Objective To construct recombinant lentiviral vector pSin-EF2-Puro-DAB2IP transfect prostate carcinoma PC3 cells,and to observe its transfection rate and expression level in PC3 cells.Methods The cDNA sequences specifically targeting the DAB2IP gene were designed and cloned into lentiviral vector PC3-pSin using DNA recombinant technique.Using PC3-pSin-EF2 as control,the 293T cells were transfected by Lipofectamine reagent for lentiviral particles packaged, and viral titer was determined. The DAB2IP mRNA and protein expression levels were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting methods. Results The PCR and sequencing analysis results confirmed that the DAB2IP gene sequence was consistent with the sequence in GeneBank. The number of DAB2IP gene copy in PC3-pSin-EF2-DAB2IP cells and its control PC3-pSin-EF2 cells were 0.001±0.000 and 0.158 ± 0.013,respectively.Compared with control cells,the overexpression of mRNA in PC3-pSin-EF2-DAB2IP cells upregulated (179.370 ± 15.891)times,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Compared with internal reference and control cells, the expression levels of DAB2IP protein in PC3-pSin-EF2-DAB2IP cells upregulated (2.431 ± 0.892)times and (2.415 ± 0.961)times respectively,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.001).Conclusion The lentiviral vector of the DAB2IP gene pSin-EF2-Puro-DAB2IP is successfully constructed,and its targeted gene is stably expressed in the targeted cells,which provides a basis for the further functional study of DAB2IP.

ObjectiveTo establish an experimental model of orthostatic hypotension (OH) after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rabbits and investigate the effect and relevant mechanism of tilting table exercise on OH.MethodsRabbit model of OH was established by completely transecting animal's spinal cord at the T5 segment and putting animal on a 60° tilting table. Tilting table exercise was applied to training group for 28 days starting from 4th day after operation. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse rate (PR) were observed by non invasive sphygmobolometer of rabbit at 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st day after the operation. The concentrations of plasma renin activity (PRA) and angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) of different position were detected with radio immunoassay at 31st day after operation.ResultsSBP at 60° head up tilt increased and difference of SBP between two positions decreased significantly in training group at 31st day. The concentrations of PRA and AngⅡ of SCI group and training group were higher than that of sham group. There were no significant differences in the concentrations of PRA and AngⅡ between training group and SCI group.Conclusion T5 complete SCI can induce OH in rabbits. Tilting table exercise can partially improve OH after SCI in rabbit, which may be not related to activation of the circulating renin angiotensin system.

Objective To study the correlations between meta moods and clinical behavior of junior college nursing students and provide a scientific basis for improving students' ability of clinical practice.Method The trait meta mood scale(TMMS)and nursing students' clinical practice evaluation scale were used in the study among 120 junior college nursing students.Results The total scores on TMMS and the clinical behavior were(3.45±0.43)and(2.96±0.39),respectively.The scores on the three dimensions of meta moods were positively correlated with 7 dimensions of clinical behaviors and the total score(P<0.01 or P<0.05).Conclusions The meta moods of college nursing students are at high level and their clinical behaviors are at medium level.Teachers and nursing administrators should help students regulate and manage their emotions in order to promote their ability of clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate denervation changes [fibrillation potentials (fib) and positive sharp waves (psw)] in thoracic paraspinal muscles as diagnostic aids in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods The fib and psw of thoracic paraspinal muscles,the motor unit potential of sternocleidomastoid muscle were detected in 50 patients who had been identified as having ALS.Age and sex-matched,30 normal subjects and 30 patients who suffered radicular disease in cervical or lumbosacral region were also detected in thoracic paraspinal muscles for finding fib and psw serving as controls. Results In ALS group,a vast of fib and psw were found in thoracic paraspinal muscles in 41 of 50 ALS patients (82%),they were not found with sternocleidomastoid muscle,but the motor unit potential of this muscle was shown having long-duration and high-amplitude in 48 of 50 ALS patients (96%),which were coincided with the chronic neurogenic changes.6 of 50 patients had denervation changes of tongue muscles,3 of them found fib and psw.2 of 30 patients who suffered from radicular diseases were found with a few of fib and psw changes in thoracic paraspinal muscles.None of these symptoms were found in normal subjects.Conclusion A vast of fib and psw in thoracic paraspinal muscles should represent a sensitive tool for diagnosis of ALS.

Objective To explore the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLRPN). Methods The clinical, electrophysiological and neuroimaging changes in 15 cases of DLRPN were investigated. Results The major clinical manifestations of 13 cases were unilateral or asymmetrical pain and progressive muscular weakness and atrophy of the proximal lower limb. The nerve conduction studies in affected nerves showed absent or reduced compound muscle action potential amplitudes and sensory responses with proportionate slowing of the conduction velocities. F waves and H reflexes were of long latencies or absent. Electromyography of affected muscles showed positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials involving lumbar paraspinal muscles. Assessment of the motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) revealed high amplitude, long duration, and polyphasic MUAPs with reduced recruitment 50% cases have much lower R-R interval variation. Conclusions DLRPN presents disabling pain and muscular weakness and elctrophysiological examination has a paramount value in the diagnosis and evaluation of this disease

Objective To discuss the changes of serum Th1/Th2 cytokine levels of allergic rhinitis patients and the intervention effect of montelukast.Methods 40 cases of allergic rhinitis patients were selected as treatment group,who were given montelukast tablets (10mg) through the mouth one time daily for 8 weeks.The changes of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in peripheral blood (PB) before and after medical treatment were observed,as well as the clinical curative effect and security.Accordingly 30 cases of healthy people were also selected as the control group.Results The IFN-γlevel in culture supernatant of patients in the treatment group [(8.74 ± 1.37) ng/mL] was lower than that in the control group before the medical treatment [(15.13 ± 3.16)ng/mL],while the IL-4 level of patients in the treatment group [(1.64 ± 0.47) ng/mL] was higher than that in the control group [(0.72 ± 0.21) ng/mL] (t =2..93,3.52,all P ＜ 0.01).After 8 weeks' medical treatment,the IFN-γ level in culture supernatant of patients [(12.36 ± 2.56) ng/mL] increased obviously than that of before [(8.74 ± 1.37) ng/mL],while the IL-4 level [(1.21 ± 0.28) ng/mL] declined obviously than that of before [(1.64 ± 0.47) ng/mL] (t =2.36,2.31,all P ＜ 0.05).The total clinical efficiency of patients in the treatment group was 92.5 ％ (37/40).No serious drug adverse reaction (DAR) appeared during the medical treatment.Conclusion The Th1/Th2 cytokine unbalances in peripheral blood (PB) of allergic rhinitis patients.Montelukast has reliable curative effect with high security,whose mechanism of action has close effect on lowering the IL-4 in peripheral blood (PB),increasing the IFN-γ level in peripheral blood (PB),correcting the balance disorders of Th1/Th2 cytokine,and the transformation of immunity reaction from Th2 to Th1.

Objective To measure the difference of radiosensitivity between small and large intestines toward high dose of radiation and investigate the role of stem cells in this difference.Methods C57BL/6 male mice,6-8 weeks old,were randomly divided as control group and radiation group received 19 Gy whole body γ-ray irridiation.Large and small intestines of the mice were collected 6,12,24,48,72 and 96 h after radiation.The proliferation and apoptosis of the large and small intestines and their stem cells were then detected by immunochemistry,and the change of stem cell number in the large and small intestines were detected by in-situ hybridization.Results HE staining showed that 19 Gy γ-ray irradiation caused more severe injury in the small intestine,and all the crypt in the small intestine were extinct at 48 h post-radiation.However,the proliferation index of crypt in the large intestine was as high as 0.23 (t =4.67,P ＜0.05).Compared with the small intestine,the apoptotic index of epithelial cells in the crypt of large intestine was much lower at 12 and 24 h after irradiation (t =-1.92,-2.42,P＜0.05).The apoptotic population of stem cells in the small intestine at 12 and 24 h post irradiation were significantly lower than that in the large intestine (t =-1.98,-2.33,P ＜ 0.05),and the number of stem cell in the large intestine was significantly higher than that in the small intestine 24,48 h after radiation (t =1.98,3.31,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The radiosensitivity of small intestine toward high dose of irradiation is significantly higher than that of the large intestine,where the difference in radiosensitivity of stem cells between large intestine and small intestine may be involved.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the bacteriological characteristics of nasal secretions of chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS)in our hospital,and conduct drug sensitivity test in order to provide theoretic reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:87 CRS patients underwent nasal endoscopic surgery were selected and the nasal secretions of patients were taken for bacterial culture. Automatic microbial analyzer was used to identify the bacteriological characteristics,and disk diffusion test was adopted for drug sensitivity test.
