TCM for the improvement of nasal mucosa remodeling after chronic sinusitis endoscopy is the key to the effective prevention of new lesions and recurrence in the surgical cavity mucosa.This article reviewed the mechanism of the nasal mucosa remodeling phenomenon after chronic sinusitis endoscopy and the unique advantages of TCM treatment.Deficiency,phlegm and blood stasis leading to"lung loss"is the perennial root of nasal mucosa remodeling.The treatment is"tonifying deficiency and removing phlegm,invigorating qi and promoting blood circulation",using acupuncture and medicine,and both internal and external treatment to regulate Th17/Treg balance and reduce the inflammatory infiltration;blocking the phosphorylation of MAPK and NF-κB pathway to inhibit TGF-β1-induced myofibroblasts,reduce collagen deposition and inhibit their remodeling,and promote the process of mucosal epithelialization,which can provide ideas for the theoretical and clinical treatment of TCM prevention and treatment of nasal mucosa remodeling.

Objective To explore the risk factors of chemotherapy-induced adverse reactions(CIAEs)caused by capecitabine in colorectal cancer(CRC)patients and to construct a risk prediction model for CIAEs.Methods We retrospectively collected data from postoperative CRC patients treated with capecitabine tablets at our hospital between January 2021 and December 2023.Patients were divided into CIAEs and NCIAEs groups based on the presence or absence of CIAEs.Variable differences were screened using t-tests and chi-square tests.Stepwise multivariate logistic regression was employed to identify independent factors influencing CIAEs in CRC patients.Based on these independent risk factors,a risk prediction model for CIAEs in CRC patients was constructed using R software.The model's predictive ability,calibration,and clinical net benefits were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis,calibration curves,and decision curves.Results A total of 253 postoperative CRC patients treated with capecitabine were included in this study.Among them,201 patients developed CIAEs,with nausea and vomiting being the most common(69.96％).Multiple logistic regression results indicated that age[OR=3.018,95％CI(1.404,6.487),P=0.005],prognosis nutrition index[OR=0.129,95％CI(0.06,0.278),P＜0.001],and systematic inflammation index[OR=4.074,95％CI(1.316,12.615),P=0.015]were independent risk factors for CIAEs in CRC patients.The constructed risk prediction model demonstrated good predictive ability,calibration,and clinical net benefit.Conclusion The risk prediction model for CIAEs can be used for individualized prediction of CIAEs in CRC patients and serves as a simple and practical tool for CIAE prevention and nursing management.

Objective:To explore the effect of personalized nutritional support based on nutritional risk screening on nutritional status and prognosis of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.Methods:A total of 100 patients with inflammatory bowel disease admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2021 to September 2022 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into control group and observation group according to the random number method. NRS 2002 nutritional risk screening was performed on all patients. The control group was given routine nursing and nutritional support. On this basis, the observation group received patient-centered personalized nutrition support program shared by doctors and patients. The nutritional status, inflammatory indicators and prognosis of the two groups were compared and observed at admission, discharge, 1 month after discharge, and 3 months after discharge.Results:From admission to 3 months after discharge, albumin, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, triceps skinfold thickness in the two groups were significantly increased ( F = 8.43, 14.32, 10.27, 23.41, 7.66, 8.91, 6.84, 8.90, P < 0.05), while the malnutrition inflammation score was significantly decreased ( F = 4.84, 7.42, P < 0.05). Albumin, prealbumin, nitrogen balance, triceps skinfold thickness in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 months after discharge ( t = 7.95, 17.43, 6.55, 6.72, P < 0.001), and the malnutrition inflammation score was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t = 6.95, P < 0.001). As treatment progressed, the levels of C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin gradually decreased and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate slowed down in both groups compared with the admission, with statistical significance ( F = 9.03, 11.28, 18.37, 19.20, 32.42, 28.88, P < 0.001). The levels of C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin and erythrocyte sedimentation rate in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group 3 months after discharge ( t = 8.29, 7.99, 10.34, P < 0.001). Patients in the observation group had good compliance with the formulated diet plan, and no related rejection events occurred. The readmission rate of patients in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( χ2 = 10.18, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Individualized nutrition support programs based on nutritional risk screening can help improve the nutritional status and disease status of patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of five-element music on the social behavior of the children of mothers with fear stress during pregnancy and provide a basis for the early prevention and treatment of clinical fetogenic affective disorders.Methods Forty-five pregnant mice were randomly divided into three groups:a control group,model group,and five-element music group.The model and five-element music group models were established using the bystander electric shock method.Additionally,the five-element music group was exposed to Palace Tune five-element music daily from 17:00 to 19:00 during pregnancy.On the 19th day of pregnancy,ELISA was employed to assess the levels of adrenocorticotropin(ACTH)and cortisol(CORT)in the serum of pregnant mice in each group for modeling evaluation.The offspring were subsequently grouped with their mother and underwent an 8-week-old three-box social experiment to observe their social behavior.We used the immunofluorescence double-labeling method to detect glutamatergic neuron activity in the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC)of the offspring.High-performance liquid chromatography was employed to measure the total glutamate(Glu)content in the mPFC,while Gorky staining was used to observe changes in the dendritic spines of mPFC neurons in the offspring.Results Compared to those in the blank group,pregnant mice in the model group exhibited a significant increase in the levels of ACTH and CORT in their serum,and there was a significant decrease in the social interaction time and social novelty preference index of their offspring.There was also a significant decrease in glutamate neuron activity,glutamate content,and neuronal dendritic spine density.In contrast,compared with those in the model group,pregnant mice in the five-element music group demonstrated a reduction in the levels of ACTH and CORT in the serum,and there were improvements in the social behavior,glutamate neuron activity,glutamate content,and condition of neuronal dendritic spines in the offspring.Conclusions Intervention with five-element music effectively ameliorated the offspring's social behavior disorder result ing from prenatal fear stress;the mechanism was potentially linked to enhanced glutamate neuron activity in the mPFC region.

Objective To explore the promoting effect of egg yolk oil combined with heat-clearing and detoxi-fying traditional Chinese medicine external washing on postoperative wound healing in patients with perianal abscesses based on growth factors in the wound granu-lation tissue.Methods Eighty patients with perianal abscesses admitted to our hospital from January 2023 to May 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.Three days after surgery,the control group received routine treatment,such as external washing with heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese herbal medicine and dressing changes with vase-line gauze.The observation group received additional treatment with egg yolk oil,and both groups were treated continuously for 7 days.The clinical efficacy,improvement in clinical symptoms,and wound recovery at different time points;serum inflammatory cytokines;and expression levels of wound granulation tissue-related factors were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate was higher in the observation group than the control group(95%vs.75%,P<0.05).The time of pruritus disappearance,decaying flesh,emer-gence of new epithelium,and healing were shorter in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).The pain degree,wound secretion,granulation morphology and surrounding tissue edema score of the observation group were significantly decreased at 7 and 10 days after surgery compared with the control group(P<0.05).Serum levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-8,and tumor necrosis factor-α were lower in the observation group than the control group at 7 and 10 days after surgery(P<0.05).The levels of basic fibroblast growth factor,vascular endothelial cell growth factor,and transforming growth factor-βin wound granulation tissue were higher in the observation group than the control group at 7 and 10 days after surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion The external application of egg yolk oil combined with heat-clearing and detoxifying Chinese herbs can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with perianal abscesses and promote wound healing,with significant therapeutic effects.This may be related to the inhibition of inflammatory cytokine expression and the promotion of wound granulation tissue growth factor expression.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a growing global health concern, and its early pathogenesis includes steatosis and steatohepatitis. Inhibiting lipid accumulation and inflammation is a crucial step in relieving ALD. Evidence shows that puerarin (Pue), an isoflavone isolated from Pueraria lobata, exerts cardio-protective, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activities. However, the therapeutic potential of Pue on ALD remains unknown. In the study, both the NIAAA model and ethanol (EtOH)-induced AML-12 cell were used to explore the protective effect of Pue on alcoholic liver injury in vivo and in vitro and related mechanism. The results showed that Pue (100 mg·kg^-1) attenuated EtOH-induced liver injury and inhibited the levels of SREBP-1c, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, compared with silymarin (Sil, 100 mg·kg^-1). In vitro results were consistent within vivo results. Mechanistically, Pue might suppress liver lipid accumulation and inflammation by regulating MMP8. In conclusion, Pue might be a promising clinical candidate for ALD treatment.

Background::Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory syndrome induced by several infectious agents. Multiple organs are affected by sepsis, including the liver, which plays an important role in metabolism and immune homeostasis. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) participate in several biological processes, although the role of FGF5 in sepsis is unclear. Methods::In this study, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was administrated to mice to establish a sepsis-induced liver injury. A similar in vitro study was conducted using L-02 hepatocytes. Western blot and immunohistochemistry staining were performed to evaluate the FGF5 expression level in liver tissues and cells. Inflammatory cell infiltrations, cleaved-caspase-3 expressions, reactive oxygen species and levels of inflammatory cytokines were detected by immunofluorescence, dihydroethidium staining, and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis, respectively. Flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis level of cells. In addition, ribonucleic acid (RNA)-sequencing was applied to explore the possible mechanism by which FGF5 exerted effects. Results::LPS administration caused FGF5 down-regulation in the mouse liver as well as in L-02 hepatocytes. Additionally, with FGF5 overexpression, liver injury and the level of hepatocyte apoptosis were ameliorated. Further, RNA sequencing performed in hepatocytes revealed the phosphoinositide-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway as a possible pathway regulated by FGF5. This was supported using an inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT pathway, which abrogated the protective effect of FGF5 in LPS-induced hepatocyte injury. Conclusion::The anti-apoptotic effect of FGF5 on hepatocytes suffering from LPS has been demonstrated and was dependent on the activation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the effect of health belief model in tumor patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) .Methods:From January 2020 to June 2021, 95 tumor patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine were selected by convenient sampling. The patients admitted from January to September 2020 were in the control group (47 cases), and the patients admitted from October 2020 to June 2021 were in the intervention group (48 cases). The control group was given routine catheter nursing, and the intervention group was given health belief model-based intervention.We compared the health cognition, compliance behavior and exercise behavior of the two groups of patients, and explored the transfer effect of compliance behavior and exercise behavior.Results:One month after the intervention, the health cognition, compliance behavior score and exercise behavior index in the intervention group were higher than those in the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). There was a transfer effect from compliance behavior to exercise behavior. The non-normed fit index ( NNFI), comparative fit index ( CFI), goodness-of-fit index ( GFI) were all greater than 0.9, and root mean square error of approximation ( RMSEA) was less than 0.06. Conclusions:Health belief model-based intervention can improve the health knowledge and rehabilitation exercise behavior of tumor patients with PICC. Compliance behavior has a transfer effect on exercise behavior, which can achieve the dual effect of promoting the change of health behavior.

Objective To use the "three-dimensional quality structure" model as a theoretical basis, based on multiple evidence-based evidence, to construct ICU nursing sensitivity quality indicators, and to provide reference for the evaluation and monitoring of ICU department nursing safety quality. Methods Evidence-based and Delphi methods were used to complete 3 rounds of inquiry among 27 experts to obtain consensus opinions of experts and to determine nursing quality indicators. Results Of the 30 articles included, 17 wereⅢA, 10 wereⅣA, 2 wereⅤA, and 1 wasⅤB. According to the"three-dimensional structure theory"model, the included indicators were sorted out and a total of 12 items were obtained. The effective recovery rate of 3 rounds of questionnaires was 96.6％, 100.0％, and 96.4％. The authoritative coefficients were 0.899, 0.895, and 0.909, and the coordination coefficients of the first, second, and third indexes were 0.340, 0.379, and 0.403, respectively,with significance (P<0.01). The final ICU nursing sensitivity quality indicator consists of 3 first-level indicators, 15 second-level indicators and 69 third-level indicators. The selection of indicators at all levels gradually converges. Conclusions The established ICU nursing sensitivity quality index accords with the principle of scientificity and practicality, and can be used for ICU department nursing quality assessment.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of miR-26b in the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer.

METHODSData of public chip databases were extracted to analyze the relationship between miR-26b expression and lymph node metastasis. Two types of colorectal cancer cell lines, Caco2 and DLD1, were selected, and the miR-26b-high colorectal cancer cell line was constructed using the method of lentivirus infection. The effects of up-regulating miR-26b expression on the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer cells were analyzed by Transwell migration and invasion experiment and wound healing assay. The effect of up-regulating miR-26b expression on stem cell phenotype of colorectal cancer cells was analyzed by sphere-formation assay.

RESULTSThe microarray detection results showed that the expression of miR-26b in tumor tissues of patients with lymph node metastasis was significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis[(12.04±0.20) vs. (11.31±0.19), t=2.646, P = 0.010]. In the in vitro experiment section, the Transwell experiment results showed that the number of invasive cells [(16.40±1.36) vs. (3.80±0.86), t=7.814, P=0.000] and migrating cells [(33.40±2.93) vs. (8.80±2.40), t=6.505, P=0.000] in miR-26b-high colorectal cancer cells was significantly higher as compared to miR-26b-low cells(all P<0.05). Would healing assay also confirmed that the migration speed of miR-26b-high colorectal cancer cells was significantly accelerated. Both the rate and the density of sphere formation were higher in miR-26b-high colorectal cancer cells than those in miR-26b-low colorectal cancer cells [Caco2:(168.3±11.7) vs. (54.2±10.8), t=7.185,P=0.002; DLD1:(4 076.0±409.8) vs.(1 613.0±210.1), t=5.349, P=0.006].

CONCLUSIONmiR-26b may promote the invasion and metastasis of colorectal cancer by accelerating the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells and enhancing the stem cell phenotype of tumor cells.
