Objective:To summarize and analyze the acupoint selection law of acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of schizophrenia using data mining techniques and network visualization technology.Methods:The literature related to the treatment of schizophrenia through acupuncture and moxibustion was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, Chinese Medical Journal Full-text Database, PubMed and Web of Science from the establishment of the databases to December 31, 2022. A database was established using Excel 2013 software and frequency analysis of acupoints was conducted; the Apriori algorithm was used to analyze the association law of acupoints; SPSS Statistics 25.0 and SPSS Modeler 18.0 software were used for acupoint clustering analysis to explore the acupoint selection law.Results:A total of 133 articles were included, involving 133 acupuncture prescriptions and 158 acupoints, with a total frequency of 1131 times. The most frequently used acupoints were Baihui (GV20) (71 times), Zusanli (ST36) (51 times), Neiguan (PC6) (45 times). Commonly used meridians were Governor Vessel, and stomach meridian, etc. According to the analysis of association rules, 108 association rules of acupoints were obtained, and common compatibility of acupoints was Baihui (GV20)-Yintang (GV24)-Zusanli (ST36), Baihui (GV20)-Shenting (GV24), Baihui (GV20)-Yintang (GV24), Daling (PC7)-Laogong (PC8), etc. Four major clusters were obtained through clustering analysis of commonly used acupoints.Conclusion:Modern acupuncture and moxibustion is mainly used to regulate yin and yang and balance qi and blood in the treatment of schizophrenia. The acupoint selection is based on Baihui-Yintang-Neiguan-Hegu acupoint prescription, and other acupoints are added according to concurrent syndromes, which can not only give full play to the synergistic effect of acupoints, but also promote the recovery of motor and sensory functions.

Cancer is a prevalent and challenging disease that is difficult to treat.Western medicine recognizes the disruption of the immune and inflammatory microenvironment as a crucial factor in the development and progression of cancer.According to traditional Chinese medicine,cancer falls into the categories of"accumulation"and"abnormal masses".Based on the attributes of cold and heat in the overall and local conditions as well as the characteristic of the struggle between the vital qi and pathogenic factors at different stages of this disease,this article proposes the concept of"body coldness and tumor heat"to describe the pathogenesis of cancer formation and progression.This pathogenesis aligns with the disruption of the immune and inflammatory microenvironment in modern medical oncology.The article suggests a treatment approach that focuses on balancing cold and heat,nourishing and protecting yang qi,warming the kidneys,and strengthening the spleen to address the"coldness of the entire body".This approach also involves promoting qi circulation,eliminating dampness,phlegm,and stasis,and detoxifying and dispersing nodules to address the"heat in the tumor locally".By addressing deficiencies,eliminating pathogenic factors,and promoting circulation to alleviate stagnation,the aim is to restore the balance of yin and yang and improve the complex state of"coldness of the entire body"and"heat in the tumor locally".These interventions can ameliorate the disorder in the microenvironment and enhance clinical efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the effect of "simulated Chinese medicine nursing clinic" teaching on syndrome differentiation ability among nursing students and the teaching effect of this method.Methods:A total of 325 students were randomly divided into conventional teaching group with 163 students (receiving conventional nursing teaching) and real situational teaching group with 162 students (receiving "simulated Chinese medicine nursing nursing clinic" teaching at the same time). A self-made questionnaire for syndrome differentiation-based nursing ability, assessment scores of traditional Chinese medicine nursing theories and skills, and a teaching satisfaction questionnaire were used for evaluation.Results:After intervention, the real situational teaching group (the treatment group and the experience group) had significantly higher socres of syndrome differentiation-based nursing ability (mastery of four diagnostic methods, diagnosis of syndromes, analysis of syndromes, determination of nursing principles, and development of nursing regimens) than the conventional teaching group (the treatment group and the conventional teaching group: 8.97±1.00/8.47±1.20/8.33±1.06/8.30±1.26/7.89±1.13 and 7.96±1.14/7.29±1.36/7.14±1.18/7.39±1.30/7.26±1.18, P<0.05; the experience group and the conventional teaching group: 8.39±1.10/8.17±1.15/8.07±1.06/7.97±1.26/7.73±1.38 and 7.96±1.14/7.29±1.36/7.14±1.18/7.39±1.30/7.26±1.18, P<0.05). The real situational teaching group had a significantly higher overall degree of satisfaction with teaching than the conventional teaching group [160 (97.6%) and 150 (92.0%), P<0.05]. Conclusions:The "simulated Chinese medicine nursing clinic" teaching program effectively enhances the thinking of syndrome differientiation and related abilities for nursing, improves the learning effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing theories and skills, and increases the learning interest in traditional Chinese medicine nursing among nursing students.

Endosomal TLRs (TLR3/7/8/9) are highly analogous innate immunity sensors for various viral or bacterial RNA/DNA molecular patterns. Among them, TLR7, in particular, has been suggested to be a target for various inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); but few small-molecule inhibitors with elaborated mechanism have been reported in literature. Here, we reported a well-characterized human TLR7-specific small-molecule inhibitor, TH-407b, with promising potency and negligible cytotoxicity through a novel binding mechanism. Notably, TH-407b not only effectively inhibited TLR7-mediated pro-inflammatory signaling in a variety of cultured cell lines but also demonstrated potent inflammation suppressing activities in primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) derived from SLE patients. Furthermore, TH-407b showed prominent efficacy in vivo, improved survival rate and ameliorated symptoms of SLE model mice. To obtain molecular insights into the TH-407b derivatives' inhibition mechanism, we performed the structural analysis of TLR7/TH-407b complex using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) method. As an atomistic resolution cryo-EM structure of the TLR family, it not only of value to facilitate structure-based drug design, but also shed light to methodology development of small proteins using EM. Significantly, TH-407b has unveiled an inhibition strategy for TLR7 via stabilizing its resting/inactivated state. Such a resting state could be generally applicable to all TLRs, rendering a useful method for targeting this group of important immunological receptors.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of patients′ satisfaction with nursing humanistic care, and to provide reference for improving the quality of such care provided by hospitals.Methods:From July to August 2022, outpatients and inpatients in 30 provinces were selected by multi-stage stratified sampling as the survey objects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on an online platform, using the general information questionnaire and Chinese version of methodist health care system nurse caring instrument revised by the research group. The latter instrument consists of 12 dimensions. namely care coordination, competence, teaching/learning, emotional support, respect for individuality, physical comfort, availability, helping/trusting relationship, patient/family engagement, physical environment, spiritual environment and outcomes. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data collected by the questionnaires, and independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the influencing factors of patient satisfaction. Results:A total of 107 hospitals were selected for questionnaire survey, including 86 tertiary hospitals and 21 secondary hospitals, and 29 108 valid questionnaires were recovered. The patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scored (5.40±0.86); the top three dimensions were competence (5.50±0.89), emotional support (5.47±0.88) and helping/trusting relationship (5.46±0.86); the lowest scoring dimensions were teaching/learning (5.38±1.01), spiritual environment (5.36±1.04) and patient/family engagement (5.11±1.28). Differences with gender, age, marital status, child status, educational level, occupation, place of residence, economic region, per capita monthly income of the family, type of medical insurance, medical department visited and surgery or not presented significant differences on the patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scores ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The satisfaction of patients with hospital′s nursing humanistic care in China was at the middle to upper level. In the future, health education for patients should be strengthened, and a mode of family-engaged nursing humanistic care should be constructed in line with the Chinese cultural background. In the process of nursing services, the particularity of patient groups should be considered to better meet their needs.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of Jianpi Xiaoai prescription on the protein expression of metastasis-related factors in tumor microenvironment such as chemokine receptor 4 （CXCR4）， transformation growth factor-β （TGF-β）， integrin a_v β₅ （ITGα_v β₅）， serum calcium-binding protein A4 （S100A4）， serum calcium-binding protein A8 （S100A8）， and serum calcium-binding protein A9 （S100A9） in the liver tissue of the nude mouse model of liver metastasis of colon cancer， and to explore the possible mechanism of its anti-liver metastasis of colon cancer. MethodBALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into blank group， model group， and Jianpi Xiaoai prescription low， medium， and high-dose groups. A nude mouse model of liver metastasis of human colon cancer was established. Jianpi Xiaoai prescription low， medium， and high-dose groups were given 5.4， 10.8， 21.6 g·kg^-1 liquid medicine， respectively， and the model group and the blank group were given the same volume of distilled water by gavage， once a day for 3 consecutive weeks. 24 h after the last administration， the nude mice were sacrificed by neck removal， and the liver metastasis of each group was observed. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of metastasis-related factors in the tumor microenvironment， such as CXCR4， TGF-β， ITGα_v β₅， S100A4， S100A8， and S100A9. ResultThe proportion of metastatic tumor area was 73% in the model group， 72% in the low-dose group， 55% in the medium-dose group， and 42% in the high-dose group. The high-dose group was significantly lower than the model group （P<0.05）. As compared with the model group， the expression of CXCR4， TFG-β， ITGα_v β₅， S100A8， and S100A9 in the Jianpi Xiaoai prescription high and medium-dose groups were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. As compared with the model group， the expression of S100A4 in the Jianpi Xiaoai prescription high， medium， and low-dose groups was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The expression of CXCR4， TFG-β， ITGα_v β₅， S100A8， and S100A9 in the Jianpi Xiaoai prescription low-dose group was not significantly different from that in the model group. ConclusionJianpi Xiaoai prescription can inhibit liver metastasis of colon cancer， and its mechanism may be related to the reduction of the expression of metastasis-related factors such as CXCR4， TGF-β， ITGα_v β₅， S100A4， S100A8， and S100A9 in tumor microenvironment.

Objective:To study the biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells and to explore the activation of Ras signaling pathway regulated by CD44.Methods:CNE2-SC and 5-8F-SC were nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells and obtained by serum-free suspension culture. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, colony formation assay, Transwell migration assay, cell adhesion array were used to investigate the growth, proliferation, migration and adhesion of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells. Western blot test was used to detect the expressions of Ras signaling pathway related proteins and siRNA-mediated interference was used to determine the activation of Ras signaling pathway regulated by CD44.Results:The growth rates of CNE2-SC and 5-8F-SC cells were significantly lower than those of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells at 24, 48 and 72 hours after inoculation ( P<0.05). After 14 days of implantation, the colony formation rates of CNE2-SC (44.5±1.9)% and 5-8F-SC (47.4±1.8)% were higher than those of CNE2 (34.9±1.5)% and 5-8F (37.2±1.7)%, respectively( P<0.01). The migration cell number of CNE2-SC was (87.6±7.8), 3.97 times higher than that of CNE2 ( P<0.01). The migration cell number of 5-8F-SC was (67.2±5.7), 3.07 times higher than 5-8F ( P<0.01). The adhesion rates of CNE2-SC and CNE2 cells were (42.1±7.6)% and (8.9±2.0)%, respectively at 3 hours after inoculation and were (82.4±5.0)% and (12.1±2.2)% at 6 hours after inoculation, respectively. The adhesion rate of CNE2-SC cells was higher than that of CNE2 cells (all P<0.01). The adhesion rates of 5-8F-SC and 5-8F cells were (53.6±6.1)% and (7.3±1.5)% at 3 hours after inoculation, and (90.7±3.6)% and (11.0±1.2)% at 6 hours after inoculation, respectively. The adhesion rate of 5-8F-SC cells was higher than that of 5-8F cells ( P<0.01). The expression levels of CD44, Ras and N-cadherin were significantly higher, while phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), E-cadherin in nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells were lower than those of the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. Furthermore, the levels of phosphorylated mitogen extracellular kinase1/2 (p-MEK1/2) and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase1/2 (p-ERK1/2)were significantly increased in nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells ( P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the protein expression levels of CD44 was highly positively correlated with RAS in nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells( r=0.985, P=0.002; r=0.962, P=0.038). Deletion of CD44 in CNE2-SC decreased the expression levels of HER-2, Ras and p-ERK1/2, p-Akt and phosphorylated protein kinase C-δ(p-PKCδ) ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Despite compare to the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell, nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells grows at a relatively slow rate, the capacities of clone formation, migration, adhesion are promoted. This may be related to the CD44-regulated abnormal activation of Ras signaling pathway.
