This article summarized perioperative nursing experience of 6 patients underwent percutaneous microwave or radiofrequency ablation liver partition and portal vein embolization for planned hepatectomy(PALPP).The key points of nursing included:psychological counseling applied throughout the perioperative treatment;personalized preoperative biliary drainage;nursing intervention targeting at Enhanced Recovery After Surgery(ERAS);complication-directed prevention and nursing after microwave or radiofrequency ablation,portal vein embolization,and radical hepatectomy.All 6 patients were recovered and discharged successfully.

Objective To investigate the effect of bedside comprehensive ability training and critical thinking on the improvement of the personality maturity of pediatric nurses. Methods A total of 102 nurses with pediatric working years within one year were selected,and then they were arranged to receive critical thinking in combination with bedside comprehensive ability training for 6 months. After the training, pediatric nurses′ critical thinking ability, bedside comprehensive ability and personality maturity were evaluated. Results Before training, the total score of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) , total score of bedside comprehensive ability, personality maturity score were 288.21±25.44, 75.24±2.51, 84.01±32.26, after training, they were respectively 324.18±25.93, 92.65±3.17, 125.57±35.47. Comparison of the scores before training and after training showed statistically significant difference(t=7.071, 30.750, 6.190,P < 0.05 or 0.01). Setting personality maturity as the dependent variable, and and CTDI-CV and bedside comprehensive ability as the independent variables, regression analysis showed that CTDI-CV and bedside comprehensive ability had a positive impact on the personality maturity. Conclusions The ability of pediatric nurses' critical thinking ability and bedside comprehensive ability training can promote the improvement of personality maturity of pediatric nurses.

The membrane protein claudin-3 (CLDN3) is critical for the formation and maintenance of tight junction and its high expression has been implicated in dictating malignant progression in various cancers. However, the post-translational modification of CLDN3 and its biological function remains poorly understood. Here, we report that CLDN3 is positively correlated with ovarian cancer progression both and Of interest, CLDN3 undergoes -palmitoylation on three juxtamembrane cysteine residues, which contribute to the accurate plasma membrane localization and protein stability of CLDN3 Moreover, the deprivation of -palmitoylation in CLDN3 significantly abolishes its tumorigenic promotion effect in ovarian cancer cells. By utilizing the co-immunoprecipitation assay, we further identify ZDHHC12 as a CLDN3-targating palmitoyltransferase from 23 ZDHHC family proteins. Furthermore, the knockdown of ZDHHC12 also significantly inhibits CLDN3 accurate membrane localization, protein stability and ovarian cancer cells tumorigenesis Thus, our work reveals -palmitoylation as a novel regulatory mechanism that modulates CLDN3 function, which implies that targeting ZDHHC12-mediated CLDN3 -palmitoylation might be a potential strategy for ovarian cancer therapy.
