Objective To investigate the role of hydrogen therapy in reducing radiation-induced lung injury and the specific mechanism. Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group, model group, hydrogen therapy group I, and hydrogen therapy group II. A mouse model of radiation-induced lung injury was established. The pathological changes in the lung tissue of the mice were examined with HE staining. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of surface markers of M1 and M2 macrophages to observe macrophage polarization. The expression of interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and IL-10 in the lung tissue was measured by immunohistochemistry. The expression of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB (P-NF-κB) p65 was measured by Western blot. Results HE staining showed that compared with the control group, the model group exhibited alveolar septal swelling and thickening, vascular dilatation and congestion, and inflammatory cell infiltration in the lung tissue; the hydrogen groups had significantly reduced pathological damage and inflammatory response than the model group, with more improvements in hydrogen group II than in hydrogen group I. Immunohistochemical results showed that compared with those in the control group, the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α were significantly increased in the model group; the hydrogen groups showed significantly decreased IL-6 and TNF-α levels and a significantly increased level of the anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 than the model group, which were more marked in hydrogen group II than in hydrogen group I. Immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the control group, the expression of the surface marker of M1 macrophages in the model group was significantly upregulated; the hydrogen groups showed significantly downregulated M1 marker and significantly upregulated M2 marker, and hydrogen group II showed significantly increased M2 marker compared with hydrogen group I. Western blot results showed that compared with that in the control group, the ratio of P-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 in the model group was significantly increased; the P-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 ratio was significantly reduced in the hydrogen groups than in the model group, and was significantly lower in hydrogen group II than in hydrogen group I. Conclusion Hydrogen inhalation therapy may reduce the inflammatory response of radiation-induced lung injury by inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway to promote the polarization of the macrophage M1 subtype to the M2 subtype.

Objective To explore the correlation between serum glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),lym-phocyte activation gene-3(LAG-3)and thyroid nodules in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 120 T2DM patients with thyroid nodules admitted to the Third Hospital of Hebei Medi-cal University from July 2021 to July 2022 were included as the study group,and 100 simple T2DM patients(without thyroid nodules)were included as the control group during the same period.According to the patho-logical examination results of thyroid nodules,the study group was grouped into a benign nodule group(85 ca-ses)and a malignant nodule group(35 cases).Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to detect the serum LAG-3 level of all study subjects.Fully automated glycated hemoglobin analyzer was applied to detect HbA1c level in all study subjects.Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum HbA1c,LAG-3,and thyroid imaging report and data system(TI-RADS)scores in patients with T2DM and thyroid nodules.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of T2DM with thyroid nodules.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic value of HbA1c and LAG-3 levels in T2DM with thyroid nodules.Results Compared with the control group,the level of HbA1c in the study group was obviously higher(P<0.05),while the level of LAG-3 was obviously lower(P<0.05).Compared with the benign nodule group,the serum LAG-3 level in the malignant nodule group was obviously lower(P<0.05),while the level of LAG-3 was obviously lower(P<0.05).Spearman analysis showed a positive correlation between HbA1c level and TI-RADS score in T2DM patients with thyroid nod-ules(r=0.378,P<0.001),while the serum LAG-3 level was negatively correlated with TI-RADS score(r=-0.472,P<0.001).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that HbA1c was a risk factor for the occurrence of thyroid nodules in T2DM patients(P<0.05),and LAG-3 was a protective factor for the occurrence of thyroid nodules in T2DM patients(P<0.05).The combination of HbA1c and LAG-3 in the diagnosis of T2DM with thyroid nodules was superior to their individual diagnosis(Zcombination-HbA1c=2.542,P=0.011;Zcombination-LAG-3=3.098,P=0.002).Conclusion Patients with T2DM combined with thyroid nodules have obviously lower serum LAG-3 level and higher HbA1c level,and the two are related to the malignancy of thyroid nodules.

Objective:To explore the psychological experiences of lung cancer patients during treatment based on the perspective of narrative medicine,and to provide references for targeted nursing interventions.Methods:Guided by the concept of narrative medicine,the phenomenological method of qualitative research was used to conduct in-depth interviews with 20 lung cancer patients.The interview data were analyzed,refined,and summarized by using the content analysis method.Results:From the perspective of the humanistic value of narrative medicine,four themes were extracted from the interview contents with 20 lung cancer patients,including the loss of patients'role identity,the experience of disease uncertainty,the fear and expectation of death,and the helplessness and perception of life.Conclusion:During the treatment process of lung cancer patients,there are negative psychological experiences,such as loss of role identity,uncertainty of disease,fear of death,and hope to leave with dignity.Meanwhile,there are positive perceptions,such as contemplation of the meaning of life and actively coping with it.

Ferroptosis is a way of cell death with lipid peroxides as the core.Cells can reduce ferroptosis sensitivity by relying on glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4)/glutathione(GSH)antioxidant systems.Triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC)cells are more dependent on the intracellular antioxidant mechanism than normal cells,thus induction of ferroptosis based on the GPX4/GSH system has shown bright anti-TNBC prospects.This paper reviews the recent research on TNBC treatment with ferroptosis in the background of GPX4/GSH,in order to provide references for the clinical treatment of TNBC.

OBJECTIVES: The magnesium depletion score (MDS) is considered more reliable than traditional approaches for predicting magnesium deficiency in humans. We explored the associations of MDS and dietary magnesium intake with diabetes. METHODS: We obtained data from 18,853 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2018. Using multivariate regression and stratified analysis, we investigated the relationships of both MDS and magnesium intake with diabetes. To compute prevalence ratios (PRs), we employed modified Poisson or log-binomial regression. We characterized the non-linear association between magnesium intake and diabetes using restricted cubic spline analysis. RESULTS: Participants with MDS ≥2 exhibited a PR of 1.26 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.19 to 1.34) for diabetes. Per-standard deviation (SD) increase in dietary magnesium intake was associated with a lower prevalence of diabetes (PR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.87 to 0.96). Subgroup analyses revealed a positive association between MDS ≥2 and diabetes across all levels of dietary magnesium intake, including the lowest (PR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.18 to 1.55), middle (PR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.35), and highest tertiles (PR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.37; pinteraction<0.001). Per-SD increase in magnesium intake was associated with lower diabetes prevalence in participants with MDS <2 (PR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.87 to 0.98) and those with MDS ≥2 (PR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.84 to 0.98; pinteraction=0.030). CONCLUSIONS MDS is associated with diabetes, particularly among individuals with low magnesium intake. Adequate dietary magnesium intake may reduce diabetes risk, especially in those with high MDS.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Objective:To explore the practical effect of nursing research group model in a training program for clinical nurses′ scientific research ability.Methods:From August 2020 to July 2021, 30 clinical nurses from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were trained by case teaching mode through the construction of a complete nursing scientific research training course system with the nursing research group as the carrier. The scores of nursing scientific research ability of clinical nurses before and after the training were compared, and the evaluation of teaching effect and the output of scientific research results were analyzed.Results:After the training, the total scores of clinical nurses′ scientific research ability, problem discovery ability, literature reading ability, scientific research design ability, data processing ability, scientific research practice ability and thesis writing ability were 78.33 ± 7.48, 8.83 ± 1.42, 14.47 ± 1.22, 13.27 ± 1.36, 11.07 ± 1.60, 14.73 ± 1.28, 15.97 ± 1.35 respectively. The scores were significantly higher than those before the training (59.00 ± 7.44, 6.53 ± 1.22, 11.80 ± 1.37, 9.53 ± 1.31, 8.10 ± 1.37, 11.30 ± 1.34, 11.73 ± 1.46), and the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -52.80 - -21.14, all P<0.05). The proportion of clinical nurses who believed that the training with nursing research group as the carrier could improve learning attitude, enhance clinical comprehensive ability and promote professional development was ≥90%. After the training, 8 papers were published, 3 projects were approved and 2 patents were approved, which were significantly higher than those before the training (2, 1 and 0), and the total scientific research and innovation achievements increased by 333.33% (10/3) compared with those before the training. Conclusions:Scientific research training with nursing research group as the carrier can improve the scientific research ability of clinical nurses and improve their innovative thinking.

Objective:To investigate the current status of emotional intelligence of standardized training nurses and explore the influencing factors.Methods:A total of 312 standardized training nurses from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University were investigated from May to June 2020 with general information questionnaire and Nurses′ Emotional Intelligence Scale, and analyze the influencing factors of nurses′ emotional intelligence during the standar dized training period.Results:The total score of standardized training nurses′ emotional intelligence was (59.01 ± 8.24), the scoring rate was 73.76%, and the total average score of items was (3.69 ± 0.52). The average scores of the four dimensions from low to high were: self emotion assessment (3.86 ± 0.66), self emotion management (3.67 ± 0.71), self emotion application (3.64 ± 0.67) and emotion assessment of others (3.58 ± 0.65). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that political outlook, whether it was an only child, and training time and willingness to engage in nursing work for a long time were the main influencing factors of standardized training nurses′ emotional intelligence, accounting for 32.6% of the variance.Conclusions:The emotional intelligence of standardized training nurses is at the medium level, which needs to be further improved. Hospital managers need to carry out positive intervention combined with relevant influencing factors to cultivate more excellent nursing talents for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy(HBOT)on myocardial fibrosis and oxidative stress induced by D-galactose(D-gal)in senescent model mice and its possible mechanism.Methods:Three-month-old male Kunming mice(n=27)were randomized into control, D-gal, and D-gal + HBOT groups.The control group received subcutaneous sterilized saline(5 ml · kg -1· d -1)for 8 weeks; the remaining 2 groups received subcutaneous D-gal(200 mg · kg -1· d -1)for 8 weeks. The D-gal + HBOT group underwent HBOT intervention at week 7~8.At the end of the experiment, the histopathological changes were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining, and the fibrosis changes were analyzed by Masson staining and Sirius red staining.Oxidative stress kit was used to detect catalase(CAT), total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD)activity and malon-di-aldehyde(MDA)content in serum of mice.Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of the aging-related proteins p53 and p16 in mouse heart tissue, the heart-function-related proteins atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)and brain natriuretic peptide(BNP), and the oxidative stress-related protein superoxide dismutase 1(SOD1), superoxide dismutase 2(SOD2)and catalase(CAT). Results:Cardiac morphologic staining indicated that as compared with the control group, mice of D-gal group exhibited features of senescence and the increased fibrosis area, and senescence and fibrosis were obviously improved after HBOT intervention as compared with the D-gal group.The findings of the oxidative stress kit measurement indicated that as compared with the control group, the D-gal group had markedly decreased activities of CAT and T-SOD, significantly increased MDA content in the serum.After HBOT treatment, as compared with d-gal group, serum CAT and T-SOD activities were increased, while MDA content was decreased( F=126.85, 32.89, 157.50, all P<0.05).Furthermore, as compared with the control group, the D-gal group had obviously increased contents of p53, p16, ANP and BNP, while the content of CAT, SOD1 and SOD2 were obviously decreased.After HBOT intervention, as compared with the D-gal group, the contents of p53, p16, ANP、BNP were reduced, while the content of CAT, SOD1 and SOD2 were increased( F=36.37, 14.81, 23.28, 58.41, 12.79, 80.08, 6.63, all P<0.05). Conclusions:HBOT intervention could protects against cardiac injury in aging mice, which may be related to attenuating myocardial fibrosis, inducing the expression of antioxidant enzymes, and reducing oxidative stress.

Objective:To investigate the current status of emotional labor of nurses in standardized training period, and to analyze the relationship between emotional labor and emotional intelligence.Methods:From May to June 2020, 312 nurses in the standardized training period were selected as the research objects, which were investigated with general information questionnaire, Emotional Labor Scale and Emotional Intelligence Scale.Results:The total score of standardized training nurses' emotional labor was (52.27±10.18) points, and the total average score of items was (3.73±0.73) points. The average scores of the three dimensions from high to low: deep acting (4.62±0.86) points, expression of genuine emotion (3.62±0.99) points and surface acting (3.42±0.95) points. There was a correlation between emotional intelligence and emotional labor. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the emotional evaluation of others ( β value was -0.189, P<0.05) ( β value was -0.255, P<0.01). Self emotional assessment ( β value was 0.297, P<0.01) ( β value was 0.177, P<0.05). Self emotional assessment ( β value was 0.269, P<0.05), which had a positive predictive effect on emotional expression requirements. Conclusions:The emotional labor of nurses in standardized training period is at the medium level, and the deep acting score is the highest between three dimensions. Hospital managers could promote nurses to use appropriate emotional labor strategies by strengthening the cultivation of emotional intelligence during standardized training period.
