Chinese Medical Ethics 2023;36(1):83-88
To study the effect and influencing factors of life tree narrative therapy on alleviating stigma in long-term hospitalized patients with chronic stable schizophrenia, and focus on its intervention targets for long-term hospitalization patients with chronic stable schizophrenia. The group therapy plan was set up with life tree narrative therapy, 12 patients were selected to receive the therapy. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted before and after the therapy of life tree narrative therapy, and grounded theory was used to analyze the interview data. There were 5 therapeutic effects of life tree narrative therapy, including improvement of support system, reduction of stigma, improvement of interpersonal relationship, self-confidence, and the enthusiasm for participating in group therapy. And four core categories of influencing factors of life tree group therapy were summarized, which were group process, patients, leaders and other influencing factors. The biggest gain of life tree group therapy for patients is the improvement of the support system, which can promote patients to adjust their inpatient mentality and change their negative emotions. During the process of therapy, patient’s expectations of participating in the group have changed, and serious living and living in the moment have become the main goal at present, which is an additional benefit of group therapy.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of metformin on ultraviolet A (UVA) -induced photoaging of an immortalized human keratinocytes cell line (HaCaT), and to explore its potential mechanisms.Methods:Cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay was performed to evaluate the effect of metformin at different concentrations (0 - 100 mmol/L) on the viability of HaCaT cells, and 10 mmol/L metformin was selected for subsequent experiments. Cultured HaCaT cells were divided into a blank control group (conventional culture), a metformin group (treated with culture medium containing 10 mmol/L metformin), a UVA irradiation group (conventional culture for 24 hours followed by 10 J/cm 2 UVA irradiation) and a metformin + UVA group (treated with culture medium containing 10 mmol/L metformin for 24 hours followed by 10 J/cm 2 UVA irradiation) ; UVA irradiation was performed at a dose of 10 J/cm 2 once a day for 3 consecutive days. After 4-day treatment, cells were collected, the β-galactosidase assay was performed to determine the proportion of senescent cells in each group, 2′, 7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate assay to detect levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the comet assay to detect DNA damage levels. Additionally, some HaCaT cells were divided into the blank control group, metformin group, 1.25 μmol/L dorsomorphin (an adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase [AMPK] inhibitor) + metformin group, and 2.5 μmol/L dorsomorphin + metformin group, and cells in the latter two groups were treated with 1.25 and 2.5 μmol/L dorsomorphin respectively for 2 hours, followed by the treatment with 10 mmol/L metformin for 24 hours. Western blot analysis was performed to determine the cellular localization and phosphorylation levels of nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). By using the small-interfering RNA (siRNA) -mediated silencing method, siRNA-Nrf2 was transfected into HaCaT cells to knock down Nrf2 expression (siRNA-Nrf2 group) ; 2.5 μmol/L dorsomorphin-treated HaCaT cells or Nrf2-knockdown HaCaT cells were treated with metformin and UVA irradiation (dorsomorphin + metformin + UVA group, siRNA-Nrf2 + metformin + UVA group, respectively), and the proportions of senescent cells were further calculated in each group. Statistical analysis was carried out by using one-way analysis of variance and two-way analysis of variance, and least significant difference (LSD) - t test was used for multiple comparisons. Results:Treatment with different concentrations of metformin for 24 hours could affect the viability of HaCaT cells to varying degrees ( F = 5 206.31, P < 0.001) ; there were no significant differences in the relative survival rates of HaCaT cells between the 10 - 20 mmol/L metformin groups and the control group (0 mmol/L metformin group, all P > 0.05), while the relative cell survival rates were significantly lower in the 25 - 100 mmol/L metformin groups than in the control group (all P < 0.05). After UVA irradiation, HaCaT cells shrank significantly and became narrow and elongated, and the intercellular spaces increased; the relative cell survival rate was significantly lower in the UVA irradiation group (76.13% ± 1.03%) than in the blank control group (100.00% ± 1.24%, LSD- t = 14.86, P < 0.001), but significantly higher in the metformin + UVA group (106.69% ± 2.45%) than in the UVA irradiation group (LSD- t = 11.55, P < 0.001). Moreover, the UVA irradiation group showed significantly increased proportions of senescent cells (45.14% ± 4.98%), intracellular ROS levels (144.61% ± 4.91%), and percentages of DNA in the tail (75.33% ± 1.77%) compared with the blank control group (23.84% ± 1.89%, 55.49% ± 1.57%, 1.88% ± 0.29%, respectively, all P < 0.001), while the metformin + UVA group showed significantly decreased proportions of senescent cells (24.26% ± 1.34%), intracellular ROS levels (58.62% ± 2.17%), percentages of DNA in the tail (15.83% ± 1.23%) compared with the UVA irradiation group (all P < 0.001). Western blot analysis showed that the Nrf2 expression in the cytoplasm was lower in the 10 mmol/L metformin group than in the blank control group, while the phosphorylated Nrf2 expression in the nuclei was higher in the 10 mmol/L metformin group than in the blank control group, suggesting that metformin could effectively induce the phosphorylation of Nrf2 and its nuclear translocation; both the pretreatment with 1.25 and 2.5 μmol/L dorsomorphin could significantly reduce the phosphorylation levels of AMPKα and Nrf2 induced by 10 mmol/L metformin. The proportions of senescent cells in the dorsomorphin + metformin + UVA group and the siRNA-Nrf2 + metformin + UVA group were 67.84% ± 2.74% and 65.94% ± 1.33%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the metformin + UVA group (37.76% ± 1.64%, t = 14.45, 13.34, respectively, both P < 0.001) . Conclusion:Metformin may inhibit UVA-induced photoaging of HaCaT cells by activating the AMPK/Nrf2 signaling pathway, scavenging ROS and reducing DNA damage.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of 1+N+N team model with family physician as the core for rehabilitation of community-dwelling stroke patients.Methods:Convalescent stroke patients in Fenglin Community of Shanghai Xuhui District, who were followed up and registered from January 2019 to October 2021, were continuously enrolled in this intervention study. The 1+N+N care team consisted of a family doctor as the core (“1”) with the professional and technical team of the community health service center (“N”) and specialists in second or third hospitals (“N”). Patients were randomly divided into 1+N+N intervention group and control group. The control group was treated with traditional stroke management scheme, while the intervention group was treated by the 1+N+N team model. The activities of daily living (ADL), motor function and psychological status scores were evaluated at baseline and 12 months after intervention. Multivariate linear regression model was used to analyze the association of intervention methods with the improvement of ADL score, motor function score and psychological status score of patients.Results:A total of 120 patients were enrolled (60 in each group), including 59 males and 61 females with a mean age of (71.5±6.8) years. Compared with the control group, the age of patients in the intervention group was younger ( P=0.013), and the proportion of patients with coronary heart disease was lower ( P=0.003). There was no significant differences in other variables between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 12 months of intervention, the scores of ADL, motor function and psychological status were significantly improved compared with those before intervention in both groups ( P<0.01). There was no significant difference in motor function scores between the intervention group and the control group before intervention ( P>0.05), but the scores of ADL and psychological status in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.001). After intervention, the above scores in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate linear regression showed that the 1+N+N team model had no significant correlation with ADL score ( t=0.27, P=0.799), but had a positive correlation with motor function score ( t=15.64, P<0.01) and psychological status score ( t=13.70, P<0.01). Conclusion:The 1+N+N team model can effectively improve the daily living ability, motor function and psychological status of stroke patients in the convalescent period, and the intervention effect on the latter two is better than that of the traditional rehabilitation mode.

Objective:To investigate the management of patients with intravenous misplacement of nephrostomy tube following percutaneous renal surgery.Methods:The data of 6 patients with intravenous misplacement of nephrostomy tube during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) treated in the two hospitals of Chenzhou from January 2006 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. The median age was 41.0(38.5, 53.0) years old. There were 4 males and 2 females. Three patients had undergone contralateral upper urinary tract operation. One patient had undergone ipsilateral upper urinary tract operation. Two patients had not undergone upper urinary tract operation. Two of the 6 patients had a solitary kidney. Two patients were diagnosed with staghorn calculi (combined with mild hydronephrosis in 1 patient, moderate hydronephrosis in 1 patient). Four patients were diagnosed with ureteral calculus (combined with mild hydronephrosis in 2 patients, moderate hydronephrosis in 1 patient, severe hydronephrosis in 1 patient). In all 6 patients, the tract was dilated with fascial dilators. Immediately after dilator removal, brisk venous bleeding was noted. A nephrostomy tube was inserted promptly through the sheath to tamponade the tract and was immediately closed. Five cases were diagnosed by CT after operation, and 1 case was early diagnosed by intraoperative injection of contrast medium through nephrostomy tube. The nephrostomy tube was misplaced in 5 patients with left upper urinary tract calculi, and in 1 patient with right upper urinary tract calculi. The tip of nephrostomy tube was located in ipsilateral renal vein in 3 patients with left upper urinary tract calculus, inferior vena cava in 2 patients with left upper urinary tract calculus, and contralateral renal vein in 1 patient with right upper urinary tract calculus. No venous thrombosis of renal vein or inferior vena cava was founded in the 6 patients. All 6 patients were managed with strict bed rest, intravenous antibiotics, and one-step or two-step tube withdrawal under close monitoring. One step method referred to total removal of nephrostomy tube under ultrasonic monitoring. Two step method referred to retracting the end of nephrostomy tube into the renal sinus under CT monitoring in the first step, then the nephrostomy tube was completely removed under ultrasound monitoring.Results:All 6 patients were successfully managed with strict bed rest, intravenous antibiotics, and one-step or two-step tube withdrawal under close monitoring. The tube was withdrew by one-step method in 1 patient, by two-step method in 5 patients. The original operations were performed successfully under close observation in 4 patients during the same hospitalization and in 1 patient during the next hospitalization. Other type of operation in 1 patient was performed during the next hospitalization. The all 6 patients were discharged uneventfully. The stone was cleared.Conclusions:Intravenous misplacement of a nephrostomy tube is mainly diagnosed by CT. The nephrostomy tube should be sealed immediately after diagnosis. The intravenously misplaced nephrostomy tube can be successfully removed by one-step or two-step withdrawing under close monitoring. Upper urinary tract stones can be successfully treated at the same time or by stages.

Objective:To investigate the self-defect sensation and its influencing factors in patients scheduled for photodynamic therapy for port wine stains.Methods:A total of 183 patients scheduled for photodynamic therapy for port wine stains in our hospital were selected and investigated by online questionnaire. The data of the respondents were collected by means of online filling in the questionnaire star using the General Data Survey Scale and the Defect Perception Scale (FIS) at admission.Results:The total score of self-defect in 183 patients with bright red nevus treated by photodynamic therapy was higher than that of the domestic norm. Age ( t=4.19), place of residence ( F=14.90), co-resident ( F=3.21), education level ( F=4.39), marital status ( F=2.47), income level ( F=9.51) and occupation ( F=5.82) had significantly related with the level of self-deficiency of patients ( P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis indicated that residence and income level were the main factors affecting patients′ sense of self-deficiency ( F=4.96, P<0.05). Conclusions:The overall self-defect sense of 183 patients with port wine stains treated with photodynamic therapy in this survey is more serious, their own comprehensive conditions and family structure will affect the self-defect sense of patients with port wine stains. We should pay special attention to the mental health of patients from municipal cities and low-income levels, timely carry out clinical nursing education and psychological guidance, jointly improve the compliance and cooperation of patients with treatment, and promote the rapid recovery of patients.

Objective:To investigate the related genes, signaling pathways and possible mechanisms of malignant transformation of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) immortalized cervical epithelial cell line H8.Methods:The malignant transformed H8 cell model was constructed, and the changes of cell invasion ability and cell migration ability of H8 cells after malignant transformation were detected by Transwell assay, and the changes of clone formation ability of H8 cells after malignant transformation were detected by plate clone formation assay. Total RNA was extracted from malignant transformed H8 cells and H8 cells, and the two groups of cells were sequenced by transcriptome using Illumina novaseq 6000 sequencing platform, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and analyzed, and Gene Ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction were performed.Results:The invasion ability, migration ability and clone formation ability of malignant transformed H8 cells significantly increased as compared to H8 cells. A total of 203 differentially expressed genes were identified in H8 cells before and after malignant transformation, of which 98 were up-regulated and 105 down-regulated. GO enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were mainly involved in biological processes such as cellular processes, biological regulation, and metabolic processes. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were mainly enriched in alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolic pathway, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism pathway, p53 signaling pathway and TGF-β signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. PPI analysis screened 10 hub genes including DDIT3, TRIB3 and ASNS.Conclusions:Compared with H8 cells, malignant transformed H8 cells have a large number of differentially expressed genes and pathways at the transcriptional level, which could further provide new ideas for the mechanism of malignant transformation and carcinogenesis as well as finding new targets for the prevention of malignant transformation.

Chest compressions are a key component of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The determination of the optimal compression point (OCP) in adult CPR is an indispensable critical factor for high quality chest compressions (CCs). At present, the OCP for adult CPR is still controversial, which still needs further research and discussion. To provide theoretical reference for determining the OCP, this paper reviews the research progress of the OCP of adult CPR from the development process of compression point and hemodynamic mechanism, so as to improve the quality of CCs and the outcome of cardiac arrest (CA) patients.
