Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)on gut microbiota and serum inflammatory factors interleukin(IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α in Crohn disease(CD)model rats. Methods:Thirty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal control(NC)group with 10 rats and a modeling group with 26 rats.In the modeling group,the CD rat model was prepared with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS)enema.After successful modeling,the rats were randomly divided into a CD model(CD)group,an EA group,and a Western medicine(WM)group.The NC and CD groups received no treatment;the EA group was treated with EA for 20 min each time,with 7 consecutive days'intervention;the WM group received mesalazine enteric-coated tablet solution by gavage once a day for 7 d.The changes in body mass and disease activity index(DAI)were observed.Serum IL-1β and TNF-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological changes of colon tissues,and 16S rDNA sequencing was used to analyze the structural changes of gut microbiota. Results:Compared with the NC group,the body mass of rats in the CD group decreased(P<0.01),and the DAI score increased(P<0.01);the colon tissue structure was disordered,and many inflammatory cells were present;also,IL-1β and TNF-α increased significantly(P<0.01).As a result,the diversity of gut microbiota decreased,and the abundance of some conditional pathogenic bacteria(such as Prevotella)increased,while the abundance of beneficial bacteria(such as Lactobacillus,Rochella,and Spirillum)decreased.After the intervention,compared with the CD group,the body mass of rats in the EA group and WM group increased(P<0.01);the DAI score decreased(P<0.01),the colon tissue structure improved,and the IL-1β and TNF-α levels decreased(P<0.01);the diversity of gut microbiota increased(P<0.05),and the abundance of some conditional pathogenic bacteria decreased while the abundance of beneficial bacteria increased in the EA group;whereas the diversity of gut microbiota in the WM group was not statistically different(P>0.05). Conclusion:EA can reduce the damage of colon mucosa,regulate the imbalance of gut microbiota,and inhibit the serum inflammatory factor IL-1β and TNF-α expression in CD rats.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for positive margins after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions, and to follow up the recurrence.Methods:The endoscopic, clinical and pathological data of 489 patients with early gastric cancer or precancerous lesions treated by ESD in Fujian Provincial Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively collected. They were categorized into a negative group (371 cases), a low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN)-positive group (79 cases), and a high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN) or cancer-positive group (39 cases) according to the different margins. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors for positive margins, the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test to compare the risk of recurrence in different margin groups, and the Cox proportional risk regression model to explore the associated factors that caused recurrence in those with positive margins.Results:In the 489 patients, the positive resection margin rate was 24.1% (118/489), of which HGIN or cancer accounted for 33.1% (39/118). LGIN-positive margin was more likely to occur for lesions larger than 10 cm 2 ( OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.13-2.08, P=0.033), in the presence of ulcers ( OR=2.92, 95% CI: 1.37-4.54, P=0.012) and for 1-2 years of ESD experience [ OR=1.69 (1-2 years VS 5-6 years), 95% CI: 1.51-1.94, P=0.026]. Those located in the upper 1/3 of the stomach [ OR=3.64 (upper 1/3 VS lower 1/3), 95% CI: 1.27-5.50 P=0.010] and submucosal infiltration (SM1 VS M1+M2: OR=2.37, 95% CI: 1.04-5.72, P=0.028; SM2 VS M1+M2: OR=6.08, 95% CI: 1.31-12.75, P=0.002) were high risk factors for HGIN/cancer-positive margin. Postoperative follow-up was completed in 337 patients, with a median follow-up time of 26.0 (22) months. The overall cumulative recurrence was 5.3% (18/337), 2.1% (5/239) in the negative margin group, 8.3% (6/72) in the LGIN-positive margin group, and 26.9% (7/26) in the HGIN/cancer-positive group, with statistically significant differences among the 3 groups ( P<0.05). Risk factors for recurrence in the positive margin group included positive basal margins ( HR=5.17, 95% CI: 1.47-14.09, P=0.011) and SM1 invasion ( HR=4.82, 95% CI: 1.38-14.77, P=0.013). Conclusion:Positive margins after ESD for early gastric cancer and precancerous lesions are related to lesion location, size, presence of ulceration, depth of infiltration, and endoscopists' experience. The overall risk of recurrence is higher in those with positive margins than in those with negative margins. Additional treatments need to be considered comprehensively for those with submucosal invasion and positive basal margins.

Objective:To investigate the longitudinal changes and influencing factors of out-of-hospital functional exercise compliance in patients with lumbar disc herniation treated conservatively based on patient-based compliance curve (PBCC) .Methods:From April to September 2020, the convenient sampling method was used to select 88 patients with lumbar disc herniation treated conservatively in Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the research objects. The score of out-of-hospital functional exercise compliance questionnaire of patients with lumbar disc herniation was measured from the time of discharge, once every 2 weeks, and the PBCC of functional exercise was drawn after continuous measurement to the 24th week , taking time as independent variable ( x) and functional exercise compliance index as dependent variable ( y) . Univariate and multiple linear regression analyses were used to explore the influencing factors of 24-week compliance index. A total of 88 questionnaires were distributed, among which 3 patients withdrew due to surgery and 11 patients were lost to follow-up. A total of 74 valid questionnaires were finally recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 84.09% (74/88) . Results:Within 24 weeks of discharge, the PBCC formula of the total functional exercise score of patients was y=0.005 x3-0.196 x2+1.436 x+59.197 ( R2=0.898, F=26.517, P<0.01) . The PBCC formula of physical exercise was y=0.008 x3-0.337 x2+3.616 x+56.153 ( R2=0.878, F=21.570, P<0.01) . The formula of exercise effect supervision PBCC was y=-0.006 x3+0.309 x2-5.315 x+76.371 ( R2=0.910, F=30.458, P<0.01) . The PBCC formula of actively seeking advice was y=0.012 x3-0.460 x2+3.931 x+44.071 ( R2=0.865, F=19.217, P<0.01) . Except for the PBCC of effect supervision, the changes of other PBCC showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. The average compliance index in 24 weeks was (57.73±8.20) , the high peak appeared in the 4th week and the index was (64.08±8.91) . The low peak appeared in the 18th week and the index was (52.42±7.81) . The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the compliance level of rehabilitation exercise in patients with lumbar protrusion in different age, education level, course of lumbar protrusion, pain degree, accompanying symptoms, functional exercise methods and disease knowledge ( P<0.05) . The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of functional exercise compliance of patients were disease knowledge, pain degree, course of lumbar protrusion and functional exercise method ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The functional exercise compliance of lumbar disc herniation patients shows a horizontal "S" -like dynamic change. During the period of decreased compliance, regular rehabilitation guidance and health education, pain management and prevention of recurrence are necessary measures to improve functional exercise compliance of patients.

Objective To understand the new standards for nursing grading,different level of care on the feelings of patients for nursing service,in order to improve the nursing service mode and accelerate hospitals to promote sustained and healthy development of the high quality nursing service and provide the beneficial reference. Methods Using stratified sampling,self-designed questionnaire was utilized to cross-sectional investigate the multi-dimensional situation of 286 patients in three class Ⅲ grade A hospitals in Guangdong province from June 2015 to October 2015. Results Different levels of care for patients with nursing services in six aspects of the feelings were different,and the ward management,interpersonal support and comprehensive feelings compared that the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Three level care patients in these three aspects of the feelings were poor,but special care of patients with different dimensions were better. Conclusions Three-level care patients has a relatively poor experience in nursing services,so it is recommended to enhance the concept of rehabilitation through ward management to interpersonal support,so as to meet their individual needs. Simultaneously,in order to implement the new nursing grading standards well, we can try to refine and quantify the classification of care and combined with the patient's feelings to determine the classification of care,so it more accurately reflect the actual situation of patients, and help improve the quality of care services.

Objective To detect and explore the expression and clinical significance of dual specificity tyrosine phosphorylation regulated kinase1b (Dyrk1b) in the specimens and cells of cervical lesions. Methods (1)All the data were collected from 75 patients with cervical cancer and 52 cases with squamous intraepithelial lesion(SIL)admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical College during Jan. 2011 to Dec. 2013 and confirmed by pathological examination, included 60 cases of stageⅠand 15 cases of stageⅡ, 12 cases with low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(LSIL)and 40 cases with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion(HSIL). While, 28 cases with chronic cervicitis were chosen as the control group. The protein expression of Dyrk1b was detected by immunohistochemistry among the four groups.(2)The expression of Dyrk1b in HeLa and SiHa cells were detected by western blot method and the expression of Dyrk1b protein were also detected after treatment of AZ191 (5, 10 μmol/L) for 48 hours in HeLa and SiHa cells.(3)The cellular survival and proliferation of HeLa and SiHa cells treated by different concentrations of AZ191(2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 μmol/L)for 48 hours were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.(4)The rate of apoptosis of HeLa and SiHa cells was detected by flowcytometry after treatment of AZ191 (5, 10μmol/L) for 48 hours. Results (1)The positive rates of Dyrk1b protein in chronic cervicitis, LSIL, HSIL and cervical squamous cancer by immunohistochemistry were 11%(3/28), 1/12, 42%(17/40)and 71%(53/75), respectively. The expression of Dyrk1b in cervical squamous cancer and HISL were higher than those in LSIL and chronic cervicitis (P<0.01), there were significant difference between cervical squamous cancer and HSIL, or between HSIL and LSIL(all P<0.05), while there were not significant difference between LSIL and chronic cervicitis(P>0.05). Expression of Dyrk1b was correlated with stromal invasion depth of cervical cancer (P<0.05), but not with age, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, and serum squamous cell carcinom antigen(SCC-Ag)levels (all P>0.05). (2) Dyrk1b protein was expressed in different levels in HeLa and SiHa cells, and the expression of Dyrk1b was decreased gradually as the increased of the concentration of AZ191 in both HeLa and SiHa cells by treatment of AZ191 for 48 hours. (3) Different concentration of AZ191 treated on cervical cancer cells could inhibit the cellular proliferation and induce cell apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner(P<0.01), concomitant to the decreased cell survival rate. The apoptosis rate of HeLa and SiHa were increased significantly after 10μmol/L AZ191-treatment for 48 hours, but no any difference induced by 5 μmol/L AZ191-treatment compared to control group. Also,there was no any difference between Hela and SiHa cells in either inhibitory effect or apoptosis rate induced by AZ191. Conclusions Dyrk1b is over-expressed in either specimens or cells of cervical cancer. The expression of Dyrk1b protein in cervical lesions is increased as the progression of disease. Dyrk1b inhibitor AZ191 could inhibit cellular proliferation and induce apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner in cervical cancer cells.
