Objective To study effects of oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 in carapax trionycis on rats with liver fibrosis induced by CCl4;To discuss its anti-liver fibrosis effects and possible mechanisms. Methods Forty-eight SD male rats were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, bifendate group, and oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 group, 12 in each group.CCl4 was injected intraperitoneally to build rat liver fibrosis model.Oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 group and bifendate group were given subcutaneous injection of oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 (0.12μg/g) or bifendate (0.12μg/g). At the same time, normal control group and model group were giventhe same volume of saline for seven weeks. The levels ofALT, AST,MDA, SOD, IL-4, IL-10 and TNF-α were tested.The histomorphology changes were observed under optical microscopeby HE, and the expressions of transforming growth TGF-β1 were determined by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with model group, serum levels of ALT and AST were reduced evidently in oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 group. Hepatic content of MDA, IL-4 and TNF-α decreased, while SOD activity and IL-10 were found significantly increased. Liver fibrosis was ameliorated significantly. Hepatic expressions of TGF-β1 were weakly positive.Conclusion Oligo-peptide I-C-F-6 can ameliorate hepatocyte damage of model rats, thus it has anti-oxidative and anti-liver fibrosis effects on liver fibrosis in rats.

Objective: To assess the effectiveness of interventions on patient trust Methods: A system review was conducted through searching 11 relevant databases, such as Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, PubMed, Web of Science, SinoMed, CNKI, WANFANG. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were screened from 1539 original studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria Meta-analysis was used to evaluate and interpret the interventions. Results: Ten RCTs were included in the review. It was concluded from meta-analysis that no significant difference could be found between controlled and intervention groups by increasing doctors'abilities(SMD = -0.05, 95% CI: -0.22 -0.12); while the other two interventions, doctor's information disclosure as well as patient education and nursing intervention, significantly enhanced patient trust (SMD = 0.13, 95% CI: 0.06 - 0.21; SMD = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.29 - 0.90). Conclusion: Doctor's information disclosure, patient education and nursing intervention are effective in increasing patients'trust, while intervention of doctor's ability promotion seems not so remarkable.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stageⅢA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods From March 2008 to October 2015, there were 92 cases of stageⅢA NSCLC patients received 2 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and underwent radical surgery for lung cancer 3-4 weeks late ( observation group) , and another group of 65 cases of stage ⅢA NSCLC patients ( control group) underwent surgery for lung cancer without preoperative chemotherapy. The clinical data as well as early and meddle term surgical outcome of both groups were analyzed retrospectively. Results The neoadjuvant chemotherapy effective rate was 73. 9% in the observation group. All surgeries for lung cancer patients were undertaken either with video-assisted thoracotomy or traditional thoracotomy. No operative mortality and the postoperative pathology findings were in accordance with NSCLC. The bleed-ing amount and operation time of two groups were similar; the resection rate of the observation group was greater than that of the control group. All patients were followed up at least 3 years, and the 2 years and 3 years survival rate of the observation group was slightly higher than that of the control group. Conclusions Preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with NSCLC can improve the resection rate and prolong the survival time, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of acute renal injury (AKI) in exertional heat radiation disease (EHS) .Methods:In november 2019, the clinical data of 69 EHS patients admitted from July 2015 to September 2019 were reviewed. The general data, laboratory indexes, Glasgow score (GCS) at admission, 24-hour acute physiology and chronic health score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) , exposure time rate and physical labor intensity were collected. According to the occurrence of AKI, the patients were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group, 31 and 38 in each group. The differences of general data and laboratory indexes between the two groups were compared, and the t and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the two groups. The enumeration data are expressed by examples and constituent ratio (%) . Independent sample χ 2 test is used for inter-group comparison, and multiple test is used for multi-sample comparison. The correlation was analyzed by linear regression. Risk factors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. Results:At discharge, 31 of 69 EHS patients developed AKI. Compared with the non-AKI group, the heart rate, white blood cell count, lactic acid, D-dimer and myoglobin were higher; MAP, platelet count and PH were lower in the AKI group. The difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . APACHE Ⅱ score, core temperature, time to drop to 38.5 ℃, contact time rate, platelet count, pH, lactic acid, D-dimer and myoglobin were all correlated with creatinine ( r=0.57, 0.42, 0.80, 0.78, 0.57, 0.43, 0.51, 0.55, 0.79) . APACHE Ⅱ score, time to drop to 38.5C, Lac and MYO are the risk factors of AKI in EHS patients. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the time required to drop to 38.5C was an independent risk factor for the occurrence of AKI. Conclusion:AKI is a serious complication of EHS. EHS complicated with AKI, should be identified early and effective intervention measures should be taken.
