Objective To explore the effect of relaxation training with listening to music on negative emotions of hemodialysis patients.Methods 70 hemodialysis patients were divided into the intervention group and the control group by random number table,and each group had 35 cases.The control group was given routine care,health education and routine discharge guidance during dialysis by the responsible nurses.The intervention group had relaxation training with listening to music on the basis of routine care.Before the intervention and three months after the intervention the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression was used as an assessment tool to evaluate negative emotion of patients.Results Before intervention,the HAMD scores of the two groups showed no significant differences.3 months after intervention,HAMD scores had significant difference between two groups.Conclusions Relaxation training with listening to music can significantly improve patients' negative emotions,and is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To study the effect of inhibiting the phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) on Th2 cell-mediated airway inflammation and airway remodeling,and to explore the role of STAT3 in the pathophysiology of bronchial asthma.Methods Forty Balb/c mice were randomly divided into control group(n =10),asthma group(n =10),AG490 by intraperitoneal group (n =10),and AG490 by inhalation group (n =10).The mice were sensitized with ovalbumin to establish the asthmatic model.The histological changes were evaluated by means of HE staining,while total broalchial wall thickness(Wat) and smooth muscle thickness(Wam) were measured by using image analysis system.The percentages of collagen deposition were detected by way of Masson's trichrome staining; the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected,the total cell and the cell differentials were counted,the levels of IL-4,IL-5 in BALF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; the lung tissue extracts were analyzed for phosphorylation of STAT3 (p-STAT3) by Western blot.The SPSS 13.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results 1.The histological changes by HE staining showed that less inflammatory cells infiltration in airway and around the pulmonary vascular in AG490 administration groups compared with asthmatic group.Wat,Wam and the percentages of collagen deposition in AG490 administration groups was significantly lower than that in asthmatic group(F =49.5,41.7,58.2,all P < 0.05).2.The level of p-STAT3 in the lung of AG490 administration groups were significantly lower than those in asthmatic group(F =34.17,P < 0.05).3.The total cells and eosinophils amounts in BALF of AG490 administration groups were significantly lower than those in asthmatic group (F =42.5,64.7,all P < 0.05).The levels of IL-4,IL-5 in BALF of AG490 administration groups were significantly lower than those in asthmatic group,respectively (F =39.2,75.1,all P < 0.05).Conclusions STAT3 signaling pathway is pivotal in Th2 cell-mediated airway inflammation and airway remodeling in asthmatic models,and AG490 can ameliorate airway inflammation and airway remodeling efficiently by inhibiting the phosphorylation of STAT3,and targeting this signaling pathway may be a novel therapy for asthma.

Objective To investigate the expression of serum Hsa_circ_0003928 in patients with diabetic foot ulcer(DFU)and its relationship with the severity and prognosis of disease.Methods 113 DFU patients were selected as the study subjects.According to the severity of infection,19 cases were classified into level 1(no infection),40 cases at level 2(mild infection),20 cases at level 3(moderate infection),and 34 cases at level 4(severe infection).According to the prognosis of DFU patients,they were divided into good prognosis group(GP,n=63)and poor prognosis group(PP,n=50).The baseline data and levels of IL-6,C-RP and Hsa_circ_0003928 were compared among the four groups.Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of poor prognosis in patients with DFU.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the value ofHsa_circ_0003928,C-RP and IL-6 in predicting the poor prognosis in DFU patients.Results The DFU duration,infection grade 3~4,serum creatinine,uric acid,BUN,C-RP,IL-6 and Hsa_circ_0003928 levels in PP group were significantly higher than those in GP group(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Grade 3~4 DFU patients had higher Hsa_circ_0003928 expression than grade 1~2(P<0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that long duration of DFU,infection grade 3~4,higher levels of BUN,C-RP,IL-6 and Hsa_circ_0003928 were risk factors for poor prognosis in DFU patients.ROC curve showed that Hsa_circ_0003928 had the greatest AUC(0.882,95%CI 0.819~0.942)in predicting poor prognosis in DFU patients,with sensitivity 87.5%and specificity 85.6%,respectively.Conclusion Elevated Hsa_circ_0003928 is associated with DFU severity and poor prognosis,which has certain predictive value for the prognosis of DFU patients.
