Objective:To explore the potential facilitators and barriers to healthy behavior among stroke patients.Methods:Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 16 stroke patients from September 2022 to March 2023 using an objective sampling method.The interview guide was developed using the theoretical domain framework(TDF). Interviews were transcribed and refined the theme using directed content and induction analysis.Using the TDF as the initial coding framework, the themes were then merged into the most relevant domains.Finally, the correspondence between theoretical domains and the healthy behavior of stroke patients was determined based on the frequency and relationship between themes.Results:This study identified nine theoretical domains that affected the healthy behavior of stroke patients: knowledge, skills, motivation and goals, social influences, social/professional role and identity, environment context and resources, belief about capability, consequence belief and behavioral regulation.Conclusion:The healthy behavior of stroke patients is complex and influenced by several factors.The nine theoretical domains identified in this study will provide recommendations for future healthy behavior interventions for stroke patients.

ERK1/2 is a key protein that mediates cell signal transduction,and it is involved in regulating biological processes such as chromatin remodeling,nuclear disintegration,proliferation,survival,metabolism,and cell migration and differentiation.Its overactivation is closely related to the occurrence and progression of cancer,and the mechanism is manifested as the overactivation of ERK1/2 by gene mutations of upstream pathway molecules or regulators and the reactivation of ERK1/2 after inhibition against the above targets.ERK1/2 is a potentially valuable target.In this review,the mechanism of post-translational modification and spatial regulation of ERK1/2 and the application status of corresponding small-molecule inhibitors were discussed.The current antitumor strategy of targeting and regulating ERK1/2 was summarized,and the possibility of exploring potential targets was elucidated,thus providing new insights into the developmental research of ERK1/2 as an ideal anticancer target.

Objective:To explore the expression of Fbxw7 protein and its clinical significance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to provide a basis for prognostic judgement and searching the new therapeutic targets of DLBCL.Methods:A total of 72 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL who received immunohistochemical detection of c-myc protein from January 2011 to September 2017 in Cancer Hospital Affilicoted to Zhengzhou University were enrolled. The paraffin-embedded specimens after lymph node biopsy and the clinical data of patients were also collected. At the same time, 22 samples of lymph node reactive hyperplasia were selected as the control group. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Fbxw7 protein in DLBCL tissues and control tissues. The relationship between the expression of Fbxw7 protein and c-myc protein, the association of Fbxw7 protein expression with DLBCL patients' clinicopathological characteristics, efficacy and prognosis were analyzed.Results:The positive rate of Fbxw7 protein in DLBCL tissues was lower than that in control tissues, and the difference was statistically significant [63.89% (46/72) vs. 86.36% (19/22), χ 2 = 3.990, P = 0.046]. Among DLBCL patients, the positive rate of Fbxw7 protein in non-germinal center B cell (non-GCB) group was lower than that in germinal center B cell (GCB) group, and the difference was statistically significant [48.15% (13/27) vs. 73.33% (33/45), χ 2 = 4.639, P = 0.031]. There were no statistically significant differences in the positive rate of Fbxw7 protein among patients with different age, gender, neoplasm staging, international prognostic index (IPI) scores, B symptom, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, β 2 microglobulin level, and therapeutic efficacy after initial treatment (all P > 0.05). In DLBCL tissues, the expression of Fbxw7 and c-myc protein was negatively correlated ( r = -0.255, P = 0.031). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate and 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate (88.3% and 82.0%) of the Fbxw7 positive group were higher than those of the Fbxw7 negative group (70.2% and 60.1%). Cox multivariate analysis showed that the down-regulation of Fbxw7 protein expression was an independent risk factor affecting OS and PFS in DLBCL patients ( HR = 3.656, 95% CI 1.055-12.674, P = 0.041; HR = 2.897, 95% CI 1.092-7.688, P = 0.033). Conclusions:The expression of Fbxw7 protein and c-myc protein in DLBCL patients is negatively correlated. Fbxw7 protein is down-regulated in DLBCL, and it is more obvious in non-GCB subtype. The down-regulated expression of Fbxw7 protein is related to the poor prognosis of DLBCL, and Fbxw7 may become a new therapeutic target of DLBCL.

Objective To investigate the key physical and chemical properties of nintedanib liposomes prepared by 4 different methods in order to screen out the best preparation method of nintedanib liposomes.Methods Firstly,nintedanib liposomes were prepared by thin film dispersion,reverse evaporation,ethanol injection and modified ethanol injection,respectively.The entrapment efficiency of nintedanib liposomes was then determined by dialysis and characterized for particle size,dispersibility,surface potential,and morphology.Their stability was evaluated after being placed at room temperature for 7 d.Results Circular nintedanib liposomes were respectively prepared by thin film dispersion,reverse evaporation,ethanol injection and modified ethanol injection,with a particle size of(285.1±12.3),(271.4±5.9),(226.3±14.8)and(197.2±11.2)nm,an encapsulation rate of(15.82±1.26)％,(16.71±1.35)％,(25.12±3.21)％and(32.5±3.61)％,respectively.The nintedanib liposomes prepared by modified ethanol injection had significantly smallest particle size and highest encapsulation efficiency than the liposomes by the other 3 methods(P＜0.05).In 7 d after being placed at room temperature,the particle sizes of the liposomes prepared by film dispersion and reverse evaporation were increased notably(P＜0.01),but no such change was observed in the liposomes prepared by ethanol injection and modified ethanol injection(P＞0.05).Conclusion Nintedanib liposomes prepared by modified ethanol injection have excellent key physical and chemical properties,and this method is an optical one for preparing nintedanib liposomes.

This article reviews the current status, challenges, and reflections on the full-cycle health management of stroke in China. In response to the three major challenges of insufficient public attention to stroke health management, inadequate management of health care services, and an incomplete quality evaluation system, this article proposes to encourage the participation of multiple stakeholders and promote proactive health management, deepen interdisciplinary cooperation and multi-governance, strengthen human resource construction, establish and improve stroke full-cycle health management norms and quality evaluation systems, so as to provide reference for the development and improvement of stroke full-cycle health management in China.

Within traditional teaching models,students frequently assume a passive role in acquiring knowledge,potentially resulting in diminished motivation and limited engagement,particularly within the realm of Medical Immunology education.The inte-gration of role-playing,informed by constructivist learning theory,situated learning theory,and multiple intelligences theory,has demonstrated encouraging outcomes within clinical medical education settings.However,the extent to which this approach has been explored within the context of Immunology instruction remains insufficiently examined.This study investigates the utilization of role-playing as a pedagogical approach in Medical Immunology education,wherein students are assigned specific scenarios to simulate the functions of various immune components.The primary objective is to augment interactivity and the overall appeal of the learning pro-cess.Efficacy of this instructional method was evaluated through in-class quizzes,surveys,and performance analysis.The findings demonstrate that role-playing substantially enhances student engagement,comprehension,knowledge retention,and examination per-formance.In practical application,the integration of role-playing with ideological and political elements has the potential to enhance learning outcomes and foster students'enthusiasm for engaging in cutting-edge literature and immunological research.This approach also necessitates greater proficiency in teachers'professional competencies and organizational skills,as well as increased allocation of class time and spatial resources.Future research should investigate the applicability of role-playing across various educational levels and examine its potential integration with classroom ideological and political education.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between self-perceived burden (SPB) and stigma in stroke patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for the development of targeted nursing interventions in clinical practice.Methods:In September 2022, cluster sampling was used to select 1 126 stroke patients admitted to Department of Neurology of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province as subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS), and Chinese Version of Event Related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) were used to investigate stroke patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between SPB, rumination, and stigma. AMOS 28.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:A total of 1 126 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 026 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 91.12% (1 026/1 126). SPBS score of 1 026 stroke patients was (28.68±8.32), the SSS score was (40.53±9.48) and the C-ERRI score was (25.43±12.62). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SPB in stroke patients was positively correlated with stigma and rumination ( P<0.01), and rumination was positively correlated with stigma ( P<0.01). Bootstrap mediating effect test showed that rumination partially mediated the relationship between SPB and stigma in stroke patients, accounting for 55.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:SPB of stroke patients both directly affect stigma and indirectly affect stigma through rumination. Clinical nursing workers should promptly evaluate patients' SPB, pay attention to the mediating role of rumination, develop effective psychological intervention programs, implement personalized and targeted nursing measures, relieve patients' stigma, and improve treatment and rehabilitation compliance.

Objective:To understand the research status and hotspots in the field of stroke health management at home and abroad, and to provide insights for stroke health management research in China.Methods:Relevant literature on stroke health management published between 2013 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was used for the visual analysis of the number of publications, authors, institutions, countries, and keywords.Results:A total of 382 relevant articles were included, with 169 in English and 213 in Chinese. The number of publications on stroke health management showed a fluctuating upward trend. Research hotspots and frontiers in stroke health management mainly focused on telemedicine, big data and "Internet+", primary and secondary prevention, risk prediction models, quality of life, and swallowing disorders. Future research trends may focus on management models for post-stroke swallowing disorders, risk identification, and the role of caregivers in remote rehabilitation interventions.Conclusions:Researchers can refer to the research hotspots and trends shown by the visual analysis, with particular attention to health management models for patients with post-stroke swallowing disorders and issues related to remote intervention rehabilitation.

Objective To compare the hemostatic safety and efficacy of a new butterfly femoral artery compression device (FACD) with those of manual compression (MC) in patients undergoing percutaneous peripheral endovascular interventions via femoral artery. Methods A total of 283 patients, who received percutaneous endovascular interventions via femoral artery during the period from September 2016 to December 2017, were enrolled in this study. After endovascular intervention, 167 patients received FACD to make hemostasis (FACD group), and 116 patients received MC hemostasis (MC group) . The patient's comfortableness, time used for hemostasis (min), limb immobilization time (h), and the incidence of vascular complications in both groups were analyzed. Results All 283 patients were included in analysis, the results indicated that the hemostatic success rates in FACD group and MC group were 96.4％ (161/167) and 94.0％ (109/116) respectively, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The postoperative Kolcaba Comfort Scale score of FACD group was (85.0 ±11.2) points, which was remarkably higher than (58.4±11.7) points of MC group (P<0.05), the time used for hemostasis in FACD group was (9.2 ±2.2) min, which was strikingly shorter than (18.5 ±2.9) min in MC group (P <0.05) . The limb immobilization time in FACD group was (10.4±2.4) hours, which was obviously shorter than (23.1±4.1) hours in MC group (P <0.05) . The incidence of vascular complications in FACD group was 3.6％, which was dramatically lower than 9.5％ in MC group (χ2=4.206, P=0.04) . Conclusion The use of the new butterfly FACD can promptly, safely and effectively stop bleeding of femoral artery puncture site. The new butterfly FACD is superior to MC in shortening hemostatic time and limb immobilization time, in reducing incidence of vascular complications, as well as in improving patient's comfortableness degree.

Objective:To investigate the inhibitory effect of RMT1-10-induced tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DCs) in vitro on high-risk corneal allograft rejection in mice and its mechanism. Methods:One hundred SPF male BALB/c mice and fifty SPF male C57BL/6 mice were selected.Bone marrow-derived immature dendritic cells (imDCs) obtained from C57BL/6 mice were divided into imDCs group, mature dentritic cells (mDCs) group, RMT1-10 group, and IgG isotype control group.The imDCs in the four groups were cultured with no intervention, lipopolysaccharide, RMT1-10 and lipopolysaccharide, or IgG isotype antibody and lipopolysaccharide for 7 days according to grouping.The expression levels of different phenotypes of DCs including CD11c, CD80, CD86, major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-Ⅱ, T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing molecule (Tim)-4 and CD103 in the four groups were detected by flow cytometry.The concentrations of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in the DCs supernatants were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.A mixed lymphocyte culture system was established, and the stimulation index (SI) of CD4 + T cell proliferation stimulated with DCs was detected by cell counting kit 8 method.Corneal neovascularization was induced by corneal stromal suture in BALB/c mice, and the 80 mice with neovascularization in 4 quadrants growing into the middle and peripheral cornea were used as recipients.The recipient mice were randomized into imDCs group, mDCs group, RMT1-10 group, and IgG isotype control group using the random number table method, with 20 mice in each group.An injection of corresponding DCs (1×10 6 cells/100 μl) was administered to the recipient mice via the tail vein according to grouping.At 7 days following the injection, C57BL/6 mice were used as donors and penetrating keratoplasty was performed.Within one month after the operation, signs of corneal grafts rejection, including opacity, edema and neovascularization, were observed by slit lamp biomicroscopy and scored every day.At 21 days after the operation, 5 recipients selected from each group were subcutaneously injected with naive C57BL/6 splenocytes (1×10 6 cells/100 μl) behind the ear.The delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) was evaluated by ear swelling at 24 hours after the subcutaneous injection.The use and care of experimental animals complied with the Regulations on the Management of Experimental Animals promulgated by the State Science and Technology Commission.This study protocol was approved by an Ethics Committee of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical University (No.CYFYLL2020055). Results:Compared with mDCs group, the expressions of CD80, CD86 and MHC-Ⅱ, and the percentage of Tim-4-positive cells in CD11c-positive cells were significantly decreased in RMT1-10 group, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The percentage of Tim-4-positive cells were significantly decreased in RMT1-10 group than imDCs group, and the percentage of CD103-positive cells in RMT1-10 group was significantly higher than imDCs group, mDCs group and IgG isotype control group (all at P<0.001). The concentrations of IL-10 and TGF-β in the cell culture supernatant of RMT1-10 group were significantly higher than those of the other three groups, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the SI of CD4 + T cell proliferation simulated by DCs ( Fgroup=1 833.00, P<0.001; Fratio=230.40, P<0.001; Finteraction=3.06, P=0.01). The SI of DCs/CD4 + T cells ratio at 1∶5, 1∶10, 1∶20 and 1∶40 were all significantly lower in imDCs group than mDCs group, and were all significantly lower in RMT1-10 group than imDCs group (all at P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in corneal graft survival curve among various groups ( χ2=77.69, P<0.001). The survival rate of RMT1-10 group was significantly higher than that of imDCs group ( χ2=9.74, P=0.002), and the survival rate of imDCs group was significantly higher than that of mDCs group ( χ2=31.02, P<0.001). The ear swelling of recipient mice of positive control group, mDCs group, IgG isotype control group, imDCs group and RMT1-10 group was (503.6±17.2), (475.7±17.6), (456.2±18.8), (225.2±39.4), (118.1±12.6), and (106.4±7.4) μm, with a statistically significant difference among them ( F=377.10, P<0.001). The mice ear swelling was more serious in positive control group than mDCs group, more serious in IgG isotype control group than imDCs group, and more serious in imDCs group than RMT1-10 group (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:RMT1-10 can inhibit the rejection of high-risk corneal transplantation in mice, the mechanism of which may be attributed to inducing imDCs to transform into Tol-DCs in vitro and up-regulating the expression of TGF-β and IL-10, which promotes antigen-specific immune tolerance after adoptive transfer, thereby indirectly prolongs the survival of corneal grafts.
