This study was aimed at investigating the effectiveness of various host nucleic acid removal and non-specific amplifica-tion techniques in animal tissue samples,to increase the accuracy of pathogen identification in tissue samples.Simulated samples were prepared with a mixture of mouse lung tissue homogenates and Klebsiella pneumoniae fluids,and processed with six host nucleic acid removal kits and three non-specific amplification techniques.The effectiveness of each method in removing host DNA and enriching nucleic acids of pathogenic microorganisms was evaluated through real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and high-throughput se-quencing.For host nucleic acid removal techniques,the method of selective cleavage and quantitative degradation of host DNA(Com-plete5 kit)effectively decreased the host nucleic acid content in tissue samples and increased the relative abundance of pathogen nucleic acids.In contrast,the magnetic bead method for host DNA removal(Next microbiome DNA enrichment Kit kit)was less effec-tive.At lower pathogen concentrations(77 CFU/mL),the Vazyme kit was more effective than the other kits in removing host nucleic acids.Non-specific amplification techniques(MALBAC whole genome amplification,MDA isothermal amplification,and random primer amplification)were not applicable to tissue samples and were not effective in increasing the relative abundance of pathogen nucleic acids.Selective lysis and quantitative degradation of host DNA were suitable for processing tissue samples with high host back-ground and low pathogenic microorganism levels,whereas non-specific amplification methods were not applicable to tissue samples for pre-processing of macro-genome high-throughput sequencing.

The physical trauma and psychological stress brought by awake surgery will lead to many negative outcomes. Virtual reality (VR) technology can effectively relieve the pain and anxiety of patients undergoing awake surgery by taking advantage of its advantages of immersion, interactivity and imagination. This paper summarizes the types and application effects of VR head-mounted displays, analyzes the shortcomings of VR and points for attention in application, so as to provide reference for future research and clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the effect of immersive mindfulness travel system in patients undergoing breast biopsy.Methods:This study adopted a randomized controlled study design. From February to July 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 94 patients who underwent breast biopsy in the Breast Surgery of Beijing Hospital as the research subject. The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group by segmented randomization, with 47 cases in each group. The experimental group implemented the immersive mindfulness travel system model, while the control group patients wore headphones to listen to light music and received verbal comfort and support. We compared the anxiety, fear scores and satisfaction with nursing services between two groups of patients.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the scores of the State-trait Anxiety Inventory and the modified Surgical Fear Questionnaire for Breast Biopsy Patients between the two groups of patients before and after intervention ( P<0.05). The satisfaction score of nursing services in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Immersive mindfulness travel system makes up for some deficiencies of existing intraoperative virtual reality intervention. It is superior to light music therapy in alleviating intraoperative anxiety and fear of breast biopsy patients and improving nursing service satisfaction, and has good clinical application prospects.
