BackgroundThe professional self-concept of nurses is a crucial indicator for their personal growth， development and career planning. Previous studies have shown that work stressors during the internship period may lead to a decrease in the level of professional self-concept among nursing students. Given the existing differences in social roles between nursing students and clinical nurses， the influencing factors of professional self-concept in clinical nurses and its relationship with work stressors require further research. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between work stressors and professional self-concept among nurses， so as to provide references for improving the level of professional self-concept of clinical nurses. MethodsFrom December 2022 to February 2023， a stratified random sampling method was employed to select 260 in-service nurses from Mianyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the study subjects. Chinese Nurses Stressor Scale （CNSS） and Professional Self-concept of Nurses Instrument （PSCNI） were used for assessment. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the correlation between CNSS scores and PSCNI scores of nurses. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to explore the factors influencing the professional self-concept of nurses. ResultsA total of 238 nurses （91.54%） completed valid questionnaires. PSCNI total score yielded a statistical difference among nurses with different marital statuses （F=8.947， P<0.05）. PSCNI total scores were significantly higher in nurses with emergency medical service experience than those without such experience （t=2.208， P<0.05）， and were significantly lower in nurses with abnormal physical examination findings in the past year than those without abnormal findings （t=-2.584， P<0.05）. Correlation analysis revealed that CNSS total score and subscale scores were negatively correlated with PSCNI total score （r=-0.275~-0.169， P<0.01）. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that work expectation-related stressors， marital status and emergency medical service experience might be influencing factors of their professional self-concept （β=-0.350， 0.345， 0.183， P<0.01）. ConclusionNurses' work stressors are closely correlated with their professional self-concept， and high levels of stressors related to nurses' expectations may lead to a decrease in their professional self-concept levels. ［Funded by 2021 Research Project of Mianyang Municipal Health Commission （number， 202154）］

BACKGROUND:The micro/nanostructured gradient biomimetic surface of implant materials can simulate the structure of the extracellular environment in human bone tissue,thereby achieving perfect bone integration function.However,further research is needed on the mechanisms by which the surface microstructure of bone implant materials regulates cell function and promotes osteogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of titanium sheet microstructure surface on osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts. METHODS:(1)At a constant voltage of 5 V or 20 V,nanotube arrays of different diameters were prepared on the surface of titanium sheets by acid etching and anodic oxidation techniques,and were recorded as group R5 and group R20,respectively.The surface morphology,roughness,and hydrophilicity of pure titanium sheet(without acid etching or anodizing treatment)were measured in group R5 and group R20.(2)MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts of logarithmic growth stage were inoculated on the surface of pure titanium sheets,R5 group and R20 group respectively.After 24 hours of osteogenic induction culture,the expression of mechanical sensitive channel protein 1 was analyzed by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining.Osteoblast inducible base with or without the mechanosensitive channel protein 1 activator Yada1 was added,and alkaline phosphatase staining was performed after 7 days of culture.Alizarin red staining was performed after 14 days of culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The surface of pure titanium sheets was smooth under scanning electron microscope.Relatively uniform and orderly nanotube arrays with average diameters of about 30 nm and 100 nm were observed on the surface of titanium sheets of groups R5 and R20,respectively.The results of scanning electron microscope were further verified by atomic force microscopy.The surface roughness of titanium sheet of group R5 was higher than that of pure titanium(P<0.05),and the water contact angle was lower than that of pure titanium(P<0.05).The surface roughness of titanium sheet in group R20 was higher than that in group R5(P<0.05),and the water contact angle was lower than that in group R5(P<0.05).(2)RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining showed that the expression of mechanosensitive channel protein 1 in group R5 was higher than that in pure titanium group(P<0.05),and the expression of mechanosensitive channel protein 1 in group R20 was higher than that in group R5(P<0.05).Under the osteogenic induction,compared with the condition without Yada1,there were no significant changes in the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the deposition of calcified nodules in pure titanium group after Yada1 addition,while the activity of alkaline phosphatase and the deposition of calcified nodules in groups R5 and R20 after Yada1 addition were significantly increased(P<0.05).With or without Yada1,the alkaline phosphatase activity and calcified nodule deposition in group R5 were higher than those in pure titanium group(P<0.05),and the alkaline phosphatase activity and calcified nodule deposition in group R20 were higher than those in group R5(P<0.05).(3)The results show that the surface microstructure of titanium sheet can promote the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblast MC3T3-E1 by activating mechanosensitive channel protein 1.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that patients with premature ovarian failure have changes in the structure of intestinal flora and that imbalance of intestinal microbiota may be one of the important mechanisms in the development of premature ovarian failure. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Liuwei Dihuang Wan on oxidative stress and intestinal microbiota in premature ovarian failure mice induced by cyclophosphamide. METHODS:Forty-five female ICR mice were randomized into three groups:blank group(normal mice),model group(premature ovarian failure mice),and Liuwei Dihuang Wan group.A mouse model of premature ovarian failure was prepared by one-time intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide(120 mg/kg)in the latter two groups.After successful modeling,the Liuwei Dihuang Wan group was intragastrically administered for 28 continuous days,and the other two groups were intragastrically administered with the same amount of normal saline for 28 days.Mouse body mass was recorded weekly and ovarian index was calculated.The development of mouse follicles was observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining.ELISA method was used to detect serum levels of anti-Mullerian hormone,estradiol,follicle stimulating hormone,superoxide dismutase,glutathione peroxidase,and malondialdehyde.Meanwhile,the gut microbiome of all mice was detected through 16S rDNA sequencing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mice in the model group had loose hair,decreased vigor and grip strength,almost no increase in body mass,and decreased ovarian index.Whereas,the mouse body mass and ovarian index were increased after treatment with Liuwei Dihuang Wan(P<0.05).The estrous cycle of mice in the model group was disorganized;Liuwei Dihuang Wan could restore the estrous cycle and reduce the number of atretic follicles in mice with premature ovarian failure.The serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone and malondialdehyde in the model group significantly increased(P<0.01),while the levels of estradiol,anti-Mullerian hormone,superoxide dismutase,and glutathione peroxidase significantly decreased(P<0.01).Liuwei Dihuang Wan could significantly decrease the serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone and malondialdehyde(P<0.01),and increase the levels of estradiol,anti-Mullerian hormone,superoxide dismutase,and glutathione peroxidase.According to the 16S rDNA sequencing results,Liuwei Dihuang Wan could regulate the abundance and diversity of intestinal microbiota,and increase the relative abundance of beneficial bacteria.KEGG pathway analysis showed that the intestinal microbiota and metabolic pathways,biosynthesis of secondary metabolites,microbial metabolism in different environments,and biosynthesis of amino acids were regulated by Liuwei Dihuang Wan.To conclude,the changes in the structure of intestinal microbiome may be one of the potential mechanisms of Liuwei Dihuang Wan in treating premature ovarian failure.Liuwei Dihuang Wan can regulate the structure of intestinal microbiome,increase the number of beneficial bacteria,reduce the number of harmful bacteria,and thus improve the balance of intestinal microbiota.This regulatory effect helps to reduce oxidative stress levels and further inhibit ovarian oxidative stress in mice with premature ovarian failure.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterized by abnormal synchronous discharges of brain neurons. The mutation of GRIN1， a key gene encoding the essential GluN1 subunit of N-methyl-D-aspartate （NMDA） receptors， is closely associated with the pathogenesis and progression of epilepsy. This review summarizes research advances in GRIN1 mutation-related epilepsy， with a focus on its molecular mechanisms， clinical phenotypes， factors influencing phenotypic heterogeneity， and treatment strategies. In terms of molecular mechanisms， GRIN1 mutations affect NMDA receptor function through gain-of-function and loss-of-function mechanisms. Clinical phenotypes show significant heterogeneity， including seizure types， age of onset， and comorbid neurodevelopmental disorders. This heterogeneity may be related to the domain where the mutation is located， the mutation type， and the degree of impact on receptor function. Regarding treatment， gain-of-function mutations can be managed with NMDA receptor antagonists， while loss-of-function mutations may be treated with positive allosteric modulators. The ketogenic diet has also demonstrated potential therapeutic effects. This review aims to provide references for basic research and clinical translation in GRIN1 mutation-related epilepsy， and to promote the development of precision diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effect of oxygen-driven nebulization inhalation combined with invasive mechanical ventilation on sputum viscosity and inflammatory indicators in patients with severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure.Methods:A total of 300 patients with severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure who received treatment at Lanxi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from June 2021 to June 2023 were included in this prospective study. Using the random number table method, the patients were divided into a control group (conventional invasive mechanical ventilation, n = 150) and a treatment group (conventional invasive mechanical ventilation + oxygen-driven aerosol inhalation, n = 150). The sputum viscosity, inflammatory indicators, and blood gas analysis indicators were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit stay duration, and the length of hospital stay were recorded. Results:After treatment, the sputum viscosity grade of the treatment group was significantly different from that of the control group ( Z = 7.09, P < 0.05). The serum levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 in the treatment group were significantly lower, with values of (8.19 ± 0.91) μg/L and (19.26 ± 2.17) μg/L, respectively, compared with (12.01 ± 1.34) μg/L and (32.57 ± 3.85) μg/L in the control group ( t = 28.88, 36.88, both P < 0.05). The arterial partial pressure of oxygen in the treatment group post-treatment was (95.75 ± 3.51) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), which was significantly higher than (90.14 ± 3.64) mmHg in the control group ( t = 13.58, P < 0.001). The arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the treatment group was (40.65 ± 4.03) mmHg, which was significantly lower than (44.81 ± 4.12) mmHg in the control group ( t = 8.84, P < 0.001). The incidence of ventilator- associated pneumonia in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( χ2 = 14.00, P < 0.001). The mechanical ventilation time, intensive care unit stay duration, and the length of hospital stay in the treatment group were significantly shorter compared with the control group ( t = 25.82, 18.23, 15.28, all P < 0.001). Conclusion:Oxygen-driven aerosol inhalation combined with invasive mechanical ventilation can effectively dilute sputum, reduce the patient's inflammatory response, improve blood gas analysis indicators, lower the risk of ventilator- associated pneumonia, and thereby facilitate recovery from severe pneumonia complicated by respiratory failure.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of eravacycline in the treatment of complicated intra-abdominal infection(cIAI)in Chinese adult patients.Methods In this multicenter,randomized,double-blind phase Ⅲ study,cIAI patients were randomly assigned to receive either eravacycline(1.0 mg/kg,q12h)or ertapenem(1 g,q24h)by intravenous infusion for 5 to 14 days.The primary and secondary efficacy endpoints included the clinical efficacy and microbiological efficacy in different populations,including modified intention-to-treat(MITT)population,clinically evaluable(CE)population,and microbiologically evaluable(ME)population,at different time points after treatment.Clinical cure rates at specific visits were summarized and compared between treatment groups in different populations.The microbial eradication rate was calculated for the patients with baseline pathogens.The incidence of adverse events(AE)and drug-related treatment emergent adverse event(TEAE)was analyzed by treatment group.Results A total of 144 patients with cIAI who received at least one dose of the study drug were included in the MITT population.The clinical cure rate was 77.8％(56/72)in eravacycline-treated patients and 90.3％(65/72)in ertapenem-treated patients at 25-31 days after the first dose(TOC visit).When the patients who received insufficient treatment(＜72 hours)were excluded,the clinical cure rate was 83.6％(56/67)in eravacycline group and 90.3％(65/72)in ertapenem.For CE and ME patients,the clinical cure rate at TOC visit was 91.1％(51/56)and 83.3％(25/30)in eravacycline group,95.3％(61/64)and 90.9％(30/33)in ertapenem group.Eravacycline treatment achieved microbiological eradication rate of 91.3％(21/23)against Escherichia coli at TOC visit in micro-MITT population while ertapenem treatment resulted in a microbiological eradication rate of 96.2％(25/26).The microbiological efficacy of eravacycline and ertapenem against Klebsiella pneumoniae was 4/5 and 3/3,respectively.The incidence of TEAE was similar in eravacycline and ertapenem groups(75.0％vs.70.8％),most of which were mild or moderate.The AEs associated with eravacycline were mainly infusion site phlebitis(9.7％,7/72)and infusion site pain(8.3％,6/72).Conclusions Similar to ertapenem,eravacycline has good clinical and microbiological efficacy in treating cIAI.It is also safe and well-tolerated in the patients.

Background and aims:Promoting gastrointestinal function recovery is one of the key aspects of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)for colorectal cancer(CRC).Many ancient Chinese medical texts suggest that acupuncture at four acupoints—Zusanli,Shangjuxu,Sanyinjiao,and Neiguan—helps promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.However,there is currently no systematic study on multi-point acupuncture to promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery in CRC patients.Therefore,this study was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy of multi-point acupuncture in promoting gastrointestinal function recovery in CRC patients through a prospective study to provide new options for implementing ERAS in CRC patients in clinical practice. Methods:Using a prospective,randomized,controlled design,a total of 100 eligible patients who underwent laparoscopic CRC radical surgery at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery,Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University,between January 2021 and February 2022,were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 50 patients in each group.Both groups underwent the same ERAS protocols and radical surgery during the perioperative period.The observation group received acupuncture treatment from the day of surgery to the third postoperative day,once per day,while the control group did not receive acupuncture.Primary outcomes included the time to bowel sound recovery,time to first flatus,and time to first defecation.Secondary outcomes included abdominal pain scores,incidence of bloating,nausea,vomiting,white blood cell count,neutrophil percentage,C-reactive protein,hemoglobin,serum albumin,blood potassium levels,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of postoperative complications. Results:A total of 96 patients completed the study,with 48 in each group.There were no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics such as age,gender,or surgery time between the two groups(all P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had a significantly shorter time for bowel sound recovery,first flatus,first defecation,and postoperative hospital stay(all P＜0.05).Additionally,the observation group showed reduced abdominal pain scores on postoperative day(POD)2 and 3,a lower incidence of bloating on POD 1 and 2,and a reduced incidence of nausea and vomiting on POD 3(all P＜0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the remaining comparisons between the two groups(all P＞0.05). Conclusion:Multi-point acupuncture treatment can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing minimally invasive CRC surgery without increasing postoperative complications,and it is recommended for integration into routine ERAS protocols.

Objective To explore the application value of telmisartan combined with calcium dobesilate in patients with non-dipper hypertension complicated with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 260 patients with non-dipper hypertension complicated with T2DM in the endocrinology department of our hospital were selected in this study from January 2021 to December 2022.All the patients were randomly divided into telmisartan group(Tel,n=110)and telmisartan+calcium dobesilate group(Tel+Cal-dob,n=150).The blood pressure level,blood pressure rhythm changes,brachial flow mediated dilatation(FMD),carotid radial pulse wave velocity(crPWV),vasomotor factors[nitric oxide(NO),endothelin-1(ET-1),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)]and the incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in general data and biochemical indexes between the two groups(P>0.05).After 3,6 and 12 months of treatment,the FMD and NO were higher,while the dSBP,dDBP,24 hSBP,24 hDBP,nSBP,nDBP,crPWV,ET-1 and VEGF were lower than before treatment in both groups(P<0.05).After 3,6 and 12 months of treatment,the FMD and NO were higher,while dSBP,dDBP,24 hSBP,24 hDBP,nSBP,nDBP,crPWV,ET-1 and VEGF were lower in Tel+Cal-dob group than in Tel group(P<0.05).After 3,6 and 12 months of treatment,the conversion rates of dipper blood pressure were higher in Tel+Cal-dob groupthan in Tel group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse effects between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Telmisartan combined with calcium dobesilate is effective in the treatment of patients with non-dipper hypertension complicated with T2DM.
