Objective:To systematically evaluate the effect of early ambulation on the rehabilitation of patients after hepatectomy.Methods:Computer was used to search randomized controlled trial (RCT) literature on the effect of early ambulation on the rehabilitation of patients after hepatectomy in Chinese and English databases, such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) , Wanfang Data, VIP, China Biology Medicine, Ovid, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library. The retrieval time was from the establishment of database to May 10, 2020. RevMan 5.3 software was used to conduct Meta-analysis on literature that met the inclusion criteria.Results:A total of 8 RCT articles were included, with a total sample size of 936 cases, including 474 cases in intervention group (early ambulation) and 462 cases in control group (routine activity care) . The results of the systematic review showed that compared with control group, intervention group shorted the first exhaust time [weighted mean difference ( WMD) =-21.01, 95% confidence interval ( CI) (-25.98, -16.04) , P<0.05]and first defecation time [ WMD=-31.97, 95% CI (-54.69, -9.25) , P<0.05]after surgery, decreased gastrointestinal discomfort [relative risk ( RR) =0.44, 95% CI (0.34, 0.56) , P<0.05]and complications [ RR=0.76, 95% CI (0.56, 1.02) , P<0.05]after surgery, and had earlier time to early ambulation [ WMD=-20.64, 95% CI (-21.71, -19.56) , P<0.05], the differences were statistically significant. Conclusions:It is safe and effective to implement early ambulation in patients after hepatectomy, which is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function of patients, reduces the occurrence of gastrointestinal discomfort and complications, and promotes the recovery of patients.

Objective To investigate the influence of family resilience on patients with ischemic stroke and provide references for promoting positive handling of patients and the family adaptation.Methods Objective sampling was employed to conduct the semi-structured interviews among 20 patients with ischemic stroke in a Grade ⅢA hospital in Hunan Province between June and September 2021.The data acquired from the interviews were analysed and summarised following Colaizzi analysis method.Results A total of three themes with 10 dimensions were extracted,including promoting post-traumatic growth of patients with 3 dimensions(accepting and attaching importance to the disease to develop a right recognition of the disease,enhancing the will to combat the disease and increasing rehabilitative awareness to develop a healthy life style,cultivating spiritual believes to increase the sense of adversity;stabilising family function and providing emotional support with 4 dimensions in creating safe and satisfactory family settings,facilitating active communications among family members to jointly make decisions fighting against the disease,optimising the roles of family members,and fortifying the cohesion among family members;and proving spiritual comfort and material support with 3 dimensions of providing mutual support among family members to reduce the costs of treatment,improving family intimacy and adaptive support to reduce negative emotions,and seeking support from society to reduce financial burdens.Conclusions Family resilience brings influences to the patients with ischemic stroke from multiple perspectives.It can promote post-traumatic growth,stabilise family functions,provide emotional support,and provide spiritual consolation as well as financial support.Therefore,healthcare workers should enhance the family resilience and ensure the role of family functions to promote an early recovery of patients.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of herpesvirus DNA in the corneal layers of herpesvirus-positive corneal transplantation patients and to compare the efficiency of viral DNA detection in corneal and aqueous humor samples in these patients.Methods:A diagnostic test study was conducted.Data from patients, who underwent keratoplasty in Peking University Third Hospital from May 2015 to August 2021 and tested positive for herpesvirus in corneal tissue and/or aqueous humor samples obtained during surgery, were collected through the clinical medical record system.The demographic data and virus distribution layers of these patients were analyzed.The rate of herpesvirus detection in different samples was analyzed.The sensitivity of different samples for viral DNA detection was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic curves, and area under the curve (AUC) and 95% confidence interval ( CI) were recorded.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki and the study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Peking University Third Hospital (No.M2021283).Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before entering the cohort. Results:A total of 166 herpesvirus-positive patients (166 eyes) were collected.Of the 166 eyes, 75 eyes (45.2%) were positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV), 34 eyes (20.5%) for herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), 30 eyes (18.1%) for varicella zoster virus (VZV), and 27 eyes (16.3%) for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).CMV DNA and VZV DNA were detected in the endothelial layers of 47 eyes (62.7%) and 26 eyes (86.7%), respectively, which were significantly higher than the 28 eyes (37.3%) and 4 eyes (13.3%) with virus located in stromal layers ( χ2=4.813, 16.133; both at P<0.05).HSV-1 DNA and EBV DNA were detected in the endothelial layer of 8 eyes (23.5%) and 5 eyes (18.5%), respectively, which were less than the 26 eyes (76.5%) and 22 eyes (81.5%) with virus located in stromal layers, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=9.529, 10.704; both at P<0.001).The sensitivity of corneal samples for herpesvirus DNA positivity was 71.6%, which was higher than 54.1% of aqueous humor.The detection sensitivities of corneal samples for CMV DNA and VZV DNA positivity were 64.3%(AUC=0.821, 95% CI: 0.705-0.938) and 35.7%(AUC=0.679, 95% CI: 0.475-0.882), respectively, which were lower than 71.4%(AUC=0.875, 95% CI: 0.750-0.964) and 85.7%(AUC=0.929, 95% CI: 0.816-1.000) of aqueous humor samples.The detection sensitivities of corneal samples for HSV-1 DNA and EBV DNA were 100%(AUC=1.000, 95% CI: 1.000-1.000) and 92.3%(AUC=0.962, 95% CI: 0.875-1.000), respectively, which were higher than 27.8%(AUC=0.639, 95% CI: 0.455-0.823) and 23.1%(AUC=0.615, 95% CI: 0.395-0.835) of aqueous humor samples. Conclusions:The detection rate of CMV DNA is highest among herpesvirus-positive keratoplasty patients.CMV DNA and VZV DNA are primarily located in the corneal endothelial layers, while HSV-1 DNA and EBV DNA are more predominant in the corneal stromal layer.The sensitivity of virus DNA detection is higher in the cornea than in aqueous humor.

ObjectiveTo explore the action mechanism of Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang on the treatment of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice. MethodTraditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), GeneCards, DisGeNET, and Herb databases were combined with clinical data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) to screen the key targets of Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang in the treatment of ALI. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to screen the core targets, and gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were performed. The mouse ALI model was established by LPS induction to verify the effect and key targets of Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang on the treatment of ALI. The expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear transcription factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65), and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 (NF-κB p-p65) in lung tissue were detected by Western blot. ResultThe analysis showed that the treatment of ALI with Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang was related to 10 core targets such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and JUN, involving TNF signaling pathway, Toll-like receptor signaling pathway, NF-κB signaling pathway, etc. The animal experimental results show that Linggan Wuwei Jiangxintang can reduce lung injury, improve the pathological state of ALI mice, significantly reduce the expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum, increase the activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and catalase (CAT) in lung tissue, and reduce the expression levels of JUN, TLR4, NF-κB p65, and NF-κB p-p65 proteins in lung tissue. ConclusionLinggan Wuwei Jiangxintang can inhibit LPS-induced inflammation and oxidative damage in ALI mice, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and the reduction of inflammatory factors such as TNF-α and IL-6.
