Objective:To explore the application of a role transition shock model based on the teach-back technique in knee arthroplasty nursing teaching.Methods:We assigned 50 nursing student interns practicing in the knee arthroplasty team of Orthopedics Department of Nanjing First Hospital between August 2020 and August 2022 into control group ( n=25, traditional teaching) and observation group ( n=25, teach-back-based role transition shock model teaching) according to the order of admission. At the end of internship, the examination scores, the impact of transition shock on comprehensive abilities, and teaching satisfaction of the students were assessed and analyzed using the t test and Fisher's exact test with the use of SPSS 22.0. Results:Compared with the control group, the observation group scored significantly lower in the physical, psychological, knowledge and skills, and sociocultural and developmental dimensions of the transition shock assessment scale ( P<0.05). The observation group showed significantly higher scores of nurse-patient communication, nursing practice, disease observation, health education, humanistic care, team cooperation, clinical thinking, and emergency response than the control group ( P<0.05). The examination results of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group ( t=12.31, 11.52, P<0.001). The teaching satisfaction rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [100.00% (25/25) vs. 68.00% (17/25), χ2=9.52, P=0.002]. Conclusions:The teach-back-based role transition shock model can help alleviate the transition impact faced by nursing student interns when entering clinical practice, and also improve their comprehensive abilities as well as satisfaction with teaching.

Intracellular neurofibrillary tangles resulting from abnormal hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein constitute one of the principal pathological markers of Alzheimer′s disease. Existing studies have indicated that BSc3094 is an efficacious inhibitor of Tau protein aggregation, capable of binding to Tau protein, inhibiting Tau protein phosphorylation, and enhancing cell viability concurrently, holding significant potential in treating Alzheimer′s disease. Nevertheless, due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier, it is challenging for drugs to penetrate the brain and exert their effects, and whether BSc3094 can treat Alzheimer′s disease by inhibiting Tau protein aggregation has not been profoundly investigated. Hence, in this study, small-sized (PLGA) nanoparticles were fabricated through the stirring method. BSc3094 was loaded into the nanoparticles (PLGA@BSc). To further enhance the brain entry efficiency of PLGA nanoparticles, a pathological BBB-targeting peptide was modified on the surface to obtain PLGA@BSc@K. In this study, the stability, cytotoxicity, and pathological targeting of the nanosystem were characterized. The particle size of the nanosystem was about 90 nm, which was negatively charged. The results demonstrated that the particle size of the nanoparticles did not fluctuate conspicuously within 168 h, and the stability was favorable. PLGA and BSc3094 had no notable impact on cell viability and displayed low cytotoxicity. At 1 and 4 h, it was observed that the uptake of targeted modified nanoparticles by cells in pathological states augmented, suggesting that PLGA@BSc@K had an excellent pathological blood-brain barrier targeting effect. This study provides a novel concept for the targeting of BSc3094 nanoparticles in the brain and the treatment of Alzheimer′s disease.

Background; Sucralfate is a commonly used gastric mucosal protector in clinical practice. It can be dissociated into aluminum hydroxide and sucrose sulfate under the action of gastric acid. As a topical agent, sucralfate is mainly excreted with feces, and the tiny amount of sucralfate absorbed in gastrointestinal tract is excreted with urine in the form of disaccharide sulfate. Aims; To study the effect and safety of a domestic made oral sucralfate suspensoid gel on blood aluminum concentration. Methods; Twenty-three healthy volunteers participated in this study from June 2021 to September 2021 at the Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. All subjects received sucralfate suspensoid gel daily (1 h before breakfast in the morning, and before bedtime in the evening, 1 g each time) for 2 weeks. Blood samples were collected on day 1 (before sucralfate administration) and day 15 (after medication completion) for determination of blood aluminum concentration. Any adverse events (including abnormal laboratory indicators) were recorded. Results: No significant difference was existed in mean blood aluminum concentration of the healthy subjects between time points before and after sucralfate administration [(47. 66 ± 15. 64) μg/L vs. (39. 12 ± 2 0. 42) μg/L, P > 0. 0 5]. All the blood aluminum values after medication were within the reference range (70 μ g/L), so did the blood routine, urine routine and blood biochemical indicators before and after medication. No severe adverse events were reported. Conclusions; The domestic made sucralfate suspensoid gel used in this study for 2 weeks has no adverse effect on blood aluminum concentration in healthy subjects. It is considered to be safe and reliable, and is worthy for clinical application.

Objective To explore the sensitivity of Culex pipiens pallens to common chemical insecticides in the southwestern region of Shandong Province, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the development of reasonable and effective mosquito control measures. Methods The resistance of Cx. pipiens pallens larvae to 5 chemical insecticides, such as cypermethrin, deltamethrin, DDVP, propoxur, and acetofenate were tested by using the WHO biological test method in 2018, and the co-toxicity coefficients after compounding the above-mentioned insecticides were tested by using a drug compounding method. Results The resistance indexes of Cx. pipiens pallens to cypermethrin, deltamethrin, DDVP, propoxur, and acetofenate in 3 cities were 144.43–557.54, 118.17–445.33, 6.44–19.00, 2.37–8.10, and 0.88–2.98, respectively, and expect the difference between the DDVP resistances of Cx. pipiens pallens in Jining City and Heze City was not statistically significant (P > 0.05), all the other differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The synergistic coefficients of cypermethrin + DDVP, cypermethrin + propoxur, DDVP + acetofenate, and propoxur + acetofenate were 199.58 – 456.95, 190.56 – 292.37, 123.32 – 319.24, and 192.31 – 367.32, respectively. The lower synergism was observed by using the mixture of DDVP + propoxur (synergistic coefficient: 99.87–108.36) . Conclusions After decades of chemical control, Cx. pipiens pallens in the southwestern region of Shandong Province has produced different degrees of resistance to common chemical insecticides. Therefore, comprehensive control measures should be taken to control mosquito breeding and prevent the development of insecticide resistance.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the relationship between the change rules of volatile organic compounds （VOCs） in rat muscle and postmortem interval （PMI）. METHODS: A total of 120 healthy rats were divided randomly into 12 groups （10 for each group）. After the rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, the bodies were kept at （25±1） ℃. Rat muscle samples were separately obtained at 12 PMI points, including 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 d. The VOCs in rat muscles were collected, detected and analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction （HS-SPME） coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometer （GC-MS）. RESULTS: In total, 15 species of VOCs were identified, including 9 aromatic compounds, 3 sulfur compounds, 2 aliphatic acids and 1 heterocyclic compound. The species of VOCs increased with PMI： no species were detected within 1 day, 3 species were detected on day 2, 9 on day 3, 11 on day 4, 14 from day 5 to 7, and 15 from day 8 to 10. Total peak area of 15 species of VOCs was significantly correlated to PMI （adjusted R²=0.15-0.96）： the regression function was y=-17.05 x²+ 164.36 x-246.36 （adjusted R²=0.96） from day 2 to 5, and y=2.24 x+101.13 （adjusted R²=0.97） from day 6 to 10. CONCLUSIONS The change rules of VOCs in rat muscle are helpful for PMI estimation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the mechanism of miR-124 inhibiting the proliferative activity of prostate cancer PC3 cells.

METHODSLuciferase reporter gene assay was used to examine the specific binding ability of miR-124 to PKM2 mRNA 3'-UTR. After miR-124 was transfected mimic to PC3 cells, the expression levels of PKM2 mRNA and protein were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The effects of miR-124 mimic and PKM2 siRNA on the proliferative activity of the PC3 cells were determined by MTT assay.

RESULTSThe expressions of PKM2 mRNA and protein were upregulated (5.12 +/- 0.35) times and (4.05 +/- 0.20) times respectively in the PC3 cells as compared with those in the RWPE-1 cells (P < 0.05). Luciferase reporter gene assay demonstrated that miR-124 targeted PKM2 3'-UTR. At 24 hours after transfection with miR-124 mimic, the PKM2 protein expression in the PC3 cells was downregulated (0.16 +/- 0.04) times (P < 0.05), while the PKM2 mRNA level was not changed significantly (P > 0.05), as compared with the control group. MTT assay showed that both miRNA-124 mimic and PKM2 siRNA could inhibit the proliferation of the PC3 cells, but the former exhibited a greater inhibitory effect than the latter. After transfection with miR-124 mimic and PKM2 siRNA, the cell growth rates were (66.20 +/- 5.10)% vs (82.10 +/- 6.35)% at 24 hours (P < 0.05) and (49.34 +/- 2.37)% vs (70.10 +/- 5.80)% at 48 hours (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONmiR-124 can suppress the proliferation of PC3 cells by regulating the PKM2 gene.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety, feasibility and the long-term outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC).

METHODSThe clinical and follow-up data of 46 cases after LAG from June 2008 to December 2009 were analyzed, and compared with 85 cases after conventional open gastrectomy (OG) for advanced gastric cancer at the same period at our hospital. The surgical safety, postoperative recovery, complications, radical degree, survival rate were compared.

RESULTAs compared with OG group, operation time was longer in LATG group ((274 ± 78) min vs. ( 217 ± 41) min, t = 4.635, P = 0.000). Estimated blood loss in the LAG group ((254 ± 112) ml) was significantly less than in the OG group (t = 3.942, P = 0.000). Time to ambulation ((63 ± 16) hours), first flatus ((77 ± 20) hours), resumed liquid diet ((88 ± 15) hours), duration of analgesic medication ((53 ± 20) hours) and postoperative hospital stay ((11.1 ± 4.6) days) were significantly shorter in the LAG group (t = 5.549, 6.508, 9.436, 9.464 and 2.980 respectively, all P < 0.01). The distance of the proximal and distal resection margin were (5.7 ± 1.4) cm and (3.9 ± 1.5) cm in LAG group, (5.8 ± 1.1) cm and (4.7 ± 1.5) cm in OG group respectively, but the difference was not significant. The number of lymph node dissections was also similar, (30.5 ± 10.4) in LAG group and (32.6 ± 12.3) in OG group (t = 0.960, P = 0.339). The incidence of postoperative complications and mortality rate in LAG group (8.7% and 0 respectively) were also lower than in the OG group, with no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05). The mean follow-up was 31.0 months (range 6-48 months), and the cumulative survival of the 2 groups was similar (χ(2) = 1.594, P = 0.207).

CONCLUSIONSLaparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer is not significantly different with open surgery in surgical safety, radical degree, and survival rate. It is less traumatic and of fewer complications.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of FLAMIGEL (hydrogel dressing) on the repair of residual burn wound.

METHODSSixty burn patients with residual wounds hospitalized in 6 burn units from November 2011 to May 2012 were enrolled in the multi-center, randomized, and self-control clinical trial. Two residual wounds of each patient were divided into groups T (treated with FLAMIGEL) and C (treated with iodophor gauze) according to the random number table. On post treatment day (PTD) 7 and 14, wound healing rate was calculated, with the number of completely healed wound counted. The degree of pain patient felt during dressing change was evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS). The mean numbers of wounds with score equal to zero, more than zero and less than or equal to 3, more than 3 and less than or equal to 6, more than 6 and less than or equal to 10 were recorded respectively. Wound secretion or exudate samples were collected for bacterial culture, and the side effect was observed. Data were processed with repeated measure analysis of variance, t test, chi-square test, and nonparametric rank sum test.

RESULTSWound healing rate of groups T, C on PTD 7 was respectively (67 ± 24)%, (45 ± 25)%, and it was respectively (92 ± 16)%, (72 ± 23)% on PTD 14. There was statistically significant difference in wound healing rate on PTD 7, 14 between group T and group C (F = 32.388, P < 0.01). Ten wounds in group T and four wounds in group C were healed completely on PTD 7, with no significant difference between them (χ(2) = 0, P > 0.05). Forty-two wounds in group T and seven wounds in group C healed completely on PTD 14, with statistically significant difference between them (χ(2) = 42.254, P < 0.01). Patients in group T felt mild pain during dressing change for 37 wounds, with VAS score higher than zero and lower than or equal to 3. Evident pain was observed in patients of group C during dressing change for 43 wounds, and it scored higher than 3 and less than or equal to 6 by VAS evaluation. There was statistically significant difference in mean number of wounds with different grade of VAS score between group T and group C (Z = -4.638, P < 0.01). Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, E. coli, Baumanii, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were all detected in both groups, but there was no statistical difference between group T and group C (χ(2) = 0.051, P > 0.05). No side effect was observed in either of the two groups during the whole trial.

CONCLUSIONSFLAMIGEL can accelerate the healing of residual burn wounds and obviously relieve painful sensation during dressing change.
