Background Prehospital emergency medical personnel (PEMP) are exposed to long-term high-pressure work, which can exacerbate psychological distress and impair job satisfaction and sleep quality. However, in-depth research on the interactions among these factors is lacking. Objective To assess the status of psychological distress, job satisfaction, and sleep quality of PEMP in Guangzhou and to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction. Methods From February to May 2025, 1085 PEMP from "120" emergency network hospitals in Guangzhou were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected via the General Information Questionnaire, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, and The mediation model of sleep quality in linking psychological distress and job satisfaction was constructed using AMOS 28.0. The bias-corrected Bootstrap method was employed to assessed the significance of the mediating effect. Results A total of 1063 valid responses were received (97.97% valid response rate). The mean scores were: psychological distress (27.99±10.75), job satisfaction (69.45±15.84), and sleep quality (9.82±4.47). Significant differences in the three scores were found across gender, age, monthly night shift frequency, and hospital grade (P<0.05). Higher job satisfaction was linked to lower psychological distress and better sleep quality and its dimensions, while psychological distress directly correlated with poorer sleep quality (P<0.01). Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction, with a mediating effect of −0.195, accounting for 43.62% of the total effect. Conclusion The participants report moderate psychological distress, moderate-to-high job satisfaction, and poor sleep quality. Psychological distress directly affects job satisfaction and indirectly through its impact on sleep quality. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health and mental health are essential to improve personnel well-being and work efficiency.

Objective To observe the effects of acupuncture at"Jiaji"on angiogenesis in rats with lumbar muscle aging based on AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway;To explore its possible mechanism of improving lumbar muscle aging atrophy.Methods Totally 30 SPF male SD rats were randomly divided into model group,acupuncture group and non-acupoint group,with 10 rats in each group.Subcutaneous injection of D-galactose(300 mg/kg)into the neck and back of rats was used to prepare a subacute lumbar muscle aging rat model.Another 10 rats were selected as the blank group,and an equal amount of normal saline was subcutaneously injected into the neck and back.Intervention began in the 9th week of modeling.The acupuncture group received acupuncture at bilateral L3-L5"Jiaji",while the non-acupoint group received bilateral non-meridian and non-acupoint acupuncture,each time for 30 minutes,once a day,6 times a week,for 4 consecutive weeks.β-galactosidase staining was used to observe the morphology of rat lumbar muscle tissue;TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis of lumbar muscle tissue cells;ELISA was used to detect the contents of nitric oxide(NO)and endothelin-1(ET-1)in lumbar muscle tissue;immunofluorescence staining was used to detect CD31 expression and microvascular density in lumbar muscle tissue;Western blot was used to detect protein expressions of p-AMP activated protein kinase(AMPK),silencing information regulatory factor 1(SIRT1)and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma co activator factor 1α(PGC-1α)in lumbar muscle tissue.Results Compared with the blank group,the positive cells of β-galactosidase staining in lumbar muscle tissue of the model group increased significantly,the apoptosis rate significantly increased(P<0.001),the NO content in lumbar muscle tissue significantly decreased(P<0.001),the ET-1 content significantly increased(P<0.001),the expression of CD31 and microvascular density significantly decreased(P<0.001),and the protein expressions of p-AMPK,SIRT1 and PGC-1α significantly decreased(P<0.01,P<0.001).Compared with the model group,the positive cells of β-galactosidase staining in lumbar muscle tissue of rats in the acupuncture group was significantly reduced,the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased(P<0.001),NO content significantly increased(P<0.001),ET-1 content was significantly reduced(P<0.01),CD31 expression and microvascular density significantly increased(P<0.01,P<0.001),and the protein expressions of p-AMPK,SIRT1,PGC-1α significantly increased(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Acupuncture at"Jiaji"can promote angiogenesis in lumbar skeletal muscle,and then improve the aging atrophy of lumbar muscle,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of AMPK/SIRT1/PGC-1α signaling pathway.

Objective To observe the value of deep learning(DL)reconstruction algorithm for improving imaging quality of accelerated T2WI of cervical tumors.Methods A total of 43 patients with suspected cervical tumors were prospectively enrolled.Cervical conventional T2WI and accelerated T2WI based on DL reconstruction(DL-T2WI)were acquired.The imaging quality was subjectively assessed by 2 physicians using a 4-point system,including overall image quality,artifact,noise,sharpness and lesion detectability scores,and then were compared between conventional T2WI and DL-T2WI.Results The acquisition of conventional T2WI took 116 s,while of DL-T2WI took 101 s.The inter-observer consistency of subjective evaluation results on the overall image quality,artifact,noise,sharpness and lesion detectability scores were all excellent(Kappa=0.851-0.969).No significant difference of subjective evaluation results on overall image quality nor lesion detectability scores was found between conventional T 2WI and DL-T2WI(both P＞0.05),while the artifact and sharpness scores of DL-T2WI were significantly higher but the noise score was significantly lower than those of conventional T2WI(all P＜0.05).Conclusion DL reconstruction algorithm was helpful for improving imaging quality of accelerated T 2WI of cervical tumors.

Objective: This study investigated the value of multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) in predicting Gleason score (GS) upgrading and downgrading in radical prostatectomy (RP) compared with presurgical biopsy. Materials and Methods: Clinical and mpMRI data were retrospectively collected from 219 patients with prostate disease between January 2015 and December 2021. All patients underwent systematic prostate biopsy followed by RP. MpMRI included conventional diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors associated with GS upgrading and downgrading after RP. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to estimate the area under the curve (AUC) to indicate the performance of the multivariable logistic regression models in predicting GS upgrade and downgrade after RP. Results: The GS after RP was upgraded, downgraded, and unchanged in 92, 43, and 84 patients, respectively. The AUCs of the clinical (percentage of positive biopsy cores [PBCs], time from biopsy to RP) and mpMRI models (prostate cancer [PCa] location, Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System [PI-RADS] v2.1 score) for predicting GS upgrading after RP were 0.714 and 0.749, respectively. The AUC of the combined diagnostic model (age, percentage of PBCs, tPSA, PCa location, and PIRADS v2.1 score) was 0.816, which was larger than that of the clinical factors alone (P < 0.001). The AUCs of the clinical (age, percentage of PBCs, ratio of free/total PSA [F/T]) and mpMRI models (PCa diameter, PCa location, and PI-RADS v2.1 score) for predicting GS downgrading after RP were 0.749 and 0.835, respectively. The AUC of the combined diagnostic model (age, percentage of PBCs, F/T, PCa diameter, PCa location, and PI-RADS v2.1 score) was 0.883, which was larger than that of the clinical factors alone (P < 0.001). Conclusion Combining clinical factors and mpMRI findings can predict GS upgrade and downgrade after RP more accurately than using clinical factors alone.

Objective To evaluate the early efficacy and safety of the regimens containing delamanid and linezolid in the treatment of rifampicin resistant tuberculosis(RR-TB).Methods A total of 47 patients diagnosed with RR-TB at Public Health Clinical Center of Chengdu from August 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled,including 22 cases(46.8％)of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis(MDR-TB),8 cases(17.0％)of RR-TB,and 17 cases(36.2％)of pre-extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis(pre-XDR-TB).All patients were treated with a regimen based on delamanid and linezolid.The efficacy and safety were evaluated at 24 weeks of treatment.Results Among the 47 patients,46(97.9％)completed 24 weeks of treatment and 1(2.1％)was lost to follow-up.At 24 weeks,the sputum culture conversion rate was 100％in the 43 patients with positive baseline sputum culture.The median conversion time was 2(2,8)weeks.Imaging examination showed absorption in 46 patients(97.9％).Overall,40 patients(85.1％)experienced varying degrees of adverse events(AEs)within 24 weeks.Eleven patients(23.4％)experienced AEs possibly related to delamanid,mainly including QTcF interval prolongation(12.8％),gastrointestinal reactions(8.5％),dizziness(2.1％),headache(2.1％),and allergy(2.1％).Six patients permanently discontinued delamanid due to AEs including gastrointestinal reactions(6.4％),prolonged QTcF interval(2.1％),severe dizziness(2.1％),and drug allergy(2.1％).Patients with low baseline CD4+T lymphocyte counts(OR=0.991,95％CI:0.984-0.999)were more likely to experience delamanid-related AEs.Thirty patients(63.8％)experienced AEs possibly related to linezolid,including myelosuppression(55.3％),peripheral neuropathy(6.4％),optic neuritis occurred(2.1％),and allergy(2.1％).Three patients(6.4％)discontinued linezolid permanently due to severe anemia,peripheral neuropathy,and allergy.Conclusions The treatment regimens containing delamanid and linezolid for RR-TB showed a high sputum culture conversion rate and good tolerance at 24 weeks.Attention should be paid to gastrointestinal reactions and cellular immunity during treatment.
