Objective:To explore the current status and correlation of occupational stress and burnout among pediatric nurses.Methods:From April 2023 to January 2024, convenience sampling was used to select 150 pediatric nurses from Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, East Campus of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, and Taizhou Enze Medical Center as research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, and Nurse Job Stressors Scale.Results:A total of 150 nurses were surveyed, and 149 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 99.33%. Pediatric nurses had high scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions in occupational burnout. The job stressors for pediatric nurses were ranked in order of their scores in each dimension, including workload and time management, work environment and resources, nursing profession and work, management and interpersonal relationships, and patient nursing. There were correlations between occupational burnout and occupational stress among pediatric nurses in multiple dimensions (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:Pediatric nurses have a relatively high level of occupational burnout and often face significant occupational stress. In the development of the healthcare system, attention should be paid to the occupational burnout and stress of pediatric nurses. The physical and mental health of pediatric nursing staff can be promoted and work efficiency can be improved by reducing the overloaded work of pediatric nurses, optimizing personnel allocation, and improving social support.

Objective:To study the clinical effects of QingxinWendan decoction in the treatment of bipolar disorder (BD) manic episode.Methods:60 patients with BD manic episode treated in Hunan Brain Hospital from February 2020 to December 2020 were prospectively selected. They were included in the control group and the observation group according to the random alphabet method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets, and the observation group was treated with Qingxin Wendan decoction combined with magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets. The curative effect was evaluated after 4 weeks of continuous treatment. The degree of mania before and after treatment was evaluated by Beck-Rafaelsen mania scale (BRMS); the cognitive function before and after treatment was evaluated by Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-RC) and Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS); The levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), neuron specific enolase (NSE) and amyloid β protein (Aβ) levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after treatment. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum NSE and Aβ levels and WAIS-RC and WMS scores in the two groups.Results:The curative effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). After treatment, the BRMS scores of the control group and the observation group decreased (all P<0.05), and the BRMS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group ( P<0.05); After treatment, the WAIS-RC and WMS scores of the control group and the observation group increased (all P<0.05), and the WAIS-RC and WMS scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (all P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ in two groups were decreased (all P<0.05), and the levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). NSE and Aβ levels were negatively correlated with WAIS-RC and WMS scores (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets combined with Qingxin Wendan decoction in the treatment of patients with BD manic episode were superior to magnesium valproate sustained-release tablets alone in reducing manic score, IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ levels, and improving the cognitive function of patients. The use of QingxinWendan decoction on top of valproate extended-release tablet treatment for BD manic episode was superior to treatment with valproate extended-release tablets alone in reducing mania scores, IL-1β, TNF-α, NSE and Aβ levels, as well as improving patients' cognitive function.

Objective:To summarize the clinical and imaging features of pediatric neuroglial heterotopia (NGH) in different locations.Methods:The clinical and preoperative imaging data of 9 patients (6 boys and 3 girls, median age 3 months, range from 1 to13 months) with NGH confirmed by pathology were retrospectively reviewed in Wuhan Children′s Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from October 2009 to December 2020. All patients underwent preoperative CT or/and MR examination. Follow-up was performed in 12 to 60 months after operation, with a median follow-up time of 24 months. The location, range, size, density/signal intensity of the lesions were reviewed.Results:Of all 9 cases, three cases were located in nose (2 extranasal type and 1 mixed type), with the maximum diameter of 13, 13 and 15 mm; there were 3 lesions in tongue, all of which were located on the dorsum of tongue, with the maximum diameter of 13, 18 and 23 mm; there were also 2 cases located in nasopharynx, maximum diameter of 15 and 22 mm, respectively. One case was in sacrococcygeal area, with the maximum diameter as 18 mm. All lesions presented as solid masses with well-defined margins, displaying slightly low density compared to grey matter. The CT value ranged from 25 to 47 HU. Compared to grey matter or spinal cord, MRI demonstrated isointense or slight hypointense on T 1WI and slight hyperintense on T 2WI. All masses presented homogenous density or signal intensity, with mild homogenous enhancement. During postoperative follow-up, no recurrence was found in 8 cases. One case of nasal NGH with gradeⅡcleft lip recurred at 1 month follow-up after surgery, and no recurrence was found after the second surgery. Conclusions:The NGH in children has typical imaging features, and is mostly located at the extracranial midline structure.It presents as solid mass, with quasi-circular morphology, well-defined margins and homogeneous density or signal intensity similar to gray matter or spinal cord. The postoperative recurrence rate is low.

Objective To investigate the effect of naringenin on the killing rate of natural killer (NK) cells and related mechanism by amplification of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into NK cells in vitro and co-culture with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) CLC5 cells at a ratio of 1∶ 1. Methods A lymphocyte separation medium was used to isolate human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, which were induced with recombinant human interleukin-2 in vitro to culture NK cells. CCK-8 assay was used to measure the proliferation of HCC cells after human HCC cells were treated with naringenin (0, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, and 50 μmol/L) for 0, 24, and 48 hours, and after human NK cells were treated with different concentrations of naringenin for 24 hours, CCK-8 assay was used to measure the proliferation of NK cells. CellTiter-LumiTM was used to measure the killing rate of NK cells after the NK-HCC cell co-culture system at the ratio of 1∶ 1 was treated with naringenin for 24 hours. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the gene expression of the activating receptor NKG2D in NK cells and NKG2D ligands in HCC cells. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t -test was used for further comparison between two groups. Results After being induced and cultured by recombinant human interleukin-2, NK cells were amplified to 82.33%±0.70% of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. After naringenin treatment for 24 hours, there was no significant difference in the proliferation rate of HCC CLC5 cells between all mass concentration groups (all P > 0.05), and in the 25 and 50 μmol/L mass concentration groups, naringenin significantly promoted the proliferation of NK cells (both P < 0.000 1). After the NK-HCC cell co-culture system at the ratio of 1∶ 1 was treated with naringenin for 24 hours, there was a significant increase in the killing rate of NK cells in the 25 and 50 μmol/L mass concentration groups (both P < 0.000 1). After the co-culture system was treated with naringenin for 24 hours, naringenin had no effect on the expression of NKG2D in NK cells in the 25 and 50 μmol/L mass concentration groups, and it also had no effect on the expression of MICB and ULBP2 in HCC cells (all P > 0.05); it significantly upregulated the expression of the NKG2D ligands such as ULBP1 and ULBP3 in HCC cells (all P < 0.001). Conclusion Naringenin may increase the killing activity of NK cells by upregulating the expression of NKG2D ligands in HCC cells.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors of occupational stress from occupational hazards in employees of a power grid enterprise. METHODS: A total of 972 employees from 3 substations and 1 power dispatch center of a power grid enterprise were selected as research subjects by the cluster sampling method. The Chinese version of the Job Content Questionnaire was used to evaluate the occupational stress using the job demand control(JDC) model. The influence of occupational hazards on occupational stress was analyzed. RESULTS: The median, the 25 th and 75 th percentile scores [M(P_(25), P_(75))] of the 972 research subjects on job demand, job control, and social support dimensions of JDC model occupational stress were 14(12, 15), 25(23, 26), 24(23, 24), respectively. The M(P_(25), P_(75)) of the demand/control(D/C) ratio was 0.99(0.89, 1.13). The incidence of occupational stress was 48.4%(470/972) by the JDC model. The job demand dimension scores, D/C ratios, and incidence of occupational stress by JDC model were higher in employees exposed to electromagnetic radiation, high temperature, high altitude, and visual display terminal(VDT) than in those employees not exposed to the above factors(all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of occupational stress increased in those employees exposed to high temperature, high altitude and VDT(all P<0.05) after excluding the influence of confounding factors such as age, length of service, monthly income and exercise. The odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals were 1.91(1.43-2.54) and 1.67(1.26-2.21), respectively. CONCLUSION: The level of occupational stress among employees in power grid enterprise is relatively high by JDC model. High-temperature, high-altitude and VDT operation are the main risk factors of occupational stress by JDC model.

The literatures met inclusion criteria were summarized. After quality evaluation with Cochrane system evaluation manual 5.1.0, Meta-analysis of reduction rate (amount) of YGTSS, the incidence of ADR and response rate was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 statistical software. Descriptive analysis was performed on indicators of groups that were unable to perform Meta-analysis. RESULTS: A total of 8 RCTs involving 1 320 patients were included. Among them, 2 RCTs involved placebo in control group; 2 RCTs involved thiopride, 3 RCTs involved haloperidol, and 1 RCT involved thiopride and haloperidol. Results of Meta-analysis showed that reduction rate of YGTSS in trial group were significantly higher than haloperidol group [MD=21.94, 95%CI(21.03, 22.86), P<0.001], but there was no statistical significance compared with thiopride group [MD=10.66, 95%CI(-15.68, 37.00), P=0.43]. The incidence of adverse events (mainly including skin itching, redness, dry mouth, dizziness, decreased blood pressure, abnormal electrocardiogram) in trial group were significantly lower than thiopride group [OR=0.42, 95%CI(0.22, 0.82), P=0.01] and haloperidol group [OR=0.17, 95%CI(0.09, 0.32), P<0.001], but there was no statistical significance compared with placebo group [OR=0.61, 95%CI(0.29, 1.29), P=0.20]. There was no statistical significance in response rate of trial group compared with thiopride group [OR=1.29,95%CI(0.38, 4.39), P=0.69] and haloperidol group [OR=1.63, 95%CI(0.89, 2.96), P=0.11]. The results of descriptive analysis showed that reduction rate (amount) of YGTSS in trial group was significantly higher than that of placebo group (P<0.05), and response rate of trial group was significantly higher than that of placebo group (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: For child tic disorders in children, Clonidine tansdermal patch is better than placebo and haloperidol in reduction rate (amount) of YGTSS, and is similar to thiopride. Response rate of Clonidine tansdermal patch is better than that of placebo, and is similar to those of thiopride and haloperidol. The safety of Clonidine tansdermal patch is better than those of thiopride and haloperidol, and is similar to that of placebo.
