    Abstract Aim: To adapt culturally and assess the reliability and validity of the Attitudes, Subjective Norms, Perceived Behavioural Control and Intention to Pursue a Career in Mental Health Nursing (ASPIRE) scale among Chinese nursing students.
    Background: Mental health nurses make up a substantial proportion of the mental health workforce and are pivotal for improving access to professional mental health care. However, a shortage of mental health nurses persists across various countries. Although new nursing graduates have the potential to alleviate the labor shortages, there is currently no standardized tool specifically designed to measure nursing students' intentions to pursue a career in mental health nursing in China.
    Design: A quantitative and cross-sectional design.
    Methods: Following email authorization from the author, the Chinese version of the ASPIRE scale was translated following the cross-cultural adaptation process guidelines established by the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS). A questionnaire survey was conducted among 540 nursing students from three universities in Hunan Province from April 2023 to October 2023. Nine experts were invited to evaluate the content equivalence of each item. Item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability were used to test reliability and validity.
    Results: The Chinese version of the ASPIRE scale retained 14 items and it has high content validity. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant difference in the correlation between the total scores of the items (P < 0.001). Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the one-factor solution explained 65.82% of the total variance and confirmatory factor analysis results indicated a good fit (CMIN/DF = 2.64, RMSEA = 0.079, GFI = 0.908, IFI = 0.964, SRMR = 0.0326). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.958 and the test-retest coefficient was 0.783.
    Conclusion: The Chinese version of the ASPIRE scale has great reliability and validity and can be used for assessing Chinese nursing students' intention to pursue a career in mental health nursing.

    Abstract Aims: To synthesize the influencing factors of the stigma of nursing students towards people with mental illness (PMI).
    Background: The stigma of nursing students towards PMI may affect their career choices and negatively impact people seeking health services. While many studies have examined the educational aspects of mental health, they often overlook the multiple dimensions of possible factors influencing nursing students' perceptions.
    Design: A mixed-method systematic review using the Framework Integrating Normative Influences on Stigma (FINIS).
    Methods: We will search six databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO. The reference list of the included literature will be thoroughly examined to identify if any additional studies meet the criteria. Two authors will independently screen all titles, abstracts, full text and extract data. The Mixed-method Appraisal Tool will be used to assess quality. The extracted data will be disposed to different levels, including micro (demographic characteristics, disease characteristics), meso (social networks, treatment systems) and macro (media images, national context) to comply with the FINIS.
    Expected results: This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze the influencing factors of the stigma of nursing students towards PMI, providing a reference basis for anti-stigma intervention measures.Prospero registration number: CRD42022374419.

    Abstract Background: Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare inflammatory disorder in children. However, there is still no standard guideline in the treatment of pediatric eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
    Aim: To report our experience with the diagnosis and treatment of children with eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
    Methods: From January 2017 to December 2019, a total of 22 children were diagnosed with eosinophilic gastroenteritis.
    Results: Endoscopic examination showed eosinophil infiltration in the duodenum [mean number of eosinophils/high-power field (HPF) = 53.1 ± 81.5], stomach (mean number of eosinophils/HPF = 36.8 ± 50.5), and terminal ileum (mean number of eosinophils/HPF = 49.0 ± 24.0). All 18 children with low eosinophil infiltration (< 14%) responded well to the initial drug treatment without relapse, while two of four children with high eosinophil infiltration (> 14%) relapsed after initial methylprednisolone/montelukast treatment. In addition, children with high eosinophil infiltration (> 14%) showed symptomatic relief and histological remission without further relapse after receiving budesonide/methylprednisolone as initial or relapse treatment.
    Conclusion: Methylprednisolone/montelukast is still the best treatment for children with low eosinophil infiltration (< 14%). Budesonide can be considered as the initial or relapse treatment for children with high eosinophil infiltration (> 14%).

    Title translation Upper gastrointestinal ulcer in children: a clinical analysis of 173 cases.
    Abstract Objectives: To study the clinical manifestations and gastroscopic characteristics of upper gastrointestinal ulcer in children.
    Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for the children who underwent gastroscopy and were found to have upper gastrointestinal ulcer for the first time at the Endoscopy Center of Shengjing Hospital, China Medical University, from January 2011 to May 2021. According to the cause of the disease, they were divided into primary ulcer group (primary group;
    Results: A total of 173 children with upper gastrointestinal ulcer were enrolled, with a male/female ratio of 3.9:1. Compared with girls, boys had significantly higher proportions of duodenal ulcer and primary ulcer (
    Conclusions: Upper gastrointestinal ulcer is more common in boys than girls, and duodenal ulcer and primary ulcer are more common in boys. Children aged 6-14 years often have duodenal ulcer and primary ulcer, and giant ulcer and multiple ulcers are relatively uncommon. Primary ulcer in children has a variety of clinical manifestations, mainly abdominal pain, and duodenal ulcer is relatively common, with bleeding as the main complication. The clinical symptoms and endoscopic manifestations of secondary ulcer are closely associated with the primary causes, and it is more likely to induce huge ulcers and multiple ulcers.

    Abstract Background: Awake craniotomy (AC) is performed to remove the lesions near or in eloquent areas, during which the patients are alert and without any airway instrument. Apnea is a severe complication in AC. Here, the authors describe a case of sudden apnea induced by unexpected local anesthesia of the brainstem during AC.
    Observations: A 42-year-old male underwent AC for a large, recurrent, bilateral frontal lobe mass and experienced transient apnea and loss of brainstem reflexes during the surgery. The patient recovered spontaneous breath rhythm just a few minutes after the removal of a lidocaine cotton pledget, which was found near the patient's midbrain. Then the patient awoke and cooperated to finish the surgery.
    Lessons: The administration of a local anesthetic subdurally in AC is common but risky. The scouring action of cerebral spinal fluid can spread those agents and cause unexpected brainstem anesthesia. A lower concentration of the anesthetic and keeping away from the cistern can make it safer.

    Abstract Introduction: Congenital diarrhea is a rare inherited intestinal disease characterized by persistent and severe diarrhea and malabsorption in the first few weeks after birth, which can be life-threatening. Some congenital diarrheal diseases are associated with mutations in the diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1
    Case descriptions: This study delineated 2 cases of diarrhea and growth retardation, subsequently confirmed as congenital diarrhea via genetic testing, revealing that the etiology involved compound heterozygous mutations in the DGAT1 gene.
    Diagnostic assessments: High-MCT milk powder did not obtain an ideal outcome, whereas low-fat diets improved the symptoms of diarrhea and increased the body weigths.
    Disscussion: The two cases facilitated our understanding of the clinical features of, and treatments for, patients harboring a DGAT1 mutation and enriched the existing DGAT1 mutation database.

    Abstract Purpose: Evidence from previous studies on the association between cholecystectomy and risk of gastric cancer are still inconsistent. We aimed at conducting a meta-analysis of epidemiological studies to evaluate this association.
    Methods: Researchers searched three databases (PubMed, Embase and Web of Science) through January 2021 for eligible studies. Relative risks (RRs) and 95% CIs in each included studies were pooled by random-effects models. Patients and the public were not involved in our study.
    Results: Eight studies were identified. Four studies reported significantly positive association between history of cholecystectomy and risk of gastric cancer, and the remaining studies reported null association. The pooled RR of these eight studies showed that a history of cholecystectomy was associated with a 11% higher risk of gastric cancer (pooled RR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.03 to 1.20). Moderate heterogeneity across the studies was detected (p=0.117, I
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis suggests that a history of cholecystectomy may be associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer.

    Abstract To investigate the clinical characteristics of Kawasaki disease (KD) presenting with abdominal manifestation as the first manifestation. Our findings may help improve the cognition of KD with abdominal complications, and avoid misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. A retrospective analysis was conducted of 1490 KD patients admitted to Shengjing Hospital between January 2019 and March 2022. Clinical characteristics, related factors, and prognosis of KD with abdominal manifestation as first manifestation were analyzed. Based on the presenting symptoms, patients were divided into gastrointestinal symptom group (n = 141), liver dysfunction group (n = 55), and control group (n = 1294). In the gastrointestinal group, diarrhea [100 cases (70.9%)], vomiting [55 cases (39.0%)], and abdominal pain [34 cases (24.1%)] were the most common symptoms at onset. 8 cases (5.7%) were complicated with pseudo-intestinal obstruction, 6 cases (4.3%) with ischemic colitis, 5 cases (3.5%) with pancreatitis, 2 cases (1.4%) with appendicitis, and 1 case (0.7%) with cholecystitis. Comparied to ordinary gastroenteritis caused by infection, gastroenteritis with KD has longer fever duration before treatment, higher WBC, PLT, CRP, AST levels and lower albumin levels. All patients in the liver dysfunction group had elevated transaminases, and 19 patients (34.5%) presented with jaundice. In the gastrointestinal group, the average hospital stay was 10.3 days, and the incidence of IVIG unresponsiveness and coronary artery lesion were 18.4% and 19.9%, respectively, which were significantly higher than that in the control group. In the liver dysfunction group, the average hospital stay (11.18 days), incidence of IVIG unresponsiveness (25.5%), and incidence of coronary artery lesion (29.1%) were significantly higher than that in the control group. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, gastrointestinal involvement, fever duration, ALT, PLT, and CRP were identified as risk factors for CAL, younger age, gastrointestinal involvement and fever duration were risk factors for IVIG unresponsiveness.  Conclusion: KD with gastrointestinal involvement is associated with a higher risk of IVIG unresponsiveness and coronary artery lesion. KD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children with acute fever, especially those with gastrointestinal involvement and liver dysfunction. What is Known: • Fever duration, PLT, and CRP were identified as risk factors for CAL. Timely diagnosis and application of IVIG treatment can avoid exploratory laparotomy for ileus, appendectomy for misdiagnosed appendicitis, colonoscopy for misdiagnosed inflammatory bowel disease, and reduce the complications of CAL and IVIG unresponsiveness. What is New: • Abdominal symptoms as the first manifestation can be an independent risk factor for CAL and IVIG unresponsiveness. KD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children with acute fever, especially those with gastrointestinal symptoms or liver dysfunction. • Gastroenteritis in KD group had longer fever duration before treatment, accompanied with higher WBC, PLT, CRP, AST levels and lower albumin levels than those gastroenteritis caused by infection. Therefore, high attention should be paid to the possibility of KD when gastroenteritis accompanied by along fever duration, high WBC, PLT, CRP, AST level or lowalbumin level.

    Abstract Objective: To study the effects of unexpected follicular development and ovulation in artificial cycles (ACs) on pregnancy outcomes.
    Design: A retrospective cohort study.
    Setting: A university-affiliated fertility center.
    Patient(s): A total of 1,427 patients who underwent a single, frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer with AC regimens from January 2014 to December 2020 at a university-affiliated fertility center were included.
    Intervention(s): Unexpected follicular development and ovulation in ACs.
    Main outcome measure(s): Live birth rate (LBR), biochemical pregnancy rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and ongoing pregnancy rate.
    Result(s): A total of 161 patients with unexpected follicular development and ovulation in ACs (ovulation group) and 1,266 patients without growing follicles in ACs (control group) were enrolled. The patients in the ovulation group were older and had higher levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone and lower levels of serum antimüllerian hormone. After propensity score matching, the baseline characteristics between the 2 groups were comparable and no significant difference was observed in the LBR (ovulation group, 39.0% vs. control group, 39.0%), biochemical pregnancy rate (ovulation group, 60.3% vs. control group, 58.2%), clinical pregnancy rate (ovulation group, 53.4% vs. control group, 50.7%), or ongoing pregnancy rate (ovulation group, 42.5% vs. control group, 40.4%). Moreover, the patients in the ovulation group showed a lower risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) (1.6% vs. 15.3%). A subgroup analysis of women who delivered singleton live-born babies also demonstrated that unexpected follicular development and ovulation in ACs was associated with a decreased risk of HDP (adjusted odds ratio, 0.070; 95% confidence interval, 0.007-0.712) and an increased risk of large-for-gestational-age infants (adjusted odds ratio, 4.046; 95% confidence interval, 1.319-12.414).
    Conclusion(s): Women with unexpected follicular development and ovulation during single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer with AC regimens had a similar LBR and a reduced risk of HDP compared with those with routine AC regimens, and singleton neonates had an increased risk of being large for gestational age.
