In order to understand nurses’ willingness to participate in humanistic nursing training and its influencing factors, and provide reference for managers to understand the current situation and improve nurses’ enthusiasm for humanistic nursing training. The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 23 707 nurses in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) through a self-designed questionnaire distributed on the Internet. The results showed that 98.1% of nurses thought that participating in humanistic nursing related training was helpful to clinical work, but only 88.6% of the respondents were willing to participate in humanistic nursing training. Thirty factors were analyzed from four aspects of basic characteristics of individuals, cognitive relevant experience and organizational atmosphere. Fifteen factors had significant significance in binary Logistic regression analysis (P<0.05). Among them, the factors that had a positive impact on training willingness were: marriage, education, professional title, post establishment, agree with humanistic care is the basic duty of a nurse praised, experience of being praised at work, family support, rapport with patients, passion of colleagues to participate in training, sustained high-quality care demonstration activities, join the humanistic care related organization, hospital reimbursement of training expenses (OR value of 6.559~1.113, P<0.001). The OR value of humanistic nursing as a nurse’s responsibility was 6.559 and the 95%CI was 5.585~7.702. The factors that hindered nurses from participating in training were: work occupied most of time and energy, think humanistic nursing is abstract and difficult to understand, think the mastered humanistic knowledge and skills meet the needs of work (OR value of 0.657~0.722, P<0.001). Through the analysis, it is considered that nurses have a extremely consistent high recognition of the significance of humanistic nursing training, but their willingness to receive training is affected by many factors such as individual experience, cognitive attitude and organizational atmosphere. In order to realize nurses’ high recognition of humanistic nursing training to high enthusiasm of behavior, the aspects of individual cognition and organizational atmosphere must be discussed.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a disease caused by abnormal cloning of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, which leads to accumulation of a large number of abnormally differentiated myeloid cells. It is difficult to cure by traditional treatment. The successful application of chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) immunotherapy indicates that the treatment of hematological tumors has entered a new stage of precision immunotherapy. However, CAR-T immunotherapy has been found to have many problems in clinical applications, including long treatment cycle, expensive prices, off-target effects, cytokine release syndrome, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the application of CAR or adopt improved measures to enhance the therapeutic effect. This article reviews the new strategies for genetic engineering modification of CAR immune cells and the research progress and application of in situ programming to generate CAR-T, and besides, briefly introduces the new methods about the delivery of gene drugs in vivo, aiming to provide new ideas and theoretical basis for expanding and improving the application of precision immunotherapy in AML.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Based on the immunomodulatory capability of CAR-T cells, efforts have turned toward exploring their potential in treating autoimmune diseases. Bibliometric analysis of 210 records from 128 academic journals published by 372 institutions in 40 countries/regions indicates a growing number of publications on CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases, covering a range of subtypes such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, among others. CAR-T therapy holds promise in mitigating several shortcomings, including the indiscriminate suppression of the immune system by traditional immunosuppressants, and non-sustaining therapeutic levels of monoclonal antibodies due to inherent pharmacokinetic constraints. By persisting and proliferating in vivo, CAR-T cells can offer a tailored and precise therapeutics. This paper reviewed preclinical experiments and clinical trials involving CAR-T and CAR-related therapies in various autoimmune diseases, incorporating innovations well-studied in the field of hematological tumors, aiming to explore a safe and effective therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum levels of C-C motif chemokine ligand 21 (CCL21) and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) for stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods:Patients with AIS admitted to No.215 Hospital of Shaanxi Nuclear Industry from July 2020 to December 2023 were prospectively included. Serum CCL21 and CXCR3 test results and general clinical data at admission were collected using the hospital electronic medical record system. The independent influencing factors of SAP were identified through multivariate logistic regression analysis, and the predictive value of serum CCL21 and CXCR3 levels for SAP were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results:A total of 150 patients with AIS were enrolled, including 91 males (60.67%), aged 61.48±7.92 years. Among them, 41 patients (27.33%) developed SAP during hospitalization. There were significant differences in serum CCL21 and CXCR3 levels, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, Glasgow Coma Scale score, invasive mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay, and the proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes between the SAP group and the non-SAP group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum CCL21 (odds ratio [ OR] 1.022, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.006-1.039; P=0.006) and CXCR3 ( OR 1.036, 95% CI 1.018-1.054; P<0.001) levels were the independent risk factors for SAP. ROC curve analysis showed that serum CCL21 and CXCR3 levels had good predictive power separately for SAP. The areas under the curve was 0.730 (95% CI 0.634-0.825) and 0.807 (95% CI 0.721-0.892), respectively. The combined prediction of the two showed an area under the curve of 0.881 (95% CI 0.819-0.943). Conclusion:The patients with AIS generally have higher levels of serum CCL21 and CXCR3. The levels of serum CCL21 and CXCR3 are closely associated with SAP, and both of them have a good predictive effect on SAP alone or in combination.

Objective:To explore the differential efficacies of conventional chemotherapy, autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for T lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) .Method:From January 2012 to December 2022, the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 82 T-LBL patients hospitalized at Affiliated Tongji Hospital. According to different treatments, they were assigned into two groups of non-transplantation (49 cases) and transplantation (33 cases). The transplantation group was divided further into two groups of allo-HSCT (22 cases) and auto-HSCT (11 cases) according to different transplantation modes. In non-transplantation group, remission was induced mostly by cyclophosphamide+messosodium+doxorubicin+dexamethasone+vincrine/methotrexate+Hyper CAVD A/B. Six patients achieved remission based upon cyclophosphamide+cytarabine+6-mercaptopurine (CAT), etoposide+vincristine+doxorubicin+cyclophosphamide+cyclophosphamide+ prednisone (EPOCH), high-dose methotrexate+dexamethasone and vincristine+pirubicin+ cyclophosphamide+ pemasase+prednisone (VDCLP). The transplantation group underwent HSCT after multi-drug combination intensive induction therapy. Efficacy and survival were analyzed by observing the rates of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) .Result:There were 64 males and 18 females with a median age of 23 (11~74) year. Among them, 62 cases (75.61%) had clinical stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ. And 43 cases (53.44%) had systemic symptoms (B symptom) of fever, night sweats and weight loss at an onset of disease. Fifty cases (61.00%) had an involvement of bone marrow and 33 cases (80.5%) belonged to Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ and above. There were 65 cases (79.27%) with Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≤2 and 17 cases (20.73%) with ECOG score >2. International Prognostic Index (IPI) was ≤3 (63 cases, 76.83%) and >3 (19 cases, 23.17%). Follow-up period was 27.5 (5~118) month. And 3-year OS and PFS were 53.64% (95% CI: 42.35%~64.62%) and 47.56% (95% CI: 36.53%~58.82%). Significant inter-group difference existed in 3-year OS[42.86% (95% CI: 29.12%~57.71%) vs 69.70% (95% CI: 51.13%~83.79%), P=0.014]and 3-year PFS was 38.76% (95% CI: 25.54%~53.76%) and 60.61% (95% CI: 42.24%~76.57%). And the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.032) . Conclusion:As a consolidation therapy, HSCT may improve the long-term outcomes of T-LBL patients as compared with chemotherapy alone.

ObjectiveTo explore the anti-gout effect and mechanism of Derris eriocarpa extract by network pharmacological analysis combined with in vivo and in vitro experimental verification. MethodThe chemical components and candidate targets of D. eriocarpa were obtained from the database. The key targets and potential active components of D. eriocarpa in the treatment of gout were screened by the protein-protein interaction analysis, and then the Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment were performed for the key targets. A mouse model of hyperuricemia was established by intraperitoneal injection of hypoxanthine to observe the effect of D. eriocarpa alcohol extract on hyperuricemia. A rat model of gouty inflammation induced by the injection of microcrystalline sodium urate crystals into the foot and plantar was used to observe the effect of D. eriocarpa alcohol extract on gouty inflammation. A xylene-induced acute inflammation model was established to observe the anti-inflammatory effect of D. eriocarpa alcohol extract. The hot plate test and twisting test were performed to observe the pain-relieving effect of D. eriocarpa. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells were used to study the anti-gout effect and mechanism of D. eriocarpa alcohol extract. ResultA total of 12 key targets and 15 potential active components were obtained from the D. eriocarpa-component-gout target network. The emodin, betulinic acid, and medicarpin endowed D. eriocarpa with anti-hyperuricemia, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects by acting on Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), NOD-like reception protein 3 (NLRP3), and nuclear factor (NF)-κB. Compared with the control group, the model groups showed elevated serum uric acid level in mice (P<0.01), increased swelling degree of rats (P<0.05, P<0.01), alleviated the auricular swelling of mice (P<0.05), reduced the twisting times of mice (P<0.05, P<0.01), and increased the hot plate pain threshold (P<0.05). Moreover, the model group showed up-regulated mRNA level of TLR4 and protein levels of TLR4, NF-κB, and NLRP3 in cells (P<0.01), and elevated levels of TLR4 and NF-κB in the cell supernatant (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the alcoholic extracts (20, 10, 5 g·kg-1) of D. eriocarpa lowered the serum uric acid level in hyperuricemic mice (P<0.01), inhibited foot and plantar swelling in rats (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated the mRNA level of TLR4 and the protein levels of TLR4, NF-κB, NLRP3 in cells, and lowered the levels of TLR4, TNF-α, NF-κB, and IL-6 in cell supernatants (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionD. eriocarpa alcohol extract may exert the anti-gout, anti-inflammatory, and pain-relieving effects by regulating the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Neuroendocrine carcinoma(NEC) is a malignant tumor derived from neuroendocrine cells, with distinct clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics. Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the head and neck is very rare in clinic. Larynx is the most common affected site, and the root of the tongue is extremely rare. The clinical manifestations are mainly eating pain, cauliflower like mass in the mouth, and ulcerative lesions that have not healed for a long time. Maxillofacial MRI and contrastenhanced CT are the most commonly used examination tools for such diseases, which can detect the spaceoccupying lesions of tumors. Neuroendocrine granules found in the cytoplasm under pathological light microscope can be diagnosed as neuroendocrine carcinoma. However, for most cases, it is difficult to make a diagnosis only under light microscope, and it is often necessary to make a diagnosis by means of immunohistochemistry and other technical means. This paper reports a case of neuroendocrine carcinoma of the root of the tongue, introduces its characteristics, diagnosis and treatment, and reviews the relevant literature of this case.
