    Objective To observe the protective effect of Ghrelin on high glucose-induced hepatocellular injury and preliminarily explore its mechanism. Methods A high glucose-induced hepatocellular injury model was established and Ghrelin10-7 mmol / L was used for intervention. The experiment were randomly divided into blank control group Ghrelin + blank control group high glucose group and Ghrelin + high glucose group. The cell proliferation rate and expression levels of alanine aminotransferaseALT), malondialdehydeMDA and superoxide dismutaseSOD were detected. The mRNA expression levels of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinaseCaspase-1), interleukin-18IL-18 and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) were determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and the expression of gasdermin DGSDMD protein was detected by immunofluorescence technique. Results Ghrelin could decrease the content of ALT and MDA increas the SOD content and significantly reduce the expression levels of pyroptosis-related factors Caspase-1 IL-18 IL-1β mRNA and GSDMD protein. Conclusion Ghrelin has a protective effect on high glucose-induced hepatocellular injury and one of its mechanisms may be to relieve oxidative stress and inhibit Caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis.

    Objective To analyze the expression levels of RIP140 and LCOR in cytoplasm and nucleus in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesionHSIL in order to find new biomarkers for the identification of cervical intraepithelial neoplasiaCIN and CIN . Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of RIP140 and LCOR in cytoplasm and nucleus in 45 cases of CIN Ⅱ, 32 cases of CIN Ⅲ, 51 cases of CIN and CIN combined morphology. Results The expressions of RIP140 in cytoplasm and nucleus of CIN were higher than those of CIN Ⅱ, with statistical significanceP<0.05. There was no statistically significant difference in the expression of LCOR in cytoplasm between CIN and CIN Ⅲ(P>0.05), but the expression of LCOR in nucleus of CIN was higher than that of CIN Ⅲ, with statistical significanceP<0.05. RIP140 was highly expressed in the cytoplasm of the complex morphologic samples and the difference was statistically significant compared with CIN Ⅱ(χ2=4.868 P=0.027. Conclusion The high expression of RIP140 in the nucleus has an auxiliary effect in distinguishing CIN from CIN Ⅲ, and its high expression in the cytoplasm suggests that CIN may have potential coexistence with high-grade squamous intraepithelial neoplasia.

    Objective Propensity score matchingPSM was used to evaluate the effect of postoperative radiotherapy in patients with stage A/N2 non-small cell lung carcinomaNSCLC. Methods A total of 1 832 patients with stage A/N2 NSCLC undergoing surgical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy were collected from the SEER database. Baseline characteristics of the two groups were compared by χ2  test overall survivalOS and lung cancer-specific survivalLCSS of the two groups were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curve and prognostic factors were analyzed by COX regression model. Results Among the 1 832 patients 906 patients received postoperative radiotherapyincluded in the postoperative radiotherapy group and 926 patients did not receive postoperative radiotherapyincluded in the control group. There was no statistical significance in OS and LCSS between the two groups after PSMP>0.05. Univariate COX regression analysis showed that age<65 years old female clinical stage -Ⅱ, tumor diameter3 cm were protective factors for survival and prognosisHR<1 P<0.05. Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that age<65 years old number of lymph node dissection 4 could better predict OS and LCSSHR<1,P<0.05. In the postoperative radiotherapy subgroup patients with squamous cell carcinoma and age <65 years had worse LCSS. Conclusion The addition of postoperative radiotherapy did not improve the prognosis of stageA/N2 NSCLC patients treated with surgical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy.

Methods A search was conducted in the Core collection of the Web of Science database using the term "Ferroptosis" and the index date range of "2012-01-01" to "2021-12-31". The literature type was set to "article" and the collected data were subjected to scientometric analysis. ResultsA total of 2 254 literatures related to ferroptosis were retrieved and the number of published papers showed an increasing trend year by year. The country with the largest number of published papers was China and the institution with the largest number of published papers was Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The institutional temporal co-occurrence network showed that although Chinese institutions published more papers their research started late. The main research directions of ferroptosis were biochemistry and molecular biology. The cluster with the most co-occurrence keywords was the treatment and prognosis of ferroptosis-related diseases. The cited outburst keywords showed that apoptosis and oxidative stress were the research hotspots in the first 5 years while diseases and p53 were the research hotspots in the last 5 years. The top three ferroptosis-related diseases were breast cancer lung cancer and liver cancer. Conclusion Ferroptosis is currently a hot topic of research and China is actively engaged in the research field of ferroptosis. With the passage of time the research focus has gradually shifted from basic experiments on the mechanism of ferroptosis to clinical research on the treatment and prognosis of ferroptosis-related diseases.

    Pathogenic biology is an important basic course of nursing specialty. Most of the studies on implementing curriculum ideological and political education for this course focus on cultivating the consciousness of rule of law scientific spirit national confidence and patriotism of nursing students but lack of attention on the improvement of medical humanistic realm of nursing students. This study mainly discusses the significance and implementation path of implementing curriculum ideological and political education in the teaching of pathogenic biology and improving the medical humanistic realm of nursing students.
