ABSTRACT

BackgroundNegative effects of mobile phone addiction on undergraduate students have led to several health problems including depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, cognitive impairment and sleep disturbance. The undergraduate nursing students serve as an important reserve force of the clinical nursing work, and their poor psychological health would have a non-ignorable impact on the quality of the nursing work and the nurse-patient relationship in the future. ObjectiveTo investigate the relation between neuroticism and tendency of mobile phone addiction among undergraduate nursing students, and to examine the pathways through which perceived stress and self-control play a role in the relation by constructing a chain-mediated model. MethodsFrom February to March 2023, a total of 900 undergraduate nursing students across 10 universities in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province were selected through convenient sampling method. Several scales were adopted to assess undergraduate nursing students respectively, including the neuroticism subscale of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised Short Scale for Chines (EPQ-RSC), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Self-Control Scale (SCS) and Mobile Phone Addiction Tendency Scale (MPATS). The assessment were conducted on multiple aspects of these students including neurotic personality, subjective stress, self-control and mobile phone addiction tendency. Model 6 in the SPSS Macro Process 4.1 was used to examine the mediating effect of perceived stress and self-control between neuroticism and mobile phone addiction tendency among undergraduate nursing students. Results① Among the 900 students, 314 cases (34.89%) were found to be addicted to mobile phones. ② The score of neuroticism subscale in EPQ-RSC of nursing undergraduates was positively correlated with the total scores of PSS and MPATS (r=0.400, 0.287, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with score of SCS (r=-0.364, P<0.01). The total score of MPATS was positively correlated with the total score of PSS (r=0.362, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the total score of SCS (r=-0.468, P<0.01). The total score of SCS was negatively correlated with the total score of PSS (r=-0.515, P<0.01). ③ Perceived stress and self-control performed partial mediation between neuroticism personality and mobile phone addiction tendency (with indirect effect values of 0.056 and 0.065, respectively, accounting for 19.72% and 22.89% of the total effect). Perceived stress and self-control played a chain mediating role between neuroticism personality and mobile phone addiction tendency (with an indirect effect value of 0.064, accounting for 22.54% of the total effect). ConclusionNeuroticism personality, perceived stress and self-control are confirmed to play important roles in mobile phone addiction tendency among undergraduate nursing students. Neuroticism personality not only directly affects the tendency of mobile phone addiction, but also affects their mobile phone addiction tendency through the chain mediating effect of perceived stress and self-control.[Funded by The 2020 Annual Project of the 13th Five-Year Plan of Education Science in Shaanxi Province (number, SGH20Y1386)]

ABSTRACT

【Objective:】 To explore the effect of metacognition on self-directed learning ability of undergraduate nursing students, and the role of interpersonal communication ability and sense of self-worth between them. 【Methods:】 A total of 905 undergraduate nursing students from six colleges and universities in Shaanxi were selected as the survey subjects by convenient sampling method during August to November 2022. Metacognitive Assessment Inventory, Self-Directed Learning Ability Measurement Scale for Nursing Students, Adolescent Sense of Total Self-Worth Scale, and Supportive Communication Scale were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on undergraduate nursing students. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis of the data. 【Results:】 Finally, 854 valid questionnaires (94.36%) were collected, and the results showed that: a) Metacognition of undergraduate nursing students significantly positively predicted self-directed learning ability (β=0.172, P<0.001). b) Interpersonal communication ability played a partial mediating role between metacognition and self-directed learning ability [β=0.019, 95%CI: 0.004~0.034)] . c) The predictive effect of metacognition on self-directed learning ability was regulated by the level of self-worth (R2=0.314, P<0.001). 【Conclusion:】 This paper indicated that the metacognition of undergraduate nursing students indirectly affects their self-learning ability through interpersonal communication ability, and their sense of self-worth plays a moderating role. It is recommended to improve the metacognitive level of undergraduate nursing students, strengthen their interpersonal communication skills, and focus on the cultivation of self-worth, so as to improve their self-directed learning ability.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the value of detecting plasma donor-derived free DNA (dd-cfDNA) fraction in distinguishing antibody mediated-rejection (ABMR) and T cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) of renal allografts.Methods:Patients with acute rejection confirmed by allograft biopsy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Zhejiang University from December 1, 2017 to July 18, 2019 were retrospectively included. Based on pathological classification of Banff renal allograft rejection in 2017, the patients were divided into ABMR group and TCMR group, and the latter was subdivided into TCMR Ⅰ subgroup and TCMR Ⅱ subgroup. The second generation sequencing and target region capture were used to detect candidates' peripheral blood dd-cfDNA. The demographic and clinicopathological data of the two groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the differential value of plasma dd-cfDNA and serum creatinine levels in two kinds of acute renal allograft rejection.Results:A total of 60 patients with acute rejection of renal transplantation were enrolled in this study, including 42 patients in TCMR group and 18 patients in ABMR group. The plasma dd-cfDNA percentage (%) in the ABMR group was significantly higher than that in the TCMR group [2.33(1.19, 4.30)% vs 0.98(0.50, 1.82)%, P=0.001]. The absolute value of dd-cfDNA in ABMR group was obviously higher than that in TCMR group [0.94(0.60, 2.27) ng/ml vs 0.43(0.20, 0.96) ng/ml, P=0.003]. ROC analysis to discriminate TCMR from ABMR showed that, the area under the curve ( AUC) of dd-cfDNA% was 0.76(95% CI 0.64-0.88), when the threshold was 1.11%, the sensitivity and specificity were 88.89% and 59.52%, respectively; the AUC of absolute value of dd-cfDNA was 0.74(95% CI 0.61-0.86), when the threshold was 0.53 ng/ml, the sensitivity was 88.89% and the specificity was 54.76%. TCMR subgroups were further analyzed, there was no significant difference between TCMR subgroups on the absolute value and percentage of dd-cfDNA (both P>0.05); dd-cfDNA% in ABMR group was apparently higher than that in TCMRⅠ subgroups ( P=0.008) and TCMRⅡsubgroup ( P=0.030). The absolute value of dd-cfDNA in ABMR group was significantly higher than that in TCMRⅠsubgroups ( P=0.003). Conclusion:Plasma dd-cfDNA level may help to distinguish between ABMR and TCMR rejection.

ABSTRACT

Objective To express and purify two domains GcⅠand GcⅡof Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever virus (XHFV) glycoprotein, and to study its immunogenicity and the effects on immune response in mice. Methods The prokaryotic expression plasmids of pET28a-GcⅠand pET32a-GcⅡwere constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21, respectively. The expression and purification conditions of rGcⅠand rGcⅡproteins were optimized. The antigenicity of the fusion protein was detected by Western Blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BALB/c mice were immunized by protein immunization and DNA priming-protein boosting. The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, including pVAX1-GcⅠ+rGcⅠgroup, pVAX1-GcⅡ+rGcⅡgroup, rGcⅠgroup, rGcⅡgroup and saline group (control group) with 7 mice in each group. The serum antibody titer of mice was detected by indirect ELISA, and the immune effect was evaluated by spleen T lymphocyte proliferation assay and cytokine content determination. Results The fusion proteins rGcⅠand rGcⅡwere purified and obtained, which could react with positive serum of sheep and had good antigenicity. After three immunizations, the IgG levels in the serum of each experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.001). The serum antibody titers of the experimental groups were reached above 1:12800. Among them, the concentration of Th2 type cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) in the spleen cell culture supernatant of rGcⅡ[(79.97±7.47) ng/L] and pVAX1-GcⅡ+rGcⅡgroup [(61.43±9.27) ng/L] was significantly higher than (24.29±3.81) ng/L of the control group, respectively (all P<0.01). The highest mass concentration [(42.46 ±2.60) ng/L] of Th1 type cytokine interferon-γ(IFN-γ) was observed in the pVAX1-GcⅡ+rGcⅡ group, which was significantly higher than (20.33±1.67) ng/L of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). That showed a significant antigen-specific splenic T lymphocyte proliferation (P<0.001). Conclusions The purified recombinant proteins rGcⅠand rGcⅡhave good immunogenicity, which can make the immune system T lymphocytes tend to Th2 response, and pVAX1-GcⅡ combined with recombinant protein GcⅡ can induce better antigen-specific immune effect. And pVAX1-GcⅡ combined with recombinant protein GcⅡis expected to be used as vaccine candidates for the prevention and control of XHFV.

ABSTRACT

In recent years, PET-CT has an increasing importance in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. PET-CT scan can be used as a noninvasive method for molecular subtyping of breast cancer, and prediction of therapeutic effect and prognosis of patients. Studies have revealed that luminal A subtype has a significantly lower maximum standard intake value (SUVmax) than the other subtypes; triple-negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive tumors have relatively high SUVmax than luminal B subtype, but the specificity and sensitivity of SUVmax in diagnosis of molecular subtypes are very low, so its clinical application is limited. In predicting the effectiveness of the treatment and the prognosis of the patients, the decreased uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is correlated with better therapeutic effect. In addition, patients with high FDG uptake have worse survival outcomes. New tracers, such asF-fluoroestradiol (F-FES) and[89Zr]trastuzumab play an important role in molecular subtyping of breast cancer.F-FES PET-CT can effectively evaluate the estrogen receptor (ER) status of breast cancer and the response to endocrine therapy.[89Zr]trastuzumab PET-CT can evaluate the expression of HER2 and localization of HER2-overexpressing tumors, but their specificities and sensitivities are also low. In this article, we review the recent advances on the correlation of PET-CT findings with molecular subtypes, treatment response and prognosis of breast cancer.

ABSTRACT

Objective To describe status of cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and its trajectory during three different time node for the operation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy among breast cancer patients. Methods The convenience sampling method was used for 242 cases diagnosed with breast cancer which prepared for breast cancer resection, prepared to be treated with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and conformed to the sample standard from a tumor hospital and two affiliated hospital of medical college from February 2014 to November 2015 in a city. The follow-up survey of CRF was conducted respectively in the three different point-in-time for one week after the operation, at the end of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Results After the operation mean rating for general fatigue was mild (2.59±2.41) points, and approximately 76.0% (184/242) patients experienced fatigue to low- grade degree; After the chemotherapy fatigue was significantly increased (6.57 ± 2.43) points, and 75.2% (182/242) patients accounted for severe fatigue; After the radiotherapy mean rating for fatigue was moderate (4.38 ± 2.46) points, and 57.0%(138/242) patients suffered to moderate fatigue. During the whole treatment period the level for general fatigue and four dimensions of fatigue were in the unstable state ofwaveof fluctuations with mild, severe, moderate, and fatigue were statistically different in three different stages of treatment ( F= 43.16,P=0.000). The age and operation method were associated with CRF in thephaseofoperation(age t=7.365, P=0.003; operation method t=5.166, P=0.009), chemotherapy (age t=9.835, P=0.000; operation method t=3.313, P=0.025) and radiotherapy (age t=9.014, P=0.000;operation method t=10.392, P=0.000). Conclusions There is a certain difference with CRF of breast cancer patients at different stage of rehabilitation treatment. There are two factors that could affect CRF such as age and operation method in the whole rehabilitation treatmentperiod.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antitumor effect of cadmium (Ⅱ) complex of pyrazolone derivatives 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-propionyl-5-pyrazolone salicyloyl hydrazide-cadmium (Ⅱ) (Cd-PMPP-SAL) on the murine melanoma B16 cells in vitro and in vivo and its mechanisms. METHODS B16 cells were incubated with Cd-PMPP-SAL at 1.0, 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mg·L-1 for 24, 48 or 72 h. The prolifera? tion rate of B16 cel s was evaluated by MTT assay. B16 cel s were incubated with Cd-PMPP-SAL at 6.25, 12.50 and 25.00 mg·L-1 for 24 h, while cell morphology was observed by Hoechst33258 staining. Apop?tosis of B16 cells was detected by Annexin Ⅴ-FITC/PI staining. The activity of caspases in B16 cells was detected by caspase activity assay. C57BL/6J mice were inoculated subcutaneously with B16 cells to establish a tumor-bearing model. Five days later, Cd-PMPP-SAL at 6.25, 12.50 and 25.00 mg·kg-1 was injected into tumors of C57BL/6J mice once a day for 12 d. The body mass was recorded daily. One day after the last administration, all the mice were killed and the tumor was harvested. Tumor volume and mass were measured, and the tumor inhibitory rates were calculated. Pathological changes of the tumor, liver and lung were observed under a microscope. The expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) in tumor tissues were detected by immuno?histochemistry. The apoptotic cells in transplanted tumor tissues were detected by TUNEL. RESULTS Cd-PMPP-SAL inhibited the proliferation of B16 cells. The IC50 was 4.946 mg · L-1, and 95% confidence interval was 4.24-5.65 mg · L-1. The apoptosis rates(12.8 ± 1.4)% and (18.4 ± 0.4)% of Cd-PMPP-SAL 12.50 and 25.00 mg · L-1 groups were significantly higher than those of control group (1.7 ± 0.1)% (P<0.01). The activity of caspase 3 and 9 of Cd-PMPP-SAL 25.00 mg · L-1 group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in caspases 3/7. The relative tumor volumes of Cd-PMPP-SAL 6.25, 12.50 and 25.00 mg · kg-1 treated groups from the 8th day of treatment were significantly decreased compared with the model group (P<0.01). The result of paraffin sections showed that the transplanted tumor tissues in Cd-PMPP-SAL 12.50 and 25.00 mg · kg- 1 groups exhibited different degrees of necrosis, but there was no significant pathological damage to the liver or lung tissues of mice. Compared with model group, expressions of VEGF and FGF2 in Cd-PMPP-SAL 12.50 and 25.00 mg · kg-1 treated groups were significantly inhibited (P<0.05), and apoptotic cell rates were significantly higher (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Cd-PMPP-SAL can inhibit growth of B16 cells in vivo and in vitro, which may be associated with induction of tumor cell apoptosis and inhibition of tumor angiogenesis.

ABSTRACT

In order to investigate the effects of phenylalanine, tyrosine and tyramine on the growth of Lycoris radiata suspension cells and the accumulation of alkaloids, the growth quantity of the cells as well as the content of alkaloids in cells were determined, which were treated with above three kinds of precursors alone and phenylalanine combined with tyrosine respectively. The results indicate that the addition of phenylalanine alone and addition of phenylalanine on the basis of tyrosine at high concentration (200 micromol/L) had no significant effect on the growth of Lycoris radiata suspension cells and the content of alkaloids in cells; whereas tyrosine and tyramine promoted the growth of the cells and alkaloids accumulation. Treated with tyrosine at high concentration (200 micromol/L), the content of alkaloids of the cells was 2.56-fold higher than that of the control group, the amounts of lycoramine (3.77 mg/g) and galanthamine (4.46 mg/g) were 6.61-fold and 6.97-fold higher than that of the control group, respectively. When treated with tyramine (200 micromol/L), the amount of alkaloids in Lycoris radiata suspension cells was 2.63-fold higher than that of the control group, and the amounts of lycoramine (4.45 mg/g) and galanthamine (5.14 mg/g) were 9.08-fold and 9.18-fold higher than that of the control group, respectively. The above results demonstrate that adding tyrosine and tyramine in the media significantly promoted the growth of the Lycoris radiata suspension cells and alkaloids accumulation in the cells.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To explore the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) on the activity and expression of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (γ-GCS), and its role in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHODS: COPD model was established by the method of combining fumigation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) intra-tracheal dripping. Meanwhile, some of the COPD rats were administered with rosiglitazone (RGZ), a PPARγ activator. The pulmonary function and the pathological changes were determined. ROS content and γ-GCS activity in lung tissues were detected. The levels of PPARγ, γ-GCS mRNA and protein expression in lung tissues were measured by immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, in situ hybridization (ISH) and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: The pulmonary function (FEV_(0.3), FEV_(0.3)/FVC%, PEF) were significantly improved in RGZ group compared to COPD group. Under light microscope, lung pathological changes in COPD group conformed to pathological features of COPD. The pathological changes of lung tissue were obviously reduced in RGZ group compared to COPD group. In RGZ group, ROS content was obviously reduced and γ-GCS activity significantly increased compared to COPD group. Protein and mRNA expressions of PPARγ and γ-GCS in COPD group significantly higher than those in control group (all P<0.01), and those in RGZ group was markedly increased compared to COPD group (all P<0.05). Linear correlation analysis showed that PPARγ protein was positively correlated with γ-GCS activity (r=0.634, P<0.01), and was no significantly correlated with ROS content (r=0.214, P>0.05). PPARγ protein was positively correlated with γ-GCS protein and mRNA (r=0.553, r=0.442, all P<0.01). CONCLUSION: PPARγ activation by RGZ reduces the extent of COPD oxidant/antioxidant imbalance, which plays an important role in the prevention and treatment of COPD. In addition, PPARγ may play an important antioxidant protection role by reducing ROS production, and increasing activity and gene expression of γ-GCS in the lung.

ABSTRACT

The nafion/carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) composite film modified glassy carbon electrode was pre pared by dropwise method, and the electrocatalyst of H_2O_2 at Nafion/CNPs modified electrode was investiga ted.The results show that electrocataytic activitie for detection of H_2O_2 at the modified electrode is very good.The biosensing application of CNPs was demonstrated through fabrication of an electrochemical biosensor.The biosensor was constructed by encapsulating glucose oxidase in the Nafion/CNPs composite film.The biosensor had good electrocatalytic activity toward oxidation of glucose.The glucose biosensor shows a linear range from 2.0 × 10 ~(-6) to 6.0×10~(-3) mol/L with a detection limit of 1.6×10 ~(-6) mol/L.The biosensor shows high stabili ty, good reproducibility and can avoid the commonly coexisted interference.In addition, real rat serum samples were analyzed by this biosensor with satisfactory results.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the relationship among the cancer-related fatigue,coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.Methods:A total 120 female breast cancer patients were selected as the subjects.The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire that was composed of four parts:the demographic data form,the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS),Jalowiec Coping Scale (JCS),Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30),and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Breast 23 (QLQ-BR23).The statistical software SPSS was used for data analysis.Cancer-related fatigue,coping styles,quality of life and their related factors were determined by nonparametric tests.Spearman correlation coefficient was used to investigate the relationship among cancer-related fatigue,coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy.Results:There was a significant negative moderate correlation between cancer-related fatigue and the quality of life (r=-0.24,P<0.01),and negative correlation between cancer-related fatigue and the total health status (r=-0.39,P<0.01).The positive coping styles including optimistic and confronting were negatively correlated with cancer-related fatigue (r=-0.25,-0.18,Ps<0.05),and were positively related to the functional domain of quality of life(r=0.35,0.21, Ps<0.05).The positive coping styles including emotive,fatalistic,and palliative were positively correlated with cancer-related fatigue (r=0.25,0.18,and 0.28, Ps<0.05),and were negatively correlated with the functional domain of quality of life (r=-0.40,-0.32,Ps<0.05),and emotive and fatalistic were positively related to the symptomatic domain of quality of life(r=0.40,0.28,Ps<0.05).Conclusion:There exists a certain degree of correlation among cancer-related fatigue,coping styles and quality of life in breast cancer patients with chemotherapy,which may guide the clinical care.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical role of two-hour(C2)of CsA in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.METHODS:The whole blood CsA concentration of 9 patients of C0 and 12 of C2 were determined by FPIA method . RESULTS: The satisfactory immunosuppressive concentration was found as follow: C0 was 200~400 ?g?L-1and C2 was 500~700 ?g?L-1.Both C0 and C2 could predict the acute rejection and side-effects,but C2 is more effective.CONCLUSION:The factors that affect the whole blood concentration of CsA were complex. CsA blood concentration monitoring can be used to guide rational use of CsA,but C2 is more effective than C0.
