Objective To explore the correlation between humanistic care ability of nursing students and their family environmental factors. Methods A sample of 198 nursing students was recruited with cluster sampling method. Demographic data, humanistic caring capacity, and family environmental factors were collected using a self-designed questionnaire, Caring Ability- Inventory (CAI) and Family Environment Scale (FES- CV) and then an analysis was conducted. Results Han nationality students accounted for 32.83%(65/198), minority students accounted for 67.17%(133/198) . The total average score of humanistic care ability was 190.79±18.84, the average score of items was 5.16±0.99. There were significant differences between our participants and those regarded as international norms on the three dimensions of humanistic care ability (t=-16.27--8.12, P < 0.01). The total average score of family environment was 42.57±8.88. Significant differences were also presented between our participants and those of domestic norms on the ten factors of the family environment (t=-10.94-30.04, P < 0.01). The significant correlation was not documented between the total scores of humanistic care ability and family environment. However, the correlations were documented between the six domains of family environment (intimacy, emotional expression, knowledge, entertainment, contradiction, sense of organization) and the total score and each dimension of humanistic caring capacity (P < 0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions The humanistic care ability of nursing students in minority area is relatively low. The humanistic care ability and family environment are correlated on the multi- dimen-sional facets. School educational strategies should be combined with family environment factors of nursing students to jointly promote the humanistic care ability of nursing students.

To identity the pathogen that causes the mosaic and yellowing symptoms on Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz in Jiangxian, Shanxi province, biological inoculation, sequence-independent amplification (SIA),RT-PCR and other identification methods were used. The results showed that the chlorotic and necrosis symptoms occurred in the indicator plant Chenopodium quinoa after it was infected with the pathogen,and the same symptoms appeared after the reinoculation of healthy Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz; this reflected that the disease was likely to be caused by a virus. The results of SIA and sequencing showed that Broad bean wilt virus 2 (BBWV2) was present in severely mosaic Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz leaves. To further characterize the BBWV2 isolate from Atractylodes macrocephala (BBWV2-Am), the polyprotein partial gene encoded by BBWV2-Am RNA2 was cloned and sequenced. Sequence alignments showed that the nucleotide sequence identity of BBWV2-Am SCP and LCP genes ranged from 79.3% to 87.2% and from 80.1% to 89.2% compared to other BBWV2 strains,respectively; the deduced amino acid sequence similarities of the two gene products ranged from 91.2% to 95.7% and from 89.44 to 95.5%, respectively,compared to those of other BBWV2 strains. Phylogenetic comparisons showed that BBWV2-Am was most likely to be related to BBWV2-Rg,but formed an independent branch. This is the first report of BBWV2 in Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz.

The interaction between breast cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment plays a vital role in the occurrence and development of breast cancer. Cancer-associated fibroblasts are heterogeneous stromal cells that are abundant in the tumor microenvironment. They participate in tumor angiogenesis, treatment resistance and distant metastasis by secreting a variety of cytokines, growth factors and chemokines. It has great potential as a biomarker for targeted therapy and clinical prognosis of breast cancer, and it can also provide new ideas for adjuvant treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the factors associated with the occurrence of coccoid forms in clinical isolates of Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori) and its relationship with the pathological changes of gastric mucosa. Methods:A total of 66 H. pylori-infected patients admitted to People′s Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from January 2020 to June 2021 were included.The clinical data of the patients were collected. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on gastric mucosal biopsy specimen to observe the occurrence of coccoid forms of H. pylori and pathological changes of gastric mucosa. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:After immunohistochemical staining of 66 gastric mucosa biopsy specimens from H. pylori-infected patients, the co-existence of helical and coccoid forms of H. pylori was found in 26(39.39%) specimens, and no simple coccoid H. pylori change was found. Among them, the patients with a history of eradication therapy had a coccoid forms rate of 52.63%(20/38), and those without a history of eradication therapy had a coccoid forms rate of 21.43%(6/28), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.57, P=0.012). There were no significant differences in the coccoid forms rates between patients with different gender, ethnicity, age and gastric mucosal pathological changes (including atrophy, gastric intestinal metaplasia, inflammation, activity)(all P>0.050). Seventeen (73.9%) of the 23 patients whose endoscopy was more than one to three months from the last eradication therapy developed coccoid forms, while three of 15 patients whose endoscopy was more than three months from the last eradication therapy had coccoid forms, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=10.59, P=0.002). Conclusions:The transformation of H. pylori coccoid forms is related to the previous eradication therapy. The coccoid forms of H. pylori is equally pathogenic relative to the helical forms of H. pylori.
