ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the development trajectory and influencing factors of pediatric medical traumatic stress in parents of children undergoing surgery, so as to provide reference for targeted intervention measures in the later stage.Methods:Adopting prospective research design, from January 2022 to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to recruit 199 parents of children undergoing surgery in the pediatric surgery ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China as subjects. The level of medical traumatic stress symptoms in parents was investigated by the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 at one day before surgery, during postoperative recovery, after discharge and 3 months after discharge. The general data questionnaire, Parents′ Perception of Uncertainty Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of medical traumatic stress symptoms in parents one day before the operation.Latent growth mixture model and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the data.Results:The development trajectory of pediatric medical traumatic stress in parents of children undergoing surgery was divided into two categories: the first was low-level decline (90.5%, 180/199) and the second was high-level stability (9.5%, 19/199). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative complications, surgical type and negative coping styles of parents were the main influencing factors of pediatric medical traumatic stress trajectory in parents of surgical children(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The pediatric medical traumatic stress in parents of children undergoing surgery have group heterogeneity trajectory, medical staff can formulate targeted and individualized intervention programs according to their trajectories and influencing factors.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To study in vi tro inhibitory act ivities of 9 kinds of TCM for dredging collaterals and dispelling wind on xanthine oxidase （XO），and to screen TCM with outstanding activity. METHODS ：Using xanthine as substrate and xanthinase as reaction enzyme ，allopurinol as positive control ，with water extract and methanol extract （hereinafter referred to as “ethanol extract”）from the stem and leaves of Hedera nepalensis ，the whole plant of Piper wallichii ，the fruits of Rubus corchorifolius ，the root of Caragana sinica ，the root of Wisteria sinensis ，the root of Rubus crataegifolius ，the bark of Catalpa ovata ，the root of Campsis grandiflora ，the stem of P. hancei （hereinafter referred to by plant name ）and petroleum ether ，dichloromethane，ethyl acetate，n-butanol and water fraction of active extract as the objects ，inhibition rate of each sample to XO was detected by spectrophotometry；IC50values were calculated with Graphpad prism 6.0 software to screen active extract/fraction. Double reciprocal method was used to determine the type of enzyme inhibition. RESULTS ：Among 9 kinds of TCM and 18 kinds of the extracts ，the inhibitory rates to XO of 500 μg/mL extracts from each TCM（except for ethanol extract of P. wallichii ），250 μg/mL water extract and ethanol extract of H. nepalensis ，P. wallichii ，R. corchorifolius and P. hancei ，250 μg/mL water extract of C. ovata ，250 μ g/mL ethanol extract of C. sinica ，R. crataegifolius and C. grandiflora ，125 μ g/mL ethanol extract of C. sinica and R. crataegifolius，62.5 μg/mL ethanol extract of C. sinica were more than 50％. The IC 50 value of the ethanol extract from C. sinica was 43.43 μg/mL，which was lower than the extracts of other TCM ，and which was the active extract. The IC 50 values of petroleum ether，dichloromethane，ethyl acetate ，n-butanol and water fracti on of ethanol extract from C. sinica were ＞200，193.35，7.67， 14.80 and ＞200 μg/mL，respectively. The IC 50 value of ethyl XO was competitive-noncompetitive inhibition ， which was different from competi tive inhibition of positive control. CONCLUSIONS：The ethanol extracts of C. sinica ，R. crataegifolius ，P. wallichii ，R. corchorifolius ，P. hancei ，H. nepalensis and the water extracts of H. nepalensis ，P. wallichii ，C. ovata show certain inhibitory activity in vitro to XO ，especially ethanol extract of C. sinica . The ethyl acetate fraction of the ethanol extract of C. sinica has similar inhibitory activity to allopurinol but their inhibition types are different.
ABSTRACT
Transient receptor potential A1 (TRPAl) is a cold sensitive cation channel, which could also be activated by various pungent compounds. As a transduction channel in a number of sensory modalities, TRPAl expressing in heterogonous systems serves to provide great convenience in pharmacological analysis and functional investigation. Due to cellular toxicity, establishment of stable TRPAl cell line has always been challenging. Nevertheless, the first stable human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell line with un-controlled expression of TRPAl was successfully established. It was also confirmed that this stable cell line retained TRPAl expression for more than 25 passages in culture. The functional analysis of the cell response verified the stability and specificity of this novel recombinant TRPAl cell line. Altogether, the data indicated this TRPAl-HEK cell line would be a useful tool for functional analysis of TRPAl and for the development of high throughput screening (HTS) compatible assay in the effort to identify TRPAl modulators.
