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.

Sepsis refers to a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection,with persistently high morbidity and mortality,posing a significant healthcare burden.As integral components of innate and adaptive immunity,macrophages exhibit high plasticity and can differentiate into distinct phenotypes(M1 pro-inflammatory and M2 anti-inflammatory)in response to various environmental stimuli,playing crucial roles in both the hyperinflammatory phase and late immunosuppressive phase of sepsis.The metabolic profile of M2 macrophages has gradually become a research focus,and it is regulated by a variety of enzymes and signaling pathways,including adenosine 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase,peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor and protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase pathways.These pivotal signaling pathways and enzymes can promote the polarization of M2 macrophages and enhance their anti-inflammatory functions by modulating the metabolism of glucose,lipid,and amino acid,thereby conferring protective effects against sepsis and providing new ideas for the targeted treatment.

Objective To investigate the DSA imaging characteristics and efficacy of interventional treatment for post-pancreaticoduodenectomy hemorrhage(PPH),and to analyze the factors influencing recurrent bleeding following successful interventional hemostasis.Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent interventional treatment for PPH between January 2013 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients underwent DSA examination,and interventional therapy was the primary treatment option for patients with positive findings.Statistical analysis was performed on DSA angiography manifestations,bleeding sites,success rate of interventional treatment and hemostasis effectiveness.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the independent risk factors for rebleeding after interventional treatment for PPH.Results A total of 139 patients with PPH were included in this study.All 139 patients underwent DSA examination,with a positive rate of 82.01％(114/139)in the first examination.Major angiographic manifestations included contrast agent extravasation,pseudoaneurysm,and disrupted vascular architecture;bleeding sites included gastroduodenal artery in 45 cases(39.47％),hepatic artery in 22 cases(19.30％),and superior mesenteric artery in 32 cases(28.07％).107 patients underwent interventional treatment(81 embolization and 26 stenting),with a success rate of 91.59％(98/107).The independent risk factors for recurrent bleeding after interventional treatment in patients with PPH included preoperative bleeding(P＜0.001)and pancreatic fistula(P=0.041).Conclusion Interventional procedures for PPH can be efficient in diagnosis and treatment,with a high success rate and effective hemostasis.However,it should be noted that some patients remain at risk of recurrent bleeding after successful interventional hemostasis.

Objective:To examine the validity and reliability of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale(BPNSFS)in the adult population.Methods:A total of 488 adults were recruited and random-ly divided into 2 groups.One half(n=244)was utilized for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis,while the other half(n=244)was reserved for confirmatory factor analysis.One month later,a convenient sample of 100 in-dividuals was selected for retesting.The Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21(DASS-21)and the Satisfaction with Life Scale(SWLS)were employed as criterion measures.Results:Both subscales of the BPNSFS demonstrated a 3-factor structure,explaining a total variance of 60.99％and 60.31％,respectively.The 3-factor model exhibited good fit indices(x2/df=1.85,2.47;RMSEA=0.06,0.08;CFI=0.95,0.94;TLI=0.94,0.92;SRMR=0.04,0.05).Scores on both subscales and their dimensions were significantly correlated with DASS-21 and SWLS scores(|r|=0.16-0.57,Ps＜0.001).The Cronbach α coefficients for the 2 subscales were 0.87 and 0.89,with Cronbach α values for each dimension ranging from 0.73 to 0.81.The test-retest reliabilities(ICC)for the 2 sub-scales were 0.84 and 0.80,with ICC values for each dimension ranging from 0.65 to 0.83.Conclusion:The validi-ty and reliability of the Chinese version of the Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Frustration Scale demon-strate good measurement properties in assessing the adult population.

AIM:To investigate the potential effect of Dabuyuan Jian(DBYJ)on peroxisome proliferator-acti-vated receptor γ(PPARγ)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway and related inflammatory proteins in mice with mild cognitive impairment(MCI),and to explore the mechanism of DBYJ in improving the learning and memory ability of MCI mice.METHODS:Forty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into 5 groups,including negative control(NC)group,D-galactose(D-Gal)group,D-Gal+DBYJ group,D-Gal+GW9662(PPARγ inhibitor)group and D-Gal+GW9662+DBYJ group,with 8 mice each.The mice in NC group were subcutaneously injected with 0.9%saline solution on the back of the neck for 8 weeks,while those in the remaining 4 groups were subcutaneously injected with D-Gal(100 mg·kg-1·d-1)on the back of the neck for 8 weeks to establish the MCI model.From week 5 to week 8,the mice in D-Gal+GW9662 and D-Gal+DBYJ+GW9662 groups were intraperitoneally injected with GW9662(1 mg·kg-1·d-1).From week 5,the mice in D-Gal+DBYJ and D-Gal+DBYJ+GW9662 groups were treated with DBYJ(13.2 g/kg)by gavage,while those in the re-maining 3 groups were administered an equal volume of purified water for 4 weeks.The Morris water maze(including posi-tioning navigation experiment and space exploration experiment)was used to assess the learning and memory ability of the mice.The structural integrity of the hippocampus of the mice was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.Nissl staining was used to evaluate damage to hippocampal neurons in mice,and Western blot was applied to detect the protein levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),PPARγ,P65 and phosphorylated P65(p-P65)in the hippocampus of the mice.RESULTS:Compared with NC group,the escape latency of the mice in D-Gal+D-Gal and D-Gal+GW9662 groups significantly increased(P＜0.01),while the number of platform crossing and the duration of staying in the target quadrant within 60 s significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The number of neurons in the CA3 region remarkably decreased(P＜0.01),and pyramidal cell disarrangement and neuronal shrinkage were observed.The levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and p-P65 were up-regulated,while the expression of PPARγ was down-regulated(P＜0.05).Compared with D-Gal group,the escape latency of the mice in D-Gal+DBYJ group significantly decreased(P＜0.01),while the number of plat-form crossing and the duration of staying in the target quadrant within 60 s remarkably increased(P＜0.01).The number of neurons in the CA3 region increased(P＜0.01),the pyramidal cells were more neatly arranged,and the cytoarchitec-ture was intact.The levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and p-P65 were down-regulated,while the expression of PPARγ was up-regu-lated(P＜0.05).Compared with D-Gal+GW9662 group,significantly decreased escape latency was observed in D-Gal+DBYJ+GW9662 group(P＜0.01),and the number of platform crossing and the duration of staying in the target quadrant within 60 s remarkably increased(P＜0.05).The number of neurons in the CA3 region increased(P＜0.01),the pyrami-dal cells were arranged more neatly,and the cytoarchitecture was relatively intact.The levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and p-P65 were down-regulated,while the expression of PPARγ was up-regulated(P＜0.05).The effects shown in D-Gal+DBYJ+GW9662 group were inferior to those in D-Gal+DBYJ group,indicating that the therapeutic effect of DBYJ was inhibited after the addition of GW9662.CONCLUSION:Dabuyuan Jian improves the learning and memory ability of MCI mice,and the mechanism may be related to the expression of key proteins in the PPARγ/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective:To study and establish the quality standard of Polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate(HS15),a phar-maceutical excipient,and systematically evaluate its functionality-related characteristics and safety.HS15 was applied to the preparation of docetaxel(DTX)injection to further investigate the safety and pharmacokinetic char-acteristics of the injection in vitro and in vivo.Methods:Based on the general USP-NF2024,EP11.0 and the fourth general rules of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition,the quality standards of HS15 were studied.Combined with the functional properties of surfactants,the critical micelle concentration of HS15 was investigated,and its safety was investigated by hemolysis test and vascular irritation test in vitro.HS15 was further applied to the preparation of DTX injection,and the safety and efficacy of the preparation were comprehensively evaluated by in vitro cytotoxicity test and in vivo pharmacokinetic study.Results:According to the experimental results and the pharmacopoeia of various countries,the quality standard of HS15 was preliminarily formulated.When the concen-tration of HS15 was 1 mg·mL-1,the hemolysis rate was about0.2%,the vascular irritation was small,and the DTX injection was safe in vitro and in vivo.The pharmacokinetic behavior was in line with expectations.Conclusion:This study successfully established the quality standard of HS15,and its functional correlation index research and safety evaluation strategy can provide reference for the quality control of similar excipients.The appli-cation of HS15 in the preparation of DTX injection provides a theoretical and experimental basis for its application in the development of insoluble antitumor drug injection.
