Objective To explore the molecular mechanism by which SOS Ras/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1-intronic transcript 1(SOS1-IT1)affects enhancer of zeste homolog 2(EZH2)protein expression in endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2.Methods Lentiviral transfection of short hairpin RNA(shRNA)and overexpression plasmid were used in Ishikawa and RL95-2 cell lines to knock down and overexpress SOS1-IT1.The mechanism of EZH2 expression regulation was studied using Real-time PCR,Western blotting,and chromatin immunoprecipitation.Results The expression of SOS1-IT1 and EZH2 genes was positively correlated in endometrial cancer tissues.Knocking down SOS1-IT1 significantly reduces the expression of EZH2,inhibited the proliferation and migration of Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells,and could reduced the acetylation of histone H3 at position 27(H3K27)and the enrichment of CREB binding protein(CBP)in the EZH2 gene promoter region.Overexpression of SOS1-IT1 could increased the expression of EZH2 and enhance the acetylation of H3K27 and the enrichment of CBP.CBP could bind to SOS1-IT1 RNA,and this binding ability was weakened when CBP was knocked down.Conclusion SOS1-IT1 can promote the expression level of EZH2 in endometrial cancer cells Ishikawa and RL95-2 by regulating the acetylation modification level of the EZH2 gene promoter region,thereby affecting the proliferation and migration ability of endometrial cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the experience of ICU nurses in communication with the patients under mechanical ventilation,therefore to provide a reference for establishing and improving effective strategies in communication with the patients.Methods Using qualitative research,semi-structured interviews were conducted on 14 ICU nurses in a Tire-IIIA hospital.Data were analysed using Colaizzi's seven-step method to extract themes.Results A total of 4 themes were extracted with 11 sub-themes,they were:emotional stress in non-verbal communication(frustration and feeling of defeat,emotional exhaustion and burnout),difficulty and challenge in ineffective communication(difficulty in establishing an equal and trusting communication quickly,difficulty in accurately understanding communication requirement of patients,and difficulty in achieving effective communication and cooperation),active promotion of effective communication(use of assistive communication tools,actively seek external collaboration,early assessment and prevention of delirium),and enhancement of communication skills and a sense of professional benefit(improvement of professional communication skills and enhancement of cultural communication literacy).Conclusion ICU nurses face various emotional pressures and communication challenges.It is important to actively provide psychological support to the nurses and optimise the communication environment in order to reduce the work stress and enhance the sense of achievement and values.

Objective:To investigate the association between serum IgG concentration and renal prognosis in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods:It was a multi-center retrospective cohort study, patients with biopsy proven primary IgAN who were recorded in the Chinese IgA Nephropathy Information Registration System between April 1996 and September 2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were: (1) age <18 years; (2) <8 glomeruli in biopsy specimens; (3) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 at biopsy; (4) missing baseline serum IgG values; (5) incomplete follow-up data; (6) follow-up duration <12 months. Enrolled patients were divided into 3 groups according to the baseline tertiles of serum IgG: ≤9.50 g/L (G1 group), 9.51-11.99 g/L (G2 group), and ≥12.00 g/L (G3 group). Clinical, and pathological parameters were compared across groups. The endpoint events were defined as doubled serum creatinine level from baseline, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Results:A total of 1 976 IgAN patients were included in this study, 631 were in G1 group, 664 in G2 group, and 681 in G3 group. The comparison of baseline clinical data showed that there were statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of gender, age, microscopic hematuria, edema, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein quantity, blood uric acid, blood albumin, serum IgA, serum IgM, the proportion of using immunosuppressants, and the proportion of using glucocorticoids (all P<0.05). In terms of pathology, the higher the serum IgG concentration, the relatively less severe the overall renal pathological damage. The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that gender, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein quantity, total protein, serum albumin, globulin, serum IgG, Oxford renal pathological classification, glomerular sclerosis ratio, and glomerular IgM deposition were all associated with the occurrence of renal endpoint events (all P<0.05). Based on clinical practice and previous studies, after adjusting for gender, age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein quantity, body mass index, Oxford renal pathological classification, glomerular sclerosis ratio, and the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, glucocorticoids, and immunosuppressants, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that as a continuous variable, the baseline serum IgG level ( HR=0.91, 95% CI 0.87-0.96) was independently associated with the risk of renal endpoint events in IgAN patients; as a categorical variable, with serum IgG ≤ 9.50 g/L as the reference, serum IgG 9.51-11.99 g/L and serum IgG ≥ 12.00 g/L were independent factors for the occurrence of renal endpoint events in IgAN patients ( HR=0.69, 95% CI 0.49-0.96, P=0.027; HR=0.50, 95% CI 0.34-0.74, P<0.001). During a median follow-up of 33(21, 53) months started from the date of renal biopsy and continued until December 31, 2019, the median follow-up duration was 33 (21, 53) months, and a total of 232 patients (11.74%) reached the composite endpoint. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the higher the serum IgG concentration in patients with IgAN, the higher their cumulative renal survival rate (Log-rank test, χ2=47.176, P<0.001). Conclusion:The higher level of serum IgG at diagnosis is associated with better clinicopathologic features and renal outcomes, and may portend better renal survival in IgAN patients.

Objective To analyze the status and influencing factors of Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection in the occupational population of Chengdu city.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the general data of 8860 occupational population who underwent health examinations in our hospital from June 2021 to June 2023.All study subjects underwent 14 C urea breath test during health check ups.Analyze the Hp infection status of 8860 occupational population,and use logistic regression analysis(single factor and multiple factor)to explore the influencing factors of Hp infection in occupational population in Chengdu.Results Among the 8860 occupational population undergoing physical examinations in Chengdu,2890 cases were positive for Hp infection,with a total Hp infection rate of 32.62%.Univariate analysis found that occupational groups with age≥40 years,male,BMI<18.5 kg/m2(underweight)/24.0 kg/m2～27.9 kg/m2(overweight)/≥28 kg/m2(obese),workers,history of alcohol consumption,smoking,unclean diet,family history of Hp infection,and history of spicy and jelly diet had a higher Hp infection rate(P<0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that age≥40 years old,low BMI,overweight,obesity,alcohol consumption history,unclean diet history,family history of Hp infection,and spicy diet history were all risk factors affecting Hp infection in the occupational population of Chengdu(P<0.05).Conclusion The positive rate of Hp infection in the occupational population of Chengdu is relatively high,associated with age,alcohol consumption history,BMI,history of unclean diet,family history of Hp infection,and history of spicy eating.Therefore,attention should be paid to the Hp infection status of the occupational population.It is not only necessary to strengthen Hp infection publicity and education,but also to intervene in its risk factors early,in order to reduce and prevent Hp infection in the occupational population.
