Objective:From the perspective of behavioral economics,it analyzes the reasons for the low utilization rate of palliative care and propose intervention measures,to promote the acceptance and application of palliative care by terminal cancer patients and their families.Methods:Using the theories and methods of behavioral economics to explore how cognitive and behavioral biases lead to irrational medical decisions in the choice of palliative care;based on the dual-process theory and nudge method,it aims to construct an intervention model for"palliative"care decision-making and propose intervention strategies.Results:Terminal cancer patients and their families with bounded rationality tend to prefer short-term aggressive treatment plans while making decisions,and use the extension of survival as the decision anchor point,weakening the influence of quality of life factors.The lack of sound mechanisms related to palliative care will further increase the cognitive bias of cancer patients and their families,putting them in a negative choice framework and risking losses,leading to the abandonment of more rational palliative care plans.Conclusion:By adopting the"perceptual-rational"thinking from the dual-process theory,transforming inter-temporal selection into the most cost-effective option,anchoring treatment expectations to patients'quality of life,increasing the value of palliative care benefits,and constructing a supportive selection framework as a target for intervention,it can help promote the use of palliative care.

OBJECTIVES:
Health workers are at risk of workplace violence, which can seriously affects their mental health and work status. This study aims to explore the mediating role of depression between workplace violence and job burnout among healthcare workers.
METHODS:
From January 10 to February 5, 2019, a questionnaire was distributed to frontline healthcare workers through the wenjuanxing platform using convenient sampling (snowball sampling). The questionnaire included the Chinese version of the Workplace Violence Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaires (PHQ-2). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and mediation model tests were conducted on the cross-sectional data collection.
RESULTS:
The study included 3 684 participants, with (31.63±7.69) years old. Among them 2 079(56.43%) were experienced workplace violence, 687(18.65%) were screened positive for depression, and 2 247(60.99%) were experienced high levels of occupational burnout. Correlation analysis showed positive association between workplace violence and depression, workplace violence and occupational burnout, depression and occupational burnout (r=0.135, r=0.107, r=0.335, respectively, all P<0.001). After controlling for covariates, workplace violence had an indirect effect on occupational burnout through depression, with a standardized coefficient of 0.25 (SE=0.02, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.28), accounting for 13.87% of the total effect.
CONCLUSIONS
The study highlights the close relationship between workplace violence, depression, and occupational burnout among healthcare workers, with depression acting as a mediator between workplace violence and occupational burnout. This study suggests that it is necessary to improve the communication skills of healthcare workers, increase the installation of security systems and emergency plans, use new media platforms to convey positive energy between doctors and patients, and open channels for medical consultation and complaints. It is also necessary to provide guidance for healthcare workers' depressive emotions. Addressing depression among health care workers will help reduce the harm caused by workplace violence, protect the physical and mental health of healthcare workers, and reduce work burnout.

Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a serious type of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and can develop into life-threatening liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a type of pattern recognition receptor in innate immunity, and after being activated, it can trigger a cascade reaction and activate nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) which mediates inflammatory response. The TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway is a classic inflammatory pathway. In clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine has achieved a good effect in the treatment of NASH, and the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway is one of the approaches for traditional Chinese medicine to treat NASH. By searching the relevant literature, this article summarizes the active components and compounds of traditional Chinese medicine that can regulate the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway to alleviate NASH, so as to provide ideas for future research and medication.
