Objective:To explore the impact of family empowerment-based supervised follow-up nursing on the self-care ability and quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and to provide references for improving the treatment attitudes and compliance behaviors of patients.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted. Convenience sampling was used to select 100 IBD patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology at Lishui Central Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023. The patients were randomly divided into a study group (receiving family empowerment-based supervised follow-up nursing) and a control group (receiving routine continuing care). Before the intervention and three months after the intervention, the self-care ability, medication compliance, disease control effect, and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 99 IBD patients were included, with 50 in the study group, 27 males and 23 females, aged (39.55 ± 5.21) years old, and 49 in the control group, 28 males and 21 females, aged (40.24 ± 7.16) years old. Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in self-care ability, medication compliance, disease control effect, and quality of life between the two groups (all P>0.05). After three months of intervention, the self-care ability, medication compliance and quality of life scores in the study group were (141.27 ± 13.48), (91.02 ± 4.69), (185.21 ± 9.51) points, which were higher than the control group (120.17 ± 11.08), (85.69 ± 4.49), (173.58 ± 9.27) points, respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( t =-8.50, -5.77, -6.16, all P<0.05). The disease control effect score in the study group was (100.77 ± 9.42) points, lower than the control group (125.99 ± 7.87) points, the differences was statistically significant ( t =14.44, P<0.05). Conclusions:Family empowerment-based supervised follow-up nursing can improve the self-care ability, medication compliance, disease control effect, and quality of life in IBD patients.

BACKGROUND: Magnetic field can affect the growth and division of cancer cells both in vivo and in vitro, however, the effects on apoptosis of human liver cancer cells induced by magnetic field is still unclear.OBJECTIVE: To explore the inducing effect of extremely low fre quency (ELF) magnetic field on apoptosis of human liver cancer cell SK-HEP- 1.JESIGN: An open experiment with cells as the observational subjects.SETTING: Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiaotong University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out at the Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiaotong University from September 2004 to January 2005. The subject was human liver cancer cell line SK-HEP-1, purchased from cell bank of Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai.METHODS: SK-HEP-1 cells were inoculated to T-flasks at the density of 2.0×107 cells L-1, and cultivated in the DMEM containing 0.1 volume fraction of heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and 2 mmol/L L-glutamine. Exposure groups were exposed to 50 Hz, 20 mT magnetic field and the control groups were run concurrently under the same conditions with the exposed cultures but in a separate incubator which was free of magnetic field during 8-day culture process. The apoptosis of SK-HEP-1 cells were defined by DNA ladder assay, Hoechst 33258 staining and AO/EB staining respectively on day 8.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① DNA fragmentation pattern formation. ② The abnormal nucleus formation. ③ The percentage of apoptotic cells.RESULTS: ① Detection of internucleosomal DNA fragmentation by DNA ladder assay: After 8-day ELF magnetic field exposure, DNA fragmentation pattern was detected by DNA ladder assay, which was not observed in control groups (free of exposure). ② Fluorescence microscopy analysis of apoptosis by Hoechst 33258 staining: Hoechst 33258 staining was used to investigate the changes in the nucleus of cells, and many apoptotic bodies containing nuclear fragments were found in ELF magnetic field exposed cells, but just about none in untreated cells. At the same time, cytoplasmic shrinkage was observed in cells cultured under the exposure. And in some cells, even the cell membrane was unable to keep intact. ③ Fluorescence microscopy analysis of cell apoptosis by acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) double staining: After ELF magnetic field exposure, the percentage of viable cells in exposure groups (9.2%) was rather low compared with the control groups (91.8%), and was accompanied with a high apoptotic rate (72.3%), while only 4.2% in control group. A large number of apoptotic cells were at the early stage of apoptosis. The rate of apoptotic cells (18.5%)after treated by magnetic field was higher than that of control group (4%). With the AO/EB double staining, control cells appeared to be round,intact and bright green while some of the exposed cells exhibited irregular cell morphology and condensed nucleus.CONCLUSION: Apoptosis of human liver cancer cell SK-HEP-1 could be induced by 50 Hz, 20 mT magnetic field in vitro.

Objective: To study the effects of extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field with fixed parameters on human liver cancer cells (SK-HEP-1) at different aspects. Methods: SK-HEP-1 cells were exposed to 50Hz, 20mT magnetic field during the whole culture process, and then proliferation activity, growth kinetics, metabolic profile and cell cycle were analyzed. Results: 50Hz, 20mT magnetic field inhibits the growth and metabolism of SK-HEP-1 cells, and hampers their mitotic division. Conclusion: 50Hz, 20mT magnetic field could be a potential therapy in the treatment of human malignant tumors.
