ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of gingerol， an active component of ginger， on Staphylococcus aureus （S. aureus） infection， and to preliminarily explore its mechanism related to extracellular vesicles （EVs）. MethodsS.aureus infection models were established in human umbilical vein endothelial cell （HUVECs）， Vero E6 cells， and C57BL/6 mice. Experimental groups included control， infection， and gingerol-treated groups. Bacterial load and VE-cadherin protein expression were detected using immunofluorescence and Western blot. EVs were isolated by size exclusion chromatography and characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking analysis. miRNA sequencing was performed on EVs. ResultsGingerol treatment significantly reduced the bacterial load in both in vitro and in vivo infection models and upregulated VE-cadherin expression. miRNA sequencing of EVs revealed that S. aureus infection upregulated the expression of hsa-miR-320c， while gingerol treatment reversed this abnormal expression. Bioinformatic analysis further predicted that the target genes of hsa-miR-320c were significantly enriched in cell junction-related pathways. ConclusionGingerol exhibits clear antibacterial and host-protective effects， by regulating hsa-miR-320c in EVs to maintain endothelial barrier integrity.

Objective To assess the level of research integrity awareness among clinical nursing personnel in Yunnan Province,analyze the influencing factors,and identify related risks.Methods From June 2025 to July 2025,a research integrity awareness questionnaire was conducted on 697 clinical nursing personnel from a university-affiliated tumor hospital and children's hospital using the Questionnaire Star platform.The survey content included basic information,research integrity awareness status,research integrity construction awareness,and the causes of research misconduct.Data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0.Results The research integrity awareness score of clinical nursing personnel was(47.49±11.06),with an overall awareness rate of 51.48%.Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in awareness scores based on nursing categories(t=-2.45),marital status(F=5.557),age(F=2.735),work experience(F=4.775),highest education level(F=13.11),whether serving as a master's supervisor(t=2.693),participation in research projects(t=4.95),whether they had published papers as the first author or corresponding author(t=5.11),and attendance of research integrity training(t=12.48)(P<0.05).Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that marital status,highest education level,and participation in research integrity training were significant factors influencing clinical nursing personnel's research integrity awareness(P<0.05).The main reason for research misconduct was lack of research integrity awareness The(76.47%),and 92.37%of clinical nursing personnel believed further strengthening of research integrity construction was necessary.Conclusion The research integrity awareness level of clinical nursing personnel needs improvement.Hospitals should enhance research integrity training,improve research integrity management systems,and optimize scientific talent evaluation mechanisms.

Background Pneumoconiosis is the most serious occupational disease in China, among which silicosis accounts for more than 50%. microRNA (miRNA) plays an important role in the occurrence process of silicosis fibrosis, but the mechanism of it has not been fully clarified yet. Objective To explore the molecular mechanism by which miR-411-3p modulates the ubiquitination degradation of SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase (SMURF) 2/Smad7, thereby suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in mouse alveolar type II epithelial cells and counteracting silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Twenty-four 8-week-old SPF male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into four groups: Control group, silica group, silica +miR-411-3p agomir-NC group, and silica +miR-411-3p agomir group, with 6 mice in each group. Silicosis model was prepared by a one-time bronchial infusion of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) (200 mg·mL^-1, 50 μL). In vitro MLE-12 cells were divided into (1) control group and SiO₂ group, (2) SiO₂+negative control siRNA (siRNA-NC) group and SiO₂+Smurf2 gene silencing (si-Smurf2) group, (3) SiO₂+solvent (DMSO) group and SiO₂+protease inhibitor (MG132) group, (4) mutant sequence plasmid (Mut)+miR-411-3p mimic control (miR-NC) group, Mut+miR-411-3p mimic group, wild sequence plasmid (Wt)+miR-NC group, and Wt+miR-411-3p mimic group, (5) SiO₂+miR-NC group and SiO₂+miR-411-3p mimic group. The pathological morphology and collagen deposition of lung tissue were observed after staining. Detection of miR-411-3p and proteins was conducted by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western blot. The binding of SMURF2 to Smad7 protein and Smad7 to ubiquitin (Ub) were detected by co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) method. Dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was adopted to verify the regulatory effect of miR-411-3p on Smurf2. Results In the SiO₂-induced MLE-12 cells, compared to the control group, the SiO₂-treated group showed significantly upregulated expressions of N-cadherin (N-Cad), collagen I (CoL I), SMURF2, transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), and phosphorylated Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3). In contrast, the expressions of E-cadherin (E-Cad), Smad7, and miR-411-3p were significantly downregulated (P<0.05). The dual-luciferase reporter gene assay revealed a regulatory effect of miR-411-3p on Smurf2 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, in the MLE-12 cells induced by SiO₂, the miR-411-3p mimic down-regulated the protein expressions of SMURF2, N-Cad, CoL I, TGF-β1, and p-Smad2/3, while up-regulated the protein expressions of E-Cad and Smad7 (P<0.05). The silenced Smurf2 gene inhibited the expressions of N-Cad, CoL I, and p-Smad2/3 proteins, while promoted the expressions of E-Cad and Smad7 proteins in the MLE-12 cells (P<0.05). The Co-IP results showed that the binding of SMURF2 to Smad7 was enhanced, and the ubiquitin binding ability of Smad7 was enhanced in the SiO₂ group. In the lung tissue of mice, the results of pathological observation with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and sirius red (VG) staining showed that compared with the agomir-NC, the lesion was relieved in the lung tissue of the miR-411-3p agomir group. Meanwhile, the expressions of SMURF2, N-Cad, CoL I, TGF-β1, and p-Smad2/3 were significantly down-regulated, while the expressions of E-Cad and Smad7 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). Conclusion MiR-411-3p alleviates the EMT of alveolar type II epithelial cells and antagonizes silicosis fibrosis progression in mice by inhibiting SMURF2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of Smad7.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors and action paths of frailty in elderly patients with col-orectal cancer,so as to provide a theoretical clinical intervention.Methods A convenience sampling method was adopted.A total of 254 elderly patients with colorectal cancer who were scheduled for elective surgery in a tertiary A hospital in Shanxi Province from March 2023 to September 2024 were selected as the research subjects.General information questionnaires,Fried frailty phenotype,Perceived Ageism Scale,Multidimensional Assessment Scale of In-teroceptive Awareness Version 2-Chinese,Cancer Patient Self-Management Assessment Scale,and Anderson Symptom Inventory were used for the investigation,and a structural equation model was constructed.Results The incidence of frailty in elderly colorectal cancer patients before surgery is 38.98％.Anderson Symptom Assessment and Per-ceived Ageism were positively correlated with frailty(r=0.534,0.568,P＜0.01),while interoceptive sensitivity and the self-management level were negatively correlated with frailty(r=-0.444,-0.659,P＜0.01).Self-management behavior had only a direct effect on patients' frailty(β=-0.349,P＜0.001),while Anderson Symptom Assessment,perceived age discrimination and interoceptive sensitivity had both direct and indirect effects on patients' frailty(direct effects β=0.235,0.287,-0.220;indirect effects β=0.147,0.090,-0.113;all P＜0.001).Conclusion The incidence of frailty in elderly patients with colorectal cancer before surgery is high.Attention should be paid to patients who are elderly,female and have a low level of education.Medical staff can take targeted measures to enhance patients' interocep-tive concentration and stability,so that patients can better monitor and regulate their bodies and emotions,and im-prove their health-promoting decisions and behaviors.At the same time,attention should also be paid to the prob-lem of age discrimination to create a good medical environment for patients.

The prevention and control of health-associated infections are essential for safeguarding patients and im-proving medical quality during the process of medical service.Real-time and effective prevention and control meas-ures can not only remarkably reduce the risk of infections among the patients and health care workers but also are the essential conditions for high-quality medical service.As a convenient,rapid and highly efficient onsite diagnos-tic tool,point-of-care testing(POCT)can rapidly identify the source of infection and start precise control inter-ventions at the spot of infection,which may remarkably reduce the incidence of health-associated infection.In ad-dition,the real-time prevention and control strategies for infections can provide guidance for appropriate treatment of infections,reduce the emergence and transmission of drug-resistant strains,improve the prognosis of patients and further cut the overall medical cost.

Objective To determine the scores of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury(DILI)using Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method(RUCAM),Maria&Victorino assessment scale,and Revised Electronic Causality Assessment Method(RECAM),to compare the accuracy of the three scales in diagnosis,and to investigate their clinical significance in the diagnosis of DILI.Methods A total of 98 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of DILI who were hospitalized in Peking University First Hospital from January 2011 to December 2022 were enrolled,with liver biopsy results supporting DILI and a clear history of medication.Clinical data were collected from all subjects,and the above causality assessment scales were used for scoring.The chi-square test was used to analyze the diagnostic accuracy of the causality assessment scales,and the weighted kappa coefficient was used to analyze the consistency between the three scales.Results For all patients with DILI enrolled,RECAM had the highest accuracy,with a significant difference compared with RUCAM(χ2=5.667,P=0.017).RUCAM and RECAM had moderate consistency in diagnosis(κw=0.469),while RECAM and Maria&Victorino scale had poor consistency(κw=0.156).For the patients with acute DILI,RECAM,RUCAM,and Maria&Victorino scales had a diagnostic inconsistency rate of 3.7%,11.1%,and 42.6%,respectively;for the patients with hepatocellular type DILI,the three scales of a diagnostic inconsistency rate of 8.9%,21.4%,and 62.5%,respectively;for the patients with cholestasis type or mixed type DILI,the three scales of a diagnostic inconsistency rate of 10.0%,22.5%,and 47.5%,respectively.Conclusion The use of RECAM and RUCAM scales in acute DILI can improve diagnostic rate,and for hepatocellular type DILI and DILI with the clinical manifestation of cholestasis(cholestasis type DILI and mixed type DILI),the use of RECAM and RUCAM scales can also improve diagnostic rate.The selection of causality assessment scales with a relatively high accuracy based on the course and clinical classification of the disease may help to further improve clinical diagnostic rate.

Objective:To compare the differences in surgical safety and postoperative cosmetic effects between endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction and conventional nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate subpectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction.Methods:The clinical data of early breast cancer patients admitted to the Department of Breast Surgery of Peking University Peoples Hospital from Oct 1, 2022 to Sep 13, 2023 was retrospectively analyzed.Results:According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into endoscopic surgery group (30 cases) and traditional surgery group (46 cases). There were no significant differences in the basic clinicopathological data, and the number of sentinel lymph nodes taken and axillary lymph nodes dissected between the patients in two groups (all P>0.05). Compared with that in traditional surgery group, the patients in endoscopic surgery group had longer operation time and more wound drainage volumes 3 days after surgery (all P<0.05). There was no significant differences in the probability of postoperative complications between the patients in two groups (all P>0.05), however, the proportion of nipple-areola complex necrosis in patients of endoscopic surgery group (10.0%) was lower than that of traditional surgery group (26.1%). Conclusions:The single-port insufflation technique-assisted endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate prepectoral prosthesis breast reconstruction maximize the cosmetic effect. Under the premise of strict selection of indications, it can be an optional surgical method.

Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of anxiety and flow experience on perceived stress and mobile phone addiction in nursing college students.Methods:In December 2021, a cross-sectional design survey was conducted on 4 179 freshmen and sophomores in a nursing college in Heilongjiang Province. The Chinese perceived stress scale, generalized anxiety disorder-7, flow state scale, and mobile phone addiction tendency scale were selected separately to assess perceived stress, anxiety symptoms, flow experience and mobile phone addiction. SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 software was used for mediating effect test. Results:(1) Among the 3 050 nursing students, there were 714(23.41%) students who were addicted to mobile phones. (2) Spearman correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress(27.31±9.56) was positively correlated with anxiety(7.00(1.00, 10.00), r=0.441, P<0.05), flow experience((12.00±3.40), r=0.517, P<0.05), and mobile phone addiction((42.42±13.05), r=0.476, P<0.05).Anxiety was positively correlated with flow experience ( r=0.430, P<0.01) and mobile phone addiction ( r=0.538, P<0.01).Flow experience was positively correlated with mobile phone addiction ( r=0.490, P<0.01). (3) Anxiety and flow experience played seperate mediating and chain mediating roles between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction, accounting for 26.06%(0.165/0.633), 23.54%(0.149/0.633) and 3.48%(0.022/0.633) of the total effect. Conclusion:Perceived stress not only directly affects the mobile phone addiction of nursing students, but also indirectly affects mobile phone addiction through the independent and chain mediating effects of anxiety and flow experience.
