Objective:To explore the effect of immersive mindfulness travel system in patients undergoing breast biopsy.Methods:This study adopted a randomized controlled study design. From February to July 2022, convenience sampling was used to select 94 patients who underwent breast biopsy in the Breast Surgery of Beijing Hospital as the research subject. The patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group by segmented randomization, with 47 cases in each group. The experimental group implemented the immersive mindfulness travel system model, while the control group patients wore headphones to listen to light music and received verbal comfort and support. We compared the anxiety, fear scores and satisfaction with nursing services between two groups of patients.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in the scores of the State-trait Anxiety Inventory and the modified Surgical Fear Questionnaire for Breast Biopsy Patients between the two groups of patients before and after intervention ( P<0.05). The satisfaction score of nursing services in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Conclusions:Immersive mindfulness travel system makes up for some deficiencies of existing intraoperative virtual reality intervention. It is superior to light music therapy in alleviating intraoperative anxiety and fear of breast biopsy patients and improving nursing service satisfaction, and has good clinical application prospects.

Objective To evaluate the mental status of malignant hematologic patients, explore the morbidity of depression in malignant hematologic patients, and investigate valid interventional treatment on them. Methods 134 malignant hematologic patients were evaluated by SDS and HAMD, and 49 patientswere selected who was diagnosed depressive disorder then randomly divided into 2 groups. One was experimental group and the other control group. The patients of experimental group were treated with antidepressant drug and mental intervention during common therapy, while the patients of control group only took common therapy. The change of immunological function after treatment was detected. Results The morbidity of depression in malignant hematologic patients was 37 %. The scores of SDS and HAMD were significandy decreased and the depressive symptoms were notablely improved in experimental group and there were significant differences after treatment and before treatment (P <0.01), but there was no significant difference in control group (P >0.1). The NPY plasma levels significantly increased after treatment in experimental group(P <0.01), but there was no significant difference in control group(P >0.05); the CD+4/CD+4 values of patients in the experimental group were significantly increased after treatments. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in the experimental group patients between pre-treat and after-treat (P <0,05),but no obvious difference in the patients of control group (P>0.5). Conclusion Mental intervention and antidepressive treatment can improve all of the depression, immunological function and quality of life of malignant hematologic patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of oleanolic acid pretreatment on hepatic ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty-eight male SD rats weighing 230-250 g were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 32 each): sham operation group (group S), I/R group, 0.5% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose group (group CMC) and oleanolic acid preconditioning (group OA). Partial liver ischemia was produced by clamping hepatic portal vein and hepatic arteries for 60 min with atraumatic mini-clamp, followed by 12 h of reperfusion in group I/R, CMC and OA. Oleanolic acid suspension 100 mg/kg was infused intragastrically in group OA, while the equal volume of 0.5% CMC-Na (in group CMC) and drinking water (in group S and I/R) was infused intragastrically instead once a day for 7 days, and then hepatic I/R was performed at day 8. The left liver was removed and blood sample was taken from inferior vena cava at 0, 3, 6 and 12 h ofreperfusion for determination of serum alanine amino transferase (ALT) activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD)activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) content, and expression of phospho-phosphatidylinositol3-kinase (p-PI3K), Akt, p-Akt, Bcl-2, Bax, p-Bad and Bad in the liver, and microscopic examination. Results Serum ALT activity and MDA content in the liver were significantly increased, SOD activity and GSH content in the liver were significantly decreased, expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, Bax, Bad and p-Bad was up-regulated, and Bcl-2 expression was down-regulated during reperfusion in group I/R, CMC and OA as compared with group S (P <0.05). Compared with group I/R, serum ALT activity and MDA content in the liver were significantly decreased, SOD activity and GSH content in the liver were significantly increased, expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt,Bcl-2 and p-Bad was up-regulated, and expression of Bad and Bax was down-regulated during reperfusion in group OA (P < 0.05), but no significant change was found in the indexes mentioned above in group CMC (P > 0.05).Serum ALT activity and MDA content in the liver were significantly lower, SOD activity and GSH content in the liver were significantly higher, expression of p-PI3K, p-Akt, Bcl-2 and p-Bad was significantly higher, and expression of Bad and Bax was significantly lower during reperfusion in group OA than in group CMC (P < 0.05).The pathological changes in the liver were milder in group OA than in group I/R. Conclusion Oleanolic acid pretreatment can alleviate hepatic I/R injury by activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting apoptosis.

AIM: To clarify the effects of specific and non-specific cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors on gastric epithelial cell proliferating and gastric healing following acid-induced damage. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given 1 mL of 0.6 mol/L hydrochloric acid (HCl) into the stomach. Ten minutes after the administration of the acid,the animals were given NS-398 (COX-2 inhibitor) or indomethacin. Levels of COX-1 and COX-2 in the gastric mucosa before and after HCl-administration were analyzed using western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was detected using immunohistochemistry for epithelial cell proliferation. Gastric lesion index (LI) was assessed using planimetry. RESULTS: Expression of COX-2 was enhanced mainly in surface epithelial cells and neck cells following HCl-administration. At 24 h following acid administration,PCNA labeling index (PCNA-LI) was (22.72?4.33) % and (21.98?5.18) % in the groups treated with 40 mg/kg of NS-398 and indomethacin respectively,which was significantly lower than that in the control group [ (34.46?3.61) %,P

OBJECTIVETo explore the neuropsychological characteristics of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
METHODSNeuropsychological tests, including visual working memory, Stroop test, digits inverse reciting, vocabulary fluency, Wisconsin card sort test (WCST), and Temporal discounting were used to evaluate the capacity of response inhibition, phonological working memory, visual working memory executive function and delayed satisfying capacity of subjects.
RESULTS1. The ADHD children spent longer time [ADHD-I (84(20), ADHD-C: 98 (31), normal: 70 (28)] to accomplish color naming and made more errors [ADHD-I: 3 (3), ADHD-C: 6 (19), normal: 2 (5)] than the normal control when the color was inconsistent with the word meaning in Stroop test (P < 0.01). 2. The scores of digits reciting [ADHD-I: 3 (3), ADHD-C: 3 (4), normal 4 (4)] inverse was lower in ADHD than in normal control (P < 0.01). 3. The representation of ADHD was poorer than normal control in visual working memory [ADHD-I: 21 (3), ADHD-C: 20 (5), Normal: 20 (3)], and in delayed visual memory [ADHD-I: 19 (5), ADHD-C: 19 (5), Normal: 20 (5)] (P < 0.01). 4. The scores of vocabulary fluency [ADHD-I: 1 (1), ADHD-C: 2 (1), normal: 0 (0)] was lower in ADHD than in normal control (P < 0.01). 5. In WCST, the ADHD children made more errors [ADHD-I :15 (17), ADHD-C: 15 (15), normal: 13 (13)] and less classification [ADHD-I: 5 (4), ADHD-C: 5 (4), normal: 5 (3)] than normal control (P < 0.01). 6. In Temporal discounting, the ADHD children showed significantly more impairments than normal control did (P < 0.01). 7. There was significant difference between the two subtype groups on some tests (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSObvious cognitive impairments were found in children with ADHD, involving poor response inhibition, impaired working memory, dysfunction of planning and set-shifting, and there was no significant difference between the two subtype groups.
