Objective To guide new nurses to establish positive and correct occupational self-concept, enhance occupational identity and delay job burnout by adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses. Methods Randomly selected 56 new nurses of our hospital in recent years as research objects. 28 nurses enrolled in 2013 formed the experimental group and 28 nurses enrolled in 2014 formed the control group. The experimental group focused on nurses themselves. In the 10-month standardized training, 30 class-hour traditional culture education was added and more than 180 times of social practices were conducted; for the control group, only standardized training was carried out. Effects before and after, all subjects were examined occupational self-concept and desert jobs rate after work 2 years. Results The occupational self-concept of the experimental group tended to reach a positive level, which was (33.14±2.15) points, obviously higher than that of the control group, which was only (30.57 ± 3.03) points. Therefore, the difference was statistically significant(t=3.703 4,P<0.01). In terms of dimensions of comprehensive self- concept, employee relationships and communication ability were (4.92 ± 0.50), (6.34 ± 0.54), (5.87 ± 0.44) points in the experimental group and (4.40 ± 0.63), (5.89 ± 0.77),(5.55 ± 0.64) points in the control group, the experimental group had significant improvements (t=3.458 1, 2.561 9, 2.206 4, P<0.01). Comparing the separation rates of the two groups after two years, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses plays a positive role in promoting their occupational self-concept.

Objective To study the influence of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizome (SMR) and Carthami Flos (CF) before and after compatibility on activitis of cytochrome P 1A2 (CYP1A2),cytochrome P2E1 (CYP2E1),and cytochrome P3A4 (CYP3A4) from rat liver microsomes.Methods Using caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam as the probe drugs ofCYP1A2,CYP2E1,and CYP3A4,the SD rats were randomized divided into four groups:control group,SMR (1.2 g crude drug/kg) group,CF (0.4 g crude drug/kg) group,and SMR (1.2 g crude drug/kg) + CF (0.4 g crude drug/kg) group.According to the above dose,rats were ig given drugs for 7 d.Rats were injected with caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam solution in tail vein 30 rain after the last administration,and the blood was collected at different time points.Metronidazole as internal standard,method has been established to determine the levels of caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam to evaluate the activities of CYP1A2,CYP2E1,and CYP3A4 by HPLC.Results Compared with control group,SMR increased the clearance rates (CL) of caffeine,chlorzoxazone,and midazolam,reduced the AUC,and t1/2 was also show a decreasing trend,but the difference was not significant.In CF group,CL of caffeine and chlorzoxazone was decreased,but the difference is not significant.CL of midazolam significantly decreased (P ＜ 0.01).AUC of chlorzoxazone increased,but the difference was not significant.AUC of caffeine and midazolam increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05 and 0.01).In SMR + CF group,the CL of caffeine and chlorzoxazone decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05),the AUC of caffeine and chlorzoxazone increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05),and t1/2 also showed a decreasing trend,but the difference is not significant.Conclusion Compatibility of SMR and CF has an inhibitive effect on CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 in rats,and it could be one of the mechanisms ofinteractive synergy.

Cell-free protein expression system is a new method to express target protein in vitro and has been widely applied to the study of protein structure, protein function and other related fields. Preparation of cell extract is one of the key factors that affect the efficiency of the cell-free system. To improve the efficiency and economical feasibility of cell-free protein synthesis, we discussed the parameters during the preparation of the cell extract. These parameters include centrifugation speed, pre-incubation, and dialysis. We used the green fluorescent protein as the reporter protein, and obtained a simple procedure for the preparation of Escherichia coli cell extract. A simple centrifugation step (12 000 x g, 10 min) followed by a brief incubation was sufficient for the preparation of an active cell extract to support protein expression with higher productivity (209 microg/mL). Compared to the traditional E. coli S30 procedure, the processing time was reduced by 62%, and the productivity was increased by 2.6 times. The new procedure will make the advantage of cell-free technology more obvious, and promote its wider application.

PURPOSE: In our previous studies we showed that upregulating claudin-6 (CLDN6) expression may contribute to preventing breast cancer, and that 17beta-estradiol induces a concentration- and time-related effect on CLDN6 mRNA and protein expression in MCF-7 cells. However, the mechanisms of 17beta-estradiol regulation of CLDN6 are still unclear. We determined the role of estrogen receptors in the regulation of CLDN6 expression in human breast cancer tissues and a cell line. METHODS: CLDN6, estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) expression in breast cancer tissues were examined using immunohistochemistry. The human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, which expresses ERalpha but not ERbeta was used. CLDN6 and ERalpha expression were measured by reverse transcriptase-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. Treatments with propyl pyrazole triol (PPT) and ICI 182, 780 (ICI) were performed. RESULTS: The results revealed that CLDN6 expression was related to ERalpha in breast cancer tissues (p=0.033). PPT, an ERalpha-selective ligand, upregulated CLDN6 expression at 10-5 mol/L after 24 hours. The effect of PPT on regulating CLDN6 expression in MCF-7 cells was blocked by ICI. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that Eralpha reulates CLDN6 expression in breast cancer tissues and that 17beta-estradiol induces CLDN6 expression through an ERalpha pathway in MCF-7 cells.

Objective:To analyze the expression of CD27 on T lymphocytes in the microenvironment of multiple myeloma (MM), and explore whether CD27 level or the CD27-/CD27+ ratio of T-cell affect the prognosis of MM patients.Methods:A total number of 103 newly-diagnosed MM patients from January 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Harbin Medical University. All patients received bortezomib-based three-drugs combination regimen. The expression of CD27 on T lymphocytes in bone marrow aspirate samples was detected by flow cytometry before any treatment. MM patients were divided into two groups according to the CD27 level: CD27-high expression group (CD27 expression on T-cells ≥20%) and CD27-low expression group (CD27 expression on T-cells <20%). The clinical characteristics, treatment response and prognosis of patients between the two groups were analyzed using χ 2-test. The survival and clinical information of patients were compared using Kaplan-Meier method, and the related factors related to the survival of MM were analyzed using Cox proportional risk model. Results:Among 103 MM patients, 68 cases (66.0%) were included in CD27 high expression group, and 35 cases (34.0%) were included in low expression group. The percentage of bone marrow plasma cells and β2-MG level in CD27 high expression group were higher than those in CD27 low expression group significantly (54.4% [37/68] vs 22.9% [8/35], χ2=9.352, P=0.002;58.8% [40/68] vs 37.1% [13/35], χ2=4.348, P=0.037), and the proportion of ISS stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ in CD27 high expression group was higher than the counterpart (79.4% [54/68] vs 60% [21/35], χ2=4.399, P=0.036). After 4 cycles of three-drug combination therapy, the overall response rate ( ORR=stringent complete response+complete response+very good partial response+partial response) of the low CD27 expression group was higher than the high expression group (82.9% [29/35] vs 38.2% [26/68], χ2=18.489, P<0.01). The deep response rate to treatment (stringent complete response+complete response+very good partial response) was higher (48.6% [17/35] vs 27.9% [19/68], χ2=4.326, P=0.038), and the progression, free surviva (PFS) was longer (21months vs.14.1months, t=18.655, P<0.001) in the low expression group compared with CD27-high group. Univariate analysis showed that CD27-/CD27+T lymphocyte ratio, ISS stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ, age ≥65 years, β2-Mg ≥3.5 mg/L, and plasma cell proportion ≥30% were associated with the poor prognosis of MM patients, and the differences were significant statistically ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that CD27-/CD27+T lymphocyte ratio was an independent prognostic factor for 2-year overall survival (OS)( HR=2.425, 95% CI 1.216-4.835, P=0.012) and 2-year PFS ( HR=1.881, 95% CI 1.085-3.260, P=0.024) in MM patients. Conclusions:The expression of CD27 in T lymphocytes is correlated with the prognosis, treatment response and progression-free survival of MM. The ratio of CD27-/CD27+T lymphocytes is an independent prognostic indicator.
