ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of the anti-cancer compound formula Feiyanning in inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT） and invasion and metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC）. MethodsCell proliferation and activity were assessed using the cell counting kit-8（CCK-8） assay to evaluate the effect of Feiyanning on the proliferation of A549 and H1299 cells. Wound healing and Transwell assays were conducted to examine Feiyanning's impact on the metastasis of A549 and H1299 cells. The effects of Feiyanning on EMT and the transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁）/Smad signaling pathway proteins in A549 and H1299 cells were detected by Western blot. Exogenous TGF-β₁ was used to induce EMT in A549 and H1299 cells. The effects of Feiyanning on TGF-β₁-induced NSCLC cell metastasis， EMT， and the TGF-β₁/Smad pathway proteins were assessed by wound healing assay， Transwell assay， and Western blot. In vivo， an A549 lung metastasis model was established via tail vein injection in nude mice. A total of 28 SPF male nude mice were randomly divided into four groups： Model （NC） group， Feiyanning low-dose （FYN1） group， Feiyanning high-dose （FYN2） group， and the positive control group （TGF-β receptor kinase inhibitor SB431542 group）. The corresponding interventions were performed. After 40 days， the mice were euthanized， and lung metastases were analyzed. The expression of E-cadherin， N-cadherin， p-Smad2， and p-Smad3 in each group was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. ResultsAfter Feiyanning intervention， compared to the blank group， Feiyanning inhibited the proliferation of A549 and H1299 cells in a concentration-dependent manner （P<0.01）. The metastasis ability of Feiyanning-treated cells was significantly decreased compared to the blank group （P<0.01）. The expression of EMT marker proteins N-cadherin and zinc finger transcription factors （Zeb1， Snail， Slug） was significantly reduced in the Feiyanning groups compared to the blank group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expression of p-Smad2/3， Smad2/3， TβRI， and TβRⅡ， key proteins in the TGF-β₁/Smad signaling pathway， was also significantly decreased （P<0.01）. In the TGF-β₁-induced EMT model， compared to the TGF-β₁ group， the cell metastasis ability in the Feiyanning groups was reduced （P<0.01）， and the expression levels of N-cadherin， Zeb1， Snail， and Slug were significantly lower （P<0.01）. The expression levels of p-Smad2/3， Smad2/3， TβRI， and TβRⅡ were also significantly reduced （P<0.01）. In vivo results showed that compared to the model group， the number of lung metastases in the FYN1， FYN2， and SB431542 groups was reduced （P<0.01）， and the range of cell infiltration was narrowed. Immunohistochemical results showed that compared to the model group， the expression of E-cadherin in the FYN1， FYN2， and SB431542 groups was increased （P<0.01）， the expression of N-cadherin decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the expression of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3， key proteins of the TGF-β₁/Smad pathway， was reduced （P<0.01）. ConclusionFeiyanning inhibits the invasion and metastasis of NSCLC cells and EMT. The mechanism is related to the inhibition of TGF-β₁/Smad signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To explore the role of clinical pharmacists participating in the standardized perioperative nutritional management process for pancreaticoduodenectomy （PD） on improving postoperative recovery in patients. METHODS The clinical data of 100 patients undergoing PD in the Department of Biliary and Pancreatic Surgery， Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University School of Medicine from November 2019 to February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. According to the different perioperative nutrition management plans， they were divided into clinical pharmacist intervention group （n＝51， clinical pharmacists intervened according to the standardized nutrition management process） and control group （n＝49， clinical pharmacists only performed preoperative nutrition evaluation， and clinical physicians took nutrition support according to the patient’s condition）. The differences in postoperative recovery index， economic evaluation index， hospitalization length， postoperative complications， and postoperative enteral nutrition support route were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS The time of postoperative diet， the first postoperative ventilation， the first postoperative defecation， and postoperative drainage time of abdominal drain were significantly earlier in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group （P＜0.05）； the hospitalization cost， medication cost， nutritional support cost， parenteral nutrition cost， albumin preparation cost， and the length of postoperative hospitalization were significantly lower/shorter in the clinical pharmacist intervention group than in the control group （P＜0.05）； there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups （P＞0.05）； there was statistically significant difference in the perioperative enteral nutrition support pathways between two groups （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists’ participation in perioperative nutritional management for PD can significantly reduce hospitalization costs and nutritional support costs， improve patients’ perioperative nutritional status， and shorten hospital stays. wanglina668@163.com

Objective To construct an evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing deep vein thrombosis(DVT)and provide a scientific and targeted theoretical basis for nurses to carry out evidence-based nursing practice in DVT prevention.Methods Based on the previous evidence-based nursing practice project on DVT prevention after hip and knee arthroplasty,the research team used theoretical analysis and brainstorming to develop a draft of the work model.Expert meetings were organized to validate the content of the draft using the Delphi method,leading to the finalization of the evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing DVT.Results The Knowledge-to-Action(KTA)framework was selected as the basic framework for constructing the evidence-based nursing practice model for preventing DVT.Theoretical Domain Framework,Theory of Planned Behavior,and Social Cognitive Theory were chosen to explore the influencing factors of nurses'behavior change in preventing DVT through evidence-based practice.The authority coefficient of the participating experts was 0.904,indicating high reliability.The final model consisted of 6 key components:knowledge generation,problem identification,localization and adaptation,knowledge application,sustained knowledge use,and conceptual framework for behavior change through evidence-based practice.Conclusion Based on theoretical analysis and clinical practice,this study developed an evidence-based practice model for nurses in preventing DVT using the expert meeting.The research methodology was scientific,and the content was reliable,providing a theoretical basis for nurses to engage in evidence-based nursing practice for DVT prevention.

AIM:To investigate the effects of mitogen-inducible gene 6(MIG6)overexpression on palmitic acid(PA)-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated steatosis in hepatocytes.METHODS:A mouse model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis was established by feeding twenty C57BL/6J mice a high-fat diet for 26 weeks.The mice were ran-domly divided into two groups:normal diet control group and high-fat diet group,and their livers were retained for subse-quent experiments.The PA was used to induce lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells and AML12 cells,and the cells were di-vided into two groups:BSA(10%BSA)group and PA(500 μmol/L PA)group.The MIG6 overexpression was induced by transfecting HepG2 and AML12 cells with human and mouse MIG6 overexpression plasmids,respectively.The cells were divided into four groups according to their different treatment conditions:(1)negatiive+BSA group(transfected with nega-tive control plasmid+10%BSA);(2)MIG6+BSA group(transfected with MIG6 overexpression plasmid+10%BSA);(3)negative+PA group(transfected with negative control plasmid+500 μmol/L PA);(4)MIG6+PA group(transfected with MIG6 overexpression plasmid+500 μmol/L PA).Lipid accumulation in hepatocytes was assessed by oil red O staining,and RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expression level of MIG6 in liver tissues.The protein levels of MIG6,lipid synthesis-related molecules fatty acid synthase(FASN)and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1(SREBP1),and endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78)and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)in hepatocytes were detected using Western blot.RESULTS:High-fat diet increased the triglyceride content in the liver tissue of C57BL/6J mice induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes and suppressed the mRNA expression level of MIG6(P<0.01).PA intervention increased the protein levels of lipid synthesis-related molecules such as FASN and SREBP1,and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers GRP78 and CHOP in hepatocytes,but inhibited MIG6 protein levels(P<0.01).We transfected hepatocytes with MIG6 overexpression plasmid,which significantly increased MIG6 protein levels,decreased GRP78 and CHOP protein levels in hepatocytes(P<0.01),significantly attenuated PA-induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes,and down-regulated FASN and SREBP1 protein levels(P<0.01).These results indicate that MIG6 overexpression inhibited PA-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress and attenuated lipid accumulation in hepato-cytes.CONCLUSION:Overexpression of MIG6 inhibits lipid accumulation in hepatocytes by suppressing endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Objective:To explore the cognition and intention of patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to participate in patient-reported outcomes (PROs), so as to provide references for the promotion, application, and practice of PROs in lower limb DVT patients in China.Methods:This study adopted the phenomenological qualitative research method. From February to June 2023, 13 lower limb DVT patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital were selected for semi-structured in-depth interviews. Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used for analyzing and summarizing data.Results:Thirteen patients with lower limb DVT highly recognized their own value in participating in PROs, namely health benefits, prevention of DVT complications, and reduction of disease uncertainty. Lower limb DVT patients expected to receive support from healthcare professionals, families, and portable and simplified reporting formats to promote their participation in PROs. From the patient 's own perspective, they perceived that insufficient attention to DVT caused by lack of awareness of the hazards of DVT and limited understanding of PROs made it difficult for them to participate in PROs. Conclusions:Lower limb DVT patients have a high intention to participate in PROs. The application and promotion of PROs in lower limb DVT patients in China require joint support from various sectors of society, among which strengthening effective health education for patients and their families and providing multi-channel reporting forms are the key to promoting of PROs.
