Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between systemic inflammation and long-term mortality in patients with hypertension. Methods: The study employed a retrospective cohort design. The study population was derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), and the mortality data for this population was acquired from the National Death Index (NDI) database. Systemic inflammation was quantified by the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII) and the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI), which were then categorized into four groups (Q1-Q4, with Q4 representing the highest level of SII or SIRI). Weighted Cox regression models were constructed to investigate the association between mortality and SII and SIRI, with hazard ratios (HRs) subsequently calculated. Results: A total of 7431 participants were included in the analysis. The highest quantile (Q4) of SII was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.36, 95% CI 1.1-1.69, P < 0.001). After adjustment for important covariates, the association remained significant (hazard ratio 1.70, 95% CI 1.27-2.30, P < 0.001). The highest quantile (Q4) of SIRI was also associated with the highest risk of mortality (hazard ratio 2.11, 95% CI 1.64-2.70, P < 0.001), and this association remained significant after adjustment for important covariates (hazard ratio 1.64, 95% CI 0.61-1.22, P = 0.001). Conclusion: Both SII and SIRI scores were found to be associated with mortality rates in patients with hypertension. The findings suggest that these scores may serve as complementary biomarkers to the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for assessing mortality risk in patients with hypertension. Further investigation is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that underpin this association.
Life satisfaction (LS) exhibited gender differences and was associated with age, income, and negative emotions. There is no research on the relationship between professional values and LS, although professional values are essential for medical staff and correlate with negative emotions. This study aimed to explore the relationship between professional values and LS, the action mechanism of influencing factors of LS, and gender differences among medical staff of rehabilitation departments in China. A total of 284 participants (108 men and 176 women) completed the questionnaires. Data were analyzed using SPSS19.0 and Amos21.0. Age, length of service, and anxiety differed significantly between genders. Professional values had a direct effect on LS and an indirect effect on LS via anxiety and depression. Therefore, enhancing professional values and reducing anxiety and depression could increase the medical staff’s LS. Moreover, the LS of female medical staff improved with age.
BACKGROUND AND AIM:Burns are common in both everyday life and war. Shock, infection, and organ dysfunction are major complications, among which infection is the most common and has the highest mortality rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of photodynamic therapy(PDT) on animals suffering from burns.METHODS:Through searching Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, only controlled trials were collected to study the effects of PDT on animals with burns. The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality by the MINORS (Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies) assessment tool, and the data analysis software was used to analyze the data accordingly.RESULTS:16 articles were collected between the earliest available date and August 2022. The results of the meta-analysis showed that PDT effectively reduces TNF-α and IL-6 levels in wounds, and increases bFGF and VEGF levels, PDT can also reduce bacterial colonization at the injury site, accelerate the healing of burn wounds, and improve the survival rate.CONCLUSION:PDT has been shown to have positive effects as a treatment for animals suffering from burns. It affects the levels of cytokines, reduces bacterial counts in wounds, promotes wound healing, and improves animal survival rates.

Introduction: Postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction (POGD) is one of the most common complications after colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery and seriously affects the prognosis of patients. Furthermore, current clinical treatment measures have controversial efficacy or strong side effects. Electro-acupuncture (EA) is a safe therapeutic modality for POGD; however, high-quality evidence is scarce at present. This study will aim to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EA for POGD in patients with CRC.Methods: A total of 270 patients with POGD after CRC surgery will be recruited from five hospitals in China and assigned to EA, sham electro-acupuncture (SA), and routine treatment (RT) groups in a 1:1:1 ratio. Patients in the RT group will receive treatment based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS), health education, and routine care. Patients in the EA and SA groups will be treated with EA or SA on the basis of RT, respectively, from postoperative days one to three, once per day. Follow-up will be performed at seven and fourteen days after surgery. The primary outcome is the time to the first postoperative passing flatus. Secondary outcomes include the following: time of first postoperative bowel movement, postoperative bowel sound recovery time, gastro-intestinal symptom rating scale, I-FEED (intake, feeling nauseated, emesis, physical exam, duration of symptoms) scale, postoperative surgical site pain degree, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Version 3.0 (EORTC QLQ-C30 (V3.0)), EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire -Colorectal Cancer 29 (EORTC QLQ-CR29), postoperative complications, adverse acupuncture events, etc.Discussion: This study design is rigorous, and a scientific placebo acupuncture method is used. The advantages are (1) multi-center, prospective, large sample randomized control with strict quality control; (2) the placebo control method can minimize the true acupuncture effect on the basis of blinding patients as much as possible; (3) the gastrointestinal function and quality of life of POGD patients after passing flatus and defecation will be analyzed. Conclusion: The findings of the 3-arm clinical trial will demonstrate whether EA is effective and safe for patients with POGD after CRC surgery.Trial registration: ChiCTR2200062275 (registered on 31-07-2022).
BackgroundOnline lending on campus is given more attention by researchers as its prominent adverse effects on students. The deficiencies of the previous studies on its psychological factors and intervention strategies were only based on qualitative research. Moreover, there is no study on gender differences. Therefore, our study aims to analyze the gender differences in psychological risk factors and give some practical suggestions for the intervention by quantitative methods.MethodThis is a cross-sectional survey among medical college students in Chengdu. A total of 984 effective questionnaires were collected. The questionnaire includes demographic data, monthly expenses, self-evaluation for three central psychology causing online lending based on empiricism (conformity, comparison, and hedonism), and three psychological assessment instruments (the Chinese version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran, and 144-item version of Temperament and Character Inventory). T-test/χ2-test and Binary logistic regression were used to analyze the gender differences in variables and the risk factors of online lending for males and females, respectively.ResultsThe utilization rate of online lending exhibited a significant gender difference (p < 0.001). In addition, there were gender differences in the scores on SWLS and some subscales of C-EMBU and TCI-144. The risk factors for males’ were family members using online lending (OR = 5.527, 95% CI = 1.784–17.125) and lower scores on HA (OR = 0.938, 95% CI = 0.888–0.990). The risk factors for females’ online lending were family members using online lending (OR = 2.288, 95% CI = 1.201–4.362), hedonism (OR = 5.913, 95% CI = 1.327–26.341), and higher scores on mother’s punishment (OR = 1.099, 95% CI = 1.007–1.199).ConclusionThe utilization rate of online lending in males was significantly higher than in females. More attention should be paid to gender differences and the impact of family members’ using online lending on students when intervening in online lending.
Severe burn patients often have anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. The case we reported was very nervous and exhibited a long-term high-frequency startle response, which disrupted his sleep seriously and decreased treatment compliance. However, after psychological treatment, his startle response in the daytime and nervousness gradually improved, but the startle response at night remained unchanged. Furthermore, after his wife was given three sessions of psychological treatment to manage her fear of surgery, the startle response at night was significantly reduced. Herein, we summarize the inductive stimuli of the startle response and the critical points of psychological treatment in this case to provide the clinical experience for future research.
Background: Natural disasters such as earthquakes are highly associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Wenchuan earthquake in 2008 was the worst earthquake in the modern history of China, but the long-term prevalence of PTSD among earthquake victims, particularly those with disabilities, remains unknown. This study investigated the long-term effect of PTSD brought about by the Wenchuan earthquake, and its relationship with demographic factors. Methods: A total of 308 earthquake victims who suffered from physical disabilities resulting from the Wenchuan earthquake were recruited from three hospitals in Sichuan to participate in a 10-year cross-sectional survey. Outcome measures included the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule, and the European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions questionnaire. Results: Statistically significant relationships were found between PTSD and gender, returning to old occupations, loss and/or severe injury of relatives and/or friends, pain, cognition, depression, and anxiety. Female gender, loss of relatives and friends, and a diagnosis of amputation or fracture were significant predictive factors for PTSD. The prevalence of PTSD for earthquake victims with physical disabilities 10 years later was 42.21%. Participation and engagement in daily life and community activities was negatively correlated with PTSD. Conclusions: Earthquake victims still presented with PTSD 10 years after the disaster, particularly among victims who had suffered permanent loss of body parts or other physical disabilities. Identification of the risk factors in victims should be implemented as early as possible to provide them with the best support for their mental wellbeing.

Objective:To compare the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at three different relatively high frequencies on neuropathic pain so as to find the best frequency.Methods:One hundred Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, a TMS group and a control stimulation group. The TMS group was further divided into a 5Hz group, a 10Hz group, and a 20Hz group. The rats in the model, control stimulation and TMS groups received constriction injury of the sciatic nerve, while the rats in the sham group were given a sham version of the operation. On the third day after the operation the rats in the TMS group and the control stimulation group began to receive TMS treatment. Neuropatic pain was evaluated on the day before the operation, and on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th days after the operation. The evaluations included the paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL) and the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT).Results:The average PWTLs and PWMTs in all of the TMS groups increased with the TMS treatment. Those of the 10Hz and 20Hz groups were significantly higher than the 5Hz group′s average, while there were no significant differences between the 10Hz group and 20Hz group.Conclusions:High-frequency TMS at different frequencies has different effects on neuropathic pain, at least in rats. The treatment efficacy at 10 and 20Hz is superior to that at 5Hz.
