Chemokines are major regulators of cell transformation and adhesion.Recent study has demonstrated that CXCR7 can bind to CXCL11 and CXCL12 with high affinity,and the activated CXCR7 may influence tumor invasion and metastasis by regulating extracellular matrix (ECM) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and other signal transduction pathways.Therefore,in-depth study of the molecular mechanisms of CXCR7 in tumor invasion and metastasis may provide a more effective theoretical basis for tumor treatment.

Thirty nine compounds in the volatile oils of the flowerbuds of Panax quinquefolium L.cultivated in China were isolated and identified with gas chromatography/mass spectre metry. To our great surprise,β-famensene,a sesquiterpene compound of them,alone account for 48.67% of the total volatile oils contents. This experimental result was contrasted with the volatile oils components of the different parts of Panax quinquefolium L.and Panax ginseng,anidentical genus plant,on chemical components and relative quantities.It was discovered that the only one common component is β-famensene in them and it is the highest value in determined relative contents. Above result provides scientific basis for biological synthesis of triterpenoid saponins.

Aim To investigate the change in neuropeptide Y(NPY) Y1 receptor level in infarcted myocardium tissues of (MI) rats. 　Method MI was induced by ligating the left descending anterior coronary artery (LAD) in the heart of rats. The techniques of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to identify the exist of NPY Y1 receptor mRNA in myocardial tissues. The technique of semi-quantitative PCR wa s used to observe the change of NPY Y1 receptor mRNA level. 　Results NPY Y1 receptor mRNA distributed in the heart tissues of rat. Compared with sham operated rats ,the NPY Y1 receptor mRNA level both in infarction area and non-infarction area was increased significantly after MI fo r 1d and 3d. The NPY Y1 receptor mRNA level in the heart tissues of sham-op erated rats was also significantly increased compared with that in control rats . 　Conclusion These results suggest that MI may result in increase NPY Y1 receptor level in the heart tissues of rats. Stre ss stimulation such as surgery may also increase the NPY Y1 receptor level in the heart.

Betatrophin is a newly found factor that affects the metabolisms of sugar and fat , which is mainly ex-pressed in the liver and adipose tissue .This factor not only has an influence on the glucolipid metabolism , but also has regulating effect on replicating pancreatic βcell.Glucose and lipid metabolic disorder and the decrease in the number of pancreatic βcell are main risk factors of diabetes , diabetic great vascular complications and other com-plications.Therefore, betatrophin level has close relationship with diabetes .

Objective:To explore the methods and effect of applying specialized training and multimedia education in key infection-related departments of a hospital to intervene standard precautions for clinical practice interns.Methods:Based on the cases of nosocomial infection at home and abroad, the Science and Education Section and Infection Management Section designed and produced videos about standard precautions and occupational protection. The content of these videos covered two fields including knowledge training and skill training, with emphasis on enhancing awareness of profession risks and skills of hospital infection control and occupational protection of 196 medical students through specialized training in key infection-related departments. The training effect of standard precautions education for the two groups of students was evaluated from the theoretical test scores, questionnaire survey on their attitude and compliance to standard precautions, and the incidence of their occupational exposure to needle stab wound. SPSS 18.0 was performed for t test and chi-square test. Results:Apart from the knowledge of the unfavorable factors of implementing standard precautions, there were significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in six aspects: theoretical test scores, hospital infection risk cognition, significance cognition of standard precautions, favorable factors of implementing standard precautions, self-efficacy evaluation and self-evaluation of compliance to standard precautions ( P<0.05). And there was significant difference in the incidence of occupational exposure to needle stab wound between the experiment group and control group (1.02% vs. 7.14%; χ2=4.69, P<0.05). Conclusion:Various teaching interventions of standard precautions during the entire internship period have expanded and deepened the contents of school education, enabling the students to form good occupational risk awareness and coping skills to protect the patients and themselves.

Objective: To explore the relationship between physical exercise and parenting styles, and psychological resilience among college students, in order to provide guidance for improving college students physical exercise status. Methods: From September 10, 2022 to January 6, 2023, 1 227 students from three comprehensive universities in Jinan were selected for investigation using a stratified random sampling and convenient sampling method. Physical exercise was assessed using the Physical Activity Rating Scale, parenting style was evaluated with the short-Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran for Chinese (s-EMBU-C), and psychological resilience was measured by the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA). The influence of parenting style and psychological resilience on physical exercise was explored by Pearson correlation analysis, linear and Logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 815 (66.42%) engaged in lowintensity exercise, 308 (25.10%) in moderateintensity exercise, and 104 (8.48%) in highintensity exercise. The total score on the Physical Activity Rating Scale was (22.15±0.72). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender (OR=1.58, 95%CI=1.07-2.33) and whether the student was a sports specialist (OR=1.61, 95%CI=1.17-2.22) were the related factors for college students physical exercise classification(P<0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that emotional warmth dimensions of the s-EMBU-C (mother version and father version), the total score of s-EMBU-C(mother version), positive cognition, emotional control and the total score of RSCA all affected the physical activity level of college students (β=0.29, 0.20, 0.26, 0.32, 0.15, 0.20, P<0.05). Conclusions College students physical exercise behavior is closely related to gender, sports specialization, parenting styles, and psychological resilience. Colleges and universities can promote changes in physical exercise behavior among college students through joint parental supervision and psychological counseling.

ObjectiveTo establish a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) method for detecting hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA). MethodsHBV cccDNA standard substance was constructed, and HBV cccDNA primers and probes were designed based on the structural differences between HBV cccDNA and relaxed circular DNA (rcDNA). HBV plasmid was amplified to obtain HBV cccDNA standard substance, and a ddPCR detection method was established with the standard substance after gradient dilution as the template for HBV cccDNA detection; the limit of detection and repeatability of this method were analyzed. Liver tissue samples were collected from 20 patients who attended Beijing YouAn Hospital, Capital Medical University, from June 2017 to October 2020, all of whom were diagnosed with HBV infection, and DNA of the samples was extracted and digested with plasmid-safe ATP-dependent DNA enzyme to obtain HBV cccDNA template; the ddPCR detection method was evaluated in clinical samples and was compared with the quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) detection method. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. ResultsThe HBV cccDNA detection method based on ddPCR was established, which accurately detected HBV cccDNA in standard substance after gradient dilution, with a limit of detection of 1 copy/μl, and the coefficients of variation of 1×103, 1×102, and 1×101 copies/μl standard substances were 441%, 3.98%, and 5.09%, respectively. HBV cccDNA was detected in the samples of 20 patients with HBV infection; the ddPCR detection method detected HBV cccDNA in 17 patients, with a positive rate of 85%, while the qPCR detection method detected HBV cccDNA in 11 patients, with a positive rate of 55%, and there was a significant difference between the two methods (χ2=4.286, P=0038). ConclusionThe established ddPCR method for detecting HBV cccDNA has a low limit of detection and good repeatability, which provides an effective tool for further clinical detection.
