Children， as a special group， frequently experience of off-label drug use worldwide. Common reasons for off-label drug use in children include the lack of data on pediatric patients during the clinical trial stage of drug development， delayed updates to drug instructions， and the non-standard professional behavior of some doctors. Off-label drug use in children is a double-edged sword. It could save lives and provide a way to explore additional functions of drugs， while it may also lead to the phenomenon of hyper-indication abuse， increasing the risk of adverse drug events. Regulating off-label drug use in children can safeguard the best treatment rights and interests of children. It is recommended to encourage pharmaceutical enterprises to conduct research and development of pediatric new drugs， simplify the approval process for drug instructions amendments， accumulate evidence-based medical evidence for off-label drug use in children， standardize the process of off-label drug use in children in medical institutions， continuously improve the standardized diagnosis and treatment capabilities of pediatricians， and actively cooperate with the families of pediatric patients in diagnosis and treatment， so as to comprehensively safeguard the rights and interests of both doctors and patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between self-assessed health and age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index （AICC） in older adults， and to further analyze the differences in this relationship across gender groups. MethodsBased on the China health and retirement longitudinal study （CHARLS） database， this study selected data on basic characteristics， chronic disease status， depressive symptoms， and self-assessed health of older adults aged ≥60 years. Chi-square tests were used to perform a preliminary analysis of the association between these factors and AICC scores. A multifactorial ordered logistic regression model was constructed to assess the effects of each influencing factor on AICC， while multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the linear relationship between self-rated health and AICC scores. Additionally. Stratified analysis by gender was performed to evaluate gender differences. ResultsA total of 10 911 participants were included， with a mean age of 67.40±5.94 years； 6 249 （57.3%） were male and 4 662（42.7%） were female. The distribution of AICC scores was categorized into low-risk， moderate-risk， higher-risk， and high-risk groups， accounting for 23.5%， 50.2%， 20.6%， and 5.7%， respectively. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that self-rated health was negatively associated with AICC in the total population and in the male geriatric group （OR=0.843， 95% CI： 0.776， 0.917， P=0.001）， （OR=0.886， 95% CI： 0.796 ， 0.987， P=0.028）， but did not reach statistical significance in the female geriatric group . Linear regression analysis further indicated a significant negative linear relationship between self-rated health and AICC （b=-0.485， 95% CI： -0.516，-0.455， P＜0.001）.This relationship was consistent in both male （b=-0.356， 95% CI： -0.406，-0.305， P＜0.001） and female （b=-0.373， 95% CI： -0.435，-0.310， P＜0.001） subgroups， with a stronger negative association in females. ConclusionSelf-rated health is significantly negatively associated with AICC， and attention should be given to self-rated health in the female geriatric population. Self-rated health can serve as an important tool for identifying elderly group at high risk of comorbidities providing a valuable basis for precise intervention.

Objective:To deeply understand the inner experiences of undergraduate nursing interns using Nursing Information Systems (NIS) and provide references for formulating relevant intervention strategies.Methods:A descriptive phenomenological approach was adopted for this qualitative study. Purposeful sampling was used to select undergraduate nursing interns from four comprehensive hospitals in Hangzhou during February to May 2023 for semi-structured interviews. The interview data were analyzed using Colaizzi's seven-step method to extract themes.Results:Four themes were identified in this study: insufficient preparedness of undergraduate nursing interns in using NIS, low engagement of undergraduate nursing interns in using NIS, perceived benefits of using NIS by undergraduate nursing interns, and adaptation strategies of undergraduate nursing interns using NIS.Conclusions:There are issues such as insufficient preparedness and low engagement among undergraduate nursing interns in using NIS. Some respondents experience emotions such as anxiety, fatigue, and decreased enthusiasm. It is recommended that colleges and internship hospitals pay attention to the clinical work demands and the learning needs of nursing interns, thus providing education and support for the use of NIS.

Objective This study aims to investigate the application of symptom group management using a mo-bile health platform in managing heart failure patients during convalescence.Methods The research involved pa-tients with chronic heart failure who were treated at a tertiary A hospital in Qingdao from June 2022 to December 2022.The experimental group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged after treatment in ward A,while the control group consisted of 235 patients who were discharged during the same period in ward B.The experimental group received an mHealth-based symptom clusters management program following routine continuous nursing and the control group was given routine continuous nursing after discharge.6 months after the intervention,the heart function status,self-care level,and quality of life were compared between 2 groups.Results The experimental group ultimately included 232 cases,while the control group ultimately included 225 cases.Furthermore,the cardiac functional status,level of self-care,and quality of life of both the experimental group and the control group showed improvement compared to the pre-intervention period(P＜0.05).The experimental group exhibited significantly better cardiac function status compared to the control group,and the experimental group demonstrated higher levels of self-care confidence,and quality of life relative to the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The utilization of a mobile medical platform can enhance the management of heart failure patients'symptom groups,resulting in im-proved disease management efficiency.This platform provides patients with a comprehensive self-management plan,ultimately enhancing their self-management abilities and overall outcomes.

Background and purpose:Long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)LINC01410,with a length of 647 bp,participates in a variety of tumor biological processes.However,the role and mechanism of LINC01410 involved in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)remain unclear.This study aimed to explore the potential mechanism of LINC01410 promoting ESCC proliferation and invasion,to provide a potential prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for individuals with ESCC.Methods:Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis 2(GEPIA2)databases were used to analyze the expression of LINC01410 and overall survival in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma data set in the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA).Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was performed to identify the underlying signaling pathways involved in the biological effects of LINC01410 in ESCC.A total of 62 pairs of ESCC tissues and paracancerous tissues from ESCC patients who underwent radical surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College and the First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan City from January 2020 to December 2021 were collected.This project has been approved by the Hospital Ethics Committee(First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College,No.2018036;First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan City,No.2019-018).The expression of LINC01410 in ESCC tissues was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RTFQ-PCR).We transfected EC109 cells with LV-NC or LV-over/LINC01410 and EC9706 cells with shRNA-NC or shRNA-LINC01410.Stable transfected cells(EC109/NC,EC109/OE,EC9706/NC and EC9706/KD)were selected in primary cell culture medium containing puromycin.The expression of LINC01410 was detected by RTFQ-PCR.The impact of LINC01410 on ESCC cell proliferation was determined by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)and colony formation assays.The effect of LINC01410 on ESCC cell invasion was detected by transwell migration assay.T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor 1(TCF/LEF1)luciferase reporter assay was performed to validate the effect of LINC01410 on the activity of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.The expressions of Wnt/β-catenin and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)signal pathway related proteins in ESCC cells were detected by Western blot.Results:By analyzing the LINC01410 expression from ESCC samples in TCGA by GEPIA2,we found LINC01410 was consistently increased in ESCC tumors compared with normal tissues(P＜0.05),and high LINC01410 expression was associated with poorer overall survival(OS).RTFQ-PCR assay showed that expressions of LINC01410 were higher in esophageal cancer tissues and esophageal cancer cells(EC109 and EC9706)than in precancerous tissues and HEEC cells(P＜0.05).The expression level of LINC01410 was significantly correlated with invasion range,lymph node metastasis and TNM stage in ESCC patients(P＜0.01).LINC01410 expression was also upregulated in EC109/OE,however the expression of LINC01410 in EC9706/KD was decreased(P＜0.01).MTT assay showed overexpression of LINC01410 increased the viability of EC109 cells,while knockdown of LINC01410 decreased the viability of EC9706 cells(P＜0.01).Colony formation assay indicated that overexpression of LINC01410 enhanced the clonogenic ability of ESCC cells,while knockdown of LINC01410 reduced colony formation(P＜0.01).Transwell migration assay showed that LINC01410 overexpression drastically increased the number of migratory cells,while silencing of LINC01410 suppressed the migration in EC9706 cells(P＜0.01).GSEA revealed that Wnt/β-catenin and EMT pathways were significantly enriched in ESCC samples with a high level of LINC01410.TCF/LEF1 luciferase reporter assay showed higher levels of Wnt-dependent activities were observed in EC109/OE cells,whereas silenced LINC01410 in EC9706 cells led to contrary results(P＜0.01).Western blot analysis showed that overexpression of LINC01410 in EC109 cell significantly increased the expression levels of N-cadherin,β-catenin,cyclin D1,c-Myc and decreased E-cadherin expression,while knockdown LINC01410 resulted in opposite results.Conclusion:LINC01410 promotes proliferation and metastasis of ESCC,which might be caused by activation of Wnt/β-catenin and EMT signaling pathways.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular characteristics of β-catenin-deficient colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinical, pathological and molecular features of 11 colorectal cancers with β-catenin protein loss diagnosed at the 960th Hospital of People′s Liberation Army of China, from January 2012 to November 2022 were analyzed.Results:Among the 11 patients, 3 were males and 8 were females. Their age ranged from 43 to 74 years, with the median age of 59 years. Six were in the left colon and 5 were in the right colon. One of the 11 cases had lymph node metastasis, 10 cases were well and moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, and 1 was mucinous adenocarcinoma. Eight cases were of TNM stage T4, 2 of T1 stage and 1 of Tis stage. β-catenin protein was not detected using immunohistochemistry. Sanger sequencing revealed the presence of fragment-deletion mutation in exon 3 of CTNNB1 gene, resulting in loss of β-catenin protein expression.Conclusion:β-catenin deficiency is present in a small number of colorectal cancers and may be associated with exon 3 mutations of CTNNB1 gene.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)features of adult diffuse glioma,define the preoperative MRI enhancement grade(ET grade)of the disease,and explore the relationship of ET grade with isocitrate dehydrogenase(IDH)mutation and WHO grade.Methods The clinical data of 306 cases of adult diffuse glioma confirmed by surgery and pathology admitted in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2023 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.There were 169 cases of mutant IDH and 137 cases of wildtype IDH.The differences in gender,age,MRI signal uniformity,clear tumor margin,obvious edema,compression of adjacent ventricles and ET grade were analyzed between the 2 types of IDH patients.A logistic regression model was established to identify the independent influencing factors for IDH mutation,and the correlation of ET grade with IDH status and WHO grade was analyzed.Results There were significant differences in age,whether the MRI signal was uniform,whether the tumor margin was clear,whether the edema was obvious,the compression of the adjacent ventricle and the ET grade in patients with different IDH status.The independent variables were screened by Forward method and then included in the logistic regression model.ET grade,age and tumor margin were independent influencing factors of IDH mutation status and negatively correlated with IDH mutation.For every 1 year increase in age,the probability of mutant IDH in adult diffuse glioma was decreased by 0.93 times.The accuracy of the established regression model for predicting IDH status was 0.859,the sensitivity was 0.852,the specificity was 0.869,and the AUC value was 0.922(0.892～0.952).ET grade was significantly correlated with WHO grade.The most prominent proportion of glioma patients with WHO grade 2 was noET,that with WHO grade 3 was ET2,and that with WHO grade 4 was ET3.Conclusion For adult diffuse glioma,preoperative MRI ET grade is negatively correlated with IDH mutation status,and positively with WHO grade.ET grade is helpful for determination of of IDH mutation status and WHO grade.

Objective To evaluate the precision and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided visualization for nasojejunal tube placement with the"R(right reclining)-S(shoulder)-A(abdominal)"3-point positioning for critically ill patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on all critically ill patients who underwent nasojejunal tube placement in Department of Critical Medicine of a tertiary hospital in Chongqing from April 2022 to August 2023.According to the position of the catheter,they were divided into a control group and an observation group.The control group received ultrasound-guided nasojejunal tube insertion,while the observation group used the"R-S-A"3-point positioning (the patient were placed in a right lateral position,the nurse stood at the right shoulder of the patient,and the ultrasound operator stood on the right side of the abdomen in the operating direction)for ultrasound-guided nasojejunal tube insertion.And,the control group had no specific requirements for positioning during the procedure.After propensity matching,the time and success rate of catheter insertion and incidence of complications were compared between the 2 groups.Results The time of catheter insertion was significantly shorter (36.2±10.3 vs 42.3±8.3 min),and the success rate of insertion was obviously higher (95.2％ vs 66.7％)in the observation group when compared with the control group (P<0.05).The incidence of complication was 9.5％ in the observation group,and 28.6％ in the control group,but there was no statistical difference between the 2 groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided nasojejunal tube placement based on "R-S-A"3-point positioning has high precision and strong effectiveness in critically ill patients,which can shorten the time and improve the success rate of catheter insertion.
