BackgroundAs a high prevalence disorder， schizophrenia has caused significant burden to family and society due to the impairment of occupational and social function. Currently， the dominant vocational training model in China follows a paternalistic， clinician-led decision-making approach. Although it improves patients' social function to some extent， it undermines their autonomy and treatment adherence. Therefore， it is urgently necessary to explore a new intervention method to enhance treatment compliance and social function in patients. ObjectiveTo explore the impact of shared decision-making oriented vocational training on social function in hospitalized schizophrenia patients， so as to provide references for rehabilitation interventions. MethodsA total of 68 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia according to the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） criteria were consecutively enrolled from January to June 2024 at The Third People's Hospital of Wenjiang Distric， Chengdu. Participants were randomly allocated into the research group （n=34） and the control group （n=34） using a random number table method. Both groups received routine rehabilitation training， while the research group received shared decision-making oriented vocational training for 12 weeks， 2 times a week for 2 hours each time. Before and at the 4^th and 12^th week of intervention， two groups were evaluated by General Self-Efficacy Scale （GSES）， Stigma Scale for Mental Illness （SSMI）， Scale of Social function of Psychosis Inpatients （SSFPI） and Inpatient Psychiatric Rehabilitation Outcome Scale （IPROS）. ResultsA total of 63 participants completed the study， with 30 cases in the research group and 33 cases in the control group. Repeated measures ANOVA revealed statistically significant time effects and interaction effects in both groups for GSES， SSMI， SSFPI and IPROS scores （F=20.451， 16.022； 26.193， 12.944； 23.957， 5.023； 11.776， 3.985， P<0.05 or 0.01）， while no significant group effects were observed （F=0.188， 0.742， 1.878， 0.474， P>0.05）. At the 12^th week of intervention， there were statistically significant differences in GSES， SSMI， SSFPI and IPROS scores between the two groups. ConclusionShared decision-making oriented vocational training may help to improve social function in patients with schizophrenia. ［Funded by 2023 Chengdu Medical Research Project （number， 2023468）］

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of microRNA-10b(miR-10b)on idiopathic short stature(ISS).Methods A total of 54 children with ISS and 54 healthy children were collected.The serum expression of miR-10b was detected by RT-qPCR,and the relationship between serum miR-10b expression and clinical data of children with ISS was analyzed.miR-10b inhibitor,si-TGFBR1 and their negative control transfection C28/I2 cells were used.CCK-8 experimental detection was used to detect C28/I2 cell proliferation.Western blot assay was used to detect gnome related transcription factor 2(RUNX2),collagen type X alpha 1 chain(COL10A1),transforming growth factor beta receptor 1(TGFBR1),SMAD3 and pSMAD3 protein expression.The target of miR-10b was screened in StarBase database,and the targeting relationship between miR-10b and TGFBR1 was verified by dual luciferase reporter gene assay.Results The serum expression of miR-10b was higher in the ISS group than that of the healthy control group,and the higher the miR-10b expression,the more obvious the decrease of child height,IGF-1 and alkaline phosphatase(P＜0.05).Compared with the NC group,the cell proliferation ability and RUNX2,COL10A1,TGFBR1,and pSMAD3 protein expression were up-regulated in the miR-10b inhibitor group(P＜0.05).StarBase database suggested that miR-10b had a binding site of TGFBR1,and dual luciferase reporter gene assay confirmed that TGFBR1 interacted with miR-10b(P＜0.05).Compared with the si-NC group,the expression of TGFBR1 was down-regulated and the cell proliferation ability was decreased in the si-TGFBR1 group(P＜0.05).Conclusion miR-10b inhibits chondrocyte proliferation and hypertrophy in idiopathic short stature by targeting TGFBR1/SMAD3 pathway.

【Objective】 To investigate the clinical application of heparinase-modified TEG (hmTEG) in evaluating coagulation status and monitoring anticoagulant therapy in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19. 【Methods】 The clinical data of severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 confirmed to be infected with novel coronary disease (SARS-CoV-2) from December 2022 to May 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into therapeutic dose group and prophylactic dose group according to the initial dose of enoxaparin. The changes of platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, D-dimer, TEG and hmTEG before and after heparin treatment were compared between the two groups, so as to evaluate the changes of coagulation function and bleeding risk of COVID-19 severe non-ICU patients after anticoagulation with different doses of heparin. 【Results】 A total of 179 severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19 were enrolled in this study, including 102 patients in therapeutic dose group and 77 patients in prophylactic dose group. Before receiving heparin anticoagulation, except for age(63.4±11.6 vs 59.8±9.1) D-dimer(678 ng/mL vs 621 ng/mL) and MA values [(69.1±10.2)mm vs (65.6±8.5)mm], there were no statistical differences in platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, fibrinogen, R value, K time, α angle and coagulation index (CI) between the therapeutic dose group and the prophylactic dose group (P>0.05). After receiving heparin anticoagulation, there were significant differences in CKR value [(12.2±4.1)min vs (10.2±3.3)min] and CKHR value [(8.1±3.2)min vs (7.1±2.6)min] between therapeutic dose group and prophylactic dose group (P<0.05), but no significant differences in other parameters between groups (P>0.05). Meanwhile, the proportion of heparin overdose in the therapeutic dose group was significantly higher than that in the prophylactic dose group 15.69%(16/102) vs 5.19%(4/77)(P<0.05). However, there was no difference in the incidence of VTE events 2.35 %(2/85) vs 2.78%(2/72), gastrointestinal bleeding 2.35%(2/85) vs 1.39%(1/72), ICU admission 4.71%(4/85) vs 4.17%(3/72) and death events 3.53%(3/85) vs 2.78%(2/72) between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 In the current epidemic trend of COVID-19, in order to reduce the occurrence of bleeding events, the heparin dose should be selected more carefully in the prevention of thrombosis in severe non-ICU patients with COVID-19. The individualized assessment of bleeding risk by hmTEG is more conducive to the adjustment and control of heparin dose.

Objective:To compare the effectiveness of cylindrical-shaped and conical-shaped cuff catheters for airway closure using different pressure measurement methods at the lowest safe pressure and to guide the clinical application.Methods:Twenty-four patients with endotracheal intubation admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Guangxi Medical University Cancer Hospital from December 2021 to January 2022 were enrolled. Leakage test in vitro was performed on the secretion on the patients' cuff. The needle and plunger from 20 mL syringe was separated, the syringe was sealed with adhesive, and the syringe nozzle was filled thoroughly to create a tracheal model. Consecutively, both cylindrical-shaped and conical-shaped cuff catheters were inserted into the simulated trachea, and the cuff pressure was calibrated to 20 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O≈0.098 kPa) before commencing the experiment. The viscosity of the secretion on the patients' cuff was classified (grade Ⅰ was watery subglottic secretion, grade Ⅱ was thick subglottic secretion, grade Ⅲ was gel-like subglottic secretion), and the same viscosity secretion was injected into the catheter cuff. Utilizing a self-control approach, intermittent pressure measurement was initially conducted on both the cylindrical-shaped and conical-shaped cuff by improved pressure measurement method (intermittent pressure measurement group), followed by continuous pressure measurement experiment (continuous pressure measurement group). The leakage volume of the three viscosity subglottic secretions and the values of cuff pressure measurement of different shaped cuff catheters at 4, 6, 8 hours of inflation were recorded. Results:A total of 180 retention samples were extracted from 24 patients with tracheal intubation during ventilation, with 90 samples in each of the two groups using different pressure measurement methods, and 30 samples of retention materials with different viscosities in each group. In the intermittent pressure measurement group, at 4 hours of inflation, all samples of secretion with grade Ⅰ and grade Ⅱ on cylindrical-shaped cuff leaked, while 3 samples of secretion with grade Ⅲ also leaked. For conical-shaped cuff, 28 samples of secretion with grade Ⅰ leaked, only 2 samples of secretion with grade Ⅱ leaked, and there was no leak for secretion with grade Ⅲ. At 6 hours of inflation, all samples of the three viscosity secretions on different shaped cuffs leaked. The leakage was gradually increased with the prolongation of inflation time. In the continuous pressure measurement group, at 4 hours of inflation, all samples of secretion with grade Ⅰ on cylindrical-shaped cuff leaked, while 29 samples of secretion with grade Ⅱ leaked, and there was no leak for secretion with grade Ⅲ. For the conical-shaped cuff, 26 samples of secretion with grade Ⅰ leaked, and there was no leak for secretion with grade Ⅱ and grade Ⅲ. At 6 hours of inflation, the conical-shaped cuff still had no leak for secretion with grade Ⅲ. As the inflation time prolonged, the leakage of subglottic secretion on different shaped cuffs in both groups was gradually increased. At 8 hours of inflation, all samples experienced leakage, but the leakage of subglottic secretion on different shaped cuffs in the continuous pressure measurement group was significantly reduced as compared with the intermittent pressure measurement group [leakage for secretion with grade Ⅲ (mL): 1.00 (0.00, 1.25) vs. 2.00 (1.00, 2.00) on the cylindrical-shaped cuff, 1.00 (0.00, 1.00) vs. 2.00 (2.00, 2.00) on the conical-shaped cuff, both P < 0.01]. The values of pressure measurement of cuffs with different shapes at different time points of inflation in the continuous pressure measurement group were within the set range (20-21 cmH 2O). The cuff pressure at 4 hours of inflation in the intermittent pressure measurement group was significantly lower than the initial value (cmH 2O: 18.3±0.6 vs. 20.0±0.0 in the cylindrical-shaped cuff, 18.4±0.6 vs. 20.0±0.0 in the conical-shaped cuff, both P < 0.01), and the cuff pressure in both shaped cuffs showed a significant decrease tendency as inflation time prolonged. However, there was no statistically significant difference in values of pressure measurement between the different shaped cuff catheters. Conclusions:Continuous pressure monitoring devices can maintain the effective sealing of conical-shaped cuff catheters at the lowest safe pressure. When using an improved pressure measurement method for intermittent pressure measurement and/or using a cylindrical cuff catheter, the target pressure should be set at 25-30 cmH 2O, and the cuff pressure should be adjusted regularly.

Literatures were searched from the establishment of the database to August 14, 2022. Compared pain relief, clinical response to initial treatment, complications, endocrine/exocrine insufficiency, length of hospital stay and mean number of procedures between the two groups. Manager 5.4.1 software was used for data analysis. Odds ratio ( OR) or weighted mean difference ( WMD) was calculated with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results:A total of seven studies were included, including three randomized controlled trials and four retrospective studies with 708 patients. There were 513 males and 195 females. Endoscopic interventions were performed in 364 patients and 344 patients underwent surgery. The results of meta-analysis showed that the total pain relief rate ( OR=0.38, 95% CI: 0.24-0.59) and the complete pain relief rate ( OR=0.47, 95% CI: 0.29-0.77), short-term (1-1.5 years) pain relief rate ( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.24-0.74), clinical relief rate ( OR=0.23, 95% CI: 0.10-0.55) were better than the endoscopic group, and could significantly reduce the number of reoperation ( WMD=1.64, 95% CI: 0.89-2.40), and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences in complications, new-onset endocrine insufficiency, new-onset exocrine insufficiency and length of hospital stay between the endoscopy group and the surgical group (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Surgical intervention is superior to endoscopic treatment in controlling pain associated with chronic pancreatitis and in clinical relief after the first treatment, and can effectively reduce the number of reoperations.

Objective:To explore the application of step-by-step mentorship combined with individualized assessment in practical nursing skill training in higher vocational colleges.Methods:A total of 219 nursing students of Class 2020 were selected from a higher vocational college; they were randomly divided into control group (107 students) and experimental group (112 students), both of which were offered nursing training courses in the first semester. The control group was offered conventional teaching, while the experimental group was offered step-by-step mentorship combined with individualized assessment. The two groups were compared for post-training assessment scores of theoretical knowledge and practical skills and pre-training and post-training comprehensive nursing ability as well as their recognition of the teaching methods after training. The t-test and chi-square test were performed using SPSS 22.0. Results:The post-training assessment scores of theoretical knowledge and practical skills were significantly higher in both subitem score [(89.68±3.58) vs. (82.56±3.35)] and total score [(91.75±3.01) vs. (85.36±2.58)] in the experimental group than in the control group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in pre-training comprehensive nursing ability between the two groups, while the post-training comprehensive nursing ability scores were significantly higher in both subitem score and total score [(86.53±2.61) vs. (80.32±2.31)] in the experimental group than in the control group ( P<0.05). After the training, students in the experimental group showed increased recognition of the teaching methods in stimulating their learning interest and initiative, improving their self-learning ability, improving their comprehensive literacy, improving their ability to apply theoretical knowledge, and improving their clinical thinking ability compared with the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of step-by-step mentorship combined with individualized assessment in practical nursing skill training in higher vocational colleges can improve students' academic performance and comprehensive nursing ability and increase their recognition of the teaching methods, thus making it worthwhile to be widely adopted.
