Objective To explore the experiences in nursing children with snoring in the peri-operative period. Methods Five hundred and six children with snoring in the affiliated Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2013 to December 2014 were enrolled in the study. The clinical data of all children and the nursing measures were analyzed retrospectively during the peri-operative periods to look into psychological nursing, preoperative evaluation and nursing instructions before the surgeries and keeping respiratory tract un-obstructed, bleeding observation, pain nursing and infection prevention. Results The 506 children underwent tonsillectomy with adenoidectomy or simple adenoidectomy . Two patients had hemorrhage after operation and hemostasis was done successfully by surgeries . Conclusion The nursing measures including psychological nursing , preoperative evaluation and health instructions can be critical for ensuring the successful operation and keeping the respiratory tract unobstructed , infection prevention, bleeding observation and pain nursing can be helpful for reducing the postoperative complications and enhance the quality of life.

Objective To study the risk factors and prognosis of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) in recipients with steatotic donor livers.Method The clinical data of 182 patients who underwent liver transplantation from donors with liver steatosis in Tianjin First Central Hospital from June 2002 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.There were sixteen patients with PTDM and one hundred sixtysix without PTDM.The clinical data of these patients were compared and the risk factors were evaluated by COX regression analysis.The 1-,3-,5-year cumulative survival rates were analyzed after liver transplantation.Result The variables which included sex,pretransplant serum creatinine level,model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score,intraoperative red blood cell transfusion,and post-transplant biliary complications were significantly different between the two groups.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that living-donor,pretransplant fasting blood glucose and post-transplant biliary complications could affect the survival time of patients in PTDM group.The 1-,3-and 5-year cumulative survival rates in the PTDM group were 81.3％,68.8％ and 62.5％,which were significantly lower than those in the non-PTDM group (95.2％,86.1％ and 80.7％ respectively,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Living-donation,pretransplant fasting blood glucose and post-transplant biliary complications had a worse prognosis in the PTDM group.A comparatively better long-term survival after liver transplantation can be achieved by reducing the risk factors and the occurrence of PTDM.

Objective To evaluate the effect of berberine on fatty liver ischemia-repeffusion (I/R) injury and the relationship with endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver tissues.Methods Thirty-two male Wistar rats,aged 4 weeks,weighing 100-150 g,were divided into 4 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table method:control group (group C),fatty liver group (group FL),I/R group and berberine group (group BBR).Rats were fed a normal fat diet for 12 weeks,normal saline 3.5 ml was given intragastrically for 4 weeks starting from 9th week,and rats only underwent simple laparotomy in group C.Rats were fed a high-fat diet (45％ energy originating from fat) for 12 weeks,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group C.Rats were fed a high-fat diet (45％ energy originating from fat) for 12 weeks,normal saline 3.5 ml was given intragastrically for 4 weeks starting from 9th week,and then the model of liver I/R injury was established in group I/R.Rats were fed a high-fat diet (45％ energy originating from fat) for 12 weeks,berberine solution (300 mg/kg) 3.5 ml was given intragastrically for 4 weeks starting from 9th week,and then the model of liver I/R injury was established in group BBR.Hepatic ischemia was induced by clamping the portal vein,hepatic artery,right gastric vein,and supra-and inferior-hepatic vena cava to perform cold perfusion with 4 ℃ lactated Ringer's solution lasting for 30 min,followed by reperfusion.The serum triglyceride (TG) concentrations were determined after 4,8 and 12 weeks of diet.Blood samples were collected at 6 h of reperfusion for measurement of serum aspartate transminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) concentrations.Livers were removed after blood sampling at 6 h of reperfusion and liver tissues were obtained and stained with oil red O and haematoxylin and eosin for examination of pathological changes and for determination of the expression of Bip,CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP),protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) and phosphorylated PERK (p-PERK) (by Western blot).p-PERK/PERK ratio was calculated.Results Compared with group C,the serum TG,ALT and AST concentrations were significantly increased,the expression of Bip and CHOP was up-regulated,p-PERK/PERK ratio was increased (P＜0.05),lipid deposition was increased,and liver steatosis was found in group FL.Compared with group FL,the serum AST and ALT concentrations were significantly increased,the expression of Bip and CHOP was up-regulated,pPERK/PERK ratio was increased (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes of liver tissues were accentuated in group I/R.Compared with group I/R,the serum TG,ALT and AST concentrations were significantly decreased,the expression of Bip and CHOP was down-regulated,p-PERK/PERK ratio was decreased (P＜ 0.05),lipid deposition was reduced,and the pathological changes of liver tissues were significantly attenuated in group BBR.Conclusion Berberine can ameliorate fatty liver I/R injury,and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress in liver tissues of rats.

Objective To explore the effect of berberine (BBR) on steatotic liver ischemia reperfusion injury and analyze the role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy .Methods Thirty-four Wistar rats were fed with a high-fat diet for 12 weeks and 2 rats were randomly selected after 8 weeks to observe pathological changes and confirm the model of steatotic liver successfully .Then before opening and closing abdominal cavity ,32 rats were divided into I/R group (normal saline was intragastrically 4 weeks before performing cold I/R treatment) ,BBR group (normal saline was replaced by BBR ,BBR was intragastrically at a dose of 300 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 weeks and others were the same as I/R group) and TG group (TG was intraperitoneally at a dose of 0 .2 mg·kg-124h pre-operation and others were the same as BBR group ) .Then the rats were sacrificed at 6h post-reperfusion .Blood samples were collected from inferior vena cava and hepatic tissues harvested .The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected ,histopathologic changes observed by Hematoxylin & Eosin (HE) staining ,oxidative stress and inflammation determined by ELISA kit and the expressions of p-PERK ,CHOP ,Bip ,LC3 ,Beclin-1 and p62 detected by Western blot .Results As compared with Sham group ,the serum levels of ALT and AST were significantly higher in I/R ,BBR and TG groups (P < 0 .05) .And hepatic histological changes were severe and oxidative stress increased in parallel with the enhancement of pro-inflammation (P< 0 .05) .In BBR group ,the level of hepatic enzymes declined ,liver injury was milder ,oxidative stress decreased and pro-inflammation was lesser compared with I/R and TG groups (P< 0 .05) .Additionally ,as compared with sham group ,the expressions of p-PERK ,CHOP ,Bip ,LC3 ,Beclin-1 and p62 were up-regulated in I/R and BBR groups (P < 0 .05) .TG group increased the levels of LC3 ,Beclin-1 and p62 (P< 0 .05) .Interestingly ,compared with I/R group ,BBR pretreatment down-regulated the expressions of p-PERK ,CHOP ,Bip ,LC3 ,Beclin-1 and p62 (P< 0 .05) .TG group had the higher expressions of LC3 ,Beclin-1 and p62 than those of BBR group (P< 0 .05) .Conclusions BBR pretreatment can protect steatotic liver ischemia reperfusion injury .And the mechanisms may be attributed to the inhibitions of endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy .

Traditional medications used for treating autoimmune diseases often come with a wide range of adverse effects. Current treatments focus mainly on symptom management, resulting in significant health issues and financial burdens for patients. Recently, clinical research has demonstrated the potential of helminths and their derivatives as effective therapies for autoimmune disorders. Helminths, being a near-natural immunomodulator, exhibit milder effects than broad-spectrum immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, thereby presenting a promising alternative for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. However, different helminths' therapeutic efficacy and mechanisms and their derivatives in treating autoimmune diseases may vary. Therefore, we aim to review recent clinical advancements in the use of helminths and their derivatives for treating inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and autism spectrum disorder, with a view to offering novel clinical treatment approaches.

Sub-threshold depression refers to a psychological sub-health state that fails to meet the diagnostic criteria for depression. Appropriate intervention can improve the state and reduce the risks of disease development. In this paper, we focus on music neurofeedback stimulation improving emotional state of sub-threshold depression college students.Twenty-four college students with sub-threshold depression participated in the experiment, 16 of whom were members of the experimental group. Decompression music based on spectrum classification was applied to 16 experimental group participants for 10 min/d music neural feedback stimulation with a period of 14 days, and no stimulation was applied to 8 control group participants. Three feature parameters of electroencephalogram (EEG) relative power, sample entropy and complexity were extracted for analysis. The results showed that the relative power of α、β and θ rhythm increased, while δ rhythm decreased after the stimulation of musical nerofeedback in the experimental group. The sample entropy and complexity were significantly increased after the stimulation, and the differences of these parameters pre and post stimulation were statistically significant ( < 0.05), while the differences of all feature parameters in the control group were not statistically significant. In the experimental group, the scores of self-rating depression scale(SDS) decreased after the stimulation of musical nerofeedback, indicating that the depression was improved. The result of this study showed that music neurofeedback stimulation can improve sub-threshold depression and may provides an effective new way for college students to self-regulation of emotion.
