Objective:To explore the effects of sulforaphane (SFN), an activator of Nrf2, on anxiety and fear memory in Alzheimer's disease(AD) model mice and mechanism.Methods:The AD mice and wild type (WT) mice with the same background were randomly divided into four groups ( n=12 for each group): wild type + normal saline group (WT+ NS), wild type + sulforaphane (WT+ SFN), AD model + normal saline group (AD+ NS) and AD model + sulforaphane group (AD+ SFN). SFN was dissolved in normal saline (0.9% NaCl) and prepared solution with concentration of 1 g/L.According to body weight, mice in WT+ SFN group and AD+ SFN group were intraperitoneally injected with SFN (10 mg/kg), and mice in WT+ NS group and AD+ NS group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of normal saline once a day for 30 days.The open field test was used to detect the autonomous exploration ability and anxious behavior of mice.The elevated cross maze was used to detect the anxiety of mice.Conditional fear test was used to test the fear memory behavior of mice.Finally, the expression of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex were detected by ELISA.Two-way ANOVA analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0.2 software. Results:In the open field test, the percentage of time in central region in AD+ SFN group ((9.99+ 0.37)%) was higher than that of AD+ NS group ((8.47+ 0.42)%) ( q=3.842, P<0.05). In the elevated cross maze, the percentage of time in open arm of AD+ SFN group ((26.2±1.6)%) was higher than that in AD+ NS group ((15.8±1.0)%) ( q=7.452, P<0.01). In the conditional fear test, all the mice of the four groups developed the fear memory, but AD+ SFN group showed higher freezing time ratio ((64.5±3.8)%) than AD+ NS group ((51.0±4.3)%)( q=5.266, P<0.01) in the testing stage.After SFN intervention, the important indicator of oxidative stress, the expression levels of SOD in hippocampus ( q=6.370, P<0.01) and cortex ( q=7.858, P<0.01) of AD mice increased, while the level of MDA in hippocampus ( q=5.146, P<0.05) and cortex ( q=5.833, P<0.01) decreased. Conclusion:SFN may inhibit oxidative stress through Nrf2 pathway, thereby improving anxiety and fear memory in AD mice.

Human tumor necrosis factor alpha (hTNFalpha), a pleiotropic cytokine with activities ranging from host defense mechanisms in infection and injury to severe toxicity in septic shock or other related diseases, is a promising target for drug screening. Using the SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) process, we isolated oligonucleotide ligands (aptamers) with high affinities for hTNFalpha. Aptamers were selected from a starting pool of 40 randomized sequences composed of about 10(15) RNA molecules. Representative aptamers were truncated to the minimal length with high affinity for hTNFalpha and were further modified by replacement of 2'-OH with 2'-F and 2'-NH2 at all ribopurine positions. These modified RNA aptamers were resistant to nuclease. The specificity of these aptamers for hTNFalpha was confirmed, and their activity to inhibit the cytotoxicity of hTNFalpha on mouse L929 cells was determined. Results demonstrated that four 2'-NH2-modified aptamers bound to hTNFalpha with high affinity and blocked the binding of hTNFalpha to its receptor, thus protecting the L929 cells from the cytotoxicity of hTNFalpha. Oligonucleotide aptamers described here are potential therapeutics and diagnostics for hTNFalpha-related diseases.

Objective:To explore the status quo of knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants among nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and related training needs.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. From March to April 2022, 207 NICU nurses from 6 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Shandong Province were selected by convenient sampling. The nurses were investigated online by using the self-developed General Information Questionnaire, Premature Infant Posture Management Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for NICU Nurses and Premature Infant Posture Management Training Needs Questionnaire for NICU Nurses. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of NICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants. A total of 207 questionnaires were distributed, and 201 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.10% (201/207) .Results:Among 201 NICU nurses, the scores of premature infant posture management knowledge, attitude, practice and total score were (59.12±7.82) , (33.10±3.09) , (54.92±7.36) and (147.14±15.15) respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis results show that the nature of the working hospital, whether they received relevant training, and the importance of participating in relevant training were the influencing factors of NICU nurses' total score of knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants ( P<0.05) . 78.11% (157/201) of NICU nurses accepted the training of premature infant posture management, 98.01% (197/201) of NICU nurses were willing to accept the training of premature infant posture management, and 91.04% (183/201) of NICU nurses thought it was very important to participate in the training of premature infant posture management. NICU nurses believed that the main obstacle affecting the quality of posture management of premature infants was the lack of relevant knowledge. The most desired training content was the effect of different postures on premature infants. Conclusions:NICU nurses have a high level of knowledge, attitude and practice in posture management of premature infants. Managers should strengthen the training of NICU nurses in the posture management of premature infants, improve the ability of NICU nurses in the posture management of premature infants, and promote the improvement of the nursing quality of premature infants.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(3):367-370
Objective:
To identify the lifestyle pattern of adolescents in Guangzhou and to provide a scientific basis for targeted and individualized interventions for adolescents with different lifestyle pattern.
Methods:
A survey was conducted by questionnaire among 12 540 students from 27 middle schools in the urban area of Guangzhou using a convenient sampling method. The latent class model (LCM) was used to identify lifestyle patterns of adolescents, and further analyses were conducted to compare differences in dietary habits and willingness to exercise among the different classes.
Results:
Three lifestyle patterns were identified based on the latent class model: "high sweet snacks/excessive screen time, sleep and exercise deficiency group", 3 797 people, accounting for 30.3%; "low nutrition diet/severe sleep and exercise deficiency group", 2 745 people, accounting for 21.9%; "general diet/sleep and exercise deficiency group", 5 998 people, accounting for 47.8%. Adolescents of different classes had different perceptions of their eating habits and different degrees of willingness to participate in physical exercise, these differences were statistically significant(χ 2=671.54, Z=153.16, P<0.05).
Conclusion
The results of the latent class model showed that the three classes of adolescents had their own unique characteristics. It is necessary to inform them of their needs, provide guidance and implement targeted interventions according to the unique characteristics of the different lifestyle patterns in empirical work.
