Objective:To investigate the current situation of uncivilized behavior in workplace encountered by nurses in Xianyang City, and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for formulating corresponding intervention measures.Methods:In May 2023, convenience sampling was used to investigate the general information, current situation of uncivilized behavior in workplace and coping style of 1310 nurses in 8 secondary and tertiary general hospitals in Xianyang City by using the general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Nurse Incivility Scale and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of uncivilized behavior encountered by nurses.Results:A total of 1285 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 98.09%. The total score of uncivilized behavior encountered by nurses was (86.41±22.49) points. Among them, the scores of five dimensions were nurses' uncivilized behavior (19.95±4.70) points, patients' uncivilized behavior (23.66±8.96) points, supervisors' uncivilized behavior (13.25±4.87) points, doctors' uncivilized behavior (14.32±5.63) points and colleagues' uncivilized behavior (15.23±4.93) points. The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the hospital level and coping style were the significant influencing factors of uncivilized behavior in workplace encountered by nurses ( β=0.104, 0.056; P<0.05) . Conclusion:The current situation of uncivilized behavior in workplace encountered by nurses needs to be improved. Hospital managers should focus on coping styles, such as setting up simulation scene exercises, team cooperation training, training and counseling, so as to reduce the uncivilized behavior in workplace encountered by nurses.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of cap-assisted endoscopic sclerotherapy (CAES) and procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) for internal hemorrhoids.Methods:This study was a prospective double-blind controlled clinical one. A total of 80 patients with internal hemorrhoids who visited Baoding No.1 Central Hospital from March 2018 to March 2020 and met the inclusion and did not meet exclusion criteria, were randomly divided into CAES group ( n=40) and PPH group ( n=40) by random number table method, and received corresponding treatment respectively. The perioperative indices of the two groups were compared, including intraoperative blood loss, operation time, visual analogue scale (VAS) score at 24 and 48 hours after operation, length of hospital stay, treatment costs, time to return to normal life, and curative rates. The complications within 3 months after operation and the 1-year recurrence after operation were also compared between the two groups. Results:The operation was successfully completed in all patients. The intraoperative blood loss (0.54±0.15 mL VS 7.32±2.17 mL) and treatment cost (6 249.53±435.67 yuan VS 7 832.96±526.74 yuan) in CAES group were significantly lower than those in PPH group ( t=19.714, P<0.05; t=14.650, P<0.05). The length of hospital stay (3.53±0.94 d VS 5.18±1.36 d) and time to return to normal life (5.26±1.28 d VS 7.17±2.09 d) in CAES group were significantly lower than those in PPH group ( t=6.312, P<0.05; t=4.929, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups ( t=0.977, P>0.05). The VAS scores at 24 h (2.64±0.70 points VS 3.59±0.93 points) and 48 h (1.28±0.31 points VS 2.16±0.57 points) after operation in CAES group were significantly lower than those in PPH group ( t=5.162, P<0.05; t=8.578, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the curative rate [90.0% (36/40) VS 97.5% (39/40)] between CAES group and PPH group ( χ2=0.853, P=0.356). During the follow-up period within 3 months after the operation, the incidence of urinary retention [0.0% (0/40) VS 15.0% (6/40)] and pain [2.5% (1/40) VS 22.5% (9/40)] in CAES group was significantly lower than those in PPH group ( χ2=4.504, P<0.05; χ2=7.314, P<0.05). No other complications occurred in the 80 patients. After 1 year of follow-up, the recurrence rate of CAES group was 7.5% (3/40), which was not statistically different from that in PPH group [5.0% (2/40), χ2=0.180, P>0.05]. Conclusion:As a new minimally invasive technique for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids, CAES has similar curative rate and 1-year recurrence rate to PPH. Compared with PPH, CAES shows the advantages of less trauma, less pain, faster recovery and lower cost.

Objective: To investigate the bacterial species, characteristics and differences of oral bacteria flora of saliva in the longevous elderly between in Bama county and in Debao county in Guangxi, in order to explore the relationship between longevity and oral salivary bacteria flora in the elderly. Methods: The saliva was taken from the longevous elderly in Bama county(BM group)and people aged over 60 years in Debao county(BS group)separately, and the total DNA was extracted.The 16S rDNA-V4 region was amplified by PCR and analyzed by sequencing.The main species and diversity of bacterial colonies were recorded for difference analysis. Results: A total of 14 saliva samples were collected from 7 cases in BM group and 7 cases in BS group.A total of 369 OTUs were generated by cluster analysis of 14 samples.At the genus level, the dominant salivary bacteria flora were Ctinomyces, Capnocytophaga, Chryseobacterium, Fusobacterium, Haemophilus, Lactobacillus, Leptotrichia, Neisseria, Porphyromonas, Prevotella, Rothia, Streptococcus, Veillonella in both BM group and BS group.The OTU PCA analysis showed that some evidence for indeterminate differences was found, but statistically significant differences did not exist in the dominant components of oral flora between the two groups(P>0.05). Also, the same tendency toward the diversity(P>0.05)was presented.Similarly, the species annotation analysis and the heat map showed that there were no significant differences(P>0.05)in oral salivary flora composition between the two groups.Lactobacillu was always the prevailing flora in the Phylume, Class, Order, Family and Genus, but the abundance ratio was different between the two groups as following: Lactobacillus abundance in salivary bacteria flora was higher in BM Group than in the BS group, while Mycoplasma abundance was lower in BM Group than in the BS group(P<0.05). Conclusions The dominant salivary bacteria flora is Lactobacillus in both BM and BS group, while, the abundance of Lactobacillus is higher in the BM group than in the BS group, which indicates that the longevity of population in Bama county may be related to Lactobacillus.

Objective: To observe the effect of moxibustion on the expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB) proteins in ankle joints of rats with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of RA.Methods: Adjuvant arthritis (AA) rat models were induced and used as rat models of RA. Rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a moxibustion group and a saline group. Rats in the normal and model groups were not treated; rats in the moxibustion group accepted treatment by moxibustion at Zusanli (ST 36) and Shenshu (BL 23) after modeling; rats in the saline group were injected with 0.15 mL saline to the bottom of the left hind paw and had no other treatments. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of rats' ankle joints under light microscope. Immunohistochemistry was used to observe the expressions of TNF-α and NF-κB in ankle joints of rats.Results: Compared with the normal group, the rats' ankle joints in the model group showed disorganization, joint surface defect, and significantly increased mean optical density (MOD) of TNF-α and NF-κB (allP<0.05). After moxibustion treatment, rats in the moxibustion group showed repaired ankle tissues, smooth joint surface without defects, decreased MOD of TNF-α and NF-κB than those in the model group (allP<0.05). Rats in the saline group had no damage to ankle joints, while TNF-α and NF-κB were significantly different from those in the model group (P<0.05).Conclusion: Moxibustion could down-regulate the expressions of NF-κB and TNF-α protein in ankle joints of RA rats, and produce an anti-inflammatory effect to promote tissue repair.

A method for simultaneous determination of 20 Perfluorinated alkyl substances ( PFAS) in animal liver using QuEChERs and HPLC_MS/MS technique was developed. The samples were extracted with 0. 1%hydrochloric acetonitrile and cleaned up with C18 , N_Propylethylendiamine ( PSA ) and graphitized carbon blacks ( GCB ) . The analytes were separated by a reversed phase C18 column and gradiently eluted with a mixed solution of 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate methanol and 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate. The samples were quantified using isotope internal standard and external standard with the matrix matched standard calibration curve method. Good linearity was obtained for all the 20 PFAS at the concentration of 0. 1-10 μg/L with the linear correlation coefficients more than 0. 9995. The limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification ( LOQ) for PFAS were 0. 05-0. 2 μg/kg and 0. 4-0. 5 μg/kg, respectively. The recoveries at three different concentration levels ( 0 . 5 , 2 and 5 μg/kg ) were in the range of 70 . 3% -108 . 1%. The repeatability expressed as relative standard deviations (RSD) was ranged from 2. 1% to 11. 9% (n=6).

Objective To analyze the characteristics of the rpoB, KatG and inhA genes mutations in rifampin and isoniazid resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) clinical isolates in Baise district, Guangxi autonomous region. Methods 128 MTB clinical strains were collected and isolated for drug susceptibility testing, and drug resistant strain DNA was subtracted for rpoB, KatG and inhA genes mutation analysis. Results 75%(27/36)isolates carried mutations in the rpoB gene,and 59.3%(16/27)isolates carried mutations in 531 sites. 44.1%(15/34) isolates carried mutations in KatG or inhA, and 66.7%(10/15) isolates appeared in KatG 315 site, with two new mutations found in KatG 279 and 427 site. In these mutation isolates, 13.3%(2/15) mutations appeared in inhA 5, 6.7%(1/15) in inhA 16, and 20%(3/15) in both katG and inhA. Conclusions The mutation of rpoB, katG and inhA genes in TB is highly correlated with its resistance to rifampin and isoniazid in Baise district, Guangxi autonomous region.
