Objective To investigate the effect of long hairpin RNA ( lhRNA) expression vector targeting HBV X gene ( HBx) on replication of hepatitis B virus ( HBV) and gene expression.Methods Four kinds of small interference RNAs ( siRNAs) were synthesized and lhRNA expression vectors targeting HBx were constructed.Four siRNA oligonucleotides and two lhRNA expression vectors were transfected into HepG2.2.15 cells.HBsAg, HBV DNA in culture supernatants and HBx mRNA in HepG2.2.15 cells were detected by time-resolved immunofluorometric assay, real-time quantitative PCR, and reverse transcription PCR, respectively.Negative sequence group or empty vector group was taken as the control.Independent-samples t test was performed to evaluate the inhibition effect on replication of HBV and gene expression. Results Compared with the negative control, HBsAg, HBV DNA level in culture supernatants and HBx mRNA in HepG2.2.15 cells were significantly decreased after siRNA-1 and siRNA-4 transfected at high concentrations (60 nmol/L or 90 nmol/L) (P<0.05), especially the HBsAg and HBV DNA levels in the siRNA-1 transfection group, which were significantly decreased at 24, 48 and 72 h after transfection ( P<0.05 or P <0.01 ) . Two lhRNA expression vectors ( pMD-HBxlh1 and pMD-HBxlh4 ) were successfully constructed and transfected into HepG2.2.15 cells, HBsAg and HBV DNA level in transfected cells was significantly lower than those in negative control (P<0.05).Conclusion The novel siRNA-1 is confirmed to target HBx gene and lhRNA expression vector targeting HBx can effectively inhibit the replication of HBV and expression of HBV gene.

Objective To evaluate the teaching effects of micro-lecture based on the wechat platform in new nurses'training in operating rooms.Methods Fifteen new nurses in the operating room in July 2014 were selected as observation group,and thirteen new nurses in July 2013 were selected as control group.The multimedia-aided teaching mode was applied in the two groups,while micro-lecture based on the we-chat platform was implemented in the observation group.The theory and operating skills between two groups were evaluated by examination, and a random inquiry about satisfaction with new nurses was directed on surgeon and seniors nurses.Resulsts 100% of the nurses in obser-vation group accepted and preferred wechat in continuing education.The new nurses’performance in theory and skill test in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t =2.901,P =0.011;t =2.225,P =0.029).In addition,the surgeon’s and seniors nurses’satisfaction with new nurses in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (Z =6.425,P =0.011).Conclusion Micro-lecture based on the wechat platform can motivate nurses’learning enthusiasm and positivity,and effectively improve their theoretical knowledge and professional skills.
