Objective:To investigate the current state of death cognition among healthcare providers in hematology department and their attitudes toward hospice care for patients with hematologic malignancies.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation study was conducted. A total of 198 medical staff in hematology department of 4 teaching hospitals, including the First School of Clinical Medicine of Guangdong Medical University, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from March 2024 to June 2024 were selected as the investigation subjects. The general situation and background of medical staff in hematology department were investigated by using the "General Sociological Questionnaire". "Death Attitude Description Scale (Chinese version)" was used to investigate the status of death cognition among medical staff in hematology department. "Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B (Chinese version)" was used to investigate the hospice care attitude of medical staff in hematology department. The survey results of doctors and nurses were compared.Results:There were 105 doctors and 93 nurses in hematology department included in this study. A total of 198 qualified "General Sociology Questionnaires" were collected. After excluding 6 unqualified questionnaires, 192 copies of "Death Attitude Description Scale (Chinese version)" and "Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale Form B (Chinese version)" were collected. There were statistically significant differences in gender, educational background, political status and experience of taking care of terminally ill patients between doctors and nurses (all P < 0.05). The scores of approaching acceptance, neutral acceptance, death escape, death fear and flight acceptance were (4.35±0.37), (4.03±0.51), (2.98±0.62), (2.54±0.29) and (2.19±0.42) points, respectively in the doctor group; the corresponding scores were (3.12±0.41), (3.89±0.46), (2.66±0.63), (2.81±0.57) and (2.37±0.65) points, respectively in the nurse group, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The total score of hospice care attitude of doctors in hematology department was (108±15) points, and that of nurses was (116±13) points, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = -3.61, P < 0.001). The hospice care attitude of doctors and nurses towards patients with hematologic malignancies is generally between positive and neutral. The nurse group showed more recognition of the positive role of the patient's family members in the process of hospice care, and the doctor group showed more recognition of the promoting role of medical staff in hospice care. There were statistically significant differences in hospice care attitude scores of medical staff in hematology department to patients with different occupational background, gender, age, place of residence, family discussion about death, whether the only child, whether they had the experience of taking care of terminally ill patients, and whether they suffered from serious illness and religious belief (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:The death cognition of medical staff in hematology department is neutral, and they show a certain sense of hospice care.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients with renal involvement.Methods:The clinical data of a chronic lymphocytic leukemia patient with nephrotic syndrome as the initial manifestation in Fujian Provincial People's Hospital in October 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed.Results:The patient was a 68-year-old male with recurrent edema and foam urine as the initial manifestations, and he was diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome in the nephrology department. After treatment, the symptoms showed no significant improvement, and the lymphocyte count gradually increased. The patient was diagnosed as chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the hematology department. After ibrutinib monotherapy, the lymphocyte count and urine protein gradually decreased to normal levels, and the clinical efficacy evaluation of the patient was complete remission at the end of follow-up.Conclusions:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia with nephrotic syndrome as the initial manifestation is rare, and the clinical presentations are variable. Early diagnosis is the guarantee of successful treatment. The efficacy and safety of first-line Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor monotherapy are good.

Objective:To explore the role and mechanism of kidney brain protein (KIBRA) down-regulation in cognitive dysfunction caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.Methods:Ninety male SPF grade Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four groups according to random number table: sham operation group ( n=15), chronic hypoperfusion group (2VO group, n=25), chronic hypoperfusion stereotaxic injection of AAV-KIBRA group (2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group, n=25), chronic hypoperfusion stereotaxic injection of AAV-Vector group (2VO+ AAV-vector group, n=25). Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model was established by bilateral ligation of common carotid artery, and stereotactic injection of 2 μL AAV-KIBRA or AAV-vector was performed for 30 days.Morris water maze, in vitro electrophysiology, p21-activated kinase 3(PAK3) activity detection, Western blot, immunoprecipitation and Golgi staining were used to detect spatial learning and memory ability, long-term potentiation(LTP), KIBRA level expression, PAK3 activity changes and the distribution of dendritic spines.SPSS 16.0 statistical software was used for statistical data.One-way ANOVA was used to compare the differences between groups.LSD test was used to compare the significance of data differences between the two groups.Welch test was used for uneven variance. Results:After 1 month of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, the level of KIBRA in the hippocampus of rats was detected by homogenate and Western blot, and it was found that the level of KIBRA in 2VO group was lower than that of sham group(73.49±4.12)% ( P<0.01). AAV-KIBRA injection in hippocampal CA1 region significantly up-regulated the level of KIBRA to (91.91±7.01)% over 2VO group ( P<0.01). Morris water maze test showed that the latency of the 2VO group(3rd-7th day trail data: (48.18±2.82)s, (43.45±2.27)s, (32.27±2.22)s, (26.55±2.37)s, (17.18±2.67)s) were significantly longer than those of the sham group((41.67±2.74)s, (32.58±2.57)s, (22.50±2.94)s, (16.91±2.39)s, (8.75±1.52)s) (all P<0.05), and the latencies of the 2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group 3rd-7th day trail data: (43.83±2.95)s, (35.25±2.15)s, (26.58±2.03)s, (19.92±2.17)s, (17.75±1.35)s) was significantly shorter than that of the 2VO group ((all P<0.01). The Morris water maze test with the platform removed showed that the latency of rats in the 2VO group to reach the platform region was significantly longer than that of the sham group, while the latency of rats in the 2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group to reach the platform region was significantly shorter than that in the 2VO group ( P<0.01). At the same time, the retention time and the crossing times in the platform region of 2VO group were less than those of the sham group ( P<0.01), but the retention time and the crossing times in the platform region of 2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group were significantly higher than those in the 2VO group ( P<0.01). The electrophysiological records of the brain slices showed that the relative excitatory postsynaptic field potential of 2VO group (1.43±7.43) was significantly lower than that of sham group (2.21±6.54) after high frequency stimulation, while the relative excitatory postsynaptic field potential of 2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group (1.90±8.15) was higher than that of 2VO group ( P<0.01). Immunoprecipitation in rat hippocampus revealed that PAK3 could be detected by Western blot assay when KIBRA was precipitated.The results showed that the relative enzyme activity of PAK3 in 2VO hippocampal tissue (0.64±0.04) was significantly lower than that in sham group (1.02±0.07), while the relative enzyme activity of PAK3 in 2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group (0.86±0.03) was significantly higher than that in 2VO group.Golgi staining showed that the density of dendritic spines in 2VO hippocampal neurons((6.85±0.43)/10 μm) was significantly lower than that in sham group((11.83±0.58)/10 μm), while the density of dendritic spines in 2VO+ AAV-KIBRA group((10.22±0.39)/10 μm) was significantly higher than that in 2VO group. Conclusion:The down-regulated of KIBRA after chronic cerebral hypoperfusion plays a key role in cognitive dysfunction and is also involved in the decrease of synaptic functional plasticity.The downregulation of KIBRA is involved in the structural plasticity of dendrites through the regulation of PAK3 activity.Therefore, KIBRA may be an important target for the prevention and treatment of cognitive function of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion.

Myosin light chain 9 (MYL9) is a regulatory light chain of myosin, which plays an important role in various biological processes including cell contraction, proliferation and invasion. MYL9 expresses abnormally in several malignancies including lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, malignant melanoma and others, which is closely related to the poor prognosis, but the clinical significance for its expression varies with different types of cancer tissues. Further elucidating the molecular mechanism of MYL9 in various types of malignant tumor metastasis is of great significance for cancer prevention and treatment. At the same time, as a molecular marker and potential target, MYL9 may have great clinical value in the early diagnosis, prognosis prediction, and targeted treatment of malignant tumors.
