Objective:To study the effects of applying the think-pair-share (TPS) method combined with the microlecture teaching model in nursing teaching of general surgery.Methods:We assigned 48 nursing students interning in the department of general surgery of The First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from August 2020 to August 2021 into control group to receive traditional teaching and 48 nursing students who interned from September 2021 to August 2022 into observation group to receive TPS+microlecture teaching. The two groups were compared in terms of test results, critical thinking abilities, post competencies, and satisfaction with teaching. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform the t test and chi-square test. Results:The observation group showed a significantly higher theoretical score [(93.21±4.34) vs. (88.65±3.69)], a significantly higher basic nursing skills score [(94.21±3.85) vs. (89.45±5.47)], and a significantly higher specialized skills score [(90.76±4.59) vs. (88.96±3.63)] than the control group ( P<0.05). The total score of the critical thinking ability scale and the scores of individual dimensions were significantly increased after training for both groups, and all the scores were significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05). Both groups had significant improvements in the total and individual scores of post competencies after training, and the observation group had significantly higher scores than the control group ( P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the observation group had significantly higher proportions of students feeling satisfied with teaching, in terms of all evaluation items and also overall ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Applying the TPS+microlecture teaching model in general surgery nursing teaching can help nursing students improve theoretical and practical levels, critical thinking abilities, and post competencies, also with a high level of satisfaction with teaching.

Objective:To investigate the impact of early removal of nasogastric tubes on functional recovery after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients, to provide scientific evidence for enhanced recovery after surgery strategies in gastric cancer.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 102 gastric cancer patients who underwent total gastrectomy at Beijing Friendship Hospital affiliated with the Capital Medical University from March 2018 to July 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether the gastric tube was removed within 24 hours post-operation: the early removal group (within 24 hours, 55 patients) and the non-early removal group (beyond 24 hours, 47 patients). The recovery outcomes, including time to first flatus, time to fluid intake, length of hospital stay, and the incidence of postoperative complications, were compared between the two groups. Non-normally distributed data were expressed as M( Q1, Q3) and compared using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Categorical data were expressed as frequencies or percentages and compared using the chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test. To minimize the impact of potential confounders, multivariable linear regression and logistic regression analyses adjusted for propensity scores were further employed to compare quantitative and qualitative data between the groups. Statistical analyses were performed using R software. Results:The exhaust time, water intake time, and hospital stay in the early removal group were 3.0(2.0, 3.5) days, 4.0(3.0, 5.0) days, and 7.0(7.0, 8.0) days, respectively, while those in the non-early removal group were 4.0(3.0, 5.0) days, 6.0(5.0, 7.0) days, and 8.0(7.5, 11.0) days, respectively. Statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (5.45% vs 17.02%, P=0.060). Propensity score-adjusted regression analysis suggested that early tube removal might reduce the risk of postoperative complications ( P=0.042). Conclusion:Early removal of nasogastric tubes can significantly accelerate functional recovery after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer patients and may reduce the risk of postoperative complications, providing important clinical guidance for enhanced recovery after surgery management in gastric cancer.

OBJECTIVE To establish a model of monkeypox virus(MPXV)infection in suckling rabbits and analyze its pathological changes.METHODS Ten-day-old suckling rabbits were divided into two groups:the MPXV group(intranasally inoculated with 100 μL of MPXV at 106 PFU·mL-1)and the normal control group(intranasally inoculated with 100 μL of PBS solution),with 10 rabbits in each group.After infection,such indicators as body weight,survival rate,and mental state of the suckling rabbits were monitored daily for 15 days.On days 3,9,and 15 post-infection,samples of the heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,brain,small intestine,and peripheral blood were collected from each group for RT-qPCR to detect viral the load.Histopathological analysis using HE staining was performed on samples collected on day 9 post-infection.RESULTS Suckling rabbits infected with MPXV exhibited weight loss,reduced survival rates,and such symptoms as lethargy and chilliness,which were similar to the clinical manifes-tations observed in humans infected with MPXV.Viral load results indicated the presence of the virus in the heart,liver,spleen,lung,kidney,brain,small intestine,and peripheral blood,with varying degrees of pathological changes in each tissue and organ.CONCLUSION Intranasal inoculation can help estab-lish a model of MPXV infection in suckling rabbits.

Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.

Objective:To explore the effects of body mass index (BMI) on the incidence of nocturnal hypertension in patients with hypertension.Methods:Totally 341 hospitalized hypertensive patients treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from February to May 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. Patients' general information, clinical data, and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure results were collected. A binomial Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the occurrence of nocturnal hypertension in these patients. The relationship between BMI and the incidence of nocturnal hypertension was examined using threshold effect tests and smooth curve fitting.Results:The binomial Logistic regression analysis indicated that blood phosphate level was a factor influencing the occurrence of nocturnal hypertension in hypertensive patients ( P<0.05). Smooth curve fitting and threshold effect test results showed that the relationship between BMI and the incidence of nocturnal hypertension was curve-correlated, with a turning point at 24.61 kg/m 2. To the left of the turning point, there was no correlation ( P=0.130) ; to the right, there was a correlation ( P=0.016) . Conclusions:When the BMI of hypertensive patients exceeds 24.61 kg/m 2, the likelihood of nocturnal hypertension increases with rising BMI, providing a precise intervention target for weight management-based patient care in hypertension.

Objective:To investigate the effects of regular yoga practice on pulmonary function and mechanical parameters of diaphragm.Methods:Eighty regular yoga practitioners, including 40 practicing for≤5 year (yoga≤5 years group) and 40 for>5 year (yoga>5 years group) were recruited in Shanxi Norman Bethune Hospital from January 2024 to April 2024; and 40 sedentary subjects were also recruited as the control group. The diaphragmatic motion was evaluated by two-dimensional ultrasound and speckle tracking ultrasound in all subjects, the parameters, including displacement, fractional thickening, strain and strain rate of diaphragm were observed at rest and deep breathing. At the same time, the pulmonary function tests were performed, the indexes including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1) and one-second rate (FEV 1/FVC) were measured in all subjects. The mechanical parameters of diaphragm and the pulmonary function were compared among three groups. Results:There were no significant differences in gender ( χ2= 0.346), age ( F=1.16), height ( F=0.45), weight ( F=0.11) and body mass index (BMI) ( F=0.07) among the three groups (all P>0.05).At the rest status, there was no significant difference in diaphragm displacement, thickening rate and strain among three groups ( F=1.21, 2.10 and 0.23,all P>0.05); the strain rate of yoga>5 years group was lower than that of other two groups ( t=-4.23、-4.10, all P<0.05); however, there was no significant difference between yoga≤5 years group and control group ( t=-0.06, P>0.05). During deep breathing, the increment of displacement, thickening rate, strain and strain rate of diaphragm in yoga>5 years group was larger than that in other tow groups, while the increment of yoga≤5 years group was larger than that in control group ( F=25.82, 60.99, 17.29 and 52.46, all P<0.05); the increment of FVC, FEV 1 and FEV 1/FVC in yoga>5 years group was larger than other two groups, whilc the increment of yoga≤5 years group was larger than that of sedentary group (F=4.49, 7.32 and 39.71, all P<0.05). The diaphragmatic displacement was positively correlated with FVC ( r=0.290, P<0.05), and diaphragmatic displacement and thickening rate were positively correlated with FEV 1 and FEV 1/FVC (0.333 and 0.448, 0.231 and 0.599, all P<0.05), the strain and strain rate of diaphragm were negatively correlated with FEV 1 and FEV 1/FVC ( r=-0.399 and -0.719, -0.355 and -0.796, all P<0.05). Conclusion:The regular yoga practice can improve the movement capacity and efficiency of diaphragm, improve the pulmonary function, and there is a negative correlation between the strain rate and the mechanical parameters of diaphragm and FEV 1, FEV 1/FVC.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)have emerged as the first-line small molecule drugs in many cancer therapies,exerting their effects by impeding aberrant cell growth and proliferation through the mod-ulation of tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling pathways.However,there exists a substantial inter-individual variability in the concentrations of certain TKIs and their metabolites,which may render patients with compromised immune function susceptible to diverse infections despite receiving theo-retically efficacious anticancer treatments,alongside other potential side effects or adverse reactions.Therefore,an urgent need exists for an up-to-date review concerning the biological matrices relevant to bioanalysis and the sampling methods,clinical pharmacokinetics,and therapeutic drug monitoring of different TKIs.This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the advancements in pretreatment methods,such as protein precipitation(PPT),liquid-liquid extraction(LLE),solid-phase extraction(SPE),micro-SPE(p-SPE),magnetic SPE(MSPE),and vortex-assisted dispersive SPE(VA-DSPE)achieved since 2017.It also highlights the latest analysis techniques such as newly developed high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS)methods,capillary electro-phoresis(CE),gas chromatography(GC),supercritical fluid chromatography(SFC)procedures,surface plasmon resonance(SPR)assays as well as novel nanoprobes-based biosensing techniques.In addition,a comparison is made between the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches while pre-senting critical challenges and prospects in pharmacokinetic studies and therapeutic drug monitoring.
