Objective:To gain an in-depth understanding of the career development of male nurses in China, analyze trends, challenges, and opportunities, and provide a basis for policy-making, talent cultivation, and professional development in the nursing field.Methods:A descriptive qualitative research method was adopted. From March 29th to July 30th, 2023, the heads of the male nurses working groups of nursing associations in 26 regions of China were selected by purposive sampling method for semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used to analyze the data.Results:The current situation of the career development of male nurses in China could be summarized into the following three themes. (1) Current situation: the organizational structure of provincial-level male nurses work was basically complete, but there were obvious differences at the grassroots level; the work was carried out in various forms, and diverse models developed in coordination; (2) Trends: there were obvious stratifications in professional ideology and professional abilities of male nurses among different regions and different-level medical institutions; the gender dividend was gradually decreasing, and male nurses should give play to their advantages in logical thinking ability; (3) Prospects: early intervention was needed to enhance professional identity and organizational support; male nurses should be trained in various aspects through multiple forms such as counterpart assistance, expert databases or online academic forums; interdisciplinary development might be the key to stimulating internal driving force.Conclusions:Significant progress has been made in the career development of male nurses in China, but there are still challenges and issues to address. Further improvements in related policies, enhancement of social recognition and professional status, and increased investment and support in research and education are needed to promote the sustained development of male nursing careers.

BACKGROUND:Macrophages exhibit distinct pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory phenotypes.Through tissue engineering techniques,their phenotype transition has made them one of the most studied immune cells in bone injury repair.Recent studies have found that neutrophils also play a significant role in bone injury repair processes,but there is currently no such review available.OBJECTIVE:To summarize the current role of neutrophils in fracture healing and interventions targeting neutrophils to promote fracture healing.METHODS:We searched the Web of Science,PubMed,WanFang Data,and CNKI databases from January 2000 to February 2024 with the key words of"neutrophil,fracture healing,bone damage,bone repair,bone remodeling"in Chinese and English.Literature screening was conducted based on inclusion and exclusion criteria,resulting in a final selection of 72 articles for review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The history of neutrophils has been long,with their importance initially overlooked due to a lack of staining techniques.In 1900,Paul Ehrlich's invention of triacid staining distinguished neutrophils,marking the beginning of research in this field.(2)Under normal conditions,neutrophils migrate to various organs to assist in their physiological functions.In pathological states,neutrophils exert their antimicrobial effects through phagocytosis,degranulation,and the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps.(3)Neutrophils primarily participate in the early hematoma inflammation stage of fracture healing by releasing cytokines to recruit other immune cells and mesenchymal stem cells.They also produce fibrinogen to promote hematoma formation and establish a local microenvironment.(4)Neutrophils transform into two distinct subtypes,N1 and N2,at different stages of fracture healing,coordinating with each other to promote bone repair.(5)Neutrophils recruited to the fracture site participate in the healing process by secreting cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha,interleukin-6,interleukin-10,fibroblast growth factor-2,monocyte chemoattractant protein-1,and platelet-derived growth factor.(6)Neutrophils regulate osteogenesis/osteolysis balance through interactions with the main cellular components involved in different stages of fracture healing.(7)Similar to the widespread research and application of tissue engineering techniques in modulating macrophage polarization in fracture healing,interventions targeting neutrophils to promote fracture healing hold promising prospects for the future.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness and safety of lacosamide (LCM) in pregnant women with epilepsy.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted involving 6 pregnant women with epilepsy who were treated with LCM at the Electroencephalogram Monitoring Center of the Department of Neurology, Xijing Hospital of Air Force Military Medical University from January 2022 to June 2023. Their electroclinical characteristics, seizures during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and follow-up were summarized.Results:The 6 patients were aged 22 to 30 years at the time of pregnancy. Three patients were treated with monotherapy, with a daily dose of LCM ranging from 150 mg to 200 mg, while the other 3 patients were treated with combination therapy, with a daily dose of 150 mg. The seizures of 5 patients decreased during pregnancy compared with progestation except for the case 2 without adherence to Medication. No malformations were observed in the newborns, with the Apgar scores of 9-10 at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth. The infants showed normal growth, development, intelligence, and motor skills in subsequent assessments. Two patients breastfed their infants, 1 for 6 months and the other for 14 months by the last follow-up, with a daily LCM dose of 150 mg to 300 mg during the breastfeeding. No adverse reactions were observed in the infants.Conclusion:The addition of LCM during pregnancy and lactation showed good effectiveness and safety, with no observed birth malformations.

Arsenic, as a toxic substance that can affect human health, can cause various neurological disorders, including cognitive impairment, when excessive. Relevant epidemiological surveys and animal experimental studies have shown that exposure to arsenic can not only cause intellectual impairment and peripheral neuropathy in humans, but also lead to abnormal behavior in humans and animals. However, so far, the mechanism of arsenic induced damage to the nervous system is still unclear. Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ auxiliary activation factor 1α (PGC-1α), as a nuclear transcription coactivator, can interact with transcription factors or other coactivators and plays a role in biological processes such as mitochondrial biogenesis and energy metabolism. PGC-1α, by activating mitochondrial biogenesis, affecting energy metabolism, activating oxidative stress regulatory factors [catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), etc.], mitigates the damage to the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral nervous system (PNS), and blood-brain barrier (BBB) caused by arsenic. This article summarize the research progress of arsenic-induced neurological injury and the mechanism of PGC-1α's role in arsenic-induced neurological injury to provide a theoretical basis for further prevention and treatment of neurological diseases caused by arsenic.

Objective:To explore the effects of phased goal directed fluid therapy (GDFT) during anesthesia surgery on tissue perfusion and cognitive function in patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery.Methods:A total of 108 lung cancer patients were prospectively selected and randomly divided into a control group and a study group using a random number table method. The control group received classical restrictive liquid therapy, while the study group received staged GDFT. We compared the surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, colloid fluid dosage, crystalloid fluid dosage, total output, and urine volume between two groups of patients; Two groups of patients were compared in terms of oxygenation index (OI), respiratory index (RI), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2), lactate (Lac), central venous arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure difference (Pcv-aCO 2), oxygen supply index (DO 2I), and oxygen uptake rate (O 2ERe) before anesthesia induction (T 0), before single lung ventilation (T 1), 1 hour of single lung ventilation (T 2), immediate resumption of dual lung ventilation (T 3), 30 minutes of dual lung ventilation (T 4), and after surgery (T 5); The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to evaluate the cognitive function scores of two groups of patients 1 day before surgery and 1 and 3 days after surgery, while recording the incidence of cognitive dysfunction (POCD) and pulmonary complications (including pulmonary infection, acute lung injury, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary edema, atelectasis, etc.) within 3 days after surgery. Results:The amount of crystal fluid and urine output in the research group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the amount of colloidal fluid was significantly higher than that in the control group (all P<0.05). The OI of the study group T 1-T 5 was significantly higher than that of the control group, while the RI of T 2-T 5 was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05). The ScvO 2 of the study group T 1 to T 5 was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the Lac was significantly lower than that of the control group (all P<0.05); The MMSE scores of both groups of patients were significantly lower than those before surgery on day 1 and 3 after surgery, and the MMSE scores of the study group were significantly higher than those of the control group on day 1 and 3 after surgery (all P<0.05). The incidence of POCD within 3 days after surgery in the study group was 16.67%(9/54), lower than 37.04%(20/54) in the control group (χ 2=5.704, P=0.017); The incidence of pulmonary complications in the study group was lower than that in the control group (5.56% vs 22.22%, χ 2=4.955, P=0.026). Conclusions:The application of staged GDFT during anesthesia in patients undergoing radical lung cancer surgery can further improve tissue perfusion, improve microcirculation and oxygen supply-demand balance of systemic organs and tissues, including the brain, alleviate perioperative brain function damage, and reduce the occurrence of postoperative POCD compared to conventional liquid therapy.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging navigation combined with modified pancreaticogastrostomy in laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection.Methods:The clinical data of 14 patients undergoing laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection with indocyanine green fluorescence navigation technique combined with modified pancreaticogastrostomy from January 2019 to January 2022 in the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, including 4 males and 10 females, aged (40.6±7.1) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative complications and follow-up were recorded.Results:All 14 operations were successfully completed, and there was no intraoperative ICG allergic reaction. The intraoperative ICG staining facilitated the identification of common bile duct. The operation time was (325.71±23.00) min, and the time of modified pancreaticogastrostomy was (18.32±1.52) min. Intraoperative blood loss was 200 (150, 300) ml. There were no case of intraoperative blood transfusion. Postoperative complications include three cases of grade A pancreatic fistula, one of biliary fistula, and one of biliary stricture. All patients were followed up for one to 18 months, and the median follow-up time was 10 months. One patient had intermittent fever after operation. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed biliary stricture in one patient one month after operation, which was managed by endoscopic biliary stent implantation.Conclusion:Indocyanine green fluorescence navigation is safe and feasible in laparoscopic duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection. Combined with modified pancreaticogastrostomy, it helps skip the jejunal anastomosis and improve the efficiency of surgery.

ObjectiveTo analyze and sum up the medication rule and the core prescription of Professor LIU Minru in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome （intracellular lipid membrane congestion syndrome）and explore the effect mechanism underlying the medication. MethodTwo platforms were used to carry out data mining to analyze the characteristics and rules of Professor LIU's prescriptions for the treatment of this disease. Network pharmacology was used to further clarify active ingredients in the core prescription，and a traditional Chinese medicine-active ingredient-target network was constructed，with the potential mechanism of action analyzed. ResultA total of 321 prescriptions were included in the medical records，involving 178 Chinese medicinals and 28 kinds of formula granules.The Chinese medicinals mainly act on the liver and kidney meridians， whose main tastes were sweetness，pungency，and bitterness and properties were mainly warm，mild，and slightly cold.Commonly used medicine pairs include Dioscoreae Rhizoma-Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata，Chuanxiong Rhizoma-Angelicae Sinensis Radix，Bupleuri Radix-Aurantii Fructus，and Gleditsiae Spina-Curcumae Rhizoma.The commonly used formulas are Xuefu Zhuyutang，Siwugang，Yangjing Zhongyutang，etc. The core prescription is composed of 12 Chinese medicinals such as angelica，white peony，saponaria thorn，and epimedium，containing 74 active ingredients，including quercetin，luteolin，kaempferol，fisetin，and β-sitosterol.A total of 37 key targets were found，involving phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt），mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK），Janus protein tyrosine kinase （JAK）/signal transduction and activator of transcription （STAT），and other signaling pathways. ConclusionThe pathogenesis of this disease is complex.Professor LIU adheres to the pathogenesis of "kidney deficiency as the root cause，and phlegm retention as the symptom". Under the guidance of the academic ideology of "kidney Qi as the root，and protecting Yin as the foundation" and "nurturing Yin to support Yang"，she takes into account Yin and Yang in kidney tonic，replenishes and consolidates the essence and blood，and relieves manifestations by dissipating mass， activating blood， and regulating Qi. She has a rigorous thinking in formulating prescriptions. The core prescription has the characteristics of comprehensive regulation by multiple components at multiple targets in multiple pathways.
