AIM: To evaluate the repeatability and accuracy of iCare IC100 tonometer in measuring intraocular pressure(IOP)by comparing the correlation and difference with Goldmann applanation tonometry(GAT)and non-contact tonometer(NCT), and to compare the correlation of the three types of IOP measurement with the central corneal thickness(CCT).METHODS: Prospective study. A total of 90 outpatients(90 eyes)in Liaoning Aier Eye Hospital from March 2019 to May 2019 were randomly selected as study subjects. All patients were measured IOP using iCare IC100, NCT, and GAT. The interclass correlation coefficient(ICC)was used to evaluate the repeatability of IOP measured 3 times consecutively using an intraocular tonometer. The correlation and consistency of iCare IC100, GAT and NCT were compared by one-way ANOVA, Pearson linear correlation analysis and Bland-Altman analysis. The linear regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation of the three tonometers with CCT.RESULTS: The mean IOP measured with iCare IC100, GAT and NCT was 19.74±6.90, 19.88±7.07 and 18.47±6.31 mmHg, respectively(F=1.180, P=0.309). The measurements of iCare IC100 with GAT, iCare IC100 with NCT and GAT with NCT were all positively correlated(r=0.930, 0.946, 0.918, all P<0.05), the Bland-Altman analysis showed that the mean differences between iCare IC100 and GAT, iCare IC100 and NCT, GAT and NCT were -0.142±2.61, 1.27±2.24, and 1.41±2.81 mmHg, respectively, with 97%(87/90), 96%(86/90), and 97%(87/90)IOP differences distributed within their 95% confidence intervals. The IOP measured with iCare IC100 and CCT, GAT and CCT and NCT and CCT were all positively correlated(r=0.426, 0.353, 0.451, all P<0.01). The linear regression equations between iCare IC100, GAT and NCT measurement and CCT were iCare IC100 IOP=-19.62+0.074×CCT; GAT IOP=-13.54+0.063×CCT; NCT IOP=-19.65+0.072×CCT; that is, for every 10 μm increase in CCT, iCare IC100 measurement increased by 0.74 mmHg, GAT measurement increased by 0.63 mmHg, and NCT measurement increased by 0.72 mmHg.CONCLUSION: The iCare IC100 tonometer has good repeatability and accuracy in measuring IOP, and the CCT has a greater impact on the measurement of iCare IC100 than the GAT and NCT.

Objective To investigate the effect of rehabilitation instruction based on resourceful theory on the execution intention of exercise behaviour in patient with the first-episode stroke.Methods From September 2022 to February 2023,a total of 80 inpatients with first-episode stroke from a general hospital in Anhui Province participated in the study.Patients in Wards Ⅰ and Ⅱ were assigned to an intervention group,while those in Wards Ⅲ and Ⅳ were assigned to a control group,with 40 patients per group.The patients in control group received standard interventions,while those in the intervention group were offered with a rehabilitation instruction based on resourceful theory in addition to the standard interventions.Stroke patient rehabilitation exercise behaviour execution intention questionnaire,resourcefulness scale and modified Barthel were employed for assessments before and after the intervention.Results After the intervention,the intervention group showed significantly higher scores inexecutive intention of exercise behaviour,resourcefulness level and daily living activities compared to those in the control group(all P＜0.01).Conclusion Rehabilitation instruction based on the theory of resourcefulness can effectively increase the executive intention of exercise behaviour in the patients with first-episode stroke,improve the resourcefulness thinking levels and enhance the daily living activity of the patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of nicorandil combined with rosuvastatin calcium on monocyte-to-high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and cardiac function in patients with coronary slow flow (CSF). Methods A group case-control study was used to select 240 patients with CSF confirmed by coronary angiography, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 120 patients in each group. On the basis of conventional drug treatment, the control group was treated with rosuvastatin calcium, while the observation group was treated with nicorandil combined with rosuvastatin calcium for 6 months. Clinical efficacy, inflammatory markers[high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), MHR, SII], corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) of major coronary branches [left anterior descending branch (LAD), left circumflex branch (LCX), right coronary artery (RCA)], cardiac function indicators[left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), global longitudinal strain (GLS)], and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were compared between the two groups. Results The total effective rate in the observation groupwas significantly higher than that in the control group (95.00% versus 80.00%, P < 0.05). After treatment, the duration, severity, andfrequency of angina pectoris attacks were reduced or shortened in both groups, with more changes observed in the observation group (P < 0.05). Serum levels of hs-CRP, MHR, and SII were lower in both groups after 6 months of treatment, and the observation group with significantly was lower compared to the control group (P < 0.05). CTFC values of LAD, LCX, and RCA were also lower in both groups after 6 months, with the observation group showing significantly lower values (P < 0.05). The absolute values of LVEF and GLS increased in both groups after 6 months of treatment, and the observation group was higher than the control group (P < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in LVEDD and occurrence of MACE between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The application of nicorandil combined with rosuvastatin calcium in the treatment of CSF patients can significantly improve the overall treatment efficacy, reduce hs-CRP, MHR, and SII levels, enhance cardiac function indicators such as LVEF, LVEDD, and GLS, and effectively alleviate the severity of angina pectoris attacks.

Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective:To explore the relationships among workplace bullying,resilience and work perform-ance in nurses,employing a moderation and matching analysis perspective.Methods:A total of 3 026 nurses from 4 tertiary hospitals in Shandong Province were recruited.The Negative Acts Questionnaire Revised,Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10item,and Work Performance Scale were used to evaluate workplace bullying,psychological re-silience and work performance.Moderation analysis and response surface analysis were used to investigate the rela-tionships among workplace bullying,psychological resilience and work performance in nurses.Results:The results of the moderation effect analysis indicated that psychological resilience could moderate the negative relationship be-tween workplace bullying and work performance(β=0.07,95％CI:0.03-0.10).Response surface analysis re-vealed that compared to nurses with low bullying-low resilience,nurses with high bullying-high resilience showed higher work performance(Z-hat difference=2.06;95％CI=0.48-3.58).Nurses with high bullying-low resili-ence exhibited lower work performance compared to those with low bullying-high resilience(Z-hat difference=-8.31;95％CI=-12.06--5.68).Conclusion:Psychological resilience plays a moderating role in the negative effects of workplace bullying on job performance of nurses,and there are relative differences in work performance between individuals with different levels of workplace bullying and psychological resilience.

Background::Psychological stress has been reported to be a potential risk factor for hypertension among females, but it remains unclear whether spousal chronic stress levels alter the risk of hypertension among women. We examined the associations between stress within the family and hypertension among married women.Methods::Reproductive-aged women who were planning for pregnancy and their husbands were recruited from the National Free Pre-pregnancy Checkup Projects (NFPCP) across 31 provinces in China in 2016 and 2017. Perceived stress of wives or husbands was measured with a 5-point Likert-type scale, and assessed from three domains: work/life-related stress, economic stress, and overall stress. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between stress status and the prevalence of hypertension.Results::Of 10,027,644 couples, 261,098 (2.60%) women had hypertension. The results showed that higher stress levels among themselves or their husbands were associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension in women ( Pfor trend <0.001). Compared with non-stressed participants, female participants with the highest stress themselves were at a greater risk of hypertension, with adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-1.37); and compared with participants whose husbands had no stress, those whose husbands had the highest stress level were at a higher risk of hypertension with adjusted OR of 1.24 (95% CI: 1.20-1.29). Moreover, compared with non-stressed status for both couples, only-wife-stressed, only-husband-stressed, and both-stressed couples were found to be significantly associated with increased risks of wives’ hypertension, with adjusted ORs of 1.28 (95% CI: 1.25-1.31), 1.19 (95% CI: 1.17-1.21), and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.26-1.31), respectively. Conclusion::Moderate to severe stress in both spouses might be associated with female hypertension prevalence, which highlights the importance of paying attention to the psychological stresses of couples within the family.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has stimulated tremendous efforts to develop therapeutic agents that target severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to control viral infection. So far, a few small-molecule antiviral drugs, including nirmatrelvir-ritonavir (Paxlovid), remdesivir, and molnupiravir have been marketed for the treatment of COVID-19. Nirmatrelvir-ritonavir has been recommended by the World Health Organization as an early treatment for outpatients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19. However, the existing treatment options have limitations, and effective treatment strategies that are cost-effective and convenient for tackling COVID-19 are still needed. To date, four domestically developed oral anti-COVID-19 drugs have been granted conditional market approval in China. These drugs include azvudine, simnotrelvir-ritonavir (Xiannuoxin), leritrelvir, and mindeudesivir (VV116). Preclinical and clinical studies have explored the efficacy and tolerability of mindeudesivir and supported its early use in mild-to-moderate COVID-19 cases at high risk for progression. In this review, we discuss the most recent findings regarding the pharmacological mechanism and therapeutic effects focusing on mindeudesivir and other small-molecule antiviral agents for COVID-19. These findings will expand our understanding and highlight the potential widespread application of China's homegrown anti-COVID-19 drugs.

Objective:To analyze the supervision mode and problems of intensive countywide medical communities and explore the methods and strategies to improve their supervision system.Methods:From March 2022 to May 2022, a stratified random sampling method was used and the intensive countywide medical communities in the province were selected for field study. In-depth interviews were made with the staff of the healthcare administration departments and health insurance agencies affiliated with intensive countywide medical communities, directors of general hospitals, directors of township hospitals, and heads of functional departments. These interviews mainly covered the principal entities of countywide medical community supervision, supervision measures and contents, supervision effects, supervision weaknesses, and how to improve internal and external supervision mechanisms. The interviews results were analyzed using thematic framework analysis and the data were subject to a descriptive analysis.Results:23 persons of five intensive countywide medical communities were selected for key person interview. The finalized framework of regulatory elements of intensive countywide medical communities consists of such five general themes as regulatory subjects, regulatory content, regulatory measures, regulatory effectiveness and existing problems, comprising 14 level-1 indicators and 52 level-2 indicators. The main regulatory bodies were mainly government departments (15 times), the regulatory content was focused on medical resources (10 times), the regulatory measures cover specific regulations (4 times), specific activities (4 times) and assessment and evaluation (4 times). And the regulatory effectiveness demonstrated a currently strong regulation strength of medical communities (5 times), and the existing problems were insufficient government supervision (12 times), difficulties encountered by social forces in their supervision (11 times) and internal governance (5 times).Conclusions:The supervision system of intensive countywide medical communities should be optimized by improving the governmental supervision mechanism, inviting supervision of social forces and building an effective internal governance.

Objective:To investigate the application value of mixed reality technology in surgical conversation of laparoscopy radical resection of gastric cancer.Methods:The prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. There were 80 family members of patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University from June 2021 to December 2022 being selected as subjects. All patients underwent laparoscopic radical resection of gastric cancer. Based on random number table, all subjects were allocated into the control group and the experiment group. Subjects in the control group performed routine surgical conversation and subjects in the experiment group performed surgical conversation based on mixed reality technology. Observation indicators: (1) baseline data of the subjects; (2) anxiety assessment of the subjects. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison. Repeated measurement data were analyzed using the repeated ANOVA. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results:(1) Baseline data of the subjects. A total of 80 subjects were selected for eligibility, including 40 subjects in the control group and 40 subjects in the experi-ment group. There were 44 males and 36 females, aged (40±9)years. The gender (male, female), age, education background (primary school education, middle school education, high school education, junior college education, undergraduate education, postgraduate education) were 23, 17, (39±9)years, 1, 3, 9, 16, 9, 2 in subjects of the control group, versus 25, 15, (42±10)years, 0, 8, 6, 11, 14, 1 in subjects of the experiment group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=0.20, t=?1.64, Z=?0.10, P>0.05). (2) Anxiety assessment of the subjects. The scores of self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Hospital Anxiety Scale (HADS) before surgical conversation, after surgical conversation, after surgery were 41±10 and 26±5, 49±11 and 32±3, 40±13 and 15±8 in subjects of the control group, versus 44±9 and 23±3, 66±16 and 28±6, 34±14 and 8±3 in subjects of the experiment group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( FSAS组间=8.83, FSAS时间=40.41, FSAS交互=12.21, FHADS组间=32.42, FHADS时间=321.28, FHADS交互=6.15, P<0.05).
