In order to understand nurses’ willingness to participate in humanistic nursing training and its influencing factors, and provide reference for managers to understand the current situation and improve nurses’ enthusiasm for humanistic nursing training. The convenience sampling method was used to investigate 23 707 nurses in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) through a self-designed questionnaire distributed on the Internet. The results showed that 98.1% of nurses thought that participating in humanistic nursing related training was helpful to clinical work, but only 88.6% of the respondents were willing to participate in humanistic nursing training. Thirty factors were analyzed from four aspects of basic characteristics of individuals, cognitive relevant experience and organizational atmosphere. Fifteen factors had significant significance in binary Logistic regression analysis (P<0.05). Among them, the factors that had a positive impact on training willingness were: marriage, education, professional title, post establishment, agree with humanistic care is the basic duty of a nurse praised, experience of being praised at work, family support, rapport with patients, passion of colleagues to participate in training, sustained high-quality care demonstration activities, join the humanistic care related organization, hospital reimbursement of training expenses (OR value of 6.559~1.113, P<0.001). The OR value of humanistic nursing as a nurse’s responsibility was 6.559 and the 95%CI was 5.585~7.702. The factors that hindered nurses from participating in training were: work occupied most of time and energy, think humanistic nursing is abstract and difficult to understand, think the mastered humanistic knowledge and skills meet the needs of work (OR value of 0.657~0.722, P<0.001). Through the analysis, it is considered that nurses have a extremely consistent high recognition of the significance of humanistic nursing training, but their willingness to receive training is affected by many factors such as individual experience, cognitive attitude and organizational atmosphere. In order to realize nurses’ high recognition of humanistic nursing training to high enthusiasm of behavior, the aspects of individual cognition and organizational atmosphere must be discussed.

Objective:To analyze the medication characteristics and the rules of prescription for the treatment of acute mastitis in Puji Fang; To provide reference for the clinical treatment of acute mastitis in modern TCM. Methods:Prescriptions of the chapters of " Ruyong" and " Duru" contained in Pu Ji Fang? Fu Ren Zhu Ji Men were screened, and the prescription data were analyzed by using the ancient and modern medical record cloud platform V2.3.5 for drug frequency, properties, tastes, meridian tropism, and efficacy. Clustering analysis of high-frequency drugs and analysis of association rules were performed. Results:A total of 141 prescriptions were included, with 201 kinds of Chinese materia medica. The top ten drugs with the high frequency of use were Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Paeoniae Radix alba, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Astragali Radix, Olibanum, Trichosanthis Fructus, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Gleditsiae Spina. The main property was cold, the main taste was sweet, the main meridian was spleen meridian, and the main efficacy was heat clearing and detoxification. Three types of high-frequency drugs could be obtained by clustering analysis, namely, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma-Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix-Paeoniae Radix alba-Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Fructus-Olibanum-Gleditsiae Spina. Through correlation analysis of high-frequency drugs, it was found that there was a great correlation between Astragali Radix and Paeoniae Radix alba, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma.Conclusions:The pathogenesis of acute mastitis in Pu Ji Fang is mainly damp-heat toxin and blood stasis, and deficiency of qi and blood. The treatment for strengthening healthy qi focuses on tonifying qi and blood of the liver and spleen, while the treatment for eliminating pathogenic factors focuses on removing dampness, clearing heat and toxin, resolving phlegm, dispersing stasis and removing blood stasis. In addition, according to the condition, the treatment will be increased or decreased with the disease.

This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic potential of inhibiting protein arginine methyltransferase 5(PRMT5)in cisplatin-induced hearing loss.The effects of PRMT5 inhibition on cisplatin-induced auditory injury were determined using immunohistochemistry,apoptosis assays,and auditory brainstem response.The mechanism of PRMT5 inhibition on hair cell survival was assessed using RNA-seq and Cleavage Under Targets and Tagment-quantitative polymerase chain reaction(CUT&Tag-qPCR)analyses in the HEI-OC1 cell line.Pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5 significantly alleviated cisplatin-induced damage to hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons in the cochlea and decreased apoptosis by protecting mitochondrial function and preventing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species.CUT&Tag-qPCR analysis demonstrated that inhibition of PRMT5 in HEI-OC1 cells reduced the accumulation of H4R3me2s/H3R8me2s marks at the promoter region of the Pik3ca gene,thus activating the expression of Pik3ca.These findings suggest that PRMT5 inhibitors have strong potential as agents against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity and can lay the foundation for further research on treatment strategies of hearing loss.

ObjectiveTo analyze the microbial diversity in the rhizosphere soil of Gastrodia elata with different yields and explore the influence of soil microorganisms on the yield of G. elata. MethodThe experiment adopted the 16S DNA and ITS high-throughput sequencing technologies to study the diversity of the bacterial and fungal community in the rhizosphere soil of G. elata with high yield (GC) and low yield (DC). ResultProteobacteria, Firmicutes, and other unidentified Bacteria were dominant in the rhizosphere soil of G. elata. The dominant rhizosphere fungi were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Mortierellomycota. There was no significant difference in microbial community abundance in the high-yield and low-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata, but there was a significant difference in species composition. Thirty-eight microbes such as Bradyrhizobium, Schleiferilactobacillus, and Archaeorhizomyces were gathered in large numbers in the high-yield rhizosphere soil, and thirty microbes such as Fusarium, Coprinellus, and Nitrosotalea were gathered in large numbers in the low-yield rhizosphere soil. At the level of genus and species, there were six different species in the high-yield and low-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata, among which Russula mariae, Archeaeorhizomyces, and Ilyonectria were gathered in the high-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata, while Nitrosotalea, Coprinellus disserminatus, and Fusarium were gathered in the low-yield rhizosphere soil of G. elata. ConclusionThere are different microorganisms in the rhizosphere soil of G. elata with different yields, and it is speculated that these microorganisms are related to the yields of G. elata. The research results are expected to provide a vital theoretical basis for the follow-up study of the high yield of G. elata.

ObjectiveTo review the drug information and research progress on oral Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia to identify existing problems and provide references for follow-up research. MethodChinese patent medicines against cardiac arrhythmia were retrieved from the three major drug catalogues,Yaozh.com,and relevant guidelines with arrhythmia as the retrieval term. The instructions for included Chinese patent medicines were retrieved through Yaozh.com and specific information was extracted. The research articles on Chinese patent medicines included were retrieved from the five databases,and the information meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria was extracted and displayed in the form of text description and graphs after statistical analysis. ResultSixty-five oral Chinese patent medicines were included in this study,with the main functions of activating the blood and resolving stasis. The average daily cost of medicines was 8.17 yuan,and there were 42 medicines with an average daily cost of less than 10 yuan,showing a moderate medicine cost. A total of 351 research articles on Chinese patent medicines were screened out,including 259 randomized controlled trials (RCTs),16 non-RCTs,eight non-controlled trials,62 systematic reviews,two guidelines,and two expert consensuses. Eighteen types of Chinese patent medicines were involved,whose clinical trials had been conducted in 28 provinces,cities,autonomous regions,and municipalities in China. Wenxin granules and Shensong Yangxin capsules were the top medicines under investigation,accounting for 75.21% of all research articles. Among the included studies,the most common comparison design was Chinese patent medicine combined with western medicine vs western medicine (64.25%). The outcome evaluation was mainly based on clinical efficacy,symptom efficacy,arrhythmia efficacy,adverse reactions,and heart rate changes. ConclusionThe number of clinical studies of oral Chinese patent medicines against cardiac arrhythmia varies greatly,but traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation thinking is less considered in practical application. Due to unstandardized clinical research and low-quality literature,further advancement is required in the future.

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare hereditary cornification disorder presented with abnormal skin scaling. In this paper, we used next-generation sequencing to determine the variants in a Chinese ARCI patient. We used sanger sequencing to verify bidirectionally the DNA from the proband and her parents. Results showes that two compound heterozygous variants (c.235G > T and c.641delG) in CYP4F22 gene, and both of the mutations are novel. The parents were heterozygous carriers. The two variants are classified as pathogenic variants based on interpretation guidelines. The compound heterozygous mutations in CYP4F22 gene were the causative mutations responsible for ARCI in proband.

Cisplatin-related ototoxicity is a critical side effect of chemotherapy and can lead to irreversible hearing loss. This study aimed to assess the potential effect of the DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor RG108 on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Immunohistochemistry, apoptosis assay, and auditory brainstem response (ABR) were employed to determine the impacts of RG108 on cisplatin-induced injury in murine hair cells (HCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs). Rhodamine 123 and TMRM were utilized for mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) assessment. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) amounts were evaluated by Cellrox green and Mitosox-red probes. Mitochondrial respiratory function evaluation was performed by determining oxygen consumption rates (OCRs). The results showed that RG108 can markedly reduce cisplatin induced damage in HCs and SGNs, and alleviate apoptotic rate by protecting mitochondrial function through preventing ROS accumulation. Furthermore, RG108 upregulated BCL-2 and downregulated APAF1, BAX, and BAD in HEI-OC1 cells, and triggered the PI3K/AKT pathway. Decreased expression of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) and high methylation of the LRP1 promoter were observed after cisplatin treatment. RG108 treatment can increase LRP1 expression and decrease LRP1 promoter methylation. In conclusion, RG108 might represent a new potential agent for preventing hearing loss induced by cisplatin via activating the LRP1-PI3K/AKT pathway.
