Background: Mast cell activation is a characteristic of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Study on mast cell and the related inflammatory mediators in colonic mucosa is helpful for the evaluation and treatment of IBS.Aims: To assess the effect of mesalazine combined with trimebutine on colonic mucosal mast cell and related inflammatory mediators in patients with IBS.Methods: Forty patients with diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) and 40 patients with constipation-predominant IBS (IBS-C) from Oct.2014 to June 2016 at Shanghai Jiading District Central Hospital were enrolled, 20 healthy volunteers were served as controls.Forty patients with IBS-D and 40 patients with IBS-C were randomly divided into mesalazine+trimebutine group and trimebutine group, the treatment courses were all 4 weeks.Number of mast cell was counted by modified toluidine blue staining.Score of related inflammatory mediators were evaluated by immunohistochemistry.Clinical efficacy was assessed.Results: Compared with healthy controls, number of mast cell at baseline was significantly increased both in IBS-D and IBS-C patients (P<0.05).After treatment with mesalazine+trimebutine, number of mast cell was significantly decreased (P<0.05).At baseline, immunohistochemical staining score of 5-HT, IL-1, TNF-α, histamine, tryptase were significantly increased in IBS patients than in healthy controls (P<0.000 1).After treatment with mesalazine+trimebutine, above-mentioned inflammatory mediators were significantly decreased (P<0.05).In IBS-D patients, the total efficacy rate in mesalazine+trimebutine group was significantly increased than that in trimebutine group (85.0% vs.45.0%, P=0.008).In IBS-C patients, no significant difference in total efficacy rate was found between mesalazine+trimebutine group and trimebutine group (55.0% vs.25.0%, P=0.053).Conclusions: Mesalazine combined with trimebutine is an effective and safe approach to reduce mast cell infiltration and release of related inflammatory mediators, and is more efficient for patients with IBS-D.

The telomerase activity in condyloma acuminatum (CA) tissue with human papillomavirus (HPV) types of 6/11 and 16/18 was detected to investigate the function of telomerase in the occurrence, development and carcinogenesis of genital CA. Forty-two biopsies from patients with genital CA and 30 control tissue samples were tested for telomerase activity, HPV presence and types. The telomerase activity was determined by modified telomerase repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) assay and HPV typing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with typing-specific primers. Results showed that HPV-DNA was negative and the expression rate of telomerase was 16.7% in all normal skin samples. All CA samples were positive for HPV (6/11 type was found in 32 cases, 16/18 in 3 and mixed type in 7). Telomerase activity was detectable in all CA patients. The telomerase activity in CA of 16/18 type was apparently higher than in CA of 6/11 type. It was concluded that the hyperplasia in CA might be increased as a result of HPV infection, suggesting that the activation of telomerase by HPV, especially by 16/18 type may play a role in the etiology and carcinogenesis of genital CA.

Objective To explore the effects of problem-based bedside nursing teaching in clinical teaching. Methods Totally 247 college nursing students were recruited in the study from July 2016 to June 2017. The 118 students were in the experimental group which implemented problem-based bedside nursing teaching,while 129 students were in the control group which implemented traditional teaching.The teaching effects of two groups at the end of practice was compared with mini-CEX. Results The clinical nursing comprehensive ability of the experimental group was 6.42±1.45,the control group was 5.25±1.35,the difference was statistically significant(t=15.73,P=0.000).The clinical teaching effect of the experimental group was better than that of control group,41.53%(49/118)and 51.69%(61/118)met the requirements and reached excellence, and 62.79%(81/129)and 19.38%(25/129)in the control group.The difference was statistically significant (Z=-5.35, P=0.000). Conclusions The model of bedside teaching based on problem can significantly improve nursing students'clinical nursing comprehensive ability and improve clinical teaching effect.

Objective To study the clinical effect of chlorhexidine acetate solution for oral care in patients with endotracheal intubation. Methods From February 2017 to August 2017, 160 patients with tracheal intubation in our department were divided into the observation group (80 cases) and the control group (80 cases) by random number table method. The observation group was treated with chlorhexidine acetate solution, and the control group used the compound Borax solution for oral care. The oral condition score, the positive rate of oral bacterial culture, the incidence rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia were compared between two groups. Results In the observation group, the oral condition score and the positive rate of oral bacterial culture were 10.29 ± 2.04 and 16.25% (13/80) on the 3rd day after theoral care. In the control group, the oral condition score and the positive rate of oral bacterial culture were 12.79 ± 1.97 and 31.25%(25/80) on the 3rd day after the oral care. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (t=-7.895, P<0.01; χ2=4.970, P<0.05). The incidence and occurrence time of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the observation group were 7.50% (6/80), (9.33±1.37) d. The incidence and occurrence time of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the control group were 18.75% (15/80), (5.87 ± 1.06) d. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=4.440, P<0.05; t=6.248, P<0.01). Conclusions The chlorhexidine acetate flushing oral care can significantly improve dental status, reduce the positive rate of oral bacterial culture and the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia, and prolong the occurrence time of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with endotracheal intubation.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical pathological significance of long non-coding transcription factor 7 (lncTCF7) in gastric cancer tissues and to investigate the role of lncTCF7 in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by in vitro experimental study.Methods From January to June 2011,one hundred patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy were selected from Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.The expression of lncTCF7 at mRNA level was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The patients were divided into high expression group (50 cases) and low expression group (50 cases) according to the lncTCF7 mRNA expression level.The stable interferenced lncTCF7 cell line (stable interference group) and blank control lncTCF7 cell line (blank control group) were established.Then the relationship between lncTCF7 expression level and clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis was analyzed.The interferenced lncTCF7 cell line was constructed and utilized,and the role of lncTCF7 in the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer was detected by wound healing,Transwell and Western blotting method.The Chi square test and t test were performed for statistical analysis.The Kaplan-Meier curve was used for survival analysis.Univariate and multivariate analyses were used for screening the independent factors affecting prognosis.Results The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression levels of lncTCF7 mRNA in high expression group and low expression group were 0.019 ± 0.003 and 0.002 ± 0.001,respectively.The survival rate of high expression group was lower than that of low expression group (46％,23/50 vs.72％,36/50),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.002 5).The expression level of lncTCF7 was correlated with intravascular tumor thrombus formation,nerve invasion,depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis (x2 =7.862,7.162,11.903 and 8.280,all P ＜ 0.05).The results of univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the expression level of lncTCF7 was significantly correlated with the depth of invasion (hazard ratio (HR) =4.205,P =0.002;HR =3.125,P =0.018).The results of wound healing assay indicated that lncTCF7 interference could significantly inhibit wound healing ((92.90 ± 1.51) ％ vs.(12.33 ± 0.67) ％,t =48.72,P ＜ 0.01).The results of Transwell assay demonstrated that after 24 hours of culture the number of cells passed through the membrane of the chamber of blank control group was higher than that of stable interference group (83.6 ± 12.5 vs.26.6 ± 4.3),and the difference was statistically significant (t =9.65,P ＜ 0.01).The results of Western blotting showed that the expression of E-cadherin,a marker of epithelial origin,of stable interference group was significantly increased compared with that of blank control group (0.32 ±0.01 vs.0.76 ± 0.01),however the expression levels of vimentin and N-cadherin,markers of mesenchymal origin,were significantly decreased (0.56 ±0.01 vs.0.39 ± 0.01 and 0.67 ± 0.01 vs.0.33 + 0.01),and the differences were all statistically significant (t =26.68,10.09 and 24.14,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The prognosis of gastric cancer patients with high expression of lncTCF7 is poor.lncTCF7 may promote the invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer by influencing eoithelial-mesenchymal transition in gastric cancer cells.
