Objective To explore the mediating role of mindfulness between work immersion and professional well-being in clinical nurses. Methods A total of 477 clinical nurses were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. The levels of mindfulness, work immersion, and professional well-being among the clinical nurses were surveyed using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Emergency Department Nurse Work Immersion Experience Questionnaire, and the Medical Workers' Professional Well-being Scale, respectively. A structural equation model was constructed using AMOS 26.0 software. Results The total scores of mindfulness level, work immersion, and professional well-being among clinical nurses were (68.9±11.4), (134.1±20.2), and (89.1±12.6) points, respectively. The total score of mindfulness level was positively correlated with work immersion and professional well-being [correlation coefficients (r) were 0.566 and 0.344, respectively, both P<0.01], and the total score of work immersion was positively correlated with professional well-being (r=0.431, P<0.01). The mediating effect of mindfulness in work immersion and professional well-being was 0.059, with a 95% confidence interval of (0.014-0.108), accounting for 19.5% of the total effect. Conclusion The level of mindfulness among clinical nurses is relatively high. Mindfulness plays a partial mediating role between work immersion and professional well-being.

Objective We aimed to investigate the effects of Biejiajian Pills on MHCC-97H hepatoma cells and whether Biejiajian Pills regulate the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway through miR-885-5p.Methods SPF SD rats (n = 10) were randomly divided into the blank group and the Biejiajian Pills (1.1 g/kg) group to prepare blank and Biejiajian Pills-containing serum. MHCC-97H cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into the model group, blank serum groups with different concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%), the serum containing Biejiajian Pills group, and the blank group without cells. Cell proliferation was detected by the CCK-8 assay, and the optimal intervention time and concentration of drug-containing serum were screened. MHCC-97H cells were divided into the blank control group (no intervention), the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum group (20% Biejiajian Pills-containing serum), the miR-885-5p mimics group (transfected with miR-885-5p mimics), the miR-NC group (transfected with miR-885-5p NC), and the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum + miR-885-5p mimics group (treated with 20% Biejiajian Pills-containing serum and transfected with miR-885-5p mimics). Cells in each group were cultured for 72 hours. A dual luciferase reporter assay was conducted to verify the targeting relationship between miR-885-5p and EGFR. Cell proliferation was detected by the CCK-8 assay, cell migration and invasion abilities were detected by the cell scratch assay and the Transwell invasion assay. Annexin V-APC/PI double staining was performed to detect the apoptosis level, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis was conducted to determine the mRNA expression levels of miR-885-5p, EGFR, MEK, and ERK1/2. The expression levels of EGFR, p-EGFR, MEK, p-MEK, ERK1/2, p-ERK1/2, matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), and CyclinD1 were determined by Western blotting analysis. The subcutaneous tumor model of MHCC-97H hepatoma cells in nude mice was established by subcutaneous injection to observe the inhibitory effect of Biejiajian Pills of different doses(0.55,1.1,2.2 g/kg).Results The optimal concentration and intervention time of Biejiajian Pills-containing serum were 20% and 72 hours, respectively. Meanwhile, the dual luciferase reporter assay showed that miR-885-5p could directly target EGFR. No statistical significances between the blank control group and the miR-NC group were observed (P>0.05). Compared with the blank control group, the proliferation rates of MHCC-97H hepatoma cells in the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum group, the miR-885-5p mimics group, and the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum + miR-885-5p mimics group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and their migration and invasion abilities were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). At the same time, the protein expression levels of CyclinD1 and MMP1, which are closely related to cell proliferation and invasion, were significantly downregulated (P<0.05, P<0.01). The proportions of late apoptotic cells and the proportion of total apoptotic cells were significantly increased (P<0.01). In the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum group, the miR-885-5p mimics group, and the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum + miR-885-5p mimics group, miR-885-5p mRNA was significantly upregulated (P<0.01) and EGFR, MEK, and ERK1/2 were significantly downregulated at the mRNA level (P<0.05, P<0.01). EGFR, MEK, and ERK1/2 phosphorylation was inhibited (P<0.01), and the Biejiajian Pills-containing serum + miR-885-5p mimics group showed the best effect (P<0.05, P<0.01). The subcutaneous liver tumor model in nude mice verified that Biejiajian Pills can inhibit tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Biejiajian Pills can promote apoptosis of MHCC-97H hepatoma cells and inhibit their proliferation, invasion, and migration. The mechanism may be related to the targeted regulation of the EGFR/MAPK/ERK signaling pathway by miR-885-5p.

Objective:To investigate disease benefit finding of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy, in order to provide reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and nursing of children with cerebral palsy.Methods:Using the phenomenological method of qualitative research, a total of 12 primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy were selected from the outpatient and inpatient wards of Department of Child Rehabilitation in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University/Yuying Children's Hospital from October 2020 to February 2021 by the purposive sampling method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the feelings of the primary caregivers when their children were diagnosed with cerebral palsy, how their thoughts changed during care and what coping methods they adopted. Colaizzi 7-step content analysis was used to analyze the collected text data.Results:The disease benefit finding of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy was mainly reflected in self-growth (cultivating healthy behaviors, learning to face and accept reality and enhancing emotional regulation), positive prospects for future life (cherishing the present and re-planning life, looking at things from a positive perspective, strengthening beliefs and regaining hope), improvement of interpersonal relationships (closer husband and wife relationship, more harmonious relationship between family members, feeling the care of medical staff and support and understanding from peers) and diversified social support (crowdfunding platforms provided by social welfare projects, government subsidy) .Conclusions:The disease benefit finding of primary caregivers of children with cerebral palsy is mainly manifested in four aspects, including self-growth, changes in life attitudes, improvement of interpersonal relationships and social support. Medical staff can carry out psychological interventions for the main caregivers of children with cerebral palsy from the above four aspects, relieve their negative emotions, improve their psychological adjustment capabilities and enhance their disease benefit finding.

Objective:To explore the genetic basis for a patient with factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency.Methods:All exons of the F13A1 and F13B genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced directly. The sequencing was performed with a reverse primer if a variant was found. Conservation of variant site was analyzed by the ClustalX software. Four online bioinformatic software including MutationTaster, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN and SIFT were used to predict the function of the mutation site. The Swiss-PdbViewer software was applied to analyze the changes in the protein model and intermolecular force. Results:The proband was found to harbor a novel c. 515G>C (p.Arg171Pro) variant of the F13A1 gene. The corresponding amino acid Arg171 is conserved among homologous species. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that Arg171Pro variant may affect the protein function. Protein model analysis showed that in the wild-type, there is one hydrogen bond between Arg171 and Pro27; one hydrogen bond between Arg171 and Thr28; two hydrogen bonds between Arg171 and Glu102. When Arg171 was mutated to Pro171, the three hydrogen bonds between Arg171 and Pro27, Glu102 are all disappeared and formed a new benzene ring which might affect the stability of the protein structure. No variant was found in the F13B gene. Conclusion:The Arg171Pro variant may account for the decreased FXIII level. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of F13A1 gene variants.

6.CT and pathological features of primary hepatic angiosarcoma
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(8):779-781
Objective To present the computed tomography (CT)findings and associated pathological features of eight cases of primary he-patic angiosarcoma (PHA).Methods All cases were confirmed by pathology.After a CT scan of the upper abdomen,all cases of PHA un-derwent enhanced scans in the arterial phase,portal venous phase,and delayed phase to observe the CT manifestations.The surgical speci-mens were subjected to conventional hematoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemistry and observed under a microscope.Results Of all patients,5 cases were massive type,2 cases were mixed type,and 1 case was multiple nodule type.CT scans revealed inhomogeneous low-density lesions,with necrosis of even lower density in the central part.In 4 cases of massive type,scattered high-density small pieces were observed in low-density areas;in one case of mixed type,high-density nodules were observed on the edge of mass.There were 7 ca-ses of peripheral nodular irregular enhancement in the arterial phase,including 1 case with flocculent central enhancement and another with no enhancement.Lesions remained enhanced in the portal venous and delayed phases,but 1 case had no enhancement.Five in 9 lesions had sharp edges in the arterial and portal venous phases,with“sharpen rim perpendicular to pleura”signs at the boundaries with the surrounding normal liver tissue.The outer edges of 7 lesions were found to have “pseudocapsules”in the portal venous phase.Conclusion CT scans showed a large hypodense lesion with irregular necrotic areas or scattered hemorrhage in PHA patients,whist enhanced scans showed a pro-gressive filling and necrotic area in the central part.There could be“sharpen rim perpendicular to pleura”and“pseudocapsule”signs at the edge.It might be helpful to improve the diagnosis through the above characteristic features.

Epithelial tissues covering the external and internal surface of a body are constantly under physical, chemical or biological assaults. To protect the epithelial tissues and maintain their homeostasis, multiple layers of immune defense mechanisms are required. Besides the epithelial tissue-resident immune cells that provide the first line of defense, circulating immune cells are also recruited into the local tissues in response to challenges. Chemokines and chemokine receptors regulate tissue-specific migration, maintenance and functions of immune cells. Among them, chemokine receptor CCR10 and its ligands chemokines CCL27 and CCL28 are uniquely involved in the epithelial immunity. CCL27 is expressed predominantly in the skin by keratinocytes while CCL28 is expressed by epithelial cells of various mucosal tissues. CCR10 is expressed by various subsets of innate-like T cells that are programmed to localize to the skin during their developmental processes in the thymus. Circulating T cells might be imprinted by skin-associated antigen- presenting cells to express CCR10 for their recruitment to the skin during the local immune response. On the other hand, IgA antibody-producing B cells generated in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues express CCR10 for their migration and maintenance at mucosal sites. Increasing evidence also found that CCR10/ligands are involved in regulation of other immune cells in epithelial immunity and are frequently exploited by epithelium-localizing or -originated cancer cells for their survival, proliferation and evasion from immune surveillance. Herein, we review current knowledge on roles of CCR10/ligands in regulation of epithelial immunity and diseases and speculate on related important questions worth further investigation.

Objective:To explore the preventive function for sweating gustatory syndrome and esthetic effect of restoring parotid gland area defect by using platysma flap. Methods: Nine patients who underwent parotidectomy and restored parotid gland area defect with platysma flap were analyzed retrospectively in this study. Observed whether there was an incidence of subjective sweating gustatory syndrome and introcession in the operation region. Results: There was no incidence of subjective sweating gustatory syndrome. Moreover, introcession in the operation region was not obvious. Conclusion: Restoring parotid defects with platysma flap can reduce introcession in the operation region. Application of platysma flap as an interpositional barrier between the skin flap and the parotid bed after parotidectomy can reduce the incidence of sweating gustatory syndrome.
