Objective To analyze the influencing factors of disaster resilience in medical rescue workers,to construct a prediction model for the low-level risk of disaster resilience in medical rescue workers,and to verify the predictive effect of the model.Methods Using the convenience sampling method and the snowball method,1 037 medical rescue workers who participated in disaster rescue in 18 provinces(autonomous regions and municipalities)were selected as the participants from May to July 2022.Online questionnaire surveys were conducted using general information questionnaires,disaster resilience measuring tools for healthcare rescuers,the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale,the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire and the Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the independent influencing factors for the low level of disaster resilience of medical rescue workers.A risk prediction model was constructed,and a nomogram chart was drawn.The model's effectiveness was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)and calibration curve.The Bootstrap method was applied for internal validation.Results The logistic regression analysis showed that per capita monthly income of households,whether to participate in on-site disaster rescue,positive coping,mindfulness level,and adequacy of rescue supplies were independent influencing factors for the disaster resilience of medical rescue workers(P＜0.05).The predictive formula for the low-level risk of disaster resilience in medical rescue workers was established as follows:Logit(P)=8.741-0.381 x per capita monthly income of households-0.891 x whether to participate in on-site disaster rescue-2.544 x positive coping-0.020 x mindfulness level-0.222 x adequacy of rescue supplies.The area under the ROC curve was 0.823,and the optimal critical value was 0.353.The sensitivity and specificity were 79.12％and 71.43％,respectively.The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that x2=12.250(P=0.140),and the predicted curve fitted well with the ideal curve.The external validation showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the model were 75.00％and 66.39％,respectively,and the overall accuracy was 69.95％.Conclusion The prediction model in this study has sound predictive effects and can provide references and guidance for managers to select,recruit,and train medical rescue workers.

Objective To compare the effects of losartan and irbesartan on blood pressure,blood uric acid,insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance in female hypertensive patients complicated with hyperuricemia.Methods From August 2015 to December 2017,100 females of hypertension complicated with hyperuricemia who hospitalized in the Third People's Hospital of Ningxia were enrolled in the study.All the patients were divided into two groups according to the random digital table,with 50 cases in each group.The observation group was treated with losartan,and the control group was treated with irbesartan for 8 weeks.The total effective rate and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Also the changes of blood pressure,serum uric acid,fasting glucose (FBG),fasting insulin (FINS),high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),insulin sensitivity index (ISI) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were compared between the two groups after treatment.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups [92.0％ (46/50) vs.90.0％ (45/50)] (P ＞ 0.05).Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in blood pressure,serum uric acid,FBG,FINS,hs-CRP,ISI and HOMA-IR between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure in the two groups were (133.09 ± 10.11) mmHg vs.(131.54 ± 11.01) mmHg and (82.76 ± 6.23) mmHg vs.(83.75 ± 6.88) mmHg,which were lower than those before treatment (observation group:t =19.742,10.606,control group:t =18.925,-9.956,all P ＜ 0.05).But there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).After treatment,the serum uric acid in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [(387.21 ± 25.56) μmol/L vs.(429.67 ± 27.44) μmol/L] (t =8.006,P ＜ 0.05).The hs-CRP,FINS,HOMA-IR,ISI in the observation group were (4.92 ± 1.02) rmg/L,(15.92 ± 3.01) mU/L,(1.71 ± 0.24),(1.047 ± 0.095),which in the control group were (4.54 ± 1.00) mg/L,(17.23 ± 3.20) mU/L,(1.65 ± 0.27),(1.140 ± 0.083).After treatment,the hs-CRP,FINS,HOMA-IR in the two groups were decreased (all P ＜ 0.05),while ISI was increased (P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore,the improvement of FINS,ISI and HOMA-IR in the observation group was better than those in the control group (t =2.109,-5.213,3.191,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Both losartan and irbesartan can improve clinical symptoms,lower blood pressure and improve insulin resistance in female hypertension patients complicated with hyperuricemia,and losartan is more effective than irbesartan.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of the plasma growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 100 patients with CHF were in?cluded in this study (CHF group), and 30 healthy persons were used as control group. CHF group was divided into heart func? tionⅡgrade (n=35),Ⅲgrade (n=32),Ⅳgrade (n=33) groups in accordance with New York Heart Association (NYHA). And CHF group was also divided into left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<0.4 grade (n=52) and LVEF≥0.4 grade (n=48) groups in accordance with LVEF of patients. The plasma GDF-15 and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were detected by ELISA. The values of LVEF, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), left ventricular systolic diameter (LVDs) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were detected by echocardiography. The correlation of GDF-15, NYHA classifi?cation, BNP and index of echocardiography was analyzed between groups. Results Compared with control group, the levels of BNP, GDF-15, LVDd and LVDs were significantly higher in heart failure group, and values of LVEF and LVFS were sig?nificantly lower (P<0.05). The plasma levels of BNP, GDF-15, LVDd and LVDs were in turn increased in control group, LVEF≥0.4 grade group and LVEF<0.4 grade group. The plasma levels of LVFS were in turn decreased, in control group, LVEF≥0.4 grade group and LVEF<0.4 grade group (P<0.05). There were positive correlations between the plasma levels of GDF-15 and BNP, NYHA, LVDd and LVDs (r=0.524, 0.286, 0.453 and 0.531, P<0.05). The plasma level of GDF-15 was negatively correlated with LVEF and LVFS (r=-0.592,-0.587,P<0.05). Conclusion The plasma level of GDF-15 can be used as a new marker for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in patients with chronic congestive heart failure.

Objective: To investigate the protection roll of rosuvastatin on chronic heart failure (CHF) in rats with its effect on asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) metabolic pathway. Methods: A total of 36 male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, n=12 in each group. Isoproterenol (ISO) group, the rats received ISO subcutaneous injection (5mg·kg·d) for 7 days to establish CHF model, and then received normal saline gavage administration for 7 days. Rosuvastatin (ROS) treatment group, the rats received ISO with ROS for 7 days, then continuously receiving ROS until 14 days. Normal control group, the rats received saline gavage administration for 7 days. The related serum index and haemodynamic parameters were examined, myocardial pathological changes were observed and the relevant protein expression was measured by Western blot analysis. Results: Compared with Normal control group, ISO group had obviously increased troponin (cTn I), serum ADMA,-LVdP/dtmin, all P0.05. Conclusion: Rosuvastatin has the protective roll on ISO induced CHF in rats, which might be related to decreased serum levels of cTn I, BNP and ADMA metabolic pathway regulation.
