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 summarize the clinical features and pregnancy outcomes of fetal micrognathia.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled 52 cases of fetal micrognathia diagnosed at Shandong Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital Affiliated to Qingdao University and Affiliated Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital of Nantong University from January 2014 to December 2022. Clinical features, genetic testing results, and pregnancy outcomes of the cases were summarized. These cases were divided into two groups based on whether they were complicated by other system anomalies: non-isolated micrognathia (49 cases) and isolated micrognathia (three cases). The non-isolated micrognathia cases were further divided into two subgroups: cleft palate group (21 cases) and non-cleft palate group (28 cases). Clinical features were compared between different groups. Statistical analysis was performed using two independent samples t-test, Chi-square test, or Fisher's exact test. Results:(1) The non-isolated micrognathia cases were complicated by one to six system anomalies, with the most common being facial anomalies (59.2%, 29/49), followed by circulatory system (51.0%, 25/49), musculoskeletal system (44.9%, 22/49), nervous system (34.7%, 17/49), digestive system (12.2%, 6/49), and urinary system anomalies (8.2%, 4/49). (2) Among 52 cases, nine non-isolated micrognathia cases received genetic testing, and the results indicated six with genetic abnormalities. (3) Forty-seven cases chose to terminate the pregnancies, while the other five cases continued the pregnancies (all fetuses were non-isolated micrognathia) and resulted in live births. Treatment was withdrawn in one live birth due to multiple anomalies, and the other four neonates required mechanical ventilation (two died after withdrawal of treatment; two underwent surgeries after birth and the prognosis of them was good during a one-year outpatient follow-up). (4) The proportion of women with polyhydramnios [28.6% (6/21) vs. 3.6% (1/28), Fisher's exact test, P=0.033] and the proportion of fetuses with confirmed Pierre Robin sequence [85.7% (18/21) vs. 7.1% (2/28), Fisher's exact test, P<0.001] were higher in the cleft palate group than those in the non-cleft palate group. Conclusions:Fetal micrognathia cases revealed by prenatal ultrasound should undergo a comprehensive screening for other system anomalies, especially cleft palate. Fetuses with micrognathia and multiple system anomalies often have a poor prognosis. Besides, it is recommended to take genetic testing. For fetuses with micrognathia, preparations for neonatal resuscitation at birth are essential to avoid adverse outcomes due to breathing difficulties.

In medical research,predictive models have been widely used to predict disease progression and identify high-risk populations in advance, especially in the prevention and diagnosis of chronic diseases. In ophthalmology, the predictive and diagnostic models for fundus diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy have demonstrated expert-level accuracy. However, the application of predictive models is still in the exploratory stage as for myopia prevention and control. The establishment of a predictive model is helpful to identify the high-risk myopic children in advance, so that preventive measures such as adequate outdoor activities and reducing near work can be taken in time, which is of great significance to prevent or slow down the occurrence and development of myopia. Because the mechanism of myopia has not been fully elucidated, there are still challenges and limitations in the selection of application objects, predictors and predictive outcomes. This paper reviews the research progress of different types of myopia predictive models in order to provide reference for further development and improvement.

BACKGROUND:microRNA-26b(miR-26b)plays an important regulatory role in a variety of stem cell functions,but its effects on the biological properties of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells are unknown. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of miR-26b on the proliferation,migration and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were cultured and identified.miR-26 mimics(experimental group)and miRNAs mimics control(control group)were used to transfect above mentioned two kinds of cells and construct overexpressed models for subsequent experiments.CCK-8 assay was applied to detect the proliferation ability of overexpressed miR-26b cells.Transwell and scratch assay were employed to analyze the migration ability of overexpressed miR-26b cells.RT-qPCR was utilized to examine the expression of osteogenic markers after osteogenic induction of overexpressed miR-26b cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Transfection of miR-26b mimics increased miR-26b expression in the two kinds of cells and promoted the proliferation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth,with no significant effect on the amplification of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells.(2)Compared with the control group,the migration ability was enhanced after two types of cells overexpressing miR-26b.(3)miR-26b expression decreased during osteogenic differentiation of the two kinds of cells.(4)Compared with the control group,the levels of osteogenesis-related genes osteocalcin,osteopontin,alkaline phosphatase,and human type I collagen mRNA were downregulated after overexpression of miR-26b in the two kinds of cells.The results showed that overexpression of miR-26b promoted the proliferation and migration of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and inhibited their osteogenic differentiation;it promoted the migration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells and inhibited their osteogenic differentiation,but had no significant effects on their proliferation.

Objective :
To explore the effect of esketamine on anxiety-depressive-like behavior in mice and its rela- tionship with inflammation.
Methods :
SPF grade healthy adult male C57BL/6J mice,weighing 20 -24 g,were used in the exprement.The random number table method was used to divide into 5 groups (n = 8) : control group ( Con group) ,esketamine group (ESK group) ,model group ( LPS group) ,model + esketamine prevention group (LPS + ESK1 group) and model + esketamine treatment group ( LPS + ESK2 group) .An inflammation-induced anxiety-depression model was prepared by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 0. 83 mg / kg.The ESK group was injec- ted with esketamine 10 mg / kg ; LPS group was injected with LPS 0. 83 mg / kg ; LPS + ESK1 group was injected with LPS 0. 83 mg / kg before 24 hours intraperitoneal injection of esketamine 10 mg / kg ; and the LPS + ESK2 group was injected with LPS 0. 83 mg / kg and 30 minutes later with esketamine 10 mg / kg.24 h after intraperitoneal injec- tion of LPS,the anxiety-depression-like behaviors of mice were measured using behavioral experiments.At the end of behavioral experiments,the spleen was taken immediately ; hippocampal tissues were taken and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the contents of interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) ,tumor necrosis factor al- pha (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) and neuronal pathological changes in hippocampal tissues were observed by HE staining.
Results :
Compared with the Con group,mice in the LPS group showed increased anxiety and depres- sion-like behavior (P<0. 05) ,increased spleen weight / body weight (P <0. 05 ) ,increased hippocampal tissue concentrations of IL-1 β , TNF-α and IL-6 (P<0. 05) ,and increased neuronal degeneration necrosis,there was no statistically significant difference in these indicators in the ESK group compared with the Con group.Compared with the LPS group,mice in the LPS + ESK1 and LPS + ESK2 groups showed reduced anxiety-depression-like behavior (P<0. 05) ,decreased splenic weight / body weight (P <0. 05) ,hippocampal tissue IL-1 β , TNF-α , IL- 6 con- centrations were reduced (P<0. 05) ,and neuronal degeneration necrosis was reduced.Compared with the LPS + ESK1 group,the LPS + ESK2 group showed an increase in the distance travelled in the central area of the open field experiment and the distance into the open arm of the elevated cross maze experiment (P<0. 05) ,a decrease in IL-6 and TNF-α concentrations (P<0. 05) ,and a reduction in the degree of neuronal damage.
Conclusion
Esketamine ameliorates LPS-induced anxiety-depression-like behavior and neuronal damage in mice by a mechanism that may be related to reduced inflammation.

Objective:
To evaluate the intervention effectiveness of broken window effect combined with narrative nursing on non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents, so as to provide the basis for NSSI prevention in adolescents.
Methods:
Totally 134 adolescents with NSSI admitted to Mental Health Center of the Affiliated Hospital of Anhui West Health Vocational College from January 2022 to December 2023 were enrolled and randomly assigned into the control and treatment group. All were given narrative nursing and routine care, and the adolescents in the treatment group were given additional intervention based on broken window effect. The effects were evaluated using Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Self-Rating Idea of Suicide Scale (SIOSS), Ottawa Self-injury Inventory-Functions (OSI-F) and Nursing Satisfaction Scale, and the two groups were compared before and after intervention.
Results:
The treatment and control groups comprised 67 cases each, had a median age of 14.12 (interquartile range, 2.01) years and 14.10 (interquartile range, 1.52) years, included 71.64% and 68.66% girls, and 79.10% and 74.63% junior high school students, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the treatment and control groups in terms of gender, age or educational level (all P>0.05). The results of analysis of variance for repeated measures showed that there were interactions between time and group for SDS, HAMD and SIOSS scores (all P<0.05), and the decrease in scores before and after intervention was greater in the treatment group than in the control group. After intervention, the SDS, HAMD, SIOSS score and incidence of suicidal behaviors in the treatment group were all lower than the control group [SDS: (32.54±1.27) vs. (44.25±2.23); HAMD: (10.54±1.83) vs. (18.73±1.89); SIOSS: (10.37±2.20) vs. (15.76±1.62); incidence of suicidal behavior: 14.93% vs. 32.84%; all P<0.05]. The nursing satisfaction rate was significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group (98.51% vs. 88.06%, P<0.05).
Conclusion
The broken window effect combined with narrative nursing would improve the depressive symptoms in adolescents with NSSI, and reduce the suicidal ideation and self injury.

Objective:To investigate the association between congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and the adverse outcomes during hospitalization in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI).Methods:This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study was conducted based on the data from the Sino-northern Neonatal Network (SNN). Data of 5 818 VLBWI with birth weight <1 500 g and gestational age between 24-<37 weeks that were admitted to the 37 neonatal intensive care units from January 1 st, 2019 to December 31 st, 2022 were collected and analyzed. Thyroid function was first screened at 7 to 10 days after birth, followed by weekly tests within the first 4 weeks, and retested at 36 weeks of corrected gestational age or before discharge. The VLBWI were assigned to the CH group or non-CH group. Chi-square test, Fisher exact probability method, Wilcoxon rank sum test, univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze the relationship between CH and poor prognosis during hospitalization in VLBWI. Results:A total of 5 818 eligible VLBWI were enrolled, with 2 982 (51.3%) males and the gestational age of 30 (29, 31) weeks. The incidence of CH was 5.5% (319 VLBWI). Among the CH group, only 121 VLBWI (37.9%) were diagnosed at the first screening. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that CH was associated with increased incidence of extrauterine growth retardation (EUGR) ( OR=1.31(1.04-1.64), P<0.05) and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) of stage Ⅲ and above ( OR=1.74(1.11-2.75), P<0.05). However, multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed no significant correlation between CH and EUGR, moderate to severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ intraventricular hemorrhage, neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis in stage Ⅱ or above, and ROP in stage Ⅲ or above ( OR=1.04 (0.81-1.33), 0.79 (0.54-1.15), 1.15 (0.58-2.26), 1.43 (0.81-2.53), 1.12 (0.70-1.80), all P>0.05). Conclusion:There is no significant correlation between CH and in-hospital adverse outcomes, possibly due to timely diagnosis and active replacement therapy.
