Objective To investigate how SDF-1α and c-MYC protein regulates TACRl-Tr expression. Methods c-myc shRNA vector was constructed, small interfering RNA was employed for silencing c-myc gene in MCF-7 breast cancer cell. SDF-1α neutralized antibody was used in c-myc+ cell group and c-myc- cell group, while other c-myc+ cell group and c-myc- cells group were cultured under normal condition. The mRNA level of TACRl-Tr was determined by real-time PCR. Results c-myc shRNA vector was constructed successfully, in the normal presence of SDF-la, the level of TACRl-Tr mRNA in c-myc- cell group were lower than that in c-myc+ cell group( P < 0.05). But in the presence of SDF-la neutralized antibody, TACRl-Tr mRNA level of c-myc- cell group was higher than that of c-myc+ cell group(P < 0.05). Conclusion In the normal culture condition, c-MYC protein may transactivate TACRl-Tr transcription in MCF-7 cell, in the presence of SDF-1α neutral antibody, c-MYC protein lost the activity of transactivating for TACRl-Tr transciption.

Objective:
To learn the health literacy level and its influencing factors among permanent residents in Shaanxi Province in order to improve it.
Methods:
From July to November of 2017,multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 15-69 year-old permanent residents in Shaanxi Province. A survey was conducted using“Chinese citizen health literacy monitoring questionnaire”issued by National Health Commission. The influencing factors for health literacy were analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression model.
Results:
Totally 2 352 valid questionnaires were collected with a response rate of 98.00%. The health literacy level of permanent residents in Shaanxi Province was 10.54%. The levels of basic knowledge,healthy lifestyle and behaviors,and health related skills were 24.81%,9.33% and 14.52%,respectively. The levels of scientific health views,safety and first aid,health information,infectious diseases prevention,basic medical care and chronic diseases prevention were 42.81%,42.73%,19.11%,18.32%,16.27% and 8.24%,respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that educational background of junior high school or above(OR:6.660-29.077,95%CI:2.050-97.355)was a promoting factor of health literacy,yet rural residency(OR=0.621,95%CI:0.442-0.872)was a constraining factor.
Conclusion
The heath literacy level of Shaanxi residents in 2017 was 10.54%. Educational background of junior high school or above and rural residency were influencing factors for health literacy.
