Objective:To explore the effects of kangaroo nursing after cesarean section on the paternal role adaptation and subjective well-being of first-time fathers.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, a total of 160 first-time fathers of newborns delivered by cesarean section from May 2021 to May 2022 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University were continuously selected as research objects and randomly divided into experimental group (80 cases) and control group (80 cases) by random number table method. In the control group, the nursing staff carried out routine obstetric care after the birth of the newborns, the newborns were swaddled to keep warm and transferred to the ward, the fathers took care of them by the side; and the fathers were given postnatal routine education and guidance once a day, including newborn bathing, touching and umbilical buttock care, maternal breast care, breastfeeding, diet, medication and discharge precautions etc. The experimental group were given kangaroo nursing on care basis of control group: the father took a comfortable position that half leaned on the recliner with his shirt unbuttoned, the naked newborn was placed on the father′s chest at an angle of approximately 60 degree on the head up and feet down for maximum skin to skin contact with the help of researchers. The newborn′s back was covered with a blanket and wrapped in the father′s clothes, soft music was playing throughout the whole process, meanwhile, researchers encouraged interactions through verbal communications and touching between the father and the newborn. After newborns returned to the ward, they were given kangaroo nursing immediately by the fathers for the first time, and then twice a day in the same way, lasting for 30-40 min every time, and a total of 6 times of kangaroo nursing were completed during in first 3 days after birth. The average hospitalization period of both groups was 5 days. The father-role adjustment scale and subjective well-being scale were asseessed in the fathers, the independent sample t test was used to compare differences of father-role adjustment level and subjective well-being at the time of discharge between the two groups, the Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between the two variables. Results:The total score of paternal role adaptation, and the three dimensions scores including role identity, parent-child attachment establishment and nursing behavior implementation in the experimental group were all significantly higher than those in the control group (83.91±7.90 vs 78.79±9.44, 28.94±2.64 vs 27.85±3.36, 28.39±3.15 vs 26.46±3.52, 26.59±4.26 vs 24.48±3.81) ( t=3.725, 2.276, 3.647, 3.309, all P<0.05). The total score of subjective well-being, and the three dimensions scores including health worry, energy, melancholy or pleasant mood in the experimental were all significantly higher than those in the control group (88.34±6.38 vs 83.43±7.26, 7.70±1.77 vs 6.95±1.46, 20.03±3.15 vs 18.76±2.94, 19.41±2.01 vs 17.99±2.68) ( t=4.546, 2.928, 2.625, 3.805, all P<0.05), and were all significantly higher than those before the intervention (74.83±5.84, 6.11±2.22, 16.98±2.68, 15.18±2.13) ( t=13.069, 5.207, 6.261, 13.332, all P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between fathers′ subjective well-being and paternal role adaptation ( r=0.614, P<0.001). Conclusions:The father-centered kangaroo nursing after cesarean section can improve postpartum paternal role adaptation and subjective well-being of first-time fathers. There is a positive correlation between the subjective well-being and the paternal role adaptation level.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the mechanism of Osteoking against fracture, femoral head necrosis, osteoarthritis, and lumbar disc herniation by integrating heterogeneous information network mining and experimental validation. MethodOn the basis of the disease-related database and transcriptome expression profiling dataset, as well as the ETCM database, the gene sets related to four target diseases and the candidate target spectrum of Osteoking were obtained through the integration and analysis of bioinformatics data, and a "disease-syndrome-formula-target-pathway-effect" heterogeneous information network was constructed. In addition, by functional enrichment analysis, the core targets of Osteoking in interfering with the imbalance network of four kinds of bone injury diseases, the biological pathways involved, and the corresponding clinical symptoms were screened, and they were verified in animal experiments. ResultHeterogeneous information network mining indicates that Osteoking may commonly reverse the imbalance networks of fracture, femoral head necrosis, osteoarthritis, and lumbar disc herniation via regulating cell function and activity, inhibiting inflammatory response, reducing bone destruction, and improving the immune function of the body by modulating relevant core candidate targets such as RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (Akt1), catenin beta-1 (CTNNB1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), heat shock protein 90-alpha (HSP90AA1), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha isoform (PI3KCA), as well as related biological pathways such as phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), and Toll-like receptors. In particular, Osteoking may improve the blood supply of the fracture end by regulating blood circulation at the target site of the disease, and it may maintain the balance of bone metabolism by regulating hormone-related pathways to promote fracture healing. In addition, Osteoking may relieve lipid metabolism disorders by targeting and regulating lipid-related pathways, accelerate bone formation and bone repair, and delay the progression of femoral head necrosis. Osteoking may relieve the symptoms of pain by acting on neurological pathways to reduce local nociceptive stimulation in patients with osteoarthritis and lumbar disc herniation. Further experimental validation demonstrates that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is the most significantly enriched pathway for the key network targets of Osteoking for the four diseases. The candidate target of Osteoking may have the strongest association with the network of fracture-related genes. Therefore, this study chooses fracture as the target disease to verify the efficacy of Osteoking. The results show that Osteoking can accelerate bone formation and promote fracture healing by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling axis. ConclusionThe study shows that the main mechanism of "treating different diseases with an identical treatment" of four bone injury diseases with Osteoking involves cell function regulation and immune inflammation-related signaling pathways. Further experimental validation identifies that the PI3K/Akt signaling axis may be one of the key pathways of Osteoking to promote bone regeneration, bone reconstruction, and bone metabolism homeostasis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy and mechanisms of Osteoking in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in real-world practice, so as to provide a basis for the rational clinical use of Osteoking. MethodFrom the Osteoking for knee osteoarthritis case registration system, 638 KOA cases treated with Osteoking were selected and analyzed in SPSS 26.0. The clinical data were collected from 20 hospitals in China from May 2020 to December 2021. Descriptive analyses of patient age, gender, body mass index, course of treatment and other parameters were performed. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster universities arthritis index (WOMAC) scores before and after treatment. The integrative pharmacology-based research platform of traditional Chinese medicine (TCMIP) v2.0 was used for network analysis of the core targets of Osteoking in treating knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, 20 KOA patients treated with Osteoking in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from October to December in 2022 were enrolled in the treatment group, and 20 healthy volunteers in the control group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of related indicators to verify the prediction results. ResultA total of 638 KOA patients were treated with Osteoking, including 429 (67.24%) receiving Osteoking alone and 209 (32.76%) receiving Osteoking combined with other therapies. The female patients (415, 65.05%) were more than the male patients (223, 34.95%). The patients showed the mean age of (63.48±13.51) years, mean body mass index of (24.09±2.98) kg·m-2, and mean course of treatment of (15.78±9.66) days. Most of the patients were rated as grades Ⅱ (46.24%) and Ⅲ (34.64%) in Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grading and in the relief stage (82.45%) in clinical staging. There was no significant correlation between clinical staging and K-L grading results. The cluster analysis identified three TCM syndromes: Qi stagnation and blood stasis, cold-dampness obstruction, and liver-kidney deficiency. The overall clinical efficacy evaluation showed that VAS score decreased from (6.01±0.85) scores before treatment to (2.54±1.73) scores after treatment (P<0.05), and the WOMAC score decreased from (93.25±25.91) scores before treatment to (50.73±25.14) scores after treatment (P<0.05). The network analysis predicted that Osteoking might regulate the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways to exert the therapeutic effect. The clinical trial showed elevated TGF-β1 level (P<0.01) and lowered NF-κB subunit RELA and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 1A (TNFRSF1A) levels (P<0.05) after treatment. The synergistic effects of these changes provide a multidimensional and comprehensive therapeutic efficacy for KOA, alleviating the joint pain and limited mobility in patients. ConclusionOsteoking showed significant therapeutic efficacy in treating KOA. Osteoking may act on multiple pathways involved in cartilage metabolism and inflammation. The findings provide experimental evidence and theoretical support for elucidating the multi-target mechanism of Osteoking in treating KOA.
