BACKGROUND:The repair process of skin trauma is complex and susceptible to infection,easy to lead to poor healing,is the current difficulty and hot spot in wound repair research,and has received extensive attention in the fields of traditional Chinese medicine and tissue engineering. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of moxibustion and reduced graphene oxide/cerium oxide nanocomposite on promoting the healing of infectious wounds. METHODS:(1)Reduced graphene oxide/cerium dioxide nanocomposites with mass ratios of 2:1,1:1 and 1:2 were synthesized by hydrothermal method.The resulting composites were recorded as G2C1,G1C1 and G1C2,respectively.The photothermal properties,cytotoxicity and antibacterial properties of the three kinds of materials were tested.After taking moxa sticks,three kinds of moxibustion distances were set(3.0-3.5 cm,recorded as moxibustion 1;2.5-3.0 cm,recorded as moxibustion 2;2.0-2.5 cm,recorded as moxibustion 3).Moxibustion was applied to the surface of human skin for 10 minutes to detect the photothermal properties.The antibacterial properties of moxibustion were tested at three different distance intervals.Simultaneously,the back body surface infrared imaging of rats with different mass concentrations of G1C1 material,moxibustion(three kinds of moxibustion distances)and moxibustion 2+G1C1 material was detected.(2)Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected to model the wound of Staphylococcus aureus infection.48 hours later,they were randomly divided into 10 groups with 6 rats in each group:control group(did not receive any treatment),mupirocin group,moxibustion 2+G1C1 group,moxibustion 1 group,moxibustion 2 group,moxibustion 3 group and 60,80,100,and 120 μg/mL G1C1 groups(The G1C1 group was given 808 nm near-infrared laser irradiation for 10 min/time,and the G1C1 suspension was loaded on the wound surface before each treatment.Each group of moxibustion underwent in-situ suspension moxibustion,and the intervention time was 10 min/time.Moxibustion 2+G1C1 group was loaded with G1C1 suspension on the wound surface before each treatment,and moxibustion was suspended in situ with moxa strips,and the intervention time was 10 min/time).The frequency of treatment was 2 days once.Wound healing,wound colony count and repair were detected after 7 days of intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The three kinds of reduced graphene oxide/cerium dioxide nanocomposites had good photothermal properties,and the higher the mass concentration of the composites,the better the photothermal properties.The temperature of the moxibustion 2 group reached 47.6 ℃for 10 minutes without causing thermal damage,which was more suitable for animal experiments.The results of co-culture with NIH-3T3 cells exhibited that 60,80,and 100 μg/mL G1C1 had good biocompatibility.The results of a co-culture experiment with Staphylococcus aureus suspension displayed that G2C1,G1C1 and G1C2 had good antibacterial activity,among which G1C1 group demonstrated excellent antibacterial performance,and the antibacterial rate reached 100%when its mass concentration was 80 μg/mL.60-120 μg/mL G1C1 could effectively remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilm,and the higher the material mass concentration,the better the removal effect.Moxibustion could also effectively remove Staphylococcus aureus biofilm,and the closer the moxibustion was,the better the removal effect.(2)Compared with the control group,the wound area of the mupirocin group,moxibustion 2 group,moxibustion 2+G1C1 group and 80,100 μg/mL G1C1 groups was significantly reduced on day 7 of treatment,and the quality of wound repair was better.Mupirocin,G1C1,moxibustion and moxibustion 2+G1C1 could effectively remove the residual bacteria on the wound surface,and the higher the mass concentration of G1C1,the lower the residual bacteria.Among them,the wound repair efficiency and bacterial residue of 80 μg/mL G1C1 group and moxibustion 2 group were very similar,and the wound repair efficiency of both was better than that of mupirocin group.In addition,it was also observed that the combination of materials and moxibustion had a better ability to clear wound bacteria than that used alone.(3)The results confirm that moxibustion,reduced graphene oxide/cerium dioxide nanocomposites and their combination have good anti-infection and wound healing effects.

Objective:To analyze the evaluation of the application effect and deficiency of nurses acting as standardized parents in the graduation examination of standardized residency training of pediatrics and further improve and promote the level of standardized parents.Methods:A questionnaire survey was used to collect the scores of nurse standardized parents by students and examiners who took part in the graduation examination of standardized residency training of pediatrics in 2021. And the self-evaluation scores of standardized parents were collected. Counting data were represented by the number of cases and composition ratio. A Chi-square test was used to compare the rates.Results:A total of 125 questionnaires from students and 37 questionnaires from nurse standardized parents were collected, and the overall satisfaction (very satisfied + satisfied) of standardized parents reached 121 (96.80%). In the three dimensions of simulation ability, compliance with question-and-answer rules, and simulated attitude, students believed that the consistency between standardized parents and actual parents in simulated altitude was lower than that in the simulation ability and compliance with question-and-answer rules ( P=0.007, P=0.001). The overall satisfaction of standardized parents (very satisfied + satisfied) reached 87.38% (388/444). There were 26 (70.27%) nurse standardized parents who had the lowest satisfaction with their own performance ability, followed by 28 (75.68%) cases of imitation ability and 30 (81.08%) cases of adaptability. Conclusions:It is feasible to adopt nurse standardized parents in the assessment of standardized residency training of pediatrics, and both students and examiners have higher satisfaction. The next step is to improve the training of nurses standardized parents in the attitude of simulation and, at the same time, enhance the training of imitation ability and adaptability, so as to further expand the construction of standardized parents.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of opioid-sparing analgesia on the incidence of sepsis in severely burned patients in the retrospective cohort study.Methods:The clinical data from patients with severe burns admitted to three teaching hospitals in Guangdong from 2011 to 2020 were retrospectively extracted and analyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on the analgesic regimen within 30 days after injury: continuous opioids analgesia group (continuous opioid infusion at a relative constant rate for more than 72 h) and opioid-sparing analgesia group (patient-controlled intravenous analgesia/intermittent administration/opioid-free analgesia). Patient′s age, severity of burn, inhalation injury and basal pain score at rest were matched by the propensity score at a 1∶1 ratio. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of sepsis within 90 days of admission. Secondary outcome measures included 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality, clinical diagnosis of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and prevalence of burn wound infection. The amount of opioid used was also recorded.Results:A total of 328 severely burned patients were finally enrolled, with 145 patients in continuous opioid analgesia group and 183 patients in opioid-sparing analgesia group, and 110 pairs of patients (220 cases) were finally matched by the propensity score.Compared with continuous opioid analgesia group, the total consumption of opioid, daily consumption per analgesia, and consumption per burn area were significantly decreased, and the incidence of sepsis and wound infection was decreased( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, 30-day and 90-day all-cause mortality in opioid-sparing analgesia group( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the continuous opioid analgesia regimen, opioid-sparing analgesia can reduce the risk of sepsis in severely burned patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Hedysarum polysaccharides (HPS) on the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway in db/db mice with diabetic nephropathy. MethodFifty db/db mice were randomly divided into model group, irbesartan group, and high, middle, and low-dose HPS experimental groups according to their body mass, with 10 mice in each group, and another 10 C57BL/6 mice were selected as a normal group. The normal group and the model group were given 5 mL·kg-1·d-1 distilled water, the irbesartan group was given 22.75 mg·kg-1·d-1 irbesartan suspension, and the high, middle, and low-dose HPS experimental groups were given 200, 100, and 50 mg·kg-1·d-1 HPS suspensions, respectively. The mice in the 6 groups were given intragastric administration once a day for 12 weeks. The general state, blood glucose (GLU), 24 h urine protein (UTP), blood creatinine (SCr), and urea nitrogen (BUN) of mice in each group were determined. The pathological changes in the kidney tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE). The protein and mRNA expression levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, glycogen synthesis kinase-3β (GSK-3β), and phosphorylated GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β) in the kidney were detected by Western blot and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultAfter treatment for 12 weeks, as compared with the normal group, the general state of mice in the model group was worse and the pathological ultrastructural lesions of kidney tissues were obvious. The levels of GLU, 24 h UTP, SCr, and BUN in the model group increased (P<0.01). As compared with the model group, the general state and renal pathological ultrastructure of mice in the high and middle-dose HPS groups were improved to some extent, and the levels of SCr, BUN, and 24 h UTP in the high and middle-dose HPS groups decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01). As compared with the normal group, the expression levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, GSK-3β, and p-GSK-3β protein and mRNA in the model group were higher (P<0.01), while the expression levels of Wnt1, β-catenin, GSK-3β, and p-GSK-3β protein and mRNA in the high and middle-dose HPS groups were lower than those in the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionHPS can alleviate the renal injury of diabetic nephropathy to some extent, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway.

The local microenvironment is essential to stem cell-based therapy for ischemic stroke, and spatiotemporal changes of the microenvironment in the pathological process provide vital clues for understanding the therapeutic mechanisms. However, relevant studies on microenvironmental changes were mainly confined in the acute phase of stroke, and long-term changes remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the microenvironmental changes in the subacute and chronic phases of ischemic stroke after stem cell transplantation. Herein, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and neural stem cells (NSCs) were transplanted into the ischemic brain established by middle cerebral artery occlusion surgery. Positron emission tomography imaging and neurological tests were applied to evaluate the metabolic and neurofunctional alterations of rats transplanted with stem cells. Quantitative proteomics was employed to investigate the protein expression profiles in iPSCs-transplanted brain in the subacute and chronic phases of stroke. Compared with NSCs-transplanted rats, significantly increased glucose metabolism and neurofunctional scores were observed in iPSCs-transplanted rats. Subsequent proteomic data of iPSCs-transplanted rats identified a total of 39 differentially expressed proteins in the subacute and chronic phases, which are involved in various ischemic stroke-related biological processes, including neuronal survival, axonal remodeling, antioxidative stress, and mitochondrial function restoration. Taken together, our study indicated that iPSCs have a positive therapeutic effect in ischemic stroke and emphasized the wide-ranging microenvironmental changes in the subacute and chronic phases.

Objective:To analyze the gene mutation types and haematological characteristics of αβ compound thalassemia, non-delectable α-thalassemia and Hemoglobin H Disease (HbH disease) in Foshan.Methods:Using the method of retrospective analysis, we selected the population who had been tested for thalassemia gene in Foshan Second People's Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from January 2011 to November 2019. Sysmex XT-5000 automatic hematology analyzer was used for routine blood analysis. α-, β- thalassemia genes were detected by PCR + diversion hybridization method.Results:A total of 4 563 people were tested, of which 1 829 were diagnosed as thalassaemia through genetic diagnosis. αβ compound thalassaemia was detected in 81 cases with a positive rate of 1.8%; non-delectable α-thalassemia was detected in 18 cases with a positive rate of 0.4%; HbH disease was detected in 23 cases with a positive rate of 0.5%. The most common genotypes of αβ compound thalassemia were -- SEA/αα\β41-42/βN (17.3%, 14/81), -α 3.7/αα\β41-42/βN (14.8%, 12/81), -- SEA/αα\β654/βN (11.1%, 9/81). The main manifestations of hematology were normal to mild anemia (93.8%, 76/81). Only β-thalassemia with double heterozygotes and α-thalassemia showed severe anemia. αα CS/αα\βN/βN genotypes were common in the local non delectable α-thalassemia (50.0%, 9/18), and the non delectable α-thalassemia was characterized by non-positive phenotype or typical small-cell hypochromatosis in hematology. The genotypes of local HbH patients were -α 3.7/-- SEA\βN/βN (65.2%, 15/23), and simple HbH manifested as moderate anemia (87.0%, 20/23). Patients with HbH disease and β-thalassemia had normal or mild anemia (13.0%, 3/23). Conclusions:The genotypes of αβ compound thalassemia in Foshan area are diverse and complex, and hematology mainly manifests as mild anemia or normal. Non-delectable α-thalassaemia is common in the genotype of αα CS/αα\βN/βN, and clinical manifestations are asymptomatic gene carriers. The genotype of local HbH patients is mainly -α 3.7/-- SEA\βN/βN, and the hematology mainly shows moderate anemia.

Objective? To explore the effects of fast track surgery (FTS) nursing on fatigue and quality of life among hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Methods? From June 2017 to June 2018, we selected 80 primary hepatic carcinoma patients with hepatocellular carcinoma resection of hepatobiliary surgery at Peking Union Medical College Cancer Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into control group and observation group with the method of random number table, 40 cases in each group. Observation group carried out FTS, while control group adopted routine nursing. The intervention effects were compared with the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and the Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-C30). Results? Before intervention, there was no statistical difference in the score of CFS between two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the total score and dimension scores of CRF of observation group were lower than those of control group with statistical differences (P< 0.01). Before intervention, there was no statistical difference in the score of QLQ-C30 between two groups (P> 0.05). After intervention, the total score of QLQ-C30 of observation group was higher than that of control group with a statistical difference (P< 0.01). Conclusions? FTS can effectively improve the postoperative fatigue of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and quality of life of patients which is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
