Objective To construct the etoposide (VP-16)combined with cisplatin (DDP) chemotherapy scheme (EP chemotherapy scheme)resistant small cell lung cancer (SCLC)cell line H446/EP and to identify the drug resistance characteristics and explore the mechanism.Methods NCI-H446 cells were treated with increasing concentrations of VP-16 and DDP to construct an H446/EP cell line.H446/EP and NCI-H446 cells were used as the research objects.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay,and the resistance index (RI)of H446/EP cells was calculated.Cell cloning assay and Incucyte cell proliferation (label-free)assay were used to detect cell proliferation ability.Transcriptome sequencing was performed to analyze the enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs)in the 2 cell lines.Western blotting was applied to detect the protein expression levels of drug resistance,DNA damage repair (DDR),and autophagy markers.Results MTT assay showed that the resistance index (RI)of H446/EP cells to VP-16,DDP,and DOX were 6.14,3.43,and 1.96,respectively.The results of cell cloning assay and Incucyte cell proliferation assay indicated that the proliferation ability was significantly higher in the H446/EP cells than the NCI-H446 cells (P<0.01).Transcriptome sequencing and pathway enrichment analysis displayed that the DEGs between H446/EP and NCI-H446 cells were enriched in tumor chemoresistance,DDR,and autophagy pathways.Western blot results showed the expression levels of MRP1,BCRP,RAD51,γ-H2AX,and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ were significantly increased,and that of p62 was obviously decreased in the H446/EP cells when compared with the NCI-H446 cells (P<0.05).Conclusion An EP chemotherapy-resistant H446/EP cell line is successfully constructed.Stronger proliferation ability,increased expression of efflux transporters,and enhanced DDR and autophagy may be the mechanisms of the resistance of SCLC to EP chemotherapy scheme.

Objective:To explore the latent profile types of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior in stroke patients and analyze the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Methods:From January to October 2023, totally 596 stroke patients from the Neurology Department of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected by stratified random sampling. The patients were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire (SPKQ), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the WHO's Quality of Life Questionnaire- Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), the Short Form Health Belief Model Scale (SF-HBMS), and the Health Promoting Lifestyle ProfileⅡ (HPLPⅡ). Latent profile analysis was used to classify the capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior characteristics of stroke patients, and multiple logistic regression was conducted to explore the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Results:Three latent profiles of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior in stroke patients were identified, including low capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with high health beliefs (32.4%, 193/596), moderate capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with insufficient health beliefs (47.5%, 283/596), and high capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with lack of social support (20.1%, 120/596). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that educational level, smoking history, family history, body mass index, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score were influencing factors of different latent profiles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Stroke patients exhibit distinct classifications of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior. Targeted interventions should be conducted based on the characteristics of each category to improve health behavior management outcomes in patients.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of rumination between self-perceived burden (SPB) and stigma in stroke patients, so as to provide theoretical basis for the development of targeted nursing interventions in clinical practice.Methods:In September 2022, cluster sampling was used to select 1 126 stroke patients admitted to Department of Neurology of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province as subjects. General Information Questionnaire, Self-Perceived Burden Scale (SPBS), Stroke Stigma Scale (SSS), and Chinese Version of Event Related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) were used to investigate stroke patients. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between SPB, rumination, and stigma. AMOS 28.0 software was used to establish the structural equation model, and Bootstrap method was used to test the mediating effect.Results:A total of 1 126 questionnaires were distributed, and 1 026 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 91.12% (1 026/1 126). SPBS score of 1 026 stroke patients was (28.68±8.32), the SSS score was (40.53±9.48) and the C-ERRI score was (25.43±12.62). Pearson correlation analysis showed that SPB in stroke patients was positively correlated with stigma and rumination ( P<0.01), and rumination was positively correlated with stigma ( P<0.01). Bootstrap mediating effect test showed that rumination partially mediated the relationship between SPB and stigma in stroke patients, accounting for 55.15% of the total effect. Conclusions:SPB of stroke patients both directly affect stigma and indirectly affect stigma through rumination. Clinical nursing workers should promptly evaluate patients' SPB, pay attention to the mediating role of rumination, develop effective psychological intervention programs, implement personalized and targeted nursing measures, relieve patients' stigma, and improve treatment and rehabilitation compliance.

Objective:To understand the research status and hotspots in the field of stroke health management at home and abroad, and to provide insights for stroke health management research in China.Methods:Relevant literature on stroke health management published between 2013 and 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 was used for the visual analysis of the number of publications, authors, institutions, countries, and keywords.Results:A total of 382 relevant articles were included, with 169 in English and 213 in Chinese. The number of publications on stroke health management showed a fluctuating upward trend. Research hotspots and frontiers in stroke health management mainly focused on telemedicine, big data and "Internet+", primary and secondary prevention, risk prediction models, quality of life, and swallowing disorders. Future research trends may focus on management models for post-stroke swallowing disorders, risk identification, and the role of caregivers in remote rehabilitation interventions.Conclusions:Researchers can refer to the research hotspots and trends shown by the visual analysis, with particular attention to health management models for patients with post-stroke swallowing disorders and issues related to remote intervention rehabilitation.

Abstract: Objective To compare the diagnostic efficacy of the upgraded version of the GeneXpert automated fluorescent quantitative PCR system (GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra, GeneXpert Ultra) and the original version of the GeneXpert system (GeneXpert MTB/RIF, Xpert), real-time fluorescent quantitative nucleic acid detection (FQ-PCR), real-time fluorescent thermostatic amplification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis RNA (SAT-RNA), real-time fluorescent thermostatic amplification detection of DNA (thermostatic amplification method) and traditional BACTEC MGIT 960 liquid culture (culture method) for special specimens of tuberculosis, in order to analyze its application value in clinical detection. Methods Using prospective research methods, a total of 170 special specimens (including 47 pleural and ascites effusion samples, and 34 24-hour urinary sediment specimens, 49 tissue specimens and 40 fester specimens) were collected i'an Chest Hospital from January to September 2021. GeneXpert Ultra, Xpert, FQ-PCR, SAT-RNA, isothermal amplification, and traditional culture were used for detection. Clinical diagnosis was used as the standard, and sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, coincidence rate, and Kappa value were compared among the methods. Results The sensitivities of GeneXpert Ultra, Xpert, FQ-PCR, SAT-RNA, isothermal amplification, and traditional culture were 65.18% (73/112), 49.11% (55/112), 37.50% (42/112), 19.64% (22/112), 8.04% (9/112), and 22.32% (25/112), respectively. The sensitivity of GeneXpert Ultra was higher than that of the other five methods, and the differences were statistically significant (χ2=66.25, 42.10, 28.89, 13.09, 4.92, 15.18, all P<0.05). GeneXpert Ultra result analysis showed that: 5.48%(4/73) cases had trace, that is, trace Mycobacterium tuberculosis load, 79.45% (58/73) cases were extremely low, 10.96% (8/73) cases were low, 2.74% (2/73) were medium, , and 1.36% (1/73) were high load. In 4 trace samples, the Xpert detection was negative for all. Of the 73 GeneXpert Ultra positive reports, 63 were rifampicin-sensitive, 6 were rifampicin-resistant, and 4 were rifampicin-resistant but of unclear resistance. Of the 55 Xpert positive reports, 45 were rifampicin-sensitive, 2 were rifampicin-resistant, and 8 were rifampicinresistant but of unclear resistance.. Conclusions The new generation of GeneXpert MTB/RIF Ultra has high sensitivity, specificity and drug resistance detection rate, and its advantage is even more apparent in the pathogenic diagnosis of special specimens of tuberculosis. It can be used as one of the preferred methods in samples with low bacterial load.

Objective:To prepare a phase-change lipid nanoparticle modified by tumor homing membrane-penetrating peptide (tLyP-1) and carrying paclitaxel (PTX) engineered by metal polyphenol network (TA-Fe 3+ ), and evaluate the therapeutic effects of tumor targeting, ultrasound/photoacoustic imaging and photothermal combined chemotherapy in vitro. Methods:Phase-change lipid nanoparticles (t-P@TFP) with TA-Fe 3+ engineered PTX mediated by tLyP-1 were prepared by solvent replacement method, thin film hydration method and double emulsification method. Its detection and characterization, in vitro targeting ability, photothermal conversion ability, in vitro photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging ability, CCK-8 method, cell live and death double staining method and flow cytometry method were used to detect the safety of nanoparticles and the killing effects of different nanoparticles on 4T1 cells. Results:t-P@TFP nanoparticles were successfully prepared. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanoparticles were spherical with uniform shape and size, with a particle size of (209.8±1.56)nm and a potential of (-25.9±1.36)mV. Laser confocal scanning microscopy showed that t-P@TFP nanoparticles could gather around 4T1 cells in a targeted manner. It had an efficient photothermal conversion effect, and nanoparticles could quickly become microbubbles after being irradiated by near-infrared laser, which enhanced the in vitro ultrasonic imaging effect; The photoacoustic signal of nanoparticles increased with the increase of concentration. CCK-8 method, double staining of living and dead cells and flow cytometry showed that t-P@TFP combined photothermal chemotherapy had the best anti-tumor effect. Conclusions:t-P@TFP nanoparticles are successfully prepared. The nanoparticles have good targeting ability for photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging and have good photothermal effect, killing breast cancer cells, which is expected to realize the integration of diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the measurement agreement of Roche 25(OH)D immunoassay(evaluation method) with LC-MS/MS (reference method).Methods:A total of 909 residual serum samples from routine health check participants were collected from May to June in 2019. 25(OH)D concentrations were measured by evaluation method and LC-MS/MS, respectively. Passing-bablok regression, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Bland Altman plots and Kappa test were used to analyze the consistency and bias on the results derived from the two measurement methods.Results:The 25(OH)D concentration derived from evaluation method was significantly different from those from LC-MS/MS method ( P<0.001). Slope of regression for evaluation method and LC-MS/MS was 0.962(95% CI 0.919-1.007), while intercept was -0.185 (95% CI -1.191-0.745). The ICC was 0.765 (95% CI 0.735-0.792). Altman plot showed that the average deviation between evaluation method and LC-MS/MS was -0.902 ng/ml (0.300%). The coincidence rate of evaluation method′s judgment of vitamin D sufficiency, insufficiency and deficiency with LC-MS/MS was 83.39%, and the weighted Kappa values was 0.790. Conclusion:Roche automatic 25(OH)D immunoassay shows acceptable correlation and agreement with LC-MS/MS, however, it is to note that the deviation between immunoassay and LC-MS/MS may lead to wrong judgment of vitamin D nutritional status. It is recommended that each laboratory should establish own corresponding reference values for 25(OH)D concentrations derived from these two methods.

Objective:To investigate the anticoagulant causes, hemorrhagic susceptibility factors and clinical characteristics of patients with warfarin-related major bleeding in the emergency department of a general hospital.Methods:In a registry study from January 2017 to February 2020, 114 cases of warfarin-related major bleeding patients admitted to Department of Emergency Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were enrolled. The descriptive methods were used to analyze anticoagulant causes, hemorrhagic susceptibility factors and clinical characteristics. Patients were divided into the international normalized ratio (INR) overrange group and the INR non-overrange group according to INR value during bleeding. The Chi-square test, Student’s t test, and Wilcoxon rank sum test were used to compare the differences between the INR overrange group and the INR non-overrange group. The Wilcoxon rank sum test and Student’s t test were used to analyze the characteristics of gastrointestinal tract bleeding and cerebral hemorrhage. Results:Warfarin-related major bleeding accounted for 0.36% (114/32 040) of first aid cases and 9.84% (114/1 158) of warfarin-taking cases, respectively. Seventy-seven cases (67.5%) of anticoagulant causes were related to atrial fibrillation (AF) and 32 cases (28.1%) were related to post-operative cardiac valve replacement. Of the bleeding susceptibility factors, HAS-BLED scored at 4.0 (3.0, 5.0), 84 cases (73.7%) had a history of drug use, 77 cases (67.5%) aged older than 65 years old, 65 cases (57.0%) had irregular INR monitoring, and 29 cases (25.4%) had recent increase in dose. Forty cases (35.1%) were gastrointestinal tract bleeding with the lowest hemoglobin (Hb) value and the highest score of HAS-BLED. Twenty-one cases (18.4%) were cerebral hemorrhage with the shortest prothrombin time (PT), the lowest INR value, the highest Hb, and the lowest score of HAS-BLED. Twelve cases (10.5%) died or gave up treatment in critical condition, including 6 cases of cerebral hemorrhage, 5 cases of gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and 1 case of hemoptysis. There were statistically significant differences in previous history of antiplatelet therapy, recent increase in dose, HAS-BLED score and bleeding site between the INR overrange group and the INR non-overrange group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Among patients with warfarin-related major bleeding, AF and post-operative cardiac valve replacement are the main causes of warfarin anticoagulation. INR overrange is related to the previous history of antiplatelet therapy, recent increase in dose, and the high score of HAS-BLED. The gastrointestinal tract bleeding is the most common, with the lowest Hb value and the highest score of HAS-BLED. Cerebral hemorrhage is the second common, with the shortest PT, the lowest INR value, and the highest Hb. The incidence and mortality rates of warfarin-related major bleeding are relatively high.

Objective To assess the implementation of Healthcare Improvement Initiative ( the Initiative)by 136 tertiary hospitals nationwide in 2017, and provide reference for improving relevant policies. Methods Hospital questionnaires 1 and 2 were designed, and data were collected by self-report and expert scoring.Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis H(K), and Spearman rank correlation were used for statistical analysis.Results The median score of the first 11 dimensions of these hospitals was 91.89% , and that of the first 12 dimensions of 30 women and children hospitals was 90.54%.The total score rate of the top 11 hospitals in the eastern region was higher than that of both the central region and western region(P<0.001).The total score rate of the first 12 dimensions of women and children′s hospitals in the eastern region was higher than that in the central and western regions(P=0.032).The total score rate of the first 11 dimensions of the national level hospitals was higher than that of the local hospitals ( P =0.004).The correlation coefficient between the total number of patients and the total score of the first 11 dimensions and the first 12 dimensions was 0.578 and 0.413, respectively.Conclusions Implementation of the Initiative is satisfactory in general. There are however still rooms of improvement for hospitals in the central and western regions, and local level hospitals as well. General hospitals are better than TCm and specialist hospitals.The larger the scale, the better the performance in service improvement.
