For the purposes of meeting the needs of COPD patients for health education, decreasing times and costs of re-hospitalization, and increasing patient satisfaction and nurses' working enthusiasm. In 2011, our hospital established a specialist nursing clinic for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and two nursesentitled-deputy directorswith rich clinical experiences for more than fifteen years and strong communication skills were se-lected to take charge of the clinic, and they were responsible for nursing assessment, making individualized pul-monary rehabilitation plan, health guidance, long-term follow up, etc., for discharged stable COPD patients and COPD patients with no need for hospitalization. Patient satisfaction was improved from 83% to 96% after implemen-tation.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the variations of mitochondrial gene ATP6 and type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) and chronic complications. Methods Genomic DNA were extracted from 254 T2DM patients and 165 age-matched controls. After amplification of ATP6 by PCR and direct sequencing, all sequences were compared with the reference sequence (rCRS) to find out the variations. Bioinformatics and statistic method were used to analyze these variations. Results Many variations were detected respectively in T2DM patients and controls, a part of them only appeared in T2DM patients in low frequency, which has not been reported previously. Most of these variations are located in thethird and forth transmembrane helix of ATP synthase subunit 6 (ATPase6). Interestingly, these variationsalmost were detected in the non-obese T2DM patients with hypotension, including G8557A, A8563G,T8594C, C8609T, A8689G, G8998A and G9139A. Conclusions There were many variations in geneATP6 and must of them are mitochondrial SNP, while variations A8689G, T8825C, G8920A, G8998A andG9139A may be mild mutations which my increase the susceptibility of T2DM. G8557A, A8563G,T8594C, C8609T, A8689G, G8998A and G9139A may be associated with the biogenetics diseases suchdiabetes and hypertension.

Objective: To construct an adenovirus-mediated anti-sense RNA targeting K-ras exon 1 of SW1990 cell line and observe its effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis after transferred into SW1990 cell line. Methods: K-ras exon 1 cDNA was cloned into shuttle vector pShuttle-CMV and the resultant plasmid was confirmed by enzyme digestion and PCR. Clones with inverted insertion were selected and co-transferred into E. coli BJ5183 with an adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdEasy-1 to produce recombinant plasmid by homologous recombination. Recombinants were then selected and transfected into 293 cell line to produce recombinant adenovirus. Recombinant adenovirus production was confirmed by PCR analysis and was amplified and purified; the virus titer was determined. Ad-LacZ was used to infect SW1990 cells and the infection efficiency was observed by X-gal staining. SW1990 cells was infected with the recombinant adenovirus and their proliferation and apoptosis were determined by MTT and annexin V/PI FCM assay. Results: A 282 bp target gene fragment was acquired by PCR; the titer of recombinant adenovirus was 7.6 × 108 pfu/ml before purification by CsCl2 gradient centrifugation and 5.0 × 1910 pfu/ml after CsCl2 gradient centrifugation. When the recombinant adenovirus was at 100 MOI, the infection efficiency of SW1990 cells nearly reached 100%. The transfection of recombinant adenovirus significantly inhibited SW1990 cell proliferation (P<0.05), with a maximal inhibitory rate of 40.5% 4-5 days after infection; it also significantly increased SW1990 cell apoptosis, with the apoptotic rate being (22.54 ± 5.38) % 72 hours after infection. Conclusion: We have successfully constructed an anti-sense RNA adenovirus vector targeting K-ras exon 1 of SW1990 cell line, paving a way for the anti-sense K-ras gene therapy of pancreatic carcinoma.
