Objective To analyze the expression of serum microRNA(miR)-145 and miR-195 in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)and their relationship with cervical lymph node metastasis.Methods A total of 102 patients diagnosed with OSCC in the hospital from January 2020 to June 2022 were selected as OSCC group.Clinicopathological parameters of OSCC patients were collected and sorted.According to whether cervical lymph node metastasis occurred,the patients were divided into a cervical lymph node me-tastasis group(43 cases)and a non-cervical lymph node metastasis group(59 cases).In the same period,79 patients with precancerous lesion were selected as the precancerous lesion group,and 86 healthy subjects with-out oral disease were selected as the healthy control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195.The evaluation value of relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in cervical lymph node metastasis in OSCC patients was examined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.Results The relative expression lev-els of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in OSCC group were lower than those in precancerous lesion group and healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in precancerous lesion group were lower than those in healthy control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in OSCC patients with low tumor differentiation and TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ were lower than those in OSCC patients with medium/high tumor differentiation and TNM stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 in cervical lymph node metastasis group were lower than those in non-cervical lymph node metastasis group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The relative expression levels of serum miR-145 and miR-195 were 0.840(95％CI:0.765-0.915),0.832(95％CI:0.754-0.910)and 0.898(95％CI:0.754-0.910)of cervical lymph node metastasis in OSCC patients respectively.The specificity was 79.1％,88.4％and 77.5％,and the sensitivity was 74.6％,67.8％and 87.4％,respectively.Conclusion Serum miR-145 and miR-195 are low expressed in OSCC patients,and are related to cervical lymph node metastasis,tumor differentiation,and TNM stage in OSCC patients,which can be used as an important indicator to evaluate cervical lymph node metastasis in OS-CC patients.

Gynecologic malignant tumors are among the leading diseases threatening women's lives and health,with the highest morbidity and mortality rates among all female diseases.These tumors originate from female reproductive organs and are typically classified based on the affected site.Ovarian cancer(OC),endometrial cancer(EC)and cervical cancer(CCA)are the most common types.Currently,gynecologic malignant tumors are primarily treated with a combination of surgery,chemotherapy and radiotherapy,where drugs play a critical role in the treatment process.However,the actual clinical effectiveness is often influenced by various factors,such as adverse reactions due to drug toxicity and the drug resistance and insensitivity observed in some patients,which limit improvements in patient survival rates.Recent studies have shown that the same type of tumor exhibits significant biological characteristics and drug response heterogeneity among different individuals,which is a key factor contributing to the varied clinical outcomes when using the same drug treatment for the same type of gynecologic malignant tumor.To achieve individualized and precise treatment for gynecologic malignant tumors,there is an urgent need to develop in vitro models that closely resemble human tumors for clinical research.Drug screening is a technique used to identify and evaluate compounds with pharmacological activity and potential therapeutic effects,providing doctors with scientific guidance on drug use,thereby avoiding blind drug testing and reducing patients'therapeutic pain and economic burden by assessing the effects of different drugs under specific conditions.Organoid models have been extensively studied as an innovative drug screening tool and personalized medicine for treating gynecologic malignancies.Organoids are tissue-like structures with a specific spatial arrangement formed in vitro through three-dimensional cell culture,capable of highly simulating the structure and function of tissues in vivo and displaying histological and genotypic characteristics very similar to human organs.This approach has largely overcome the limitations of traditional tumor models,such as patient-derived cancer cell models and patient-derived tumor xenograft models,becoming an essential research tool in oncology.It provides a more physiologically relevant experimental platform for drug screening studies of gynecologic malignancies.This paper compared the advantages and disadvantages of several preclinical cancer models,reviewed the development process of organoids,and described the establishment of gynecologic oncology organoids and their application in drug screening for ovarian,endometrial,and cervical cancers.Additionally,we discussed the current limitations of organoid technology in its application and envisioned its future development,aiming to provide insights for future medical research,particularly in new drug discovery and personalized medicine.

Remodeling the tumor microenvironment through reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and increasing the immunogenicity of tumors via immunogenic cell death (ICD) have been emerging as promising anticancer immunotherapy strategies. However, the heterogeneous distribution of TAMs in tumor tissues and the heterogeneity of the tumor cells make the immune activation challenging. To overcome these dilemmas, a hybrid bacterium with tumor targeting and penetration, TAM polarization, and photothermal conversion capabilities is developed for improving antitumor immunotherapy in vivo. The hybrid bacteria (B.b@QDs) are prepared by loading Ag₂S quantum dots (QDs) on the Bifidobacterium bifidum (B.b) through electrostatic interactions. The hybrid bacteria with hypoxia targeting ability can effectively accumulate and penetrate the tumor tissues, enabling the B.b to fully contact with the TAMs and mediate their polarization toward M1 phenotype to reverse the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. It also enables to overcome the intratumoral heterogeneity and obtain abundant tumor-associated antigens by coupling tumor penetration of the B.b with photothermal effect of the QDs, resulting in an enhanced immune effect. This strategy that combines B.b-triggered TAM polarization and QD-induced ICD achieved a remarkable inhibition of tumor growth in orthotopic breast cancer.

Objective:To investigate the gap between the health education and the best evidence among nurses and patients with postdialysis fatigue (PDF) , find out the problems and analyze the reasons, and provide a reference and basis for future clinical nursing decisions among the dialysis room nurses.Methods:By searching the evidence-based guideline websites and integrating the best evidence comprehensively, a health knowledge questionnaire for dialysis room nurses and patients with PDF was made. In December 2018, a total of 7 nurses and 56 patients in the dialysis room of Dongzhimen Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were selected by purpose sampling method, and they were investigated by the health knowledge questionnaire for dialysis room nurses and patients.Results:The score of the PDF knowledge questionnaire for the 7 nurses was (56.43±4.37) , with a highest score of 64 and a lowest score of 51, and the standard-reaching rate was 28.57% (2/7) . The score of the PDF knowledge questionnaire for the 56 patients was (52.41±9.54) , with a highest score of 70 and a lowest score of 20, and the standard-reaching rate was 28.57% (16/56) . Patients and nurses received verbal health education and small lectures in the department, and there was no unified education content.Conclusions:There is no unified and scientific education content nor standardized education model. Evidence-based health education should be carried out for nurses to improve the awareness of nurses and patients in this regard, thereby reducing patients' fatigue.

This study reported two women with extreme obesity who underwent metabolic surgery due to their mutations in leptin receptor (LEPR).Genomic DNA was extracted from the anticoagulant blood samples of the two patients and their parents.A panel of genes related to metabolic diseases or whole exon sequencing was screened and the results were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.This is the first time that these three mutations in LEPR were reported.Two patients complained insatiety and early-onset obesity since childhood at clinics.Patient 1 was a 39-year-old woman with height 150 cm,weight 130 kg,and BMI 57.8 kg/m2.Serum leptin level was 156.4 μg/L.A homozygous mutation of c.2317G＞T was found in exon 15 of LEPR gene in patient 1,which was descended from her father and mother respectively.Patient 2 was a 37-year-old woman with height 158 cm,weight 167 kg,and BMI 67 kg/m2.Serum leptin level was 193.4 μg/L.Genetic analysis showed compound heterozygous mutations of c.1482delT and c.1892C ＞ A.Her father showed heterozygous c.1482delT mutation,and her mother carried heterozygous c.1892C ＞ A mutation.Two patients all underwent metabolic surgery with body weight reduction of about 22 kg and 40 kg respectively after first six months.However,the follow-up studies showed that the body weight of patient 1 rebounded to pre-surgery level in two years and patient 2 did not further lose weight in the following six months.

Objective: To explore an effective long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) signature in predicting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma through the analysis on RNA sequencing data of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and peritumoral tissues in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Methods: The clinical characteristics and RNA sequencing data of 377 hepatocellular carcinoma patients were obtained from TCGA database by the end of February 2018. Then, differentially expressed lncRNAs between 50 pairs of tumor and peritumoral tissues were explored using student’s t-test. Next, a lncRNA signature was established through LASSO Cox regression analysis. All the patients were divided into four groups (<P₂₅, P₂₅-, P₅₀-, ≥P₇₅) based on the cut-off quartiles signature. Finally, compared with the control group (<P₂₅), the hazard ratios (HRs) of three groups (P₂₅-, P₅₀-, ≥P₇₅) were calculated by using Cox regression. The survival outcomes of patients in the four groups were compared to evaluate the capacity of the lncRNA signature model. Results: A total of 951 differentially expressed lncRNAs were identified between tumor and peritumoral tissues. A three-lncRNA signature, including LNCSRLR, MKLN1-AS and ZFPM2-AS1, was established to predict the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients. The outcome suggested that the death risk of the ≥P₇₅ group was 1.57 times larger than that of the <P₂₅ group (95%CI: 1.06-2.31, P<0.05). Conclusion The three-lncRNA signature, which established by LNCSRLR, MKLN1-AS and ZFPM2-AS1, was significantly associated with the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients based on TCGA database data.

Objective? To evaluate the effect of physical restraintreduction strategy on improving the physical restraint practice of critical patients. Methods? Using convenient sampling method, the inpatients in the Intensive Care Uni(t ICU)of the Emergency Department of a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Beijing in 2017 and 2018 were selected as the research objects. According to the length of stay, the inpatients in 2017 were divided into two groups: the control group (n=282), the intervention group (n=263), the control group was given regular physical restraint strategy, and the intervention group used the developed physical restraint reduction strategy to implement the physical restraint. The rate of physical restraint, time of physical restraint, delirium, unplanned extubation and skin abnormality were compared between the two groups. Results? In the intervention group, the rate of physical restraint was 23.57%, and the rate of unplanned extubation was 1.14%, which was lower than that in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (χ2=26.830, 4.142; P＜ 0.05). The restraint time of the intervention group was (49.63±146.94) h, and that of the control group was (93.62± 186.35) h, the difference was statistically significant (t=10.04, P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of delirium and skin abnormality between the two groups (P＞0.05). Conclusions? The strategy of body constraint reduction is helpful to reduce the rate of body constraint, the time of constraint and the rate of unplanned extubation.
