1.Concept analysis of good death with Chinese cultural characteristics from the perspective of palliative care
Chinese Medical Ethics 2024;37(3):324-331
Focusing on the field of palliative care,the Rodgers evolutionary concept analysis method was used to analyze the literature related to good death in the context of Chinese culture.The development history and application,definition and characteristics,influencing factors and their impacts,measuring indicators and tools of the concept of good death were elaborated,and further discussions were conducted.Good death refers to an individual’s peaceful and painless journey towards death,without subjective pain or concern,and calmness under the premise of sufficient longevity,while receiving care and companionship during the process of death from family,especially children and grandchildren,as well as achieving moral fulfilment and transcendence.The characteristics of good death in the context of Chinese traditional culture include the indirect expression of physical and mental pain being “understood” and properly handled,the construction of dying dignity based on virtue rather than autonomy,the emphasis on filial piety and emotional connections in the family,making after-death arrangements and realizing intergenerational inheritance,as well as the emphasis on achieving the integrity of life at the moment of death,which have distinct Chinese cultural characteristics.In the future,the connotation and extension of the concept of good death should be further explored,so as to assist in the development of localized theory and practice systems of good death.

Objective:To analyze the potential clinical biological factors influencing the major pathological response (MPR) to neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy in patients with resectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).Methods:This retrospective study enrolled patients with resectable HNSCC who underwent neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between clinical characteristics, inflammatory markers and MPR, and a nomogram model was constructed. The calibration curve and decision curve analysis were used to verify the predictive ability and accuracy of the nomogram model.Results:A total of 173 patients were included in the study, with 141 males and 32 females, aged from 22 to 83 years. After pathological assessment, the patients were divided into two groups: MPR group (108 cases) and non MPR group (65 cases). Logistics regression analysis indicated that the patients with HPV+oropharyngeal cancer, partial response or complete response by imaging assessment, low pre-treatment platelet/lymphocyte ratio, low pre-treatment C reactive protein/albumin ratio and lower pre-and post-treatment C reactive protein/albumin ratio difference were more likely to have MPR (all P<0.05). Nomogram model was constructed based on the above factors, with a C-index of 0.826 (95% CI: 0.760-0.892), and the calibration curve and decision curve analysis confirmed the prediction accuracy of the model. Conclusion:This study shows that many factors are related to MPR of patients with resectable HNSCC receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy and the constructed nomogram model helps to develop personalized treatment strategies for the patients.

ObjectiveBased on network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques, the mechanism of essential oil from Chimonanthus nitens leaves (CLO) in the treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) was predicted, and a rat model of ALI was established to verify the mechanism of CLO. MethodThe composition of CLO was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The component targets were obtained from PharmMapper and SwissTargetPrediction databases, ALI-related targets were obtained from GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) and DisGeNET, cross-over analysis with differential expressed genes (DEGs) of ALI obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) on the Venny 2.1.0 platform yielded potential anti-ALI targets of CLO. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis of potential targets was carried out by STRING 11.5. The tissue expression profiles of potential targets were obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the target tissue distribution maps were constructed. Potential targets were analyzed for Gene Ontology (GO) function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment by RStudio 4.0.0 software. Composition-target-pathway network was constructed by Cytoscape 3.9.1 software, and key components and pathways were screened out and verified by molecular docking. ALI model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction, levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in serum of rats were measured, the expression levels of IL-17 protein in the lung tissue of ALI rats were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. ResultA total of 19 components of CLO were identified by GC-MS, and 18 potential targets were obtained by target screening. After PPI analysis, 15 target proteins with interaction relationship were obtained, further analysis showed that they were highly expressed in lung and thymus. The network diagram of component-target-pathway was analyzed to obtain the key components, including bornyl acetate, linalool, elemol, geranyl isobutyrate, and the core targets of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13), S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100A9), spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK), as well as the main signaling pathways, such as IL-17 and TNF. The results of molecular docking showed that the key components were stably bound to MMP13 and S100A9 of IL-17 signaling pathway. The results of pharmacological experiment confirmed that CLO could significantly inhibit the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum of ALI rats, and decrease the expression of IL-17 protein in lung tissue of ALI rats. ConclusionCLO can achieve the therapeutic effect on ALI and protect lung tissue, the mechanism may be related to the decrease of the expression of IL-6 and TNF-α in serum and the inhibition of the activation of IL-17 signaling pathway in lung tissue of ALI rats.

Objective To predict the molecular mechanism of Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy (DN) complicated with depression based on network pharmacology. Methods The components of Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) were identified from the Integrated Pharmacology-based Research Platform of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCMIP), Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), and relevant literature. The component targets were detected by combining the SwissTargetPrediction and PubChem databases. Disease targets were collected from the Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), DisGeNET, and Ensembl databases with “diabetic nephropathy” and “depression” as keywords. The disease-component targets were mapped using Venny 2.1.0 to obtain potential targets. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database and Cytoscape 3.7.2. The co-expression genes of the key targets were collected based on the COXPRESdb 7.3. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were performed for potential targets using R language. Target-component docking was verified and evaluated using Discovery Studio 4.5. Results According to the databases and literature reports, Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) contained 65 active components, and had 155 related targets for the treatment of DN complicated with depression. PPI screening showed that the key targets included serine/threonine protein kinase 1 (AKT1), signal transducer and activator transcription 3 (STAT3), interleukin 6 (IL-6), mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1), and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), etc. GO enrichment analysis mainly involved biological processes, such as lipid metabolism, protein secretion regulation, cell homeostasis, and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase activity. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis included the role of the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complements, insulin resistance (IR), neurotrophin signal path, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, relaxin signaling pathway, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), etc. Molecular docking showed that the target had high affinity for stachyose, manninotriose, verbascose, nigerose, etc. Conclusion Based on network parmacology, this study preliminarily predict the effects of Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) in treating DN complicated with depression by regulating inflammation, glucose metabolism, nution nerve, etc.
