Objective:To explore the current situation of professional identity of intern nursing students in Shandong Province, to analyze the potential characteristics of different categories of intern nursing students' professional identity, and to provide reference for formulating relevant intervention programs.Methods:From September to October 2023, using convenient cluster sampling, selected nursing students from different regions of Shandong Province colleges and universities as the research objects, a total of 1298 questionnaires were released and recovered, with 1221 valid questionnaires, and the effective recovery rate of questionnaires was 94.07%. General demographic data was collected, and information on nursing students' professional identity was investigated with the Nursing Students' Professional Identity Questionnaire, the Work Readiness Scale, and the Feedback Seeking Behavior Scale. Latent potential profiles of nursing students' sense of professional identity were analyzed by Mplus 8.3 software, and the best-fitting model was selected by the test of fitness and difference. The χ 2 test was used for comparison between groups of count data, analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for comparison between groups of measure data, and the effects of each factor on different potential profiles were analyzed by multivariate logistic analysis. Results:A total of 1221 intern nursing students were 984 (80.6%) females and 237 (19.4%) males, aged (21.12±2.96) years old, with a total score of (64.23±14.99) for nursing students' professional identity. Nursing students' professional identity was divided into 3 categories: 98 (8.0%) in the low identity group, 624 (51.4%) in the medium identity group, and 496 (40.6%) in the high identity group. The gender, region, age, work readiness scores and feedback seeking behavior scores of nursing students in different categories were different, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared with the high identity group, the nursing students in the low identity group were more likely to be included in the high identity group ( OR=0.390, 0.167, P=0.005, 0.006) with higher work readiness and better feedback seeking behavior. Compared with the high identity group, the higher work readiness and non-Jinan areas of the medium identity group were more likely to be included in the high identity group ( OR=0.597, 1.470, P=0.011, 0.012). Compared with the medium identity group, the more feedback seeking behaviors of the low identity group were more likely to be included in the medium identity group ( OR=10.411, P<0.001) . Conclusion:The level of professional identity of intern nursing students can be classified into 3 categories, and nursing administrators can improve work readiness and increase feedback seeking behaviors according to the potential characteristics of the different types to enhance the professional identity of nursing students.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Spautin-1 (an inhibitor of autophagy) on improving anxiety-like behaviors and its mechanism in mice after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:Thirty-six C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into sham-operated group, TBI group, and TBI+Spautin-1 group ( n=12); TBI models in the latter two groups were established by modified Feeney free fall epidural impingement method. Mice in TBI+Spautin-1 group were administered with Spautin-1 (2 μL, 10 mmol/L) into the lateral ventricle 10 min after modeling, but mice in the other two groups were only injected with same volume of solvent. Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS) was used to evaluate the functions of motor, sensory and reflexes of mice on 1 st, 7 th and 14 th d of modeling. On 15 th and 16 th d of modeling, open field test and elevated plus maze test were used to evaluate the anxiety-like behaviors in mice. The number of Nissl bodies in the amygdala of mice was calculated by Nissl staining 16 d after modeling. The numbers of neuron specific nucleoprotein (NeuN) positive cells, interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-1β positive astrocytes in the amygdala were detected by immunofluorescent staining. Western blotting was used to detect the autophagy-and pyrotopic-associated protein expressions in the amygdala region of mice. Results:(1) As compared with the sham-operated group, the TBI group and TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly increased NSS scores on 1 st and 7 th d of modeling ( P<0.05). (2) Open field test showed that as compared with the sham-operated group, the TBI group and TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly smaller number of crossing grids, significantly decreased percentage of time spending in the central zone ([central area residence time/total time] × 100%), significantly decreased percentage of frequencies entering into opening arm (OE) (OE/[OE+frequencies of entering closing arm]×100%) and opening arm time (OT) percentage (OT/[OT+time of closing arm]×100%); as compared with the TBI group, TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly larger number of crossing grids, and significantly increased time percentage spending in the central zone, OE percentage, and OT percentage ( P<0.05). (3) As compared with sham-operated group, the TBI group and TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly smaller numbers of Nissl bodies and NeuN positive cells in the amygdala of mice ( P<0.05); as compared with TBI group, TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly larger numbers of Nissl bodies and NeuN positive cells in the amygdala of mice ( P<0.05). (4) As compared with the sham-operated group, the TBI group and TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly increased percentages of IL-1β and IL-18 positive astrocytes in amygdala of mice ( P<0.05); as compared with the TBI group, the TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly decreased percentages of IL-1β and IL-18 positive astrocytes in amygdala of mice ( P<0.05). (5) As compared with sham-operated group, the TBI group and TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly higher protein expressions of NOD-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3), activated cysteine aspartate protease-1 (Caspase-1), pore-forming protein D-N terminal fragment (GSDMD-N), ubiquitin specific peptidase (USP) 13 and B-lymphocytoma-2 interacting protein (Beclin1), and statistically higher ratio of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain (LC)3 II/LC3 I ( P<0.05); as compared with TBI group, the TBI+Spautin-1 group had significantly decreased protein expressions of NLRP3, activated Caspase-1, GSDMD-N, USP13 and Beclin1 in the amygdala, and statistically lower ratio of LC3 II/LC3 I ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Spautin-1 improves the anxiety-like behaviors in mice after TBI, whose mechanism may be associated with the inhibition of astrocytic pyroptosis in the amygdala.

Conclusion:The long-term spatial memory impairment of post-stroke depression mice is aggravated, which is related to the neuron damage caused by increased activation of M1 microglia in PFC area.Inhibition of M1 microglia by minocycline can effectively improve the spatial memory ability of mice.

Objective:To analyze the indications for prenatal diagnosis and summarize the pregnancy outcomes and its influencing factors of pregnant women with fetal sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA).Methods:This study retrospectively enrolled 1 372 fetuses prenatally diagnosed with SCA in Medical Genetics Center of Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from January 2013 to December 2021. The relationship between prenatal diagnosis indications and SCA as well as between ultrasound abnormalities, pregnancy outcomes and SCA types were analyzed by Chi-square test and trend Chi-square test. Results:The most common prenatal diagnosis indication was abnormal non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) (61.6%, 845/1 372). The most common SCA type was 47,XXY in cases with indications of abnormal NIPT and advanced maternal age, mosaic in cases with high or borderline risk of Down syndrome, and 45,X in cases with increased nuchal translucency or cystic hygroma. Of 1 372 pregnant women with fetal SCA, 17 were lost to follow-up, seven had intrauterine fetal death, and 1 348 (98.3%) were followed up for pregnancy outcomes including 36.3% (489/1 348) continued pregnancies and 63.7% (859/1 348) terminations. Pregnancy termination rates decreased sequentially in pregnant women carrying fetuses with 45,X, 47,XXY, mosaic, 47,XXX and 47,XYY [99.2% (247/249), 74.5% (307/412), 67.8% (156/230), 36.6% (86/235) and 28.4% (63/222), χ2trend=352.76, P<0.001]. There was no significant difference in pregnancy termination rates among the cases with different mosaic mutations (all P>0.05). The pregnancy termination rate was higher in fetuses with SCA complicated by ultrasound structural abnormalities than in those without ultrasound abnormalities and those with ultrasound soft markers [91.5% (182/199) vs 57.1% (535/937) and 67.0% (142/212), χ2 were 83.68 and 36.85, both P<0.001]. Moreover, the pregnancy termination rate in fetuses with SCA complicated by ultrasound soft markers was higher than those without ultrasound abnormalities ( χ2=7.13, P<0.05). Conclusions:NIPT abnormality is the most common indication for prenatal diagnosis of SCA. The types of SCA and ultrasound findings are important factors determining whether the pregnancy would be continued or not.

Objective:To analyze the correlation among social support, positive coping and job burnout among nurses in Department of Infectious Diseases.Methods:From March 2020 to June 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 110 nurses from Department of Infectious Diseases of 8 ClassⅢ hospitals in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) , and Simple Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to investigate the nurses. Pearson correlation analysis was used analyze the correlation among job burnout, social support and positive coping. A total of 110 questionnaires were distributed, and 102 effective questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.73%.Results:Among the 102 nurses in Department of Infectious Diseases, 17.65% (18/102) were in mild burnout, 57.84% (59/102) were in moderate burnout, and 20.59% (21/102) were in severe burnout. The SSRS total score and each dimension score of nurses in Department of Infectious Diseases were positively correlated with the positive coping subscale score of SCSQ ( P<0.05) , and negatively correlated with the emotional exhaustion subscale and depersonalization subscale score of the Maslach Burnout Inventory ( P<0.05) , but it was positively correlated with the personal achievement subscale score ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The overall job burnout of nurses in Department of Infectious Diseases was moderate to severe level, and social support and positive coping were correlated with job burnout. Nursing managers should develop measures to reduce the job burnout of nurses in Department of Infectious Diseases.

Genomic disorders caused by pathogenic copy number variation (pCNV) have proven to underlie a significant proportion of birth defects. With technological advance, improvement of bioinformatics analysis procedure, and accumulation of clinical data, non-invasive prenatal screening of pCNV (NIPS-pCNV) by high-throughput sequencing of maternal plasma cell-free DNA has been put to use in clinical settings. Specialized standards for clinical application of NIPS-pCNV are required. Based on the discussion, 10 pCNV-associated diseases with well-defined conditions and 5 common chromosomal aneuploidy syndromes are recommended as the target of screening in this consensus. Meanwhile, a standardized procedure for NIPS-pCNV is also provided, which may facilitate propagation of this technique in clinical settings.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical value of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for the screening of trisomy and copy number variations (CNVs) of chromosomes 21, 18 and 13. METHODS: From January 2015 to December 2019, 40 628 pregnant women underwent NIPT testing using high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to test the cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma. High-risk pregnant women underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis, while low-risk ones were followed up by telephone. RESULTS: The three most common indications included intermediate risk of serological screening, high risk of serological screening and advanced maternal age. Among all pregnant women, 257 cases were detected as trisomy 21, 18 and 13 (170, 49 and 38 cases, respectively). 227 cases chose invasive prenatal diagnosis, with respectively 122, 28 and 10 cases confirmed. The positive predictive value (PPV) was 81.33% (122/150), 65.12% (28/43), 29.41% (10/34), respectively. Two false negative cases of trisomy 18 were found during follow-up. Meanwhile, NIPT has detected 46 cases (15, 16 and 15 cases, respectively) CNVs on chromosomes 21, 18 and 13, among which 37 cases underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis. There were 5, 3 and 5 positive cases, which yielded a PPV of 41.67% (5/12), 25%(3/12) and 33.33%(5/15), respectively. Two other chromosome CNVs were accidentally discovered among the false positive samples. CONCLUSION The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in the serological screening high-risk group was 52.02%, which was significantly higher than other groups. NIPT has a high sensitivity and specificity for the screening of trisomies 21, 18 and 13, while its accuracy for detecting CNVs of chromosomes 21, 18 and 13 needs to be improved. As a screening method, NIPT has a great clinical value, though there are still limitations of false positive and false negative results.Comprehensive pre- and post-test genetic counseling should be provided to the patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) in detecting copy number variations (CNVs).Methods:There were 37 845 pregnant women undergoing NIPT in Guangdong Women and Children Hospital from January 1, 2015 to September 1, 2018, of which 205 with CNVs were detected in addition to chromosome numerical abnormality and retrospectively analyzed. Among the 205 cases, 137 received invasive prenatal diagnosis. Pregnant outcomes were followed up and the efficiency of NIPT in detecting CNVs was analyzed by descriptive statistical analysis.Results:The detection rate of NIPT for CNVs was 0.54% (205/37 845). Among the 137 cases undergoing invasive prenatal diagnosis, 110 showed normal karyotype, 27 with abnormal including two having CNVs that were inconsistent with NIPT findings and 25 with consistent results. The positive predictive value, sensitivity and specificity of NIPT for CNVs were 18.2%(25/137), 100.0%(25/25) and 99.7%(37 625/37 737), respectively. Among the 27 pregnant women with positive findings in prenatal diagnosis, five were lost to follow-up; eight terminated their pregnancies; 14 gave birth to alive baby with normal phenotype. While among the 110 pregnant women with negative results in prenatal diagnosis, 87 delivered full-term neonates including two having patent foramen ovale and 85 with normal phenotype; three gave birth prematurely; one terminated pregnancy at 28 +2 gestational weeks due to preeclampsia; two had inevitable abortion; two requested termination and 15 were lost to follow-up. Conclusions:Routine NIPT has high performance in screening CNVs but those pregnant women with positive NIPT results should be counseled after referring to their invasive prenatal diagnosis results, ultrasound scan and clinical information.

Objective To assess the value of non-invasive prenatal screening (NIPS) for the detection of fetal chromosome 16 aneuploidy through multi-method verification and follow-up of pregnancy outcomes.Methods From January 2016 to December 2017,7972 pregnant women with singleton pregnancies accepted the NIPS test after 10th gestational week with informed consent.Those with fetal chromosome 16 abnormality suggestive by the NIPS test were subjectedto prenatal diagnosis including chromosomal karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA).Results Of the 7972 pregnant women tested by NIPS,16 (0.2％) were predicted to have fetal chromosome 16 abnormality.The average age of the 16 pregnant women was 33.5 + 5.24,and the average gestational week was 19.88 ± 2.47.Chromosomal karyotyping verified that 3 fetuses had mosaicisms and 1 carried pericentric inversion of chromosome 9,which yielded a positive predictive value (PPV) of 18.8％.CMA has detected 7 fetuses with genomic abnormalities,which yielded a PPV of 43.8％.Eleven of the 16 women (68.8％) have given birth to healthy babies.Conclusion For pregnant women with a high risk of chromosome 16 aneuploidy suggested by NIPS,the prognosis of fetus should be evaluated by multiple methods.Compared with conventional karyotyping analysis,molecular methods such as CMA are far superior.
