Objective To investigate the regulation effect of interleukin-1? (IL-1?) on the expression of VEGF in A549 cells. Methods A549 cells were incubated with IL-1? in the presence or absence of Celecoxib. After incubation, cells were harvested to detect VEGF mRNA by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the supernatant was collected to determine the concentration of VEGF protein by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results After treatment with IL-1?, the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein in A549 cells were significantly higher than that in the control group(P

Objective To investigate the effect of blood specimen collection from umbilical vein catheter on catheter usage condition and relevant complications. Methods 80 premature infants with indwelling umbilical vein catheter were divided into the blood collection group and the non-blood collec-tion group, then the hospitalization time, catheter indwelling time and rate of catheter-related complications were compared. The 40 premature infants in the blood colleetion group were subsequently divided into the experimental group in which blood was collected from umbilical vein catheter and the control group in which blood was collected from peripheral blood vessel, then the blood collection time, success rate and influence on newborns were compared. Results There was no significant difference in hospitalization time, catheter indwelling time and rate of catheter-related complications between the blood collection group and the non-blood collection group. There was statistical significance in blood collection time, success rate and adverse reaction on suffering newborns between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusions There was no obvious influence on the regular service of the catheter if only the method is correct and operating procedure is normative, also it possesses advantages such as no pain, high success rate, peripheral vascular protection, etc. So, it can be used as one of the ways to collect blood speci-men for critical newborns.

Objective]To explore the aberrant expression of SOD1 gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues,as well as in NPC cell lines,then to observe the effect of SOD1 on NPC cells metastatic ability and investigate the intrinsic?mechanism.[Methods]Immunohistochemical technique was used to examine SOD1 expression in carcinoma tissues and adjacent tissues(n=10). Small interfering RNAs and inhibitor LCS-1 were used to knockdown of SOD1 expression and inhibit SOD1 activity, respectively. Then,wound healing test and migration assay were applied to detect cell metastatic ability in vitro. Real-time PCR and Western Blot were used to analyze the expression of EMT-related genes(E-cadherin,Vimentin,Twist).[Results]SOD1 was found to be significantly up-regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues(n = 7 ,70%),compared to control. SOD1 was also highly expressed in highly metastatic potential NPC cell lines(CNE2,5-8F,S18)compared with low metastatic ability cell lines(6-10B). Knockdown SOD1 expression or inhibit SOD1 activity suppress cell motility in CNE2 and 5-8F cells. Finally,we demonstrate that SOD1 inhibition plays a role in induction of epithelial marker E-cadherin and has an opposite effect on mesenchymal marker vimen tin and transcriptional factor twist.[Conclusion]These results suggest that SOD1 contributes to EMT and might be important for tumor metastasis in NPC.

Objective:To develop a remote training system for CT simulation positioning of radiotherapy using virtual reality technology, and to explore a new method of medical training.Methods:The 3DMax and Maya were employed to establish the 3D model. The unity3D engine was adopted to develop 3D virtual operation and interaction system. Java spring MVC architecture was utilized as the system background service. MySQL was used as the background database system. The users were assigned into two roles: teacher and student, and the modes were divided into teaching and assessment modes.Results:The function of the system covered the whole process of CT simulation positioning, mainly including modules of patient information management, CT simulation positioning machine cognition, body position fixation technology, CT positioning scanning, and emergency handling, etc. Since it was put into use in 2018, the system has been running stably, with 14 920 pages views and an 86.66% pass rate. Compared with the traditional training, the training efficiency has been significantly improved and has received unanimous recognition.Conclusions:The remote training system can effectively improve the clinical practice ability and humanistic care ability of the trainees, which has good autonomy, sharing, and innovation. At present, the system has been put online and has strong popularization with prospects for broad application.

It fundamentally reduces the training radiation hazard and provides reference for the reform and progress of QA training mode of medical electronic linear accelerators.
