1.Advance in studies on Glabridin
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2015;37(9):860-864
Glabridin (Glab) is an isoflavonoid originally isolated from the roots of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (Fabaceae). Glab is widely considered to be a phytoestrogen and has been associated with numerous biological properties ranging from antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, anti-atherogenic effects, to the regulation of energy metabolism. In this paper, a review on its biological activity was reviewed.

Modern Clinical Nursing 2015;(7):14-17
Objective To explore the effect of peer-education on self-efficacy of hemodialysis(HD) patients. Methods Totally 90 HD patients were divided into two groups equally. The intervention group received peer-education for 3 months and the control group received routine nursing. The two groups were compared in terms of score on self-efficacy. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the score on self-efficacy and every item between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). The score on self-efficacy and the items ofcontrol of depressive mood, the confidence in taking self-care measures, the confidence in doing other thingswere statistically significantly different between the two groups after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion Peer-education can improve HD patient′s self-efficacy.

China Pharmacist 2014;(4):546-549
Objective:To study the Raman spectrum and the surface enhanced Raman spectrum ( SERS) of cefalexin, cefadroxil and cephradine, and analyze the surface enhanced Raman spectrum of the three compounds under different pH conditions. Methods:The Raman spectrum and the surface enhanced Raman spectrum of the three compounds under different pH conditions were detected and measured by a portable Raman spectroscopy. Results: The results showed that the three compounds could exhibit characteristic peak information in the surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy corresponding to that in the normal Raman spectrum, and the pH values had certain impact on the surface enhanced Raman spectrum of the three substances. Conclusion: Both the Raman spectrum and the surface enhanced Raman spectrum of cefalexin, cefadroxil and cephradine reflect certain fingerprint characteristics, and it is feasible to use Raman scattering method to identify the three cephalosporins.

Objective:To explore the effect of micro-video education combined with active psychological management on the rehabilitation effect of hip replacement.Methods:From January to December 2018, 100 patients with total hip arthroplasty were divided into control group and observation group, 50 cases in each group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the observation group was given micro video education combined with positive psychological management. The depression, pain, joint function and complications were evaluated.Results:After the intervention, the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) score of patients in the observation group was (34.72±6.83) points, which was significantly lower than (40.58±7.59) points of the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( tvalue was 4.058, P<0.05); pain control education in the observation group and satisfaction scores for pain control or reduction methods were (43.01±5.72) and (63.77±8.62) points respectively, which were better than the control group's (33.96±4.58) and (55.15±9.27) points. The difference was statistically significant ( tvalues were 8.733, 4.815, P<0.05); the excellent and good rate of hip joint function in the observation group was 90.00% (45/50), which was higher than 64.00% (32/50) in the control group. The difference was statistically significant ( χ 2value was 4.336, P<0.05); the complication rate in the observation group was 2.00% (1/50), which was significantly lower than the control group's 18.00% (9/50). The difference was statistically significant ( χ 2value was 7.111, P<0.05); The scores of each item of quality of life in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( tvalues were- 9.859 to- 3.154, P<0.01). Conclusion:Micro video education combined with positive psychological management can improve the depression of patients after hip arthroplasty, reduce the degree of joint pain, promote the function of hip joint and reduce complications.

Objective To study the effect of ursolic acid on human laryngeal carcinoma Hep‐2 cells invasion and to explore its mechanism .Methods Methabenzthiazuron(M TT ) was used to observe the proliferation of Hep‐2 cells treated with various con‐centrations of ursolic acid at different time .Boyden chamber was used to compare ursolic acid effect on cell invasion .Western blot was used to the measure the NF‐κB protein expression .Gelatin zymography was used to the activity of MMP‐9 and MMP‐2 .Results Ursolic acid inhibited human laryngeal carcinoma Hep‐2 cells growth ,its effect showed dose dependent and time dependent (P <0 .01) .Boyden chamber results revealed that after the ursolic acid treatment Hep‐2 cells ,invasion ability showed a concentration de‐pendent decreased (P< 0 .01) .Western blot results revealed that ursolic acid showed a concentration dependent decreased on human laryngeal Hep‐2 cells NF‐κB protein expression(P< 0 .01) .Gelatinases spectrum revealed that ursolic acid a concentration depend ‐ent decreased on human laryngeal Hep‐2 cells MMP‐9 and MMP‐2 cells activity (P< 0 .01) .Conclusion Ursolic acid inhibit human laryngeal cancer Hep‐2 cell proliferation and invasion ,its mechanism is related to down‐regulate MMP‐9 and MMP‐2 activity and the NF‐κB protein expression .
