Purpose:
Drug resistance is one of the main causes of chemotherapy failure in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), and extensive biological studies into chemotherapy drug resistance are required.
Materials and Methods:
In this study, we performed lncRNA microarray, in vitro functional assays, in vivo models and cDNA microarray to evaluate the impact of lncRNA in SCLC chemoresistance.
Results:
The results showed that KCNQ1OT1 expression was upregulated in SCLC tissues and was a poor prognostic factor for patients with SCLC. Knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, chemoresistance and promoted apoptosis of SCLC cells. Mechanistic investigation showed that KCNQ1OT1 can activate transforming growth factor-β1 mediated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in SCLC cells.
Conclusion
Taken together, our study revealed the role of KCNQ1OT1 in the progression and chemoresistance of SCLC, and suggested KCNQ1OT1 as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in SCLC clinical management.

Objective:To investigate the status and the influencing factors of influenza vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic among community-dwelling elderly in Shanghai.Methods:A questionnaire survey on influenza vaccination among community-dwelling elderly was conducted in Shanghai Taikang elderly community in November 2020. The information on demographic characteristics, reasons for refusal of vaccination, and measures for increasing vaccination rates were collected. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between influenza vaccination and sociodemographic and health-related characteristics.Results:Among 520 respondents, the vaccination rate was 30.58% (159/520). Compared with unvaccinated group, elderly in vaccinated group was older ( t=16.04, P=0.003)and more educated(χ2=8.16, P=0.043). The elderly with comorbid heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, tumor, asthma, Parkinson′s disease were likely to have vaccination ( OR=1.45, 2.16, 1.23, 1.64, 5.83; all P<0.05).The reasons for the elderly not to be vaccinated were concerns of side effects (46.26%, 167/361), lack of doctors′ recommendations (24.10%, 87/361), and unnecessary for people with good health conditions (19.39%, 70/361). The independent factors of influenza vaccine awareness rate were healthcare providers′ recommendations ( OR=9.18, 95% CI:5.47-16.32), vaccination at home( OR=11.79, 95% CI:6.87-21.66),vaccination available in community( OR=8.08, 95% CI:8.08-15.45),the mandatory requirement ( OR=4.61,95% CI:4.61-10.11),free of charge( OR=7.48, 95% CI:4.08-15.12). Conclusion:Influenza vaccination coverage among the elderly in Shanghai is still low even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Policy interventions, awareness education and strengthening the primary healthcare resources may contribute to achieving a high influenza vaccine coverage rate in the community-dwelling elderly

Objective:
To investigate the effect of dopamine (DA) on the glutamate (Glu) uptake ability of neural cells, as well as its effect on cognitive impairment in rats with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) via related pathways.
Methods:
A total of 45 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, MHE model group, and DA intervention model group, with 15 rats in each group. The rats in the MHE model group were given intraperitoneal injection of thioacetamide (TAA), those in DA intervention model group were given intraventricular injection of DA, and those in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of physiological saline, with a frequency of twice a week for 8 weeks. Cerebral microdialysis was used to measure the change in the content of Glu in the brain in MHE rats and rats with DA intervention; RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to measure the relative mRNA and protein expression of trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) and excitatory amino acid transporter 2 (EAAT2); the changes in the expression of EAAT2 and extracellular Glu level were measured after intracerebroventricular injection of TAAR1 siRNA and TAAR1 plasmid in MHE rats and rats with DA intervention. One- way analyses of variance for comparison among different groups were performed, categorical data between groups were compared using nonparametric tests.
Results:
Compared with the control group, the MHE model group had significant increases in the content of DA in liver tissue, plasma, and brain tissue (4.90 ± 0.13 ng/g vs 1.20 ± 0.13 ng/g,

In order to understand nurses’ willingness to participate in humanistic nursing training and its influencing factors, and provide reference for managers to understand the current situation and improve nurses’ enthusiasm for humanistic nursing training. The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 23 707 nurses in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) through a self-designed questionnaire distributed on the Internet. The results showed that 98.1% of nurses thought that participating in humanistic nursing related training was helpful to clinical work, but only 88.6% of the respondents were willing to participate in humanistic nursing training. Thirty factors were analyzed from four aspects of basic characteristics of individuals, cognitive relevant experience and organizational atmosphere. Fifteen factors had significant significance in binary Logistic regression analysis (P<0.05). Among them, the factors that had a positive impact on training willingness were: marriage, education, professional title, post establishment, agree with humanistic care is the basic duty of a nurse praised, experience of being praised at work, family support, rapport with patients, passion of colleagues to participate in training, sustained high-quality care demonstration activities, join the humanistic care related organization, hospital reimbursement of training expenses (OR value of 6.559~1.113, P<0.001). The OR value of humanistic nursing as a nurse’s responsibility was 6.559 and the 95%CI was 5.585~7.702. The factors that hindered nurses from participating in training were: work occupied most of time and energy, think humanistic nursing is abstract and difficult to understand, think the mastered humanistic knowledge and skills meet the needs of work (OR value of 0.657~0.722, P<0.001). Through the analysis, it is considered that nurses have a extremely consistent high recognition of the significance of humanistic nursing training, but their willingness to receive training is affected by many factors such as individual experience, cognitive attitude and organizational atmosphere. In order to realize nurses’ high recognition of humanistic nursing training to high enthusiasm of behavior, the aspects of individual cognition and organizational atmosphere must be discussed.
