Objective To study the effect of electromyographie biofeedback on visceralgia hypersensitivity in patients with refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the relationship between psychological factors and vis-ceral hypersensitivity. Methods Sixty patients with refractory IBS were enrolled in this study and received electro-myographic biofeedback treatment for 4 weeks. The threshold of visceralgia, and scores on the Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HAMA) and the Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) were evaluated before and after treatment. Re-suits Compared with the baseline values, the threshold of visceralgia increased significantly during treatment(P≤ 0101) and the total scores on both the HAMA and HAMD had declined significantly (P≤0.01) by the end of 4, weeks of treatment. The evolution of the index of the threshold of visceralgia was negatively correlated with the evolu-tion of both the HAMA and HAMD scores (r = -0.543, P≤0.01; r = -0.728,P≤0.01). Conclusion Elec-tromyographic biofeedback treatment can elevate the threshold of visceralgia hypersensitivity in patients with refractory IBS. Anxiety and depression might contribute to visceralgia hypersensitivity in IBS.

Objective:To understand the predictive effect of orthostatic hypotension on frailty in nursing homes, and the effect of frailty on heart rate and blood pressure in supine positionand orthostatic position.Methods:A total of 214 elderly cases in three nursing homes (the Golden Years of Jinjialing Retirement Life Center, Hangzhou Boyang Pension Service Co., Ltd, Hangzhou Langhe International Medical Care Center) were interviewed by the general information questionnaire, the Frail Scale and Barthel Index. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and heart rate were measured by electronic sphygmomanometer in supine position and orthostatic position of 1 and 3 minutes.Results:The incidence of frailty combined with orthostatic hypotension was 26.64%(57/214) in the elderly in nursing homes. The incidence of orthostatic hypotension in the robust elderly, pre-frailty and frailty gradually increased, 14.29%(5/35), 20.00%(12/60), 47.90%(57/119). The differences of heart rate and systolic blood pressure in supine position between the elderly with and without frailty were significant ( t=2.16, 3.25, P<0.05), the differences of systolic pressure difference in orthostatic position of 1 and 3 minutes between the elderly with and without frailty were significant ( H=3.16, 4.08, P<0.01). There was significant difference in systolic pressure between the prefrail elderly and the elderly without frailty in lying position ( t=2.02, P<0.05). The differences of systolic and diastolic pressure differences in orthostatic position of 3 minutes between the frail elderly and pre-frail elderly were significant ( H=3.13,2.44, P<0.05). Ordered Logistic regression analysis showed that orthostatic hypotension was a risk factor for frailty ( OR=2.425, 95% CI were 1.133-4.988, P<0.05). Conclusions:Elderly adults with orthostatic hypotension in nursing homes have a higher prevalence of frailty. Frailty also impairs blood pressure regulation during postural changes. Nurses should attach importance to the assessment, education and intervention of frailty and orthostatic hypotension.

They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group ( n = 45/group). The control group was treated with olanzapine, and the observation group was treated with amisulpride. All patients were treated for 8 consecutive weeks. Total response rate, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale score, Clinical Global Impression Scale-Severity of Illness score, glucose and lipid metabolism indicators, Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale score, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:Total response rate was 88.89% (40/45) in the control group and 93.33% (42/45) in the observation group. There was no significant difference in total response rate between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.14, P > 0.05). After treatment, the PANSS score [(52.14 ± 3.99) points] and CGI-S score [(3.05 ± 0.86) points] in the observation group were significantly lower than (56.38 ± 4.05) points and (4.34 ± 0.92) points in the control group ( t = 5.00, 6.87, both P < 0.001). The levels of fasting plasma glucose [(5.25 ± 0.33) mmol/L], total cholesterol [(4.08 ± 0.67) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.29 ± 0.35) mmol/L], and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol [(2.60 ± 0.31) mmol/L] in the observation group were significantly lower compared with the control group [(6.02 ± 0.51) mmol/L, (4.71 ± 0.59) mmol/L, (1.61 ± 0.26) mmol/L, (2.91 ± 0.34) mmol/L, t = 8.50, 3.61, 4.92, 4.52, all P < 0.001]. High density lipoprotein-cholesterol level in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(1.57 ± 0.36) mmol/L vs. (1.18 ± 0.42) mmol/L t = -4.73, P < 0.001]. Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale score in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [(2.39 ± 0.58) points vs. (2.87 ± 0.62) points, t = 3.79, P < 0.05]. The incidences of drowsiness [6.67% (3/45)], constipation [8.89% (4/45)], and weight gain [2.22% (1/45)] in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [73.33% (33/45), 28.89% (13/45), 17.78% (8/45), χ2 = 4.14, 4.64, 4.44, P < 0.05].

Objective To investigate the effect of resveratrol (RSV) on epithelial-mesenchymal transition of MDA-MB-231 cells by down-regulating POLD1 expression. Methods CCK-8 was used to detect the effect of RSV on the activity of MDA-MB-231 cells. POLD1-OE and POLD1-NC cell lines were constructed by transfecting MDA-MB-231 cells with recombinant lentivirus. Western blot was used to detect the expression of POLD1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin and Vimentin after RSV treatment. Transwell invasion experiment and the scratch test were used to detect the cells invasion and migration abilities of each experimental group. Results RSV could significantly inhibit the survival of MDA-MB-231 cells, reduce the expression of POLD1, N-cadherin and Vimentin, increase the expression of E-cadherin, and inhibit the abilities of cell invasion and migration. Increasing the POLD1 expression could reduce the above-mentioned biological effects of RSV on MDA-MB-231 cells. Conclusion RSV could significantly inhibit the viability and EMT of MDA-MB-231 cells by down-regulating the expression of POLD1.
