Objective To study what affect the incidence and recurrence of keloids. Methods A total of 476 cases were treated with surgery plus adjunctive radiation therapy, intraleisional injection of triamcinolone acetonaide acetate, or surgery plus postoperative topical medicine. The family history and other clinical data were analyzed, including patients' age, sex, the duration of keloids, initiating factors, location, size, treatment method, and recurrence of the keloids. Results Keloids occurred in both male and female with the rate of 1. 83 ∶ 1. 00, with a predominance in woman aged from 22 to 45 years old. Trauma and pierce were the most significant initiating factors. The recurrence was affected by patients family history, treatment methods and the location of keloids, and less affected by keloids size, patients' age and sex. Conclusions Both surgery following adjunctive radiation therapy and intraleisional Kenalog injection are useful methods, which are prior to surgery plus postoperative topical medicine. The keloids incidence has a preponderance in some patients with family history. Therefore,genetic research is important to identify the pathogenetic factors in the keloids.

Objective? To introduce the Gastrointestinal Symptoms Index Revised (GCSI-R) scale and verify its reliability and validity in mild acute pancreatitis patients. Methods? Following the Brislin principle of translation, 2 nursing graduate students who passed CET-6 translated English version GCSI-R scale and 2 oversea graduated nursing experts in the nursing related field who were highly proficient in both Chinese and English did the backtranslation and made the cultural adjustments to the scale through expert consultation and pre-surveys. By convenience sampling, 99 patients with mild acute pancreatitis admitted in Pancrea Center in a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Jiangsu Province from January to May of 2018 were selected and tested the reliability and validity of the scale. Finally, 83 valid scales were included to analyze the reliability and validity of the revised version among the patients with mild acute pancreatitis. Results? The Chinese version of scale consisted of 8 items with 3 dimensions (nausea/vomiting, early satiety, bloating). The Chinese version of the GCSI-R scale had a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.765, and the dimensions of Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.739, 0.739, and 0.725 respectively, and the test-retest reliability was 0.805. Evaluated by the committee of experts, the content validity of various items in the Chinese version of GCSI-R (S-CVI/Ave) on average was 0.90, and their content validity index (I-CVI) ranged 0.80 to 1.00. Exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 3 common factors, which explained 72.17% of the total variance,and the factor load of each item on its common factor was >0.4. Conclusions? The Chinese version of GCSI-R scale has good reliability and validity and can be used as a simple tool for self-assessment on gastrointestinal function in patients with acute pancreatitis during the early period of hospitalization.

Objective:To explore the mutuality among main caregivers of pancreatic cancer patients with surgery, and its correlations with the perceived social support and resilience.Methods:From March to July 2019, this study selected 150 main caregivers of pancreatic cancer patients with surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University as subjects by convenience sampling. All of patients were investigated with the General Information Questionnaire, the Mutuality Scale (MS) , Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and the 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) . A total of 150 questionnaires were sent out and 144 valid of them were collected.Results:Among 144 main caregivers of pancreatic cancer patients after surgery, the total average score of MS was (2.75±0.73) . Pearson correlation analysis results showed that the mutuality of main caregivers had positive correlations with the perceived social support and resilience with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the genders, income, perceived social support and resilience went into the regression equation; except for the general information, the perceived social support and resilience could explain 24.5% of the variation. Conclusions:Main caregivers of pancreatic cancer patients with surgery have the above medium level of mutuality which has close correlations with the perceived social support and resilience. Medical staff should pay attention to maintaining the positive relations between caregivers and patients so as to promote the physical and mental health of caregivers.

Objective:To screen the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) signature-related differentially expressed genes (DEG) in gastric cancer and to construct a prognostic risk model based on a bioinformatics.Methods:Transcriptome sequencing data (RNA-seq) of 375 gastric cancer and 32 paracancerous tissue samples downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and the corresponding clinical information were obtained as training set samples; data of 387 gastric cancer patients (GSE84437) from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were downloaded as validation set samples. All data were obtained on December 25, 2021. A total of 785 ERS signature-related genes (ERS-RG) were obtained from the GeneCards database. DEG between gastric cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues in the TCGA database was analyzed. The identified gastric cancer DEG were intersected with ERS-RG from the GeneCards database to obtain gastric cancer ERS signature-related DEG, which were analyzed for gene ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment. Univariate Cox proportional risk model was used to screen ERS signature-related DEG with prognostic value in gastric cancer, and LASSO regression analysis was performed to construct a polygenic prognostic risk model, and to calculate the prognostic risk score. The patients in training set and validation set were divided into high-risk group and low-risk group according to the median of the prognostic risk score (2.369); Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the overall survival (OS) and to draw time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of patients in the two groups; nomogram was drawn based on the prognostic independent influencing factors of gastric cancer. The characteristic immune cell infiltration abundance between the two groups was analyzed by using the inverse convolution-based CIBERSORT algorithm. Cytolytic activity scores were calculated by using the geometric mean of granzyme A and perforin 1 expression. According to the median prognostic risk score (2.369) and median tumor mutation burden (TMB) (3.000), all patients with gastric cancer were divided into high risk score-high TMB group, high risk score-low TMB group, low risk score-high TMB group and low risk score-low TMB group to compare the OS of patients in each group.Results:A total of 444 ERS signature-related DEG in gastric cancer including 168 down-regulated genes and 276 up-regulated genes were obtained, which were mainly enriched in biological processes such as protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor interactions and unfolded protein responses (all P < 0.05). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that 12 prognostic-related ERS signature-related DEG in gastric cancer were screened out. LASSO regression analysis was performed to obtain a prognostic risk score = 0.052×NOS3+0.137×PON1+0.067×CXCR4+0.131×MATN3+0.116×ANXA5+0.090×SERPINE1. The results of Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the OS of the low-risk group in both the training and validation sets was better than that of the high-risk group (all P < 0.01). The results of the time-dependent ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC for the 3-year, 5-year, 8-year OS rates was 0.695, 0.786, 0.698, respectively in the training set, while the AUC for the 3-year 5-year, 8-year OS rates was 0.580, 0.625, 0.627, respectively in the validation set. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prognostic risk score ( HR = 3.598, 95% CI 2.290-5.655, P < 0.001) and tumor stage ( HR = 1.344, 95% CI 1.057-1.709, P < 0.05) were independent factors influencing the prognosis of gastric cancer. Among 375 gastric cancer patients in the TCGA database, the expression levels of ATF6, HSPA5, XBP1 and ATF4 in the high-risk group were higher than those in the low-risk group (all P < 0.05); CIBERSORT results showed that the abundance of activated CD4 memory T cells in the high-risk group was lower than that in the low-risk group, and the abundance of both M0 and M2 macrophages in the high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group (all P < 0.05). The expression levels of common immune checkpoints (CD274, CTLA4, TNFRSF9, TIGIT, PDCD1, LAG3) in the high-risk group were all higher than those in the low-risk group (all P < 0.05). Cytolytic activity score in the high-risk group was higher than that in the low-risk group ( P < 0.05). The prognostic risk score was negatively correlated with TMB ( r = -0.20, P < 0.001). Patients in the low-risk score-high TMB group had the best OS and those in the high-risk score-low TMB group had the worst OS (both P < 0.001). Conclusions:The prognostic risk score model is established based on 6 ERS signature-related DEG in gastric cancer and its prognostic risk score may be effective as an independent prognostic factor to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer patients.
