The mechanism of long chain non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is diverse. LncRNA can regulate the expression of genes at multiple levels and is closely related to some pathological process, such as tumor formation, viral replication, inflammatory damage, etc. The abnormal expression of lncRNA is involved in the patho-physiological changes of the disease, and plays a key role in many links, such as the stability of mRNA, the regulation of translation level, protein transport, RNA processing and modification, and so on. The development of sepsis inflammatory injury is a complex process involving multiple genes and pathways, in which the abnormal structure and expression of many encoding genes or non-coding genes exist.This paper review the research progress on lncRNA in the regulation of chondriokinesis, pro-inflammatory cytokines, calcium ion transport, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in signal pathway and other inflammatory lesions, which may provide a new method for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Objective To explore the current situations in self-management of cancer patients over peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and the influencing factors. Method Self-designed general demographic data form, disease-related questionnaire and PICC self-management ability for cancer patients were used to investigate 98 tumor patients with PICC. Results The total score on self-management ability of the cancer patient with PICC was (150.85 ± 17.35). The influencing factors of their self-management of PICC included education level, economic condition, presence or absence of long-term caregivers and cognitive disorders, all contributive to the prediction of 28.60%total variance for the patients′self-management capability. Conclusions Cancer patients have a better ability in managing PICC, but a few patients failed to grasp self-management skills, which was resulted from many factors. Nurses should pay more attention to those with less education, under poorer economic conditions and without long-term caregivers, and provide them with more care and education so as to comprehensively improve their self-management skills.
