Objective:To explore the value of baseline PET/CT parameters for predicting prognosis in patients with double-expression lymphoma (DEL).Methods:The clinical and 18F-FDG PET/CT data of 118 patients (66 males, 52 females; age: 28-85 years) with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) diagnosed in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Nanjing University and the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2015 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal thresholds for SUV max, total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) in predicting overall survival (OS) rate were determined using ROC curve analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses, along with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed to construct a survival prediction model. The effect of the model was evaluated by the calibration curve for the model, the time-dependent ROC curve analysis and decision curve analysis. Results:As of the last follow-up, 25 patients died, and the OS rate was 78.8%(93/118). The AUC of the ROC curve for TMTV was 0.705, with a corresponding optimal threshold of 230.9 cm 3. In multivariate analysis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score (hazard ratio ( HR)=3.886, 95% CI: 1.455-10.375; P=0.007) and TMTV ( HR=4.649, 95% CI: 1.665-12.979; P=0.003) were identified as independent predictors of OS. The combined model of ECOG PS score and TMTV was superior to ECOG PS score model and TMTV model alone in predicting OS. Conclusion:TMTV, a metabolic indicator, and ECOG PS score, a clinical risk factor, are independent predictors of OS in patients with DEL, and their combination can provide more accurate prognostic predictions.

Objective:To investigate the depersonalization status and to analyze the effect of workplace incivility perception, intrusive rumination and fear of negative evaluation on depersonalization in clinical nurses.Methods:In May 2019, 10 cities were selected as sampling cities by the method of grabbing random ball in Henan Province and Fujian Province. Using the stratified sampling, clinical nurses were selected as the research objects for a questionnaire survey in 22 tertiary hospitals and 23 secondary hospitals, included 1200 nurses. A total of 1200 questionnaires were issued and collected, and 1159 valid questionnaires were collected with effective recovery of 96.6%. Clinical nurses were investigated by Workplace Incivility Scale, Event Related Rumination Inventory, Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey. The demographic characteristics of nurses' depersonalization were compared and analyzed with t test and single factor analysis of variance. The influence mechanism of workplace incivility perception, intrusive rumination and fear of negative evaluation on depersonalization was analyzed with Bootstrap. Results:Depersonalization scores were (9.3±2.6) points, 467 of those had depersonalization symptoms in clinical nurses (40.3%). The scores of depersonalization of those with <3 years of service [ (10.5±2.9) points] was higher than those with 3-10 years [ (9.1±2.8) points] and 11-31 years [ (9.0±2.9) points]. The scores of depersonalization of those with monthly earning of <3000 yuan [ (10.1±2.8) points] was higher than those with 3000-7999 yuan [ (8.4±2.7) points] and 8000-12000 yuan [ (8.0±2.9) points]. The scores of depersonalization of clinical nurses in surgical departments [ (10.0±2.9) points] was higher than those in non-surgical departments [ (8.7±2.6) points]. The scores of depersonalization of clinical nurses in tertiary hospitals [ (10.0±2.7) points] was higher than those in secondary hospitals [ (8.6±2.8) points]. The differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Workplace incivility perception affected depersonalization through the single mediating role of intrusive rumination, fear of negative evaluation and the chain mediating role of intrusive rumination and fear of negative evaluation ( β=0.16, 0.17, 0.07, 95% CI: 0.15-0.20, 0.15-0.21, 0.03-0.09, P<0.05) . Conclusion:Workplace incivility perception directly or through the independent mediating effects of intrusive rumination or fear of negative evaluation, and the chain mediating effects of intrusive rumination and fear of negative evaluation influences the depersonalization of clinical nurses.

Neurogenesis decline in hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) participates in stress-induced depressive-like behaviors, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we observed low-expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6) in hippocampus of stress-stimulated mice, being consistent with high corticosterone level. NLRP6 was found to be abundantly expressed in neural stem cells (NSCs) of DG. Both Nlrp6 knockout (Nlrp6^-/-) and NSC-conditional Nlrp6 knockout (Nlrp6CKO) mice were susceptible to stress, being more likely to develop depressive-like behaviors. Interestingly, NLRP6 was required for NSC proliferation in sustaining hippocampal neurogenesis and reinforcing stress resilience during growing up. Nlrp6 deficiency promoted esophageal cancer-related gene 4 (ECRG4) expression and caused mitochondrial dysfunction. Corticosterone as a stress factor significantly down-regulated NLRP6 expression, damaged mitochondrial function and suppressed cell proliferation in NSCs, which were blocked by Nlrp6 overexpression. ECRG4 knockdown reversed corticosterone-induced NSC mitochondrial function and cell proliferation disorders. Pioglitazone, a well-known clinical drug, up-regulated NLRP6 expression to inhibit ECRG4 expression in its protection against corticosterone-induced NSC mitochondrial dysfunction and proliferation restriction. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that NLRP6 is essential to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis and proliferation in NSCs, and identifies NLRP6 as a promising therapeutic target for hippocampal neurogenesis decline linked to depression.

Objective: To study the relationship between compassion fatigue and workplace psychological violence, alexithymia, and empathy in clinical nurses. Methods: A total of 1 159 clinical nurses from 10 cities in Henan and Fujian Provinces were enrolled using the method of grabbing random balls. Questionnaires including Workplace Psychologically Violent Behaviors Instrument, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, Jefferson Scale of Empathy Health Professionals, Professional Quality of Life Scale were used to investigate the status of workplace psychological violence, alexithymia, empathy, and compassion fatigue in participants. Bootstrap analysis was used to analyze the relationship between workplace psychological violence, alexithymia, empathy, and compassion fatigue scores. Results: The average score for workplace psychological violence among clinical nurses was (26.2±6.5), with 405 nurses (34.9%) having experienced workplace psychological violence. The scores for alexithymia, empathy and compassion fatigue were (58.3±12.3), (104.3±18.6) and (48.5±6.7) respectively. Mild compassion fatigue was detected in 34.9% of participants, while moderate to severe compassion fatigue accounted for 48.8%. Bootstrap test result showed that workplace psychological violence had a positive impact on compassion fatigue ［standardized effect value (β)=0.40, 95% confidence interval(CI)： 0.35-0.44］. Workplace psychological violence had separate mediating effects through alexithymia (β=0.15, 95%CI： 0.10-0.19), empathy (β=0.16, 95%CI： 0.10-0.21) , and a chain mediating effect through alexithymia and empathy on compassion fatigue (β=0.06, 95%CI： 0.03-0.09). Conclusion: Compassion fatigue symptoms are relatively common among clinical nurses. Experiencing workplace psychological violence directly affects compassion fatigue and can indirectly affect it through the mediating effects of alexithymia and empathy.

Objective To explore the current status of emotional exhaustion among clinical nurses and its relationship with work stress, thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation. Methods A totally of 1 159 clinical nurses from 10 cities in Henan Province and Fujian Province were enrolled as the research subjects using grabbing random balls method. And their status of work stress, thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation and emotional exhaustion were investigated by Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale, White Bear Suppression Inventory, Brief Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Emotional Exhaustion Scale. Results The scores for work stress, thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation, emotional exhaustion were (23.5±3.8), (47.4±6.5), (54.1±7.2), (11.7±4.2), respectively. Among them, 40.0% of nurses experienced emotional exhaustion. Bootstrap analysis results showed that work stress positively affected emotional exhaustion among clinical nurses [standardized partial regression coefficient (β)=0.42, 95% confidence intervals (CI)： 0.36-0.44］. Work stress affected emotional exhaustion through thought suppression (β=0.16, 95%CI： 0.14-0.20), difficulties in emotion regulation (β=0.16, 95%CI： 0.14-0.19), and the chain mediating role of thought suppression and difficulties in emotion regulation (β=0.07, 95%CI： 0.04-0.09). Conclusion Emotional exhaustion symptoms are prevalent among clinical nurses. Work stress directly and indirectly influences thought suppression, difficulties in emotion regulation and emotional exhaustion of nurses.

Objective : To investigate the protective effect and related mechanisms of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on iron overload toxicity in mouse hippocampal neurons (HT22) induced by ferric ammonium citrate (FAC) . Methods: Selected HT22 cells in good condition were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group ( Ctrl group), FAC treatment group (FAC group), Dex treatment group (Dex group), ferroptosis inhibitor Fer⁃1 treatment group (Fer1 group) . The iron overload model was established by FAC⁃induced cells . Subsequently, the proliferation and survival rate of HT22 cells was detected by CCK⁃8 method; Western blot was used to detect the ferroptosis marker proteins prostaglandin⁃endoperoxide synthase 2 ( PTGS2 ) and acyl⁃CoA synthetase long⁃chain family member 4 (ACSL4) . The protein expressions of mammalian target of rapamycin ( mTOR), transferrin receptor 1 ( TFR1) and ferroportin (Fpn); the gene expression levels of PTGS2 and ACSL4 in HT22 cells were detected by qPCR; Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in HT22 cells was detected by DHE fluorescent probe; MDA detection kit was used to detect lipid oxidation levels in HT22 cells; Mito⁃FerroOrange—ferrous ion probe was used to detect ferrous ion levels in HT22 cells; electron microscopy was used to detect intracellular ultrastructural changes . Results: Dex group and Fer⁃1 group significantly decreased cell death rate after 2 h of pretreatment, the protein and gene expression levels of ferroptosis markers PTGS2 and ACSL4 significantly decreased . The degree of cell ultrastructural damage was significantly improved . The levels of ROS, lipid oxidation and Fe2 + were significantly lower than those of the FAC group (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion Dex pretreatment can attenuate FAC⁃induced iron overload toxicity in⁃ jury in HT22 cells, which may be related to the inhibition of ferroptosis .

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of case management care practice on the self-care ability of the elderly patients with prostate cancer during the endocrine therapy. Methods About 84 patients were divided into two groups by drawing lots. About 41 cases in the control group continued their treatment after discharge and consulted the nurses or doctors by phone call in case of problems. The 43 cases in the observation group was treated with case management for 3 months. The self-care ability was compared between the groups before and after the intervention. Result After the intervention, the ESCA total score of the observation group, self-care skills, self protection responsibility and health knowledge level were significantly higher than that of the observation group before intervention and that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementation of the case management can improve the self-care ability, health knowledge level, self-care skill and sense of responsibility of the elderly patients with prostate cancer during the endocrine therapy, eventually improving the patient's ability in self care.

The rapid worldwide rise in obesity rates over the past few decades imposes an urgent need to develop effective strategies for treating obesity and associated metabolic complications.Bariatric surgical pro-cedures,such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass(RYGB)and vertical sleeve gastrectomy(VSG),currently provide the most effective treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes(T2D),as well as for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH).However,the underlying mechanisms of the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery remain elusive.Recent studies have identified bile acids as potential signaling molecules involved in the beneficial effects of bariatric surgery.This review focuses on the most recent studies on the roles of bile acids and bile acid receptors Farnesoid X receptor(FXR)and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 5(TGR5)in bariatric surgery.We also discuss the possibility of modulating bile acid signaling as a phar-macological therapeutic approach to treating obesity and its associated metabolic complications.
