Objective To explore the causal relationship between breast cancer and free fatty acid receptor 4(FFAR4)by using two-sample Mendelian randomization.Methods By using Genome-wide Association Studies and expression quantitative trait locus(eQTL)data,single nucleotide polymorphism sites closely related to breast cancer and FFAR4 were extracted.Causal effect values were calculated by using five methods:inverse variance weighting(IVW),MR-Egger,weighted median,simple mode and weighted mode.Cochran Q tests were used to detect heterogeneity,MR-Egger intercept tests and MR-PRESSO tests were used to assess level multiplicity,and the hold-out method was employed for sensitivity analysis to ensure robustness of the results.Additionally,Bayesian co-location analysis was used to evaluate whether FFAR4 expression shares the same causal genetic variant with breast cancer in given genomic region.Results A total of 12 eQTLs closely related to FFAR4 expression levels were included in this study.The results of IVW analysis showed that increased FFAR4 expression levels increased the risk of overall breast cancer,Luminal A,Luminal B/HER2-negative,and HER2-enhanced subtypes of breast cancer.The co-location analysis showed that the posterior probability of FFAR4 expression level and total breast cancer shared causal variation was 0.889.Conclusion There may be a causal relationship between FFAR4 expression and breast cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) on the postoperative quality of recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 100 patients of either sex, aged 18-75 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-29.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery, were allocated into 2 groups ( n=50 each) in a 1∶1 ratio using a random number table method: liposomal bupivacaine TAPB group (LB group) and hydrochloric bupivacaine TAPB group (HB group). Before anesthesia induction, ultrasound-guided bilateral TAPB was performed, liposomal bupivacaine (266 mg) 40 ml (20 ml per side) was injected in LB group, and bupivacaine hydrochloride (100 mg) 40 ml (20 ml per side) was injected in HB group. When pain scores at rest ≥4 within 72 h after the end of surgery, patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine injectio 3 mg was used. The Quality of Recovery-15 scale score was recorded at 24, 48 and 72 h postoperatively. The time to first rescue analgesia and total consumption of morphine within 72 h after operation were recorded. The occurrence of adverse reactions, including nausea and vomiting, urinary retention, pruritus, local anesthetic toxicity and hematoma at the puncture site, was recorded within 72 h after surgery. Results:Compared to HB group, Quality of Recovery-15 scale scores were significantly increased at 24, 48 and 72 h postoperatively, the time to first rescue analgesia was prolonged, the consumption of morphine was reduced within 72 h postoperatively, and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was decreased( P<0.05), and no statistically significant changes in the incidence of urinary retention or pruritus were found within 72 h postoperatively in LB group ( P>0.05). No local anesthetic toxicity or hematoma at the puncture site occurred in either group. Conclusions:Liposomal bupivacaine TAPB can improve the postoperative quality of recovery in the patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer.

Based on the investigative research of the construction, implementation, and assessment of ideological and political education in the Cardiology curriculum at Tongji University, three main problems were concluded: the teaching methods were not suitable for the current needs of ideological and political construction in the curriculum; the professional knowledge teaching and ideological and political education were disconnected; and the quality of teaching evaluation was not high. The teaching team conducted detailed research and exploration through reforming the teaching mode, building an ideological and political material library and innovating the integration of ideological and political education with the curriculum, and innovating the evaluation system for the professional learning and ideological and political education of the curriculum, and designed an innovative method to implement curriculum ideology and politics based on material library refining combined with investigation feedback. Teaching practice verified that the method could effectively solve the three problems. The effectiveness monitoring after class demonstrated that the new method achieved the expected results, and the ideological and political construction of the Cardiology curriculum had significant improvements, proving that the method is practical and worth being promoted.

OBJECTIVE To establish the precise management model for the centralized preparation of cytotoxic drugs in pharmacy intravenous admixture services(PIVAS),and evaluate the effects of its application.METHODS Pharmacists in PIVAS established the precise management model by soliciting clinical opinions and consulting literature on the centralized preparation of cytotoxic drugs and continuously refining every step of the preparation of cytotoxic drugs,based on data feedback from the information closed-loop management system and the limit of stability time of finished solutions.The indicators such as the preparation time,delivery time,the storage time of finished infusion solutions after preparation,and the completion rate of infusion within the stability time limit were analyzed before the implementation(January to December 2023)and after the implementation(January to December 2024)of this model,to evaluate its application effectiveness.RESULTS The overall framework for the precise management model included upgrading the functions of the prescription review system,improving the prescription review database,providing specialized training for PIVAS pharmacists,managing dynamic batch decision for drug preparation,managing special drugs,managing finished infusion distribution,and establishing a continuous improvement mechanism.Compared with before implementation,the average preparation time of the second and third batches of cytotoxic drugs with more concentrated morning preparation tasks in this model was significantly shorter than before implementation(P＜0.05);the delivery time of finished infusion after implementation[(11.49±2.92)min]was significantly shorter than the delivery time before implementation[(22.11±5.03)min](P＜0.001);the storage time of some drugs with shorter stable time limit and carboplatin in combination regimens(paclitaxel or docetaxel+carboplatin)was significantly shortened compared to before implementation(P＜0.05),and the completion rate of infusion within the stability time limit was significantly improved compared to before implementation(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS Our hospital has successfully established a precise management model for the centralized preparation of cytotoxic drugs in PIVAS.This mode can significantly shorten the preparation time of each batch of PIVAS in the morning,make batch decisions more reasonable and improve the infusion completion rate within the stable time limit of the finished product.

Objective: To investigate the implementation of sex education and its influencing factors among preschool teachers in Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, so as to provide insights into promoting the development of sex education, physical and mental health for preschool children. Methods: In January 2022, preschool teachers were sampled in 24 kindergartens in Longmatan District, Naxi District and Hejiang County of Luzhou City using the stratified random cluster sampling method. Demographic information, knowledge, attitudes, implementation of sex education, as well as difficulties, support, and needs in implementing sex education among preschool teachers were collected through questionnaire surveys. Factors affecting practice of sex education by preschool teachers were analyzed using a multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 461 preschool teachers were included, including 456 females (98.92%), and had a median age of 28.00 (interquartile range, 9.50) years. The proportions of preschool teachers with good and pass of knowledge about sex education for preschool children were 10.20% and 57.48%, respectively. The proportions of preschool teachers with positive and general attitudes towards sex education were 28.20% and 36.44%, respectively. A total of 343 preschool teachers had implemented sex education (74.40%). A lack of a relaxed social environment was the main difficulty in carrying out sex education for preschool children (76.14%), while support from parents of preschool children was the primary need for conducting sex education activities (75.27%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (>30 years, OR=2.218, 95%CI: 1.256-3.917), kindergarten type (public, OR=2.101, 95%CI: 1.253-3.524), attitude towards sex education (positive, OR=2.083, 95%CI: 1.036-4.187), participation in activities related to sex education (OR=6.355, 95%CI: 3.362-12.015), and communication with parents about sex education (OR=5.399, 95%CI: 3.152-9.248) were influencing factors for practice of sex education by preschool teachers. Conclusions The main difficulty in the practice of sex education for preschool children by preschool teachers in Luzhou City is a lack of a relaxed social environment, and there is a high demand for support from parents. Age, kindergarten type, attitude towards sex education, participation in activities related to sex education, and communication with parents about sex education are associated factors.

Objective·To explore the effect of continuous nursing based on EMS[environment management(E),medicine direction(M)and self monitoring(S)]management mode on the preschool children with asthmatic diseases.Methods·A total of 67 children aged 0 to 6 years with asthmatic diseases admitted to the Department of Respiratory Medicine,Shanghai Children's Hospital,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from December 2019 to November 2020 were selected and divided into observation group(33 cases)and control group(34 cases)according to the random number table method,with 3 cases lost,and finally 32 cases in each group.The observation group received continuous nursing care based on EMS management mode,while the control group received routine care and discharge follow-up through the telephone.The children in the two groups were followed up at 1,3,and 6 months after discharge to evaluate the results of Test for Respiratory and Asthma Control in Kids(TRACK)and wheezing recurrence;Medication Adherence Report Scale for Asthma(MARS-A)and Nursing Job Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to evaluate medication adherence and nursing job satisfaction 6 months after discharge.Results·There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics and clinical baseline characteristics between the two groups.Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that effects of time,groups and the interaction of groups×time on the total score of TRACK were statistically significant.The total scores of TRACK in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 1,3,and 6 months after discharge(P=0.000).The total scores of TRACK in the two groups gradually increased with time(P=0.000).The recurrence rates of wheezing in the observation group were 25.0%,18.7%,and 9.4%at 1,3,and 6 months after discharge,which were significantly lower than those in the control group(50.0%,43.7%,and 31.3%,respectively,P<0.05).Generalized estimating equation analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P=0.013),and the intervention effect of the observation group was better than that of the control group(OR=0.292).The MARS-A score of the observation group was 4.519±0.395 at 6 months after discharge,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(3.994±0.739,P=0.001).The nursing job satisfaction of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P=0.000).There was a moderate positive correlation between the MARS-A score and the nursing job satisfaction(r=0.389,P=0.001).Conclusion·Continuous nursing based on EMS management mode can significantly improve the medication compliance and wheezing control level of the preschool children with asthmatic diseases,significantly reduce the recurrence rate of wheezing,and improve the nursing satisfaction.

ObjectiveTo decipher the mechanism of Wenxiao powder in alleviating corticosterone-induced depression-like behaviors in mice. MethodMale ICR mice were randomized into normal， model， paroxetine （20 mg·kg^-1）， and low- and high-dose （3.27， 6.54 g·kg^-1， respectively） Wenxiao powder groups. The mice in normal and model groups received equal volume of saline. Other groups except the normal group were injected with corticosterone subcutaneously 0.5 h after gavage to induce depression. Mice were tested for depression-like behaviors after drug administration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was performed to measure the corticosterone content in the serum. Nissl staining was performed to observe the damage of hippocampal neurons. Immunofluorescence staining was employed to observe the expression of double cortin （DCX） in the dentate gyrus （DG） of the hippocampus. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of proteins in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）/tyrosine kinase receptor B （TrkB）/extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK）/cAMP-response element-binding protein （CREB） pathway in the hippocampus. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed decreased sucrose preference rate， increased immobility time in the tail suspension test （P<0.01）， and reduced residence time in the central area of the open field and the total movement distance （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， the modeling elevated the corticosterone level in the serum （P<0.01）， decreased the volume and intensified the nuclear staining of hippocampal neurons in the DG area， reduced the expression of DCX in the DG area， and down-regulated the protein levels of BDNF， phosphorylated （p）-TrkB， p-ERK， and p-CREB in the hippocampus （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， low-dose Wenxiao powder improved the mouse behavivors in the sucrose preference， open field， and tail suspension tests （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and high-dose Wenxiao powder improved the behaviors in the sucrose preference and open field tests （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In addition， Wenxiao powder lowered the serum corticosterone level （P<0.01） and recovered the structure and morphology of neurons with obvious nuclei and presence of Nissl bodies in the DG area of the hippocampus. Moreover， Wenxiao powder at both doses promoted the expression of DCX in the DG area， and high-dose Wenxiao powder up-regulated the protein levels of BDNF， p-TrkB， p-ERK， and p-CREB in the hippocampus （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionWenxiao powder can alleviate corticosterone-induced depression-like behaviors and promote neurogenesis in mice possibly by activating the BDNF/TrkB/ERK/CREB signaling pathway.
