Hedgehog pathway is an osteogenesis-related signaling pathway . During embryonic development , it regulates the growth and proliferation of progenitor cells and tissue formation. This pathway can be activated during liver injury. Activated Hedge-hog signaling pathway is involved in many aspects of liver wound-healing responses, including hepatic progenitor cell pro-liferation, myofibroblast transdifferentiation, apoptosis of various types of liver cells, inflammatory reactions, and vascular remod-eling. This article reviews the research progress in the role of Hedgehog signaling pathway in liver injury and the underlying mechanisms. The potential drug targets are also discussed. This review is to provide novel insights into antifibrotic research and therapeutic targets.

Objective To explore the effect of procedural follow-up plan on medical compliance behavior and self-care ability of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) patients with percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods A total of 115 patients with acute coronary syndrome who were hospitalized in Vasculocardiology Department of Zhejiang Xiaoshan Hospital from June 2015 to July 2016 were selected as research subjects by convenience sampling method and divided into control group (n=58) and intervention group (n=57) according to random number table. Routine cardiological nursing care and post-discharge follow-up were implemented in both groups, on the basis of which, the intervention group was followed with procedural follow-up plan after discharge. The medical compliance behavior scale and the exercise of self-care agency scale (ESCA) were used to compared the medical compliance behavior and self-care ability between two groups at the time point of discharge, 2 months and 4 months after discharge. Results There was no statistical significance between intervention group and control group with medical compliance behavior and self-care ability at discharge(P> 0.05). The medical compliance behavior of intervention group was significantly better than control group,and the self-care ability of intervention group was significantly higher than control group at 2 months and 4 months after discharge,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusions The procedural follow-up plan can enrich patients' disease related knowledge,improve patient's medical compliance behavior and strengthen patients' self-care ability,which has great value for patients' clinical prognosis.

Objective To analyze risk factors of Swan-Ganz catheter-related bloodstream infections ( CRBSI) in patients with severe heart disease in Cardiac Care Unit ( CCU) . Methods A total of 768 patients undergoing indwelling Swan-Ganz catheterization in CCU between January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled in this study. Bacterial culture of blood in catheter and catheter tip that 5 cm distance from distal end were performed if the patients were suspected of intravascular catheter-related infections or the catheter was removed from the patients for more than 7 days. Results During 3050 catheter days, 23 of 768 patients were diagnosed of CRBSI(7. 5 ‰), and the infection rate was about 3%. The top 5 pathogenic bacteria were staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus haemolyticus, staphylococcus epidermidis, albicans saccharomyces and klebsiella pneumoniae. The patient′s gender, ages, with diabetes or not, and usage of antibiotic during catheterization had no correlation with catheter related infection (P >0. 05), but the skin of whole body clean or not before catheterization, the length of catheterization had correlation with catheter related infection ( P < 0. 05 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the whole bode skin clean before catheterization was the protective factor for CRBSI, and long catheter indwelling time and combined antibiotic treatment during catheterization were the risk factors for CRBSI (P<0. 05). Conclusions The incidence of CRBSI in patients with severe heart disease is related to the catheter indwelling time, and skin clean before indwelling which are able to effectively reduce the incidence of CRBSI. Antibiotic treatment during catheterization is not beneficial for decreasing the incidence of CRBSI.

Objective? To explore the effects of symposium involving patients and their family members on health education in patients with acute myocardial infarction after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention (PCI). Methods? Totally 86 patients with acute myocardial infarction receiving PCI in Ningbo First Hospital from January 2017 to June 2018 were selected continuously and divided into the control group (n=43) and the observation group (n=43). Patients in the control group received conventional health education which combined oral education and education manuals, while patients in the observation group symposium-based health education which involved both patients and their family members on the basis of conventional education after PCI. Both groups received health education for 4 weeks. Health knowledge about acute myocardial infarction, rehabilitation initiative, postoperative complication and satisfaction with overall nursing were compared between the two groups before and after intervention. Results? The health-related knowledge of the patients with acute myocardial infarction in the observation group 4 weeks after intervention scored (94.3±4.0), higher than that of the control group, which was (78.4±5.1), and there was statistically significant difference (t=8.285, P＜ 0.05). The scores of five dimensions of rehabilitation initiative (coordination with therapy, compliance, needs for rehabilitation, emotions post frustration and encouragement from family members and nurses) of the observation group were higher than those of the control group (t=4.726, 5.114, 3.975, 7.116, 5.893; P＜0.05). The incidence rate of postoperative complication in the observation group was 9.30%, lower than that of the control group, which was 30.23%, and there was statistically significant difference (χ2=5.939, P＜0.05). The nursing satisfaction of the observation group was 96.73%, higher than that of the control group, which was 83.78%, and there was statistically significant difference (χ2=4.904, P＜0.05). Conclusions? The symposium involving patients and their family members for patients with acute myocardial infarction after PCI can improve the patients' disease-related knowledge, satisfaction with overall nursing and rehabilitation initiative, and reduce the postoperative complications effectively.
