Aim To study the effect of evodiamine(EVO)regulating forkhead box protein Ml(FOXM1)on the proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer-resistant cells HCT8/5-FU.Methods CCK-8 assay and EdU assay were used to detect the effect of EVO on cell proliferation ability.Clone formation assay was employed to detect the effect of EVO on the clone for-mation ability of cells.Flow cytometric counting was applied to detect apoptosis.Western blot was utilized to detect the expression of cellular Bcl-2,Bax,FOXM1,β-catenin,c-MYC,and CyclinD1;Molecular docking was used to explore the EVO-FOXM1 interac-tion.Nude mouse transplant tumor model was estab-lished to validate the effect of EVO on HCT8/5-FU cells in vivo.Results CCK-8 assay showed that EVO inhibited the proliferation of HCT8/5-FU cells in a time-and concentration-dependent manner.EdU assay found that the newly proliferated cells in the EVO-trea-ted group were significantly reduced.The results of the clone formation assay showed that EVO inhibited the clone-forming ability of HCT8/5-FU cells.Flow cyto-metric counting found that apoptosis rate of the cells in the EVO group significantly increased.Western blot showed that FOXM1 and β-catenin were significantly highly expressed in HCT8/5-FU cells,and EVO down-regulated the expression of FOXM1,β-cateniin,c-MYC,CyclinD1,and Bcl-2,and up-regulated the ex-pression of Bax.Molecular docking revealed strong in-teractions between EVO and FOXM1.The in vivo ex-perimental results demonstrated that EVO exerted a substantial inhibitory effect on the growth of subcutane-ously implanted HCT8/5-FU xenograft tumors and regulated the expression of related proteins.HE stai-ning revealed significant nuclear consolidation and fragmentation of tumor cells in the EVO group.Con-clusions The findings suggest that EVO could sup-press the activation of the Wnt signaling pathway through a mechanism involving the downregulation of FOXM1 protein expression,thus inhibiting the prolifer-ation of HCT8/5-FU cells and induce their apoptosis.

Objective:To explore the types and characteristics of self-management behaviors among stroke patients, as well as to analyze the influencing factors associated with these different types, providing a reference for developing intervention programs aimed at enhancing self-management behaviors in stroke patients.Methods:This study adopted a cross-sectional survey design. The stroke inpatients were selected through convenience sampling from the Department of Neurology at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University between October 2023 and August 2024. Data collection was conducted using the following instruments: the General Information Questionnaire, Stroke Self-Management Behavior Rating Scale, Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale, Stroke Health Knowledge Questionnaire, Social Support Rating Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the modified Rankin Scale. Stroke patients' self-management behaviors were categorized using systematic cluster analysis, and disordered multi-class Logistic regression was employed to identify the influencing factors associated with each category.Results:Finally, 210 stroke patients were enrolled, there were 148 males and 62 females, aged (60.82 ± 13.05) years. The total score of self-management behavior in stroke patients was (144.18 ± 23.24) points, with a score rate of 56.54%. Systematic cluster analysis identified four distinct self-management behaviors patterns: consistent implementers (25.71%, 54/210); unrealistically optimistic(54.76%, 115/210); optimistically proactive (13.81%, 29/210); and passive and resigned (5.71%, 12/210). Disordered multi-class Logistic regression analysis indicated that higher scores in stroke-related health knowledge were associated with a greater likelihood of being categorized as stable practice type and optimistic proactive type ( OR=1.130, 1.254, both P<0.05). Conversely, increased levels of depression correlate with a higher probability of being classified as passive waiting type ( OR=0.684, 0.722, 0.540, all P<0.05). Additionally, lower modified Rankin Scale scores were linked to an increased tendency to fall into the categories of stable practice type and blind optimism type ( OR=19.759, 23.148, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The self-management behaviors of stroke patients are generally suboptimal and exhibited distinct classification features. Significant differences are observed in stroke health knowledge, depression, and the modified Rankin Scale scores among the four patient types. Healthcare professionals should tailor intervention measures to the characteristics of each type to enhance patients' self-management capacity.

Aim To explore the underlying molecular mechanism of Alisol A 24-acetate(24A)in improving oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)injury in brain microvascular endothelial cells(BMECs)and its correlation with miR-98-5p/transi-ent receptor potential melastatin-2(TRPM2).Meth-ods The ischemia-reperfusion injury in brain micro-vascular endothelial cells(BMECs)was established u-sing bEnd.3 cells subjected to 8 h of oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by 16 h of re-oxygenation.The cells were intervened by miR-98-5p mimics and/or 18.77 μmol·L-1 24A for 24 h and divided into the control group,OGD/R group,OGD/R+24A group,OGD/R+24A+miR-98-5p mimics group and OGD/R+miR-98-5p mimics group.The mRNA levels of miR-98-5p and TRPM2 were detected by qPCR.IL-1 β and TNF-α levels were detected by ELISA.The expression levels of TRPM2,p-AKT,p-GSK3 β,AKT,GSK3 β,Bcl-2,Bax,ZO-1,Occludin,Claudin-5 were detected by Western blot.Apoptosis and reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were detected by flow cytometry.The targeting relationship between miR-98-5p and TRPM2 was verified using dual luciferase assay.Results Compared with the control group,the apoptosis of OGD/R group was obvious,Bcl-2/Bax decreased,ZO-1,Occludin,Claudin-5 decreased,IL-1 β,TNF-α and ROS increased,miR-98-5p,p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK3β/GSK3β decreased but TRPM2 increased.But com-pared with the OGD/R group,except the control group,the other three groups showed the opposite trend in the above aspects;compared with the OGD/R+24A group,OGD/R+24A+miR-98-5p mimics group showed decreased apoptosis,decreased degradation of ZO-1,Occludin and Claudin-5,and decreased inflam-mation and ROS.miR-98-5p,p-AKT/AKT,p-GSK3β/GSK3β increased and TRPM2 decreased.However,compared with the OGD/R+24A+miR-98-5p mimics group,the OGD/R+miR-98-5p mimics group reversed this trend.Dual luciferase confirmed that miR-98-5p targeted regulation of TRPM2.Conclusion 24A in-hibits the expression of TRPM2 in BMECs through miR-98-5p,regulates AKT/GSK3β signal pathway,re-duces OGD/R inflammation and oxidative stress-medi-ated apoptosis,prevents the degradation of ZO-1,Oc-cludin and Claudin-5,and improves BBB permeability.

Aim To systematically investigate the ac-tive components,targets,and regulatory pathways of Po-lygonum capitatum in intervening atherosclerosis(AS)through network pharmacology,molecular docking and animal experiments.Methods Active components of Polygonum capitatum and AS-related targets were screened and identified through database searches.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis was performed using the STRING database,followed by GO and KEGG enrichment analyses via the David plat-form.Molecular docking validation was conducted with AutoDock.An AS model was established in Syrian golden hamsters fed a high-fat diet.Predicted pathways and targets were validated using qPCR,ELISA,and histopathological assessment of aortic and hepatic tis-sues via HE staining.Results Network pharmacology identified 27 potential active components of Polygonum capitatum(primarily flavonoids such as quercetin and luteolin)and 110 drug-disease intersection targets,in-cluding core targets MMP-9,ALB,and AKT1.GO and KEGG analyses enriched 593 and 125 pathways,re-spectively,with the NF-κB inflammatory pathway,TNF signaling pathway and lipid metabolism/atherosclerosis pathways highlighted as key mechanisms.Animal ex-periments demonstrated that Polygonum capitatum im-proved serum lipid profiles(reduced TC,TG,LDL-C)in AS hamsters,suppressed the MMP-9/NF-κB signa-ling pathway(downregulated MMP-9,p65 phosphoryla-tion,TNF-α,and IL-6),and inhibited VSMC synthetic phenotypic transformation(upregulated α-SMA and myocardin)by downregulating MCPIP1.Additionally,Polygonum capitatum ameliorated aortic lesions and he-patic lipid deposition in AS hamsters.Conclusions Polygonum capitatum alleviates AS by synergistically regulating the MMP-9/NF-κB/MCPIP1 axis through flavonoid components,suppressing vascular inflammato-ry cascades and maintaining VSMC contractile pheno-types.This reflects Polygonum capitatum's multi-com-ponent,multi-pathway,and multi-target characteristics in combating AS.

Objective:To explore the factors influencing ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses.Methods:Using purposive sampling, 15 oncology nurses from 13 tertiary general hospitals in Foshan, Guangdong Province were selected as research participants from July to September 2023. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted, and Colaizzi's seven-step content analysis method was applied to organize and analyze the collected data.Results:A total of 4 themes were summarized: insufficient clinical experience and knowledge reserve; lack of ethical education and management system processes; high-pressure working environment and communication barriers; and the constraints of the cultural concept of "valuing life over death".Conclusions:Oncology nurses have insufficient ethical sensitivity. Nursing managers should establish a systematic ethical education system, improve ethical management systems, optimize the clinical working environment, and integrate cultural sensitivity education to jointly enhance nurses' communication skills. Attention should also be paid to the inheritance of clinical experience from senior nurses, so as to improve the ethical sensitivity of oncology nurses in a multidimensional way.
