Objective:To explore latent class of symptoms related to psychological trauma and characteristics in patients with pregnancy loss, and to analyze the related influencing factors.Methods:From July 2022 to June 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to select 709 cases of pregnancy loss patients who visited the Maternity Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University as the survey subjects. The survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) self-assessment scale, the hospital anxiety and depression scale, and the pittsburgh sleep index scale. Exploratory latent class analysis (LCA) of symptoms related to psychological trauma was performed by Mplus8.3, and then multivariate logistic regression was used to identify the factors influencing the latent classes.Results:A total of 691 patients with pregnancy loss were eventually investigated, with a total PTSD score of 24.00 (19.00, 33.00), a total anxiety score of 6.00 (3.00, 9.00), a total depression score of 6.00 (3.00, 9.00), and a total sleep disorder score of 7.00 (4.00, 9.00). Symptoms related to psychological trauma could be classified into 3 potential categories named high symptom group [20.4% (141/691)], anxiety-depression group [15.3% (106/691)] and low symptom group [64.3% (444/691)]. The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that per capita monthly household income >8 000 yuan ( OR=0.477, 95% CI: 0.272-0.835, P=0.010) and having a spouse accompanying the patient at the time of admission ( OR=0.352, 95% CI: 0.234-0.532, P<0.001) were protective factors for the high symptom group, and gestational week≥28 weeks ( OR=3.192, 95% CI: 1.619-6.292, P=0.001) and assisted reproductive pregnancy ( OR=1.877, 95% CI: 1.075-3.277, P=0.027) were risk factors for the high symptom group. Conclusion:Symptoms associated with psychological trauma in patients with pregnancy loss have distinct categorical characteristics, and healthcare professionals should focus on patients with pregnancy loss in the high symptom group during hospitalization, and adopt targeted interventions according to the symptoms related to psychological trauma in different categories of patients with pregnancy loss in order to avoid serious psychological problems.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Asari Radix et Rhizoma-Zingiberis Rhizoma herb pair （XGHP） on lung and liver lipid metabolism in rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）. MethodForty SD male rats were divided into a normal group （10 rats） and a model group （30 rats）. The method of cigarette smoke + tracheal injection of lipopolysaccharide（LPS） + cold stimulation was used to replicate COPD model with the syndrome of cold phlegm obstruction in lung. A COPD group， a XGHP group （5.4 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and an aminophylline group （0.5 g·kg^-1·d^-1） were established after successfully inducing the model， with 10 rats in each group. After treatment， the serum triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）， and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） levels of rats in each group were measured. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometer （GC-MS） was used to detect the differential metabolites in the lung and liver tissues of rats in each group， and the relevant targets of the differential metabolites were predicted by network pharmacology. Molecular docking was used to verify the binding ability of key components in XGHP to the relevant targets in network pharmacology. The mRNA and protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α （PPARα） and fatty acid binding protein 4 （FABP4） in lung and liver tissues of rats in each group were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction （PCR） and Western blot. ResultXGHP significantly increased the levels of TG， TC， and LDL-C in serum （P<0.05）， and decreased the level of HDL-C （P<0.05） in rats with COPD. GC-MS results showed that there were 8 lung differential metabolites and 17 liver differential metabolites in the COPD group and XGHP group. Network pharmacology predicted 59 common targets for the two differential metabolites， mainly enriched in the PPAR signaling pathway. Molecular docking results showed that the main components in XGHP were well combined with both PPARα and FABP4. Real-time PCR showed that XGHP effectively up-regulated the expression levels of PPARα and FABP4 mRNA （P<0.05）， and Western blot showed that XGHP effectively up-regulated the expression levels of PPARα and FABP4 proteins （P<0.05） in lung and liver tissues of rats with COPD. ConclusionXGHP effectively improves the blood lipid levels of rats with COPD， which may be related to the increase of the expression levels of PPARα and FABP4 mRNA and proteins in the PPAR signaling pathway， thus regulating lung and liver lipid metabolism.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yangxue Rougan pills on a rat model of liver fibrosis induced by multiple factors and the mechanism of action of Yangxue Rougan pills in the treatment of liver fibrosis. Methods A total of 50 male rats were randomly divided into blank control group, multi-factor model group, Fuzheng Huayu capsule group, and high-, middle-, and low-dose Yangxue Rougan pill groups. The rats in the blank control group were given normal water and feed, and those in the other groups were given modified high-fat low-protein diet and 5% alcohol, as well as subcutaneous injection of olive oil solution containing 40% carbon tetrachloride and intraperitoneal injection of pig serum 0.5 mL per rat, twice a week for 12 consecutive weeks. Since week 7, the rats in the high-, middle-, and low-dose Yangxue Rougan pill groups were given Yangxue Rougan pills at a dose of 9.5, 4.75, and 2.38 g/kg, respectively, those in the Fuzheng Huayu capsule group were given Fuzheng Huayu capsules at a dose of 0.75 g/kg, and those in the blank control group and the multi-factor model group were given an equal volume of distilled water by gavage every day for 6 consecutive weeks. The rats were treated at week 12. HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the degree of liver fibrosis in rats, and PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression of TGF-β1, Smad3, and Smad7 in the liver. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of continuous data between multiple groups, and the Dunnett's t -test was used for further comparison between two groups. Results Compared with the blank control group, the multi-factor model group had a severely damaged lobular structure and a significantly higher degree of liver fibrosis, with the formation of pseudolobules with different sizes; compared with the multi-factor model group, the Yangxue Rougan pill groups had a significant improvement in the degree of liver fibrosis, with the most significant therapeutic effect in the high- and middle-dose Yangxue Rougan pill groups. Compared with the blank control group, the multi-factor model group had significant increases in the expression of TGF-β1 and Smad3 and a significant reduction in the expression of Smad7 in liver tissue (all P < 0.05); compared with the multi-factor model group, the Yangxue Rougan pill groups had a significant reduction in the expression of TGF-β1 and a significant increase in the expression of Smad7 (all P < 0.05); compared with the multi-factor model group, the high- and middle-dose Yangxue Rougan pill groups had a significant reduction in the expression of Smad3 (both P < 0.05). Conclusion Yangxue Rougan pills can significantly inhibit liver fibrosis in rats by downregulating the expression of TGF-β1 and Smad3 and upregulating the expression of Smad7, and therefore, the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway is one of the mechanisms of action of Yangxue Rougan pills in improving liver fibrosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of different modes of continuous negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on venous ulcer wounds of lower limbs, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, 53 patients with venous ulcer of lower limbs who met the inclusion criteria and hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled study. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into single negative pressure therapy (SNPT) group (19 patients, 11 males and 8 females), cyclic alternating negative pressure therapy (CANPT) group (17 patients, 12 males and 5 females), and routine dressing change (RDC) group (17 patients, 10 males and 7 females), aged (47±11), (49±10), and (47±10) years respectively. After admission, patients in SNPT group were given continuous NPWT with the single negative pressure setting at -13.3 kPa, patients in CANPT group were also given continuous NPWT but with the cyclic alternating negative pressure setting from -16.0 to -10.7 kPa, while patients in RDC group were given dressing change with vaseline gauze soaked with iodophor. The wound healing rate was calculated on treatment day 7 and 14. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO 2) around the wound was detected by TcPO 2 meter before treatment and on treatment day 7 and 14. The wound exudate/drainage fluid was collected on treatment day 1, 4, 7, 10, and 14, with the pH value measured using a pH meter, and the volume of exudate/drainage fluid recorded. Before treatment and on treatment day 7 and 14, venous blood was collected to detect the serum levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Before treatment and on treatment day 7 and 14, wound exudates were collected for bacterial culture, and Visual Analogue Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to evaluate the degree of wound pain and anxiety of patients respectively. The length of hospital stay and the total treatment cost were counted. Analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal Wallis H test, Mann Whitney U test, chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability method test, and Bonferroni correction were used to analyze the data. According to the wound healing rate on treatment day 14, the efficiency of patients were divided into two grades of significant healing with wound healing rate≥70% and non significant healing with wound healing rate<70%. According to the two categories of wound healing rate as dependent variables, the levels of TcPO 2, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β 1, VEGF, bFGF levels and bacterial detection, wound pain and anxiety before treatment, wound exudate/drainage fluid volume and pH value on treatment day 1 were taken as covariates, and binary classification multifactor logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of significant wound healing. Results:(1) On treatment day 7, the wound healing rate of patients in SNPT group was (33±10) %, which was significantly higher than (24±9) % of RDC group ( P<0.05). On treatment day 14, the wound healing rates of patients in SNPT group and CANPT group were (71±15)% and (66±18)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (45±19)% of RDC group ( P<0.01). (2) Compared with those of RDC group, the TcPO 2 value around the wound of patients was significantly increased in SNPT group on treatment day 14 and in CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), the pH value of wound drainage fluid of patients was significantly decreased in SNPT group on treatment day 10 and 14 and in CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.05), the volume of wound drainage fluid of patients was significantly reduced in SNPT group on treatment day 10 and 14 and in CANPT group on treatment day 7, 10, and 14 ( Z=-4.060, -4.954, -2.413, -4.085, -4.756, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α of patients were significantly decreased in SNPT group and CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.01), the serum level of TGF-β 1 of patients was significantly increased in CANPT group on treatment day 14 ( P<0.05), the serum levels of VEGF and bFGF were significantly increased in SNPT group and CANPT group on treatment day 14 ( P<0.01), the bacteria detection proportion of wound exudate, wound pain, and anxiety scores of patients were significantly decreased in SNPT group and CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.01). Compared between the negative pressure therapy two groups, except the wound pain score of patients in CANPT group was significantly lower than that in SNPT group ( P<0.01) on treatment day 7, the other indicators mentioned above were similar. (3) The length of hospital stay of patients in SNPT group was similar to that in CANPT group ( P>0.05), which were significantly shorter than the time in RDC group ( P<0.01). The total treatment cost of patients among the three groups was similar ( F=1.766, P>0.05). (4) Before treatment, the serum levels of TNF-α and bFGF, TcPO 2 around the wound, and the degree of wound pain were risk factors for significant wound healing (odds ratio=1.109, 0.950, 1.140, 2.169, 95% confidence interval=1.012-1.217, 0.912-0.988, 1.008-1.290, 1.288-3.651, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions:Clinical application of continuous NPWT under single negative pressure mode and cyclic alternating negative pressure mode has a positive effect on improving the wound base and healing rate of venous ulcer of lower limbs. But cyclic alternating negative pressure mode is significantly more effective than single negative pressure mode in improving TcPO 2 around the wound, reducing wound pH value, reducing exudate volume and relieving pain. The serum levels of TNF-α and bFGF, TcPO 2 around the wound and the degree of wound pain were the risk factors that affect the wound healing significantly.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxic conditions on expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp),and the relationship between HIF-1α and P-gp.Methods Tumor tissues from 54 cases of patients with colonic neoplasm in Xingtai People's Hospital were selected after operation from June 2013 to June 2015.The expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry,and their correlations to clinical and pathologic features were analysed.The expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor cell lines under normoxia and hypoxia conditions were detected by using cell smear method,and correlation between HIF-1α expression and P-gp expression was analysed.Results Among tumor tissues from 58 cases of patients with colonic neoplasm,the positive rate of HIF-1α expression was 58.62％,and that of P-gp expression was 46.55％.The positive rates of HIF-1α and P-gp expressions of patients on the Dukes stage C+D were significantly higher than those of patients on A+B phase (P＜0.05).Additionally,the positive rates of HIF-1α and P-gp expressions of patients with lymphatic metastasis were significantly higher than those of patients without lymphatic metastasis (P＜0.05).The HIF-1α expression was positively correlated with the P-gp expression (r=0.574,P＜0.01).For the same cell lines,the expression levels of HIF-1α and P-gp under hypoxia condition were significantly higher than those under normoxia condition,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.01).While,under the same oxygen conditions,no statistically significant difference was found in expression levels of HIF-1 and P-gp among different colonic tumor cell lines (P＞0.05).Conclusion Overexpression and coexpression of HIF-1α and P-gp exist in colon cancer.The expression levels of HIF-1α and P-gp in patients with different Dukes stages and patients with or without lymph node metastasis are significantly different,and positive correlation is observed between the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp.Hypoxia condition can induce an increase in expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor cells.
