Objective To discuss the clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and treatment of pri-mary prostatic signet ring cell carcinoma (PPSRCC). Methods Clinical data of 23 PPSRCC cases were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age was 74 years and majority of them had aggravated dysu-ria. The mean serum PSA was 45.3 ng/ml (7.4-126.8 ng/ml). To exclude the metastasis from stomach and colon SRCC, upper gastric tract endoscopy and barium enema were carried out. Seven pa-tients received radical prostatectomies and 2 patients who had positive margins received hormonal and radiation therapy. The rest of patients received maximal androgen blockade therapy. Photoselective vaporization of the prostate was performed on 11 patients who had lower urinary tract symptoms. All cases were investigated by routine pathological, immunohistochemical studies. Results Seventeen cases of PPSRCC were associated with concurrent high-grade prostatic carcinoma, only 6 cases were pure SRCC. Immunohistochemical stains were positive in all cases for PSA and PAP. Stains were ne-gative for AB/PAS (23/23) and CEA (21/23). The clinical TNM stages were 7 of Ⅱ , 10 of Ⅲ and 6 of Ⅳ. Follow-up was available on 20 cases with a mean 24 months and 3 cases were lost during follow up. Eight cases died of metastasis. Five cases had evidence of recurrence 12-21 months from presen-tation. Conclusions The diagnosis of PPSRCC depends on pathological and immunohistochemical studys after metastasis from stomach and colon SRCC is excluded. Early diagnosis and combination treatment for PPSRCC might improve its prognosis.

Objcetive To investigate the relationship between blood β-hydroxybutyric acid and urine ketone in the di-agnosis of diabetic ketosis (DK). Methods Peripheral blood β-hydroxybutyric acid and urine ketone were detected when the peripheral blood glucose was more than 13.9 mmol/L in patients with diabetes. Results (1) In 81 diabetes pa-tients with blood glucose more than 13.9 mmol/L, the incidence of DK was 13.58% and the incidence of diabetic ke-toacidosis (DKA) was 9.88%. (2) The peripheral blood glucose was positively correlated with β-hydroxybutyric acid (r=0.330, P=0.003), but it was not correlated with urine ketone. (3) The peripheral blood β-hydroxybutyric acid was posi-tively correlated with urine ketone (r=0.516, P=0.000). (4) In patients with DK or DKA, 5.26%(1/19) of those were with urine ketone(-) or (+-), whereas 36.84% (7/19) of those were with blood β-hydroxybutyric acid less than 1 mmol/L. (5) When urine ketone was used as the reference test for diagnosis of DK, the optimal value of blood β-hydroxybutyric acid was 0.35 mmol/L. Conclusion For missed diagnosis of DK may be happend if blood β-hydroxybutyric acid or urine ketone is used alone, the co-monitoring of blood β-hydroxybutyric acid and urine ketone can reduce the inci-dence of missed diagnosis of DK. The urine ketosis may have existed when the blood β-hydroxybutyric acid is slightly elevated (≥0.35 mmol/L). In the situation, the urine ketone should be tested in order to avoid missed diagnosis of DK.

Objective:To explore the current situation of clinical nurses' disaster nursing ability and its influencing factors, and to provide basis for carrying out clinical nurses' disaster nursing education and training.Methods:By convenient sampling method, 322 clinical nurses from Peking University Shenzhen Hospital in September 2020 were selected. The disaster nursing ability assessment tool and general information questionnaire were used to conduct a questionnaire survey to analyze the current situation of clinical nurses' disaster nursing ability and its main influencing factors.Results:The total score of disaster nursing ability of clinical nurses was (199.07±34.31) points, which was at the middle and lower level; the scores of each dimension from high to low were as follows: disaster preparedness score was (72.94±12.89) points, coping ability score was (80.00±13.82) points, disaster reduction/prevention capability score was (28.19±6.09) points, recovery/reconstruction ability score was (17.94±3.27) points. Regression analysis showed that the highest degree, clinical department, whether they have autonomously studied disaster nursing related courses after work, and whether they have participated in disaster rescue after work were the main influencing factors of clinical nurses' disaster nursing ability ( t values were -4.715-5.508, P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall level of disaster nursing ability of clinical nurses is at the middle and lower level. It should be combined with clinical nurses' work department, whether clinical nurses have disaster rescue experience and whether they have independently studied disaster nursing related courses, and targeted disaster nursing related training should be carried out to improve their disaster nursing knowledge and skill.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between processed food consumption and blood pressure level of students in a university in Yunnan Province, so as to provide the reference for preventing hypertension in university students.
Methods:
In October 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select 4 781 freshmen from a university in Kunming, Yunnan Province. The frequency of processed food consumption of university students was assessed by using the dietary frequency questionnaire, and height, weight and blood pressure were measured. Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the differences in blood pressure level of university students with different demographic variables, and the association between processed food consumption and blood pressure level was analyzed with a generalized linear model.
Results:
Among the students of a university in Yunnan Province, the detection rates of systolic prehypertension and hypertension were 33.86% and 1.23%, and the detection rates of diastolic prehypertension were 32.13% and hypertension 7.22%. The results of generalized linear model analysis showed that after controlling for demographic variables and other variables that might affect the blood pressure level of university students, the consumption of processed food (bread and cake: β =0.15, 95% CI =0.01-0.29) and ultra processed food (coffee beverage: β =-0.29, 95% CI =-0.54--0.03) were associated with systolic blood pressure level( P <0.05). The consumption of processed food (salted duck egg: β =0.21, 95% CI =0.01-0.41) was correlated with the diastolic blood pressure of college students ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Processed food consumption in university students may increase the risk of high blood pressure.The education of healthy eating among college students should be strengthened to reduce the consumption of processed foods.

Objective:To detect the expression level of RAB39B gene and the effect of RAB39B on autophagy and α-synuclein, and then investigate the role of RAB39B gene mutation c.536dupA in the pathogenesis of Parkinson′s disease.Methods:Based on the novel RAB39B gene c.536 dupamutation identified in the previous work, the recombinant expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1-HA-RAB39B-536) of RAB39B gene with this mutation and wild-type recombinant expression plasmid (pcDNA3.1-HA-RAB39B) of RAB39B gene were constructed, and the recombinant expression plasmid was transfected into N2a cells with liposome as experimental group. The control group was made up with N2a cells transfected with plasmid pcDNA3.1-HA-RAB39B. Real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, immunofluorescence and immunoprecipitation techniques were used to detect the expression level of mutant RAB39B gene and the effects of RAB39B on autophagy and α-synuclein.Results:In the N2a cell model, the transcription level of mutant RAB39B was about twice that of wild type RAB39B, while the protein level of mutant RAB39B (0.30±0.00) was significantly lower than that of wild type (1.50±0.25, t=8.313, P<0.05). After adding proteasome inhibitor MG132, the protein level of mutant RAB39B increased (0.70±0.10, t=6.925, P<0.05); the level of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 BⅡ/Ⅰ of mutant RAB39B (3.11±0.30) was significantly lower than that of wild type (7.03±0.20, t=18.831, P<0.05); overexpression of wild type and mutant RAB39B did not affect the level of endogenous α-synuclein; overexpression of wild-type RAB39B resulted in elevated level of exogenous wild-type (p.A53T; from 0.60±0.11 to 1.25±0.08, t=8.254, P<0.05) and mutant (from 0.55±0.08 to 1.15±0.08, t=9.293, P<0.05) α-synuclein. Conclusions:The stability of the RAB39B protein decreased with the appearance of c.536 dupA mutation, the mutant protein may be degraded through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and this mutation may affect the autophagy level of cells. RAB39B protein may interact with α-synuclein in vivo and may be involved in the maintenance of the stable level of α-synuclein.
