Objective To investigate the status quo of social support and effective disorder nurses perceived in the operating room and analyze the correlation between them. Methods A total of 200 nurses in the operating room of four general hospitals in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were enrolled to investigate the social support and the effective disorders using the perceived social support scale (PSSS) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS). Results The total scores by PSSS and TAS were (66.08 ± 10.64) and ( 53 . 85 ± 8 . 89 ) , respectively . The scores by PSSS and its dimensions were all negatively correlated with the score by TAS ( r=-0 . 492 , P < 0 . 05 ) . Conclusions The nurse-perceived social support is generally at the medium or above level and their affective disorder at a lower level. The nursing managers should pay attention to the nurses in the operating room, taking corresponding measures to improve their affective disorder and improve the quality of nursing.
2.Risk factors for the recurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia after cervical conization
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2023;30(12):1828-1832
Objective:To analyze the relevant risk factors for recurrence of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in patients undergoing cervical conization.Methods:The clinical data of 205 patients with high-grade CIN (CIN ≥ II) who received treatment in Anxi County Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2016 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. All of these patients received loop electrosurgical excision procedure or cold knife conization. The relevant risk factors for CIN recurrence were analyzed using univariate and multivariate risk models.Results:Univariate analysis results showed that there were significant differences in the number of full-term births ( HR = 1.512, 95% CI: 1.191-1.920, P < 0.05), history of premature birth ( HR = 7.255, 95% CI: 2.645-19.900, P < 0.05), history of miscarriage ( HR = 2.158, 95% CI: 1.273-3.660, P < 0.05), positive surgical margins ( HR = 1.724, 95% CI: 1.092-2.720, P < 0.05), conization depth ( HR = 0.953, 95% CI: 0.918-0.989, P < 0.05), history of smoking ( HR = 2.143, 95% CI: 1.264-3.634, P < 0.05), and history of comorbidities ( HR = 3.392, 95% CI: 2.022-5.691, P < 0.05) among the 205 included patients. Cox multivariate risk model indicated that positive surgical margins ( HR = 2.144, 95% CI: 1.317-3.492, P < 0.05), history of premature birth ( HR = 4.515, 95% CI: 1.598-12.754, P < 0.05), and history of comorbidities ( HR = 3.552, 95% CI: 1.952-6.462, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for recurrence of CIN after cervical conization. Conclusion:In patients with high-grade CIN undergoing cervical conization, positive surgical margins, history of premature birth, and history of comorbidities are associated with an increased risk of CIN recurrence, while a conization depth of > 0.5 cm is associated with a low risk of CIN recurrence.

Objective To investigate the correlation of DCEGMRI findings with pathologic tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with tripleGnegative breast cancer (TNBC).Methods SixtyGnine patients with TNBC were enrolled,who underwent DCEG MRI before neoadj uvant chemotherapy,then completed neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.Patterns of tumor volume reduction were divided into two types.Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to detect the independent predictors of pathological tumor response.Results 30.4% (21/69)patients achieved a pathologic complete response.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that homogenous enhancement on preGneoadj uvant chemotherapy MRI (OR=1 0.87 ,9 5%CI=2.94-48.3 1 ,P<0.00 1 )and concentric shrinkage pattern on postGneoadj uvant chemotherapy (OR=1 3.04,9 5%CI=2.0 1-54.1 1 ,P<0.00 1 )were the independent predictors of pathologic complete response.Conclusion Homogeneous enhancement on preGneoadj uvant chemotherapy MRI and the presence of concentric shrinkage pattern are correlated with pathologically complete response in patients with TNBC.

Objective To investigate the role of RNA-binding motif protein X-linked(RBMX)in regulating the proliferation,migration,invasion and glycolysis in human bladder cancer cells.Methods A lentivirus vectors system and RNA interference technique were used to construct bladder cancer 1376 and UC-3 cell models with RBMX overexpression and knockdown,respectively,and successful cell modeling was verified using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Proliferation and colony forming ability of the cells were evaluated using EdU assay and colony-forming assay,and cell migration and invasion abilities were determined using Transwell experiment.The expressions of glycolysis-related proteins M1 pyruvate kinase(PKM1)and M2 pyruvate kinase(PKM2)were detected using Western blotting.The effects of RBMX overexpression and knockdown on glycolysis in the bladder cancer cells were assessed using glucose and lactic acid detection kits.Results RT-qPCR and Western blotting confirmed successful construction of 1376 and UC-3 cell models with RBMX overexpression and knockdown.RBMX overexpression significantly inhibited the proliferation,clone formation,migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells,while RBMX knockdown produced the opposite effects.Western blotting results showed that RBMX overexpression increased the expression of PKM1 and decreased the expression of PKM2,while RBMX knockdown produced the opposite effects.Glucose consumption and lactate production levels were significantly lowered in the cells with RBMX overexpression(P<0.05)but increased significantly following RBMX knockdown(P<0.05).Conclusion RBMX overexpression inhibits bladder cancer progression and lowers glycolysis level in bladder cancer cells by downregulating PKM2 expression,suggesting the potential of RBMX as a molecular target for diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.

Objective To investigate the antioxidant activity of bamboo stem extracts and the therapeutic effect of bamboo stem water extract on oxidative inflammation induced by tert butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) in human colon adenocarcinoma cells (Caco-2). Methods In this study, ABTS, DPPH, and FRAP assays were used to determine the extracellular antioxidant activity of petroleum ether extract, ethyl acetate extract, n-butanol extract, 95% ethanol extract, and distilled water extract from bamboo stems. The human intestinal Caco-2 cell line was used as the model cell, and t-BHP was selected as the oxidative stress modeling agent. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability and the optimal oxidative damage concentration of t-BHP. The content of MDA, 8-OHdG, TNF-α and IL-1β were detected to assess antioxidant stress effect. Results The five extracts of bamboo all had certain antioxidant activity, among which the water extract of bamboo stem had the best comprehensive antioxidant activity with high cell viability in Caco-2 cells. The optimal modeling concentration of t-BHP was 200 μMol/L. The water extract of bamboo stem significantly reduced the content of oxidative stress related biomarkers and inflammatory factors in Caco-2 cells induced by t-BHP. Conclusion The stem extracts of bamboo in Xianning City have strong in vitro antioxidant activity. Among them, the water extract of bamboo stem has a protective effect on t-BHP induced oxidative damage in Caco-2 cells, suggesting that the water extract possesses a potential to be developed as new antioxidant products for clinical prevention and treatment of oxidative damage related diseases.
