ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) chronic disease management programme in preventing postoperative recurrence of colorectal polyps. MethodsThe clinical data of 447 postoperative colorectal polyp patients were retrospectively collected, and the patients were divided into an exposure group and a control group taking the acceptance of TCM chronic disease management programme as exposure factor, and the polyp recurrence rate as the main outcome indicator, comparing the differences in baseline characteristics, outcome events, and safety assessment between the two groups, and conducting correlation analysis between the length of medication and polyp recurrence. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyse the effects of receiving the TCM chronic disease management programme (TCM treatment and life management for spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome, dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome, and intestinal dampness and heat syndrome), gender, age, co-morbidities, TCM syndrome, and dietary and exercise factors on the outcome events. ResultsAmong 257 postoperative patients with colorectal polyps, there were 172 in the exposure group and 85 in control group. The recurrence rate of polyps in exposure group was 22.7% (39/172), while the recurrence rate in control group was 57.6% (49/85), and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). The diameter of recurrent polyps in exposure group (median= 4.0 mm) was smaller than that in control group (median= 5.0 mm, P<0.01). The correlation analysis between the duration of medication taking and the recurrence of polyps in the spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome group showed Phi value as -0.345 (P<0.001); the correlation analysis within the group of dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome showed Phi value as -0.361 (P<0.05), indicating a negative correlation between the duration of medication taking and polyp recurrence. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the positive effect of accepting TCM chronic disease management programme on preventing polyp recurrence is statistically significant (OR=0.224, P<0.01). ConclusionAccepting TCM chronic disease management programme for colorectal polyps can help reducing the recurrence rate after polyp surgery, which is a protective factor for patients to the outcome event.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Wendantang on the expression of inflammatory cytokines, autophagy markers, and key molecules of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway in the adipocytes of the rat model of obesity (syndrome of phlegm-dampness) and to explore the material basis of inflammation in obesity (syndrome of phlegm-dampness) and the underlying mechanism of Wendantang intervention. MethodA total of 126 SD rats were randomized into 2 groups: 16 rats in the blank group and 110 rats in the modeling group. The blank group was fed with a basic diet while the modeling group with a high-fat diet to establish the animal model of obesity (syndrome of phlegm-dampness) for 8 weeks. After successful modeling, 48 obese rats were selected according to their body mass and randomized into a model control group, an orlistat (ORLI, 32.40 mg·kg-1) group, a rapamycin (RAPA, 2 mg·kg-1) group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose (4.45, 8.90, 17.80 g·kg-1, respectively) Wendantang groups, with 8 rats in each group. In addition, 8 rats were randomly selected from the blank group to be set as the normal control group. The corresponding agents in each group were administrated by gavage and the model and control groups were administrated with equal amounts of distilled water once daily for 6 weeks. The body mass, Lee's index, body fat ratio, and obesity rate were measured or calculated. The expression of UNC51-like kinase-1 (ULK1), Beclin1, human autophagy-related protein 5 (Atg5), p62, and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) Ⅰ/Ⅱ (markers of autophagy in adipocytes) was detected by the immunohistochemical two-step method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to determine the expression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β in adipocytes. Western blot was employed to measure the protein levels of classⅠ-PI3K, phosphatidylinositol triphosphate (PIP3), Akt, mTORC1, ULK1, TSC1, and TSC2 in adipocytes. ResultCompared with the blank group, the modeling group showed increased body mass and Lee's index (P<0.01), the obesity rate >20%, and phlegm-dampness syndrome manifestations such as physical obesity, decreased mobility, decreased appetite, lusterless and tight fur, loose stools, decreased responsiveness to the outside world, and decreased water intake. Compared with the normal control group, the model control group showed increased body mass, Lee's index, body fat ratio, adipocyte autophagy marker expression, pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated protein levels of classⅠ-PI3K, PIP3, Akt, mTORC1, TSC1, and TSC2 (P<0.01), and up-regulated protein level of ULK1 (P<0.01). The intervention groups showed lower body mass, body fat ratio, adipocyte autophagy marker protein expression, and protein levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β, MCP-1, IL-4, and IL-13 than the model control group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Moreover, the RAPA and Wendantang (medium and high dose) groups showed lowered levels of IL-10 and TGF-β (P<0.01), and the ORLI group showed down-regulated expression of TGF-β (P<0.01). The expression of key molecules of the signaling pathway was up-regulated (P<0.05, P<0.01) while that of ULK1 was down-regulated (P<0.01) in all the intervention groups. Compared with the RAPA group, the Wendantang groups showed up-regulated expression of all autophagy marker proteins in adipocytes (P<0.01). In addition, the low-dose Wendantang group showed elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines (except TNF-α) (P<0.05, P<0.01) and down-regulated expression of all key molecules of the signaling pathway (P<0.05, P<0.01). The levels of inflammatory cytokines (except IL-16, MCP-1, and IL-10) were elevated in the medium-dose Wendantang group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expression of key molecules except PI3K of the signaling pathway was down-regulated in the medium- and high-dose Wendantang groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the ORLI group, low- and medium-dose Wendantang groups showed up-regulated expression of autophagy markers in adipocytes (P<0.01), and the low-dose group showed elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-4, and TGF-β) (P<0.01) and down-regulated expression of all key molecules of the signaling pathway (P<0.01). The medium-dose Wendantang group showed up-regulated expression of IL-4 (P<0.01) and down-regulated expression of key molecules except PI3K of the signaling pathway (P<0.05, P<0.01). The high-dose Wendantang group showed increased body mass, up-regulated expression levels of autophagy markers (ULK1, LC3 Ⅰ/Ⅱ) (P<0.05, P<0.01), down-regulated expression of PIP3, mTORC1, and TSC1 (P<0.05, P<0.01), and lowered levels of Beclin1, Atg5, TNF-α, and IL-13 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionThe inflammation in obesity (syndrome of phlegm-dampness) is closely associated with the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-mediated adipocyte autophagy. Wendantang can treat the chronic inflammation in obese rats with the syndrome of phlegm-dampness by regulating this signaling pathway and thus improve adipocyte autophagy.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of cellulift ? administered intradermally by mesotherapy on collagen synthesis in D-galactose induced aging model of rats. Methods:The study was conducted between April and October in 2014 in the Department of Anatomy, Qindao University. 30 male rats were randomly allocated to three groups: aging treatment group, aging control group and normal group; each group had ten rats. Aging treatment group and the control group were subcutaneously injected with D-galactose prepared in saline 125 mg·kg -1·d -1 for 42 day. Normal group was injected with saline for 42 d with same method and dose. From the 18th day after shaving their hair, the dermis of two sides hip skin marked zone of aging treatment group were injected cellulift at a dose of 1 ml per week for 4 weeks. Meanwhile, the aging control group was administrated the same volume of saline with same method. In vivo skin collagen alterations were investigated by reflectance confocal microscopy 3 days after every treatment. Skin specimens were obtained in 42 days. In order to measure the dermal collagen density and dermal thickness, HE and Masson trichrome staining were performed, respectively. Immunohistochemical staining for TGFβ1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was performed. Also, the level of TGFβ1, Smad3, types Ⅰ and Ⅲ pro-collagen mRNA expression was assessed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results:As revealed by RCM, collagen density of aging treatment group increased gradually after treatments, while in aging control group it decreased with time. Measurement of dermal thickness, hydroxyproline content and TGFβ-1 mRNA and protein expression in treatment group increased significantly as compared with that in aging control group, but were significantly lower than that in normal group (F values were 25.45, 98.90, 37.94 and 21.35, respectively; P<0.05). Measurement of dermal collagen density, the mRNA expression of type I pre-collagen and Smad3 elevated over that of aging control group with significant difference (F values were 44.46, 29.54 and 10.01, respectively; P<0.05), and there was no difference between normal and aging treatment group ( P>0.05). The difference of PCNA expression between aging control and treatment groups was not significant ( P>0.05), and both were lower than normal group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Cellulift ? shows anti-aging effects by activating collagen synthesis and eventually causing dermal thickening. This effect is probably mediated by TGF-β1/Smad3 signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationships between occupational coping self-efficacy, job stress and core competence of nurses. Methods A total of 493 registered nurses were recruited in the survey with the Chinese nurse job stressors scale, occupational coping self-efficacy scale for nurses and competency inventory for registered nurse (CIRN). The correlations were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis. Results The total scores on occupational coping self-efficacy, job stress of nurses and core competence of nurses were (31.94 ± 6.39), (90.29 ± 17.41) and (159.93 ± 34.31), respectively. Nurses′occupational coping self-efficacy negatively correlated with (r=-0.267, P<0.01) and positively correlated with the core competence of nurses (r=0.355, P<0.01). Conclusions The occupational coping self-efficacy of the nurses can be improved by successful experiencing, verbal persuasion and positive feedback. In this way, nurses core competence can be enhanced and their job stress can be relieved and consequently the quality of nursing can be enhanced.
