Objective:To investigate the status of family function of patients after hysterectomy, explore the effect of self-concealment on family function.Methods:From January to November 2021,the 177 patients after hysterectomy in Guangdong Provincial People ′s Hospital were investigated by General Data Questionnaire, Family APGAR Indexand Self-Concealment Scale (SCS), and the influencing factors of family function were analyzed by univariate analysis and binary logistic regression. Results:The total score of APGAR and SCS was 9.00 (6.50, 10.00) and 24.00 (17.00, 33.00) after hysterectomy. Univariate analysis showed that marital status, working conditions and tendency of self-concealment were the influencing factors of family function. In the regression analysis of binary Logistic, tendency of self-concealment( P<0.01) and marital status ( P<0.01) entered the regression equation. Conclusions:The family function of patients after hysterectomy is generally good, and self-concealment is a risk factor. It is suggested that in clinical work, attention should be paid to the tendency of self-concealment in patients after hysterectomy, and targeted intervention measures should be taken to improve their family function.

Objective:To explore the current level of knowledge, attitude and practice of rehabilitation for postpartum diastasis recti abdominis inpuerperae, and analysis the influencing factors of behavior, in order to provide a reference frame for nursing staff to formulate effective health education programs.Methods:From November 2020 to April 2021, a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 522 puerperae from 4 tertiary hospitals in Guangdong province, Jiangsu province and Zhejiang province, to explore their level of knowledge, attitude and behavior of rehabilitation for postpartum diastasis recti abdominis. Mann-Whitney Utest or Kruskal-Wallis Htest was used for univariate analysis, Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analysis the influencing factors of rehabilitative behavior.Results:The median score of knowledgedimension, attitude dimension and behavior dimension of rehabilitation for postpartum diastaisis recti abdominis in puerperae respectively were 47.0 (36.0, 55.0), 26.0 (24.0, 31.0), 15.0 (10.0, 18.0) points. The results show that the main factors influencing of rehabilitation behaviorfor postpartum diastaisis recti abdominis in puerperae were knowledge ( χ2 = 87.78, P<0.05), attitude ( χ2 = 4.77, P<0.05), number of deliveries ( χ2 = 3.94, P<0.05) and family personal monthly income ( χ2 = 4.88, P<0.05). Conclusions:At present, puerperae have a positive attitude towards rehabilitation for postpartum diastasis recti abdominis, but the level of knowledge and practice of rehabilitation for postpartum diastasis recti abdominisneed to be improved.Nursing staff should focus on puerperae with incomplete knowledge, negative attitude, multiple deliveries and low family personal monthly income.

Sterol C24-methyltransferase (SMT) plays multiple important roles in plant growth and development. SMT1, which belongs to the family of transferases and transforms cycloartenol into 24-methylene cycloartenol, is involved in the biosynthesis of 24-methyl sterols. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a sterol C24-methyltransferase from().(GenBank access number KU885950) is a 1530 bp cDNA with a 1041 bp open reading frame predicted to encode a 346-amino acid, 38.62 kDa protein. The polypeptide encoded by thecDNA was expressed and purified as a recombinant protein from() and showed SMT activity. The expression ofwas highly up-regulated incell suspension cultures treated with methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Tissue expression pattern analysis showed higher expression in the phellem layer compared to the other four organs (leaf, stem, xylem and phloem), which is about ten times that of the lowest expression in leaf. The results are meaningful for the study of sterol biosynthesis ofand will further lay the foundations for the research in regulating both the content of other main compounds and growth and development of

Tripterygium wilfordii is a valuable medicinal plant rich in biologically active diterpenoids, but there are few studies on the origins of these diterpenoids in its secondary metabolism. Here, we identified three regions containing tandemly duplicated diterpene synthase genes on chromosomes (Chr) 17 and 21 of T. wilfordii and obtained 11 diterpene synthases with different functions. We further revealed that these diterpene synthases underwent duplication and rearrangement at approximately 2.3-23.7 million years ago (MYA) by whole-genome triplication (WGT), transposon mediation, and tandem duplication, followed by functional divergence. We first demonstrated that four key amino acids in the sequences of TwCPS3, TwCPS5, and TwCPS6 were altered during evolution, leading to their functional divergence and the formation of diterpene secondary metabolites. Then, we demonstrated that the functional divergence of three TwKSLs was driven by mutations in two key amino acids. Finally, we discovered the mechanisms of evolution and pseudogenization of miltiradiene synthases in T. wilfordii and elucidated that the new function in TwMS1/2 from the terpene synthase (TPS)-b subfamily was caused by progressive changes in multiple amino acids after the WGT event. Our results provide key evidence for the formation of diverse diterpenoids during the evolution of secondary metabolites in T. wilfordii.
