Objective To explore a feasible simplified premedication protocol for preventing hypersensitivity reactions to taxanes. Methods The electronic medical record system was used to search for data from 49 patients with advanced gastric cancer who received paclitaxel liposome treatment for the first time in the gastroenterology department of Shanghai Changhai Hospital from 2021-06-01 to 2024-06-30, including premedication protocols, allergic reactions, and other adverse reactions. Results Among 31 patients, the premedication regimen included oral dexamethasone 9 mg at 12 h and 6 h prior to liposomal paclitaxel, plus oral loratadine 10 mg and oral ranitidine 150 mg at 12 h prior to treatment. Among 18 patients, the regimen included oral dexamethasone 9 mg at 12 h and 6 h prior to treatment, and oral loratadine 10 mg at 12 h prior to treatment. None of the patients experienced allergic reactions. The incidence of other adverse reactions did not differ significantly between the two groups（P>0.05）. Conclusion Based on literature and practice, a dual simplified premedication protocol of oral corticosteroids（GC）combined with oral H1 receptor blockers（H1RA）was proposed, which provided a new idea for doctors. Further clinical studies are needed to verify its effectiveness.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of the miR-518a-5p/histone deacetylase 6(HDAC6)axis in DNA oxidative damage in ovarian cancer(OC)SKOV3 cells.Methods Expression levels of miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 mRNA in OC tissues and in various cancer cells(A2780,SKOV3,CAOV3)were detected by qRT-PCR.SKOV3 cells were separated into Control,miR-NC,miR-518a-5p mimics,miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC,and miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 groups.Cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by colony-forming assay and Hoechst 33258 staining.Expression of phosphorylated histone H2AX(γ-H2AX)was detected by immunofluorescence assay and reactive oxygen species(ROS)were detected by flow cytometry.HDAC6,Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax),and B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2)protein expression were analyzed by Western blot.The regulatory relationship between miR-518a-5p and HDAC6 was analyzed by dual luciferase assay.The effect and mechanism of miR-518a-5p on oxidative DNA damage in OC cells were studied in a xenotransplantation tumor model.Results miR-518a-5p expression was decreased and HDAC6 expression was increased in OC tissues and A2780,SKOV3,and CAOV3 cells(P＜0.001).Expression levels of miR-518a-5p were lowest and expression levels of HDAC6 were highest in SKOV3 cells,and SKOV3 cells were therefore selected for subsequent experiments.miR-518a-5p expression,apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics group compared with the miR-NC group,while HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,Bcl-2 expression,and colony-formation number were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 mRNA and protein expression,colony-formation number,and expression of Bcl-2 were higher in the miR-518a-5p mimics+pc-HDAC6 group compared with the miR-518a-5p mimics+pcDNA-NC group,and the apoptosis rate,number of γ-H2AX-positive cells,relative ROS fluorescence intensity,and expression of Bax were all lower(P＜0.001).HDAC6 had a targeted regulatory relationship with miR-518a-5p.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p decreased tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression in tumor tissues,and increased γ-H2AX expression in vivo(P＜0.001).Upregulation of HDAC6 expression by overexpression of miR-518a-5p increased graft tumor volume,weight,and HDAC6 protein expression and decreased γ-H2AX-positive expression(P＜0.05).Conclusions miR-518a-5p expression is reduced and HDAC6 expression is increased in OC tissues and cells.Overexpression of miR-518a-5p can induce oxidative DNA damage in SKOV3 cells by inhibiting HDAC6 expression,thereby inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting cell apoptosis.

(Peri)Menopausal insomnia is one of the most common symptoms experienced by women in(peri)menopausale,and can cause varying degrees of damage to both the physical and mental health of individuals.Modern medicine believes that the decline in estrogen levels and the imbalance in estrogen receptor expression are closely related to the occurrence of(peri)menopausale insomnia in women.Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the imbalance of yin and yang in the body,caused by the disharmony between the heart and kidney,is an important factor in the onset of this disease.Professor Xiao Chengcong,a renowned master of traditional Chinese medicine,has summarized years of clinical experience and has developed a unique therapeutic approach for this disease using the harmonizing method.Her self-designed empirical formula,Gengxin Decoction,has been proven to have a good therapeutic effect in clinical trials.The team has further confirmed in animal studies that Gengxin Decoction can increase estrogen levels,promote estrogen receptor expression in the hypothalamus,influence the regulation of monoamine neurotransmitters,enhance the negative gene expression of the biological clock,reduce brain excitability,and restore the circadian rhythm of the biological clock.This article discusses the decline in estrogen levels and the imbalance in estrogen receptor expression which promote the occurrence and development of(peri)menopausal insomnia,the role of Gengxin Decoction and the harmonizing method in the etiology and pathogenesis of(peri)menopausal insomnia,and the alignment between the physiological effects of Gengxin Decoction and the balance of estrogen levels and estrogen receptor expression,aiming to reveal the scientific connotation of Professor Xiao Chengcong's use of the harmonizing method to treat(peri)menopausal insomnia,to provide a reference for clinical treatment,and to promote the dissemination and inheritance of the academic thoughts of traditional Chinese medicine master Professor.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of Shengmai Yin on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in-jury(MI/RI)in vitro and in vivo and to unravel the underlying mechanism.Methods SD rats were divid-ed into the sham group,model group,and Shengmai Yin group(SM).Rat MI/RI model was established.Cardiac function,infarct area,pathological changes,cardiomyocyte apoptosis,macrophage infiltration,and serum cTnT and CK-MB levels were measured.The mRNA and protein expressions of Calpain-1 and Cal-pain-2 were assessed.The hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)model was constructed in H9c2 cells.The active ingredients of Shengmai Yin were screened using net-work pharmacology and verified by CCK-8.In the car-diomyocytes H/R model,Fluo-4 AM staining was used to detect the changes of Ca2+levels.Results Com-pared with model group,LVEF and LVFS of Shengmai Yin-treated rats increased,myocardial infarction area was reduced,while myocardial tissue injury was allevi-ated.Myocardial apoptosis rate and the number of macrophages were reduced.Similarly,cTnT and CK-MB levels decreased.In addition,the expression lev-els of Calpain-1 and Calpain-2 mRNA and protein de-creased in the SM treatment group.Under the H/R model,all the active ingredients of Shengmai decoction had protective effects on cardiomyocytes,and the treat-ment could reduce the level of Ca2+in cardiomyocytes.Conclusions Shengmai Yin has protective effects on MI/RI in rats.This effect may be related to the de-crease in Ca2+levels,as well as Calpain-1 and Calap-in-2 mRNA and protein expression.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of nursing interventions based on self-efficacy theory in patients with primary glaucoma undergoing scleral flap suture trabeculectomy.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to select 350 patients with primary glaucoma undergoing scleral flap suture trabeculectomy admitted to the Department of Ophthalmology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2021 to December 2023. Participants were randomly divided into a control group ( n=175) and an intervention group ( n=175) using a random number table. The control group received routine nursing care, while the intervention group received nursing interventions based on self-efficacy theory for a duration of three months. Visual status (visual acuity and intraocular pressure), self-management behaviors, and vision-related quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Results:After the intervention, the intervention group had significantly better visual acuity and lower intraocular pressure compared to the control group (both P<0.05). Scores across all dimensions of the Glaucoma Self-Management Questionnaire were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group, while scores on the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire were significantly lower (both P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing interventions based on self-efficacy theory are effective in improving visual acuity and reducing intraocular pressure, enhancing self-management behaviors, and improving vision-related quality of life in patients with primary glaucoma undergoing scleral flap suture trabeculectomy.
