Objective To investigate the expressions of ABCG2 and V-ATPase in NSCLC and their expression rates in pathological classification, TNM stages and pathological grades and the expression correlation between ABCG2 and V-ATPase. Methods Expressions of ABCG2 and V-ATPase were accessed with EnVinsion immunohistochemistry in tumor samples from 92 NSCLC patients. The corresponding data was analyzed statistically. Results Expressions of ABCG2 and V -ATPase were found both in the lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell cancer, and the difference between these two kinds of tumors was significant (P =0.003,0.000). ABCG2 expression was significantly different among TNM stages of lung adenocarcinoma (P=0.004) as well as among pathological grades of lung adenocarcinoma (P =0.028) and squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.000), while no significant difference was found among TNM stages of squamous cell lung carcinoma. The level of V-ATPase expression was associated with TNM stages of lung adenocarcinoma (P =0.026) and pathological grades of lung squamous cell carcinoma (P =0.002), however, among TNM stages of lung squamous cell carcinoma and pathological grades of lung adenocarcinoma, the difference was not significant. Additionally, the significant correlation was found between expression of ABCG2 and V-ATPase in all samples, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.001). Conclusion The significant correlation is found between expression of ABCG2 and V-ATPase, which indicate that they may co-work to participate in the mechanism of anticancer drug resistance.

Objective:To summarize our preliminary experience of the individual transurethral en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) based on vesical imaging-reporting and data system (VI-RADS).Methods:The clinical data of 32 bladder cancer patients admitted from January 2019 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 26 males and 6 females. Among them, there were 27, 5, 26 and 6 patients who had primary, recurrent, single or mutiple blader tumors, respectively. And the median number of bladder tumor was 1(1-3) and the mean diameter was 2(0.6-4.5)cm.The patients were aged 37 to 82 years, with a median age of 63 years. All patients underwent multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) before surgery and acquired a VI-RADS score. Among the 32 patients, there were 8, 17, 2, 5, and 0 patients in the VI-RADS score category 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Based on the VI-RADS score and tumor size, morphology and number provided by the mpMRI, the urologists classified the tumor types into type 1, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b or 5, and designed the surgical protocol for each type including the resection plan, boundary and depth. There were 8, 6, 7, 4, 0, 1, 1, 3, 2 and 0 patients in each type, respectively. The tumor types were further confirmed during the operation, and the operation was completed according to the surgical plans for different tumor types.Patients received intravesical therapy of gemcitabine within 24 hours after surgery.Results:All operations were successfully completed and none was converted to the traditional transurethral resection of the bladder tumor. The operation time was 5 to 35 minutes with a median time of 15 minutes. Tumor specimens from all patients contained the muscularis propria. Among the patients with scores 1, 2, 3 and 4, there were 8, 16, 1 and 0 patients diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), respectively. All the patients with NMIBC had negative basal resection margins and 6 out 7 muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients had negative resection margins. There were no intraoperative complications such as bladder perforation and obturator reflex. Four patients experienced obvious postoperative bladder irritation and relieved after symptomatic treatment or removing catheter. Twelve patients received second resections, including 10 NMIBC patients and 2 MIBC patients. No residual tumor was found in the re-resected specimens. There were 9 and 12 NMIBC patients received regular intravesical therapy of gemcitabine or BCG, respectively. Among the 7 MIBC patients, 5 received radical cystectomy and two received bladder-preserving treatment including second resection, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The follow-up period was 3-12 months, with a median of 6 months. One NMIBC patient relapsed at 9th months after surgery and underwent ERBT.Conclusions:The personalized ERBT based on VI-RADS is safe and feasible, and can achieve negative margins in all NMIBC and some MIBC without severe complications.

Purpose:
This study aimed to investigate the changes in microRNA-130a (miR-130a) and its correlation with cardiotoxicity during epirubicin/cyclophosphamide followed by docetaxel plus trastuzumab (EC-D+T) adjuvant chemotherapy in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer patients.
Methods:
A total of 72 HER2+ breast cancer patients who underwent resection and were scheduled to receive EC-D+T adjuvant therapy were consecutively enrolled. The expression of miR-130a and cardiotoxicity (defined as any of the following situations: 1) absolute decline of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 10% and LVEF < 53%; 2) heart failure; 3) acute coronary artery syndromes; and 4) fatal arrhythmia) were assessed every 3 months throughout the 15-month EC-D+T treatment.
Results:
The accumulating cardiotoxicity rate was 12 (16.7%), of which the incidence of heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, life-threatening arrhythmias, ΔLVEF ≥ 10%, and LVEF < 53% was 0 (0.0%), 1 (1.4%), 0 (0.0%), and 12 (16.7%), respectively. Baseline miR-130a expression was negatively correlated with LVEF (%) and positively correlated with cardiac troponin I. The expression of miR-130a gradually increased in both cardiotoxicity and noncardiotoxicity patients during EC-D+T treatment, while the increment of miR-130a was more obvious in cardiotoxicity patients compared with non-cardiotoxicity patients. Further logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that miR-130a was an independent predictive factor for increased cardiotoxicity risk.
Conclusion
MiR-130a increases constantly and predicts high cardiotoxicity risk during ECD+T adjuvant chemotherapy in HER2+ breast cancer patients.

Objective:To understand the current situation of spiritual nursing needs in elderly patients with primary glaucoma and its influencing factors, and to analyze its relationship with self-perceived burden and perceived social support, so as to provide a theoretical basis for reducing their spiritual distress and pain and meeting their spiritual nursing needs.Methods:A total of 218 elderly patients with primary glaucoma who were hospitalized in the department of ophthalmology of the First Hospital of Jilin University from March to September, 2022 were selected by convenience sampling. They were investigated by using general information questionnaire, the Nurse Spiritual Therapeutics Scale, the Self-Perceived Burden Scale, and the Perceived Social Support Scale. And multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of spiritual nursing needs among elderly patients with primary glaucoma.Results:The total score of spiritual nursing needs of elderly patients with primary glaucoma was (30.73 ± 4.85). The highest dimension of item average score was "building a good atmosphere" (3.02 ± 0.59), and the lowest dimension was "helping religious practice" (1.95 ± 0.63). The total scores of spiritual nursing needs and self-perceived burden were negatively correlated ( r=-0.423, P<0.01), and positively correlated with the total scores of perceived social support ( r=0.515, P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that age, religious belief, educational level, treatment duration, residence, self-perceived burden, and perceived social support were the main influencing factors of spiritual care needs of elderly patients with primary glaucoma, ( t values were -5.23-7.04, all P<0.01), which could explain 44.5% of the total variation. Conclusions:The spiritual nursing needs of elderly patients with primary glaucoma were at a medium level. Therefore, it is recommended that nurses should carry out targeted spiritual nursing for them according to the differences and characteristics of different patients, to reduce their self-perceived burden, and to improve perceived social support level, in order to meet their spiritual nursing needs.

Background and Objectives:
Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) are recognized as an advantaged source for the prevention and treatment of diverse diseases including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, alterations in characteristics of ASCs from the aforementioned T2DM patients are still obscure, which also hinder the rigorous and systematic illumination of progression and pathogenesis.
Methods:
and Results: In this study, we originally isolated peripancreatic adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells from both human type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic donors (T2DM-ASCs, ND-ASCs) with the parental consent, respectively. We noticed that T2DM-ASCs exhibited indistinguishable immunophenotype, cell vitality, chondrogenic differentiation and stemness as ND-ASCs. Simultaneously, there’s merely alterations in migration and immunoregulatory capacities in T2DM-ASCs. However, differing from ND-ASCs, T2DM-ASCs exhibited deficiency in adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, and in particular, the delayed cell cycle and different cytokine expression spectrum.
Conclusions
The conservative alterations of T2DM-ASCs in multifaceted characteristics indicated the possibility of autologous application of ASCs for cell-based T2DM treatment in the future.
