Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2017;33(21):1646-1649
Objective To explore the impact of social support and perceived stigma on depression for people living with HIV/AIDS. Methods A total of 114 patients recruited into our study. Date were collected by Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Social Supporting Rating Scale (SRSS) and Berger HIV Stigma Scale (BHSS) for patients. Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) version 7.0 software was used to conduct the path analysis. Results The total score of patients′depression, SRSS and BHSS were (52.22± 10.28), (29.09±5.98), (109.02±14.59) points, and there was correlation between the three (r=0.425-0.676, P<0.05). Social support revealed direct effects on depression and affected depression indirectly via BHSS.The paths′ total coefficients was-0.47. BHSS as intermediary variable between social support and depression, the paths′ total coefficients was 0.64. Conclusions The level of depression, SRSS and BHSS were not fine for HIV/AIDS. Depression are directly affected by SRSS and BHSS, BHSS has a greater moderating effect on these relationships. Interventions developed on the basis of influencing factors of depression should be applied to improve patients′depression status.

Objective: To evaluate the application of two-dimension and color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of fascial space infection in maxillofacial region. Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on 87 cases of maxillofacial space infections, among which there were 6 suspected cases of accompanying tumor.Results: In the 87 cases, 53 had abscess formation, confirmed by operative drainage or puncture biopsy. The pathological studies revealed 2 cases of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and 1 case of branchial cleft cyst accompanied with infection. The 3 cases showed characteristic appearance in ultrasonic imaging. The space infection presented stronger echogenicity than that in tumors. In this study, 95% (83/87) cases showed grey or medium echogenic dots, while 4.5% (4/87) cases did not show obvious echogenic dots due to a large amount of abscess, and 2 cases of tumors, however, did not show any echogenic dots. In addition, 87% (76/87) cases had few blood flow in the lesion areas, and 22% (2/87) cases had much blood flow in the lesion areas. All cases showed that the lesion areas and the blood flow reduced obviously with enhanced echo following anti-inflammatory treatment except 2 cases accompanied with tumor without obvious changes in lesion areas and blood flow.Conclusion: The ultrasonic diagnosis with two dimension and color Doppler ultrasound has high accuracy in diagnosis of maxillofacial space infection, with accordance rate up to 96.6%, much higer than CT/MRI. It is suggested that the two dimension and color Doppler ultrasound can be used as a prior choice of diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the experience and needs of caregivers of patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantion (HSCT) , in order to provide the basis for targeted intervention. Methods Using qualitative phenomenological research methods, semi- structured interviews of 10 caregivers of HSCT patients were conducted, then the data were summarized and analyzed. Results Four themes were extracted: heavy caregiving burden, adaptation to the caregiving role, professional support needs, humanistic care needs. Conclusions The medical staff should strengthen the health education on HSCT caregivers to improve their ability and their own health concerns, alleviate their psychological pressure, and mobilize social forces to reduce the burden of care.

Objective To investigate galectin3 on proliferation and migration of esophageal cancer Eca109 cells.Methods A lentiviral vector for over-expression of RNA targeting galectin3 was designed to transfect Eca109 cancer cells following plasmid-mediated transfection manual (Eca109/Gal3 cells).Inverted fluorescence microscope was used to observe the expression of EGFP.The proliferation of Eca109 cells was measured by cell counting Kit-8 assay.Eca109 cells apoptosis was determined by Annexin-V/7-AAD doublestaining.The migration capacity of Eca109 cells was determined in transwell assays.Western blot analysis was used to measure the expression of galectin3 protein.Results Galectin-3 expression was detected in Eca109 cells,with the Galectin3 expression in Eca109/Gal3 cells much more than non-transfected cells (t =14.33,P < 0.05 ; t =10.28,P =0.037).Compared with non-transfected Eca109 cells,proliferation increased significantly in Eca109/Gal3 cells (t =-17.277,P < 0.05 ; t =-13.4,P < 0.05).Galectin3 evidently decreased in Eca109 cell apoptosis (t =3.053,P < 0.05 ; t =5.446,P < 0.05).Transwell migration assay showed that a greater number of Eca109/Gal3 cells crossed the artificial basement membrane compared with non-transfected Eca109 cells and negative control Eca109 cells (t =3.465,P < 0.05; t =3.252,P < 0.05).Conclusion Galectin3 expression is detected in transfected esophageal cancer Eca109 cells,whose overexpression can result in enhanced proliferation,migration,invasion as well as reduced apoptosis.These data indicate that in-depth research of galectin-3 may prove to be a potential molecular target for the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Treatment with the combination of Chinese herbs and cytotoxic chemotherapies showed a higher survival rate in clinical trials. In this report, the results demonstrated that the tanshinone II A, a key component of Salvia miltiorrhiza bunge, when it is combined with the cytotoxic drug cisplatin showed synergistic antitumor effects on human prostate cancer PC3 cells and LNCaP cells in vitro. Antiproliferative effects were detected with MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometer. Protein expression was detected by Western blotting. The intracellular concentration of cisplatin was detected by high performance liquid chromatography. The results demonstrated that tanshinone II A significantly enhanced the antiproliferative effects of cisplatin on human prostate cancer PC3 cells and LNCaP cells with the increase of the intracellular concentration of cisplatin. These effects were correlated with cell cycle arrested at S phase and cell apoptosis. The apoptosis might be achieved through death receptor pathway and mitochondrial pathway. Furthermore, the Bcl-2 family members were also involved in this apoptotic process. Collectively, these results indicated that the combination of tanshinone II A and cisplatin had a better treatment effect in vitro not only on androgen-dependent LNCaP cells but also on androgen-independent PC3 cells.

This study is to investigate the antitumor activity of ophiopogonin B (OP-B). MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis, acridine orange staining, Lyso-Tracker Red staining and HeLa-GFP-LC3 transfect cells assay were used to detect the proliferation activity, apoptosis and autophagy of HeLa cells. The results showed that OP-B exerted potent antiproliferative activity on HeLa cells, the cell growth inhibition effect of OP-B was not due to apoptosis and OP-B could induce autophagy of HeLa cells. OP-B also induced the protein expression up-regulation of Beclin-1 and promoted LC3 I transformation LC3 II, which were representative proteins of autophagy. Furthermore, 3-MA, an inhibitor of autophagy, not only inhibited OP-B-mediated autophagy but also almost completely reversed the antiproliferative effect of OP-B, suggesting that the growth inhibition effect of OP-B was autophagy dependent. Western blotting demonstrated that OP-B inhibited the phosphorylation of Akt and its' downstream vital protein, such as mTOR and p70S6K. In addition, OP-B also induced the protein expression up-regulation of PTEN, which is a negative regulation protein for Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. However, OP-B did not affect the protein expression of total Akt. Collectively, the antitumor effects of OP-B were autophagy-dependent via repression Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. Therefore, OP-B is a prospective inhibitor of Akt/mTOR and may be used as an alternative compound to treat cervical carcinoma.
