Objective:To investigate the effect of Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on perceived stress and mental state of patients with in vitro fertilization.Methods:83 cases women who were assisted reproduction with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in our hospital from May 2014 to December 2016 were selected as research objects.All the subjects were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number table method,with 41 cases in the control group and 42 cases in the observation group.Patients in the control group were given routine comprehensive nursing intervention,while the observation group was given MBSR intervention on the basis of the control group.The scores of self rating depression scale (SDS),self rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Chinese perceived stress scale (CPSS) before and after the intervention in the two groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference in SDS score,SAS score and CPSS score between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05).The scores of SDS,SAS and CPSS in observation group after intervention were (43.53± 4.89),(42.38± 4.34) and (27.53± 4.89),which were lower than (57.96± 7.30),(56.42± 5.49),(37.96± 7.30) before intervention,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The scores ofSDS,SAS and CPSS in control group after intervention were (51.13± 5.52),(51.13± 5.52) and (31.13± 5.52),which were lower than (58.83± 7.28),(56.45± 5.51),(38.83± 7.28) before intervention,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).And those scores in were lower in observation group than in control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion:MBSR intervention can effectively improve the anxiety,depression and perceived stress of patients with in vitro fertilization,which is helpful in improving the success rate of IVF-ET,and it is worthy of clinical application.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of telmisartan on expression of resistin in serum and liver under conditions of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and insulin resistance using a rat model system.
METHODSForty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC, n=10), a model control group (MC, n=15), a polyene phosphatidylcholine prevention group (PP, n=10), and a telmisartan prevention group (TP, n=10). The NC group was given a standard diet and the other groups were given a high-fat diet for 16 weeks in order to induce NASH. At the end of week 12, 5 rats in the MC group were sacrificed for pathology confirmation of the NASH model. At the end of week 12, the TP group was given telmisartan (8.0 mg/kg/d) and the PP group was given polyene phosphatidylcholine (8.4 mg/kg/d) for an additional 4 weeks by intragastric administration. At the end of week 16, all rats were sacrificed and body weights recorded. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), resistin, insulin and fasting blood glucose were measured. The insulin resistance value, HOMA-IR, was assessed by homeostasis mode assessment. Liver expression of the resistin protein was detected by western blotting and of the resistin mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The F test and LSD test were used for statistical analyses.
RESULTSCompared to the NC group, the body weight and HOMA-IR of rats in the MC group were significantly increased (P<0.01). The levels of serum resistin, and of resistin protein and mRNA in liver, were significantly higher in the MC group than in the NC group of rats (all P less than 0.01). The body weight of rats in the TP group was significantly lower than those in the MC group (P<0.05). The levels of serrn resistin, resistin protein and mRNA in the liver, and insulin resistance were significantly lower in the TP group than in the MC group of rats (all P<0.01). The PP group did not show significant differences in any of these measures, except for loss of body weight (P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONTelmisartan elicits preventive and protective effects in a NASH rat model.Telmisartan may improve insulin resistance in NASH rats by decreasing the expression of serum resistin, and liver resistin protein and mRNA.

Objective:To explore the mechanism of Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction in treatment of cerebral infarction based on network pharmacology and molecular docking.Methods:The active components and action targets of Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction were screened by using Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP),Traditional Chinese Medicine Integrated Database (TCMID),Bioactivity data of small organic molecules (PubChem),Universal Protein (Uniprot) and Swiss Target Prediction database platform. The databases of GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), and Drug Bank and Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB) were used to screen targets of cerebral infarction. The drug target genes in Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction were intersected with those of cerebral infarction, the intersecting targets were introduced into Cytoscape 3.8.2 software to construct the component target network, and the PPI protein interaction network was constructed by using STRING analysis platform and Cytoscape 3.8.2 software to screen the core targets. Gene Ontology (GO) function enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) function enrichment analysis were carried out on the common target genes of Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction and cerebral infarction disease to obtain the relevant signal pathways. Finally, AutoDock and Pymol software were used for molecular docking between the predicted target and its corresponding components.Results:After screening, 80 effective components of Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction for treatment of cerebral infarction and 214 common targets of Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction and cerebral infarction were obtained. The core targets such as MAPK1, RELA, TP53, JUN, AKT1 and HSP90AA1 were related to the key targets of cerebral infarction, and they participated in the biological process of regulating the response to drugs, lipopolysaccharide and oxygen level, etc. The cell composition involved membrane raft, membrane micro region and nerve cell body, etc. Molecular functions mainly focused on nuclear receptor activity, ligand activated transcription factor activity, DNA binding transcription factor binding, etc.; it also involved in signal pathway of lipid and atherosclerosis, chemical carcinogen and receptor activation, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, etc. Molecular docking showed that good binding activities were seen between Quercetin and HSP90AA1 (-9.4 kJ/mol), between Kaempferol and HSP90AA1 (-9.4 kJ/mol), between Isorhamnetin and HSP90AA1 (-9.1 kJ/mol), and between Quercetin and JUN (-8.6 kJ/mol).Conclusion:Fuyuan Xingnao Decoction can prevent and treat cerebral infarction by regulating vascular endothelial function, promoting blood circulation, repairing and improving neural function, protecting blood-brain barrier, reducing cell apoptosis, and regulating immune and inflammatory response.
