SD rats were injected with streptozotocin and fed with high fat diet,used as type 2 diabetic model. Transcription factor Fox01 [in nucleus (15.00±1. 15 vs 6.45±0. 62) %, P<0.05], Caspase-3 [(23.73 ±1.48 vs 6.30±2.20)% ,P<0.01] expressions in pancreatic istet β cells and the positive rate of islet β cells apoptosis[(22.29±1.84 vs 6.25±2.42) %, P<0.01] in diabetic rats were higher than those of control rats. The islet cells which highly expresed Fox01 (in nucleus)and caspase-3 were just the apoptotic islet cells. Therefore,Fox01 may be involved in regulating apoptosis of islet β cells in type 2 diabetes.

BACKGROUND:Reactive oxygen species may be closely related to the occurrence and development of tendinopathy,but its exact role and related signal transduction mechanism have not been fully summarized. OBJECTIVE:To review current clinical or preclinical original studies,summarize the role of reactive oxygen species in tendinopathy and related signal transduction pathways and to explore its characteristics and whether there is a unified downstream pathway. METHODS:Relevant original studies in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,as well as CNKI,WanFang,and VIP databases were searched by computer and the search results were screened and excluded according to the inclusion criteria.Ninety articles were finally included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Reactive oxygen species affects the direction of tendon healing by simultaneously acting on tendon cells and the extracellular matrix,and it exhibits a bifacial effect in the treatment of tendinopathy.Concentration of reactive oxygen species may be the key to determining its direction of action.The possibility that low-dose reactive oxygen species can participate in the normal physiological healing of tendons or that tendon tissues are adaptive to stimulations may be the underlying mechanism that produces this characteristic effect.Reactive oxygen species affect the composition and structure of the extracellular matrix and normal tendon repair as well as maintain viability in response to external stimulations through matrix metalloproteinases,mitogen-activated protein kinases,mitochondrial apoptosis,the forkhead transcription factor O family,autophagy,inflammation,and antioxidant signaling pathways.Different reactive oxygen species stimulation intensities,durations,and external environments may cause different alterations in downstream molecular pathways and thus have different effects on the tendon.Due to the large gap in the number of literature included in the evaluation of the positive and negative effects of reactive oxygen species,it may cause some analytical error in the search for factors behind the characteristics of the action of reactive oxygen species in tendon.In addition,most experimental intervention conditions and results of interest are relatively homogeneous;therefore,the temporal and quantitative mechanisms of reactive oxygen species and the synergistic effects with other intervention factors have not been clarified,and the overall system of molecular actions of reactive oxygen species in tendinopathy has not been constructed.To conclude,reactive oxygen species might be involved in the treatment and prevention of tendinopathies as a beneficial factor in the future,and facilitate the exploration of oxidative stress signaling pathways and overall molecular action systems in tendinopathies thereafter,as well as lay the foundation for research on the therapeutic strategies of different antioxidants in tendinopathies to better prevent and treat tendon injury and degeneration.

Objective:To design a virtual simulation tutorial system for bone traction nursing of the lower limbs, and to investigate its application effect.Methods:Based on clinical cases, a 3D model was established for the fractured lower limb using the virtual simulation technique. The design of the model considered the position and mechanical relationship between bone traction and fracture ends, as well as the assessment and intervention of the condition after bone traction, and such factors were taken as the core elements of simulation design. Virtual experiments were conducted for the four scenarios of pre-hospital first aid, triage in the hospital, bone traction operation, and postoperative nursing. Such experiments were conducted among junior nursing undergraduates, and examination results and student satisfaction survey were used to evaluate the application effect of the experiments.Results:The teaching software consisted of four training modules, i.e., theoretical knowledge learning of fractures, preparation before bone traction operation, methods and principles of bone traction operation, and observation of conditions after bone traction. The final score of experiments was (90.99±0.58) points among the students, and the degree of satisfaction with the experimental system and the teaching model was 87.85% (441/502) and 63.35% (318/502), respectively.Conclusions:The virtual simulation experiments for bone traction nursing of the lower limbs are scientific, professional, and interesting and have a relatively high degree of satisfaction among students, and therefore, they can be applied in the education of nursing students and the continuing education of nurses.
