Objective In this study,the potential profile characteristics of exercise self-efficacy of patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)were explored,and the influencing factors of different types of patients were an-alyzed,so as to provide a reference for nurses to formulate standardized management measures.Methods From June 2023 to May 2024,a total of 342 hospitalized patients with IBD in tertiary A hospital in Wuxi were recruited as research subjects by a convenience sampling method.The General Information Questionnaire,Exercise Self-effica-cy Scale,Exercise Behavioral Stage Distribution Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used for investiga-tion.The latent profile analysis was conducted to classify exercise self-efficacy levels,while multiple Logistic regres-sion analysis was utilized to evaluate the influencing factors.Results A total of 320 valid questionnaires were col-lected,and the effective questionnaire recovery rate was 93.57％.The total score of exercise self-efficacy for IBD pa-tients was(64.61±14.83)points.The exercise self-efficacy was classified into 3 latent categories:low efficacy-somatic emotion group(n=64,20.00％),medium efficacy-work conflict group(n=158,49.38％),and high efficacy-social interfer-ence group(n=98,30.62％).Occupation,recurrence times,comorbid chronic diseases,self-assessed economic pressure,and social support level were found to be influencing factors of the latent profile classification of exercise self-effi-cacy in IBD patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The levels of exercise self-efficacy of patients with IBD are significant-ly heterogeneous,and there are several important influencing factors.Nursing staff should formulate targeted inter-vention strategies based on the characteristics of exercise self-efficacy in such patients,so as to improve patients' exercise self-efficacy and the effectiveness of disease rehabilitation.

The occurrence and development of colitis associated cancer(CAC)is closely related to the intestinal microenvironment.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)posits that"spleen deficiency"is the basic pathogenesis of colon cancer occurrence and development,and plays a key role in the process of"inflammation-cancer transformation".However,at present,the pathogenesis of spleen in the course of its pathogenesis is mostly focused on the body's own system,and few are discussed in combination with the theoretical basis of TCM's holistic view of"correspondence between man and nature".The spleen,as a taiyin organ with a damp-earth nature,relies on yang energy for movement,inherently averses dampness,and governs ascending qi.Late summer is mainly wet,which can easily obstruct the spleen qi,curb the upward trend and stop the spread opportunity when the wettability sticks and has a downward trend.This suggests that the influence of external environmental factors on the body should be comprehensively considered in the study of the classical process of"intestinal flora disturbance-inflammatory microenvironment formation-tumor formation"experienced in the pathogenesis of CAC.Based on the complementarity,mutual penetration and mutual promotion of the theories of traditional Chinese and western medicine,this paper discusses the role of external environmental factors in the occurrence of CAC focused on the mechanism of macrophage polarization imbalance during the formation of tumor inflammatory microenvironment,and provides a basis for the theoretical integration and development of TCM"time-dependent treatment"prevention and treatment strategies.

The clinical phenotype heterogeneity of epilepsy patients with ADGRV1 gene mutation is significant, ranging from self limiting febrile seizures to developmental epileptic encephalopathy, even causing sudden epileptic death. A case of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome with a novel heterozygous variant of the ADGRV1 gene c.4100C>A (p.Thr1367Lys) was reported in this article. The site of this variant had not been reported yet, and the clinical manifestations of the child mainly included epileptic spasms (first onset at 4 months old), mild growth and development delay, highly irregular video electroencephalogram, and effective treatment with adrenocorticotropic hormone.

AIM: To analyze the value of blue-on-yellow perimetry(B/Y)combined with macular ganglion cells inner plexiform layer(GCIPL)detection in the early diagnosis of open angle glaucoma.METHODS: A prospective case-control study was conducted to collect 100 patients(174 eyes)from May 2023 to May 2024 in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University as the case group, and 20 healthy volunteers(40 eyes)as the control group. The case group was divided into high intraocular pressure group, suspected glaucoma group, and early glaucoma group based on the examination results. All study subjects underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination, white-on-white perimetry(W/W)and B/Y examination, and swept source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT)was used to scan the optic disc and macula to obtain relevant parameters. The value of B/Y combined with macular GCIPL in the diagnosis of open angle glaucoma was analyzed.RESULTS: In the case group, 30 cases(52 eyes)were diagnosed with early primary open angle glaucoma, 46 cases(82 eyes)were suspected of open angle glaucoma, and 24 cases(40 eyes)were diagnosed with high intraocular pressure. The W/W mean defect(MD)and B/Y-MD values in the early glaucoma group were lower than those in the control group, high intraocular pressure group, and suspected glaucoma group. The W/W pattern standard deviation(PSD)and B/Y-PSD values were higher than those in the control group, high intraocular pressure group, and suspected glaucoma group(all P<0.05). The W/W-MD and B/Y-MD values in the suspected glaucoma group were lower than those in the control group and the high intraocular pressure group(all P<0.05). The B/Y-MD values in the high intraocular pressure group were lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). The parameters of GCIPL in the macular area of the early glaucoma group were lower than those of the control group, high intraocular pressure group, and suspected glaucoma group(all P<0.05). The minimum GCIPL in the macular area of the suspected glaucoma group, as well as the upper and lower temporal areas, were lower than those of the control group and the high intraocular pressure group(all P<0.05). The average, upper, lower, temporal, 5:00, 6:00, and 12:00 positions of the retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)parameters around the optic disc in the early glaucoma group were lower than those in the control group, high intraocular pressure group, and suspected glaucoma group(all P<0.05). The average and upper RNFL parameters in the suspected glaucoma group were lower than those in the control group and high intraocular pressure group. The rim area of the optic nerve head(ONH)parameters in the early glaucoma group was smaller than that in the control group, high intraocular pressure group, and suspected glaucoma group, while the horizontal and vertical cup-to-disc ratio was higher than those in the control group, high intraocular pressure group, and suspected glaucoma group; the rim area of the suspected glaucoma group was smaller than that of the control group and high intraocular pressure group, and the horizontal and vertical cup-to-disc ratio were higher than those of the control group and high intraocular pressure group(all P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn, and the results showed that visual field parameters, macular GCIPL parameters, and RNFL parameters had certain diagnosibility for early open angle glaucoma and suspected glaucoma. Decision curve was drawn, and the results showed that when the threshold was between 0 and 1.0, the net return rate of diagnosing early open angle glaucoma with the combination of B/Y and macular GCIPL parameters was higher than the individual diagnostic efficacy of each indicator.CONCLUSION: The combination of B/Y and macular GCIPL detection can be an important means for the early diagnosis of glaucoma.

AIM: To analyze the changes of retinal structure and function before and after panretinal photocoagulation(PRP)in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR).METHODS: Prospective study. Totally 98 cases(98 eyes)of PDR patients who underwent PRP in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2022 to May 2023 were included. Optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)was used to detect central retinal thickness(CRT), central macular thickness(CMT), subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT), foveal avascular zone(FAZ), deep vascular complex(DVC)blood flow density, superficial vascular complex(SVC)blood flow density before and at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after PRP. During the follow-up, 1 eye underwent vitrectomy, 2 eyes were lost to follow-up, and finally 95 eyes completed 1 a follow-up, with a loss rate of 3%. According to the visual prognosis at 1 a after treatment, the patients were divided into two groups: 73 eyes in good prognosis group and 22 eyes in poor prognosis group(including 9 eyes of visual disability and 13 eyes of visual regression). The changes in retinal structure and function before and after PRP treatment were compared between the two groups of patients, and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and decision curve were used to analyze the predictive value of retinal structure and function for PDR treatment.RESULTS: There were statistical significant differences in PDR staging, CRT, CMT, SFCT, DVC blood flow density, and SVC blood flow density between the two groups of patients before treatment(all P<0.05). At 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after treatment, the FAZ area of both groups decreased compared to before treatment, while the blood flow density of DVC and SVC increased compared to before treatment(both P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the blood flow density of FAZ, DVC, and SVC between the two groups at 1 wk, 1 and 3 mo after treatment(all P>0.05). The CRT, CMT and SFCT of the two groups at 1 wk after treatment were higher than those before treatment(all P<0.05), but there were no significant differences between the two groups(all P>0.05). The CRT, CMT and SFCT at 1 and 3 mo after treatment were lower than those at 1 wk after treatment and before treatment in both groups. The CRT, CMT and SFCT in the poor prognosis group at 3 mo after treatment were higher than those at 1 mo after treatment, and were higher than those in the good prognosis group(all P<0.05). ROC analysis showed that, at 3 mo after laser treatment in PDR patients, the area under the curve of the CRT, CMT, and SFCT alone or in combination after treatment for 1 a was 0.788, 0.781, 0.783, and 0.902, respectively, and the combined prediction value was better(P<0.05). Decision curve analysis showed that the combined detection of CRT, CMT, and SFCT in PDR patients at 3 mo after treatment can improve the predictive value of visual prognosis.CONCLUSION: The optimal time for retinal structure and function recovery in PDR patients after PRP treatment is between 1 wk and 1 mo. OCTA measurement of CRT, CMT, and SFCT at 3 mo after treatment can predict the visual prognosis during the 1 a treatment period.

In order to establish a method for the detection of serum antibodies to donkey-derived e-quine coronavirus(ECoV),recombinant ECoV N protein was expressed in E.coli system,purified by nickel column affinity chromatography and identified by Western blot.After optimizing the re-action conditions,the indirect ELISA(iELISA)detection method was established using the puri-fied recombinant protein as coating antigen and used to detect 143 clinical serum samples.The re-sults showed that the recombinant N protein,which has good reaction activity with serum antibod-y,was successfully expressed.The optimum conditions of the established iELISA method were as follows:the amount of antigen coated was 0.2 μg/well and overnight at 4 ℃,10％skimmed milk powder solution was sealed at 37℃ for 1.5 h,the dilution concentration of serum was 1∶200,and the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody diluted at 1∶10 000.The sensitivity test results showed that the positive serum could be diluted to 1∶6 400.The specificity test results showed that all an-tibodies to several donkey pathogens were negative.The repetitive test results showed that the in-tra-and inter-batch coefficients of variation were 2.90％-6.12％and 2.29％-7.88％respectively.The positive rate of clinical donkey serum was 57.3％.The iELISA established in this study pro-vides a technical support for epidemiological investigation and antibody surveillance.

Objective This study aims to compare the efficacy of video stylets and video laryngoscopes in facilitating nasotracheal intubation during oral surgery.Methods A total of 80 patients,aged between 18 and 70 years old,with ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective oral surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly assigned to either the video stylet group(Group N)or the video laryngoscope group(Group C),with 40 patients in each group.In Group N,a video stylet was used to shape the tracheal tube at a 90-degree angle,with the shaping position being the vertical distance from the Adam's apple to the nostril.The tube was inserted from the nasal cavity into the throat under direct visualization,and positioned behind the glottis.In Group C,the tube was initially blindly inserted into the nasal cavity without a core.Upon reaching the throat,a video laryngoscope was employed to lift the epiglottis and expose the glottis from the mouth.The tube was then inserted with the aid of intubation forceps or cuff inflation.The primary outcome measure was the intubation time.Additional measures included the time taken for nasal passage,glottis exposure,and the number of intubation attempts and assistant interventions required.Vital signs,including MAP and HR,were recorded at five minutes of quiet rest upon entering the room(T0),during glottis exposure(T1),upon passage of the tube through the glottis(T2),and one minute after the tube entered the trachea(T3).Complications such as epistaxis,oral mucosal bleeding,loose incisors,and postop-erative sore throat were also documented.Results The intubation time and nasal passage time in Group N were significantly shorter than those in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cuff inflations and intubation forceps assisted cases in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of glottis exposure time,first successful intubation times,C-L glottis classification,and mandibular lift-assisted intubation(P>0.05).The increase in MAP and HR in Group N at T1 and T2 was signifi-cantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).The number of cases with mild epistaxis in Group N was significantly lower than in Group C(P<0.05).Similarly,the number of cases with loose incisors and oral mucosal bleeding in Group N was significantly less than in Group C(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared to the video laryngoscope,the video stylet-guided nasotracheal intubation results in a shorter intubation time,less damage to the oronasopharynx,eliminates the need for intubation forceps,and reduces the patient's stress and vascular stress response during intubation.

Objective To investigate the key targets and pathways of Juhongtai formula granules in improving acute lung injury(ALI).Methods Juhongtai formula granules and their drug-containing serum components were analyzed by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS,and the active ingredients were screened based on the"Lipinski Rule of Five".The action targets of the above active ingredients were obtained through the TCMSP,Swiss Target Prediction and SuperPred databases,and the ALI-related targets were obtained from the GeneCards,OMIM,PharmGKB,CTD databases and GEO chip.The target protein-protein interaction network was constructed using the String database and Cytoscape to analyze the key targets.The DAVID database was used for GO functional annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis,and the CB-dock2 platform was used for molecular docking verification.After one week of adaptive feeding,the experimental SD rats were randomly divided into the blank group,the model group,the positive control group,the negative control group and the Juhongtai formula granules group,with 6 rats in each group.The rat model of ALI was replicated by tracheal infusion of lipopolysaccharide.The pathological morphology of lung tissues in each group of rats was observed by HE staining,and the mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)and nitric oxide were detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Results In total,44 components of the Juhongtai formula granules were identified,including 26 drug-containing serum components,and 21 key compounds were screened.A total of 22 intersection targets were obtained.The pathway enrichment results indicated the action of these targets on the advanced glycation end product receptor(AGE-RAGE)and TNF signaling pathways.The docking results showed that limonin,kaempferol and naringenin could be matched with prostaglandin peroxidase 2,nitric oxide synthase 2 and TNF.Animal experiments confirmed that the Juhongtai formula granules can alleviate inflammatory infiltration in lung tissue and reduce the expressions of TNF-α,IL6,IL-1β mRNA and nitric oxide.Conclusion Juhongtai formula granules can inhibit ALI-related inflammatory targets through the synergistic effects of multiple components such as limonin and kaempferol,regulate signaling pathways such as AGE-RAGE and TNF,reduce the production of inflammatory factors and nitric oxide,and improve ALI.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of transabdominal uterine electromyography for pre-term labor after tocolysis in women with threatened preterm labor.Methods:A total of 48 pregnant women at 28-34 weeks of gestation diagnosed with threatened preterm labor and admitted to The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soo-chow University from January to September 2023 were included.According to the response to tocolysis and whether the pregnancy was prolonged for at least 48 h,women were divided into two groups:non-preterm birth within 48 h(n=35)and preterm birth within 48 h(n=13).Uterine electromyography parameters and difference were compared before and after tocolytic therapy in two groups.Univariate Logistic regression was performed to predict the related factors of preterm birth within 48 h after the using of tocolysis in pregnant women with threat-ened preterm birth by uterine electromyography,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was per-formed to evaluate their performance.Results:Compared to before treatment with tocolysis,after therapy,in the non-preterm birth within 48 h group,significant reductions in contraction frequency,area,duration and amplitude were observed(P<0.05).In the preterm birth within 48 h group,only contraction frequency decreased significant-ly(P<0.05).Univariate Logistic regression indicated that contraction frequency,contraction duration,and contrac-tion area were predictive factors for premature birth within 48 h after tocolysis(P<0.05).When the duration of u-terine contractions lasting for 104.55 s or more the sensitivity and specificity of predicting premature birth within 48 h are 92.3％and 68.6％,respectively.Conclusions:Uterine electromyography may predict the premature birth within 48 h after tocolytic treatment in preterm labor,which may provide reference for subsequent corticosteroid therapy or transfer of high-risk pregnant patients.
