Objective To investigate the effect of bedside comprehensive ability training and critical thinking on the improvement of the personality maturity of pediatric nurses. Methods A total of 102 nurses with pediatric working years within one year were selected,and then they were arranged to receive critical thinking in combination with bedside comprehensive ability training for 6 months. After the training, pediatric nurses′ critical thinking ability, bedside comprehensive ability and personality maturity were evaluated. Results Before training, the total score of Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) , total score of bedside comprehensive ability, personality maturity score were 288.21±25.44, 75.24±2.51, 84.01±32.26, after training, they were respectively 324.18±25.93, 92.65±3.17, 125.57±35.47. Comparison of the scores before training and after training showed statistically significant difference(t=7.071, 30.750, 6.190,P < 0.05 or 0.01). Setting personality maturity as the dependent variable, and and CTDI-CV and bedside comprehensive ability as the independent variables, regression analysis showed that CTDI-CV and bedside comprehensive ability had a positive impact on the personality maturity. Conclusions The ability of pediatric nurses' critical thinking ability and bedside comprehensive ability training can promote the improvement of personality maturity of pediatric nurses.

Journal of Clinical Medicine in Practice 2024;28(14):18-23
Objective To explore the potential mechanism of recombinant ficolin 3(FCN3)in regulating non-small cell lung cancer cell line A549.Methods Bioinformatics analysis of FCN3 was performed using online software,and its overexpression vector and siRNA interference system were constructed.CCK8 assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of overexpression and knockdown of FCN3 on the proliferation and apoptosis of A549 cells.Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the influence of FCN3 on the expression of lung adenocar-cinoma-related genes[Chromobox Homolog 5(CBX3),Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor 3(CDKN3)and Baculoviral IAP Repeat-Containing Protein 5(BIRC5)].Results After overexpres-sion of FCN3,the apoptosis level of A549 cells increased,and the proliferation level decreased(P<0.05).After knockdown of FCN3,the apoptosis level of A549 cells decreased,and the proliferation level increased(P<0.05).Overexpression of FCN3 inhibited the expression of CBX3,CDKN3 as well as BIRC5 mRNA,and promoted the expression of FABP4 mRNA;knockdown of FCN3 promoted the expression of CBX3,CDKN3 as well as BIRC5 mRNA,and inhibited the expression of FABP4 mRNA.Conclusion FCN3 can inhibit the proliferation of A549 cells and promote their apoptosis.FCN3 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer.
