ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of ethical sensitivity among clinical nursing interns in the context of artificial intelligence （AI） and analyze its influencing factors. MethodsAdopting mixed research methods and convenience sampling， a total of 237 nursing interns from a tertiary A hospital in Xi’an were selected as research subjects. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and the Nursing Students’ Ethical Sensitivity Scale， and semi-structured interviews were conducted with 8 nursing interns. ResultsThe total score of ethical sensitivity among nursing interns was （33.98±6.32）， which was at a moderate level. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that academic degree （undergraduate： β=0.147， P<0.05； postgraduate： β=0.139， P<0.05）， affinity for the nursing profession （β=0.118， P<0.05）， whether they had taken nursing ethics courses （β=-0.124， P<0.05）， and familiarity with artificial intelligence （β=-0.159，P<0.05） were influencing factors of ethical sensitivity among nursing interns. Four themes were extracted from semi-structured interviews， namely， the incomplete mastery of nursing ethics-related knowledge among nursing interns， weakened ethical sensitivity in the AI teaching scenario of nursing interns， insufficient professional identity affecting the development of nursing interns’ ethical sensitivity， and technological dependence leading to the lack of humanistic care among nursing interns. ConclusionEthical sensitivity of nursing interns represents a moderate level， primarily influenced by educational background， degree of fondness for the nursing profession， learning experience of nursing ethics courses， and familiarity with AI. Nursing educators and clinical administrators urgently need to establish a sustainable school-hospital collaborative model of nursing ethics education， attach importance to the cultivation of ethical awareness and value guidance for nursing interns， and strengthen the intensity and depth of nursing ethics education among nursing interns， thereby improving their level of ethical sensitivity in the context of AI.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty and traditional open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 70 patients with AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture who were admitted to Wuhan Fourth Hospital from September 2019 to October 2022, including 35 males and 35 females, aged 24-62 years [(44.9±9.5)years]. Among them, 41 patients underwent traditional open reduction and internal fixation (open reduction group), while 29 patients underwent robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty (balloon group). The following parameters were compared between the two groups: incision length, operative blood loss, number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, operation duration, and length of hospital stay; Rasmussen radiological scores at 3 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up and the fracture healing time; pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores preoperatively, and at 2 days and 3 months postoperatively; knee joint range of motion at 5 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function scores at 3, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; incidence rate of complications at 15 days postoperatively.Results:All the patients were followed for 12-24 months [18(17, 20)months]. The incision length, operative blood loss and length of hospital stay in the balloon group were 1.6(1.5, 3.0)cm, 5.0(5.0, 5.0)ml and 11.0(9.0, 14.0)days, less than those in the open reduction group [12.0(11.0, 12.0)cm, 100.0(50.0, 120.0)ml and 15.0(13.0, 20.0)days] ( P<0.01). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopies and operation duration in the open reduction group were 9.0(7.0, 10.0)times and 75.0(60.0, 90.0)minutes, less than those in the balloon group [336.0(335.0, 340.0)times and [90.0(70.0, 105.0)minutes] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the Rasmussen radiological scores between the two groups at 3 days, 3 months postoperatively, or at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time in the balloon group was 3.0(3.0, 3.0)months, shorter than 3.0(3.0, 3.5)months in the open reduction group ( P<0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in VAS scores before operation or at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). However, the VAS score was 2.0(2.0, 3.0)points at 2 days postoperatively in the balloon group, lower than 5.0(5.0, 6.0)points in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). The knee joint range of motion at 5 days, 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 90.0(85.0, 90.0)°, 135.0(130.0, 135.0)° and 140.0(135.0, 140.0)° in the balloon group, better than 65.0(60.0, 70.0)°, 125.0(120.0, 130.0)°, 130.0(130.0, 140.0)° in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). Similarly, the HSS knee function scores at 3, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 80.0(80.0, 81.0)points, 91.0(90.0, 92.0)points, and 95.0(93.0, 96.0)points in the balloon group, better than 71.0(70.0, 72.0)points, 83.0(81.0, 84.0)points, and 86.0(84.0, 88.0)points in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). The incidence rate of complications in the balloon group was 0, comparable to 12% (5/41) in the open reduction group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional open reduction and internal fixation surgery, robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty in the treatment of AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture significantly reduces surgical trauma, alleviates postoperative pain, promotes fracture healing, and accelerates functional recovery of the affected limbs.

Objective To evaluate the application value of fascial platform versus commercial platform in transumbilical single-port laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal repair(TAPP)for inguinal hernia.Methods One hundred patients with inguinal hernia admitted between January and December 2024 were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to either the fascial platform group(n=50)or the commercial platform group(n=50)by using a random number table.The following parameters were compared between the two groups:platform establishment time,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,incision suture time,operative difficulty score,camera manipulation difficulty score,postoperative 24-hour Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score of pain,postoperative hospital stay,total hospitalization cost,comprehensive satisfaction score,and postoperative complications.Results The fascial platform group demonstrated significantly superior outcomes compared to the commercial platform group in platform establishment time[(3.4±1.0)min vs.(8.1±1.5)min,t=-18.389,P＜0.001],operative time[(67.5±7.9)min vs.(72.2±11.5)min,t=-2.380,P=0.019],intraoperative blood loss[(8.3±4.3)ml vs.(11.1±5.7)ml,t=-2.798,P=0.006],incision suture time[(7.0±1.4)min vs.(11.8±2.7)min,t=-11.212,P＜0.001],operative difficulty score(14.4±3.6 vs.23.1±4.1,t=-11.215,P＜0.001),camera manipulation difficulty score(11.4±2.6 vs.18.3±2.5,t=-13.370,P＜0.001),VAS score of postoperative 24-hour pain(2.4±1.0 vs.3.7±1.1,t=-6.139,P＜0.001),total hospitalization cost[(15.8±1.6)thousand yuan vs.(18.3±1.6)thousand yuan,t=-7.841,P＜0.001],and comprehensive satisfaction score(7.3±1.1 vs.6.3±1.0,t=5.271,P＜0.001).However,there were no statistically significant differences in postoperative hospital stay or postoperative complication between the two groups(P＞0.05).All the patients were followed up for 1-12 months postoperatively[(5.3±1.8)months vs.(5.7±2.0)months,t=-0.945,P=0.347],with no recurrence observed in either group.Conclusions Both fascial platform and commercial platform can be used for transumbilical single-port TAPP.The fascial platform offers advantages including shorter platform establishment time,reduced incision suture time,lower operative and camera manipulation difficulty,decreased cost,less postoperative pain,and higher patient satisfaction.

Spinal cord injury(SCI)is a structural and functional disruption of the spinal cord caused by various factors,leading to neurological dysfunction.As a common central nervous system disorder in clinical practice,SCI poses significant risks to human life and health.Its pathological mechanism is exceedingly complex,involving multiple pathological processes.Given the irreversibility of primary injury,targeting secondary injury has gradually become the main direction for the clinical treatment of SCI in recent years.Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of blood-spinal cord barrier damage and microvascular dysfunction in the progression of secondary injury following SCI.Therefore,investigating the pathological mechanisms of microcirculation and exploring targeted therapies could provide valuable insights for clinical SCI treatment.This paper aims to provide an objective review of the role of microcirculation in SCI,identify the critical regulators of microvascular function,and summarize strategies for treating SCI by targeting microcirculation.The findings of this study may offer novel references for the clinical management of SCI.

Spinal cord injury(SCI)is a central nervous system disease with high morbidity and disability rates,bringing serious economic and psychological burdens to families and society worldwide.AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)is an important sensor in the energy metabolism process in living organisms,which plays a central role in maintaining energy balance.It is currently considered a key target for the prevention and treatment of multiple diseases.Studies have shown that AMPK signaling can regulate autophagy,neuroinflammation,oxidative stress,mitochondrial function and other processes after SCI,thus affecting the pathological process of SCI.This review summarizes the research progress on AMPK signaling pathway involved in the regulation of SCI,in order to provide new ideas for the treatment and drug development of SCI.

As early mobilization of patients in the intensive care unit(ICU)is increasingly recognized as a key measure for improving patient prognosis and reducing complications,related research is increasing.However,conventional early mobilization methods are often limited by factors such as patient condition,nursing resources,and environmental factors,making it difficult to achieve optimal results.In recent years,virtual reality(VR)technology,owing to its unique immersion and interactive features,has emerged as a focus of research in the field of ICU patient rehabilitation.This review summarizes the advances in the application of VR technology in the early mobilization of ICU patients,focusing on its advantages over traditional methods,specific implementation approaches,clinical outcomes,and challenges encountered during application.By synthesizing existing evidence,this review aims to provide valuable references for clinical practice and to explore future directions for VR technology in ICU rehabilitation,with the goal of promoting its widespread application in the early mobilization of critically ill patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of estrogen signaling on T-cell recruitment and polarization in acutely injured skeletal muscle.Methods One hundred C57BL/6 male mice,one hundred and eighty C57BL/6 female mice were selected.Twenty-five female mice were ovariectomized(OVX)and 10 male mice were taken as the sham-operated(sham).Then,cardiotoxin(CTX)induced tibialis anterior(TA)injury for preparing mice myoinjury model.Subcutaneous injection of 17β-estradiol(E2)or estrogen receptor antagonist 4-hydroxytamoxifen(4-OHT)was performed.A total of 140 mice(70 males and 70 females)were divided into four group including:PBS-male,CTX-male,PBS-female,and CTX-female.Serum estradiol(E2)levels were measured by ELISA,and muscle injury models were validated via HE staining.Subsequently,20 male and 20 female mice were selected for immunofluorescence(IF)and Real-time PCR to assess estrogen receptors(ER)expression in injured muscle tissue.Further,10 male and 40 female mice were allocated into five experimental groups,including CTX,CTX+E2,CTX+4-OHT,CTX+OVX,CTX+sham.HE staining and IF were performed to evaluate inflammatory infiltration in the injured muscle.Additionally,50 female mice were divided into CTX and CTX+OVX groups,and IF combined with flow cytometry were used to analyze T-cell phenotypes and muscle fiber regeneration in the injured muscle.Results In vivo,serum E2 and myofiber ERβ increased post-injury in mice of both sexes,significantly higher in females.Compared to the control group,E2 alleviated inflammation,OVX exacerbated inflammation,increased CD4+T-cell infiltration,elevated T helper 1 cell(Th1)response,decreased regulatory T cells(Tregs),impaired regeneration.In vitro,IFN-γ/LPS significantly upregulated ERβ in myotubes.Conclusion Estrogen signaling critically regulates muscle inflammation.Estrogen deficiency(OVX)delays repair of skeletal muscle by promoting Th1 response and suppressing Tregs function.

Objective To investigate the status of population dynamics and distribution changes of Aedes aegypti in Guangdong Province.Methods Continuous monitoring was conducted from May 2018 to July 2024 in Wushi Town and Qishui Town,Leizhou City,Zhanjiang City,Guangdong Province.Additionally,a survey of the distribution of Ae.aegypti along the Leizhou Peninsula coast was carried out.Results The density of Ae.aegypti in Zhanjiang showed a gradual decline from 2018 to 2024.The last detection of adult Ae.aegypti in Wushi Town was in September 2021,and the last larva was found in October 2023.No Ae.aegypti was detected in Qishui Town during surveys from 2021 to 2024.A survey of 18 coastal villages in the Leizhou Peninsula revealed no detections of Ae.aegypti.Conclusions This study provides a basis for understanding the distribution and population density fluctuations of Ae.aegypti,assessing its invasion risk,and scientifically conducting relevant prevention and control efforts.
