ObjectiveTo explore the anti-eczema efficacy and mechanism of Mongolian medicine Cymbaria dahurica n-butanol extract. MethodsThe compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Exactive MS) analysis and literature mining. GEO chip analysis and network pharmacology were employed to predict potential targets and pathways for the anti-eczema effect. Seventy-five mice were randomized into a normal group (10 mice) and a modeling group (65 mice). The model was induced by 1% dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) for 3 days. The modeled mice were grouped as follows: Positive drug (hydrocortisone butyrate cream, 250 mg·kg-1·d-1) and low-, medium-, and high-dose (95.94, 191.88, and 383.76 mg·kg-1·d-1, respectively) C. dahurica n-butanol extract, with 13 mice in each group. From day 5 of the experiment, 0.5% DNCB was applied, once every other day, until day 22. At the same time, drugs were applied daily from day 5. The appearance damage of back skin of mice in each group was analyzed. The pathological changes of the back skin of mice in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and toluidine blue (TB) staining. The levels of inflammatory factors [histamine (HIS), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TFN-α)], thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Metabolomics analysis was performed for the mouse skin. The HaCaT cell model of eczema was induced with TNF-α/interferon-γ (IFN-γ). The secretion levels of IL-6, IL-8, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), and TSLP in the cell supernatant from each group were measured by ELISA, while the protein levels of phosphorylated (p)-Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), JAK2, p-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and STAT3 were assessed by Western blot. ResultsThrough UPLC-Q-Exactive MS and literature review, a total of 125 compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that the anti-eczema mechanism of C. dahurica n-butanol extract may be related to the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group, the modeling group exhibited redness, swelling, exudation, erosion, and scab formation on the back skin surface, and thickened dermis and epidermis with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the modeling group, the positive drug and C. dahurica n-butanol alleviated the skin lesions (including redness, swelling, exudation, roughness, and keratosis and scab formation on the back), reduced the thickness of dermis and epidermis, mitigated inflammatory cell infiltration, and restored the skin tissue structure. Compared with the normal group, the modeling group showed elevated levels of HIS, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, TSLP, and IgE (P<0.05, P<0.01), which were reversed in the positive drug group and C. dahurica n-butanol extract groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The results of metabolomics analysis showed that 12 differential metabolites might be the key substances for mitigating metabolic disorders of the skin and were closely related to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The cell experiement showed that compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited upregulated expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, MDC, TARC, TSLP, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-JAK2/JAK2, and p-STAT3/STAT3 in HaCaT cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, C. dahurica n-butanol extract and dexamethasone downregulated the expression levles of these molecules (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionC. dahurica n-butanol extract may play an anti-eczema role by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, reducing the inflammatory response, and correcting the metabolic disorder.

With the construction and development of head and neck tumor, diagnosis and treatment technology and survival rate of patients have been improved in different degrees. Nurses play an important role as managers and practitioners in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with head and neck tumors, and it is very important to evaluate and manage the treatment and prognosis of head and neck tumor patients scientifically. In this context, the American Cancer Society launched the Head and Neck Cancer Survivorship Care Guideline in 2017 and was endorsed by the American Society for Clinical Oncology. This paper mainly discusses the forming process of the guidelines, the main points of the consensus of experts, the guiding role of the guidelines in clinical work and the obstacles and limitations of the guidelines.

Chinese Journal of Modern Nursing 2017;23(14):1848-1851
Objective To investigate the status quo of the core competency and organizational commitment of specialized nurses in Jilin province as well as their correlation.Methods Totally 189 specialized nurses in Jilin province were investigated with Competency Inventory for Registered Nurse (CIRN) and Employees' Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (EOCQ).Results The specialized nurses' average score for core competency was (2.98±0.51) in which the leadership score (3.11±0.60), was the highest, while the critical research ability score (2.71±0.61), was the lowest. The EOCQ score was (66.78±8.89) in which the normative commitment score (15.23±2.79), was the highest, while the emotional commitment score (10.54±3.62), was the lowest. Their organizational commitment was positively correlated to core competency (r=0.412,P<0.01). Conclusions The core competency of specialized in Jilin province are relatively high, and stronger core competency helps to improve their organizational commitment.

[Objective]To explore the clinical character and the treatment method of wedge-shaped vertebral osteotomy,expanding bone graft and spanning segment pedicle screw-rod system fixation from posterior approach to the thoracolumbar kyphosis caused by old fracture.[Method]From June 2003 to May 2008,26 cases of kyphosis deformity at thoracolumbar segment were treated with wedge-shaped vertebral osteoctomy and long segment pedicle screw-rod internal fixation,including 19 males and 7 females and aging 16-45 years(average age:24.2 years).All kyphosis deformity were caused by old thoracolumbar fracture and patients suffered from back pain.The average disease history were 12.6 years.All the sigittal kyphosis Cobb's angles were more than 40 degree cases.Sixteen patients complicated with nervous symptom.Among them 18 cases were given wedge-shaped vertebral osteoctomy and long segment pedicle screw internal fixation,8 cases were given expanding bone graft in anterior of vertebra after osteotomy.The kyphosis angles from radiographs were given compared between pre-and postoperatively,and complications were given analysis too.[Result]Twenty-two patients had been followed up for 12-48 months(average time:34.6 months),all patients' kyphosis angles were corrected satisfactory,the extend of right angle were 86.45%?4.56%.Besides mesenteric artery compressed syndrome happened in 1 patient,other complication was rare.[Conclusion]This method can correct the kyphosis deformity immediately in operation,its correct extent is large,expanding bone graft in anterior of vertebra after osteotomy can reduce the spine shorten and spinal cord injury rate.
