Observational Study
Influence of patient safety perception and attitude on inpatients' willingness to participate in patient safety: An observation study.
Patient safety (PS) in clinical settings focuses primarily on ensuring active patient participation. However, there is limited understanding of patients' willingness to participate. This study aimed to investigate the association between PS perception, attitude, and inpatients' willingness to participate in PS. ⋯ Based on these research findings, it is important to provide inpatients with education and campaigns to improve their perceptions and attitudes toward PS. In addition, it is essential to develop programs that encourage and support patient engagement in PS in hospitals. These efforts will promote active implementation of PS activities by inpatients in clinical settings.

The aim of this research was to explore the effect of exercise atmosphere (EA) on the flow experience (FE) and subjective well-being (SWB) of middle school students and further analyze the mediating effect of FE between EA and SWB, and to provide theoretical references for improving middle school students' SWB. A cross-sectional design was used. 1056 middle school students from 6 middle schools in Sichuan, China, voluntarily completed the Exercise Atmosphere Scale (EAS), Short (9-item) Dispositional Flow Scales (SDFS-2), Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SLS). The data collected for this investigation were processed using SPSS 19.0 and Process 3.0. ⋯ FE partially mediated the relationship between EA and SWB. The study demonstrated the mediating effect of FE between EA and middle school students' SWB. It was proposed that the positive EA contributes to the emergence of FE during physical exercise in middle school students, which leads to a better sense of SWB.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of legumain in metabolic dysfunction, diagnosis, and prognosis in patients with atherosclerosis. ⋯ In conclusion, our data indicate that legumain expression is upregulated in both plasma and plaques of patients with atherosclerosis, which is associated with metabolic dysfunction of endothelial cell and might be a diagnostic and prognostic marker of atherosclerosis.

Observational Study
A novel technique for conducting flexible bronchoscopy cryobiopsy under conscious sedation: An observational study.
Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBCB) is a reliable method for obtaining histopathological findings in interstitial lung diseases. TBCB is traditionally performed during rigid bronchoscopy, positioning an endobronchial balloon blocker to facilitate bleeding management. Therefore, it can be challenging to implement in Centers without access to anesthesiologic support or dedicated beds for endoscopic procedures. ⋯ To our knowledge, this is the first description of a technique allowing to perform TBCB through an artificial airway without need for either rigid bronchoscopy or general anesthesia. We believe this technique could make TBCB faster, cost-effective, and feasible even in resource-limited settings without compromising on safety. However, further studies are needed to validate these findings.

Acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC) is a rare perforating skin disease with unclear pathogenesis, often leading to misdiagnosis. Utilizing noninvasive skin microscopy improves diagnostic accuracy while reducing misdiagnosis rates. ⋯ This case report demonstrates that clinical dermoscopy can improve the diagnosis rate of ARPC, and pregabalin capsules can significantly relieve itching symptoms.
