ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of stone needle thermocompression and massage compared to flurbiprofen gel patch in relieving chronic musculoskeletal pain in the shoulder and back, and to explore the potential mediating mechanism through muscle elasticity. MethodsA total of 120 patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain in the shoulder and back were randomly assigned to either stone needle group or flurbiprofen group, with 60 patients in each. The stone needle group received stone needle thermocompression and massage for 30 minutes, three times per week; the flurbiprofen group received flurbiprofen gel patch twice daily. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. Pain improvement, as the primary outcome, was assessed using the Global Pain Scale (GPS) at baseline, after 2 weeks of treatment, and again 2 weeks post-treatment. To explore potential mechanisms, a mediator analysis was conducted by measuring changes in superficial and deep muscle elasticity using musculoskeletal ultrasound at baseline and after the 2-week treatment period. ResultsThe stone needle group showed significantly greater pain relief than the flurbiprofen group 2 weeks post-treatment. After adjusting for confounders related to pain duration, the between-group mean difference was -8.8 [95% CI (-18.2, -0.7), P<0.05]. Part of the therapeutic effect was mediated by changes in deep muscle elasticity, with a mediation effect size of -1.5 [95% CI (-2.0, -0.9), P = 0.024], accounting for 17.9% of the total effect. ConclusionStone needle thermocompression and massage can effectively relieve chronic musculoskeletal pain in the shoulder and back, partly through a mediating effect of improved deep muscle elasticity.

Objective:
To investigate the association between maternal parenting styles and quality of life among preschools,to provide a scientific theoretical basis for interventions targeting at prmoting early life health.
Methods:
From May to July, 2021, a stratified cluster sampling method was used to enroll 4 233 child mother dyads from 14 preschools in Chengdu. An online questionnaire survey was administered to collect socio demographic information, maternal parenting styles, and children s quality of life.
Results:
The overall score of quality of life was (80.17±9.81) among preschool children in Chengdu. In the multivariate linear regression models, maternal emotional warmth were significantly associated with higher scores in emotional functioning, social functioning, school functioning, psychosocial health summary score, and total scores ( β coefficients in the high level group were 2.63 , 4.95 , 12.05, 6.54,4.88, P <0.05). In contrast, both maternal rejection and overprotection were significantly associated with lower scores in physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning, school functioning, psychosocial health summary score, and the total scores of children s quality of life (for rejection: β coefficients in the high level group were -9.39, -10.82, -7.12 , -6.04 , -8.00, and -8.35 , respectively; for overprotection: β coefficients in the high level group were -6.71, -5.85, -3.08 , -2.39 , -3.77, and - 4.51 , respectively, P <0.05). The associations between high level of maternal rejection and children s emotional functioning showed significant gender differences( β =-3.23, P <0.05).
Conclusion
Maternal parenting style has a significant impact on children s quality of life. Interventions targeting at maternal parenting styles may be beneficial to improve the quality of life in preschool children.

In order to overcome the challenges of insufficient restriction enzyme sites, and construct a fusion-expression vector with flexible fusion direction, we designed an LB cloning system based on the type IIS and type IIT restriction enzymes LguⅠ and BbvCⅠ. The LB cloning system is constructed by inserting the LB fragment (GCTCTTCCTCAGC) into the multiple cloning site region of the broad-host plasmid pBBR1MCS-3 using PCR. The LB fragment contains partially overlapped recognition sites of LguⅠ and BbvCⅠ. Therefore, the same non-palindromic sequence will be generated by these two restriction endonucleases digestion. This feature can be used to quickly and flexibly insert multiple genes into the expression vector in a stepwise and directed way. In order to verify the efficacy of the cloning system, two glycosyltransferase genes welB and welK of Sphingomonas sp. WG were consecutively fused to the LB cloning vector, and the recombinant plasmid was transferred into Sphingomonas sp. WG by triparental mating. The results showed that gene fusion expression has little effect on sphingan titer, but enhanced the viscosity of sphingan. The viscosity of the sphingan produced by recombinant strain Sphingomonas sp. WG/pBBR1MCS-3-LB-welKB was 24.7% higher than that of the wild strain after fermentation for 84 h, which would be beneficial for its application. In conclusion, the application of LB cloning system were verified using Sphingomonas sp. WG. The LB cloning system may provide an efficient tool for fusion expression of target genes.

Objective:To explore the effects of maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and gestational weight gain and its subtypes on the risk of preeclampsia.Methods:Pregnant women delivered in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 2012 to September 2016 were selected as the research subjects. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 9 274 pregnant women were included. 901 preeclampsia pregnant women were selected as the case group, and 8 373 non-preeclampsia pregnant women were selected as the control group. General demographic characteristics, pre-pregnancy weight, height, lifestyle during pregnancy, reproductive history, and disease history of pregnant women were collected, and pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain were calculated. Unconditional logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between pre-pregnancy BMI and weight gain during pregnancy and PE and its clinical subtypes.Results:Among the 901 preeclampsia after inclusion and exclusion, 401 cases were diagnosed as early-onset PE (EOPE), 500 cases were late-onset PE (LOPE), 178 cases were Mild PE (MPE), and 723 cases were severe PE (SPE). There were statistically significant differences between PE and non-PE pregnant women in terms of maternal age, residence, parity, family history of gestational diabetes and hypertension ( P<0.05). After adjusting for the above factors, the logistic regression analysis results showed that pre-pregnancy BMI<18.5 kg/m 2 and inadequate gestational weight gain were protective factors for PE ( OR=0.74, 95% CI: 0.56-0.98; OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.62-0.99), while pre-pregnancy BMI≥24.0 kg/m 2 and excessive gestational weight gain were risk factors for PE ( OR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.54-2.14; OR=1.82, 95% CI: 1.54-2.15). After subtype analysis on PE, the results showed that pre-pregnancy BMI<18.5 kg/m 2 was a protective factor for EOPE and MPE ( OR=0.52, 95% CI: 0.32-0.83; OR=0.47, 95% CI: 0.23-0.97), while pre-pregnancy BMI≥24.0 kg/m 2 and excessive gestational weight gain were risk factors for clinical subtypes of PE. After stratification according to pre-pregnancy BMI, excessive gestational weight gain was the risk factor for PE ( OR=1.86, 95% CI: 1.51-2.30; OR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.39-2.60) in pregnant women 18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m 2 and ≥24.0 kg/m 2. Inadequate gestational weight gain ( OR=0.55, 95% CI: 0.34-0.89) was a protective factor for PE in pregnant women with pre-pregnancy BMI≥24.0 kg/m 2. Excessive gestational weight gain ( OR=4.05, 95% CI: 1.20-13.69) was a risk factor for EOPE in pregnant women with pre-pregnancy BMI<18.5 kg/m 2. Excessive gestational weight gain was a risk factor for the clinical subtype of PE in pregnant women 18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<24.0 kg/m 2 before pregnancy. Inadequate gestational weight gain was a protective factor for EOPE and MPE ( OR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.19-0.80; OR=0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.77) in pregnant women with pre-pregnancy BMI≥24.0 kg/m 2. Excessive weight gain was a risk factor for EOPE, LOPE and SPE ( OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.06-2.42; OR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.44-3.37; OR=2.28, 95% CI: 1.58-3.29). Conclusions:Pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain affect the risk of preeclampsia and its clinical subtypes. In contrast, the influence of gestational weight gain on preeclampsia varies among different pre-pregnancy BMI groups. Therefore, it is recommended to pay attention to the changes in pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain simultaneously to reduce preeclampsia.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses for pediatric nurses and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using a multi-stage cluster sampling method, clinical pediatric nurses from 13 hospitals of Henan Province were selected as research objects from July to October 2020. General situation questionnaire, Hospital Safety Atmosphere Questionnaire, Medication Near-miss Reporting Barriers Scale, Multiple Leadership Style of Head Nurse Scale and Patient Safety Competency Nursing Staff Self-rating Scale were used for investigation, and related factors affecting medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses were analyzed. A total of 1 104 questionnaires were distributed and 1 070 were effectively returned, with the effective recovery rate of 96.92%.Results:The reporting rate of 1 070 pediatric nurses who actively reported medication near-miss reporting barriers was 14.42%, and the score of Medication Near-miss Reporting Barriers Scale was (98.1±21.46) . The total scores of Hospital Safety Atmosphere Questionnaire was (77.36±12.97) , score of Multiple Leadership Style of Head Nurse Scale was (74.4±15.89) , and score of Patient Safety Competency Nursing Staff Self-rating Scale was (107.81±2.59) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that educational background, entry length, job title, marital status, leadership style, patient safety competence, and hospital safety atmosphere were the main influencing factors of medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The medication near-miss reporting barriers for pediatric nurses are common, which are influenced by educational background, years of employment, leadership style, hospital safety atmosphere and other factors. Nursing managers should strengthen pediatric nurses' awareness of medication near-miss reporting, implement transformational leadership style and improve patient safety competence and hospital safety atmosphere, so as to promote drug use safety of children.
