Objective:To develop the Postoperative Subdelirium Syndrome Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire for Surgical Nurses and test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the theory of knowledge, attitude, and practice, the preliminary Postoperative Subdelirium Syndrome Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire for Surgical Nurses was developed through literature search and analysis, Delphi expert consultation, and pre-survey. From February to April 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 375 surgical nurses from five Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals and three Class Ⅲ Grade B hospitals in Zhejiang Province for questionnaire item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability testing.Results:The final Postoperative Subdelirium Syndrome Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire for Surgical Nurses consisted of 33 items in three dimensions of knowledge, attitude, and practice. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 67.016%. The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.931, and the Cronbach's α coefficients for each dimension were 0.972, 0.906, and 0.932, respectively. The overall test-retest reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.999, and the test-retest reliability coefficients for each dimension were 0.997, 0.994, and 0.998. The questionnaire-level content validity index was 0.889, and the item-level content validity index was 0.833 to 1.000.Conclusions:The Postoperative Subdelirium Syndrome Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Questionnaire for Surgical Nurses has good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of postoperative subdelirium syndrome among surgical nurses.

Objective To investigate the effect of sirtuin 3(SIRT3)on the oxidative stress response and hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α)expression in lung cancer cells through reactive oxygen species(ROS)under hypoxic conditions and its mechanism.Methods Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were exposed to hypoxia for 0 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h.The mRNA and protein expressions of HIF-1α and SIRT3 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot to determine the optimal time of hypoxia induction.A549 cells were divided into 5 groups:control group,hypoxia group,hypoxia+ROS inhibitor n-acetylcysteine(NAC)group,hypoxia+(SIRT3 overexpression)SIRT3-OE group and hypoxia+SIRT3-OE+NAC group.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay.Cell apop-tosis was detected by flow cytometry.The mRNA and protein expressions of HIF-1 α and SIRT3 in each group were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.ROS content in each group was detected by flow cytometry.The contents of malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and glutathione(GSH)in the cells of each group were detected by biochemical kits.Results The optimal induction time of hypoxia was 24 h.Compared with the control group,the apoptosis rate,SIRT3 mRNA and protein levels,SOD and GSH contents in the hypoxia group signifi-cantly decreased(P＜0.01),the cell proliferation ability,HIF-1 α mRNA and protein levels,ROS and MDA con-tent in cells significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the hypoxia group,the apoptosis rate,SIRT3 mR-NA and protein levels,SOD and GSH contents in the hypoxia+NAC and hypoxia+SIRT3-OE groups increased(P＜0.05),the cell proliferation ability,HIF-1 α mRNA and protein levels,ROS and MDA content in cells de-creased(P＜0.05).Compared with the hypoxia+NAC group,the apoptosis rate,SIRT3 mRNA and protein lev-els,SOD and GSH contents in the hypoxia+SIRT3-OE+NAC group significantly increased(P＜0.01),the cell proliferation ability,HIF-1 α mRNA and protein levels,ROS and MDA content in cells significantly decreased(P＜0.01).Conclusion Under hypoxic conditions,SIRT3 can promote cell apoptosis and inhibit lung cancer pro-gression by mediating ROS to inhibit oxidative stress response and HIF-1 α expression in lung cancer cells.

Objective:To investigate and analyse the current status of screening and management of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in six provinces and cities in China.Methods:The qualitative research method of focus group interview was adopted, based on the semi-structured interview outline, the clinical medical and disease control personnel in Tianjin, Chongqing, Gansu, Hubei, Heilongjiang, and Guangdong were interviewed. The interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis, and MAXQDA analysis software was used for data management and analysis.Results:A total of 6 interviews were conducted with 49 interviewees. Forty respondents (81.6%) claimed that DKD screening was critical; 53.1% think that it was not easy for patients to obtain DKD screening services; 40.8%, 26.5% and 14.3% of the people believed that the technology of DKD screening services was moderate, simple or very simple, respectively. Of the respondents,16.3% thought that the cost of DKD screening service was relatively expensive, while 83.7% thought that the cost was inexpensive; 75.5% of the respondents believed that the patients could receive early DKD screening service. The factors of fully implementing medical reform policies, changing concepts and actively serving patients, and integrating external resources in medical and health institutions at all levels and of all types were conducive to the development of DKD screening and management services. The lack of technology and personnel for DKD screening services at the grassroots level, the lack of trust in the service capabilities of grassroots medical institutions by patients, the low level of patient awareness, and the novel coronavirus infection epidemic had an adverse impact on the development of DKD screening and management services.Conclusion:The screening and management services for DKD are relatively limited in China, and there is a significant fragmentation in the management and care of diabetes and DKD.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of interposition urethroplasty on glandular hypospadias and severe penile curvature.Methods:A total of 9 cases of congenital glandular hypospadias and 2 cases of congenital severe penile curvature (>30°) treated with the interposition urethroplasty technique in the Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from November 2008 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The mean age of initial surgery was 40 (25-109) months.Two cases were surgically treated with one-staged interposition urethroplasty and the remaining were treated with two-staged interposition urethroplasty.They were followed up for 8 months to 12 years, including the penile morphology, urination, urethrocutaneous fistula, urethral stricture and uroflowmetry.Continuous variables were presented as ± s deviation, Student′s t-test was used for comparison between groups. Results:The median length of interposition urethra was 3.2 (2.2-4.2) cm.The cosmetic appearance of penis was good without residual chordee, urethral stricture or urethral diverticulum in all patients.Two cases had urethrocutaneous fistula(one-staged repair and two-staged repair were performed in one case respectively), which were successfully repaired by re-operation.The maximum of uroflowmetry in patients at 3 months [(8.3±1.0) mL/s] and 6 months [(6.7±1.9) mL/s] after surgery was significantly lower than that of children in healthy control group [(10.5±3.7) mL/s] ( t=3.221, 3.864, all P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in 1-year maximum of uroflowmetry postoperatively between surgically treated patients [(10.5±3.7) mL/s] and healthy control group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Interposition urethroplasty is an effective and safe treatment for glandular hypospadias and/or severe penile curvature in children.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic efficiency of the 2020 Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (C-TIRADS) and the 2017 American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR-TIRADS) in the diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.Methods:A retrospective analysis of the two-dimensional ultrasound image results of 324 thyroid nodules in 289 patients with thyroid nodules and thyroid nodules were performed in the physical examination of the Health Management Department of the Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital from January 2018 to January 2019. A superficial professional doctor with a senior professional title simultaneously uses the C-TIRADS and ACR-TIRADS methods to evaluate the above nodules. The results are all pathologically referenced for the χ2 test and the receiver operating characteristic curve is drawn. Results:The sensitivity of C-TIRADS in diagnosing benign and malignant thyroid nodules was 81.90%, specificity was 97.72%, accuracy was 92.59%, negative predictive value was 91.85%, positive predictive value was 84.51%; ACR-TIRADS diagnosis The sensitivity of benign and malignant thyroid nodules was 59.05%, specificity was 99.54%, accuracy was 86.42%, negative predictive value was 83.52%, and positive predictive value was 98.41%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.958 and 0.935( Z=2.31 P=0.021). Conclusion:C-TIRADS classification based on counting method is better than ACR-TIRADS classification based on sub-method in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. It has better efficacy and is more suitable for the current status of diagnosis and treatment of thyroid nodules in China.

Objective: To analyze the clinical features of perianal condyloma acuminatum in HIV infected men who have sex with men (MSM) and assess the effects of combined treatment of microwave and photodynamic therapy. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data of 260 male patients with perianal condyloma acuminatum were collected and microwave combined with photodynamic therapy was applied on them. Results: The majority of the patients with perianal condyloma acuminatum were young people (243/260). Warts were mainly located in the anus or from the outside to inside of the anus (245/260). Among them, the proportion of warts position of extraanal in HIV-infected group (8/220) was lower than that of non-HIV-infected group (7/40). HPV types 11 (70/118), 6 (44/118) and 16 (40/118) were the most common types of HPV infection. People with HIV infection were more likely to develop high-risk, mixed types HPV infection and multiple HPV infection than those without HIV infection. More than half of the patients (146/260) needed only 1-3 sessions of photodynamic treatments. There was no significant difference in the times of photodynamic treatments and the numbers of photosensitizers required between the HIV-infected and non-HIV-infected groups. The recurrence rate of HIV-infected group (13.6%, 30/220) was also similar to that of non-HIV-infected group (15.0%, 6/40), but far lower than those who underwent microwave therapy alone (45%, 18/40). Conclusions The combination therapy significantly reduced the recurrence rate of perianal condyloma acuminatum in HIV infected MSM.

Objective? To explore the effects of the problem-oriented intervention model on major nursing issues, self-care behavior and illness perception in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods? Totally 112 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes admitted in the First Hospital of Jiaxing from September 2016 to September 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the control group (n=56) and the observation group (n=56) based on the time of admission. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing care, while patients in the observation group received conventional nursing care in addition to problem-oriented nursing interventions. The Omaha Problem Classification Scheme was used to evaluate the nursing issues in the two groups, and the Chinese version of Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) and the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ) were used to evaluate the intervention effects between the two groups. Results? After 6 months, the resolution rate of major nursing issues in the observation group was 82.93% (68/82), while that in the control group was 63.16% (48/76); (χ2=7.898, P＜ 0.05). The self-care behavior and illness perception in the observation group totaled (27.33±7.36) and (38.49±5.76), respectively, both higher than that in the control group (t=5.180, 7.201; P＜ 0.01). Conclusions? The problem-oriented nursing intervention model can effectively enhance the self-care ability and illness perception in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and genotypes of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency in Dongguan region of Guangdong Province and assess the efficacy and feasibility of flow-through hybridization. METHODS: Peripheral blood samples were randomly selected and detected by modified G6PD/6PGD ratio method. Flow-through hybridization was used to detect 14 G6PD mutations among all samples. RESULTS: In total 1005 samples were collected, the detection rate for modified G6PD/6PGD ratio method and flow-through hybridization were 2.79% and 20.90%, respectively. The consistency of the two methods was poor(Kappa=0.187). When c.1311C>T mutation is excluded, the consistency of the two methods was good for males (Kappa=0.952) but still poor for females (Kappa=0.194). The most common mutations were c.1376G>T, c.1388G>A and c.95A>G. No G6PD deficiency was found among those only carrying the c.1311C>T mutation. CONCLUSION Flow-through hybridization can simultaneously detect 14 loci, covering over 90% of common mutations in Chinese population, and can be easily expanded. The routine method may miss many females carrying homozygous, compound heterozygous and heterozygous mutations, but the detection rate for male hemizygous mutation was much higher.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum sFas and sLOX-1 with occurrence and development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods A total of 52 patients definitely diagnosed ACS (ACS group) by coronary artery angiography (CAG) were enrolled,including 23 cases of unstable angina (UA group) and 29 cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI group),and contemporaneous 58 cases of non-coronary arterial stenosis confirmed by CAG were selected as the control group (NC group).The serum levels of sFas and sLOX-1 were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with the NC group,the serum levels of sFas and sLOX-1 in the ACS group were increased,the serum levels of sFas and sLOX-1 in the AMI group and UA group were higher than those in the NC group,moreover which in the AMI group were higher than those in the UA group (P＜0.01).The serum sFas level in the ACS group was positively correlated with the sLOX-1 level (r=0.825,P=0.001),but both had no obvious correlation with the serum levels of CK-MB and cTnⅠ (P＞0.05).Conclusion High levels of serum sFas and sLOX-1 may be the risk factors of ACS.

Objective To investigate the effect of neuropeptide Y (NPY) on the osteoblastic differentiation of murine MC3T3-E1 cells and its mechanism related to the Wnt signaling pathway.Methods The murine MC3T3-E1 cells were divided into 4 groups according to the stimulators added:phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (control) and different concentrations of NPY (10-8 mol/L,10-10 mol/L and 10-12 mol/L).The cellular proliferation was detected with MTT assay after 1,3,5,7 and 9 days.The cells were identified with cell immunochemistry and Western Blot to find out the most effective concentration of NPY at different time points under osteoblastic condition.The cells were then divided into 4 groups:PBS,NPY,NPY + NPY receptor antagonist,and NPY + DKK1.Western blot was used to determine the expression of β3-catenin and p-GSK-3β in each group.Nuclear signaling activity of β3-catenin was observed using immunofluorescence staining.Results NPY significantly improved the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells at 7 and 9 days (P ＜0.05).NPY (10s mol/L and 10-10 mol/L) groups and NPY (10-10 mol/L and 10-12 mol/L) groups significantly improved the ALP activity at 4 and 14 days respectively (P ＜ 0.05).At 4 days,the expression of ALP protein was significantly decreased in the NPY + DKK1 group and the NPY + NPY receptor antagonist group compared with that in the NPY group (P ＜ 0.05).Although the expression levels of [β-catenin and p-GSK-3β protein were uninfluenced in either case,NPY significantly stimulated the nuclear signaling activity of β3-catenin.Conclusions NPY may significantly increase the expression of ALP protein in MC3T3-E1 ceils during osteoblastic differentiation.This effect might be mediated through the canonical Wnt signaling pathway.
