RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of anti-angiogenic drug Sitravatinib combined with poly(adenosine diphosphate[ADP]-ribose)polymerase inhibitor(PARPi)Niraparib on mucosal melanoma cell lines and its possible mechanism.Methods The CCK8 assay was used to detect the maximal half inhibitory concentration(IC50)of Sitravatinib and Niraparib targeting at mucosal melanoma(MM)cell lines.CompuSyn was used to detect the Combination Index(CI)in different concentrations of the two drugs.Flow cytometry was used to detect the effect of drugs on cell apoptosis.Colony formation assay was used to detect the effect of drugs on cell proliferation.Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions and RT-qPCR was used to detect mRNA expression.Results CI values was respectively 0.19 and 0.15 for Sitravatinib(2 μmol/L)in combination with Niraparib(20 μmol/L)in a human vaginal maligant melanoma cell line(HMVII)and a metastasis inguinal lymph node of vulvar malignant melanoma cell line(GAK).Compared with the control group and single-drug groups,the cell proliferation of the combination group was significantly reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001).The cell apoptosis rate was signifi-cantly increased(P<0.01 or P<0.001).The protein and mRNA expression of apoptosis-related biomarkers signifi-cantly increased(P<0.001);In addition,the protein and mRNA expression of cell autophagy biomarkers signifi-cantly increased(P<0.01 or P<0.001).The protein expression of DNA damage marker significantly increased.Moreover,compared with the control group,The expression of radiation sensitive protein 51(RAD51)recombinase in the Sitravatinib single-drug group and combination group significantly reduced.As the dose of Sitravatinib gradu-ally increased up to 2 μmol/L,the protein and mRNA expression of RAD51 both significantly reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01),the mRNA expression of BRCA1 and BRCA2 also significantly reduced(P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001).Conclusions Sitravatinib combined with Niraparib inhibits the proliferation of mucosal melanoma cells,induces cell apoptosis and promotes autophagy.The mechanism is potentially related to the inhibition of ho-mology-dependent recombination repairs(HRR).
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for clinically safe drug use by mining oxaliplatin-related adverse drug events (ADE) of the nervous system. METHODS Oxaliplatin-related neurologic ADE data reported by the FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS) between January 1st, 2004 and December 31st, 2022 were collected. The reporting odds ratio and proportional reporting ratio were used for data mining. The data were classified statistically by using systematic organ classification, high-level group term (HLGT) and preferred term (PT) in the MedDRA (version 26.0). RESULTS A total of 7 266 cases of oxaliplatin- related ADE, which were classified as various neurological, were retrieved, and 100 PT were identified. Of these, fifty-seven PT were unspecified adverse reaction signals in the manual. Among these reports, males (46.85%) were more than females (42.98%), the age of patients was 45-<75 years (65.22%), the number of reports was highest in Italy (16.32%), and the severe type was hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization (38.16%). The top 5 PT reports in the list of case number were peripheral neuropathy, paresthesia, neurotoxicity, loss of consciousness and dysarthria. The top 5 PT reports in the list of signal intensities were cold- induced paresthesia, neuromuscular rigidity, acute polyneuropathy, neuronal neuropathy, axonal and demyelinating polyneuropathy. A total of 13 HLGT were involved, with neurological diseases (not classified separately) having the highest number of signals (29). CONCLUSIONS When using oxaliplatin in clinical practice, it is not only necessary to monitor the high incidence of acute and chronic peripheral neuropathy, but also to pay attention to the patient’s consciousness state and neurological symptoms. We should pay attention to the rare types of adverse reactions, such as guillain-barre syndrome, Lhermitte sign, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and hyperammoniacal encephalopathy, so as to ensure the safety of medication.

RESUMEN
Objective: To assess the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of high-dose dual therapy compared with bismuth-containing quadruple therapy for treating Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection in servicemen patients. Methods: A total of 160 H. pylori-infected, treatment-naive servicemen, including 74 men and 86 women, aged from 20 years to 74 years, with a mean (SD) age of 43 (13) years, tested in the First Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from March 2022 to May 2022 were enrolled in this open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups: the 14-day high-dose dual therapy group and the bismuth-containing quadruple therapy group. Eradication rates, adverse events, patient compliance, and drug costs were compared between the two groups. The t-test was used for continuous variables, and the Chi-square test for categorical variables. Results: No significant difference in H. pylori eradication rates were found between high-dose dual therapy and bismuth-containing quadruple therapy by ITT, mITT and PP analysis[ITT:90.0% (95%CI 81.2%-95.6%) vs. 87.5% (95%CI 78.2%-93.8%), χ2=0.25, P=0.617;mITT:93.5% (95%CI 85.5%-97.9%) vs. 93.3% (95%CI 85.1%-97.8%), χ2<0.01, P=1.000; PP: 93.5% (95%CI 85.5%-97.9%) vs. 94.5% (95%CI 86.6%-98.5%), χ2<0.01, P=1.000 ]. The dual therapy group exhibited significantly less overall side effects compared with the quadruple therapy group [21.8% (17/78) vs. 38.5% (30/78), χ2=5.15,P=0.023]. There were no significant differences in the compliance rates between the two groups [98.7%(77/78) vs. 94.9%(74/78), χ2=0.83,P=0.363]. The cost of medications in the dual therapy was 32.0% lower compared with that in the quadruple therapy (472.10 RMB vs. 693.94 RMB). Conclusions: The dual regimen has a favorable effect on the eradication of H. pylori infection in servicemen patients. Based on the ITT analysis, the eradication rate of the dual regimen is grade B (90%, good). Additionally, it exhibited a lower incidence of adverse events, better compliance and significantly reduced cost. The dual regimen is expected to be a new choice for the first-line treatment of H. pylori infection in servicemen but needs further evaluation.

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of S100A7 inducing the migration and invasion in cervical cancers. Methods: Tissue samples of 5 cases of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and 3 cases of adenocarcinoma were collected from May 2007 to December 2007 in the Department of Gynecology of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expression of S100A7 in cervical carcinoma tissues. S100A7-overexpressing HeLa and C33A cells were established with lentiviral systems as the experimental group. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to observe the cell morphology. Transwell assay was taken to detect the effect of S100A7-overexpression on the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to examine the mRNA expressions of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin and fibronectin. The expression of extracellular S100A7 in conditioned medium of cervical cancer cell was detected by western blot. Conditioned medium was added into Transwell lower compartment to detect cell motility. Exosomes were isolated and extracted from the culture supernatant of cervical cancer cell, the expressions of S100A7, CD81 and TSG101 were detected by western blot. Transwell assay was taken to detect the effect of exosomes on the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. Results: S100A7 expression was positively expressed in cervical squamous carcinoma and negative expression in adenocarcinoma. Stable S100A7-overexpressing HeLa and C33A cells were successfully constructed. C33A cells in the experimental group were spindle shaped while those in the control group tended to be polygonal epithelioid cells. The number of S100A7-overexpressed HeLa cells passing through the Transwell membrane assay was increased significantly in migration and invasion assay (152.00±39.22 vs 105.13±15.75, P<0.05; 115.38±34.57 vs 79.50±13.68, P<0.05). RT-qPCR indicated that the mRNA expressions of E-cadherin in S100A7-overexpressed HeLa and C33A cells decreased (P<0.05) while the mRNA expressions of N-cadherin and fibronectin in HeLa cells and fibronectin in C33A cells increased (P<0.05). Western blot showed that extracellular S100A7 was detected in culture supernatant of cervical cancer cells. HeLa cells of the experimental group passing through transwell membrane in migration and invasion assays were increased significantly (192.60±24.41 vs 98.80±47.24, P<0.05; 105.40±27.38 vs 84.50±13.51, P<0.05) when the conditional medium was added into the lower compartment of Transwell. Exosomes from C33A cell culture supernatant were extracted successfully, and S100A7 expression was positive. The number of transmembrane C33A cells incubated with exosomes extracted from cells of the experimental group was increased significantly (251.00±49.82 vs 143.00±30.85, P<0.05; 524.60±52.74 vs 389.00±63.23, P<0.05). Conclusion: S100A7 may promote the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells by epithelial-mesenchymal transition and exosome secretion.

Objective:To explore the current status of quality of pediatric nurses ′ leader-member exchange, recovery experience, thriving at work, as well as to explore the correlation between leader-member exchange, recovery experience, and thriving at work. Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 312 pediatric nurses from four tertiary level A hospitals in Qingdao from September to November 2021 as the study population. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Leader-Member Exchange Scale, the Recovery Experience Scale, and the Thriving at work Scale. Descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling were conducted on the data to analyze the mediating effect of recovery experience between leader-member exchange and thriving at work, and Bootstrap method was applied to validate the mediating effect.Results:The pediatric nurses ′ leader-member exchange score was (3.94 ± 0.90) points, recovery experience score was (3.47 ± 0.76) points, and thriving at work score was (3.71 ± 0.75) points. Leader-member exchange was positively correlated with recovery experience and thriving at work ( r=0.486, 0.575, both P<0.01); recovery experience was positively correlated with thriving at work ( r=0.711, P<0.01); the test of mediating effect showed that recovery experience partially mediated the effect between leader-member exchange and thriving at work, intermediary effect accounted for 66.9% of the total effect. Conclusions:Pediatric nurses have moderate levels of leader-member exchange, recovery experience, thriving at work. Leader-member exchange can affect pediatric nurses ′ thriving at work both directly and indirectly through the recovery experience. Nursing managers should strengthen the management of relationships with nurses, form good psychological and emotional bonds, and conduct recovery experience training to improve nurses ′ thriving at work, and improve the quality of care.

RESUMEN
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a highly heterogeneous mental disorder, and its complex etiology and unclear mechanism are great obstacles to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Studies have shown that abnormal functions of the visual cortex have been reported in MDD patients, and the actions of several antidepressants coincide with improvements in the structure and synaptic functions of the visual cortex. In this review, we critically evaluate current evidence showing the involvement of the malfunctioning visual cortex in the pathophysiology and therapeutic process of depression. In addition, we discuss the molecular mechanisms of visual cortex dysfunction that may underlie the pathogenesis of MDD. Although the precise roles of visual cortex abnormalities in MDD remain uncertain, this undervalued brain region may become a novel area for the treatment of depressed patients.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of nursing guided by self-efficacy theory on postpartum breastfeeding of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 140 patients with gestational diabetes mellitus in Qingdao Women and Children ′s Hospital were selected as study subjects by convenient sampling method. They were divided into two groups according to the time of diagnosis. Seventy patients recruited from August to September 2019 were named as the control group, while those 70 patients from May to June 2020 were set as the intervention group. The control group took routine care and the intervention group received breastfeeding intervention based on self-efficacy theory. The rate of delayed onset of lactogenesisⅡ(DOLⅡ), breastfeeding knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding rate and breastfeeding self-efficacy in different time were compared. Results:The rate of DOLⅡ in the intervention group was 11.43% (8/70), which was lower than 25.71% (18/70) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.72, P<0.05). The score of breastfeeding knowledge in the intervention group at postpartum day 3 was 16.0 (15.0, 17.0) , which was higher than that in the control group 14.0(13.0, 16.0), the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.55, P<0.05). The rates of exclusive breastfeeding at postpartum day 3, month 1 and month 3 was 78.57% (55/70), 68.57% (48/70), 61.43% (43/70) in the intervention group and 61.43% (43/70), 45.71% (32/70), 37.14% (26/70) in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.90, 6.60, 8.26, all P<0.05). The total scores of breastfeeding self-efficacy before intervention, 3 days, 1 month and 3 months postpartum were (48.34 ± 5.37), (50.00 ± 6.06), (52.54 ± 5.41), (52.92 ± 5.62) points in the control group and (48.96 ± 4.30), (53.32 ± 5.94), (56.91 ± 5.03), (59.11 ± 4.70) points in the intervention group. The total score of breastfeeding self-efficacy of patients in the two groups was analyzed by repeated measures of variance, and the differences in time effect, between-group effect and interaction effect were statistically significant ( Ftime=81.61, Fbetween-group=31.31, Finteraction=10.23, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Breastfeeding nursing intervention based on self-efficacy theory can improve the knowledge level of breastfeeding in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, reduce the rate of DOLⅡ, enhance the sense of self-efficacy of breastfeeding and promote exclusive breastfeeding.
RESUMEN
Objective:To build a predictive model for symptomatic radiation pneumonitis(RP) using the pretreatment CT radiomics features, clinical and dosimetric data of lung cancer patients by using machine learning method.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 103 lung cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from November 2018 to April 2020 was performed. Total normal lung tissues were segmented as an interested volume in pretreatment CT images, and then 250 radiomics features were extracted. The correlations of RP and clinical or dosimetric features were firstly investigated with univariate analysis. Then all clinical data, dosimetric data and CT radiomics features were collected and considered as predictors for modeling of RP grade ≥ 2. Features were selected through LASSO machine learning method, and the predictive model was built. Finally, nomogram for risk of RP were obtained according to the selected features.Results:The result of univariate analysis showed that symptomatic RP was significantly correlated with lung dosimetric parameters including mean lung dose (MLD), V20 Gy and V30 Gy( t=2.20, 2.34 and 2.93, P<0.05). Four features, including lung dose volume percentage V30 Gyand three radiomics features, entropy feature of GLCM, mean and median feature of wavelet histogram were selected among all clinical, dosimetric features and radiomics features. AUC of the predicted model obtained from selected features reached 0.757. For convenient clinical use, the nomogram were obtained, and then personalized RP risk prediction and early intervention could be performed according to this nomogram. Conclusions:Pretreatment CT radiomics and dosimetric features can be used in predicting symptomatic RP, which will be useful for advanced intervention treatment.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different production processes on sensitization responses to human diploid cell rabies vaccines.Methods:This study randomly collected 360 serum samples in clinical trials of four rabies vaccines with different production processes. Total IgE levels at different time points were detected by ELISA. SPSS19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:Total IgE test results showed that the seropositive rate was 20% (6/30) for all four vaccines. The lowest mean value of total IgE was 9 IU/ml and the highest was 210 IU/ml. Repeated measures analysis of variance showed that there was no significant difference in total IgE levels at different sampling time points ( P=0.284), and the total IgE level in people injected with multistep concentrated human diploid cell rabies vaccine was significantly below that in people immunized with Vero cell rabies vaccine ( P=0.024). Conclusions:Increasing the immune dosage of human rabies vaccine could not result in a rise in total IgE. Human diploid cell rabies vaccines had good safety as the production process could remove most of allergenic impurities.
RESUMEN
Objective: To understand the survival status and its influencing factors of occupational pneumoconiosis patients in Shizuishan City, and to analyze the disease burden of occupational pneumoconiosis and its trend, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating comprehensive prevention and treatment measures of occupational pneumoconiosis. Methods: A retrospective survey was conducted during July to December 2020 to explore the survival status of occupational pneumoconiosis patients who had been reported from 1963 to 2020 in Shizuishan City. The Kaplan-Meier method and Life-table method were used for survival analysis, and Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of survival time. The disability adjusted life years (DALY) was applied to analyze the disease burden of occupational pneumoconiosis and its temporal trend. Results: From 1963 to 2020, a total of 3263 cases of occupational pneumoconiosis were reported in Shizuishan City, of which 1467 died, so that the fatality rate was 44.96%. The median survival time was 26.71 years, average age of death was (70.55±10.92) years old. There were significant differences in the survival rates of occupational pneumoconiosis patients among different types, diagnosis age, exposure time, industry, initial diagnosis stage and whether upgraded (P<0.05) . As the survival time increased, the survival rate of patients decreased gradually. When the survival time was ≥50 years, the cumulative survival rate of patients was 4.20%. Cox regression analysis suggested that the type of pneumoconiosis, industry, diagnosis age, exposure time, initial diagnosis stage and whether upgraded were the influencing factors for the survival time of patients with occupational pneumoconiosis (P<0.05) . The total DALY attributable to occupational pneumoconiosis from 1963 to 2020 in Shizuishan City was 48026.65 person years, of which the years of life lost (YLL) was 15155.39 person years, and the average YLL was 10.33 years/person, and the years lost due to disability (YLD) was 32871.26 person years, and the average YLD was 10.07 years/person. The DALY attributed to coal worker's pneumoconiosis and silicosis were 39408.51 person years and 6565.02 person years, respectively, and they accounted for 82.06% and 13.67% of the total disease burden in Shizuishan City, respectively. The DALY caused by occupational pneumoconiosis in the age group of 40-49 years old and the first diagnosis of stage I occupational pneumoconiosis were higher, which were 20899.71 and 36231.97 person years, respectively. The average YLL and average YLD showed a volatility downtrend over time. Conclusion: The disease burden of occupational pneumoconiosis cannot be ignored in Shizuishan City, and timely targeted measures should be taken for key populations and key industries. It is recommended that life-cycle health management and hierarchical medical should be taken to improve the life quality of patients and prolong their lifes.

The continuing discoveries of novel classes of RNA modifications in various organisms have raised the need for improving sensitive, convenient, and reliable methods for quantifying RNA modifications. In particular, a subset of small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), are modified at their 3'-terminal nucleotides via 2'-O-methylation. However, quantifying the levels of these small RNAs is difficult because 2'-O-methylation at the RNA 3'-terminus inhibits the activity of polyadenylate polymerase and T4 RNA ligase. These two enzymes are indispensable for RNA labeling or ligation in conventional miRNA quantification assays. In this study, we profiled 3'-terminal 2'-O-methyl plant miRNAs in the livers of rice-fed mice by oxidative deep sequencing and detected increasing amounts of plant miRNAs with prolonged oxidation treatment. We further compared the efficiency of stem-loop and poly(A)-tailed RT-qPCR in quantifying plant miRNAs in animal tissues and identified stem-loop RT-qPCR as the only suitable approach. Likewise, stem-loop RT-qPCR was superior to poly(A)-tailed RT-qPCR in quantifying 3'-terminal 2'-O-methyl piRNAs in human seminal plasma. In summary, this study established a standard procedure for quantifying the levels of 3'-terminal 2'-O-methyl miRNAs in plants and piRNAs. Accurate measurement of the 3'-terminal 2'-O-methylation of small RNAs has profound implications for understanding their pathophysiologic roles in biological systems.

Two cardenolide glycosides, corotoxigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] (1) and coroglaucigenin 3-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranoside] (2), were isolated from the seed fairs of Asclepias curassavica. The structures of 1-2 were determined based on the combination of the analysis of their MS, NMR spectroscopic data and acid hydrolysis. The inhibitory effects of compounds 1 and 2 on human colorectal carcinoma cells (HCT116), non-small cell lung carcinoma cells (A549) and hepatic cancer cells (SMMC-7721) were evaluated. The results showed that both compounds 1 and 2 significantly inhibited the viability, proliferation, and migration of A549, HCT116 and SMMC-7721 cells, suggesting that compounds 1 and 2 can be applied in the treatment of lung, colon and liver cancers in clinical practice. This study may not only provide a scientific basis for clarifying the active ingredients in A. curassavica, but also help to understand its antitumor activity, which can promote the application of A. curassavica in clinical treatment of various cancers.

METHODS@#From January 2005 to December 2013, 83 patients with refractory/recurrent CD20@*RESULTS@#All the patient achieved complete response. The median follow.up time was 39 months. Both the two groups collected peripheral blood stem cells successfully, and had no difference in hematopoietic reconstitution time. Three patients in treatment group and six patients in control group relapsed and the three year overall survival and EFS in treatment group was significantly higher than that in control group, that is(93.0% vs 73.1%, P=0.037) and (89.5% vs 65.4%, P=0.034), respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that: compared with the treatment group in which using R in the whole courses(before and after transplantation, and collection of stem cells) was superior to the control group in both OS and EFS, with the OS 97% vs 87.5% (P>0.05) and EFS 97% vs 76.2% (P=0.05) respectively. While stratified by the different courses of rituximab, the OS was 88.9% (1-2 courses, 9 cases), 93.1% (3-4 courses, 29 cases), 94.7%(more than 5 courses,19 cases), and EFS was 77.8%, 89.7% and 94.7%, respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#For the patients with refractory/recurrent CD20
