Nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) are immature red blood cells, which are rarely in circulating blood in elder children, but often present in neonatal blood. The clinical significance in neonates is unclear. Numerous studies have shown that many kinds of acute and chronic stimuli can lead to an increase in the number of nRBCs in circulating blood. This article reviews various pathological processes related to the production and release of nRBCs, and emphasizes the effects of acute and chronic hypoxia and immune regulation on it.

BACKGROUND:Hepatocyte transplantation has attracted more and more attention as a therapeutic measure for liver failure and genetic metabolic liver diseases.OBJECTIVE:TO evaluate the efficacy and safety of human hepatocyte transplantation in treating hepatitis B related liver failure in one case by a 2-year follow-up.DESIGN:A case-report of 2-year follow-up.SETTING:No.9 Department of Infectious Diseases,Bioengineering Research Room,the 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICI PANT:One inpatient with hepatitis B related liver failure was selected from the 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA.and she was diagnosed according the laboratory tests.The transplanted hepatocytes were originated frOm the healthy liver of a 24-year-old man,who had signed the protocol for liver donation before death.METHODS:The hepatocyte transplantation was completed in the Department of Radiology,the 302 Hospital of Chinese PLA in December 2004.Liver was isolated to obtain human primary hepatocytes, and then cryopreserved.The hepatocytes were transplanted into recipient spleen via femoral vein after resuscitation.The clinical symptoms,changes of blood biochemical indexes,and changes of spleen MRI signals were observed before and after operation.The patient was reexamined every half a year after operation, including liver function, blood coagulation function,B-mode ultrasonography,gastroscopy and MRI,and she was followed up for 2 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Liver function,blood coagulation function, imaging indexes, immunological indexes,complication and rejection.RESULTS:①Totally(1-2)×1010 hepatocytes were harvested,and the viability of rewarmed hepatocytes was 60%,and finally 2×109 hepatocytes were transplanted.②Two months later,the clinical symptoms of the recipient were obviously ameliorated,and serum bilirubin and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)were obviously decreased,while prothrombin activity was markedly increased.20 months later,the MRI results showed that there was hepatocyte image in spleen.Two years after operation.the total bilirubin level was 20 μmol/L,direct bilirubin level was 7 μmol/L, alanine aminotransferase was 416.75 nkat/L,AST was 533.44 nkat/L,albumin was 37 g/L,prothrombin activity was 90%,which were all obviously ameliorated as compared with those before operation(474.5 μmol/L,340.3 μmol/L,400.08 nkat/L,1 200.24 nkat/L,38 g/L,25%).The patient left the hospital 2 months later and could do light-burdened job.No complications of hydroperitonia and liver function failure, etc.were observed,and no rejection occurred.Several reexaminations by B-mode ultrasonography all indicated the further aggravations of liver cirrhosis and esophageal varices.She was admitted to hospital for twice because of esophageal varices bleeding,and cured by endoscopic variceal sclerosis therapy.CONCLUSION:Hepatocyte transplantation can ameliorate liver function without rejection,but it cannot relieve portal hypertension.

Objective:To explore the application value of transrectal ultrasound images classification network model of prostate cancer based on deep learning in the classification of benign and malignant prostate tissue in transrectal ultrasound images.Methods:A total of 1 462 two-dimensional images of transrectal prostate biopsy with clear pathologic results(including 658 images of malignant tumor, 804 images of benign tumor) from 203 patients with suspicious prostate cancer(including 89 cases of malignant tumor, 114 cases of benign tumor) were collected from May 2018 to May 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University. They were divided into the training database, validation database, and test database. And the training and validation database were used to train and obtain the intelligence-assisted diagnosis network model, and then the test database was used to test the network model and two ultrasound doctors of different ages. With pathologic diagnosis as the gold standard, the diagnostic performance among them was evaluated.Results:①The sensitivity of network model was 66.7% the specificity was 91.9%, the accuracy was 80.5%, the precision(positive predictive value) was 87.1%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.922. ②The accuracy of the junior and senior ultrasound doctors was 57.5%, 62.0%; the specificity was 62.0%, 66.3%; the sensitivity was 51.5%, 56.8%; the precision was 53.1%, 58.1%, respectively. ③The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision of classification: the network model > the ultrasound doctors, the differences were significant( P<0.05); the senior ultrasound doctor>the junior ultrasound doctor, the differences were not significant( P>0.05). Conclusions:The intelligence-assisted diagnosis network model based on deep learning can classify benign and malignant prostate tissue in transrectal ultrasound images, improve the accuracy of ultrasound doctors in diagnosing prostate cancer. It is of great significance to improve the efficiency of screening for patients with high clinical suspicion of prostate cancer.

Objective:To explore the application and effect of the online teaching in the clinical nursing practice of obstetrics and gynecology during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic.Methods:A total of 26 undergraduate nursing interns in the obstetrics and gynecology department of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University during the epidemic period were enrolled in this study. The interns accepted online practical teaching, and the teaching effect was analyzed and evaluated through the results of the exit examination and online teaching satisfaction.Results:The theoretical course scores of nursing students are all above 80 points, among which 22 (84.62%) are above 90 points. The operation scores are all above 90 (94.04±2.96) points. The results of the online teaching satisfaction survey show that, 23 (88.46%) nursing students are satisfied with the effect of their online practice.Conclusion:The online teaching mode during COVID-19 epidemic can help nursing students master the theoretical knowledge of obstetrics and gynecology, improve their clinical reasoning ability, strengthen their practical operation skills, and enhance their autonomous learning ability.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are the third largest solid component in human milk,followed by lactose and lipids.The importance of HMOs to infants has attracted more and more attention.The core structure of HMOs consists of galactose (Gal),glucose (Glc),N-acetylglucosamine (GlcAc),fucose (Fuc) and sialic acid (Sia) derived N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac),which link with different groups that have different effects.HMOs could be used as prebiotics to regulate intestinal flora,as antiadhesives to resist pathogen adhesion,and as modulators of cell responses to regulate cellular inflammation.Through the mechanisms above,HMOs can affect many aspects of infant growth and development,such as relieving diarrhea,preventing respiratory infections,alleviating allergies,interfering with obesity,and even affecting the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.This article will explain the structure of HMOs,the metabolism inside human body and the definite mechanism of action in process of infantile development and describe some related diseases.

OBJECTIVETo clone the unknown gene of hepatocyte protein interacting with hepatitis C virus core protein.

METHODSUsing the yeast dual hybrid system 3, bait plasmids of hepatitis C virus core were constructed. After identifying hepatitis C virus core protein that could stably expressed in AH109 yeast strains, we performed yeast two hybrid by mating AH109 with Y187 that transformed with liver cDNA library plasmids pACT2 and then plated on quadrople dropout (QDO) medium and assayed for alpha-gal activity. The genes of yeast colonies that could grow on QDO and had alpha-gal activity were sequenced.

RESULTSAmong the 30 positive colonies, we blasted the gene of the sixth colony; we coined human hepatitis C virus binding protein 6(Hu Hcbp6) with Genbank, realized that the Hu Hcbp6 shares as much as 98% homology with two cDNA without knowing functions. We have proved that Hu Hcbp6 could interact with hepatitis C virus core protein.

CONCLUSIONSHepatitis C virus core binding protein (Hu Hcbp 6 Genbank number: AY032594) was successfully cloned and identified. The study partly paved the way for investigating physiological function of the Hu Hcbp6.
