Methods: The Link Depreciation-Discrimination Perception Scale was used to investigate the status quo of the associated stigma of the family members of 169 schizophrenia patients diagnosed in 4 hospitals in a certain province. The results of the investigation were analyzed and summarized. Results: The detection rate of stigma associated with the family members of schizophrenia patients was 72.78%, with a score of 28.41 ± 3.92 points. The main influencing factors were the family member’s education level, the patient’s illness duration, the family member’s occupation, and the family-patient relationship. Conclusion: The detection rate of stigma associated with schizophrenia was relatively high. This requires increased attention and appropriate nursing intervention.展开更多

This study on associative stigma in family members of psychotic patients was part of a larger research program on the burden of the family, using "Interview for the Burden of the Family" and the chapters stigma, treatment and attribution from the "Family interview Schedule". The respondents were relatives, one per patient, either partner or parent. The patients had been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder. All contacts with patients and relatives were in Dutch. Relatives were deemed suitable to participate in this research if they saw the patient at least once a week. Recruitment took place in a standardized way: after obtaining the patient's consent, the relatives were approached to participate. The results were analyzed using SPSS Version 18.0. RESULTS: The prevalence of associative stigma in this sample is 86%. Feelings of depression in the majority of family members are prominent. Twenty-one point three percent experienced guilt more or less frequent, while shame was less pronounced. Also, 18.6% of allrespondents indicated that they tried to hide the illness of their family member for others regularly or more. Three six point seven percent really kept secret about it in certain circumstances and 29.3% made efforts to explain what the situation or psychiatric condition of their family member really is like. Factors with marked significance towards higher associative stigma are a worsened relationship between the patient and the family member, conduct problems to family members, the patients' residence in a residential care setting, and hereditary attributional factors like genetic hereditability and character. The level of associative stigma has significantly been predicted by the burden of aggressive disruptions to family housemates of the psychotic patient.CONCLUSION: Family members of psychotic patients in Flanders experience higher associative stigma compared to previous international research. Disruptive behavior by the patient towards in-housing family members is the most accurate predictor of higher associative stigma.展开更多

Student's t-tests were used to analyze relationships between clinicopathologic parameters and KIF1 B expression, the Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze survival outcomes, and the log-rank test was used to compare survival differences between groups.RESULTS: Mean protein and m RNA levels of KIF1 B were similar between HCC and PC tissues. However, HCC tissues with vein invasions had significantly lower KIF1 B protein levels compared to those without vein invasions(2.30 ± 0.82 relative units vs 2.77 ± 0.84 relative units, P < 0.05). KIF1 B protein levels in HCC tissues from patients with recurrence during the followup period were significantly lower than those without recurrence(2.31 ± 0.92 relative units vs 2.80 ± 0.80 relative units, P < 0.05). However, KIF1 B protein and m RNA expression in HCC patients was not associated with other clinicopathologic parameters. Ratios of KIF1 B m RNA expression in HCC tissues to those in PC tissues were correlated with overall survival(13.5 mo vs 20.0 mo, P < 0.05) and disease-free survival(11.5 mo vs 19.5 mo, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Downregulation of KIF1 B in HCC tissues is associated with poor prognosis; additional clinical studies are needed to confirm whether KIF1 B can serve as a prognostic marker.展开更多

The significant test P value was less than 0.05 and the difference was statistically significant. 3) The plasma levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in cancer patients under stress were significantly higher than those in cancer patients without stress (P Conclusion: After psychological Intervention of cancer patients and their families, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and doctor-patient relationship were all improved.展开更多

文摘Background:Ovarian cancer(OC)is a leading cause of gynecological cancer-linked deaths worldwide.Exosomal miR-1825 and its target gene C-type lectin domain family 5 member A(CLEC5A)are associated with tumorigenesis in cancers that was further probed.Methods:Exosomal miR-1825 expression in exosomes and its impact on overall survival(OS)prediction were determined using Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)and The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)data.Target genes of miR-1825 were searched in five prediction databases and prognostically significant differentially expressed genes were identified.Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses were carried out.The ability of CLEC5A to predict OS was evaluated using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves.The CLEC5A expression pattern in OC was validated using immunohistochemistry.The CIBERSORT algorithm was used to compare the immune cell landscape,and the results were validated in a GEO cohort.Finally,the predicted half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50)values for five commonly used chemotherapy agents were also compared.Results:MiR-1825 level was higher in exosomes derived from OC cells and served as a tumor suppressor.The CLEC5A gene was found to be a target of miR-1825,the upregulation of which was correlated with a poor prognosis.M2 macrophage infiltration was significantly enhanced in the CLEC5A high expression group,while T follicular helper cell infiltration was reduced in it.While the predicted IC50 for cisplatin and doxorubicin was higher in the CLEC5A high expression group,that of docetaxel,gemcitabine,and paclitaxel was lower.Conclusion:MiR-1825,a promising OC biomarker,may promote OC progression by increasing CLEC5A expression via exosome-mediated efflux from tumor cells.
文摘目的系统分析中国重症监护室(intensive care unit,ICU)转出患者家属迁移应激的影响因素,为减轻转出患者家属迁移应激水平提供循证依据。方法计算机检索中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普、中国生物医学文献数据库、Web of Science、PubMed、the Cochrane Library、Embase中有关ICU转出患者家属迁移应激影响因素的队列研究、病例对照研究、横断面研究等观察性研究,检索时限为建库至2023年10月。由2名研究者按照纳入及排除标准单独进行文献筛选、质量评价和资料提取。采用RevMan5.4软件对数据结果进行Meta分析。结果最终纳入15篇研究,总样本量2558,共提取12个影响因素。将15篇文献根据测量结局指标的工具分为正向计分组(得分越高,迁移应激水平越高,共9篇文献)、反向计分组(得分越高,迁移应激水平越低,共6篇文献)。分析每个组别时,仅对组内提及≥2次的影响因素进行Meta分析。Meta分析结果显示:正向计分组内,家属文化程度、家属性别、患者意识、ICU治疗时间、家属疾病不确定感是ICU转出患者家属迁移应激的影响因素(P<0.05);反向计分组内,家属文化程度、家属性别、患者年龄、ICU治疗时间是ICU转出患者家属迁移应激的影响因素(P<0.05)。敏感度分析结果显示各个因素的结果均较为稳定。结论家属文化程度、家属性别、患者年龄、ICU治疗时间、家属疾病不确定感是中国ICU转出患者家属迁移应激的影响因素,家属宗教信仰、患者意识对其影响还需进一步论证。
文摘目的探讨急诊重症监护室(emergency intensive care unit,EICU)住院患者家属创伤后成长的影响因素及其与社会支持水平的相关性。方法选择2020年6月—2023年6月南通大学附属医院EICU 80名住院患者的家属作为研究对象。采用创伤后成长评定量表以及社会支持评定量表评价EICU住院患者家属创伤后成长水平及社会支持水平。分析患者家属创伤后成长水平与社会支持水平的相关性,并对患者家属创伤后成长水平的影响因素进行单因素、多因素logistic回归分析。结果80名EICU住院患者家属创伤后成长水平评分为(60.53±13.02)分,其中得分最高维度为与他人关系,其次为个人力量。经单因素分析可见,患者家属不同性别、学历、与患者关系、急性生理学和慢性健康状况评价Ⅱ(acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ,APACHEⅡ)评分的创伤后成长水平评分比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。家属社会支持水平评分均低于国内常模(P<0.05)。经Pearson相关性分析,EICU住院患者家属创伤后成长水平与社会支持水平呈正相关(P<0.05)。经多因素分析可见,性别、学历、患者APACHEⅡ评分与社会支持水平是ICU住院患者家属创伤后成长的独立影响因素(P<0.05)。结论性别、学历、患者APACHEⅡ评分与社会支持水平是EICU住院患者家属创伤后成长的影响因素,临床应增强对患者家属关注度,积极鼓励家属缓解负面情绪,提升创伤后成长水平。
