ABSTRACT
Background Previous studies using meta-analysis to explore the relationship between air pollution exposure and ischemic stroke (IS) mostly focus on particulate matter-related themes, few include gaseous pollutants in the study, and subgroup analyses of factors such as different lag days, seasons, and genders are rarely been reported. Objective To quantitatively evaluate the relationships between short-term exposures to 6 common air pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5), inhalable particulate matter (PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3), and the incidence of IS. Methods A systematic search was conducted to collect literature studying the 6 common air pollutants and IS published up to May 1, 2022 in 6 databases (China Journal Full-text Database, China Biology Medicine Disc, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Embase). Literature quality evaluation was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Stata 16.0 software was used to conduct meta-analysis including heterogeneity test, combined effect size, meta-regression, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias test. Results A total of 33 articles were qualified for inclusion. The total number of samples included in the literature was 7195631. The meta-analysis results showed that short-term exposures to PM2.5 (OR=1.0082, 95%CI: 1.0049−1.0116), PM10 (OR=1.0017, 95%CI: 1.0008−1.0026), CO (OR=1.0328, 95%CI: 1.0231−1.0426), NO2 (OR=1.0150, 95%CI: 1.0079−1.0222), SO2 (OR=1.0158, 95%CI: 1.0078-1.0238), and O3 (OR=1.0017, 95%CI: 1.0003−1.0032) were associated with an increased risk of IS. PM10 and O3 increased the risk of IS in both lag0 and lag1, while PM2.5, CO, NO2, and SO2 all showed an associated increased risk of IS only in lag0. The results of sensitivity analysis showed stable results for all pollutants studied, and there was no publication bias in the literature on the association of the remaining five pollutants with IS incidence except for the PM2.5-related literature. Conclusion Short-term exposures to PM2.5, PM10, CO, NO2, SO2, and O3 may increase the incidence of IS, with this risk showing the most significant level on the day of IS onset.
ABSTRACT
In recent years, with the problem of aging population in China being prominant, the number of patients with chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, pressure ulcer, and vascular ulcer is increasing. Those diseases seriously affect the life quality of patients and increase the economy and care burden of the patients' family, which have been one of the most urgent clinical problems. Many researches have confirmed that adipose stem cells can effectively promote wound healing, while exogenous protease is needed, and there are ethical and many other problems, which limit the clinical application of adipose stem cells. Adipose stem cell matrix gel is a gel-like mixture of biologically active extracellular matrix and stromal vascular fragment obtained from adipose tissue by the principle of fluid whirlpool and flocculation precipitation. It contains rich adipose stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and macrophages, etc. The preparation method of adipose stem cell matrix gel is simple and the preparation time is short, which is convenient for clinical application. Many studies at home and abroad showed that adipose stem cell matrix gel can effectively promote wound healing by regulating inflammatory reaction, promoting microvascular reconstruction and collagen synthesis. Therefore, this paper summarized the preparation of adipose stem cell matrix gel, the mechanism and problems of the matrix gel in promoting wound repair, in order to provide new methods and ideas for the treatment of chronic refractory wounds in clinic.

Spinal cord stimulation (SCS)-induced analgesia was characterized, and its underlying mechanisms were examined in a spared nerve injury model of neuropathic pain in rats. The analgesic effect of SCS with moderate mechanical hypersensitivity was increased with increasing stimulation intensity between the 20% and 80% motor thresholds. Various frequencies (2, 15, 50, 100, 10000 Hz, and 2/100 Hz dense-dispersed) of SCS were similarly effective. SCS-induced analgesia was maintained without tolerance within 24 h of continuous stimulation. SCS at 2 Hz significantly increased methionine enkephalin content in the cerebrospinal fluid. The analgesic effect of 2 Hz was abolished by μ or κ opioid receptor antagonist. The effect of 100 Hz was prevented by a κ antagonist, and that of 10 kHz was blocked by any of the μ, δ, or κ receptor antagonists, suggesting that the analgesic effect of SCS at different frequencies is mediated by different endorphins and opioid receptors.

Objective:To establish and apply an intelligent nursing system document management system to provide bedside guidance for clinical nurses and standardize clinical nursing services.Methods:The intelligent nursing system document management system was established and successfully applied in clinical practice. Its functions included upload management, intelligent retrieval, cross-specialty sharing, multi-terminal access, reading trace management, individualized document revision reminder and file validity management. The problem of time-consuming file management, file retrieval time, and problem occurrence rate in file management when collecting manual management paper system files and intelligent system management electronic system files was evaluated, and the application effect of the intelligent nursing system file management system was evaluated.Results:The average time taken by the file administrator to collect and recycle documents was (492.68±14.04) min and (195.43±8.12) min. After the system was established, the files could be updated and discarded directly on the computer, which saved the time of collection and collection. The time consumption of the document decreased from (82.72±7.47) s to (44.75±5.28) s, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 34.242, P<0.01); the average incidence of dysfunction in the ward was 2.78%, and the average rate of inconsistent version was 5.56%. After that, the files were managed uniformly and synchronized, eliminating the lack of files and inconsistent versions; there was no need to print paper documents, which significantly reduced the cost of consumables. Conclusion:Through the establishment and application of the intelligent nursing system document management system, the document management process was rationally optimized, the accuracy and convenience of document use were effectively improved, the manpower and consumables cost of document management were reduced, and the efficiency and quality of document management were improved.
ABSTRACT
The pain-relieving effect of acupuncture is known to involve primary afferent nerves (PANs) via their roles in signal transmission to the CNS. Using single-unit recording in rats, we characterized the generation and transmission of electrical signals in Aβ and Aδ fibers induced by acupuncture-like stimuli. Acupuncture-like signals were elicited in PANs using three techniques: manual acupuncture (MAc), emulated acupuncture (EAc), and electro-acupuncture (EA)-like peripheral electrical stimulation (PES). The discharges evoked by MAc and EAc were mostly in a burst pattern with average intra-burst and inter-burst firing rates of 90 Hz and 2 Hz, respectively. The frequency of discharges in PANs was correlated with the frequency of PES. The highest discharge frequency was 246 Hz in Aβ fibers and 180 Hz in Aδ fibers. Therefore, EA in a dense-disperse mode (at alternating frequency between 2 Hz and 15 Hz or between 2 Hz and 100 Hz) best mimics MAc. Frequencies of EA output >250 Hz appear to be obsolete for pain relief.

ABSTRACT
Aim To determine the effect of exosomes from lipopolysaccharide-treated human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on proportion of Ly6Chigh and Ly6Clow monocytes/macrophages in inflammatory micro- environment. Methods BMSCs were obtained by gra-dient centrifugation, identified and then treated with li-popolysaccharide for 48 h. The exosomes were purified from conditional medium with or without LPS treatment and identified by CD63 protein using Western blot and transmission electron microscope. The diameters and concentration were detected by Nanoparticle Trafficking Analysis ( NTA ) . The monocytes/macrophages were sorted from bone marrow of the mice by magnetic beads. Cells were co-cultured with exosomes for 24 hours, and then treated with LPS for 48 hours. The proportion of Ly6C monocytes/macrophages was detec-ted by flow cytometry. Inflammatory cytokines in cell supernatant were investigated using ELISA. Results BMSCs surface markers CD44, CD90 were positively detected, but CD34, CD45 were not expressed. BM-SCs presented adipogenic differentiation ability. Exo-somes were positively expressing CD63 protein, and NTA showed that the diameters of exosomes were up to (82.4 ± 3.7 ) nm. BMSCs stimulated by LPS pro- duced more exosomes ( P < 0.01 ) . Exosomes from BMSCs with or without LPS treatment could increase the ratio of Ly6Chigh monocytes (P<0.01) and down-regulate the ratio of Ly6Chigh macrophages (P<0.05), and the effect of LPS treated-exosomes was more signif-icant than untreated-exosomes (P<0.05). Moreover, the concentration of IL-6 was also elevated under exo-somes treatment ( P <0.05 ) . Conclusions Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes contribute to the regulation of Ly6Chigh monocytes/mac-rophages, indicating that they could be involved in the therapeutic treatment of inflammatory diseases.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate whether N6-methyladenine DNA(6-mA DNA) modification is related to the occurrence of infantile hemangiomas (IH) at the epigenetic level.@*Methods@#The genomic 6-mA DNA data were obtained by MeDIP and high-throughput sequencing. The 6-mA DNA methylation levels in 3 proliferative hemangioma specimens and adjacent skin tissues were compared by u-test. The functional differences of 6-mA modified genes were analyzed by GO analysis.@*Results@#The level of 6-mA DNA modification in IH tissue was higher. The coverage of 6-mA Peaks in the genome was 0.037% in the tumor tissue, and the coverage of 6-mA Peaks in the surrounding skin tissue was 0.013% in the genome. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (u=5999.87, P=0.00). The gene functions of differentially 6-mA modified genes in tumors were enriched in mesoderm development, stem cell differentiation, mesenchymal development, and cell cycle. These gene functions were closely related to the pathogenesis of IH.@*Conclusion@#Abnormal 6-mA DNA modification may be one of the pathogenesis of infantile hemangioma.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the efficacy of 1 mg·kg-1·d-1 and 2.0 mg·kg-1·d-1 of propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas, so as to provide an ideal dosage for clinical treatment.@*Methods@#From September 2015 to October 2016, there were 89 patients in accordance with the inclusion criteria of infantile hemangiomas. According to randomized and controlled principle, the patients were assigned to receive two propranolol regimens, Group A(n=45): propranolol at a dose of 1 mg·kg-1·d-1; Group B(n=44): propranolol at a dose of 2 mg·kg-1·d-1. 1 or 2 mg of propranolol base per kilogram per day, divided into two doses.The first dose was taken at 9, next at 15.The effective rate, cure rate and adverse effect rate were compared at the six months after treatment. The duration of the treatment was compared after 12 months′ treatment, and the recurrence rate was compared at the three months after being cured.The data were statistically processed with SPSS 22.0. The sample rate was compared with χ2 test, and the data were compared with t test. P<0.05 was statistically significant difference.@*Results@#Group A: Treatment for 6 months, 45 children were evaluated as follows: the effective rate was 91.1%(41/45), the cure rate was 60%(27/45). The incidence of adverse reactions was 13.3%(6/45). The cure rate of group A at 12 months was 86.7%(39/45). The duration of treatment was 7.6±2.7 months.The recurrence rate was 9.5%(4/42). Group B: Treatment for 6 months, 44 children were evaluated as follows: the effective rate was 90.9%(40/44), the cure rate was 72.7%(32/44). The incidence of adverse reactions was 15.9%(7/44). The cure rate of group B at 12 months was 88.6%(39/44). The duration of treatment was 6.2±1.9 months. The recurrence rate was 11.9%(5/42). The effective rate of the two groups at 6 months was not statistically significant(χ2=2.583, P=0.461). The cure rate of the two groups at 6 months was statistically significant(χ2=8.339, P=0.004). The incidence of adverse effects was not statistically significant(χ2=0.118, P=0.731). The cure rate of the two groups at 12 month was not statistically significant(χ2=0.080, P=0.778). The duration of treatment between the groups was statistically significant (t=0.290, P=0.009). The recurrence rate of the two groups after 3 months withdrawal was no statistical difference(χ2=0.124, P=0.724).@*Conclusions@#The propranolol doses at 1 mg·kg-1·d-1 and 2 mg·kg-1·d-1 in the treatment of infantile hemangiomas are safe and effective. The propranolol dose at 1 mg·kg-1·d-1 doesn′t decrease the effective and cure rate, not increase the recurrence rate in infantile hemangiomas. Low dose at 1 mg·kg-1·d-1 can be used as a common dose of propranolol in infantile hemangiomas.
ABSTRACT
Aim To investigate whether human umbili-cal cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs)exposed to inflammatory conditions could release large amounts of exosomes to induce regulatory T cells(Treg).Meth-ods hUC-MSCs were isolated by enzyme digestion method.(In vitro)interferonγ(IFN-γ)was added in-to hUC-MSCs to mimic inflammatory microenviron-ments,then exosomes were extracted from the superna-tant of normal conditional medium or IFN-γpretreated hUC-MSCs.Both sources of exosomes,Nor-hUC-exo and IFN-γ-stimulated hUC-exo, were identified by Nanoparticle Trafficking Analysis (NTA )and Western blot for the exosome-enriched protein CD63 .Next,hu-man peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs ) stimulated with PHA were respectively co-cultured with hUC-MSCs,IFN-γ-pretreated-hUC-MSCs,hUC-MSCs exosomes or IFN-γ-stimulated-hUC-MSCs exosomes for 5 days to assess the exosomes-T cells communication. The proliferation rate of PBMCs and frequency of CD4 +/CD25 +/Foxp3 + Treg were measured by flow cytometry.Results The isolated cells from human um-bilical cord tissue,which were positive for CD73, CD44,CD29,CD90 and HLA-ABC,but were nega-tive for CD31 and CD34,were mesenchymal stem cells indeed.After IFN-γtreatment,hUC-MSCs secreted nu-merous exosomes(P<0.05 ).Morerover,there was a significantly higher level of CD63 ,but no difference in diameter between Nor-hUC-exo and IFN-γ-stimulated hUC-exo.IFN-γ-stimulated hUC-exo had a superior a-bility compared with Nor-hUC-exo to suppress the pro-liferation of PHA stimulated PBMCs due to their upreg-ulation of the percentage of Treg (1 1.53 ±0.88% vs 6.60 ±0.56%,P <0.01 ).Conclusion hUC-MSCs could promote the expression of Treg to modulate im-munosuppression through exosomes,especially for IFN-γ-licenced exosomes,which might carry much immu-notherapeutic potential.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of transitional care on postpartum negative mood for puerpera. Methods One hundred sixty eligible puerperas were recruited between January 2013 and October 2014. By order of hospitalization, participants were randomly assigned into two groups. The control group (80 cases) received routine care. The study group received transitional care which consisted of predischarge assessment, structured home visits and telephone follow-ups, psychological rehabilitation group activities, phone and internet consulting services within six months after discharge. Screenings of predischarge depression and anxiety symptoms of the study group were done by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Evaluations of depression and anxiety symptoms of two groups were done by Edinburgh postnatal depression scale (EPDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)on postpartum forty-two days and six months. Results There were no differences in demographics, maternal indicators and completion of follow-up between groups (P > 0.05). On postpartum forty-two days, the study group had significantly better depression and anxiety scores (P 0.05). On postpartum six months, the study group had significantly better depression and anxiety scores, less incidences of depression and anxiety than the control group (P group were 7.13±2.52 and 42.6±6.0, those of control group were 8.87±2.66 and 48.8±5.9. The incidences of depression and anxiety of study group were 6.4%(5/78)and 7.7%(6/78), those of control group were both 26.0%(20/77). Analysis of multiple linear regression suggested that age, education level and family income would affect transitional care intervention on postpartum depression. Conclusions This study established a nurse-led transitional care model which selected the gynecology and obstetrics professional nurse as advanced practice nurse. Results demonstrated that transitional care was effective on improving maternal postpartum depression and anxiety.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the therapeutic effect and the efficacy of external carotid artery catheterization and drug infusion therapy for severe infant hemangiomas in oral and maxillofacial regions.Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 126 cases with severe infant oral and maxillofacial hemangiomas were retrospectively analyzed in Henan Provincial People's Hospital between June 2004 and December 2009.The patients included 45 male and 81 female cases,and the average visiting age of the patients was 3.9 months (ranged 10 days to 1 year and 4 months).Among 126 patients,24 cases occurred with Kasabach-Merritte syndrome (KMS).The patients were treated with ligation of external carotid artery,insertion of a tube inside the lesion and injection of 400 g/L Carbonyldiamide after operation.Methylprednisolone was added in infusion if the patients were combined with KMS.Results The mean follow-up period was 6.1 years (ranged 4.3 to 10.2 years).All of 126 cases were cured through the management including external carotid artery catheterization and drug infusion therapy in 94 cases,and the combination treatment of the infusion and local Carbonyldiamide injection in 32 cases.The size of hemangiomas gradually shrank and disappeared after the therapy.The hemangiomas in 105 cases disappeared completely in 6-12 months,and 21 cases disappeared in 1-2 years.Twenty-four patients were complicated with KMS.The thrombocyte count and blood coagulation function also returned to normal after the therapy.Among the 24 cases,the thrombocyte count in 13 cases was back to normal within 3-7 days,and 7 cases within 8-14 days.In the remaining 4 cases,it normalized within 15-30 days.The weight,height,immunity of the patients were in keeping with the healthy counterparts after long term follow-up.And no serious adverse effect was observed.Conclusions For severe infant hemangiomas in oral and maxillofacial regions,the external carotid artery catheterization and drug infusion therapy can obviously shorten the treatment time,and reduce the drug side effects.It is a better and more reliable treatment method.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of propranolol in infantile hemangiomas by comparing with prednisone.Methods A systematic literature search of PubMed,Embase,Cochrane,Ovid,Google Scholar and CNKI,VIP,Wanfang database was conducted to identify studies about the treatment of propranolol in children with hemangiomas.We chose randomized controlled trials and clinical controlled trials.We selected literatures by certain standards.Results Eight papers including 9 studies were identified by the strategy mentioned above.These 8 literatures met our inclusion criteria after review by two independent reviewers.The studies comprised 407 patients.Six of the control group were oral prednisone,and there was no statistic heterogeneity (P =0.09,I2 =0％).The fixed model was used to do the statistic analysis.The outcome showed the effective rate of propranolol was higher than that of prednisone,with statistically significant difference (OR=7.56,95％ CI:3.18-17.98).Three of the control group included observation or oral placebo,without statistic heterogeneity (P=0.48,I2=0％) either.The outcome showed the effective rate of propranolol on hemangioma was higher than that of the control group (OR=23.15,95％CI:7.15-74.94).Of all the eight researches,five reported adverse effects,with statistic heterogeneity (P=0.0003,I2 =81 ％).In addition,the adverse rate of propranolol was lower than that of prednisone,with statistically significant difference (OR=0.12,95％ CI:0.02-0.75).Conclusions The results of this meta-analysis show that oral propranolol could obviously decrease the volume and improve the color of infantile hemangiomas.And propranolol is a significantly more effective for IH than steroids.The incidence of adverse effects of propranolol is also lower than that of prednisone.As a result,propranolol should be recommended as the first choice therapy for infantile hemangioma.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Biological dressing A (porcine Xenoderm) and Physiotule Ag (Coloplast) show good effects on the absorption of exudates, adhesion and anti-bacteria in treatment of degree Ⅱ facial burns. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effectiveness of biological dressing Aversus Physiotule Ag after early debridement of degree Ⅱ facial burns. METHODS:A total of 15 patients with superficial degree Ⅱ facial burn and 10 patients with deep degree Ⅱ facial burns were included. Symmetric facial area of the same patient with the same depth of burn was divided into two parts of same size for treatments. One side was randomly selected as the experimental side, and treated with biological dressing A. The other was selected as the control side and treated with Physiotule Ag. We compared wound healing time, infection, times of changing dressings, skin after healing, drug change comfort and dressing comfort between the two sides. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In patients with superficial grade Ⅱ facial burn, times of changing dressings and drug change comfort were better in the experimental side than in the control side (P < 0.05), but the dressing comfort was better in the control side than the experimental side (P< 0.05). No significant difference in wound healing time, infection and skin after healing was detected between the two sides. In patients with deep degree Ⅱ facial burns, wound healing time, times of changing dressings, skin after healing and drug change comfort were better in the experimental side than in the control side (P < 0.05), but the dressing comfort was better in the control side than the experimental side (P< 0.05). No significant difference in infection was detectable between the two sides. Above findings suggested that the therapeutic effects of biological dressing A and Physiotule Ag were similar in treatment of degree Ⅱ facial burns. Biological dressing A in repair of deep degree Ⅱ facial burns promotes the wound healing andelevates the quality of healing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the matrix formula of propranolol hydrochloride gels. Methods On the basis of single factor experiment, central composite design-response surface method was used to optimize the formula. Addition levels of glycerol (A), PEG-400 (B) and HPMC (C) were evaluated as the independent variables.Eight-hour accumulative penetration amount per unit area measured by HPLC was used as the index. Quadratic polynomial was used to estimate the relationship between the index and the independent variables, and to delineate response surface and overlay contour plots in order to select the optimal formulations.Finally, predicted responses were verified. Results The optimized formula consisted of 18.53% glycerol, 8.54% PEG-400 and 2.35% HPMC.The quadratic polynomial regression model of 8-h accumulative penetration amount per unit area:R1=-7 415. 69+306. 10A+167. 47B+4 820. 59C-8. 26A2-9. 81B2-1 025. 75C2 , and the cumulative transmittance was 49.6%. Conclusion A credible model is established by using central composite design-response surface method and the formula of propranolol hydrochloride gels is optimized and the gel is stable and controllable.
