homocysteine and neuron-specific enolase than the control group ( t = 11.28, 8.16, both P < 0.05). The total response rate in the observation group was 95.00% (38/40), which was significantly higher than that in the control group [72.50% (29/40), P < 0.05]. The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 5.00% (2/40), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [20.00% (8/40), χ2 = 7.44, P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with cognitive function training can more effectively improve cognitive and psychological and behavioral symptoms in patients with vascular dementia, has better efficacy, and is safer compared with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation alone.

Objective:To explore the latent categories of outpatient nurses' conflict management styles and analyze their influencing factors.Methods:A total of 408 outpatient nurses from six hospitals of Jiangsu Province were selected as study participants by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory Scale, the Nurse Burnout Scale, the Caring Ability Inventory Scale and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to classify the conflict management styles of outpatient nurses, and logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the influencing factors of different categories.Results:A total of 408 questionnaires were distributed, and 372 valid responses were received, with an effective response rate of 91.18%. Outpatient nurses' conflict management styles were divided into two categories: the "Integration-Concession Group" and the "Dominance-Avoidance Group." Logistic regression analysis showed that being an only child, receiving interpersonal communication training, nurse burnout, humanistic care ability, and emotional intelligence were significant influencing factors of the latent categories of conflict management styles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is heterogeneity in outpatient nurses' conflict management styles. It is recommended that nursing administrators adopt a comprehensive approach, conduct thorough assessments of nurses' general conditions and personality traits, guide nurses toward adopting positive conflict management methods, and enhance their abilities in problem-solving and conflict resolution. This can improve interpersonal relationships and work efficiency in medical settings, stabilize the outpatient nursing workforce, and improve the overall quality of nursing services.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To compare the set up errors derived from different registration methods of the X-ray volume imaging (XVI) system for radiotherapy in the treatment of middle/lower-segment esophageal cancer, and to provide a reference for radiation treatment of esophageal cancer. Methods We randomly selected 63 patients with middle/lower-segment esophageal cancer, and obtained their reconstructed XVI images at the first therapy to perform automatic registration with gray-value and bone registration methods. We acquired and compared the three translation errors (along x [left to right], y [head to feet], and z [front to back] axes) and three rotation errors (around the x, y, and z axes) derived from the two registration methods. Results Gray-value registration had significantly smaller translation errors along the x and z axes than bone registration (x azes t = −2.78, z azes t = −2.15, P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference along the y axes (P > 0.05). The rotation errors around the three axes were all smaller than 1°, and were smaller with gray-value registration than with bone registration, but without significant differences (P > 0.05). Conclusion We recommend gray-value registration for radiotherapy in the treatment of middle/lower-segment esophageal cancer. Manual verification or fine-tuning is recommended after automatic registration in clinical practice. Besides translation errors, rotation errors should also be paid attention to.
