ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore any effect of pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation on intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD).Methods:Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, an IDD model group, a PEMF group and an observation group. An IDD model was induced in all except those in the control group. Both the PEMF and observation groups were given PEMF stimulation, while the latter was additionally injected with the A2AR agonist CGS-21680. Eight weeks after the modelling any pathological changes in the morphology of the rats′ intervertebral disc tissues were evaluated using saffron solid green staining. The expression of A2AR, cyclic adenosine phosphate (cAMP), protein kinase A (PKA), cysteine aspartate proteolytic enzyme-3 (Caspase-3), type II collagen (COL-II) and matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP3) in the intervertebral discs were evaluated.Results:The nucleus pulposus had shrunk, while fibrous tissues and chondrocytes had increased in the IDD model group. In the observation group the nucleus pulposus was intact and of basically normal shape. A2AR mRNA and protein levels were higher in the intervertebral disc tissue of the model group than among the control group, on average, while the levels in the observation group were significantly higher than in the other groups. In the PEMF and observation groups cAMP and PKA mRNA were significantly higher than in the IDD model group. The p38 MAPK and P-P38 MAPK levels of the IDD model group and its average P-P38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio were significantly higher than in the control group. In the PEMF and observation groups those indices had decreased to varying degrees, with those of the observation group significantly lower than among the model and PEMF groups on average, except for the p38 MAPK values. Caspase-3 and its mRNA were significantly higher in the model group than in the control group, on average, and those values were significantly lower in the PEMF and observation groups than in the IDD model group. The average MMP3 contents of the IDD model group had increased significantly compared with the control group, while the Col-Ⅱ level had decreased significantly. Compared with the IDD model group, the MMP3 level had decreased but Col-Ⅱ expression had increased in both the PEMF and observation groups, with significant differences between the IDD model and observation groups.Conclusions:The activation of the p38 MAPK signaling pathway by inflammatory factors to induce apoptosis is one of the important reasons for the aggravation of IDD lesions. PEMF combined with A2AR agonists can activate the A2AR/cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, inhibit p38 MAPK phosphorylation, reduce apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells, and relieve IDD damage.

ABSTRACT

Taohe Chengqi Decoction is a classical prescription for removing heat and blood stasis, possessing anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, hemorheological, renal interstitial fibrosis and other pharmacological effects, which is often used to treat diseases of internal medicine, orthopedics, and obstetrics and gynecology. This article reviewed the chemical composition, pharmacological effects and clinical application of Taohe Chengqi Decoction. On this basis, Q-marker of Taohe Chengqi Decoction was predicted and analyzed according to the "five principles" of Q-marker. These results suggested that amygdalin, cinnamic acid, Cinnamaldehyde, rhein, emodin, glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin can be used as Q-markers in Taohe Chengqi Decoction.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To clinically validate the feasibility and accuracy of cine images acquired through the multitasking method, with no electrocardiogram gating and free-breathing, in measuring left ventricular (LV) function indices by comparing them with those acquired through the balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) method, with multiple breath-holds and electrocardiogram gating. @*Materials and Methods@#Forty-three healthy volunteers (female:male, 30:13; mean age, 23.1 ± 2.3 years) and 36 patients requiring an assessment of LV function for various clinical indications (female:male, 22:14; 57.8 ± 11.3 years) were enrolled in this prospective study. Each participant underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the multiple breath-hold bSSFP method and free-breathing multitasking method. LV function parameters were measured for both MRI methods. Image quality was assessed through subjective image quality scores (1 to 5) and calculation of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between the myocardium and blood pool. Differences between the two MRI methods were analyzed using the Bland–Altman plot, paired t-test, or Wilcoxon signed-rank test, as appropriate. @*Results@#LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was not significantly different between the two MRI methods (P = 0.222 in healthy volunteers and P = 0.343 in patients). LV end-diastolic mass was slightly overestimated with multitasking in both healthy volunteers (multitasking vs. bSSFP, 60.5 ± 10.7 g vs. 58.0 ± 10.4 g, respectively; P < 0.001) and patients (69.4 ± 18.1 g vs. 66.8 ± 18.0 g, respectively; P = 0.003). Acceptable and comparable image quality was achieved for both MRI methods (multitasking vs. bSSFP, 4.5 ± 0.7 vs. 4.6 ± 0.6, respectively; P = 0.203). The CNR between the myocardium and blood pool showed no significant differences between the two MRI methods (18.89 ± 6.65 vs. 18.19 ± 5.83, respectively; P = 0.480). @*Conclusion@#Multitasking-derived cine images obtained without electrocardiogram gating and breath-holding achieved similar image quality and accurate quantification of LVEF in healthy volunteers and patients.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe any regulatory effect of a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) on A2A adenosine receptors (A2ARs) in the nucleus pulposus of rats with intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), and to explore any combination with the A2ARs′ agonist-mediating ROS/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, an intervertebral disc degeneration group (the model group), an A2AR agonist CGS-21680 treatment group (the agonist group), a PEMF group and a PEMF combined with CGS-21680 treatment group (the observation group). IDD was modeled in all except the rats in the control group. 100μL of CGS-21680 (100μg/kg) was injected into the L 5-6 intervertebral discs of the agonist group, while the PEMF group was given 30 minutes of PEMF intervention daily for 14 days at 1.5mT and 75Hz with a pulse width of 150μs. The observation group was injected with CGS-21680 and then given the same PEMF intervention. Primary nucleus pulposus cells from each group (50ng/mL) were cultured and the expressions of 8-OHDG, SOD, MDA and ROS were detected by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence or with an ELISA kit. The A2AR, PI3K, AKT and p-AKT protein levels were detected using western blotting. Results:The nucleus pulposus cells and the annulus fibrosus were obviously wrinkled, necrotic and broken in the model group but the annulus fibrosus was intact and the nucleus pulposus was almost normal in the observation group. Compared with the model group, the levels of SOD and A2AR, PI3K, p-AKT and AKT protein were higher in the agonist, PEMF and observation groups, while the expressions of MDA, ROS and 8-OHDG were weaker. The ROS level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the agonist and PEMF groups, and the phosphorylation level of p-AKT in the observation group was significantly higher than in the agonist and PEMF groups. The average levels of SOD, A2AR, PI3K, p-AKT and AKT protein in the nucleus pulposus cells of the agonist, PEMF and observation groups were significantly higher than the IL-1β group′s average, while the average levels of MDA, ROS and 8-OHDG were significantly lower. The ROS levels in the observation group were significantly lower than in the agonist and PEMF groups, while the A2AR protein content and p-AKT phosphorylation in the observation group were significantly greater. The average Bax levels in the nucleus pulposus cells of the agonist, PEMF and observation groups were significantly lower than that in the IL-1β group, and the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly increased. There was significantly less apoptosis observed in the observation group than in the agonist and PEMF groups, while the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly higher.Conclusions:PEMF plays an anti-oxidative stress role by up-regulating A2AR activity and reducing ROS generation. Treatment with PEMF and A2AR agonist could further activate the phosphorylation of PI3K/Akt, down-regulate Bax and up-regulate Bcl-2, thus inhibiting the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and alleviating the malignant progression of IDD.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the effect of combining pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) stimulation with A 2A adenosine receptor agonist CGS-21680 on apoptosis and inflammation of nucleus pulposus cells in cases of intervertebral disc degeneration. Methods:Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group (Sham group), an intervertebral disc degenerative disease group (Model group), an A 2A adenosine receptor agonist CGS-21680 group (Agonist group), and a group in which PEMF was combined with CGS-21680 (Observation group). The rat model of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) was established in all other groups than the sham operation group. The rats in the Agonist group were injected with 100μL of CGS-21680 (100μg/kg) at the L 5-6 intervertebral disc. The Observation group was injected with CGS-21680 similarly but then received 14 conse-cutive days of PEMF stimulation (30min/time). The Sham and Model groups were injected with the same amount of normal saline solution. Eight weeks later, HE staining was used to evaluate the pathological changes in the intervertebral disc tissues. The expression of type II collagen was determined by immunohistochemistry. The content and mRNA expression of inflammatory factors interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions (RT-PCRs). The protein and mRNA levels of A 2A, NLRP3 and caspase-3 were determined by western blotting and RT-PCR. Results:The degeneration in the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus in the Model group was significant, while significantly less shrinkage, necrosis and fibrous annulus rupture was observed in the Observation group. Compared with Model and Agonist groups, the positive expression of Col Ⅱ in the nucleus pulposus, A 2AR protein levels and relative expression of its mRNA had all increased significantly in the Observation group, while the average levels and mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF-α had decreased significantly. The average protein level and mRNA expression of NLRP3 and caspase-3 in the intervertebral disc tissues of the Observation group were significantly lower than in the Model and Agonist groups. Conclusions:Combining pulsed electromagnetic field stimulation with A 2A adenosine receptor agonist CGS-21680 can inhibit the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells, alleviate disease response and delay IDD by up-regulating the activity of A 2A receptors and down-regulating the expressions of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, NLRP3 and caspase-3 in nucleus pulposus cells.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of early multi-dimensional cardiac rehabilitation (CR) nursing mode on patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:From August 2017 to July 2018, 100 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) underwent PCI in the Department of Cardiology, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were selected as subjects. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into control group and observation group, 50 in each group. The control group received routine CR nursing intervention, and the observation group was given early multi-dimensional CR nursing mode for intervention. All patients were followed up for 6 months. The incidence of major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) was observed 1 month and 6 months of follow-up. Patients with somatization were evaluated on the 2nd day after PCI and in the first month of follow-up using the Somatic Self-rating Scale (SSS). In the first month and the 6th month of follow-up, patient compliance was assessed using the 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8).Results:During the study period, 3 patients were detached from each group, and there were 47 patients in both groups who completed the study. The incidence of MACE in the control group in 1 month and 6 months was 8.51% (4/47) and 4.26% (2/47), respectively. The incidence of MACE in the observation group was 10.64% (5/47) and 4.26%, (2/47) respectively. There was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE between the two groups ( χ2 value was 0.123, 0.000, P>0.05). In the first month of follow-up, the SSS scores of the control group (34.32±6.59) and the observation group (31.04±7.04) were lower than those of the second day after surgery (37.21±6.19, 37.43±7.29), and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 4.633, 2.660, P<0.05). The SSS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 2.330, P<0.05). In the first month of follow-up, there was no significant difference in MMAS-8 score between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the 6th month of follow-up, the MMAS-8 score (5.72±0.62) in the control group was lower than the first month of follow-up (6.93±0.54), and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 10.028, P<0.05). The MMAS-8 score of the control group was lower than that of the observation group (6.89±0.58), and the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 9.490, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MMAS-8 score between the observation group in the first month of follow-up and the sixth month of follow-up ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Early multi-dimensional CR nursing mode has a limited effect on improving the incidence of MACE in patients after PCI, but it can effectively reduce the somatization symptoms of patients and maintain good medication compliance.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Despite the recent large number of studies comparing endoscopic and laparoscopic resection for small gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) (diameter ≤ 5 cm), the results remain conflicting. The objective of this work was to perform a cumulative meta-analysis to assess the advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic resection vs. laparoscopic resection.@*METHODS@#The meta-analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We searched medical databases up to January 2020. Meta-analytical random or fixed effects models were used in pooled analyses. Meta-regression, cumulative meta-analyses, and subgroup analyses were performed to improve the accuracy of the conclusion. Sensitivity analyses were applied to assess the robustness of the results.@*RESULTS@#A total of 12 cohort studies with 1383 participants comparing endoscopic resection and laparoscopic resection were identified, while three cohort studies with 167 participants comparing endoscopic resection and laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery were found. We found that endoscopic resection had shorter operation times (weighted mean difference [WMD] = -27.1 min, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -40.8 min to -13.4 min) and lengths of hospital stay (WMD = -1.43 d, 95% CI: -2.31 d to -0.56 d) than did laparoscopic resection. The results were stable and reliable. There were no significant differences in terms of blood loss, hospitalization costs, incidence of complications or recurrence rates. For tumor sizes 2 - 5 cm, endoscopic resection increased the risk of positive margins (relative risk [RR] = 5.78, 95% CI: 1.31 - 25.46). Although operation times for endoscopic resection were shorter than those of laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (WMD = -41.03 min, 95% CI: -59.53 min to -22.54 min), there was a higher incidence of complications (RR = 4.03, 95% CI: 1.57 - 10.34).@*CONCLUSIONS@#In general, endoscopic resection is an alternative method for gastric GISTs ≤ 5 cm. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery may work well in combination. Further randomized controlled trials are recommended to validate or update these results.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe electromagnetic field irradiation′s ability to inhibit heterotopic ossification (HO) and explore the mechanisms involved.Methods:A total of 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and an observation group, each of 24. The rats in the model and observation groups were made to model HO by clamping and cutting the Achilles tendon, while among those in the control group the Achilles tendon was only exposed without clamping and cutting. The rats in the observation group were exposed to a 1mT electromagnetic field alternating sinusoidally at 50Hz (SEMF) twice a day for 2h each time. At 3 days, 14 days, 1 month and 3 months after the operation, Achilles tendon tissue was resected from 6 rats in each group for gross and histological examination and immunohistochemical staining. The protein content and gene expression were detected using western blotting or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. X-ray examination was performed at 1 and 3 months after the operation to observe any HO.Results:No significant changes were observed in the control group after the operation. Compared with the model group, HO in the observation group was significantly inhibited. The average expression of the MMP-9 gene in the model and observation groups was significantly higher than in the control group, and it increased with time. The average tissue metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) gene expression was significantly lower, and it decreased with time. Compared with the model group, the average expression of MMP-9 in the observation group was significantly less, while that of TIMP-1 was significantly greater. Compared with the model group, there was also a significant increase in the expression of decapentaplegic homolog 7 (Smad7) protein and a significant decrease in the expression of phosporylated Smad3 protein at each time point.Conclusion:Applying 50Hz, 1mT SEMF has a definite effect in inhibiting HO, at least in rats. It may be related to promoting the expression of Smad7 and inhibiting the phosphorylation of Smad3, thus inhibiting the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway and promoting the restoration of a dynamic balance of MMP-9 with TIMP-1.

ABSTRACT

@#【Objective】To investigate the diagnostic value of multimodal intestinal MRI with routine MRI ,diffusion- weighted imaging(DWI)and multi-phase dynamic enhanced MR scanning by 3D-VIBE sequence in patients with ulcerative colitis(UC).【Methods】Twenty-five patients with UC confirmed by endoscopic biopsy were enrolled. According to the modified Truelove-Witt′s criteria,patients were divided into remission group and active group,and the active group was divided into three subgroups as mild,moderate,and severe. The intestinal wall edema,comb sign,enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes,enhanced degree of intestinal wall,the maximum thickness of intestinal wall and the ADC value of the intestinal wall were observed and measured. The patient′ s C-reactive protein(CRP)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)results were collected to evaluate the diagnostic value.【Results】The sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing the UC activity were not high by using CRP and ESR. There were significant differences in the stratification of intestinal wall edema ,comb sign ,intestinal wall thickness ,and ADC value between the four groups in the UC remission period and active period(P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the four groups in mesenteric lymph nodes enlargement. ADC value had higher diagnostic efficiency for identification the activity group and remission group. Cutoff ADC values for differentiating the activity group and the remission group was calculated as(1.52 ± 0.16)× 10- 3 mm2/s,with 70.8% sensitivity and 79.8% specificity,respectively.【Conclusions】The diagnostic value of multimodal MRI for UC is higher than that of routine MRI,and multimodal MRI has high clinical value.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the expression of the A2A adenosine receptor and the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in human degenerative nucleus pulposus (NP) cells after they have been treated with a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF).@*Methods@#Human degenerative NP cells were cultured in vitro and treated using an 0.8mT PEMF with a pulse frequency of 50Hz. The pulse width was 150μs and the exposure time was 30min, repeated 5 times at 12 hour intervals. The expression of the A2A adenosine receptor in NP cells was determined using western blotting and reverse transcription polymerase chain reactions. The expression of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and TNF-α were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). The human degenerative NP cells were also treated with an antagonist and agonist of the A2A adenosine receptor, and the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α were also determined using ELISA.@*Results@#After the PEMF treatment the expression of the A2A adenosine receptor increased significantly, while the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α decreased significantly. However, the A2A adenosine receptor antagonist reversed the inhibitory effect of the PEMF on the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α, while the agonist played an opposite role.@*Conclusion@#A PEMF can significantly inhibit the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α in human degenerative NP cells, which could be related to up-regulation of the expression of the A2A adenosine receptor in those cells.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the impact of transitional care based on IMB model on caregivers of patients with hematological malignancies.@*Methods@#A total of 200 patients with hematological neoplasms who were treated with chemotherapy in our hospital from May 2017 to September 2018 were selected, their caregivers were also selected as the research objects, and they were randomly divided into the study group with 82 cases and control group with 85 cases. The study group used a transitional care based on IMB model to intervene the patient caregivers, and the control group received routine nursing care. The general data questionnaire, the Caregiver Positive Feeling Scale (PAC), the Chinese version of Benefit Finding Scale (BFS), the nursing quality satisfaction questionnaire were used to investigate the caregivers.@*Results@#After nursing intervention, the self-affirmation and self-expected dimension scores of PAC in the study group were 18.41±5.65, 18.87±4.23, which were higher than those in the control group (14.56±5.83, 15.24±4.59), the difference was statistically significant (t=2.476, 5.287, P<0.05 or 0.01). The acceptance, family relationship, personal growth, social relations and health behaviors dimension scores of BHS scale in the study group were 10.41±3.12, 9.87±3.93, 22.41±5.12, 10.22±3.52, 9.65±3.17, which were higher than those in the control group 9.06±3.87, 8.14±4.19, 19.51±5.24, 8.47±3.61, 7.52±3.74, the difference was statistically significant (t=2.476-3.963, P<0.05 or 0.01). The nursing satisfaction degree of caregivers in the study group was 75.61% (62/82), which was higher than that in the control group 42.35% (36/85), the difference was statistically significant (χ2=19.039, P < 0.01).@*Conclusions@#Transitional care based on the IMB model can improve the positive feelings in hematological neoplasms caregivers, enhance their benefit findings, and improve the quality of nursing care.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The surgical procedure of pedicle screw placement in the lumbar spine requires a long time to confirm the insertion position of the pedicle screw by using X-ray images. The clinical application of computer-aided navigation techniques is limited, due to the high cost of auxiliary navigation system and complicated operation. OBJECTIVE: Based on three-dimensional printing navigation module of lumbar pedicle screw implantation in patients with fracture of lumbar spine, to verify the accuracy and feasibility of the navigation module into lumbar pedicle screws. METHODS: According to CT data of 50 patients with fracture of lumbar vertebra, the data were loaded into Mimics to establish a three-dimensional model of the lumbar spine. On the basis of the established model of pedicle screw navigation module, lumbar entity model and navigation module were made using three-dimensional printing technology. First of all, navigation module was preoperatively embedded in the lumbar spine specimen entity to simulate pedicle screw test. Second, screw navigation module was applied to assist lumbar pedicle screw insertion in lumbar vertebra during the operation. After operation, the effectiveness of the screw implantation was assessed using CT examination and X-ray. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The designed navigation module with 12 pedicle screws was inserted into lumbar vertebra. CT examination showed that screw position was good on the internal side of lumbar pedicle; no screws perforated the pedicle cortex. (2) Experiments showed that the accuracy of pedicle screws inserted into lumbar vertebra was relatively high. The direction and the site of the screws were basically identical to the preoperative simulation results. (3) Based on three-dimensional printing navigation module, the accuracy of pedicle screw implantation into the vertebral vertebra was high, and could realize accurate implantation of individualized pedicle screws. The minimally invasive surgery method is relatively simple and has the very vital significance.

ABSTRACT

Objective To report our experience of breast augmentation patients with fat grafting.Methods The treatment of 560 patients with fat grafting for breast augmentation was summarized in our hospital from Jan.2011 to Dec.2015.Fat was harvested using low negative pressure liposuction technique with 3-hole blunt cannula (diameter 2.5 mm).The fat was managed using cotton pad for concentration of fat tissue and separating them from fluids,oil,and debris.A diameter 2.5 mm,1-hole blunt cannula was used to place the fat through 3-mm incision on inframammary fold,fat grafting with multi-level and multi-tunnel and multi-point injection ways,regularly taking picture for imaging evaluation.Results All patients were successfully performed with breast augmentation,and no severe complications occurred.Grafted fat volume ranged from 180 to 400 ml (average,235 ml) per breast.Most of women had a significant improvement in their breast size and shape postoperatively,and the breasts were soft and natural in appearance.The patients were followed up for 18-24 months,and the outcome were satisfactory.Conclusions Autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation simplifies the operation procedure with satisfied results (natural breast and body contouring) and avoids the complications of breast prosthetic procedures.
