Objective To detect the changes of visceral sensitivity in rats presenting intestinal dysbacteriosis and the expressions of tight junction protein (ZO-1)and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)so as to explore the effect of intestinal dysbacteriosis on visceral sensitivity and the possible mechanisms.Methods We randomly divided 30 male SD rats of SPF grade into normal control group (n = 12 )and dysbacteriosis group (n = 18 ).Rats in dysbacteriosis group were administered with lincomycin hydrochloride (300 mg/mL),1 mL each time per rat once a day for 7 consecutive days;those in normal control group were fed with the same amount of saline.On the eighth day,six rats were randomly selected from normal control group and dysbacteriosis group respectively to detect whether the model was successful.After the model was successfully constructed,the remaining 12 dysbacteriosis rats were randomly divided into the negative control group and the probiotics intervention group with 6 in each.Rats in the intervention group were given probiotic bifidobacterium triple viable capsules (Bifico)orally,one capsule with 1/3 mL of saline,1 mL each time per rat once a day for 7 consecutive days;those in the negative control group received the same amount of saline.On the eighth day,fresh feces was cultured for flora to detect visceral sensitivity by abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR),the mRNA and protein expressions of ZO-1 and TLR4 in the colon,and the expression of serum inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TNFα.Results The expression of ZO-1 in the colon was significantly lower in the rats of dysbacteriosis group than those in the control group,and the expression of TLR4 was also significantly increased.Correspondingly,the expression of pro-inflammatory factor TNFα in the serum of the rats in dysbacteriosis group was significantly increased,while that of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was significantly lower than in the control group (P <0.05).Furthermore,compared with dysbacteriosis group,the expression of ZO-1 was increased significantly and TLR4 was decreased in probiotics group in varying degrees. Similarly,the expression of TNFα was obviously lower while that of IL-10 in the serum was higher (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Inhibiting the expression of ZO-1 and increasing the expression of TLR4,thus leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, may be one mechanism of visceral hypersensitivity caused by intestinal dysbacteriosis. Probiotics may restore the dysbacteriosis and thus improve visceral hypersensitivity.

Objective:To explore the effect of continuous nursing on the psychology and quality of life of patients with mild traumatic brain injury.Methods:A review of 120 patients with mild traumatic brain injury who were hospitalized in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2016 to December 2019 were selected. According to the order of admission, sample numbers were drawn from the random number list and entered into groups. There were 60 cases in the control group and the intervention group. The control group received routine general nursing, and the intervention group received continuous nursing. The Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Quality of Life Scale (SF-36) were used to evaluate the psychology and quality of life of patients on the day of discharge and one week, one month, and three months after discharge.Results:There was no significant difference in the scores of HAMA, HAMD and SF-36 between the two groups on the day of discharge ( P>0.05). The HAMA scores at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the intervention of the intervention group were (18.2±8.6), (13.7±5.8) and (5.6±2.3), which were significantly lower than those of the control group (24.2±11.2), (20.4±8.2), (8.9±3.6), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.32, 3.67, 4.13, P<0.05). The HAMD scores at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the intervention of the intervention group were (24.3±7.1), (10.9±4.2), (6.8±2.9), which were significantly lower than those of the control group (28.6±8.5), (15.3±8.3), (14.8±4.6), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.11, 2.57, 7.99, P<0.05). The SF-36 scores at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after the intervention of the intervention group were (77.2±8.9), (85.2±9.7), (87.8±12.9), which were significantly higher than those of the control group (72.3±8.2), (79.4±10.9), (81.0±11.5), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were -2.23, -2.14, -2.13, P<0.05). Conclusions:Continuing care can be extended to the patient's family, so that the health problems faced by the patient after discharge from the hospital can be effectively solved, relieve psychological pressure and improve the quality of life, and it is worthy of clinical application.

This study is to investigate the authenticity between COLD and HOT natural attribute in the famous Chinese medicine formulas--Zuojinwan (Coptis-Evodia 6 : 1) and Fanzuojinwan (Coptis-Evodia 1 : 6) based on mice temperature tropism, and establish an objective method to estimate the difference of two natural attribute by using a cold/hot plate differentiating technology. The results indicated that the COLD nature Zuojinwan could decrease significantly the remaining rate of HOT-symptom rat on warm pad (P < 0.05). That was not notable to COLD-symptom rat. The interference result of COLD-HOT temperature tropism to COLD/HOT symptom rat in Fanzuojinwan was the reverse with the COLD nature Zuojinwan. Meanwhile, biochemical indicators which are relative to energy metabolism such as ATPase enzyme activity and total anti-oxidant capability (T-AOC), had corresponding change in the organism. In the study, the COLD and HOT natural tendency in Zuojinwan and Fanzuojinwan which were composed by the same herbs with different proportion could be expressed qualitatively, quantitatively, objectively and directly with applying animal temperature tropism, and be verified to philosophical idea of treating disease theory with "expelling heat with cold herbs and cryopathy requiring warm prescription", not "expelling heat with heat herbs and cryopathy requiring cold prescription" in ancient traditional Chinese medicine, which brings a new approach in investigation of the nature theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
