Objective To study the rule of gene expression profiles of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), and to find new sensitive molecules which express specifically in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) of CML patients, in order to further elucidate the potential molecular biological mechanisms leading to CML. Methods The expression of mRNA from PBMC of CML patients was compared with that of normal controls using a cDNA microarray. The bioinformatics analysis was used for every up- or down-regulated gene in CML. The new gene with unknown function and no homology to known genes in the database was confirmed, and electric polymerase chain reaction was conducted for the cloning of its full-length DNA in conjunction with Kozak rule and the exit of polyadenyl signal sequence. Sequence specific primers were designed to amplify the new gene from the mRNA of CML PBMC with the reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Results Many genes commonly up- or down-regulated in CML cells were identified. Of these, we found a novel gene with unknown function with high expression in the patients cells. Its nucleotide sequence and corresponding protein-encoding amino acid had been determined, which contained 1 872nt and 624aa respectively. We named the new gene as human chronic myelogenous leukemia associated protein gene (CMLAP), and logged the sequence of the CMLAP gene into the GenBank with the accession number AY762229. Conclusion CMLAP gene expressed highly in CML PBMC was cloned and identified successfully by combining DNA chip technology and bioinformational technology. The gene was likely to play an important role in the disease and might serve as a molecular marker for CML. The findings will pave the way for the further study of the molecular mechanism of CML.

Objective To investigate the psychological status of clinical nurses in a class A hospital facing the novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP), in order to provide effective psychological and social intervention. Methods A total of 867 clinical nurses were randomly selected from the Mianyang Central Hospital. The general information questionnaire, standard self-assessment anxiety scale (SAS) and crisis intervention classification assessment scale (TAF) were used to conduct self-assessment questionnaire survey. Then the data were analyzed by the SPSS22.0 software. Results 38.8% of the nurses had a low risk of infection, 18.0% of them had a medium risk, 29.6% had a medium high risk, and 13.6% had a high risk. The SAS scores of clinical nurses in this hospital were statistically significant different, compared with the Chinese norm value ( P <0.05). The difference between TAF score and the degree of crisis response of nursing students in SARS period was statistically significant ( P <0.05). The majority of clinical nurses had less crisis response to NCP, with 80.7% of them suffered mild cognitive, emotional and behavioral damage, and only 2.0% suffered severe damage. Analysis of related factors showed that department, self-test risk of infection, length of service had significant influence on SAS and TAF scores of clinical nurses ( P <0.05). Conclusion During the period of NCP prevalence, no obvious anxiety and crisis reaction among clinical nurses is found in the third grade hospital. However, the psychological changes of clinical nurses with middle-age, from key epidemic prevention departments and in high risk of self-test infection are more likely to produce anxiety and crisis reaction. Therefore, appropriate and timely psychological intervention should be given.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of knowledge， attitude and practice of nurses in mental health hospitals on the prevention and control of nosocomial infections， and to analyze the influencing factors. MethodsFrom June to August 2020， 402 clinical nurses from 8 mental health hospitals in a city were enrolled using simple random sampling method， and were assessed using a self-compiled knowledge-attitude-practice questionnaire related to the nosocomial infection prevention and control， thereafter， the influencing factors were screened. ResultsThe scores of knowledge， attitude and practice dimensions in relation to the nosocomial infection prevention and control among the nurses were （8.43±1.84）， （76.01±5.70） and （57.42±3.75）， respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the knowledge dimension score demonstrated significant difference among nurses of different types of hospital， grades of hospital， professional titles， education levels， and emphasis degrees of hospital and individual on nosocomial infection （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The attitude dimension scores yielded significant difference among nurses of different types of hospital， position， grades of hospital， and emphasis degrees of hospital and individual on nosocomial infection （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The practice dimension scores manifested significant difference among nurses of different types of hospital， grades of hospital， professional titles， emphasis degrees of hospital and individual on nosocomial infection， and training frequency （P<0.05 or 0.01）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that professional titles and individual emphasis on nosocomial infection entered the regression model of nurses' knowledge dimension of nosocomial infection prevention and control （P<0.05 or 0.01）. Individual emphasis on nosocomial infection， hospital types and position entered the regression model of attitude dimension （P<0.05 or 0.01）. Individual emphasis on nosocomial infection， hospital types， professional titles， and hospital emphasis on nosocomial infection entered the regression model of practice dimension （P<0.05 or 0.01）. ConclusionNurses in mental health hospital have a positive attitude towards nosocomial infection prevention and control， but their knowledge base needs to be strengthened.

Objective To identify and analyze the expression of microRNA miR-181a in HepG2.2.15 cell line transfected by full-length hepatitis B virus genome,and explore the potential role of miR-181a engaged in the development of HBV-related liver disease.Methods Based on the previous data from microRNA microarray,miR-181a specific probe was designed and synthesized.The expressive levels of miR-181a in HepG2.2.15 and its parent cell line HepG2 were analyzed using Northern blot analysis.Some putative targets of miR-181a were predicted by computational software RNAhybrid and confirmed by mRNA microarray.One of the targets was selected and flow cytometry analysis was used to further determine the difference of intracellular HLA-A2 level between the two cell lines.Results Northern blot analysis showed that the expressive level of miR-181a in HepG2.2.15 cell was significantly up-regulated compared with that in HepG2 cell.Some putative targets of miR-181a including C8A,IDH1 and HLA-A were predicted and miR-181a might down-regulate the expression of HLA-A gene via partial complement to the 3'-UTR of HLA-A gene.Consistency with the result of mRNA profile microarray,FCM analysis also showed a significantly lower expression of HLA-A2(43.9%)in HepG2.2.15 cell than that in HepG2 cell(96.6%).Conclusion The expressive level of miR-181a in HepG2.2.15 cell is significantly up-regulated and miR-181a might down-regulate its target gene HLA-A,which might be one of the molecular mechanisms that HBV may escape from the immune response and continue replication in hepatocytes.The knowledge is also helpful for understanding the mechanism of HBV-host microRNA interaction.

Objective To approach the relationship between the membrane protein of platelet microparticles and myocardial infarction or hypertension. Methods The contents were examined of PAC-1~ + PMP and CD62P~+ PMP by activating platelet with 20?mol/L ADP in the blood collected from the patients with myocardial infarction (n=12) and hypertension (n=10). Results The contents of PAC-1~ + PMP and CD62P~+ PMP in myocardial infarction group (85.1%?3.7%, 85.9%?3.8%) were significantly higher than normal group (75.5%?4.4%, 76.3% 5.3%) (P

Objective To morphologically evaluate the bone marrow (BM) smear specimens collected from the patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) in accelerated phase and blastic phase receiving a short term Gleevec therapy, and to determine its clinical significance in evaluating the changes in disease condition to guide the treatment. Methods Sequential BM smear specimens of 16 Ph positive CML patients, including 9 in accelerated-phase and 7 in blastic-phase, were examined before and 3,6 and 9 weeks after Gleevec treatment (0.4/d or 0.6g/d, PO) with routine method. Periodic acid-Schiff reagent (PAS) staining was performed for a proper identification of abnormal erythroid precursor cells. Results The treatment rapidly caused following conspicuous BM changes in the process: both cellular proliferation and neutrophil granulopoiesis decreased significantly, while the accumulation of erythroid precursor cells increased obviously, and megakaryocytes decreased markedly at 3rd week. A few patients showed no such changes, but an accumulations of erythroid precursor cells, leading to misdiagnosis in some one third of the patients. In 21 percent of patients, in whom no erythroid cells were found, were classified into accelerated phase and blast phase based on both WHO classification system and FAB system. In fact the increase in red system was a bone marrow response to anemia caused by Gleevec therapy. If a condition of severe cellular proliferation of BM with a lower WBC and platelets appeared, most patients could not tolerate the therapy, then it should be ceased. Conclusion Initial treatment with Gleevec therapy exerts pronounced changes in BM morphology, which can be used as a simple and effective method to evaluate the outcome of the patients.

Objective To establish a flow cytometric method for assay of platelet aggregation induced by shear stress(SIPA) and investigate its clinical value. Methods After the whole blood was subjected to a certain shear stress by a rotational viscometer, the platelets were activated and aggregated. Then the fluorescence antibody CD61 PerCP was added to stain the platelets. The free platelets and aggregates were counted respectively by flow cytometry, thereby the ratio of platelet aggregation was calculated. Results Shear stress-induced whole blood platelet aggregation varied with the increase of shear stress and time of stress. Only a small amount of platelet aggregation was detected at relatively low shear stress of 100S -1, and it was increased at 500S -1. However, a significant increase occurred with 2 000S -1. It approached to the maximum value (58.4%?5.3%) at 3 000S -1 with exposure of 3min, which was higher than the values at 100S -1(9.4%?1.3%)and 500S -1(26.4%?3.2%). At the same time, the aggregates increased in size and became more compact with increase in the shear stress and prolongation of time. High shear stress induced platelet aggregation(H-SIPA) was significantly enhanced in patients with AMI, cerebral infarction, TIA or diabetes, all of them were susceptible to coagulopathy, compared with normal control. Conclusion The results indicated that shear stress could induce platelet aggregation directly, and the degree of SIPA had positive correlation with the stress stength and exposure time.The measurement of H-SIPA was of some clinical value in the diagnosis of arterial thrombosis.

AIM: To investigate the relationship between the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6)and IL-2 in aqueous humor and the severity of optic nerve injury in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG), and to construct a decision tree model for the severity of optic nerve injury in POAG patients.METHODS: A prospective study was conducted on 107 patients(107 eyes)with POAG who were admitted to the hospital from May 2021 to October 2023. According to the mean defect(MD)value, the degree of optic nerve injury was judged and divided into three groups: mild, moderate and severe. The general data, IL-6 and IL-2 levels in aqueous humor of patients with different severity of optic nerve injury were compared, and the correlation between the levels of IL-6 and IL-2 in aqueous humor and the severity of optic nerve injury in POAG patients was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to test the influencing factors of the severity of optic nerve injury in POAG patients, and the decision tree model was constructed based on influencing factors.RESULTS: The proportion of patients with hypertension, intraocular pressure and binocular intraocular pressure difference in the severe group was higher than that in the mild and moderate groups, and the levels of IL-6 and IL-2 in the aqueous humor were significantly lower than those in the mild and moderate groups(all P<0.05). The levels of IL-6 and IL-2 in aqueous humor of POAG patients were negatively correlated with the severity of optic nerve injury(r=-0.361, -0.358, all P<0.001). Hypertension, intraocular pressure, binocular intraocular pressure difference, IL-6 and IL-2 levels in aqueous humor were independent factors affecting the degree of optic nerve injury in POAG patients(all P<0.05). Based on the above factors, a decision tree model was constructed, and three explanatory variables of IL-6, IL-2 levels in aqueous humor and hypertension were screened out. Among them, IL-2 level in aqueous humor was the most important root node variable and the most important predictor. The AUC of the decision tree model was 0.710(95% CI: 0.599-0.820, P=0.001), the sensitivity was 0.581, the specificity was 0.737, and the Youden index was 0.318, with a high predictive value.CONCLUSION: The levels of IL-6 and IL-2 in aqueous humor were significantly correlated with the severity of optic nerve injury in POAG patients. The decision tree model based on hypertension, intraocular pressure, binocular intraocular pressure difference, IL-6 and IL-2 levels in aqueous humor has a high evaluation value for the severity of optic nerve injury in POAG patients.
