Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2009;25(34):8-11
Objective To application of solution focused approach in the functional gastrointestinal disorders.Methods 64 hospitalized clients with functional gastrointestinal disorders were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 32 cases in each group.We applied the normal nursing intervention to the control group,while applied the solution focused approach to the observation group.The anxiety and depression score,score of coping way and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated using t test.Results The scores of anxiety and depression,coping way and gastrointestinal symptoms were better in the observation group than those in the control group.Conclusions Adoption of solution focused approach can relieve FGID sufferers'negative emotion,such as anxiety and depression,increase sufferers' coping capacity and symptoms,which demonstrate pivotal significance for rehabilitation of functional gastrointestinal disorders.

BACKGROUND: It has been thought that posterior cervical decompression increases the risk of cervical instability and the stress on posterior longitudinal ligament may change growth factor expression in vivo. However, the association between BMP-4 expression and heterotopic bone formation has not been confirmed. Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) is one of factors that can lead to heterotopic bone formation alone.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of posterior cervical decompression on BMP-4 mRNA expression in the posterior longitudinal ligament.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A randomized controlled animal experiment was performed in Taishan Medical College between January 2005 and December 2006.MATERIALS: A total of 48 adult Sprague Dawley rats of either gender and of clean grade, weighing 270-350 g, were included in this study.METHODS: All rats were randomly and evenly divided into 3 groups: experimental, sham-operated, and blank control. In the experimental group, C36 laminectomy for decompression was performed.In the sham-operated group: only skin incision was made. Rats in the blank control group received no any treatment. Four rats were allocated for each time point (1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks post-surgery) for harvesting posterior longitudinal ligament.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Detection of BMP-4 mRNA expression in the cervical posterior longitudinal ligament by semi-quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.RESULTS: In the experimental group, obvious BMP-4 mRNA expression was found at 1-8 weeks post-surgery. While no BMP-4 mRNA expression was found at all times in the sham-operated and blank control groups.CONCLUSION: Posterior cervical decompression can increase BMP-4 mRNA expression in the posterior longitudinal ligament.Endogenous BMP-4 may contribute to ligamentous ossification and development post-surgery.

AIM: To investigate the effects of leptin (LEP) on the alveolar type Ⅱ cells(AECⅡ) apoptosis induced by Na2S2O4 and explore the molecular mechanisms. METHODS: Primary AECⅡ culture was prepared according to a specific immunosorption procedure with slight modification and the cells were identified by transmission electron microscope and immunocytochemistry. AECⅡ damage was induced by 5 mmol/L Na2S2O4. LEP group cells were treated with LEP at concentrations from 100 ?g/L to 1 600 ?g/L. The cell survival rate was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry and the level of caspase-3 was measured by Western blotting. RESULTS: Highly purified AECⅡ, obtained by the method of modified immunosorption, were identified with the positive expression of SP-A and intracellular lamellarbodies were found under electron micrography. The cells, exposed to 5 mmol/L Na2S2O4, showed characteristic changes of apoptosis and activation of caspase 3. These damages were relieved by the treatment of LEP (100-1 600 ?g/L), with survival increasing, apoptosis peak decreasing, cell morphology restoring and caspase 3 activation inhibiting.CONCLUSION: Leptin prevents AECⅡ from apoptosis induced by Na2S2O4 or hypoxia. The potential mechanism of its action may be related to promoting cell cycle from G1 phase to S phase and inhibiting the activating of caspase 3.

Objective: To explore the mechanism of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases and the levels of plasma lipids and oxidized lowdensity lipoprotein(Ox-LDL) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods: Fifty-five patients with RA(24 case of active type,31 non-active) and 60 healthy controls were randomly chosen.Plasma lipids and Ox-LDL levels were studied.All the data were subjected to statistical analysis.Results: Compared with the control,total cholesterol(TC),LDL cholesterol(LDL-C) and apolipoprotein B(apoB) levels were increased in patients with active RA,while TC,triglyceride(TG),LDL-C,apoAⅠ,B and Ox-LDL levels were elevated in those with non-active RA.Furthermore,plasma lipids and Ox-LDL level decreased in the active patients as compared with the non-active ones,while only the change of apoAⅠhad statistical significance.The erythrocyte sedimentation rate was found negatively related with TC,LDL-C,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and apoAⅠ,while C-reacting protein was found negatively related with LDL-C and HDL-C.Conclusion: Ox-LDL and plasma lipid levels were changed in RA patients.Inflammation may induce changes of lipoprotein and play an important role in atherosclerosis.

This article discusses the status quo of the researches on neuropsychiatric lupus,including its pathophysiological mechanism,clinical manifestation,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.Cerebrospinal fluid examination,electroencephalography and brain imaging could improve the sensitivity of the diagnosis of neuropsychiatric lupus.Aggressive immunosuppressive agents,high-dose corticosteroids and anticoagulants remain the key to the therapy.However,future researches should focus on the control of long-term relapse and the improvement of the quality of life.

To investigate the effect of Cornu Cervi Oral Liquid (mainly composed of Cornu Cervi, Fructus Psoraleae, Herba Epimedii, Fructus Corni, Fructus Ligustri Lucidi and Lignum Aquilariae Resinatum) in reversing myocardial fibrosis in rats with congestive heart failure caused by pressure overload and to explore its mechanism. Thirty six male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to mimic operation group (Group A), model group (Group B) and Cornu Cervi Oral Liquid group (Group C). Rat models of congestive heart failure were induced by constriction of abdominal aorta. Left ventricular mass index(LVMI) was observed; contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ in left ventricular cardiac muscle were detected by immunohistochemical method and their mRNA expression by RT PCR; and plasma levels of angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ), atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) and serum aldosterone (ALD) level were measured by radioimmunoassay method. LVMI, contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ and their mRNA expression, levels of plasma and myocardial AngⅡ, plasma ANF and serum ALD were higher in Group B than those in Group A (P0 05).[Conclusion]Cornu Cervi Oral Liquid is effective in reversing myocardial fibrosis in rats with congestive heart failure caused by pressure overload and its mechanism may be related to the decrease of contents of collagen type Ⅰ and Ⅲ and their mRNA expression, levels of plasma and myocardial AngⅡ, plasma ANF and serum ALD.
