Objective To investigate the protective effect of glycine (Gly) on hypoxic injury to murine cardiomyocytes and the mechanisms. Methods The survival rate of cardiomyocyte survival was detected by trypan blue exclusion and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) with an ultraviolet spectrophotometer. Ca 2+ changes in the cardiomyocytes were detected by laser confocal microscopy. Results Glycine markedly improved the survival rate of cardiomyocytes and decreased the release of LDH in cardiomyocytes after hypoxia. The protective effect was in a dose-dependent manner. Glycine could also block calcium overload after hypoxia. Conclusion Glycine has the protective effect on cardiomyocytes through the improvement of survival rate, decrease of LDH release, and blockage of calcium overload after hypoxia.

Objective To investigate whether microtubule disassembly plays an important role in the pathogenesis of the opening of mitochondria permeability transition pore (MPTP) in hypoxic cardiomyocytes and the decrease of its activity, resulting in its hypoxic injury. Methods Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes in primary culture were randomized as normoxia group (A), hypoxic group (B), normoxia treated with microtubule destabilizing agent (Colchicine) group (C), hypoxia treated with microtubule stabilizing agent (Taxol) group (D). At 0.5, 1, 3, 6, 12 h after treatment, polymeric tubulin was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blotting, mitochondria permeability transition pore (MPTP) open by coloading with calcein AM and cobalt chloride, and the activity of cells by measuring the mitochondrial-dependent reduction of MTT to formazan. Results Early microtubule disassembly, MPTP open and activity decrease of cardiomyocytes in both groups B and C were observed at 0.5 h after treatment. These phenomena all became more and more significant with the prolongation of treatment. However, microtubule disassembly, MPTP open and activity decrease of cardiomyocytes of group D were significantly lower than those of group B. Conclusion Microtubule disassembly happened at 0.5 h after hypoxic treatment. Microtubule stabling agent Taxol and destabilizing agent Colchicine can regulate microtubule integrity efficiently. The microtubule damage plays an important role in the hypoxic injury of cardiomyocytes.

Objective:To explore the application effect of 5E nursing guided by empowerment theory in patients undergoing liver cancer resection.Methods:Using the purposive sampling method, a total of 88 patients who underwent liver cancer resection surgery in Zhumadian Central Hospital from July 2020 to July 2022 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the control group ( n=44) and the observation group ( n=44) by the random number table method. The control group was given 5E nursing, while the observation group was given 5E nursing guided by empowerment theory. The improvement of gastrointestinal function between the two groups was compared by the first anal defecation time, the first anal exhaust time and the recovery time of bowel sound. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate postoperative pain, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to evaluate self-efficacy, and hope level was assessed by Herth Hope Index (HHI). After treatment, the compliance and occurrence of digestive tract discomfort were compared between the two groups. Results:The first anal defecation time, first anal exhaust time and bowel sound recovery time in observation group were less than those in control group ( P<0.05). Postoperative pain score of observation group was lower than that of control group 48 hours after operation ( P<0.05). After nursing, the GSES, HHI and compliance scores of the observation group were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05), and the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The 5E nursing guided by empowerment theory can effectively improve the compliance, self-efficacy and hope level of liver cancer resection patients, reduce pain, promote postoperative recovery and reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms.
