The relationship between psychological capital, burnout and perceived stress in junior nurses: a latent profile analysis.

Background: Psychological capital, an intrinsic personal asset, enhances junior nurses' ability to navigate transition and sustain superior job performance. This study aimed to classify junior nurses into distinct psychological capital profiles and examine their associations with burnout and perceived stress levels. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 480 junior nurses from three hospitals in Beijing assessed psychological capital, stress, and burnout using e-questionnaires, from July 2021 to August 2022. We employed exploratory latent profile analysis for psychological capital profiling and logistic regression with the best subset method to identify the influential factors. Results: The results of the latent profile analysis supported the models of two latent profiles, which were defined as low psychological capital (224, 46.5%) and high psychological capital (256, 53.5%). Logistic regression revealed that introverted nurses and those experiencing moderate to high levels of burnout and stress were more likely to exhibit low psychological capital. Conclusion: Nursing management should proactively identify and support junior nurses with low psychological capital, with a focus on introverted individuals, to mitigate the impact of stress and burnout.

Laparoscopic radical resection for situs inversus totalis with colonic splenic flexure carcinoma: A case report.

BACKGROUND: Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare group of congenital developmental malformations in the clinical setting, with all organs in the chest and abdomen existing in a mirror image reversal of their normal positions. Few reports have described laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer in patients with SIT, and it is considered difficult even for an experienced surgeon because of the mirror positioning. We present a case report of laparoscopic radical resection of a colonic splenic flexure carcinoma in a patient with SIT. CASE SUMMARY: A 72-year-old male was referred to our hospital with colonic splenic flexure carcinoma, and computed tomography showed that all the organs in the chest and abdomen were inverted. Laparoscopic hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision was safely performed. The operating surgeon stood on the patient's left side, which is opposite of the normal location. CONCLUSION: Abdominal computed tomography is an effective method for diagnosing SIT preoperatively in patients with colonic splenic flexure carcinomas. Laparoscopic radical resection is difficult, but it is well established and safe. The surgeon should stand in the opposite position and perform backhand operations.

Risk Analysis of Positive PD-L1 Expression and Clinicopathological Features and Survival Prognosis in Patients with Colorectal Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

In order to explore the significance of PD-L1 expression in the prognosis and clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer (CRC), the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and multisquare databases are systematically searched for the relevant relationship between PD-L1 expression and CRC prognosis. The search time is completed until June 2021. Literature is filtered and data extracted by inclusion exclusion criteria, and Meta-analysis is performed with Stata SE12.0 software. 16 documents are included, and a total of 1997 CRC patients are included. The results show that recurrence-free survival (RFS) [OR = 2.69, 95%CI (2.07,3.48), P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%, Z = 7.50), and disease-free survival (DFS) (OR = 3.71, 95% CI (2.32,5.93), P < 0.00001, I2 = 37%, Z = 5.48) and PD-L1 expression and tumor differentiation (OR = 4.00, 95%CI (2.97,5.38), P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%, Z = 9.11) and lymphatic action metastasis (OR = 2.69,95% CI (2.07,3.48), P < 0.00001, I2 = 0%, Z = 7.50) is significantly associated.PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue suggests a poor prognosis in colorectal cancer, and the predictive significance of PD-L1 expression and PD-L1 expression in tumor cells in tumor-infiltrating immune cells may be inconsistent.
