AIM To investigate effect of dipfluzine on sodium current (INa+) in isolated single guinea-pig ventricular myocytes. METHODS INa+ was measured by whole cell patch-clamp technique in single isolated guinea-pig ventricular myocytes which were prepared by enzymatic dissociation method. RESULTSCardiac INa+ was elicited by 50-ms pulses to +50 mV from holding potential at -80 mV with a step of +10 mV, which could be blocked completely by tetrodotoxin 10 μmol·L-1. The peak INa+ occurred at about -20 mV and the reversal potential for INa+ was about +30 mV. Dipfluzine inhibited cardiac INa+ in a concentration-dependent manner. The blocking effect of dipfluzine on INa+ was reversible. Dipfluzine suppressed cardiac INa+, without modifying maximum activation potential and reversal potential. The peak of INa+ was decreased by about 46% at -20 mV and shape of I-V curve was not altered by dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1. Dipfluzine shifted the steady-state inactivation curve of INa+ towards more negative without changing the slope factor and produced very little change in the steady-state activation curve towards more positive. The mean half activation voltage was (-34.9±5.1) mV and slope factor was (6.0±4.8) mV under control condition and (-33.7±3.6) mV and (5.6±2.4) mV following exposure to dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1. The half inactivation voltage was (-73.0±4.6)mV and slope factor was (4.8±1.8)mV under control condition and (-82.8±7.2)mV and (4.8±1.8)mV following dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1 treatment. Dipfluzine delayed recovery of cardiac INa+ from inactivation state. The time course of recovery was (36±11) ms in control group and (79±28) ms in dipfluzine 40 μmol·L-1 group. CONCLUSION Dipfluzine inhi- bits cardiac INa+ in a concentration-dependent manner and has higher affinity for the inactivated state than that for resting state of Na+ channels.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of wheat grain moxibustion on the immune function of mice immunosuppressed by cyclophosphamide,and to delve into the potential mechanisms by analyzing factors related to NF-κB signaling pathway.Sixty SPF-grade ICR mice were randomly allocated into four groups:blank group,model group,traditional Chinese medicine group and wheat grain moxibustion group,with 15 mice in each group.Immunosuppression was induced in mice of the model,traditional Chinese medicine and wheat grain moxibustion groups by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide at 80 mg/kg daily for three days,while mice of the blank group received an equivalent volume of saline.The traditional Chinese medicine group was treated with oral administration of Zhēn Qí Fú Zhèng granules,and the wheat grain moxibustion group was treated with wheat grain moxibustion at"Da Zhui,"bilateral"Zu San Li,"and bilateral"San Yin Jiao"once a day for seven consecutive days.After corresponding treatment,spleens were harvested from the mice of different groups for pathological examination,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was utilized to measure the serum levels of IL-2,IL-4,TNF-α and IFN-γ.Additionally,Western blot analysis was conducted to assess the protein expression levels of IκBα and P-IκBα in spleen tissue.Compared with the blank group,mice in the model group exhibited poorer general conditions,significantly reduced white blood cell(WBC)count(P＜0.01),extensive damage in spleen tissue,significant decreases in serum IL-4 and IL-2 concentrations,increases in TNF-α and IFN-γ levels(P＜0.01),lower level of P-IκBα protein in spleen tissue(P＜0.01),and higher level of IκBα protein(P＜0.01).These changes mentioned above were reversed in mice of both the wheat grain moxibustion group and the traditional Chinese medicine group(P＜0.01).Compared to the traditional Chinese medicine group,on the last day of treatment,the wheat grain moxibustion group showed slightly higher WBC counts(P＜0.05),better tissue repair,and lower levels of IFN-γ(P＜0.01).In conclusion,wheat grain moxibustion can affect the activity of NF-κB signaling pathway by regulating the relative expression of IκBα and P-IκBα,and then regulate the immune response of the body,thus play a role in alleviating the immunosuppression caused by cyclophosphamide.

Objective:To conduct clinical practice applicability evaluation and barrier analysis on the guideline for Facilitating Client Centered Learning. Methods:From September to October 2021, 11 experts were selected to use the expert meeting method to evaluate the clinical applicability of the recommended guidelines. From March to May 2022, 140 nurses from 10 pilot wards of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital were selected to conduct a survey using the self-designed Facilitating Client Centered Learning Guideline Clinical Practice Barrier Questionnaire. The barrier association rules were mined based on the Apriori algorithm. Results:Expert opinions showed that all 15 recommendations had clinical significance and all agreed to be implemented in clinical practice. In terms of current development status, ≥ 6 experts expressed that the item 2, 6, and 7 were very well implemented in clinical practice, and≥ 6 experts expressed that the item 3, 4, and 10 needed improvement, and ≥ 6 experts stated that the item 11, 12, and 14 were not carried out in clinical practice. In the investigation of barriers, a total of 140 questionnaires were distributed, and the effective response rate of the questionnaire was 92.86% (130/140). 25.38% (33/130) of nurses believed that all four factors were unobstructed. After professional screening, four association rules between barriers were summarized.Conclusions:The recommendations of the Facilitating Client Centered Learning guideline can be applied in clinical practice, but there is still a gap between clinical practice and guideline theory. The biggest barriers that may exist in clinical applications are insufficient labor and a lack of relevant nursing documents.

Objective To study the nutritional status of pregnant women in Shanxi Province before and after the implementation of the new standards of iodized salt content,provide the basis for scientific supplementation of iodine for pregnant women.Methods According to the method of population proportion sampling,30 county-level monitoring sites were selected,a primary school was selected from each county (city,district) by the method of simple random sampling and 40 students in 2011 or 50 students in 2014 aged 8-10 years were selected in each school,direct titration was used to detect salt iodine;at the same time,20 pregnant women were selected from each town where the primary school was located and urinary iodine was determined using arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006).Results A total of 1 182 and 1 437 salt samples was detected in Shanxi Province in 2011 and 2014,the median of salt iodine was 30.5 and 24.1 mg/kg,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (H =567.45,P ＜ 0.01);it was 95.41％,80.31％,76.62％ of the coverage rate of iodized salt,qualified rate of iodized salt,qualified iodized salt consumption rate in 2014,respectively;which were compared with those in 2011 (97.63％,97.49％,95.18％),the differences were statistically significant (x2 =9.27,232.40,166.25,P ＜ 0.01).A total of 440 and 630 urinary samples of pregnant women were tested in 2011 and 2014,the median of urinary iodine was 279.6 and 177.1 μg/L,respectively,iodine nutrition of pregnant women was more than adequate in 2011,and iodine nutrition was suitable in 2014.The difference was statistically significant (H =153.89,P ＜ 0.01).The proportion of pregnant women's median of urinary iodine less than 150 μg/L in 2014 [41.11％ (259/ 630)] was significantly higher than that in 2011 [8.18％ (36/440),x2 =140.68,P ＜ 0.01].The constituent ratio of 250 to 500 μg/L was significantly decreased [23.65％ (149/630) vs 54.77％ (241/440),x2 =108.33,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion It is at a reasonable level of iodine nutrition level of pregnant women in Shanxi after the adjustment of iodized salt content,but the ratio of ＜ 150 μg/L is increasing,which needs to be paid attention to.

Objective To observe the effects of grain-sized moxibustion on Th1 cell/Th2 cell(Th1/Th2)balance and transcription factors T-box transcription factor(T-bet)and GATA binding protein 3(GATA3)in immunosuppressive mice induced by chemotherapy.Methods According to the random number table method,32 SPF male CD-1(ICR)mice were randomly divided into the normal group,model group,levamisole hydrochloride group,and grain-sized moxibustion group,with eight mice per group.Except for the normal group,the immunosuppressive model was established by intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide(80 mg/kg,once daily for three consecutive days).Mice in the levamisole hydrochloride group were given levamisole hydrochloride solution(10 mg/kg)by gavage.Mice in the grain-sized moxibustion group was given grain-sized moxibustion at"Guanyuan"(CV4),bilateral"Zusanli"(ST36),and bilateral"Sanyinjiao"(SP6),with three Zhuang at each acupoint for approximately 30 s each.The intervention was administered once daily for seven consecutive days.The general condition of mice was observed.The spleen mass and spleen index were detected.The pathological changes of spleen tissue were observed by HE staining.The protein and mRNA expressions of T-bet,GATA3,interferon-γ(IFN-γ),and interleukin(IL)-4 in spleen tissue of mice were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR.The contents of IFN-γ,IL-2,and IL-4 in serum of mice were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results Compared with the normal group,the mice in the model group were slow in response,unstable in gait;the spleen weight and spleen index were increased(P<0.05);the structure of spleen tissue was disordered,the mRNA and protein expressions of T-bet and IFN-γ in spleen tissue were decreased,and the mRNA and protein expressions of GATA3 and IL-4 were increased(P<0.05);the contents of IFN-γ and IL-2 in serum were decreased,and the content of IL-4 was increased(P<0.05).Compared with the model group,the general condition of mice in the levamisole hydrochloride group and the grain-sized moxibustion group was improved,the structure of spleen tissue was improved,the mRNA and protein expressions of T-bet and IFN-γ in spleen tissue were decreased,and the mRNA and protein expressions of GATA3 and IL-4 were increased(P<0.05);the contents of IFN-γ and IL-2 in serum were decreased,and the content of IL-4 was increased(P<0.05).Conclusion Grain-sized moxibustion can significantly improve the immunosuppressive symptoms induced by chemotherapy.The mechanism may be through regulating the expressions of transcription factors T-bet and GATA3,regulating Th1/Th2 balance,and thus restoring the immune balance.
