ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of HMGB1-TLR4-NF-κB signaling pathway in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in-jury and the effect of adenosine preconditioning on the signaling pathway.Methods:Total 80 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 220~270 g were selected from the Animal Center of Xinxiang Medical University.The rats were randomly divided into F group(sham operation group),I/R group(ischemia reperfusion group)and AP group(adenosine preconditioning group).The MCAO model of rats was established by wire embolization.Quantitative analysis of neural function in successfully modeled rats using animal behavior scor-ing method,the morphological changes of brain cells were observed by HE staining,TTC staining was used to observe cerebral infarc-tion and cerebral infarction volume was calculated;Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect HMGB1,TLR4 and NF-κB pro-tein expression levels in brain tissues of each group.The data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA in SPSS26.0 software.Results:After ischemia reperfusion,the neurological function of I/R group and AP group showed different degrees of impairment,and the neurological function scores of the two groups were significantly higher than that of F group,the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05),and the neurological function of the AP group was significantly less than that of I/R group,the difference was also sta-tistically significant(P<0.05).TTC staining showed that AP group,I/R group rat cerebral infarction volume was significantly more than F group[(93.670±4.509)mm3,(123.670±7.234)mm3 vs(0.000±0.000)mm3],and AP group rats infarction volume was signifi-cantly reduced than that in I/R group,the difference had statistical significance(P<0.05).Immunohistochemistry showed that HMGB1,TLR4,NF-κB protein in F group with a small amount of expressions in rats,while significantly expressed in AP group and I/R group relatively,and the AP group of each subgroup rat HMGB1,TLR4,NF-κB protein expressions significantly lower than the amount of I/R group,the difference had statistical significance(P<0.05).Conclusion:Adenosine preconditioning can reduce the expressions of HMGB1,TLR4 and NF-κB protein,and then protect the rats with cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of empathy between personality traits and death attitude in nursing students.Methods:From April to May 2022, a total of 237 undergraduate nursing students were surveyed by general information questionnaire, big five inventory, Jefferson scale of empathy for nursing students, and death attitude profile-revised. Common method bias test, correlation analysis and descriptive analysis were conducted by SPSS 26.0 software.PROCESS macro program was used to test the mediating effect.Results:Agreeableness(32.78±4.92), empathy(110.03±16.83)were positively correlated with positive death attitude(57.95±12.35)( r=0.274, 0.571, both P<0.01), neuroticism(23.00±4.78)was positively correlated with negative death attitude(31.81±10.04)( r=0.199, P<0.01), empathy was negatively correlated with negative death attitude ( r=-0.226, P<0.01). Empathy partially mediated the relationship between neuroticism and negative death attitude, the mediating effect accounted for 16.08%(0.032/0.199) of the total effect, and empathy played a completely mediating role between the agreeableness and positive death attitude. Conclusion:The death attitude of undergraduate nursing students is mainly natural acceptance. Personality traits can directly affect death attitude and also indirectly affect death attitude through empathy.

ABSTRACT
【Objective:】 To understand the current situation of nurses’ professional quality of life in China and its correlation with benefit findings, so as to provide reference for formulating targeted measures to improve nurses’ professional quality of life in China. 【Methods:】 Questionnaire star was used to conduct a cross-sectional survey of 11 924 registered nurses in China from January 2022 to April 2022 using the General Information Questionnaire, the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) and the General Benefit Discovery Scale (GBFS). SPSS 22.0 software was used for data analysis. 【Results:】 The scores of various dimensions of nurses’ ProQOL scale were: compassion satisfaction was (32.71±6.81) points, burnout was (27.38±5.20) points, secondary traumatic stress was (28.44±6.67) points, and the total score of GBFS was (100.90±18.04) points. The results of multiple linear stepwise regression showed that the main influencing factors of compassion satisfaction were marital status, position, work unit level and educational background (P<0.05). The main influencing factors of burnout were position, professional title, work unit level and whether there were children to be taken care of at home (P<0.05). The main influencing factors of secondary traumatic stress were education background, marital status, professional title, whether there was an old person to be taken care of at home, whether to take care of COVID-19 patients, whether to be an epidemic support staff and position (P<0.05). Benefit finding independently predicted the three dimensions of nurses’ professional quality of life (P<0.001). 【Conclusions:】 Chinese nurses’ professional quality of life was at a moderate level and it was significantly affected by benefit finding. Attention should be paid to factors such as marital status, work unit level, position, professional title, education background, whether there was an old person to be taken care of at home, whether to take care of COVID-19 patients, so as to improve the level of nurses’ benefit finding, promote their personal growth, provide good job guarantee, and improve Chinese nurses’ professional quality of life.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the effects of perceived risk of COVID-19 of college students on their anxiety and depression, as well as the roles of attention to negative information and perceived social support, so as to provide theoretical basis for colleges and universities to formulate corresponding intervention measures. 【Methods】 By the convenience sampling method, totally 1 404 college students from Shaanxi and Henan provinces were investigated online by using General Information Questionnaire, Perceived Risk of COVID-19 Pandemic Scale, Attention to Negative Information Scale, Patient Health Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Perceived Social Support Scale. SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis, Pearson correlation method was used to explore the correlation between variables. The mediating effect of attention to negative information and the moderating effect of perceived social support were analyzed by PROCESS. 【Results】 The scores of anxiety and depression of the 1 404 college students included in the study were 4.03±4.48 and 6.21±5.41, respectively. The detection rate of anxiety symptom was 29.9%, and that of depression symptom was 44.4%. The risk perception of COVID-19 epidemic of the college students was positively correlated with attention to negative information (r=0.373, P<0.001), anxiety (r=0.227, P<0.001), and depression (r=0.226, P<0.001). Anxiety (r=0.553, P<0.001) and depression (r=0.497, P<0.001) were positively correlated with attention to negative information, while perceived social support was negatively correlated with the risk perception of the COVID-19 (r=-0.154, P<0.001), attention to negative information (r=-0.259, P<0.001), anxiety (r=-0.321, P<0.001) and depression (r=-0.278, P<0.001). The risk perception of COVID-19 affected the anxiety and depression of the students mainly through the mediating effect of attention to negative information. The total effect of risk perception of COVID-19 and anxiety was 0.227, and the mediating effect accounted for 80.18% of the total effect. The total effect of risk perception of COVID-19 and depression was 0.228, and the mediating effect accounted for 90.35% of the total effect. Perceived social support played a moderating role in the last half of this mediating model. 【Conclusion】 Risk perception of COVID-19 indirectly affects the occurrence of anxiety and depression in college students through attention to negative information, and perceived social support plays a moderating role in this mediating model. The findings suggest that when a risk event occurs, colleges and universities should pay attention to guiding students to adjust their attentional bias to external information, and give students enough care and support to improve their mental health.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the rehabilitation efficacy of early mobilization based on collaboration care model for patients with laparoscopic colorectal surgery.Methods:Cluster sampling method was used in the department to recruit colorectal cancer patients with laparoscopic surgery. The control group (49 cases) received routine perioperative care and exercise, and the intervention group (47 cases) received the coordinated early mobilization combined with routine perioperative care and exercise, from January to March 2019. Primary outcome were health status and the proportion of patients returning to preoperative functional walking capacity (6-min walk test) at 4 weeks after surgery. The in-hospital mobilization (time out-of-bed), time to achieve discharge criteria, time to recover gastrointestinal function and complication rate were explored.Results:In intervention group,89.4%(42/47) of patients achieved mobilization target on 4 days after surgery compared with 42.6%(20/47) on the day of surgery. Time out of bed were greater in the intervention group compared with the control group, and there were differences between the two groups( Z values were -8.437--7.381, P<0.01). Time to recover gastrointestinal function and the recovery of energy on 3 days after surgery were (58.74±17.41) h, (59.02±9.46) points in the observation group, and (71.82±21.53) h, (62.61±7.68) points in the control group, and there were significant differences between the two groups ( t values were -3.263, -2.046, P<0.05). But other outcome measures were not different between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For colorectal laparoscopic surgery patients, the coordinated early mobilization improved the adherence to ambulation, in-hospital mobilization, time to recover gastrointestinal function and recovery of energy to promote rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT
Purpose@#Most lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) patients are diagnosed at the advanced stage and have poor prognosis. DNA methylation plays an important role in the prognosis prediction of cancers. The objective of this study was to identify new DNA methylation sites as biomarkers for LUAD prognosis. @*Materials and Methods@#We downloaded DNA methylation data from The Cancer Genome Atlas data portal. Cox proportional hazard regression model and random survival forest algorithm were applied to identify the DNA-methylation sites. Methylation of sites were validated in the Gene Expression Omnibus cohorts. Function annotation were done to explore the biological function of DNA methylated sites signature. @*Results@#Six DNA methylation sites were identified as prognosis signature. The signature yielded acceptable discrimination between the high-risk group and low-risk group. The discrimination effect of this DNA methylation signature for the OS was obvious, with a median OS of 21.89 months vs. 17.74 months for high-risk vs. low-risk groups. This prognostic prediction model was validated by the test group and GEO dataset. The predictive survival value was higher for the prognostic prediction model than that for the tumor node metastasis stage. Adjuvant hemotherapy could not affect the prediction of the signature. Functional analysis indicated that these signature genes were involved in protein binding and cytoplasm. @*Conclusion@#We identified the prognostic signature for LUAD by combining six DNA methylation sites. This could service as potential robust and specificity signature in the prognosis prediction of LUAD.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the impact of WeChat-assisted follow-up on self-administer medication capability of stroke survivors.Methods Seventy patients were recruited from a tertiary hospital and randomly divided into intervention group (n=35) and control group (n=35).Patients in intervention group were given WeChat-assisted follow-up including health education program and behavior guidance,and patients in control group received regular discharge care.The effects of WeChat-assisted follow-up and regular care on self-administer medication ability,cognitive and behavior level were assessed.Results After three months' follow-up,the scores of self-administer medication capability (38 (32,42)),experience (25 (20,28) and the integral level (87 (71,92)) in intervention group were significantly higher than those in control group (capability 25(16,38),experience 21 (8.75,27),total score 68 (38,87)) (Z=-2.511,-2.033,-2.209,P<0.05).The self-administer medication experience,cognitive,capability and total scores increased significantly in intervention group after intervention(Z=-4.525,-4.610,-3.806,-4.718,all P< 0.01),while only the cognitive level increased slightly in control group (18 (10,24) vs 13 (11,18),Z =-1.794,P=0.073).Conclusions Follow-up intervention based on WeChat platform can improve the stroke patients' self-administration medication capability,however,the long-term effects on cognitive level and further reform need to be strengthened.
