Objective:To determine the median effective dose (ED 50) of sufentanil in inhibiting responses to tracheal intubation when combined with ciprofol in patients with Parkinson′s disease. Methods:This was a prospective study. American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients with Parkinson′s disease, aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-30.0 kg/m 2, of Mallampati grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing elective deep brain stimulator implantation with tracheal intubation in the Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from July 2022 to January 2024, were selected. Sufentanil, ciprofol 0.40 mg/kg and rocuronium 0.60 mg/kg were administrated intravenously and sequentially, and endotracheal intubation was performed after onset of muscle relaxation. A positive response was defined as an increase in heart rate or mean arterial pressure by more than 20% of the baseline value within 2 min after tracheal intubation. The initial dose of sufentanil was set at 0.36 μg/kg, the dose in the next patient was determined according to the response to tracheal intubation, and the ratio between the two successive doses was 1.2. The ED 50 and 95% confidence interval of sufentanil in inhibiting responses to tracheal intubation were calculated using the Dixon-Mood method. Results:The ED 50 (95% confidence interval) of sufentanil in inhibiting responses to tracheal intubation was 0.335 (0.298-0.378) μg/kg when combined with ciprofol. Conclusions:When combined with ciprofol 0.40 mg/kg, the ED 50 of sufentanil in inhibiting responses to tracheal intubation is 0.335 μg/kg in patients with Parkinson′s disease.

Objective: To explore the correlation between malocclusion and body image issues in college students. Methods: A total of 1 851 students in three universities in Jingmen were selected by using stratified cluster sampling method. Angle s classification of malocclusion was used to determine the number of three types of malocclusions. Body image issues were self reported and its relationship with different types of malocclusions was explored. Results: The proportions of Classes Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ malocclusion in college students with malocclusion were 71.21%, 16.32%, and 12.47%, respectively. The detection rates of body image issues among students with Classes Ⅰ,Ⅱ and III malocclusions were 36.64%, 54.78% and 65.83%, respectively. No significant difference were found in the detection rates of sexual organ issues and gender issues in college students with different types of malocclusions( χ 2= 0.75, 0.53, P >0.05). There were significant differences in the detection rates of appearance troubles (27.59%, 33.12%, 50.83% ) and stature troubles ( 24.09% , 31.21%, 44.17%) in students with Classes Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ malocclusions( χ 2=5.62, 2.89, P <0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of body image issues in college students increases with severity of malocclusions. Appearance and stature troubles are issues mostly concerned among college students. Psychological evaluation for students with Class Ⅲ malocclusion should be especially emphasized when administrating orthodontic treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the predictive role of the degree of prospective memory impairment on the treatment response to Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors （SSRIs） in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. MethodsA total of 30 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder who met the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fourth edition， text revision （DSM-IV-TR） were selected， and all patients were treated with SSRIs for 4 weeks. The severity of obsessive-compulsive symptom was assessed using Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale （Y-BOCS）， and the efficacy was evaluated by the reduction rate of Y-BOCS score. Moreover， the performance of event-based， time-based and activity-based prospective memory tasks were compared before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment， the total Y-BOCS score of patients was lower than before treatment ［（27.07±4.63） vs. （24.87±5.93）， F（1，29）=4.984， P=0.033］， meantime， the performance of event- and time- based prospective memory tasks was improved ［（0.78±0.21） vs. （0.88±0.11）， F（1，29）=9.022， P=0.005； （0.81±0.17） vs. （0.91±0.11）， F（1，29）=9.063， P=0.005］. Correlation analysis showed that the performance of event-based prospective memory at baseline was positively correlated with the reduction of Y-BOCS score （r=0.478， P=0.014）. The event-based prospective memory performance at baseline could positively predict the treatment response to SSRIs treatment in patients （β=0.441， P=0.014）. ConclusionThe event-based prospective memory function of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder can positively predict SSRIs treatment outcome， and patients with better prospective memory performance yield better treatment responses.

ObjectiveTo study the prospective memory deficits of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients and unaffected first-degree relatives of patients， so as to validate the possibility of prospective memory as an endophenotype of obsessive-compulsive disorder. MethodsHealthy controls， obsessive-compulsive disorder patients and unaffected first-degree relatives of patients， each with 25 cases， matched for age， education， gender， IQ and marriage status were enrolled. The standardized prospective memory paradigm with a multi-trial design was conducted， and the accuracy was used as an indicator of prospective memory function. ResultsThe accuracy of event- and time-based prospective memory tasks of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients was lower than that of healthy controls， with statistical differences ［（0.74±0.24） vs. （0.88±0.13）， d=-0.140， P=0.044； （0.77±0.21） vs. （0.93±0.10）， d=-0.164， P=0.011］. The accuracy of event-based prospective memory task of unaffected first-degree relatives was also lower than that of healthy controls， with statistical difference ［（0.73±0.20） vs. （0.88±0.13）， d=-0.144， P=0.036］. ConclusionObsessive-compulsive disorder patients has extensive prospective memory deficits， indicating that prospective memory may be an endophenotype of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Objective To explore the application effect of the experiential learning in the soft skills training of nursing students. Methods Using convenient sampling method to select one grade nursing students form a school in Guangzhou as the research objects, two classes were divided into the control group and the experimental group. The experimental group was trained by experiential learning, and the control group was trained by traditional teaching methods. After the training, the differences of nursing soft skills between the two groups were compared to evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of experiential learning in improving nursing soft skills. Results After training, the total score of nursing soft skills in the experimental group was 156.94 ± 13.97 and the control group was 150.61 ± 12.58, the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.039,P<0.05). Nearly 91.4%(32/35) of nursing students were satisfied or very satisfied with the training methods of experiential learning and nursing students thought that ability or cognitive were promoted and the top three were: interpersonal communication ability, cognition of nursing soft skills, and nursing service etiquette. Nearly 82.9% (29/35) of nursing students expressed that they were willing to receive nursing soft skills training in experiential learning. Conclusions Experiential learning can effectively improve nursing soft skills of nursing students and it is suitable for promotion and application in nursing teaching.

Objective: To understand the pollution characteristics and assess the pollution health risks of heavy metals in atmospheric PM_2.5 in Lanzhou. Methods: According to the regional characteristics of air pollution and industrial distribution characteristics in Lanzhou, atmospheric PM_2.5 was sampled monthly in Chengguan and Xigu Districts from January, 2015 to December, 2016. Detected the concentration of PM_2.5 and 12 kinds of elements (Sb, Al, As, Be, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, Mn, Ni, Se and Tl) by weighing method and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index were used to describe the pollution characteristics, while health risk assessment was conducted using the recommended United States Environmental Protection Agency (USA EPA) model. The health risks of non-carcinogens were evaluated by non-cancer hazard quotient (HQ), the non-carcinogenic risk was considered to be negligible when HQ<1, HQ>1 meant a health risk. With a single contaminant cancer Risk value to evaluate the health risks of carcinogens, when the Risk value between 10^-6 to10^-4 as an acceptable level. Results: The daily average concentrations of PM_2.5 was 83.0 μg/m³, 77.0 μg/m³ in Chengguan and Xigu Districts, respectively, during the sampling periods, and the concentration of PM_2.5 in winter/spring was higher than summer/fall in both districts. The concentration of Al in PM_2.5 was the highest and other elements in descending order: Pb, Mn, As, Sb/Cd, Tl in both districts. Enrichment factor results showed that Al and Mn were mainly affected by natural factors, the rest of five elements were all typical man-made pollution elements and according to geo-accumulation index pollution level of Cd was the strongest in the winter. The results of health risk assessment showed that Mn had the highest non-cancer risks (HQ>1) and affected the health of the children seriously. HQ reached up to 2.44 and 1.79 in Chengguan and Xigu Districts, respectively. Pb, As, Sb, Cd had slight health impact (HQ<1), could be negligible. The cancer risks range of As, Cr were 6.33×10^-6 to 6.46×10^-5 between the acceptable level of risk (10^-6 to 10^-4), which indicated that As and Cd had potential cancer-risks. Conclusions The pollution level of atmospheric PM_2.5 and the heavy metals in it was still grim;the non-cancer risks caused by multiple metals on children deserved attention. Although the cancer risks of As and Cd were between the acceptable level of risk, the potential cancer risk still shall not be ignored.

AIM:To investigate the effect of ozone bath on the pathological changes and the expression of cyto-kines,platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor-β3(TGF-β3), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),in the wounds of deep second-degree burns in rats. METHODS:Male clean-grade SD rats(n=80) were ran-domly divided into 2 groups, ozone bath group and routine dressing group (control group), with 40 rats in each group. Deep second-degree burn wound was established on the back of the rats,and then the examinations were conducted at 3 d, 7 d,14 d and 21 d after burn. For the routine dressing group,the wound was cleaned by normal saline and covered with io-dophor vaseline gauze every 2 d. For the ozone bath group,before the dressing,the rats were put into the clean foam box to accept ozone fumigation for 20 min(50 mg/L),and then accepted dressing change as the same as that in control group every 2 d. At each time point,the tissue specimens from these rat wounds(at wound center) were taken. The rats in ozone bath group received cleaning by saline cotton and then the ozone bath fumigation, while the rats in control group only re-ceived cleaning by saline. After that,the tissue specimens were taken again for HE staining,immunohistochemical staining and semiquantitative observation combined with image data analysis. The concentrations of the cytokines PDGF, TGF-β3 and TNF-α in the wound were measured by double-antibody sandwich ELISA. RESULTS:In ozone bath group, the wounds were smooth with clear edge and slight inflammatory reaction,swelling and exudation were weaker,and the wound healing rate was higher than that in control group with significant difference. Under microscopic observation with HE stai-ning,slighter inflammatory reaction in ozone bath group was observed than that in control group at each time point,and the numbers of fresh capillaries,fibroblasts and epithelial cells were significantly larger than those in control group. The ex-pression levels of PDGF and TGF-β3in the wound tissue homogenate in ozone bath group were higher,and the expression level of TNF-α was significantly lower than those in control group at each time point with significant difference. CONCLU-SION:The ozone bath therapy improves the local pathological changes and promotes the expression of cytokines PDGF and TGF-β3,which are associated with wound healing,as well as reduces the expression of inflammatory mediator TNF-α in the rats with deep second-degree burns,thus promoting the wound healing and anti-inflammatory responses.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the prevalence, current treatment, and clinical characteristics of asthma, as well as the risk factors for this disease, among children aged 0-14 years in 2010 in urban Zhongshan, China.

METHODSA total of 10 336 children aged 0-14 years were selected from urban Zhongshan by cluster random sampling. The Third National Childhood Asthma Epidemiological Questionnaire 2010 was used to analyze the prevalence, current treatment, and clinical characteristics of childhood asthma, as well as the risk factors for this disease.

RESULTSAsthma was diagnosed in 179 cases (1.73%). The prevalence of asthma in male children was significantly higher than that in female children (2.25% vs 1.16%; P<0.01). Of the 179 patients, severe attacks were common in 104 cases (58.1%), 110 cases (61.5%) had slow onset, 102 cases (57.0%) had gradually relieved conditions, 61 cases (34.1%) suffered from asthma during seasonal transition, and 150 cases (83.8%) developed asthma due to respiratory tract infection. Among all asthmatic children, 71.5% had been treated with inhaled corticosteroids, and 71.5% had been treated with bronchodilator. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a history of penicillin allergy, a family history of allergy, food allergy, eczema, allergic rhinitis, cesarean delivery, family mould, and perinatal passive smoking were independent risk factors for childhood asthma.

CONCLUSIONSThe prevalence of childhood asthma in urban Zhongshan is on a high level, and is associated with gender. The treatment of asthma has been standardized, but still needs further improvement. The onset of asthma attack is influenced by various factors.
