ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Zishen Tiaogan prescription on the oxidative stress injury in the rat model of diminished ovarian reserve （DOR） and explore the role of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway. MethodsForty-eight female SD rats were randomly assigned into a normal group （n=12） and a modeling group （n=36）. The rats in the modeling group received subcutaneous injection of galactose （350 mg·kg^-1） combined with immobilization stress daily. After 28 days of modeling， 6 rats in the normal group and 6 rats in the modeling group were sacrificed to examine the modeling results. The successfully modeled rats were assigned into model， estradiol valerate （0.09 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （6.39， 12.78， 25.56 g·kg^-1， respectively） Zishen Tiaogan prescription groups. The intervention lasted for 4 weeks with 6 animals per group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the estrous cycle and the pathological changes in the ovarian tissue. The ovarian index was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of sex hormones and oxidative stress-related indexes. Western blot and real-time PCR were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of Nrf2， Keap1 and HO-1 in the ovarian tissue. The positive expression of superoxide dismutase 2 （SOD2） in the ovarian tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed reduced follicles in the ovary， loose arrangement of the follicle granule layer， declined levels of anti-Mullerian hormone （AMH） and estradiol （E₂） in the serum， elevated levels of luteinizing hormone （LH） and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） （P<0.01）， lowered levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， catalase （CAT）， and glutathione （GSH） （P<0.01）， and increased accumulation of malondialdehyde （MDA） （P<0.01）. In addition， the modeling led to up-regulated protein and mRNA levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）， the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， the mRNA expression of Nrf2 was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， the mRNA expression of HO-1 was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， in the ovarian tissue. Compared with model group， the estradiol valerate and low-， medium-， and high-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription groups showed increases in the ovarian index （P<0.01） and serum E₂ and AMH levels （P<0.01）， declined levels of FSH and LH （P<0.01）， increased follicles in the ovary， elevated levels of SOD， CAT， and GSH， and reduced accumulation of MDA （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， these groups showcased down-regulated protein and mRNA levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）， the expression of Nrf2 protein was significantly increased （P<0.01）， the expression level of HO-1 protein was increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and increased positive expression of SOD2 （P<0.01）. ConclusionZishen Tiaogan prescription can regulate the serum levels of hormones， down-regulate the expression of Keap1， up-regulate the expression of Nrf2， HO-1， and SOD2， enhance the antioxidant capacity， and reduce the peroxidation damage in the ovarian tissue to improve the ovarian reserve function in the rat model of DOR. High-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription demonstrated the best effect and the mechanism is associated with the regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of DSA-guided continuous radiofrequency ablation(CRF)and high-voltage,long-duration pulsed radiofrequency(HL-PRF)of ganglia impar in treating perineal pain in patients with rectal cancer.Methods This study is a single-center,randomized,active-controlled,double-blind trial that included 57 rectal cancer patients with perineal pain.At a 1∶1 ratio,the patients were randomly divided into CRF group(n=28)and HL-PRF group(n=29).The primary outcome indicators were the pain numerical rating scale(NRS)scores determined at the preoperative(T0),postoperative 24 h(T1),one week(T2),one month(T3),3 months(T4)and 6 months(T5)time-points.The secondary outcome indicators included the sitting time at T0,T1,T2,T3,T4 and T5 time-points,the 9-item patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9)score,the pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score,the postoperative oral morphine dosage,and the incidence of perineal numbness.Results Compared with the value at T0 time-point,in both groups the NRS score,PHQ-9 score and PSQI score at T1-T5 time-points were significantly decreased,while the sitting time become remarkably increased(all P＜0.05).No statistically significant differences in postoperative oral morphine dosage and incidence of perineal numbness existed between the two groups(both P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in NRS score,PHQ-9 score and PSQI score,sitting time and oral morphine dosage at T1,T2,T3 time-points between CRF group and HL-PRF group(all P＞0.05),while at T4 and T5 time-points the NRS score,PHQ-9 score and PSQI score in HL-PRF group were significantly higher than those in CRF group(all P＜0.05),and the sitting time in HL-PRF group was strikingly lower than that in CRF group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both CRF and HL-PRF of ganglion impar can alleviate perineal pain in patients with advanced rectal cancer and improve the quality of life of patients.CRF is superior to HL-PRF in the long-term efficacy.

Objective To compare the effects of dapagliflozin and sitagliptin combined with metformin on glucose and lipid metabolism and inflammatory reaction in obese type 2 diabetes patients.Methods A total of 120 obese type 2 diabetes patients treated in Danzhou People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2022 were divided into observation group(dapagliflozin+metformin)and control group(sitagliptin+metformin).The indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism and serum inflammatory factors were recorded before and after treatment.The curative effect was compared between the two groups.Results The curative effect of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(96.67%vs.83.33%,P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the indexes of glucose and lipid metabolism or the levels of serum inflammatory factors between the two groups before treatment(all P>0.05).Fasting blood glucose(FBG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2 hPBG),glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were significantly decreased after treatment in both groups,and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)was significantly increased(all P<0.05).The observation group had lower levels of FBG,2 hPBG,HbA1c,TC,TG,LDL-C,IL-6,TNF-α and CRP and higher level of HDL-C than control group after treatment(all P<0.05).Conclusion Both dapagliflozin and sitagliptin combined with metformin are effective for the treatment of obese type 2 diabetes.But the combined use of dapagliflozin and metformin is more effective;it can effectively improve the glucose and lipid metabolism and reduce the level of inflammatory factors,making it worthy of clinical promotion.

AIM: To investigate the regulatory effects of silybin on hepatic lipid metabolism in mice with non -alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) induced by high - fat and high-cholesterol (HFHD) diet. METHODS: Mice were fed a HFHD diet to construct a NASH model, and serum levels of triacylglycerol (TAG), total cholesterol (T-CHO), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured using biochemical kits. H&E staining and oil red O staining were used to detect histopathological changes in the liver. Lipidomics was used to detect the alterations of hepatic lipid metabolism in NASH mice. RESULTS: Silybin significantly inhibited the increase of body weight, liver weight and abdominal fat, decreased serum T-CHO, TAG and LDL-C levels, improved hepatic lipid droplet accumulation and ballooning degeneration, and back-regulated hepatic palmitoleic acid (C16: 1) and polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acids (PUFAs) in NASH mice. CONCLUSION: Silybin possibly reduced hepatic lipid accumulation and lipotoxicity by modulating abnormal hepatic lipid metabolism in mice induced by HFHC diet.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a recessive single gene disease of X chromosome, which is rare clinically and has a very low incidence in newborn boys. This is mainly due to the abnormal pathway in which androgens play a role, resulting in sexual differentiation disorder in patients. A pair of identical twins were admitted to our hospital, and a new pathogenic mutation site of the androgen receptor gene was found, resulting in an androgen insensitivity phenotype.

Objective: To investigate and analyze the influencing factors associated with transition time to achieve full oral feeding for premature infants in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods: A total of 251 NICU hospitalization preterm infants and their mothers meeting the inclusion criteria in Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Care Hospital were collected. Finding the medical records to obtain the basic information of the premature infants and feeding conditions, the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Beck Depression Scale-Ⅱ(BDI- Ⅱ) was used to assess the mothers′ anxiety and depression. Results: The transition time to achieve full oral feeding of NICU preterm infants was (5.31±2.93) days. Greater gestational age (β=-0.484, P<0.01), time of breast milk feeding through mouth (β=0.042, P=0.003) had a positive effect on the transition time to achieve full oral feeding. Congenital heart disease (β=0.587, P=0.050), maternal anxiety (β=0.206, P<0.01), depression (β=0.727, P<0.01) and interaction between maternal anxiety and depression (β=0.014, P<0.01) were risk factors of longer time to achieving full oral feeding. The multiple linear regression accounting for a total of 58.2% of all the variation. Conclusions Oral feeding progression in premature infants was influenced by many factors. Gestational age can be the indicators of implementing oral feeding. It is beneficial to initiate oral feeding and feed with breast milk early. If the infants have heart diseases, oral feeding progression would be retardant. Maternal anxiety and depression may prolong the transition time to achieve full oral feeding. Control the factors which affect oral feeding progression, pay attention on mothers′ emotion and formulate appropriate feeding intervention for premature infants to promote full oral feeding are of great importance.

Objective:To explore the effect of the teaching reform of "Community Nursing" in our school in different grades of nursing undergraduates.Methods:A total 174 nursing students in Grade 2009, 2010 and 2013, from School of Nursing at Shanghai Jiao Tong University were selected. Various teaching methods were carried out, including continuously carding teaching content, gradually adopting a community assessment approach, participating in community health education, and developing family health education plans and student-centered teaching methods. At the end of the course, all students completed the self-design curriculum evaluation questionnaires. By comparing the evaluation of teaching reform in different grades, the effect of the teaching reform scheme was analyzed. One-way analysis of variance and student Newman Keuls method were performed to compare the differences among different grades with SPSS 19.0 software.Results:The scores of the five dimensions of "curriculum organization", "teaching content", "teaching form", "teaching evaluation" and "teaching arrangement" were much higher in Grade 2013 and 2010 than in Grade 2009 ( P<0.05). After the teaching reform, students' satisfaction with the curriculum organization was improved; simplifying the teaching content reduced the repetition between courses; implementing the diversified teaching form enhanced students' participation; adopting a diversified teaching evaluation system expanded students' understanding of learning content; integrating different teaching locations and equipment brought real service experience to students. Conclusion:The series of teaching reforms of "Community Nursing" have achieved positive results in adjusting the curriculum framework, focusing on community nursing, improving students' participation, combining varied assessment methods and developing multiple teaching points and have been recognized by the students, so that the results may provide a reference for the next teaching rounds of "Community Nursing" with the fourth edition.
