Objective To analyze the influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and put forward targeted prevention suggestions. Methods The clinical data of children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection who were admitted to Chengdu Third People's Hospital from September 2022 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed . According to whether plastic bronchitis occurred, they were divided into plastic group (n=118) and non-plastic group (n=184), and the differences between the two groups were compared and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistics regression analysis equations were used to analyze the independent influencing factors of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Results Among the 302 children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection , 118 cases were diagnosed with plastic bronchitis. Analysis showed that the children’s age, duration of fever, hospital stay, pleural effusion rate, number of bronchoscopic lavage, allergy history, endoscopic mucosal erosion rate, WBC, NE%, LY%, CRP, LDH, PCT and D-D were the single factors influencing the occurrence of plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. Binary logistics regression analysis revealed that age (OR=2.137, P=0.033, 95% CI: 1.132-16.603), allergy history （OR=3.028, P=0.014, 95% CI: 1.261-864), NE% (OR=2.395, P=0.031, 95% CI: 1.087-5.274), CRP (OR=3.864, P=0.004, 95% CI: 1.563-3.864), PCT (OR=4.125, P=0.001, 95% CI: 1.793-3.864), and D-D (OR=3.920, P=0.002, 95% CI: 1.632-3.864) were independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection (P<0.05). Conclusion Age, allergy history, NE%, CRP, PCT and D-D are independent risk factors for plastic bronchitis in children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection . It is necessary to take clinical intervention measures to reduce the occurrence risk.

Objective: To determine the clinical efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection combined with warm acupuncture and moxibustion for treating patients with knee osteoarthritis and cold dampness obstruction syndrome. Methods: One hundred and twenty-eight patients with knee osteoarthritis and cold dampness obstruction syndrome who visited the Rehabilitation Department and Orthopedics Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to March 2024 and who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomly divided into an experimental (n=64) and control group (n=64) using the random number table method. The experimental group was treated with PRP injection combined with warm acupuncture and moxibustion, whereas the control group was treated with normal saline injection combined with warm acupuncture and moxibustion treatment. PRP and normal saline injections were administered once every two weeks, a total of four times. Patients were treated with warm acupuncture and moxibustion once a day, six times a week, for four consecutive weeks. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndrome, visual analog scale (VAS), and Lysholm scores were determined before treatment, at week 4 and week 8 of treatment, and week 16 of follow-up. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), osteoprotegerin (OPG), bone gla protein(BGP), and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) levels were compared between the two groups before and after 8 weeks of treatment. The clinical efficacy and safety indicators between the two groups were also compared. Results: There was no statistical difference in baseline data such as gender, age, disease duration, and body mass index between the two groups of patients. Compared with before treatment, both groups showed decreased WOMAC total and subscale, TCM syndrome total score and symptom scores, and VAS scores, and an increase in Lysholm scores at 4, 8, and 16 weeks after treatment. After treatment, serum IL-6, MMP-3, TNF-α, and COMP levels decreased, whereas serum OPG and BGP levels increased (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, patients in the experimental group showed decreased WOMAC total and subscale, TCM syndrome total score and symptom scores, and VAS scores, and an increase in Lysholm score at 4, 8, and 16 weeks after treatment. Compared with the control group, patients in the experimental group showed decreased serum IL-6, MMP-3, TNF-α, and COMP levels and an increase in serum OPG and BPG levels after treatment (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the experimental group was 91.94%, higher than that of the control group (81.97%; P<0.05). Conclusion PRP injection combined with warm acupuncture and moxibustion can improve various TCM symptoms, improve knee joint function and bone metabolism, and reduce inflammation in patients with knee osteoarthritis and cold dampness obstruction syndrome.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of modified Chaihu Shugansan on the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ（CaMKⅡ）/cAMP-response element binding protein （CREB） signaling pathway in the hippocampus and heart tissue of a rat model with myocardial ischemia and depression and explore the mechanism by which this formula prevents and treats coronary heart disease combined with depression. MethodsThe model of myocardial ischemia combined with depression was established by high-fat diet， intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol （ISO）， and chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS）. A total of 108 SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， high （23.4 g·kg^-1）， medium （11.7 g·kg^-1）， and low （5.85 g·kg^-1） dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan， CaMKⅡ inhibitor （KN93） group， and KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan， with 12 rats in each group. From the first day of modeling to the end of modeling， drugs were administered once a day. In the seventh and eighth weeks， the KN93 group and the KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan were intraperitoneally injected with KN93 three times weekly. At the end of the eighth week， behavioral tests including sucrose preference， open field， and elevated plus maze were conducted. Electrocardiogram （ECG） lead Ⅱ changes were observed in each group of rats， and hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to observe changes in heart tissue. Serum levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） were measured by using an enzyme-labeled instrument. Creatine kinase （CK） and creatine kinase-MB （CK-MB） were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometry， while serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1） was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB in hippocampal and heart tissue， and Western blot was performed to assess protein expression of CaMKⅡ， phosphorylated （p）-CaMKⅡ， CREB， and p-CREB. ResultsCompared to the normal group， the model group showed significant reductions in sucrose preference rate， total activity distance in the open field， number of entries into the center area of the open field， and percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze （P<0.01）. The ECG showed ST-segment elevation， and HE staining showed serious degeneration of myocardial fibers， disordered arrangement， and infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells. In addition， serum TC and LDL levels increased （P<0.01）， and HDL level decreased （P<0.01）. CK， CK-MB， LDH， and MCP-1 levels significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB and the protein expression of p-CaMKⅡ and p-CREB decreased in the hippocampal tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but those increased in the heart tissue （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， the high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan showed improvements in these abnormalities. The KN93 group had reduced sucrose preference， total activity distance in the open field， number of entries into the center area of the open field， and percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze （P<0.01）， as well as decreased serum CK， CK-MB， LDH， and MCP-1 levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. KN93 also reduced ST-segment elevation， alleviated the degeneration degree of myocardial fibrosis， and lowered inflammatory cell infiltration. The mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB and the protein expression of p-CaMKⅡ and p-CREB in both the hippocampal and heart tissue were reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan showed further improvements in these abnormalities compared to the KN93 group. ConclusionThe modified Chaihu Shugansan exerts antidepressant and myocardial protective effects in rats with myocardial ischemia and depression， possibly related to bidirectional regulation of the CaMKⅡ/CREB signaling pathway， with the high-dose modified Chaihu Shugansan showing the best effects.

surgery.Methods Eighty-four patients who underwent OLV during thoracoscopic lobectomy at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2021 to April 2022 were selected as research subjects,and the patients were divided into the observation group and control group by using a random number table,with 42 patients in each group.Patients in the observation group received ultrasound-guided SGB before anesthesia induction,while patients in the control group did not undergo puncture procedures.Patients in both groups received the same anesthesia induction and maintenance protocols.Hemodynamic,respiratory and arterial blood gas parameters were recorded at various time points:upon entering the operating room(T0),before OLV(T1),30 minutes after OLV initiation(T2),60 minutes after OLV initiation(T3),completion of surgery(T4),and 30 minutes after extubation(T5).Oxygenation index(OI),intrapulmonary shunt rate(Qs/Qt)and pH values of patients in the two groups were compared at these time points.Venous blood were collected from patients in both groups at T0,T3 and T5,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the levels of surfactant protein-A(SP-A),superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),interleukin-6(IL-6)and interleukin-10(IL-10).Postoperative SGB-related complications and pulmonary complications within 72 hours were recorded.Results The mean arterial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)in both groups were significantly lower at T,,T2,and T3 compared to T0(P＜0.05);the MAP and HR at T4 and T5 had no statis-tically significant difference compared to those at T0(P＞0.05);there was no significant difference in MAP and HR at other time points(P＞0.05).MAP in the observation group at T1,T2 and T3 was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05),and HR in the observation group at T2 and T3 was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05);there were no significant differences in MAP and HR between the two groups at other time points(P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in pulse oxygen saturation(SpO2)between the two groups at T0-T5(P＞0.05).At T2 and T3,peak airway pressure(Ppeak)and respiratory rate(RR)were significantly higher than those at T,and T4,and tidal volume(TV)was significantly lower than that at T,and T4 in both groups(P＜0.05).Ppeak and TV in the observation group at T2 and T3 were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05);there were no significant differences in Ppeak and TV between the two groups at T1 and T4(P＞0.05).RR and partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide(PetCO2)at T1-T4 showed no significant differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).The pH values at T0-T5 showed no significant differences between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The OI at T,had no significant difference compared to that at T0 in both groups(P＞0.05);OI at T2-T5 in both groups was significantly lower than that at T0(P＜0.05);OI in the observation group at T2-T5 was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Qs/Qt at T2-T5 was significantly higher than that at T0 and T1 in both groups(all P＜0.05);Qs/Qt in the observation group at T2-T5 was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).At T3 and T5,serum SP-A and IL-6 levels in both groups were significantly higher than those at T0(P＜0.05);serum SP-A and IL-6 levels in the observation group at T3 and T5 were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).At T3 and T5,serum IL-10 level in the control group were significantly lower than that at T0,while serum IL-10 level in the observation group were significantly higher than that at T0(P＜0.05).Serum IL-10 level in the observation group at T3 and T5 were higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).At T3 and T5,serum MDA level in the control group was significantly higher than that at T0(P＜0.05);serum MDA level in the observation group showed no significant difference compared to that at T0(P＞0.05);serum MDA level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).At T3 and T5,serum SOD level in the control group was significantly lower than that at T0,while serum SOD level in the observation group was significantly higher than that at T0(P＜0.05);serum SOD level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Four patients in the observation group experienced symptoms of unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve block,and one patient experienced brachial plexus nerve block,but all improved within 24 hours after surgery.No other adverse reactions were observed during follow-up.Within 72 hours postoperatively,one patient in the control group experienced hypoxemia.Conclusion Preoperative ultrasound-guided SGB has lung-protective effects on patients undergoing OLV in thoracoscopic surgery,which significantly improves OI,reduces intrapulmonary shunts,and inhibits inflammatory response and oxidative stress.

Objective To investigate the changes of blood lipid and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients and their relationship with insulin resistance (Homa-IR). Methods A total of 120 cases of T2DM newly diagnosed in Motuo County, Tibet from February to October 2022 were selected as the observation group. According to BMI, the patients were divided into diabetes normal weight group (46 cases), overweight group (43 cases) and obesity group (31 cases); 145 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The levels of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were detected in the study subjects, and Homa-IR and Homa-β indices were calculated. The height, weight, and abdominal circumference were measured. The differences in the levels of the above indicators between the observation group patients and the control group, as well as among various subgroups within the observation group were compared. The influencing factors of Homa-IR in obese T2DM patients were analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, a significant increase in BMI, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, HbA1c, FBG, FINS, TC, TG, LDL-C, UA, visceral fat area, and the levels of Home-IR and Home-β was found in the observation group (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in BMI, abdominal circumference, and the levels of FINS, Homa IR, Homa-β, and HbA1c in diabetes patients with different BMI (all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that TG levels in obese T2DM patients in the observation group were significantly correlated with HbA1c (r=0.396, P=0.027), Homa-IR (r=0.405, P=0.024), and Home-β (r=-0.401, P=0.025); LDL-C was significantly correlated with Homa-IR (r=0.411, P=0.022) and Homa-β (r=-0.412, P=0.021); HbA1c was significantly positively correlated with BMI (r=0.371, P=0.040). Conclusion Insulin resistance is closely related to TG, LDL-C, and BMI in obese T2DM patients from the Motuo ethnic minority of Tibet, suggesting that these factors may play a role in the occurrence of T2DM.

Nursing skill competitions are the wind vane for clinical nursing development, and the teaching concepts, proposition forms, and evaluation systems demonstrated by competitions have a strong reference value for nursing teaching. This article introduces the knowledge selection and integration from nursing-related courses according to the problems and objectives to be solved by drawing on the STEM education concept in comprehensive nursing practical training in the context of integration of competition and education. Realistic problem scenarios can be created with clinical cases as the carrier or main line, and then the Tanner clinical judgment model is used to guide students to conduct a comprehensive analysis of cases, thereby helping students to develop clinical thinking ability and comprehensive practical skills, so as to bridge the gap between the contents learned at school and nursing work in clinical practice and help nursing students adapt to clinical practice as soon as possible.

Objective To analyze the ability of micro-implant nails placed in different locations in the posterior re-gion to improve the hard and soft tissues of the labiodental region in patients with gummy smiles to provide a reference for clinicians.Methods This study was reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee,and informed consent was ob-tained from the patients.Thirty young female patients with anterior tooth protrusions and gummy smiles were included in the retrospective study;18 patients had micro-implant nails implanted between the premolars(group A),and 12 pa-tients had implant nails placed between the roots of the premolar and the molar and an intraoperatively placed rocking-chair archwire(group B).The preoperative and postoperative distances from the incisal end of the upper mesial incisors to the lower point of the upper lip(U1-Stms),the vertical distance from the incisal end of the upper mesial incisors to the palatal plane(U1-PP),the vertical distance from the point of the alveolar ridge to the palatal plane(Spr-PP),the dis-tance from the incisal end of the upper mesial incisors to the point of the alveolar margin(U1-Spr),and the vertical dis-tance from the point of the proximal middle buccal cusp of the maxillary first molar to the palatal plane of the maxillary first molar(U6-PP)were measured in the cephalometric lateral radiographs of the two groups;additionally,the amount of hard and soft tissues of the upper anterior region exposedduring smiling and the maximum amount of gingiva exposed during smiling were assessed from the smile photograph.Results After correction,the lip-dentition relationship im-proved significantly in both groups,with an average reduction of 2.6 mm in U1-Stms,2.4 mm in U1-PP,1.4 mm in Spr-PP,and 0.9 mm in U1-Spr in Group A.In group B,the U1-Stms was reduced by an average of 2.3 mm,the U1-PPs by an average of 1.6 mm,the Spr-PPs by 1.4 mm,and the U1-Spr by 0.2 mm.The difference between pre-and postoperative U6-PP in both groups was not significant(P＞0.05).Group A had greater ?U1-PP and ?U1-Spr changes than group B(P＜0.05).There was no difference between the two groups in terms of ?U1-Stms or ?Spr-PP(P＞0.05).The amount of soft and hard tissue exposed and maximum amount of gingiva exposed in the upper anterior region of the smile were reduced in 30 patients postoperatively,with group A having anaverage reduction of 70.19%of the preoperative amount of soft and hard tissue exposed in the upper anterior region and an average reduction of 24.12%of the preoperative max-imum amount of gingiva exposed,and group B having an average reduction of 76.12%of the preoperative amount of hard and soft tissue exposed in the upper anterior region and an average reduction of 31.88%of the preoperative maxi-mum gingiva exposed after the operation.The difference in the ratio between the two groups was not statistically sig-nificant(P＞0.05).Conclusion For patients with proptosis and gummy smiles,placing micro-implant nails between the roots of maxillary premolars can effectively lead to retraction and intrusion of anterior teeth to improve the lip-denti-tion relationship and improve gummy smile,and placing micro-implant nails between the roots of the maxillary second premolar and the first molar together with the use of rocking chair arches can also achieve a good therapeutic effect.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of menopause-related symptoms and cognition status of menopausal hormone therapy(MHT)among menopausal women.Methods A total of 619 menopausal women with menopause-related symptoms who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University were selected as the study subjects.Data were collected by questionnaire to analyze the characteristics of menopause-related symptoms,and the menopausal women's cognitive status of MHT and therapeutic effects were explored.Results Among 371 perimenopausal women,the menopause-related symptoms with the top three rates were fatigue(69.81％),insomnia(66.85％),and hot flush-sweating(58.22％).Among 248 postmenopausal women,the menopause-related symptoms with the top three rates were hot flashes and sweating(64.11％),bone and joint pain(60.89％),and fatigue(56.85％).The incidence of insomnia and fatigue in postmenopausal women was significantly lower than that in perimenopausal women(P＜0.01),while the incidence of bone and arthralgia,urinary system infection,vaginal dryness and painful intercourse was significantly higher than that in perimenopausal women(P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in Kupperman score between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women(P＞0.05),but score degree distribution differed significantly(P＜0.05).Perimenopausal women had the highest proportion of mild score while postmenopausal women had the highest proportion of moderate score.There were significant differences in Kupperman score among postmenopausal women with different menopause ages,menopause years and menopause mode(P＜0.05).The earlier menopause age and shorter menopause years,the higher Kupperman score was;the Kupperman score was significantly higher in surgical menopause than in natural menopause(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age of 45-54 years old,retirement or unemployment,spouse's disease or death,abnormal sexual life,and high education level were the risk factors for the occurrence of menopausal symptoms(P＜0.05);high family income and＞3 times/week exercise were the protective factors for the occurrence of menopausal symptoms(P＜0.05).The Internet was the way that accounted for the highest proportion of menopausal women's understanding of MHT(39.92％),and the tumor accounted for the highest proportion of menopausal women's concern about MHT(33.67％).There were 465 menopausal women without MHT contraindications(89.77％)who used MHT under the guidance of professional doctors,and their symptoms improved significantly after treatment(P＜0.05).Conclusion Menopausal women have obvious menopause-related symptoms,and the earlier the age,the shorter the menopause years and the more severe symptoms in the surgical menopause.Therefore,it is necessary to pay attention to the impact of menopause on the health of menopausal women and increase the use rate of MHT to improve the quality of life of menopausal women.

Objective To clarify the high-touch surface in oral diagnosis and treatment procedures,provide basis and guidance for cleaning and disinfection.Methods The direct observation method was used to investigate the tou-ch time and frequency of environmental surfaces in 7 outpatient departments of a tertiary stomatology hospitals in Beijing.The average touch frequency,95％confidence interval and cumulative touch rate were calculated.Results In oral diagnosis and treatment procedures,the average touch frequency of the environmental surface was 26.75 times per procedure,with the highest in endodontics(46.25 times per procedure)and the lowest in the oral mucosal specialty(10.19 times per procedure).The high-touch surface consisted of the shadowless lamp handle,manipula-tion panel and handle on dental unit(doctor's side),computer keyboard and mouse,handle and line front end of three way syringe,as well as dental high speed handpiece and line front end,with average touch frequencies of 3.99,3.85,2.65,1.86,and 1.40 times per procedure.The high-touch surface in all stomatology specialties in-cluded the manipulation panel and handle on dental unit(doctor's side),75％of specialties included computer key-board and mouse,and the shadowless lamp handle has the highest touch frequency in 50％of specialties.The ave-rage touch frequency of the environmental surface was highest(113.50 times per procedure)during crown prepara-tion procedure,and the lowest(8.50 times per procedure)during the orthodontic consultations.Conclusion The high-touch surface of different dental specialties and different diagnosis and treatment procedures are different.Me-dical institutions should take corresponding cleaning,disinfection and management measures according to the actual situation of high-touch surface in stomatology departments,so as to effectively improve the quality of environmental cleaning and disinfection.
