Objective To verify the radiation shielding effects of a self-developed protective shield for infant bedside X-ray radiography, and measure the dose distribution in the indoor radiation field with and without the shield, and to provide guidance for the radiation protection of infants sharing the room. Methods A MUX-100J mobile medical diagnostic X-ray machine was used as the radiographic device to simulate the exposure conditions of infant bedside X-ray radiography. The ambient dose equivalent rates at measurement points in eight directions on the irradiation plane in the indoor radiation field were measured with and without the protective shield using an AT1121 X/γ dose rate meter under the conventional condition of 56 kV and the maximum single exposure time. Results During infant bedside X-ray radiography, the dose levels in all directions on the irradiation plane within 150 cm from the scatterer center were essentially symmetrically distributed. The ambient dose equivalent rate at 100 cm from the scatterer center on the irradiation plane was (8.01-8.28)×103 μSv/h without the protective shield and 48-84 μSv/h with the shield. At various distances from the scatterer center in all directions on the irradiation plane, the doses measured with the protective shield ranged from 0.34% to 14.12% of those measured without the shield, with an average of 1.85%. Conclusion The dose levels in the indoor radiation field were significantly reduced with the protective shield during infant bedside X-ray radiography. The use of the protective shield can effectively reduce the radiation risk for individuals near the radiographic site within the same room.

Farrerol is a dihydroflavone compound extracted from the dried leaves of Rhododendron dauricum belonging to the Ericaceae family. This article systematically reviews relevant research on farrerol both domestically and internationally, summarizes its pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action, and finds that it exerts cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effects by maintaining the homeostasis of vascular endothelial function and inhibiting vascular intimal hyperplasia; exerts renal protective effects by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling pathway to reduce renal damage; exerts liver protective effects by inhibiting the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway, activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway, improving insulin resistance, and reducing lipid deposition in the liver; exerts neuroprotective effects by activating the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway, inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4 and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathways to reduce neuroinflammatory damage; exerts bone protective effects by promoting tendon formation and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation; exerts antitumor effects by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and weakening tumor cell invasion and metastasis; and exerts antibacterial effects by downregulating α -toxin expression, interfering with β -lactamase/penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a), and inhibiting PBP2a oligomerization. Currently, research on the pharmacological effects of farrerol is still mainly focused on animal and cell experiments. Further mechanistic studies and clinical trials are needed to provide theoretical basis for its new drug development and clinical application.

Objective:To establish a standardized code database of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) terms related to linezolid and analyze the common ADRs of linezolid.Methods:Linezolid drug labels, websites (including Side Effect Resource, and the official websites of US Food and Drug Administration, European Medicines Agency and National Medical Products Administration) and scientific literature database (including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases) were systematically searched, and ADR terms about linezolid were collected. ADR terms were mapped to the international classification of diseases-10 (ICD-10) code to establish a linezolid adverse reaction database.Results:A total of 117 ADR terms about linezolid were collected and 91 ICD-10 codes were obtained after being mapped to ICD-10. A standardized database was constructed and successfully embedded into the ADR spontaneous reporting system as a specific drug submodule. The gastrointestinal system, skin and subcutaneous tissue system, various nervous systems, blood and lymphatic systems were the most common system organs involved in linezolid-related ADRs under the 91 ICD-10 codes. Among them, ADRs under the gastrointestinal system codes K14.302 (black hairy tongue) and K52.104 (drug-induced gastroenteritis and colitis), the skin and subcutaneous tissue system code L27.005 (drug-induced dermatitis), various nervous system codes G90.800 (other disorders of autonomic nervous system), G62.001 (drug-induced polyneuropathy) and G44.400 (drug-induced headache, not elsewhere classified), the blood and lymphatic system codes D69.502 (drug- induced thrombocytopenia) and D70.x02 (drug-induced granulocytopenia), the metabolic and nutritional codes E87.204 (lactic acidosis), as well as the endocrine system code E16.000 (drug-induced hypoglycaemia without coma) had been reported frequently in the scientific literature. In addition, there were 14 ADR terms related to linezolid under 13 ICD-10 codes not recorded in the drug instructions.Conclusions:It is feasible to use ICD-10 code to standardize ADR terms related to linezolid and establish a database. Common ADRs of linezolid include thrombocytopenia, lactic acidosis, neutropenia, black hairy tongue, gastroenteritis/colitis, hypoglycemia, rash, serotonin syndrome, peripheral neuropathy and headache, which should be paid attention to and researched furtherly.

Objective:To explore the application of nursing intervention based on the capability, opportunity, motivation-behavior model (COM-B) in stroke patients during the rehabilitation period.Methods:Using the convenience sampling method, 146 stroke patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from February 2021 to February 2024 were selected as the research objects. According to the admission time sequence, they were divided into the COM-B group and the routine group, with 73 cases in each group. The routine group received routine nursing measures, and the COM-B group was intervened with the COM-B intervention, both for 3 months. The scores of the Health Education Self-Management Scale for Stroke Patients (HES-SP), the Exercise of Self-Care Agency Scale (ESCA), the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), and the Barthel Index of the two groups before and after the intervention were compared.Results:Finally, 72 patients in the COM-B group and 71 patients in the routine group completed the study. After 3 months of intervention, the scores of ESCA, HES-SP, FMA, and the Barthel Index of the two groups were all higher than those before the intervention, and the scores of COM-B group were all higher than those of the routine group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The application of the COM-B intervention in stroke patients can improve patients' healthy behaviors and self-care abilities, and enhance their limb motor function and activities of daily living abilities, with a good application effect.

Objective:To identify the risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs after total hip arthroplasty (THA) in elderly patients.Methods:Medical records of elderly patients, aged ≥ 65 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ-Ⅳ, who underwent unilateral THA from June 2013 to May 2019, were retrospectively collected. Postoperative screening for DVT was performed using Doppler ultrasound, and the patients were divided into non-DVT group and DVT group based on the results. Logistic regression analysis was then employed to identify the risk factors associated with DVT.Results:The results of logistic regression analysis revealed that female, preoperative C-reaction protein concentration>8 mg/L, intraoperative hypotension, and postoperative transfer to intensive care unit were independent risk factors for DVT after THA in elderly patients ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Female, preoperative C-reaction protein concentration>8 mg/L, intraoperative hypotension, and postoperative transfer to intensive care unit are independent risk factors for DVT in lower limbs following THA in elderly patients.

Anticipatory anxiety is a negative emotion that arises when individuals encounter potential threats or uncertainties in the future. It is the core symptom of a variety of anxiety disorders, and is closely associated with the occurrence, severity, treatment outcome, and prognosis of anxiety disorders, which has garnered a growing amount of focus in clinical practice. Nevertheless, scientific research on anticipatory anxiety continues to face obstacles such as unclear pathological mechanisms, the absence of simple and consistent self-assessment tools, and effective interventions. To improve understanding of the role of anticipatory anxiety in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders, this study reviews pertinent domestic and international literature, and briefly introduces the concept, assessment and measurement, activation paradigm, pathological mechanisms, and interventions of anticipatory anxiety.
