Objective To construct genetically engineered cells that secrete human TH and GDNF at the same time by stable co-transfection pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF in SH-SY5Y cells and study their effects on the gene therapy of Parkinson′s disease (PD). Methods pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF were constructed by inserting human TH and GDNF cDNA into pcDNA3.0 and pcDNA3.1, respectively. SH-SY5Y cells were transfected with pcDNA3.0/hTH and pcDNA3.1/hGDNF and the positive cell clones of human TH and GDNF cDNA engineered cells could be identified by RT-PCR. The engineered cells were co-cultured with primary dopaminergic neurons in mouse. The number and growth condition of primary dopaminergic neurons were examined by Immunocytochemistry. Results The number of primary dopaminergic neurons protected by double-gene engineered cells increased at least by 2.8 times in comparison with the control cells(P

Objective To discuss the clinicopathologic features, diagnosis and treatment of pri-mary prostatic signet ring cell carcinoma (PPSRCC). Methods Clinical data of 23 PPSRCC cases were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age was 74 years and majority of them had aggravated dysu-ria. The mean serum PSA was 45.3 ng/ml (7.4-126.8 ng/ml). To exclude the metastasis from stomach and colon SRCC, upper gastric tract endoscopy and barium enema were carried out. Seven pa-tients received radical prostatectomies and 2 patients who had positive margins received hormonal and radiation therapy. The rest of patients received maximal androgen blockade therapy. Photoselective vaporization of the prostate was performed on 11 patients who had lower urinary tract symptoms. All cases were investigated by routine pathological, immunohistochemical studies. Results Seventeen cases of PPSRCC were associated with concurrent high-grade prostatic carcinoma, only 6 cases were pure SRCC. Immunohistochemical stains were positive in all cases for PSA and PAP. Stains were ne-gative for AB/PAS (23/23) and CEA (21/23). The clinical TNM stages were 7 of Ⅱ , 10 of Ⅲ and 6 of Ⅳ. Follow-up was available on 20 cases with a mean 24 months and 3 cases were lost during follow up. Eight cases died of metastasis. Five cases had evidence of recurrence 12-21 months from presen-tation. Conclusions The diagnosis of PPSRCC depends on pathological and immunohistochemical studys after metastasis from stomach and colon SRCC is excluded. Early diagnosis and combination treatment for PPSRCC might improve its prognosis.

Chromium is a harmful contaminant showing mutagenicity and carcinogenicity.Therefore,detection of chromium requires the development of low-cost and high-sensitivity sensors.Herein,blue-fluorescent carbon quantum dots were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method from alkali-soluble Poria cocos polysaccharide,which is green source,cheap and easy to obtain,and has no pharmacological ac-tivity due to low water solubility.These carbon quantum dots exhibit good fluorescence stability,water solubility,anti-interference and low cytotoxicity,and can be specifically combined with the detection of Cr(Ⅵ)to form a non-fluorescent complex that causes fluorescence quenching,so they can be used as a label-free nanosensor.High-sensitivity detection of Cr(Ⅵ)was achieved through internal filtering and static quenching effects.The fluorescence quenching degree of carbon dots fluorescent probe showed a good linear relationship with Cr(Ⅵ)concentration in the range of 1-100 μM.The linear equation was F0/F=0.9942+0.01472[Cr(Ⅵ)](R2=0.9922),and the detection limit can be as low as 0.25 μM(S/N=3),which has been successfully applied to Cr(Ⅵ)detection in actual water samples herein.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between processed food consumption and blood pressure level of students in a university in Yunnan Province, so as to provide the reference for preventing hypertension in university students.
Methods:
In October 2021, a cluster sampling method was used to select 4 781 freshmen from a university in Kunming, Yunnan Province. The frequency of processed food consumption of university students was assessed by using the dietary frequency questionnaire, and height, weight and blood pressure were measured. Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the differences in blood pressure level of university students with different demographic variables, and the association between processed food consumption and blood pressure level was analyzed with a generalized linear model.
Results:
Among the students of a university in Yunnan Province, the detection rates of systolic prehypertension and hypertension were 33.86% and 1.23%, and the detection rates of diastolic prehypertension were 32.13% and hypertension 7.22%. The results of generalized linear model analysis showed that after controlling for demographic variables and other variables that might affect the blood pressure level of university students, the consumption of processed food (bread and cake: β =0.15, 95% CI =0.01-0.29) and ultra processed food (coffee beverage: β =-0.29, 95% CI =-0.54--0.03) were associated with systolic blood pressure level( P <0.05). The consumption of processed food (salted duck egg: β =0.21, 95% CI =0.01-0.41) was correlated with the diastolic blood pressure of college students ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
Processed food consumption in university students may increase the risk of high blood pressure.The education of healthy eating among college students should be strengthened to reduce the consumption of processed foods.
