Objective To investigate the relationship between diabetes and bone metabolism and the potential epigenetic mechanisms. Methods BMSCs were cultured for 7 and 15 days in cell culture medium with different concentrations of glucose. The mRNA and protein expression of HDACs and osteogenesis-related genes were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot assay ,respectively. Moreover ,the combination of HDAC to the promoter region of Runx2 was tested by the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Results ThemRNA expression of osteogenesis-related genes ,incuding OCN(P < 0.05)and Col1(P < 0.05),in the bone marrow of diabetic mice was significantly reduced compared with the control mice. The mRNA and protein expression of ALP ,OCN ,Runx2 and OSX was gradually reduced with the increasing concentration of glucose ,while HDAC2 mRNA and protein expression was increased. The binding activity of HDAC2 to the upstream and downstream of Runx2 promoter region in 25mM glucose-treated BMSCs was higher than the control group(P < 0.05). Conclusoins Diabetes might repress osteogenesis of BMSCs via inhibiting the activity of Runx2 through upregu-lating the expression of HDAC2.

Objective To assess the value of multi-slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in diagnosis of posterior nutcracker syndrome (NCS). Methods MSCTA of 15 patients clinically diagnosed as posterior NCS (patient group) and 50 subjects with normal renal vessels (control group) were retrospectively analyzed. The anatomy, course and relationship to the adjacent structure of left renal vein (LRV) and its branches were observed. The anteroposterior diameter (d1) and cross areas (s1) of the angle of control group and posterior abdominal artery (AA), the anteroposterior diameter (d2) and cross areas (s2) at the largest lumen near the renal hilar were measured and the ratio of s2/s1 and d2/ d1 were calculated.Results All LRVs posterior AA of patient group were compressed and narrowing with dilating apparently near the renal hilar. The difference of d2 was not significant (P＞0.05), but of other values were significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion MSCTA can show anatomy and three-dimentional trend clearly of LRV for posterior NCS, and evaluate the extent of narrow and dilating lumen accurately with cross areas measuring.

Objective To investigate the effect of CTLA4-Ig chimera protein on mice mortality, histopathological changes, viral fiters, expression of CTLA4 protein on infiltrated T lymphocyte and the balance of Thl/Th2 in mice myocarditis caused by coxsackie virus B3 (CVB3). Methods A total of 106 four to six week-old male BALB/c mice were used in the experiments, which were divided into CTLA4-Ig group (n = 16), CVB3 group (n=40), IgG group (n =40) and normal control group(n = 10) randomly. The mice in CVB3 group, IgG group and CTLA4-Ig group were inoculated intraperitoneally with 0. 15 ml CVB3 and the mice in norreal control group with 0. 15 ml Eagle. The mice in IgG group and CTLA4-1g group were inoculated with IgG (0. I mg/kg) and CTLA4-Ig(0. 1 mg/kg) at 6 h and 72 h post inoculation(p, i. ), respectively, The surplus mice in each group were sacrificed at day 7 p.i. Light microscope was used to quantify the inflammation. The expression of CVB3 mRNA in mycardium were semi-quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR). The expression of CTLA4 protein were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The levels of IL-2, IL-4 and 1FN-γ in serum were measured by ELISA. Results The mice mortality, histopathological score and CVB3 mRNA in CTLA4-Ig group were lower than that in CVB3 group ( P < 0.05, P < 0.01, P < 0. 05, respectively). The expression of CTLA4 was significantly increased in CTLA4-Ig therapy group (P < 0.05 ). The serum level of IFN-γ of mice in CVB3 group were significantly higher than that in normal control group( P < 0.01 ). The serum level of IL-4 of mice in CVB3 group were much lower than that in normal control group( P < 0.01 ). The serum level of IL-2 in CVB3 group had no statistical significance with that in normal control group ( P > 0.05 ). The serum level of IFN-γ in mice of CTLA4-Ig group were much lower than that in CVB3 group ( P <0.01 ) and lgG group (P < 0. 01 ). The serum level of IL-4 of mice in CTLA4-Ig group were significantly higher than that in CVB3 group (P<0.01) and IgG group (P<0.01). The serum level of IL-2 in CTLA4-Ig group had no statistical significance with that in CVB 3 control group and lgG group ( P > 0. 0 5 ) . Conclusion CTLA4-Ig may relieve inflammation and reduce mice mortality by blocking the costimulation signals for T lymphocyte activation and reinforcing Th2 response.

The oncogenic product of BCR-ABL is an abnormal tyrosine kinase that causes chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). With further research into the pathogenesis of CML, the discovery of compounds that selectively inhibit abnormal BCR-ABL tyrosine kinases is a research focus worthy of attention. The first three generations of BCR-ABL inhibitors are orthosteric inhibitors, which competitively block the binding of ABL protein tyrosine kinase to ATP and prevent it from activating downstream signals. The fourth-generation BCR-ABL inhibitors allosterically inhibit ABL protein tyrosine kinase by binding to the myristoyl pocket, providing greater selectivity and maintaining activity against drug-resistant mutations proteins. Novel drug design strategies such as proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC), covalent inhibitors and dual targeting inhibitors also provide new directions for the development of BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors. This paper reviews recent research advances on BCR-ABL kinase inhibitors and discusses drug design strategies for various novel BCR-ABL inhibitors.

Objective: To explore the fitting and its influencing factors of ICU nurses. Methods: There were 268 nurses recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University, the Ninth Hospital of Xi′an, Shaanxi Provincial People′s Hospital by convenience sampling between April and June 2018. The Fitting Scale, Social Undermining Scale, Perceived Organizational Support Scale and Supportive Communication Scale were used in the investigation. Results: The score of person-organization fit was (32.20±5.17). The score of person-job fit was (55.14±8.24), with the lowest score of supply-value fit subscale (2.58±0.48). The score of perceived organizational support, social undermining and supportive communication were (45.36±9.64), (46.27±7.48) and (68.47±11.25) respectively. Perceived organizational support, social undermining, contract nurses, and educational level could influence person- organization fit, which could explain 59.3% of the total variation. Working time, supportive communication and perceived organizational support could influence person- job fit, which could explain 47.6% of the total variation. Conclusions Nursing managers should improve the core value system of human resources management and organizational culture construction, enhance organizational support, construct humanities environment and coping strategy of undermining, provide the relevant training of interpersonal communication, and increase their organizational and job fitting.
