Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has become one of the most prominent causes of chronic liver diseases and malignancies. However, few therapy has been approved. Radix Bupleuri (RB) is the most frequently used herbal medicine for the treatment of liver diseases. In the current study, we aim to systemically evaluate the therapeutic effects of saikosaponin A (SSa) and saikosaponin D (SSd), the major bioactive monomers in RB, against NAFLD and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Our results demonstrated that both SSa and SSd improved diet-induced NAFLD. Integrative lipidomic and transcriptomic analysis revealed that SSa and SSd modulated glycerolipid metabolism by regulating related genes, like

Objective:To evaluate the application of SBAR mode handover card in transferring patients with mechanical ventilation for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.Methods:A total of 200 patients with mechanical ventilation, who were admitted to Zhejiang Mingzhou Rehabilitation Hospital and needed hyperbaric oxygen therapy from March 2019 to March 2020, were randomized into observation group and control group with 100 subjects in each group. When transferring the patients from ward to hyperbaric oxygen therapy center, the observation group used our self-designed SBAR mode handover card, while the control group used the conventional handover card. The incidence of nursing adverse events, some medical record missing during handover, nurses’ satisfaction rate on the transferring, and average transferring time were compared between the two groups.Results:There were 8 nursing adverse events and 2 cases of some medical record missing during handover in the observation group, which were less than the 21 events and the 11 cases in the control group. The nurses’ satisfaction rate was 96.0% in the observation group, which was significantly higher than that (83.0%) in the control group, with a statistically significance difference ( P<0.05). The average handover time of the observation group [(9.95±1.23) min] was shorter than that of the control group [(22.46±1.38) min], with a statistically significance difference ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SBAR mode handover card can standardize the handover of patients with mechanical ventilation for transferring to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, effectively reduce the occurrence of nursing adverse event and some medical record missing during handover, improve the handover efficiency, and the satisfaction rate of the nurses, so as to ensure the safety of transferring the patients in critical condition.

As one of the common types of hallucinations, auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) frequently occur across multiple psychiatric diseases especially in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). Nevertheless, the a etiology and pathogenesis of it remain unclear. Currently, several interventions showed limited efficacy in treating AVHs. AVATAR therapy aiding for AVHs in people with psychosis has received growing attention during the past few years. Previous studies indicated that AVATAR therapy could significantly alleviate the frequency, duration, beliefs re-origin of voices and intensity of distress. Therefore, the current study systematically reviewed AVATAR therapy for AVHs, including the specific therapy processes, limitations in existing literature, and future research and clinical implications, to improve the clinical treatment and provide insights for exploring the pathogenesis, and prognosis of AVHs.
