Objective:To explore the typology and influencing factors of nursing undergraduates'career willingness to care for terminally ill elderly patients.Methods:Using a convenience sampling method,a survey was conducted among 488 nursing undergraduates from three universities in Hunan Province between May and June 2024.Latent profile analysis(LPA)was employed to classify career willingness to care for terminally ill elderly patients,and logistic regression analysis was used to analyze factors influencing the career willingness.Results:Heterogeneity was observed in nursing undergraduates'career willingness,which was categorized into three groups:low positive attitude-low care awareness group(24.8%),high positive attitude-low care awareness group(56.7%),and high positive attitude-high care awareness group(18.5%).Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender,cohabitation with terminally ill elderly patients,only-child status,experience in caring for terminally ill patients,geriatric nursing training,and hospice care education were statistically significant factors influencing career willingness(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Nursing undergraduates'career willingness to care for terminally ill elderly patients exhibits distinct categorical characteristics.Individualized educational strategies should be developed to enhance their professional identity and career intention in this field.

Objective:To investigate the effects of scalp acupuncture of Baihui and Qubin acupoints combined with running track exercise on the neurological function of rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO)cerebral ischemia and its regulatory effect on the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway by focusing on oxidative stress injury.Methods:A total of 40 male SD rats of SPF grade were selected and the cerebral ischemia model was established by ligation method.Among them,30 rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into the model group,the scalp-acupuncture group,and the combined group,with 10 rats in each group.Another 10 SPF male SD rats were used as the sham operation group.In the scalp-acupuncture group,electroacupuncture was applied to Baihui and Qubin acupoints.In the combined group,both electroacupuncture and running track exercise were applied.The treatment was carried out 6 times/week for a total of 4 weeks.The neurobehavioural function of rats was evaluated by Bederson Neurological Function Assessment.Pathological changes of rat brain tissue were observed by HE staining.SOD,serum MDA and GSH-px levels were detected by kit.The protein expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 in the rat brain tissue were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the sham-operated group,Bederson's neurological function score in the model group was significantly higher(P＜0.05),the pathological damage of HE-stained brain tissue was obvious,the level of MDA significantly increased(P＜0.05),the levels of SOD and GSH-px decreased(P＜0.05),and the protein expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly reduced(P＜0.05).Compared with the model group,Bederson neurological function scores were reduced in each treatment group(P＜0.05),the brain histopathological damage was alleviated,the level of MDA was reduced(P＜0.05),the levels of SOD and GSH-px was elevated(P＜0.05),and the protein expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were significantly increased(P＜0.05).The Bederson neurological function score and MDA level in the combined group were lower than those in the scalp-acupuncture group(P＜0.05),and the levels of SOD and GSH-px and the expression levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 proteins were significantly higher than those in the scalp-acupuncture group(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Scalp acupuncture can improve the neurobehavioural dysfunction and pathological damage caused by cerebral ischemia,increase the antioxidant capacity,and the specific mechanism may be related to the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.And scalp acupuncture combined with running track exercise has a synergistic effect and is more advantageous for treatment.

Objective:To elucidate the effects of different morphologies and sizes of micro/nanomaterial on luminescence properties.Methods:Lu2O3:Eu3+micro-/nanocrystals with different morphologies were synthesized hydrothermally,and the effects of precursor concentration,reaction time,pH,and alkali source on morphology and photoluminescence were investigated.Products were calcined and then characterized for morphology and photoluminescence.Spectra were collected with 250 nm excitation,focusing on the O2-→Eu3+charge-transfer band(CTB)and Eu3+f-f transitions.Results:The use of NaOH,aqueous ammonia,or triethylamine yielded monodisperse square nanosheets after calcination,while the use of urea produced monodisperse and uniform nanospheres.Fluorescence measurements showed a strong CTB near 250 nm.Under 250 nm excitation,the emission comprised multiple peaks,with the the strongest being the 5D?→7F2 hypersensitive transition at 614 nm.Conclusions:In the hydrothermal system,alkali source and reaction parameters provide significant control over the morphology and size of Lu2O3:Eu3+micro-/nanocrystals.The morphology-dependent emission is dominated by red light at 614 nm(5D?→7F).

Objective:To provide a theoretical foundation for improving the evaluation of ideological and political education within medical curricula by comparing and analyzing the teaching effectiveness of AI-empowered ideological and political case teaching with conventional case teaching.Methods:Utilizing a cluster sampling method,two administrative classes who received the course of Preventive Medicine were selected,and randomly divided into the AI-empowered ideological and political case group(case 1 group)and the common case group(case 2 group).During the medical course instruction,each group received teaching sessions incorporating their respective case study content.A questionnaire survey was subsequently administered to compare the students'levels of acceptance and perception towards the ideological and political case teaching.Results:The students'recognition rates for"whether the ideological education cases could achieve the teaching objectives","the close combination of ideological education cases and preventive medicine professional knowledge"and"case teaching deepened students'understanding of doctors'social services"in Case 1 group were all higher than those in Case 2 group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the recognition rate for"the case content has practical guiding significance(such as response to public health events)","the case enhanced my sense of mission in the field of public health",and"the lecture process of the case impressed me"between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conversely,the recognition rate of the Case 2 group for"the integration of ideological education cases had more warmth"was higher than that of the Case 1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Correctly evaluating and utilizing AI-empowered ideological and political case teaching in medical course education can more efficiently achieve the goals of ideological and political education.

Objective:To explore the correlation of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)parameters and serum level of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9(PCSK9)with pathological characteristics and chemotherapy sensitivity of breast cancer patients.Methods:The clinical data of 102 breast cancer patients admitted to our hospital from Feb 2022 to May 2024 were respectively analyzed.Based on the principle of 1∶1 selection,102 patients with benign breast tumors during the same period were selected as the control group.The DCE-MRI parameters[transport constant(Ktrans),rate constant(Kep),volume ratio of the external space(Ve),and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)]and serum PCSK9 level were compared between the two groups and patients with different pathological characteristics,and the correlation was analyzed.The value of DCE-MRI parameters(Ktrans,Kep,Ve,ADC)combined with serum PCSK9 level in assessing the sensitivity of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients was analyzed.Results:The Ktrans,Kep,Ve,ADC values,and serum PCSK9 level in breast cancer group were higher than those in the benign breast tumor group(P＜0.01).Breast cancer patients with low-to-moderate differentiation,pathological stage Ⅲ,and lymph node metastasis had higher Ktrans,Kep,Ve,ADC values,and serum PCSK9 level compared to those with high differentiation,pathological stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,and no lymph node metastasis(P＜0.05).The degree of differentiation,pathological stage,and lymph node metastasis were positively correlated with Ktrans,Kep,Ve,ADC values,and serum PCSK9 level(P＜0.01).The Ktrans,Kep,Ve,ADC values,and serum PCSK9 level in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy resistance were higher than those in patients with chemotherapy sensitivity(P＜0.01).Patients with chemotherapy resistance had a higher proportion of low-to-moderate differentiation,pathological stage Ⅲ,and lymph node metastasis than patients with chemotherapy sensitivity(P＜0.05).After adjusting the degree of differentiation,pathological stage and lymph node metastasis,Ktrans,Kep,Ve,ADC values and serum PCSK9 level were still the influencing factors of chemotherapy sensitivity in breast cancer patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion:DCE-MRI parameters and serum PCSK9 level are correlated with the clinical pathological characteristics of breast cancer patients,and the combination of these indicators can provide certain reference value for clinical evaluation of chemotherapy sensitivity in breast cancer patients.

Objective:To explore the application value of pterygium excision(PE)combined with autologous limbal stem cell transplantation(LSCT)in the treatment of pterygium.Methods:The clinical data of 125 patients with pterygium admitted to Yucheng County People's Hospital from Feb 2021 to Feb 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method,with 58 patients undergoing PE combined with amniotic membrane transplantation as the control group and 67 patients undergoing PE combined with LSCT as the observation group.The surgical-related indicators and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups,as well as the pre-and post-operative visual acuity,corneal parameters[corneal astigmatism,corneal fluorescein staining(FL)score],tear secretion function[tear film breakup time(BUT),Schirmer test].Results:The operation time,corneal wound healing time,regression time of hyperemia and edema,and suture removal time in the observation group were shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.01).The visual acuity level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group at 7 days,1 month,and 3 months after surgery(P＜0.05).The corneal astigmatism degree and FL score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at 1 month and 3 months after surgery,while BUT and Schirmer test were higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the total incidence of complications between the two groups after surgery(P＞0.05).Conclusion:The combined treatment of PE and LSCT for pterygium is effective,which can accelerate the recovery process after surgery,improve corneal morphology and tear secretion function,enhance visual acuity,and ensure surgical safety.

The harmful impacts of bisphenol compounds(BPs)on the body have come into emphasis because to the dramatic rise in their manufacture and use globally.BPs are significant risk factors influencing food safety since they can come into intimate contact with people's daily life through food,food contact materials,and numerous environmental media.Because of their endocrine-disrupting properties,BPs may adversely affect the body's immunological,neuroendocrine,and reproductive systems,as well as inducing cancer.This paper analyzes and summarizes the potential toxic effects of BPs,common detection methods,and compares the limit standards of BPs in food contact materials at home and abroad,which provides a theoretical basis for further improving regulatory standards,promoting food safety,and safeguarding people's health.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory role of the tumor suppressor gene ARID1A(AT-rich interaction domain 1A)in the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)cells and its molecular mechanism associated with the protein kinase B(AKT)signaling pathway.Methods:Stable ARID1A-overexpressing A549/H1299 cell models were constructed via lentiviral transfection,with transfection efficiency validated by RT-PCR and Western blot.Cell viability was assessed using the CCK-8 assay,proliferation rate was evaluated using EdU staining,and migration capacity was analyzed by scratch assay.Cell death was evaluated through Calcein/PI live/dead staining and trypan blue exclusion.The phosphorylation level of AKT(p-AKT/AKT ratio)was detected by Western blot.The role of AKT in proliferation regulation was further validated by treating overexpressing cells with the AKT inhibitor MK-2206(1 μmol/L).Results:ARID1A overexpression significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of A549/H1299 cells while upregulating p-AKT levels.MK-2206 treatment abolished the inhibitory effects of ARID1A overexpression on proliferation.Cell death assays demonstrated no significant impact of ARID1A overexpression on LUAD cell mortality.Conclusion:ARID1A specifically suppresses LUAD cell proliferation and migration by activating the AKT signaling pathway,suggesting that targeting AKT may provide a potential therapeutic strategy for LUAD patients with ARID1A deficiency.

Objective:To analyze Chinese and English literature related to Kangfuxin liquid for wound healing using CiteSpace Knowledge Graph,and to understand its research hotspots,current status,and development trend.Methods:Chinese literature on Kangfuxin Liquid in promoting wound healing was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),and English literature from Web of Science(WOS),covering the period from January 1,2004,to October 1,2024.CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was used to perform visual analyses based on publication volume,institutions,authors,and keywords.Results:A total of 795 Chinese articles and 21 English articles were included.Overall publication volumes for both languages showed an upward trend,though Chinese publications slightly declined after 2017.Author collaboration network analysis revealed scattered and limited cooperation among researchers,with the field predominantly led by domestic scholars.Institutional collaboration analysis identified Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the most prolific institution in both Chinese and English literature.The mapping indicated closer collaboration among English literature institutions compared to Chinese counterparts.High-frequency keywords in Chinese literature included Kangfuxin liquid,pressure ulcer,and wound healing,while English keywords included expression,chitosan,and induced gastric ulcer.The representative clustering tags in the Chinese database were#0 Kangfuxin,#1 nurse,and#2 therapeutic effect.The representative English clustering tags were#0 diabetic wound,#1 marine polysaccharide,and#2 slamf 9.The research hotspot of the Chinese database before 2019 focused on Kangfuxin Liquid's role in wound healing,while post-2020 studies shifted toward the role of inflammatory factors during healing.Conclusions:Visual analysis confirms Kangfuxin Liquid in wound healing as a research hotspot.Future studies should strengthen interdisciplinary and regional collaborations,with mechanistic exploration and clinical applications prioritized.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of sleep quality on the relationship between serum vitamin D3 level and depressive symptoms in community-dwelling elderly people with mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods:A total of 480 elderly people with MCI meeting inclusion criteria in a community health service center from Jan 2023 to Dec 2023 were selected as the research objects.The general information questionnaire,mini-mental state examination(MMSE),activity of daily living scale(ADL),Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D)and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)were used to investigate the subjects.Serum vitamin D3 level was detected within 1 week.Spearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between sleep quality,serum vitamin D3 level and depressive symptoms.The mediating effect model was tested by Model 4 in the Process plug-in.Results:Among the 480 MCI elderly,the average score of depression was(12.28±4.75),the average serum vitamin D3 level was(25.81±7.09)ng/ml,and the average score of sleep quality was(7.17±2.71).Depression severity was positively correlated with sleep quality score(r=0.294,P＜0.01),and negatively correlated with serum vitamin D3 level(r=-0.237,P＜0.01).Serum vitamin D3 level was negatively correlated with sleep quality score(r=-0.225,P＜0.01).Bootstrap analysis showed that the mediating effect of sleep quality between serum vitamin D3 level and depression level was-0.064(95%CI:-0.115--0.023),accounting for 26.57%of the total effect.Conclusion:Sleep quality partially mediates the relationship between serum vitamin D3 level and depressive symptoms in the elderly with MCI in the community.
