Objective To explore the effect of BPDE on the expression of N-Ras in the human bronchial epithelial cell line. Methods The levels of mRNA and protein expression in BPDE transformed 16HBE cells(16HBE-T) and untransformed control 16HBE cells(16HBE-N) were examined by using RT-PCR and Western blot. Locations and expression levels of protein in both kinds of cells were analyzed by immunocytochemical method. Results Compared with 16HBE-N, the levels of mRNA and protein of N-Ras significantly increased to 3.616 and 1.600 times in 16HBE-T. Immunocytochemical method showed N-Ras protein in 16HBE-T and 16HBE-N expressed in the cytomembrane and cytoplasm, but the expression level of protein in 16HBE-T was significantly higher than that in 16HBE-N. Conclusion The up-regulated expression of N-Ras oncogene may play an important role in the malignant transformation of 16HBE induced by BPDE

Objective: To investigate the awareness, sexual behavior characteristics and infection status of AIDS among male floating population in Anhui Province, so as to provide insights into formulating prevention and control measures for male floating population. Methods: Male floating population of three occupations including construction workers, enterprise workers, and business operators in Wuhu, Tongling, Hefei, and Fuyang cities were selected using stratified cluster random method from April to August 2021. Demographic information, knowledge of AIDS and high-risk behaviors were collected through questionnaires surveys. The results of HIV, syphilis and hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody testing were collected through laboratory tests. Awareness rate of AIDS knowledge, sexual behavior characteristics, and positive rates of HIV, syphilis, and HCV among male floating population of different occupations were analyzed. Results: A total of 1 616 people were enrolled, including 1 016 construction workers (62.87%), 253 enterprise workers (15.66%) and 347 business operators (21.47%), and had a mean age of (40.63±12.32) years. The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among male floating population was 89.54%, the awareness rates of business operators, construction workers, and enterprise workers were 98.33%, 88.29% and 82.61%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportions of consistent condom use during sexual intercourse with a spouse or cohabitant, during commercial sexual encounters, and with casual partners in the past year were 7.15% (91/1 273), 64.00% (16/25) and 50.00% (8/16), respectively. The proportions of construction workers, enterprise workers, and business operators who used condoms every time they had sexual behavior with their spouses/cohabitants in the past year were 4.54%, 11.63%, and 15.60%, respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). One case of HIV, one case of syphilis, and three cases of HCV antibody were detected. Conclusion The overall awareness rate of AIDS knowledge among the male floating population in Anhui Province is relatively high, but unsafe sex behaviors exist, which may lead to the risk of HIV infection.

An introduction to the Basic service module featuring holistic,full flow and seamless connection built by the hospital.Authors described their experiences in achieving homogenous clinical nursing care,and pointed out that integrating medical humanistic care into the daily nursing process,can improve doctor-patient relationship and patients satisfaction,thus raising medical service quality and efficiency.

Objective:To compare the clinical characteristics and prognosis of bacterial liver abscess in patients with or without diabetes mellitus (DM), to provide a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:Patients with bacterial liver abscesses hospitalized in Tongren Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2016 to August 2021 were enrolled, and their clinical data were collected. The patients were divided into diabetic and non-diabetic groups for comparison according to whether they had comorbid DM. Statistical analysis was performed by chi-square test or Fisher′s exact test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results:A total of 131 patients with bacterial liver abscesses were included, including 47 cases in the diabetic group and 84 cases in the non-diabetic group. The percentages of platelet count <100×10 9/L, C-reactive protein>10 mg/L, and total bilirubin>17.5 μmol/L were lower in the diabetic group than that in the non-diabetic group, and the differences were all statistically significant ( χ2=3.90, 6.44 and 5.56, respectively, all P<0.05). The percentage of multiple abscesses in the diabetic group was 10.6%(5/47), which was lower than 29.8%(25/84) in the non-diabetic group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.24, P=0.012). The positive rate of pus culture for Klebsiella pneumoniae was 64.9%(24/37) in the diabetic group, which was higher than 41.5%(27/65) in the non-diabetic group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.13, P=0.023). The incidences of pleural effusion and abscesses at other sites in the diabetic group were 29.8%(14/47) and 10.6%(5/47), respectively, which were both higher than 14.3%(12/84) and 1.2%(1/84) in the non-diabetic group, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.55, Fisher′s exact test, both P<0.05). The proportion of hospital stays>21 d was 34.0%(16/47) in the diabetic group, which was higher than 16.7%(14/84) in the non-diabetic group, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.15, P=0.023). DM (odds ratio ( OR)=2.654, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.020 to 6.907, P=0.046) and abscess maximum diameter>10 cm ( OR=11.045, 95% CI 4.493 to 27.154, P<0.001) were significant risk factors for hospital stay>21 d. Conclusions:Bacterial liver abscesses combined with DM are more common with single abscess, a higher rate of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection, and more likely to develop pleural effusions and abscesses at other sites. Liver abscesses>10 cm in maximum diameter and comorbid DM would prolong hospital stay.

Objective:To understand the current situation of the demand for Internet plus nursing service among nurses at different levels, and analyze the influencing factors, so as to provide reference for the improvement of relevant national policies.Methods:A total of 19 762 in-service nurses from 32 provinces in China were investigated by cross sectional survey in April to May 2019. The demand for Internet plus nursing services was investigated, including 5 dimensions, including institutional demand, safety demand, demand for fees, quality demand and training needs.Results:Among the 19 762 nurses surveyed, there were 135, 4 736, 8 847, 4 827 and 1 217 nurses at N0-N4 levels respectively. The safety needs of nurses ranked first(4.68±0.52). The institutional needs of N3 and N4 nurses were the most significant, and the safety needs of N0-N2 nurses were the most significant; Training demand was the third demand of nursing staff at all levels. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that education and professional title were the factors that affected nurses′ demand for Internet plus nursing service( P<0.01). Conclusions:Nurses at different levels have a high and diversified demand for Internet+ nursing services.
