Objective:To explore whether LBP3 exerts anti-tumor effects by promoting production of short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)by intestinal microbiota and regulating function of polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells(PMN-MDSC).Methods:A subcutaneous H22 liver cancer model was employed to assess anti-tumor activity of LBP3 and its regulatory effects on PMN-MDSC.Pseudo-sterile tumor-bearing mouse model was used to investigate role of intestinal microbiota in tumor suppression of LBP3.Fecal microbiota transplantation(FMT)was conducted to explore immune regulatory role of LBP3-modulated flora.Serum SCFAs levels in tumor-bearing mice were quantified using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry,and effect of SCFAs butyrate on arginase 1(Arg-1)expression was evaluated in vitro.Results:Both low-dose(125 mg/kg)and high-dose(250 mg/kg)LBP3 signifi-cantly inhibited tumor growth in H22 tumor-bearing mice,also led to a marked reduction in proportion of PMN-MDSC in both spleen and tumor,a reduced proportion of Treg in lymphoid tissues,a decrease in Arg-1 level within tumor,infiltration of CD8+T cells into tumor was significantly enhanced.However,these effects of LBP3 were did not observed in pseudo-sterile mice,while the above changes could be reproduced after fecal supernatant transplantation in high-dose LBP3 treatment group,suggesting a crucial role for gut microbiota.Furthermore,co-expression of Ly6G and SCFA receptor GPR43 in tumor was also observed.LBP3 treatment resulted in increased levels of SCFAs,particularly butyrate,in both blood and tumor tissues.In vitro,butyrate was shown to inhibit Arg-1 expression in MSC-2 cells,further supporting hypothesis that SCFAs mediate immune-modulatory effects of LBP3.Conclusion:LBP3 exerts its anti-tumor effects by promoting SCFA production,which subsequently inhibits function of PMN-MDSC.This highlights LBP3's potential as an immunomodulatory agent in cancer therapy.

Objective To investigate the changes of blood lipid and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients and their relationship with insulin resistance (Homa-IR). Methods A total of 120 cases of T2DM newly diagnosed in Motuo County, Tibet from February to October 2022 were selected as the observation group. According to BMI, the patients were divided into diabetes normal weight group (46 cases), overweight group (43 cases) and obesity group (31 cases); 145 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The levels of HbA1c, fasting blood glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were detected in the study subjects, and Homa-IR and Homa-β indices were calculated. The height, weight, and abdominal circumference were measured. The differences in the levels of the above indicators between the observation group patients and the control group, as well as among various subgroups within the observation group were compared. The influencing factors of Homa-IR in obese T2DM patients were analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, a significant increase in BMI, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, HbA1c, FBG, FINS, TC, TG, LDL-C, UA, visceral fat area, and the levels of Home-IR and Home-β was found in the observation group (all P<0.05). There were significant differences in BMI, abdominal circumference, and the levels of FINS, Homa IR, Homa-β, and HbA1c in diabetes patients with different BMI (all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that TG levels in obese T2DM patients in the observation group were significantly correlated with HbA1c (r=0.396, P=0.027), Homa-IR (r=0.405, P=0.024), and Home-β (r=-0.401, P=0.025); LDL-C was significantly correlated with Homa-IR (r=0.411, P=0.022) and Homa-β (r=-0.412, P=0.021); HbA1c was significantly positively correlated with BMI (r=0.371, P=0.040). Conclusion Insulin resistance is closely related to TG, LDL-C, and BMI in obese T2DM patients from the Motuo ethnic minority of Tibet, suggesting that these factors may play a role in the occurrence of T2DM.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and lung function in patients with bronchial asthma (asthma).Methods:This study was a retrospective study. A total of 828 patients with asthma were included from March 2013 to November 2022 in the first affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, including 292 males and 536 females, aged 21-82 years, with a median age of 47 years. According to BMI, these asthma patients were divided into high BMI group (BMI≥24 kg/m 2), normal BMI group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI<24 kg/m 2) and low BMI group (BMI<18.5 kg/m 2). Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV 1), FEV 1/FVC, maximum mid-expiratory flow (MMEF), forced expiratory flow at 25%, 50% and 75% of FVC (FEF 25%, FEF 50%, FEF 75%), peak expiratory flow (PEF), absolute increases in measured values of FVC and FEV 1 and percentage increases in FVC%pred (“%pred” represents the percentage of related indicators to expected value) and FEV 1%pred after inhalation of bronchodilator (salbutamol) were measured by pulmonary function meter. The correlation between BMI and the above indexes was analyzed. Results:In the high BMI group, FEV 1%pred, MMEF, FEF 25%, FEF 50% and FEF 75% were significantly lower than those in the normal BMI group and the low BMI group (all P<0.05), FVC% pred was significantly lower than those in the normal BMI group( P<0.05), and the percentage increase of FEV 1%pred was significantly lower than those in low BMI group ( P<0.05). FVC% pred in the normal BMI group was significantly higher than that in the low BMI group ( P<0.05). In male patients, BMI was negatively correlated with the absolute increase of FEV 1 ( r=-0.148, P<0.05); In female patients, BMI was negatively correlated with FEV 1%, FEV 1/FVC, MMEF, FEF 25%, FEF 50%, FEF 75% and the percentage increase of FEV 1%pred ( r=-0.124, -0.127, -0.165, -0.138, -0.156, -0.162, -0.106, all P<0.05). Conclusion:There is a significant correlation between BMI and lung function in patients with asthma, and the lung function in patients with high BMI is relatively worse; and in female patients, the effect of BMI on lung function is more significant; the increase of BMI can lead to the decrease of lung function and airway reversibility, suggesting that attention should be paid to the management of BMI in asthma management.

Objective:To introduce and validate the Pediatric Nausea Assessment Tool (PeNAT) and the Baxter Retching Faces Scale (BARF) in the assessment of chemotherapy induced nausea in Chinese children with malignant neoplasms, and to explore the cut-off value for rescue antiemetic.Methods:A prospective descriptive study was conducted, 244 children in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center with malignant neoplasms who received chemotherapy were selected by convenience sampling from July to August 2021. PeNAT, BARF, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Faces Pain Scale-Revised(FPS-R) were used to assess the severity of nausea and pain before and after chemotherapy, before and 30-60 minutes after the use of rescue antiemetic or analgesic. After chemotherapy, the children also were asked the changes of nausea severity and whether antiemetic was needed.Results:A test-retest reliability was conducted on the patients with the same severity of nausea before and after chemotherapy, and the intraclass correlation coefficient of the PeNAT and BARF were 0.940 (both P<0.05). After chemotherapy, the PeNAT and BARF were 1.5(1.0, 2.0) and 2.0(0, 2.0) points, which were significantly higher than the 1.0(1.0, 1.0) and 0(0, 0) points before chemotherapy ( Z = - 9.19, - 9.09, both P<0.01). The PeNAT and BARF of 11 cases receiving antiemetic before medication were 4.0 (4.0, 6.0) and 3.0(2.0, 4.0) points, which were higher than the 0(0, 2.0) and 1.0(1.0, 2.0) points without antiemetic ( Z = - 4.03, - 3.86, both P<0.05). After chemotherapy, the correlation coefficients between PeNAT or BARF and VAS-nausea were r = 0.933, 0.957 (both P<0.01), and FPS-R were r = 0.192, 0.189 (both P<0.05). After using antiemetic, PeNAT and BARF were 2.0(2.0, 3.0) and 2.5(2.0, 4.0) points, which were significant different than the 3.0(3.0, 3.8) and 4.0(4.0, 8.0) points before using antiemetic ( Z = - 2.97, - 2.83, both P<0.05). According ROC curves and cut-off values, it was determined that PeNAT≥3 and BARF≥4 had clinical significance and require clinical intervention. Conclusions:PeNAT and BARF have excellent reliability and validity in the assessment of chemotherapy induced nausea in children with malignant neoplasms, they can effectively identify the requirement of rescue antiemetic, and evaluate the efficacy of antiemetic.

Objective:To explore the effects of psychological intervention based on resourcefulness theory on the management of aggression and violence attitude and resilience of emergency nurses.Methods:Totally 60 nurses who worked in the Emergency Department of the 904 Hospital, the People's Liberation Army Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected by convenience sampling. According to the enrollment time, the nurses enrolled from January to December 2020 were included as the control group, and the nurses enrolled from January to December 2021 were included as the intervention group, with 30 nurses in each group. Nurses in the control group received routine psychological training, while nurses in the intervention group was trained with a psychological intervention program based on resourcefulness theory based on the training provided to the control group. The nurses were surveyed and the intervention effect was evaluated by Resourcefulness Scale, Management of Aggression and Violence Attitude Scale (MAVAS), Medical Professionals Resilience Scale (MeRS), and Nurses' Work Alienation Questionnaire (NWAQ) .Results:After intervention, the scores of Resourcefulness Scale, MAVAS and MeRS of nurses in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, and the scores of NWAQ were lower than those in the control group, with statistical significance between the two groups ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Psychological intervention based on resourcefulness theory can enhance the resourcefulness of emergency nurses, improve their management of aggression and violence attitudes, strengthen their deep understanding of work violence and their level of resilience, reduce their sense of alienation at work, and alleviate negative psychological emotions. Therefore, it is worth promoting in clinical practice.
