The paper reports a review on the current situation of the hierarchy and quality of the evidence related to both national and international evidence-based nursing research and practice.The limitations and barriers have been analyzed from both research methodology and data acquisition technique aspects.The available evidences provided by past studies are limited in post hoc indicators (e.g.hospital stay,fatigue,stress or sleep quality,etc.) and subjective methodologies (e.g.questionnaire,self-report or interview,etc.),that restrains the further development of evidence-based healthcare,in terms of its reliability,validity and application.The advantages/disadvantages and feasibility of new potential technologies,such as body sensors and smart phones,have also been discussed.

Objective:To explore the effect of autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine(3-MA) on camptothecin(CPT)-induced Hela cell apoptosis.Methods:MTT assays were carried out to determine the optimal concentration and time of CPT on Hela cells and the effect of different drugs on Hela cell proliferation activity .After Hela cells were treated with different drugs ,the changes of autophagy marker protein( microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3,LC3),p62 and apoptosis-related protein were detected using Western blot and immunofluorescence ( IF) .DAPI ( nuclear ) staining was used to observe cell apoptosis rate .Results: In CPC-treated Hela cells,Hela cell proliferation activity declined dramatically ,and autophagy could be induced to occur .Compared with CPT group ,the cell proliferation activity was lower in CPT combined with 3-MA group,the level of autophagy decreased ,but the apoptosis rate significantly increased.Conclusion:CPT can induce autophagy while inducing Hela cell death .Hela cells chemosensitivity to CPT treatment can be enhanced by 3-MA inhibiting autophagy .

Objective To detect the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R),and thrombospondin type-1 domain-containing 7A (THSD7A) expression in renal tissue and the levels of their antibodies in adult idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN).Also to determine the value of the two markers in the diagnosis of IMN.Methods One hundred and sixteen patients with biopsyproven MN at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2014 to August 2015 were enrolled,including 86 patients with IMN,10 patients with HBV-MN and 10 patients with stage Ⅴ lupus nephritis (LN-Ⅴ).Twenty patients with minimal change disease (MCD) were regarded as control group.We conducted immunohistochemical analysis of the presence of THSD7A and PLA2R the Paraffin section and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detecting serum PLA2R-AB and THSD7A-AB concentration to investigate whether there was a correlation between them and clinical indicators.Results Compared with the SMN and MCD groups,the positive rates of PLA2R and PLA2R-AB were significantly higher in IMN groups.Expression PLA2R was detected in 88.4％,47.4％,10％ and 0％ and PLA2R-AB in 82.6％,15％,10％,0％,respectively,of the patients with IMN,HBV-MN,LN-Ⅴ and MCD.Expression THSD7A was detected in 2.3％ of the patients with IMN while not detected in SMN and MCD.THSD7A-AB antibody was negative in all patients.Compared with serum PLA2R-Ab negative individuals,patients with serum PLA2R-Ab positive had lower serum albumin (P ＜ 0.001),higher urine protein excretion (P=0.01).The sensitivity of PLA2R-AB,PLA2R,THSD7A and PLA2R+THSD7A in the diagnosis of IMN were 82.6％,88.4％,2.3％,88.6％,and the specificity was 92％,66.7％,100％,66.7％,respectively.Conclusions PLA2R in renal tissue and serum PLA2R-AB are specific markers for the diagnosis of IMN,which are closely related with the severity of IMN.Expression of THSD7A is only positive in some of IMN patients with negative PLA2R,which can be used as a supplementary examination of IMN patients with negative PLA2R.

Aim To investigate the effect of Zhizi Baipi soup and its disassembled prescription containing Zhizi on protecting concanavalin (ConA)-induced immuno-logical liver injury in mice and explore the possible protective mechanism.Methods The model of mouse immunological liver injury induced by (ConA,20 mg ·kg -1 )was used to observe the effects of Zhizi Baipi soup and its disassembled prescription containing Zhizi by gavage administration.Results Zhizi Baipi Soup and its disassembled prescription containing Zhizi were able to reduce the level of serum ALT,AST and MDA content,improve liver tissue SOD activity and reduce
the expression of NF-κB-p65 and NF-κB-p-p65,in which all parties of Zhizi Baipi Soup Group had best effect on immunological liver injury in mice.Conclu-sion Zhizi Baipi Soup and its disassembled prescrip-tion containing Zhizi have remarkably protective effect on ConA-induced immunological liver injury in mice, and the potential mechanism may be related to the reg-ulation of the immune response pathway.

Objective To investigate the mouse liver blood vessel images using phase contrast X-ray imaging with synchrotron radiation. Methods 6 female C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups, 3 mice in each group. In one group, livers excised after hgated arteries, veins and common bile duct. In another group, iodine infused via the portal vein and drained from inferior vena cave until all the blood in the portal veins and hepatic veins was displaced. After infusion, arteries, veins and common bile duct were ligated and livers were excised. Results Blood vessel images were clearly produced by diffraction enhanced imaging. This method can discriminate vessels down to about 40 μm in diameter without contrast agent. Using a contrasting agent more details could be produced. In one liver lobe, the entire branch of the portal vein could be clearly produced by one by one phase contrast image from the main axial blood vessels of liver lobe to the nine generation of branching. Conclusions Phase contrast imaging has the advantage of good contrast and high spatial resolution.

Objective To examine self-reported symptoms by the patients receiving cancer therapy, and find out the symptoms that should be coped with and managed during the treatment. Methods A pilot study was conducted on self-reported symptoms on 185 patients receiving chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy for different cancers. The Therapy-Related Symptoms Checklist (TRSC) was used. Results Severe symptoms on the TRSC subscales: loss of appetite,feeling sluggish, weight loss, nausea and hair loss, were reported by the patients. The frequently reported symptoms by those on chemotherapy were nausea, feeling sluggish, weight loss, vomiting, and taste change. The frequently reported symptoms by those on radiotherapy were feeling sluggish, weight loss, loss of appetite, difficult sleeping, and changing taste. The symptoms of loss of appetite, feeling sluggish, weight loss, hair loss, and nausea were both frequently reported by those on radiotherapy and those on chemotherapy. Conclusion Symptom monitoring may be facilitated by TRSC, based on the severity and frequency of reported symptoms, more patients and caregivers could know which symptoms should be preferential interventions.

Objective:To explore the operability of the Chinese version of the All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale (C-AAHLS) and the Brief Health Literacy Screening (BHLS) for assessing the health literacy level of surgical patients.Methods:A total of 202 surgical patients were recruited in an acute care hospital. C-AAHLS and BHLS were used simultaneously to measure the health literacy of patients, and the consistency of their measurement results was compared.Results:The total health literacy scores of 202 surgical patients measured by C-AAHLS and BHLS were respectively (23.16±2.94) and (7.50±3.58), both were at a medium level, and they are consistent in differences in the health literacy levels of different ages, occupations, and educational levels, with statistical significance; the Bland-Altman graph shows that the maximum difference between the measurement results of the two tools is 1.68 <1.824 (average value), the average value of the difference is close to 0, and the results are highly consistent (P < 0.0001).Conclusions:The results of C-AAHLS and BHLS in measuring health literacy are consistent, and clinical medical staff can choose the suitable measurement tool according to the appropriate situation.

Objective To investigate the establishment,operation and performance of external quality assessment(EQA) system for microbial morphology and detection of special drug-resistance in clinical laboratory,and explore the value of the developed system in clinical application.Methods The pictures of known bacteria and fungi colony,gram staining and acid-fast staining from clinical microbiology were distributed to the participating laboratories in Gansu province twice a year at regular intervals.The pictures of standard knowledge points from CLSI,such as special drug resistance were distributed simultaneously.All the participating laboratories were required to complete the interpretation for the pictures and report their resuhs in a scheduled time.Then the resuhs were summarized and analyzed as 3 modes:complete consistency,general consistency and non-consistency.Results During the 2 years when the EQA system for microbial morphology and detection of special drug-resistance were performed for 24 times,the rate of annual complete consistency increased year by year and reached to 91.3％ in 2015.Conclusion The EQA system based on the examinations of microbial morphology and CLSI standard knowledge points for clinical laboratory may supervise the staff of clinical microbiology laboratories in the hospitals at second grade or above to master the skills of morphological identification and learn CLSI knowledge points,so their professional skills of clinical microbiology could be comprehensively improved.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between social and linguistic parenting behaviors and developing capability of children with autism.Methods:From August 2020 to December 2020, the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of 302 parents of children diagnosed with autism were investigated in the outpatient department of the hospital.Meanwhile, the data of Gesell scale for children, the social life competence scale for infant and junior middle school students, the autism behavior checklist and the Cancy autism behavior scale were collected.SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Independent sample t test and analysis of variance were used to compare the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of different parents.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the social and linguistic parenting behaviors of parents and children's developmental ability and symptom severity. Results:There were no statistically significant differences in children's social and language development parenting behavior between father and mother ( t=1.033, P=0.303; t=-0.312, P=0.756). There were no statistically significant differences in children's social and linguistic parenting behaviors between fathers of different age groups ( F=1.425, P=0.244; F=1.127, P=0.345). Among mothers of different age groups, the social parenting behaviors of <30 years old and 30-34 years old groups were significantly better than those of 35-39 years old group ( F=3.374, P=0.019; LSD: P=0.010, P=0.006). Among fathers, the social parenting behavior( F=4.346, P=0.008; LSD: P=0.020, P=0.001) and social + linguistic parenting behavior in the graduate group and college group were significantly better than those in the high school/vocational group( F=3.965, P=0.012; LSD: P=0.020, P=0.002). Among mothers, the social parenting behavior ( F=2.812, P=0.040; LSD: P=0.008, P=0.023, P=0.009), linguistic parenting behavior ( F=3.769, P=0.011; LSD: P=0.010, P=0.025, P=0.001), social + linguistic parenting behavior ( F=3.654, P=0.013; LSD: P=0.005, P=0.015, P=0.002) in graduate and above groups were significantly better than those in college group, high school/vocational group, junior high school and below groups.The scores of social parenting behavior(40.72±6.80), linguistic parenting behavior(27.20±5.22), and social + linguistic parenting behavior(67.92±11.10) were significantly correlated with children’s fine motor(61.75±16.41)( r=0.193, P=0.001; r=0.153, P=0.009; r=0.190, P=0.001), cognition(68.28±16.83)( r=0.231, P=0.000; r=0.186, P=0.001; r=0.229, P=0.000), language(53.01±18.55) ( r=0.262, P=0.000; r=0.305, P=0.000; r=0.304, P=0.000) and social self-care(61.44±17.85) ( r=0.264, P=0.000; r=0.238, P=0.000; r=0.274, P=0.000). The scores of linguistic parenting behavior and social + linguistic parenting behavior were correlated with children's social life ability (8.65±0.89) ( r=0.142, P=0.046; r=0.140, P=0.049). There was no significant correlation between social parenting behavior, linguistic parenting behavior, social + linguistic parenting behavior and the scores of ABC scale (50.53±21.39) ( r=-0.089, P=0.336; r=-0.115, P=0.215; r=-0.107, P=0.250) and CABS scale (13.96±4.54) ( r=-0.050, P=0.490; r=-0.059, P=0.411; r=-0.058, P=0.421). Conclusions:The social and linguistic parenting behaviors are related to their age and educational level, and are significantly correlated to developing capability of children with autism, but have nothing to do with the severity of children's symptoms.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathogenesis of gastric cancer through a bioinformatic approach to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of gastric cancer. METHODS: The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in gastric cancer and normal gastric mucosa in GSE79973 dataset were analyzed using GEO2R online tool. GO analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the DEGs in DAVID database were performed. The protein interaction network was constructed using STRING database, and the key genes (Hub genes) were screened and their functional modules were analyzed using Cytoscape software. The GEPIA database was used to validate the Hub genes, and the Target Scan database was used to predict the microRNAs that regulate the target genes; OncomiR was used to analyze the expressions of the microRNAs in gastric cancer tissues and their relationship with the survival outcomes of the patients. RESULTS: A total of 181 DEGs were identified in gastric cancer, and 10 hub genes were screened by the protein- protein interaction network. Functional analysis showed that these DEGs were involved mainly in protein digestion and absorption, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, ECM-receptor interaction and platelet activation signal pathway. GEPIA database validation showed that COL1A1 was highly expressed in gastric cancer tissues and was associated with a poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. MiR-129-5p was found to bind to the 3'UTR of COL1A1 mRNA, and compared with that in normal tissues, miR-129-5p expression was obviously down-regulated in gastric cancer tissues, and was correlated with the prognosis of the patients. CONCLUSIONS COL1A1 under regulation by MiR-129-5p is a potential therapeutic target for gastric cancer.
