BackgroundNegative effects of mobile phone addiction on undergraduate students have led to several health problems including depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, cognitive impairment and sleep disturbance. The undergraduate nursing students serve as an important reserve force of the clinical nursing work, and their poor psychological health would have a non-ignorable impact on the quality of the nursing work and the nurse-patient relationship in the future. ObjectiveTo investigate the relation between neuroticism and tendency of mobile phone addiction among undergraduate nursing students, and to examine the pathways through which perceived stress and self-control play a role in the relation by constructing a chain-mediated model. MethodsFrom February to March 2023, a total of 900 undergraduate nursing students across 10 universities in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province were selected through convenient sampling method. Several scales were adopted to assess undergraduate nursing students respectively, including the neuroticism subscale of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chines (EPQ-RSC), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Self-Control Scale (SCS) and Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS). The assessment were conducted on multiple aspects of these students including neurotic personality, subjective stress, self-control and mobile phone addiction tendency. Model 6 in the SPSS Macro Process 4.1 was used to examine the mediating effect of perceived stress and self-control between neuroticism and mobile phone addiction tendency among undergraduate nursing students. Results① Among the 900 students, 314 cases (34.89%) were found to be addicted to mobile phones. ② The score of neuroticism subscale in EPQ-RSC of nursing undergraduates was positively correlated with the total scores of PSS and MPATS (r=0.400, 0.287, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with score of SCS (r=-0.364, P<0.01). The total score of MPATS was positively correlated with the total score of PSS (r=0.362, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the total score of SCS (r=-0.468, P<0.01). The total score of SCS was negatively correlated with the total score of PSS (r=-0.515, P<0.01). ③ Perceived stress and self-control performed partial mediation between neuroticism personality and mobile phone addiction tendency (with indirect effect values of 0.056 and 0.065, respectively, accounting for 19.72% and 22.89% of the total effect). Perceived stress and self-control played a chain mediating role between neuroticism personality and mobile phone addiction tendency (with an indirect effect value of 0.064, accounting for 22.54% of the total effect). ConclusionNeuroticism personality, perceived stress and self-control are confirmed to play important roles in mobile phone addiction tendency among undergraduate nursing students. Neuroticism personality not only directly affects the tendency of mobile phone addiction, but also affects their mobile phone addiction tendency through the chain mediating effect of perceived stress and self-control.[Funded by The 2020 Annual Project of the 13th Five-Year Plan of Education Science in Shaanxi Province (number, SGH20Y1386)]

Objective:To explore the relationship between the perceived stress and the independent learning ability of nursing undergraduates, to establish a chain mediation model to investigate the role of psychological capital and self-control in the relationship between the two, aiming to provide a new direction for nursing educators to improve the independent learning ability of nursing undergraduates.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 913 nursing undergraduates from 10 universities in Shaanxi Province were selected as research objects from February to March 2023. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ), Self-control Scale (SCS) and Self-directed Learning Ability Scale (SLAS) were used to investigate the nursing undergraduates.Results:A total of 913 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 900 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 98.58% (900/913). The total SLAS score of 900 nursing undergraduates was (87.12±9.20). The perception of stress among undergraduate nursing students could directly predict their self-directed learning ability negatively ( P<0.01), or indirectly affected their self-learning ability through psychological capital and self-control ( P<0.05). Psychological capital (indirect effect value=-0.160) and self-control (indirect effect value=-0.106) played a mediating role between stress perception and self-directed learning ability, and the mediating effect accounted for 38.55% and 25.54%, respectively. Moreover, psychological capital and self-control also played a chain mediating role (indirect effect value=-0.053), and the proportion of chain mediated effect was 12.77%. Conclusions:Perceived stress, psychological capital and self-control are important influencing factors on the self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduate students. Perceived stress not only directly affects the self-directed learning ability of nursing undergraduate students, but also indirectly affects their self-directed learning ability through the chain mediation effect of psychological capital and self-control.

Objective:To explore the effect of combining hand-brain perception training with hand-brain motor training based on mirror neuron theory on the recovery of upper limb function after a stroke.Methods:A group of 105 stroke survivors with upper limb dysfunction were randomly divided into a hand-brain perception (HP) group, a hand-brain motor (HM) group, and a combination (C) group, each of 35. In addition to conventional rehabilitation treatment (including exercise therapy, occupational therapy and physical factor therapy), the HP and HM groups were given hand-brain perception training and hand-brain motor training respectively, while group C was provided with both. Before the intervention and after 4 weeks, the upper limb motor functioning of all of the participants was assessed using the simplified version of the Fugl-Meyer upper limb motor function scale (FMA-UE). Sensory functioning was quantified using the tactile Semmes Weinstein monofilament examination (SWME), and the modified Barthel index (MBI) was used to quantify the participants′ ability in the activities of daily living.Results:After the intervention the average FMA-UE, MBI and SWME scores of all three groups had improved significantly, with group C′s average FMA-UE and MBI scores significantly better than the other two groups′ averages. The average SWME score of group C was then significantly better than that of group HM.Conclusions:Hand-brain perception combined with hand-brain motor training based on mirror neuron theory can further promote the recovery of upper limb sensory and motor functioning of stroke survivors., Such therapy is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To study the distribution and antibiotics resistance of the main pathogens of neonatal purulent meningitis in different regions of China.Methods:A retrospective descriptive clinical epidemiological study was conducted in children with neonatal purulent meningitis which admitted to 18 tertiary hospitals in different regions of China between January 2015 to December 2019. The test results of blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and drug sensitivity test results of the main pathogens were collected. The distributions of pathogenic bacteria in children with neonatal purulent meningitis in preterm and term infants, early and late onset infants, in Zhejiang Province and other regions outside Zhejiang Province, and in Wenzhou region and other regions of Zhejiang Province were analyzed. The chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results:A total of 210 neonatal purulent meningitis cases were collected. The common pathogens were Escherichia coli ( E. coli)(41.4%(87/210)) and Streptococcus agalactiae ( S. agalactiae)(27.1%(57/210)). The proportion of Gram-negative bacteria in preterm infants (77.6%(45/58)) with neonatal purulent meningitis was higher than that in term infants (47.4%(72/152)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=15.54, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in the constituent ratios of E. coli (36.5%(31/85) vs 44.8%(56/125)) and S. agalactiae (24.7%(21/85) vs 28.8%(36/125)) between early onset and late onset cases (both P>0.05). The most common pathogen was E. coli in different regions, with 46.7%(64/137) in Zhejiang Province and 31.5%(23/73) in other regions outside Zhejiang Province. In Zhejiang Province, S. agalactiae was detected in 49 out of 137 cases (35.8%), which was significantly higher than other regions outside Zhejiang Province (11.0%(8/73)). The proportions of Klebsiella pneumoniae, and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus in other regions outside Zhejiang Province (17.8%(13/73) and 16.4%(12/73)) were both higher than those in Zhejiang Province (2.9%(4/137) and 5.1%(7/137)). The differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=14.82, 12.26 and 7.43, respectively, all P<0.05). The proportion of Gram-positive bacteria in Wenzhou City (60.8%(31/51)) was higher than that in other regions in Zhejiang Province (38.4%(33/86)), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.46, P=0.011). E. coli was sensitive to meropenem (0/45), and 74.4%(32/43) of them were resistant to ampicillin. E. coli had different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, among which, cefotaxime had the highest resistance rate of 41.8%(23/55), followed by ceftriaxone (32.4%(23/71)). S. agalactiae was sensitive to penicillin, vancomycin and linezolid. Conclusions:The composition ratios of pathogenic bacteria of neonatal purulent meningitis are different in different regions of China. The most common pathogen is E. coli, which is sensitive to meropenem, while it has different degrees of resistance to other common cephalosporins, especially to cefotaxime.

Objective:To explore the status and influencing factors of stress disorder in different periods of postpartum women.Methods:From October 2019 to April 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 332 puerperae from 8 community health service stations in Xi'an as the research object. The Posttraumatic Stress Checklist-Civilian version (PCL-C) was used to investigate the puerperae in T1 (1 to 3 months postpartum) , T2 (4 to 6 months postpartum) , T3 (7 to 12 months postpartum) .Results:Among 332 puerperae, there were no significant differences in the posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) positive rate, PTSD total score and symptom cluster scores in T1, T2 and T3 ( P>0.05) . From 1 to 3 months postpartum, occupation, husband participation, sleep, delivery mode, neonatal gender coincidence and initial delivery were the influencing factors of postpartum PTSD ( P<0.05) . From 4 to 6 months postpartum, pregnancy complications was the factor affecting postpartum PTSD ( P<0.05) . From 7 to 12 months, sleep was the influencing factor of postpartum PTSD ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:PTSD was relatively stable within one year in postpartum women. Targeted intervention measures should be taken according to the influencing factors of PTSD in different postpartum periods.

Objective:To investigate the labial surface angle and Collum angle of anterior teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and to provide guidance for proper setting of torque for avoiding alveolar fenestration and dehiscence.Methods:CBCT data of 200 patients (66 males, age ranging from 18 to 40 years, with average 26.7 years) were screened and imported into Invivo 5.4, the middle labio-lingual sections of anterior teeth were obtained, and the Collum angle and labial surface angle were measured respectively. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the discrepancies of the two measurements among teeth. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to detect the association between the two measurements.Results:The Collum angles (labial surface angles) in upper central incisor, lateral incisor, canine and lower central incisor, lateral incisor and canine were 0.17±5.11° (15.50±2.91°), -5.67±5.74° (15.52±3.50°), -5.56±4.67° (20.07±3.66°), -3.97±4.49° (14.40±3.20°), -6.50±4.03° (14.76±3.25°), -3.70±4.91° (18.27±3.07°) respectively; the positive Collum angles indicated the lingually bent root relative to crown, while the negative indicated the labially bent root. The labial surface angles in upper and lower canine were significantly larger than that of intra-arch central and lateral incisors ( P<0.001). On the contrary, no significant differences were detected between central and lateral incisors in the maxilla and mandible ( P>0.05, P>0.05). Moreover, except for the maxillary central incisor, the Collum angle and labial surface angle were positively correlated. Conclusions:The values of Collum angle among anterior teeth are significantly different, and the obvious lingual-bent root are more likely accompanied with the greater labial surface curve, which might cause variable torqueing and be necessary to elevate before treatment.

Objective To investigate the clinical performance of ultrasound screening for fetal structural anomalies at 11-13+6 weeks of gestation and to evaluate the relation of structural anomalies with karyotypes and copy number variations. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on fetuses with structural anomalies detected by ultrasound examination at 11-13+6 gestational weeks in First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2013 to December 2017. Karyotype and chromosomal microarray analysis(CMA) were offered to these fetuses and ultrasound scans were repeated at 16-18 gestational weeks. All fetuses were followed up to termination or birth. Fisher's exact test was used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 362 fetuses with structural anomalies were studied including 101 (27.9%) fatal malformations, 253 (69.9%) major malformations and eight (0.2%) minor malformations. Cardiac malformation (32.6%, 118/362), central nervous system anomalies (24.9%, 90/362) and anterior abdominal wall defects (20.9%, 76/362) were the three most common abnormalities. Invasive prenatal test was performed in 107 cases including 25 fatal, 79 major and three minor malformations. Thirty (28%) out of the 107 cases had abnormal karyotypes, which were chromosomal aneuploidies (n=28) and chromosomal fragment abnormalities (n=2). Among the 99 cases received CMA, 25 had abnormal karyotypes, and copy number variations were identified in eight [three (4.05%) were pathogenic variations] out of the rest 74 with normal karyotypes. The incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses with major malformations was higher than that of fetuses with fatal malformation [32.9% (26/79) vs 12.0% (3/25), P=0.045]. Altogether, 117 cases repeated second-trimester ultrasound among which 16 (13.7%) were normal; 19 (16.2%) had cardiac defect which was discordant with the first-trimester evaluation and five (4.2%) were found to have additional malformations. Diagnosis of the other 77 cases were consistent with the first-trimester ultrasound findings. After the second-trimester ultrasound scanning, 49 pregnancies were terminated; 39 twin pregnancies and four triplet pregnancies underwent selective fetal reduction; 25 continued to delivery with good neonatal outcomes. Out of the 23 699 cases without abnormal ultrasound findings at 11-13+6 gestational weeks, 20 182 (85.2%) were successfully followed up, among which structural abnormalities were found in 178 during the second trimester and in 31 after birth. Conclusions A detailed ultrasound examination at 11-13+6 weeks of gestation is important to identify fetal structural defects. However, it could not replace the second-trimester ultrasound. There is a high risk of chromosomal abnormalities in fetuses with early-detected structural defects. CMA is able to identify pathogenic copy number variations with a relatively low detection rate.

[Objective]To evaluate the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities and associated abnormalities in prenatally diag?nosed clubfoot,and to determine the prognostic factors as well.[Methods]A total of 89 fetuses with clubfoot diagnosed during Janu?ary 2010 to October 2015 in prenatal ultrasound scan and confirmed postnatally or by autopsy,were selected,within which 16 (18.0%)cases were without other abnormalities and 73(82.0%)cases were with other abnormalities. The associated abnormalities were identified ,the correlation with chromosomal abnormalities were analyzed with Fisher analysis and the factors affecting the outcomes were determined with Logistic regression analysis.[Results]Among associated abnormalities ,the skeletal abnormalities besides the clubfoot were the most frequently associated anomalies (35 ,47.9%),and the central nervous abnormalities followed secondly(30,41.1%). A chromosomal abnormality,with trisomy 18 being the most frequently detected,was identified in 34%(17/49)of the clubfoot fetuses with other anomalies ,whereas none of chromosomal abnormality was identified in 11 fetuses without other anomalies,a significant different rate of aberrant chromosome noted(P < 0.001). The survival rate of clubfoot fetuses without other anomalies was higher than that of clubfoot fetuses with other anomalies(50.0%vs 1.3%,P=0.03). The conditions of with or without associated anomalies were the independent prognostic factors (P = 0.01),the clubfoot fetuses associated with other anomalies had poor outcomes[OR=11.9(95%CI:1.8,80.1)].[Conclusion]Skeletal abnormalities besides the clubfoot were the most frequently associated anomalies. The condition of with or without associated anomalies is the independent prognostic index for fetuses with clubfoot. Aneuploidy were more commonly in clubfoot fetuses with associated abnormalities than in those without other abnormalities. No indication for karyotyping suggests for the clubfoot fetuses without other abnormalities due to the low incidence of associate chromo?somal anomalies.
