The paper gives an account of the basic methods for assessing the intrinsic quality of patient nursing by nursing procedures. These include: ①monitoring the accuracy of nursing assessment via evaluating the integrity of patients health; ②evaluating the soundness of nursing diagnosis via analyzing and judging the individuality of patients; ③evaluating the rationality of nursing goals and the appropriateness and operability of nursing measures through patients changes in behavior, function, cognition and emotion; and ④evaluating the timeliness and cyclicity of nursing result assessment through the improvement of patients overall conditions. The paper also analyses the problems involved in employing nursing procedures and countermeasures, pointing out that timely transformation of the nursing management model can markedly enhance the intrinsic quality of nursing.

Objective There are few researches for the serum betatrophin level and diabetic nephropathy (DN) recently.The aim of this study was to investigate the change of serum betatrophin level and the correlation of serum betatrophin and urinary albumin-to-creatintine ratio (UACR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods A total of 150 Chinese subjects from Mar 2013 to Jul 2016 were enrolled in the study, including 90 patients with type 2 diabetes and 60 healthy controls.According to the level of UACR, the diabetic patients were divided into two groups:normal UACR group (UACR<30 mg/g, n=60) and abnormal UACR group(UACR>30 mg/g, n=30).Serum betatrophin was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).UACR was measured by turbidimetric inhibition immune assay.Blood glucose blood lipid were measured simultaneously.Results The serum betatrophin level was significantly higher in abnormal UACR group than that in normal UACR group[677.37±59.02 vs 486.13±41.22 pg/mL, P<0.05];Serum betatrophin level in T2DM patients was positively correlated with age (r=0.246), waist hip ratio (WHR) (r=0.240), fasting blood glucose (FPG) (r=0.234), 2 hour plasma glucose (2hPG) (r=0.363), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (r=0.346), fasting insulin (FINS) (r=0.249), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) (r=0.309), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (r=0.223), creatinine (CREA) (r=0.277) and UACR (r=0.244) (P<0.05),and negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (r=0.308) (P<0.01).Serum betatrophin level in normal UACR group was positively correlated with age, HbA1c and UACR (P<0.05);Serum betatrophin level in abnormal UACR group was positively correlated with WHR (r=0.504), 2hPG (r=0.600), HbA1c (r=0.449), HOMA-IR (r=0.395) (P<0.05).The WHR, HbA1c, HOMA-IR and GFR were the influential factors of the serum betatrophin level.Conclusion The level of serum betatrophin was significantly increased in T2DM patients with albuminuria, which suggests that the betatrophin might play an important role in the pathogenesis of DN.

Objective:To investigate the expression of INHBA in colorectal cancer and its relationship with microsatellite status and clinicopathological features.Methods:Bioinformatics analysis was conducted based on Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database and Gene Expression Profiling Interaction Analysis (GEPIA) database, and the differentially expressed prognosis-related target genes in colorectal cancer were selected. Wax mass tissues of 107 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgery from January 2016 to June 2022 in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University were collected, and the tissue microarrays were prepared. The clinicopathological microsatellite status [positive expressions of the mismatch repair (MMR) proteins MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, and PMS2 were mismatch repair proficient (pMMR), which represented low microsatellite instability or microsatellite stabilization; if any of these indexes was negative, it was judged to be mismatch repair deficient (dMMR), which represented high microsatellite instability] and INHBA expression in colorectal cancer tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry, data of the patients were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between INHBA and microsatellite status as well as clinicopathological features was analyzed.Results:Three data sets of colorectal cancer were selected from GEO database: GSE110223 (13 cancer tissues, 13 paracancerous tissues), GSE110224 (17 cancer tissues, 17 paracancerous tissues), GSE113513 (14 cancer tissues, 14 paracancerous tissues), and the top 50 genes that were differentially up-regulated and down-regulated between cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues were screened. Intersection genes of 3 data sets were analyzed by Venn diagram, and 12 up-regulated genes and 17 down-regulated genes were screened out. According to GEPIA database, AQP8, ZG16 and INHBA genes among the up-regulated and down-regulated differential genes were associated with the prognosis of colorectal cancer. INHBA was higher expressed in colorectal cancer tissues than in paracancerous tissues (≥5 cm from the tumor margin) ( P < 0.05), and INHBA gene was selected for analysis. Immunohistochemical detection of collected colorectal cancer wax samples showed that the proportion of patients with high INHBA expression in colorectal cancer tissues was higher than that in paracancerous tissues [85.05% (91/107) vs. 67.29% (72/107), P < 0.05]. The high expression of INHBA in cancer tissues was related to the lesion site [right colon vs. left colon: 94.00% (47/50) vs. 77.19% (44/57)], maximum tumor diameter [>5 cm vs. ≤5 cm: 92.73% (51/55) vs. 76.92% (40/52)] and the depth of invasion [stage T 3-4 vs. stage T 1-2: 96.43% (54/56) vs. 72.55% (37/51)], differentiation degree [low and medium differentiation vs. high differentiation: 91.04% (61/67) vs. 75.00% (30/40)], lymph node metastasis [yes vs. no: 93.02% (40/43) vs. 78.13% (50/64)] (all P < 0.05), but had no correlation with age, sex, thrombus and nerve invasion (all P > 0.05). The proportion of patients with high expression of INHBA in colorectal cancer tissues in pMMR group was higher than that in dMMR group [93.22% (55/59) vs. 75.00% (36/48), χ2 = 6.91, P = 0.008]. Conclusions:INHBA is highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues, and the highly expressed INHBA is closely related to clinicopathological features and microsatellite status of colorectal cancer. INBHA may be a new target for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of colorectal cancer.
