Objective:To analyze the willingness and related factors of pregnant women in Shanghai City to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy.Methods:An online questionnaire survey was conducted among pregnant women who registered in maternal and child health hospitals in 16 districts of Shanghai. The basic information, health status during pregnancy, attitude towards influenza vaccination, and knowledge of influenza and influenza vaccine were collected, and χ2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the willingness and related factors of pregnant women to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy. Results:A total of 3 219 valid questionnaires were received, with 10.90% of pregnant women willing to receive influenza vaccination during pregnancy, 57.50% unwilling to receive vaccination and 31.59% holding an uncertain attitude. Among the pregnant women who were willing to receive the vaccine, 82.91% would take the initiative to know the relevant information about the influenza vaccine, and 87.18% understood the transmission routes of the flu. 32.09% believed that pregnant women could receive the influenza vaccination at any stage of pregnancy. Among those who were unwilling and held an uncertain attitude, the proportions of the above three questions were 47.06%, 83.95% and 17.80%, respectively. Among pregnant women who were unwilling to receive vaccination and held an uncertain attitude, the main reason for their vaccine hesitation was the concern about the safety of the vaccine for pregnant women and fetuses during pregnancy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pregnant women with higher education ( OR=3.278, 95% CI: 1.678-6.406, P=0.001), second trimester ( OR=1.542, 95% CI: 1.159-2.054, P=0.003), third pregnancy ( OR=2.318, 95% CI: 1.008-5.331, P=0.048), and previous influenza vaccination ( OR=1.552, 95% CI: 1.119-2.152, P=0.008) had a higher willingness to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy. Conclusion:Pregnant women in Shanghai have a relatively low willingness to receive influenza vaccines during pregnancy, mainly due to concerns about vaccine safety.

Radiation-induced thrombocytopenia(RIT)faces a perplexing challenge in the clinical treatment of cancer patients,and current therapeutic approaches are inadequate in the clinical settings.In this research,oxy-matrine,a new molecule capable of healing RIT was screened out,and the underlying regulatory mecha-nism associated with magakaryocyte(MK)differentiation and thrombopoiesis was demonstrated.The capacity of oxymatrine to induce MK differentiation was verified in K-562 and Meg-01 cells in vitro.The ability to induce thrombopoiesis was subsequently demonstrated in Tg(cd41:enhanced green fluorescent protein(eGFP))zebrafish and RIT model mice.In addition,we carried out network pharmacological pre-diction,drug affinity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)analyses to explore the potential targets of oxymatrine.Moreover,the pathway underlying the effects of oxymatrine was determined by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses,Western blot(WB),and immunofluorescence.Oxymatrine markedly promoted MK differentiation and maturation in vitro.Moreover,oxymatrine induced thrombopoiesis in Tg(cd41:eGFP)zebrafish and accelerated thrombopoiesis and platelet function recovery in RIT model mice.Mechanistically,oxymatrine directly binds to toll-like receptor 2(TLR2)and further regulates the downstream pathway stimulator of interferon genes(STING)/nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-κB),which can be blocked by C29 and C-176,which are specific inhibitors of TLR2 and STING,respectively.Taken together,we demonstrated that oxymatrine,a novel TLR2 agonist,plays a critical role in accelerating MK differentiation and thrombopoiesis via the STING/NF-κB axis,suggesting that oxymatrine is a promising candidate for RIT therapy.

Objective:To analyze the colonization rate and molecular types of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) on the tracheotomy wounds of neonates at early postoperative stage in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods:This was a case series study. Patients who were admitted and underwent tracheotomy in NICU of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1 st 2020 to December 31 st 2023 were enrolled. Swabs on the skin around the incision or on the nasal mucosa were collected and cultured at 24, 72 and 168 h after operation. Coagulase test and Staphytect Plus kits were used for SA identification. The nuc gene amplification and molecular types of SA were assessed by PCR. The patients were divided into SA colonization group and non-colonization group based on the presence or absence of SA colonization, and into infection group and non-infection group based on the presence or absence of infection. Demographic data, hospitalization information, colonization and infection status of SA were collected from the digital medical record system of the hospital. Differences between groups were analyzed using the independent sample t test or Fisher exact test. Results:Totally 19 patients were enrolled, among whom 13 were male. The gestation age was 39.0 (38.1, 40.0) weeks, and the birth weight was 3 150 (2 600, 3 400) g. Tracheotomy was done at 8.2(4.1, 19.6) days after diagnosis and indication confirmed. Corrected gestational age of patients on the operation day was 43.6 (42.2, 45.4) weeks. The NICU stay time was (34.0±3.1) days. SA colonization was confirmed around the incision of 8 patients. Out of the 18 strains of colonized bacteria, 10 were methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The most common molecular type of MRSA was ST59-SCCmec Ⅳ-t437 strain (8 strains). A total of 10 patients presented typical clinical manifestations of bacterial infection at the lungs, 3 patients in the blood stream and 2 patients in the central nervous system. Among 10 patients with bacterial infection, 3 patients were MRSA positive by boby fluid culture and affected by the ST59-SCCmec Ⅳ-t437 strain. The infection rate was different between patients with or without SA colonization on the tracheotomy incision (7/8 vs. 3/11, P=0.020). Conclusions:The colonization rate and infection rate were high on the tracheotomy incision in neonates. The major type was MRSA, and the most common molecular strain was ST59-SCCmec Ⅳ-t437 .

Objective To understand the current status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among operating room doctors,thereby analyzing its effect on mental health. Methods A total of 1013 doctors in the operating rooms of 30 hospitals in 24 provinces from September to December 2022 were selected by cross-sectional survey method. The domestic musculoskeletal disease questionnaire was used to investigate the occurrence of WMSDs in operating room doctors,the symptom check list-90 (SCL-90) was used to evaluate the psychological status of operating room doctors,the relationship between WMSDs related items and SCL-90 scores was analyzed,the correla-tion between the rest time of each shift and SCL-90 factors was analyzed by Pearson method,and the influencing factors of mental health of operating room doctors were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results A total of 1100 questionnaires were distributed and 1013 valid questionnaires were recovered,with an effective rate of 92.10%. The incidence of WMSDs among operating room doctors in the past 1 year was 95.06%. The body parts with incidences of WMSDs from high to low were as follows:waist (36.92%),neck (35.54%),shoulder (33.56%),and upper back (32.77%). In the past 1 year,the SCL-90 scores and total scores of patients with musculoskeletal pain in various body parts,keeping the same back posture for a long time while work,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently while working,bowing the head for a long time while working,and bending the knee for a long time while working were significantly higher than those who were without the above conditions (P<0.05). Shorter rest time of each shift and longer periods of keeping the same back posture were the risk factors for the development of mental illness in operating room doctors. Conclusion The incidence of WMSDs in operating room doctors is high,which can influence the mental health of operating room doctors. Therefore,operating room doctors should avoid keeping the same back posture for a long time,bending the back at the same time of turning frequently,bowing the head for a long time,and bending the knee for a long time while working,and increase the rest time of each shift,in order to improve the mental condition of the operating room doctors.

Objective:To construct a clinical decision-making ability indicator system based on evidence-based practice for pediatric nursing interns, and to provide a scientific basis for clinical teaching and evaluation.Methods:A method combining literature analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and empirical research was used. Firstly, a systematic search of Chinese and English databases (2018-2023) was conducted. Literature was screened based on the PICO framework and evidence-based data were extracted, resulting in a preliminary system consisting of 4 primary indicators, 12 secondary indicators, and 39 tertiary indicators. Subsequently, the indicators were revised through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation (25 experts with 19-27 years of work experience). The expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.898-0.907 and the Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.351-0.420 ( P<0.001). Finally, the analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights, and the reliability and validity were verified through a questionnaire survey (sample size: 30 participants in preliminary survey and 58 participants in formal survey). Results:The constructed indicator system included 4 primary indicators (weights), 13 secondary indicators, and 42 tertiary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows: knowledge integration ability (0.300), evidence-based practice ability (0.250), clinical judgment ability (0.280), and ethical decision-making ability (0.170). The importance scores of all items exceeded 4.0 points (out of 5 points), and the coefficients of variation were less than 0.20. The reliability and validity tests showed that the Cronbach's α of the overall scale was 0.89, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.88. The cumulative variance contribution rate of exploratory factor analysis was 69.30%. The confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a good model fit with a comparative fit index of 0.93 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.05. Conclusions:This indicator system has high scientificity and practicality, and can provide a reference for the standardized cultivation and evaluation of clinical decision-making ability of pediatric nursing interns. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen advanced evidence-based skills training and long-term application effectiveness tracking.

Purpose To explore the clinical and pathological features,differential diagnosis,treatment methods and prognosis of urachal adenocarcinoma.Methods Nineteen cases of urachal adenocarcinoma were collected and an-alyzed by combining clinical symptoms,auxiliary examinations,histology,immunohistochemical,and genetic testing and 11 cases of bladder adenocarcinomas.Results Among the 19 patients(15 males,4 females;age range:33-75 years,mean:55 years),tumors were located at the dome or anterior wall of the bladder.Histological subtypes includ-ed mucinous adenocarcinoma(6 cases),adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified(4 cases),enteric-type adenocarci-noma(6 cases),adenocarcinoma with focal mucinous differentiation(1 case),adenocarcinoma with signet-ring cell carcinoma(1 case),and metastatic urachal adenocarcinoma(1 case).Immunophenotypic analysis revealed membra-nous positivity for β-catenin,diffuse positivity for CK34βE 12,MUC-2,and CK20,focal CK7 positivity in some cases,and rare GATA-3 positivity.Mutations in p53 were observed,while KRAS,NRAS,BRAF,and PIK3CA mutations were absent.In colorectal adenocarcinomas,CK34βE12 positivity was 40%,nuclear β-catenin positivity was 48%,and MUC-2 expression was approximately 50%.In bladder adenocarcinomas,GATA-3 and MUC-2 positivity rates were 45%and 63.6%,respectively.Conclusion Distinguishing urachal adenocarcinoma from colorectal and primary bladder adenocarcinomas remains challenging.Urachal adenocarcinoma should be suspected in patients with anterior bladder wall or dome lesions,gross hematuria,or mucinuria.No definitive diagnostic markers currently exist for ura-chal adenocarcinoma.Immunophenotypic features such as membranous β-catenin,MUC-2,and CK7 positivity may fa-vor urachal adenocarcinoma over colorectal adenocarcinoma.Additional markers(e.g.,GATA-3,CK20,CK34βE12)aid in differential diagnosis,though individual markers lack specificity.Comprehensive evaluation integrating clinical presentation,imaging,and clinicopathological features is essential for accurate diagnosis.
