Objective:To explore the correlation between post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD),resilience and quality of life of front-line medical staff in public health emergencies.Methods:From Nov to Dec 2020,the medical staff of 4 COVID-19 designated hospitals in Wuhan were investigated with the general demographic questionnaire,10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale,PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 and Simplify Qualify of Life Scale.Spearman correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation between PTSD,resilience and quality of life.Results:A total of 545 questionnaires were collected in this survey and the valid effective rate was 97.8% (533/545).The score of psychological resilience,PTSD and quality of life of medical staff were 26(20,30),17(8,25),and 20(18,23),respectively.And 13.1% (70/533)of medical staff had obvious PTSD symptoms.There were significant differences in the score of quality of life among medical staff with different genders,occupations and PTSD levels.Spearman correlation analysis results showed that the score of PTSD was negatively correlated with quality of life and psychological resilience(r=-0.488 and-0.464,P＜0.01).The score of psychological resilience was positively correlated with the score of quality of life(r =0.578,P＜0.01).Psychological resilience and PTSD were important predictors of quality of life,with an explanatory capacity of 37.0% .Conclusions:PTSD is a risk factor for quality of life,and psychological resilience is a protective factor for quality of life.In public health emergencies,improving psychological resilience,preventing and treating PTSD can improve the quality of life of medical staff.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of modified Weijing Decoction in the treatment of stable stage of bronchiectasis(phlegm heat accumulating in the lung pattern).Methods A series of N-of-1 trials using bronchiectasis patients in stable stage with phlegm heat accumulation in the lung pattern were performed.Participants meeting inclusion criteria underwent two distinct treatment protocols during a therapy period.Modified Weijing Decoction was used in the experimental period and ambroxol tablets were used in the control period,washout periods were set.The medication-use order in the control period and experimental period is random.The visual analog scale(VAS)was used to assess symptom changes before and after treatment.24-hour sputum volume and COPD self-assessment test(CAT)scores were recorded,while adverse reactions were monitored during the study period.Statistical analysis and drawing were performed on SPSS 25.0 and GraphPad Prism 8.Comparison of inter-group differences before grouping was assessed by independent samples t-test.Analysis of symptom score,24-hour sputum volume and CAT scores in the experimental and control periods,as well as comparison of differences between the above two groups before and after treatment were performed using paired t-test,which enabled comprehensive exploration of clinical and statistical distinctions.Results A total of 9 patients participated in 16 rounds of analysis.Statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)before and after the treatment in the experimental period were noted in total Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)symptom scores,cough,sputum,sputum color,chest tightness and chest pain,bitter and dry mouth,fatigue and tiredness,24-hour sputum volume,and CAT score.Paired t-tests revealed significant variations(P＜0.05)in the total TCM symptom scores,sputum color scores,scores of chest tightness and pain,and 24-hour sputum volume between experimental and control periods.No adverse events related to the test methods or drugs occurred during the observation period.Conclusion Modified Weijing Decoction could comprehensively improve clinical symptoms of bronchiectasis patients in stable stage.It exhibits superior efficacy compared to ambroxol,and maintains a favorable safety profile.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of Shema Zhichuan Liquid in the treatment of neutrophilic asthma(NA)based on network pharmacology and in vivo experiments.Methods(1)The TCMSP,literature search and Swiss ADME and Swiss Target Prediction databases were used to search and screen the active components and their targets of Shema Zhichuan Liquid.OMIM,GeneCards,DisGeNET and DrugBank databases were used to search and screen NA disease-related targets.The intersection of the active components and NA disease-related targets of Shema Zhichuan Liquid was obtained through the microbiology platform to obtain the potential targets of Shema Zhichuan Liquid for the treatment of NA(common targets).Cytoscape 3.8 software was used to construct the network of"Chinese medicinals-active components-potential targets".The PPI network of potential targets was established by STRING database,and the core targets were obtained by analysing the built-in Mcode plug-in.The Metascape platform was used to enrich the gene ontology(GO),Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways for the potential targets.(2)BALB/C mice were acclimatised and fed for 1 week and randomly divided into a blank group,NA model group,low-dose group(2.5 g·kg-1)and high-dose group of Shema Zhichuan Liquid(10 g·kg-1),and control group of Dexamethasone(1 mg·kg-1);the NA mouse model was replicated by intraperitoneal injection of sensitizer(OVA+CFA)and nebulized inhalation excitation.OVA/CFA(20 μg OVA+75 μg CFA,0.3 mL)was injected intraperitoneally to sensitize on days 0,7 and 14 respectively,and 5%OVA suspension was nebulized on days 21-30(8 mL each time,40 minutes each time,once a day);1 hour before nebulisation,each group was administered by gastric gavage,and the Dexamethasone control group was administered by intraperitoneal injection once a day.The pathological changes of mouse lung tissue were observed by HE staining;IL-8 content in alveolar lavage fluid was detected by ELISA;mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 and CXCR2 were detected by RT-qPCR;and p-mTOR protein expression levels was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results(1)A total of 826 active component targets and 154 NA disease-related targets were obtained,and 51 potential targets(common targets)for the treatment of NA were obtained from the intersection of the active component and the NA disease-related targets of Shema Zhichuan Liquid.Through the network analysis of"Chinese medicinals-active components-potential targets",quercetin,lignocerotoxin,kaempferol,stigmasterol,naringenin and other key active components were obtained.The PPI network analysis of potential targets yielded 29 core targets,including AKT1,IL6,TNF,EGFR,NLRP3,RELA,MIF,CXCR2,VEGFA,etc..The GO functional enrichment analysis yielded 882 biological process entries,33 cellular component entries,and 61 molecular function entries;KEGG analysis yielded 142 signaling pathways,mainly involving TNF signaling pathway,influenza A signaling pathway,Toll-like receptor pathway,MAPK signaling pathway,mTOR signaling pathway and so on.(2)Results of animal experiments:compared with the blank group,mice in the NA model group showed obvious damage to the airway mucosa,structural disorders,a large number of inflammatory cells infiltration,mucosal congestion,oedema,obvious thickening of the alveolar wall,and narrowing of the alveolar lumen;the level of the inflammatory factor IL-8 in the alveolar lavage fluid was significantly elevated(P＜0.05);the mRNA expressions of NLRP3 and CXCR2 in the lung tissues of the mice were significantly up-regulated(P＜0.01),and the protein expression of p-mTOR was significantly increased.Compared with the NA model group,the structural arrangement of bronchial epithelial cells in the mice in the low-and high-dose groups of Shema Zhichuan Liquid was slightly disordered,with a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration around the airways and blood vessels,and the congestion and edema of the bronchial mucosa were significantly reduced;the mRNA expression of CXCR2 in the lung tissues of the mice was significantly down-regulated(P＜0.01),and the level of expression of p-mTOR protein was significantly reduced.The IL-8 level in the vesicular lavage fluid of mice in the high-dose group was significantly reduced(P＜0.05);the mRNA expression of NLRP3 in the lung tissue of mice in the low-dose group was significantly down-regulated(P＜0.05).Conclusion The therapeutic effect of Shema Zhichuan Liquid on NA may be achieved through the key active components,such as quercetin,lignocerol and kaempferol,acting on the core targets,such as NLRP3 and CXCR2,and regulating the key signaling pathways,such as the TNF signaling pathway,the MAPK signaling pathway,the Toll-like signaling pathway,and the mTOR pathway.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of influenza virus detection in an influenza outbreak in schools, so as to provide a strategic basis for the treatment of influenza outbreaks in schools. Methods: A total of 1 702 samples were collected from 52 school influenza outbreaks reported in Linyi City in 2021-2022. The samples were divided into 3 types according to different symptoms during the management of the epidemic [group A:influenzalike illness (ILI) group; group B:mild illness group; group C:close contacts group]. Rt-PCR was used to detect influenza virus nucleic acid in the collected samples. The detection rate of influenza virus in the outbreaks was analyzed by χ2 test. Results: In total, 1 071 samples (62.93%) tested positive for influenza virus nucleic acid. Among them, 610 out of 726 samples (84.02%) were detected in group A, while 331 out of 634 samples (52.21%) were detected in group B. In group C, 130 out of 342 samples (38.01%) tested positive. The differences were statistically significant (χ2=260.71, P<0.01). In group A, males had a detection rate of 80.83% for influenza virus nucleic acid, compared to 91.36% for females. For group B, the rates were 53.31% for males and 50.87% for females. In group C, males had a rate of 30.72%, while females had a rate of 43.92%. Statistical significance for gender differences was observed only in groups A and C (χ2=12.67, 6.25, P<0.05). According to the days of onset, the detection rates of influenza virus nucleic acid among patients with onset 0-6 days were 56.30%, 74.49%, 89.35%, 86.23%, 69.67%, 62.75%, 34.33%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=128.27, P<0.01). Conclusions Mild cases and close contacts are likely key factors contributing to the prolonged emergence of new cases within classrooms during school influenza outbreaks. The progression of influenza symptoms is related to the risk of transmission.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of perceived professional benefits between the humanistic literacy and spiritual care competence among oncology nurses.Methods:From September to October 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 354 oncology nurses from 11 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Sichuan Province, Guangdong Province, and Hubei Province as the research subject. A survey was conducted on oncology nurses using the General Information Questionnaire, Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefit Questionnaire, Nurses' Humanistic Literacy Scale, and the Chinese version of the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) . Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between nurses' humanistic literacy, perceived professional benefits, and spiritual care competence. AMOS 26.0 software was used to analyze mediating effects. A total of 354 questionnaires were distributed, and after excluding 7 unqualified questionnaires, 347 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 98.02%.Results:Among 347 oncology nurses, the score of the Chinese version of SCCS was (77.60±19.04) . The total score of the SCCS was positively correlated with the total scores of the Nurses' Humanistic Literacy Scale, the Nurses' Perceived Professional Benefit Questionnaire, and scores of all dimensions, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01) . Bootstrap test showed that the mediating effect of perceived professional benefits among oncology nurses between humanistic literacy and spiritual care competence was 0.284 [95% CI (0.408, 0.860) ] , accounting for 50.90% of the total effect. Conclusions:The perceived professional benefits of oncology nurses play a partial mediating role between humanistic literacy and spiritual care competence. We should strengthen training on the humanistic literacy of oncology nurses, enhance their perceived professional benefits, form a virtuous cycle of employment, and thereby improve their spiritual care competence.

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), a fatal heart disease characterized by fibroadipocytic replacement of cardiac myocytes, accounts for 20% of sudden cardiac death and lacks effective treatment. It is often caused by mutations in desmosome proteins, with Desmoglein-2 (DSG2) mutations as a common etiology. However, the mechanism underlying the accumulation of fibrofatty in ACM remains unknown, which impedes the development of curative treatment. Here we investigated the fat accumulation and the underlying mechanism in a mouse model of ACM induced by cardiac-specific knockout of Dsg2 (CS-Dsg2 ^-/-). Heart failure and cardiac lipid accumulation were observed in CS-Dsg2 ^-/- mice. We demonstrated that these phenotypes were caused by decline of fatty acid (FA) β-oxidation resulted from impaired mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Rapamycin worsened while overexpression of mTOR and 4EBP1 rescued the FA β-oxidation pathway in CS-Dsg2 ^-/- mice. Reactivation of PPARα by fenofibrate or AAV9-Pparα significantly alleviated the lipid accumulation and restored cardiac function. Our results suggest that impaired mTOR-4EBP1-PPARα-dependent FA β-oxidation contributes to myocardial lipid accumulation in ACM and PPARα may be a potential target for curative treatment of ACM.

Objective:In order to explore the impact of corona virus disease 2019(COVID-19)on the hospitalization of children with bronchiolitis and to improve clinicians′ understanding of the characteristics of bronchiolitis during the COVID-19 epidemic.Methods:This was a multicenter clinical study, and the data have been collected from 23 children′s medical centers in China.All the clinical data were retrospectively collected from children with bronchiolitis who were hospitalized at each study center from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021.The results included gender, age at hospitalization, length of stay, respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) test results, severity rating, ICU treatment, and the total number of children hospitalized with respiratory tract infection during the same period.The clinical data of children with bronchiolitis in 2019 before COVID-19 epidemic and in 2020、2021 during COVID-19 epidemic were statistically analyzed and compared.Results:According to a summary of data provided by 23 children′s medical centers, there were 4 909 cases of bronchiolitis in 2019, 2 654 cases in 2020, and 3 500 cases in 2021.Compared with 2019, the number of bronchiolitis cases decreased by 45.94% in 2020 and 28.70% in 2021.In 2019, 2020 and 2021, there were no significant differences in gender ratio, age, and duration of hospitalization.Compared with 2019, the ratio of bronchiolitis to the total number of hospitalizations for respiratory tract infection decreased significantly in 2020 and 2021( χ2=12.762, P<0.05; χ2=84.845, P<0.05).The proportion of moderate to severe bronchiolitis cases in both 2020 and 2021 was lower than that in 2019, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.054, P<0.05; χ2=8.109, P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of bronchiolitis cases requiring ICU treatment between 2019, 2020, and 2021 ( χ2=1.914, P>0.05).In 2019, a total of 52.60%(2 582/4 909) of children with bronchiolitis underwent RSV pathogen testing, and among them, there were 708 cases with RSV positive, accounting for 28.00%.In 2020, 54.14%(1 437/2 654) of children with bronchiolitis underwent RSV pathogen testing, and there were 403 cases with RSV positive, accounting for 28.04%.In 2021, 66.80%(2 238/3 500) of children with bronchiolitis underwent RSV pathogen testing, and there were 935 cases with RSV positive, accounting for 41.78%.Compared with 2019 and 2020, the RSV positive rate in 2021 showed a significant increase( χ2=99.673, P<0.05; χ2=71.292, P<0.05). Conclusion:During the COVID-19 epidemic, the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures reduced the hospitalization rate and severity of bronchiolitis, but did not reduce the positive rate of RSV detection.
