ABSTRACT
Abnormal FGFR signaling has been found in a variety of cancers. The abnormal FGFR signaling is involved in several processes of tumorigenesis which include cell survival, proliferation, inflammation, migration, angiogenesis, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and drug resistance. Therefore, FGFR is a very promising target for the treatment of tumors. More and more FGFR inhibitors have been developed for preclinical and clinical trials, and some FGFR inhibitors have been used in clinical applications. However, the problems such as acquired resistance and systemic toxicity have hindered the application of FGFR inhibitors. This paper reviews the clinical application of common FGFR inhibitors and summarizes the problems and solutions in their application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the mediating effect of perceived organizational support on the relationship between personality traits and perceived self-efficacy of male nurses.Methods:A total of 766 male nurses from 20 level-A general hospitals in Shandong province were selected by convenience sampling method in December 2020. The general status questionnaire, the simplified version of Big Five Personality Inventory, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale and the General Self-efficacy Scale were used to investigate them.Results:The total score and average item score of 766 male nurses' sense of organizational support was 44.05±9.31, 3.38±0.72, and the total score and average item score of general self-efficacy was 26.19±5.65, 2.62±0.57. In 766 male nurses, perceived organizational support had a partial mediating effect on neuroticism and openness, with effect values of 21.71% and 10.19%, respectively. In addition, perceived organizational support had a complete mediating effect on conscientiousness and self-efficacy.Conclusions:The organizational support and self-efficacy of 766 male nurses were above average, and organizational support played a mediating role in the relationship between neuroticism, openness, conscientiousness and general self-efficacy.Nursing managers should give more organizational support to male nurses to change the influence of neuroticism, responsibility, agreeableness and open personality traits on self-efficacy, so as to improve the level of self-efficacy of male nurses.

Objective@#To investigate the status of knowledge about acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) among college freshmen in Jiangsu Province, and to analyze the influences of AIDS-related knowledge on their sexual attitudes and behaviors.@*Methods@#A total of 8 633 freshmen from 20 colleges and universities in Jiangsu Province were enrolled by multi-stage stratified sampling. The questionnaire for young students about the eight items of AIDS basic knowledge were used to investigate the AIDS-related knowledge, sexual attitudes and behaviors. Multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the AIDS-related knowledge and to adjust the influences of AIDS-related knowledge on sexual attitudes and behaviors.@*Results@#The overall qualified rate of AIDS-related knowledge among college freshmen in Jiangsu Province was 87.6% and the qualified rate of 8 items were between 59.8% and 98.3%. The types of schools, nationality, mother s education level and whether only child or not were identified as independent factors for qualified rate of AIDS-related knowledge(P<0.05). The awareness of AIDS-related knowledge had significant impacts on the sexual attitudes and behaviors of college freshmen. Students with insufficient knowledge were more likely to approve premarital sexual behaviors(OR=1.31, 95%CI=1.11-1.63), willing to use condoms consistently(OR=1.67, 95%CI=1.43-1.92) and to accept the HIV tests(OR=4.54, 95%CI=3.13-6.52). Students with unqualified knowledge were more likely to have sexual behavior(OR=1.89, 95%CI=1.42-2.49), while those with sexual experiences and insufficient AIDS knowledge were more likely to use condoms consistently(OR=2.13, 95%CI=1.22-3.78).@*Conclusion@#The education on AIDS-related knowledge for teenagers was helpful to construct correct sexual concepts and develop healthy sexual behaviors. However, the AIDS-related knowledge of college freshmen in Jiangsu Province is not sufficient and needed to improve.

ABSTRACT
@#ObjectiveTo investigate the language cortex organization characteristics of native Chinese. Methods20 patients who underwent language mapping via intraoperative direct cortical electrical stimulation (ioDCES) under awake anaesthesia for glioma in dominant hemisphere were analyzed retrospectively. Results16 patients were identified at least one language site, 3 patients located in the frontal and 1 patient in the temporal lobe. The language sites mostly located in the perisylvian region. The frontal language sites conformed to traditional Broca's areas, but the superior temporal gyrus contained much more language sites than the middle temporal gyrus.ConclusionHigh individual variability in language organization indicates a need for revision of the classical model of language localization. Because of the samples were too small, our current dates can't fully reflect language cortex organization characteristics of native Chinese.
ABSTRACT
Objective; To investigate the immunolocalization and significance of Notch-2 expression in the process of dental pulp repair after injury. Methods: An experimental animal model of injury-induced pulpitis was established to observe the time-sequenced alteration of the expression of Notch-2. Results: Three days post-operation, weak positive staining of Notch-2 was observed in pulp mesenchyme cells and pulp fibroblasts but not in vascular endothelial cells or odontoblasts. Five days post-operation, strong Notch-2 reactivity was found in subodontoblasts as well as newly bom capillary endothelial cells. Seven days after cavity preparation, Notch-2 staining became weaker in pulp mesenchyme cells and capillary endothelial cells, but stronger positive staining was found in odontoblasts. Two weeks post-operation, weak Notch-2 staining was seen in pulp mesenchyme cells and subodontoblastic layer cells and was absent from odontoblasts. Notch-2 immunoreactivity was completely absent in intact rat dental pulp. Conclusion: Notch-2 is strikingly up-regulated in dental pulp mesenchyme cells in the early days after dental injury and then shows progressively up-regulation in odontoblasts. Properly regulated activation of Notch signaling pathway is important for controlling cell fate and maintaining the correct balance among cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis during dental pulp repair process.
