At present ideological and political work in hospitals is characterized by limitedness, openness, autonomy and extensiveness. In doing ideological and political work in hospitals, it is therefore important to create for the staff diversified ideological platforms, extensive participation platforms, and swift and smooth information platforms. It is also essential to guide the ideological and political work in hospitals with a scientific view of development, adhere to people-oriented and scientific development, keep up with the times, constantly make innovations, and provide powerful intellectual impetus to hospital reform and development.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) poses serious health problems in Southern China and yet the molecular mechanism of the carcinogenesis remains unclear. We used modern proteomic technologies to compare the protein expression profiles between the NPC cell lines (HNE1 and CNE1 ) and an immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 to identify cancer related proteins. Cell lysates were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2 DE ) and analyzed by PDQuest software. The differentially expressed proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS). We discovered 15 up-regulated proteins and 18 down-regulated proteins in both HNE1 and CNE1 cell lines compared with NP69. These proteins are correlative with various functions, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cancer metastasis, metabolism, cytoskeleton and signal transduction. Western blotting analyses were further carried out to verify the differential expression of individual proteins. Several identified proteins in our research might be used as potential molecular markers to understand the molecular mechanism of NPC development and metastasis, and might be used as candidate targets for NPC treatments.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of hearing loss by studying the current status of hearing loss, risk factors of hearing loss, exposure level of noise, and everyday habit of hearing in a group of university students, so as to provide information for hearing loss prevention in university students. METHOD: According to the purposive sampling method, 642 freshmen students participated in the study. Pure tone audiometry, and exposure level of noise scale were performed in all participants.

【Objective】 To investigate the effects of echinacoside （ECH） on mitochondrial biosynthesis and cardiomyocytes’ apoptosis in heart failure （HF） and to explore its related mechanisms. 【Methods】 The experimental animals were divided into three groups： the rat model of HF （HF） was induced by intraperitoneal injection of ISO， and pre-treated with ECH by intraperitoneal injection （ECH） and nomal control （ctrl group）. Cardiac function was detected by echocardiography after 2 weeks of treatment. The ultrastructure of myocardium was observed by transmission electron microscopy and the mitochondrial density and vacuolation rate were analyzed. The expressions of apoptosis-associated proteins were evaluated by Western blotting， and genes related to mitochondrial biosynthesis were examined by Real-time PCR. 【Results】 ECH increased 1eft ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and 1eft ventricular fraction shortening （LVFS）， but decreased 1eft ventricular end-systolic diameter （LVEDs） and 1eft ventrieular end-diastolic diameter （LVEDd） when compared to HF group （P<0.01） and improved cardiac function. The myocardial ultrastructure was significantly improved by ECH， the density of regular shapes of mitochondria was increased， and the percentage of vacuolated rate was reduced by ECH （P<0.01）. The expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was upregulated and that of pro-apoptotic protein Bax was downregulated in ECH group. The mRNA of mitochondrial biosynthesis related genes PGC-1， NFR-1， NFR-2 and TFAM was significantly upregulated in ECH group. 【Conclusion】 ECH promotes mitochondrial biosynthesis and inhibits cardiomyocytes’ apoptosis by up-regulating PGC-1/NFR signaling pathway， thus improving cardiac function.

Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a rare and fatal malignant eye tumor. In this study, we deciphered a novel anti-CM mechanism of a natural tetracyclic compound named as cucurbitacin B (CuB). We found that CuB remarkably inhibited the proliferation of CM cells including CM-AS16, CRMM1, CRMM2 and CM2005.1, without toxicity to normal cells. CuB can also induce CM cells G2/M cell cycle arrest. RNA-seq screening identified KIF20A, a key downstream effector of FOXM1 pathway, was abolished by CuB treatment. Further target identification by activity-based protein profiling chemoproteomic approach revealed that GRP78 is a potential target of CuB. Several lines of evidence demonstrated that CuB interacted with GRP78 and bound with a K _d value of 0.11 μmol/L. Furthermore, ATPase activity evaluation showed that CuB suppressed GRP78 both in human recombinant GRP78 protein and cellular lysates. Knockdown of the GRP78 gene significantly induced the downregulation of FOXM1 and related pathway proteins including KIF20A, underlying an interesting therapeutic perspective. Finally, CuB significantly inhibited tumor progression in NCG mice without causing obvious side effects in vivo. Taken together, our current work proved that GRP78-FOXM1-KIF20A as a promising pathway for CM therapy, and the traditional medicine CuB as a candidate drug to hinder this pathway.
