ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of calycosin-mediated glucoprotein130/Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription factor (GP130/JAK/STAT) signaling pathway on oxidative injury of astrocytes in spinal cord. MethodAstrocytes in rat spinal cord were isolated and identified by immunofluorescence detection of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). The cells were respectively pre-treated with 5, 10, 20 μmol·L-1 calycosin for 12 h, and then 100 μmol·L-1 H2O2 (24 h) was added to induce oxidative injury. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was employed to detect cell proliferation and select the optimal concentration of calycosin. The following experimental groups were designed: control group, model group (100 μmol·L-1 H2O2), calycosin group (20 μmol·L-1 calycosin), calycosin + LY294002 group (20 μmol·L-1 calycosin + 10 μmol·L-1 LY294002), and calycosin + Stattic group (20 μmol·L-1 calycosin + 3 μmol·L-1 Stattic). CCK-8 assay and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the proliferation of cells and flow cytometry was applied to detect cell apoptosis and cycle. The protein expression of phosphorylated (p)-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-protein kinase B (Akt), GP130, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) was detected by Western blotting. ResultCompared with the control group, the model group showed low proliferation activity and high apoptosis rate of cells (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, calycosin (20 μmol·L-1) group displayed high proliferation activity and low apoptosis rate of cells (P<0.05). Compared with calycosin (20 μmol·L-1) group, both phosphatidylinosirtol-3-kinases (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 and STAT3 inhibitor Stattic significantly reduced the proliferation activity and increased the apoptosis rate of cells (P<0.05). The protein expression of p-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-Akt, GP130, and IL-6 in the model group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05), and the expression of the above indicators was lower in each treatment group than in the model group (P<0.05). ConclusionCalycosin can promote the proliferation and inhibit the apoptosis of astrocytes with oxidative injury by inhibiting the phosphorylation of PI3K/Akt pathway and JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective:To analyze the related researches on big data applied in nursing at home and abroad, and to explore its application status and development trends, in order to provide a reference for the development of nursing big data in China.Methods:Related articals of nursing big data collected from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Wanfang database and Web of Science Core Collection were used as data sources. The search time limit was from the establishment of the database to September 30, 2019. Excel was used for statistical analysis of the year, country, institution and journal. VOSviewer was used for co-occurrence analysis of keywords and national cooperation, and draw visual graphs.Results:A total of 195 Chinese articals and 5 751 English articals were included. From 2001 to 2019, the research on nursing big data showed an overall growth trend. There were few related research in China with scattered research institutions, which were mainly published in nursing journals. The English articals on nursing big data mainly involved five fields, including health management, assessment and prediction, data mining technology, data analysis and cloud computing, and big data research platform; while Chinese articals mainly covered three fields, including information nursing, nursing quality management and application types of big data. The United States was at the center of national cooperation and dominated this field.Conclusions:The research on nursing big data in China is still in its infancy, and the research content is not focused enough. It can be further explored in standardizing nursing standard terms, building a diversified data monitoring platform and improving the information literacy of nursing staff, so as to accelerate the clinical application of nursing big data in China, and then provide accurate nursing services for patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognosis of pleomorphic giant cell adenocarcinoma (PGCA) of the prostate, and to strengthen the understanding of this rare variant.Methods:From January 2009 to December 2019, 383 pathological samples of prostate adenocarcinoma with Gleason scores of 8-10 were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital, Army Medical University. PGCA was screened by reviewing the histomorphology of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections. Then the expression of prostate specific markers and mismatch repair (MMR) proteins of PGCA were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and microsatellite instability (MSI) status was detected through polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-capillary electrophoresis. Meanwhile, the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of PGCA were summarized and analyzed along with those reported in the literature.Results:Three patients with PGCA of the prostate were 68, 63 and 71 years old respectively, and case 1 had a history of transurethral resection of the prostate and oral bicalutamide 3 months before surgery. All 3 patients underwent radical prostatectomy and received endocrine therapy, radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, and died at 18, 23, and 10 months after surgery, respectively. Histologically, both the usual prostate adenocarcinoma with Gleason score of 9-10 and the pleomorphic giant cell component with anaplastic characteristics were observed in 3 tumors, and the latter accounted for 90%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining showed that both components expressed epithelial markers (CK, CK8/18) and prostate-specific markers (NKX3.1, PSA, P504S) to varying degrees, and the expression of MMR proteins (MSH2, MSH6, MLH1 and PMS2) were not defective. MSI was not detected in the usual prostate adenocarcinoma and pleomorphic giant cell components obtained by microdissection in 3 cases. Combined with 10 cases reported in the literature, there were totally 13 cases of PGCA for reviewing. The patients were 45-81 years old, the average age was 66 years old, and the median age was 66 years old. During the follow-up period of 3-36 months, 7 cases relapsed/metastasized, 6 cases died within 23 months after diagnosis, and 4 of which died within 1 year.Conclusions:PGCA is a newly recognized rare variant of prostate adenocarcinoma. At present, all cases are accompanied with high-grade usual prostate adenocarcinoma with Gleason score of 9-10, but it is different from the latter in pathological morphology and clinical manifestations, by presenting high invasiveness and poor prognosis. PGCA is not sensitive to conventional endocrine therapy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Accurate diagnosis of PGCA is helpful to judge the prognosis of patients and guide the treatment.

Objective:
To conduct a viral pathogen surveillance program on pediatric inpatients less than five years old with acute gastroenteritis in Shanghai and to better understand the pathogenic spectrum and molecular features in the target population, for setting up programs on control, prevention, medication and vaccine applications of the diseases.
Methods:
Fecal samples were collected from inpatients less than 5 years old who were admitted to a pediatric hospital for having acute gastroenteritis. Information related to demographic, clinical and epidemiological features of the patients was also collected. Laboratory assays including ELISA, real-time PCR and nested PCR, were performed to detect the presence of pathogens as rotavirus, calicivirus, astrovirus and adenovirus.
Results:
A total of 1 018 samples were collected (male 671 and 347 female), with the positive detection rate as 40.57% which peaked from autumn till winter, annually. Calicivirus and rotavirus A presented with the highest detection rates (24.75% and 13.95% respectively). The lowest detection rate was found in the 0-6 month-olds (32.20%). 65% of the patients with positive virus had received antibiotic treatment prior to the hospitalization. However, no statistically significant difference was seen, regarding the rates of antibiotic medication in the virus positive or negative populations (
