BACKGROUND:Disruption of biological rhythms(circadian rhythms)is a typical problem associated with aging.Maintaining the normal function of biological rhythms may be a promising anti-aging strategy.Expression of nuclear factor erthroid 2-related factor 2(Nrf2)is biologically regulated.The glycogen synthase kinase 3(GSK3)system represents a"regulatory valve"that controls subtle oscillations in Nrf2 levels.Circadian changes in the transcript levels of antioxidant genes can influence the response of organisms to oxidative stress.However,the specific molecular mechanism of GSK3/Nrf2 in regulating organismal aging is still puzzling. OBJECTIVE:To search for the general pattern of GSK3/Nrf2-regulated biological rhythms in organismal aging by reviewing the literature in this field. METHODS:The bibliographic method was used to search,review and screen the relevant literature using the keywords of"glycogen synthase kinase 3,nuclear factor erthroid 2-related factor 2,biorhythms and aging"to lay a theoretical foundation for the analysis of the whole paper.Comparative analysis method,through reading and analyzing the obtained literature,was performed to compare the similarities and differences between the literature,thereby providing reasonable theoretical support for the argument.Further comparative analysis of the literature was conducted to clarify the relationship between the relevant indicators as well as the ideas for analysis throughout the text. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:GSK3 can indirectly regulate Nrf2 expression through the regulation of rhythm genes.GSK3 and Nrf2 are components of anti-aging programs and are associated with biological rhythms.In addition,GSK3/Nrf2 is involved in several metabolic pathways,including those associated with age-related diseases(type 2 diabetes and cancer)and neurodegenerative diseases.

Objective To explore the function of extended nursing combined with PDSA circle and based on positivepsychology in improving self-efficacy of patients with colostomy. Methods A total of 80 patients with colostomy match the inclusion and exclusion standard from December 2014 to December 2015, were divided into the control group and the intervention group according to the order of discharge date.Patients in the control group received conventional extended nursing, while patients in the intervention group received extended nursing combined with PDSA circle and based on positivepsychology, and interventions were conducted a week, a month, two months, three months after discharge. Patients were evaluated by stoma related self-efficacy questionnaire before the intervention, after the fourth intervention and 3 months after intervention ( T0 , T1 ,T2 ) . Results There were significant differences in the dimensions, independent items and total scores of stoma related self-efficacy between two groups at different time after intervention except the item of confidence in sexual life (P<0.05), and they also had interactive effect (P<0.05).There was significant difference in the main effect of intervention time for the single item “confidence in sexual life” (P<0.05). In the intervention group, the scores of dimensions, independent items and total scores of stoma related self-efficiency after intervention and three months after intervention were significantly higher than those before intervention. Conclusions The extended nursing combined with PDSA circle and based on positivepsychology can improve the self-efficacy of patients with colostomy.
