After peripheral nerve injury, nerve regeneration is slow, and skeletal muscles gradually atrophy due to long-term lack of nerve innervation, nutrient deficiency, and lack of stimulation of nerve electrical stimulation. Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) and epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB) can activate multiple complex intracellular signaling networks to affect the nerves and muscles. This article reviews the regulatory effect of NRG-1/ErbB signaling pathway on peripheral nerves, muscles, and neuromuscular junctions, aiming to provide references for finding new therapeutic target for denervated muscle atrophy.

Objective To identify key safety hazards in the logistics department of a tertiary hospital in Nanjing,analyze their root causes,and implement targeted measures to reduce risk occurrence.Methods Hospital logistics hazard records were reviewed,and risk assessments were conducted.Root cause analysis(RCA)was used to identify proximal and root causes of risks,followed by corresponding countermeasures.Results Proximal causes of hazards included lack of knowledge/skills and imperfect operational procedures,while root causes involved inadequate risk management frameworks and limited inspection cate-gories.By clarifying management structures,optimizing inspection processes,and strengthening incentive mechanisms,the sam-ple hospital achieved significant increases in hazard detection and reductions in adverse events.Conclusion The study demon-strates that systematic safety inspections and hazard rectification mechanisms can effectively mitigate hospital logistics safety risks.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of hearing loss among helicopter flying personnel, and to analyze the contributing factors.Methods:Basic data of 443 male helicopter flying personnel who received physical examinations at Beidaihe Rehabilitation and Recuperation Center of PLA between March and June 2024 was collected. The hearing threshold levels were measured at 8 frequencies: 250, 500, 1 000, 2 000, 3 000, 4 000, 6 000 and 8 000 Hz. Routine blood tests and blood biochemical tests were performed. Based on the results of pure-tone audiometry, the participants were divided into 2 groups: the hearing loss group (hearing threshold ≤20 dB HL) and the normal hearing group (hearing threshold >20 dB HL). The basic data, routine blood results, and blood biochemical indicators were compared between the 2 groups before the contributors to hearing loss were analyzed.Results:A total of 443 helicopter flying personnel were included in the study, with 82 cases (18.51%) in the hearing loss group and 361 cases (81.49%) in the normal hearing group. There were significant differences in age and pulse between the flying personnel in the 2 groups ( t=2.13, 2.78, P=0.034, 0.006). Among the blood routine indicators, only the mean platelet volume (MPV) was significantly different ( t=2.26, P=0.025). Among the blood biochemical indicators, only homocysteine (HCY) revealed statistically significant difference ( Z=2.30, P=0.021). The determinants of hearing loss in helicopter flying personnel were age ( OR=1.046, 95% CI: 1.060-1.361), pulse ( OR=1.201, 95% CI: 1.060-1.361), MPV ( OR=1.365, 95% CI: 1.016-1.834) and HCY ( OR=1.065, 95% CI: 1.033-1.097). Conclusions:Age, pulse, the MPV and HCY levels can all contribute to hearing loss, and the MPV and HCY can serve as potential biomarkers for hearing loss in helicopter flying personnel. Potential hearing loss should be detected early and personalized interventions should be implemented. Noise exposure should be monitored more rigorously to reduce the risk of occupational hearing loss for helicopter flying personnel and ensure flight safety.

Objective To investigate the role of long non-coding RNA-small nucleolar RNA host gene 3(lncRNA-Snhg3)and its regulatory mechanism in the hepatic glucose metabolism of mice.Methods Adenovirus Snhg3 was over-expressed by the tail vein injection in db/db mice,and then glucose tolerance and pyruvate tolerance were meas-ured.The mRNA expression of mouse liver gluconeogenesis-related genes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase(Pepck)and glucose-6-phosphatase(G6pc)and stress-inducing protein 2(Sestrin2,Sesn2,a gene adjacent to Snhg3)were de-tected by RT-qPCR.The dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the effect of Snhg3 on the Sesn2 promoter activity in 293T cells.Results Snhg3 over-expression improved glucose tolerance and pyruvate tolerance in db/db mice.Snhg3 over-expression inhibited the mRNA of gluconeogenesis genes of Pepck(P＜0.05)and G6pc(P＜0.05),while promoted the mRNA of Sesn2(P＜0.01).Meanwhile,Snhg3 over-expression promoted Sesn2 promoter activity in 293T cells(P＜0.05).Conclusions Snhg3 improves glucose metabolism in mice by promoting Sestrin2 expression.

A 36-year-old male developed unconsciousness and no response to voice stimuli after taking approximately 2 050 mg felodipine (the specific time was unknown). Two hours later, he was sent to the department of emergency by his family and admitted to the hospital. His vital signs showed body temperature 35.1 ℃, pulse 148 times/min, respiration 32 times/min, and blood pressure 65/34 mmHg. Acute drug poisoning, acute toxic cardiomyopathy, acute toxic shock, acute type Ⅱ respiratory failure, acute toxic encephalopathy, and acute renal failure were diagnosed based on the patient′s clinical manifestations combined with laboratory tests results, cardiac ultrasound, chest and abdominal CT scans. Endotracheal intubation connected to a ventilator for invasive assisted ventilation, pressure boosting, and fluid resuscitation were given. At the same time, repeated gastric lavage and enema were performed to remove toxins. Blood perfusion was intermittently and repeatedly administered, and continuous renal replacement therapy was used. The blood concentration of felodipine was 1 298 μg/L at 2 hours after admission, and cardiac arrest occurred at 4 hours. Venous-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) treatment was administered immediately. After 48 hours of ECMO operation, sedatives were discontinued and the patient′s consciousness was improved after 4 hours. On the 5th day of ECMO treatment, his heart rate was 72 beats per minute, and blood pressure was 127/65 mmHg. The blood concentration of felodipine decreased to 2 μg/L. The patient′s vital signs were significantly improved and ECMO supportive treatment was withdrawn. After 26 days of hospitalization, the patient recovered and was discharged.

Objective:To construct a training program for epilepsy specialist nurses, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the training and development of epilepsy specialist nurses.Methods:A preliminary training program for epilepsy specialist nurses was developed based on literature review, semi-structured interview, focus group discussion and clinical practice experience. Delphi method was used to select 20 experts from several regions of China for two rounds of consultation.Results:In the two rounds of expert consultation, the effective recovery rate of the questionnaire was both 100%, the expert authority coefficient was 0.908 and 0.958, and the degree of coordination of expert opinions was 0.180 to 0.229 and 0.138 to 0.189, respectively ( P<0.05). The standardized training program for epilepsy specialist nurses was finally constructed, including 5 first-level indicators (admission conditions, general theory courses, specialty theory courses, specialty nursing practice courses, training modes and effectiveness evaluation), 15 second-level indicators and 61 third-level indicators. Conclusions:The training program constructed for epilepsy specialist nurses is scientific and reasonable, with certain reliability and practicality, which provides a theoretical basis for the training of epilepsy specialist nurses, and promotes the common development of China's epilepsy specialist nurse team.

Objective:To retrospectively seek any correlation between hemoglobin (Hb) levels and post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI), and to explore the value of Hb levels in PSCI diagnosis and prediction.Methods:The Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to sort elderly persons who had suffered a first stroke into a PSCI group showing cognitive impairment and a PSNCI group which was not cognitively impaired. Healthy counterparts undergoing physical examinations were selected into a healthy group. Everyone′s white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NC), lymphocyte count (LC), monocyte count (MONO), platelet count (PLT) and Hb, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were recorded. Monocyte to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios (MHRs), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios (NLRs), and platelet to lymphocyte ratios (PLRs) were calculated. The differences among the three groups were compared seeking to identify risk factors predicting PSCI.Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, WBC, MONO, PLT, TG or MHR among the three groups, on average. But there were significant differences in NC, LC, Hb, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, NLR and PLR. Spearman correlation analysis showed that NC, NLR and PLR were negatively correlated with the average MMSE score, while LC, Hb, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C were positively correlated with it. Logistic regression analysis showed that a low level of Hb was an independent risk factor for PSCI for the elderly stroke survivors. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) for Hb was 0.794 for predicting PSCI in elderly stroke patients, with a maximum Youden index of 0.496. The critical value of Hb was estimated as 138.5g/L.Conclusions:Hb levels can significantly predict the cognitive functioning of elderly stroke survivors. An Hb level below 138.5g/L is an independent risk factor for PSCI, while higher Hb levels may indicate cognitive benefits.

Osteoporosis is highly prevalent and a leading cause of disability and death in the elderly. Bone metabolism homeostasis is maintained through the coupling of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. While current treatments can reduce bone loss, they may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort. Neuroboneology has gained attention as the nervous system, both directly and indirectly, influences bone metabolism, remodeling, and formation. Studies have also highlighted the role of peripheral nerves and blood vessels in bone health. Neuropeptides, small signaling molecules produced by neurons, regulate vascular function and bone homeostasis. These neuropeptides may offer new insights into the "peripheral nerve-angiogenesis-bone homeostasis" regulation theory. This study explores the impact of peripheral nerves on osteoporosis through neuropeptides.
