Objective:To develop the Clinical Nurse Extra Task Load Scale and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the job demand-control model, a primary scale was formed through literature search and qualitative interviews, as well as Delphi consultation and pre-survey. In September 2023, 813 clinical nurses from First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University and Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected for reliability and validity testing. In October 2023, 1 050 clinical nurses from First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University and Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected for investigation, and the reliability and validity of the scale were tested.Results:The final Clinical Nurse Extra Task Load Scale included two dimensions and a total of 12 items. The item-level content validity index was 0.86 to 1.00, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.84. Exploratory factor analysis extracted two common factors, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 74.55%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that χ 2/ df was 1.613, GFI was 0.928, CFI was 0.971, NFI was 0.928, IFI was 0.971, and RMSEA was 0.024. Cronbach's α coefficient of the work environment demand dimension was 0.897, Cronbach's α coefficient of individual behavior restriction was 0.955, Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.950, and the split-half reliability was 0.850. Conclusions:The Clinical Nurse Extra Task Load Scale developed has a good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate and quantify the extra task load for clinical nurses.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage during endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal lesions.Methods:Data of 386 patients with colorectal lesions, who underwent ESD at The Third People's Hospital of Datong and its cooperative hospital, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, from December 2019 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the hemorrhage group ( n=85) and the non-hemorrhage group ( n=301) according to intraoperative hemorrhage. The correlationship of patients'basic information, lesion-related factors and hemorrhage during colorectal ESD was analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify the risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage during ESD. The risk predictive model of intraoperative hemorrhage during ESD was established according to the screened risk factors, and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive model. Results:Univariate logistic regression showed that a history of diabetes ( OR=2.340, P<0.05), a history of coronary atherosclerotic heart diseases ( OR=3.100, P<0.05), the lesion located in the rectum ( OR=3.272, P<0.05), longer lesion ( OR=1.093, P<0.05), wider lesion ( OR=1.057, P<0.05), larger lesion ( OR=1.126, P<0.05), depressed lesion ( OR=6.128, P<0.05), the laterally spreading lesion ( OR=2.651, P<0.05), the lesion infiltrated into the SM-S layer ( OR=0.088, P<0.05), the lesion infiltrated into the SM-D layer ( OR=0.174, P<0.05), the diameter of hemorrhage vessels 0.5~<1.0 times of the diameter of incision knife ( OR=246.854, P<0.05), the postoperative pathology as early cancer ( OR=7.000, P<0.05) were risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage during ESD. Considering the quantitative relationship between the length, the width and the area of lesions, multi-factor models were constructed using the length and area of lesions respectively. Forward stepwise regression was used to screen variables and determine the final model, and the results showed that a history of coronary atherosclerotic heart diseases, the depressed lesion, the longer lesion, the larger lesion, the diameter of hemorrhage vessels 0.5~<1.0 times of the diameter of the incision knife were independent risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage during ESD. The two modeling results of the lesion length and the lesion area were very similar. Therefore, lesion length was recommended to describe lesions in clinical practice. Conclusion:A history of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, the depressed lesion, the longer lesion, the larger lesion, the diameter of vessels 0.5~<1.0 times of that of the incision knife are independent risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage during ESD.

With in-depth studies on the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, treatment, and prognosis of liver cirrhosis in recent years, there have been great changes in staging and treatment concepts among scholars in China and globally. Besides the traditional staging system of compensated and decompensated liver cirrhosis, liver cirrhosis can be divided into five stages based on ascites, variceal bleeding, and severe infection, which highlights the features of this disease in different disease stages and this provides potential targets and basis for treatment. At present, the comprehensive management of liver cirrhosis, including etiological treatment, treatment targeting key pathogenesis and major complications, nutritional support, exercise guidance, and lifestyle adjustment (smoking cessation, alcohol withdrawal, and improvement of oral hygiene), is the key to delaying disease progression and improving prognosis, and liver transplantation remains the most effective approach for end-stage liver cirrhosis.

Objective:To investigate the current status of satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, as well as the association between satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university.Methods:The 2017 National Medical Student Satisfaction Survey Database was used. A total of 1 944 professional postgraduate students in the second or third year, as well as those with delayed graduation, from 59 postgraduate training colleges and universities who participated in clinical internship were selected. SPSS 20.0 software was used for analysis; descriptive analysis was used to describe satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university; factor analysis was adopted to calculate comprehensive satisfaction score to reduce the number of variables; logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the association of general information and satisfaction with training program with loyalty to the university.Results:The professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine had a degree of 60.44% of loyalty to the university. Satisfaction with training program reflected low satisfaction at each link of the training program. For every 1-point increase in the comprehensive satisfaction scores of the four links of courses, research training, college support, and practice, the loyalty to the university was increased to 2.11, 1.83, 1.77, and 1.75 times as the original, respectively, of the baseline scores.Conclusion:There is still room for further improvement in the satisfaction with training program and the loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, and the satisfaction with training program is closely associated with the loyalty to the university. Colleges and universities need to take measures for courses, practice, research training, and college support, so as to improve satisfaction and thus enhance loyalty to the university.

Objective:To study preoperative MRI imaging and its enhanced mode on tumor features in predicting microvascular invasion (MVI) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The clinical data of patients with a solitary HCC who underwent MRI examination followed by surgical resection at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from January 2017 to June 2019 were studied. The patients were divided into the MVI (+ ) and MVI (-) groups according to the findings on postoperative pathological diagnosis. The relationship between the rates of MVI and MRI tumor features including diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) signal, enhancement mode, enhancement type and other imaging characteristics were analysed.Results:Of 84 patients with HCC enrolled into this study, there were 65 males and 19 females. Their age (Mean±SD) was (54.94±11.51) years. MVI (+ ) was found in 46 patients and MVI (-) in 38 patients. The maximum tumor diameters (Mean±SD) of the two groups were (7.08±3.45) cm and (4.28±2.47) cm ( P<0.01). Single-factor analysis and comparison of imaging characteristics of the two groups of patients showed tumor DWI signal, tumor encapsulation, enhancement mode, tumor edge smoothness, abnormal enhancement around tumors, and intratumoral arteries were significantly different ( P<0.05); There were no significant differences in T 1WI signals, T 2WI signals, tumor periphery, and enhancement types between groups. After inputting MVI(+ ) as a risk factor into the logistic regression model, tumor maximum diameters >6.33 cm, type 3/4 enhancement mode, and unsmoothness of tumor edge were independent risk factors (all P<0.05). Through combined diagnosis using ROC curve analysis with a cut-off value of 0.53, the area under the curve was 0.881, the sensitivity 0.870, specificity 0.789, and the Youden index 0.659. Conclusion:The multivariate logistic regression model and combined diagnosis using ROC curve analysis improved the diagnostic efficacy of MVI in its prediction of HCC on imaging studies. The risk predictors were easy to use and to promote in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the radiation doses from head and chest CT examinations of children in Ningxia, and provide basic data for the optimization of CT radiation doses to children of different ages.Methods:By using stratified cluster sampling method , the dose parameters on head and chest CT scanning, CTDI vol and DLP for the children under 15 years old were sampled within 1-2 weeks from hospitals at different levels in different regions of Ningxia for the calculation of effective doses. The 75th percentile (P75) of CTDI vol and DLP was compared with those recommended by other countries. All children included four age groups: up to 1 year old, 1 to 5 years, 6 to 10 years, 11 to 15 years. Results:There were 39 hospitals and 47 CT scanners in this survey, and 1 134 head scanning and 636 chest scanning were investigating. The 75th percentile (P75) of CTDI vol and DLP for head scanning were 44.2 mGy and 456.2 mGy·cm for those up to 1 year old; 57.2 mGy and 659.6 mGy·cm for 1 to 5 years old, 61.1 mGy and 668.7 mGy·cm for 6-10 years old, and 63.6 mGy and 849.3 mGy·cm for 11-15 years old, respectively. The 75th percentile (P75) of CTDI vol and DLP for chest scanning were 5.0 mGy and 89.2 mGy·cm for those up to 1 year old, 5.9 mGy and 124.8 mGy·cm for 1 to 5 years old, 6.0 mGy and 167.9 mGy·cm for 6 to 10 years, and 7.1 mGy and 235.0 mGy·cm for 11 to 15 years old, respectively. Conclusions:The chest CT radiation dose to children in Ningxia is close to the reported values, but the head CT radiation dose is relatively high in all age groups, especially in infants. The optimization and regulation of head CT radiation doses to children in Ningxia should be strengthened. It is high time to increase dose awareness for pediatricians and radiologists and raise awareness of radiation-related risks.

Objective To analyze the current status of research competitiveness of medical subjects in China.Methods Analyzing the fund of Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in 2017 and using the Range ratio and Theil Index to describe the dispersion and source of difference.Regional research competitiveness of Chinese medical subjects is measured by the attraction and accumulation capacity of NSFC.Results The research competitiveness of medical subjects in East China and South China are stronger,and those in the Northwest are weaker.The distribution of medical funds mainly originated from the interior (88.88％),among which the East China and North China are the two regions with the largest contribution rate.In terms of provinces,Shanghai and Beijing have a much higher concentration of medical funds than other provinces.Condusions The Research competitiveness in inter-regional medical subjects in China is quite different,and the differences mainly stem from the competition of internal provinces;the degree of advantages of medical subjects in regions is different,and there are medical research centers in ever regions.

Objectives? To describe the human resource allocation of ophthalmic nurses in China, and to compare the differences based on the ophthalmic nurse availability among different regions so as to put forward policy recommendations. Methods? We used the latest data of China Ophthalmic Competency Resource Survey in 2015 and China Population and Employment Statistics Yearbook to describe the quantity, education backgrounds and professional titles of ophthalmology nurses in different regions of China. Population-weighted quartiles of the county-level number were defined and used to analyze the differences in education backgrounds and professional titles among different regions and different levels of availability. Results? By the end of 2014, the number of ophthalmic nurses was 3.19 per 100 000. The eastern part had 30% more nurses than the western and the urban area had 285% more than the rural area. The ratio of ophthalmology doctors to ophthalmic nurses is 1∶1.13 while the eastern area had the lowest ratio. Most of the ophthalmic nurses held post-secondary diploma and only entry-level titles. The availability of ophthalmic nurses in the east China was better than any other parts. It was easier to get an ophthalmic nurse in the cities than in rural areas. And the condition got worst in western rural districts. The proportion of nurses with a bachelor's degree went higher with the increase in availability, while this trend reverted with regard to the proportion of senior titled nurses. With the same availability, the quality of human resources in western and rural areas is the worst. Conclusions? The resource allocation of ophthalmic nurses in China has gradually improved, but there are still problems such as regional inequality and large urban-rural gap. The availability analysis can show the inter-regional difference in terms of the quantity of ophthalmic nurses in a more detailed manner, such that the situations in the urban and rural areas are in extremely differentiated states; The quality of ophthalmic nurses in China needs to be further improved, and the quality difference will further aggravate the imbalance of resource allocation.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and risk factors of cirrhotic patients complicated with infections. Methods The clinical and laboratory characteristics of cirrhotic patients complicated with infections hospitalized from April 2014 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Relevant risk factors for infection and mortality were explored. Results The overall incidence of infections was 17.6％ in 1670 hospitalized cirrhotic patients. Among the recruited 208 patients in this study, alcoholic, viral hepatitis B or C and autoimmune liver diseases accounted for 29.8％ (62/208), 26.0％ (54/208), and 22.1％ (46/208), respectively. The most common infection site was respiratory tract (70.2％ ), followed by urinary tract, intestinal and intra-abdomen. Forty-six pathogens were isolated from 32 patients, including 22 (47.8％ ) Gram negative bacteria, 16 (34.8％ ) Gram positive bacteria and 2(4.3％ ) mycobacterium tuberculosis, 5 (10.9％) fungi and 1 (2.2％) mycoplasma. The mortality in patients with nosocomial infections (16.7％,7/42) was higher than that in patients with community-acquired infections (6.0％,10/166, P=0.025). All 17 deaths occurred in decompensated cirrhosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that hepatic encephalopathy and prothrombin time were independent risk factors of mortality. Conclusions Patients with decompensated cirrhosis are more susceptible to infections. Hepatic encephalopathy and prothrombin time are independent risk factors for death.

Background and objective It has been proven that increase of the awareness level of lung cancer preven-tion and control could enhance participation of lung cancer screening of lung cancer high risk group. hTe aim of this study is to investigate the awareness level of lung cancer prevention and control and the effect of individual characteristics on lung cancer awareness, and to provide evidence for comprehensive lung cancer prevention in high risk areas of lung cancer. Methods Staffs of Tianjin Dagang Oil Field who participate low dose CT (LDCT) lung cancer screening by cluster sampling or according to voluntary principle were surveyed, data of lung cancer awareness were collected by questionnaire. Results A total of 1,633 valid questionnaires were collected. hTe average age of respondents was 60.08±6.58. Most participants were males (82.2%) while female only accounted for 17.8%. hTe proportions of awareness about lung cancer in China, risk factors, screening methods and the knowledge of health examination were 64.5%, 77.1%, 43.7%, 49.6%respectively. Result of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that education level, smoking (pack-year), age, prior tuberculosis were the inlfuencing factors of lung cancer awareness with adjusted Ors for education and age level as of 0.567 (95%CI:0.439-0.733) and 1.373 (95%CI:1.084-1.739) respectively. 80.3%of the participants can accept health examination once a year, while the ability to pay the medical expenses was not high. hTe inlfuencing factors of health examination willingness were gender, age, income, the knowledge of lung cancer. Conclusion Education level and smoking affect the awareness of lung cancer prevention and control, health education for lung cancer should be conducted especially in population with low education level. Comprehensive lung cancer control in high risk areas should combined lung cancer screening, tobacco control and health education.
