Objective:To evaluate the knowledge of autism among child health care professionals in primary health care institutions.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional survey. An online questionnaire survey was conducted from February to March 2023 in primary health care institutions in Guangzhou to investigate the knowledge on autism among medical staff engaged in children′s health services and the influencing factors.Results:A total of 341 questionnaires were returned and 312 questionnaires were valid with a recovery rate of 91.5%. The age of 312 respondents was (35.9±7.9) years, of which 303 (97.1%) were female. One hundred and fifty-two (48.7%) child health care professionals in primary health care institutions had received specialist training in assessing the psychological and behavioral development of children, and only 139 (44.6%) reported that they were aware of the"five no"principle for early identification of autism. The questionnaire scores were 88.1% pass (275/312) and 53.2% excellent (166/312). The three questions with low accuracy were: autism can be cured with drugs, autism has a genetic basis and rehabilitation training has no effect, and the accuracy for these questions was 42.6% (133/312), 52.2% (163/312) and 70.2% (219/312), respectively. The passing of autism-related knowledge was positively associated with receiving relevant training ( OR=2.585, 95% CI:1.200-5.569), and the excellence was positively associated with the highest education ( OR=1.939, 95% CI:1.220-3.083) and receiving relevant training ( OR=2.016, 95% CI:1.247-3.260). Conclusions:There is a need for more professional training in autism knowledge among child health care professionals in primary health care institutions.

Sirtuin2(SIRT2)is an NAD+dependent histone deacetylase that plays a key role in maintaining cellular REDOX potential and modulating pro-inflammatory immune responses.How-ever,its role in acute kidney injury(AKI)has not been proven.To explore the role of SIRT2 in AKI,AKI models were constructed in wild-type(WT)and SIRT2 knockout(SIRT2-/-)mice by injection of lipopolysaccharide(LPS).HE results showed that kidney damage in SIRT2-/-mice was more significant than that in LPS treated WT mice.qRT-PCR and Western blot results showed that more significant changes in inflammatory genes,proteins and oxidative stress proteins in SIRT2-/-mice.The results suggest that SIRT2 deficiency exacerbates LPS induced AKI.

Objective:To survey the job satisfaction of online contracted nurses who provide " Internet plus nursing services" for reference of hospital managers in improving their management mechanism in this regard.Methods:Based on the two-factor theory, a questionnaire was designed and a purposive sampling method was used to survey the online contracted nurses in Anhui province in April and May 2022. The motivational factors included such five dimensions as workload, work content, colleague relationship, doctor-patient relationship, and their own development, and the healthcare factors included such three dimensions as salary, job recognition and social status. The questionnaire data and job satisfaction scores were analyzed descriptively, and the correlation between the overall job satisfaction of the online contracted nurses, while each dimension was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis, and the influence of each dimension on job satisfaction was analyzed by stepwise regression analysis.Results:A total of 335 valid questionnaires were recovered. The mean score of job satisfaction of online contracted nurses was (2.26±0.38), with the highest score of (2.56±0.53) for salary satisfaction and the lowest score of (1.78±0.67) for job recognition, and each dimension was positively correlated with job satisfaction ( r=0.34-0.88, P<0.01). Regression analysis showed that workload ( B=0.07), salary ( B=0.11), job content ( B=0.23), social status ( B=0.12), and self-development ( B=0.15) were the main factors affecting their job satisfaction ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The job satisfaction of online contracted nurses was at a medium level, mainly influenced by workload, salary, job content, social status and their own development. It is recommended that hospitals implement multiple targeted measures to improve the job satisfaction of online contracted nurses and promote the healthy development of " Internet plus nursing services" .

Objective:To investgate the effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) on the requirement for decompressive craniectomy (DC) and functional outcomes in patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke.Methods:Patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke within 24 hours of onset admitted to the Department of Neurology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between September 2017 and December 2019 were included. Outcome indicators included DC demand and poor outcome at 3 months. The latter was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score >2. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent factors of DC requirement and functional outcomes at 3 months. Results:A total of 381 patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke were enrolled, including 203 males (53.3%), and the mean age was 70.7±14.3 years. The median time from onset to admission was 4.5 hours. The median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 17 and median baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) was 7. Totally 139 patients (36.5%) received EVT, and 64 (16.8%) required DC; 376 patients (98.7%) completed a 3-month follow-up (5 who did not complete follow-up did not require DC, of which 2 received EVT), 312 (83.0%) had poor outcome at 3 months, and 146 (38.8%) died. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that EVT was an independent predictor for the requiremet of DC (odds ratio [ OR] 4.42, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.81-10.81; P=0.001), higher baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.80, 95% CI 0.71-0.89; P<0.001) and successful recanalization ( OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.15-0.90; P=0.028) were independent protective factors of reducing the requirement of DC. Successful recanalization ( OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.72; P=0.023) and antiplatelet therapy ( OR 0.29, 95% CI 0.11-0.76; P=0.012) were independent predictors for reduced risk of poor outcome. In 139 patients who received EVT, 27 (19.4%) received intravenous thrombolysis, 96 (69.1%) achieved successful recanalization, 88 (63.3%) had hemorrhagic transformation, 61 (43.9%) had symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation, and 34 (24.5%) required DC; 137 (98.6%) completed a 3-month follow-up, 116 (84.7%) had poor outcome at 3 months, and 67 (48.9%) died. For patients receiving EVT, a higher baseline ASPECTS ( OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.88; P=0.001) and successful recanalization ( OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.14-0.90; P=0.029) were independent predictors of reducing the requirement of DC, while successful recanalization ( OR 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.71; P=0.022) was an independent predictor for reduced risk of poor outcome. Among 64 patients who required DC, 22 (34.4%) received DC. Receiving DC significantly reduced the mortality within 3 months ( OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.07-0.86; P=0.028), but had no significant effect on functional outcome at 3 months ( OR 0.35, 95% CI 0.03-4.38; P=0.412). There was no significant interaction of either EVT or successful recanalization in the effect of DC on 3-month death ( P for interaction > 0.05). Conclusions:Successful recanalization after EVT reduces requirement for DC in patients with large anterior circulation ischemic stroke and improves functional outcome at 3 months. DC can reduce the mortality in patients required DC, and have no interactive effect with EVT or successful recanalization.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of depression in patients with lacunar cerebral infarction 3 months after discharge, and build a risk prediction model.Methods:The clinical data of 237 patients with lacunar cerebral infarction diagnosed and treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, laboratory indicators and risk factors of cardiovascular disease were collected when the patients were admitted to hospital. The patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score was used to assess the risk of post-stroke depression (PSD) 3 months after discharge. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors of depression. A predictive model was constructed based on the above risk factors. The predictive efficacy was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the clinical applicability of the predictive model was measured by calibration curve and decision curve.Results:Fifty-four patients with lacunar infarction (22.80%) showed symptoms of depression at 3 months after discharge. Multivariate logistic regression showed that women ( OR=2.952, 95% CI: 1.403-6.213, P=0.004), cystatin C ( OR=2.964, 95% CI: 1.222-7.191, P=0.016), apolipoprotein B ( OR=4.836, 95% CI: 1.533-15.258, P=0.007) were the independent risk factors for PSD in patients with lacunar infarction. Activity of daily living (ADL) score ( OR=0.939, 95% CI: 0.915-0.964, P<0.001) was a protective factor for PSD in patients with lacunar infarction. The area under the curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.703-0.855, P<0.001), which was better than other predictors. Hosmer-Lemeshow H test showed that the model was well calibrated ( P=0.588). In addition, the prediction model of decision curve analysis had a good clinical applicability. Conclusions:The predictive model based on gender, laboratory indicators and daily life ability score can evaluate the risk of PSD in patients with lacunar infarction 3 months after discharge. It is good predictive efficacy and clinical applicability which worth clinical promotion and application.
