ObjectiveTo explore the syndrome elements and evolving patterns of patients with hepatitis B virus-related acute on chronic liver failure （HBV-ACLF） at different stages. MethodsClinical information of 1,058 hospitalized HBV-ACLF patients， including 618 in the early stage， 355 in the middle stage， and 85 in the late stage， were collected from 18 clinical centers across 12 regions nationwide from January 1， 2012 to February 28， 2015. The “Hepatitis B-related Chronic and Acute Liver Failure Chinese Medicine Clinical Questionnaire” were designed to investigate the basic information of the patients， like the four diagnostic information （including symptoms， tongue， pulse） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， and to count the frequency of the appearance of the four diagnostic information. Factor analysis and cluster analysis were employed to determine and statistically analyze the syndrome elements and patterns of HBV-ACLF patients at different stages. ResultsThere were 76 four diagnostic information from 1058 HBV-ACLF patients， and 53 four diagnostic information with a frequency of occurrence ≥ 5% were used as factor analysis entries， including 36 symptom information， 12 tongue information， and 5 pulse information. Four types of TCM patterns were identified in HBV-ACLF， which were liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern， qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern， liver-kidney yin deficiency pattern， and spleen-kidney yang-deficiency pattern. In the early stage， heat （39.4%， 359/912） and dampness （27.5%， 251/912） were most common， and the pattern of the disease was dominated by liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern （74.6%， 461/618）； in the middle stage， dampness （30.2%， 187/619） and blood stasis （20.7%， 128/619） were most common， and the patterns of the disease were dominated by liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern （53.2%， 189/355）， and qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern （27.6%， 98/355）； and in the late stage， the pattern of the disease was dominated by qi deficiency （26.3%， 40/152） and yin deficiency （20.4%， 31/152）， and the patterns were dominated by qi deficiency and blood stasis pattern （36.5%， 31/85）， and liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern （25.9%， 22/85）. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the distribution of syndrome elements and patterns at different stages of HBV-ACLF， presenting an overall trend of evolving patterns as "from excess to deficiency， transforming from excess to deficiency"， which is damp-heat → blood stasis → qi-blood yin-yang deficiency.

Objective To investigate the release kinetics of Zn2+ from nZCP-loaded polylactic acid/hydroxyapatite(PLA/HA)composite scaffold(PHZ)and determine the optimal nZCP content in the scaffold.Methods The particle size of nZCP was measured by DLS measurement,and PXRD,FTIR,and SEM were used to characterize the scaffolds and nZCP distribution;EDS was used to analyze element composition of the scaffold.Compression strength of the scaffold was determined,and ion release profile was investigated using ICP-MS.The biocompatibility of the materials was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and dead/alive staining of rat bone marrow stem cells(BMSCs)incubated with their aqueous extracts.ALP staining,alizarin red staining,RT-qPCR,and Western blotting were used to assess the osteogenic potential of the treated cells.In a rat model of bilateral ovariectomy(OVX)with femoral condylar bone defect,PHZ-1,PHZ-2,PHZ-3 or PLA/HA scaffold was implanted into the bone defect,and bone repair was observed using a microCT scanner and histological staining at 6 and 12 weeks.Results DLS,PXRD,SEM,FTIR,and EDS confirmed successful synthesis of 10-nm ZCP and efficient nZCP loading in the scaffold.PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 had significantly greater compression strength than PLA/HA.ICP-MS showed that Zn2+ release from PHZ-1,PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 were all optimal for promoting osteogenesis.In rat BMSCs,all the 4 scaffolds showed good biocompatibility,and their extracts enhanced ALP activity and extracellular matrix mineralization and promoted expressions of ALP,RUNX2,and OCN in the cells.In the rat models,nZCP in the implants improved bone graft integration at 6 weeks,and PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 more effectively induced new bone formation at 12 weeks(P<0.05).Conclusion PHZ scaffold is capable of stable Zn2+ release to promote osteoporotic bone defect healing,and PHZ-2 and PHZ-3 scaffolds with nZCP mass fraction of 4.5%-7.5%have better osteogenic activity.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of postoperative complications in Chinese patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, and to evaluate the risk factors for postoperative complications.Methods:This was a national, multicenter, prospective, registry-based, cohort study of data obtained from the database of the Prevalence of Abdominal Complications After Gastro- enterological Surgery (PACAGE) study sponsored by the China Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgical Union. The PACAGE database prospectively collected general demographic characteristics, protocols for perioperative treatment, and variables associated with postoperative complications in patients treated for gastric or colorectal cancer in 20 medical centers from December 2018 to December 2020. The patients were grouped according to the presence or absence of postoperative complications. Postoperative complications were categorized and graded in accordance with the expert consensus on postoperative complications in gastrointestinal oncology surgery and Clavien-Dindo grading criteria. The incidence of postoperative complications of different grades are presented as bar charts. Independent risk factors for occurrence of postoperative complications were identified by multifactorial unconditional logistic regression.Results:The study cohort comprised 3926 patients with gastric or colorectal cancer, 657 (16.7%) of whom had a total of 876 postoperative complications. Serious complications (Grade III and above) occurred in 4.0% of patients (156/3926). The rate of Grade V complications was 0.2% (7/3926). The cohort included 2271 patients with gastric cancer with a postoperative complication rate of 18.1% (412/2271) and serious complication rate of 4.7% (106/2271); and 1655 with colorectal cancer, with a postoperative complication rate of 14.8% (245/1655) and serious complication rate of 3.0% (50/1655). The incidences of anastomotic leakage in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer were 3.3% (74/2271) and 3.4% (56/1655), respectively. Abdominal infection was the most frequently occurring complication, accounting for 28.7% (164/572) and 39.5% (120/304) of postoperative complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancer, respectively. The most frequently occurring grade of postoperative complication was Grade II, accounting for 65.4% (374/572) and 56.6% (172/304) of complications in patients with gastric and colorectal cancers, respectively. Multifactorial analysis identified (1) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the gastric cancer group: preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.54, 95%CI: 1.51-4.28, P<0.001), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.42, 95%CI:1.06-1.89, P=0.020), high American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores (ASA score 2 points:OR=1.60, 95% CI: 1.23-2.07, P<0.001, ASA score ≥3 points:OR=0.43, 95% CI: 0.25-0.73, P=0.002), operative time >180 minutes (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.42-2.31, P<0.001), intraoperative bleeding >50 mL (OR=1.29,95%CI: 1.01-1.63, P=0.038), and distal gastrectomy compared with total gastrectomy (OR=0.65,95%CI: 0.51-0.83, P<0.001); and (2) the following independent risk factors for postoperative complications in patients in the colorectal cancer group: female (OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80, P<0.001), preoperative comorbidities (OR=2.73, 95%CI: 1.25-5.99, P=0.030), neoadjuvant therapy (OR=1.83, 95%CI:1.23-2.72, P=0.008), laparoscopic surgery (OR=0.47, 95%CI: 0.30-0.72, P=0.022), and abdominoperineal resection compared with low anterior resection (OR=2.74, 95%CI: 1.71-4.41, P<0.001). Conclusion:Postoperative complications associated with various types of infection were the most frequent complications in patients with gastric or colorectal cancer. Although the risk factors for postoperative complications differed between patients with gastric cancer and those with colorectal cancer, the presence of preoperative comorbidities, administration of neoadjuvant therapy, and extent of surgical resection, were the commonest factors associated with postoperative complications in patients of both categories.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the real feelings and coping experiences of nursing students in geriatric nursing, so as to provide reference for nursing students to carry out geriatric nursing practice.Methods:Qualitative research on the geriatric nursing experience of nursing students was electronically searched in Chinese and English databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc. The search period was from database establishment to June 2023. The quality of the included literature was evaluated according to the quality evaluation criteria for qualitative research of the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center. The aggregation integration method was used to integrate literature results.Results:A total of 16 articles were included, and 41 results were extracted. The similar results were classified into eight categories and integrated into two integrated results, which were the challenges and obstacles faced by nursing students in the geriatric nursing process, as well as the experience of various complex emotions, and nursing students had a positive experience in the process of geriatric nursing, gaining personal growth and sublimation of values.Conclusions:Nursing educators should attach importance to the geriatric nursing experience of nursing students, pay attention to and guide their negative emotions and experiences, encourage nursing students to establish well interactive relationships with the elderly, and improve the comprehensive quality of geriatric nursing among nursing students through the design and implementation of emerging clinical teaching models.

Objective To explore the mediating effect of positive coping styles on the relationship between resilience and vicarious trauma in nurses in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods Nurses in ICU were recruited through convenience sampling and surveyed by the general information questionnaire, the Disaster Relief Vicarious Trauma Scale, the Resilience Scale, and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Results For the 242 nurses in ICU, the mean score of vicarious trauma was (85.02±19.54), the mean score of resilience was (65.47±16.37), and the mean scores of positive and negative coping styles were (25.10±6.52) and (13.65±5.29) respectively. Vicarious trauma was negatively correlated with resilience and positive coping styles (r=-0.49, -0.41, P < 0.01), while resilience was positively correlated with both positive and negative coping styles (r=0.62, 0.35, P < 0.01). Bootstrap test results showed that positive coping styles mediated 24.5% of the total effect between resilience and vicarious trauma. Conclusion Nurses in ICU have a high level of vicarious trauma, and their positive coping styles partially mediate the relationship between resilience and vicarious trauma. Clinical nursing managers should emphasize enhancing ICU nurses' resilience and positive coping abilities, implementing strategies to prevent vicarious trauma, and improving their physical and mental health.

Objective To explore the application effect of high-functioning group therapy model in female patients with depression.Methods A total of 80 female patients with depression who were hospitalized in the Department of Psychiatry,the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from April 2021 to April 2022 were selected as the research sub-jects.According to the treatment methods,the patients were divided into the observation group and the control group,with 40 patients in each group.The patients in the two groups were treated with routine anti-depressant drugs based on their condition;the patients in the control group received routine nursing interventions based on their condition;the patients in the observation group received high-function group therapy intervention on the basis of the control group;the patients in the two groups were in-tervened for 1 month.Before and one month after the intervention,the levels of depression and anxiety of patients in the two groups were evaluated by the Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)and the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA);the quality of life of patients in the two groups was evaluated by the World Health Organization's quality of life scale(WHOQOL-BREF),while the interpersonal relationships of patients in the two groups were evaluated by the interpersonal relationships comprehensive diagnostic scale.Results Before intervention,there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of HAMA,HAMD,WHOQOL-BREF and interpersonal relationship comprehensive diagnostic scale of patients between the two groups(P＞0.05).The HAMA and HAMD scores of patients in the two groups after one month of intervention were significantly lower than those before intervention(P＜0.05);after one month of intervention,the HAMA and HAMD scores of patients in the observa-tion group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The WHOQOL-BREF scores in the social,psychological,physiological and environmental domains of patients after one month of intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention in the two groups(P＜0.05);after one month of intervention,the WHOQOL-BREF scores in the social,psychological,physiological and environmental domains of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).The scores of interpersonal interaction,conversation,social interaction and hetero-sexual interaction and total scores of interpersonal relationship comprehensive diagnosis scale of patients one month of interven-tion were significantly lower than those before intervention in the two groups after(P＜0.05);after one month of intervention,the scores of interpersonal interaction,conversation,social interaction and heterosexual interaction and total scores of interper-sonal relationship comprehensive diagnosis scale of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared to conventional nursing interventions,the high-functioning group therapy model can significantly reduce the depression and anxiety of female depression patients,improve interpersonal communication skills and their quality of life.
