Objective:To explore the correlation between post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD),resilience and quality of life of front-line medical staff in public health emergencies.Methods:From Nov to Dec 2020,the medical staff of 4 COVID-19 designated hospitals in Wuhan were investigated with the general demographic questionnaire,10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 and Simplify Qualify of Life Scale.Spearman correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation between PTSD,resilience and quality of life.Results:A total of 545 questionnaires were collected in this survey and the valid effective rate was 97.8% (533/545).The score of psychological resilience,PTSD and quality of life of medical staff were 26(20,30),17(8,25),and 20(18,23),respectively.And 13.1% (70/533)of medical staff had obvious PTSD symptoms.There were significant differences in the score of quality of life among medical staff with different genders,occupations and PTSD levels.Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the score of PTSD was negatively correlated with quality of life and psychological resilience(r=-0.488 and-0.464,P＜0.01).The score of psychological resilience was positively correlated with the score of quality of life(r =0.578,P＜0.01).Psychological resilience and PTSD were important predictors of quality of life,with an explanatory capacity of 37.0% .Conclusions:PTSD is a risk factor for quality of life,and psychological resilience is a protective factor for quality of life.In public health emergencies,improving psychological resilience,preventing and treating PTSD can improve the quality of life of medical staff.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of nutrition risk screening score 2002 (NRS-2002) and L3 skeletal muscle index (L3-SMI) for mortality within 90 days in patients with hepatitis B-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 162 cases with HBV-ACLF who were diagnosed and treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to December 2023. Patients were divided into a survival and death group according to the 90-day survival status following diagnosis, and the clinical data between the two groups were compared. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to screen out the influencing factors related to the occurrence of mortality events. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to compare the predictive value of NRS-2002 and L3-SMI for mortality within 90 days in patients with HBV-ACLF.Results:There were statistically significant differences in lymphocyte count (LY), platelet (PLT), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, international normalized ratio (INR), total bilirubin (TBil), urea, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, NRS-2002 score, and L3-SMI between the death and the survival group ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that higher levels of INR [odds ratio ( OR)=4.412, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 1.974-9.959, P<0.001], TBil ( OR=1.004, 95% CI: 1.001-1.007, P<0.05), MELD score ( OR=1.148, 95% CI: 1.071-1.232, P<0.001), NRS-2002 score ( OR=1.526, 95% CI: 1.194-1.950, P<0.05), and lower levels of LY ( OR=0.351, 95% CI: 0.103-0.755, P<0.01), and L3-SMI ( OR=0.902, 95% CI: 0.854-0.953, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality in patients with HBV-ACLF. The ROC curve showed that AUCL3-SMI was 0.706 and AUCNRS-2002 was 0.712. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the optimal cutoff point for the prediction of 90-day mortality was 0.5. The area under the ROC curve was 0.841 (95% CI: 0.763-0.926), which was significantly higher than the single application of the MELD, NRS-2002, and L3-SMI indicators. Conclusion:The 90-day mortality risk has a correlation with low L3-SMI and high NRS-2002 scores in patients with HBV-ACLF. The SNM model has a certain predictive value for mortality within 90 days in patients with HBV-ACLF.

Objective:To explore the high-risk factors for parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis（PNAC）in extremely/ultra-low birth weight infants，and establish a risk Alignment Diagram prediction model.Methods:We retrospectivly analyzed the clinical data of hospitalized extremely/ultra-low birth weight infants admitted to Neonatology Department at Quanzhou Children's Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020，using multivariate Logistic regression analysis to screen for independent risk factors for the occurrence of PNAC.An Alignment Diagram model prediction model for PNAC was constructed by using R software，and the performance of the model was evaluated through receiver operating characteristic curves.Results:A total of 203 extremely/ultra-low birth weight infants were included，with a median gestational age of 29.14（28.00，30.86）weeks and a median birth weight of 1　170（1　000,1　300）g.Among them，26（12.81%）cases developed PNAC.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of parenteral nutrition（ OR=1.015 ，95% CI 1.003-1.034），the cumulative amount of glucose（ OR=1.014 ，95% CI 1.001-1.028），small for gestational age（ OR=3.455 ，95% CI 1.127-10.589），and neonatal sepsis（ OR=3.142 ，95% CI 1.039-9.503）were independent risk factors for PNAC（ P＜0.05）；The four independent risk factors mentioned above were introduced into R software to construct an Alignment Diagram model，the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.835（95% CI 0.842-0.731），and the results of the Hosmer Limeshow goodness of fit test show that：χ 2=5.34，degree of freedom=8， P=0.72.A calibration curve indicated good consistency between the predicted probability of the model and the actual occurrence rate，with good accuracy. Conclusion:The Alignment Diagram model constructed based on four independent risk factors of the duration of parenteral nutrition，glucose accumulation，small for gestational age infants，and neonatal sepsis exhibits high predictive ability，and is expected to provide an intuitive and convenient visualization tool for preventing or reducing the occurrence of PNAC in extremely/ultra-low birth weight infants

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of immunoadsorption in highly sensitized kidney transplant (KT) candidates.Methods:From September 2019 to April 2023, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 26 highly sensitized KT recipients. Protein A immunoadsorption desensitization therapy was offered after KT. The effect of immunosorbent on reducing anti-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies was summarized. And operative success rate and postoperative complication incidence were calculated.Results:The mean number of treatment session was (10.76±5.53). The highest level of HLA-Ⅰ antibody mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) dropped from (17 921±4 442) to (7 333±6 434) with a decline of 59% and HLA-Ⅱ antibody MFI decreased from (21 135±5 245) to (10 989±7 627) with a decline of 48%. The differences were statistically significant (both P<0.001). All kidneys were harvested from cadavers. The complications were acute antibody mediated rejection (7 cases), perioperative pulmonary infection (3 cases) and myelosuppression (2 cases). The average follow-up period was (30.8±12.6) month. The graft survival rate was 88.5% (23/26) and the recipient survival rate 100% (26/26) . Conclusions:Immunoadsorption therapy can effectively reduce HLA antibody in highly sensitized KT candidates, thereby increasing the probability of successful KT. In terms of safety, immunosorbent therapy may boost the potential risks of infection and myelosuppression. It requires heightened attention.

Objective:To explore the application value of situational bilingual teaching in standardized residency training of gynecology.Methods:The study enrolled 64 gynecological residents of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, and they were randomized into experimental group and control group, with 32 residents in each group. The control group was taught by the traditional teaching method, using self-compiled teaching materials of our hospital. The experimental group was taught by the situational bilingual teaching mode, and the teaching materials were the same as those of the control group. The training time of the two groups was two months. After teaching, the training effect was evaluated through examination and satisfaction survey. SPSS 22.0 software was used for t test and chi-square test. Results:After training, the scores of theoretical knowledge, operation skills and case analysis in the experimental group were significantly higher than those before training and after training in the control group ( P<0.05). The learning interest, autonomous learning ability, theoretical knowledge mastery, clinical thinking ability and communication ability of the experimental group were significantly better than those of the control group ( P<0.05). The number of residents who were very satisfied with the training was significantly higher than that of the control group, and that of residents who were basically satisfied with the training were less than that of the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of situational bilingual teaching in the standardized residency training of gynecology has good teaching effects, which can significantly improve the theoretical performance, clinical operation ability and case analysis ability of the training residents, and also improve the satisfaction of the training residents.

Objective:To investigate the differences of white matter diffusion properties between vulnerable and resistant individuals to continuous attention after sleep deprivation.Methods:According to the psychomotor vigilance test performance before and after sleep deprivation, the participants were divided into the vulnerable group( n=24) and resistant group( n=25). All participants underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) scans.Tract based spatial statistics(TBSS) was used to compare fractional anisotropy(FA), mean diffusivity(MD), axial diffusivity(AD), radial diffusivity(RD) maps between the two groups.Spearman correlation analysis was conducted by SPSS 24.0 to investigate the relationships between the altered DTI metrics and PVT task performance. Results:(1) Compared with resistant group, FA value of vulnerable group decreased in the body of corpus callosum(x, y, z=-8, 9, 25, t=-7.855), right superior longitudinal fasciculus(x, y, z=-39, -7, 26, t=-6.252), bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule(x, y, z=-13, 8, 13, t=-5.235; x, y, z=12, 8, 3, t=-5.024) and right posterior thalamic radiation(x, y, z=-26, -56, 17, t=-5.469)(TFCE corrected, P<0.05, cluster size≥50 voxel). (2) Compared with resistant group, MD value of vulnerable group increased in the body of corpus callosum(x, y, z=-3, -6, 26, t=7.613), right superior longitudinal fasciculus(x, y, z=-31, -19, 38, t=5.314), bilateral anterior limb of internal capsule(x, y, z=-16, 7, 8, t=6.898; x, y, z=15, 5, 7, t=6.652), splenium of corpus callosum(x, y, z=27, -53, 17, t=6.541), and AD value increased in the right superior longitudinal fasciculus(x, y, z=-33, -19, 39, t=4.892), splenium of corpus callosum(x, y, z=-22, -49, 21, t=5.450), genu of corpus callosum(x, y, z=4, 26, 0, t=4.332), as well as RD value increased in the right superior corona radiata(x, y, z=-17, 1, 33, t=7.558), body of corpus callosum(x, y, z=4, -8, 26, t=6.699), right anterior limb of internal capsule(x, y, z=-12, 7, 3, t=5.212) (TFCE corrected, P<0.05, cluster size≥50 voxel). (3) Correlational analysis revealed that the negative correlations were found between PVT task performance and the FA value in the right superior longitudinal fasciculus( r=-0.492, P<0.001), right anterior limb of internal capsule( r=-0.510, P<0.001), right posterior thalamic radiation( r=-0.502, P<0.001) and body of corpus callosum( r=-0.464, P<0.001). The positive correlations were found between PVT task performance and the MD value in the body of corpus callosum( r=0.500, P<0.001), right superior longitudinal fasciculus( r=0.499, P<0.001), splenium of corpus callosum( r=0.462, P<0.001), right anterior limb of internal capsule( r=0.471, P<0.001), and AD value in right superior longitudinal fasciculus( r=0.643, P<0.001), as well as RD value in right superior corona radiate( r=0.498, P<0.001) (Bonferroni corrected, P<0.003). Conclusion:Differences in the microstructural characteristics of white matter fiber tracts in specific brain regions may constitute the potential neuropathological basis for the phenotypes of vulnerable and resistant individuals to continuous attention after sleep deprivation.
