Objective:To explore the optimal index of rotational displacement of femoral neck fractures by modeling the axial rotational displacement of femoral neck fractures after reduction and based on X-ray projections.Methods:Six dry human femur specimens, comprising 2 males and 4 females, were utilized in the study. Design and manufacture a proximal femur ortholateral and oblique X-ray casting jigs and mounts. The femoral neck fracture was modeled on the femoral specimen, with Pauwells 30°, 50°, and 70° models (2 each) made according to Pauwells typing. The fractures were manually repositioned with residual anterior 20°, 40° and 60° axial rotational displacements. Each fracture model was projected at different angles (pedicled 40°, pedicled 20°, vertical 0°, cephalad 20°, and cephalad 40°), and the trabecular angle and Garden's alignment index of the model were measured to observe the imaging characteristics of the fracture line on the medial oblique and lateral oblique radiographs.Results:In the presence of a 20° and 40° anterior rotational displacement following reduction of a femoral neck fracture, the trabecular angle in the rotationally displaced group was not significantly different from that of the anatomically repositioned group in various projection positions. However, when a residual rotational displacement of 60° was present, the trabeculae appeared blurred at most projection angles in the Pauwells 30° and 50° models, failing to measure trabecular angles. In the Pauwells 70° fracture model, the trabecular angle in the rotational displacement group was significantly different from that in the anatomical reduction group. In anteroposterior radiographs, when the anterior rotation displacement was 60° in the Pauwells 70° group, Garden's contralateral index showed an unsatisfactory restoration (150°, 142°), whereas all rotationally displaced models in the Pauwells 30° and Pauwells 50° groups had a Garden's contralateral index of >155°, which achieved an acceptable restoration. In lateral radiographs, all rotational displacement models with Garden's alignment index>180° failed to achieve acceptable repositioning, and the larger the Pauwells angle the greater the Garden's alignment index at the same rotational displacement. In the internal oblique position with a bias towards the foot side, the image showed partial overlap between the femoral head and the shaft, making it difficult to assess the quality of the reduction. Conversely, when projected cephalad, the femoral neck appeared longer, particularly at a projection angle of 40° cephalad, allowing for clear observation of the fracture line and the anatomy of the proximal femur. The trabeculae were not well visualized in the external oblique position.Conclusion:There are limitations in applying the trabecular angle to assess the axial rotational displacement of the femoral head after reduction of femoral neck fractures. The Pauwells 70° with residual rotational anterior displacement of 60° was the only way to detect axial rotational displacement of the femoral head on anteroposterior radiographs Garden's alignment index. For the determination of axial rotational displacement of the femoral head, the Garden's alignment index on lateral radiographs provides higher reliability.

Examining mechanisms involved in the mutual regulation between the muscular system and the skeletal system, elucidating the key issues responsible for loss of muscle and bone mass and strength, and thus halting the progression of these conditions are critical measures for reducing fractures caused by falls and subsequent disability and mortality.At present, most studies have treated the muscular system and the skeletal system separately, often ignoring the mutual regulation and connections between them.This article reviews the current research progress on the mechanisms of interaction between the two systems, aiming to provide a basis for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disuse-related diseases in the elderly population.

In order to understand nurses’ willingness to participate in humanistic nursing training and its influencing factors, and provide reference for managers to understand the current situation and improve nurses’ enthusiasm for humanistic nursing training. The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 23 707 nurses in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) through a self-designed questionnaire distributed on the Internet. The results showed that 98.1% of nurses thought that participating in humanistic nursing related training was helpful to clinical work, but only 88.6% of the respondents were willing to participate in humanistic nursing training. Thirty factors were analyzed from four aspects of basic characteristics of individuals, cognitive relevant experience and organizational atmosphere. Fifteen factors had significant significance in binary Logistic regression analysis (P<0.05). Among them, the factors that had a positive impact on training willingness were: marriage, education, professional title, post establishment, agree with humanistic care is the basic duty of a nurse praised, experience of being praised at work, family support, rapport with patients, passion of colleagues to participate in training, sustained high-quality care demonstration activities, join the humanistic care related organization, hospital reimbursement of training expenses (OR value of 6.559~1.113, P<0.001). The OR value of humanistic nursing as a nurse’s responsibility was 6.559 and the 95%CI was 5.585~7.702. The factors that hindered nurses from participating in training were: work occupied most of time and energy, think humanistic nursing is abstract and difficult to understand, think the mastered humanistic knowledge and skills meet the needs of work (OR value of 0.657~0.722, P<0.001). Through the analysis, it is considered that nurses have a extremely consistent high recognition of the significance of humanistic nursing training, but their willingness to receive training is affected by many factors such as individual experience, cognitive attitude and organizational atmosphere. In order to realize nurses’ high recognition of humanistic nursing training to high enthusiasm of behavior, the aspects of individual cognition and organizational atmosphere must be discussed.

Objective:To analyze the status quo, hotspots and fronts of emergency nursing training research at home and abroad in the past ten years, and to provide reference and ideas for the efficient development of emergency nursing training in China.Methods:CiteSpace 6.2.R2 software was used to visually analyze the Chinese and English literatures on emergency nursing training included in CNKI and Web of Science core databases from January 1, 2013 to June 1, 2023.Results:A total of 1 177 Chinese literatures and 1 163 English literatures were included. The number of foreign articles in this field increased year by year, while the number of domestic articles showed a downward trend since 2018. There were many stable core author groups and core institution groups in foreign countries, while there was less cooperation among domestic authors and institutions. The common research hotspots and frontiers at home and abroad focused on broadening the training audience of emergency nursing, innovating the training methods of emergency nursing, strengthening the evaluation of the effect of emergency nursing training, and paying attention to the training experience and needs of nurses. Foreign researches also focused on specialized nurses, interprofessional education and nurses′mental health, etc, and the research direction was diversified.Conclusions:The development stages of emergency nursing training researches at home and abroad are different, and the research hotspots are different. In the future, we should learn from foreign research, strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation, improve the depth and breadth of research, and strengthen the cooperation between authors, institutions and countries to promote the high-quality development of emergency nursing training research in China.

In this study, we compared the clinical characteristics (disease type, tumor stage), surgical safety (combined organ resection, operation duration, comorbidities), and treatment outcomes (postoperative complications, unplanned reoperation, and perioperative mortality) of these patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes.Results:The study cohort comprised 10,135 patients, of whom 74.7% (7,568) were 65–75 years old (excluding 75 years old), 23.6% (2,391) 75–85 years old (excluding 85 years old), and 1.7% (176) ≥85 years old. The type of cancer was colorectal in 63.4% (6,427 patients) and gastric in 36.6% (3,708); 62.0% (6,284/10,135)of the patients had stage II or III disease. The proportion of stage III and stage IV tumors was higher in patients aged over 85 years (47.4% [73/154) and 11.0% [17/154]), respectively, than in those aged 75–85 years (41.6% [854/2 051) and 8.2% [168/2 051]), respectively, and those aged 65–75 years (40.1% [2,576/6,431) and 10.9% [700/6,431]); these differences are statistically significant (χ 2=27.95, P<0.01). Comorbidity was present in 50.6% (5,128/10,135) of the whole study cohort, comprising 58.0% (102/176) of those aged over 85 years, this being significantly higher than the 56.3% (1,346/2,391) in those aged 75–85 years and 48.6% (3,678/7,568) of those aged 65–75 years. The main comorbidities were hypertension (37.3%), diabetes (16.4%), and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (14.0%). Minimally invasive surgery was performed on 36.9% (3,740/10,135) of the whole study cohort, the 38.4% in 65–75 years old patients being significantly higher than the 32.5% in those aged 75–85 years and the 29.0% in those aged over 85 years; these differences are statistically significant (χ 2=31.97, P<0.01). Preoperative neoadjuvant therapy was administered to 9.1% (924/10,135) of the whole study cohort, the proportion of patients receiving preoperative neoadjuvant therapy being significantly higher in those aged 65–75 years (11.1%) than in those aged 75–85 years (3.4%) and over 85 years (0.6%); these differences are statistically significant (χ 2=148.98, P<0.01). Combined organ resection was performed in 4.9% (496/10,135) of the whole study cohort, the proportion undergoing combined organ resection being significantly lower in those aged over 85 years (2.3%) than in those aged 65–75 years (5.3%) and 75–85 years (3.8%); these differences are statistically significant (χ 2=11.20, P<0.01). The mean operating time was (182.2±76.8) minutes, being significantly higher in those aged 65–75 years (186.6±78.3 minutes) than in those aged 75–85 years (169.4±71.3 minutes) and over 85 years (153.2±53.7 minutes); these differences are statistically significant ( F=46.85, P<0.01). The overall incidence of postoperative complications was 10.9% (802/7,384); the incidence did not differ significantly between the three groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of unplanned reoperation was 1.9% (193/10,135) and of death during hospitalization 0.3% (32/10,135). The perioperative mortality in the three groups was 1.1%, 0.5% and 0.2% in those aged over 85, 75–85, and 65–75 years, respectively. These differences are statistically significant (χ 2=9.71, P<0.01). Among the patients with postoperative complications, 15.0% (120/802) underwent unplanned reoperation, which had a perioperative mortality of 1.0% (8/802), these rates being significantly higher than those for unplanned reoperation (1.1%, 73/6,582) and perioperative mortality (0.4%, 24/6,582) in patients without complications (all P<0.01). The median length of hospital stay was 11 days in patients aged over 85 years; this is significantly longer than the 9 days in those aged 65–75 years and 10 days in those aged 75–85 years (H=37.00, P<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that tumor stage IV (OR=1.56, 95%CI: 1.24–1.96, P<0.01), comorbidities (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.08–1.47, P<0.01), open surgery (OR=1.33, 95%CI: 1.13–1.56, P<0.01), and operation time >180 minutes (OR=1.82, 95%CI:1.53–2.15, P<0.01) were risk factors for adverse outcomes. Conclusion:Older patients with gastrointestinal tumors who have comorbidities and stage IV disease and undergo open surgery with a longer operation time are at higher risk of adverse outcomes than patients without these characteristics.

Objective:To explore the latent classes of recurrence risk perception in ischemic stroke patients and their relationship with health behaviors.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 312 patients with ischemic stroke from two ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals of Guangzhou from December 2022 to June 2023 as the research subject. Before discharge, the General Information Questionnaire, Recurrence Risk Perception Scale for Patients with Stroke, and Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients were used for investigation. One month later, the Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients was used for follow-up. Latent class analysis and multiple Logistic regression analysis were used to explore the latent classes of recurrence risk perception and their influencing factors, while multiple linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between latent classes of recurrence risk perception and health behavior at 1-month follow-up.Results:A total of 312 questionnaires were distributed, and 302 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.79%. One month later, 261 study subjects completed follow-up. The recurrence risk perception in ischemic stroke patients were divided into four classes of overall low perceived accuracy, light consequence-heavy disease-moderate perceived accuracy, heavy self-care-light diet-upper moderate perceived accuracy, and overall high perceived accuracy. Age, educational level, place of residence and monthly average income were influencing factors for different latent classes ( P<0.05). Compared with patients with overall low perceived accuracy, patients with heavy self-care-light diet-upper moderate perceived accuracy, as well as those with overall high perceived accuracy, showed better health behavior after discharge, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Medical and nursing staff should provide targeted nursing interventions based on the common characteristics and individual differences of different classes of patients, helping patients correctly perceive the recurrence risk, improve health behavior, and prevent stroke recurrence.

Objective To investigate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)combined with tadalafil(TD)on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in patients with thin endometrium(TE).Methods Patients with TE in the department of reproductive medicine of the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao from May 2020 to March 2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into a experimental group(G-GSF combined with TD)and a control group(G-GSF)according to the different treatment regimens.The endometrial receptivity[endometrial thickness(EMT),endometrial volume(EMV),endometrial blood flow peak systolic flow rate/end diastolic flow rate(EBF-S/D),endometrial fractionation,endometrial blood flow fractionation,uterine artery pulsatility index(AUPI),uterine artery resistance index(AURI)and uterine arterial peak systolic flow rate/end diastolic flow rate(AU-S/D)]of the TE patients before and after treatment(the endometrial transition day)were compared;the endometrial receptivity on endometrial transformation day,post-treatment pregnancy outcomes[embryo implantation rate(EIR),clinical pregnancy rate(CPR),and early miscarriage rate(ABR)],and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment were compared between the two groups.Results A total of 60 patients were included in the study,with 30 in each group.Before treatment,the difference in endometrial receptivity between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Compared with the pre-treatment period,the EMT,EMV,the proportion of type A endometrium and the proportion of type Ⅱ+Ⅲ endometrial blood flow significantly increased in the two groups after treatment on the endometrial transformation day increased significantly(P＜0.05),while the EBF-S/D,AUPI,AURI and AU-S/D significantly decreased(P＜0.05).EMT and EMV were greater in the experimental group than in the control group(P＜0.05),whereas EBF-S/D,AUPI,AURI and AU-S/D were less than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the differences in the proportion of endometrium,the proportion of endometrial blood flow,EIR,CPR and ABR in the experimental group were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).No adverse reactions occurred during treatment in both groups.Conclusion G-CSF combined with TD can improve endometrial receptivity in TE patients with high safety,but there is no effect on pregnancy outcome.

Objective:To explore the values of ultrasound, pathology combined with inflammatory indicators in predicting high nodal burden (HNB) in patients with early breast cancer and to construct a nomogram to provide reference for individualized diagnosis and treatment.Methods:The ultrasonographic, pathological features and preoperative inflammatory indicators of 378 female patients diagnosed with early breast cancer confirmed by pathology in the South Hospital of the Sixth People′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2014 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. They were randomly divided into training set ( n=302) and test set ( n=76) in a ratio of 8∶2, and the baseline data of the two groups were compared. The optimal cutoff values of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) were obtained by ROC curve. In the training set, with axillary high lymph node load (≥3 metastatic lymph nodes) as the dependent variable, independent influencing factors of HNB were identified by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses, and the nomogram was established. The test set data were used to verify the model. The discrimination, calibration and clinical applicability of the model were assessed by the area under the ROC curve (AUC), C-index, the calibration curve, Brier score and the decision curve analysis, respectively. Results:There were no significant differences in all variables between the training set and the test set (all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that AUCs of NLR, PLR and LMR were 0.578, 0.547 and 0.516, respectively, and the optimal cut-off values were 2.184, 150 and 3.042, respectively. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, pathological type, histological grade, Ki-67, lymphovascular invasion, NLR, PLR, ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor, shape, long/short diameter of lymph node, cortical thickness, cortical and medullary boundary, lymph node hilum, lymph node blood flow pattern) were correlated with HNB of early breast cancer (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor >2 cm, effacement of lymph node hilum, non-lymphatic portal blood flow), lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67>14% and NLR>2.184 were independent risk factors for HNB in early breast cancer ( OR=7.258, 8.784, 6.120, 8.031, 3.394 and 3.767, respectively; all P<0.05) and were used to construct the nomogram model. The AUC of the training set was 0.914 (95% CI=0.878-0.949), C-index was 0.914; The AUC of the test set was 0.871 (95% CI=0.769-0.973), C-index was 0.871, indicating good discrimination. Calibration curve and Brier score were 0.090, indicating high calibration degree of the model. The clinical decision curve indicated good clinical benefit. Conclusions:The nomogram based on ultrasonic characteristics (maximum diameter of primary tumor, lymph node hilum, lymph node blood flow pattern), lymphovascular invasion, Ki-67 and NLR can effectively predict the risk of HNB in patients with early breast cancer, and provide a reference for precision diagnosis and treatment to avoid excessive or insufficient treatment.

Colorectal cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignant tumor with morbidity and mortality rising year by year. In recent years, the studies in and out of China have reported that metformin could inhibit the growth of colorectal cancer cells and improve the prognosis of patients by indirectly reducing the levels of insulin and glucose in the blood, or directly activating the AMP-activated protein kinase signaling pathways, promoting apoptosis of tumor cells, enhancing sensitivity to chemotherapy, inhibiting inflammatory responses, affecting the intestinal flora, and regulating the immune function, etc. This article reviews the current research status and controversies related to metformin against colorectal cancer, in an effort to provide new evidences for the treatment of colorectal cancer.
