Objective: The existence of activating transcription factor 1 (ATF1) could be employed as a clinical marker in the context of cervical cancer development, although its specific mechanism has not been fully clarified. Methods: To evaluate the presence of ATF1, miR-630, and myelin and lymphocyte protein 2 (MAL2) in cervical malignancies, we conducted quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot assays; further studied the expansion, migration, invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cervical carcinoma cells using colony formation assay, transwell, loss cytometry, Western blot.Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) were used to verify that ATF1 could directly transcriptionally repress miR-630; dual luciferase reporter assay and RIP assay were employed to confirm that miR-630 targeted to repress MAL2. Results: In cervical cancer cases, elevated ATF1 expression and reduced miR-630 expression were detected, displaying a negative relationship between them. Inhibition of ATF1 hindered the growth, migration, infiltration, and EMT in cervical carcinoma cells, while upregulation of miR-630 mitigated the aggressive characteristics of these cells. ATF1 was found to transcriptionally repress miR-630 by TransmiR and ALGGEN prediction and ChIP validation.MicroRNA modulates gene expression and affects cancer progression, and we discovered that miR-630 regulates cancer progression by targeting and inhibiting MAL2. Conclusion ATF1, which modulates the miR-630/MAL2 pathway, affects the EMT process and cervical carcinoma cell growth and spread. Therefore, ATF1 may serve as a promising marker and treatment target for cervical malignancies intervention.

Objective:To establish reference ranges for left and right ventricular structure and function parameters using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in healthy Tibetan natives residing at ultra-high altitudes, and analyze their influencing factors.Methods:This prospective study enrolled Tibetan healthy volunteers who underwent CMR examinations between September 2021 and August 2022. Participants were stratified into four age groups: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59 years. CMR-derived parameters included left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), left/right ventricular end-diastolic volumes (LVEDV/RVEDV), left/right ventricular end-systolic volumes (LVESV/RVESV), and end-diastolic left ventricular mass (LVM at ED). Normally distributed data were compared between genders using independent samples t-test and among age groups using ANOVA. Non-normally distributed data were analyzed with Kruskal-Wallis test. Linear regression assessed relationships between parameters and gender, age, residential altitude, body surface area (BSA), and body mass index (BMI). Results:The study included 66 volunteers (27 males, 39 females), distributed as follows: 21 (20-29 years), 15 (30-39 years), 15 (40-49 years), and 15 (50-59 years). Reference values were: LVEF (62.6±5.7)%, RVEF (55.0±7.1)%, BSA-indexed LVEDV (60.6±12.1)ml/m2, RVEDV (65.5±14.8)ml/m2, LVESV (22.7±5.9)ml/m2, RVESV (29.6±8.1)ml/m2, and LVM at ED (39.1±8.0)g/m2. Gender and age significantly affected RVEF, RVESV, and LVM at ED ( P<0.05). Multivariate regression revealed:Gender independently predicted RVEF ( β=-5.556, P=0.003), RVESV ( β=5.421, P=0.007), and LVM at ED ( β=8.338, P<0.001). Age negatively influenced RVESV ( β=-0.202, P=0.019). BSA positively correlated with LVM at ED ( β=19.980, P=0.041). No significant associations were found with residential altitude or BMI ( P>0.05). Conclusion:This study establishes preliminary reference ranges for ventricular parameters in Tibetan ultra-high altitude natives, with gender, age, and BSA identified as key determinants of cardiac structural/functional indices.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of adverse events in hemodialysis nursing in class-A tertiary hospitals in China and analyze their nursing human resources related influencing factors, aiming at provide references for hemodialysis centers to adjust nursing human resources scientifically to reduce the occurrence of nursing adverse events.Methods:A convenient sampling method was used. From August to October 2021, a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate nursing adverse events in hemodialysis centers of 860 class-A tertiary hospitals during 2020 in China. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of blood loss, hemodialysis catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI) and venous needle dislodgement (VND) in hemodialysis centers.Results:A total of 826 valid questionnaires were received, with an effective response rate of 96.05%(826/860). There were 826 hemodialysis centers covering 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in China. The establishment period of each center was 24(18, 30) years. There were 45(30, 62) dialysis machines, 180(110, 260) patients and 19(13, 27) registered nurses. Blood loss, hemodialysis CRBSI and VND occurred in 70.94% (586/826), 68.04%(562/826) and 46.97% (388/826) of hemodialysis centers, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression results showed that the daily treatment shift ( OR=0.730, 95% CI 0.536-0.994), the proportion of nurses with bachelor's degree or above ( OR=1.635, 95% CI 1.142-2.342), and whether nurses worked part-time on peritoneal dialysis treatment ( OR=0.225, 95% CI 0.052-0.965) were the influencing factors for blood loss in hemodialysis centers (all P<0.05). The daily treatment shift ( OR=0.566, 95% CI 0.413-0.777), the number of patients which each nurse was responsible for per shift simultaneously ( OR=0.549, 95% CI 0.400-0.753), proportion of blood purification specialized nurses ( OR=1.661, 95% CI 1.216-2.269), whether nurses worked part-time on CRRT ( OR=0.700, 95% CI 0.511-0.957), the education level of the nursing manager was junior college and below ( OR=3.789, 95% CI 1.576-9.113) and bachelor′s degree ( OR=2.585, 95% CI 1.328-5.033) were the influencing factors for the hemodialysis catheter-associated bloodstream infection in hemodialysis centers (all P<0.05). The number of patients which each nurse ( OR=0.580, 95% CI 0.433-0.777) was responsible for per shift simultaneously was the influencing factor in the occurrence of VND in hemodialysis centers ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The nursing adverse events of blood loss, hemodialysis catheter-associated bloodstream infection and VND were relatively common in hemodialysis centers. The hospital managers should take corresponding measures aiming at the above influencing factors to prevent the occurrence of nursing adverse events and improve the quality and safety of nursing.

To provide scientific guidance and standardization for perioperative clinical nursing practice in patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy, relevant evidence on percutaneous renal biopsy nursing care was systematically retrieved and synthesized through an evidence-based approach. After two rounds of Delphi expert consultation and expert panel discussions, expert consensus on perioperative clinical nursing standards for patients undergoing percutaneous renal biopsy (hereinafter referred to as the "Consensus") was developed. The Consensus includes three primary themes: preoperative care, intraoperative care, and postoperative care, encompassing 21 secondary themes. It is characterized by scientific rigor, practical applicability, and comprehensiveness, and serves as a valuable reference and guide for clinical nursing professionals across medical institutions.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of motor imagery (MI) on knee function after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). MethodsFrom January to September, 2022, 32 patients underwent UKA for the first time in Xuanwu Hospital were randomly divided into control group (n = 16) and experimental group (n = 16). All the patients accepted routine rehabilitation, and the experimental group accepted MI in addition, until four weeks after discharge. They were assessed with Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Visual Analogue Scale for pain (VAS), range of motion (ROM) of knee, and Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) before and after treatment. ResultsAll the indexes improved after treatment (|t| > 2.517, P < 0.05), except ROM in the control group; and they improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (F > 7.999, P < 0.01), except the VAS score. ConclusionMI can further improve the knee function after UKA, but do less for pain.
