1.Qualitative research of medication compliance on corticosteroids in patients with interstitial lung disease
Modern Clinical Nursing 2016;15(3):63-66
Objective To investigate the influencing factors of medication compliance of glucocorticoid for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). Method The outline in-depth interviews with 15 patients with ILD was done using content analysis method, and the influence factors of patients medication compliance were analyzed. Result The influence factors of medication compliance in ILD patients can be summarized as the following three themes: patients′individual factors, factors related to medical and absence of social and family support. Conclusion Nurses should master the influencing factors of hormone medication adherence in ILD patients, ready to take appropriate intervention measures, improve the medication compliance in patients with ILD hormone and promote their rehabilitation.

ObjectiveTo assess the impact of intense pulsed light (IPL) on the dermatopathological manifestation in a Bama miniature pig model of steroid-induced dermatitis.MethodsFive female Bama miniature pigs aged two months were selected.The white skin areas with white hair at both sides of the neck served as the target area.Halometasone(0.05%) cream was applied to the right target area twice daily for 60 days to establish a model of steroid-induced dermatitis.Then,3 pigs were randomly selected and irradiated with IPL of 25 J/cm2 at the model area with an interval of 3 weeks for 9 weeks,the remaining 2 pigs receiving no treatment served as the natural recovery group.Finally,skin tissues were obtained from the left and right target areas and subjected to haematoxylin and eosin staining for the observation of histopathological changes.ResultsA significant increase was observed in the layer number of keratinocytes and thickness of dermal collagen fiber in the IPL-treated pigs compared with the pigs in natural recovery group (6.27 ± 1.26 vs.2.98 ±0.92,t =3.27,P< 0.01; 1.88 ± 0.19 mm vs.0.84 ± 0.15 mm,t =4.25,P< 0.01).Moreover,IPL irradiation resulted in the regression of telangiectasis in the dermis.ConclusionIPL may increase skin thickness,relieve flushing and improve skin elasticity efficiently.

Objective To compare and analyze the surgical and non-surgical treatment results of hypertensive cerebrat hemorrhage.Methods 29 vases of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage patients are randomly divided into two groups:13 cases were treated by surgical treatment,and 16 cases were treated by medicine treatment.Results In surgical group,dead 3 cases,plant survival 5 eases,death disablity rate is 62%;and in non-surgical group:dead 1 case,plant survival 5 eases,death disablity rate is 44%.Conclusion There is no significant difierence between surgical and non-surgical treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.It should be thought more to use surgical treatment on hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To explore the association of single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) in TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522) locus with thyroid cancer risk in human. Methods Articles involved in the association between SNP in TP53 Arg72Pro ( rs1042522) locus and thyroid cancer risk were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases, and studies which met the inclusion criteria were included. The meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and the assessment of publication-bias were performed by Stata 14. 0 software. The odds ratio ( OR) and their corresponding 95% Confidence Intervals ( CI) were used to determine the strength of association between SNP in TP53 Arg72Pro locus and thyroid cancer risk. Results Thirteen case-control studies were eligible for this meta-analysis, including 2112 thyroid cancer cases and 4000 control subjects. Overall, mutated homozygous genotype ( Pro/Pro) in TP53 Arg72Pro ( rs1042522) locus was associated with significantly increased thyroid cancer risk(Recessive model, OR=1.78, 95%CI 1.24-2.56, P=0.002), showing a significantly higher Pro mutation frequency among thyroid cancer patients ( Allelic model, OR=1. 35, 95% CI 1. 12-1. 63, P=0.002). In the stratified analysis, mutated homozygous genotype (Pro/Pro) in TP53 Arg72Pro (rs1042522) locus was only asscociated with significantly increased thyroid cancer risk among Asians, but not among Europeans and South Americans;mutated homozygous genotype ( Pro/Pro) in TP53 Arg72Pro ( rs1042522) locus was asscociated with significantly increased risk of papillary thyroid carcinomas ( PTC) among total population, but not medullary thyroid carcinomas. Conclusion There is a significant association between TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphism in TP53 and thyroid cancer risk, and the mutated homozygous genotype ( Pro/Pro) in this locus of TP53 maybe a risk factor for thyroid carcinoma among Asians.

Gastrointestinal mucositis is one of the most debilitating side effects of the chemotherapeutic agent irinotecan (CPT-11). Andrographolide, a natural bicyclic diterpenoid lactone, has been reported to possess anti-colitis activity. In this study, andrographolide treatment was found to significantly relieve CPT-11-induced colitis in tumor-bearing mice without decreasing the tumor suppression effect of CPT-11. CPT-11 causes DNA damage and the release of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) from the intestine, leading to cyclic-GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)‒stimulator of interferon genes (STING)-mediated colitis, which was significantly decreased by andrographolide both in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistic studies revealed that andrographolide could promote homologous recombination (HR) repair and downregulate dsDNA‒cGAS‒STING signaling and contribute to the improvement of CPT-11-induced gastrointestinal mucositis. These results suggest that andrographolide may be a novel agent to relieve gastrointestinal mucositis caused by CPT-11.
