OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of aspirin versus other anticoagulants in the prevention of thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery. METHODS Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang data and VIP， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） and cohort studies about aspirin （trial group） versus other anticoagulants （control group） were collected during the inception and June 1st， 2023. After literature screening， data extraction and quality evaluation， the meta-analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS A total of 22 studies were included， involving 9 RCTs and 13 cohort studies. RCT results showed that the incidences of deep vein thrombosis （DVT） [RR＝1.81， 95%CI（1.36， 2.40）， P＜0.000 1] and postoperative pulmonary embolism （PE） [RR＝1.55， 95%CI（1.01， 2.40）， P＝0.05] in trial group were significantly higher than control group. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidences of postoperative massive bleeding， postoperative surgical site infection， all-cause death， or any bleeding after surgery between 2 groups. In the cohort study， the incidence of any bleeding in trial group was significantly lower than control group [RR＝0.71，95%CI （0.64， 0.79）， P＜0.000 1]， while the differences in other indicators were not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. The results of subgroup analysis based on different anticoagulants showed that in RCT， the incidences of DVT and PE after surgery in patients using low-molecular-weight heparin （LMWH） were significantly lower than using aspirin （P＜0.05）； in the cohort study， the incidences of DVT and PE after surgery were significantly lower in patients using direct oral anticoagulants （DOAC） than using aspirin （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of major bleeding between patients using aspirin and using DOAC and LWMH （P＞0.05） in both RCT and cohort study. CONCLUSIONS Aspirin is equally safe as other anticoagulants for the prevention of thromboembolism after orthopedic surgery， but its efficacy may not be as good as other anticoagulants. After orthopedic surgery， other anticoagulants should be preferred to prevent venous thromboembolism， and aspirin should be carefully considered.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg or 200 mg combined with yiqibuvir for 12 weeks in patients with various genotypes of chronic hepatitis C, without cirrhosis or compensated stage cirrhosis.Methods:Patients with chronic hepatitis C (without cirrhosis or compensated stage cirrhosis) were randomly assigned to the antaitasvir phosphate 100 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg group (100 mg group) or the antaitasvir phosphate 200 mg+yiqibuvir 600 mg group (200 mg group) in a 1∶1 ratio. The drugs were continuously administered once a day for 12 weeks and observed for 24 weeks after drug withdrawal. The drug safety profile was assessed concurrently with the observation of the sustained virological response (SVR12) in the two patient groups 12 weeks following the drug cessation. The intention-to-treat concept was used to define as closely as possible a full analysis set, including all randomized cases who received the experimental drug at least once. The safety set was collected from all subjects who received the experimental drug at least once (regardless of whether they participated in the randomization group) in this study. All efficacy endpoints and safety profile data were summarized using descriptive statistics. The primary efficacy endpoint was SVR12. The primary analysis was performed on a full analysis set. The frequency and proportion of cases were calculated in the experimental drug group (antaitasvir phosphate capsules combined with yiqibuvir tablets) that achieved "HCV RNA

Stapled peptides with significantly enhanced pharmacological profiles have emerged as promising therapeutic molecules due to their remarkable resistance to proteolysis and performance to penetrate cells. The all-hydrocarbon peptide stapling technique has already widely adopted with great success, yielding numerous potent peptide-based molecules. Based on our prior efforts, we conceived and prepared a double-stapled peptide in this study, termed FRNC-1, which effectively attenuated the bone resorption capacity of mature osteoclasts in vitro through specific inhibition of phosphorylated GSK-3β. The double-stapled peptide FRNC-1 displayed notably improved helical contents and resistance to proteolysis than its linear form. Additionally, FRNC-1 effectively prevented osteoclast activation and improved bone density for ovariectomized (OVX) mice after intravenous injection and importantly, after oral (intragastric) administration. The double-stapled peptide FRNC-1 is the first orally effective peptide that has been validated to date as a therapeutic candidate for postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP).

Objective: To observe the immediate effect of small-angle Tui-Pushing and An-Pressing anti-rotation bone-setting manipulation in improving the correction of braces for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Methods: A total of 50 cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis were selected and given brace correction first. The whole spine anteroposterior and lateral radiographs were taken, the Cobb angle was measured, and the visual analog scale (VAS) score of pain caused by brace wearing was recorded. After removal of the brace, small-angle Tui-Pushing and An-Pressing anti-rotation bone-setting manipulation was performed once. After treatment, the same brace was put on again to take a whole spine anteroposterior radiograph, the Cobb angle was measured, and the VAS score was recorded. The changes in Cobb angle and VAS score after manipulation were compared, and the immediate efficacy was evaluated. Results: After the manipulation, the Cobb angle was significantly smaller than that before treatment (P<0.01) and the VAS score was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion: Small-angle Tui-Pushing and An-Pressing anti-rotation bone-setting manipulation can improve the immediate efficacy of brace in treating adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and relieve the pain caused by brace wearing at the same time.

Objective:To explore the effect of key amino acid mutations of 3D protein in enterovirus 71 on viral proliferation, and infer the mechanism of mutation affecting viral proliferation according to the tertiary structure model of 3D protein.Methods:The proliferation characteristics of the mutant strain that was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and reverse genetics using the pMD19T-SDLY107-EGFP constructed from the fatal strain SDLY107 as a template were measured. Meanwhile the tertiary structure of the 3D protein was predicted, and then the possible mechanism of the mutation affecting the proliferation ability of the virus was speculated according to the functional characteristics of the domain of the 3D protein.Results:Two mutant viruses, eGFP-EV-A71 (S37N) and eGFP-EV-A71 (R142K), were successfully constructed by double enzyme digestion and viral gene sequencing. The proliferation rate of the two mutant strains in RD cells was significantly lower than that of the parent strains. The 3D protein tertiary structure prediction model showed that the 3D protein consisted of three domains: "Finger" , "thumb" and "Palm" , constituting a cupped right-handed structure. S37N and R142K are located in the "thumb" domain and " finger" domain, respectively. The "thumb" and "finger" domains have important effects on the activity of 3D polymerase and the stability of protein.Conclusions:Mutations at S37N and R142K sites of EV71 3D protein decrease the replication ability of EV71, and these two mutations may affect the proliferation of EV71 virus by changing the 3D protein polymerase activity and the interactions between multiple domains.

Objective: To investigate the effect of miR-23b/PTEN molecular axis on radio-sensitivity of lung cancerA549 cells and its mechanism. Methods: Lung cancer cell lines NCI-H1650, NCI-H175, Calu-1, LT-P-A-2, MSTO-211H, A549 and human normal lung epithelial cell line BEAS-2B were selected. The expression level of miR-23b in lung cancer cell lines was detected by qPCR. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was used to verify the relationship between miR-23b and PTEN. Plasmids miR-23b mimics, miR-23b inhibitor and pcDNA3.1-PTEN were transfected intoA549 cells by lipofection; PTEN expression levels in cells was detected by WB. CCK-8, Transwell andAnnexin V-FITC/PI staining flow cytometry were used to detect the effect of miR-23b/PTEN axis on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis ofA549 cells treated with 60Co γ-ray. Results: miR-23b was upregulated in lung cancer cell lines with the highest expression in A549 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Knockdown of miR-23b reversed the inhibitory effect of 3 Gy 60Co γ-rays on proliferation and invasion of A549 cells, and induced apoptosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay results confirmed that miR23b could negatively regulate PTEN (P<0.05). Furthermore, knockdown of miR-23b up-regulated PTEN expression level, and furhter enhanced the inhibitory effect of 3 Gy 60Co γ-ray on the proliferation and invasion of A549 cells as well as induced apoptosis of A549 cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Knockdown of miR-23b can enhance the radio-sensitivity of A549 cells, the mechanism of which is that 60Co γ-ray down-regulates the inhibitory effect of miR-23b on PTEN, thereby inhibiting the proliferation, invasion and inducing apoptosis ofA549 cells.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to examine the factor structure of Young Schema Questionnaire-short form (YSQ-SF) in a sample of Chinese adolescents, and to explore which maladaptive schemas were associated with anxiety symptoms. METHODS: YSQ-SF was administered to 983 nonclinical Chinese adolescents aged 13–17 years. Confirmatory factor analyses with weighted least squares means and variance adjusted estimation were conducted to examine the factor structure of YSQ-SF. Stepwise regression analyses were performed to identify schemas associated with anxiety symptoms. RESULTS: A bifactor model with 15 correlated factors fitted the data better than other priori defined models. Stepwise regressions showed Vulnerability to harm, Abandonment, Emotional inhibition, Subjugation, and Unrelenting standards schemas were associated with anxiety symptoms. Furthermore, different anxiety symptoms were associated with common and distinctive schemas. CONCLUSION: Maladaptive schemas were already stably formed in Chinese adolescents, however there's no robust evidence for the existence of domain. The explanatory value of maladaptive schemas for understanding psychopathology of anxiety in adolescence is discussed.

Objective To probe into the gaps between the inpatient care needs at public tertiary hospitals and existing nursing services,for measures to improve the quality of nursing service.Methods The simple clinical score(SCS),Barthel index scale,patient care needs questionnaire,and actual service status questionnaire were used in a multi-centered stratified random sampling survey, covering the adult inpatient wards of 72 departments at six tertiary hospitals.The results were subject to a stratified analysis of patient care needs, and a comparative analysis between patient care needs and the actual status of the service.Results Statistically significant differences were found between the nursing needs of patients from among different departments,self-care abilities and those with different conditions(P<0.05); the patient care needs and actual service status in cleaning, eating, excretion, activities, health education, basic treatment and nursing of traditional Chinese medicine in terms of the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); the comparative analysis found differences between patient care needs and actual service status.The top five patient care needs which were greater than the actual service status were namely temperature measuring,rehabilitation guidance,routine inspection,observation and psychological care.The top five areas with actual service status greater than patient care needs were namely turnover /back flapping, toilet assistance,temperature measuring,hands washing before and after meals,and herbal fumigation.The top five areas with minimal gap between needs and service were namely oral care, moxibustion, perineal care,assistance in using toilet in bed and manicure.Conclusions Departments, self-care abilities and conditions of patients vary with their needs of nursing.Based on the existing problems between patient care needs and the actual service status,nurses should increase their care in such soft indicators as rehabilitation guidance,routine inspection and disease observation, and fully meet the needs of patients.On the other hand,they are expected to enhance patients′health education and health literacy in such hard indicators as temperature measuring,turnover and back flapping.

Based on the development trends of nursing care in the ongoing healthcare reform, the PEST model was called into play to analyze the macro-environment of nursing development in terms of such aspects as political, economic, social-cultural, and science and technology factors. Based on such, policy suggestions are raised to tackle the following challenges, namely incomplete political and legal environment for nursing, relative shortage of nursing resources, low social recognition, and poor capability of nursing technique innovation. These suggestions aim to further improve the political and legal system for nursing, explore highly efficient nursing resource allocation, enhance nursing service capability, and nurture nursing technique innovation talents.

Objective To evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of sedative and analgesic anesthesia in surgical patients with supine and prone position .Methods Sixty female patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, aged from 18 -53 years, scheduled for elective plastic operations under sedative and analgesic anesthesia combined with local anesthesia were divided into two groups according to their surgical positions: supine group ( n=30 ) and prone group ( n=30 ) .All patients received Ⅳ dexmedetomidine ( DEX) 1 μg/kg over 15 min followed by 0.4 -0.7 μg/kg/h infusion. Both groups were administered Ⅳ midazolam 0.04 mg/kg and a continuous infusion of remifentanil of 0.1 μg/kg/min at the beginning of anesthesia .Heart rate ( HR) , mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiratory rate (RR), bispectral index (BIS) and Ramsay sedation scores ( RSS) were recorded at the following time points: before anesthesia ( T0 ) , 5 min after induction with midazolam ( T1 ) , 10 min after induction of midazolam ( T2 ) , immediately after induction with DEX( T3 ) , the beginning of local anesthesia ( T4 ) , the beginning of surgery ( T5 ) , 30 min after anesthesia induction ( T6 ) , 60 min after anesthesia induction ( T7 ) , immediately after turning off DEX infusion (T8), the end of surgery (T9).Incidences of respiratory depression, incidences of apnea, oxygen supplementation by facial mask and jaw-thrust, frequencies of body movements and additional rescue medication were also recorded .After surgery , recall of events during surgery , the visual analogue scales (VAS) for pain in PACU, the satisfaction levels of patients and surgeons were also assessed .Results No significant differences were found in MAP , SpO2 , RR, BIS, RSS scores at any time point between two groups (all P >0.05).There were no significant differences in incidences of respiratory depression , frequencies of body movements and additional rescue medication during surgery between groups ( all P>0. 05).Neither were recall of events during surgery , the visual analogue scales (VAS) for pain and the satisfaction levels of patients and surgeons after surgery (all P>0.05).The HR at time points of T0, T1, T2 in prone group were significantly higher than those in supine group (all P<0.05).Compared with the supine group , the incidences of apnea , oxygen supplementation by facial mask and jaw-thrust in prone group were significantly lower .Conclusions Sedative and analgesic anesthesia is effective and safe for patients with prone surgical position and has a lower incidence of upper airway obstruction during surgery than patients in supine surgical position .
