ObjectiveTo discuss the effect of preoperative psychological communication on psychological state of elderly patients before destined operation.Methods136 cases of elderly patients underwent elective operation were divided into the observation group and the control group with 68 cases in each group,the control group was given routine nursing of general surgery,the observation group received targeted psychological communication based upon routine nursing for consecutive 3 days before surgery.The psychological state such as anxiety,depression and fear was compared between two groups.ResultsThe anxiety,depression and fear in the observation group was significantly improved compared with the control group.ConclusionsPreoperative appropriate and targeted psychological communication can alleviate the anxiety,depression and fear of the elderly patients with elective operation,and contribute to the smooth operation.

Objective To investigate the effects of 4.1N expression in lung cancer A549 cell line on cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Methods A549 cells were cultured in vitro and transfected with lipofectamine 2000 mediation. Three groups were employed: transfection with pEGFP-4.1N plasmid, pEGFP vector plasmid, and blank control, respectively. The mRNA and protein expression differences of 4.1N was examined by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot in every group after 48 h. The proliferation capability was determined by MTT assay. Invasion capability was evaluated by scratches, adhesion experiments and Transwell chamber model. Results After the transfection, the expression of 4.1N mRNA and protein in pEGFP-4.1N plasmid transfection group was significantly enhanced (P<0.05). The proliferation capability of A549 cells descended extremely (P<0.05). The migration and invasion capability of A549 cells in vitro decreased substantially (P<0.05). Conclusions Transfected with 4.1N gene can significantly increases the expression levels of 4.1N mRNA and protein in A549 cells which are highly metastatic in human. Cell behavior in vitro studies showed that 4.1N gene can inhibit the proliferation, adhesion, invasion and migration of A549 cells, which plays an important role in the metastasis of lung cancer and it may become a molecular marker for metastasis of lung cancer.

Objective To explore the effects of deletion of protein 4.1R on hepatocyte proliferation,apoptosis,and glycolysis and the molecular mechanisms.Methods A 4.1R-/-HL-7702 cell line was constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technique,and with 4.1R+/+HL-7702 cells as the control,its proliferative capacity and cell apoptosis were assessed using CCK-8 assay,EdU-488 staining,flow cytometry and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining at 24,48,72 h of cell culture.The changes in glucose uptake,lactate secretion,ATP production and pH value of the culture supernatant of 4.1R-/-HL-7702 cells were determined.The mRNA expressions of the key regulatory enzymes HK2,PFKL,PKM2 and LDHA in glycolysis were detected with qRT-PCR,and the protein expressions of AMPK,p-AMPK,Raptor and p-Raptor were determined using Western blotting.Results Western blotting and sequencing analysis both confirmed the successful construction of 4.1R-/-HL-7702 cell line.Compared with the wild-type cells,4.1R-/-HL-7702 cells exhibited a lowered proliferative activity with increased cell apoptosis.The deletion of protein 4.1R also resulted in significantly decreased glucose uptake,lactate secretion and ATP production of the cells and increased pH value of the cell culture supernatant.qRT-PCR showed significantly decreased mRNA expressions of the key regulatory enzymes in glycolysis in 4.1R-/-HL-7702 cells.Compared with those in HL-7702 cells,the expression levels of AMPK and Raptor proteins were decreased while the expression levels of p-AMPK and p-Raptor proteins increased significantly in 4.1R-/-HL-7702 cells.Conclusion Deletion of protein 4.1R in HL-7702 cells results in reduced proliferative capacity,increased apoptosis and suppression of glycolysis,and this regulatory mechanism is closely related with the activation of the downstream AMPK-mTORC1 signaling pathway.
