OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effects and mechanism of Sanwei ganlu on hepatic fibrosis in rats. METHODS The rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， silibinin group （positive control， 50 mg/kg）， and Sanwei ganlu low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups （80， 250， 800 mg/kg）. Except for normal group， hepatic fibrosis rat models were established by intraperitoneal injection of CCl4 in the other groups of rats. Starting from the 6th week of modeling administration， they were given normal saline or corresponding drugs intragastrically at the same time. At the end of the ninth-week experiment， liver and spleen indexes of rats were calculated； the pathological structure and fibrosis changes of liver tissue were observed by HE， Masson and Sirus Red staining. The contents of alanine transaminase （ALT）， aspartate transaminase （AST）， procollagen type Ⅲ （PC Ⅲ）， collagen type Ⅳ （COL-Ⅳ）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and IL-1β in serum， and hyaluronic acid （HA） and laminin （LN） in liver tissue were all detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the liver injury and collagen fiber deposition of rats were improved to different extents in Sanwei ganlu groups and silibinin group； the contents of ALT， AST， PC Ⅲ， COL-Ⅳ， IL-6， TNF-α and IL-1β in serum as well as the contents of HA and LN in liver tissue significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Sanwei ganlu can alleviate the progression of hepatic fibrosis in rats， possibly by inhibiting the synthesis of collagen fiber， reducing transaminase content， down-regulating the levels of HA， LN， PC Ⅲ and COL-Ⅳ， and reducing the inflammatory response.

Objective:To understand the potential categories of self-efficacy in stress injury management of nurses in operating room and analyze the characteristics of different categories of nurses.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted from June to August 2022. A total of 469 operating room nurses from 12 Grade A hospitals in Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shanxi, Xinjiang and Chongqing were selected by convenient sampling method as subjects. General data questionnaire, proactive personality Inventory, Caring behavior Inventory, transformational leadership inventory, nursing clinical Decision scale and nurses stress injury management self-efficacy scale were used to investigate. Potential profile was used to analyze nurses' self-efficacy in stress injury management, and multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze different potential factors.Results:The self-efficacy of nurses in the management of stress injury in operating room could be divided into three potential profiles: poor self-efficacy group (23.9%, 112/469), medium self-efficacy group (33.0%, 155/469) and good self-efficacy group (43.1%, 202/469). Proactive personality, caring behavior, transformational leadership, nursing clinical decision-making and educational background were the factors influencing self-efficacy of operating room nurses in stress injury management (all P<0.05). Conclusions:There are three potential profiles of self-efficacy in the management of stress injury in operating room nurses. Nursing managers can give targeted intervention strategies according to different characteristics of nurses to improve their self-efficacy.

Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) is an early pathogenic colonizer in periodontitis, but the host response to infection with this pathogen remains unclear. In this study, we built an F. nucleatum infectious model with human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and showed that F. nucleatum could inhibit proliferation, and facilitate apoptosis, ferroptosis, and inflammatory cytokine production in a dose-dependent manner. The F. nucleatum adhesin FadA acted as a proinflammatory virulence factor and increased the expression of interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-8. Further study showed that FadA could bind with PEBP1 to activate the Raf1-MAPK and IKK-NF-κB signaling pathways. Time-course RNA-sequencing analyses showed the cascade of gene activation process in PDLSCs with increasing durations of F. nucleatum infection. NFκB1 and NFκB2 upregulated after 3 h of F. nucleatum-infection, and the inflammatory-related genes in the NF-κB signaling pathway were serially elevated with time. Using computational drug repositioning analysis, we predicted and validated that two potential drugs (piperlongumine and fisetin) could attenuate the negative effects of F. nucleatum-infection. Collectively, this study unveils the potential pathogenic mechanisms of F. nucleatum and the host inflammatory response at the early stage of F. nucleatum infection.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition in hospitalized lung cancer patients in a tertiary A hospital in Chongqing.Methods From December 2013 to July 2017,2 735 consecutive lung cancer patients were admitted to the Department of Pneumology at Daping Hospital for planned anti-cancer treatment.Patients who did not complete a nutritional status assessment and who had repeated admission wcrc excluded from the study.The demographic and tumor characteristics were investigated in the 548 lung cancer inpatients who completed the study.The nutritional risk screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was used to evaluate the nutritional risk.The individual nutritional status was also evaluated using the patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA) questionnaire,anthropometry measurements and hematological measurements.The physical status was assessed by the Karnofsky performance status (KPS).Results According to the NRS 2002 score,29.56％ (162/548) of the cancer patients had nutritional risk (score ≥3).The prevalence of nutritional risk was 17.39％,15.00％,22.00％ and 36.86％,respectively,for patients with stage Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ lung cancer.Forty-four patients (9.67％) had a body mass index＜ 18.5 kg/m2 and poor general condition,and the prevalence was 6.52％,5.00％,8.67％ and 11.22％,respectively,for stages I,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ.A total of 107 cases (19.53％) had impaired nutritional status (indicated by a severity score of 3 in the NRS 2002).The prevalence by different stages was 10.87％ (stage Ⅰ),5.00％ (stage Ⅱ),14.67％ (stage Ⅲ) and 25.00％ (stage Ⅳ).One hundred and twenty-five patients (22.81％) had PG-SGA scores ≥ 9,with 2.19％,2.50％,12.67％,and 33.33％ of patients in stages Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ having these high scores.The KPS scores were lower in the patients with nutritional risk and malnutrition than in the patients with a normal nutritional status.Conclusions The prevalence of nutritional risk and malnutrition in patients with lung cancer were mediom.Nutritional risk screening and nutritional status assessment should be considered at the time of admission for lung cancer patients in order to ensure better outcomes of treatment.

Objective: To verify the safety and efficacy of IONTRIS particle therapy system (IONTRIS) in clinical implementation. Methods: Between 6.2014 and 8.2014, a total of 35 patients were enrolled into this trial: 31 males and 4 females with a median age of 69 yrs (range 39-80). Ten patients had locally recurrent head and neck tumors after surgery, 4 cases with thoracic malignancies, 1 case with hepatocellular carcinoma, 1 case with retroperitoneal sarcoma, and 19 cases with non-metastatic prostate carcinomas. Phantom dose verification was mandatory for each field before the start of radiation. Results: Twenty-two patients received carbon ion and 13 had proton irradiation. With a median follow-up time of 1 year, all patients were alive. Among the 16 patients with head and neck, thoracic, and abdominal/pelvic tumors, 2, 1, 12, and 1 cases developed complete response, partial response, stable disease, or disease progression, respectively. Progression-free survival rate was 93.8% (15/16). Among the 19 patients with prostate cancer, biological-recurrence free survival was 100%. Particle therapy was well tolerated in all 35 patients. Twenty-five patients (71.4%) experienced 33 grade 1 acute adverse effects, which subsided at 1 year follow-up. Six (17.1%) patients developed grade 1 late adverse effects. No significant change in ECOG or body weight was observed. Conclusions IONTRIS is safe and effective for clinical use. However, long term follow-up is needed to observe the late toxicity and long term result.

Objective To analyze the early risk factors of overweight and obesity in preschool children.Methods Using stratified cluster sampling,the data of 1 335 preschool children's physical examination in High-tech Zone,Urumqi,Xinjiang were collected,and the case group had 153 overweight and obese children,the control group had 1 182 non-overweight and obese children;a case-control study was conducted.The basic data of mothers and the basic data of neonatal birth were analyzed retrospectively.The univariate and unconditional multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed.Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children in High-tech Zone in Urumqi was 11.5％.Non-conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that children's age (OR=1.31,95％ CI:1.07-1.61),mother's pre-pregnancy BMI (OR=1.11 95 ％,CI:1.06-1.17) and whether mothers had gestational hypertension (OR=1.99 95％,CI:1.03-3.85) were the risk factors for overweight and obesity in preschool children (P＜0.05).Conclusion In Urumqi high school district preschool children's overweight and obesity rate was high;mothers with high BMI before pregnancy,and those with high blood pressure during pregnancy can increase the risk of overweight and obesity in children,preschool children's increased age may increase the risk of overweight and obesity in children.

BACKGROUND:Failure rate is higher in patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head than in osteoarthritis patients after primary total hip arthroplasty, especial y acetabular prosthesis. Bone mineral density around the prosthesis is a key factor for quality of life of the prosthesis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the difference in periprosthetic bone mineral density between patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head and osteoarthritis patients and the exact location of differences after primary total hip arthroplasty. METHODS:Fifty patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head and fifty osteoarthritis patients were enrol ed in this study. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry examination was used to compare bone mineral density 5 years after total hip arthroplasty. In accordance with De Lee’s and Charnley’s methods, images of acetabulum were divided. The bone mineral density of different areas of the acetabulum was compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Periprosthetic bone mineral density:Bone mineral density in the lower part and upper part of the acetabulum was significantly lower in the osteonecrosis group than in the osteoarthritis group (P<0.05). No significant difference in bone mineral density in the middle of the acetabulum was detected between the two groups. (2) Results confirmed that the bone mineral density in the lower and the upper parts of the acetabular component was significantly lower in patients with osteonecrosis of femoral head than in patients with osteoarthritis.
