Fibrinogen (Fib) is one of the most common coagulation proteins,plays an important role in the coagulation cascade,and has a closed relationship with tumor.Studies indicate that the level of Fib has elevated in many kinds of cancer,and Fib is also closely correlated with the progression,metastasis and prognosis of tumor.Though the mechanism of the interaction of Fib and tumor is still unclear,Fib as a tumor marker and new therapy for these malignancies has been a new hotspot.

Objective:To investigate the association between the parameters of thin-section computed tomography and the invasion and histological subtypes of subsolid nodules measuring 1-2 centimeters in diameter as lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the cases with subsolid nodules measuring 1-2 centimeters on thin-section computed tomography and histologically confirmed as lung adenocarcinoma.Results:A total of 135 patients were enrolled in this study, including 23 with pure ground glass nodules and 112 with part-solid ground glass nodule. We observed significant differences of nodule size, solid component size, consolidation-to-tumor ratio, nodule attenuation and attenuation ratio( P<0.0001). The receiver operating curve indicated certain predictive value of solid component size, nodule attenuation and attenuation ratio: AUC were 0.838(0.756-0.919)、0.823(0.729-0.917) and 0.820(0.726-0.914), respectively. Of the invasive adenocarcinoma, those with solid or micropapillary components merely showed a significance in solid component size( P=0.024). Conclusion:The parameters of thin-section computed tomography of 1-2 centimeters subsolid nodules showed significant differences in varied invasiveness of lung adenocarcinoma, and these could have certain predictive value.

Objective This study aims to explore the formation of the dilemma of"giving care"for disabled elderly people in nursing homes from the perspective of active health.Methods Purposive sampling was used to select caregivers and disabled elderly people from a nursing home in Chongqing as research subjects from July 2022 to December 2022.One-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted and Colaizzi's 7-step thematic analysis method was employed to collect and analyze the interview data.Results 4 themes were identified:①the dominance of the"giving"care concept,including the cultural thoughts of filial piety,passive acceptance of care characteristics and consumer psychology regarding paid services;②insufficient"participation"care ability,including lack of knowledge regarding active health and a weakening of skills to promote participation;③the hindrance to"transformation"of care models,including objective limitations in terms of human resources and delays in adapting aging environments;and ④the decline in"utilization"of internal abilities,including excessive avoidance of potential risks,a heavy workload of care and poor quality of individual care.Conclusion The formation of the dilemma of"giving care"for disabled elderly people in nursing homes is affected by multiple factors such as social background,service system,supply resources,and management mode.Transforming disabled elderly individuals from a state of"passive giving care"to"active participation in their health"is an important measure to realize the concept of positive aging and healthy aging.

OBJECTIVE To separate and identify the chemical constituents of the n-butanol fraction from the stems of Clerodendrum trichotomum ,and to investigate their antitumor activities in vitro . METHODS The ethanol extracts were obtained with 85% ethanol from dried stems of C. trichotomum. After dispersed with water ,ethanol extracts were distributed by petroleum ether,ethyl acetate and n-butanol in turn ,then concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the fractions of each extraction part . The n-butanol fraction from the stems of C. trichotomum was isolated and purified by macroporous resin D 101 column chromatography and various chromatographic techniques including silica gel ,hydroxypropyl glucan gel and Toyopearl HW -40F macroporous resin and so on . The structures of them were identified by physical and chemical properties ,MS and NMR . All these compounds were evaluated for cytotoxic activities against 4 kinds of human tumor cells such as cultured K 562,MCF-7,A549 and HepG2,using the MTT assay . RESULTS Fourteen chemical constituents were isolated and identified as teuvincenone B (1), uncinatone(2),villosin C (3),syringaresinol(4),syringaresinol-4ʹ-O-β-glucopyranoside(5),3,12-O-β-D-diglucopyranosyl-11,16- dihydroxyabieta-8,11,13-triene(6),glypentoside C (7),martynoside(8),isomartynoside(9),2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol-O-β-D- glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-O- β -D-glucopyranoside(10),3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-1-O- β -D-apiofuranosyl (1→2) - β -D- glucopyranoside(11), 2,6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-1-O- β -D- glucopyranoside(12),adenosine(13)and cistanoside F (14). In vitro anti-tumor activity studies showed that compounds 1-3 showed certa in inhibitory activities against tumor cellproliferation,among which compound 2 displayed the strongest inhibitory activity against MCF -7,A549 and HepG 2 cells,and their IC 50 values were 25.00,22.34 and 12.50 μmol/L respectively ;only compound 3 showed stronger inhibitory activity against K562 cell with IC 50 of 28.41 μmol/L. CONCLUSIONS Among them ,compounds 10 to 13 are isolated from genus Clerodendrum for the first time ,compounds 4,5,14 were isolated from C. trichotomum for the first time . The abietane diterpenoids (compounds 1-3)have better inhibitory activities against above four tumor cell lines .
