BACKGROUND:A previous study by our group found that protein phosphatase 2Cm(PP2Cm)null mice developed significantly fewer symptoms of renal failure relative to wild-type mice,and thus it was speculated that PP2Cm may play an important protective role in the development of renal fibrosis,however,the molecular mechanisms remain undefined. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of the PP2Cm gene on the transcriptome of human renal tubular epithelial cells. METHODS:Cultured human renal tubular epithelial cells were transfected with the PP2Cm gene into human renal tubular epithelial cells using plasmids.The expression of PP2Cm in the cells was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR assay and western blot assay,and subsequently,cell RNA was separately extracted for transcriptome sequencing to look for differentially expressed genes between transfected and control groups.The resulting differential genes were further subjected to GO analysis and KEGG analysis using bioinformatics methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were 796 differentially expressed genes,553 of which were downregulated genes and 243 upregulated genes,in human renal tubular epithelial cells transfected with the PP2Cm gene compared with untransfected blank cells by sequencing analysis.GO analysis results showed that the upregulated genes were significantly enriched in cellular biosynthetic processes,protein translation,intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathways,and so on.The downregulated expressed genes were significantly enriched in endothelial cell proliferation,cell adhesion and other signaling pathways.KEGG analysis results showed that the significantly up-regulated genes were enriched in metabolism-related signaling pathways such as amino acid metabolism and biosynthesis.The downregulated expressed genes were significantly enriched in signaling pathways such as pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis.Our results show that PP2Cm overexpression can affect a number of signaling pathways related to a range of biological processes in renal tubular epithelial cells,which may be important in metabolism-related signaling pathways such as amino acid metabolism and biosynthesis.

Objective:To investigate effect of vitexin on macrophage polarization and its impact on tumor growth in a mouse model of prostate cancer.Methods:C57BL/6J male mice were used to establish RM-1 prostate cancer xenograft model.Mice were ran-domly divided into model group,vitexin-low,medium and high doses groups(40,80,160 mg/kg),and cisplatin group as positive control.After continuous administration for 16 days,mice were euthanized and tumor mass was measured.HE staining was performed to observe tumor morphology.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect Ki67 positive rate.Flow cytometry was conducted to measure expressions of CD86+CD11b and CD206+CD11b in tumor-associated macrophages.CCK8 assay was performed to assess cytotoxic effect of vitexin on RAW264.7 macrophages to determine suitable concentrations.RT-qPCR was used to measure mRNA expressions of M2 macrophage markers,including arginase-1(ARG-1),Fizz1 and Ym1.Results:Vitexin inhibited tumor volume and weight,induced tumor tissue necrosis,suppressed Ki67 protein expression,increased expression of CD86+CD11b+M1 macrophages,and inhibited CD206+CD11b+M2 macrophage expression in mouse tumor tissues in vivo.Vitexin at concentrations of 10～20 μmol/L showed no cyto-toxicity on RAW264.7 macrophages in vitro,and promoted expression of iNOS in IL-4-induced M2 macrophages while inhibiting CD206 expression,as well as suppressed mRNA expressions of ARG-1,Fizz1 and Ym1.Conclusion:Vitexin effectively inhibits tumor growth in a mouse model of prostate cancer,possibly by regulating M2 macrophages towards an M1 phenotype and exerting immunomodulatory effects.

Objective:To explore the behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards using vascular visualization devices in light of the theory of planned behavior.Methods:This was a qualitative study. From March to November 2023, 20 pediatric nurses from Peking University First Hospital were selected using purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. The interview data were analyzed and themes were extracted using Colaizzi 7-step analysis method.Results:The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices could be summarized into nine themes based on the theory of planned behavior. Attitudes towards behavior included positive evaluations, negative evaluations, and unclear information. Subjective norms involved peers' attitudes as well as expectations and pressures from patients. Perceived behavioral control encompassed workload, level of knowledge, more limited equipment performance, and external resource support.Conclusions:The behavioral intentions of pediatric nurses towards the use of vascular visualization devices are influenced by their attitudes towards the behavior, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Nursing managers should conduct standardized training on vascular visualization devices to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills, while also valuing the sources of various supports to create a supportive environment for the use of vascular visualization devices. This will improve the usage experience of pediatric nurses and promote the use of vascular visualization devices in pediatric nursing practice.

Purpose To investigate the clinical value of multi-center digital mammography radiomics nomogram model in predicting triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC).Materials and Methods The digital mammograms of 462 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer from November 2016 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,including 243 cases from Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College(institution 1),106 cases from Fuyang People's Hospital(institution 2)and 113 cases from Taihe People's Hospital(institution 3).According to the results of immunohistochemistry,a total of 349 breast cancer patients in institution 1 and institution 2 were randomly divided into the training group(244 cases,including 41 TNBC and 203 non-TNBC)and the validation group(105 cases,including 18 TNBC and 87 non-TNBC)according to the ratio of 7∶3,113 breast cancer patients(24 TNBC and 89 non-TNBC)from institution 3 were included in the external validation group.Comparing the mediolateral oblique and cranial cauda digital mammography images,the mammography imaging with larger lesion areas were selected,and the image segmentation and radiomics feature extraction were performed.The radiomics model was constructed by using Logistic regression.The clinicopathological parameters and radiomics scores were used to construct a nomogram.Receiver operating characteristic and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the model performance.To compare The predictive performance between the models was compared.Results Finally,four radiomics features closely related to TNBC were selected to construct an radiomics model.The area under the curve,sensitivity and specificity of TNBC predicted by the radiomics model in training group,validation group and external test group were 0.868,90.24%and 72.91%,0.827,72.22%and 75.86%,0.837,70.83%and 78.65%,respectively.The area under the curve,sensitivity and specificity of TNBC predicted by the combined model in the training group,validation group and external test group were 0.903,80.49%and 86.70%,0.890,77.78%and 88.51%,0.870,62.50%and 85.39%,respectively.The combined model was better than the single image omics model in predicting TNBC,and the difference was statistically significant between the training group and the verification group(Z=2.061,2.064,both P<0.05),but not between the external test group(Z=1.223,P=0.221).In three group,decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram predicted a higher net benefit than the radiomics model for triple-negative breast cancer.Conclusion The radiomics model has high diagnostic efficiency in predicting TNBC,and the nomogram model combined with the radiomics score and histological grading can further improve the prediction efficiency.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expressions of serum trans thyroxine protein (TTR) , retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) and metabolic syndrome of pregnancy (GMS) .Methods:A total of 103 patients with GMS from May. 2017 to Dec. 2019 were selected as the observation group, in addition, 100 healthy pregnant women with single pregnancy and no complications were selected as control group. Before pregnancy, the height and weight were detected. After the diagnosis of GMS, serum markers and blood pressure were detected. The levels of total cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected by Hitachi 7600 automatic biochemical analyzer, and the expression levels of TTR and RBP4 in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) . Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of TTR and RBP4 in GMS. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of GMS in pregnant women.Results:There was no significant difference in age or gestational weeks between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Compared with those in the control group, the levels of BMI, TC, TG, LDL-C, FBG, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, serum TTR and RBP4 expression levels were higher in the observation group before pregnancy ( P<0.05) , while HDL-C was lower ( P<0.05) . The area under the curve (AUC) of TTR and RBP4 alone or combination in the diagnosis of GMS was 0.797, 0.816 and 0.898, respectively. The cut-off value of TTR was 284.91 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 63.10% and 89.00%, respectively. The cut-off value of RBP4 was 17.89 mg/L, and the sensitivity and specificity were 69.90% and 87.00%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined diagnosis were 83.50% and 84.00% respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high level of TTR and high level of RBP4 were independent risk factors of GMS in pregnant women ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The expression levels of serum TTR and RBP4 in GMS patients are high, and they have certain diagnostic value for GMS. They are independent risk factors of GMS in pregnant women, which may provide new ideas for the early diagnosis and prevention of GMS.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Stevens-Johnson syndrome caused by rebamipide， and to explore the predisposing factors of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. METHODS Clinical pharmacists analyzed the treatment process of a patient with gastrointestinal diseases and evaluated the correlation between the drug used and adverse reactions， in order to determine the suspected allergenic drug causing Stevens-Johnson syndrome. The predisposing factors of patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome were explored. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The suspected allergenic drugs that caused the patient to develop Stevens-Johnson syndrome included Ilaprazole enteric-coated tablets， Rebamipide tablets and Kangfuxin liquid. In summary， the suspect drug was identified as Rebamipide tablets according to the causality evaluation method of the National Center for Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring， Naranjo’s scoring method and the algorithm of drug causality for epidermal necrolysis scoring criteria. Hypoproteinemia， competitive binding of plasma proteins between drugs， advanced age， bacterial and viral infections were the predisposing factors of Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Therefore， before using rebamipide in clinical practice， it is necessary to inquire about the patient’s allergy history in detail. During the use process， it is necessary to strengthen the patient’s medication monitoring and be alert to the occurrence of serious adverse reactions. If any abnormalities are found， the medication should be stopped immediately and symptomatic treatment should be given as soon as possible to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the patient’s medication.
