Objective To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention on anxiety in patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) undergoing intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Methods 50 patients with AMI undergoing IABP with the score of Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) more than 14 points, were divided into conventional intervention group (n=25) and comprehensive intervention group (n=25). The conventional intervention group received all the conventional nursing measures including cognitive behavioral intervention, and the comprehensive intervention group received propofol intravenous pumping in addition with Ramsay sedation at II-III level. The vital signs, HAMA scores, major cardiovascular events, and vascular complications were recorded before and the 1st-5th days after intervention. Results The HAMA scores, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean pressure decreased in most of the time points after intervention in the comprehensive intervention group (P<0.05). And there was no complication such as low blood pressure, respiratory depression. The incidence rates of cardiac arrhythmias, puncture hematoma/bleeding and catheter displacement were lower in the comprehensive intervention group than in the conventional intervention group (P<0.05). Conclusion Comprehensive intervention can improve the symptoms of anxiety in the patients with AMI undergoing IABP, and reduce the incidence of arrhythmia, vascular complications and catheter displacement.

Objective To investigate the difference between nodular gastritis and atrophy gastritis.Methods During 2004.4～2005.3, the clinical, endoscopic and pathological findings of nodular gastritis and atrophy gastritis were analysed.Results Nodular gastritis is usually classified as nodular type A(nodular gastritis) and type B(atrophic gastritis with nodular changes). The endoscopic appearance of nodular gastritis was characterized as uniform miliary pattern and predominantly affected young women. The incidence of dyspeptic symptom was higher in patients with nodular gastritis than in atrophy gastritis. Nodular gastritis in adults is caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. Antral biopsy specimens showed lymphoid follicle formation and/or marked lymphoid aggregates. The prevalence of lymphoid follicle formation in the antrum was higher in patients with nodular gastritis than atrophy gastritis. Moderate to severe atrophy gastritis also usually has the same nodular endoscopic appearance,but that is not uniform and intensive.Conclusion Nodular gastritis is a very special gastritis with Helicobacter pylori infection and is different from atrophy gastritis.It is worth to be noticed.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of AS2 O3 inducing the apoptosis of myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS) cell line SKM-1 .Methods SKM-1 cells were incubated with AS2 O3 ,and then the cellular morphology was observed ,flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis ,RT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of Bcl-2 ,Bax and caspase-3 mRNA .Results 0 .25、0 .50 μmol/L AS2 O3 could not markedly induce the apoptosis of SKM-1 cells (P>0 .05) .But 2 .00、8 .00、32 .00 μmol/L of AS2 O3 could obviously promote the apoptosis of SKM-1 cells .With the increase of the acting time and concentration of AS2 O3 ,the apoptosis rate increased ,too(P<0 .01) ,the expressions of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 mRNA decreased (P<0 .01) ,the expressions of promoting apoptosis gene Bax and caspase-3 mRNA increased (P<0 .01 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion 2 .00、8 .00、32 .00 μmol/L of AS2O3 may promote the apoptosis of SKM-1 cells through down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 gene and up-regulating the ex-pressions of Bax and caspase-3 genes .

With the emergence of drug resistant tuberculosis, it is very urgent to find novel anti-tuberculosis drugs, especially novel anti-drug-resistant tuberculosis drugs. Because of the slow growth and the need to work in a biosafty environment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the development of evaluation of drug effect is severely impeded. In order to solve these issues, non-pathogenic fast-growing Mycobacterium smegmatis is introduced as test organism. The inhA is one of a target of isoniazid (INH) overexpression or mutation of this gene in Mycobacterium tuberculosis conferring resistant to INH. A recombinant plasmid bearing inhA was constructed and electroporated into Mycobacterium smegmatis, using shuttle expression vector pMV261. Transformants were induced to express a protein of inhA, identified by SDS-PAGE. Results show that Mycobacterium smegmatis containing inhA plasmids exhibited 100-fold or greater increased resistance to INH, but it conferred no increased resistance to others first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. Resazurin microtiter assay plate testing of Mycobacterium smegmatis susceptibility to drugs is a rapid, simple, and inexpensive method and could decrease color background of drugs by detecting fluorescence. It will be benefit for high-throughout screening of drugs of anti-isoniazid-resistant Mycobacteria.

OBJECTIVETo revalidate the conversion factor（CF）for the conversion of BCR-ABL （P210）transcript levels to the international scale（BCR- ABLIS）in chronic myeloid leukemia（CML） which validated before.

METHODSPeking University People's Hospital（PKUPH）prepared the exchange samples for revalidation of CFs of 15 laboratories which validated nine or eighteen months ago. The fresh BCR-ABL（P210）（+）bone morrow or peripheral blood nucleated cells were diluted with BCR-ABL （P210）（-）cells to achieve different BCR- ABL levels, totally 16 sets and 24 samples per set were prepared. TRIzol reagent was added in each tube. Each laboratory tested BCR-ABL transcript levels of one set of samples. Agreement between BCR-ABLIS of each laboratory and PKUPH was assessed by the Bland- Altman method. For laboratories which did not meet the criteria of revalidation, linear regression equation was derived after the samples with maximum BCR-ABL deviation were removed until R²>0.98, then new CF was calculated.

RESULTS10 laboratories met the revalidation criteria with both bias within ±1.4 fold and 95% limits of agreement within ±6 folds, and their CFs still could be used for accurately conversion of BCR-ABLIS. New CFs were recalculated as of 1.8-6.3 folds of their previous CFs in 5 laboratories not met the criteria.

CONCLUSIONRevalidation of CF by sample exchange among laboratories was necessary for accurate and continuous application of BCR-ABLIS, which not only tested the validity of CF acquired before but also calculated new available CFs for those with invalid CFs.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become one major threat to human population health. The RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) presents an ideal target of antivirals, whereas nucleoside analogs inhibitor is hindered by the proofreading activity of coronavirus. Herein, we report that corilagin (RAI-S-37) as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, binds directly to RdRp, effectively inhibits the polymerase activity in both cell-free and cell-based assays, fully resists the proofreading activity and potently inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection with a low 50% effective concentration (EC

Objective: To investigate the current status and real performance of the detection of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 fusion transcript levels and WT1 transcript levels in China through interlaboratory comparison. Methods: Peking University People’s Hospital (PKUPH) prepared the samples for comparison. That is, the fresh RUNX1-RUNX1T1 positive (+) bone morrow nucleated cells were serially diluted with RUNX1-RUNX1T1 negative (-) nucleated cells from different patients. Totally 23 sets with 14 different samples per set were prepared. TRIzol reagent was added in each tube and thoroughly mixed with cells for homogenization. Each laboratory simultaneously tested RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels of one set of samples by real-time quantitative PCR method. All transcript levels were reported as the percentage of RUNX1-RUNX1T1 or WT1 transcript copies/ABL copies. Spearman correlation coefficient between the reported transcript levels of each participated laboratory and those of PKUPH was calculated. Results: ①RUNX1-RUNX1T1 comparison: 9 samples were (+) and 5 were (-) , the false negative and positive rates of the 20 participated laboratories were 0 (0/180) and 5% (5/100) , respectively. The reported transcript levels of all 9 positive samples were different among laboratories. The median reported transcript levels of 9 positive samples were from 0.060% to 176.7%, which covered 3.5-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.5 to 12.3 (one result which obviously deviated from other laboratories’ results was not included) , 85% (17/20) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ②WT1 comparison: The median reported transcript levels of all 14 samples were from 0.17% to 67.6%, which covered 2.6-log. The ratios of each sample’s highest to the lowest reported transcript levels were from 5.3-13.7, 62% (13/21) of the laboratories had correlation coefficient ≥0.98. ③ The relative relationship of the reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 transcript levels between the participants and PKUPH was not always consistent with that of WT1 transcript levels. Both RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels from 2 and 7 laboratories were individually lower than and higher than those of PKUPH, whereas for the rest 11 laboratories, one transcript level was higher than and the other was lower than that of PKUPH. Conclusion The reported RUNX1-RUNX1T1 and WT1 transcript levels were different among laboratories for the same sample. Most of the participated laboratories reported highly consistent result with that of PKUPH. The relationship between laboratories of the different transcript levels may not be the same.
