Objective To investigate health beliefs and fluid status in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients, to explore the relation between fluid status and health beliefs in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. Methods The data were collected from the peritoneal dialysis center in Ningxia Medical University General Hospital from January 2014 through January 2015. A total of 64 diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients were recruited and investigated with health beliefs scale, fluid status and laboratory index, the influencing factors were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Levels of perceived barriers in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was the lowest. The score of perceived barriers, levels of albumin and daily water intake in pedal edema diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients were 35.34±10.31, (29.90±4.51) g/L,(860.34±516.71) ml/d, and the results in the non-pedal edema patients were 31.67±12.47, (32.72±6.87) g/L, (872.22±271.85) ml/d, the difference was significant (t=-1.99,2.09,-3.07, P<0.05 or 0.01). Perceived barriers in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients was positively correlated with edematous level (r=0.16,P<0.05) and perceived capacity balancing was negatively correlated with edematous level (r=-0.25,P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that marital status,dialysis age,daily water intake and perceived barriers were the main factors influencing fluid control in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients. Conclusions Fluid control in diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients is affected by their health beliefs, this indicates that diabetic peritoneal dialysis patients must have insufficient awareness of fluid status and fluid adherence. It is suggested that they should establish comprehensive health beliefs.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture on the histopathological changes and serum indexes of rats' liver, and to investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture in treating hepatic fibrosis of rats. Methods: The rat model of hepatic fibrosis was induced with carbon tetrachloride. Then, the rats were divided into electroacupuncture group, medicine group, and model group. The collagen of liver, and serum hyaluronic acid (HA), laminin (LN), procollagen (PⅢNP), and collagen Ⅳ (C-Ⅳ) were detected with morphologic methods and radioimmunoassay. Results: Compared with normal rats, the collagen was hyperplasia in the liver tissue, and the contents of the serum HA, LN, and PⅢ NP were higher in the model group. The collagen area of liver tissue, and the contents of the serum HA, and LN were lower in rats treated with electroacupuncture than model rats. The contents of serum of PⅢ NP, and C-Ⅳ changed little. Conclusion: Electroacupuncture had some effects of prevention and treatment, and the mechanism may relate to the effects of electroacupuncture in protecting liver cells, inhibiting synthesis of extracellular matrix, and promoting the breakup of collagen.

Aim To explore the anti-proliferation effects of curcumin trinicotinate ( CurTn ) on vascular smooth muscle cell ( VSMC ) and its mechanism. Methods The cells were cultured in DMEM supple-mented with 10% fetal bovine serum. MTT assay was used to examine cell proliferation. FCM was used to observe cell cycle. The expressions of PCNA, Cy-clinD1 and p-ERK1/2 were analyzed using Western blot. Results CurTn could inhibit the proliferation of VSMC and showed a certain amount-time relationship. What’ s more, CurTn could increase the G1 phase pro-portion of cell, decrease the S phase proportion and the expression level of PCNA protein. It was also found that CurTn significantly inhibit the protein expression of p-ERK1/2 and Cyclin D1 . Conclusion CurTn may inhibit the proliferation of VSMC via downregulating the expression of CyclinD1 and p-ERK1/2 .

Objective:To investigate the effect of hemoglobin (Hb) volatility on cardiovascular prognosis in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods:Retrospective cohort study was designed. Patients undergoing stable PD for more than 3 months and followed up regularly for at least 1 year were enrolled from May 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014 in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University. According to the Hb variation based on the mean changes in Hb standard deviation at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months over baseline Hb, all patients were divided into low volatility group (≤10 g/L), moderate volatility group (>10-20 g/L) and high volatility group (>20 g/L), and baseline information were compared among these groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression equation were used to analyze the relationship between Hb variation and cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. Besides, the patients were divided into qualified group (Hb≥110 g/L) and substandard group (Hb<110 g/L) by the Hb level at the study endpoint (cardiovascular death and all-cause death) according to KDIGO guidelines and relevant literature. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between Hb variation and cardiovascular death in qualified group or substandard group. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of Hb fluctuation in PD patients.Results:A total of 267 patients were enrolled. There were 160 males (59.93%) in this study. The age was (52.66±13.72) years old, and the median dialysis age was 37(21, 61) months. The patients' baseline Hb (before dialysis) was (80.16±14.89) g/L and at the end of the study Hb was (105.34±22.08) g/L. Body mass index and baseline Hb levels in the high volatility group were lower than those in low volatility group and moderate volatility group (all P<0.05). Both moderate and high volatility groups had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate than that in low volatility group, and high volatility group had higher urea nitrogen level than that in low volatility group (all P<0.05). The amount of erythropoietin usage in the high volatility group was higher than that in moderate volatility group ( P<0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis results showed that there was no significant difference in survival rate for all-cause death (Log-rank χ2=0.735, P=0.693) and cardiovascular death (Log-rank χ2=2.961, P=0.228) in different Hb volatility groups. Cox regression analysis showed that after adjusting for age, sex, serum creatinine, and blood albumin, higher Hb volatility was associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular death ( HR=0.972, 95% CI 0.947-0.999, P=0.040). After adjusting for related confounding factors, higher Hb volatility was still a protective factor for cardiovascular death in the substandard group ( HR=0.946, 95% CI 0.903-0.992, P=0.022), but there was no significant correlation between Hb fluctuation and all-cause death. Multivariate linear regression analysis results showed that the fluctuation level of Hb was positively correlated with Kt/V ( B=4.682, 95% CI 2.480-6.884, P<0.001) and erythropoietin dosages ( B=0.001, 95% CI 0-0.001, P=0.003), and negatively correlated with baseline Hb ( B=-0.554, 95% CI -0.651--0.457, P<0.001). Conclusions:High Hb variability is a protective factor for cardiovascular death in PD patients with lower Hb level (substandard Hb). Adopting a reasonable program to correct anemia timely to reach the standard level has a greater impact on reducing risk of cardiovascular death in PD patients than Hb variation in anemia treatment.

It is believed that Shengyang Yiwei Decoction (升阳益胃汤, SYD) is effective in regulating the flow of Qi (气), and can treat various diseases caused by the disorder of the spleen and stomach Qi. In clinical practice, based on the pathological characteristics of children often having insufficient spleen, and adhering to the principle of treating different diseases with the same method, the focus is placed on the core pathogenesis of spleen and stomach Qi disharmony. We use SYD in various pediatric conditions such as allergic rhinitis, post COVID-19 condition, urethral syndrome, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adolescence, and emphasize the treatment is flexibly tailored to the symptoms.
