Background:
MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain (NP) by targeting mRNAs. This study aims to analyze the regulatory function and mechanism of miR-382-5p/dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) axis in NP.
Methods:
We utilized rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve as the NP model. The levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 were reduced by intrathecal injection of lentiviral interference vectors targeting miR-382-5p and DUSP1. The mRNA levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 in the dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) were measured by RT-qPCR assay. The pain behavior was evaluated by mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity. The expression levels of interleukin-6 (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the DRGs were analyzed by ELISA assay. The targeting relationship between miR-382-5p and DUSP1 was verified by DLR assay and RIP assay.
Results:
Compared to the Sham group, the CCI rats exhibited higher levels of miR-382-5p and lower levels of DUSP1. Overexpression of miR-382-5p significantly decreased DUSP1 levels. Reducing miR-382-5p levels can lower the mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity of CCI rats and inhibit the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors. Reduced miR-382-5p levels decreased NP in CCI rats. DUSP1 is the target of miR-382-5p, and down-regulation of DUSP1 reverses the inhibitory effect of reduced miR-382-5p levels on NP.
Conclusions
Down-regulation of miR-382-5p inhibits the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors by targeting and regulating the expression of DUPS1, thereby alleviating NP.

Objective? To investigate the readability evaluation of the printed health education materials by working nurses, to understand the perception of readability of health education materials and to lay the basis for future research on readability evaluation. Methods? In July 2017, 310 students from 147 hospitals (secondary and above) from all over Anhui Province were trained at Anhui Medical University. This study utilized the first stage of this training opportunity (July 3-14, 2017) to conduct an investigation of all participants. Surveys were conducted using a general survey, a printed health education material quality questionnaire, and a readability perception questionnaire. A total of 310 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 283 valid questionnaires were returned. The effective response rate was 91.3%. Results? The results of the readability evaluation of the printed health education materials showed that 36 participants reported that there were no health education resources for the patients in their departments. 247 participants reported that they provided printed health education materials in their departments, 56.7% of them believed that the health education materials of their departments had too many medical terminologies, 53.8% thought that the key information was not summarized or emphasized, and 61.9% thought that the content was too old. Compared with the tertiary hospitals, the nurses working in the secondary hospitals thought that the health education materials in their hospitals had "too many medical terms" and "old content", and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of the evaluation of the application of health education materials showed that 247 clinical nurses reported that the existing health education materials were mainly obtained from the following channels, of which 64.8% were self-designed, 79.4% were from external institutions, and 68.4% were from online resources. Compared with the nurses in the tertiary hospitals, the nurses in the secondary hospitals reported more of the fact that their departments provided the same health education materials to patients with different stages, and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05); Regarding the perception of readability, 48.8% of the participants had heard of the concept of readability; 94.7% considered it necessary to assess the readability of health education materials; but only 20.5% understand the readability assessment method and have readability evaluation ability. Conclusions? At present, the health education materials used in clinical practice have to be improved in terms of readability and application methods, but the ability to evaluate readability is low. Developers of clinical education materials should pay attention to the readability evaluation of materials, learn from the methods and experience of foreign readability research, actively explore the evaluation methods suitable for the readability of health education materials in China, and improve the material based on the readability evaluation results. Hospital administrators should also strengthen the training of first-line health education nurses, improve their ability to assess the readability of health education materials and optimize the health education outcomes.
