Proteome research has become a new hot spot in the post-genome era. High-resolution two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), which provides the most comprehensive analysis system of the whole proteome, was highly improved in recent years. With the development of computer techniques, the powerful and user-friendly image analysis systems appeared to help high-throughput, large-scale proteomic studies. Using new generation two-dimensional image analysis software, ImageMaster 2D Elite, the 2D gels of proteins extracted from cultured Schwann’s cells were processed. The analysis procedure, including image acquirement, spot detection, match, background subtraction, pI/Mr calibration, analysis results report and database query, were reported and discussed.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to determine the effect of fluoride concentration on the corrosion behavior of cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes in a simulated oral environment.

METHODSA total of 15 specimens were employed with selective laser melting (SLM) and another 15 for traditional casting (Cast) in cobalt-chromium alloy powders and blocks with the same material composition. The corrosion behavior of the specimens was studied by potentiodynamic polarization test under different oral environments with varying solubilities of fluorine (0, 0.05%, and 0.20% for each) in acid artificial saliva (pH = 5.0). The specimens were soaked in fluorine for 24 h, and the surface microstructure was observed under a field emission scanning electron microscope after immersing the specimens in the test solution at constant temperature.

RESULTSThe corrosion potential (Ecorr) value of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast decreased with increasing fluoride concentration in acidic artificial saliva. The Ecorr, Icorr, and Rp values of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes changed significantly when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P < 0.05). The Ecorr, Icorr, and Rp values of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes exhibited a statistically significant difference. The Icorr value of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast was higher than that in the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P < 0.05). The Ecorr, tRp alues of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast were lower htan those of the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20% (P< 0 .05).

CONCLUSIONFluoride ions adversely affected the corrosion resistance of the cobalt-chromium alloy fabricated by two different technology processes. The corrosion resistance of the cobalt-chromium alloy cast was worse than that of the SLM group cobalt-chromium alloy when the fluoride concentration was 0.20%.

Objective:This study aimed to explore the effects ofnesfatin-1 on gastric distension (GD)-sensitive neurons in the basomedial amygdala (BMA) and the potential mechanism for nesfatin-1 to regulate gastric motility through the arcuate nucleus (Arc).Methods:The projection of nerve fiber and expression of nesfatin-1 were observed by retrograde tracing and fluo-immunohistochemistry staining;The nuclei microinjection and nuclei electrical stimulation,extracellular discharges of single unit neuron were used to observe the effects ofnesfatin-1 on the GD neurons;Gastric motility recording in vivo were used to monitor the effects ofnesfatin-1 on the amplitude of constriction and frequency of gastric motility in conscious rats.Results:NUCB2/Nesfatin-1/fluorogold-double labeled neurons were from ARC to BMA;Nesfatin-1 could excited the firing rate of most of the GD-E neurons (4.25± 1.02 Hz vs.5.32± 1.17 Hz,P＜0.01) and decreased the firing rate of most of the GD-I neurons (3.73± 0.92 Hz vs.2.64± 0.86 Hz,P＜0.01),inhibited the gastric motility,amplitude and frequency,SHU9119 could weaken the responses induced by nesfaton-1;Electrical stimulation of the Arc,the firing rate of nesfatin-1-induced GD-response neurons (GD-E:5.14± 1.32 Hz vs.6.75± 1.84 Hz,P＜0.05;GD-I:2.84± 0.86 Hz vs.4.05± 1.12 Hz,P ＜0.05) and the gastric amplitude and frequency were increase.Conclusion:It was suggested that nesfatin-1 in the BMA plays an important role in decreasing gastric motility and the Arc may be involved in this regulation process.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trimebutine combined with mosapride on functional dyspepsia. Methods Patients with functional dyspepsia were randomly divided into three clinical groups. Group A (n=116) received 0.2 g trimebutine after meal,group the drug combination B (n=116) received 5 mg mosapride before meal,and the drug combination group (n=115) received 0. 2 g trimebutine after meal plus 5 mg mosapride before meal. All medications were taken orally three times daily for 4 weeks. Improvement in clinical symptoms and adverse reactions in each group were evaluated at the end of study. Results A total of 339 patients among 347 enrollees completed the treatment and follow-up. The clinical efficacy on postprandial fullness, early satiation, epigastric pain, epigastric burning, upper abdominal bloating and nausea were 88. 4%,76. 9%,72. 9%,61. 8%,86. 7% and 81. 7%,respectively in the drug combination group after 4-week treatment,which were superior to those in group A or B (P<0. 05) except for epigastric burning. The total effective rate of the drug combination group was 78. 8%,significantly higher than the other two groups (P<0. 05). The total incidence of side effects in the drug combination group was 1. 8%,similar to that of group A and B (1. 8% and 0. 9%,respectively, P =0. 776). Conclusion Trimebutine combined with mosapride is safe and effective for improving symptoms in functional dyspepsia.

Objective To investigate the effects of quetiapine on serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factors ( BDNF) and the correlation between BDNF and psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function in patients with first-episode schizophrenia. Methods Eighty patients with first-episode schizophrenia ( treatment group) were treated with quetiapine orally for 4 weeks,at initial dose of 100 mg·d-1 and average dose of (580±120) mg·d-1 . The psychiatric symptoms were evaluated by using the positive and negative syndrome scale ( PANSS) . The cognitive function was assessed by using Wisconsin cards sort test ( WCST) . The serum BDNF level was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) . Results The serum level of BDNF was markedly lower in schizophrenic patients before[(13. 72±8. 79) ng·mL-1,P<0. 01] and after treatment[(18. 02±9.06) ng·mL-1,P<0.05]in comparison with normal controls(23. 67±10. 13) ng·mL-1]. After treatment,the PANSS total scores and subscale scores decreased,WCST number of categories and the number of correct answers increased,and the number of wrong answers reduced. There was a positive correlation between the serum BDNF and negative symptoms ( SANS) ( r= 0. 54, P=0. 032),and the number of correct answers. Conclusion The quetiapine significantly increases serum level of BDNF in schizophrenia patients,which correlates positively with improvements in symptoms and cognitive function.

Objective To investigate the clinical application on Wechat for health education in discharged patients with PICC catheter.Methods Totals of 120 discharged patients with PICC catheter were selected from January to December in 2013,they were divided into the Wechat group (68 cases) and control group (52 cases) by random numerical table method.Before discharging from hospital,both groups received health education of PICC catheter and self-nursing instruction.The control group was given the telephone visits regularly and outpatient PICC consultation in hospital.Besides,the Wechat group was aggregated in a group,in which the self-nursing education and maintenance knowledge of PICC catheter were provided,and the questions from patients were answered timely as well.The awareness of self-nursing of PICC catheter and rate of patients' satisfaction for health education were compared between the two groups.Results The awareness self-nursing of patients in the Wechat group was 95％,while the control group was 77％.There was significant difference between the two groups (x2 =11.73,P ＜ 0.01).The rate of patients' satisfaction in the Wechat group was 97％,while the control group was 75％.There was significant difference between the two groups(x2 =8.23,P＜0.01).Conclusions Setting up a Wechat group can increase self-nursing education of the discharged patients with PICC catheter as well as the rate of patients' satisfaction.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and track probable imported sources of the local dengue outbreak in Zhangzhou city, Fujian province, 2019.Methods:Serum samples of patients with suspected dengue fever at acute phases were collected for virus detecting and serotyping by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. For the positive specimens of local cases, full-length fragments of E gene were amplified by RT-PCR, and were sequenced and analyzed.Result:In 2019, there were 98 local cases of dengue fever in Zhangzhou city, which were concentrated in Zhao’an county, Longhai district and Yunxiao county. In this study, fourteen dengue virus E gene sequences representing different sources in different districts and counties were selected. The amino acid sequence virulence site analysis showed that the local epidemic strains were relatively virulent strains. The gene sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis showed that all the local strains were classified as DENV-I subgenotype genotype I, divided into a, b and c three different branches. The evolutionary branch a contained all Zhao’an and Longhai sequences and was divided into three sub-branches, the b and c evolutionary branches were both the sequences of Yunxiao. There was a high correlation between the Shenqiao Town in Zhao’an and the Haicheng Town in Longhai. The other areas of the strains were limited to the towns, and the evolutionary branches were close to the other areas in China and countries in Southeast Asia.Conclusions:The indigenous dengue outbreaks in Zhangzhou, 2019 were caused by multiple sources of introduction and originated from other areas in China or from Southeast Asian countries and there was also the possibility of local cross-county transmission.

Objective:To investigate the current status of emotional labor of nurses in standardized training period, and to analyze the relationship between emotional labor and emotional intelligence.Methods:From May to June 2020, 312 nurses in the standardized training period were selected as the research objects, which were investigated with general information questionnaire, Emotional Labor Scale and Emotional Intelligence Scale.Results:The total score of standardized training nurses' emotional labor was (52.27±10.18) points, and the total average score of items was (3.73±0.73) points. The average scores of the three dimensions from high to low: deep acting (4.62±0.86) points, expression of genuine emotion (3.62±0.99) points and surface acting (3.42±0.95) points. There was a correlation between emotional intelligence and emotional labor. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the emotional evaluation of others ( β value was -0.189, P<0.05) ( β value was -0.255, P<0.01). Self emotional assessment ( β value was 0.297, P<0.01) ( β value was 0.177, P<0.05). Self emotional assessment ( β value was 0.269, P<0.05), which had a positive predictive effect on emotional expression requirements. Conclusions:The emotional labor of nurses in standardized training period is at the medium level, and the deep acting score is the highest between three dimensions. Hospital managers could promote nurses to use appropriate emotional labor strategies by strengthening the cultivation of emotional intelligence during standardized training period.
