ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of LEARNS[listen(L),establish(E),adopt(A),reinforce(R),name(N),strengthen(S)]model health education for patients with peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)after discharge.Methods From June 2020 to June 2021,193 discharged patients with PICC were selected as the study objects.They were divided into observation group(95 cases)and control group(98 cases)according to random number table method.The control group received routine health education and continued follow-up for 3 months.In the observation group,health education was constructed and implemented at 2,4,8 and 12 weeks after discharge based on the control group and the basis of LEARNS model.The incidence of PICC-related complications and PICC-related adverse events were compared between the two groups,and self-management ability was evaluated using cancer patients PICC self-management scale(CPPSMS)score,strategies used by people to promote health(SUPPH)were used to evaluate self-efficacy.Results The incidence of PICC-related complications and adverse events in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group[11.58%(11/95)vs.40.82%(40/98)and 6.32%(6/95)vs.22.45%(22/98),both P＜0.05].There were no statistically significant differences in CPPSMS scores(daily catheter observation,maintenance compliance,management confidence,anomaly handling,information acquisition,tubeed exercise,and tubeed daily life)and SUPPH scores(positive attitude,self-stress reduction,and self-decision-making)in the two groups before intervention,and the above scores were higher than those before intervention.After intervention,the above scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(CPPSMS total score was 131.37±27.20 vs.92.41±23.89,daily catheter observation score was 26.02±6.04 vs.18.27±5.43,maintenance compliance score was 18.45±4.36 vs.13.28±3.12,and management confidence score was 17.69±3.37 vs.13.81±3.65,anomaly processing score was 15.01±3.46 vs.10.25±2.74,information acquisition score was 11.98±2.56 vs.7.84±2.07,tube motion score was 15.94±3.46 vs.10.28±2.78,daily life with tubes score was 26.28±5.19 vs.18.68±4.46,all P＜0.05;SUPPH total score was 106.54±20.84 vs.93.93±18.50,positive attitude score was 56.89±11.45 vs.49.34±10.56,self-stress reduction score was 38.25±8.73 vs.34.76±6.28,the self-decision-making score was 11.40±2.57 vs.9.83±2.96,all P＜0.05).Conclusion The implementation of health education based on LEARNS model in discharged patients with PICC tube can improve their self-management ability and self-efficacy,and improve clinical prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate whether in vitro cultured human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) express sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP), assess their susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and analyze the role of NTCP during HBV infection. Methods:BMSCs were infected with HBV-positive serum under different conditions. HBV DNA load in cell culture supernatants as well as in BMSCs and the amount of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) in cell culture supernatants were detected. To analyze the role of NTCP, BMSCs were first transfected with small interfering RNA targeting NTCP (NTCP-siRNA) and then infected with HBV-positive serum under different conditions. Virus loads and the amount of HBsAg and HBsAg were also detected. Western blot assay was performed to measure the expression of NTCP in BMSCs in each group.Results:In vitro cultured adherent BMSCs were susceptible to HBV infection albeit with a really low efficiency, but the infection efficiency was significantly increased when infecting the BMSCs in suspension. NTCP was expressed in BMSCs and the expression could be upregulated during HBV infection, especially in BMSCs in suspension. HBV infection was blocked when BMSCs were transfected with NTCP-siRNA. Conclusions:In vitro cultured human BMSCs were susceptible to HBV infection and the expressed NTCP served as a functional receptor for HBV. Human BMSCs could be used as a highly susceptible and stable cell model that needed no molecular adjuvant modification for research on the early stages of the HBV life cycle and for development of antiviral therapy.

The relationship between the activity of serum SOD and gender ,age ,and blood glucose concentrations in patients with type 2 diabe-tes peripheral neuropathy were analyzed .Results The difference of the activity of serum SOD between type 2 diabetes peripheral neuropathy group and control group was statistically significant (t=7 .798 ,P=0 .000) .There were no differences between the ac-tivity of serum SOD and gender ,age ,and blood glucose concentrations in patients with type 2 diabetes peripheral neuropathy .The SOD activities in 6 .1-7 .0 mmol/L and ≥7 .0 mmol/L groups were statistically significant (P=0 .034) .Conclusion The activity of serum SOD increase in T2DM patients with DPN .The activity of serum SOD is associated with blood glucose concentrations ,and might increase with elevated blood glucose .
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the cognitive level and the mental status of the patients suffering from perimenopausal syndrome in Shanghai, and to identify the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome distribution feature of perimenopausal syndrome. Methods: The cognitive level of the perimenopausal women was evaluated by using general living problem questionnaire. The mental status of the perimenopausal women was evaluated by using self-rating depressive scale. The traditional Chinese medicine syndrome distribution feature of perimenopausal syndrome was identified by using traditional Chinese medical symptoms questionnaire. Results: A total of 634 perimenopausal women finished the investigation. There were 74.76% (474/634) patients who knew little about the perimenopausal syndrome; 77.29% (490/634) patients had a depressive tendency; 8.36% (53/634) patients had depressive disorder. There were 72.40% (459/634) patients who had the symptoms such as susceptibility to anger and restlessness, restless sleep at night, thirst with dry throat and bitter taste, and all these symptoms could be classified into hyperactivity of heart and liver fire syndrome. Conclusion: Patients suffering from perimenopausal syndrome know little about this disease and mostly have depressive tendency, and the major traditional Chinese medicine syndrome pattern is hyperactivity of heart and liver fire based on the chief clinical manifestations of the patients.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To explore the effects of antibiotics and herbs with removing pathogenic heat from blood on ovarian granulosa cell morphological and functions in female rats.
