Objective: To screen out DNA binding proteins specifically recognizing CpG immunostimulatory sequence (ISS) for further investigating the molecular mechanisms of ISS. Methods: Yeast one hybrid system was adapted in screening a human bone marrow cDNA library using 4 copies of ISS as bait. The ISS binding activity of the positive clone was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results: Four dual positive colonies were obtained, two of them encoded proteins with unknown functions. The other 2 encoded light chains of immunoglobulin with amino sequences homology to anti DNA Ab and HBsAb respectively. EMSA showed HBsAb specifically bound to CpG ODN at pH6.4 and pH 5.8. Conclusion: HBsAb may have ISS specific DNA binding activity.

Objective To investigate the cytotoxic effects of IL-2 combined with different dosages of sorafenib on renal cellular carcinoma cell line 786-0. Methods Renal carcinoma cell 786-0 was cultured. Then , IL-2 (20 μmol/L) combined with different dosages of sorafenib (6.9, 13.8, 20.8 μmol/L) were used to treat tumor cell 786-0. The inhibitory effect on cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was measured by Annexin V-FITC kit. The tumor-bearing mice models were established and divided into four groups. Results The tumor cell growth was inhibited with the time-course correlation in all groups. In the 48-hour high doses group, the inhibitory rate was up to (74.67±1.87) %. The rates of cell proliferation inhibition and cell apoptosis were higher in the high dosages group than those in the other groups. Conclusions Immunotherapy combined with target therapy could significantly inhibit the growth of renal cellular carcinoma. But we should find a proper dosage, which could improve the clinical effect and reduce the adverse effect.

Objective:
To explore the relationship between parent child relationship and rebelliousness of junior middle school students in boarding schools and to provide a scientific basis for preventing the occurrence of youth rebellion.
Methods:
A cluster sampling method was used to investigate parent child separation, family intimacy, and rebellion among 1 790 junior high school students in one boarding middle school in Lujiang County, Hefei City, Anhui Province in January 2020, and the influence of parent child relationship on students rebelliousness was analyzed by Chi square test and binary Logistic regression.
Results:
The detection rate of rebelliousness among participants was 21.45%(384/ 1 790 ). Junior middle school students who were in senior grade (second and third grades), reported higher household economic status and no communication with parents during the past month were more likely to have rebelliousness( OR=1.83, 1.89, 1.80, 1.77 , P <0.05); Junior middle school students with higher parental warmth and intimacy were less likely to have rebelliousness( OR=0.52, 0.71, P <0.05); Gender, length of boarding, maternal education, frequency of meeting parents during boarding, and childhood experience of separation with parents showed no statistical significance on rebelliousness( P >0.05).
Conclusion
The detection rate of rebellious psychology among junior high school students in boarding schools is high, and good parent child relationship is the protective factor of rebellious psychology. Parents should pay attention to contact with their boarding children and strengthen communication to reduce rebelliousness among them.

Objective:To investigate the expression of cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs) marker proteins in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) using immunohistochemistry and explore their correlation with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 90 PTC patients at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from December 2019 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Surgical pathological cancer tissue samples were selected for immunohistochemical staining, and control group tissues were obtained from normal thyroid tissue adjacent to the tumor lesion. Four CAFs marker proteins, including fibroblast-activated protein(FAP), α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA), Vimentin, and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α(PDGFR-α), were stained and scored, followed by statistical analysis.Results:The immunoreactivity score of the CAFs marker proteins were correlated with extrathyroid invasion, lymph node metastasis, and multi-focality of PTC. FAP and α-SMA demonstrated better performance in this regard. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve analysis showed that high immunoreactivity scores of FAP and α-SMA were risk factors for poor clinical pathological features, with good predictive sensitivity and accuracy.Conclusion:Strong expression of CAFs was the risk factor for extrathyroid invasion, lymph node metastasis, and mutli-focality of PTC. FAP has the highest clinical value compared with other CAFs marker proteins.
