Objective:Investigating the content and signing status of the informed consent form for surgery,as well as the signing status of the power of attorney to understand the current implementation of informed consent for surgery in medical institutions.Methods:A stratified random sampling method was used to investigate the signing status of surgical consent and power of attorney on 276 surgical records from a tertiary A hospital in the first half year of 2022.Results:The signatures of both patients and doctors were relatively complete.The medical teams had provided sufficient information to patients regarding the main preoperative diagnosis,surgical name,possible complications during or after the surgery,and surgical risks.However,there was inadequate information on the patient's own high-risk factors,as well as alternative treatment plans and their advantages and disadvantages.The signing of surgical consent and power of attorney signed by non-patients was not standardized.Conclusion:The implementation of informed consent for surgery in medical institutions is relatively good,but there are still some shortcomings.Medical institutions can ensure the implementation of informed consent by strengthening legal and regulatory training,clarifying the scope of authorization,strengthening the surgeon's notification and signing,as well as implementing supervision and inspection,so as to protect the unity of rights and obligations of doctors and patients,effectively avoid medical risks,and promote the construction of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship.

The development of medical research is completed by the cooperation of sponsors, investigators, subjects, and ethics committees. Clinically, it mainly includes clinical trials of medical devices, clinical medicine and new technology research. This paper analyzed the game and the relationship between rights, responsibilities and interests of relevant parties in medical research, combined with the relevant costs and sharing principles involved in medical research, and found that the use of the word "free" in the informed consent is easy to cause misunderstanding and the lack of relevant compensation costs in the informed consent, while the compensation and insurance costs had some problems, such as the imperfect subject compensation mechanism and the insufficient insurance purchase by the sponsor, which can not protect the basic rights and interests of the subjects. Therefore, in order to standardize the cost management of clinical medical research, it is necessary to standardize the process and content of informed consent, strengthen the supervision of medical research process, establish medical research damage compensation fund and research damage insurance system, so as to better protect the rights and interests of subjects.

Chemotherapy is an important adjuvant treatment of glioma, while the efficacy is far from satisfactory, due not only to the biological barriers of blood‒brain barrier (BBB) and blood‒tumor barrier (BTB) but also to the intrinsic resistance of glioma cells via multiple survival mechanisms such as up-regulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). To address these limitations, we report a bacteria-based drug delivery strategy for BBB/BTB transportation, glioma targeting, and chemo-sensitization. Bacteria selectively colonized into hypoxic tumor region and modulated tumor microenvironment, including macrophages repolarization and neutrophils infiltration. Specifically, tumor migration of neutrophils was employed as hitchhiking delivery of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs/DOX). By virtue of the surface pathogen-associated molecular patterns derived from native bacteria, OMVs/DOX could be selectively recognized by neutrophils, thus facilitating glioma targeted delivery of drug with significantly enhanced tumor accumulation by 18-fold as compared to the classical passive targeting effect. Moreover, the P-gp expression on tumor cells was silenced by bacteria type III secretion effector to sensitize the efficacy of DOX, resulting in complete tumor eradication with 100% survival of all treated mice. In addition, the colonized bacteria were finally cleared by anti-bacterial activity of DOX to minimize the potential infection risk, and cardiotoxicity of DOX was also avoided, achieving excellent compatibility. This work provides an efficient trans-BBB/BTB drug delivery strategy via cell hitchhiking for enhanced glioma therapy.

Objectives:To verify the reliability and validity of the frailty assessment scale for elderly patients with inguinal hernia and to evaluate the value of its clinical application.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to collect 129 geriatric patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery from January 2018 to January 2023 in nine hospitals in Liaoning Province. There were 120 males and 9 females, of whom 89 patients were 60 to <75 years old, 33 patients were 75 to <85 years old and 7 patients were ≥85 years old. The 129 patients included 11 elderly patients with inguinal hernia who had recovered from preoperative infection with COVID-19. Statistical methods such as Cronbach′s coefficient, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test, Bartlett′s test, Pearson′s correlation analysis, etc. were calculated to verify the reliability indexes such as feasibility, content validity, structural validity, criterion-related validity, internal consistency reliability, and re-test reliability. Taking the 5-item modified frailty index (5-mFI) as the gold standard, the area under the curve was used to analyze the ability of the two scales to predict the occurrence of postoperative acute urinary retention, postoperative delirium, poor incision healing, operative hematoma seroma, and postoperative complications.Results:The frailty assessment scale for elderly patients with inguinal hernia showed good reliability and validity (valid completion rate of 99.2%; item content validity index of 1.000, and the scale content validity index of 1.000; exploratory factor analysis extracted a total of 1 principal component, and factor loadings of each item of 0.565 to 0.873; the AUC for frailty diagnosis using 5-mFI as the gold standard of 0.795 ( P<0.01) Cronbach′s coefficient of 0.916, retest reliability coefficient of 0.926), it could effectively predict postoperative acute urinary retention, delirium, hematoma seroma in the operative area and total complications (AUC of 0.746, 0.870, 0.806, and 0.738, respectively; all P<0.05), and prediction efficiency was higher than that of 5-mFI (AUC of 0.694, 0.838, 0.626 and 0.641, P<0.05 for delirium only), but both scales were inaccurate in predicting poor incision healing (AUC of 0.519, P=0.913 for the frailty assessment scale and 0.455, P=0.791 for the 5-mFI). Conclusions:The frailty assessment scale for elderly patients with inguinal hernia is reliable and significantly predicts the occurrence of postoperative adverse events in elderly inguinal hernia patients. The scale can also be used for preoperative frailty assessment in elderly patients with inguinal hernia after rehabilitation from COVID-19 infection.

So as to better regulate the behavior of medical researchers in human experimental research and protect the rights and interests of research participants.

【Objective:】 To investigate the cognition, attitude and influencing factors of hospice care among high school students in Guangzhou, and to provide basis for improving the understanding level of hospice care and death education among adolescents. 【Methods:】 A total of 226 questionnaires were collected by convenient sampling and questionnaire survey. The questionnaire covered two parts: basic information of the respondents, cognition and attitude towards hospice care (including four dimensions: basic knowledge of hospice care, knowledge of pain control, attitude and thought of hospice care, and attitude towards hospice care education). Excel software was used to preliminary screen, preprocess and establish database of data. SPSS21.0 was used for statistical analysis. T-test and ANOVA were used for difference analysis, multiple linear regression was used for correlation analysis. 【Results:】 High school students had a basic understanding of hospice care. Among the four dimensions of basic knowledge of hospice care, knowledge of pain control, attitude and thought of hospice care, and attitude towards hospice care education, the cognition of "knowledge of pain control" dimension was the weakest link, and the entry of "attitude and thought of hospice care" had the highest score, which was the strong cognitive link. 【Conclusion:】 The main influencing factors of high school students’ cognition of hospice care were family structure, family residence and whether they have understood hospice care. This paper recommended that schools should add medical humanities education courses related to hospice and death education, and cooperate with hospice care centers to carry out hospice care experience practices. It was also suggested that relevant departments or organizations should make full use of mainstream media, such as online media and WeChat public accounts, to strengthen the popularity and popularization of hospice care education and science popularization from multiple channels and aspects, and improve the level and quality of hospice care education for young people.

【Objective】 To investigate the expression of Kinesin family member 14 (KIF14), and its correlation with clinical prognosis and immune cell infiltration of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). 【Methods】 The correlation between KIF14 expression in ccRCC and different clinicopathological features were analyzed with TCGA, GEO and Ualcan databases. The correlation between KIF14 expression and prognosis was analzyed with Kaplan-Meier method. The correlation between KIF14 expression and immune cell infiltration was analzyed with TIMER. The protein-protein interaction network of KIF14 was conducted with Genemania. The co-expression genes of KIF14 in TCGA-KIRC were picked out in Linkedomics database and were used to perform GO annotations and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis with R software. The biological functions of KIF14 were verified with in vitro functional assay. 【Results】 KIF14 was highly expressed in ccRCC tissue and was positively correlated with clinical stage, pathological grade, and lymphatic metastasis, but negatively correlated with clinical prognosis. KIF14 expression was an independent risk factor for overall survival of ccRCC patients. GO annotations showed that KIF14 was involved in DNA replication, nuclear division, organelle fission, and cell adhesion. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that KIF14 participated in cell cycle and p53 signaling pathway. Genemania analysis indicated KIF14 interacted with CENPE, CIT, KIF23, and other proteins. Timer showed that KIF14 was positively correlated with immune cell infiltration. Knockdown of KIF14 expression suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC. 【Conclusions】 KIF14 may serve as a novel prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target of clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
