Influencing factors of holistic nursing intervention under a social medical model on the psychology and quality of life of patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Objective: This research was designed to probe into the influencing factors of holistic nursing intervention under a social medical model on psychology and quality of life in advanced gastric cancer (GC) patients.

Methods: Altogether 194 patients with advanced GC treated in our hospital from May 2017 to July 2018 were divided into two groups according to different nursing intervention methods. Where from, 86 were given routine nursing intervention and 108 were given holistic nursing intervention under a social medical model.

YQWY Decoction Improves Myocardial Remodeling via Activating the IL-10/Stat3 Signaling Pathway.

Heart failure (HF) has been known as a global health problem, and cardiac remodeling plays an essential role in the development of HF. We hypothesized that YQWY decoction might exert a cardioprotective effect against myocardium inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis via activating the interleukin-10 (IL-10)/Stat3 signaling pathway. To test this hypothesis, the HF model in rats was established by pressure overload through the minimally invasive transverse aortic constriction (MTAC).

Knockdown of miR-660 protects nucleus pulposus cells from TNF-a-induced apoptosis by targeting serum amyloid A1.

Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is a well-known cause of lower back pain, which is induced by multiple factors including increased apoptosis and decreased survival of nucleus pulposus cells. In this study, we evaluate the effect and potential mechanism of miR-660 on the nucleus pulposus cells apoptosis induced by TNF-α.

Methods: First, we collected tissue of nucleus pulposus from IVDD and healthy controls.

Reversal effect of ginsenoside Rh2 on oxaliplatin-resistant colon cancer cells and its mechanism.

Chemotherapy is an important treatment modality for colon cancer, however, drug resistance is the main factor leading to treatment failure. Ginsenoside Rh2 (G-Rh2), the main bioactive metabolite of ginseng, is known to possess the ability to potently induce cell apoptosis, inhibit cell proliferation and reverse multidrug resistance in a variety of cancer cells. The present study examined the effect of G-Rh2 on oxaliplatin (L-OHP)-resistant colon cancer cells and its potential mechanism.

RETRACTED: Ophiopogonin B induces the autophagy and apoptosis of colon cancer cells by activating JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway.
