RESUMO
Cancer is a severe threat to human life and health.The over-activation of oncogenes is the main reason for poor treatment and prognosis of cancer patients.Most of these over-activated oncogenes are protein tyrosine kinase(PTK).Among many PTKs,non-receptor tyrosine kinase(NRTK)is an important signaling molecule that regulates cell proliferation and migration as the primary driver of intracellular signaling pathway transduction.Targeting NRTK has become the focus and difficulty in developing anti-tumor drugs.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),with its characteristics of multi-channel,multi-link,multi-target,and low toxicity,plays a significant advantage in treating adjuvant tumors.So far,it has been found various traditional TCM monomers can inhibit NRTK from playing an anti-tumor role.This review summarized the part of Src,Jak,Abl,Fak families,the prominent members of NRTK in tumor progression,as well as the TCM monomers acting on these members.We aimed to provide a theoretical basis for the anti-tumor therapy targeting NRTK and a reference for the search for TCM monomer inhibitors of NRTK.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the different latent class and characteristics of the cognitive ability level of undergraduate nursing students in hospice care based on the individual-centered perspective,and analyze its influencing factors to provide the reference for the formulation of targeted nursing education.Methods Nursing students in a medical university in Yunnan Province were selected from March 2023 to June 2023.The general data questionnaire and hospice care knowledge questionnaire were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey.SPSS and Mplus were used for the data analysis.Results Three latent class of hospice care cognitive ability were identified,which were named as hospice care high cognitive ability group,general cognitive ability group,and low cognitive ability group,accounting for 28.74%,57.29%,and 13.97%,respectively;Nursing students'gender,nationality,place of residence,earning and practice experience of hospice care(whether they had the contact with end-stage cancer patients,whether they had received the hospice care related training),and whether they were willing to engage in the hospice care related work were the influencing factors of different potential categories of cognitive ability of hospice care among nursing students(P<0.05).Conclusion There are three latent class of hospice care cognitive ability of nursing students.Male minority nursing students who have not been exposed to end-stage cancer patients and have not received the hospice care-related training,are unwilling to engage in the hospice care-related work.Male ethnic minority nursing students residing in rural areas have the weaker cognitive levels of hospice care.Scholars in the future can formulate targeted training strategies according to different latent class of hospice care cognitive ability to improve nursing students'hospice care cognitive ability and reserve talents for hospice care teams.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the current situation of nurses'emergency response ability of public health emergencies and analyze its influencing factors in Yunnan province,so as to provide empirical basis for the construction of emergency response ability training system in the future.Methods A total of 4821 clinical nurses from 43 hospitals in Yunnan province were selected by convenience sampling.A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire,Nurses'Public Health Emergency response Capacity Scale and Nurses'Emergency attitude scale.The influencing factors were analyzed by stepwise multiple linear regression.Results The total score of public health emergency response ability of clinical nurses in Yunnan Province was(70.35±14.08),and the total score of public health emergency response attitude was(42.26±6.14).Gender,department,hospital level,working years,whether to participate in public health emergency training,whether to experience rescue activities in public health emergencies,and attitude towards public health emergencies were the influencing factors of nurses'public health emergency response ability(P<0.05),which explained 29.0%of the total variation.Conclusions The ability of clinical nurses to respond to public health emergencies in Yunnan Province is generally above the medium level,but there is still a significant shortage in emergency knowledge.Targeted training is needed.Nursing management should build targeted layered training programs combined with influencing factors to enhance nurses'ability to respond to public health emergencies.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the frailty of patients with long-term maintenance dialysis(MD)and its influencing factors,and to explore the correlation of different dialysis modalities with the re-infection of novel coronavirus infection(COVID-19)and frailty syndrome.Methods Patients with regular dialysis in Nephrology Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from February to June 2023 were selected.A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect clinical data of the patients,including dialysis modality(i.e.maintenance hemodialysis,abbreviated as hemodialysis,and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis,abbreviated as peritoneal dialysis),and whether with re-infection of COVID-19.Patients were divided into 3 groups using Fried's frailty phenotype(FP):non-frailty group,pre-or-intermediate frailty group,and frailty syndrome group.The clinical characteristics of the FP were compared among the three groups.The correlation of frailty with clinical data,dialysis modality,re-infection of COVID-19 in each group was compared.Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing the development of frailty syndrome in patients.Results A total of 246 dialysis patients were included in this study,with 77(31.3%)in the non-frailty group,83(33.7%)in the pre-frailty group and 86(35.0%)in the frailty syndrome group.The frailty syndrome group showed characteristics of advanced age,high pre-dialysis creatinine level,low serum albumin level and combined pleural effusion(all P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of frailty between the hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis group(P = 0.960).COVID-19 re-positive patients had higher frailty score than non-re-positive patients.Multifactor logistic regression showed that age,COVID-19 re-infection of COVID-19,serum albumin,pre-dialysis creatinine,and pleural effusion were factors influencing the development of frailty syndrome in dialysis patients(P<0.05).Conclusion There is high incidence of frailty syndrome in dialysis patients,and there is no correlation of frailty with dialysis modality.High serum albumin level is a protective factor for the development of frailty syndrome in patients,whereas re-infection of COVID-19,advanced age,high pre-dialysis blood creatinine level and pleural effusion are risk factors for the development of frailty syndrome.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Hei Xiaoyaosan in regulating the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6 (Fas)/Fas ligand (FasL)/cysteine protease-8 (Caspase-8)/cysteine protease-3 (Caspase-3) signaling pathway to intervene in neuronal apoptosis and prevent Alzheimer's disease (AD). MethodNinety SPF-grade SD male rats of 4 months old were selected and randomly grouped as follows: 10 rats in the blank group, 10 rats in the sham group (bilateral hippocampus injected with 1 μL normal saline), and 70 rats in the modeling group [bilater hippocampus injected with 1 μL amyloid-beta protein 1-42 (Aβ1-42) solution for the modeling of AD]. Fifty successfully modeled rats were selected and randomly assigned into model, donepezil hydrochloride (0.45 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (15.30, 7.65, 3.82 g·kg-1) Hei Xiaoyaosan groups. Rats were administrated with corresponding agents by gavage once a day for 42 days. Terminal-deoxynucleoitidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) was employed to observe the apoptosis of neurons in the cortex and hippocampus, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) in the hippocampus. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was employed to determine the mRNA levels of Fas, FasL, and Fas-associated protein with death domain (Fadd). Western blot was used to determine the protein levels of Fas, FasL, Fadd, Caspase-3, cleved Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and cleved Caspase-8. ResultCompared with the blank group and sham group, the model group showed increased apoptosis rate in the cortex and hippocampus (P<0.01), elevated Bax level (P<0.01), lowered Bcl-2 level (P<0.01), up-regulated mRNA levels of Fas, FasL, and Fadd in the hippocampus (P<0.01), and up-regulated protein levels of Fas, FasL, Fadd, cleaved Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-8 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, donepezil hydrochloride and Hei Xiaoyaosan at high and medium doses decreased the apoptosis rate in the cortex and hippocampus (P<0.05, P<0.01), lowered the Bax level (P<0.01), elevated the Bcl-2 level (P<0.01), and down-regulated the mRNA levels of Fas, FasL, and Fadd and the protein levels of Fas, FasL, Fadd, cleaved Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-8 (P<0.05, P<0.01) in the hippocampus. Low-dose Hei Xiaoyaosan decreased the apoptosis rate in the cortex and hippocampus (P<0.05, P<0.01), lowered the Bcl-2 level (P<0.01), and down-regulated the mRNA levels of FasL and Fadd (P<0.05) and the protein levels of Fas, FasL, Fadd, cleaved Caspase-3, and cleaved Caspase-8 (P<0.05) in the hippocampus. ConclusionHei Xiaoyaosan can protect neurons in the cortex and hippocampus of AD rats by inhibiting the apoptosis mediated by the Fas/FasL/Caspase-8/Caspase-3 signaling pathway.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Hei Xiaoyaosan in modulating the synaptic plasticity in APP/PS1 mice by regulating the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)/protein kinase A (PKA)/N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) signaling pathway. MethodTwelve 4-month-old male C57BL/6J mice were selected as the blank control group, and 60 4-month-old male APP/PS1 double transgenic mice were randomized into model, KW-6002 (adenosine receptor antagonist, 3 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (22.10, 11.05, 5.53 g·kg-1, respectively) Hei Xiaoyaosan groups, with 12 mice in each group. Mice were administrated with corresponding drugs for 90 days. Transmission electron microscopy was employed to observe the synaptic ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons, and Golgi staining was used to observe the dendritic spine density of neurons in hippocampal CA1 region. Western blot was employed to measure the protein levels of cAMP, PKA, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors 1, 2A, and 2B (NR1, NR2A, and NR2B, respectively), postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), and synapsin 1 (SYN1). Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR) was performed to determine the mRNA levels of cAMP, PKA, and NR1. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the content of interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in the hippocampus. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed blurred boundaries between presynaptic membrane and postsynaptic membrane in hippocampal CA1 region, reduced and scattered synaptic vesicles, and decreased density of postsynaptic membrane, and irregular, disarranged, and loosened dendritic spines of neurons in hippocampal CA1 region (P<0.01). In addition, the model group presented down-regulated protein levels of cAMP, PKA, NR1, NR2A, NR2B, PSD95, and SYN1 and mRNA levels of cAMP, PKA, and NR1, elevated IL-12 level, and lowered IL-4 level in the hippocampus (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the drug intervention groups showed clear and intact boundaries between presynaptic membrane and postsynaptic membrane in hippocampal CA1 region, increased synaptic vesicles with dense arrangement, increased density of postsynaptic membrane, and improved morphology, arrangement, and density of neuronal dendritic spines (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, the drug interventions up-regulated the protein levels of cAMP, PKA, NR1, NR2A, NR2B, PSD95, and SYN1 (P<0.05,P<0.01) and mRNA levels of cAMP, PKA, and NR1 (P<0.01), lowered the IL-12 level (P<0.01), and elevated the IL-4 level (P<0.01) in the hippocampus. ConclusionHei Xiaoyaosan can improve the structure and morphology of hippocampal neurons in APP/PS1 mice by activating the cAMP/PKA/NMDAR signaling pathway and repairing synaptic plasticity.
RESUMO
ObjectiveTo investigate the role and mechanism of Hei Xiaoyaosan in intervening in oxidative stress in the rat model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) via modulating the rat sarcoma (RAS)/rapidly accelerating fibrosarcoma (RAF)/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. MethodOne hundred 4-month-old SPF-grade Wistar male rats were randomly grouped as follows: 10 in the blank group, 10 in the sham group (bilateral hippocampus injected with 1 μL normal saline), and 80 in the modeling group [bilateral hippocampus injected with 1 μL amyloid beta protein 1-42 (Aβ1-42) solution for the modeling of AD]. Fifty rats qualified for modeling were selected and randomized into the model, donepezil hydrochloride (0.5 mg·kg-1), and high-, medium-, and low-dose (15.30, 7.65, 3.82 g·kg-1, respectively) Hei Xiaoyaosan groups. The rats were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage once a day for 42 consecutive days. At the end of gavage, Morris water maze test was performed to examine the learning and memory abilities of the rats, and Nissl staining was used to observe the pathological changes of neurons in CA3 region of the hippocampus. The immunofluorescence assay was used to observe Aβ deposition and tau phosphorylation. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of RAS, RAF, phosphorylated (p)-RAF, MEK, p-MEK, ERK, and p-ERK in the hippocampal tissue. Biochemical methods were used to determine the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the hippocampal tissue. ResultCompared with the sham group, the model group showed prolonged escape latency (P<0.01), shortened swimming distance in the target quadrant (P<0.01), reduced and uneven stained Nissl bodies, enhanced fluorescence intensity of Aβ and p-tau (P<0.01), up-regulated protein levels of RAS, p-RAF, p-MEK, and p-ERK in the hippocampal tissue (P<0.01), increased ROS and MDA content (P<0.01), and decreased SOD activity (P<0.01) on day 5. Compared with the model group, donepezil hydrochloride and high-, medium-, and low-dose Hei Xiaoyaosan shortened the escape latency (P<0.01), increased the swimming distance in the target quadrant (P<0.01), improved the arrangement, morphology, and structures of neurons and the number and distribution of Nissl bodies, decreased the fluorescence intensity of Aβ and p-tau (P<0.01), up-regulated the protein levels of RAS, p-RAF, p-MEK, and p-ERK (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased the ROS and MDA content (P<0.01), and increased the SOD activity (P<0.01) on day 5. ConclusionHei Xiaoyaosan may ameliorate oxidative stress, reduce Aβ and p-tau levels, and inhibit hippocampal neuronal damage by regulating the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, thus improving learning and memory abilities.
RESUMO
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that predominantly affects the elderly. It belongs to the category of dementia in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with the onset and progression closely associated with the functions of the kidney, liver, and spleen. The classic TCM formula Hei Xiaoyaosan, which regulates the three Yin of liver, spleen, and kidney, shows broad prospects in treating neurodegenerative diseases. This article reviews the experimental studies reported in the past decade to summarize the mechanisms of Hei Xiaoyaosan and its active components in intervening in AD. Hei Xiaoyaosan can treat AD via multiple targets, levels, and aspects comprehensively. The clinical studies have demonstrated that Hei Xiaoyaosan alone or in combination with other therapies has a definite therapeutic effect on AD. Specifically, it can ameliorate the cognitive impairment, mitigate oxidative stress, and inhibit the overexpression of soluble apoptotic factors in AD patients. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of AD with Hei Xiaoyaosan and explore new research directions. Moreover, it gives new insights into the clinical application of Hei Xiaoyaosan and the development of products with both medicinal and edible values.
RESUMO
ABSTRACT Introduction: The objective of this study is to investigate the possible impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on clinical outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Patients with AF who underwent coronary computed tomography and catheter ablation were enrolled. The presence of stenotic severity and plaque, characteristics of coronary arteries, clinical data, and adverse outcomes of catheter ablation were analysed. Results: A total of 243 patients were enrolled, 100 (41%) patients with CAD. The CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke or transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and sex category) score of AF patients with CAD was significantly (P<0.001) higher than of those without CAD. Presence of stenotic artery and plaques increased significantly with increase of CHA2DS2-VASc score (P<0.05). There was no significant (P=0.342) difference in AF recurrence between patients with and without CAD (30% versus 24%). Age, AF type, duration of AF, heart failure, CHA2DS2-VASc score, left ventricular ejection fraction, and left atrial diameter were significantly (P<0.05) correlated with AF recurrence in univariant analysis. Multivariable analysis revealed that duration of AF (hazard ratio [HR] 1.769), heart failure (HR 1.821), and left atrial diameter (HR 1.487, P=0.022) remained significant independent predictors of AF recurrence. Patients with AF and concomitant CAD were significantly (P=0.030) associated with a worse outcome. Conclusion: CAD concomitant with AF may be associated with a worse clinical outcome even though CAD does not significantly affect the risk of AF recurrence after ablation therapy.

RESUMO
Cinnabaris is a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) commonly used for sedation and tranquilization in clinics, and its safety has always been a concern. This study intends to investigate the species and tissue distribution of mercury in rats after continuous administration of Cinnabaris. In the experiment, 30 rats were randomly divided into the control group(equivalent to 0.5% carboxy-methyl cellulose sodium), low-dose Cinnabaris group(0.2 g·kg~(-1)), high-dose Cinnabaris group(2 g·kg~(-1)), pseudogerm-free control group(equivalent to 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), and pseudogerm-free Cinnabaris group(2 g·kg~(-1)). They were orally administered for 30 consecutive days. Ultrasound-assisted acid extraction method combined with high performance liquid chromatography and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry(HPLC-ICP-MS) was adopted to determine inorganic mercury [Hg(Ⅱ)], methylmercury(MeHg), and ethylmercury(EtHg) in different tissue, plasma, urine, and feces of rats. The optimal detection conditions and extraction methods were optimized, and the linearity(R~2>0.999 3), precision(RSD<7.0%), and accuracy(spike recoveries ranged from 73.05% to 109.5%) of all the mercury species were satisfied, meeting the requirements of analysis. The results of mercury species detection showed that Hg(Ⅱ) was detected in all the tissue of the five experimental groups, and the main accumulating organs were the intestinal tract, stomach, and kidney. MeHg existed at a low concentration in most tissue, and EtHg was not detected in all groups. In addition, pathological examination results showed that hepatocyte vacuolar degeneration, loose cytoplasm, light staining, and mononuclear cell infiltration were observed in the high-dose Cinnabaris group, low-dose Cinnabaris group, and pseudogerm-free Cinnabaris group, with slightly milder lesions in the low-dose Cinnabaris group. Hydrous degeneration of renal tubular epithelium could be seen in the high-dose Cinnabaris group and pseudogerm-free Cinnabaris group, but there was no significant difference between the other groups and the control group. No abnormal changes were found in the brain tissue of rats in each group. This paper studied the different mercury species and tissue distribution in normal and pseudogerm-free rats after continuous administration of Cinnabaris for 30 days and clarified its effects on the tissue structure of the liver, kidney, and brain, which provided supporting evidence for the safety evaluation of Cinnabaris.

A total of 33 pesticides have been banned from Chinese medicinal materials and decoction pieces(plants) according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2020 edition). According to the chemical structures, they are mainly divided into seven categories: organophosphorus compounds, organochlorines, carbamates, amidines, sulfonylureas, phenylpyrazoles, and ethers. These banned pesticides exhibit neurotoxicity, reproductive toxicity, immune system toxicity, teratogenicity, carcinogenesis, and mutagenesis, seriously damaging human and animal health. They affect not only the quality and safety of traditional Chinese medicines and resulting products, but also their competitiveness in the international market. Due to the numerous varieties of traditional Chinese medicines and their complex substrates, it is necessary to establish a universal and highly sensitive method for pesticide residue detection. This review systematically summarized the residual status, toxicity, and analytical methods of banned pesticides in traditional Chinese medicines, and forecasted the prospects of different analytical techniques, so as to provide reference for further safety and risk assessment of banned pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicines, thus ensuring the safe production of traditional Chinese medicines.

Paclitaxel is the first-line chemotherapy drug for a variety of cancers. However, the paclitaxel resistance greatly reduced the efficacy in the later treatment stage, which seriously increased the mortality and recurrence rate of cancer and limited the clinical application of paclitaxel. At present, Chinese medicine compound prescription, proprietary Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine injection are widely used as the adjuvant chemotherapy drugs for the treatment of cancer in clinic. Chinese medicine has shown unique advantages in improving the efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and the prognosis of chemotherapy, and reducing the toxic and side effects. However, the specific mechanism and effective monomer composition of Chinese medicine for reversing the resistance of chemotherapy drugs are unclear, and the application of Chinese medicine in different types of cancer is also limited, which are worthy of further exploration. This review summarized the composition of Chinese medicine monomer with synergistic antitumor effect combined with paclitaxel in recent years. The specific mechanism and pharmacological activities of Chinese medicine monomer reversing paclitaxel resistance were classified. This review found that through acting on the membrane transport protein, Chinese medicine monomer promoted the accumulation of paclitaxel in tumor cells, inhibited the expressions of protein and metabolic enzyme related to multidrug resistance and the metabolism of paclitaxel, and regulated the levels of apoptosis genes and factors and apoptosis-related pathways to promote the inhibitory effect of paclitaxel on cell proliferation. Chinese medicine monomer also significantly improved paclitaxel chemotherapy sensitivity by regulating the expression levels of micro ribonucleic acid (microRNA) and long non-coding ribonucleic acid RNA (lncRNA), inhibiting the characteristics of tumor stem cells and tumor metabolic reprogramming, improving tumor microenvironment, and triggering tumor cell death autophagy and oxidative stress response. This review provides a theoretical basis for clarifying the specific anti-tumor mechanism of Chinese medicine monomer combined with paclitaxel, which is of great significance for the development of new Chinese medicine and the clinical research of the drugs combined with paclitaxel, and has certain value for the application of Chinese medicine combined with other chemotherapy drugs.
RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the effects of compound analgesia on ultra-pulsed fractional carbon dioxide laser (UFCL) treatment of post-burn hypertrophic s in children. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From April 2018 to March 2020, 169 pediatric patients with post-burn hypertrophic s admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University were randomly divided into general anesthesia alone group (39 cases, 19 males and 20 females, aged 35 (21, 48) months), general anesthesia+lidocaine group (41 cases, 23 males and 18 females, aged 42 (22, 68) months), general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group (41 cases, 25 males and 16 females, aged 38 (26, 52) months), and three-drug combination group with general anesthesia + lidocaine+ibuprofen suppository (48 cases, 25 males and 23 females, aged 42 (25, 60) months), and the pediatric patients in each group were treated with corresponding analgesic regimens when UFCL was used to treat s, and the pediatric patients were given comprehensive care throughout the treatment process. The pain degree of pediatric patients scar was evaluated by facial expression,legs,activity,cry,and consolability (FLACC) of children's pain behavior scale at 0 (immediately), 1, 2, and 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, respectively. At 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia of postoperative pain assessment, the self-made analgesia satisfaction questionnaire was used to evaluate the satisfaction for the analgesic effect of the pediatric patients or their families, and the satisfaction rate was calculated. Within 2 h after the first operation, the occurrences of adverse reactions of the pediatric patients, such as nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, etc, were observed and recorded. Before the first treatment and 1 month after the last treatment, the Vancouver scar scale (VSS) was used to evaluate the pediatric patients scar, and the difference value between the two was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with least significant difference test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, chi-square test and Fisher's exact probability test. Results: At 0 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the FLACC scores of pediatric patients in general anesthesia+lidocaine group, general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were significantly lower than those in general anesthesia alone group (P<0.01). The FLACC scores of the pediatric patients in anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were significantly lower than that in general anesthesia+lidocaine group (P<0.01), and the FLACC score of the pediatric patients in three-drug combination group was significantly lower than that in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group (P<0.01). At 1 and 2 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the FLACC scores of pediatric patients in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were both significantly lower than those in general anesthesia alone group and general anesthesia+lidocaine group (P<0.01), and the FLACC score of the pediatric patients in three-drug combination group was significantly lower than that in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group (P<0.01). At 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the FLACC scores of the pediatric patients in general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group and three-drug combination group were significantly lower than those in general anesthesia alone group and general anesthesia+lidocaine group (P<0.01). At 4 h after awakening from the first anesthesia, the satisfactions rate with the analgesic effect in the four groups of pediatric patients or their families were 79.49% (31/39), 85.37% (35/41), 87.80% (36/41), and 97.92% (47/48), respectively. The satisfaction rate of the pediatric patients in three-drug combination group was significantly higher than those in general anesthesia alone group, general anesthesia+lidocaine group, general anesthesia+ibuprofen suppository group. Within 2 h after the first operation, there was no significant difference in the overall comparison of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, headache, dizziness, and drowsiness of pediatric patients among the 4 groups (P>0.05). The VSS scores of pediatric patients before the first treatment, 1 month after the last treatment, and and the difference value between the two in the 4 groups were not significantly different (P>0.05). Conclusions: Three-drug combination for analgesia has a good effect in the treatment of hypertrophic scars after burn in pediatric patients with UFCL. Pediatric patients or their families are highly satisfied with the effect, and the treatment effect and incidence of adverse reactions are similar to other analgesic regimens, so it is recommended to be promoted in clinical practice.

They were divided into the control group (105 cases) and the experimental group (100 cases) according to whether they participated in the medical science competition. The control group learned the form and method of health education in clinical rotation according to the traditional practice teaching plan. The experimental group volunteered to participate in the medical science competition, which required the dissemination of health knowledge through various forms. Before and after the competition, the health education ability assessment scale was used for comparison.Results:Before the medical science competition, there was no significant difference in the total score of assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation and health education between the control group and the experimental group ( t values were 0.765 - 1.749, all P>0.05). After the medical science competition, the total scores of assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation and health education ability of nursing interns in the experimental group were (24.38 ± 4.72), (17.98 ± 3.98), (25.16 ± 5.36), (12.57 ± 2.96) and (80.09 ± 15.65) respectively, while those in the control group were (22.45 ± 6.29), (16.61 ± 4.77), (23.04 ± 6.55), (11.31 ± 3.46) and (73.41 ± 19.69).The differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were 2.226 - 2.795, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The medical science competition can improve the health education ability of assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation of nursing interns and contribute to "healthy China" .
RESUMO
Objective:To explore the potential targets and related mechanism involved in the paclitaxel resistance to ovarian cancer. Method:Ovarian cancer A2780 cells and A2780 paclitaxel-resistant cells (A2780/T) were treated by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 μmol·L<sup>-1</sup> paclitaxel (PTX) for 24 h or 48 h respectively <italic>in vitro</italic>. The proliferation rate of A2780 cells and A2780/T cells treated with paclitaxel was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) colorimetric method assay. A2780 and A2780/T cells were analyzed by LC-MS/MS Label-Free quantitative proteomics to identify and screen differentially expressed proteins in the two groups of cells. Gene ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were used to determine the potential biomarkers of paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer. Conventionally cultured A2780 cells were used as a control group, and A2780/T cells were treated with 0, 1, 4 μmol·L<sup>-1</sup> PTX. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot methods were used to detect and verify the mRNA and protein expression levels of potential target transforming growth factor-<italic>β</italic>-activated kinase 1 binding protein 1 (TAB1) and its downstream related molecules transforming growth factor-<italic>β</italic>-activated kinase (TAK1) and p38. Result:After PTX treatment for 24 h and 48 h, the cell viability of A2780 and A2780/T cells decreased. The inhibitory rate of PTX on A2780 cells was significantly higher than that of A2780/T cells. In A2780 cells, the IC<sub>50</sub> of PTX treatment for 48 h was 0.002 μmol·L<sup>-1</sup>, while in A2780/T cells, the IC<sub>50 </sub>of PTX was greater than the maximum concentration of 128 μmol·L<sup>-1</sup>, indicating that A2780/T cells were resistant to PTX compared with A2780 cells. 441 differentially expressed proteins and 421 special differentially expressed proteins between A2780/T and A2780 cells were screened by label-free quantitative proteomic analysis. GO function enrichment analysis showed that the binding proteins accounted for the majority (80%) among the differentially expressed proteins. According to the results of KEGG pathway analysis and expression site analysis, TAB1 might be a potential biomarker in paclitaxel-resistant ovarian cancer. Compared with A2780 cells, mRNA and protein expression levels of TAB1 in A2780/T cells were significantly reduced (<italic>P</italic><0.01). mRNA expression of TAK1 and p38 that interacted with TAB1 were also significantly reduced (<italic>P</italic><0.05, <italic>P</italic><0.01), while there was no significant change in protein expression. Conclusion:TAB1 may be a potential biomarker of paclitaxel resistance to ovarian cancer , and its mechanism may be related to the TAB1/TAK1/p38 MAPK pathway.
RESUMO
Objective@#To explore the relationship between daily physical activity and sleep quality among college students during COVID-19 epidemic, so as to provide scientific basis for improving physical health and sleep of college students.@*Methods@#A stratified random sampling method was used to select a total of 2 808 college students from two universities (one in each of sports and non sports categories) in Beijing, Tianjin, and Wuhan in March 2020. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale and the Bouchard Physical Activity Diary were used to collect sleep status and sleep duration (SD), sedentary behavior (SED), low intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The Mann Whitney U test or Kruskal Wallis test was used to analyze the variability of parameters among college students. Multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between physical activity and sleep quality.@*Results@#During the epidemic, male students had higher MVPA times(0.5 h) than female students(0 h) ( Z =-4.21, P <0.01); students aged 18 and younger had higher SED times(11.1 h) than students aged 19 to 21 and older(9.3,10.3 h) ( F =7.90, P <0.05). The SED was higher for students living in urban, combined urban rural areas(10.5,9.5 h) than for their rural counterparts(9.5 h) ( F =9.56, 10.73, P <0.01). Sport majors had higher LPA and MVPA times(3.9, 1.0 h) than non sports majors(3.0,0 h) ( Z =-2.99, -4.73, P <0.01), and lower SED and sleep times(8.3,9.8 h) than non sports majors(11.1,11.1 h) ( Z =-4.73, -2.42, P <0.01). The LPA time of students with general sleep quality and sleep disorder was lower than that of students with good sleep quality ( F =7.67, P <0.05), and SED time was higher than that of students with good sleep quality ( F =8.62, P <0.05). After controlling for gender, age, place of residence, and specialty, multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that LPA time deficit was a risk factor for sleep quality ( OR =0.84, 95% CI =0.71-0.99, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#During the COVID-19 epidemic period, college students generally suffer from excessive sedentary time and insufficient physical activity, which vary in sex, region and specialty. The overall sleep quality of students is not optimistic, and the lack of low intensity physical activity may increase the risk of sleep disorders.
