Objective: To compare the biological characteristics of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived platelet exosomes (hiPSC-Plt-Exos) with those of conventional apheresis platelet exosomes (Plt-Exos), specifically focusing on their differential abilities to enhance the proliferation and migration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). Methods: Exosomes were isolated from hiPSC-derived Plt and apheresis Plt concentrate using size exclusion chromatography. These exosomes were then characterized through nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Western blotting. Co-culture experiments into hUC-MSCs were conducted with hiPSC-Plt-Exos and apheresis Plt-Exos, respectively. Their effects on the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs were assessed via cell proliferation assays and scratch tests. Results: hiPSC-Plt-Exos and apheresis Plt-Exos exhibited comparable particle sizes, morphological features (such as the characteristic cup-shaped structure), and surface markers (including CD9 and HSP70). Notably, hiPSC-Plt-Exos demonstrated a significantly greater ability to enhance the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs compared to apheresis Plt-Exos (P<0.05). These differences provide critical comparative data for their application in various clinical contexts. Conclusion: This study establishes a theoretical foundation for developing precise therapeutic strategies based on hiPSC-Plt-Exos. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of selecting the appropriate type of exosomes according to the specific disease microenvironment to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Objective:To explore the effects of G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) antagonist CID16020046 on renal fibrosis in mice, and provide a new method and idea for the treatment of renal fibrosis.Methods:(1) GPR55 overexpression and GPR55 antagonist CID16020046 were used in renal fibroblasts (NRK-49F) of rats, respectively. Meanwhile,transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was applied in the NRK-49F cells to observe the expression of fibrosis-related factors and inflammatory factors. (2) A mouse model of renal fibrosis with unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) was established in vivo. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice (20-25 g) were randomly divided into three groups according to the random number table method: sham group ( n=6), model group (UUO group, n=7), model + CID16020046 drug (UUO+CID group, n=8). The drug CID16020046 (10 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected 1 day before modeling, on the day of modeling and every day after surgery in UUO+CID group, and the corresponding dose of 0.9% normal saline was injected intraperitoneally in sham and UUO groups.The mice were sacrificed for sampling 7 days after UUO surgery, and their renal function indicators, liver transaminase, and cardiac markers were examined. Western blotting and quantitative real-time PCR were used to detect the expression of renal fibrosis-related factors and inflammatory factors. Immunohistochemistry staining, Sirius red staining and Masson trichrome staining were used to detect the pathological changes of renal tissues. Results:(1) After NRK-49F cells were stimulated by TGF-β1, the mRNA and protein expression levels of GPR55 were significantly increased (both P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mRNA expression of fibrosis-related factors fibronectin and collagen Ⅰ, and inflammatory factors interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α between TGF-β1 group and TGF-β1 + GPR55 overexpression group (all P>0.05). Compared with the TGF-β1 group, the protein expression levels of fibrosis-related factors alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and vimentin, and the mRNA expression levels of collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA were lower in the TGF-β1 + CID group (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with sham group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of GPR55 in UUO group were higher (both P<0.05). The serum creatinine in the UUO+CID group was lower compared to the UUO group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in blood urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzyme between UUO group and UUO+CID group (all P>0.05). Compared with the UUO group, the protein expression levels of renal fibrosis-related factors fibronectin, collagen Ⅰ and vimentin, and the mRNA expression levels of fibronectin, collagen Ⅰ, collagen Ⅲ and α-SMA were lower in the UUO+CID group (all P<0.05). The degree of renal tubular dilation and interstitial collagen fiber deposition in the UUO+CID group was significantly reduced compared to the UUO group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:CID16020046 can reduce serum creatinine in UUO mice, protect renal function, and simultaneously decrease the expression of fibrosis-related factors in renal fibroblasts and mouse kidney tissues, thereby alleviating renal fibrosis.

Objective:To analyze the differential expressions of proteins in aqueous humor in patients with exfoliation syndrome (XFS).Methods:A total of 20 patients were enrolled in the Department of Ophthalmology, People's Hospital of Hotan District from June 2020 to January 2021, including 10 patients with age-related cataract and 10 XFS patients combined with cataract, which were classified as cataract group and XFS group, respectively.A total of 50 to 100 μl aqueous humor was obtained in the middle of the anterior chamber through the intraoperative phacoemulsification channel.The proteins extracted from aqueous humor were analyzed by label-free quantitative proteomics technology.The cataract group was set as the control group, and the differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in XFS group were screened according to P<0.05 and fold change >1.5.Gene ontology (GO) function analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway analysis were used to explore the function and regulatory signaling pathways of DEPs in the XFS group.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Medical University Eye Hospital (No.2020KY[L]-21).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject. Results:In comparison with the cataract group, 25 DEPs were identified in the XFS group, primarily involved in cell adhesion, receptor, hydrolase, and molecular transport.Specifically, there were 14 down-regulated proteins including complement factor H-related protein 1 (CFHR1), endoplasmic reticulum chaperone BiP (HSPA5), biglycan (BGN), FRAS1-related extracellular matrix protein 2 (FREM2), hemoglobin subunit delta (HBD), hemoglobin subunit gamma-1 (HBG1), lysosomal thioesterase PPT2 (PPT2) etc., and 11 up-regulated proteins including latent-transforming growth factor beta-binding protein 2 (LTBP2), very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), laminin subunit alpha-2 (LAMA2), coagulation factor Ⅸ (F9).Among them, FREM2 was the most significantly differentially expressed protein in XFS group with consistent expression levels across individual samples.GO analysis revealed that these DEPs mainly localized to the extracellular matrix of collagen, bound globin-hemoglobin complex, plasma lipoprotein particles and lysosomes.Molecular functions and biological processes showed that HBD and HBG1 were involved in cellular detoxification, PPT2 in hydrolase activity, and BGN and LTBP2 in glycosaminoglycan binding.KEGG signaling pathway analysis indicated that CFHR1 and F9 were associated with complement and coagulation cascade pathways, and FREM2 and LAMA2 were linked to the extracellular matrix interaction pathway.Conclusions:Disease progression of XFS may be associated with changes in extracellular matrix proteins, disruption of the blood-aqueous humor barrier, and potential inflammatory responses.The significant down-regulation of FREM2 protein may be a potential biomarker for XFS.

Objective:To investigate the current status of bedside teaching at pediatric bases and existing problems in pediatric bedside teaching, and to discuss how to improve bedside teaching in pediatrics.Methods:A questionnaire on pediatric bedside teaching was administered to 475 instructors who had participated in the backbone teacher training course of pediatric standardized residency training bases in 2022. The instructors were divided into two groups according to their medical professional titles: attending physician group and associate chief physician/chief physician group. The general information, bedside teaching rate, bedside teaching difficulties, and abilities that need to be strengthened were compared between the two groups of instructors. SPSS 21.0 was used to perform the chi-square test.Results:A total of 475 instructors responded to the questionnaire. Among them, 96.84% (460/475) were from tertiary class-A hospitals; 54.11% (257/475) had more than 10 years of clinical teaching practice; and 97.26% (462/475) conducted bedside teaching, but the proportion of bedside teaching time in routine clinical teaching was low, with only 30.11% (143/475) reaching >50.00%. The main difficulties in bedside teaching in pediatrics included noisy environments at pediatric wards or clinics (75.58%, 359/475), the lack of teaching time (71.16%, 338/475), intense clinical pressure (64.63%, 307/475), poor cooperation with children (54.95%, 261/475), the presence of parents at pediatric wards or clinics (44.84%, 213/475), varying levels of qualifications of residents (41.68%, 198/475), and high pressure of scientific research (30.11%, 143/475). There were 41.20% (96/233) of the attending physicians and 28.57% (68/238) of the associate chief physicians/chief physicians spending less than 30.00% of their teaching time at the bedside, respectively, which were significantly different ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The low proportion of time spent on bedside teaching among pediatric instructors is driven by various factors such as noisy pediatric environments and the great clinical pressure of pediatric teachers.

Objective:To explore the real experience of parturients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta increta undergoing cesarean section from diagnosis to childbirth, so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment and nursing decision-making.Methods:This study was a qualitative study. From November 2022 to January 2023, purposive sampling was used to select 13 parturients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta increta in the Department of Obstetrics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University for semi-structured in-depth interviews. After collecting and organizing interview data, the Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the data, in order to understand the real experiences of parturients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta increta undergoing cesarean section.Results:The real experience of parturients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta increta undergoing cesarean section was extracted into three themes and 12 sub-themes. The first theme was the difficulties in seeking medical advice, with a complex and tortuous inner experience (the sub-themes include the unknown and fear in the early stages of diagnosis, the difficult struggle to make medical decisions, the arduous journey to protect the fetus, the physical and mental pain during the perioperative period, the joy of being born in a desperate situation, and concerns about the newborn and the new family pattern). The second theme was the personal positive coping experience during pregnancy and childbirth (the sub-themes include actively seeking disease information and professional support, quickly changing roles and completing role adaptation, evoking past experiences and reflecting resilient multipara traits). The third theme was to effectively utilize family social support (the sub-themes include trust and compliance with medical institutions to meet disease diagnosis and treatment needs, receiving professional guidance from medical and nursing staff to eliminate negative psychology and meet knowledge needs, benefiting from spouse and family support to meet life and emotional needs) .Conclusions:Parturients with pernicious placenta previa and placenta increta undergoing cesarean section can actively cope with the disease during pregnancy and childbirth, but still have negative emotions. Medical and nursing staff should promptly anticipate potential risks, provide correct information, professional guidance, and assistance to pregnant and postpartum women and their families, and eliminate their negative psychology among them.

Objective To analyze the current status of dyslipidemia among employees in a petrochemical enterprise and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 1 636 employees from a petrochemical enterprise were selected as the research subjects by the judgment sampling method. Peripheral venous blood was collected from the research subjects to detect total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low- density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in serum. The Effort-Reward Imbalance (ERI) Questionnaire was used to investigate occupational stress in the ERI model. Results The detection rate of dyslipidemia among the research subjects was 52.7%. The detection rates of abnormal total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C, and HDL-C were 35.7%, 31.4%, 24.3%, and 10.0%, respectively. The detection rate of high occupational stress among the research subjects was 26.3%. The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risks of dyslipidemia in overweight and obese employees were higher than that of normal body mass [ odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 2.111 (1.692-2.634) and 2.346 (1.591-3.458), both P<0.01]. The risk of dyslipidemia in lean body mass employees was lower than those with normal body mass [OR (95%CI) was 0.130 (0.030-0.564), P<0.05]. The risk of dyslipidemia in smokers was higher than that in non-smokers [OR (95%CI) was 1.462 (1.124-1.902), P<0.01]. Employees with 20-30 years and ≥ 30 years of service had higher risks of dyslipidemia than those with <10 years of service [OR (95%CI) were 1.411 (1.038-1.919) and 1.869 (1.202-2.906), respectively, both P<0.05]. The risk of dyslipidemia among employees with high effort level of occupational stress in ERI model was higher than those with low effort level [OR (95%CI) was 1.351(1.045-1.745), P<0.05]. Conclusion Dyslipidemia prevalence is relatively high among the petrochemical enterprise employees. Overweight, obesity, smoking, long service years, and occupational stress in ERI model are influencing factors of dyslipidemia. To prevent dyslipidemia, it is necessary to strengthen blood lipid monitoring and lifestyle intervention in personnel with overweight, obesity, smoking, long service years, and occupational stress in ERI model.

【Objective】 To analyze the data of clinical blood transfusion quality control supervision in Shanghai, so as to provide reference for the improvement of clinical blood transfusion quality management in hospitals at all levels. 【Methods】 The data of clinical blood transfusion quality control supervision in hospitals at all levels from 2016 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed to obtain the characteristics and indicators in the quality management. 【Results】 The overall level of clinical blood transfusion quality management in Shanghai steadily improved from 2016 to 2021 (F=3.82, P<0.01), and the management level of different hospitals varied significantly (F=9.00, P<0.01). In 2021, the full compliance rates of housing facilities, instruments and equipment, diagnostic reports and medical record writing among the third-level indicators of clinical blood transfusion quality management in hospitals at all levels were as follows: 86.49%(32/37), 100% (37/37)and 43.24%(16/37) for tertiary comprehensive hospitals; 61.11%(11/18), 88.89%(16/18) and 50.00% (9/18)for tertiary specialized hospitals; 60.87%(14/23), 78.26%(18/23)and 47.83%(11/23) for secondary comprehensive hospitals, ; 60.00%(9/15), 66.67%(10/15), 40.00%(6/15) for secondary specialized hospitals; 52.38%(11/21), 38.10%(8/21), 42.86%(9/21) for private hospitals. 【Conclusion】 The characteristics of clinical blood transfusion quality management in hospitals at all levels in Shanghai differed significantly, with different strengths and weaknesses. Hospitals should improve blood transfusion management in terms of housing facilities, personnel management, system process as well as diagnostic reports and medical record writing, in order to enhance the clinical blood transfusion quality management.

Objective:To analyze the rash characteristics and diagnosis and treatment process of measles infection in patients with diabetes mellitus and psoriasis, to reduce the clinical diagnosis and treatment delay of such patients.Methods:The clinical data of a patient with diabetes combined with psoriasis and measles infection who was diagnosed and treated in The First Hospital of Yulin in April 2015 were analyzed.Results:The patient was admitted to hospital due to polydipsia and polyuria for 3 years and fever for 3 days. Hypoglycemic and anti-inflammatory treatment after admission was not good. On the third day after hospitalization, rash on the trunk and the extremities was seen. The patient had a history of measles infection. Based on clinical practice, Measles morbillivirus infection was not excluded, and Measles morbillivirus infection was confirmed by pathogen inspection. Measles reinfection was considered to be caused by variation of Measles morbillivirus. The atypical rash formed because of the patient's need for long-term treatment with Acitretin capsule and capotriol for psoriasis. After adjusting the antibiotic treatment, hypoglycemia and antiviral therapy were given, the body temperature was normal and the rash gradually subsided.Conclusion:For patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and psoriasis, if they have a fever, they should be considered comprehensively to guard against re-infection caused by measles virus mutation. Timely etiological diagnosis is performed to avoid missed diagnosis and delayed treatment.

Objective:To observe the effect of escitalopram combined with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on efficacy and attention function in patients with first-episode unipolar depression.Methods:Fifty-two first-episode initial-naive unipolar depression patients were enrolled in Department of Neurology of Guangzhou First People's Hospital from March 2022 to April 2023 were chosen. They were randomly allocated to active stimulation group ( n=27) and sham stimulation group ( n=25); both were treated with escitalopram, and active treatment or sham treatment in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were given for 4 weeks (5 d per week, 20 d totally). Before treatment and 2 and 4 weeks after treatment, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD)-24 was used to evaluate depressive symptoms, and Birmingham Cognitive Screening Scale-Chinese (BCoS-C) was used to evaluate the attention function. Results:(1) In terms of depressive symptoms: HAMD-24 scores of the active stimulation group 2 and 4 weeks after treatment (20.63±2.73, 15.85±2.43) were significantly lower than those before treatment (25.74±2.68, P<0.05); HAMD-24 scores of sham stimulation group 4 weeks after treatment were also significantly lower than those before treatment ([20.48±2.33] vs. [25.80±2.57], P<0.05); HAMD-24 scores of the active stimulation group 2 and 4 weeks after treatment were significantly lower than those of sham stimulation group ( P<0.05). (2) In terms of auditory attention indicators: total correct number (selective attention) in active stimulation group 4 weeks after treatment was significantly larger than that before treatment (51.74±1.38 vs. 47.48±1.60), and the sustained index (sustained attention) was significantly lower than that before treatment (0.74±0.71 vs. 4.37±1.15, P<0.05); total correct number in active stimulation group 4 weeks after treatment was significantly larger than that in sham stimulation group (48.00±1.66), and the sustained index was significantly lower than that in sham stimulation group (3.72±1.28, P<0.05). Conclusion:Combined with escitalopram, rTMS can more effectively mitigate the depressive symptoms in first-episode unipolar depression patients, and depressive symptoms improve more quickly than attentional function.

Objective:To explore the real psychological experience of nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province participating in flood disaster rescue, with a view to providing a reference basis for the establishment of disaster nursing training system and the psychological intervention of rescue nurses.Methods:From August to September 2021, 13 nurses who participated in the flood disaster rescue in two ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals in Zhengzhou were selected for semi-structured in-depth interviews using the objective sampling. The qualitative research phenomenological method was used to sort out, summarize and analyze the data.Results:A total of three themes were extracted, including the negative psychological experience when the disaster occurred, the positive response experience during the flood disaster rescue process, and the self-reflection and cognitive after the disaster situation stabilized.Conclusions:The nurses who participate in the flood disaster rescue mainly have negative psychological experience in the early stage of the flood disaster rescue. The sense of professional pride and social responsibility in the process of flood disaster rescue impels them to adopt positive coping strategies and finally achieve the growth of psychology and ability. The managers should pay attention to the psychological and social support of the disaster rescue nurses, do well in the popularization of flood knowledge and the training of disaster rescue skills in advance, so as to improve the emergency response ability and rescue practice ability of the flood rescue nurses.
