Druggability evaluation is one of the core processes in new drug development, yet the inaccuracy and high cost of existing in vitro liver models have been a major technical bottleneck, leading to an increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry for reliable in vitro liver models to enhance the efficiency of new drug research and development. Traditional animal models and in vitro 2D culture models have their limitations in simulating in vivo physiological and pathological conditions, making it challenging to accurately predict drug efficacy and safety. With the advancement of microfluidic technology, in vitro cell culture, and biosensor technology, liver-on-a-chip (LOC) has garnered increasing attention in the field of new drug development in recent years, and is expected to become a powerful tool for addressing the challenges in druggability evaluation. While introducing the construction technology of LOC, this article mainly summarizes the research and application of existing LOC from the perspectives of disease model construction, drug metabolism research, and drug safety evaluation. Furthermore, it analyzes the role of LOC in druggability evaluation and discusses the current challenges and prospects in this field.

Objective To independently design a protective restraint band used for the interventional catheter bed and to evaluate its application effect.Methods The self-designed restraint belt consisted of a restraint belt body,first movable band and second movable band.A total of 200 patients,who received interventional operation at the Affiliated Run Run Shaw Hospital,School of Medicine of Zhejiang University of China from October 2022 to March 2023,were collected for this study.The patients were divided into the study group(n=100,using the self-designed restraint belt)and the control group(n=100,not using the self-designed restraint belt).The duration of surgical interruption due to patient's factors and the incidence of restraint belt-related adverse events were compared between the two groups.Results The duration of surgical interruption of the study group was(0.26±0.12)min,which was significantly shorter than(1.46±0.50)min in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=-23.570,P<0.01).The incidence of restraint belt-related adverse events in the study group and the control group was 0%and 7%respectively,the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.380,P=0.012).Conclusion The protective restraint band used for the interventional catheter bed can reduce the incidence of restraint belt-related adverse events and improve surgical efficiency.

Objective:To explore the psychological experience of ICU nurses caring for young patients with suicide attempts in a general hospital, and to lay a foundation for the study of psychological adjustment and intervention for ICU nurses.Methods:Twelve ICU nurses who had experience of caring for suicide attempted- young patients from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University were selected by using descriptive qualitative research method and the maximum difference method of the purposive sampling during October to December in 2023, and semi-structured in-depth personal interviews were conducted. Traditional content analysis method was used to sort out and analyze the data and extract the themes.Results:A total of 12 nurses completed the interview, 5 males, 7 females, aged 23-38(29.33 ± 4.14) years, three themes and seven sub-themes were extracted: psychological characteristics of care (avoidance of active communication, fear of care, empathy); the support required for nursing care (support from colleagues; support from nursing managers); self-growth after caregiving (self-growth in terms of life and death, and self-growth in terms of children′s education).Conclusions:ICU nurses have a certain degree of psychological pressure when taking care of young patients with suicide attempts, which will produce empathy for patients and affect their self-values. At the same time, they need support from colleagues and nursing managers. Therefore, general hospitals should pay attention to the psychological state of ICU nurses, carry out the targeted communication training and mental health support for ICU nurses, and help them gain positive nursing career growth and values.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of milk fat globule-EGF factor 8(MFG-E8)in neuroprotection in glaucoma rats.Methods A glaucoma rat model was constructed,and MFG-E8 or D89E was injected into the vitreous cavity of the rats.The intraoc-ular pressure of the rats was measured.HE staining,TUNEL staining and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect the patholog-ical injury,apoptosis and microglia activation of the retina.The protein expressions of cleaved caspase-3,caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9,caspase-9 and Bax were detected by Western blotting,and the expression levels of IL-10,TGF-βand NGFwere detected by ELISA and RT-qPCR.Results Compared with the control group,the intraocular pressure of glaucoma rats significantly increased,the retinal GCC layer became thinner,the apoptotic cells increased,the levels of cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9/caspase-9 and Bax increased,and the number of IBA1 positive cells increased,after treatment with MFG-E8,retinal GCC layer thickness increased,and the levels of cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9/caspase-9,Bax decreased,the number of IBA1 positive cells and the levels of IL-10,TGF-β,NGFincreased,but the progression of glaucoma was aggravated after the treatment of MFG-E8 inactivated isomer D89E.Conclusion MFG-E8 can mediate microglia activation,inhibit apoptosis of ganglion cells,and slow down the progression of glaucoma in rats.

Objective:To translate the Nurse Delirium Care Competency Scale (NDCCS) into Chinese and test the validity and reliability of Chinese version of NDCCS among ICU nurses.Methods:According to Brislin translation model, the Chinese version of NDCCS was developed by forward translation, back translation, cross-cultural adaptation and pre-survey. From October to December of 2023, 338 ICU nurses from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected by cross-sectional survey to test the reliability and validity of Chinese version of NDCCS.Results:A total of 329 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 50 males and 279 females, aged 20-53 years old. The Chinese version of NDCCS included 6 dimensions and 27 items. The scale-level content validity value was 0.985, and the item-level content validity value was 0.800-1.000. Exploratory factor analysis showed a six-factor structure, the cumulative variance contribution rate was 75.700%, the Cronbach′s α coefficients of the scale amount table were 0.952, and the Cronbach′s α coefficients of the dimensions were 0.811- 0.936,and the retest reliability was 0.932.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the NDCCS has good reliability and validity, and it is suitable for assessing the delirium care competence of ICU nurses in China.

Objective:To optimize the accuracy of the intelligent hand hygiene system to monitor the hand hygiene timing warning, and provide a reference basis for healthcare workers to apply the intelligent hand hygiene system.Methods:Using a single-sample diagnostic pilot study method, 62 clinical nurses wearing smart badges working in the intensive care unit of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 were selected by convenience sampling methods. Direct observation was used as the gold standard. The accuracy of the warning timing of the intelligent hand hygiene monitoring system was optimized through adjusting the bed sensing rang,adjusting the time setting, adjusting the time settings according to the physical space of the ward and adding posture recognition.Results:The sensitivity of adjusting the bed sensing range was 0.935 (95% CI 0.918-0.949); the specificity was 0.008 (95% CI 0.001-0.074). The sensitivity of the temporal setting based on the physical space of the ward was 0.932(95% CI 0.915-0.946); the specificity was 0.205 (95% CI 0.087-0.410). The false positive rate with gesture recognition turned on was 86.1% higher than the false positive rate without gesture recognition which was 79.5%. The diagnostic OR based on the temporal setting of the physical space of the ward was the largest at 3.517(95% CI 1.213-10.193). Conclusions:The intelligent hand hygiene system exhibits high accuracy in monitoring hand hygiene timing. Adjusting the bed sensing range and individualizing the timing settings according to the physical space of the ward can improve the accuracy. Further optimization is needed for posture recognition to improve the accuracy.
