Objective To explore the effects of signaling pathways inducing activation of DC-SIGN promoter on the activity of HIV-1 5'LTR.Methods The sequences of DC-SIGN promoter and HIV-1 5'LTR were amplified by PCR and then cloned into pGL-3/Basic plasmid to constructluciferase reporter plasmids for DC-SIGN promoter and HIV-1 5'LTR.Differentiated THP-1 cells stimulated by PMA (phorbol myristate acetate) were used as the in vitro model of DCs.The activaties of DC-SIGN promoter and HIV-1 5'LTR induced by IL-4 in differentiated THP-1 cells were studied using luciferase reporter plasmids.The signaling pathways were identified by using specific inhibitors.Results IL-4 induced signaling pathways could increase the activities of HIV-1 5'LTR and DC-SIGN promoter for more than two times in THP-1 cells transfected with luciferase reporter plasmids.However,the activity of HIV-1 5'LTR was weaker than that of DCSIGN promoter.ERK/JAK-STAT/NF-κB signal pathway blockers could inhibit the luciferase activity driven by DC-SIGN promoter,of which ERKI/2 blocker showed the strongest inhibitory effect that almost completely blocked IL-4 induction.NF-κB blocker had a significant inhibitory effect on HIV-1 5'LTR activity at a rate of 52.32%,followed by the ERK blocker at a rate of 43.31%.Conclusion This study suggested that IL-4-induced signaling pathways mediate the activation of DC-SIGN promoter and HIV-1 5'LTR through NFκB and ERK.

Objective To investigate the sleep condition and its influence factors in old patients with hypertension. Methods A total of 100 old patients with hypertension were investigated by Pitts-burgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and serf-designed questionnaire of influence factors. Results 76 per-cents of the old patients with hypertension had sleep disorders.The total score of PSQI,sleep quality,time take to fall asleep,hours of sleep,sleep effficiency,sleep disorders,hypnotic drugs and every score of daytime dysfunction were significantly higher than domestic norm(P<0.01).Surroundings(strange circumstances or noisiness), physio-pathology (disease distress or high frequency of going to toilet during nighttime),psycho-logical situations(the fear to the disease or worrying about medical fees) and drags(use of diuretics or the adverse effects of some antihypertensive agents) were the important factors affecting sleep quality. Con-clusions Old patients with hypertension have poor sleep quality,which relates with multiple factors.Valid nursing interventions should be adopted in order to control the various factors which affect sleep quality to improve patients' sleep quality.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy, safety and tolerance of different enteral nutritional therapy in the treatment of moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP).Methods:From January 2018 to January 2019, 65 patients with MSAP who were hospitalized in Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University were prospectively enrolled. According to random number table, the patients were divided into the nasogastric tube enteral nutrition (NGEN) group (35 cases) and the nasojejunal tube enteral nutrition (NJEN) group (30 cases). All the patients received enteral nutrition solution through continuously pumping at a constant speed for 24 h. The two groups were compared in the relief time of abdominal pain, time from admission to receiving enteral nutrition treatment, time to resume oral feeding, computed tomography severity index (CTSI) score 1 week after enteral nutrition, nutrition status, infection parameters, hospitalization time, hospitalization expenses and complications. Independent sample t test and rank sum test of two independent samples were used for statistical analysis. Results:There were no significant differences in age, gender, body mass index (BMI), CTSI score and Ranson score at admission, relief time of abdominal pain, time from admission to receiving enteral nutrition treatment, time to resume oral feeding, CTSI score one week after enteral nutrition or hospitalization time between NGEN group and NJEN group (all P>0.05), and there was no death in both groups. The cost of hospitalization, catheterization time, cost of catheterization of NGEN group were all lower than those of NJEN group ((40.0±10.0) thousand yuan vs. (40.4±9.0) thousand yuan; 2.00 min (1.50 min, 2.50 min) vs. 11.50 min (9.50 min, 12.75 min); 135.42 yuan (135.42 yuan, 135.42 yuan) vs. 1 313.30 yuan (1231.20 yuan, 1 823.72 yuan)), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.342, Z=6.737 and 7.687, all P<0.01). The albumin levels of MSAP patients of the NGEN group at admission and 1 week after enteral nutrition were both higher than those of NJEN group ((43.5±5.1) g/L vs. (41.0±4.0) g/L, (42.1±4.1) g/L vs. (39.5±4.4) g/L), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=2.135 and 2.486, P=0.04 and 0.02), however there was no statistically significant difference in the decrease of albumin level between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of nutrition-related complications (abdominal distension, diarrhea, gastric retention and lumen obstruction) or the incidence of severe complications (transient organ failure and pancreatic necrosis complicated with infection) between NGEN group and NJEN group (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The efficacy and safety of NGEN are equivalent to NJEN in MSAP. Moreover, it can reduce the medical expenses of patients, and it is convenient to carry out in primary hospitals because of its easy operation.
