RESUMEN
Osteosarcoma (OS) has a high propensity for lung metastasis, which is the leading cause of OS-related death and treatment failure. Intercellular communication between OS cells and distant lung host cells is required for the successful lung metastasis of OS cells to the lung. Before OS cells infiltrate the lung, in situ OS cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) that act as mediators of cell-to-cell communication. In recent years, EVs have been confirmed to act as bridges and key drivers between in situ tumors and metastatic lesions by regulating the formation of a pre-metastatic niche (PMN), defined as a microenvironment suitable for disseminated tumor cell engraftment and colonization, in distant target organs. This review summarizes the current knowledge about the underlying mechanisms of PMN formation induced by OS-derived EVs and the potential roles of EVs as targets or drug carriers in regulating PMN formation in the lung. We also provide an overview of their potential EV-based therapeutic strategies for hindering PMN formation in the context of OS lung metastasis.

Background Sleep is a crucial physiological activity for the human body, and research has shown that air pollution can affect sleep quality. However, the association between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure, neurotoxic compounds in air pollutants, and sleep quality remains uncertain. Objective To evaluate the association of PAHs exposure with sleep quality, and to provide evidence for improving sleep quality. Methods This study used a cross-sectional design. We selected 632 workers from a coking plant of a large state-owned enterprise as the exposure group, and 477 workers from the energy and power plant of the same enterprise as the control group. All workers worked in three shifts. A questionnaire survey was conducted to collect basic information including gender, years of service, age, educational level, smoking, alcohol consumption, consumption of fried foods, cooking frequency, types of cooking fuels. Worker's post-shift morning midstream urine was sampled to determine the concentrations of eight PAHs metabolites (OH-PAHs) using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Worker's sleep quality was assessed using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). A higher PSQI score indicated a lower sleep quality. Associations of urinary OH-PAHs levels with sleep quality in the workers were analyzed using linear regression, Bayesian kernel-machine regression (BKMR), and quantile g-computation. Results The median (P25, P75) concentration of total OH-PAHs in the exposure group [88.84 (46.27, 151.96) μg·L−1] was higher than that in the control group [54.33 (24.86, 97.97) μg·L−1]. Additionally, the PSQI score (\begin{document}$ \overline{x}\pm {s} $\end{document}) in the exposure group (5.16±3.84) was higher than that in the control group (4.60±3.17). The multiple linear regression revealed that an increase in the sum of the concentrations of eight OH-PAHs after natural logarithmic transformation (lnΣ8OH-PAHs) was associated with an increase of 0.3646 (95%CI: 0.1337, 0.5955) in PSQI score, and an increase in lnΣlow-ring OH-PAHs was associated with an increase of 0.2954 (95%CI: 0.0941, 0.4967) in PSQI score. The BKMR analysis demonstrated that PSQI score was gradually increased as the increasing of lnΣ8OH-PAHs concentration. The quantile g-computation analysis indicated that a quantile increase in lnΣ8OH-PAHs concentration was associated with an increase of 0.4062% (95%CI: 0.1176%, 0.6949%) in PSQI score. Conclusion Compared to the controls, the coking workers show a higher concentration of urinary OH-PAHs and report worse sleep quality. The concentration of OH-PAHs is significantly negatively associated with sleep quality.

RESUMEN
Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the level of medical equipment alarm fatigue and its influencing factors among clinical nurses. Methods: PubMed, Embase, CNKI, and Wanfang databases were systematically searched to identify articles on alarm fatigue of clinical nurses published before September 25, 2022. According to the evaluation criteria of prevalence studies recommended by JBI Evidence-Based Health Care Center, the quality of the literature meeting the inclusion criteria was evaluated, and Stata MP17 software was used for meta-analysis. Results: A total of 14 cross-sectional studies were included, with a total sample of 2,848 nurses. The results showed that the alarm fatigue score of clinical nurses was 21.76 (95% CI [20.27, 23.25]). Subgroup analysis showed that the nurses who worked night shift and had lower professional title had higher alarm fatigue. Conclusion: The alarm fatigue of clinical nurses was at a moderate level. To reduce the alarm fatigue level of clinical nurses, nursing managers should strengthen the alarm safety awareness of nurses, rationally arrange nurse manpower, carry out training to actively improve the alarm management ability of nurses, and optimize the alarm level and frequency of alarm equipment.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of tessellation fundus (TF) among Tianjin Medical University students with different refractive statuses.Methods:A cross-sectional study. From September to December 2019, 346 students from Tianjin Medical University were randomly selected and underwent slit-lamp examination, non-cycloplegic auto-refraction, subjective refraction, best-corrected visual acuity, ocular biometric measurement, and non-dilation fundus photography. The differences in the prevalence of TF in basic characteristics and ocular biometric parameters were compared. Based on the equivalent spherical (SE), refractive status was divided into the non-myopia group (SE>-0.50 D) and the myopia group (SE≤-0.50 D). The myopia group was further divided into mild myopia group (-3.00 D<SE≤-0.50 D), moderate myopia group (-6.00 D<SE≤-3.00 D), and high myopia group (SE≤-6.00 D). According to the axis length (AL), the subjects were divided into AL<24 mm group, 24-26 mm group, and >26 mm group. The logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors affecting TF. Trend tests were performed for each risk factor and TF.Results:Of the 346 subjects, 324 (93.6%, 324/346) were myopia, of whom 73 (21.1%, 73/346), 167 (48.3%, 167/346), and 84 (24.3%, 84/346) were mild myopia, moderate myopia, and high myopia, respectively; 22 (6.4%, 22/346) were non-myopia. There were 294 (85.0%, 294/346) students with TF in the macula, including 9 (40.91%, 9/22), 58 (79.45%, 58/73), 145 (86.83%, 145/167), and 82 (97.62%, 82/84) in non-myopia, low myopia, moderate myopia, and high myopia group, respectively; 52 (15.0%, 52/346) students were without TF in the macula. There were statistically significant gender differences ( χ2=4.47), SE ( t=6.29), AL ( t=-8.29), anterior chamber depth ( Z=-2.62), lens thickness ( Z=-2.23), and average corneal radius ( Z=-3.58) between students with and without TF in the macula ( P<0.05). Spherical equivalent and axial length were independent risk factors for TF and its severity ( P≤0.001). With an increasing degree of myopia, and increasing axial length, the risk of TF increased ( P for trend<0.001). Conclusions:The prevalence of TF is 85.0% among Tianjin Medical University students. TF is detected in the fundus of no myopia, mild myopia, moderate myopia and high myopia. The degree of myopia is higher, the AL is longer, the possibility of TF is higher.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of patients′ satisfaction with nursing humanistic care, and to provide reference for improving the quality of such care provided by hospitals.Methods:From July to August 2022, outpatients and inpatients in 30 provinces were selected by multi-stage stratified sampling as the survey objects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on an online platform, using the general information questionnaire and Chinese version of methodist health care system nurse caring instrument revised by the research group. The latter instrument consists of 12 dimensions. namely care coordination, competence, teaching/learning, emotional support, respect for individuality, physical comfort, availability, helping/trusting relationship, patient/family engagement, physical environment, spiritual environment and outcomes. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data collected by the questionnaires, and independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the influencing factors of patient satisfaction. Results:A total of 107 hospitals were selected for questionnaire survey, including 86 tertiary hospitals and 21 secondary hospitals, and 29 108 valid questionnaires were recovered. The patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scored (5.40±0.86); the top three dimensions were competence (5.50±0.89), emotional support (5.47±0.88) and helping/trusting relationship (5.46±0.86); the lowest scoring dimensions were teaching/learning (5.38±1.01), spiritual environment (5.36±1.04) and patient/family engagement (5.11±1.28). Differences with gender, age, marital status, child status, educational level, occupation, place of residence, economic region, per capita monthly income of the family, type of medical insurance, medical department visited and surgery or not presented significant differences on the patient satisfaction with nursing humanistic care scores ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The satisfaction of patients with hospital′s nursing humanistic care in China was at the middle to upper level. In the future, health education for patients should be strengthened, and a mode of family-engaged nursing humanistic care should be constructed in line with the Chinese cultural background. In the process of nursing services, the particularity of patient groups should be considered to better meet their needs.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the potential categories of prostate cancer patients′ participation in shared decision making, and analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of different categories of prostate cancer patients′ participation, so as to provide theoretical support for improving prostate cancer patients′ participation in shared decision making.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. A total of 292 patients with a first diagnosis of prostate cancer without metastasis from three tertiary grade A hospitals in Zhengzhou were selected from October 2019 to October 2020 (Henan Provincial People′s Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine). The general data questionnaire, the Decisional Engagement Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Disease Uncertainty Scale were used. Latent class analysis was used to classify prostate cancer patients according to shared decision making participation, and Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the potential category.Results:The total scores of the Decisional Engagement Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Disease Uncertainty Scale in prostate cancer patients were (67.28 ± 20.77), (62.34 ± 15.39), (95.06 ± 8.05) points, respectively. The shared decision making participation of prostate cancer patients was divided into three potential categories: high participation group 76.4%(223/292), moderate participation group 12.7%(37/292), and low participation group 11.0%(32/292). Taking high participation group as reference, age( OR=1.088, 95% CI 1.161-1.231, P<0.05) and illness uncertainty( OR=1.480, 95% CI 1.414-1.919, P<0.05) were the risk factors for the low participation group; perceived social support was the protective factor ( OR=0.857, 95% CI 0.775-0.946, P<0.05). Illness uncertainty was the risk factor( OR=1.525, 95% CI 1.316-1.767, P<0.05), and perceived social support was the protective factor ( OR=0.829, 95% CI 0.838-0.949, P<0.05) for the moderate participation group. Conclusions:There were obvious classification characteristics of shared decision making participation for prostate cancer patients. Age, perceived social support and illness uncertainty were the influencing factors of it. Interventions should be taken according to the characteristics of each category, to improve the level of shared decision making of prostate cancer patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of repeated low-level red light (RLRL) therapy on controlling the progression of myopia in children.Methods:Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrial.gov and the CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database, and Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (www.chictr.org.cn) were searched from their establishment to September 2022 to obtain the randomized controlled trial (RCT) about RLRL controlling myopia progression in children.Grey literature was also searched.Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed according to the PICOS principle.Two researchers screened the literature independently, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias in the included studies using the Cochrane collaboration tool for assessing risk of bias.The data were imported into RevMan 5.4 software for meta-analysis.Mean and standard deviation of data were used to obtain mean differences and 95% confidence intervals of included studies.Changes in spherical equivalent (SE) and axial length (AL) were compared between before and after the intervention in RLRL and single-vision spectacle (experimental group) and single-vision spectacle (control group). The GRADE system was used to grade the quality of evidence for the outcome indicators.Results:A total of 157 studies were obtained.After the screening, 7 RCT studies including 1 038 study subjects met the inclusion criteria.Meta-analysis results showed that retarded SE progression was retarded and AL elongation was reduced significantly after different follow-up durations (1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months) in experimental group compared with control group.As the follow-up duration extended from 1 month to 24 months, the retard of SE progression increased from 0.14 to 0.93 D, and the reduction of AL increased from 0.07 to 0.48 mm.Both 635 and 650 nm red light significantly retarded SE progression and reduced AL elongation.The two outcome indicators, SE change and AL change were moderate-strength evidence by GRADE.Conclusions:The current moderate-strength evidence shows that RLRL can better retard myopia progression in children than single-vision spectacle glasses.

RESUMEN
【Objective】 To explore the changes of laboratory parameters and safety of nusinersen in the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). 【Methods】 Retrospective analysis was made on the six SMA patients treated with nusinersen in the Department of Neurology at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from December 2021 to December 2022. We summarized the patients’ clinical data, including genetic diagnosis results, disease classification, and clinical manifestations. Intrathecal injection of 5 mL/12 mg of nusinersen administered on the 1st, 14th, 28th, and 63rd days, followed by maintenance treatment every 4 months. After each administration, we compared and evaluated the patients’ cerebrospinal fluid, blood routine, liver function, kidney function, and coagulation function with baseline values. We regularly followed up the patients and recorded adverse reactions after administration to evaluate medication safety. 【Results】 A total of six patients were diagnosed with SMA, including four cases of SMA3 type and two cases of SMA4 type. The deletion of exon 7 of the survival motor neuron gene 1 (SMN1) in patients led to changes in motor neuron, most of which were caused by limb weakness; in severe cases, the patients were unable to stand. The baseline abnormal test indicators of patients included the increase of cerebrospinal fluid lactate dehydrogenase (CSF-LDH), the increase of creatine kinase (CK), and the decrease of creatinine (Cr). After four times of treatment, the patients’ CSF-WBC, CSF-Glu, CSF-Pro, CSF-LDH, WBC, PLT, RBC, ALT, AST, GGT, BUN, uric acid (UA), INR, aPTT, and D-dimer had no significant difference from the baseline (P>0 05). The patients had no other significant adverse reactions except headaches, dizziness, and back pain after puncture. 【Conclusion】 Nusinersen has good safety on SMA patients.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND@#Pancreatic β-cells elevate insulin production and secretion through a compensatory mechanism to override insulin resistance under metabolic stress conditions. Deficits in β-cell compensatory capacity result in hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the mechanism in the regulation of β-cell compensative capacity remains elusive. Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) is critical for pancreatic islets' homeostasis under physiological conditions, but its role in β-cell compensatory response to insulin resistance in obesity is unclear.@*METHODS@#In this study, using obese ( ob/ob ) mice with an absence of NF-Y subunit A (NF-YA) in β-cells ( ob , Nf-ya βKO) as well as rat insulinoma cell line (INS1)-based models, we determined whether NF-Y-mediated apoptosis makes an essential contribution to β-cell compensation upon metabolic stress.@*RESULTS@#Obese animals had markedly augmented NF-Y expression in pancreatic islets. Deletion of β-cell Nf-ya in obese mice worsened glucose intolerance and resulted in β-cell dysfunction, which was attributable to augmented β-cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, primary pancreatic islets from Nf-ya βKO mice were sensitive to palmitate-induced β-cell apoptosis due to mitochondrial impairment and the attenuated antioxidant response, which resulted in the aggravation of phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and cleaved caspase-3. These detrimental effects were completely relieved by ROS scavenger. Ultimately, forced overexpression of NF-Y in INS1 β-cell line could rescue palmitate-induced β-cell apoptosis, dysfunction, and mitochondrial impairment.@*CONCLUSION@#Pancreatic NF-Y might be an essential regulator of β-cell compensation under metabolic stress.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of type 2 diabetes patients with mild cognitive impairment by Logistic regression and decision tree analysis, so as to provide reference for the prevention of these patients.Methods:The cross sectional investigation and convenience sampling method was used for the observational study, patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized in the Endocrinology Department of the Drum Tower Hospital Affiliated of Nanjing University Medical School from April 2019 to August 2022 were selected as the objects, they were divided into the cognitive normal group and the mild cognitive impairment group, single factor analysis and Lasso analysis were used to screen variables. Logistic regression and decision tree analysis of diabetes with mild cognitive impairment were established and evaluated respectively.Results:Logistic regression analysis and decision tree analysis both showed that age, years of education, and insulin sensitivity index were effective early warning indicators of mild cognitive impairment with type 2 diabetes ( Z = - 9.39, 12.21, - 4.62, all P<0.05), and the decision tree model analysis showed that the number of years of education had the highest correlation with mild cognitive impairment. The different influencing factors of the two models were peripheral neuropathy, abnormal bone metabolism, and lower limb macroangiopathy. The specificity (62.7%) of the Logistic regression model was lower than that of the decision tree model (81.6%), and the sensitivity (77.3%) was higher than that of the decision tree model (54.9%). The AUC of the logistic regression model was 0.763 (95% CI 0.737-0.790), and the AUC of the decision tree model was 0.743 (95% CI 0.715-0.771). There was no difference in the predictive performance of the two models ( Z = 1.05, P = 0.295). Conclusions:The prediction ability of Logistic regression analysis model is similar to that of decision tree model. The Logistic regression analysis model can be used to screen out meaningful main effect early warning indicators, and further analysis of the correlation between indicators and research outcomes, as well as the interaction between various research factors, using a decision tree model, providing a reference for the prevention and control of diabetes patients with mild cognitive impairment.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the correlation between diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)and the tumor markers in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods:A total of 956 patients with T2DM aged 40 to 70 years were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2020. There were 347 patients suffered from DPN and 609 patients were not. The differences of serum tumor markers between the two groups were analyzed. We explored the influencing factors independently related to DPN, determined the cutoff points of the tumor markers affecting DPN, and investigated the influencing factors of this tumor marker.Results:The levels of serum carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), carbohydrate antigen(CA)125, and CA211 were significantly higher in T2DM patients with DPN than those without DPN(all P<0.05). CEA, CA211, age, HbA 1C, and diabetic duration were independent risk factors of DPN. The 2 h postprandial C-peptide was the independent protective factor of the DPN. We found the cutoff points of serum CEA and CA211 when the DPN happened were 2.915 ng/mL and 2.115 ng/mL. When the CEA and CA211 levels were above the cutoff points, the incidence risk of DPN was 1.803(95% CI 1.160-2.802)and 1.741(95% CI 1.150-2.635)times respectively, compared to below cutoff values. Conclusion:Serum CEA, CA125, and CA211 levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients with DPN than those without DPN. CEA and CA211 were independent risk factors of DPN and could potentially serve as markers for screening diabetic microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the anti-aging effects of berberine hydrochloride and underlying mechanism.Methods:Twelve 4-week-old C57BL6/J mice were divided into aging group (fed with normal chaw), aging+ BBR intervention group(fed with normal chaw containing 1 g/kg berberine hydrochloride). At the age of 64 weeks, all the experimental mice were executed. The liver tissues were made into paraffin sections for HE staining to observe the morphological and structural integrity of liver parenchymal cells for pathological evaluation. Immunofluorescence was used to detect p16 protein expression levels in liver. The expression levels of malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) were detected by colorimetry. The expression levels of interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in liver tissues and IL-8 in serum were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) technique. The p16, p21, nuclear factor erythroid-2 related factor 2(Nrf2), nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB), phospho(p-)NF-κB, inhibitory κB(IκB)α, p-IκBα, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) protein expression levels in liver were detected by Western blotting. The same indices were tested in the 16-week-old mice as the young control group.Results:Compared with the young control group, the liver tissue in the aging control group exhibited morphological aging and antioxidant capacity were reduced( P<0.01), and inflammatory factors were increased( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the aging group, the liver tissues in the aging+ BBR intervention group were still maintain regular arrangement of hepatocytes, the p16 and p21 protein expression levels were significantly increased( P<0.05 or P<0.01), the antioxidant capacity were increased( P<0.05 or P<0.01), the level of inflammatory factors were decresed( P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway and Nrf2 pathway were inhibited( P<0.001). Conclusion:Berberine hydrochloride improves the aging morphology of the liver, potentially by suppressing the p38 MAPK/NF-κB pathway to reduce inflammation levels and inhibiting the Nrf2 pathway to ameliorate oxidative stress.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical manifestations and characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADR) caused by cefotaxime sodium in Shandong province, and to explore the effects of skin test before medication of cefotaxime sodium on serious ADR, so as to provide reference for safe drug use in clinic. METHODS The relevant data of cefotaxime sodium-induced ADR reported by Shandong Province ADR Monitoring Center during December 2019 to December 2021 were collected from National ADR Monitoring System. The ADR classification, age, gender, ADR occurrence time, route of administration, history of allergy, primary diseases, ADR systems/organs involved, clinical manifestations, outcome, skin test or not before medication were statistically analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1 057 ADR reports caused by cefotaxime sodium were included. Among them, there were 867 patients (82.02%) with general ADR and 190 patients (17.98%) with serious ADR. The majority were <11 years old (40.30%). The main route of administration was intravenous drip (96.69%). A total of 1 033 patients (97.73%) developed ADR 30 min to 24 h after medication. A total of 814 patients (77.01%) had no history of allergy. The primary diseases were respiratory system infection (56.58%). Main systems/organs involved in ADR were skin and its appendants, digestive system and respiratory system, and its clinical manifestations were rash, pruritus, nausea, vomiting, chest tightness, etc. After withdrawal or symptomatic treatment, 1 050 patients (99.34%) were cured or improved. Before the use of cefotaxime sodium, 850 patients underwent skin test (151 patients occurred serious ADR); there was no statistical significance in the incidence of serious renzhen202102@163.com ADR, compared with the incidence of serious ADR in 207 patients without skin test (39 patients occurred serious ADR)(P=0.718). CONCLUSIONS ADR caused by cefotaxime sodium is mainly seen in patients <11 years old, mostly occurring 30 min to 24 h after intravenous drip; skin test before medication of cefotaxime sodium cannot reduce the risk of serious ADR. Before using cefotaxime sodium in clinical practice, patients should be asked about their allergy and medication history in detail. During use, it is important to focus on the patient’s condition within 24 h after medication to prevent serious ADR and ensure the safety of clinical medication.
