ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Buyang Huanwutang in regulating macrophage polarization based on the Toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4） / nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） / nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor 3 （NLRP3） pathway. MethodRAW264.7 macrophages were intervened with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） of different concentrations （0， 1.25， 2.5， 5， 10， 20， 40， and 80 mg·L^-1） for 24 hours. Cell Counting Kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to determine the cell viability of RAW264.7 macrophages. The optimal concentration was chosen to establish an in vitro inflammation model induced by LPS. Cells were divided into a blank group （20% blank serum）， a model group （20% blank serum + 10 mg·L^-1 LPS）， a model control group （20% FBS + 10 mg·L^-1 LPS）， low-， medium-， and high-dose （5%， 10%， and 20%） Buyang Huanwutang-containing serum groups， a high-dose （20%） Buyang Huanwutang combined with NLRP3 inhibitor MCC950 （50 μmol·L^-1） group， a high-dose （20%） Buyang Huanwutang combined with reactive oxygen species （ROS） inhibitor NAC （10 μmol·L^-1） group， and a high-dose （20%） Buyang Huanwutang combined with NF-κB inhibitor PDTC （10 μmol·L^-1） group. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect the expression of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-18 （IL-18）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in RAW264.7 macrophages. Flow cytometry was employed to measure ROS levels in macrophages. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of M1-type macrophage-related factors inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and TNF-α， M2-type macrophage-related factors arginase-1 （Arg-1） and interleukin-10 （IL-10）， as well as the proteins in the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway. ResultCCK-8 results indicated that under 10 mg·L^-1 LPS stimulation， RAW264.7 macrophages exhibited the highest cell viability （P<0.01）. Compared with the blank group， the model group showed significantly increased levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.05，P<0.01）， increased ROS expression （P<0.05，P<0.01）， increased protein expression of M1-type macrophage factors iNOS and TNF-α （P<0.01）， decreased protein expression of M2-type macrophage factors Arg-1 and IL-10 （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and upregulated expression levels of TLR4， myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）， phosphorylated inhibitor of NF-κB （p-IκB）/NF-κB inhibitor （IκB）， phosphorylated NF-κB （p-NF-κB） p65/NF-κB p65， NLRP3， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）， and pro-Caspase-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， all Buyang Huanwutang-treated groups and inhibitor groups significantly reduced levels of IL-1β， IL-18， and TNF-α （P<0.01）， suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors in RAW264.7 macrophages， decreased cellular ROS expression levels （P<0.01）， downregulated M1-type macrophages iNOS and TNF-α protein expression （P<0.01）， upregulated M2-type macrophages Arg-1 and IL-10 protein expression （P<0.01）， and lowered protein expression levels of TLR4， MyD88， p-IκB/IκB， p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65， NLRP3， ASC， and pro-Caspase-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionBuyang Huanwutang can improve macrophage inflammation， potentially by reducing macrophage ROS levels， inhibiting RAW264.7 macrophage polarization， and downregulating the protein expression levels of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of nursing dependency in prostate cancer patients and explore the mediating effect of psychological resilience between alexithymia and nursing dependency.Methods:From May 2019 to May 2022, 365 prostate cancer patients admitted to the Second Medical Center of the Chinese People 's Liberation Army General Hospital and the 900th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the People 's Liberation Army were selected as the study subject using convenience sampling method. A questionnaire survey was conducted on patients using the General Information Questionnaire, Care Dependency Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of nursing dependency, and AMOS 25.0 software was used to construct a structural equation model to analyze the mediating effect. Results:A total of 365 questionnaires were distributed, and 358 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective rate of 98.08%. The nursing dependency score of 358 prostate cancer patients was (56.23±8.28), and 55.59% (199/358) of patients had nursing dependency. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status, bedtime on schedule, electronic health literacy, disease acceptance, alexithymia, and psychological resilience were the influencing factors for nursing dependency in prostate cancer patients ( P<0.05), accounting for 61.5% of the total variance. Structural equation model analysis showed that psychological resilience played a part of the mediating effect between alexithymia and nursing dependency in prostate cancer patients, and the mediating effect was 0.43, accounting for 58.11% of the total effect. Conclusions:The incidence of nursing dependency in prostate cancer patients is high, and intervention should be strengthened for prostate cancer patients who have no spouse, do not sleep according to schedule, have low electronic health literacy, and low disease acceptance. Psychological resilience plays a partial mediating effect between alexithymia and nursing dependency. Based on the alexithymia and psychological resilience of prostate cancer patients, reasonable nursing plans can be formulated to improve their quality of life.

Objective:To explore the current status of humanistic care ability among oncology nurses, analyze the latent profiles of humanistic care ability and the influencing factors of different profiles.Methods:From December 2022 to March 2023, 836 oncology nurses from 10 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals in Shandong Province were selected as the subject using convenience sampling. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Caring Ability Inventory, Professional Identity Scale, and Perceived Organizational Support Scale. Latent profile analysis was conducted using three observable indicators of humanistic care ability, and the influencing factors of different latent profiles of humanistic care ability were analyzed through single factor analysis and unordered multiclass Logistic regression.Results:The overall humanistic care ability of oncology nurses was lower than the international norm level. Through the latent profile analysis, there were three latent profiles, namely the care ability risk group, care ability potential group, and care ability advantage group. The care ability advantage group reached a moderate international norm level in terms of care ability, and its influencing factors included gender, being an only child, professional identity, and perceive organizational support, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is significant heterogeneity in the humanistic care ability of oncology nurses, and the latent profile is more accurate in analyzing humanistic care ability compared to overall differentiation. Nursing managers can provide personalized interventions based on different latent profile characteristics and influencing factors, so as to achieve balanced and homogeneous development of the overall care ability of oncology nurses.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF on the prevention of neutropenia during concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with lung cancer.Methods:A total of 149 patients with lung cancer who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital from April 2020 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 79 cases in the prevention group, including 48 cases of primary prevention group (preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF in all concurrent chemoradiotherapy cycles) and 31 cases of secondary prevention group (preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF in the concurrent chemoradiotherapy cycles after neutropenia occurred). There were 70 cases in non-prevention group. The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia, the completion rate of concurrent chemoradiotherapy, the rate of chemoradiotherapy dose reduction and treatment delay, and the rate of hematological toxicities related hospitalization were compared between the prevention group and the non-prevention group.Results:The incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia in the whole group was 32.2% (48/149), including 6.3% (3/48) in the primary prevention group, 9.7% (3/31) in the secondary prevention group, and 35.7% (25/70) in the non-prevention group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ2=17.81, P<0.001) in the incidence of grade 3-4 neutropenia. The incidence of febrile neutropenia was 3.4% (5/149) in the whole group, but none of them occurred in the primary prevention group. The full completion rate of concurrent chemotherapy was 96.2% (76/79) in the prevention group, which was significantly higher than 82.9% (58/70) in the non-prevention group ( χ2=7.30, P=0.007). The incidence of treatment delayed and dose reduction of chemoradiotherapy was 19.0% (15/79) in the prevention group and 40.0% (28/70) in the non-prevention group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.98, P=0.005). Conclusions:The preventive application of PEG-rhG-CSF can effectively reduce the incidence of neutropenia and better ensure the concurrent chemoradiotherapy in lung cancer patients on schedule.

As a group of nonspecific inflammatory diseases affecting the intestine, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) exhibits the characteristics of chronic recurring inflammation, and was proven to be increasing in incidence (Kaplan, 2015). IBD induced by genetic background, environmental changes, immune functions, microbial composition, and toxin exposures (Sasson et al., 2021) primarily includes ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) with complicated clinical symptoms featured by abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even blood in stools (Fan et al., 2021; Huang et al., 2021). UC is mainly limited to the rectum and the colon, while CD usually impacts the terminal ileum and colon in a discontinuous manner (Ordás et al., 2012; Panés and Rimola, 2017). In recent years, many studies have suggested the lack of effective measures in the diagnosis and treatment of IBD, prompting an urgent need for new strategies to understand the mechanisms of and offer promising therapies for IBD.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix on tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， endoplasmic reticulum stress signaling pathway protein endoplasmic reticulum stress protein glucose-regulated protein 78 （GRP78）， activated transcription factor 4 （ATF4）， protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （PERK）， and eukaryotic translation initiation factors （eIF2α） and on inflammatory injury of macrophages induced by high glucose， and explore its possible mechanism. MethodThe control serum and serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix were prepared by serum pharmacology. The RAW264.7 macrophages were cultured in vitro， and 62.5 mmol·L^-1 glucose was used to induce macrophages to establish a model of severe endoplasmic reticulum （ER） stress （ERS） in vitro. Different volume fractions of serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix and ERS inhibitor （4-PBA） were used to interfere with the cells. Different glucose concentrations （22.5， 23.5， 25.0， 27.5， 32.5， 47.5， 72.5， 122.5 mmol·L^-1） and the effect of different volume fractions of serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix （0%， 2.5%， 5%， 7.5%， 10%， 15%， 20%） on the survival rate of RAW264.7 macrophages were detected by cell proliferation and cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay. Based on the results of the effect of glucose concentrations on macrophage survival rate by CCK-8， Western blot （WB） was used to determine the protein expression levels of GRP78， the signature protein of ERS， by different concentrations of glucose （22.5， 32.5， 42.5， 52.5， 62.5， 72.5 mmol·L^-1） at different time periods （6， 12， 24， 36， 48 h）， and the optimal concentration and time for establishing the model of severe ERS were screened out. Based on the above experimental results， the cells were divided into blank group， 62.5 mmol·L^-1 glucose model group， 2 mmol·L^-1 4-PBA group， and high， medium， and low-dose （15%， 10%， 5%） serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix groups for subsequent experiments. The expression of TNF-α in the supernatant of RAW264.7 macrophages in the model of severe ERS was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The expressions of related pathway proteins in the model of severe ERS were determined by WB. ResultThe results of CCK-8 assay showed that the survival rate of macrophages reached the highest under the stimulation of glucose concentration of 27.5 mmol·L^-1 （P<0.01）， while the survival rate of macrophages increased with the concentration increasing from 22.5 mmol·L^-1 to 27.5 mmol·L^-1. When the glucose concentration was 25.0 mmol·L^-1， there was a significant difference （P<0.01）， and when the glucose concentration was 37.5 mmol·L^-1 to 122.5 mmol·L^-1， there was a downward trend. The serum containing Puerariae Lobatae Radix showed significant differences in the volume of 1% to 15% （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of WB found that the GRP78 protein expression was the most significant at 24 h （P<0.01）， and the GRP78 protein expression was the most significant when the glucose concentration was 62.5 mmol·L^-1 （P<0.01）. Therefore， 62.5 mmol·L^-1 of glucose was the optimal concentration to induce the model of severe ERS. As compared with the blank group， the protein expression levels of TNF-α， GRP78， ATF4， phosphorylation（p）-PERK/PERK， p-eIF2α/eIF2α in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and as compared with the model group， the protein expression levels of TNF-α， GRP78， ATF4， p-PERK/PERK， p-eIF2α/eIF2α in each administration group were significantly decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe results of in vitro experiments show that Puerariae Lobatae Radix can alleviate the inflammatory injury of macrophages induced by high glucose to a certain extent and restore cell homeostasis by inhibiting the expression of GRP78， ATF4， PERK， and eIF2α in the ERS signaling pathway.
