Objective To explore the application effect of the"safe harbor"humanistic care program in mechanically ventilated patients.Methods A quasi experimental study design method was used to select 106 mechanically ventilated patients admitted to the department of intensive care unit(ICU)of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from December 2024 to February 2025 as the study subjects.They were randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group,with 53 patients in each group.The control group adopted a conventional nursing mode(pain relief and sedation management,daily awakening,active and passive limb activities,respiratory function exercise,nutritional and psychological support,etc.),while the experimental group implemented a"safe harbor"humanistic care mode plan based on conventional nursing(structured visit management,therapeutic environment creation,professional nursing process optimization,and multidimensional safety guarantee system,including 6 dimensions and 16 measures,mainly including:family support system reconstruction,progressive activity training,structured visit management,therapeutic environment creation,professional nursing process optimization,and multidimensional safety guarantee system).The difference in the incidence of anxiety and depression,ICU-acquired weakness(ICU-AW),ICU delirium and mechanical ventilation time,ICU hospitalization time,Barthel index scores were compared between the two groups.Results Ultimately,97 patients completed the study,with 52 in the control group and 45 in the experimental group.The incidence of anxiety and depression,ICU-AW,delirium in the experimental group was significantly reduced compared to the control group[anxiety and depression incidence:26.67%(12/45)vs.46.15%(24/52),ICU-AW incidence:13.33%(6/45)vs.40.38%(21/52),delirium incidence:17.78%(8/45)vs.42.31%(22/52),all P<0.05],the ICU hospitalization time and mechanical ventilation time in the experimental group were significantly shortened compared to the control group[ICU hospitalization time(days):9(8,10)vs.10(9,11),mechanical ventilation time(hours):67.0(60.5,78.5)vs.85.0(63.0,75.0),both P<0.05].The Barthel index score significantly increased[66.0(56.0,75.5)vs.58.0(48.5,69.5),P<0.05].Conclusion The"safe harbor"humanistic care model can improve the physical and mental outcomes of mechanically ventilated patients and has clinical promotion value.

Carbon ion radiotherapy(CIRT)is an advanced radiotherapy method with unique physical and biological properties.It increases the dose to the tumor target area while providing better protection to normal tissues.CIRT can be used for hypoxic tumors resistant to photon radiotherapy.It also has the potential superiority of inducing immune responses and can produce the"abscopal effect"when com-bined with different immunotherapies.Radioimmunotherapy can not only ablate tumors at the irradiated site but also partially control dis-tant metastases at the unirradiated site.However,the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated.Due to the protection of the tu-mor microenvironment,tumors can sometimes be difficult to completely clear through CIRT-mediated anti-tumor immunity;this can also in-dicate functional limitations of some immune organs after CIRT.Therefore,this study reviewed the impact of CIRT on both innate and adapt-ive immune responses.It also examined the relationship between different radiation doses/fractions and immune protein expression,as well as compared the differences in imaging techniques between carbon ion radiotherapy and traditional radiotherapy.We have also proposed future directions to enhance the superiority of CIRT.This study aimed to provide a strong theoretical basis for improving the efficacy of CIRT and its combination therapy,ultimately benefiting more patients with cancer.

Medical therapy and surgical intervention are the two primary approaches for treating myocardial bridge.However,there remains controversy regarding the use of coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG)and myocardial bridge unroofing.Here,we report a case of myocardial infarction following CABG in a patient with a myocardial bridge.The patient was admitted to Lanzhou First Peopie's Hospital with persistent chest pain,chest tightness,and shortness of breath lasting 2 hours.Physical examination revealed no significant abnormalities.Electrocardiography(ECG)indicated extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction.Laboratory findings showed myoglobin levels of 140.1 ng/ml and troponin Ⅰ levels of 2.59 ng/ml,with no other significant abnormalities.The initial diagnosis was acute extensive anterior wall myocardial infarction.Emergency coronary angiography revealed a myocardial bridge in the mid-segment of the left anterior descending artery(LAD).Emergency CABG using the left internal mammary artery to the LAD was performed,leading to symptomatic improvement,and the patient was discharged in stable condition.However,the patient experienced a recurrent myocardial infarction seven years post-surgery and received secondary preventive medical therapy.The patient is currently under ongoing follow-up care.CABG is an effective treatment for myocardial bridge.However,based on the case reported in this study,we recommend careful evaluation of whether a patient may benefit from CABG.

Aim To investigate the neuroprotective effect of Takeda G protein-coupled receptor-5(TGR5)activated by INT-777 on hypoxic-ischemic encephalop-athy(HIE)in neonatal rats.Methods Seven-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into the sham opera-tion group(Sham,S),model group(HIE,G),INT-777 low-dose(L),medium-dose(M),and high-dose(H)groups.The modified Rice-Vanucci method was used to construct the HIE model and Intranasal admin-istration 1 h after modeling.Short-term neurobehavioral tests were performed 48 h after modeling to evaluate the neurological function of neonatal rats,TTC staining was used to determine the volume of cerebral infarction,dry and wet specific gravity was used to determine the brain water content,ferrous ion kit was used to deter-mine the brain ferrous ion content,HE staining was used to observe the pathological damage of brain tis-sue,Nissl staining was used to observe the loss of Nissl substance,Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was used to observe the mitochondrial morphological changes of cortical neurons,and Western blot was em-ployed to detect the expression of ferroptosis-related proteins TFR1 and GPX4.Results Compared with group S,group G had increased short-term neurobehav-ioral test consumption time,higher scores,increased cerebral infarct volume,brain water content,and brain ferrous iron content,significant brain tissue damage on the affected side,severe loss of Nissl substance,smaller neuronal mitochondria,decreased mitochondrial cris-tae,and increased expression of TFR1 and reduced ex-pression of GPX4.Compared with group G,the INT-777 administration group had a shorter consumption time for short-term neurobehavioral tests,lower scores,the cerebral infarction volume,brain water content,and brain ferrous ion content decreased,the brain tissue damage on the affected side was reduced,and there was insignificant loss of Nissl substance,larger neuronal mi-tochondrial volume,increased mitochondrial cristae,re-duced expression of TFR1,and increased expression of GPX4.Conclusions INT-777 agonist TGR5 has a protective effect against hypoxic-ischemic encephalopa-thy in neonatal rats,and its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of neuronal ferroptosis.

Objective To clarify the differences in the effects of bupivacaine liposome and ropivacaine on quadratus lumborum block in patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy.Methods A total of 70 patients who underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy at Suqian First People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2023 to October 2024 were selected as the research subjects.The patients were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group,with 35 cases in each group.Before general anesthesia,patients of the control group were given ropivacaine quadratus lumborum block,while patients of the observation group were given bupivacaine liposome quadratus lumborum block.The general conditions before and after operation,visual analogue scale(VAS)scores at different time points after operation,rescue analgesia,mini-mental state examination(MMSE)scores at different time points after operation,postoperative rehabilitation and analgesic adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the general conditions of patients in the two groups before and after the operation(P>0.05).At 24 hours,48 hours,and 72 hours after surgery,the abdominal resting VAS scores of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05).The time of the first self-controlled use of the intravenous analgesic pump after surgery in the observation group was significantly later than that in the control group(P<0.05).The number of analgesic pump compressions and the rate of oxycodone rescue analgesia in the observation group were significantly fewer/lower than those in the control group within 48 hours after surgery(P<0.05).At 24 hours,48 hours,and 72 hours after surgery,the MMSE scores of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The time for patients to get out of bed and move around after surgery and the recovery time of anal exhaust in the observation group were significantly earlier than those in the control group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative analgesic adverse reactions between the two groups of patients(P>0.05).Conclusion Compared with the use of ropivacaine for quadratus lumborum block in patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy,bupivacaine liposome can provide a longer-lasting analgesic effect,reduce patients'dependence on intravenous analgesia,be conducive to protecting patients'cognitive function,accelerate the recovery of patients without increasing the incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore the association between the use of tetracyclines during pregnancy and congenital malformations, with the aim of providing evidence-based guidance for the rational use of antibiotics during pregnancy.Methods:Data from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and the Canada Vigilance Adverse Reaction (CVAR) database from January 2015 to September 2024 were collected. Five methods including Tree-based scan statistic (TreeScan), proportional reporting ratio (PRR), reporting odds ratio (ROR), the UK Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) comprehensive standard, and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) were used to detect signals of risk for congenital malformations in offspring following maternal use of tetracyclines during pregnancy. A signal that met the threshold criteria of all above 5 methods was considered as a risk signal. Based on population-based cohort of the drug exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes (DEEP) data from January 2013 to December 2021 in Xiamen City, propensity score matching (PSM)-based Poisson regression was applied to evaluate the association between the first-trimester tetracyclines exposure and congenital malformations in offspring. Adjusted relative risk (a RR) and its 95% confidence interval ( CI) were calculated. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to validate the reliability of the results. Results:A total of 304 098 reports of adverse events during pregnancy were obtained from the FAERS and CVAR databases. Among them, 5 028 reports were related to tetracyclines, including 1 026 reports of congenital malformations in offspring, involving congenital malformations of musculoskeletal system, other digestive system, and other congenital malformations. Signal detection results suggested that tetracyclines may be a risk signal for above congenital malformations in offspring. The DEEP data included 411 936 pregnant women. After PSM, 240 pregnant women exposed to tetracyclines were included. The results showed no significant association between the first-trimester tetracyclines exposure and congenital malformations in offspring (a RR=0.75, 95% CI: 0.26-2.17), sensitivity analysis also showed no correlation. Conclusions:Data mining from the FAERS and CVAR databases suggests a potential association between tetracyclines use during pregnancy and congenital malformations in offspring. However, the DEEP data study shows no significant correlation.

ObjectiveTo deeply understand the lived experience and needs of patients with end-stage heart failure， and to provide references for better implementing hospice care for patients with heart failure. MethodsA qualitative phenomenological research method was adopted to conduct in-depth interviews with 15 patients with end-stage heart failure. The Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to code， analyze， and extract themes from the interview data. ResultsFour themes and 10 sub-themes were identified： first， experiencing physical and psychological distress （a desire for relief from physical pain and a need for psychological counseling）； second， ambivalence towards family support （yearning for care but feeling guilty）； third， actively seeking social support （expecting to be understood and valued， facilitating access to support from the medical system， and differing perceptions of doctor-patient shared decision-making）； fourth， complex psychological experience regarding prognosis （experiencing fear and worry， feeling disappointed， living in the moment， and accepting death）. ConclusionMedical staff， family caregivers， and society should jointly pay attention to the physical and mental feelings and needs of patients with end-stage heart failure and provide targeted care. It is recommended to implement multidisciplinary team management， promote doctor-patient shared decision-making， meet individualized needs， and provide appropriate education on life and death concepts， thereby establishing a palliative and hospice care service model for end-stage heart failure with characteristics.

Aim To investigate the anti-Zika virus(ZIKV)mechanism of diterpenoid compound 9 from Euphorbia helioscopia in vitro.Methods The cytotox-icity of compound 9 was evaluated using the CCK-8 as-say.A ZIKV-infected Vero cell model was established,and the antiviral activity was assessed through RT-qPCR,plaque assay,Western blot,and immunofluores-cence.Furthermore,the mechanism of action was elu-cidated using multi-cell line validation,nanoparticle tracking analysis,cellular thermal shift assay,and mo-lecular docking.Results In Vero cells,compound 9 exhibited an EC50 of(3.95±0.15)μmol·L-1 and a CC50 of(272.12±8.56)μmol·L-1,demonstrating significantly higher antiviral efficacy than the positive control drug ribavirin(RBV).Its virus inactivation effect was time-dependent and could significantly re-duce viral load and plaque formation.Studies revealed that compound 9 altered the physicochemical properties of ZIKV particles,including reducing surface charge and increasing particle size distribution.Additionally,it significantly enhanced the thermal stability of the prM protein.Molecular docking analysis indicated that compound 9 formed a high-affinity interaction with the prM protein(binding energy:-38.52 kJ·mol-1)and stabilized its structure through hydrophobic interac-tions.Conclusion Compound 9 exerts in vitro anti-ZIKV activity by directly inactivating the virus,disrup-ting viral particle integrity,and targeting the prM pro-tein.
