Objective To explore the relationships among social support , belief about medicine and adherence to anticoagulation treatment,and mediating effect of belief about medicine on the relationship between social support and adherence to anticoagulation treatment among patients with mechanical heart valve replacement. Methods Totally 154 patients were recruited. The social support scale, the modified Chinese Version Morisky Medication Adherence Scale( MMAS-8) and belief about medicine scale were used and the information on patients were collected through clinic and telephone interviews. Results The social support was correlated with belief about medicine (r=0.441, P<0.05). The belief about medicine was correlated with adherence to anticoagulation treatment (r=0.441, P<0.05). The social support was correlated with adherence to anticoagulation treatment (r=0.300, P<0.05) . The mediator effect of the belief about medicine was tested between social support and adherence to anticoagulation treatment. In the result, with the influence of belief about medicine .The social support was not correlated with adherence to anticoagulation treatment ( B=0.020,P>0. 05). Conclusion Belief about medicine plays a completely mediating role in the relation between social support and adherence to anticoagulation treatment.

Objective: To understand the longitudinal changes of refractive errors in adolescent myopia screening in the suburb of Shanghai, and to provide reference for targeted measures of myopia prevention and intervention. Methods: By using the cluster sampling method, 1 346 students were selected from two primary schools in a town in the suburb of Shanghai. Physical development indicators and refractive examination parameters of non ciliary muscle paralysis, and uncorrected visual acuity in 2017 and 2020 were collected from the Shanghai adolescent refractive development file. Longitudinal change of spherical equivalent (SE) refractive were assessed. A linear regression model was used to examine the relationship between the rate of SE change with characteristics of the students. Results: The average annual incidence of myopia was 16.36%, and the SE degrees of the left and right eyes of myopia students decreased by 225 degrees for three years. Girls (right eye Z=-4.33; left eye Z=-3.75, P<0.01), newly-onset myopia and persistent myopia (right eye Z=634.45; left eye Z=638.85, P<0.01) was a key for the rapid progress of refractive power. Conclusion The proportion of students with severe low vision is relatively high, and the apparent shifts toward more hyperopia in myopia students call for effective prevention and control programs based on changes in refractive to slow the progression of adolescent myopia.

Objective:To determine the relationship between health self-empowerment level and health self-management skill in older adults.Methods:A household survey was conducted from June 2020 to April 2021, among older adults in two communities each in Zhuzhou and Changsha selected by stratified cluster sampling. Data were collected through a general questionnaire, simplified. Elders Health Empowerment Scale, and Rating Scale of Health Self-Management Skill for Adults. A total of 444 questionnaires were distributed, of which 425 were valid. Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between health self-empowerment level and health self-management skill.Results:Final sample included 425 elderly people. Health self-empowerment was at medium to high level (30.9±5.6), whereas health self-management was at medium level (146.2±21.7); and the two factors were significantly correlated (Pearson coefficient was 0.724). After controlling for confounding factors (demographic characteristics), health self-empowerment independently accounted for 34.3% of the variation in health self-management ability.Conclusion:Health self-empowerment positively affects health self-management ability among older adults, which suggests the importance of stimulating health self-empowerment awareness in the process of health self-management.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and adverse events of salvage radiotherapy and other treatments for recurrent esophageal cancer after chemoradiotherapy in this Meta-analysis.Methods:Databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wanfang data were searched from the inception to April 2020 to collect the clinical trials which comparatively analyzed the efficacy and safety between radiotherapy and other treatments for recurrent esophageal cancer after chemoradiotherapy. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.1 software. RR and 95% CI were used to describe the differences among different groups. Results:According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 11 clinical trials involving 842 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the overall survival in the salvage radiotherapy group was significantly lower than that in the salvage esophagectomy group ( RR=0.40, 95% CI: 0.27-0.61, P<0.001), whereas significantly higher than that in the chemotherapy group ( RR=2.91, 95% CI: 1.43-5.95, P=0.003). There was no significant difference in the treatment-related mortality between the salvage radiotherapy and salvage esophagectomy groups ( RR=0.53, 95% CI: 0.14-1.98, P=0.350), but the incidence was significantly higher in the salvage esophagectomy group (1.7%-11.4% vs. 1.9%-2.8%). Conclusion:Salvage radiotherapy is an effective treatment for recurrent esophageal cancer after chemoradiotherapy, which can be regarded as one choice for clinical patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects and mechanism of Bielong ruangan decoction on liver cancer model rats. METHODS Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into control group， model group， and Bielong ruangan decoction low- dose and high-dose groups [6.84， 27.36 g/（kg·d）， by raw material]， with 8 rats in each group. Except for the control group， other groups were intraperitoneally injected with diethylnitrosamine （DEN） 50 mg/kg （once a week， for 16 consecutive weeks） to induce liver cancer model. At the 8th week of DEN injection， Bielong ruangan decoction low-dose and high-dose groups were orally administered with the corresponding medication， twice a day， until the 16th week. The general condition of rats in each group was observed during the experimental period. After the final administration， the body weight and liver mass were weighed， and the liver indexes were calculated； serum contents of alanine transaminase （ALT） and aspartate transaminase （AST） were determined； the appearance， pathological morphology and degree of fibrosis of liver were observed； Ishak scoring for liver fibrosis was performed； the mRNA and protein expressions of nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor 3 （NLRP3）， caspase-1， gasdermin D （GSDMD）， interleukin-18 （IL-18）， IL-1β in liver tissue were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the general condition of rats （except for the low-dose group）， liver texture， surface nodules and tumors， inflammatory cell infiltration and abnormal cell amount were all improved in Bielong ruangan decoction low-dose and high-dose groups. Liver index （except for low-dose group）， Ishak score （except for low-dose group）， the serum contents of ALT and AST， as well as the mRNA and protein expressions of NLRP3， caspase-1， GSDMD， IL-18 and IL-1β in liver tissue were reduced significantly （P＜0.05）， with some of above indicators in high-dose group being significantly lower than those in low-dose group （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Bielong ruangan decoction can inhibit the progression of liver cancer in rats and reduce liver damage. Its mechanism of action may be related to the inhibition of the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway and the improvement of inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the effect of muscle function on structural stress in patient with lumbar disc herniation (LDH), by observing the stress changes in LDH lumbar-pelvis finite element model loaded with muscle force. Methods One normal healthy volunteer and one LDH patient were selected. Their CT data were collected to establish two corresponding normal and LDH lumbar-pelvis finite element models, and their gait data were also simultaneously collected to drive the AnyBody musculoskeletal model. The muscle force around the lumbar and pelvis as well as the hip-joint force were obtained as the loading condition. Self-loading of the normal and LDH model as well as the normal model loaded with LDH muscle forces were conducted seperately. Then the stress changes in L4 and L5 intervertebral discs and sacroiliac joints under two above loading conditions were compared. Results The stress curve of normal model loaded with LDH muscle force showed a unimodal stress curve, instead of a bimodal curve, and such trend of stress-time curve was as same as the trend of the LDH model during self-loading. But the stress difference in L4 and L5 intervertebral discs and sacroiliac joint of the normal model loaded with LDH muscle force was smaller than that in the LDH model during self-loading. Conclusions Abnormal muscle function of LDH could lead to abnormal joint stress of the intervertebral discs and sacroiliac joint. Structural imbalance itself could lead to stress imbalance, and muscle as a driving factor was an important cause of anomaly structural dynamic stress, thus leading to abnormal joint motion patterns. Therefore, attention should be paid to assessment of the imbalance of peripheral muscle function in clinical treatment of LDH.

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the active compounds and the molecular mechanism of Cyathula Officinalis as a drug treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: The target genes of active ingredients from Cyathula Officinalis were obtained from bioinformatics analysis tool for the molecular mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine. The protein-protein interaction between the target genes were analyzed using STRING and Genemania. The transcriptome of RA patients compared to healthy people (GSE121894) were analyzed using R program package Limma. The relative expression of the target genes was obtained from the RNA-seq datasets. The molecular docking analyses were processed based on the molecular model of estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) binding with estradiol (PDB ID:1A52). The binding details were analyzed by SYBYL. RESULTS: Inokosterone, ecdysterone, and cyaterone were the 3 active ingredients from Cyathula Officinalis that bind to target genes. Of all the significantly changed genes from RA patients, ESR1, ADORA1, and ANXA1 were significantly increased in mRNA samples of RA patients. CONCLUSION ESR1, the transcription factor that binds inokosterone in the molecular binding analysis, is the target protein of Cyathula Officinalis.

Cathartic colon （CC） is a common and refractory digestive system disease， with the pathogenesis not fully clarified. The effective therapies other than laxatives and surgery remain to be developed for CC. Therefore， establishing the CC animal models that fit the disease characteristics of western medicine and syndrome characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is an important link to promote the research on this disease. The fitting degree of animal models with the latest Chinese and western medical diagnostic criteria is an indicator to assess the effectiveness of the animal models in simulating the disease characteristics of western medicine and syndrome characteristics of TCM. The literature review showed that the model animals， drugs and their dosage forms， doses， administration methods， and modeling period of CC varied in different studies， and the available CC animal models presented different fitting degrees with the disease characteristics of western medicine and syndrome characteristics of TCM. Rats were the preferred animals for the modeling of CC. Rhei Radix et Rhizoma preparations were commonly used for model inducing， which， however， may cause water electrolyte disorders， decreased immunity， and even death of animals at the late stage of modeling. The animals were modeled by gradually increasing the starting dose， while the starting dose and increasing dose varied. The maintenance dose was determined based on 50% of the animals having loose stools， and the end for a cycle was determined as the time when loose stools disappeared in 80% of animals. The modeling always lasted for 2-3 cycles， approximately 2-4 months. The CC models established with Rhei Radix et Rhizoma granules and rhein had high fitting degrees with the disease and syndrome characteristics. In addition， the CC animal models of TCM syndromes were still in the exploration stage. There were only the animal models of four TCM syndromes： liver depression and spleen deficiency， both Qi and Yin deficiency， Qi stagnation and blood stasis， and spleen and kidney deficiency. Efforts should be made to establish the animal models that meet the characteristics of disease of western medicine and syndromes of TCM， so as to facilitate the research on CC mechanism and drug development.
