Objective To systematically evaluate toxicities of nifedipine in pregnant women with hypertension, and provide references for nifedipine’s clinical safety application. Methods Study was conducted with data from US food and drug administration adverse event reporting system（FARES） database from January 1, 2015, to March 31, 2021. Information component （IC） and reporting odds ratio（ROR）methods were applied for signal mining. Results Finally, a total of 539278 records of pregnant women with hypertension were selected for analysis, and 70 positive adverse drug event signals were detected. Premature delivery （IC₀₂₅=2.87，ROR₀₂₅=9.52）, pre-eclampsia （IC₀₂₅=1.82，ROR₀₂₅=3.82） and fetal growth restriction （IC₀₂₅=2.37，ROR₀₂₅=5.69）were positive adverse events with higher frequency. Polydactyly（IC₀₂₅=3.13， ROR₀₂₅=10.05）, fetal death（IC₀₂₅=2.93，ROR₀₂₅=8.57）and premature delivery（IC₀₂₅=2.87，ROR₀₂₅=9.52）were positive adverse events with higher intensity. Vascular resistance systemic increased, small for dates baby and fetal death corresponded to higher death rates. Conclusion Nifedipine-associated drug toxicities were detected in pregnant women with hypertension, and some adverse events with high frequency and high death rate were deserved further attention by medical staffs.

Objective: To investigate the effects of after school exercise service (referred to as the "after school ES") on physical health, so as to provide evidence for possible beneficial effect of after school ES. Methods: Students in the fourth grade of primary school were recruited from September 2021 to July 2022 in Changsha City and divided into the control group ( n =220) and the after school ES group ( n =220). The control group only participated in the regular physical education activities of the school. The after school ES group received after school ES for one academic year, 4 times a week, 40-50 minutes per time, for a total of 32 weeks. Body shape indicators such as height, weight and percentage of body fat, as well as physical fitness indicators such as 50 meter running, grip strength and progressive aerobic cardiovascular endurance run (PACER) were measured in September to October 2021 and June to July 2022, respectively. Independent sample t-test, Chi square test and two factors repeated measurement analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis of the data. Results: After one academic year, compared with the control group [(13.52±2.30)kg], muscle mass of primary school students in the after school ES group [(13.76±2.32)kg] significantly increased, while waist to hip ratio [(0.95±0.16)] and percentage of body fat [(20.17±7.43)%] significantly decreased compared to the control group [(1.01±0.21), (22.02±12.34)%]( F=330.70, 6.85, 4.33, P <0.05). The proportion of overweight and obesity in after school ES group decreased significantly from 19.5% to 12.3% ( χ 2=4.35, P <0.05). Compared with the control group, the scores of 50 meter running [(10.00±1.06, 10.21±0.83)s], 1 minute sit up [(33.25±8.24, 30.76±9.34)times], sitting and flexion [(14.53±7.50, 8.59±6.32)cm], 1 minute rope skipping [(125.01±30.50, 115.97±32.09)times], eyes closed and single legged standing [(30.00±34.72, 25.72±23.82)s], selective response time [(635.66±91.72, 652.79±120.42)ms] and VO 2max [(45.31± 1.02 , 43.67±0.85)mL/(kg〖 ·min)] in the after school ES group were significantly improved, with statistical significance ( F= 5.32 , 443.14, 97.23, 814.07, 36.49, 6.11, 396.91, P <0.05). Conclusions After school ES can improve body shape of primary school students, reduce the risk of overweight and obesity and enhance physical fitness. It is recommended that schools should appropriately increase after school ES to promote physical fitness of students.

Foot ulcer prevention plays a crucial role in reducing the amputation rate among diabetic patients. With regard to the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers, the 2023 guidelines of the International Working Group of Diabetic Foot(IWGDF) were different from the 2019 counterpart. The most notable change is the addition of high-level evidence to support recommendations, primarily derived from randomized controlled studies. The 2023 guidelines also advocate for local skin temperature measurement, participation in ankle exercise training, and psychological intervention for foot ulcer prevention. This article conducts a comparative analysis of the two guidelines across six key dimensions: identification of high-risk feet, regular examination of high-risk feet, health education, ensuring appropriate daily footwear, addressing ulcer risk factors, and comprehensive foot care. Drawing from clinical insights, the application and prospective implications of the 2023 guidelines in China are also examined.

ObjectiveTo explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the Danhe granules on hypercholesterolemia rats by observing the changes in the efficacy indicators and the levels of proteins related to the cholesterol metabolism pathway in the rats under the intervention of Danhe granules. MethodSD rats were randomly assigned to either the blank group or the model group based on their body weight. The blank group had normal chow diets， while the model group was fed high-fat diets for seven weeks. One week after the establishment of the model， the content of the serum total cholesterol （TC） in the model rats was detected. According to the TC value， the model group was further randomly divided into a control group， pravastatin sodium tablet group（4.02 mg·kg^-1）， Xuezhikang capsule group（0.12 g·kg^-1）， high-dose， middle-dose， and low-dose groups of Danhe granules（4.536， 2.268， 1.134 g·kg^-1）. After grouping the model groups， each treatment group received continuous oral gavage for six weeks， with weekly measurements of body weight and food intake （the difference between feed intake and feed surplus）. Six weeks later， the levels of serum TC， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） were measured. The liver pathology and lipid droplet distribution were evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and oil red O staining， with scoring and calculation conducted. Rat liver tissue was collected， and western blot and immunohistochemistry （IHC） were used to detect the expression levels of cholesterol metabolism-related proteins namely phosphorylated adenosine 5'-monophosphate （AMP）-activated protein kinase （p-AMPK）， AMPK， 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A reductase （HMGCR）， low-density lipoprotein receptor （LDLR）， cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase （CYP7A1）， Acyl-coenzyme A： cholesterol acyltransferase 2 （ACAT2）， and apolipoprotein B （ApoB） in hypercholesterolemia rats. ResultCompared with the blank group， the model group showed a significantly higher level of serum TC （P<0.01）. The TG level had no significant change， and the HDL-C level was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The liver index， steatosis score， total score of pathological state， and the positive area ratio of oil red O staining were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the protein expression levels of p-AMPK， p-AMPK/AMPK， LDLR， and CYP7A1 were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while the protein expression levels of AMPK， HMGCR， and ACAT2 were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the TC level in each dose group of Danhe granules was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the positive area ratio of oil red O staining in the pravastatin sodium tablet group and medium-dose group of Danhe granules was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. In each administration group， the protein expression levels of p-AMPK and p-AMPK/AMPK were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the levels of HMGCR and ACAT2 were significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The ApoB level showed a downward trend. The CYP7A1 level in the pravastatin sodium tablet group and each dose group of Danhe granules was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the LDLR level in the pravastatin sodium tablet group， Xuezhikang capsule group， and high-dose and medium-dose groups of Danhe granules was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionDanhe granules can reduce serum TC levels and improve hepatic steatosis. It may activate AMPK， down-regulate the expression of HMGCR， and inhibit cholesterol synthesis. It can also up-regulate the expression of LDLR and CYP7A1， promote cholesterol uptake and excretion， down-regulate the expression of ACAT2 and ApoB， reduce cholesterol absorption and assembly of LDL and other lipoproteins， and thus play a role in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of palliative care self-report practice among oncology nurses and provide references and directions for improving the palliative care practice of oncology nurses.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Totally 349 oncology nurses from four hospitals in Hangzhou were selected by convenience sampling from June to December 2022. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Palliative Care Self-Report Practice Scale (PCPS), and the Palliative Care Knowledge Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between PCPS scores and palliative care knowledge scores among oncology nurses. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify the influencing factors of palliative care self-report practice.Results:A total of 349 questionnaires were distributed, with 332 valid responses, resulting in an effective response rate of 95.13% (332/349). The total PCPS score among the 332 oncology nurses was (42.16±4.52). Among the six dimensions, the dyspnea dimension had the highest average item score of (2.85±0.54), while the communication dimension had the lowest average item score of (2.03±0.54). There was a positive correlation between PCPS scores and palliative care knowledge scores ( P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that years of work experience, attitude towards palliative care, understanding of palliative care, and palliative care knowledge scores were influencing factors of palliative care self-report practice among oncology nurses ( P<0.01), accounting for 66.30% of the total variance. Conclusions:The palliative care self-report practice of oncology nurses is at a moderate level and is influenced by various factors. Hospital leaders should provide individualized and diversified palliative care education and training aimed at improving palliative care practices. This should involve multiple approaches and levels to enhance the nurses' mastery of palliative care knowledge and clinical skills, thereby improving the quality of palliative care services and patient satisfaction.
