Objective To establish a primary culture of human melanocytes from tiny skin sheets harvested by using a suction blister method, to carry out a serial subcultivation of the melanocytes with human amniotic membrane (AM) as a scaffold, and to observe the influence of AM on the adhesion, proliferation and dendrite development of melanocytes. Methods Tiny skin sheets were collected from the flexual forearm or lower abdomen of a healthy male volunteer by a suction blister method and melanocytes in the skin sheet were counted following Dopa staining under a microscope. The trypsinized skin sheets were scraped with a scalpel to harvest melanocytes which were subjected to a primary culture. Then, the melanocytes were inoculated onto fresh or cryopreserved AM followed by a culture for various durations (4, 8 and 12 days). The morphology and dendrite development of melanocytes were visualized under an inverted microscope after dopa-staining, cell viability evaluated by MTT assay, the adhesion to AM examined by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining protocol. Results The density of melanocytes was 1543.1±13.3 cells per mm2 and 857.4±101.7 cells per mm2 in skin sheets obtained from the forearm flexure and lower abdomen of the volunteer, respectively. A skin sheet of about 25.1 mm2 from approximately two blister roof was required to ensure the success of primary culture of melanocytes within 1 month. After culture on fresh or cryopreserved AM for 4, 8, and 12 days, most melanocytes were bi-polar with extended slender dendrites compared with those cultured in common cell culture medium. HE staining showed that melancytes adhered and were evenly distributed on the basement membrane of AM. MTT assay showed that the AM inhibited the proliferation of melanocytes, and no statistical difference was observed in the inhibitory effect between fresh AM and cryopreserved AM (P＞ 0.05). Conclusions Enriched with melanocyes, flexural forearm is a preferable donor site to offer skin sheets for primary culture of melanocytes. Human AM could improve the adhesive growth and dendrite development of melanocytes, and may serve as a promising bioscaffold for in vitro expansion of melanocytes.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the causative agent of cold sores and other more serious diseases. HSV-1 infected-cell protein 27 (ICP27) is an immediate-early regulatory phosphoprotein homologous to gene products identified in all classes of herpesviruses so far. To raise the antiserum to ICP27 for further characterization of its biological function, the ICP27 gene was cloned into the pET-28a (+) vector, then ICP27 protein was expressed in E. Coli and purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni2+-NTA) affinity resin column,finally the purified protein was used to raise antiserum. Western blot analysis demonstrated that the antiserum recognized the recombinant protein, and the antiserum was able to probe the ICP27 in HSV-1 infected cells with high specificity by immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Therefore, the specific antiserum will provide a valuable tool for further studies investigating ICP27's biological function during HSV-1 infection.

Objective:To explore the optimal postpartum nursing intervention method of elderly second-birth parturient based on the best evidence and evaluate its effect so as to improve the quality of clinical nursing.Methods:Based on the best evidence obtained from the previous study, the optimal nursing examination index of the elderly second parturient was established, and the evidence of best practice was obtained by using the evidence-based nursing method, and the 2017 revised version (the third edition of) Johns Hopkins evidence-based nursing practice model) was used to guide nurses to apply the evidence to clinical practice. During the period from March to May 2019, the baseline review was completed, including 82 pregnant women and 43 nurses. The evidence was incorporated into clinical practice in June 2019. From July to October 2019, the same indicators and inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to evaluate the effectiveness of evidence application in 43 nurses (including midwives) and 85 elderly second-child parturients in obstetric wards (including baby-friendly areas). The anxiety, depression, maternal satisfaction and nurses' correct implementation rate of the best evidence were compared before and after the application of evidence.Results:After the use of evidence-based intervention, the implementation rate of nurses was above 80%. The anxiety score of parturient decreased from 55.29±10.11 to 41.74±10.35, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 8.55, P<0.001), and the depression score decreased from 57.77 ±8.32 to 47.86 ±9.33, the difference was statistically significant ( t value was 7.23, P<0.001). Maternal satisfaction increased from 92.68% (76/82) to 98.82% (84/85), the difference was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 3.92, P< 0.05). Conclusion:The result of practice shows that through evidence-based nursing intervention, we can further standardize the postpartum optimal nursing paradigm of elderly second-child parturients in China. Reduce postpartum anxiety and depression and improve maternal satisfaction. And quality review still needs to be continuously promoted and implemented in clinical practice in order to continuously improve the quality of nursing and ensure sustainability.

Objective:To investivate the relationship of serum estradiol and oxidative stress with microcirculation resistance in women with syndrome X.Methods:A total of 120 patients with syndrome X who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology in Guangzhou First People's Hospital from January 2015 to January 2019 were enrolled. All patients underwent coronary angiography and pressure wire examination and were divided into two groups according to the index of microcirculation resistance (IMR). Forty healthy people in the medical examination center were used as controls in the same period. The level of serum estradiol, interleukin-1 (IL-1), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured among three groups.Results:The rate of diabetes mellitus in high IMR group was higher than that in control group and low IMR group ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference between low IMR group and control group ( P>0.05). The levels of serum estradiol and SOD were significantly lower in high IMR group than those in low IMR group and control group. The levels of IL-1 and TNF-α were significantly higher in high IMR group than those in low IMR group and control group ( P<0.05). These indexes have the same relationship between low-IMR group and control group ( P<0.05). The level of serum estradiol was negatively correlated with the levels of IL-1 and TNF-α in high and low IMR groups and positively correlated with the level of SOD in these groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, low serum estradiol level, low SOD level, high IL-1 level, high TNF-α level were the independent risk factors for microcirculation resistance in women with syndrome X ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The decreased serum estradiol is an important factor for coronary microcirculation disorders in women with syndrome X. The decrease of serum estradiol level leads to the loss of the corresponding antagonistic effect in oxidative stress state, which may be one of the important mechanisms of the formation and progress of coronary microcirculation disorder.

Sequences analysis revealed Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) s10 was 909 nucleotides coding a 34 kDa protein denoted as VP7, which was determined to be a viral outer capsid protein (OCP). To obtain expressed OCP in vitro, a full length VP7 gene was produced by RT-PCR amplification, and the amplified fragment was cloned into T7 promoted prokaryotic expression vector pRSET. The recombinant plasmid,which was named as pR/GCRV-VP7,was then transformed into E.coli BL21 host cells. The data indicated that the expressed recombinant was in frame with the N-terminal fusion peptide. The over-expressed fusion protein was produced by inducing with IPTG, and its molecular weight was about 37kDa, which was consistent with its predicted size. In addition, the fusion protein was produced in the form of the inclusion body with their yield remaining steady at more than 60% of total bacterial protein. Moreover,the expressed protein was able to bind immunologically to anti-his-tag monoclonal antibody (mouse) and anti-GCRV serum (rabbit). This work provides a research basis for further structure and function studies of GCRV during entry into cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the stress responses during wakeup test in patients undergoing cerebral functional area operation performed under propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia.Methods Thirty-six ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,undergoing cerebral functional area operation requiring wake-up test,aged 18-60 yr,weighing 50-70kg,were randomly divided into control group (group C) or dexmedetomidine group (group D) with 18 cases in each group.Dexmedetomidine 0.8 μg/kg was infused over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by infusion at 0.4 μg·kg-1 · h-1 in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was infused in group C.Anesthesia was induced with target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil and iv injection of cisatracurium.At 30 min prior to wake-up test,target-controlled infusion of propofol and application of mulscle relaxants were stopped,the target plasma concentration of remifentanil was decreased to 1 ng/ml,and in group D the infusion rate of dexmedetomidine was decreased to 0.1 μg·kg 1· h-1.Anesthesia time and consumption of anesthetics before wake-up test,wake-up time,and development of complications and intraoperative awareness during wake-up test were recorded.At 30 min prior to wake-up test (T1),immediately after wake-up (T2),at 5 min after wake-up (T3),and at 10 min after the anesthetic depth was deepened (T4),HR,mean arterial pressure and BIS value were recorded and blood samples were taken for determination of plasma concentrations of epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE).Results Compared with group C,the consumption of propofol and remifentanil was significantly reduced before wake-up,the incidence of hypertension was decreased during wake-up test,and HR and plasma E and NE concentrations were decreased at each time point (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant difference in mean arterial pressure and BIS value was found in group D (P ＞ 0.05).Tachycardia,restlessness,bucking and awareness were not observed during wake-up test in group D.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can inhibit the stress responses during wake-up test and raise the quality of wake-up test in patients undergoing cerebral functional area operation performed under propofol combined with remifentanil anesthesia.
