Objective:To investigate the expression of DARS2 and its clinical significance in colorectal cancer.Methods:In this study, bioinformatics tools, especially gene expression profile interactive analysis 2 (GEPIA2), were used to conduct an in-depth analysis of DARS2 expression in colorectal cancer tissues. Immunohistochemical staining was carried out in 108 colorectal cancer specimens and 30 normal colorectal tissues obtained from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, China. Colorectal cancer cell lines (HCT116 and SW480) were transfected with small interfering RNA (siRNA) and DARS2 overexpression plasmid to examine the effects of DARS2 knockdown and overexpression on cell function. To assess the effects on cell function, CCK8 and transwell migration assays were used to assess proliferation and cell motility, respectively. Additionally, protein immunoblotting was employed to scrutinize the expression of proteins associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition of colorectal cancer cells.Results:DARS2 exhibited a pronounced upregulation in expression within colorectal cancer tissues compared to their normal epithelial counterparts. Furthermore, DARS2 expression was higher in colorectal cancer of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ than those of stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, exhibiting a significant correlation with N staging, M staging, and pathological staging ( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier analyses showed a decreased overall survival rate in colorectal cancer with DARS2 expression compared to those without DARS2 expression ( P<0.05). In the siRNA transfection group, there was a significant reduction in cell proliferation and migration ( P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). Conversely, the transfection of DARS2 overexpression plasmids substantially increased both cell proliferation and migration ( P<0.05). Additionally, immunoblotting revealed that DARS2 knockdown led to an upregulation of E-cadherin expression and a downregulation of N-cadherin and vimentin expression. In contrast, DARS2 overexpression resulted in increased N-cadherin and vimentin expression, coupled with reduction in E-cadherin expression. Conclusions:There is a strong association between DARS2 expression and colorectal cancer progression. Silencing DARS2 inhibits cell proliferation and migration, exerting a discernible influence on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process.

Objective:To explore the application effect of transitional care based on Siebens domain management model in patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 150 atrial fibrillation patients who were admitted to Nanyang Central Hospital from October 2021 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects. Patients were divided into the study group and the control group using the random number table method, with 75 cases in each group. The control group received routine transitional care, while the study group received transitional care based on the Siebens domain management model. The intervention effect was evaluated using Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and Atrial Fibrillation Self Care Ability Scale.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in scores of Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and Atrial Fibrillation Self Care Ability Scale of patients between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After intervention, scores of Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and Atrial Fibrillation Self Care Ability Scale of patients in the study group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Transitional care based on Siebens domain management model can improve medication adherence and self-care ability of atrial fibrillation patients.
