Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;(4):350-354
Objective The F10 gene was found in the initial stage of our study to be highly expressed in hydatidiform mole. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of theoverexpression or depletion of F10 on the invasiveness of the choriocarcinoma cell line JAR and explore the relationship of F10 expression with the invasiveness and metastasis ofchoriocarcinoma. Methods Using cell transfection and RNA interference technology, we established JAR choriocarcinoma cell lines with stablyoverexpressedor silenced F10 gene.We randomly and equally assigned 30 SPF nude mice into the three groups to receive the injection of JAR cellswith overex-pressed F10 ( F10 overexpression group) , untreated JAR cells ( control group) , and JAR cells with silenced F10( F10 silence group) . At 5 weeks after the JAR cell injection, we harvested the subcutaneous tumor tissues from the mice, determined the expressions of ma-trix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), and compared by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, and compared the expressions among the three groups of mice. Results Im-munohistochemistryshowed significantlyup-regulated expressions of MMP-2, -8, -11, -16, and-19 and down-regulated expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 in the subcutaneous tumor tissues in the F10 overexpression group as compared with the control and F10 silence groups ( P<0.05) .Western blot also exhibitedextremely significantly up-regulated expressions of MMP-2,-8,-11,-16, and -19 pro-teins anddown-regulated expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 proteins in the F10 overexpression groupin comparison with the control and F10 silence groups( P<0.01 ) . Conclusion By up-regulating the expressions of MMPs and down-regulating the expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1, the F10 gene might be an upstream stimulating factor involved in the proliferation, invasiveness, and metastasis of-choriocarcinoma cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nursing interventions on the quality of life of patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving nursing interventions were collected from the databases of Cochrane,PubMed,Elsevier Science Direct,VIP,CNKI and WanFang.Data were analyzed with RevMan 5.1 software.Results 8 articles met the inclusion criteria.The results of Meta-analysis showed that there was considerable heterogeneity across the analysis,which might be resulted from length of intervention and patients of different ages according to subgroup analysis,and that gender was not the factor causing heterogeneity.In the experimental group,both physical and emotional aspects after receiving nursing interventions were significantly improved than the control group.Conclusions Nursing interventions can improve the quality of life of patients with CAPD.

Objective To evaluate the value of ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) and the correlation between IMA levels and the pathological scope of coronary atherosclerosis .Methods A total of 88 coro-nary heart disease(CHD) patients diagnosed by coronary arteriongraphy (CAG) were selected ,including stable angina pectoris (16 cases)(SA group) and acute coronary syndrome (72 cases)(ACS group) .ACS group was further divided into 3 groups :unstable an-gina pectoris(30 cases)(UA group) ,non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (19 cases) (NSTEMI group) ,ST-elevation myocardial infarction(23 cases) (STEMI group) .According to the results of CAG ,CHD patients were divided into 3 groups:1 vessel lesion group ,2 vessels lesion group and 3 vessels lesion group ,and 60 healthy physical cases were selected as control group .Results IMA in the CHD group was significantly higher than in control group (P<0 .05) .IMA in the ACS group was higher than SA group (P<0 .05) .IMA in the NSTEMI group and STEMI group were significantly higher than UA group (P<0 .05) .IMA levels and the degree of coronary atherosclerosis were significantly positively correlated (P<0 .05 ,r=0 .570) .When the cut-off value of IMA was 80 .10 U/mL ,the area under the curve was 0 .869 ,the specificity was 98 .4% and the sensitivity was 65 .9% .Logistic regression a-nalysis showed that IMA was an independent predictor of CHD .Conclusion IMA has a high negative predictive value in the diag-nosis of CHD ,there was a significantly positive correlation between IMA level and the pathological scope of coronary atherosclero-sis .

Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2019;28(7):655-659
Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) among coal miners,and explore factors structure and essence. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among 731 coal miners by using CD-RISC,Maslach burnout inventory( MBI-GS) and general self-efficacy scale( GSES). Results Twenty-five items of CD-RISC were retained based on the re-sults of exploratory factor analysis,including three factors of stress resistance,sense of competence and optim-ism. CD-RISC factors were significantly correlated with each other,and the correlation coefficient ranged from 0. 623 to 0. 777(P<0. 01). There was also a significant correlation between CD-RISC factors and total score, and the correlation coefficient ranged from 0. 837 to 0. 939(P<0. 01). The fitting index of confirmatory factor analysis were χ2/df=3. 76<5,GFI=0. 884,CFI=0. 909,AGFI=0. 862>0. 8,RMSEA=0. 065,proved that the measured data fitted well with the hypothesized three-factor model. Internal consistency reliability coeffi-cient of the total scale,stress resistance,sense of competence and optimism factors were 0. 942,0. 920,0. 868 and 0. 765,repectively. The CD-RISC scale was positively correlated with GSES and negatively correlated with MBI-GS and its factors named emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Conclusion The CD-RISC of 25 items for coal miners possesses good reliability and validity.
