Objective:To identify differentially expressed proteins related with malignant transformation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) using proteomic analysis. Methods:Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization timE-of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) in combination with protein database searching were used to determine and identify differentially expressed proteins in esophageal cancer cell lines (EC1, EC18, and EC109) and immortal cell line (NECA-E6E7-hTERT). Western blotting and immunocytochemistry were used to verify the differential expression of annexin 2 in esophageal cancer cell lines and immortal cell line (NECA-E6E7-hTERT). Real-time fluorogentic quantitative PCR(RFQ-PCR) was performed to analyze the expression level of annexin A2 mRNA.Results: A total of 15 differentially expressed proteins were identified with more than 5 folds difference. Among them three proteins were down-regulated and 12 proteins were up-regulated. Western blotting and immunocytochemical analysis verified the down-regulation of annexin A2 protein in ESCC cell lines. However, differential expression pattern of annexin A2 mRNA was not consistant with its protein expression in ESCC cell lines and immortal cell line (NECA-E6E7-hTERT). Conclusion:The findings provide important clues for identifying the candidate biomarkers for high-risk population screening and early diagnosis of ESCC. Post-translative regulation/modification contributes to the down-regulation of annexin A2 protein.

The hG -CSF cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR and confirmed by sequencing, which contains the full length of hG-CSF encoding region and parts of 5 '、3' non - coding region. Then the hG - CSF retroviral vector pLGSN was constructed by orientationally inserting the hG-CSF cDNA into the EcoRI/XhoI cloning sites of pLXSN vector. Packaged with CRE and CRIP packaging cell lines which are considered to be unlikely to produce helper viruses, the final pLGSN retrovirion titer reached 1. 1 ?106 CFU/ml. During constitutive passaging, the CRIP - LGSN cell clone produced relatively stable tilers of pLGSN retrovirion, ranging from 6. 8?105CFU/ml to 1. 1?106CFU/ml. By infecting the murine fibroblast cell line NIH3T3 with pLGSN retrovirion, a cell clone designated as NIH3T3 -G -CSF was obstained, secreting 168U/ml G-CSF . The integration and expression of hG-CSF gene in this cell clone were confirmed by Southern and Northern blotting analyses. Western blotting has also detected specifically the hG-CSF protein in the condensed supernalants from NIH3T3-G-CSF cells . After packaging the hG-CSF-secreting fibroblasts with collagen and implanting them into synergenic mice peritoneally , we detected a certain levels of G-CSF in the sera of mice, which suggested the implanted NIH3T3-G-CSF fibroblast cells could constitutively express and release hG-CSF in vivo. Our data showed the constructed hG-CSF retroviral vector could be used to further investigate the fibroblasl-mediated hG-CSF gene therapy .

Objective To establish the background information of physiological parameters for germ?free ( GF ) Taihu piglets. Methods In this study we selected 25 days old GF Taihu piglets and 4 conventional ( CV) littermates, the male and female ratio was 1∶3, to measure the normal clinical values of hematology and serum biochemistry, immunoglobu?lin concentration and main organ coefficients. The analysis of relative growths of main organ weight to body weight was con?ducted in the Taihu GF and CV pigs by allometric scaling model. Results (1) Twelve hematological parameters and 8 blood biochemical parameters in the GF piglets were significantly lower than those in CV pigs (P<0?05). (2) The aver?age body weight, IgM concentration of GF pigs and CV pigs had significant difference ( P <0?05 ) , and no mesenteric lymph nodes were found in the GF pigs. (3) The gut weight had the largest allometric association with body weight in the GF pigs, while spleen weight has the largest allometric association with body weight in the CV pigs. Both the weight of heart and stomach in CV and GF pigs had a negative allometric association with body weight (allometric coefficient b<1), respectively. Conclusions Different microbe control grades affect the body weight, hematology and serum biochemistry, expression of immunoglobulin and development of main organs in laboratory pigs.

OBJECTIVETo determine the structures and contents of the volatile components of flowers of Fritillaria thunbergii, and investigate the effects of operation modes on its volatile components.
METHODThe volatile oils were first obtained by the hydrodistillation assay and then submitted to gas chromatography-time-of flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) analysis.
RESULTMore than 60 peaks were resolved, and 39 of which were identified quantitatively and qualitatively based on high-resolution spectra and compounds library screening. Among these identified components, the octadecatrienoic acid methyl esters were major components in the unprocessed flowers, while some aromatic aldehydes and ketones, such as benzeneacetaldehyde and 1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-ethanone, were prominent components in the flowers both dried in the fluidized bed and in shadow. In addition, the flowers dried in the fluidized bed were more fragrant than other flowers.
CONCLUSIONThe component and contents closely related to their processing mode, and the fluided bed drying may be a best choice to process the flowers of F. thunbergii.

Objective:To explore the research status of artificial intelligence in nursing in China, so as to provide reference for conducting research domestically.Methods:The relevant literature collected from January 1, 2003 to May 1, 2023 was searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, and VIP. CiteSpace and VOS viewer were used to visually analyze the research status, hotspots, and frontiers of artificial intelligence in nursing in China from the aspects of annual publication volume, region, institution, author, high-frequency keywords, and emerging words.Results:A total of 494 articles were included. In terms of publication volume, domestic research showed an overall upward trend, with publishing institutions mostly concentrated in economically developed and medically advanced regions. The authors of the articles often collaborated with research groups, with a co-authorship rate of 81.17% (401/494), but there was relatively little collaboration between groups. Research hotspots were focused on the application of artificial intelligence in geriatric nursing, rehabilitation nursing, Operating Rooms, and drug formulation, with a majority of research related to robots.Conclusions:The research enthusiasm in related fields in China is currently on the rise. Research on artificial intelligence in nursing management, nursing education, and psychological nursing can be strengthened, and the application of artificial intelligence can be enriched. At the same time, research institutions and personnel should strengthen mutual cooperation, and relevant national departments should improve laws and regulations to promote the vigorous development of this research field.

Objective:To analyze the current research status of ideological and political education content in domestic nursing courses and facilitate nursing education reform.Methods:Using purposeful sampling, 25 exemplary cases of ideological and political education in nursing courses from Xinhua Net were selected. NVivo 12 software was employed for content analysis, summarizing the ideological and political elements, carriers of these elements, and types of integration methods in nursing courses.Results:Nursing educators have thoroughly explored ideological and political elements, with the most attention given to professional ethics, though less focus was placed on personality development. A variety of carriers for ideological and political elements were utilized, with practical experience being the most common, but there was a lack of integration with policy and regulations. Various integration methods were applied, with interactive methods being the most frequently used, while practical approaches were less common.Conclusions:Future nursing education should emphasize fostering students' sense of national identity and focus more on personality development. It is important to promote a more balanced use of carriers for ideological and political elements, paying particular attention to policy-related content. The use of information technology in teaching should also be explored to flexibly apply various teaching methods, achieving the subtle integration of ideological and political education within nursing curricula.
