Objective To assess the effect of early nutritional intervention on the patients with respiratory diseases at nutritional risk. Methods A total of 130 patients with respiratory disease who were hospitalized in Shanghai Fifth People’s Hospital, Fudan University between May 2023 and December 2024 and had a nutritional risk screening 2002 score ≥3 points. Based on the initiation time of nutritional intervention, patients were divided into an early group (≤5 days, n＝65) and a late group (＞5 days, n＝65). Results In the early group, prealbumin (P-ALB) and retinol-binding protein (RBP) levels were significantly higher (P＜0.01), C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) levels were significantly lower after intervention (P＜0.05). Compared with the late group, the hospital costs were lower and hospital stays were shorter in the early group (P＜0.001). Spearman analysis showed ALB, P-ALB, and total protein (TP) were negatively correlated with hospital costs (r＝－0.37, －0.20, and－0.22, P＜0.05). RBP, ALB, P-ALB, and lymphocyte count (LYM) were negatively correlated with CRP (r＝－0.30, －0.26, －0.37, －0.18, P＜0.01), RBP, ALB, P-ALB, hemoglobin (HB), and TP were negatively correlated with PCT (r＝－0.23,－0.36, －0.40, －0.30, －0.19, P＜0.05). Conclusions For patients with respiratory diseases, early nutritional assessment should be underwent, and for patients with nutritional risk screening 2002 score ≥3 points, early nutritional intervention could improve the nutritional status and alleviate inflammatory response, promote recovery, shorten the hospital stays.

Objective To analyze and compare the clinical manifestations and imaging features of children with secondary massive cerebral infarction after acute subdural hematoma(ASDH),and to evaluate its potential risk factors in order to provide evidence for the prevention,early diagnosis and early treatment of secondary massive cerebral infarction after ASDH.Methods The clinical data of children with ASDH aged 4～12 years were retrospectively studied.All the children received routine operation.The diagnosis of post-traumatic secondary massive cerebral infarction(MCI)was based on low-density areas on CT images and clinical signs.Clinical and radiographic findings related to patient outcomes were reviewed and statistically compared.Univariate and multifactor Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the MCI after operation to obtain the factors affecting MCI.Results A total of 67 cases were included in the study,with 32 cases included in the MCI group and 35 cases included in the non-MCI group.There were significant differences between MCI and non-MCI groups in age(t=2.016,P= 0.048),body mass(t=2.389,P=0.020),multiple injuries(χ2=11.121,P=0.001),GCS(Z=-4.730,P＜0.001),hematoma volume(χ2=12.890,P=0.002),MLS(χ2=12.261,P=0.002)and perioperative shock(χ2= 14.417,P＜0.001).GCS(OR=0.322,P=0.002),perioperative shock(OR=10.992,P=0.007),multiple injury(OR= 6.547,P=0.046)and MLS score(OR= 46.974,P=0.025)were major risk factors for MCI in children with ASDH.Conclusion Perioperative shock,multiple injuries,low GCS and MLS greater than 10mm are risk factors for MCI.The incidence of MCI is significantly increased in children with multiple risk factors.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of action of epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) in inhibiting laryngeal cancer cells. METHODS The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) in laryngeal cancer cell lines AMC-HN-8, TU686 and TU212 was detected by Western blotting, and the inhibitory effects of cetuximab and EGCG on three laryngeal cancer cells were detected by CCK-8 assay. A lentiviral vector containing EGFR promoter and Luc reporter gene was constructed to generate a TU686-EGFR-Luc cell line that could steadily express Luc activity. Luciferase assay was performed to evaluate the effect of EGCG on the transcription activity of EGFR promoter. Cell cycle and apoptosis of EGCG-treated laryngeal carcinoma cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, and changes of the levels of EGFR and downstream ERK1/2, cell cycle-associated proteins P53 and P27, apoptosis-associated proteins BCL2 and PART, and autophagy marker LC3A/B were further examined. RESULTS The laryngeal carcinoma cell lines were insensitive to cetuximab but could be effectively suppressed by EGCG. EGCG effectively inhibited the transcription activity of EGFR promoter. Treatment of TU686 cells at sub-IC50 dose EGCG resulted in significant cell cycle arrest at S phase with partial apoptosis. Significant inhibition of expression and activation of EGFR and downstream signaling pathway were observed. CONCLUSION EGCG can effectively downregulate EGFR and suppress laryngeal carcinoma cells, further investigation on in vivo effect and mechanisms are anticipated.

Objective:To explore the current status and correlation of occupational stress and burnout among pediatric nurses.Methods:From April 2023 to January 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 150 pediatric nurses from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, East Campus of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and Taizhou Enze Medical Center as research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, and Nurse Job Stressors Scale.Results:A total of 150 nurses were surveyed, and 149 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 99.33%. Pediatric nurses had high scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions in occupational burnout. The job stressors for pediatric nurses were ranked in order of their scores in each dimension, including workload and time management, work environment and resources, nursing profession and work, management and interpersonal relationships, and patient nursing. There were correlations between occupational burnout and occupational stress among pediatric nurses in multiple dimensions (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pediatric nurses have a relatively high level of occupational burnout and often face significant occupational stress. In the development of the healthcare system, attention should be paid to the occupational burnout and stress of pediatric nurses. The physical and mental health of pediatric nursing staff can be promoted and work efficiency can be improved by reducing the overloaded work of pediatric nurses, optimizing personnel allocation, and improving social support.

Objective:To explore a definition of healthy longevity in the Chinese population based on the Delphi method.Methods:Through a comprehensive literature review and expert consultation, the dimensions in the definition of healthy longevity were identified, and a preliminary list of questions was created. Experts in clinical medicine, public health, basic research, and the elderly care service industry, who had been working in the field of geriatric health for at least 5 years, were invited to participate in the Delphi survey from August to December 2022. The survey questionnaires were administered via email in two rounds, and experts were asked to select the optimal options from the provided questions. The active coefficients were expressed by the response rate, and a consensus was reached when the largest number of experts agreed for single-choice questions and more than 70% agreed for multiple-choice questions.Results:In the two rounds, the active coefficients were 96.00% (24/25) and 79.17% (19/24), respectively, and a consensus was finally reached on nine items, including age, physical health, common metabolic indicators, mental health, cognitive function, functional ability, social activity, self-rated health, and subjective well-being. Following discussions among the research team and experts, a final definition of healthy longevity was determined. Healthy longevity could refer to a state of good physical, psychological, cognitive function and social adaptation, as well as subjective well-being, in individuals aged 90 and above. Specifically, individuals with healthy longevity should be free from diseases associated with high disability rates and mortality, such as stroke, cancer, and Parkinson′s disease. They should also maintain reasonable levels of common non-communicable disease indicators, such as blood pressure and blood glucose, and exhibit favorable mental health and cognitive function using validated measurement tools. In addition, individuals with healthy longevity should engage in social interactions with friends and relatives, care for family members, and go out to do things. Meanwhile, with the ability to complete the visual and hearing functions of daily life and communication, and the ability to complete basic activities such as walking, eating, bathing, toileting, dressing, continence of urination, and bowel movement independently, they could rate themselves to be in good health and experience a relatively high level of life satisfaction.Conclusion:A definition of healthy longevity in the Chinese population is established through the two-round Delphi consultation.

Objective:To explore the implementation strategies for promoting healthy longevity among the elderly population in China based on the Delphi method.Methods:Through literature review and expert discussion, a framework for implementation strategies to achieve healthy longevity among the elderly was determined, and a preliminary checklist of implementation strategies was developed. The Delphi method was employed from August to December 2022, inviting 25 experts from various disciplines such as clinical medicine, public health, basic research, and the elderly care services industry. Experts were sent consultation questionnaires via email to assess the importance, feasibility, judgment basis and familiarity of each implementation strategy. Active coefficient, authority coefficient, and harmony coefficient were analyzed to ultimately determine the important and feasible implementation strategies for healthy longevity that were suitable for the Chinese elderly population.Results:The expert active coefficients of the two rounds were 96.00% (24/25) and 79.17% (19/24). The authority coefficients were (0.76±0.19) and (0.77±0.17). The average scores of importance were (4.32±0.84) and (4.36±0.82), and the corresponding scores of feasibility were (3.72±1.04) and (3.80±0.92). The harmony coefficients for the importance score were 0.269 ( χ 2=594.084, P<0.001) and 0.159 ( χ 2=193.624, P<0.001). The harmony coefficients for feasibility scores were 0.205 ( χ 2=452.008, P<0.001) and 0.167 ( χ 2=202.878, P<0.001). The final eight implementation strategies were identified after two rounds of consultation. Conclusion:Through two rounds of Delphi consultations, eight important and feasible implementation strategies for promoting healthy longevity that are suitable for the Chinese context have been proposed.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of hypomethylating agents (HMA) in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:A total of 409 MDS patients from 45 hospitals in Zhejiang province who received at least four consecutive cycles of HMA monotherapy as initial therapy were enrolled to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HMA. Mann-Whitney U or Chi-square tests were used to compare the differences in the clinical data. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and survival. Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. Results:Patients received HMA treatment for a median of 6 cycles (range, 4-25 cycles) . The complete remission (CR) rate was 33.98% and the overall response rate (ORR) was 77.02%. Multivariate analysis revealed that complex karyotype ( P=0.02, OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.18-0.84) was an independent favorable factor for CR rate. TP53 mutation ( P=0.02, OR=0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.77) was a predictive factor for a higher ORR. The median OS for the HMA-treated patients was 25.67 (95% CI 21.14-30.19) months. HMA response ( P=0.036, HR=0.47, 95% CI 0.23-0.95) was an independent favorable prognostic factor, whereas complex karyotype ( P=0.024, HR=2.14, 95% CI 1.10-4.15) , leukemia transformation ( P<0.001, HR=2.839, 95% CI 1.64-4.92) , and TP53 mutation ( P=0.012, HR=2.19, 95% CI 1.19-4.07) were independent adverse prognostic factors. There was no significant difference in efficacy and survival between the reduced and standard doses of HMA. The CR rate and ORR of MDS patients treated with decitabine and azacitidine were not significantly different. The median OS of patients treated with decitabine was longer compared with that of patients treated with azacitidine (29.53 months vs 20.17 months, P=0.007) . The incidence of bone marrow suppression and pneumonia in the decitabine group was higher compared with that in the azacitidine group. Conclusion:Continuous and regular use of appropriate doses of hypomethylating agents may benefit MDS patients to the greatest extent if it is tolerated.

The identification of tumor-related microRNAs(miRNAs)exhibits excellent promise for the early diag-nosis of cancer and other bioanalytical applications.Therefore,we developed a sensitive and efficient biosensor using polyadenine(polyA)-mediated fluorescent spherical nucleic acid(FSNA)for miRNA analysis based on strand displacement reactions on gold nanoparticle(AuNP)surfaces and electrokinetic signal amplification(ESA)on a microfluidic chip.In this FSNA,polyA-DNA biosensor was anchored on AuNP surfaces via intrinsic affinity between adenine and Au.The upright conformational polyA-DNA recognition block hybridized with 6-carboxyfluorescein-labeled reporter-DNA,resulting in fluores-cence quenching of FSNA probes induced by AuNP-based resonance energy transfer.Reporter DNA was replaced in the presence of target miRNA,leading to the recovery of reporter-DNA fluorescence.Sub-sequently,reporter-DNAs were accumulated and detected in the front of with Nafion membrane in the microchannel by ESA.Our method showed high selectivity and sensitivity with a limit of detection of 1.3 pM.This method could also be used to detect miRNA-21 in human serum and urine samples,with re-coveries of 104.0％-113.3％and 104.9％-108.0％,respectively.Furthermore,we constructed a chip with three parallel channels for the simultaneous detection of multiple tumor-related miRNAs(miRNA-21,miRNA-141,and miRNA-375),which increased the detection efficiency.Our universal method can be applied to other DNA/RNA analyses by altering recognition sequences.
