Objective:To detect the expression level of tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD in the serum of breast cancer patients and to explore its effect on the function of breast cancer cells.Methods:The serums of 57 breast cancer patients, 39 breast benign tumor patients and 40 normal physical examination patients in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April to August in 2022 were collected. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR) to detect the expression level of tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD in breast cancer cell lines and serum of breast cancer patients. Cell invasion assay, migration assay and CCK-8 proliferation assay were used to analyze the effect of tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD on breast cancer cell function. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD in serum in breast cancer. The chi-square test was used to analyze the correlation between tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD and clinical features.Results:The expression levels of tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD in breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-231 (0.50±0.22 vs 1.00±0.01), T-47D (0.33±0.02 vs 1.00±0.01) and MCF-7 (0.50±0.02 vs 1.00±0.01) were significantly lower than those in normal mammary epithelial cell lines (1.00±0.01), and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). The expression level of tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD in the serum of breast cancer patients (1.35±1.25) was lower than that in the serum of patients with normal physical examination (6.42±3.13) and patients with benign breast tumors (9.57±2.11), and the difference was statistically significant (both P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the invasiveness of overexpressing tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD T-47D (86.67±12.22 vs 532.00±22.68, P<0.001) and MDA-MB-231 (535.33±99.12 vs 1 055.67±24.00, P=0.002) was weaker, and that of T-47D (442.67±81.79 vs 1 210.67±115.02, P=0.002) and MDA-MB-231 (278.67±108.40 vs 571.33±95.37, P=0.015) had weaker migration ability, and T-47D and MDA-MB-231 had weaker proliferative ability (all P<0.05). The area under the curve of serum tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD for the diagnostic efficacy of breast cancer was 0.743 (95% CI 0.644-0.842), and the sensitivity and specificity were 89.50% and 53.10%, respectively. Conclusion:tRF-31-PER8YP9LON4VD is low expressed in the serum of breast cancer patients, and it may inhibit the proliferation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells.

AIM: To evaluate the clinical effect of Iron Dextran Dispersible Tablets on patients with chronic heart failure who reduced ejection fraction after 24 weeks. METHODS: From January 2020 to June 2022, forty-five patients with heart failure complicated with iron deficiency and reduced ejection fraction were selected as the research objects. According to the random number table, they were randomly divided into control group and observation group.The control group was given routine anti-heart failure treatment such as Sacubitril Calsartan sodium tablets, while the observation group was given iron dextran dispersible tablets 50 mg three times a day on the basis of the anti-heart failure treatment of the control group for 8 weeks. The 6-minute walking distance, Hemoglobin, Serum Ferritin, N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor, Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction, Left Ventricular end Diastolic Diameter and 12-item Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) overall summary score and clinical summary score were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the 6-minute walking distance in the observation group was longer than that in the control group, while the serum ferritin level in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide level in the two groups was lower than that before treatment, and the left ventricular end diastolic diameter was shorter than that before treatment, and the left ventricular ejection fraction, clinical comprehensive score and symptom score were higher than that before treatment. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Iron Dextran Dispersible Tablets can improve the exercise endurance and quality of life of patients with chronic heart failure who reduced ejection fraction after 24 weeks.

Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSMS) is a rare congenital complex malformation characterized by severe abnormalities in the urinary, reproductive and digestive systems. It is difficult to diagnose URSMS by prenatal ultrasound due to its complex and variable manifestations. This paper reported a twin with partial URSMS. Prenatal ultrasound findings included pelvic "trilobe" cystic masses, sacrococcygeal hemivertebral malformations, imperforate anus, and transient ascites. Postnatal examination confirmed the diagnosis of URSMS, as the baby girl was born with anal atresia. Her colon, urethra, and vagina converged and formed a common tract with a single perineal opening. The baby died after her parents' refusal to surgical treatment.

Objective:To build a medical service experience system based on role play of hospital staff, and explore its contribution to upgrading medical service, elevating medical service quality, and improving patients′ satisfaction.Methods:An indicator system for medical service experience was developed via literature review. 20 newly recruited hospital employees in 2019 were sampled randomly to form a service experience team, who were arranged to experience the full medical service process of outpatients and inpatients based on role play. The questionnaire for service quality based on patient perception and expectation was used to survey the expectation and perception values of those role players on their medical service experiences, and summarize the defects found on such six dimensions as hospital reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, empathy and cost-effectiveness. After due corrections of these defects, further experiences and patient satisfaction survey were made to assess the effects of such actions taken. Paired t test was used respectively in statistical analysis of service experience value and actual perception value, as well as the perception values before and after the actions taken, and χ2 test was used for a statistical analysis of patient satisfaction. Results:Role players experienced respectively at the emergency, outpatient and inpatient departments of the hospital for a week in August 2019. Statistics of their experiences indicated≥0.50 points difference between the mean expectation and perception values on doctor-patient communication, patient help responsiveness, outpatient process, examination report delivery duration, service attitude, patient trust on medical workers, medical environment and patient privacy protection.Following a 3-month reform, role players found improvements in such aspects as hospital reliability, responsiveness, tangibility, assurance, empathy and cost-effectiveness; patient satisfaction improved sizably in December 2019 over January of the same year( P<0.05). Conclusions:The construction and application of the medical service experience system based on role play of hospital staff prove highly useful in upgrading medical service actions, improving medical service quality, and improving patient satisfaction.

Objective To explore the status quo of workplace bullying and job satisfaction among clinical nurses, and to explore the mediating effect of peer support among nurses in the relationship between the above two elements.Methods By convenience sampling, from November 2015 to April 2016, 207 clinical nurses in a comprehensive classⅢ grade A hospital in Fuzhou, were selected and surveyed by a questionnaire on general information, a peer support scale, the negative acts questionnaire-revised (NAQ-R), and job satisfaction scale for nurses. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were conducted to the data collected.Results Workplace bullying was significantly negatively related with peer support among nurses(r=-0.395,P<0.01), and job satisfaction (r=-0.338,P<0.01). Peer support among nurses was positively correlated with job satisfaction (r=0.611, P<0.01). Among nurses, peer support was the mediating variable between workplace bullying and job satisfaction. After introduction of peer support among nurses, influence of workplace bullying on job satisfaction was statistically meaningless (β=-0.148,t=-1.716,P>0.05).Conclusions In the relationship between workplace bullying and job satisfaction, peer support among nurses plays a role as a full mediation. Nursing managers should actively introduce the idea of peer support among nurses, lower workplace bullying, and improve job satisfaction among nurses.
