E-cadherin, an epithelial cell-specific cell adhesion molecule, has both promoting and suppressing effects on tumor invasion and metastasis. It is often downregulated during cancer progression through gene deletion/mutation, transcriptional repression, or epigenetic silencing. We describe a novel regulatory switch to induce stimulus-dependent downregulation of mRNA encoding E-cadherin (CDH1 mRNA) in KRAS-mutated cancer cells. The regulatory switch consists of ZEB1 and oncogenic K-Ras, does not target the promoter region of CDH1, and requires an external cue to temporally downregulate E-cadherin expression. Its repressive effect is maintained as long as the external stimulus continues and is attenuated with cessation of the stimulus. Contextual external cues that turn this regulatory switch on include activation of protein kinase C or fibroblast growth factor signaling. The mode of action is distinct from that of EPCAM repression by ZEB1, which does not require an external cue. Thus, KRAS-mutated cancer cells acquire a novel mode of regulating E-cadherin expression depending on ZEB1, which could contribute to phenotypic plasticity of cancer cells during malignant progression.
To determine whether oral potassium chloride (KCI) therapy with concomitant anticholinergic exposure among hospitalized patients is associated with an excess risk for upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).
A retrospective controlled study among hospitalized patients between January 2007 and April 2019 who were treated with oral KCI. Patients were divided into two groups with or without concomitant exposure to agents with anticholinergic activity. Outcome was defined as any UGIB.
The final sample included 13 728 subjects who received oral KCI treatment, of them 3542 (25.8%) had at least one documented overlap with an anticholinergic agent. Mean age was 67.6 (±17.2) and 6893 (50.2%) were females. Median KCI dose was 2.4 g (interquartile range [IQR] 1.2-5.4, n = 9416) with the majority (90.4%) being treated with the wax-matrix form (Slow-K). Twenty-six (0.2%) patients experienced an UGIB event. Univariate analysis demonstrated a significantly higher rate of UGIB among patients concomitantly treated with oral KCI and anticholinergics (0.3%) compared to those without anticholinergic exposure (0.1%, P = 0.018), with median 7 days (IQR 3-16.8) from first KCI dose to bleeding event. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that concomitant anticholinergic exposure (Odds Ratio 2.48, 95% Confidence Interval 1.11-6.51, P = 0.022) and anticoagulation treatment among patients with hemato-oncologic disease (OR 6.61, 95% CI 1.96-22.25, P = 0.002) were significantly associated with UGIB.
Hospitalized patients treated concomitantly with oral KCI and anticholinergic agents have significantly increased risk for UGIB.
Hospitalized patients treated concomitantly with oral KCI and anticholinergic agents have significantly increased risk for UGIB.Bereavement, the experience of losing a loved one, is one of the most catastrophic but inevitable events in life. It causes grief and intense depression-like sadness. Recent studies have revealed the effectiveness and proficiency of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) in emotional regulation among bereavement populations. MBCT improves the well-being of the bereaved by enhancing cognitive performances. Regarding the neural correlates of bereavement grief, previous studies focused on the alleviation of emotion-cognition interferences at specific brain regions. Here, we hypothesized that the bereavement grief fundamentally triggers global alterations in the resting-state brain networks and part of the internetwork connectivity could be reformed after MBCT intervention. We recruited 19 bereaved individuals who participated the 8-week MBCT program. We evaluated (a) the large-scale changes in brain connectivity affected by the MBCT program; as well as (b) the association between connectivity changes and self-rated questionnaire. First, after MBCT, the bereaved individuals showed the reduction of the internetwork connectivity in the salience, default-mode and fronto-parietal networks in the resting state but not under emotional arousal, implying the alleviated attention to spontaneous mind wandering after MBCT. Second, the alterations of functional connectivity between subcortical (e.g., caudate) and cortical networks (e.g., cingulo-opercular/sensorimotor) were associated with the changes of the mindfulness scale, the anxiety and the emotion regulation ability. In summary, MBCT could enhance spontaneous emotion regulation among the bereaved individuals through the internetwork reorganizations in the resting state.
Conceptual clarity for the term patient engagement is growing. However, there is variability in patient engagement in healthcare, which could be due to the absence of models to guide practice or a myriad of organisational, nurse and patient factors. The recently developed 'Interactive Care Model' provides guidance on how to genuinely promote individualised patient engagement. check details An understanding of how to action this model in nursing is required.
The aim of this scoping review was to examine actions in the published scientific literature that align with the Interactive Care Model, in the context of nursing care of hospitalised patients.
In 2018, searches of CINAHL, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE and PsycInfo were undertaken, for literature published between 2008 and 2018. This was followed by citation tracking.
Two researchers screened and selected studies using prespecified criteria. Data were charted into a pre-established tool and collated and summarised using numerical summaries and deductive content analpatient engagement interventions.
This review provides an overview of actions that promote patient engagement and could inform implementation of the Interactive Care Model and the design and testing of patient engagement interventions to support the model. There are opportunities to explore latter phases of the Interactive Care Model to foster patient engagement in self-management and to motivate patients' management of healthcare beyond hospitalisation. Further, there is a need to rigorously evaluate patient engagement interventions.
