Background: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of the most common primary biliary malignant tumors with a high mortality. MIR22HG has been reported to act as a tumor-suppressor gene in several types of cancers. However, the role and molecular regulatory mechanism of MIR22HG in CCA still remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role and underlying mechanism of MIR22HG in CCA. Methods:The expression of MIR22HG was detected by RT-qPCR assayin CCA tissues and cells. CCK-8, colony formation and transwell assays were performed to study the biological function of MIR22HG in CCA. Western blot and immunofluorescence assays were performed to detect the expression ofWnt/β-catenin signaling pathway markers. In vivo assays were conducted to explore the biological role of MIR22HG. Results:We first found that MIR22HG expression was significantly downregulated in CCA tissues and cell lines. Moreover, MIR22HG expression was related to TNM stage and bore prognostic significance in CCA patients. Function experiments demonstrated that overexpression of MIR22HG inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion in CCA, whereas knockdown of MIR22HG caused the opposite result. It was found that MIR22HG negatively regulated mRNA and the expression levels of proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway (β-catenin, cyclin D1 and c-myc).The effect of MIR22HG overexpression on CCA progression could be partly rescued by activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MIR22HG suppressed CCA tumorigenesis in vivo. Conclusions:In summary, the results of the present study show that MIR22HG repressed cell proliferation, migration and invasion in CCA by negatively regulating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. MIR22HG may be a novel target for diagnosis and therapy in CCA.
Objectives: To investigate the correlation between psychological resilience, social support, and coping styles in patients with complicated hepatolithiasis.Methods: The objective sampling method was used in this study to select a total of 156 patients with complicated hepatolithiasis in a Third-class Grade A hospital in Changsha, Hunan Province from January to December 2019. Self-designed general data questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (SCSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire investigation. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between psychological resilience, social support, and coping styles in patients with complicated hepatolithiasis.Results: Both the total score of psychological resilience (45.79 ± 16.28) and social support (35.71 ± 9.92) of patients with complicated hepatolithiasis were significantly lower than those of the domestic norm. The total score of psychological resilience of patients with complicated hepatolithiasis was positively correlated with the total score of social support (r = 0.570, p < 0.01). The total score of psychological resilience and its three dimensions were positively correlated with the positive coping (r = 0.682, 0.673, 0.663, 0.535, p < 0.01)and negatively correlated with negative coping (r = −0.240, −0.207, −0.221, −0.286, p < 0.01).Conclusions: This study indicated that strengthening social support and improving the coping style of patients with complicated hepatolithiasis are helpful to improve their psychological resilience, which provided theory basis and reference for further intervention measures to improve social support system and coping styles.
This study was to explore the effect of a continuous nursing model based on the mobile Internet in the home nursing of patients with T-tube after hepatolithiasis surgery. A continuous nursing system based on the mobile Internet was constructed, and 94 discharged patients with T-tube after biliary tract surgery were selected as the study subjects. The differences of complication rate, referral rate, nursing satisfaction, self-care ability, and quality of life score through the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) after routine health education nursing (control group, n = 47 ) and continuous nursing mode based on the Internet (observation group, n = 47 ) were explored. The results showed that the success rate of the continuous nursing system based on mobile Internet in processing user requests was 96.2%. After nursing, the total complication rates of the control group and the observation group were 34.0% and 6.4%, the total satisfaction rates were 42.6% and 87.2%, and the referral rates were 23.4% and 6.4%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). After nursing, the scores of self-care ability and SF-36 quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ). In summary, the continuous nursing platform based on mobile Internet technology can meet the needs of users, and the nursing mode can significantly improve the home self-care ability of discharged patients with T-tube after surgery and improve the nursing effect, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of patients.
