Objective To examine the precise function of influenza A virus target genes(IATGs)in malignancy. Methods Using multi-omics data from the TCGA and TCPA datasets,33 tumor types were evaluated for IATGs.IATG expression in cancer cells was analyzed using transcriptome analysis.Copy number variation(CNV)was assessed using GISTICS 2.0.Spearman's analysis was used to correlate mRNA expression with methylation levels.GSEA was used for the enrichment analysis.Pearson's correlation analysis was used to examine the association between IATG mRNA expression and IC50.The ImmuCellAI algorithm was used to calculate the infiltration scores of 24 immune cell types. Results In 13 solid tumors,IATG mRNA levels were atypically expressed.Except for UCS,UVM,KICH,PCPG,THCA,CHOL,LAMI,and MESO,most cancers contained somatic IATG mutations.The main types of CNVs in IATGs are heterozygous amplifications and deletions.In most tumors,IATG mRNA expression is adversely associated with methylation.RT-PCR demonstrated that EGFR,ANXA5,CACNA1C,CD209,UVRAG were upregulated and CLEC4M was downregulated in KIRC cell lines,consistent with the TCGA and GTEx data. Conclusion Genomic changes and clinical characteristics of IATGs were identified,which may offer fresh perspectives linking the influenza A virus to cancer.

Gingival mesenchymal stem cells(GMSCs)are a population of mesenchymal stem cells found in the lamina propria of gingi-val tissue and can be isolated not only from healthy gingival tissue but also from hyperplastic or even inflamed gingival tissue.GMSCs have become a hot topic of research in oral disease treatment because of their abundant sources,easy availability,unique immunomod-ulatory properties and multi-directional differentiation potential.GMSCs have been used in the treatment of periodontitis,gingival reces-sion,oral cancer,mandibular defects,peripheral nerve injury repair and so on.To prevent and treat oral diseases,this study will re-view the recent progress of research on the application of GMSCs in oral diseases.

Objective To explore the effect of personality characteristics on the facial esthetic satisfaction of edentulous patients,in order to provide reference for improving esthetic satisfaction after complete denture restoration.Methods Twenty-two edentulous sub-jects were randomly selected.Before complete denture treatment,the emotional stability of patients was assessed by Eysenck personality questionnaire N scale score(EPQ-N).Before and three months after treatment,patients completed the orofacial esthetic questionnaire,and 3D stereophotogrammetry was performed to evaluate the changes in facial appearance.In addition,multiple linear regression model was established by using N scale score,changes in facial appearance and facial esthetic satisfaction score.Results After complete denture treatment,the difference in the ratio of the middle and lower parts of the face between patients and the normal group was re-duced by(3.85±2.63)%,and the difference of the nasolabial angle between patients and the normal group was reduced by(6.66°±5.39°).The multiple linear regression model showed that N scale score and changes of the differencein the facial proportion between edentulous subjects and normal population were influencing factors of patients'esthetic satisfaction on the facial appearance,and the N scale score and changes of the difference inthe nasolabial anglebetween patients and normal population were influencing factors of the patients'aesthetic satisfaction on the facial profile.Moreover,the effect of two independent variables(N scale score and facial soft tissue change)on the aesthetic satisfaction of facial appearance and facial profile was statistically significant(P＜0.001).Furthermore,when the N score increased,the patients'aesthetic satisfaction on the facial appearance and facial profile decreased(B＜0).Conclusion Personality can affect the aesthetic satisfaction of edentulous patients.Consequently,we should take reasonable measures for patients with different personality in the process of complete denture restoration,so as to achieve the goal of improving patients'aesthetic satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the cognition and nursing needs of patients with urinary incontinence after prostate cancer surgery on "Internet+ nursing service", so as to provide basis for the implementation of high-quality continuous nursing service.Methods:According to the phenomenological research method, 15 patients with urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy in the Urology Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Ningbo University from October to December 2021 were selected as the research object by intentional sampling method. Semi-structured interview was used to collect data, and Colazzi method was used to sort out, analyze and refine the subject.Results:The patients' awareness of "Internet+ nursing service" was biased. Many factors affected the willingness of patients with urinary incontinence to use "Internet+ nursing service".

Factors impeding willingness to use included information security, operational and economic factors. The need for the content of "Internet+ nursing service" included the need for rehabilitation treatment related knowledge and supportive relationships. The need for "Internet+ nursing service" included the need to establish a "circle of friends" to obtain support from patients, the need for "online consultation, offline nursing", and the need to enrich the form of health education.Conclusions:The medical and nursing staff should give full play to the role of "Internet+ nursing service", and according to the characteristics of patients with urinary incontinence, enrich the "Internet+ nursing service" in the form of combination of graphics and text, video games, punch card interaction, to meet the needs of patients in rehabilitation training, doctor-nurse communication, patient support and other aspects, while strengthening the convenience of the operation of "Internet+ nursing service" and the timeliness of the service, so as to promote the rapid development of "Internet+ nursing service".

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health condition.More and more studies have found that interoceptive sensitivity, such as the sensitivity of the body to a series of physiological activities such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and so on, is closely related to the susceptibility to anxiety disorders.So, understanding the role of interoception in the occurrence of anxiety disorders plays an important role in understanding the pathogenesis of the disease and guiding treatment.This article reviewed the pathogenesis of anxiety disorders, the interaction between increased interoceptive sensitivity and abnormal activation of the amygdala, which results in pathological anxiety, the insula also regulates emotional responses by regulating interoception.It is also associated with genes and neurotransmitters, which may be important biomarkers of anxiety disorders.At the same time, interoception is also associated with genes and neurotransmitters, which may also be important biomarkers of anxiety disorders.In terms of treatment, we can use respiratory therapy to regulate respiratory perception, apply rTMS to stimulate the relevant network of interoception, and use electroencephalography to reflect interoception biofeedback and other treatment methods to improve interoception, to alleviate anxiety symptoms.In conclusion, the abnormal sensitivity of interoception plays an important role in the occurrence of anxiety disorders.Currently, there are many therapeutic methods for the treatment of anxiety disorders based on interoception, but the relevant therapeutic mechanism is unclear.Therefore, future research needs to explore the mechanism of interoception in anxiety and explore the mechanism of related treatment.

Objective    To explore the risk factors and predictive value of acute kidney injury (AKI) after total aortic arch replacement. Methods    The clinical data of patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement in our hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, and patients receiving preoperative renal replacement therapy and missing creatinine values were excluded. According to whether postoperative AKI occurred, patients were divided into an AKI group and a control group. The univariate and multivariate analyses (logistic regression) were used to explore the independent risk factors of AKI. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the significant factors in predicting the occurrence of AKI after total aortic arch replacement. Results    A total of 162 patients were included in the study, including 135 (83.3%) males and 27 (16.7%) females, with an average age of 52.61±9.90 years (range: 22 to 73 years). The incidence of AKI was 68.5% (n=111). The results of univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the postoperative serum cystatin C level (OR=76.145, 95%CI 15.575-372.260, P<0.01) was an independent risk factor for AKI after total aortic arch replacement. When its cut-off value was above 1.08 mg/L, the specificity for predicting postoperative AKI was 70.59%, and the sensitivity was 85.59%. Conclusion    The postoperative cystatin C level is an independent risk factor for AKI after total aortic arch replacement and has predictive value.

Objective:To explore the basic characteristics of various types of intensive care unit (ICU) patients and the predictive value of six common disease severity scores in critically ill patients on the first day on the 28-day death risk.Methods:The general information, disease severity scores [acute physiology score Ⅲ (APSⅢ), Oxford acute disease severity (OASIS) score, Logistic organ dysfunction score (LODS), simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPSⅡ), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score], prognosis and other indicators of critically ill patients admitted from 2008 to 2019 were extracted from Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care-Ⅳ 2.0 (MIMIC-Ⅳ 2.0). The receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) of six critical illness scores for 28-day death risk of patients in various ICU, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated, the optimal Youden index was used to determine the cut-off value, and the AUC of various ICU was verified by Delong method.Results:A total of 53 150 critically ill patients were enrolled, with medical ICU (MICU) accounted for the most (19.25%, n = 10 233), followed by cardiac vascular ICU (CVICU) with 17.78% ( n = 9 450), and neurological ICU (NICU) accounted for the least (6.25%, n = 3 320). The patients in coronary care unit (CCU) were the oldest [years old: 71.79 (60.27, 82.33)]. The length of ICU stay in NICU was the longest [days: 2.84 (1.51, 5.49)] and accounted for the highest proportion of total length of hospital stay [63.51% (34.61%, 97.07%)]. The patients in comprehensive ICU had the shortest length of ICU stay [days: 1.75 (0.99, 3.05)]. The patients in CVICU had the lowest proportion of length of ICU stay to total length of hospital stay [27.69% (18.68%, 45.18%)]. The six scores within the first day of ICU admission in NICU patients were lower than those in the other ICU, while APSⅢ, LODS, OASIS, and SOFA scores in MICU patients were higher than those in the other ICU. SAPⅡ and SIRS scores were both the highest in CVICU, respectively. In terms of prognosis, MICU patients had the highest 28-day mortality (14.14%, 1 447/10 233), while CVICU patients had the lowest (2.88%, 272/9 450). ROC curve analysis of the predictive value of each score on the 28-day death risk of various ICU patients showed that, the predictive value of APSⅢ, LODS, and SAPSⅡ in comprehensive ICU were higher [AUC and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were 0.84 (0.83-0.85), 0.82 (0.81-0.84), and 0.83 (0.82-0.84), respectively]. The predictive value of OASIS, LODS, and SAPSⅡ in surgical ICU (SICU) were higher [AUC and 95% CI were 0.80 (0.79-0.82), 0.79 (0.78-0.81), and 0.79 (0.77-0.80), respectively]. The predictive value of APSⅢ and SAPSⅡ in MICU were higher [AUC and 95% CI were 0.84 (0.82-0.85) and 0.82 (0.81-0.83), respectively]. The predictive value of APSⅢ and SAPSⅡ in CCU were higher [AUC and 95% CI were 0.86 (0.85-0.88) and 0.85 (0.83-0.86), respectively]. The predictive value of LODS and SAPSⅡ in trauma ICU (TICU) were higher [AUC and 95% CI were 0.83 (0.82-0.83) and 0.83 (0.82-0.84), respectively]. The predictive value of OASIS and SAPSⅡ in NICU were higher [AUC and 95% CI were 0.83 (0.80-0.85) and 0.81 (0.78-0.83), respectively]. The predictive value of APSⅢ, LODS, and SAPSⅡ in CVICU were higher [AUC and 95% CI were 0.84 (0.83-0.85), 0.81 (0.80-0.82), and 0.78 (0.77-0.78), respectively]. Conclusions:For the patients in comprehensive ICU, MICU, CCU, and CVICU, APSⅢ or SAPSⅡ can be applied for predicting 28-day death risk. For the patients in SICU and NICU, OASIS or SAPSⅡ can be applied to predict 28-day death risk. For the patients in TICU, SAPSⅡ or LODS can be applied for predicting 28-day death risk. For CVICU patients, APSⅢ or LODS can be applied to predict 28-day death risk.

Objective:To explore the effect of post-pyloric feeding by spiral nasoenteric tubes on the prognosis of critically ill patients with acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) grade Ⅱ.Methods:A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical data of critically ill adult patients with AGI grade Ⅱ, who were enrolled in three randomized controlled trials conducted by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital for post-pyloric tube placement between April 2012 and May 2019. Data including demographic characteristics, serological indicators of nutrition, the tube tip position confirmed by abdominal X-ray 24 h after tube insertion, and intensive care unit (ICU), 28-day and hospital mortality were collected. Patients were divided into the post-pyloric feeding group and gastric feeding group according to the tube tip position. Propensity score matching method was used to perform 1:1 matching, and the differences of each index between the two groups were compared after matching. Then the influencing factors of P<0.1 were included in multivariate logistic regression analysis to investigate the potential ICU mortality risk factors of critically ill patients with AGI gradeⅡ. Factors with 0.1 level of significance from the univariate analysis were considered in the multivariate analysis. Results:There were 90 patients in post-pyloric feeding group and 90 patients in the gastric feeding group. Demographics and clinical characteristics of study population were well balanced between the two groups after matching. ICU, 28-day and hospital mortality in the post-pyloric feeding group were significantly lower than those in the gastric feeding group (4.4% vs 15.6%, 14.4% vs 27.8%, 6.7% vs 17.8%, all P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that post-pyloric feeding was an independent protective factor [odds ratio ( OR)=0.295, 95% confidence internal (95% CI): 0.091-0.959, P=0.042] and APACHEⅡ score was an independent risk factor ( OR=1.111, 95% CI: 1.025-1.203, P=0.010) for ICU mortality of critically ill patients with AGI gradeⅡ. Conclusions:Post-pyloric feeding for critically ill patients with AGI grade Ⅱ could decrease ICU mortality and is an independent protective factor against mortality.

Objective:To investigate the effects of sodium butyrate (NaB) on long-term anxiety like behavior and inflammatory activation of microglia in the hippocampus of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) mice.Methods:① Animal experiment: fifty C57BL/6 mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into Sham group (only the cecum was found by laparotomy without perforation or ligation), and SAE model group caused by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP; SAE model group, the cecum was found by laparotomy and perforated after ligation. The open field test indicated that the ability of independent exploration decreased and showed anxiety like behavior, which proved that the SAE model was successfully replicated) and NaB pretreatment group was established (NaB was administered at a dose of 500 mg·kg -1·d -1 for 3 days before modeling, and the same dose once a day for 3 days after modeling). Open field test was used to detect the anxiety like behavior of mice at 7 days. The protein expressions and content changes of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in hippocampus of mice at 1 day and 3 days after operation were detected by Western blotting and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe microglia labeled protein ionized calcium bindingadaptor molecule-1 (Iba-1) and TNF-α protein co localization. ② Cell experiment: mouse microglia cell line BV-2 microglia were divided into blank control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (cells were treated with 1 mg/L LPS), and NaB treatment group (cells were treated with 1 mg/L LPS+5 mmol/L NaB). The protein expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), phosphorylated nuclear factor-κB p65 (p-NF-κB p65), nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) and NF-κB inhibitor protein-α (IκB-α) were detected by Western blotting. The expressions of Iba-1 and TNF-α in each group were observed by immunofluorescence. Results:① Animal experiment: compared with the Sham group, the distance and duration of movement in the central area, the total distance moved of mice decreased 7 days after the establishment of SAE model group were decreased [distance of movement in the central area (mm): 13.45±3.97 vs. 161.44±27.00, duration of movement in the central area (s): 1.82±0.58 vs. 13.45±2.17, the total distance moved (mm): 835.01±669.67 vs. 2 254.51±213.45, all P < 0.05]. In the hippocampus tissues of mice, a large number of nerve nuclei were pyknotic and deeply stained, and the arrangement of nerve cells was disordered. The cell bodies of microglia in mouse hippocampus increased significantly. The number of positive cells of Iba-1/TNF-α (Iba-1 +/TNF-α +) increased significantly. The contents and protein expression of proinflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β in hippocampal homogenate supernatant 3 days after operation in SAE model group were significantly higher than those in Sham group [TNF-α (ng/L): 119.17±18.40 vs. 90.18±21.17, IL-1β (ng/L): 407.89±70.64 vs. 313.69±34.63; TNF-α/GAPDH: 1.42±0.50 vs. 0.80±0.08, IL-1β/GAPDH: 1.27±0.22 vs. 0.85±0.25, all P < 0.05]. After intragastric administration of NaB, the distance and duration of movement in the central area of mice were significantly higher than those in SAE model group [distance of movement in the central area (mm): 47.39±15.63 vs. 13.45±3.97, duration of movement in the central area (s): 6.12±1.87 vs. 1.82±0.58, all P < 0.05]. There was no significant change in the total distance moved (mm: 1 550.59±1 004.10 vs. 835.01±669.67, P > 0.05). The pyknosis and deep staining of nerve nuclei in mice were significantly less than those in SAE model group. The number of Iba-1 +/TNF-α + positive cells decreased significantly. The contents and protein expression levels of proinflammatory factors TNF-α, IL-1β in hippocampal homogenate supernatant 3 days after operation were significantly lower than those in SAE model group [TNF-α (ng/L): 64.95±9.10 vs. 119.17±18.40, IL-1β (ng/L): 311.94±69.92 vs. 407.89±70.64; TNF-α/GAPDH: 1.02±0.36 vs. 1.42±0.50, IL-1β/GAPDH: 0.86±0.20 vs. 1.27±0.22, all P < 0.05]. ② Cell experiment: after LPS intervention, the fluorescence intensity of TNF-α in BV-2 cells was significantly enhanced, the protein expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65 protein increased (TNF-α/GAPDH: 0.39±0.06 vs. 0.20±0.02, IL-1β/GAPDH: 0.27±0.03 vs. 0.19±0.01, TLR4/GAPDH: 0.55±0.12 vs. 0.33±0.09, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65: 0.55±0.05 vs. 0.29±0.04, all P < 0.05), the expression level of IκB-α was lower than that in the control group(IκB-α/GAPDH: 0.54±0.06 vs. 0.81±0.03, P < 0.05). After NaB treatment, the fluorescence intensity of TNF-α in BV-2 cells was decreased. The protein expression levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, TLR4 and p-NF-κB p65 protein were significantly lower than that of LPS model group (TNF-α/GAPDH: 0.26±0.02 vs. 0.39±0.06, IL-1β/GAPDH: 0.11±0.04 vs. 0.27±0.03, TLR4/GAPDH: 0.28±0.14 vs. 0.55±0.12, p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65: 0.29±0.01 vs. 0.55±0.05, all P < 0.05), the protein expression level of IκB-α was significantly higher than that in the LPS group (IκB-α/GAPDH: 0.75±0.01 vs. 0.54±0.06, P < 0.05). Conclusion:NaB could antagonism the TLR4 activation induced by LPS, thus inhibiting p-NF-κB p65 nuclear transcription and IκB-α degradation. It can reduce microglia activation and secretion of inflammatory factors, and finally improve the inflammation in the hippocampus of septic mice and long-term anxiety like behavior.

Objective:To explore the changing characteristics of self-efficacy, social support, psychological stress in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) receiving conservative treatment at different treatment stages and their correlations with the recovery of lower back function.Methods:A total of 116 patients with acute OVCFs who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Medical School, Ningbo University were selected from January 2017 to May 2019. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Questionnaire, General Self Efficacy Scale (GSES) , Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to assess the lower back function, self-efficacy, social support and psychological stress of OVCFs patients. Questionnaires were filled out during outpatient reexamination or in-home follow-up, and the evaluation time was at the time of treatment and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after conservative treatment. Analysis of variance and SNK- q test were used to explore the characteristics of each score over time, and linear regression analysis was used to explore the effects of GSES, PSSS, and PSS on ODI. Results:With the prolongation of treatment time, ODI, GSES, PSSS and PSS scores of OVCFS patients under conservative treatment showed a downward trend, and the scores at 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment were lower than those at 1 month after conservative treatment ( P<0.05) . The scores at 6 and 12 months after conservative treatment were lower than those at 3 months after conservative treatment ( P<0.05) . The scores at 12 months after conservative treatment were lower than that those at 6 months after conservative treatment ( P<0.05) . GSES, PSSS (total score, in-family support, out-of-family support) and PSS were independent influencing factors of ODI at one month after treatment ( P<0.05) . GSES, PSSS (total score, in-family support) and PSS were the influencing factors of ODI at 3 months after treatment ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The self-efficacy and social support of conservatively treated patients with OVCFs are positively correlated with their lower back function, while psychological stress will reduce lower back function of such patients. It is suggested to add these non-physical factors to the rehabilitation nursing model and take appropriate intervention measures.
