Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2008;24(14):70-71
Objective To Study the supplementary effect of internet communication technologydoctor-patient communication information system in the health education of patients in hand surgery department. Methods We divided 200 outpatients as well as 200 inpatients in hand surgery department into the control group and the test group with 100 cases in each group.We gave health education to the test group by sending short messages using doctor-patient communication information system. The control group received health education by routine method.The incidence rate of complications after operation in the two groups of inpatients and two groups of outpatients was compared. Results Statistical difference existed between the test group and the control group of inpatients and the test group and the control group of outpatients. Conclusions The application of internet communication technology of doctor-patient communication information system in the health education for patients in hand surgery department could effectivelydecrease the incidence rate of complications after operation.

Objective To observe the effect of curcumin on the expression of smad7 and TGF-β1 in rats renal tubular cells of with Ang II, and discuss the mechanism of curcumin to improve renal interstitial fibrosis.Methods Cultured rat renal tubular epithelial cells were divided into the blank group, the Ang II control group and the low, medium and high dose curcumin group. The rest of the groups were intervened by 10-8 mol/L Ang II except the blank group; the low, medium and high dose groups of curcumin were intervened by 2.5, 5.0, 10.0μmol/L curcumin. Then Western blot was used to detect the expression of TGF-β1 and smad7 protein, RT-PCR was used to detect the TGF-β1 and smad7 mRNA expression.Results Compared with the blank group, the expression of TGF-β1 protein (0.23 ± 0.03vs. 0.16 ± 0.01), and TGF-β1 mRNA (1.89 ± 0.20vs. 1.00 ± 0.00) significantly increasedin AngⅡ control group (P<0.05), and the expression of smad7 protein (0.19 ± 0.03vs. 0.24 ± 0.02), and smad7 mRNA (0.48 ± 0.05vs. 1.00 ± 0.00) significantly reduced in AngⅡcontrol group (P<0.05). Compared with the AngⅡ control group, the expression of TGF-β1 protein in low, medium and high dose curcumingroup (0.18 ± 0.02, 0.17 ± 0.02, 0.16 ± 0.03vs. 0.23 ± 0.03) and TGF-β1 mRNA (1.58 ± 0.11, 1.34 ± 0.16, 0.97 ± 0.19vs. 1.89 ± 0.20) significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the expression of smad7 protein (0.28 ± 0.04, 0.31 ± 0.03, 0.34 ± 0.04vs. 0.19 ± 0.03) and smad7 mRNA (0.68 ± 0.07, 0.80 ± 0.06, 0.98 ± 0.09vs.0.48 ± 0.05) increased significantly (P<0.05).Conclusions Curcumin can thus play its role in renal protection by counteract the AngⅡ mediated renal interstitial fibrosis. Its mechanism may be related to the reduction of TGF-β1 protein and its mRNA expression, up regulation of smad7 protein and its mRNA expression.

AIM:To explore the regulatory effect of microRNA-3666 (miR-3666) on the expression of its tar-get gene phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) in leukemic cells.METHODS: miR-3666 expression levels in normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells and leukemic cells were determined by quantitative real-time PCR.miR-3666 targeting PTEN 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) was predicted by TargetScan software .3'UTR of PTEN was inserted in the dual luciferase reporter vector psiCHECK 2.The reporter activity was evaluated by the Dual-Lu-ciferase Reporter Assay System after the luciferase promoter vector and miRNA were co -transfected into HEK293T cell line. K562 cells were transfected with synthetic miR-3666 inhibitor ( anti-miR-3666) or a synthetic control miRNA ( anti-miR-C) .The expression of PTEN protein in the above transfected K 562 cells was determined by Western blotting .RESULTS:miR-3666 was up-regulated in the human leukemic cell lines and primary leukemic cells compared to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells .The results of dual luciferase assays validated PTEN as a specific target gene of miR-3666.Inhi-bition of miR-3666 resulted in an up-regulation of PTEN protein expression in the K 562 cells.CONCLUSION:miR-3666 is over-expressed in leukemic cells .The abnormal over-expression of miR-3666 may play a key role in leukemia due to the down-regulation of PTEN .

Objective To explore the effect of living mode on quality of life and life satisfaction of patients with spinal cord injury who survived Tangshan earthquake. Methods From February to May, 2016, 76 patients with spinal cord injury survived the earthquake were in-vestigated, among whom 38 patients lived in the nursing home or rehabilitation village and the other 38 patients discretely lived at home. Their quality of life and life satisfaction were assessed with WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) and Life Satisfaction Assess-ment respectively. Results The scores of physical, psychological, social adaptation and environment field in WHOQOL-BREF were signifi-cantly higher in the concentrated living group than in the scattered living group (t>8.97, P<0.001), as well as the life satisfaction (t=6.55, P<0.001). Conclusion The concentrated living mode could improve the quality of life and life satisfaction of the patients with spinal cord inju-ry survived Tangshan earthquake.

Chronic joint pain due to loss of cartilage function, degradation of subchondral bone, and related conditions are common plights of an arthritis patient.Antioxidant compounds could solve the problems in arthritic condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-arthritic activity of D-carvone against complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced arthritis in rats. D-carvone was orally administered for 25 days at the doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg against CFA-induced arthritic rats. Changes in body weight, paw swelling, organ index, hematological parameters, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory cytokines, and histopathology were recorded.Oral treatment of D-carvone significantly improved the body weight, reduced the paw swelling, edema formation, and organ index in arthritic rats. The levels of white blood cells were reduced, red blood cells and hemoglobin levels were improved in D-carvone treated arthritic rats. Lipid peroxidation levels were lowered whereas enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were significantly elevated by D-carvone administration against arthritic rats. D-carvone significantly modulated inflammatory cytokine levels and improved the ankle joint pathology against CFA-induced arthritic inflammation. In conclusion, D-carvone proved significant anti-arthritic activity against CFA-induced arthritis in rats.
