BACKGROUND:The repair process of myocardial injury involves complex cellular and molecular mechanisms,especially mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has shown significant clinical efficacy in improving myocardial injury,but its mechanism of action needs to be thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis-mediated macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis pathways in myocardial injury,and to summarize the progress of TCM in this field. METHODS:A computerized search was performed for relevant literature from the database inception to March 2024 in the Web of Science,PubMed and CNKI.The search terms were"mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,macrophage autophagy,macrophage pyroptosis,traditional Chinese medicine,myocardial injury,myocardial injury reperfusion"in Chinese and English.Through literature review,we analyzed the relationship between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage autophagy and pyroptosis,explored the mechanism of their roles in myocardial injury,and summarized the pathways of multi-targeted,multi-pathway effects of TCM. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The maintenance of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis has been found to be closely related to the normal function of cardiomyocytes.Macrophages can participate in the repair process of myocardial injury through autophagy and pyroptosis pathways.Autophagy contributes to cell clearance and regulation of inflammatory response,while pyroptosis affects myocardial repair by releasing inflammatory factors.TCM regulates mitochondrial calcium homeostasis and macrophage function through multiple mechanisms.For example,astragalosid regulates calcium homeostasis by lowering mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibiting cytochrome C,and epimedium glycoside plays a role in reducing β-amyloid deposition.In addition,herbal compounds and single drugs promote myocardial repair by activating or inhibiting specific signaling pathways,such as PI3K/AKT and nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways.Future studies should focus on the interactions between mitochondrial calcium homeostasis,autophagy and pyroptosis pathways,as well as how TCM can exert therapeutic effects through these pathways to provide new strategies and drugs for the treatment of myocardial injury.

Objective:To investigate the effects of backward walking observational training combined with Soundsory cognitive training based on PASS (P: planning; A: attention; S: simultaneous; S:successive) theory on cognitive function, balance function and self-efficacy in elderly patients with post-stroke mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. Elderly patients with post-stroke MCI admitted to the Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from December 2022 to November 2023 were selected as the study objects by convenience sampling method. The patients were divided into control group and observation group by random number table. The patients in the control group implemented routine care and rehabilitation training, while the observation group were implemented backward walking observational training combined with Soundsory cognitive training based on the PASS theory. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Brunel Balance, and the Stroke Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SSEQ) were used to evaluate the intervention effect before intervention, 2 weeks and 4 weeks of intervention, respectively.Results:A total of 116 elderly patients with post-stroke MCI were included, comprising 58 patients in the observation group (32 males and 26 females), aged (73.47 ± 7.10) years, and 58 patients in the control group (33 males and 25 females), aged (72.72 ± 8.37) years. Before intervention, there were no significant differences in the total scores of MoCA, SSEQ and Brunel Balance Scale between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).

Objective To explore the expression of prohibitin(PHB)in tumor tissues and analyze its effect on the prognosis of patients with digestive system malignant tumor(DT)and its mechanism.Methods ①The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)and Genotype-Tissue Expression(GTEx)database were used to compare the expression of PHB in tumor tissues and normal tissues.②Five pairs of gastric cancer and adjacent tissues and 5 pairs of colon cancer and adjacent tissues were collected,and RT-qPCR was used to verify the mRNA expression levels.③ RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to verify the differential expression of PHB in normal gastric mucosa cells(GES-1),gastric cancer cells(AGS,MKN45 and HGC27),normal colon cells NCM-460 and human colon cancer cell line SW480.④R language was used to analyze the effect of PHB on the prognosis,tumor microenvironment,tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability of DT patients.⑤CIBERSORT algorithm was used to study the correlation between PHB expression in tumor tissues and tumor immune cell infiltration.Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was used to explore the biological function of PHB.⑥R language was used to analyze the relationship between PHB and drug sensitivity.Results ①PHB was highly expressed in colon cancer,cholangiocarcinoma,esophageal cancer,liver cancer,rectal cancer and gastric cancer(P＜0.01).②RT-qPCR and Western blotting showed that PHB was highly expressed in the tissues and cell lines of gastric cancer(P＜0.01)and colon cancer(P＜0.01).③The differential expression of PHB was associated with poor prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(P=0.002).In cholangiocarcinoma,gastric cancer,pancreatic cancer,liver cancer and esophageal cancer,PHB was positively correlated with tumor mutation burden and microsatellite instability(P＜0.05).④PHB was positively correlated with M2 macrophages in colon cancer(P=0.03).In cholangiocarcinoma,it was positively correlated with activated CD4+memory T cells(P＜0.05).In esophageal carcinoma,it was positively correlated with activated hypertrophy(P=0.03).It was positively correlated with M0 and M2 macrophages and monocytes in hepatocellular carcinoma(P＜0.05).It was positively correlated with resting dendritic cells,eosinophils and activated CD4+memory T cells in rectal cancer(P＜0.05).It was positively correlated with M0 macrophages,activated mast cells,neutrophils,resting natural killer cells,activated CD4+memory T cells and follicular helper T cells in gastric cancer(P＜0.05).⑤PHB was mainly enriched in class I receptors,PPAR and calcium signaling pathways(P＜0.05).⑥ The expression of PHB was positively correlated with the sensitivity of 13 drugs,including ammonafide,prasinolide and abiraterone(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of PHB is significantly related to the infiltration of various immune cells in DT and poor prognosis in DT patients,which may become a new biomarker and potential immunomodulatory target of DT.

Objective:This study aimed to provide basic data for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pediatric viral myocarditis (VMC) in China through analyzing the epidemic characteristics and disease burden of pediatric inpatients with VMC from 2016 to 2021.Methods:We performed a descriptive statistical analysis to the age, genders, seasons, regions and hospitalization cost and days of pediatric VMC inpatients and the death. All of the information was obtained from 27 Children′s hospitals or Maternal and Child Health hospitals of 23 provinces of China from 2016 to 2021.Results:A total of 7 647 599 cases including 1 646 VMC inpatients were admitted into our study. The annual numbers of hospitalizations were 173, 227, 313, 301, 295 and 337, with the hospitalized constituent ratios being 14.9/100 000, 17.9/100 000, 23.0/100 000, 20.5/100 000, 26.5/100 000 and 26.4/100 000 from 2016 to 2021. In recent 6 years, the proportion of VMC hospitalizations had increased yearly ( P<0.001), and had associated with the onset age ( P<0.001). Aged 12-≤18 years owned the highest hospitalized constituent ratio. The Northeast of China owned the largest number of VMC inpatients, and the East second to it. Among the 1 646 VMC children, there were 68 deaths, with the hospitalized case fatality rate of 4.13%. There were no significant differences between genders, age, seasons, years and fatality rate of VMC inpatients. For the diseases burden, the median of hospitalization days of all VMC inpatients was 10 days (IQR 6, 21), and the median of hospitalization cost was 1 1 842.3 RMB (IQR 6 969.22, 19 714.78). The median of hospitalization days of deceased VMC children was only 1 day (IQR 1, 3), the median cost could be 8 874.03 RMB (IQR 5 277.94, 5 6 151.59). Conclusions:In this study, we found that proportion of hospitalization of VMC children increased year by year, adolescence might be a risk factor of VMC. The fatality of VMC inpatients could be up to 4.13%, and the death led to a huge economic burden of society, family and individuals.

Objective The scope of related research on ethical conflicts in the interprofessional collaboration in nursing was reviewed,so as to summarize the obstacles and coping strategies that lead to ethical conflicts in interprofessional collaboration and provide references for promoting nurse engagement in interprofessional collaboration.Methods Based on the methodological framework of the scope review,we systematically searched domestic and foreign databases including the Cochrane Library,CINAHL,Embase,PubMed,Web of Science,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang and SinoMed.The time limit for database retrieval was from the establishment of each database to March 2023.The selected studies were summarized and analyzed.Results Totally 13 articles published between 1991 and 2022 were included.The obstacle factors that lead to ethical conflicts in nurse engagement of interprofessional collaboration can be divided into 3 categories,including personal factors(insufficient professional knowledge,differences in professional values),interprofessional factors(imbalanced power between professions,lack of respect and collaboration between cooperators)and environmental factors(insufficient resources and staffing,high-intensity workload,and high-pressure work environment).At the same time,in view of these 3 aspects,it puts forward some countermeasures,such as enhancing professional knowledge,strengthening interprofessional education,improving understanding and cooperation among medical workers in different wards,providing medical practitioners with a team-based,ethical work environment that facilitates interprofessional collaborations and open dialogues.Conclusion It is of great significance for nurses to get involved in interprofessional collaborations,in order to ensure high-quality nursing services.Further studies are needed for the development of education and the core competency framework construction for interprofessional collaborations in nursing.More attention should be paid to develop the organizational atmosphere at the same time,so as to continuously improve nurse'capabilities in interprofessional collaborations.

Hip fracture is considered as the most severe osteoporotic fracture characterized by high disability and mortality in the elderly. Improved surgical techniques and multidisciplinary team play an active role in alleviating prognosis, which places higher demands on perioperative nursing. Dysfunction, complications, and secondary impact of anaesthesia and surgery add more difficulties to clinical nursing. Besides, there still lack clinical practices in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture in China. In this context, led by the Orthopedic Nursing Committee of Chinese Nursing Association, the Expert consensus on clinical practice in perioperative nursing for elderly patients with hip fracture ( version 2023) is developed based on the evidence-based medicine. This consensus provides 11 recommendations on elderly patients with hip fracture from aspects of perioperative health education, condition monitoring and inspection, complication risk assessment and prevention, and rehabilitation, in order to provide guiding advices for clinical practice, improve the quality of nursing and ameliorate the prognosis of elderly patients with hip fracture.
