Aim To investigate the effects of meloxi-cam on the proliferation,migration and expression of PTEN of human colorectal cancer LoVo cells.Meth-ods The colony formation test was used to detect the effect of meloxicam on the proliferation of LoVo cells. The cell migration assay was applied to analyze the effect of meloxicam on LoVo cells activity.The RT-PCR assay was used to detect the effect of meloxicam on the mRNA expression of PCNA and PTEN gene. The western blot assay was applied to analyze the effects of meloxicam on the expression of PTEN pro-tein.The recombinant adenovirus and Annexin-V assay were used to testify the relationship between PTEN gene and anti-cancer effect of meloxicam.Results Compared with the control group,meloxicam could in-hibit the colony formation and PCNA protein expression of LoVo cells.At 48 h and 80 μmol·L -1 ,the expres-sion of PCNA protein was reduced to 61 .57% ± 2.81 %(T =7.086,P =0.01 9),the mRNA expres-sion of PTEN gene increased to 1 60.43% ±4.71 %(T=24.244,P =0.002),and the expression of PTEN protein increased to 1 52.63% ±3.33%(T =27.359, P =0.001 ).Results Annexin-V test indicated that the anti-cancer effect of meloxicam was associated with the up-regulated expression of PTEN.Conclusions Meloxicam can inhibit the proliferation and migration of LoVo cells by up-regulating the expression of PTEN.

Objective To identify the role of p53 in the induction of growth arrest DNA damage-inducible gene 45β (GADD45β) in HCC cells by Oxaliplatin.Methods A Hep3B+p53 clone was established by transfection of the full-length p53 sequence to Hep3B.Following oxaliplatin administration,quantitative real-time PCR was employed to validate the expression changes of GADD45β.pGL3 basic luciferase plasmids including promoter fragments were synthesized in vitro and transfected into cells.The effects on promoter activity,cell growth and the cleavage of Caspase-3 were further focused on.Results Hep3B+p53 expressed p53 protein stably.The transfection of p553 enhanced the induction of GADD45β in Hep3B by Oxaliplatin.The promoter activity of fragments constructed NF-κB and E2F-1 binding sites was induced about 1.5 and 0.8 folds by transfection of p53.The colony formation and DNA syntheses were inhibited apparently in Hep3B+p53 with p53 by Oxaliplatin (30.41％ and 75.60％ by 100 μmol/L Oxaliplatin,respectively).Moreover,p53 transfection triggered cleavage of Caspase-3 more rapidly.Conclusion p53 played a role in the induction of GADD45β in Hep3B by Oxaliplatin.

Objective:To explore the application of linkage teaching model between hospitals and colleges based on integration of theory and practice in the course of pediatric nursing skills.Methods:Two undergraduate classes of pediatric nursing in a college in 2017 were selected as the experimental group and the control group by random sampling. The experimental group adopted the combined teaching method of colleges and hospitals based on the integration of truth and practice, while the control group adopted the traditional teaching method. The results of skill operation assessment were compared between the two groups, and the results were evaluated by the self-designed teaching effect evaluation questionnaire.Results:The results of the combined nursing skills teaching in colleges and universities were higher in the experimental group (91.24±3.01) than that in the control group (87.33±2.96), the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 5.027, P<0.05). The evaluation score of teaching effect of the experimental group was 62.61 ± 2.94, which was significantly higher than that of the control group (49.67 ± 7.79) ( t value was 7.965, P<0.05). Conclusions:The combined teaching mode of colleges and hospitals based on the integration of theory and practice is beneficial to improve students′ comprehensive quality and learning effect, further shorten the gap between college theory and clinical practice, and is an effective form of pediatric nursing education.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the effects of psychosocial support-related activities on mental health of older adults. MethodsRandomized controlled trails (RCTs) on mental health benefits for older adults were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO and CNKI, until August, 2022. A systematic review was conducted. ResultsSeven RCTs were included, from Spain, Chile, Canada, Finland, the United Kingdom, South Korea and the United States, mainly from psychiatry, mental health of the elderly and other journals, published after 2017. The subjects aged 60 to 80 years, accounting to 1 258 cases. Psychosocial interventions included Pilates, mindfulness, behavioral activation, cognitive stimulation, daily difficult problem solving training, pain and depression symptom management, health education and guidance, nursing coordination, group exercise (such as circuit training, pedal training or rubber band training), and water sports, etc. The frequency of intervention was 30 to 120 minutes a time, one to nine times a week, and the intensity of the intervention was low to high intensity for four to 64 weeks. Intervention sites included sports venues, community health centres, ageing services, and intervention staff included sports therapists (yoga), psychologists, health professionals, community health services, and health care workers. All interventions were carried out under supervision. The benefits of psychosocial intervention on the mental health of the older adults mainly reflected in the improving cognitive function and self-efficacy, reducing anxiety and depression, improving depressed mood or loneliness, improving sleep quality, increasing sense of social integration and relieving pain and other problems. ConclusionMental health interventions (psychological interventions or support, social interventions or support, psychosocial interventions) and mental health-related interventions (physical activity interventions) benefit older people's mental health, including improving cognitive function, alleviating anxiety and depression, improving sleep quality, and improving quality of life and well-being.

Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is characterized by a high suicide rate and a high recurrence rate. The effect of the medicine on TRD is not ideal with obvious side effects. Psychotherapy is an important method recommended in many guidelines for the treatment of depression. However, previous studies and clinical applications have paid little attention to the application of psychotherapy in TRD. Therefore, based on recent studies, this paper reviews the effects of psychotherapy on the depressive symptoms, suicide risk, and recurrence risk in TRD. Further, the possible therapeutic mechanisms are discussed, including the improvement of interpersonal function by dealing with early trauma in TRD, therefore alleviating symptoms; intervening in the dysfunctional cognitive pattern of TRD to help them cope with negative life events, therefore reducing stress and depression. Combined with the limitations of existing studies, the following directions can be considered in the future: improving the research quality, measuring behavioral and physiological indicators to further clarify the therapeutic mechanism, identifying ways in which psychotherapy can be combined with other treatments, exploring the group and online therapy to increase accessibility of psychotherapy for TRD.

Objective: To analyze the situation of AIDS knowledge and discrimination among freshmen in Chengdu city, and to explore possible effects of AIDS knowledge on discrimination. Methods: A cluster random sampling was employed to investigate 1 053 college students from 11 universities in Chengdu about their HIV/AIDS knowledge and discrimination. The scores of AIDS knowledge and discrimination of students with different characteristics were analyzed, and the influence path of AIDS knowledge on AIDS discrimination were further analyzed based on different peer relationships. Results: The total scores of AIDS knowledge was negatively correlated to AIDS discrimination( r s =-0.13, P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, the total score of AIDS knowledge was associated with the total score of AIDS discrimination( β =-0.12, P <0.01). AIDS knowledge played a role in AIDS discrimination in intimate, general and unfamiliar peer relationships, with standardized path coefficients of -0.20, -0.24 and -0.18 respectively( P <0.01). Conclusion AIDS knowledge are correlated with discrimination among freshmen under different peer relationships. More anti-AIDS discrimination courses should be added to AIDS education to reduce the students’ fear and stigma of HIV/AIDS patients and related risk groups.

The occurrence of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH)was related to disrupted sex steroid hormones,and metformin(Met)had a clinical response to sex steroid hormone-related gynaecological disease.How-ever,whether Met exerts an antiproliferative effect on BPH via sex steroid hormones remains unclear.Here,our clinical study showed that along with prostatic epithelial cell(PEC)proliferation,sex steroid hormones were dysregulated in the serum and prostate of BPH patients.As the major contributor to dysregulated sex steroid hormones,elevated dihydrotestosterone(DHT)had a significant positive rela-tionship with the clinical characteristics of BPH patients.Activation of adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase(AMPK)by Met restored dysregulated sex steroid hormone homeostasis and exerted antiproliferative effects against DHT-induced proliferation by inhibiting the formation of androgen receptor(AR)-mediated Yes-associated protein(YAP1)-TEA domain transcription factor(TEAD4)heterodimers.Met's anti-proliferative effects were blocked by AMPK inhibitor or YAP1 over-expression in DHT-cultured BPH-1 cells.Our findings indicated that Met would be a promising clinical therapeutic approach for BPH by inhibiting dysregulated steroid hormone-induced PEC proliferation.

Objective:To investigate the significance of plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in patients with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH).Methods:Plasma PTX3 levels were tested by ELISA in 48 newly diagnosed sHLH patients, 18 healthy volunteers and 9 lymphoma controls in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2017 to July 2019. Clinical parameters were collected, and the correlations with PTX3 levels were analyzed.Results:PTX3 level in newly diagnosed group was significantly higher than that of healthy control group [16.29(1.17-66.00) vs. 0.76(0.01-7.86) μg/L, P<0.01]. Patients with lymphoma-associated HLH(LHLH) had higher plasma level of PTX3 than Fhose with infection-associated HLH (IHLH) [24.29(3.36-66.00) vs. 9.56(1.17-36.50)μg/L, P<0.05]. Plasma PTX3 levels in 48 sHLH patients were positively correlated with serum ferritin ( P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for plasma PTX3 levels of sHLH and healthy controls produced a cutoff value at 3.9 μg/L, with its 86.7% sensitivity and 94.4% specificity. And ROC analysis showed that PTX3 17.5 μg/L was the critical value for diagnosis of LHLH from non-LHLH group, that the sensitivity and specificity were 63.0% and 76.2% respectively. The 1-year overall survival (OS) rate in patients with PTX3≥17.5 μg/L was significantly lower in those with PTX3<17.5 μg/L (18.5% vs. 75.8%, P<0.01). Conclusion:These results indicate the potential of PTX3 as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis in patients with sHLH.

Despite advances in immunotherapy for the treatment of cancers,not all patients can benefit from programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1)immune checkpoint blockade therapy.Anti-PD-L1 therapeutic effects reportedly correlate with the PD-L1 expression level;hence,accurate detection of PD-L1 expression can guide immunotherapy to achieve better therapeutic effects.Therefore,based on the high affinity antibody Nb109,a new site-specifically radiolabeled tracer,68Ga-NODA-cysteine,aspartic acid,and valine(CDV)-Nb109,was designed and synthesized to accurately monitor PD-L1 expression.The tracer 68Ga-NODA-CDV-Nb109 was obtained using a site-specific conjugation strategy with a radiochemical yield of about 95％and radiochemical purity of 97％.It showed high affinity for PD-L1 with a dissociation constant of 12.34±1.65 nM.Both the cell uptake assay and positron emission tomography(PET)imaging revealed higher tracer uptake in PD-L1-positive A375-hPD-L1 and U87 tumor cells than in PD-L1-negative A375 tumor cells.Meanwhile,dynamic PET imaging of a NC1-H1299 xenograft indicated that doxorubicin could upregulate PD-L1 expression,allowing timely interventional immunotherapy.In conclusion,this tracer could sensitively and dynamically monitor changes in PD-L1 expression levels in different cancers and help screen patients who can benefit from anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy.

【Objective】 To learn the production efficient of platelet components among prefecture-level blood stations in China, to provide supporting data for those blood stations to optimize the production mode of platelet components and continuously improve production efficiency and supply capacity. 【Methods】 The data from 2017 to 2020 was obtained from 24 prefecture-level blood stations who were the members of the practice comparison network for blood institutes in China. The collection units of apheresis platelets, the number of dual-collections of apheresis platelets and plasma, the average apheresis units of one platelet apheresis procedure, the discarded rate of apheresis platelets, the amount of expired apheresis platelets and the amount of apheresis platelets issued were collected. For concentrated platelets, the prepared amount of platelet concentrates and the amount of expired platelet concentrates were collected; both the quantity of qualified and issued concentrated platelets were submitted for statistical analysis.The total output and efficiency of platelet components were calculated based on the collected data. 【Results】 The average annual growth rate of apheresis platelets collection in 24 prefecture-level blood stations was 12.23%, accounting for 99.80% of the total platelet output; the average collection unit of one platelets apheresis procedure was 1.75; from 2019 to 2020, only 5 blood stations performed dual-collection of platelet and plasma during one apheresis procedure; the discarded rate of apheresis platelets was 0.28%, of which 0.007% was due to expiration. A total of 1 621.2 therapeutic units of concentrated platelets were prepared, and 13.03% of them was discarded due to the expiration. The production efficiency of platelet components was 97.56%, of which the production efficiency of apheresis platelets was 97.61% and the production efficiency of concentrated platelets was 74.43%. 【Conclusion】 There are large regional differences in the supply capacity of platelet components in prefecture-level blood stations. Apheresis platelets are the main resource of platelet components product, and the collection capacity is increasing over the years with the characteristics of high production efficiency and low expiration scrapping rate. However, the preparation of concentrated platelets are still limited with relatively low production and high expiration discarded rate.
