The nuclear receptor hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha(HNF4α)plays a critical role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis,including glucose homeostasis.Sulfotransferases(SULTs)catalyze the transfer of a sulfate group from 3-phosphoadenosine 5-phosphosulfate(PAPS)to an acceptor molecule.Sulfonation plays an essential role in regulating the chemical and functional homeostasis of endogenous and exogenous molecules.Among SULTs,the cholesterol sulfotransferase 2B1b(SULT2B1b)preferentially catalyzes the sulfoconjugation of cholesterol and oxysterols to form cholesterol sulfate and oxysterol sulfates.Hepatic gluconeogenesis represents a critical component of energy metabolism.Although there have been reviews on the regulation of glucose homeostasis by HNF4α,the interplay between HNF4α and SULT2B1b in hepatic glucose homeostasis remains scattered.In this review,we intend to provide an overview on how HNF4α functionally cross-talks with SULT2B1b to regulate hepatic glucose homeostasis and whether the HNF4α-SULT2B1b axis represents a novel therapeutic target for the management of metabolic liver disease and metabolic syndrome.

Objective To establish and evaluate the satisfaction index system in accordance with high quality nursing standard for emergency patients.Methods Emergency patients′satisfaction scale which included 4 dimensions and 20 items was established by literature research and the Delphi method.The reliability and validity of scale were analyzed and evaluated by Cronbach′s αindex and exploratory factor.Results The Cronbach′s αindex of each dimension was above 0.80 in the scale.The accumulative contribution rate of 4 extracted common factors reached 77.963%.Conclusions Emergency patients′satisfaction scale combined with high quality nursing service is characterized with good reliability and construct validity.The scale can be used as evaluation tool for emergency patients′satisfaction to continuously improve high quality emergency nursing.

Objective In order to improve the"high-dose blood transfusion procedure",shorten the preparation time for blood transfusion in patients with clinical traumatic hemorrhagic shock,and improve the outcome of patients.Methods Patients with emergency traumatic hemorrhagic shock from January to December 2021 were selected as the study subjects.Patients who received improved high-dose transfusion procedures from July to December were selected as the experimental group,and patients who received conventional transfusion procedures from January to June were selected as the control group.The timeliness indexes and outcome indexes of the 2 groups were compared.Results The delivery time for blood type and routine examination was shortened from 15 min to 8 min(U=143.50,P=0.024);transfusion preparation time was shortened from 31 min to 19 min(U=126.50,P=0.026);the time for decision-making blood preparation was shortened from 44 min to 18 min(U=152.50,P=0.007);emergency stay time was shortened from 135 min to 114 min(U=91.50,P=0.036);the outcome distribution of patients(x2=10.64,P=0.031)was improved.Conclusion The improved high-dose blood transfusion procedure can significantly shorten the blood transfusion preparation time for patients with traumatic hemorrhagic shock and improve the treatment rate of patients.
