Objective To explore the influence of continuing nursing care on sexual quality of patients after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy.Methods Seventy-eight patients with selective laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy enrolled from March 2014 to April 2015 were numbered according to their enrollment date,and divided into control group and intervention group randomly.Both groups were conducted laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy under general anesthesia.After the surgery,the control group was treated with standard nursing care and the intervention group received continuing nursing care beyond the standard nursing care.Participants' sexual quality of 3 months and 6 months after surgery were evaluated using the female sexual function index (FSFI) Results The scores of FSFI of intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group.Conclusion The continuing nursing care of patients after laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy can effectively improve patient's short-term sexual quality,which is worth of being applied in gynecology nursing care in the future.

BACKGROUND:Nerve growth factor is a protein that induces nerve growth and regulates biological behaviors such as proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the promoting effect of nerve growth factor on chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured,and nerve growth factor was transfected into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells by lentiviral transfection.The effects of nerve growth factor on the proliferation,migration,hypertrophic differentiation,and chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were detected by CCK-8 assay,cell scratch assay,alizarin red staining,and western blot assay,using the transfected null-loaded virus as control.To further investigate the promoting effect of nerve growth factor on the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,interleukin 1β was added in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transfected with empty virus and nerve growth factor for 14 days.The expression of proteins related to chondrogenic differentiation and hypertrophic differentiation was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)CCK-8 assay results showed that nerve growth factor had no significant effect on the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.(2)Compared with the control group,overexpression of nerve growth factor enhanced the migration ability of the cells,and the expression of cartilage-associated proteins type II collagen and SOX9 was up-regulated(P<0.05),while the expression of hypertrophic-associated proteins type X collagen and Runx2 was down-regulated(P<0.05).(3)Compared with the empty virus+interleukin 1β group,the expression of cartilage-associated proteins type II collagen and Sox9 was up-regulated(P<0.05),and the expression of hypertrophy-associated proteins type X collagen and Runx2 was down-regulated after overexpression of nerve growth factor(P<0.05).(4)The results indicated that nerve growth factor could promote the chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
