Objective To investigate gene expression of epidermal growth factor (EGF), its receptor (EGFR) and two protooncogenes (c-fos and c-myc), in fetal skin at different development stages and children skin and to delineate their potential biological significance. Methods Fetal skin biopsies of human embryo were obtained from spontaneous abortions at different gestational ages from 13 to 32 weeks and children skin specimens were collected from patients undergoing plastic surgery. After morphological characteristics of skin at different development stages were detected with histological methods, gene expressions of EGF, EGFR, c-fos and c-myc in skin at different development stages were examined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR). Results Gene expression of EGF, EGFR, c-fos or c-myc could all be detected in fetal and childern skins. In fetal skin, the gene expression of these 4 genes was weak. Gene expression of these genes in skin was progressively enhanced with increasing gestational age. In children skin, the mRNA contents of these 4 genes were significantly increased in comparison with those in fetal skin (P

Objective To explore the change in gene expression of extracellular signal regulated protein kinase1 (erk1),erk2,p38MAPK and 3 c-Jun N- terminal kinases (jnk1,jnk2,jnk3) in fetal skin at different developmental stages and children skin. Methods After morphological characteristics of fetal skin at different developmental stages were examined histologically,gene expressions of erk1,erk2,p38MAPK,jnk1,jnk2 and jnk3 were determined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis (RT-PCR). Results Compared with early gestational fetal skin,the levels of gene expression of erk1 and erk2 showed no substantial change in late gestational fetal skin,while the contents of transcripts of p38MAPK and jnk1 were significantly decreased,the expressions of mRNA of jnk2 and jnk3 were obviously elevated. In children skin,gene expressions of erk2,p38MAPK and jnk1 were even more remarkably lowered. In contrary,gene expressions of jnk2 and jnk3 were marked enhanced. Conclusion The relative elevation of gene transcription of erk2 and p38MAPK and the inhibition of gene expression of jnk2 and jnk3 in fetal skin of earlier developmental stage might be related to fetal scarless healing.

Objective To study the differentially expressed genes between keloids and normal control skin using cDNA microarray. Methods The PCR products of 8400 human genes were spotted on a chemical-material-coated-glass plate in array. Total RNAs were isolated from the freshly excised human keloids and normal control skin,and then were purified to mRNAs,which were reversely transcribed to cDNAs with the incorporations of fluorescent dUTP,for preparing the hybridization probes. The mixed probes were hybridized to the cDNA microarray. According to the results of cDNA microarray,three genes (NGF,TGF-?_ 1 and c-myc) were chosen to study their differential expression in keloids and normal control skin by RT-PCR. Results Among the 8400 target genes,there were 402 genes with different expression (4.75%),and they were mainly associated with extracellular matrix genes,cellular signal molecule genes and cellular skeleton molecule genes. Analysis of collagen related molecule and growth factor gene expression confirmed that our molecular data obtained by cDNA microarray were consistent with published biochemical and clinical observations of keloids. RT-PCR showed that the levels of gene expression of NGF,TGF-?_ 1 and c-myc were all higher in keloids than those in normal control skin. Conclusion Many genes were found to be involved in the formation of keloids. Further analysis of the obtained genes might contribute to reveal the molecular mechanism of keloids formation,in which NGF,TGF-?_ 1 and c-myc might play important roles.

Objective:To explore the effect of standardized pain assessment and peer education on self-efficacy, quality of life and pain control of cancer pain patients.Methods:From January 2019 to January 2020, convenience sampling was used to select 162 inpatient cancer patients admitted to Henan Cancer Hospital as the research object. Patients were divided into observation group ( n=82) and control group ( n=80) based on the odd and even numbers of the patient's ward end number. Patients in control group received regular health education and traditional pain assessment. Observation group carried out standardized pain assessment and peer education. We compared self-efficacy, quality of life, pain control of two groups of patients before and after intervention. Results:Before intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients in terms of dimension scores and total scores of self-efficacy, quality of life ( P>0.05) . After intervention, dimension scores and total scores of self-efficacy and quality of life of cancer pain patients' pain between two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . Dimension scores and total scores of self-efficacy and quality of life of cancer pain patients in observation group were higher than those in control group with statistical differences ( P<0.01) . The overall pain control effect of cancer pain patients in observation group was better than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.721, P<0.01) . Conclusions:Standardized pain assessment and peer education applied to the pain management of cancer pain patients can effectively improve the pain control effect and self-efficacy as well as the quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the antibody levels and dynamic changes in patients infected with 2019-novel coronavirus(2019-nCoV).Methods:The average age of 72 corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients was (45.53±16.74)years(median age:47 year), including (44.88±17.09) years(median age:46 year) for 38 males and (46.32±16.52)years (median age:46 year) for 34 females in Loudi City, Hunan Province. There is no significant difference in genders between the severe and mild groups (χ2=0.916, P>0.05). There is a significant difference in the age between the severe and mild groups ( F=3.315, P<0.05). The blood samples of 72 discharged patients were collected and the consistence of IgM and IgG antibodies were detected by chemiluminescence method. SPSS25.0 was used for gender, age, case type and antibody analysis of variance, χ 2 test and other analysis. Results:The average time of the serum samples collection of 72 patients was (34.89±9.02)days (median time: 34 days) from onset of COVID-19, and (14.53±8.35) days (median time: 14 days) from discharge. The positive rate of IgM or IgG was 97.22% (70/72), and the positive rate of IgM and IgG was 48.61% (35/72) and 97.22% (70/72) respectively. Serum COVID-19 antibodies were detected in 72 patients from 1st to 40th days after discharge. The average concentration of IgM in 1-7 days, 8-14 days, 15-21 days, 22-28 days, above 29 days were 21.91(7.07-52.84)AU/ml, 14.16(6.19-32.88)AU/ml, 11.36(6.65-42.15)AU/ml, 8.15(3.66-30.12)AU/ml, 2.98(0.46-6.37)AU/ml. There was no significant difference in the time of IgM antibody concentration ( H= 8.439, P>0.05). The average concentrations of IgG in 1-7 days, 8-14 days, 15-21 days, 22-28 days, 29 days and above were 169.90 (92.06-190.91) AU/ml, 163.89 (91.19-208.02) AU/ml, 173.31 (95.06-191.28) AU/ml, 122.84 (103.19-188.34) AU/ml, 101.98 (43.75-175.30) AU/ml, respectively, ( H=2.232, P>0.05). The IgM becomes negative after the 3rd week of discharge and decreases rapidly with time. The IgG concentration higher than IgM during the same period, and keep at high level without any change, and decrease in the fourth week. Among them, 5 cases developed "re-infection" within 1-3 weeks after discharge, and the rate of "re-infection" was 6.94% (5/72 cases). Conclusions:After the COVID-19 patients are discharged from the hospital, the level of antibodies produced varies greatly among individuals, but the overall changes in antibodies have a certain pattern. It is recommended to strengthen the antibody monitoring during hospitalization and after discharge from the hospital to reduce the "re-infection" rate and potential risk of infection.
