Purpose: The incidence rate of breast cancer (BC) has increased annually. Downstream neighbor of son (DONSON) critically affects cell cycle progression and maintains stable genomic properties; however, its relevant effects on BC growth and progression require indepth investigation. Methods: DONSON upregulation was validated in public databases. DONSON expression in matched BC and adjacent tissues and cell lines (MDA-MB-231, BT-549, and HS-578T) was determined using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In vitro apoptosis, invasion, migration, and proliferation tests were performed to ascertain the functions of DONSON in BC cell lines. Then, using western blot analysis, the levels of DONSON downstream proteins were determined. Results: Compared to the control, DONSON was expressed at higher levels in BC tissues and cell lines. DONSON knockdown facilitated apoptosis and limited proliferation, migration, invasion, and S/G2 transition of BC cells In vitro. Furthermore, DONSON overexpression promoted BC cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis In vitro. Moreover, DONSON knockdown reduced cyclin A1 and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 levels. Moreover, DONSON knockdown limited the progression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Conclusion DONSON critically affects BC growth and serves as a possible target and marker for the efficacy of subsequent therapies.

Objective:To explore the status and influencing factors of positive feelings of caregivers of patients with enterostomy, so as to provide a reference for targeted interventions.Methods:From May to October 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 130 caregivers of patients with enterostomy who received follow-up visits in the Stoma Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University as the research subject. The survey was carried out using the General Information Questionnaire, the Positive Aspects of Caregiving (PAC) , and the Care Preparedness Scale (CPS) . A total of 130 questionnaires were distributed, and 127 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 97.69%.Results:Among 127 caregivers of patients with enterostomy, the total score of PAC was (32.69±4.99) , and the self-affirmation dimension score was (18.39±2.84) , and the life outlook dimension score was (14.36±2.53) , and the total score of CPS was (17.76±4.36) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that caregiver gender, education level, work status, and readiness were the influencing factors of positive feelings of caregivers of patients with enterostomy ( P<0.05) , which explained 43.7% of the total variance. Conclusions:The positive perception of caregivers of patients with enterostomy is at an upper-middle level. Nurses should formulate targeted humanistic care strategies according to the influencing factors, increase the positive feelings of caregivers, help patients adapt to the stoma as soon as possible, and then improve the quality of life of patients.
