Objective:To explore the status quo of pediatric nurses' cognition of death education, and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide experience and reference for carrying out death education in pediatric wards.Methods:In this study, 827 nurses from 15 children's hospitals in China were investigated by using the scale for evaluating the cognition of death education in medical staff prepared by Zhang Yan-gai, and the related factors affecting the cognition of death education were analyzed. SPSS 23.0 was used for independent-samples t-test and ANOVA analysis, and multiple regression equation was used to further analyze the relationship between the cognitive factors of death education in pediatric nurses. Results:The total score of death education cognition of pediatric nurses was (35.61±5.64) points, which was lower than the median score of 36 points. The degree of death education cognition of pediatric nurses was at the medium-low level. The results of correlation analysis showed that the professional title of nurses (regression coefficient: 0.064, P=0.045), the training demand for death education (regression coefficient: 0.300, P<0.001), and the way of understanding (regression coefficient: 0.018, P=0.003) were independent influencing factors of the death education cognition level of pediatric nurses. Conclusions:Pediatric nurse death education related theoretical knowledge should be improved through various professional trainings. The hospitals should include death education in pediatric nurse continuing education training plan to improve pediatric nurses' cognitive level of death education through a variety of ways and means, promote the application of death education activities carried out in pediatric ward in the hospice care, reduce deaths impact to nurse their own emotions, and alleviate parents' anxiety and painful experience, thereby improving medical satisfaction.

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.

External apical root resorption is among the most common risks of orthodontic treatment, and it cannot be completely avoided and predicted. Risk factors causing orthodontic root resorption can generally be divided into patient- and treatment-related factors. Root resorption that occurs during orthodontic treatment is usually detected by radiographical examination. Mild or moderate root absorption usually does no obvious harm, but close attention is required. When severe root resorption occurs, it is generally recommended to suspend the treatment for 3 months for the cementum to be restored. To unify the risk factors of orthodontic root resorption and its clinical suggestions, we summarized the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of more than 20 authoritative experts in orthodontics and related fields in China. After discussion and summarization, this consensus was made to provide reference for orthodontic clinical practice.

To explore whether the downregulation of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit(PP2Ac)involved in the pathogenesis of mitochondria fission/fusion dynamics and functional imbalance induced by human tau accumulation. After cotransfection with mito-dsRed plasmids and pIRES-eGFP-tau40 plasmids 48 hours,the rat primary hippocampal neurons were observed with a laser scanning confocal microscope for their changes in shape and distribution of mitochondria.The expressions of mitochondria fission/fusion protein and PP2Ac and PP2Ab were detected by Western blotting.Furthermore,the shape and distribution of mitochondria of rat primary hippocampal neuron and wild type 293wt cells were assayed 48 hours after co-transfection with siPP2Ac-EGFP plasmids and mito-DsRed plasmids,and the fission/fusion dynamics of 293wt cells was captured with live cell time-lapse imaging after co-transfection with siPP2Ac plasmids and mito-Dendra2 plasmids.After transfection with siPP2Ac plasmids,the relative level of mitochondria fission/fusion protein of 293wt cells was assayed by Western blotting,and mitochondria membrane potential was detected by JC-1 staining,and the cellular viability was measured by CCK8 assay.Finally,the shape and distribution and membrane potential of mitochondria of HEK293 cells with stable transfection of htau40(293htau)were detected after co-transfection with PP2Ac and mito-dsRed plasmids. Human tau40 expression decreased distribution of mitochondria and significantly lowered PP2Ac level in primary hippocampal neuron(=4.814, =0.0086).Down-regulation of PP2Ac caused mitochondria elongation and perinuclear accumulation in primary hippocampal neuron and 293wt cells;in addition,down-regulation of PP2Ac in 293wt cells significantly increased mitochondria fusion rate(=2.857, =0.0074)and the levels of mitochondria fusion protein mitofusin(MFN)1(=6.768, =0.0025),MFN2(=3.121, =0.0035),and optic atrophy 1(=3.775, =0.0199);however,the levels of dynamin-like protein-1 and Fis1 remained unchanged.The down-regulation of PP2Ac in 293wt cells led to the significant decrease in mitochondria membrane potential(=2.300, =0.0270)and cell viability(=6.249, <0.0001).Finally,up-regulation of PP2Ac attenuated the abnormalities in the shape,distribution and function of mitochondria in the 293htau cells. Down-regulation of PP2Ac is involved in the abnormal shape and distribution of mitochondria and its dysfunction induced by human tau40 in rat primary hippocampal neurons and HEK293 cells.
