Objective:To explore the effect of Teach-Back model on oral health behavior among the middle-aged and aged.Methods:From March 2017 to June 2018, 150 middle-aged and elderly patients undergoing oral examinations from the Department of Preventive Dentistry, Hospital of Stomatology, Sun Yat-sen University were selected as the survey subject by convenience sampling. Patients were divided into experimental group ( n=70) and control group ( n=80) . Control group was given regular oral health guidance, and experimental group implemented Teach-Back nursing care on the basis of control group. After 6 months of intervention, we compared the cognition of periodontal disease, oral health behavior, and periodontal health status of middle-aged and elderly patients between two groups. Results:After 6 months of intervention, the scores of daily oral hygiene habits, periodontal disease cognition and periodontal disease treatment behavior of experimental group were higher than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The Debris Index-Simplified (DI-S) , Calculus Index-Simplified (CI-S) , Gingival Index (GI) , Bleeing Index (BI) and Depth of Periodontal Pocket (PD) of experimental group were lower than those of control group with statistical differences ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Middle-aged and elderly people have poor periodontal disease cognition and need nursing intervention. Teach-Back model can improve the daily oral hygiene habits of middle-aged and elderly patients, improve their correct understanding of periodontal disease, and improve their oral health behavior and quality of life.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,the incidence of hyperuricemia caused by purine metabolism disorders has been increasing,which can induce inflammatory responses and lead to renal injury. OBJECTIVE:To explore the role and mechanism of solute carrier family 2 member 12(SLC2A12)in hyperuricemia-related renal injury. METHODS:Renal tubular cells(HK2 cells)were divided into five groups:HK2 group,HK2+uric acid group,HK2+uric acid+NC group,HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group,and HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12+MK-2206 group.HK2 cells were treated with uric acid and transfected with siRNA SLC2A12,followed by MK-2206 treatment to inhibit AKT expression.Cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay.Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay.qRT-PCR and western blot assay were used to detect fibrogenic factors as well as activation of the AKT/FOXO3a pathway.The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Uric acid treatment inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis in the HK2+uric acid group compared with the HK2 group.The proliferative ability of cells in the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group was further decreased and apoptotic cells were further increased compared with the HK2 group.Compared with the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group,the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12+MK-2206 group showed an increase in cell proliferation and a decrease in apoptotic cells.(2)Compared with the HK2 group,the connective tissue growth factor(CTGF),α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and transforming growth factor beta(TGF-β)expressions increased in the HK2+uric acid group;CTGF,α-SMA and TGF-β expression further increased in the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group.Compared with the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group,the CTGF,α-SMA and TGF-β expressions decreased.(3)Compared with the HK2 group,the expression of p-AKT,FOXO3a,and p-FOXO3a elevated in the HK2+uric acid group;the expression of p-AKT further increased,while the expression of FOXO3a and p-FOXO3a decreased in the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group.Compared with the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group,p-AKT expression decreased;FOXO3a and p-FOXO3a expression increased in the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12+MK-2206 group.(4)Compared with the HK2 group,interleukin-6,interleukin-1 β,and tumor necrosis factor α levels increased in the HK2+uric acid group;interleukin-6,interleukin-1 β,and tumor necrosis factor α levels further increased in the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group.Compared with the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12 group,interleukin-6,interleukin-1 β,and tumor necrosis factor α levels diminished in the HK2+uric acid+siSLC2A12+MK-2206 group.(5)These findings indicate that SLC2A12 may protect against hyperuricemia-induced renal injury by counteracting uric acid-induced tubular fibrosis and inflammation through activation of the FOXO3a pathway.
