Objective:To develop a post competence assessment scale for nurses in the health management (physical examination) center and assess its reliability and validity.Methods:This study adopted an empirical approach. A total of 801 nurses from the health management (physical examination) center were recruited to participate in this study. A research team was formed in August 2024. This team transformed the previously constructed core competence evaluation index system for health management specialist nurses in the health management (physical examination) center (comprising 6 first-level indicators and 70 third-level indicators) into a preliminary post competence assessment scale. Seven experts evaluated the content validity of the scale. In September 2024, a pilot survey was conducted among 27 nurses from the health management (physical examination) center of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital using convenience sampling. From October to November 2024, the first main survey was administered to 385 nurses of health management (physical examination) center across 54 cities in China using both convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods, followed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Subsequently, utilizing the refined scale obtained after eliminating certain items, a second main survey was conducted among 389 nurses in the health management (physical examination) center, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability of the final scale was assessed using Cronbach′s α coefficient, split-half reliability, composite reliability, and test-retest reliability.Results:The finalized scale for nurses′ post competency in health management (physical examination) center comprises five dimensions—basic nursing service competency, health management practice competency, knowledge integration competency, professional development competency, and professional attitude—with a total of 57 items. The item level content validity index (I-CVI) of the items of the content validity display scale ranged from 0.857 to 1.000, and the content validity index of each dimension ranged from 0.984 to 1.000. The scale-level Content Validity index/average (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.995. The contribution rate of the 6 factors extracted by EFA was 74.07%. After group discussion and CFA, the scale of the 5-factor structural equation model was constructed. The total Cronbach′s α coefficient of the scale was 0.986, the split-half reliability was 0.865, the composite reliability was 0.960-0.980, the total table test-retest reliability was 0.762, and the test-retest reliability of each dimension was 0.681-0.731.Conclusion:The developed assessment scale for assessing the post competence of nurses in the health management (physical examination) center demonstrates excellent reliability and validity.

Objective:To establish neurodevelopmental mice model of schizophrenia(SZ) with prepulse inhibition(PPI) deficits and investigate the effectiveness of olanzapine on PPI disruption.Methods:On the 9th day of pregnancy of SPF grade C57BL/6 mice, female mice were injected with polyinosinic acid poly (I∶C) (6 mg/kg) through tail vein for immune stimulation. The stress model was constructed by chronic unpredictable mild stress 30-40 d after birth (PND30-40). The offspring mice were divided into pregnancy immune stimulation + adolescent stress group (P + S + group), pregnancy immune stimulation group (P + S- group), adolescent stress group (P-S+ group) and non stimulation group (P-S-group), with 18 mice in each group. The mice in P+ S+ group were divided into OLZ intervention group (OLZ group) and non-OLZ intervention group (non-OLZ group), with 9 mice in each group. The PPI function of mice was detected by acoustic startle reflex test after modeling and OLZ intervention. Adopt StatView Version 5.0 software for data analysis, and multi factors analysis of variance was used to test the main effect, interactive effect and simple effect of each factor.Results:The main effects of maternal Poly(I: C) immune activation and pubertal chronic unpredictable stress were significant( F(1, 330)=47.72, P<0.01), and there was a significant interaction between the two factors( F(1, 330)=14.80, P<0.01), simple effect analysis showed that average percent prepulse inhibition (PPI%) in P+ S+ group((15.42±6.13)%) was significantly decreased compared with groups of P+ S-((27.33±4.58)%), P-S+ ((31.17±3.97)%) and P-S-((47.14±12.28)%)(all P<0.01). There was significant gender difference in Prepulse inhibition(PPI)score( F(1, 396)=61.94, P<0.01), in male and female mice, average startle reactivity of Pulse under Prepulse+ Pulse influence of distinct intensities was significantly different( F(1, 198)=18.68, 18.44, P<0.01), and the maternal Poly(I∶C) immune activation had a significant main effect( F(1, 198)=32.18, 12.58, P<0.01) and interaction with pubertal chronic unpredictable stress( F(1, 198)=34.54, 11.39, P<0.01), simple effect analysis suggested that the average startle reactivity of Prepulse+ Pulse in P+ S+ group(0.47±0.12) was significantly higher than other three groups(P+ S-: 0.36±0.11, P-S+ : (0.25±0.22), P-S-: (0.31±0.19)) in male mice( P<0.01) and in P-S+ group was significantly higher than the other three groups in female mice ( P<0.01). OLZ treatment could efficiently reverse the deficits on PPI by increasing PPI%( F(1, 165)=18.24, P<0.01), OLZ could reduce PPI score in male "dual-hit" model mice( F(1, 102)=21.81, P<0.01)and raise it in female( F(1, 102)=4.88, P<0.05). Conclusion:OLZ can reverse PPI deficits in schizophrenic neurodevelopmental model mice, and in the evaluation of PPI function in the model mice through PPI of acoustic startle reflex, PPI% has better stability and reactivity to OLZ intervention.

Objective To investigate the interaction between rifampin(RFP)and levofloxacin(LVFX)in retreatment of smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis(TB). Methods One hundred retreated smear positive TB patients admitted to our hospital between January 2013 and December 2015 were randomly divided into two groups:the control group in 50 patients with only RFP treatment,and the treatment group in 50 patients with both RFP and LVFX treatments. The RFP plasma concentration was tested 0.5 h,1 h,and 2 h after intake of medicine. Sputum smear test was performed at the end of February,May,August and September to investigate the interaction between RFP and LVFX in retreatment of smear positive TB. Results The plasma concentration of RFP did not show significant difference(P > 0.05)between the control group and the treatment group at 0.5 h,1 h,and 2 h after intake of medicine. As the treatment time went on,the level of smear positive gradually decreased. The sputum smear positive rate after 2,5,8,and 9 months of treatment showed significant difference between the control group and the treatment group. After 8 months of treatment,the ratio of stabilized patients and patients under treatment also showed significant difference(P<0.05). Conclusion Rifampicin and levofloxacin have no antagonism effect in retreatment of smear positive TB,and RFP and LVFX can be used together to treat the repeated smear positive TB.

Objective To investigate the differential expression of microRNA (miRNA) in schizophrenia (SZ) patients,and explore the comorbidity of SZ and depression disorder based upon miRNA expression.Methods Affymetrix array analysis was used to investigate the differentially expressed miRNA in SZ patients firstly,and then quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was further carried out to confirm the selected miRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 40 SZ patients,whom were administered by Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the selected miRNAs in depression disorder patients has also been confirmed by Affymetrix array analysis and qRT-PCR in our previous studies.Results Affymetrix array analysis indicated that there existed 33 miRNAs which differentially expressed (32 up-regulated and 1 down-regulated) compared with normal controls.qRT-PCR results suggested that the expression of 8 miRNAs (miR-1273d,miR-1303,miR-3064-5p,miR3131,miR-3687,miR-4428,miR-4725-3p and miR-5096) were significantly up-regulated in SZ;the miRNA differentially expressed in depression disorder patients also had differential expression in SZ patients (P<0.05).There were significant correlation between the miRNAs differentially expressed in depression disorder patients and in SZ patients (P<0.01).MiR-1972 differentially expressed in depression disorder patients had significant positive correlation with the positive symptoms of PANSS (P<0.05),and miR-26b was positively correlated with composite factor (P<0.05).Conclusion Comorbidity of SZ and depression disorder is observed not only on the clinical symptoms,but on the molecular genetic basis.
