Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the persistence of prostate specific antigen(PSA) following radical prostatectomy, and to develop and validate a predictive model for PSA persistence.Methods:Clinical data from 1 828 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy at Shanghai Changhai Hospital between January 2015 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Of these, 1 295 patients from January 2015 to April 2021 comprised the modeling group, while 533 patients from May 2021 to December 2023 formed the validation group. Additionally, 109 patients who underwent radical surgery at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University between March and December 2023 were included as an external validation group. Patients with incomplete clinical information, serum PSA levels exceeding 100 ng/ml, or those who received preoperative neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. Ultimately, 1 003, 369, and 86 patients were included in the modeling, validation, and external validation groups, respectively. The modeling group had serum PSA of 19.29 (8.43, 23.73) ng/ml; the clinical stages were distributed as T 1, T 2, T 3, and T 4 in 191, 673, 123, and 16 patients, respectively; the primary Gleason scores of biopsy were 3, 4, and 5 in 460, 466, and 77 patients, respectively; and the secondary Gleason scores were 3, 4, and 5 in 363, 486, and 154 patients, respectively. The validation group had serum PSA of 12.80 (6.82, 14.40) ng/ml; the clinical stages were distributed as T 1, T 2, T 3, and T 4 in 40, 289, 37, and 3 patients, respectively; the primary Gleason scores of biopsy were 3, 4, and 5 in 218, 145, and 6 patients, respectively; and the secondary Gleason scores were 3, 4, and 5 in 140, 184, and 45 patients, respectively. The external validation group had serum PSA of 12.84 (7.11, 12.97) ng/ml; the clinical stages were distributed as T 1, T 2 and T 3 in 9, 68, and 9 patients, respectively; the primary Gleason scores of biopsy were 3, 4, and 5 in 58, 27, and 1 patient, respectively; and the secondary Gleason scores were 3, 4, and 5 in 28, 50, and 8 patients, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for PSA persistence after radical prostatectomy in the modeling group and a prediction model was constructed. The predictive performance of the model was analyzed using the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve, the calibration curve, and the clinical decision curve. The predictive performance of the model was verified by the ROC curve in the validation group and the external validation group. Results:The incidence of persistent PSA after surgery in the modeling group, validation group, and external validation group was 8.97% (90/1 003), 7.32% (27/369), and 17.4% (15/86), respectively. In the modeling group, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that serum PSA, percentage of positive needle cores, primary Gleason score on biopsy, and secondary Gleason score on biopsy were independent risk factors for PSA persistence ( P<0.05), and a prediction model was constructed based on these factors. The AUC value of this model was 0.790 (95% CI 0.745-0.835). Calibration curve and clinical decision curve analyses showed that the model's predicted probabilities aligned well with actual risks within the 0-40% prediction interval, providing clinical benefit. The AUC values of the ROC curves in the validation group and external validation group were 0.808 (95% CI 0.719-0.897) and 0.822 (95% CI 0.714-0.929), respectively, indicating that the model had good predictive performance. Conclusions:The predictive model for PSA persistence, constructed based on serum PSA, percentage of positive needle cores, primary and secondary Gleason score on biopsy, demonstrated good clinical predictive performance, exhibiting high accuracy in both internal and cross-center validation.

Objective:To construct a clinical decision-making ability indicator system based on evidence-based practice for pediatric nursing interns, and to provide a scientific basis for clinical teaching and evaluation.Methods:A method combining literature analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and empirical research was used. Firstly, a systematic search of Chinese and English databases (2018-2023) was conducted. Literature was screened based on the PICO framework and evidence-based data were extracted, resulting in a preliminary system consisting of 4 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 39 tertiary indicators. Subsequently, the indicators were revised through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation (25 experts with 19-27 years of work experience). The expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.898-0.907 and the Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.351-0.420 ( P<0.001). Finally, the analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights, and the reliability and validity were verified through a questionnaire survey (sample size: 30 participants in preliminary survey and 58 participants in formal survey). Results:The constructed indicator system included 4 primary indicators (weights), 13 secondary indicators, and 42 tertiary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows: knowledge integration ability (0.300), evidence-based practice ability (0.250), clinical judgment ability (0.280), and ethical decision-making ability (0.170). The importance scores of all items exceeded 4.0 points (out of 5 points), and the coefficients of variation were less than 0.20. The reliability and validity tests showed that the Cronbach's α of the overall scale was 0.89, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.88. The cumulative variance contribution rate of exploratory factor analysis was 69.30%. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit with a comparative fit index of 0.93 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.05. Conclusions:This indicator system has high scientificity and practicality, and can provide a reference for the standardized cultivation and evaluation of clinical decision-making ability of pediatric nursing interns. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen advanced evidence-based skills training and long-term application effectiveness tracking.

The scaphoid bone is one of the important bone of hand,which is frequently injured and difficult to treat in clinical practice.Therefore,it is very important to deeply study the microstructure and biomechanical characteristics of the scaphoid bone for understanding its injury mechanism and optimizing treatment scheme.Microcomputed tomography(micro-CT)provides high-resolution imaging of bone tissue,while finite element analysis can help to simulate the stress distribution and behavioral patterns of the scaphoid bone under various physiological and pathological states.The high-resolution three-dimensional image of the scaphoid bone obtained by micro-CT technology can be used to construct finite element models of real anatomical structure of the scaphoid bone,thus achieving accurate simulation of the mechanical properties of the scaphoid bone.The fusion of these two advanced technologies provides a new perspective for revealing the structural and functional relationships and injury mechanism of the scaphoid bone.Therefore,this paper reviews the anatomical characteristics of the scaphoid bone and its biomechanical behavior in different states,emphasizing the specific applications and advantages of micro-CT and finite element analysis techniques in the study of the scaphoid bone.By summarizing the research findings in recent years,this paper provides novel scientific basis and methods for the diagnosis,treatment,and prevention of scaphoid bone-related disorders.

Objective:To explore the actor-partner effect of parenting stress and parenting efficacy on children's anger-aggression and anxiety-withdrawal.Methods:A questionnaire survey measuring parenting stress, parenting efficacy and children's social and behavioral problems was conducted among 525 parents of 2-5-year-old children in five kindergartens and parent-child kindergartens in Hunan, Jiangxi and Hainan provinces during April, 2023.The descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were conducted by SPSS 27.0, the mediation analyses were done with Mplus 7.4, and the actor-partner effect was analyzed by the Web-based program APIM_SEM.Results:(1) Father's parenting stress(3.22±0.67) and mother's parenting stress(2.91±1.02) were significantly related to children's anger-aggression(2.59±1.01) ( rfather=0.31, P<0.01; rmother=0.52, P<0.01) and anxiety-withdrawal(2.64±0.97) ( rfather=0.28, P<0.01; rmother=0.50, P<0.01). (2) Mother's parenting stress negatively predicted maternal parenting efficacy( β=-0.19, P<0.01) and paternal parenting efficacy( β=-0.08, P<0.05), while father's parenting stress negatively predicted paternal parenting efficacy ( β=-0.31, P<0.01) and maternal parenting efficacy ( β=-0.17, P<0.01). Regarding the actor-partner effect, maternal parenting efficacy was dual-mode and paternal parenting efficacy was mixed-mode. (3) The mediation tests showed that, maternal parenting efficacy acted as a partial mediator between maternal parenting stress and children's anger-attack and anxiety-withdrawal, the effects were 0.037(95% CI=0.021-0.056), 0.058(95% CI=0.040-0.078), as well as between paternal parenting stress and children's anger-attack(0.022(95% CI=0.008-0.039)), and anxiety-withdrawal (0.034(95% CI=0.014-0.056)).The paternal parenting efficacy played partial mediation between paternal parenting stress and children's anger-attack and anxiety-withdrawal, the mediation effects were 0.039(95% CI=0.020-0.061) and 0.032(95% CI=0.016-0.052), as well as between maternal parenting stress and children's anger-attack(0.016(95% CI=0.003-0.031)), and anxiety-withdrawal (0.013(95% CI=0.002-0.027)). Conclusion:The parenting stress significantly increase children's anger-attack and anxiety-withdrawal behavior. Parenting stress of fathers and mothers indirectly leads to the increase of children's negative emotions and behaviors by weakening the parenting efficacy of themselves and their partners.

Percutaneous renal denervation(RDN)is a minimally invasive interventional treatment for hypertension that has been used in clinics at home and abroad,primarily for patients with resistant hypertension or who cannot tolerate antihypertensive drugs.Current clinical studies have confirmed the safety and efficacy of this technique.As RDN is still in its promotional and popularization stage,the expert group has written this clinical pathway to promote the orderly implementation of this technology,standardize the operating process,and standardize diagnostic and therapeutic behaviors.The pathway describes the clinical assessment of patients in detail(including indications,contraindications,and the patient screening process),the standardized operating process for RDN(including perioperative medication,anaesthesia,ablation,and management of complications),and the postoperative follow-up plan(including follow-up content,methods,and timing).It is hoped that this will serve as a reference for physicians involved in RDN clinical work,standardize diagnostic and therapeutic behaviors,and promote the standardized,precise,and sustainable development of the RDN discipline.

This study aims to describe the population and regional distribution characteristics of smoking behavior among adult twins in the China Twin Registry (CNTR), as well as the concordance rates for smoking behavior in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, and estimate the heritability. The study population included adult twins in CNTR who had smoking questionnaire data. A random-effects regression model was used to describe the distribution of smoking behavior among different subgroups based on various characteristics. The concordance of smoking behavior between different zygosity groups was calculated, and heritability was estimated. A total of 28 444 twin pairs were included in this study, with an average age of (36.6±12.0) years. Among male twins, 41.2% were current smokers, while only 1.2% of females smoked. Higher smoking rates were observed among male smokers in the 50-59 age group ( z=23.0, P<0.001), northern regions ( z=2.9, P<0.01), rural areas ( z=-5.2, P<0.001), those who were divorced/widowed ( z=3.8, P<0.001), and first-born twins ( z=-4.3, P<0.001), while lower smoking rates were found in those with higher education ( z=-16.1, P<0.001) and unmarried individuals ( z=-16.0, P<0.001). The smoking concordance rate for male monozygotic twins was 69.6%, significantly higher than the 57.3% concordance rate for dizygotic twins ( χ 2=105.0, P<0.05). The heritability of smoking behavior in male twins was estimated at 28.9% (95% CI: 24.3%-33.4%). Stratified analyses showed differences in heritability across regions and age groups: the heritability in northern regions was 32.6% (95% CI: 27.3%-38.0%), higher than the 21.0% (95% CI: 12.4%-29.5%) observed in southern regions; the highest heritability of 35.1% (95% CI: 26.3%-43.9%) was found in the 18-29 age group, with heritability decreasing with age. In conclusion, the smoking rate and influencing factors in the twin population are similar to those in the general population, with unique characteristics, such as higher smoking rates in first-born twins. Genetic factors have a significant impact on smoking behavior.
