Meridians in human body were classified as white meridian and black meridian according to Tibetan medicine.Season and environment,improper diet,toxic heat and trauma were recognized as main reasons damaging the white meridian in Tibetan Medicine,leading to the emerge of white meridian disease induced by Long (one of the three factors) and blood disorder.White meridian disease in Tibetan medicine involved a series diseases,such as many clinical diseases,due to the damage of white meridian system caused by pathogenic factors.Stroke also belonged to white meridian disease.Drugs and treatments were selected based on the nature of disease such as cold and heat,onset,thelocation of disease and the three factors (Chi Ba,Long and Pei Gen).It was the fundamental principle of the treatment rules of white meridian disease in Tibetan medicine,namely,prescribing medication with the rule of diagnosis and treatment,comprehensive analysis of the causes of diseases and mastering the change law of diseases and syndromes in clinic.

Objective To explore the mediating effect of emotion regulatory self-efficacy (ERSE) in the relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and turnover intention in operating room nurses. Methods A total of 372 operating room nurses from five hospitals in Shenyang City were selected as the research subjects using covenient sampling method. The Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, Turnover Intention Scale, and Emotional Self-Regulation Efficacy Scale were used to study the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), turnover intention, and ERSE among the study subjects. The Bootstrap method was used for mediation effect analysis of ERSE. Results The prevalence of WMSDs among operating room nurses was 69.9%. The scores for turnover intention and ERSE among operating room nurses were (13.6±6.3) and (34.7±16.2), respectively. ERSE played a partial mediating role in the relationship between WMSDs and turnover intention among operating room nurses, with an effect value of 0.04 and the 95% confidence interval of 0.01 to 0.08, accounting for 8.1% of the total effect. Conclusion WMSDs and ERSE directly influence turnover intention among operating room nurses. WMSDs can indirectly increase turnover intention by reducing ERSE among operating room nurses.

OBJECTIVE: To study the improvement effect and mechanism of methylated urolithin A on oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in human liver cancer Huh-7 cells. METHODS: Oleic acid was adopted to induce lipid accumulation model cells. Huh-7 cells were divided into control group (culture medium), model group (1 mmol/L oleic acid), low-dose group (1 mmol/L oleic acid+10 μmol/L methylated urolithin A) and high-dose group (1 mmol/L oleic acid+20 μmol/L methylated urolithin A). Oil red O staining was used to observe lipid accumulation in cells. Triglyceride(TG) enzyme assay was applied to determine the TG content in cells. PCR was employed to detect the mRNA expression of FASN, SREBP-1, PPAR-α and PPAR-γ in cells. Western blotting was used to determine the protein expression of FASN in cells. RESULTS: After induced by oleic acid, a large amount of lipid droplet accumulated around the cells; the intracellular lipid and TG content, mRNA expression levels of FASN, SREBP-1 and PPAR-γ, protein expression levels of FASN were increased significantly, while mRNA expression level of PPAR-α was decreased significantly (P<0.01). After intervened with methylated urolithin A, lipid droplet around the cells decreased significantly; the contents of lipid and TG in cells were decreased significantly, while the mRNA expression levels of FASN, SREBP-1 and PPARγ and protein expression level of FASN were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Methylated urolithin A can improve oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in Huh-7 cells, the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting fat synthesis, promoting lipid metabolism and down-regulating the expression of metabolism-related factors as FASN, SREBP-1 and PPAR-γ.
