Objective To investigate the expression of centromere protein U(CENPU)in the intestinal tissues of patients with colon cancer,and to analyze the effect of CENPU expression level on the prognosis of patients with colon cancer combined with bioinformatics.Methods Firstly,the expression of CENPU in cancer tissues and normal tissues of colon cancer patients was analyzed by the expression of CENPU in tissues was further verified by real-time quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),Western blot(WB)and immunohistochemistry(IHC).Combined with clinical data,univariate and multivariate Cox regression are used to analyze the correlation between CENPU expression and clinical case parameters of colon cancer patients.Then,the predictive effect of CENPU expression on the prognosis of colon cancer patients are explored by drawing receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and Kaplan-Meier survival curve.Finally,the possible molecular mechanism of the effect of CENPU expression on the progression of colon cancer are analyzed by bioinformatics.Results By qRT-PCR,WB and IHC experiments,we find that compared with normal tissues,the expression of CENPU in cancer tissues of colon cancer patients is significantly increased.Cox regression analysis show that the expression of CENPU is significantly correlated with the age and TNM stage of patients,and is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients.Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis show that colon cancer patients with high CENPU expression has significantly lower survival rates.ROC curve show that the model based on CENPU expression has a high predictive power for the prognosis of colon cancer patients area under the curve(AUC=0.832).Bioinformatics analysis show that CENPI,CENPN,CENPD,CENPK,CENPP,CENPM,CENPQ,CENPH,NDC80 and ITGB3BP have significant interaction with CENPU gene.CENPU is involved in DNA repair,MYC/TARGETS/V1 and PI3K/AKT/MTOR signaling pathways.Conclusion High expression of CENPU in cancer tissues of patients with colon cancer is significantly associated with poor prognosis of patients,suggesting that CENPU is expected to be a potential target for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of patients with colon cancer.

Objective:To explore the latent categories of outpatient nurses' conflict management styles and analyze their influencing factors.Methods:A total of 408 outpatient nurses from six hospitals of Jiangsu Province were selected as study participants by convenience sampling. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory Scale, the Nurse Burnout Scale, the Caring Ability Inventory Scale and the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. Latent profile analysis was used to classify the conflict management styles of outpatient nurses, and logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the influencing factors of different categories.Results:A total of 408 questionnaires were distributed, and 372 valid responses were received, with an effective response rate of 91.18%. Outpatient nurses' conflict management styles were divided into two categories: the "Integration-Concession Group" and the "Dominance-Avoidance Group." Logistic regression analysis showed that being an only child, receiving interpersonal communication training, nurse burnout, humanistic care ability, and emotional intelligence were significant influencing factors of the latent categories of conflict management styles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is heterogeneity in outpatient nurses' conflict management styles. It is recommended that nursing administrators adopt a comprehensive approach, conduct thorough assessments of nurses' general conditions and personality traits, guide nurses toward adopting positive conflict management methods, and enhance their abilities in problem-solving and conflict resolution. This can improve interpersonal relationships and work efficiency in medical settings, stabilize the outpatient nursing workforce, and improve the overall quality of nursing services.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of nurses′ self-efficacy in palliative care between the past behavioral experience of end-of-life care and core competence, and provide theoretical reference for improving the core competence of clinical nurses in palliative care.Methods:579 clinical nurses from 2 tertiary general hospitals in Shandong Province were investigated by convenience sampling method using general information questionnaire, nurses′ self-efficacy questionnaire for palliative care and palliative care nurses′ core competency questionnaire. The data were analyzed by SPSS 25.0.Results:The total score of core competence of hospice care of 579 nurses was (71.41 ± 22.74), nurses′ self-efficacy of palliative care was positively correlated with their core competence ( r = 0.648, P<0.01), past behavior experience was positively correlated with self-efficacy ( r = 0.479, P<0.01), positively correlated with core competence ( r = 0.427, P<0.01). Nurses′ self-efficacy of palliative care played a partial mediating role between the pastbehavioral experience and core competence, which accounted for 64.67% of the total effect. Conclusions:The past behavioral experience of end-stage nursing can directly or indirectly affect the core competence of nurses in palliative care through self-efficacy. It can improve the core competence of palliative care by taking active measures to enrich the past behavioral experience of end-of-life care and improve self-efficacy.

  Objective  To study the demographic and clinical characteristics, correlation of genotype and phenotype and treatment of Blau syndrome to facilitate early diagnosis and timely treatment of Blau syndrome.  Methods  Seventy-two patients with Blau syndrome from 11 centers from May 2006 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, and their general information, clinical data, laboratory examination and treatment medication were collected.  Results  The distribution of patients with Blau syndrome was uniform in geographical north and south of China, and there was no obvious gender bias. The mean age of onset was (14.30±12.81) months, and the age of diagnosis was (55.18±36.22) months. 35% of patients with Blau syndrome happened before 1 year old, and all patients developed before 5 years old. 87.50% (63/72) had granulomatous arthritis, 65.28% (47/72) had rash, 36.11% (26/72) had ocular involvement, 27.78% (20/72) had fever, and 15.28% (11/72) had pulmonary involvement. Arthritic manifestations of Blau syndrome were most at risk, followed by rash, ocular involvement, and fever.The first 25 months of the disease, the risk of developing a rash was the greatest. The risk of developing arthritis was the greatest between 25 months and 84 months. The main mutations were p.R334Q and p.R334W, and patients with p.R334Q mutation had relatively high incidence of fever (35.71%[5/14] vs. 14.29%[1/7], P=0.43) and ocular involvement (42.86%[6/14]vs. 28.57%[2/7], P=0.51). There was a relatively high incidence of rash (85.71%[6/7] vs. 64.29%[9/14], P=0.59) in patients with the p.R334W mutation. Forty-five patients(62.50%)were treated with a combina-tion of glucocorticoid and methotrexate. Twenty-two patients were treated with tumor necrosis factor antagonist in addition to glucocorticoid and methotrexate.  Conclusions  The risk of different clinical manifestations of Blau syndrome from high to low was arthritis, followed by rash, ocular involvement and fever. The main treatment was glucocorticoid combined with methotrexate, to which biological agents could be added.

Objective To analysis the common abnormalities in fetus with ventriculomegaly and clinical significance. Methods Collected from March 2010 to December 2016,298 cases of pregnant women whose fetus with ventriculomegaly and accepted the prenatal diagnosis of pregnancy,including 109 cases of isolated cerebral ventriculomegaly(IVM),and 189 cases of non-isolated cerebral ventriculomegaly(NIVM).They were divided into mild groups(10.0-11.9 mm),moderate group(12.0-14.9 mm)and severe group(≥15.0 mm)according to the width of the lateral ventricle. Results(1)The most common abnormality of the NIVM were neurodevelopmental system(37.30%,94/252);The second was ultrasonic soft index(27.78%,70/252).(2)The most frequent combi-nation in mild group was ultrasonographic soft mark anomalies(44.76%,47/105),followed by other ultrasonic indi-cators(18.10%,19/105).The abnormal incidence of central nervous system was higher in middle group(45.16%, 42/93),followed by ultrasonic soft index abnormality(21.51%,20/93).The abnormality of the central nervous sys-tem was 62.96%(34/54)in severe group,followed by an abnormal(14.81%,8/54).(3)There was a difference in the nervous system and the ultrasonic-soft indicator between the non-isolated lateral ventricle dilation with different lateral ventricle widths(P<0.001).There was no difference in cardiovascular abnormalities. Conclusion Prena-tal ultrasound revealed that fetus with cerebral ventriculomegaly should carefully examine whether other abnormali-ties existed to determine the prognosis of the fetus and whether intervention should be taken.There was a difference between the different types of lateral ventricle and the prognosis.

Objective To investigate pregnancy outcomes and neurodevelopment in fetuses with ventriculomegaly. Methods This was a cohort study of 173 gravidas with singleton pregnancy who were diagnosed with fetal ventriculomegaly by ultrasound in Prenatal Diagnostic Center of Nanfang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from March 2010 to July 2016. Thirty normal gravidas who received antenatal care in the same hospital and at the same period were selected as control. Clinical data were collected. Gravidas who had chosen to continue their pregnancy were followed up to monitor the variations of fetal ventricular. Fetal mild and moderate ventriculomegaly were respectively defined as a ventricular atrial width of 10-12 mm and >12 mm but <15 mm. Isolated ventriculomegaly (IVM) indicated those without any other ultrasound abnormalities, otherwise the case would be defined as non-isolated ventriculomegaly (NIVM). Among the 173 gravidas, 54 cases were mild IVM, 53 mild NIVM, 26 moderate IVM and 40 moderate NIVM. Fetuses with chromosome abnormalities were excluded from the study. Neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) was used to analyze the neonatal neurodevelopment at the age of 7 days, and Bayley scales of infant development was used to evaluate the development of nervous system at the age of 6 months through analyzing their mental development index (MDI) and psychomotor development index (PDI). Statistical methods included t test, χ2 test (or Fisher's exact test), nonparametric test, Mann-Whitney test and multiple Kruskal-Wallis H test. Results (1) Among the 107 fetuses with mild ventriculomegaly, 72.9％ (78), 23.4％ (25) and 3.7％ (4) of them regressed, stabilized and progressed,respectively; however, among the 66 moderate cases, the figures were 45.4％ (30), 37.9％ (25) and 16.7％ (11) respectively (χ2=15.769, P<0.001). For those in the IVM and NIVM subgroups within the moderate ventriculomegaly group, significant difference was shown [17(65.4％), 8(30.8％) and 1(3.8％) vs 13(32.5％), 17(42.5％) and 10(25.0％), χ2=8.552, P=0.014], but not within the mild groups (χ2=2.412, P=0.299). (2) There were 164 gravidas who continued their pregnancy and delivered. Significant differences in NBNA score were observed between the ventriculomegaly group and the control (37.70±1.80 vs 38.53±1.38, t= - 2.424, P<0.05). Numbers of neonates with NBNA score < 36 and ≥ 36 points were 5(4.7％) and 101(95.3％) in the mild group, and 8(13.8％) and 50(86.2％) in the moderate group (χ2=4.231, P=0.004). There was significant difference in NBNA score between the IVM and NIVM subgroup within neither mild nor moderate group (χ2 were 0.210 and 0.201, P were 1.000 and 0.720). (3) Totally, 137 cases completed the assessment of nervous system development at the age of 6 months. There was significant difference in PDI score between the ventriculomegaly group and the control (90.50±10.85 vs 95.80±9.65, t= - 2.471, P=0.014), but not in MDI score (95.42+11.20 vs 99.50+12.00, t= - 1.786, P=0.076). (4) The comparison of the proportion of excellent, average and poor PDI scores: Significant differences were found between the IVM and NIVM subgroup within the moderate ventriculamegaly group and in the different intrauterine outcome groups [IVM vs NIVM groups: 3(15.0％), 16(80.0％) and 1(5.0％) vs 1(3.1％), 24(75.0％) and 7(21.9％),Z= - 2.097, P=0.036;intrauterine regression, stable and progress group: 9(10.6％), 75(88.2％) and 1(1.2％);3(6.5％), 37(80.4％) and 6(13.1％) vs 0, 2(2/6) and 4(4/6), χ2=19.808, P<0.001], but not between the mild and moderate vetriculamegaly group, or between the subgroups within the mild ones (Z were - 1.869 and - 1.946, P were 0.062 and 0.052). (5) The comparison of the proportion of excellent, average and poor scores of MDI: Significant difference was only found among the different intrauterine outcome groups[13(15.3％), 71(83.5％), 1(1.2％); 2(4.4％), 41(89.1％), 3(6.5％) vs 0, 5(5/6), 1(1/6); χ2=7.980, P=0.018], but not in any other comparisons (all P>0.05). Conclusions Prognosis of fetal ventriculomegaly is affected by co-existed abnormalities and intrauterine progression. Fetus with mild ventriculomegaly can also have risk of abnormal neural development, suggesting that we should pay much attention to such cases and a regular follow-up is required.

Objective: To investigate the anatomical characteristics of the parathyroid lymphatic system and the mechanism of the"negative development"of the carbon nanoparticles for parathyroid gland in thyroidectomy.Methods:This retrospective study used parathyroid tissue samples from patients that were obtained from archival records in the pathology department,including 45 cases of normal parathyroid gland tissues that were accidentally resected in thyroidectomy,10 cases of parathyroid adenomas,and 7 cases of parathyroid carcinoma.Ten cases of normal thyroid tissues were selected as positive control.Immunohistochemistry was performed using the antibodies specific for lymphatic endothelium,such as D2-40 and LYVE-1,and antibodies specific for vascular endothelial cell such as CD31 and CD34,to distinguish them from each other.Results:A total of 62 parathyroid glands samples were stained with vas-cular markers CD31,CD34 and lymphatic markers D2-40,LYVE-1 respectively(partial samples were stained unsuccessfully).Vascular vessels in the CD31 staining group were detected in 50 of 58 examined glands and the positive rate was 86.2%.In the CD34 staining group,positive rate was 100%(60/60).The positive cells were found in the central,periphery and vascular hilum of the glands.Howev-er,lymph vessels in the D2-40 staining group were detected from 17 out of 59 examined glands,with the positive rate of 28.8%;In the LYVE-1 staining group,positive rate was 39.6%(23/58).The positive cells were found in the membrane or vascular hilum,less frequent or undetectable in the central portion.Conclusions:Most of the parathyroid glands of adults might lack a lymphatic network.Only a few adult parathyroid glands had minority lymph vessels,and these lymphatics generally localized at the membrane area or in the vas-cular hilum, which could be one of the main and anatomical mechanisms resulting in drainage failure or obstruction of carbon nanoparticles and thus in parathyroid"negative development."

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of fetus diagnosed as mild and moderate isolated ventriculomegaly(IVM)and its correlation with imaging follow-up. Methods Totally,161 cases of single pregnancy whose fetus was diagnosed as mild or moderate IVM by ultrasound were administrated. Data of prenatal ultrasound examination, pregnancy outcomes, and the postnatal MRI results were collected. New borns' growth and development, language expression, movement coordination, auditory and visual function were followed up to evaluate the neurodevelopment. Results (1)Before birth:80.1%(129/161) of IVM disappeared before the delivery, 16.1%(26/161)remained stable, and 3.7%(6/161)continued to deteriorate.(2)Postnatal MRI: 8 cases(9.6%, 8/83)were diagnosed IVM, of which 3 cases were found additional abnormalities(1 case was the corpus callosum dysplasia and 2 cases were leukodystrophy). The additional abnormal detection rate was 3/8.(3)Postnatal assessments: There were 7 cases(8.9%, 7/79) neunatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA), 6 cases (7.6%, 6/79) Bayley scales of infant development (BSID)-psychomotor developmental index(PDI) and 3 cases (3.8%, 3/79) BSID-mental development index(MDI) whose scores were low. There was no significant difference of the NBNA and BSID scores between mild and moderate IVM (NBNA: x2=2.042,P=0.210; BSID-PDI: x2=-1.359,P=0.174; BSID-MDI: x2=-1.205,P=0.228). Follow-up of 9 cases(11.4%, 9/79)with low BSID score, 6 of them were found to be stable in the medial ventricle of the uterus, and the size of the lateral ventricle was normal after birth by ultrasound and MRI. Conclusions The majority of IVM fetuses have good prognosis, but there is also a risk of neurodevelopmental dysplasia. The postnatal follow-up should be paid attention to, and MRI should be performed as the postnatal imaging evaluation.
