ABSTRACT
Specialist nurses play an increasingly important role in clinical,and at the same time,they(especially enterostomal therapists/wound stoma specialist nurses)are often troubled by ethical problems when facing patients independently.Based on the"structured analysis form of clinical nursing ethics"constructed in the early stage,this paper used a case study method,took a chronic wound patient with postpartum fat liquefaction combined with thread-knot reaction as an example,conducted an in-depth analysis and reflection on the ethical problems of enterostomal therapists choosing treatment plans in clinical work,as well as proposed clinical recommendations.Base on this,this paper suggests that specialist nurses should fully consider the wishes and background characteristics of patients when nursing and treating patients,and use the four-box model of ethical analysis to analyze and solve ethical conflicts.
ABSTRACT
Cognitive impairment refers to the abnormality of the hippocampus， cortex and other parts of the brain， which is manifested by the decline of cognitive abilities such as learning， memory and attention. With the increase in people's work pressure and bad living habits， the incidence of cognitive impairment is getting higher and higher， which seriously affects people's normal life. However， there are adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal reactions and extrapyramidal reactions in Western drug treatment for cognitive impairment. Therefore， the development of a drug with relatively minimal adverse reactions is of great significance. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has the characteristics of "multi-component， multi-pathway and multi-target"， and the incidence of adverse reactions is relatively low. Studies have shown that the pathogenesis of cognitive impairment is closely related to oxidative stress， inflammation， apoptosis， autophagy and other processes of neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）-protein kinase B （Akt） signal pathway plays an important role in the transmission of intracellular and intracellular signals， and in the regulation of cellular inflammation， apoptosis， autophagy， etc. TCM monomers， TCM extracts， and TCM compounds exert anti-inflammatory， antioxidant， anti-apoptotic and autophagy regulation effects by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to improve cognitive impairment. This review first summarized the composition and regulatory process of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， and then discussed the research progress on the improvement of cognitive impairment through the improvement of oxidative stress， inflammation， apoptosis and autophagy of neurons. Finally， the recent research status of the regulation of this signaling pathway by TCM extracts， TCM monomers and TCM compounds to improve cognitive impairment was summarized. This study provides a theoretical basis for the future study of new TCM related to cognitive impairment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of long non-coding ribonucleic acid growth arrest specific 5(lncRNA GAS5),phospholysine phosphohistidine inorganic pyrophosphate phos-phatase(LHPP)and epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)in cancer tissues of patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)and its clinical significance.Methods Cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of 90 patients with NSCLC who underwent surgical resection in the First Hospital Affiliated to Hebei North College from June 2018 to January 2020 were collected.The expressions of lncRNA GAS5,LHPP and EMT-associated pro-teins[E-calmodulin(E-Cad),N-calmodulin(N-Cad),and vimentin(VIM)]were detected by real-time fluores-cence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The relationship between lncRNA GAS5 and LHPP mRNA and clinicopathological features in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients was analyzed,and the correlation between ln-cRNA GAS5 and LHPP mRNA and EMT-associated proteins expression in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients was analyzed by Pearson correlation.Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curves of NSCLC pa-tients with different lncRNA GAS5 and LHPP mRNA expressions,and multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of NSCLC patients.Results The expressions of lncRNA GAS5,LHPP mR-NA and E-Cad mRNA in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients were lower than those in adjacent tissues,while the expressions of N-Cad mRNA and VIM mRNA were higher than those in adjacent tissues,with statistical sig-nificance(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that lncRNA GAS5 in cancer tissues of NSCLC pa-tients was positively correlated with E-Cad mRNA expression(r=0.724,P＜0.001),and negatively correla-ted with N-Cad mRNA and VIM mRNA expression(r=-0.699,-0.689).P＜0.001);lncRNA GAS5 was positively correlated with LHPP mRNA expression(r=0.651,P＜0.001).The mRNA expressions of ln-cRNA GAS5 and LHPP in cancer tissues of NSCLC patients with different degrees of differentiation,tumor TNM stage and lymph node metastasis were significantly different(P＜0.05).Kaplan-Meier survival curve a-nalysis showed that the 3-year overall survival rate in the lncRNA GAS5 high expression group[68.18％(30/44)]was higher than that in the lncRNA GAS5 low expression group[36.96％(17/46)].The 3-year overall survival rate in the high LHPP mRNA expression group[67.39％(31/46)]was higher than that in the lowLHPP mRNA expression group[36.36％(16/44)],and the difference was statistically significant(x2=10.274,10.322,P＜0.05).Low differentiation,TNM stage Ⅲ and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors for death in NSCLC patients,and lncRNA GAS5≥1.32 and LHPP mRNA≥1.12 were independ-ent protective factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion The low expression of lncRNA GAS5 and LHPP mRNA in cancer tissues of patients with NSCLC is related to EMT-associated proteins expression,differentiation de-gree,tumor TNM stage,lymph node metastasis and prognosis,and may become a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the impact of health self-focused attention on knowledge, attitude and practice of health management in patients with essential hypertension.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 190 patients with essential hypertension were randomly selected from Shanghai Dapuqiao Community Health Service Center to participate in a questionnaire survey from October to December, 2021. The contents of the questionnaire included the general information of the patients, the degree of influence of hypertension on individuals, and the patients′ knowledge and personal cognition of hypertension, self-management behaviors, health self-focused attention, and blood pressure control. SPSS 25.0 and AMOS 24.0 were used to develop a structural equation model for analysis.Results:The recovery rate of questionnaires was 100.0% (190/190). Of the 190 patients, there were 82 males and 108 females with a mean age of (71.2±8.5) years. According to blood pressure, 190 hypertensive patients were divided into blood pressure controlled group ( n=119) and blood pressure non-controlled group ( n=71). There were significant differences in the total scores of hypertension self-management behavior and health self-focused attention between the two groups ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the degree of influence of hypertension on individuals was negatively correlated with the disease knowledge and personal cognition, and the performance of hypertension self-management behavior ( r=-0.39 and -0.28, P<0.01), while the disease knowledge and personal cognition were positively correlated with the performance of hypertension self-management behavior and health self-focused attention ( r=0.29 and 0.27, P<0.01). Hypertension self-management behavior was positively correlated with health self-focused attention and blood pressure control ( r=0.28 and 0.48, P<0.01), and health self-focused attention was positively correlated with blood pressure control ( r=0.21, P<0.01). The equation model analysis showed that health self-focused attention had a driving effect on patients′ disease knowledge and cognition and self-management behavior. Health self-focused attention significantly affected patients′ mastery of disease knowledge and formation of correct cognition (path coefficient=0.28). In addition, hypertension patients′ disease knowledge storage and internal recognition of prevention and treatment strategies determined their self-management behavior (path coefficient=0.20). On the other hand, the impact of hypertension on patients life, work and economic burden played a negative role in their acceptance of disease management knowledge, formation of correct concepts, and adoption of self-management behaviors with adjustment coefficients of -0.48 and -0.22, respectively. Conclusion:Health self-focused attention may play an initial role in the process of changing the knowledge, attitude and behavior of hypertension patients.

ABSTRACT
Insomnia is a common disease and its impact on human health cannot be ignored.At present,there are 3 main clinical treatments for insomnia,including traditional Chinese medicine treatment,sedative hypnotic drug therapy,and cognitive behavioral therapy.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatment for insomnia is widely used due to its advantages of low side effects,good efficacy,and no drug dependence.This paper summarizes the pathogenesis of insomnia in the theories of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.Modern medical research generally believes that sleep-wake disorder is the main pathological mechanism of insomnia,involving many factors such as monoamine neurotransmitter disorder,cytokine imbalance and intestinal flora imbalance.TCM mainly divides the pathogenesis of insomnia into 9 kinds of syndrome types:Liver depression transforming into fire,hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency,phlegm-heat attacking internally,disharmony between heart and kidney,deficiency of both heart and spleen,qi deficiency of both heart and gallbaldder,stomach qi disharmony,exuberance of heart fire,and internal blockade of static blood.According to these 9 kinds of pathogenesis of insomnia,the corresponding classical prescriptions such as Longdanxiegan decoction,Suanzaoren decoction,Huanglian-Wendan decoction,Jiaotai pill and Guipi decoction were analyzed and summarized.There is evidence that traditional Chinese medicine could treat insomnia mainly by increasing the level of 5-hydroxytryptamine,reducing the levels of dopamine,noradrenaline,tumor necrosis factor α,and interlukin-6,decreasing the ratio of glutamic acid to γ-aminobutyric acid,and inhibiting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the clinical outcomes of living related kidney transplantation (LRKT) recipients with hyperuricemia.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 212 cases of LRKTs performed between Jan. 2015 and Dec. 2021. All cases involved children who received a kidney transplant donated by their parents. Based on the average blood uric acid levels (>420 μmol/L) between 1 to 12 months postoperatively, the patients were divided into two groups: the hyperuricemia group (HUA, n=43) and the non-hyperuricemia group (non-HUA, n=169) . Demographic information, the incidence of adverse events within one year after the operation, serum creatinine (Scr) levels, and the survival rate of the transplanted kidney at 1, 3, and 5 years after the operation were compared between the groups. Results:The non-HUA group had a significantly shorter preoperative dialysis duration compared to the HUA group (median 350 days vs 484 days) . The incidence of delayed graft function and acute rejection within 1 year postoperatively was significantly higher in the HUA group compared to the non-HUA group (14.0% vs 4.7% and 11.6% vs 2.4%) . At 1, 3, and 5 years after surgery, the serum creatinine levels in the HUA group were significantly higher than those in the Non HUA group, which were (131.1±31.2) vs (116.3±32.1) mmol, (133.6±34.7) vs (119.9±31.9) mmol/L, and (137.3±32.4) vs (115.4±30.3) mmol/L. The survival rate of kidney transplantation was slightly lower in the HUA group compared to the non-HUA group, but the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions:Hyperuricemia in kidney transplant recipients who received a donor kidney from their parents is associated with increased incidences of delayed graft function and acute rejection, as well as compromised graft kidney function.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical utility of intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) localization technique in locating the tip of umbilical venous catheterization (UVC).Methods:From April 2020 to March 2021, premature infants admitted to the Department of Neonatology of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and received UVC were collected for a prospective study. According to whether IC-ECG was used to determine the position of umbilical vein catheter tip during catheterization, they were divided into IC-ECG group and control group. The differences of catheterization success rate, total incidence of catheter-related complications were compared between the two groups. The relationship between characteristic P waves and the position of the catheter tip in the IC-ECG group was also analyzed.Results:A total of 104 premature infants were enrolled, including 52 cases in IC-ECG group and 52 cases in control group. The catheter placement accuracy rate of the IC-ECG group was higher than that of the control group (53.8% vs. 28.8%, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference of the total incidence of catheter-related complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Among the 40 cases with characteristic P wave changes in the IC-ECG group, 21 cases had normal P wave, of which 13 cases (61.9%) were with the correct position. And 19 cases had low-amplitude bimodal P waves, of which 15 cases (78.9%) were with the correct position. There was no statistically significant difference of the exact position rate of the catheter tips between the two types of P waves ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The use of IC-ECG localization technique in the process of catheterization of umbilical vein can increase the exact position rate of catheterization. Furthermore, when IC-ECG monitoring shows characteristic P wave changes to normal P wave or low-amplitude bimodal P wave, the tip of the UVC catheter may be located accurately.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of initial acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and its correlation with meteorological factors, and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of ACI. Methods Atotal of 308 ACI patients admitted to our hospital from 2019 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed, and the age, gender, height, weight, complications, onset season and initial symptoms of all patients were systematically analyzed from the hospital case system. Collected during the same period of meteorological data, including: monthly average temperature (℃), monthly mean minimum temperature (℃), monthly average highest temperature (℃), monthly average diurnal range (℃), the average daily air pressure (kPa), etc., by using circular distribution analysis the season of incipient ACI onset regularity, the linear correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis of the relationship between meteorological factors and the incipient ACI onset. Results The male to female ratio of 308 patients was 1.15:1. A among of 55.84% of the patients were 65 years old or older and mainly lived in urban areas (77.27%). The main risk factors were hypertension (24.03%), followed by hyperlipidemia (24.03%). The incidence was mainly in winter (30.84%) and spring (26.62%). The first symptoms are headache, dizziness, unclear speech, followed by malignant, tinnitus, vomiting, hemiplegia, dysphagia, etc. The number of ACI cases was highest in January and December, and lowest in May and June.Linear correlation analysis showed that the number of ACI cases was negatively correlated with monthly mean air temperature, monthly mean minimum air temperature and monthly mean daily range ( r=-0.362 , -0.429, -0.374, P<0.05), and positively correlated with monthly mean air pressure ( r=0.317, P<0.05). The meteorological factors that affected the incidence of ACI were monthly mean minimum temperature, followed by monthly mean daily range (P<0.05). Conclusion Meteorological factors are the influencing factors of the incidence of initial ACI. The incidence of initial ACI is high under low temperature and high atmospheric pressure. Active intervention should be given to reduce the incidence.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To construct a comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs， and to provide a basis for drug selection and rational clinical use. METHODS Based on the Guidelines for the Management of Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation of Drugs （2021 edition for trial use）， a preliminary evaluation index system framework and an index preselection pool were initially formulated through literature analysis. The evaluation indices were then selected and modified by using the Delphi method. The weights of each index were determined through expert scoring and relevant calculations， thereby establishing a comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs. Referred to Quick Guideline for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions， scoring detailed rules for clinical comprehensive evaluation indexes of anti-lung cancer drugs were formulated. The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system and scoring detailed rules were applied to conduct empirical evaluation of the anti-lung cancer drug pembrolizumab. RESULTS The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs included 6 primary indicators and 15 secondary indicators. The weights of the primary indicators were as follows： safety （18）， efficacy （38）， economy （15）， innovation （9）， suitability （10）， and accessibility （10）. The scoring detailed rules for the comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs had been preliminarily established. The results of empirical evaluation showed that the comprehensive evaluation score （61 points） of pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy regimen was higher than that of the monotherapy chemotherapy regimen （56 points）. The former demonstrated superior efficacy， innovation and suitability compared to the latter， while the latter exhibited better safety and economy. CONCLUSIONS The constructed comprehensive evaluation index system for anti-lung cancer drugs has the potential for generalizability and practical application， providing a reference basis for rational clinical drug use.
ABSTRACT
Tinosporae Radix， as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb， is the dried root tuber of Tinospora sagittata or T. capillipes. It was first recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement in the Qing Dynasty and included in the previous edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Tinosporae Radix is excavated in autumn and winter and used after removing fibrous roots， washing， and drying. It is indicated for sore throat， carbuncle boils poison， waist and abdominal pain， and various heat syndromes and is commonly used to treat chronic inflammation. Its efficacy is significantly known as “broad-spectrum antibiotics in Zhuang medicine”. Tinosporae Radix is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb often taken by Zhuang and Yao nationalities in Guangxi province and has a wide range of application and development values and research significance. Modern studies have shown that Tinosporae Radix contains diterpenoids， alkaloids， sterols， anthraquinones， glycosides， fatty acids， volatile oils， and other compounds， which have many pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic， antibacterial and antibacterial， antioxidant， anti-diabetic， and anti-tumor and anti-cancer effects， and it has achieved good efficacy in inhibiting inflammation and treating sore throat and other diseases. In recent years， there have been many research reports on the status， chemical constituents， pharmacological action， clinical application， and quality evaluation of Tinosporae Radix resources， but there is no systematic review and introduction at present.
