Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2021;37(2):103-108
Objective:To understand the relationship between pain, negative emotions (anxiety and depression), insomnia and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and explore the multiple mediating effects of negative emotions and insomnia on pain and fatigue.Methods:A total of 240 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were selected from Northern Theater General Hospital from October 2018 to January 2019. The general questionnaire, Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Multi-Dimensional Questionnaire,Visual Analogue Scale,The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Asens Insomnia Scale were used to investigate the demographic data, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, respectively. SPSS 20.0 was used for correlation analysis, and Mplus 7.0 was used for mediation analysis.Results:The fatigue score of patients with rheumatoid arthritis was (28.88±14.89), which was moderate. The score of Visual Analogue Scale was 4(2-7), the score of insomnia was 7(3-11), the score of anxiety was 5(3-8), the score of depression was 7(4-11). There was a positive correlation between fatigue and pain, negative emotion and insomnia ( r values were 0.432-0.950, P<0.01). Negative emotions and insomnia had a partial mediating effect between pain and fatigue, with mediating effects accounting for 56.44% of the total effect. Conclusions:The fatigue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is moderate; fatigue is associated with pain, negative emotions, and insomnia; negative emotions and insomnia have multiple mediating effects between pain and fatigue.

Objective: To evaluate effect of the morphology of simulated S-shaped root canals with Reciproc or Mtwo instruments on root canal irrigation. Methods: A total of 40 simulated S-shaped resin blocks were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=20), which was prepared by Reciproc or Mtwo. Blue ink was injected with constant speed and volume into the canals using 30G lateral opening syringe. hTe distance from needle tip to apex and vapor lock length were measured. A type of 25# 0.04 gutta-percha point was used to stir and remove the vapor lock. hTe time for removal of the vapor lock was recorded. Another syringe was used to inject saline into the canals and to measure the length of stagnant water. Results: hTe distance from needle tip to apex in the Reciproc group was signiifcantly longer than that in the Mtwo group [(4.276 ± 0.221) mm vs (3.459 ± 0.205) mm,P<0.05]. The vapor lock length in the Reciproc group was signiifcantly longer than that in the Mtwo group [(4.472 ± 0.230) mm vs (3.668±0.217) mm,P<0.05]. hTe time to remove vapor lock was signiifcantly shorter in the Reciproc group than that in the Mtwo group [(10.13 ± 1.79) s vs (15.29 ± 2.15) s,P<0.05]. The length of stagnant water was also shorter in the Reciproc group than that in the Mtwo group[(1.351 ± 0.142) mm vs (2.245 ± 0.206) mm,P<0.05]. Conclusion: hTe morphology of S-shaped root canal affects the root canal irrigation. hTe effect of root canal irrigated by Reciproc is better than that by Mtwo.

Objective Our aim was to investigate the association between sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL)and mean platelet volume (MPV)values,in order to evaluate the etiology of SSHL.Methods This study included 40 patients with SSHL in our ward between Jan.2012 and Jan.2014 and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were included as controls.The correlation among the levels of the number of platelets,mean plate-let volume(MPV),platelet distribution width (PDW)was evaluated in the two groups.ResuIts The platelet count was significantly lower in the SSHL than the control group(212.0±47.9 versus 237.8±46.2 ×109/L).MPV and PDW were significantly higher in SSHL(10.9±0.8 versus 10.3±0.8 fL;12.9%±2.0% versus 12.0%±1.3 %). The SSHL patients were divided two subgroups:the mild-moderate subgroup (hearing loss 25~70 dB)and the se-vere subgroup(hearing loss≥70 dB).The MPV values were insignificantly different between the two subgroups(11. 0±1.1 fL versus 10.8 ±1.0 fL).Compared to the control group,the two subgroups had both significant differ-ences in MPV.ConcIusion High MPV values are a risk factor for thrombotic vascular diseases.Considering the in-creased MPV levels,SSHL appears to be characterized by ischaemic or thrombotic events.

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical features of OSAHS patients closely associated with supine position. METHODS The clinical data of 105 patients with OSAHS diagnosed by overnight polysomnography(PSG)were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided in two groups: the positional patients(PP)group, those patients who had a apnea-hypopnea index(AHI) that was at least two times higher than the lateral AHI, and the non-positional patients(NPP)group, those patients in whom the AHI in the supine position was two times less than that in the lateral position, and the two groups were compared with age, BMI and the severity of OSAHS. RESULTS The difference of age and BMI were not significant between the two groups[(40.4?10.5)year versus(37.0?10.6) year,(28.2?3.8)kg/m2 versus(29.1?3.0)kg/m2]. There was significantly different in AHI between two groups[(36.8?25.4)/h versus (51.2?29.0)/h ]. AHIsupine and AHInot-supine was significantly different in mild and moderate OSAHS patients [(23.9?13.8) /h versus(12.4?10.1)/h ]. CONCLUSION Mild and moderate OSAHS patients are mainly PP. Positional therapy should play an important role in treatment of mild and moderate patients.

Objective To study the effects of transforming growth factor ?1 (TGF ?1) and transforming growth factor ? (TGF ?) on the growth and invasive potentials in human bladder tumor cells. Methods The effects of TGF ?1 and TGF ? on the growth of EJ cell line and the effects on MMPs and TIMP 2 were studied by means of MTT,Western Blot and RT PCR methods. Results (1)TGF ?1 and TGF ? tended to inhibit the growth of EJ cells but statistically nonsigficant.(2)Higher levles of MMP 9 mRNA but lower levels of MMP 2,TIMP 2,MT1 MMP mRNA were found in EJ cells following the treatment with TGF ?1.The same was true for the expression of MMP 2,TIMP 2 mRNA in TGF ? groups.However,MMP 9 mRNA was not found in both TGF ? groups and the control groups. (3)TGF ?1 ( 0.1 , 1.0 ng/ml) enhanced MMP 2 protein but not the TIMP 2 protein,while TGF ?1 ( 5.0 , 10.0 ng/ml)decreased TIMP 2 protein but not on MMP 2.In TGF ? groups,when the concentration was 1.0 , 5.0 , 10.0 ng/ml,TIMP 2 protein expression was decreased but MMP 2 did not.When the concentration reached 100.0 ng/ml,it increased MMP 2 protein level,not the TIMP 2 protein. Conclusions TGF ?1 and TGF? do not inhibit the proliferation of EJ cells whereas the enhanced invasiveness and metastasis may be associated with regulating the expression of MMPs and TIMP 2.

[Objective]To discuss the anatomy and etiology of cubital tunnel syndrome.[Method]The clinical data and surgical findings of sixty five cubital tunnel syndrome cases were analyzed,and the per-operative electromyogram results of twenty five cases were studied.[Result]Hypertrophy of arcuate ligament resulted in compression and abrasion of ulnar nerve in sixty patients;we found that the ulnar nerve conduct velocity decreased(the average speed was 27.97 m/s),motional amplitude also decreased(the average voltage was 1.95 mv),and latent period prolonged(the average time was 5.41 ms)after pre-operative electromyogram.[Conclusion]The major etiology of cubital tunnel syndrome is chronic injury with sustained compression of ulnar nerve around elbow joint.Careful physical examination of ulnar nerve function and pre-operative electromyogram will help us to diagnose the cubital tunnel syndrome.Cubital tunnel syndrome should be differentiated from tardy ulnar nerve palsy of other sites.

Objective To investigate the effects of clonidine on the visceral pain induced by acute myocardial ischemia. Methods Male SD rats weighing 250-280 g were operated upon under general anesthesia with intraperitoneal methane 1.2 g/kg and local infiltration of the skin incision. After tracheal intubation, the animals were mechanically ventilated (VT = 5-7 ml/kg, RR = 75 bpm). The anterior descending branch of left coronary artery was occluded with a snare through the left 4 th intercostal space. The animals were then fastened to a brain stereotaxic instrument and a burr hole was made in the skull. A glass micro-electrode was inserted into the brain. The discharges of noxious stimulation responding neuron (NSRN) in parafascicular nucleus were recorded. Twenty-four rats detected NSRN showed response to coronary artery occlusion (CAO) were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each): group Ⅰ CAO + normal saline 0.1 ml; group Ⅱ CAO + elonidine 30 μg; group Ⅲ CAO + clanidine 100 μg; group Ⅳ CAO + clonidine 100 μg + yohimbine (an α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist) 200 μg. In group Ⅳ , clonidine was administered intravenously 15 min after CAO, and then yohimbine was injected intravenously 15 min later. The discharges of NSRN were recorded every 5 min for 60 min from the beginning of CAO. Results Clonidine 100 μg significantly inhibited the increased frequency of nociceptive discharge rate of NSRN after CAO. However, this effect could be blocked by the α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist yohimbine.Conclusion Clonidine 100 μg can reduce the visceral pain induced by acute myocardial ischemia through activiting α2-adrenergic receptor.
