Objective To investigate the effect of a three-tier delirium care management process in patients with acute stroke in neurology intensive care unit(NICU).Methods A total of 50 patients with acute stroke admitted to the NICU of the Fourth Hospital of Changsha from May to September 2021 were assigned to the control group.The patients in the control group received routine NICU nursing care to prevent delirium.Another 50 patients with acute stroke admitted to the NICU from December 2021 to April 2022 were assigned to the trial group.They were managed with the three-tier delirium nursing management process on top of the routine NICU nursing care for the control group.The incidence of ICU delirium(DICU),duration of DICU,length of stay in NICU and the incidence of delirium-related adverse events were compared between the two groups.The degree of delirium and cognitive function before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups as well.Results The trial group had significantly shorter duration of DICU and NICU stay(both P<0.05)and lower incidence rate of delirium-related adverse events(P<0.05)compared to the control group.After the intervention,the trial group showed significantly lower scores on the intensive care delirium screening checklist(ICDSC)and significantly higher scores of cognitive function compared to those of the control group(both P<0.05).Conclusion The three-tier delirium nursing management process can lower the occurrence of delirium in NICU patients with acute stroke,shorten the NICU stay,reduce the safety risk in nursing,and improve the cognitive function.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of nucleic acid matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry（MALDI-TOF MS）in sputum smear-negative patients with nontuberculous Mycobacterial（NTM）pulmonary disease.Methods:Clinical data of 123 patients suspected of NTM pulmonary disease admitted in Public Health Clinical Center Affiliated to Shandong University between July 2022 and November 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid（BALF）specimens were collected for MALDI-TOF MS assay and MGIT 960 culture. The diagnostic efficacy of MALDI-TOF MS for NTM pulmonary disease in patients with negative sputum smears for acid-fast bacilli was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic（ROC）curve. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 software and MedCalc statistical software.Results:Diagnosis of NTM pulmonary disease was finally confirmed in 66 out of the 123 suspected patients. It took 8 to 24 h for MALDI-TOF MS to identify NTM species and resistance. By MALDI-TOF MS，72 NTM strains were identified，with the Mycobacterium avium complex being the most prevalent（34 strains，47.22%），followed by the Mycobacterium abscessus complex（13 strains，18.06%）；resistance to macrolides was detected in 6 cases，while no resistance to aminoglycosides was found. It took 9 to 45 days for BALF MGIT 960 culture to identify NTM，and took 7 to 15 days for NTM typing and drug sensitivity testing. By BALF MGIT 960 culture，28 NTM strains were identified；and 1 case was found to be resistant to macrolides. Using confirmed diagnosis as the gold standard，MALDI-TOF MS demonstrated higher sensitivity，negative predictive value，and agreement rate compared to MGIT 960 culture（84.85% vs. 42.42%，81.13% vs. 56.32%，80.49% vs. 62.60%， χ2=25.667，8.998，9.664， P<0.05 or <0.01）. The area under ROC curve（AUC）for MALDI-TOF MS was significantly higher than that of MGIT 960 culture（0.801 vs. 0.642， Z=3.300， P=0.001）. Conclusion:Compared to MGIT 960 culture，MALDI-TOF MS exhibits superior diagnostic efficiency in detecting NTM pulmonary disease in patients with acid-fast bacilli smear-negative sputum，with advantage of rapidly identifying NTM species and resistance.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of MRI Radiomics score(Radscore)combined with clinicopatho-logical features in predicting postoperative progression-free survival(PFS)of patients with endometrial cancer(EC).Methods A total of 127 patients with EC were selected.The radiomic features of the lesions were extracted from T2 WI,diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)images.The features were screened by random forest model and Radscore was calcu-lated.Simultaneously,clinical and pathological characteristics of patients were collected and incorporated,and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors related to PFS.The MRI Radscore and clinicopathological features were mapped to the nomogram,and the performance of nomogram was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and calibration curve.Results Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that progesterone receptor(PR),human epididymis protein 4(HE4)and MRI Radscore were independent risk factors for predicting PFS in patients with EC(P＜0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the predicted PFS at 1,3 and 5 years after surgery were 0.91,0.804 and 0.776,respectively.Calibration curves showed that nomogram had a good fit in predicting PFS in patients with EC 1,3 and 5 years after surgery.Conclusion The nomogram con-structed based on multi-sequence MRI Radscore and clinicopathological features has favorable accuracy and stability in predicting postoperative PFS in individuals diagnosed with EC.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation(TEAS)in the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)after laparoscopic non-gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Databases such as PubMed,Cochrane library,Web of Science,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang,and Chinese biomedical database(CBM)were searched to find and screen ran-domized controlled trials(RCTs)of TEAS in the prevention and treatment of PONV after laparoscopic non-gastrointestinal surgery.The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to July 2023.Meta-a-nalysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results Twenty-two RCTs involving 3 538 patients were included,including 1 799 in the TEAS group and 1 739 in the control group.The results of meta-analysis showed that the total incidence of PONV in the TEAS group was significantly lower than that in the control group 0-24 hours after operation(RR=0.54,95％CI 0.44-0.68,P＜0.001),and the incidence of postoperative remedial antiemetic was significantly reduced(RR=0.54,95％CI 0.38-0.77,P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative acupoint stimulation-related adverse reactions between the two groups(RR=0.62,95％CI 0.15-2.51,P=0.500).Conclusion TEAS has good clinical efficacy and safety in the treatment of PONV after laparoscopic non-gastrointestinal surgery.

Objective:To test the validity and reliability of the Chinese version of the Cyberbullying Bystand-er Scale(CBS)in Chinese college students.Methods:Totally 722 college students were randomly divided into sample 1(n=356)and sample 2(n=366).Exploratory factor analysis was performed on sample 1,and confirma-tory factor analysis,criterion validity,and internal consistency reliability were performed on sample 2.The criterion validity was tested with the Short Form of Moral Disengagement Scale(MDS).Thirty-seven students of sample 2 were randomly selected and retested 2 week later.Results:The Chinese version of CBS contained 6 distinct factors(40 items),named passive outsider online,defender of the cybervictim online,reinforcer of the cyberbully online,passive face-to-face outsider,face to face defender of the cybervictim,face-to-face reinforcer of the cyberbully.The results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the fitting index of the six-factor modelis good(x2/df=2.83,CFI=0.90,TLI=0.89,RMSEA=0.07,SRMR=0.06).The scores of passive outsider online,reinforcer of the cyberbully online,passive face-to-face outsider and face-to-face reinforcer of the cyberbully were positively correla-ted with the moral disengagement(ICC=0.11-0.28,Ps＜0.05).The internal consistency reliabilities of the scale were from 0.89 to 0.96,the retest reliabilities(ICC)of the scale were between 0.75 to 0.89.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Cyberbullying Bystander Scale(CBS)shows good validity and reliability in Chinese college students.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between basic psychological needs satisfaction, family resilience and psychological resilience with self-neglect in older adults on maintenance hemodialysis, and to analyze the mediating effect of family resilience and psychological resilience between basic psychological needs satisfaction and self-neglect.Methods:The social demographic questionnaire, basic psychological needs satisfaction scale, the Connor-Davidson resilience scale 10-item, family resilience questionnaire and scale of the elderly self-neglect were applied to 623 older adults on maintenance hemodialysis randomized sampled from 50 hemodialysis centers in Hunan Province from July to December 2021. The data were statistically described and mediated pathway analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0 and AMOS 24.0.Results:The scores of basic psychological needs satisfaction, psychological resilience, family resilience and elderly self-neglect in older adults on maintenance hemodialysis were (4.95±1.01), (23.24±8.19), (78.60±12.49) and (7.99±5.60), respectively.Correlation analysis showed that self-neglect was statistically negatively correlated with basic psychological needs satisfaction, psychological resilience and family resilience ( r=-0.398, -0.419, -0.451, all P<0.001), basic psychological needs satisfaction was positively correlated with resilience and family resilience ( r=0.594, 0.534, both P<0.001), and psychological resilience was positively correlated with family resilience ( r=0.477, P<0.001).Analysis psychological of mediation effects showed that basic psychological needs satisfaction had a total effect of -0.462 on self-neglect. The direct effect was -0.113, accounting for 25% of the total effect. The mediating effects of family resilience and psychological resilience were -0.189 and -0.122 respectively, accounted for 41% and 26% of the total effect. The chain mediating effect was -0.038, with an effect size of 8%. Conclusion:Basic psychological needs satisfaction for older adults on maintenance hemodialysis can affect self-neglect either directly or indirectly through family resilience and psychological resilience, and self-neglect can be reduced in the future by increasing family resilience and psychological resilience through meeting the basic psychological needs of older adults on maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical phenotype and pathogenic variants in patients with Progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME).Methods:Clinical data and results of genetic testing for 11 patients diagnosed with PME at the Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from June 2017 to December 2022 were collected and analyzed.Results:All of the patients, including 4 males and 7 females, had predominant action myoclonus. Three patients had myoclonus as the initial manifestation, whilst eight were diagnosed through genetic testing, including three cases with NEU1 gene variants, two with EPM2A gene variants (1 was novel), one with MT- TK gene variant, one with ATN1 gene variant, and one with CSTB gene variant. No pathogenic variant was identified in the remaining three cases. Among the eight patients with a genetic diagnosis, three were diagnosed with sialidosis, two with Lafora disease, one with Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), one with Unverricht-Lundborg disease (ULD), and one with Myoclonic epilepsy with ragging red fibers (MERRF). Conclusion:Compared with pediatric patients, adult patients with PME represent a distinct subtype with slower progression and milder cognitive impairment.

The core components of the Hippo signaling pathway encompass upstream regulatory molecules,core kinase cascade complexes,and downstream transcriptional regulation complexes.This pathway modulates cellular behaviors by influencing the effector molecules of its core components and plays a pivotal role in immune regulation.Effector molecules,such as Yes-associated protein(YAP),transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif(TAZ),transcriptional enhanced associate domain transcriptional factor(TEAD),monopolar spindle-one binder(MOB1),large tumor suppressor(LATS),can stimulate fibroblast-like synovial cell migration and invasion in rheumatoid arthritis,regulate osteoarthritis disease progression,promote pathological new bone formation in ankylosing spondylitis,sustain submandibular gland development while delaying Sjogren's syndrome progression,mediate alpha-smooth muscle actin in systemic sclerosis,and refine the regulation of target genes associated with pulmonary fibrosis.This article provides an overview of the regulatory mechanisms involving Hippo signaling pathway-related effector molecules in the pathogenesis and progression of rheumatic immune system diseases,to serve as a reference for exploring novel therapeutic targets of rheumatic immune system diseases.

Persistent HBV infection alters the expression of receptors on the surface of innate and acquired immune cells, which may cause a variety of immune disorders and finally lead to immune escape and disease chronicity. Studies have shown that the upregulation of inhibitory receptors is the main cause of immune disorders in patients, and blocking inhibitory receptors can restore immune function to a certain extent. T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) is a new type of inhibitory receptor attracting much attention at present, and it is highly expressed in NK cells and T cells. It has been found that TIGIT plays an important role in chronic viral infection, and this article briefly reviews the research advances in the association between TIGIT and immune disorders in chronic HBV infection.
