Objective To construct a telemedicine-based home care system of palliative care for end-of-life cancer patients,and to evaluate its application effect.Methods The construction of the system was based on the literature research,interview results of the patients and their caregivers,and expert group meeting discussions.From May to August 2023,a total of 88 patients,who were about to be discharged from the palliative care ward of a cancer hospital in Hunan Province,were selected as the study subjects using a convenient sampling method,and then they were divided into an experimental group and a control group according to the order of admission.The experimental group was given home care services based on the system,while the control group was given routine discharge guidance and follow-up visits.The duration of the intervention was 8 weeks.The Chinese version of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale and the Chinese version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 15 palliative were used to evaluate the symptom burden and quality of life between 2 groups before and after intervention;the Telemedicine Satisfaction Questionnaire was used to evaluate the care satisfaction of the experimental group.Results The system of patient side includes 8 main features,namely personal health record establishment,doctor-patient communication,palliative care knowledge library,medication assistance,smart reporting and monitoring,intelligent Q&A,intelligent follow-up,and intelligent forms.The healthcare professional side includes 7 main functions,namely workbench,case management,follow-up management,warning reminder,popularization push,statistical analysis and user management.A total of 67 patients completed the intervention,with 33 in the experimental group and 34 in the control group.The symptom burden of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group(P＜0.05);the quality of life in the experimental group was better than that in the control group(P＜0.05);the score of care satisfaction was(59.00±6.66),which indicated a high level of satisfaction.Conclusion The system can reduce the symptom burden and improve the quality of life of end-of-life cancer patients with good practicality

OBJECTIVE To investigate the treatment plan for az treonam-resistant metallo- β-lactamase（MBL）-producing Enterobacteriaceae infection in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients. METHODS The clinical data of aztreonam-resistant MBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae caused intra-abdominal infection of an infant after liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Abdominal infection occurred after operation. The pathogenic bacterium was MBL-producing K. pneumoniae . The drug sensitivity results showed that the infant was resistant to aztreonam. Based on the results of sensitivity test ，polymyxin B combined with tigecycline were selected as initial regimen. The treatment effect was poor ，with recurrent disease and shock spots. The clinical pharmacist assisted the clinician to formulate treatment regimen of ceftazidime avibactam 0.5 g，q8 h combined with aztreonam 0.18 g，q6 h. Relevant domestic and foreign literature were reviewed ，and the treatment plan of MBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae infection after solid organ transplantation was summarized. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The infant was finally cured and discharged with ceftazidime avibatan combined and aztreonam. Several foreign literature reported that ceftazidime avibactam combined with aztreonam could effectively treat the infection caused by aztreonam-resistant MBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae infection in patients with organ transplantation. It is expected to be an effective treatment for aztreonam-resistant MBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae infection in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser combined with a topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng in the treatment of melasma. Methods:A total of 80 patients with melasma were enrolled from Department of Dermatology, People′s Hospital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from June 2019 to June 2020, and randomly and equally divided into control group and observation group by using a random number table: 40 patients in the control group were treated with long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser once every 2 weeks for 6 sessions as a course of treatment; another 40 in the observation group were treated with the same laser therapy as the control group and a topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng twice a day for 3 months as a course of treatment. Melasma area and severity index (MASI), clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction rate and safety were compared between the 2 groups before and/or after treatment. Results:After 4- and 8-week treatment, there was no significant difference in the MASI score between the observation group (14.57 ± 3.22 points, 10.00 ± 2.94 points, respectively) and control group (14.74 ± 3.11 points, 11.31 ± 3.00 points, respectively; both P>0.05). After 12-week treatment, the MASI score was significantly lower in the observation group (4.80 ± 2.78 points) than in the control group (7.07 ± 3.22 points, t = -3.38, P<0.01). After 3-month treatment, the response rate was significantly higher in the observation group (36 cases, 90%) than in the control group (31 cases, 77.5%; χ2 = 4.58, P < 0.001) ; however, there was no significant difference in the patient satisfaction rate between the observation group (87.5%) and control group (72.5%, χ2 = 7.26, P = 0.06). In addition, no significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions was observed between the observation group (5 cases, 12.5%) and control group (7 cases, 17.5%; P > 0.05) . Conclusion:Compared with the long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser alone, the topical emulsion containing Camellia reticulata and Radix Notoginseng in combination with the long-pulsed 1 064-nm Nd:YAG laser is more effective for the treatment of melasma, with higher patient satisfaction and less adverse reactions.

Objective:To explore the impact of pediatric nurses' presenteeism behavior and emotional commitment on psychological capital, so as to provide a reference for promoting pediatric nurses' positive organizational behaviors.Methods:From July to August 2020, convenience sampling was used to select pediatric nurses from three ClassⅢ hospitals in Henan Province as the research objects. The general information questionnaire, Presenteeism Behavior Questionnaire, Emotional Commitment Scale and Psychological Capital Scale were used for investigation. Pearson correlation and structural equation model were used to analyze the relationship between presenteeism behavior, emotional commitment and psychological capital. A total of 897 questionnaires were distributed, and 673 valid questionnaires were returned with the effective response rate of 75.03%.Results:Among 673 pediatric nurses, the scores of the Presenteeism Behavior Questionnaire, Emotional Commitment Scale and Psychological Capital Scale were (6.16±1.52) , (28.26±5.67) and (81.40±10.60) respectively. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that presenteeism behavior was negatively correlated with emotional commitment and psychological capital ( P<0.05) , and emotional commitment was positively correlated with psychological capital ( P<0.01) , and the differences were statistically significant. The structural equation model showed that presenteeism behavior and emotional commitment had a direct effect on psychological capital (effect values were -0.32 and 0.42, respectively) , and presenteeism behavior also had an indirect effect on psychological capital through emotional commitment (effect value was -0.48) . Conclusions:Emotional commitment acts as an intermediary between presenteeism behavior and psychological capital. Nursing managers should take effective measures to create a good organizational atmosphere, reduce presenteeism behavior, and improve the psychological capital of pediatric nurses.

Objective:To analyze the current status of recessive absence of pediatric nurses and to explore the relationship between recessive absence of pediatric nurses and magnetic nursing work environment and psychological empowerment.Methods:A cross-sectional survey method was adopted, pediatric nurses from Henan Children's Hospital and Henan Provincial People's Hospital from March to May 2019 were selected as research objects by the convenience method. The general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Essentials of Magnetism ScaleⅡ (EMOⅡ) , the Chinese version of the Psychological Empowerment Scale (PES) and the Chinese version of the Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) were used to investigate them. Pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were used to analyze the relationship between recessive absence of pediatric nurses and magnetic nursing work environment and psychological empowerment. A total of 465 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 452 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 97.2%.Results:The total scores of the Chinese version of EMO Ⅱ, the Chinese version of PES and SPS-6 of 452 pediatric nurses were respectively (129.21±11.64) , (38.91±7.04) and (17.42±4.21) . The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that recessive absence of pediatric nurses was negatively correlated with magnetic nursing work environment and psychological empowerment ( P<0.05) . The univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the scores of the Chinese version of the SPS-6 scale for pediatric nurses with different ages, marital statuses, job titles and average night shifts per month ( P<0.05) . The results of hierarchical regression analysis showed that gender, marital status and the average night shifts per month in the demographic data all affected the recessive absence of pediatric nurses. After controlling demographic data, the better the working environment of magnetic nursing, the lower the level of recessive absence, which could independently explain 35.7% of the total variation. And the higher the level of psychological empowerment, the lower the level of recessive absence, which can independently explain 40.4% of the total variation. Conclusions:The phenomenon of recessive absences in pediatric nurses is more obvious, which is closely related to magnetic nursing work environment and psychological empowerment. Nursing managers should improve the magnetic nursing working environment and the level of psychological empowerment to reduce the level of recessive absence of pediatric nurses and improve the quality of nursing.

Objective: To study the effect of apoptosis-stimulating protein 2 of p53 (ASPP2) on the activation and apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF - β1), and to explore the role of autophagy in this process. Methods: Mouse hepatic stellate cells were primarily isolated and cultured with green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing empty vector adenovirus (Ad-GFP) and ASPP2 expressing adenovirus (Ad-ASPP2) for 12 h by transfection kit, and then treated with TGF-β1 (10ng/ml) for 24 h. The experiments were grouped as follows: control group: green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing empty vector adeno (Ad-GFP); experimental group 1: transfected with Ad-GFP and added with TGF-β1; experimental group 2: transfected with Ad-ASPP2 and induced by TGF-β1. Western blot and quantitative fluorescence PCR were used to detect the expression of ASPP2, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA). At the same time, autophagy was determined by microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-β (LC3). Autophagy and apoptosis of MHSc were observed by immunocytochemistry and RNA interference (RNAi). Multiple pairwise-comparisons between the mean of groups was performed by one-way ANOVA. Results: The relative expression of α-SMA mRNA in mHSC of TGF-β1 + Ad-GFP group (16.83 ± 2.41) was significantly higher than Ad-GFP group (3.62 ± 0.56) (P < 0.05), while the relative expression of α-SMA mRNA (4.22 ± 0.48) in TGF-β1 + Ad-GFP group was significantly lower than TGF-β1 + Ad-GFP group (P < 0.05). The expression of α-SMA protein in each group was consistent with mRNA expression. The proportion of mHSC autophagy in TGF-β1 + Ad-GFP group (80%) was significantly higher than Ad-GFP group (35%); however, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The proportion of mHSC autophagy in TGF-β1 + Ad-ASPP2 group was 42%, which was significantly lower than TGF-β1 + Ad-GFP group, but the apoptotic rate was significantly increased. Cells were simultaneously treated with autophagy inhibitors 3-MA and TGF-β1. The level of autophagy was not statistically significantly different from that of TGF-β1 + Ad-ASPP2 group, but the apoptotic rate was increased. In addition, the RNAi group added with ASPP2 had increased autophagy (LC3-II/LC3-I) than control RNAi group, and the rate of apoptosis was significantly decreased. Conclusion Overexpression of ASPP2 can alleviate the activation of mHSC and promote the apoptosis of HSC by inhibiting autophagy, so as to alleviate liver fibrosis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of the function and gene polymorphism of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to provide a new perspective for T2DM drug development. METHODS: Relevant literatures included in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, SpringerLink and other databases from Jan. 1991 to Nov. 2017 were retrieved by using "Insulin receptor substrate" "Type 2 diabetes" "Insulin resistance" "Polymorphism" as Chinese keywords, and "Insulin receptor substrate" "IRS" "Type 2 diabetes" "Insulin resistance" "Polymorphism" as English keywords. The relationship of the function and gene polymorphism of IRS family with T2DM was reviewed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: A total of 328 literatures were retrieved, of which there were 38 valid literatures. At present, IRS family has six members (IRS-1 to IRS-6). The dysfunction of IRS-1 and IRS-2 will lead to insulin resistance and induce T2DM. The relationship of IRS-3 and IRS-4 with T2DM remains controversial. IRS-5 and IRS-6 were newly found and their functions are not clear. The Gly972Arg mutation of IRS-1 is positively correlated with the pathogenesis of T2DM. Gly1057Asp mutation of IRS-2 combined with obesity can induce insulin resistance, but there is controversy. The mutation types of IRS family other members include Ala94Thr, Ala512Pro and Ser892Gly mutation of IRS-1, ACC, Ala157Thr and Leu647Val mutation of IRS-2. The relationship between these types of mutation and T2DM has not yet been fully supported. Multiracial and large-scale studies are required. Some achievements have been made in the present study, but the study is not yet comprehensive. Relationship of IRS family members and their mutation sites with T2DM still needs to be further tested in the expanded population.

Objective To investigate the risks of self-rated health in the ≥55-year elderly in Beijing and the occurrence of stroke.Methods The subjects (n=2 101;aged ≥55) from Beijing longitudinal study of aging (BLSA) were collected by Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 1992 to December 2016.One hundred and twenty-one subjects with stroke at baseline and 92 with incomplete information were excluded,and finally,1 888 elderly patients without cerebrovascular disease at baseline were included in the analysis.Based on the actual situation,the self-rated health was to identify an item that matched their current state from good,general to poor.The deadline for the survey was December 31,2012.The competitive risk model was used to assess the health self-rated status and the risk of stroke.Non-stroke deaths,including cancer and car accidents were treated as competitive events.Results Of the 1 888 subjects enrolled,946 (50.1%) self-rated health were good,616 (32.6%) were general,and 326 (17.3%) were poor;438 (23.2%) had stroke,751 (37.8%) had non-stroke death,and 699 (37.0%) were right censored data.Using the competing risk model and adjusting the age,sex,living area,marital status,education level,smoking,alcohol consumption,physical exercise,hypertension,diabetes mellitus,coronary heart disease,and body mass index,the occurrence of stroke in patients with poor self-rated health was 1.44 times (95%CI 1.11-1.87,P<0.01) as good as those who were good.Conclusion In the self-rated health of the elderly ≥55 years old in Beijing,the people with poor self-rated health increased the occurrence of stroke after considering the competitive risks.

Objective To study the effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with sublethal temperature on the production of liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) and on the expression of LCSCs-related transcriptional factors.Methods Mouse hepl-6 hepatoma cell line and clinical samples of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were used to test the expressions of LCSCs-related markers and transcriptional factors.Results Different temperatures were used to stimulate Hep1-6 cells,and it was proved that the temperature of 45℃ was a sublethal temperature that could not induce cell death.Flow cytometry testing showed that treatment with 45℃ could obviously increase CD13+,CD44+,CD90 and CD133+ Hep1-6 cells,suggesting that treatment with 45℃ could increase the production of above mentioned types of LCSCs in hep1-6 cells.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) assay indicated that the temperature of 45℃could cause significant increase in CD13,CD90 and CD133 mRNA.In all 5 HCC patients,CD13 mRNA in the recurrent HCC lesions was remarkably increased,CD133 mRNA was increased in 4 patients with recurrent HCC,and CD90 mRNA was increased in only one patient with recurrent HCC.Flow cytometry testing revealed that CD13+ LCSCs were strikingly increased in 4 recurrent HCC patients,while CD133+LCSC was increased in only one patient,suggesting that more close correlation existed between the increase of CD13+ LCSCs and the temperature of 45℃.RT-qPCR assay showed that in 4 recurrent HCC patients with increased CD13+ LCSC,the Sox2 and Stat2 among 13 LCSCs-related transcriptional factors were obviously increased.Flow cytometry testing showed that 45℃ treatment also increased the expression of Sox2 and Stat1 mRNA in Hep1-6 cells.Finally,Sox2 and Stat1 could be knockdown by siRNAs,indicating that both Sox2 and Stat1 transcriptional factors were involved in 45℃-induced production of CD13+ LCSCs in Hep1-6 cells.Conclusion In RFA therapy,the use of sublethal temperature of 45℃ can increase CD13+LCSCs,which is related to the promotion of Sox2 and Stat1 expression.The results of this study can be used for reference in the research of liver cancer recurrence.
