Objective:To explore the relationship between platform leadership, perceived overqualification, job crafting and career calling of clinical nurses, and provide references for formulating occupational calling strategies for clinical nurses.Methods:A total of 488 clinical nurses from Qingdao Hiser Hospital Affiliated of Qingdao University(Qingdao Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital), Shandong University Qilu Hospital, and Qingdao Municipal Hospital were selected as the study subjects by the convenience sampling method from April to May 2023. A general data questionnaire, Platform Leadership Scale, Perceived Overqualification Scale, Job Crafting Scale, and Career Calling Scale were used to conduct a cross-sectional investigation on the research objects, and the relationship and mediating effect between platform leadership, perceived overqualification, job crafting, and career calling were analyzed.Results:Among the 488 clinical nurses, 79 were males and 409 were females, aged 23-51 (30.37 ± 6.40) years old. The scores of platform leadership, perceived overqualification, job crafting and career calling of clinical nurses were (86.12 ± 9.99), (21.79 ± 7.29), (70.61 ± 14.54) and (38.70 ± 7.54) points, respectively. The total effect of platform leadership on work engagement was 0.316. The mediating path of platform leadership to career calling included platform leadership→perceived overqualification→career calling; platform leadership→job crafting→career calling; platform leadership→perceived overqualification→job crafting→career calling. Three mediating effects accounted for 17.99%, 9.50% and 4.56% of the total effect, respectively.Conclusions:There is a chain-mediating effect of perceived overqualification and work remodeling on the relationship between platform leadership and the career calling of clinical nurses. Nursing managers should implement platform leadership to alleviate clinical nurses ′ perceived overqualification, improve job crafting, and then improve the level of clinical nurses ′ career calling.

Objective To investigate the determinants of linezolid-associated neurological adverse reactions in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and develop a risk prediction model for such adverse events.Methods A prospective cohort study design was employed to select 120 patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis who received a chemotherapy regimen containing linezolid at Guangzhou Chest Hospital from April 2023 to January 2024 as the study population.Clinical data,adverse reactions,and plasma concentration of linezolid were collected during fasting and at 2 hours post-medication.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were conducted to identify factors influencing linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.Furthermore,a prediction model for such adverse reactions was developed,and its predictive efficacy and calibration ability were evaluated using ROC analysis.Results Re-treatment(OR=2.540,P=0.028),coexistence of cavities(OR=4.092,P=0.021),anemia(OR=10.921,P=0.005),and Cmin≥0.7665 mg/L(OR=6.813,P<0.001)are independent risk factors for the occurrence of linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.The prediction model,based on these four factors,exhibits an AUC of 0.851(95%CI:0.774～0.929),accompanied by a Youden index of 0.590,a sensi-tivity of 66.7%,and a specificity of 92.3%.Moreover,the prediction model demonstrates excellent calibration ability.(Hosmer-lemeshow χ2=8.719,P=0.273).Conclusion In MDR/RR-TB patients,the presence of cavita-tion,retreatment,and anemia may confer a heightened risk of linezolid-related neurological adverse reactions.A risk prediction model incorporating these four indicators demonstrates significant predictive value for the occurrence of such adverse events.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of body mass index (BMI) on the short-term effectiveness of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in the treatment of varus knee arthritis. METHODS: The clinical data of 84 patients (84 knees) with varus knee arthritis treated with HTO between May 2016 and August 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. According to BMI, the patients were divided into normal group (32 patients in group A, BMI<25 kg/m ²), overweight group (27 patients in group B, BMI>30 kg/m ²), and obese group (25 patients in group C, BMI>30 kg/m ²). The BMI of groups A, B, and C were (23.35±0.89), (26.65±1.03), and (32.05±1.47) kg/m ², respectively. There was no significant difference ( P>0.05) in gender, age, surgical side, disease duration, and preoperative Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, knee range of motion, and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) between groups. The operation time, intraoperative dominant blood loss, and the decrease of hemoglobin on the 3rd day after operation were recorded and compared between groups. The improvement of knee joint function and pain status were evaluated by knee joint HSS score, knee range of motion, and VAS score before and after operation, and measuring the HKA of patients on X-ray film. During the follow-up, the X-ray films of the knee joint were reexamined to observe the position of the internal fixator and the healing of osteotomy. RESULTS: All patients completed the operation successfully and were followed up 8-40 months (mean, 19.3 months). There was no significant difference in follow-up time, operation time, intraoperative dominant blood loss, and the decrease of hemoglobin on the 3rd day after operation between groups ( P>0.05). No operative complications such as severe vascular or nerve injury occurred. After operation, deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities occurred in 1 case in groups A and B respectively, and fat liquefaction of surgical incision occurred in 2 cases in group C. There was no significant difference in the incidence of perioperative complications between groups (3.1% vs. 3.7% vs. 8.0%) ( P=0.689). During the follow-up, there was no bone nonunion, plate fracture or loosening. At last follow-up, HSS score, VAS score, knee range of motion, and HKA significantly improved in the 3 groups when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in the differences of the above indexes between groups before and after operation ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION BMI does not affect the short-term effectiveness of HTO in the treatment of varus knee arthritis. HTO can be selected for overweight and obese patients after standard medical treatment is ineffective.

Toxoplasma gondii is a worldwide parasite that can infect almost all kinds of mammals and cause fatal toxoplasmosis in immunocompromised patients. Apoptosis is one of the principal strategies of host cells to clear pathogens and maintain organismal homeostasis, but the mechanism of cell apoptosis induced by T. gondii remains obscure. To explore the apoptosis influenced by T. gondii, Vero cells infected or uninfected with the parasite were subjected to apoptosis detection and subsequent dual RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Using high-throughput Illumina sequencing and bioinformatics analysis, we found that pro-apoptosis genes such as DNA damage-inducible transcript 3 (DDIT3), growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible α (GADD45A), caspase-3 (CASP3), and high-temperature requirement protease A2 (HtrA2) were upregulated, and anti-apoptosis genes such as poly(adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose) polymerase family member 3 (PARP3), B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) repeat containing 5 (BIRC5) were downregulated. Besides, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor 1 (TRAF1), TRAF2, TNF receptor superfamily member 10b (TNFRSF10b), disabled homolog 2 (DAB2)‍-interacting protein (DAB2IP), and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3 (ITPR3) were enriched in the upstream of TNF, TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways, and TRAIL-receptor 2 (TRAIL-R2) was regarded as an important membrane receptor influenced by T. gondii that had not been previously considered. In conclusion, the T. gondii RH strain could promote and mediate apoptosis through multiple pathways mentioned above in Vero cells. Our findings improve the understanding of the T. gondii infection process through providing new insights into the related cellular apoptosis mechanisms.

IL-34 can promote osteoclast differentiation and activation, which may contribute to steroidinduced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Animal model was constructed in both BALB/c and IL-34 deficient mice to detect the relative expression of inflammation cytokines. Micro-CT was utilized to reveal the internal structure. In vitro differentiated osteoclast was induced by culturing bone marrow-derived macrophages with IL-34 conditioned medium or M-CSF. The relative expression of pro-inflammation cytokines, osteoclast marker genes, and relevant pathways molecules was detected with quantitative real-time RT-PCR, ELISA, and Western blot. Up-regulated IL-34 expression could be detected in the serum of ONFH patients and femoral heads of ONFH mice. IL-34 deficient mice showed the resistance to ONFH induction with the up-regulated trabecular number, trabecular thickness, bone value fraction, and down-regulated trabecular separation. On the other hand, inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-6, IL-12, IL-2, and IL-17A, showed diminished expression in IL-34 deficient ONFH induced mice. IL-34 alone or works in coordination with M-CSF to promote osteoclastogenesis and activate ERK, STAT3, and non-canonical NF-κB pathways. These data demonstrate that IL-34 can promote the differentiation of osteoclast through ERK, STAT3, and non-canonical NF-κB pathways to aggravate steroid-induced ONFH, and IL-34 can be considered as a treatment target.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of emergency video call system in remote guidance of non-medical volunteers to implement single person cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods:A scenario of sudden cardiac arrest with a bystander in a public place was created at Clinical Skill Training Center. 60 non-medical volunteers were randomly (ramdom number) divided into video group ( n = 40) and audio group ( n = 20). Volunteers in video group were remote instructed with the smart phone application software (APP) of Emergency Video Call System to implement CPR; the audio group receives remote voice guidance for CPR with a smart phone. The pressing depth, pressing frequency, volume of ventilation and the time of the first compression were compared between the two groups. The video group was divided into 5 subgroups to compare the cardiopulmonary resuscitation effect of 5 different models of smart phones. Ten CPR cycles were observed in each group. Results:the accuracy rate of pressing position in the video group was significantly higher than that in the audio group (91.5% vs 71.35%, P < 0.05); the proportion of pressing depth in the range of 5-6 cm was significantly higher than that in the audio group (62.79% vs. 44.73%, P < 0.05); the average pressing frequency was 100-120 times / min (70% vs. 52%, P < 0.05); the ventilation volume was 500-600 mL / time (18.25% vs. 10.75%, P < 0.05); The proportion of ventilation volume greater than 500ml / min was higher than that of audio group (64.88% vs. 43%, P < 0.05). The first pressing time was longer in the video group than in the audio group (131 s vs. 106 s, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the first ventilation time between the two groups (148 s vs. 144 s, P > 0.05). The total pressing pause time in video group was less than that in audio group (122.4 s vs. 164.2 s, P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the above indicators among the five different models of smart phones in the video group ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:compared with audio remote guidance, video emergency system has obvious advantages in the accuracy of pressing position, pressing depth, pressing frequency, ventilation volume and pressing pause time, but the first pressing time is slightly longer than that of audio group. The popularization and application of the video system is supposed to improve the CPR quality and recovery success rate of non-medical personnel, and facilitated to encourage the first witness to implement CPR.
