Objective:This study aimed to establish an eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost) model that can predict the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)patients after laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) surgery.Methods:A total of 440 patients with primary HCC who received LH treatment for the first time from January 2013 to September 2016 in Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University were selected as the research objects. The diagnosis method was pathological diagnosis. Research objects were divided into training group ( n=88) and verification group ( n=352) at a ratio of 2∶8 by random number table method. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw the recurrence-free survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used to compare the survival of the two groups; the training group was used to establish the COX regression model and the XGBoost model to screen independent predictors of recurrence after LH; receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive abilities of the two models, and conducted internal verification in the verification group; Hosmer and Lemeshow Test was used to evaluate the calibration of the two models, and P>0.05 was used as a good fit between the model and the actual situation. Results:Both the COX regression model and the XGBoost model screened out tumor thrombus, low degree of differentiation, tumor microvascular infiltration (MVI), number of tumors, large tumors, and positive hepatitis B surface antigen were independent predictors of tumor recurrence( HR=2.477, 0.769, 1.786, 1.905, 1.544, 1.805; 95% CI: 1.465-4.251, 0.619-0.819, 1.263-2.546, 1.354-2.704, 1.272-1.816, 1.055-2.555). The XGboost model scores were 32 points, 29 points, 24 points, 18 points, 16 points, 11 points, respectively. In the training group, the area under the curve (AUC) of the COX regression model and XGBoost model for predicting recurrence were 0.746 (0.730-0.762) and 0.802 (0.785-0.818), respectively. The XGBoost model had strong predictive ability and was confirmed in the validation cohort. Conclusions:This study had established and verified the XGBoost model that can predict the recurrence of HCC patients after receiving LH for the first time. It can be used in clinics to assist doctors in formulating personalized postoperative monitoring programs for patients. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of tumors and strengthening of postoperative follow-up are important measures to improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of specific inhibitor of necroptosis necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) on necroptosis of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in rats with acute ocular hypertension.Methods:Twenty-four adult male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model control group, Nec-1 treatment group and negative control group by random number table method, with 6 rats in each group.High intraocular pressure (IOP)-induced ischemia and reperfusion model was established through anterior chamber irrigation of 0.9% sodium chloride solution in left eyes of the rats, raising the IOP to 110 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) for 60 minutes.Nec-1 (4 mmol/L, 2 μl) or dimethyl sulfoxide (2 μl) was intravitreally injected immediately in Nec-1 treatment group and negative control group following modeling, respectively, according to grouping.No intervention was administered to the normal control group.Paraffin sections of rat retinas of the left eyes in different groups were prepared seven days after modeling.The retinal structure was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the expression levels of thymocyte antigen-1 (Thy-1) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were detected via immunohistochemical staining.All animal experiments were approved by an Ethics Committee of Tianjin Union Medical Center (No.2017 Quick audit C01).Results:Seven days after modeling, compared with normal control group, the retinal nerve fiber layer was thinner in model control group and negative control group, and the RGCs were arranged loosely, and cells in the inner nuclear layer were reduced and arranged disorderly, and cells in the outer nuclear layer were normal or enlarged.Compared with model control group and negative control group, the nerve fiber layer was thickened and the number of RGCs was significantly increased in Nec-1 treatment group.The number of Thy-1-positive RGCs was decreased in model control group, negative control group and Nec-1 treatment group than normal control group, and there were more Thy-1-positive RGCs in Nec-1 treatment group than model control group and negative control group.The integrated absorbance ( A) value of GFAP protein in normal control group, model control group, negative control group and Nec-1 treatment group was 47.209±15.311, 116.220±18.194, 116.382±19.020, 92.818±10.236, respectively, showing statistically significant differences among them ( F=24.675, P<0.001). The integrated A value of GFAP protein was significantly increased in model control group, negative control group and Nec-1 treatment group than normal control group, and the integrated A value of GFAP protein in Nec-1 treatment group was lower than that in model control group and negative control group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Nec-1 can promote RGCs survival by inhibiting the necroptosis of RGCs in rats with acute intraocular hypertension.

Objective:To clarify the role of Heat shock proteins (HSPs) on the cardiac function during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) after bone marrow cell implantation (BMT), we examined the expression of HSP32 and HSP70 in a rat model of myocardial infarction. Methods: Myocardial infarction model was induced in the inbred Lewis rats by left anterior descending artery ligation,and 5?10 6 of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM MNCs) were injected into an ischemic zone. On days 1, 3, 7 and 14 post infarct, the differentiations of transplanted cells and the expressions of HSP32 and HSP70 were determined by immunofluorescence or RT-PCR. The cardiac function was evaluated by echocardiography. Results: Immunofluorescence microscopy of hearts from BMT group revealed that expressions of HSP32 and HSP70 were promoted within cardiomyocytes in the infarction zone and the peri infarct zone,and expressed within some transplanted bone marrow cells as well. RT-PCR also showed the mRNA expression levels of HSP32 and HSP70 in BMT group were significantly higher than those of the control group, peaked on day 3 post infarct (5.0 fold and 2.9 fold, respectively, P

Objective:To compare the efficacy of laparotomy and laparoscopic Glisson pedicle transecting segmental hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 138 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent Glisson pedicle transection hepatectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College from March 2012 to November 2015 were collected retrospectively. 45 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopic group) and 93 patients underwent laparotomy. 45 patients were selected as open group according to the most clinical ratio of propensity score. The baseline data, operation, stress index, liver function index and postoperative survival rate were compared between the two groups. COX proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of 5-year prognosis. Normally distributed measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), and independent sample t test was used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used to compare the enumeration data between groups. Results:The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion cases, complications, postoperative eating time, drainage tube removal time, and hospital stay in the laparoscopic group were (219.48±53.61) min, (208.53±39.74) mL, 2, 3, (3.62±0.51) d, (4.73±0.85) d, (10.59±1.37) d, the open group were (185.37±46.92) min, (267.49±35.83) mL, 8, 10, (4.56±0.73) d, (5.29±0.94) d, (13.87±1.68) d, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Cortisol, norepinephrine, C-reactive protein, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin in the postoperative laparoscopic group) And albumin levels were (258.39±30.76) ng/mL, (66.78±7.31) ng/mL, (28.39±3.45) μg/mL, (66.51±7.14) U/L, (73.39±7.85) U/L, (20.67±2.74) μmol/L, (37.52±6.48) g/L, the open group were (316.92±37.51) ng/mL, (75.63±8.39) ng/mL, (38.47±4.56) μg/mL, (82.39±9.06) U/L, (94.05±9.74) U/L, (22.93±3.18) μmol/L, (34.65±5.87) g/L, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There were no statistically significant difference in overall survival rate and tumor-free survival rate between the laparotomy group and the laparoscopic group at 1, 3, and 5 years after surgery ( P>0.05). The COX proportional hazards regression model showed that HBsAg positive, Child-Pugh grade, alpha-fetoprotein, and tumor diameter were risk factors affecting the 5-year prognosis of patients ( HR=6.627, 7.518, 5.143, 4.881, 95% CI: 1.516-9.738, 2.382-12.495, 3.078-6.249, 1.925-7.723, P<0.05). Conclusion:The long-term effects of laparotomy and laparoscopic Glisson pedicle transection hepatectomy are the same in selective hepatocellular carcinoma cases, but laparoscopic surgery can reduce intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion cases and complications, facilitate early removal of drainage tube and food intake, shorten hospital stay, reduce stress reaction, and promote the recovery of liver function, so the short-term effect is better.

Purpose:
From the perspective of positive psychology, our study aimed to explore depressive symptomsand psychological well-being among Chinese nurses, as well as analyze the impacts of characterstrengths, self-efficacy and social support on the mental health of nurses.
Methods:
A cross-sectional and descriptive design using five self-reported questionnaires was used toinvestigate a cohort of 4238 nurses during 2018. A structural equation modeling analysis was used toverify a hypothetical model linking character strengths, self-efficacy, social support, depressive symptoms,and psychological well-being.
Results:
The prevalence of depression among this cohort of Chinese nurses was 58.1%. The mean scoresfor caring, inquisitiveness, and self-control were 19.93 (SD = 2.82), 15.94 (SD = 3.00), and 16.34(SD = 2.95), respectively. The hypothesized model was a good fit of the data (x2/df = 1.77, p = .183, rootmean square error of approximation = 0.04, goodness of fit index = 1.00, comparative fit index = 1.00,TuckereLewis index = 1.00). Except for the path from self-control to depression, the other hypotheticalpaths investigated were statistically significant.
Conclusion
Character strengths were directly and positively associated with psychological well-being.Inquisitiveness was the strongest direct protective factor for depression. In addition, characterstrengths indirectly alleviated depression and increased psychological well-being through mediatingvariables of social support and self-efficacy. This study should alert nurse managers that more attentionshould be paid to the character strengths and mental health of nurses. This study provides evidence forinterventions based on character strengths as a management strategy to support the mental health ofnurses.

OBJECTIVES:
During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), vaccine is an important way to build and improve the immune barrier of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the population. The purpose of this study is to understand the current situation of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation among Chinese college students during the epidemic of COVID-19, and analyze the influencing factors.
METHODS:
Using the convenient sampling method, we selected the college students from a comprehensive university in Hunan Province in May 2021 and designed KAP questionnaire about SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation for offline and online survey to analyze the current situation of college students' KAP of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation and the influenting factors.
RESULTS:
The total score of KAP of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation of Chinese college students was 43.72±5.60. The total score of knowledge was 16.28 ±3.09, and the score of each item was 3.26±0.62. The correct rate of the 5 questions in knowledge was 80.34%, 93.18%, 94.64%, 99.60% and 39.18%, respectively. The total score of attitude was 13.56±2.39, and the score of each item was 3.39±0.60. The total score of behavior was 13.88±2.51, and the score of each item was 3.47±0.63. The total scores of better health status, girls, and medical majors were relatively higher; those of medical majors, older students, and girls had higher scores on vaccination knowledge; those with better health and younger age had higher scores on attitude; those of better health status and girls had higher behavior scores (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
College students' KAP about SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation is generally high, but the knowledge level is relatively low. We should strengthen the propaganda and education for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation related knowledge, and strengthen the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine inoculation attitude and behavior of college students. Special attention should be paid to the education of vaccination knowledge for non-medical majors, younger, and male students, the guidance of vaccination attitude for those with poor health and older age, and encouragement of vaccination behavior for those with poor health and boys.
