Objective:To study the effect of liraglutide on the forkhead box O3a (forkhead box O3a, FoxO3a) /Wnt signaling pathway and vertebral bone density in osteoporotic rats.Methods:Female Sprague-dawley rats were divided into sham operation group, model group, and liraglutide intervention group according to the random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. Both the model group and the intervention group used bilateral oophorectomy to establish an osteoporosis model. The intervention group was injected subcutaneously with liraglutide every day, and the sham operation group and the model group were given an equal volume of normal saline. After 12 weeks of continuous administration, the bone mineral density and bone biomechanics were measured, the serum osteoprotegerin, anti-tartrate acid phosphatase, and osteocalcin levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the O3a/Wnt pathway was detected by Real-time PCR technology. The expression level of mRNA was detected by Western blot to detect the expression level of related proteins in the O3a/Wnt pathway.Results:The bone mineral density levels of L4,5 (0.33±0.04 vs 0.18±0.03) and left and right femurs (0.37±0.05 vs 0.23±0.04 0.35±0.04 vs 0.24±0.03) of the successfully modeled rats were significantly lower than those of the sham operation group ( P<0.05) . After 12 weeks of treatment, the differences in the maximum bone load, three-point bending stress, bone density and elastic modulus of the three groups of rats were statistically significant. Among them, the sham operation group had the highest level of each index (36.53±5.23, 154.13±6.27, 0.34±0.04, 3 102.34±160.44) , followed by the intervention group (19.37±4.32, 141.54±6.58, 0.18±0.03, 2 270.18±145.53) and the model group in turn (26.17±4.68, 147.56±5.84, 0.28±0.03, 2 804.24±140.42) ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the levels of serum osteoprotegerin, anti-tartrate acid phosphatase and osteocalcin among the three groups. Among them, the osteoprotegerin (Sham operation group vs model group vs intervention group: 7.53±0.63 vs 4.57±0.42 vs 6.15±0.61) of the sham operation group was significantly higher than that of the intervention group and the model group. The anti-tartrate acid phosphatase (Sham operation group vs model group vs intervention group: 14.34±2.87 vs 19.53±3.52 vs 15.96±3.14) and osteocalcin levels (Sham operation group vs model group vs intervention group: 0.84±0.09 vs 1.13± 0.12 vs 0.95± 0.08) of rats The factor was significantly lower than that of the intervention group and model group ( P<0.05) . The mRNA and protein expression levels of FoxO3a, Wnt2, and β-catenin in the three groups of rats were significantly different. Among them, Wnt2 and β-catenin in the sham operation group were significantly higher than the intervention group and model group, and FoxO3a was significantly lower than the intervention group and model Group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:Liraglutide can increase bone density and improve bone biomechanics by activating O3a/Wnt signal, thereby effectively treating osteoporosis.

Objective To study the influence of aerobic exercise and relaxation therapy on quality of life and symptoms of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods A total of 116 female breast cancer patients in our hospital were divided into study group and control group by random number table.The control group took routine nursing intervention,and the study group applied aerobic exercise and relaxation therapy on the basis of the control group.And the symptoms,quality of life and emotions before and after intervention were compared.Results After intervention,the psychological symptoms,hormone related symptoms,the digestive system symptoms and self-image disorder symptoms scores in the study group were lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05),the physiological status,functional status,emotion,social/family conditions and additional attention scores were higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Aerobic exercise and relaxation therapy for patients with breast cancer chemotherapy has a significant effect,and it can effectively improve the quality of life and symptoms,so it is suitable for clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the related factors that affect the timing and prognosis of early tracheostomy in patients with multiple rib fractures.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted on medical data of 222 patients with multiple rib fractures who underwent tracheostomy in Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from February 2013 to October 2019,including 160 males and 66 females,with the age of 18 to 85 years [(49.5 ± 16.3)years]. According to the practice management guidelines for tracheostomy timing and the use of propensity score matching technology,there were 118 patients with tracheostomy within 7 days of tracheal intubation (early group) and 104 patients with tracheostomy after 7 days of tracheal intubation (late group) before matching,and there were 87 patients in early group and 87 patients in late group after matching. Data were compared between groups including the gender,age,underlying disease,injury severity score (ISS),Glasgow coma score (GCS),number of fractured ribs,total number of rib fractures (NTRF),first rib fracture,flail chest,traumatic brain injury,combined injuries (spine,maxillofacial,sternum),acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),volume fraction of pulmonary contusion(VPC),blood lactic acid (within 24 hours of admission),hemothorax,pneumothorax,mechanical ventilation time,duration of tracheostomy,time from tracheal intubation to incision,length of hospital stay,length of stay in ICU,closed thoracic drainage,number of fiberoptic bronchoscopy,multi-drug resistant bacteria infection,ventilator-associated pneumonia,antibiotic use time,duration of sedative and analgesic drugs used and 28-day mortality. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to predict independent risk factors for early tracheostomy. The Pearson method was used to compare the relationship between multiple factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to predict indicators that affect the prognosis of patients with early tracheostomy,and calculate the best cut-off value. The Kaplan-Meier single factor and COX multivariate survival were used to analyze the relevant factors affecting the 28-day mortality of patients.Results:(1) In early group,the NTRF,ARDS and VPC were higher than those in late group,and the time from tracheal intubation to incision and 28-day mortality rate were lower than those in late group ( P < 0.05),while the two groups showed no significant differences in the gender,age,underlying diseases and ISS ( P > 0.05). (2) The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that there was statistical significance in NTRF ( OR = 1.775,95% CI 1.439-2.188),ARDS( OR = 3.740,95% CI 1.441-9.711),VPC ( OR = 1.087,95% CI 1.052-1.124) ( P < 0.05); the Pearson method analysis showed a significant correlation between VPC and NTRF ( r = 0.369, P < 0.05) and a low degree of correlation between ARDS and VPC ( r = 0.179, P < 0.05),but there was no significant correlation between ARDS and NTRF ( r = 0.132, P > 0.05). (3) The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of the VPC and NTRF [AUC = 0.832 (95% CI 0.770-0.893),AUC = 0.804 (95% CI 0.740-0.868)] were significantly higher than those of the number of rib fractures [AUC = 0.437(95% CI 0.352-0.523),GCS [AUC = 0.519 (95% CI 0.432-0.605)] and ISS [AUC = 0.484 (95% CI 0.398-0.571)] ( P < 0.05). After calculating the Yorden index,the best cut-off value for VPC was 23.9,and the best cut-off value for NTRF was 8.5. (4) The Kaplan-Meier single factor and multivariate COX model survival analysis showed that the 28-day survival ratio of patients with early tracheostomy was significantly better than that of late tracheostomy ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:The NTRF,ADRS and VPC are independent risk factors for the timing and prognosis of early tracheostomy. There is a significant correlation between VPC and NTRF. The VPC ≥ 23.9% and or NTRF ≥ 8.5 can be used to predict early tracheostomy in patients with multiple rib fractures. Early tracheostomy may benefit the 28-day survival of patients with multiple rib fractures.
