Background:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common disorder of digestive system,however,some of patients are not responding to conventional 4-8 weeks proton pump inhibitor therapy. Aims:To investigate the effect of digital music gastric electrical pacing on clinical symptoms,anxiety and depression and esophageal motility in patients with refractory GERD. Methods:Fifty-three patients with refractory GERD from Jan. 2014 to Oct. 2015 at the Third Affiliated Hospital,the Third Military Medical University were recruited. All of them fulfilled the Montreal definition of GERD. Digital music gastric electrical pacing was performed for 15 days and the efficacy was evaluated by clinical symptom scoring,Hamilton anxiety scale( HAMA),Hamilton depression scale( HAMD)and esophageal motility manometry. Results:After 15-day treatment,the main symptoms,including heartburn,daytime and nocturnal acid reflux,upper abdominal pain,nausea,and sleep disorder were significantly improved(P < 0. 001). A great proportion of patients were complicated with anxiety and/ or depression at recruitment,and after treatment the scores of HAMA and HAMD were decreased significantly(P < 0. 001). Meanwhile,the lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure(LESP),distal wave amplitude,peristaltic wave duration,speed of peristaltic wave and distal contraction integral after treatment were significantly increased as compared with the baseline values(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:Digital music gastric electrical pacing is effective for treatment of refractory GERD with increase of LESP and esophageal body motility. The clinical symptoms and anxiety and depression are improved simultaneously. Digital music gastric electrical pacing is expected to be a new choice of non-medicine treatment for esophageal motility disorders.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of moderate to severe cancer-related fatigue (CRF) in patients undergoing chemotherapy of prostate cancer, and to construct a nomogram model to predict the occurrence of CRF.Methods:Using the case data questionnaire, Brief Fatigue Inventory, Social Support Rating Scale and International Prostate Symptom Scores, 724 patients of prostate cancer treated by chemotherapy in Shanghai Tenth People′s Hospital from August 2016 to June 2021 were selected and were treated with 1∶1 ratio, and the indexes of the moderate and severe CRF group (216 cases) and the non-moderate and severe CRF group (216 cases) were compared. According to the ratio of 7∶3, the envelope method was used to divide into training set and validation set. The independent risk factors of moderate and severe CRF were explored by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis, and the risk prediction model was established and the nomogram model was constructed. The C-index and area under ROC curve were used to verify the prediction effect of the model.Results:Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI ranged from 24.0 to 27.9 kg/m 2 ( OR=1.733), BMI≥28.0 kg/m 2 ( OR=3.126), neutropenia occurred during chemotherapy ( OR=1.747), chemotherapy course >6 months ( OR=1.893), moderate social support level ( OR=1.244), low social support level ( OR=2.434), mild urinary tract symptoms ( OR=1.264), moderate urinary tract symptoms ( OR=3.371) and severe urinary tract symptoms ( OR=5.297) were independent risk factors for moderate and severe CRF. The nomogram model constructed according to the above risk factors was internally verified by the training set and the validation set, and its C-index was 0.854 and 0.741 respectively. The area under ROC curve training set was 0.823, and the validation set was 0.733. Conclusions:The nomogram model can effectively predict the occurrence of moderate to severe CRF in patients with prostate cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Objective To screen the active components of Bushen Huoxue Decoction ( BSHXD) involved in promoting the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs). Methods BSHXD and its subdivisions were extracted with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, water-free ethanol and water respectively. MSCs were isolated and cultured by the bone marrow adherent method. At the third passage, MSCs were identified by the specific surface markers with immunofluorescence, and their osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation were tested by alizarin red staining and oil red “O” staining. After treated with the extracts of BSHXD and its subdivisions at gradient concentrations for 24 hours, cell viability was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay for the screening of active components and optimal concentration. MTT assay was used to describe the growth curve of MSCs treated with the most effective components, and cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results Compared with the blank control group, the extracts of BSHXD and its subdivisions could protect MSCs from death to various degrees. Of all the extracts, the ethyl acetate extract of Bushen Division ( BSD) , ethyl acetate extract of BSHXD, ethyl acetate extract of Huoxue Division ( HXD) had the strongest effect, and the effect was dose-dependent, 100 μg/mL being the optimal active concentration while having no any cytotoxic reaction. The results of MTT assay revealed that BSD extracts promoted the proliferation of MSCs significantly and was the most effective component, and then came BSHXD. The results of flow cytometry indicated that BSD extract had the most strongest effect on increasing the amount of MSCs at proliferative phase, and then came BSHXD. Conclusion BSD ethyl acetate extract is the active component of BSHXD for promoting the proliferation of MSCs, showing an effect on increasing the proportion of MSCs at proliferative phase.
