Objective:To explore the current status of self-management behavior in patients with inflammatory bowel disease and to construct a structural equation model to explore the mediating role of health literacy between discharge readiness and self-management behavior.Methods:From March to September 2023, 310 hospitalized patients with inflammatory bowel disease in the Tenth People ′s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University were selected as the research subjects by the convenience sampling method. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, the Health Literacy Management Scale, the Discharge Readiness Scale, and the Self-management Behavior Scale. Results:Eventually, 303 valid questionnaires were retrieved. Among the 303 patients, there were 190 males and 113 females, with an average age of (35.63 ± 16.41) years old. The total score of health literacy of patients with inflammatory bowel disease was (94.35 ± 10.78) points, indicating a health literacy compliance rate of 74.3%(225/303). The total score of discharge readiness was (79.52 ± 9.16) points, and the total score of self-management behavior was (135.22 ± 17.36) points. In patients with inflammatory bowel disease, the discharge readiness was positively correlated with the total score of health literacy ( r=0.748, P<0.01), the discharge readiness was positively correlated with the total score of self-management behavior ( r=0.821, P< 0.01), and the health literacy was positively correlated with the total score of self-management behavior ( r=0.767, P<0.01). Health literacy may serve as a mediating variable, partially explaining the relationship between discharge readiness and self-management behavior in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The mediating effect accounted for 47.5% of the total effect. Conclusions:Discharge readiness not only positively impacts self-management behavior among patients with inflammatory bowel disease but also indirectly influences this behavior through health literacy. It is essential for clinical healthcare professionals to prioritize the assessment of discharge readiness and health literacy among these patients. By improving discharge readiness and enhancing health literacy, clinical healthcare professionals can effectively support patients with inflammatory bowel disease in their self-management efforts.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective To construct a combined model integrating ultrasonic features and radiomics derived from ultrasound images,and to evaluate its diagnostic performance in re-assessing the benign or malignant nature of Bethesda Ⅲ nodules.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 442 patients with thyroid nodules classified as Bethesda Ⅲ after fine-needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB)between January 2019 and September 2024.All patients had undergone surgical pathology.The patients were randomly allocated into a training set and a testing set at a ratio of 7∶3.Relevant clinical characteristics were gathered,and regions of interest(ROI)were outlined on the most suspicious slice of the lesion prior to biopsy.Ultrasound radiomics features were extracted,key radiomics features were selected,and radiomics scores(Rad-score)were computed.The ultrasound model,radiomics model,and combined model were constructed.Subsequently,the diagnostic efficacy and clinical application value of each model were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis findings indicated that microcalci-fication,irregular margin,and Rad-score were independent risk factors for the malignant transformation of BethesdaⅢ nodules.In the testing set,the AUC values of the ultrasound model,radiomics model,and combined model were 0.76,0.71,and 0.81,respectively.The calibration curve of the combined model revealed a good consistency between the predicted values and the actual outcomes.The DCA of the testing set demonstrated that the combined model exhibited high clinical utility.Conclusion The combined model,established based on ultrasonic features and ultrasound radiomics,provides a higher predictive value for evaluating the malignancy risk of Bethesda Ⅲ nodules.

Objective:To develop a nutritional assessment scale for patients with inflammatory bowel disease and examine its reliability and validity for assessing nutritional literacy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.Methods:Based on the Nutbeam health literacy stratification model and knowledge-attitude-practice model, a preliminary scale was developed through literature review, semi-structured interviews, expert consultation and pre-surveys. A convenient sampling method was used to select 376 inflammatory bowel disease patients admitted to Tenth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from September, 2022 to April, 2023 for questionnaire surveys, and reliability and validity tests were conducted to form the final scale.Results:The nutritional assessment scale for inflammatory bowel disease included 39 items. Exploratory factor analysis identified five common factors: nutritional knowledge, nutritional attitudes, nutritional practices, information interaction ability, and information evaluation ability. These factors explained 65.431% of the total variance. The content validity index of the scale was 0.857, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.800 to 1.000. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.869, and the Cronbach α coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.847 to 0.922. Conclusions:The developed nutritional assessment scale for inflammatory bowel disease demonstrates good reliability and validity, allowing for effective evaluation of patients′nutritional status.

Objective:To explore the effect of nursing interventions based on systematic concept in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:From May 2018 to August 2019, 120 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes in Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital were selected by convenience sampling. The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 60 cases each. Patients in each group were given nursing interventions based on systematic concept and routine nursing respectively. The anxiety, depression, benefit finding and coping modes of the two groups were compared before and after the intervention.Results:Before the intervention, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in the scores of anxiety, depression, benefit finding and behavior pattern ( P>0.05) . After intervention, the scores of anxiety and depression in the two groups decreased, and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . After the intervention, the scores of benefit finding of the two groups increased, and that of the observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the scores of confronting of the two groups increased, and that of observation group was higher than that of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the scores of avoidance and resignation in the two groups decreased, and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Systematic concept nursing can reduce the anxiety and depression of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes, improve the benefit finding, increase the sense of benefit, and urge patients to adopt a positive coping style to deal with the disease.

Objective:To study the effect of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) expression level on migration and invasion of zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) in HepG2 liver cancer cells.Methods:Liver cancer cells were transfected with HBV full gene plasmid (pcDNA3.1-HBV1. 1 or pcDNA3.1-HBV1.3), empty plasmid (pcDNA3.1) and HBV-encoded protein plasmids (pHBc, pHBs, pHBp and pHBx), respectively. Western blot and RT-PCR were used to detect ZO1 protein and mRNA levels. Immunoprecipitation was used to detect transfected pHBx. Western blot was used to detect ZO1 ubiquitination levels. Transwell chambers were used to assess cell migration and invasion. Cell proliferation and lactate dehydrogenase assay was used to detect siRNA transfecting targeting ZO1. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and cycle. The data was compared between two and multiple groups by using an independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance.Results:Compared with the empty plasmid, ZO1 protein level in HepG2 cells after transiently transfected with pHBV1.1 and pHBV1.3 was decreased by 42.99% ± 6.8% and 55.0% 5 ± 4.56%, respectively, and their mRNA levels did not change significantly. ZO1 protein level in Huh7 cells was decreased by 17.46% ± 4.94% and 47.53% ± 3.38%, respectively. ZO1 protein level after transfection with pHBx was decreased by 47.02% ± 3.4%, while the ZO1 protein level after transfection with pHBc, pHBs and pHBp did not change significantly. ZO1 mRNA level was unaffected with pHBx transfection. ZO1 ubiquitin level and cell migration and invasion ability in HepG2 cells was significantly increased with transfected pHBx. HepG2 cells proliferation, apoptosis and cycle after transfection with ZO1-targeted siRNA did not change significantly, but the migration and invasion ability were significantly increased.Conclusion:HBx can increase the migration and invasion of liver cancer cells by promoting the ubiquitination and degradation of ZO1 protein level.

OBJECTIVE: The significance of lymph node dissection in the VI area of cN0 thyroid papillary carcinoma. METHOD: Collect 150 cases of patients diagnosed with cNO thyroid papillary carcinoma and they were performed thyroid gland lobe and isthmic portion excision including lateral VI area lymph node cleaning. The specimens were pathologic examined to determinate the size, the position, invasion of thyroid papillary carcinoma,the number and metastasis of lymph node, etc. RESULT: In the 150 patients performed the lymph node VI area groups cleaning, 93 cases had VI area of lymph node metastases, so the transfer rate was 62.0%. In the VI area, metastasis rate of tracheal side lymph nodes was 62.0% (93/150), lymph node before throat group was 4.67% (7/150), lymph node before trachea group was 3.33% (5/150), lymph nodes near the trachea laryngeal recurrent nerve ventral group was 52.0% (78/150), and next to the trachea laryngeal recurrent nerve dorsal lymph node group was 21.33% (32/ 150). CONCLUSION In CN0 thyroid papillary carcinoma, VI zone of lymph node metastasis rate is high, and region VI lymph node metastasis rate from high to low in order for: paratracheal lymph node, prelaryngeal lymph node, pretracheal lymph node. The metastasis rate of paratracheal throat back nerve ventral lymph node was the highest in central lymph node.
