Objective:A comparison was made between the predictive efficacy of the Padua Score and the simplified Assessment Scheme Recommended by Chinese experts (hereinafter referred to as the Simplified Method) for the risk assessment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical inpatients, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical selection of appropriate risk assessment tools.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, selecting 42 257 internal medicine inpatients discharged from Peking University Shenzhen Hospital between May 1, 2021, and April 30, 2022, using a convenience sampling method. Data collected included general information upon admission, VTE-related information, occurrences of VTE during hospitalization, and results from the two assessment tools. The predictive efficacy of the tools was evaluated by plotting ROC curves and calculating AUC, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and predictive accuracy.Results:Among 42 257 patients, there were 21 065 male and 21 192 female participants, aged (55.04 ± 15.17) years old. The incidence rate of VTE among medical inpatients was 2.24% (948/42 257). The AUC for Padua Score and the Simplified Method in medical patients were 0.735 (95% CI 0.717-0.753) and 0.582 (95% CI 0.561-0.602), respectively. Sensitivities were 49.4% and 18.2%, specificities were 89.6% and 98.1%, positive predictive values were 9.9% and 17.7%, negative predictive values were 98.7% and 98.1%, and predictive accuracy were 88.7% and 96.3%, respectively. The departments with the highest incidence rates of VTE during hospitalization were rehabilitation medicine, emergency, neurology, geriatrics, and respiratory medicine. Within these departments, the AUC values for the Padua Score and the Simplified Method were as follows: 0.864 and 0.612, 0.782 and 0.653, 0.792 and 0.664, 0.850 and 0.551, 0.867 and 0.664, respectively. Conclusions:The Padua Score demonstrated better predictive efficacy compared to the Simplified Method. However, the Simplified Method had more accessible assessment criteria and could serve as an initial VTE risk screening tool in emergency situations or when complete data are not available.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of anxiety and flow experience on perceived stress and mobile phone addiction in nursing college students.Methods:In December 2021, a cross-sectional design survey was conducted on 4 179 freshmen and sophomores in a nursing college in Heilongjiang Province. The Chinese perceived stress scale, generalized anxiety disorder-7, flow state scale, and mobile phone addiction tendency scale were selected separately to assess perceived stress, anxiety symptoms, flow experience and mobile phone addiction. SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 software was used for mediating effect test. Results:(1) Among the 3 050 nursing students, there were 714(23.41%) students who were addicted to mobile phones. (2) Spearman correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress(27.31±9.56) was positively correlated with anxiety(7.00(1.00, 10.00), r=0.441, P<0.05), flow experience((12.00±3.40), r=0.517, P<0.05), and mobile phone addiction((42.42±13.05), r=0.476, P<0.05).Anxiety was positively correlated with flow experience ( r=0.430, P<0.01) and mobile phone addiction ( r=0.538, P<0.01).Flow experience was positively correlated with mobile phone addiction ( r=0.490, P<0.01). (3) Anxiety and flow experience played seperate mediating and chain mediating roles between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction, accounting for 26.06%(0.165/0.633), 23.54%(0.149/0.633) and 3.48%(0.022/0.633) of the total effect. Conclusion:Perceived stress not only directly affects the mobile phone addiction of nursing students, but also indirectly affects mobile phone addiction through the independent and chain mediating effects of anxiety and flow experience.

Objective:To analyze the surveillance data of population in rabies exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) clinics in Shandong province from 2019 to 2023, explore risk factors for exposure, and provide a basis for further standardizing PEP.Methods:Based on surveillance data from the rabies exposure treatment clinic vaccination information system, population, and spatial administrative division data in Shandong province from 2019 to 2023, descriptive epidemiological methods were applied to analyze using SPSS 18.0.Results:The number of individuals receiving post-exposure treatment at PEP clinics in Shandong province from 2019 to 2023 was over 1 million annually and showed an increasing trend year by year, with the highest number of visits occurring from May to August each year. The number of female patients is increasing year by year. The 15-year-old and younger age group accounted for 31.69%-36.86% of clinic visits. Grade Ⅲ exposures accounted for 53.40%, and limbs accounted for approximately 89.81% of exposed areas. Approximately 1.94% is multi site exposure. The main injuring animals were dogs, followed by cats, and the proportion of cats is increasing year by year. The proportion of doctor′s office visitors who self-treated wounds increased from 32.32% to 45.46%, while the proportion of outpatient wound treatment decreased from 76.07% to 66.24%. The whole course vaccination rate after initial exposure is 63.79%. The whole course vaccination rate for the 15-29-year-old age group was lower than that for other age groups. The usage rate of passive immune preparations among grade Ⅲ exposed individuals is 35.66%. From 2019 to 2023, 8 cases of rabies were reported, none of whom received standard post-exposure treatment.Conclusions:The epidemic characteristics and exposure risk of people exposed to suspected rabies animals in Shandong province have changed. It is necessary to pay attention to the female population, the population with low vaccination rate between 15 to 29 years of age, cat bitten people, and carry out continuous monitoring on the exposed population, and timely adjust the prevention and control strategies.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting delayed chemotherapy in children with Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and their influence on prognosis.Methods:Retrospective cohort study. Clinical data of 591 children aged ≤18 years with BL from May 2017 to December 2022 in China Net Childhood Lymphoma (CNCL) was collected. The patients were treated according to the protocol CNCL-BL-2017. According to the clinical characteristics, therapeutic regimen was divided into group A, group B and group C .Based on whether the total chemotherapy time was delayed, patients were divided into two groups: the delayed chemotherapy group and the non-delayed chemotherapy group. Based on the total delayed time of chemotherapy, patients in group C were divided into non-delayed chemotherapy group, 1-7 days delayed group and more than 7 days delayed group. Relationships between delayed chemotherapy and gender, age, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy, bone marrow involvement, disease group (B/C group), serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > 4 times than normal, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy, minimal residual disease in the interim assessment, and severe infection (including severe pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, chickenpox, etc.) were analyzed. Logistic analysis was used to identify the relevant factors. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patients' survival information. Log-Rank was used for comparison between groups.Results:Among 591 patients, 504 were males and 87 were females, the follow-up time was 34.8 (18.6,50.1) months. The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was (92.5±1.1)%,and the 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was (90.5±1.2)%. Seventy-three (12.4%) patients were in delayed chemotherapy group and 518 (87.6%) patients were in non-delayed chemotherapy group. The reasons for chemotherapy delay included 72 cases (98.6%) of severe infection, 65 cases (89.0%) of bone marrow suppression, 35 cases (47.9%) of organ dysfunction, 22 cases (30.1%) of tumor lysis syndrome,etc. There were 7 cases of chemotherapy delay in group B, which were seen in COPADM (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone+daunorubicin+methotrexate+intrathecal injection,4 cases) and CYM (methotrexate+cytarabine+intrathecal injection,3 cases) stages. There were 66 cases of chemotherapy delay in group C, which were common in COPADM (28 cases) and CYVE 1 (low dose cytarabine+high dose cytarabine+etoposide+methotrexate, 12 cases) stages. Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that the age over 10 years old ( OR=0.54,95% CI 0.30-0.93), tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy ( OR=0.48,95% CI 0.27-0.84) and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy ( OR=0.55,95% CI 0.33-0.91)were independent risk factors for chemotherapy delay.The 3-year OS rate and the 3-year EFS rate of children with Burkitt lymphoma in the delayed chemotherapy group were lower than those in the non-delayed chemotherapy group ((79.4±4.9)% vs. (94.2±1.1)%, (80.2±4.8)% vs. (92.0±1.2)%,both P<0.05). The 3-year OS rate of the group C with chemotherapy delay >7 days (42 cases) was lower than that of the group with chemotherapy delay of 1-7 days (22 cases) and the non-delay group (399 cases) ((76.7±6.9)% vs. (81.8±8.2)% vs. (92.7±1.3)%, P=0.002).The 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (9 cases) in the COP (vincristine+cyclophosphamide+prednisone) phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (454 cases) ((66.7±15.7)% vs. (91.3±1.4)%, P=0.005). Similarly, the 3-year OS rate of the chemotherapy delay group (11 cases) in the COPADM1 phase was lower than that of the non-chemotherapy delay group (452 cases) ((63.6±14.5)% vs. (91.5±1.3)%, P=0.001). Conclusions:The delayed chemotherapy was related to the age over 10 years old, tumor lysis syndrome before chemotherapy and grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression after chemotherapy in pediatric BL. There is a significant relationship between delayed chemotherapy and prognosis of BL in children.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and value of participatory bilingual teaching in nuclear medicine teaching.Methods:With the same chapter of Nuclear Medicine as the teaching contents, the traditional method of cramming bilingual teaching was used for the clinical medical students in the class of 2014 of the seven-year program and the five-year program, and the method of participatory bilingual teaching was used for the students in the class of 2015. The methods of periodical achievement test, questionnaire survey, and final examination were used to evaluate the teaching effect of the above two teaching modes.Results:In the periodical achievement test, the participatory bilingual teaching group had significantly higher scores than the cramming teaching group in terms of mean score, case analysis, and English questions [seven-year program: (82.13±10.72), (35.74±4.13), and (23.03±3.40) vs. (79.21±11.31), (33.86±5.23), and (22.12±2.75), P<0.05; five-year program: (78.66±12.75), (34.30±5.59), and (22.45±2.91) vs. (75.29±10.81), (32.70±6.04), and (21.36±3.09), P<0.05]. The questionnaire survey showed that participatory bilingual teaching had a better degree of satisfaction than cramming teaching. The participatory bilingual teaching group had a better score than the cramming teaching group in the final examination, but with no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions:In the teaching of nuclear medicine, the participatory bilingual teaching mode can significantly improve teaching effect and achieve the teaching goal efficiently.

BACKGROUND:
The clinical features of enthesitis in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) have been reported in some Western countries, but data in China are very limited. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of enthesitis in Chinese patients with PsA and compared them with those in other cohorts.
METHODS:
Patients with PsA enrolled in the Chinese Registry of Psoriatic Arthritis (CREPAR) (December 2018 to June 2021) were included. Data including demographics, clinical characteristics, disease activity measures, and treatment were collected at enrollment. Enthesitis was assessed by the Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC), Maastricht ankylosing spondylitis enthesitis score (MASES), and Leeds enthesitis index (LEI) indices. A multivariable logistic model was used to identify factors related to enthesitis. We also compared our results with those of other cohorts.
RESULTS:
In total, 1074 PsA patients were included, 308 (28.7%) of whom had enthesitis. The average number of enthesitis was 3.3 ± 2.8 (range: 1.0-18.0). More than half of the patients (165, 53.6%) had one or two tender entheseal sites. Patients with enthesitis had an earlier age of onset for both psoriasis and arthritis, reported a higher proportion of PsA duration over 5 years, and had a higher percentage of axial involvement and greater disease activity. Multivariable logistic regression showed that axial involvement (odds ratio [OR] 2.21, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59-3.08; P <0.001), psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.01-1.04; P = 0.002), and disease activity score 28-C reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.01-1.55; P = 0.037) were associated with enthesitis. Compared with the results of other studies, Chinese patients with enthesitis had a younger age, lower body mass index (BMI), a higher rate of positive human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B27, more frequent dactylitis, and a higher proportion of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs' (csDMARDs) use.
CONCLUSIONS
Enthesitis is a common condition among Chinese patients with PsA. It is important to evaluate entheses in both peripheral and axial sites.

Objective:To explore the application effect of TBL (team-based learning) + PAL (peer assisted leaning) + Flipped Class mixed teaching mode in the course of "nursing psychology" for nursing undergraduates.Methods:A total of 146 nursing undergraduates from four classes enrolled in 2018 were subjected to cluster sampling and assigned to classes 1-2 (experimental group, n=73) and classes 3-4 (control group, n=73). The experimental group adopted the TBL + PAL + Flipped Class mixed teaching mode, while the control group adopted the traditional teaching method. After the course, the two groups were evaluated by final exam score, case analysis score, and core competence self-assessed score with a t-test in SPSS 18.0. Results:The final examination score (82.30±7.77) and case analysis score (46.13±2.91) of the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (74.97±7.05 and 40.36±4.25). The experimental group showed significantly higher scores in autonomous learning ability (8.03±0.91), problem analysis ability (7.99±0.99), teamwork ability (7.67±1.09) and critical thinking ability (7.03±1.33) as compared with the control group (6.21±1.17, 5.64±1.28, 5.79±1.27, 5.15±1.16).Conclusion:TBL + PAL + Flipped Class mixed teaching mode integrates the advantages of the three teaching forms, promotes students' understanding and application of knowledge points, improves students' ability of independent learning, teamwork, and problem analysis, strengthens students' ability of transfer and application of knowledge and skills, increases the teaching effect, and expands the teaching method of nursing psychology.
