Objective To explore the mediating role of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Methods A total of 1 006 nurses from ten tertiary general hospitals in eight provincial administrative regions were selected as the research subjects using convenient sampling method. Their safety behavior, professional identity and occupational well-being were investigated using Nurse Safety Behavior Scale, Nurse Professional Identity Scale and Occupational Well-being Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS 26.0 to examine the mediating effect of occupational well-being in the relationship between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses. Results The scores for safety behavior, professional identity, and occupational well-being were (53.0±6.1), (123.7±21.2) and (90.8±13.1), respectively. Safety behavior was positively correlated with both professional identity and occupational well-being (correlation coefficients were 0.50 and 0.50, respectively, both P<0.01). Professional identity was positively correlated with occupational well-being (correlation coefficient was 0.51, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis results showed that the higher the professional identity and occupational well-being of nurses, the higher the level of safety behavior (both P<0.05). The result of mediating effect shows that the total effect of occupational identity on safety behavior was 0.498 [95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.405-0.576], and occupational well-being played a mediating role between professional identity and safety behavior among nurses with the mediation effect of 0.156 (95%CI was 0.112-0.205), accounting for 31.33% of the total effect. Conclusion The safety behavior of nurses is at a moderate level. Both professional identity and occupational well-being can affect the safety behavior of nurses. Professional identity can increase the safety behavior of nurses by affecting occupational well-being.

Objective:To explore the impact of home enteral nutrition (HEN) on the treatment strategy of patients with high position intestinal fistula.Methods:The clinical and follow-up data of 36 patients with high position intestinal fistula requiring HEN treated in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from Jan 2021 to Sep 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 36 cases, 2 had indwelling nasogastric tubes, 12 had indwelling nasojejunal nutritional tubes, and 22 had percutaneous jejunostomy. The incidence of HEN-related complications in patients was 13.9%, and there were no serious catheter complications.During HEN, high position intestinal fistula healed in 19 cases (52.8%), returned to the hospital for the next stage of intestinal fistula treatment in 11 cases (30.6%), needed to return to the hospital for nutritional support in 1 case (2.8%), and intestinal fistula aggravated to terminate HEN in 2 cases (5.6%).Conclusion:Under the management of professional team, HEN via nasogastric/jejunal nutritional tube or percutaneous jejunostomy is safe and feasible in patients with high intestinal fistula.

With high incidence and lethality rate and certain disability rate， tumor has become a major global public health threat. It has been verified that the occurrence and development of tumor are resulted from the synergy of environment， heredity， and gene mutation， involving the abnormal activation or inhibition of a variety of related pathways such as oxidative stress， inflammation， autophagy， and mesenchymal transition of cells. Among them， the excessive activation of inflammatory signaling pathway is one of the main mechanisms of carcinogenesis and tumor progression， which enhances the proliferation， chemoradiotherapy resistance， invasion， and metastasis of cancer cells. At the moment， the correlation between long-term chronic uncontrollable inflammation and "inflammation-cancer transformation" has been widely recognized. Therefore， it is of great significance for the prevention and treatment， diagnosis， and prognosis evaluation of tumor to clarify the role of inflammation in the incidence of tumor. Blockers or activators have been developed to target the corresponding inflammatory pathways. However， tumor is accompanied by the abnormality of multiple inflammatory pathways， especially the advanced tumor with metastasis of cancer cells， and thus the efficacy of single pathway-targeting agents is non-ideal. Chinese medicine， featuring multiple components and multiple targets， can remarkably control the inflammatory response， delay tumor progression， enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy， and reduce postoperative infection and the adverse reactions caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy， thereby exerting the anti-cancer effect. Nevertheless， a few reports on the anti-tumor effect of Chinese medicine from the perspective of inflammation are available. Therefore， this paper mainly expounds the influence of inflammation on the occurrence and development of tumor and summarizes the research on the intervention of tumor by Chinese medicine through inflammatory pathway， which is expected to provide a new mindset for the prevention and treatment of tumor.

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (HIRI) is a serious complication that occurs following shock and/or liver surgery. Gut microbiota and their metabolites are key upstream modulators of development of liver injury. Herein, we investigated the potential contribution of gut microbes to HIRI. Ischemia/reperfusion surgery was performed to establish a murine model of HIRI. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolomics were used for microbial analysis. Transcriptomics and proteomics analysis were employed to study the host cell responses. Our results establish HIRI was significantly increased when surgery occurred in the evening (ZT12, 20:00) when compared with the morning (ZT0, 08:00); however, antibiotic pretreatment reduced this diurnal variation. The abundance of a microbial metabolite 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid was significantly higher in ZT0 when compared with ZT12 in the gut and this compound significantly protected mice against HIRI. Furthermore, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid suppressed the macrophage pro-inflammatory response in vivo and in vitro. This metabolite inhibits histone deacetylase activity by reducing its phosphorylation. Histone deacetylase inhibition suppressed macrophage pro-inflammatory activation and diminished the diurnal variation of HIRI. Our findings revealed a novel protective microbial metabolite against HIRI in mice. The potential underlying mechanism was at least in part, via 3,4-dihydroxyphenylpropionic acid-dependent immune regulation and histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition in macrophages.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of double opposing rhomboid flap in repairing facial skin defects.Methods:From January 2020 to December 2020, 30 cases of facial skin lesions were removed in the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, including 12 males and 18 females, aged 14-65 years, with an average age of 34.2 years. The diameter of the facial skin defect wound was 0.5-2.0 cm. The patients with facial skin defect were repaired with double opposing rhomboid flap. All patients were followed up for 3-12 months.Results:The incisions of 30 patients were healed in one stage, and double opposing rhomboid flaps survived. Following-up for 3 to 12 months showed that the operation area was flat, the incision scar was not obvious, the texture and color of the operation area and the surrounding skin matched well, the surrounding organs were not deformed, the lesions were not recurrent, and the cosmetic effect was satisfactory.Conclusions:The double opposing rhomboid flap is an effective method to repair quasi-circular facial skin defects, which is worthy of clinical application.

Radioactive enteritis(RE)is one of the most serious and common complications of intestinal tract caused by radiotherapy for malignant tumors in abdominal cavity,pelvic cavity,or retroperitoneum.Involved intestinal diseases are widespread,complex,and persistent,which make treatment difficult and ineffective.Short bowel syndrome can develop in some serious cases.Gut flora is the largest and most complex micro-ecosystem in human body and has a wide range of functions.Studies have shown that intestinal flora plays an important role in radiation-induced RE.This article summarizes recent research advances in the relationship between RE and gut flora.

Objective: Early T-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) is a recently recognized high-risk T lymphoblastic leukemia subgroup. The optimal therapeutic approaches to adult patients with ETP-ALL are poorly characterized. In this study, we explore the efficacy and outcome of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for ETP-ALL. Methods: The clinical data of 23 patients with ETP-ALL receiving allo-HSCT from 2010 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with ETP-ALL were diagnosed based on the characteristic immunophenotypes. Second-generation sequencing was done in all patients. As to the donors, 12 patients had haploidentical donors (Haplo-HSCT) , 7 HLA-matched sibling donors (Sib-HSCT) and 4 HLA-matched unrelated donors (URD-HSCT) . Before transplantation, 19 patients achieved complete remission (CR) and 4 patients without. Results: The main clinical features of ETP-ALL included high white blood cell counts in 5 patients, splenomegaly in 14, lymphadenopathy in 19, and thymus masses in 5. According to cytogenetic and molecular characteristics, 11 patients had gene mutations related to myeloid tumors, and 7 with high risk Karyotype. After first induction regimen, 14/23 patients achieved CR. 5 patients reached CR after more than 2 cycles of chemotherapy, while another 4 patients did not reach CR. After allo-HSCT, 22 patients were successfully implanted. The median time of granulocyte and platelet reconstitution was +12 and +19 days. One patient died of transplant-related infection at +14 days. The estimated 18-month overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were (55.0±14.4) % and (48.1±14.7) % respectively. Transplant-related mortality was 4.3%. The median OS in patients achieving CR before transplantation was 20 months, however, that in patients without CR was only 13 months. OS and RFS between haplo-HSCT and sib-HSCT were comparable (P=0.460 and 0.420 respectively) . Conclusions Allo-HSCT is an effective therapy in some patients with ETP-ALL. Salvage HSCT cannot overcome the poor outcome. Haplo-HSCT and sib-HSCT in ETP-ALL patients have the similar clinical outcome.
