Objective To explore the design and application of psychological intervention paths for ascites type of advanced schistosomiasis patients. Methods A total of 156 ascites type of advanced schistosomiasis patients were divided into an inter?vention group and a control group with 78 cases each. A psychological intervention path table was designed in accordance with the psychological characteristics and demands of the advanced schistosomiasis patients. Five steps were used to guide the nurses involved to carry out the psychological intervention. Results Before the intervention there were no statistically significant dif?ferences all P>0.05 between two groups in SAS SDS WHOQOL?BRER scores but after the intervention all the evalua?tion indexes improved in the intervention group and there were statistically significant differences between the intervention group and control group in SAS SDS WHOQOL?BRER scores all P<0.05 . Conclusion The application of psychological inter?vention paths for ascites type of advanced schistosomiasis patients can improve their negative emotions and qualities of life.

Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are myelinating glial cells that form myelin sheaths around axons to ensure rapid and focal conduction of action potentials. Here, we found that an axonal outgrowth regulatory molecule, AATYK (apoptosis-associated tyrosine kinase), was up-regulated with OL differentiation and remyelination. We therefore studied its role in OL differentiation. The results showed that AATYK knockdown inhibited OL differentiation and the expression of myelin genes in vitro. Moreover, AATYK-deficiency maintained the proliferation status of OLs but did not affect their survival. Thus, AATYK is essential for the differentiation of OLs.
