The fibroblasts have long been considered as structural elements and playing a main role in wound healing. Recent studies indicated that fibroblasts are heterogenic cells and function as resident sentinel cells in inflammatory reaction. When activated by substances released during tissue injury or derived from infectious microorganisms or by proinflammatory cytokines, tissuespecific fibroblasts can transiently produce certain chemokines and initiate a cascade of inflammatory reaction. In addition fibroblasts can produce prostanoids that participate in inflammatory and immune responses. In this review, the new role of fibroblasts in regulation of inflammation and immune reactions and possible molecular mechanism will be discuss.

Oceanic carbon monoxide(CO) has been of biogeochemical interest due to its significant role in global carbon cycle and the greenhouse effect. A headspace method coupled with ta3000 trace gas analyzer system for the determination of CO in seawater was developed. The effects of temperature, equilibrium time and water/gas volume ratio on the sensitivity of headspace analysis were studied in detail. The results showed that CO concentrations in seawater were measured successfully by the 50-mL glass-only syringes with a water/gas volume ratio of 44∶ 6 and an equilibrium time of 5 min at 20 ℃ room temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range of concentrations of CO was 0-2.7×10~(-6), r=0.999,p<0.0001. The relative standard deviation of the analysis method was <4.4%, with a detection limit of 0.02 nmol/L. The average recovery of CO was 90.5%. The concentrations of CO in surface waters of the North Yellow Sea were measured using this method and ranged from 0.20 nmol/L to 3.13 nmol/L, indicating that this method can be successfully applied to the detection of the in situ CO concentrations in seawater.

Objective To explore the relationship among psychological resilience, self-efficacy and core competence in psychiatric nurses. Methods Totally 237 psychiatric nurses in a psychiatric hospital in Shandong province were recruited and assessed with general information questionnaire, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale and Competency Inventory for Registered Nurse. Results The total core competence of psychiatric nurses was (2.59 ± 0.66) points, at a moderate level. Psychological resilience were positively corrected with self- efficacy (r=0.454,P=0.000) and core competence (r=0.647, P=0.000), self-efficacy were positively corrected with core competence (r=0.487, P=0.000). Psychological resilience partially mediate the relationship between self- efficacy and core competence, It′s mediating effect was 44.8%. Conclusions Psychological resilience plays an important role to core competence in psychiatric nurses.Nursing managers should carry out related training, improve the psychological resilience and self-efficacy of psychiatric nurses, and comprehensively improve the level of core competencies.

Objective To examine the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (hypoxia-inducible factor 1α,HIF-1α),tumor cell proliferation antigen Ki67 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in breast cancer tissues,adjacent tissues and normal breast tissues.Methods Immunohistochemistry HRP method was used to detect the expression of HIF-1α,Ki67 and VEGF in 70 cases of breast cancer tissues and their adjacent tissues and 10 cases of normal breast tissues.Difference of the positive rate was assessed viax2 test,and the correlation between the 3 were analyzed in a disorderly classified manner.Results The positive expression rate of HIF-1α,Ki67 and VEGF in 70 cases of breast cancer tissues was 78.6％ (55/70),88.6％ (62/70) and 65.7％ (46/70) respectively,significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal breast tissues (P ＜ 0.01).The positive expression rate of HIF-1 α,Ki67 and VEGF was closely related with clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and histological grade (P ＜0.05).The expression intensity of HIF-1α was positively correlated with Ki67 and VEGF in breast cancer (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Detection of HIF-1 α,Ki67,VEGF may be an important indicator to predict the development,invasion,metastasis and prognosis of breast cancer.Tissue hypoxia may promote the proliferation of breast cancer cell and angiogenesis.A presumption is that HIF-1αmay be a new t()get of breast cancer,thus it deserves further study.

Objective To compare 2 mini-invasive surgical treatments,Achillon versus sponge forceps,for acute Achilles tendon rupture.Methods Between December 2010 and January 2015,35 patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were treated at our department.They were 32 males and 3 females,with an average age of 36.4 years (range,21 to 64 years).The interval between injury and operation was 1 to 13 days (average,3.2 days).Sixteen of them were treated by Achillon while 19 by sponge forceps.The 2 groups were compatible with no significant differences in general clinical data (P ＞ 0.05).Rehabilitation was carried out 4 weeks after immobilization with brace.American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scoring system was used to evaluate the function of the affected foot at the last follow-up.The 2 groups were compared in terms of surgery time,hospital stay,AOFAS score,decrease in leg circumference,complications and rerupture rate.Results All the patients were followed up for an average of 9.6 months (from 6 to 19 months).There were no significant differences between the Achillon and sponge forceps groups regarding average AOFAS score (91.8 ± 4.4 versus 93.2 ± 5.8),surgery time (38.3 ± 13.2 min versus 42.5 ± 9.8 min),hospital stay (3.9 ± 1.5 d versus 4.1 ± 1.6 d),or decrease in leg circumference (2.1 ±0.5 cm versus 2.3 ± 0.3 cm) (P ＞ 0.05).No re-ruptures or sural nerve lesion was observed in either group.One case of delayed wound healing occurred in each group.Conclusions Both Achillon and sponge forceps can lead to limited complications and a very low rate of re-rupture in surgical treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture.Compared with the Achillon technique,sponge forceps may have the advantages of simplicity and lower cost.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of full-length spleen tyrosine kinase [SYK (L)] mRNA and protein in human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as well as its possible effects on the invasion and metastasis of OSCC.

METHODSThe expression of SYK (L) was detected in 27 cases of OSCC tissues and its matched adjacent non-cancerous tissues by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Fourteen cases of normal oral gingival tissues were also analyzed as a normal control.

RESULTSReduced mRNA and protein expression of SYK (L) in OSCC tissues was observed compared with that in normal oral gingival tissues (P<0.01) and adjacent non-cancerous tissues (P<0.05). SYK(L) expression was significantly associated with lymph-node metastasis (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSYK(L) is a candidate tumor suppressor for OSCC tissues, and has an inhibitive effect on the initiation, proliferation, and lymph-node metastasis of human OSCC.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics and trends of malaria cases in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province from 2012 to 2023, so as to provide a basis for improving malaria prevention and control measures. Methods: Case data of malaria in Lishui City from 2012 to 2023 were collected from the Parasitic Disease Control Information Management System of the National Information System for Disease Control and Prevention in China. The parasite species, source of infection, temporal distribution, population distribution, geographical distribution, and clinical diagnosis and treatment of the cases were descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 169 malaria cases were reported in Lishui City from 2012 to 2023, and P. falciparum malaria was the main type, accounting for 79.88% (135 cases). The positive rate of Plasmodium detection was 3.30‰(169/51 212), the highest was 5.41‰ (18/3 327) in 2017, and the lowest was 0.38‰ (1/2 632) in 2021. Malaria cases were reported in every month from 2012 to 2023, with 91 cases (53.85%) reported from May to October. There were 168 imported cases, of which 163 (96.45%) originated from Africa. There were 127 male cases (75.15%), and the majority of cases were aged 20 to 49 years, with 138 cases accounting for 81.65%. The majority of the occupation was overseas labor export workers, with 164 cases accounting for 97.04%. A total of 161 cases (95.27%) were registered residents of Lishui City, and cases were reported from all nine counties (cities, districts), with Qingtian County and Liandu District having the higher numbers of 98 and 41 cases, respectively. The median interval from onset to hospital visit for malaria cases was 2.00 (interquartile range, 4.00) days, and the median interval from hospital visit to diagnosis was 0 (interquartile range, 1.00) day. The diagnostic rate of first-diagnosed malaria cases in municipal and county medical institutions was 95.90% (117/122) and 91.49% (43/47), respectively, with no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusions The P. falciparum malaria was the predominant type in Lishui City from 2012 to 2023, with the majority of cases being imported. Male overseas labor export personnel aged 20 to <50 were the key demographic.

Doxorubicin (Dox) is widely used to the treatment of cancer, however, it could cause damage to gastric mucosa. To investigate the protective effects and related mechanisms of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and vitamin C (VC) on Dox-induced gastric mucosal injury, we presented the survey of the 4 groups of the rats with different conditions. The results showed Dox treatment significantly induced GES-1 apoptosis, but preconditioning in GES-1 cells with VC or CoQ10 significantly inhibited the Dox-induced decrease and other harm effects, including the expression and of IκKβ, IκBα, NF-κB/p65 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) in GES-1 cells. Moreover, high-throughput sequencing results showed Dox treatment increased the number of harmful gut microbes, and CoQ10 and VC treatment inhibited this effect. CoQ10 and VC treatment inhibits Dox-induced gastric mucosal injury by inhibiting the activation of the IkKB/IκBα/NF-κB/p65/TNF-α pathway, promoting anti-inflammatory effects of gastric tissue and regulating the composition of the intestinal flora.
