Objective To develop a Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Questionnaire for Nursing Assistants on Humanistic Care and test its reliability and validity,in order to provide a valid tool for evaluating their humanistic care competence.Methods Based on the theory of knowledge,attitude and practice,the first draft of the questionnaire was developed through literature review,semi-structured interviews,2 rounds of Delphi expert consultation,and pre-surveys.All nursing assistants from 4 tertiary hospitals in Hubei Province were investigated by convenient sample,and the reliability and validity were tested from May to July,2024.Results 412 questionnaires were distributed and 399 valid questionnaires were recovered,with a valid questionnaire recovery rate of 96.84％.The final knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire include 3 dimensions of knowledge,attitude and practice,with a total of 24 items and cumulative contribution rate was 65.338％.The CVI of each item in the questionnaire ranged from 0.800 to 1.000,with an average of 0.981.The confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale model had a good fit.The total Cronbach's α coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.941,and the test-retest reliability coefficient of the questionnaire after 2 weeks was 0.923.Conclusion The knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire has good reliability and validity,and it can be used as a valid tool for evaluating the competence of humanistic care of nursing assistants.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and related influencing factors of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(auto-HSCT)as first-line consolidation therapy for newly diagnosed elderly patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:Retrospective study of clinical characteristics, therapeutic effect, and prognostic factors of newly diagnosed DLBCL elderly patients with an International Prognostic Index(IPI)score≥3 who underwent auto-HSCT in the Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University from January 2015 to August 2020.Results:Among the 31 patients, 18 were males and 13 were females, with a median age of 65(60-75)years.The 13 cases(41.9%)were involved in 2 sites outside lymph nodes, and 13 cases(41.9%)were involved in bone marrow.IPI medium and high risk(IPI=3 points)was found in 21 cases(67.7%), high risk(≥4 points)in 10 cases(32.2%). Before transplantation, 21(67.7%)patients achieved complete remission(CR), and the other 10(32.3%)patients were in the partial remission(PR). All patients after transplantation achieved hematopoietic reconstitution.The median time for neutrophil and platelet engraftment were 10(9-16)days and 12(8-58)days respectively.During a median follow-up of 20.9(3.1 to 73.0)months after transplantation, transplant-related mortality within 100 days was 3.2%(1/31). The 2-year overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)were(77.2±8.4)% and(72.7±8.3)%, respectively.Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the achieved partial remission status before auto-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation[OS( HR=30.064, 95% CI: 2.231-405.209, P=0.010), PFS( HR=9.165, 95% CI: 1.926-43.606, P=0.005)], and CD34 + cell count in graft <3×10 6/kg[OS( HR=12.004, 95% CI: 1.234-116.807, P=0.032), PFS( HR=6.115, 95% CI: 1.325-28.221, P=0.020)]were the independent poor prognostic factor affecting both OS and PFS in elderly lymphoma patients. Conclusions:Auto-HSCT may improve the survival rate of carefully selected elderly patients with DLBCL.Pretransplant disease status and the number of CD34 + cells in the graft are important factors to predict the efficiency of auto-HSCT of the patients.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects and related mechanisms of Astragaloside Ⅳ(ASⅣ)alleviating Angiotensin II-induced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy.Methods:H9c2 cardiomyocytes were divided into six groups: normal control group, ASⅣ group(ASⅣ 100 μmol/L), AngⅡ group(AngⅡ 1 μmol/L), and three ASⅣ dose experiments(AngⅡ 1 μmol/L + ASⅣ 25 μmol/l group, AngⅡ 1 μmol/L+ ASⅣ 50 μmol/l group, AngⅡ1 μmol/L+ ASⅣ 100 μmol/L group), and simultaneously cultured for 24 hours.Cardiomyocyte viability was assessed by CCK8 assay, and surface area of culturedcardiomyocytes in each group was assessed by immunofluorescence assay.Atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)mRNA expression was assessed by fluorescence real-time quantitative RT-PCR.And LC3 protein expression, an autophagy related protein, was assessed by Western blotting as well as immunofluorescence.Results:(1)AngⅡ decreased cardiomyocyte H9c2 viability in a dose-dependent manner( P<0.05). ASⅣ could inhibit the decrease of cardiomyocyte H9c2 viability in response to AngⅡ in a dose-dependent manner( P<0.05). (2)H9c2 cardiomyocytes induced by AngⅡ showed a significantly larger cell area and significantly higher ANP mRNA and ANP protein expression compared with controls.Different concentrations of ASⅣ intervention could reverse the increase of cardiomyocyte H9c2 area induced by AngⅡ and also decreased the expression of ANP protein induced by AngⅡ in a dose-dependent manner(all P<0.05). (3)Compared with the control group, the autophagy level and the expression of autophagy marker LC3II/I of H9c2 cardiomyocytes induced by AngⅡ were significantly increased(all P<0.05). ASⅣ could inhibit AngⅡ-activated autophagy, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). ASⅣ inhibited the expression of LC3II/I in H9c2 cardiomyocytes stimulated by AngⅡ, and the difference was statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:ASⅣ inhibits AngⅡ-induced cardiac hypertrophy by inhibiting autophagy of cardiomyocytes.
