Objective:To explore the psychological experience of ICU nurses caring for young patients with suicide attempts in a general hospital, and to lay a foundation for the study of psychological adjustment and intervention for ICU nurses.Methods:Twelve ICU nurses who had experience of caring for suicide attempted- young patients from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Zhejiang University were selected by using descriptive qualitative research method and the maximum difference method of the purposive sampling during October to December in 2023, and semi-structured in-depth personal interviews were conducted. Traditional content analysis method was used to sort out and analyze the data and extract the themes.Results:A total of 12 nurses completed the interview, 5 males, 7 females, aged 23-38(29.33 ± 4.14) years, three themes and seven sub-themes were extracted: psychological characteristics of care (avoidance of active communication, fear of care, empathy); the support required for nursing care (support from colleagues; support from nursing managers); self-growth after caregiving (self-growth in terms of life and death, and self-growth in terms of children′s education).Conclusions:ICU nurses have a certain degree of psychological pressure when taking care of young patients with suicide attempts, which will produce empathy for patients and affect their self-values. At the same time, they need support from colleagues and nursing managers. Therefore, general hospitals should pay attention to the psychological state of ICU nurses, carry out the targeted communication training and mental health support for ICU nurses, and help them gain positive nursing career growth and values.

Objective:To establish reference values for clot waveform analysis (CWA) and analyze their diagnostic efficacy in distinguishing acquired hemophilia A (AHA) and lupus anticoagulant (LA)-positive patients.Methods:Case-Control Study. A total of 391 healthy individuals(260 males and 131 females) with a mean age of 45.53±14.85 years were enrolled at Nanyang central Hospital between January 6, 2023 and October 10, 2024. Prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and thrombin time (TT) were measured to establish reference ranges for the CWA parameters, including maximal reaction velocity (Min1), maximal reaction acceleration (Min2), and maximal reaction deceleration (Max2). A total of 158 definitively diagnosed AHA and LA-positive patients (mean age:42.46±14.83 years), including 34 AHA patients and 124 LA-positive patients, were recruited. The Mann Whitney U test was used to analyze the differences in the CWA parameters between the two groups. The diagnostic efficacy of CWA parameters in distinguishing AHA and LA-positive patients was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve AUC and the cut-off values were calculated. Results:The reference values for PT-Min1, APTT-Min1, APTT-Min2, APTT-Max2, TT-Min1, TT-Min2, TT-Max2 were 203.41-516.89, 144.63-324.03, 526.46-1 190.03, -404.96±157.22, 159.17±60.34, 272.29-686.99, and -289.47--113.76, respectively. Compared with the CWA parameters in AHA patients, APTT-Max2 was significantly lower in LA-positive patients [-422.74(-577.50, -239.22) vs. -68.87(-92.85,30.28), Z=-7.43, P<0.01], while PT-Min1, APTT-Min1, APTT-Min2, TT-Min1, TT-Min2 were significantly elevated [287.01(188.03, 382.50) vs. 107.45(90.20, 151.39), 972.88(601.20, 1 351.19) vs. 229.10(118.38, 371.67), Z=6.68, 6.69, all P<0.01]. ROC analysis demonstrated the APTT-CWA parameter exhibited high diagnostic efficacy in patients with AHA (AUC>0.900 for both).Additionally, APTT-Min1 and APTT-Max2 were found to be useful in distinguishing between AHA patients and those with LA-positive status accompanied by APTT prolongation (AUC=0.660, 0.700, respectively). Conclusions:Reference values for CWA parameters were successfully established. The APTT-CWA is useful for differentiating between AHA and LA-positive patients and APTT-Max2 demonstrated a good diagnostic value in differentiating AHA patients from those with LA-positive status accompanied by APTT prolongation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Ruyi Heibai Power (如意黑白散, RHP) in the treatment of vitiligo. MethodsTwenty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, high-dose and low-dose RHP groups, with 6 mice in each group. Model group, high- and low-dose RHP groups were all applied hydroquinone to establish vitiligo animal model. After modeling, High- and low-dose RHP groups were given 7.02 g/kg and 2.34 g/kg of RHP by gavage, respectively, while the blank group and model group were intragastrically given 10ml/kg of normal saline, once a day for 36 days. After administration, the skin lesions were observed with naked eye, and HE staining was used to observe the melanin content of the skin lesions. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in skin tissue. Immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression of programmed death receptor 1 (PD-1) in the skin lesion tissue. RT-PCR was used to detect programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) mRNA expression. ELISA was used to detect serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and tyrosinase (TYR) levels. ResultsCompared to those in the blank group, the skin of the mice in the model group was pale, and the melanin content was significantly reduced under the microscope after HE staining; the rate of excellent and good skin lesions decreased, and the melanin granules in the cells around the epidermis and hair follicles decreased significantly; the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in skin tissue increased significantly, and the expressions of PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1 decreased; the content of TYR decreased, while the content of SOD and TNF-α increased (P<0.05). Compared to those in the model group, the skin color of high- and low-dose RHP groups were deepened, and the melanin content increased; the rate of excellent and good skin lesions increased, as well as the melanin granules in the spinous cell layer, basal cells and hair follicles; the expression of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells in the skin lesions decreased, while PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1 expression increased; the content of TYR increased, while the content of SOD and TNF-α decreased (P<0.05). Compared to the low-dose RHP group, the high-dose group had a larger pigment recovery area in the modeling area, an increased rate of excellent and good skin lesions, an increase in spinous cell layer, basal cells, and hair follicle melanin granules, a decrease in CD3+ and CD8+ T cells expression, an increase in the expression of PD-L1 mRNA and PD-1, an elevated TYR content, and decreased SOD and TNF-α contents (P<0.05). ConclusionRHP can increase skin melanin content of vitiligo mice.The mechanism of action may be related to activating the PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, and then reducing the destruction of melanocytes by T cell-mediated autoimmunity.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Jianpi Yangzheng(JPYZ)formula regulating tumor-associated macrophage(TAM)exosomes on anoikis in gastric cancer and its mechanism.METHODS TAM model was established by inducing human mononuclear THP-1 cells in vitro;M0,TAM and TAM+JPYZ formula exosomes were extracted by ultracentrifugation and co-incuba-ted with gastric cancer cells.Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of exosomes in each group on anoikis in gastric cancer cells.A BALB/c transplanted tumor mouse model was constructed,and the expression level of apoptotic proteins in transplanted tumors was detected by Western blot.Label-free mass spectrometry proteomics and bioinformatics were used to analyze the differential proteins in gastric cancer cells before and after intervention;Western blot and qPCR experiments were used to detect the expression level of dif-ferential protein isocitrate dehydrogenase 1(IDH1),and ubiquitination experiments were used to detect the ubiquitination level of IDH1;kits were used to detect the levels of α-ketoglutarate(α-KG),NADPH/NADP+,glutathione(GSH/GSSG)and reactive oxy-gen species(ROS)content.RESULTS The anoikis rate of gastric cancer cells was reduced after TAM exosomes intervention(P<0.05,P<0.01),while it was significantly increased after TAM+JPYZ exosomes intervention(P<0.05,P<0.01).In the in vivo mouse experiment,the ratio of Cleaved Caspase-3/Caspase-3 in the tumor of the TAM exosome group was reduced(P<0.05),while the ra-tio was significantly increased after TAM+JPYZ exosome intervention(P<0.05).Proteomic analysis showed that IDH1 was significant-ly different after intervention,and was related to tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism.Compared with the M0 group,the IDH1 ubiquiti-nation level of gastric cancer cells in the TAM group with exosome intervention was increased,the levels of α-KG,NADPH/NADP+and GSH/GSSG were significantly increased,and the ROS content was reduced(P<0.05),while TAM+JPYZ exosomes could reverse the above phenomenon.CONCLUSION JPYZ Formula can regulate TAM exosomes to cause ubiquitin degradation of IDH1 in gas-tric cancer cells,reduce the level of tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism in gastric cancer cells,promote ROS accumulation,induce anoikis in gastric cancer,and thus inhibit the development of gastric cancer.
