The gene is frequently mutated and abnormally activated in many cancers,and plays an important role in cancer development. Metabolic reprogramming occurs in malignant tumors,which can be one of the key targets for anti-tumor therapy. gene can regulate lipid metabolism through AKT-mTORC1 single axis or multiple pathways,such as lipid synthesis pathways and degradation pathways. Similarly,lipid metabolism can also modify and activate RAS protein and its downstream signaling pathways. This article overviews the current research progress on the interaction between lipid metabolism and ,to provide insight in therapeutic strategies of lipid metabolism for -driven tumors.

Objective:To construct a psychological support training program for palliative care specialist nurses based on positive psychology theory and make a preliminary application.Methods:From August to September, 2020, 142 palliative nursing specialist nurses in Hunan Provincial Palliative Nursing Specialist Training Base were selected as the research objects. Based on positive psychology therapy, using literature review and analysis, semi-structured interviews, expert group meetings and other methods to construct the program, and the work stress, psychological resilience and subjective well-being scores of nurses before and after 8 weeks of psychological support training were compared.Results:The program included three dimensions: cognition, emotion and behavior. After the psychological support training for 8 weeks, the nursing staff′s work stress score 80.76 ± 20.43 was lower than that before the psychological support training 84.70 ± 19.88, the difference was statistically significant( t=6.59, P<0.05), and the psychological resilience score 64.40 ±14.26 was higher than that before the psychological support training 60.19 ±15.85, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-7.39, P<0.05), and the subjective well-being score 75.70 ± 7.70 was higher than that before the psychological support training 74.13 ± 5.98, the difference was statistically significant ( t=-3.52, P<0.05). Conclusions:The psychological support training program based on positive psychology theory can reduce the the work stress, improve psychological resilience and increase subjective well-being of palliative care specialist nurses.

Objective This paper aims to investigate and analyze the baseline conformity rate of bacterial culture exami-nation records in a tertiary specialized hospital.By doing this,this paper seeks to understand the current situation of medical re-cord writing of bacterial culture examination and explore the improvement path and relevant measures for enhancing the conformity rate of bacterial culture examination records.Methods According to the requirements of"Quality Control Index of Medical Re-cord Management(2021 Edition)",a retrospective analysis was conducted on 6 317 medical records that underwent bacterial culture examination in 2022.Results The execution rate of medical orders was 100.00%,the completeness rate of the report sheet was 100.00%,the record rate of medical records was 81.05%,the analysis rate of results was 33.07%,and the conformi-ty rate of bacterial culture examination records was 33.07%.Conclusion It is imperative to enhance the conformity rate of bac-terial culture examination records and improve the quality of medical records in terms of content.

N-methyladenosine (mA), catalyzed by the methyltransferase complex consisting of Mettl3 and Mettl14, is the most abundant RNA modification in mRNAs and participates in diverse biological processes. However, the roles and precise mechanisms of mA modification in regulating neuronal development and adult neurogenesis remain unclear. Here, we examined the function of Mettl3, the key component of the complex, in neuronal development and adult neurogenesis of mice. We found that the depletion of Mettl3 significantly reduced mA levels in adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) and inhibited the proliferation of aNSCs. Mettl3 depletion not only inhibited neuronal development and skewed the differentiation of aNSCs more toward glial lineage, but also affected the morphological maturation of newborn neurons in the adult brain. mA immunoprecipitation combined with deep sequencing (MeRIP-seq) revealed that mA was predominantly enriched in transcripts related to neurogenesis and neuronal development. Mechanistically, mA was present on the transcripts of histone methyltransferase Ezh2, and its reduction upon Mettl3 knockdown decreased both Ezh2 protein expression and consequent H3K27me3 levels. The defects of neurogenesis and neuronal development induced by Mettl3 depletion could be rescued by Ezh2 overexpression. Collectively, our results uncover a crosstalk between RNA and histone modifications and indicate that Mettl3-mediated mA modification plays an important role in regulating neurogenesis and neuronal development through modulating Ezh2.
