AIM: To identify the non-steroid transcription factors upregulating the expression of L-plastin in hormone-independent prostate cancer, and partly elucidate the mechanism of hormone-refractory prostate cancer. METHODS: TF SEARCH software was used to analysis the possible binding sites of transcription factors in the 3’ end of L-plastin promoter that had been identified as important part of regulation response elements. Gel shift assay and supershift assay were used to confirm the transcription factors binding the speculated response elements. PCR site-mutagenesis technique was performed to delete the binding site of transcription factor and luciferase activity assay was carried out after deletion of the binding site. RESULTS: SP-1 respond element GGTGGGGCGGGGA located at -54- -41 of L-plastin promoter was identified with the TF SEARCH software. Gel shift assay and supershift assay confirmed that SP-1 was the transcription factor binding to GGTGGGGCGGGGA. Mutant deleted the SP-1 binding-site had low-luciferase activity than that of the naive. CONCLUSION: SP-1 plays an important role in the up-regulation of L-plastin expression in hormone-independent prostate cancer.

Objective:To elucidate the phenomenon that epileptic seizure occurs in patients with epilepsy without definite diagnosis when driving a motor vehicle and its hazards.Methods:From January 2020 to June 2022, 7 epileptic patients who experienced traffic accidents caused by seizures were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, and their demographic data, traffic accident related data and epilepsy diagnosis and treatment data were summarized and analyzed.Results:A total of 7 adult patients with epilepsy were collected, including 6 males, 4 of whom had been driving for more than 10 years. Among them, 1 patient drove a bus, and the other 6 patients drove private cars. Totally 5/7 of the accidents resulted in personal injury, and 3/7 of the accidents resulted in personal death. In 5 patients, video electroencephalogram showed interictal epileptiform discharges. In 2 patients, the imaging findings suggested the presence of cerebral cortical lesions that may lead to seizures. In terms of the form of seizure, 3 patients′ seizure type was focal to bilateral tonic-clonic, and the other 4 patients were very probable to be focal impaired awareness seizure.Conclusions:Undiagnosed epileptic seizures lead to traffic accidents, endanger patients and public safety, which need to attract attention from both doctors and patients, as well as the whole society.

Objective:To investigate the biological behavior spectrum of platelet-derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFRA)-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and to compare the clinical values of the Zhongshan method of benign and malignant evaluation with the modified National Institutes of Health (NIH) risk stratification.Methods:A total of 119 cases of GIST with PDGFRA mutation who underwent surgical resection at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University from 2009 to 2020 were collected. The clinicopathological data, follow-up records, and subsequent treatment were reviewed and analyzed statistically.Results:There were 79 males and 40 females. The patients ranged in age from 25 to 80 years, with a median age of 60 years. Among them, 115 patients were followed up for 1-154 months, and 13 patients progressed to disease. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 90.1% and 94.1%, respectively. According to the modified NIH risk stratification, 8 cases, 32 cases, 38 cases, and 35 cases were very-low risk, low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk, and 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 95.6%, 94.3%, and 80.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference in prognosis among the non-high risk groups, only the difference between high risk and non-high risk groups was significant ( P=0.029). However, the 5-year OS was 100.0%, 100.0%, 95.0% and 89.0%, and there was no difference ( P=0.221). According to the benign and malignant evaluation Zhongshan method, 43 cases were non-malignant (37.4%), 56 cases were low-grade malignant (48.7%), 9 cases were moderately malignant (7.8%), and 7 cases were highly malignant (6.1%). The 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 91.7%, 77.8%, 38.1%, and the difference was significant ( P<0.001). The 5-year OS were 100.0%, 97.5%, 77.8%, 66.7%, the difference was significant ( P<0.001). Conclusions:GIST with PDGFRA gene mutation shows a broad range of biological behavior, ranging from benign to highly malignant. According to the Zhongshan method, non-malignant and low-grade malignant tumors are common, the prognosis after surgery is good, while the fewer medium-high malignant tumors showed poor prognosis after surgical resection. The overall biological behavior of this type of GIST is relatively inert, which is due to the low proportion of medium-high malignant GIST. The modified NIH risk stratification may not be effective in risk stratification for PDGFRA mutant GIST.

Background/Aims:
Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for the sickest patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). However, the influence of donor age on liver transplantation, especially in ACLF patients, is still unclear.
Methods:
In this study, we used the data of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We included patients with ACLF who received liver transplantation from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2017, and the total number was 13,857. We allocated the ACLF recipients by age intogroup I (donor age ≤17 years, n=647); group II (donor age 18–59 years, n=11,423); and group III (donor age ≥60 years, n=1,787). Overall survival (OS), graft survival, and mortality were com-pared among the three age groups and the four ACLF grades. Cox regression was also analyzed.
Results:
The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 89.6%, 85.5%, and 82.0% in group I; 89.4%, 83.4%, and 78.2% in group II; and 86.8%, 78.4%, and 71.4% in group III, respectively (p<0.001).When we analyzed the different effects of donor age on OS with different ACLF grades, in groupsII and III, we observed statistical differences. Finally, the cubic spline curve told us that the relative death rate changed linearly with increasing donor age.
Conclusions
Donor age is related to OS and graft survival of ACLF patients after transplanta-tion, and poorer results were associated with elderly donors. In addition, different donor ages have different effects on recipients with different ACLF grades.

Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge, attitude and practice of exercise rehabilitation nursing of clinical nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in China.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to conduct an online survey of 9 091 nurses from 31 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions by using a self-designed questionnaire on Nurses' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Exercise Rehabilitation from May to July 2019. There were 34 items in the questionnaire, which mainly included the basic information of the survey objects, the knowledge and skills of sports rehabilitation nursing that nurses needed to master, the willingness of nurses to provide sports rehabilitation guidance and the current status of clinical implementation. A total of 9 091 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and the effective response rate was 100%.Results:Among the 9 091 nurses, 3 728 nurses (41.0%, 3 728/9 091) and 3 749 nurses (41.2%, 3 749/9 091) respectively indicated that they had not received relevant courses or skills training in school. 8 565 nurses (94.2%, 8 565/9 091) thought it was important to provide sports rehabilitation guidance, but they lacked the corresponding guidance ability, motivation and energy. In practice, 8 493 nurses (93.4%, 8 493/9 091) would provide suggestions and guidance related to sports rehabilitation to patients, mainly based on departmental nursing routine, relevant training, personal experience and literature.Conclusions:Clinical nurses in ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in China have a positive attitude to participate in the exercise rehabilitation guidance of patients, but the level of knowledge and skills is low, and the behavior of rehabilitation guidance needs to be standardized. In the future, it should be further strengthened in terms of professional training, personnel training and related guidelines and standard construction.

Objective:To investigate the association between rs284489 in the 8q22 region and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in Sichuan, and the association between rs284489 and gender difference.Methods:A case control study was adopted.A total of 894 Han Nationality POAG patients in Sichuan People's Hospital from September 2015 to March 2017 were included, and 994 control patients who participated in physical examination in the same period were included.All subjects had no blood relationship and all were Han Chinese.Each sample of 4 ml-peripheral blood was collected for extracting DNA and rs284489 information was obtained from NCBI website.Primers 5.0 software was used to design primers.Genotyping was performed by using a tailored "Chinese-Chip" for association analysis of the rs284489 in the 8q22 region.Genotype allele frequencies and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) were assessed by using χ2 test.Logistic regression was applied to adjust for gender differences between the cases and controls.The PS; Power and Sample Size Calculation (version 3.1.2) software was used to calculate statistical power.This study followed the Declaration of Helsinki.This study followed the guidelines for the collection of human genetic disease specimens issued by the Ministry of Health of China.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital (No.2016-58). Results:The allele distribution of rs284489 was within the HWE for both case and control groups (both at P>0.05). The difference of the minor allele-G distribution between the case group and the control group was not significant (allelic P*=0.94, OR [95% CI] **=1.01[0.83-1.23]); To further investigate the association between rs284489 and POAG, four genetic models, including model 1 (AG vs. AA), additive model 2 (GG vs.AA), dominant model (GG+ AG vs.AA), and recessive model (GG vs.AG+ AA) were applied.There was no significant difference in the four genetic models between the case and control groups (adjusted P# additive model 1 =0.26, P# additive model 2 =0.54, P# dominant model =0.50, P# recessive model =0.25); the gender difference in this study was not associated with the polymorphism of rs284489 (adjusted P#=1.00, crude OR [95% CI]=1.00[0.88-1.14], adjusted OR [95% CI]=1.00 [0.87-1.14]). Conclusions:rs284489 is not statistically associated with POAG in a Sichuan Han Chinese population.
