Objective To investigate the effects of rhein lysinate (RHL)on the expressions of TNF-α,IL-6 and NF-κB in the kidney tissue of senescence accelerated mouse prone 10 (SAMP 10)mice.Methods We selected 1 8 male mice (SAMP 1 0 )aged 7 months for the study and randomly divided them into blank control group and groups of different concentrations of RHL;six senescence accelerated mouse resistance 1 (SAMR 1 )served as the young control group.After 6 weeks’ treatment,HE staining was used to detect the pathological changes of the kidney.The expressions of TNF-α,IL-6 and NF-κB at the protein level were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting.Results RHL treatment did not affect the body weight of SAMP 10 mice (P>0.05 ). Compared with SAMR 1 mice, contracted and destroyed renal glomeruli and infiltration of mononuclear macrophages were observed in control SAMP10 mice.However,this pathological process was blocked by RHL (25 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg ) treatments. In addition, the overexpressions of TNF-α, IL-6 and NF-κB and the phosphorylation of NF-κB in the kidney tissue of SAMP 10 mice could be inhibited by RHL treatments (P<0.05). Conclusion RHL inhibits the inflammatory reaction of the kidney tissue,which may be one of the mechanisms by which RHL exerts its kidney-protecting and anti-aging effects.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of functional blocking of endogenous miR-23a with a specific antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) on the proliferation and invasiveness of gastric adenocarcinoma cell line MGC803 in vitro.
METHODSA specific ASO targeting miR-23a, namely ASO-23a, was transfected into MGC803 cells to block endogenous miR-23a. The mRNA level of miR-23a in the transfected cells was detected with quantitative real-time PCR. The changes of cell proliferation following the transfection were detected with MTT assay and colony formation assay, and TUNEL assay and Transwell assay were employed to evaluate the changes in cell apoptosis and invasiveness, respectively.
RESULTSQuantitative real-time PCR demonstrated efficient functional blocking of endogenous miR-23a in MGC803 cells by ASO-23a. Suppression of miR-23a with ASO-23a obviously inhibited cell growth, colony formation and invasiveness of MGC803 cells and significantly enhanced the cell apoptosis.
CONCLUSIONASO-23a can efficiently block the function of endogenous miR-23a in MGC803 cells to inhibit cell proliferation and invasion and promote cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effect of empathy nursing on negative emotions and symptoms distress in patients with venous thrombosis .Methods Eighty-two patients with venous thrombosis after the operation were chosen and were divided into the control group and the observation group according to the random number table, each with 41cases.The control group received the conventional nursing , and the observation group received the empathy nursing on the basis of routine nursing .The negative emotions and symptoms distress were evaluated and compared by the self-rating depression scale (SDS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and dialysis symptom index (DSI) between two groups.Results The scores of SAS, SDS, DSI were (36.47 ± 9.76),(33.17 ±11.66),(34.47 ±5.68) in the observation group after the intervention , and were lower than (39.70 ±13.56), (42.99 ±12.50), (38.96 ±5.39) in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (t=-1.797, -3.678, -0.367, respectively;P<0.05).The incidence of symptoms and the degree of symptoms distress were positive correlated with anxiety , depression ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusions The implementation of empathy nursing can in part improve the negative emotion and reduce the symptoms distress in patients with venous thrombosis .
