Abstract: Objective　The tuberculosis data of students registered and reported in Xuzhou from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed to provide a basis for Xuzhou to formulate tuberculosis prevention and control measures in schools. Method　The epidemiological characteristics of tuberculosis among students in Xuzhou from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed based on the data from Tuberculosis Information Management System and Xuzhou Statistical Yearbook 2021. Results　From 2016 to 2020, a total of 574 student tuberculosis patients were registered in Xuzhou, with an annual average registration rate of 5.64/100 000. The reported incidence of tuberculosis among students in Xuzhou showed an increasing trend year by year (χ2trend=22.521, P<0.001). There were 365 males and 209 females, respectively, with a sex ratio of 1.75:1. The tuberculosis patients were mainly in the 15-19 years old group and 20-24 years old group. According to the statistical analysis by different levels of education, students from ordinary higher institutions accounted for 48.61% of the total number of confirmed cases, followed by senior high schools and secondary vocational schools, accounting for 20.91% and 14.46%, respectively. Preschool education had the lowest number of confirmed cases, accounting for 1.05%. There was significant difference in the reported incidence of tuberculosis among students at different educational levels (χ2=1 522.39, P<0.001). The highest incidence was reported in ordinary higher institutions, followed by senior high schools and secondary vocational schools, and the lowest incidence was reported in preschool education. Conclusion　Xuzhou city school tuberculosis epidemic integral is on the rise, we should further strengthen tuberculosis control work of school tuberculosis prevention and control measures of implementation in the future, at the same time to strengthen school tuberculosis prevention knowledge propaganda and standardize the schools for disposal of tuberculosis epidemic situation. We should also further strengthen the newborn matriculation examination and students absent from class because of illness monitoring work.

Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) are important biocatalysts to synthesize a series of valuable esters and lactones. Based on protein sequence alignment and crystal structure analysis, a nonconserved hinge which linked NADPH domain and FAD domain was speculated to play an important role in substrate recognition and catalytic oxidation process. Cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) was selected as a model. Mutants obtained by homologous replacement of the whole hinge almost completely lost its original catalytic activity, demonstrating that the overall hinge structure was of great importance. Some significant sites were identified to greatly affect the catalytic activity and stereoselectivity by alanine scanning mutagenesis, accompanied by enzyme activity assessments and chiral kinetic resolutions. Altering K153 decreased the activity of the enzyme but enhanced the stereoselectivity. Changing L143 site reduced stereoselectivity but had little effect on enzyme activity. Mutation at L144 site dramatically weakened both activity and stereoselectivity. Subsequently, these corresponding sites in phenylacetone monooxygenase were also illustrated to follow a similar rule, revealing a universal importance of these sites in the BVMO family. These results expanded our understanding of the structure-activity relationship of these enzymes and provided more proofs for future directed evolution of BVMOs.

Stasis is the critical causative factor and pathological production considered in clinic treatment. Promoting the circulation in blood vessel and removing stasis are equally important in treatment. Stasis is interactive with qi and blood. Removing stasis aims to regulating the circulation of qi and blood. Scraping therapy is one of the major approaches to stasis removal in TCM. In clinical practice, the stasis can be removed with scraping, bleeding and cupping, etc. Additionally, removing stasis with scraping should be combined with regulating qi and blood to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Aim To study the mechanism and inhibitory effect of aspirin on U251 cells in vitro.Methods The effects of aspirin on proliferation of U251 cells were assessed using the MTT assay.Cell cycle analysis was done by flow cytometry.AnnexinⅤ-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit was used to detect apoptosis of cells.Western blot was employed to analyze expression of apoptosis-related protein Bcl-2 and Caspase-3.Results The growth inhibiton of U251 cells by aspirin was in a time-and-dose-dependent manner.After treatment with 8 mmol?L-1,cell cycle was arrested at G2/M phase.Aspirin also significantly enhanced apoptosis of U251 cells with down-regulated anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2,and activation of Caspase-3.Conclusions Aspirin can significantly inhibit the growth of U251 cells through inducing cell apoptosis in vitro.

Human promyelocytic leukemia HL - 60 cells labelled with 3H - inositol were treated with vincristine (VCR), it was found that the radioactivity of 3H-phosphatidyl inositol - 4-phosphate (PIP) and 3H - Phosphatidyli-nositol - 4,5 - bisphosphate(PIP2) had no obvious change, but that of 3H-phosphatidyl inositol (PI) decreased rapidly, only accounted for 38. 55%~61.01% of the control during 1~ 120 min of the treatment. It showed that VCRdid not affect the activity of PI kinase and PIP kinase, but enhanced the hydrolysis of PI of HL - 60 cells. The inhibitorty effect of VCR upon cell proliferation and DNA synthesis was observed after above biochemical changes,these results suggest that VCR may inhibit HL-60 cells proliferation by interfering the metabolism of phosphoininositides.
