RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Early postoperative activity, an important part of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in clinical practice, is considered to be a significant component of postoperative quality care. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of a standardized early activity program on ERAS in patients after surgery for pulmonary nodules. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with pulmonary nodules who underwent a single-port thoracoscopic segmental resection or a wedge resection of the lung were selected for the present study. These patients were divided into a control group (n= 50) and an intervention group (n= 50) by a digital random method. The patients in the control group received routine perioperative nursing intervention for thoracic surgery due to lung cancer, and those in the intervention group received an intervention using a standardized early activity program along with routine nursing care. The evaluation indexes in both groups included postoperative indwelling time of the closed chest drainage tube, the time to the first off-bed activity after surgery, the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications, the length of postoperative hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS: The postoperative indwelling time of the closed chest drainage tube and the time to the first off-bed activity in the intervention group were less than in the control group. The length of the postoperative hospital stay in the intervention group was shorter than in the control group, and the patient satisfaction in the intervention group was higher than in the control group. The difference for these evaluation indexes were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The number of cases of postoperative complications was four and eight in the intervention group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). CONCLUSION: A standardized early activity program is a safe and effective nursing measure for ERAS for patients after surgery for pulmonary nodules, which can promote earlier off-bed activity, shorten the postoperative indwelling time of the closed chest drainage tube, shorten the postoperative hospital stay, improve patient satisfaction, and promote rapid recovery.

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of muscone on the proliferation, migration and differentiation of human gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) and to explore the relevant mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed studies to determine the effects and mechanisms of muscone on GMSC proliferation, migration and differentiation. We conducted CCK-8, colony formation, transwell chamber, scratch wound, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and activity, and alizarin red and oil red O staining assays, as well as real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), to ascertain the effects of muscone on GMSC proliferation, migration and differentiation in vitro. The mechanism by which muscone influences the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of GMSCs was elucidated by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: We found that muscone significantly promoted GMSC proliferation, chemotaxis, wound healing and fat droplet formation and inhibited ALP activity and mineral deposition. Notably, we observed that the Wnt/ß-catenin pathway was closely related to the ability of muscone to inhibit the osteogenic differentiation and promote the adipogenic differentiation of GMSCs. The effect of muscone on the multidirectional differentiation capacity of GMSCs was significantly reversed by the agonist lithium chloride through the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. CONCLUSION: Muscone effectively increased the proliferation and migration, promoted the adipogenic differentiation and inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of GMSCs by inhibiting the Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway. These results may provide a theoretical basis for the application of GMSCs and muscone in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of osthole on periodontal remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in rats. METHODS: Seventy two 8-week-old male SD rats were randomly equally divided into 3 groups: two experimental groups of osthole with low (20 mg/kg) and high (40 mg/kg) concentration and the control group. Models of OTM were routinely established. Rats in the experimental groups were respectively given osthole by intragastric administration, while rats in the control group received the same volume of solvent. The rats were sacrificed on 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th day after orthodontic treatment, and the maxilla was harvested and the distance between the first and second molar was measured in each stage. Hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) staining, tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) staining were performed. The results were analyzed with SPSS 20.0 software package for one-way analysis of variance. RESULTS: The mesio-moving distance of the three groups successively increased gradually. On the 7th day, there was no difference between the low concentration group and the control group (P>0.05); at other time point, the experimental groups exhibited significant differences from the control group(P<0.05), and the high concentration group had more obviously mesio-movement than the low concentration group(P<0.05). Histological observation showed that in the tension side, osteoblast appeared, but more apparent in the experimental groups than in the control group. In the pressure side, the number of osteoclast reached the peak at the 7th day, and much more osteoclasts were seen in the experimental groups than in the control group (P<0.05), in high concentration group than in low concentration group (P<0.05). The number of osteoclast decreased subsequently, but significant difference existed between the experimental groups and the control group (P<0.05) on the 14th day. At other time points, there was no significant difference among the three groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Osthole could increase the number of osteoclast in periodontium and promote bone remodeling at the early stage of treatment, its effect is dose-dependence during OTM.
