Endometriosis （EMT） is a common disease with frequent occurrence and difficult to be cured in modern clinical practice of obstetrics and gynaecology. It is characterized by progressively worsening dysmenorrhoea， pelvic mass， and infertility. The incidence of EMT is growing and increasingly younger patients are diagnosed with this disease， which poses a serious threat to the reproductive and psychological health of women of childbearing age and adolescent females. However， the pathogenesis of EMT is still not completely clear， and the disease has a long course. Therefore， developing new therapies is an urgent clinical problem to be solved. Great progress has been achieved in the treatment of EMT with traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， while the underlying mechanism remains in exploration. Programmed cell death （PCD） is a cell death mode mediated by a variety of bio-molecules with specific signaling cascades. The known PCD processes include apoptosis， pyroptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， and cuproptosis， which all play a pivotal role in the development of EMT. Researchers have made achievements in the treatment of EMT with TCM， which regulates PCD via multiple pathways， routes， targets， and mechanisms. However， the progress in the regulation of PCD in the treatment of EMT with TCM remains to be reviewed. This paper reviews the research progress in the treatment of EMT with TCM from five PCD processes （apoptosis， pyroptosis， autophagy， ferroptosis， and cuproptosis）， with the aim of providing a theoretical basis for the clinical prevention and treatment of EMT.

Elderly end-of-life patients often experience distress due to being caught in dilemmas of contemplation and decision-making. Narrative wills， grounded in life values and premised on respecting individual wishes and needs， present an individual’s unique life story through narrative forms， conveying their overall experience， interpretation of meaning， and understanding of life. They are preserved and passed on in a way that meets individual expectations， thereby promoting human exploration， reflection， and growth regarding the meaning of life through interpersonal interactions that transcend space and time. This paper explored the concept of narrative wills among elderly end-of-life patients， the ethical value and ethical principles of narrative wills， and the moral and ethical risks. It also provided specific ethical interpretations， assisting in the application and development of narrative wills in elderly end-of-life patients.

Objective:To summarize the content and effects of exercise interventions for stroke survivors, providing references for medical and nursing personnel in formulating exercise intervention plans for these patients.Methods:Literature on exercise interventions for stroke survivors was searched in databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to May 1, 2023. Data extraction and summarization were conducted on the included literature.Results:Twenty-two articles were included in the review. The exercise types for stroke survivors primarily involved aerobic and resistance training; the intensity was mainly moderate to high; the frequency was mostly 3-5 times per week, with each session lasting 30-60 minutes; and the duration of interventions ranged from as short as two weeks to as long as one year. Exercise interventions improved stroke survivors' functional mobility, quality of life, cardiopulmonary function, mental state, cognitive function, fatigue, sleep, and compliance to varying degrees.Conclusions:Exercise interventions have achieved positive outcomes in stroke survivors. In the future, medical and nursing personnel can incorporate patient preferences into exercise intervention plans while ensuring patient safety to promote rehabilitation.

Cervical cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors,the five-year survival rate decreased significantly in the case of lymph node metastasis and distant metasta-sis,so the development of new anti-cervical cancer drugs is of great significance for the treatment of cervical cancer.Molecular docking technology is one of the most commonly used research methods in computer aided drug design,which is widely used in screening the effective components of drugs,finding the targets of drugs acting on tumors and exploring the mechanism of antineoplastic drugs.This paper reviews the molecular docking technology in the screening of anti-cervical cancer drugs,the determination of anti-tumor targets and the mechanism of anti-cervical cancer,in order to provide more sufficient theoretical basis for the screening of anti-cervical cancer drugs and new drug research and development.

Objective:To conduct an overview of systematic reviews on the safety and effectiveness of early mobilization in stroke patients.Methods:Systematic reviews of early mobilization in stroke were electronically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP, Chinese Biology Medicine, Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, and the Joanna Briggs Institute Evidence-Based Health Care Center Database. The search period was from database establishment to May 2023. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction, and methodological quality evaluation of the included literature, as well as evidence summary and grading.Results:A total of 10 systematic reviews were included. The methodological quality evaluation showed that one article was of medium quality, two articles were of low quality, and seven articles were of extremely low quality. The evidence quality evaluation indicated that there were three pieces of high-quality evidence, 17 pieces of medium-quality evidence, 21 pieces of low-quality evidence, and 17 pieces of extremely low-quality evidence.Conclusions:Early mobilization is beneficial for improving the daily living ability and limb motor function of stroke patients, reducing the incidence of complications, shortening hospital stay, and enhancing their walking ability in the short term. However, the quality of evidence in the systematic review is relatively low, and further improvement is needed in the research design of early mobilization intervention measures to provide strong support for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the status of fear of progression (FoP) in patients with esophageal gastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) due to liver cirrhosis and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 210 patients with liver cirrhosis and EGVB who were hospitalized at Shanxi Bethune Hospital and Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital between May and December 2023. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ), and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) .Results:A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed and 200 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 95.24%. Among 200 EGVB patients, the FoP-Q-SF score was (31.82±10.02). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, number of bleeding episodes, illness perception, coping strategies, and social support were significant influencing factors of FoP in these patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The incidence of FoP is relatively high in patients with liver cirrhosis and EGVB. Healthcare providers should pay attention to the impact of gender, bleeding episodes, illness perception, coping strategies, and social support on FoP and implement targeted interventions to reduce its levels.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(LOX-1)regulates hyperglycemic-induced myocardial fibroblast(CFs)fibrosis through the glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(STAT3)pathway.Methods CFs were isolated,cultured and identified.LOX-1 RNAi lentiviral vector was constructed and infected CFs.The experimental groups were as follows:Normal control(NC)group,High glucose(HG)group,LV-LOX-1,LV-Con group,Hypertonic(HPG)group.After LV-LOX-1 and LV-Con were infected with CFs,adding 25 mmol/L glucose to culture CFs for 24 h,they were denoted as HG+LV-LOX-1 group and HG+LV-Con group.Cells in HG+LV-LOX-1 group and HG+LV-Con group were treated with 10 μ mol/L SB216763 and 10 μ mol/L STATTIC for 24 h,respectively,and then they were recorded as HG+LV-LOX-1+SB216763 group,HG+LV-Con+SB216763 group,HG+LV-LOX-1+STATTIC group and HG+LV-Con+STATTIC group.CCK-8 was used to detect the activity of CFs,and the expression levels of mRAN and protein of LOX-1,collagen type I(COL-I),thioredoxin 5(TXNDC5),GSK-3β,STAT3,p-GSK-3β and p-STAT3 were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot.Results CFs infected with LOX-1 RNAi lentiviral vector were obtained,which showed green under fluorescence microscopy.Compared with HG and HG+LV-Con groups,the mRNA expressions of LOX-1,COL-I and TXNDC5 were decreased in HG+LV-LOX-1 group(P<0.05).Compared with HG+LV-LOX-1 group,mRNA expressions of COL-I and TXNDC5 were decreased in HG+LV-LOX-1+SB216763 and HG+LV-LOX-1+STATTIC groups(P<0.05).Compared with HG and HG+LV-Con groups,p-GSK-3β protein expression was increased in HG+LV-LOX-1 group(P<0.05),while LOX-1,p-STAT3,COL-I,TXNDC5 protein expression was decreased in HG+LV-LOX-1 group(P<0.05).Compared with HG+LV-LOX-1 group,p-GSK-3β protein expression was increased in HG+LV-LOX-1+SB216763 group(P<0.05),while the protein expressions of p-STAT3,COL-I and TXNDC5 were decreased in HG+LV-LOX-1+SB216763 and HG+LV-LOX-1+STATTIC groups(P<0.05).Conclusion LOX-1,GSK-3β,STAT3,TXNDC5,and COL-I are involved in high glucose induced CFs fibrosis.LOX-1 promotes the expression of TXNDC5 and COL-I through GSK-3β/STAT3 pathway,and inhibition of LOX-1 can inhibit high glucose induced CFs fibrosis.
