AIM: To screen the proteins interacting with human augmenter of liver regeneration (hALR) by yeast two-hybrid system and to study the mechanism of hALR action. METHODS: hALR bait plasmid was constructed by ligating the gene of hALR into pGBKT7, then transformed into yeast AH109. The yeast strain AH109 containing pGBKT7-hALR was mated with yeast Y187 containing human liver cDNA library plasmid. Diploid yeast was plated on SD/-trp-leu-his-ade (QDO) for screening and on QDO containing X-?-gal for further selection.The AD/library inserts were amplified by PCR and the PCR products were characterized by digesting with Sau3AⅠ and HaeⅢ restriction enzyme to eliminate the duplicates. After sequencing, the positive clones were analysed by bioinformatics. RESULTS: Several positive clones were obtaind. The sequencing and analysis shown that one of them is 669 bp DNA fragment encoding ? subunit of Na +,K +-ATPase. The 224 bp 3′terminal DNA fragment is non-encoder region, and the 445 bp 5′terminal DNA encodes C-terminal 147 amino acid residues of Na +, K +-ATPase ? subunit. CONCLUSION: The results of screening proteins using yeast two-hybrid system showed that hALR could interact directly with Na +, K +-ATPase in the yeast cell.

OBJECTIVE: To study the predictive value of transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) derived from diastolic phase of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) for identifying systolic compression of myocardial bridge (MB). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Consecutive patients diagnosed with MB based on CCTA findings and without obstructive coronary artery disease were retrospectively enrolled. In total, 143 patients with 144 MBs were included in the study. Patients were classified into three groups: without systolic compression, with systolic compression < 50%, and with systolic compression ≥ 50%. TAG was defined as the linear regression coefficient between intraluminal attenuation in Hounsfield units (HU) and length from the vessel ostium. Other indices such as the length and depth of the MB were also recorded. RESULTS: TAG was the lowest in MB patients with systolic compression ≥ 50% (−19.9 ± 8.7 HU/10 mm). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to determine the optimal cutoff values for identifying systolic compression ≥ 50%. The result indicated an optimal cutoff value of TAG as −18.8 HU/10 mm (area under curve = 0.778, p < 0.001), which yielded higher sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy (54.1, 80.5, 72.8, and 75.0%, respectively). In addition, the TAG of MB with diastolic compression was significantly lower than the TAG of MB without diastolic compression (−21.4 ± 4.8 HU/10 mm vs. −12.7 ± 8 HU/10 mm, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: TAG was a better predictor of MB with systolic compression ≥ 50%, compared to the length or depth of the MB. The TAG of MB with persistent diastolic compression was significantly lower than the TAG without diastolic compression.

Objective:To introduce how to quickly set up a doctor team to achieve efficient treatment of batchs COVID-19 patients in Changchun GongTi shelter hospital.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to analyze the basic situation of the doctors who supported the Changchun Gongti shelter hospital. The workload is the total number of patients from April 3 to 28, 2022. At the beginning of the task, the first week and the third week of the task, the five point scoring method was used to reflect the doctor's physical and mental state, stress state and rescue achievement. The time phased scheduling and disease grading management were fully implemented after 10 days of operation in the shelter. The doctors' ward round efficiency and self scoring changes before and after the implementation of the plan were compared, and the rescue results were summarized.Results:Total of 56 doctors (the Sichuan medical assistance team to Changchun), who undertook the work of Changchun Gongti shelter Hospital, came from 12 professional departments of 14 hospitals. By internal and external linkage-time phased scheduling and information-based patient zoning and grading management, the admission time of batch patients was shortened from (14.64±10.09) min to (6.80±5.10) min per person( P<0.05), the number of patients that each doctor can view per hour ranges from (28.50±12.26) to (68.43±19.95) ( P<0.01). A total of 1 293 patients were treated. There were no deaths, no accidents and no mild illness to severe illness in shelter hospital. 35 doctors completed a continuous survey. Before and after the implementation of those measures, the average physical state scores and the psychological state scores of doctors improved ( P=0.03), the self-score of stress feeling decreased ( P<0.01), and the self-score of professional achievement increased ( P<0.01). Conclusions:To adapt to the characteristics of emergency treatment for batch COVID-19 patients, the internal and external linkage-time phased scheduling and information-based patient zoning and grading management could help the temporarily convened doctors deal with a large number of patients efficiently, reduce work stress and exposure risk in shelter hospital.

Objective To understand the situation and the influencing factors of life quality in diabetic patients in Shanghai, and to develop effective intervention measures. Methods A total of 212 diabetic patients in Baoshan District, Shanghai were selected as the research objects. Diabetes specific quality of life scale (DSQL) was used to investigate the basic situation and quality of life of patients. Combined with biochemical detection indexes and questionnaire survey, data were analyzed by variance analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. Blood glucose level was assessed according to the 1999 WHO diagnostic criteria for type 2 diabetes. Results The overall quality of life score in the patients was 4.31±7.82, which was higher than the domestic norm. The best quality of life was in the dimension of physiological function with the score of 1.84±6.00, which was lower than the domestic norm. The next was the dimension of social relationship, and the worst was the dimension of treatment. The single factor analysis and multivariate analysis identified the following influence factors of quality of life in the patients: family history, educational level, exercise habit, blood glucose control and diet control. There was a negative correlation with educational level and blood glucose control, and a positive correlation with diet control. Conclusion The quality of life in the middle-aged diabetic patients was affected by the education level, blood glucose control and diet control. We suggest to strengthen the community management, health education, and improve the living habits.
