Objective:To explore the dual mediating effects of health belief and depression among health knowledge, social support, and health behaviors based on the capacity, opportunity, motivation-behavior (COM-B) model, and analyze the influencing factors of health behaviors in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods:This multi-center cluster sampling research recruited ischemic stroke patients ( n=1 696) who were hospitalized in neurology departments of five tertiary hospitals in Henan Province from October 2023 to October 2024. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted using the general information questionnaire, social support rating scale (SSRS), stroke prevention knowledge questionnaire(SPKQ), short form health belief model scale(SF-HBMS), health promoting lifestyle profile-Ⅱ (HPLP-Ⅱ), and patient health questionnaire-9(PHQ-9) to ultimately reveal the pathways and effect sizes among variables. Partial correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationships among social support, health knowledge, health belief, health behaviors, and depression in stroke patients by SPSS 26.0 software. Structural equation modeling was constructed using AMOS 28.0 software, and the mediating effect was tested using the Bootstrap method. Results:The scores of social support, health knowledge, health belief, and health behaviors among ischemic stroke patients were (37.46±9.94), (26.56±6.84), (75.62±12.62) and (130.79±26.27), respectively. The score of depression was 5.00 (2.00, 8.00). Health behaviors were positively correlated with health knowledge, social support, and health belief( r=0.333, 0.246, 0.267, all P<0.05), while negatively correlated with depression ( r=-0.146, P<0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that health knowledge, social support, health belief, and depression were all influencing factors of health behaviors in ischemic stroke patients (all P<0.05). Health belief (effect value=0.068, 95% CI=0.048-0.093) and depression (effect value=0.009, 95% CI=0.003-0.018) both played partial mediating roles between health knowledge and health behaviors, accounting for 17.3%(0.077/0.446) of the total effect. Meanwhile, health belief (effect value=0.045, 95% CI=0.029-0.063) and depression (effect value=0.016, 95% CI=0.008-0.027) both played partial mediating roles between social support and health behaviors, accounting for 26.5%(0.061/0.230) of the total effect. Conclusion:Health knowledge and social support can not only directly influence health behaviors but also indirectly affect them through health belief and depression in patients with ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE To understand the drug resistance genes,virulence genes and molecular epidemiological characteristics of extensively drug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae(XDR-hvKP)strains causing hospital-associated infection.METHODS The clinical isolates of XDR-hvKP were collected from Tongling People's Hospital from Jul.2020 to Dec.2022.The strains were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight(MALDI-TOF)mass spectrometry,the common drug resistance genes and virulence genes were an-alyzed by Sanger sequencing,the capsular serotypes were determined by wzi gene sequencing;the drug resistance genes,virulence genes and ST subtypes were observed by means of whole-genome sequencing(WGS)technique.RESULTS Totally 18 strains of XDR-hvKP were collected,55.56％(10/18)of which were isolated from blood specimens,and 61.11％(11/18)were isolated from critical care medicine department.Sanger sequen-cing analysis showed that all of the strains carried blaKPC-2 drug resistance gene;rmpA2(100.00％)and rmpA,i-roN,iutA(94.44％,17/18)were the major virulence genes carried by the strains.WGS analysis indicated that all of the 18 XDR-hvKP isolates carried multiple drug resistance genes such as blaKPC-2 carbapenemase and the viru-lence genes like capsule(rmpA/rmpA2),aerobacterin(iucABCD-iutA),Salmonella(iroN)and yersinin(ybt).All of the ST subtypes were ST 11,and all of the capsular serotypes were KL 64.CONCLUSIONS The ST11-KL64 type XDR-hvKP strains carry blaKPC-2;rmpA,rmpA2,iroN and iutA are the major virulence genes.It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of key population of the key departments and make joint efforts of multiple departments to contain the transmission of the strains.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of Astragali Complanati Semen in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia;To provide theoretical basis for its clinical application.Methods The active components of Astragali Complanati Semen were retrieved and screened through TCMSP,TCMID and TDT databases to obtain the action targets of the active components.Hyperlipidemia targets were obtained through GeneCards,DisGeNET,and TTD databases,and the drug active component targets were intersected with hyperlipidemia targets.Cytoscape 3.9.1 software and STRING database were used to construct active component-target network and protein-protein interaction network,screening for major active components and core targets.GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed using the DAVID database,and the CB-Dock platform was used for molecular docking.HepG2 cells were induced to construct a high-fat cell model using oleic acid and palmitic acid,and intervened with Astragali Complanati Semen freeze-dried powder solution.The mRNA expression of the core target was detected by RT-qPCR.Results A total of 10 active components of Astragali Complanati Semen and 67 potential action targets of hyperlipidemia were identified,involving signaling pathways such as AGE-RAGE,lipid metabolism,HIF-1,etc.Experimental results showed that intervention with Astragali Complanati Semen could reduce lipid accumulation in the high-lipid cell model,with an optimal intervention concentration of 500 μg/mL;RT-qPCR revealed significant down-regulation of TNFα,IL6,AKT1,PPARG,and other genes after intervention with Astragali Complanati Semen.Conclusion Astragali Complanati Semen exerts lipid-regulating effects through multiple targets and pathways,providing a basis for its application in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia.

Objective:To explore the configurational factors influencing the professional commitment of Master of Nursing Specialist (MNS) students and identify effective paths to enhance their professional commitment.Methods:A convenience sample of MNS students from six hospitals in Jiangsu Province, Shanghai City, and Anhui Province was surveyed between December 2023 and October 2024. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Nurses' Professional Commitment Scale (NPCS), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the Multidimentional Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and the Vocational Outcome Expectation Scale (VOE-R). Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) was used to explore the configurational influences on professional commitment.Results:A total of 332 questionnaires were distributed, and 302 valid responses were obtained (effective response rate: 90.1%). The mean NPCS score among respondents was (89.30±22.42), indicating a upper-middle level of professional commitment. The fsQCA results revealed that the frequency of night shift rotation was a necessary condition affecting professional commitment. A total of three distinct configurations (paths) were identified that can enhance the professional commitment of MNS students.Conclusions:The professional commitment of MNS students is influenced by multiple interacting factors. It is recommended that hospitals, universities, and nursing educators develop targeted interventions based on these identified configurations to improve professional commitment.

Objective:To investigate the follow-up colonoscopy of patients after colorectal adenoma (CRA) resection, so as to improve colonoscopy quality and reduce missed CRA diagnosis.Methods:A total of 189 patients after CRA resection who underwent follow-up colonoscopy from October 2020 to October 2021 were consecutively recruited. The effect of bowel preparation was evaluated by the Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS). The location, the number, and gross morphology of adenomas during CRA resection and two colonoscopies during 1 year follow-up after the resection were recorded, and their correlation with major clinicopathologic features were analyzed, and the missed CRA in follow-up colonoscopy were also analyzed.Results:The BBPS scores of the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and total colon in 189 patients who underwent CRA resection were 1.93±0.42, 2.53±0.52, 2.77±0.45, and 7.22±1.03 points at the 1-year follow-up colonoscopy and 2.08±0.35, 2.70±0.46, 2.81±0.40, and 7.57±0.84 points at the time of CRA resection. Except for the left colon segment ( χ 2=0.98, P>0.05), the differences in other colon segments were significantly different ( P<0.05). At the time of CRA resection, 62, 66, 210 and 338 CRAs were detected in the right colon, transverse colon, left colon and total colon segments, respectively. At the 1-year follow-up colonoscopy, 21, 38, 49 and 108 CRAs were missed in the corresponding colon segments and total colon, respectively. CRA missed diagnosis was related to patient age (≥60 years accounting for 54.2%), gender (males accounting for 81.9%), adenoma location (predominantly in the left colon comprising 36.2%) and gross morphology (flat types representing 72.3%) ( P<0.05), but not related to being vegetarian, history of cholecystectomy or appendectomy, smoking or alcohol consumption, number of adenomas or pathological type ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The missed diagnosis of CRA in patients after CRA resection primarily involves the flat type adenomas, which is associated with the age, gender, adenoma location within the colon and the gross morphology.
