ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Tianma Goutengyin on the tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）/α1-antichymotrypsin C-terminal tail fragment （α1ACT） signaling pathway and A1-type astrocytes in a rat model of vascular dementia. MethodsSeventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups （n=12 per group）： Sham-operated group， model group， Tianma Goutengyin high-， medium-， and low-dose groups （5.13， 10.26， and 20.52 g·kg^-1）， and a nimodipine group （8.1 mg·kg^-1）. The vascular dementia model was established by permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion， followed by 4 weeks of intervention. Learning and memory ability were evaluated using the novel object recognition test， and behavioral performance was assessed using the forced swimming test. Levels of interleukin-6 （IL-6） and C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 （CCL2） in hippocampal tissue were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hippocampal neuronal morphology was observed by Nissl staining， and apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling （TUNEL）. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect positive expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， and myelin basic protein （MBP）. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the protein expression levels of TNF-α， TNF receptor 1 （TNFR1）， phosphorylated STAT3 （p-STAT3）， α1ACT， IL-6， complement component 3 （C3）， BDNF， S100 calcium-binding protein A10 （S100A10）， and GFAP in hippocampal tissue. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed a significantly reduced relative recognition index in the novel object recognition test （P<0.01）， prolonged immobility time and increased immobility frequency in the forced swimming test （P<0.01）. Hippocampal IL-6 and CCL2 levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. Nissl staining revealed a marked reduction in neuronal number and loss of Nissl bodies （P<0.01）. MBP-positive expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， apoptosis was significantly increased （P<0.01）， BDNF-positive expression was significantly reduced （P<0.05）， and GFAP-positive expression was significantly increased （P<0.01）. In addition， the protein expression levels of TNF-α， TNFR1， p-STAT3， α1ACT， IL-6， and C3 were significantly elevated （P<0.01）， while BDNF and S100A10 expression levels were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all Tianma Gouteng yin dose groups exhibited a significant increase in the relative recognition index （P<0.05）， shortened immobility time and reduced immobility frequency （P<0.05， P<0.01）. IL-6 and CCL2 levels were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， neuronal number was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and MBP-positive expression was significantly enhanced （P<0.01）. Apoptosis was significantly reduced （P<0.01）， BDNF-positive expression was significantly increased （P<0.05）， and GFAP-positive expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Moreover， the protein expression levels of TNF-α， TNFR1， p-STAT3， α1ACT， IL-6， and C3 were significantly decreased （P<0.01）， while BDNF and S100A10 protein expression levels were significantly increased （P<0.01）. ConclusionTianma Goutengyin may inhibit A1-type astrocyte activation in rats with vascular dementia through the TNF-α/STAT3/α1ACT signaling pathway， thereby reducing neuronal apoptosis and improving learning and memory function.

Objective To establish the reference intervals of serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin(β-HCG)in adult non-pregnant women in Shanghai,and to explore its relationship with age.Methods A total of 854 non-pregnant women in the hospital from March 2021 to December 2023 were selected as the research ob-jects,and 800 women who met the criteria were finally included.All serum β-HCG levels were detected by magnetic particle enzyme immunoassay.The results of serum β-HCG in different age groups were statistically analyzed,and the reference intervals of each age group was calculated by one-sided 95%reference interval method.Results The distribution of serum β-HCG in non-pregnant women was not normal.Spearman corre-lation analysis showed that the median level of β-HCG was correlated with age(correlation coefficient was 0.859,P<0.05).The reference intervals established by percentile method were 0.00-3.03 mIU/mL 18-<41 years old.41-55 years old 0.00-4.61 mIU/mL,>55 years old 0.00-6.80 mIU/mL,respectively,the difference of serum β-HCG level between different age groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).Accord-ing to the literature review,the reference intervals of serum β-HCG in different laboratories were different.In this study,the appropriate reference intervals were established and verified according to the actual situation.Conclusion The reference intervals of serum β-HCG in adult non-pregnant women should be established ac-cording to their age,so as to provide scientific basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

BackgroundMigrant children face many challenges in the process of social change and adaptation to a new environment， especially in school adaptation. Studies have shown that peer attachment plays a vital role in the social adaptation of children and adolescents， while psychological resilience and sense of security， as important psychological resources， also play a moderating and mediating role in individuals' coping with environmental changes. However， there is a lack of systematic research on how peer attachment affects the school adaptation of migrant children through psychological resilience and whether this process is moderated by sense of security. ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between peer attachment and school adaptation of migrant children and to examine the path of psychological resilience and sense of security in it， so as to provide references for improving the school adaptation of migrant children. MethodsUsing cluster sampling method， 695 migrant children in grades 4 to 6 of a primary school in an urban-rural fringe area of Sichuan Province were selected from April 1 to 30， 2022. Assessments were conducted using Revised Inventory for Parent and Peer Attachment （IPPA-R）， Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents （RSCA）， Scale of Sense of Security of Children Left Behind （SSSCLB） and Scale of School Adjustment of Student （SSAS）. Process 4.1 was used to examine the role of psychological resilience and sense of security. ResultsA total of 631 （90.79%） valid questionnaires were gathered. There were significant positive correlations among IPPA-R peer attachment subscale score， RSCA score， SSSCLB score and SSAS score （r=0.160~0.600， P<0.01）. Peer attachment had a significant positive predictive effect on the school adaptation （β=0.178， P<0.01） and psychological resilience （β=0.518， P<0.01） of migrant children. Psychological resilience had positive predictive effect on the school adaptation （β=0.467， P<0.01）. Psychological resilience played a partial mediating role in the relationship between peer attachment and school adaptation， with the mediating effect value was 0.242 （95% CI： 0.184~0.302）， accounting for 57.62% of the total effect. Moreover， the interaction term between psychological resilience and sense of security had a significant predictive effect on school adaptation （β=0.103， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe psychological resilience of migrant children plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between peer attachment and school adaptation， and the status of sense of security can moderate the relationship between psychological resilience and school adaptation of migrant children.

Objective To explore the impact of enteral nutrition formula containing slow-release starch on blood glucose variability and prognosis in patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods A total of 204 SAP patients were enrolled and randomly divided into control group and ob-servation group using a random number table method,with 102 patients in each group.The control group received early enteral nutrition support with a standard enteral nutrition formula,while the ob-servation group received early enteral nutrition support with an enteral nutrition formula containing slow-release starch.Blood glucose variability indicators[largest amplitude of glycemic excursions(LAGE),standard deviation of blood glucose(SDBG),blood glucose coefficient of variation(BGCV),mean blood glucose(MBG),mean amplitude of glycemic excursions(MAGE),and time in range(TIR)]were compared between the two groups after treatment,along with clinical indicators during hospitalization,inflammatory markers[procalcitonin,C-reactive protein,interleukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)],and nutritional indicators(albumin,prealbumin)levels.Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to assess the prognosis of the two groups,and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors influencing prognosis.Results After treat-ment,the observation group exhibited lower levels of MBG,LAGE,SDBG,BGCV,MAGE,and a higher TIR compared with the control group(P＜0.05).During hospitalization,the observation group had a shorter duration of enteral nutritiontherapy,lower insulin usage,and lower incidence rates of multiple organ failure and infectious pancreatic necrosis compared with the control group(P＜0.05).After treatment,the observation group had lower levels of procalcitonin,C-reactive protein,IL-6,and TNF-α compared with the control group(P＜0.05);however,there were no statistically significant differences in albumin and prealbumin levels between the two groups(P＞0.05).Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cumulative mortality rate in the observation group was 12.75％,which was lower than the 17.65％in the control group(Log-rank x2=4.361,P=0.037).Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that TIR after treatment(HR=0.920;95％CI,0.869 to 0.974)was an independent protective factor for prognosis in SAPpatients(P＜0.05),while infectious pancreatic necrosis(HR=4.269;95％CI,1.922 to 9.482)was an inde-pendent risk factor for prognosis in SAP patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion Enteral nutrition formu-la containing slow-release starch helps stabilize blood glucose variability,control inflammatory mark-er levels,improve nutritional status,and prognosis in SAP patients.Both TIR and infectious pancre-atic necrosis are closely related to the prognosis of SAP patients.

Objective To investigate relationship between the level of support needs and post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)among fathers of preterm infants in neonatal intensivecare unit(NICU).Methods A total of 209 fathers of preterm infants admitted to NICU were selected as survey subjects.The basic information questionnaire for preterm infants,the basic information questionnaire for fathers,the NICU Newborn Father Support Scale,and the civilian version of the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist were used to survey their conditions.Results The score of support needs among fathers of preterm infants was(88.69±11.04).Gestational age,cesarean section,length of stay in the NICU,father's educational level,monthly per-capita family income,and spouse's health status were all significant influencing factors of father's support needs(P＜0.05).The score of PTSD among fathers of preterm infants was(32.27±5.96).Gestational age,birth weight,birth way,fa-ther's age,whether the father had received prenatal health education,and support needs were all in-fluencing factors of PTSD occurrence among fathers of preterm infants(P＜0.05).There was a sig-nificant negative correlation between father's support needs and PTSD.Conclusion The level of support needs among fathers of preterm infants in the NICU is negatively correlated with PTSD.Medi-cal staff should pay attention to the level of support needs among fathers of preterm infants to reduce the occurrence of their PTSD.

Objective:To explore the effect of timely induction intervention on postpartum urination in primipara during vaginal delivery, so as to provide the evidence for preventing the occurrence of postpartum urinary retention and relieving the pain of primipara.Methods:This study adopted a randomized controlled trial design, and selected 400 cases of primipara who were hospitalized for vaginal delivery in the Obstetric Department of Dalian Women and Children's Medical Group Sports New Town Hospital from June 2021 to September 2022 as the study objects by convenience sampling method. They were divided into the intervention group and the control group with 200 cases each by random number table method, and the control group received routine postpartum care. Instruct active urination within 6 hours after delivery. The intervention received timely induction urination intervention. The general condition and bladder urine volume of the women in the intervention group were evaluated at 2, 4, 6 h after delivery, respectively, and personalized guidance was implemented, including the frequency of massage of the bottom of the uterus, the control of water intake, the selection of methods and timing of inducing urination, etc., and routine postpartum care was given when the women completed their first urination and had no complaints of discomfort. The first urination time, first urination volume, first bladder irritation during the first urination and the incidence of postpartum urinary retention in different periods were compared between the two groups.Results:The patients in the control group were (29.60 ± 3.20) years old, while the patients in the intervention group were (28.81 ± 3.42) years old. The first urination time in the intervention group was (6.89 ± 2.18) h, which was shorter than that in the control group (9.11 ± 3.86) h, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.49, P<0.01). The first urination volume in the intervention group was (322.36 ± 120.15) ml, which was higher than that in the control group (262.93 ± 105.68) ml, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=3.39, P<0.05). The incidence of the first bladder irritation in the intervention group was 22.0%(44/200), which was lower than that in the control group 33.5%(67/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.60, P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 24 h in the intervention group was 5.5%(11/200), which was lower than that in the control group 11.5%(23/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.63, P<0.05). The incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 1 week in the intervention group was 9.5%(19/200), which was lower than that in the control group 16.5%(33/200), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.33, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postpartum urinary retention within 24 to 72 h between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Timely induction intervention can reduce the incidence of postpartum urinary retention, shorten the time of first urination, increase the volume of first urination and improve the comfort of first urination, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To construction the risk factors associated with prolonged hospitalization in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and develop a prediction model for assessing these risks.Methods:SAP patients admitted to the department of emergency of Hebei Province Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2015 to December 2023 were retrospectively selected as the study subjects. The 75% of hospital stay was used as the cut-off point, and the patients were categorized into a normal group and an extended group. Clinical indicators of patients were collected, and independent risk factors for prolonged hospital stay in SAP patients were analyzed using multifactor Logistic regression. A prediction model was established, and a nomogram was created. The efficiency of the prediction model was evaluated using a receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve). The accuracy of the model was assessed using Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was employed to evaluate the clinical applicability of the model. Finally, internal validation of the model was conducted using Bootstrap method.Results:A total of 510 patients with SAP were included, and the length of hospital stay was 18 (6, 44) days, including 400 cases in the normal group (<24 days) and 110 cases in the extended group (≥24 days). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that abdominal effusion [odds ratio ( OR) = 4.163, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.105-8.234], acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ; OR = 1.320, 95% CI was 1.185-1.470), C-reactive protein (CRP; OR = 1.006, 95% CI was 1.002-1.011), modified CT severity index (MCTSI; OR = 1.461, 95% CI was 1.213-1.758), procalcitonin (PCT; OR = 1.303, 95% CI was 1.095-1.550) and albumin ( OR = 0.510, 95% CI was 0.419-0.622) were independent risk factors for prolonged hospital stay in SAP patients (all P < 0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the model was 0.922 (95% CI was 0.896-0.947), the optimal cut-off value was 0.726, the sensitivity was 87.3%, and the specificity was 85.3%. Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that χ 2 = 5.79, P = 0.671. It showed that the prediction model had good prediction efficiency and fit degree. The DCA curve showed that the prediction probability of the model could bring more clinical benefits to patients at 0.1 to 0.7. Bootstrap internal verification showed that the model had a high consistency (AUC = 0.916). Conclusions:Abdominal effusion, high APACHEⅡ score, high CRP, high MCTSI, high PCT and low albumin level are significantly associated with prolonged hospital stay in SAP patients. The prediction model can help clinicians make more scientific clinical decisions for SAP patients.

Objective This study utilized regadenoson stress D-SPECT to evaluate the impact of remote ischemic precondi-tioning combined with adenosine injection in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)using D-SPECT imaging.Methods Three hundred patients requiring coronary angiography and stent implantation were randomly assigned into two groups utilizing the random number table method.The conventional treatment group(150 patients)and the experimental group(150 patients)received standard treatment for coronary heart disease PCI.The experimental group underwent two sessions of remote ischemic precon-ditioning on the day of PCI,wherein the left and right upper arms were inflated to 200 mmHg with continuous pressure for 5 minutes using a blood pressure cuff.Additionally,during the PCI procedure,adenosine was administered to the experimental group at a rate of 50 μg/(kg·min)until the end of the procedure,with other treatments aligning with the conventional treatment group.Each patient received a coronary SYNTAXⅡscore.Resting D-SPECT and regadenoson stress D-SPECT were employed to evaluate total myocardial perfusion score,total myocardial ischemia segments,and left ventricular ejection fraction across 17 segment distributions before and 7 days after PCI.Results Before PCI,the differences in the number of myocardial ischemic segments,total myocardial perfusion score,and left ven-tricular ejection fraction between the two patient groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).However,7 days post-PCI,compared with the conventional treatment group,the experimental group exhibited significantly improved numbers of myocardial ischemic segments,total myocardial perfusion score,and left ventricular ejection fraction(P<0.05).Furthermore,the differences in adverse drug reactions between the two patient groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusion The combined application of remote ischemic preconditioning and adenosine injection in patients undergoing PCI is deemed safe and effective.
