Objective:To translate the English version of the Attitude Tool of Delirium (ATOD) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of its application in Chinese nurses, and to provide an assessment tool for assessing nurses ′ attitudes towards delirium patients. Methods:After obtaining authorization from the source scale developer, the English version of the ATOD scale was translated, back-translated, expert-consulte, pre-surveyed and cross-culturally adapted according to the Brislin translation model. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 298 nurses with experience in caring for patients with delirium in three tertiary hospitals in Jiangsu Province using a convenience sampling method. The critical ratio value and correlation coefficient were used to analyze the scale items. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the structural validity of the scale, and experts were invited to evaluate the content validity of the scale. Cronbach α coefficient and test-retest reliability were used to evaluate the reliability of the scale. Results:The Chinese version of the ATOD scale contains 3 dimensions of cognitive attitudes, behavioral attitudes, and emotional attitudes toward patients with delirium, with a total of 23 entries. The Cronbach α coefficient for the entire scale was 0.896, with each dimension′s Cronbach α coefficient ranging from 0.614 to 0.912. The retest reliability of the scale was 0.868, with each dimension ′s retest reliability ranging from 0.603 to 0.927. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three eigenvalues with common factors greater than 1, and the cumulative variance contribution rate was 63.812%. Conclusions:The Chinese version of the ATOD scale has good reliability and validity, and can be used as an evaluation tool for evaluating nurses ′ attitudes towards delirium patients in China, so as to provide an effective basis for the formulation of corresponding interventions.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the impact of socioeconomic status on cognitive function in older adults, while analyzing the mediating role of health-related social determinants.The findings will provide a foundation for the implementation of an active aging strategy.Methods:Utilizing data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS)2020, this study employed multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic status and cognitive function among older adults.A multiple mediation model was applied to evaluate the mediating effects of health-related social determinants on the association between socioeconomic status and cognitive function, with these mediation effects assessed using the Bootstrap method.Results:The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated that socioeconomic status significantly positively influences cognitive function in older adults.Factors such as younger age, male gender, Han ethnicity, and urban residence were associated with higher cognitive scores.The mediation analysis demonstrated that, of the total effect of socioeconomic status on cognitive function, health status accounted for 1.564%, individual lifestyle for 14.820%, social support networks for 2.719%, living conditions for 1.632%, and other social structural factors for 1.496%.In the multiple mediation model, a total of 17.945% of the effect of socioeconomic status on cognitive function in older adults was jointly mediated by health-related social determinants.Conclusions:Socioeconomic status is a critical determinant of cognitive impairment among older adults in China.To address this issue, comprehensive interventions should be implemented to promote the equitable distribution of economic and social resources, reduce socioeconomic disparities, and mitigate health inequalities, thereby enhancing the overall cognitive function of disadvantaged groups.Preventive measures and strategies aimed at improving health status, encouraging healthy lifestyle choices, strengthening social support networks, enhancing living conditions, and optimizing social structural factors could serve as essential intervention points to improve the cognitive function of older adults with lower socioeconomic status.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical features and genetic etiology in a child with Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) complicated by growth hormone deficiency. METHODS: A child presented at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital in October 2014 for "short stature for over 4 years" was selected as the study subject. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the child and his parents for genomic DNA extraction and whole-exome sequencing (WES). The pathogenicity of the candidate variants was assessed by following the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: 2025-003). RESULTS: The patient, a 4-year-and-2-month-old male, presented with short stature and recurrent epistaxis since early childhood. Initial diagnosis of GHD was made via growth hormone stimulation testing. During follow-up, telangiectatic macules and polycythemia gradually appeared. WES revealed that he has harbored a heterozygous c.1807G>A (p.Gly603Arg) variant of the ENG gene, which was absent in both parents and classified as likely pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines. Sanger sequencing confirmed the candidate variant to be de novo. CONCLUSION Patients with HHT combined with GHD may exhibit clinical features such as short stature, telangiectasia, and arteriovenous malformations. The heterozygous c.1807G>A (p.Gly603Arg) variant of the ENG gene probably underlay the pathogenesis of the disease in the proband. Above finding has expanded the mutational spectrum of the ENG gene.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of human papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and genotype distribution of 18 535 cases in Yuncheng . Methods A sample of 18535 residents who underwent HPV testing in our hospital from August 2020 to September 2023 were enrolled, and HPV genotyping was done to all samples. Then the rate of HPV infection, age distribution, genotype distribution, and multiple infections were statistically analyzed. Results Of the 18,535 subjects included, a total of 4,639 tested positive for HPV, demonstrating a positive rate of 25.03%. The positive rate of HPV infection varied among different age groups (χ²=29.587, P<0.05), with higher rates found in <25 years old group (29.61%) and >60 years old group (25.89%). Overall, 23 genotypes, covering 5315 viruses, were detected. There were 5 low-risk genotypes with the highest percentage of HPV42 (9.29%), and there were 18 high-risk genotypes with HPV52, HPV58, HPV66 and HPV53, subtypes as the most frequent subtypes, accounting for 13.64%, 8.97%, 7.41% and 7.04%, respectively. The type of HPV infection was predominantly single infections, with an overall single infection rate of 21.62% (4008/18535), which accounted for 86.40% (4 008/4 639) of all positive cases, and a multiple genotype infections rate of 3.40% (631/18535). The 25-34 year old group accounted for the largest proportion of single infections (25.12%), while the <25 year old group accounted for the largest proportion of multiple genotype infections (30.74%). Conclusion The prevalence rate of HPV infection in Yuncheng is 25.03%, with a higher positive rate in the <25 years age group and the >60 years age group. A total of 23 HPV genotypes are detected, of which the main genotypes are HPV42, HPV58, HPV66 and HPV53, and the type of infection is dominated by single infections.
