    Abstract Introduction: Preprints have become an important tool for meeting the challenges of health communication in the context of COVID-19. They allow scientists to disseminate their results more quickly due to the absence of a peer review process. Preprints have been well-received by scientists, however, there have been concerns about the exposure of wider public audiences to preprints due in part to this lack of peer review.
    Methods: The aim of this study is to examine the dissemination of preprints on medRxiv and bioRxiv during the COVID-19 pandemic using content analysis and statistical analysis.
    Results: Our findings show that preprints have played an unprecedented role in disseminating COVID-19-related science results to the public.
    Discussion: While the overall media coverage of preprints is unsatisfactory, digital native news media performed better than legacy media in reporting preprints, which means that we could make the most of digital native media to improve health communication. This study contributes to understanding how science communication has evolved in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and provides some practical recommendations.

    Abstract Climate change is a serious threat to humankind. As broad public participation is required in climate change mitigation efforts, it is critical to understand how the public talk about climate change on social media. This study sets out to increase the understanding of Chinese public awareness of climate change, as well as explore the potential and limitations of social media for public engagement on climate change issues. It examines the Chinese public's discussion about climate change on social media Weibo during the last six years through data mining and text analysis. The analyses include volume analysis, keyword extraction, topic modeling, and sentiment analysis. The results indicate three main aspects of public awareness and concern regarding climate change. First, public awareness of climate change is growing in China. Second, the sentiment analysis shows that the general sentiment toward climate change is becoming more positive over time. Third, based on keyword extraction and topic modeling, the discussion on climate change shows a top-down perspective, an optimistic economic perspective, and a preference for celebrity content. The study provides a comprehensive picture of Chinese social media users' views on climate change issues, based on large-scale research data. It contributes to a better understanding of what Chinese people think about climate change on social media generally. These findings may provide government and environmental organizations with valuable insights for better climate change campaigns on social media.

    Abstract There are a lot of environmental protection musicals and dances in public entertainment life to support the concept of environmental protection and to entice people to support the cause of environmental protection. As we all know, in a musical performance, the distance between the audience and the actors, the design of the stage environment, the training of the actors, the costumes of the actors, the makeup of the actors, and the musical accompaniment will all have more or less influence on the stage performance effects. In order to make environmental protection music and dance dramas profoundly meaningful to social production and human activities, it is especially important to analyze the stage performance of such music and dance dramas. The analysis of stage performance effects is not only beneficial to making the ideas spread by the music and dance drama penetrate into people's hearts but can also provide guiding suggestions for the production of music and dance drama. Therefore, this paper proposes a linear regression algorithm based on artificial intelligence to deeply explore and analyze the influence of the above six factors on the stage performance effects of environmental protection music and dance drama. In our method, first we preprocess the data collected by classification to remove the odd values from the data so that the various types of data conform to a normal distribution. Secondly, we obtained linear fit plots of the six factors with the stage performance effect scores by using a linear regression algorithm to deeply analyze the correlation between various types of data and the stage performance effect scores. Finally, through numerical calculations, we found that the distance between the audience and the actors, the training of the actors, and the musical accompaniment have a greater influence on the performance effect of the musical cabaret in the environmental protection category. Meanwhile, the costumes of the actors, the makeup of the actors, and the design of the stage environment have less influence on the performance effect of the musical cabaret. Therefore, in the production and performance of environmental protection music and dance dramas, producers and performers should pay more attention to the distance between the audience and the actors, the design of musical accompaniment, and the training of actors. To sum up, this paper has made a scientific, detailed, and reasonable analysis of the performance effect of environmental protection music and dance dramas on stage, contributing to the dissemination of environmental protection ideas.

    Abstract Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients not only require life-sustaining treatments but also the preservation of their psychological well-being and dignity, and ICU nurses face heavy work pressure, focusing more on life-sustaining treatments for patients, while the patient's psychological experiences are often overlooked. This article aims to explore the issue of nurse-led patient dignity preservation in the ICU from China. Reflection is a process of deep thinking and examining one's actions, experiences, perspectives, or emotions. It involves retrospectively reviewing, analyzing, and evaluating past events to gain insights, understanding, and personal growth. Through reflection, individuals can consider whether their actions align with their values and goals and whether they can learn valuable lessons from them. This article discusses the preservation of patient dignity in the ICU from China based on Taylor's Emancipatory Reflection Model, which involves four steps: constructing, deconstructing, confronting, and reconstructing. The process of reflection incorporates theories such as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Comfort Theory, and the style of Paternalistic Decision-making. This study is of great significance in enhancing Chinese nurse's attention to patient dignity, improving the inpatient experience of ICU patients, and enhancing the quality of nursing practice by critically examining current nursing practices in China and providing improvement recommendations.

    Abstract Background: Increasing evidence has shown a link between immune cells and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to determine the causal association between 731 immune cell signatures and AD in this study.
    Methods: We extracted genetic variants of 731 immune cell traits and AD from the publicly available GWAS dataset. The immune features included median fluorescence intensity (MFI), relative cellular (RC), absolute cellular (AC) and morphological parameters (MP). The inverse variance weighted (IVW) method was the main MR analysis method, and sensitivity analyses were used to validate the robustness, heterogeneity and horizontal pleiotropy of the results.
    Results: After FDR adjustment, seven immune phenotypes were found to be associated significantly with AD risk: HLA DR on CD33
    Conclusions: These findings demonstrated seven immune phenotypes were significantly associated with AD risk. This may provide researchers with a new perspective in exploring the biological mechanisms of AD and may lead to the exploration of earlier treatment.

    Abstract Objective: Multivariate logistic regression analysis of preeclampsia in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension and the risk predictive value of monitoring platelet, coagulation function and thyroid hormone in pregnant women.
    Methods: The data of 120 pregnant women who delivered their babies at Xinyu Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Among the subjects studied, 60 were patients with preeclampsia as a study group and 60 healthy pregnant women were assigned to a control group. The clinical data of pregnant women were recorded, including age, weight gain during pregnancy, nationality, education level, times of antenatal examinations, times of pregnancy and parturition, discovery of gestational weeks, multiple pregnancies, amniotic fluid volume, neonatal weight, history of in vitro fertilization combined with embryo transfer, history of diabetes, kidney disorders or preeclampsia, family background of high blood pressure, anemia and so on. The clinical test data, such as platelet count and volume, coagulation function and thyroid hormone, were collected in two groups of pregnant women. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed on preeclampsia. The predictive value of platelet, coagulation function and thyroid hormone on preeclampsia was explored.
    Results: We compared the general hematological parameters. Univariate Logistic analysis found that age, history of diabetes, nephropathy or preeclampsia, family background of elevated blood pressure, weight gain during pregnancy, frequency of pregnancy and multiple pregnancies were all risk factors for preeclampsia. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis screened out that age, history of diabetes, kidney disorders or preeclampsia, family background of hypertension were independent risk factors for preeclampsia. The white blood cell count and platelet count of the study group were lower than those of the control group. Moreover, observed patients displayed a larger average platelet volume (P<0.05). Significant differences were found in glutamic pyruvic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, lactate dehydrogenase, albumin, serum creatinine and uric acid, as well as in thrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time between the two groups (P<0.05). In terms of thyroid function, obvious differences were found in serum thyrotropin and free thyroxine between the two groups (P<0.05).
    Conclusion: Age, history of diabetes, kidney disorders or preeclampsia, family background of highly blood pressure are independent risk factors for preeclampsia. Platelet, coagulation function and thyroid hormone levels can have a certain risk predictive value.

    Abstract Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture for myasthenia gravis (MG) were searched and the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of MG was evaluated by meta-analysis.
    Methods: We searched for RCTs in six main electronic databases, and collected RCTs of acupuncture treatment for MG from database creation to 28 February 2023. The main outcome was the effective rate and the secondary outcome was the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) relative clinical score, absolute clinical score (ACS) of MG, Quantitive myasthenia gravis score (QMG), quality of life, and adverse events. Odds ratios (ORs) and weighted mean differences (WMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess pooled effect estimates using Review Manager software.
    Results: A total of 14 RCTs were included. Meta-analysis showed that the effective rate in the acupuncture group was significantly improved compared with conventional Western medicine alone [OR = 4.28, 95% CI (2.95, 6, 22), P<0.005]. The pooled WMDs revealed that TCM relative clinical score [WMD = -2.22, 95% CI = (-2.53, -1.90), P<0.005], ACS of MG [WMD = -3.14, 95% CI = (-3.67, -2.62), P<0.005], and QMG [WMD = -0.88, 95% CI = (-1.46, -0.29), P<0.005] in the acupuncture group was lower than the control group. Adverse reactions related to acupuncture and quality of life were less mentioned among included RCTs.
    Conclusion: This meta-analysis demonstrated that acupuncture as an auxiliary may play a positive role in treating MG. It can improve the effective rate of treatment, and reduce TCM relative clinical score, ACS of MG, and QMG. However, the quality of included studies was generally low and caution should be exercised when considering this treatment option. In the future, more rigorous study designs and high-quality RCTs are needed to verify the efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of MG, because the results of high-quality RCTs are more reliable and accurate.
