Objective To study the relationship between the expression of Mycobacterium tuberculosis small heat shock protein Hsp16.3 and the apoptosis of infected mouse alveolar macrophages.Methods The laboratory mice were infected with bacterial suspension of the international standard virulent strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains (H37Rv),Hsp16.3 gene deletion mutants of the international standard virulent of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv strains(△H37Rv),or sterile saline solution (normal control)by the tail vein. After successful replication of mouse infection model in each group,we cleaved the alveolus of each group of mice and collected lavage fluid to obtain alveolar macrophages of the infected mice at days 1 ,3 ,5 ,7 ,9 ,1 1 ,1 3 and 1 5 .Then the infection status of macrophages was observed with confocal laser scanning microscopy;flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptosis rate of alveolar macrophages of the infected mice;Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 expressions were examined by Western blot.Results The apoptosis rate of Hsp16.3 gene was higher in deletion strain (△H37Rv)group and H37Rv strains (H37Rv)group than in control group.The apoptosis rate of alveolar macrophages in △ H37Rv group gradually increased,peaked at day 7 ,and then gradually decreased.It was significantly higher in H3 7 Rv group than in H3 7 Rv strain group from day 1 to 7 and from day 1 3 to 1 5 (P<0 .0 5 ).Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 protein expressions in the macrophages of△H37Rv group and H37Rv group were higher than those of control group.Caspase-3 expression in the microphages of △H3 7 Rv group and H3 7 Rv group gradually increased from day 1 to 7 and peaked at day 7;it peaked again at day 13 in H37Rv group.However,Caspase-3 expression remained significantly higher in△H37Rv group than in H3 7 Rv group (P<0 .0 5 ).Bcl-2 expression in △H3 7 Rv group did not change much at the early stage of infection (P<0 .0 5 ),but gradually increased after day 9 .Bcl-2 expression in H3 7 Rv group did did not change much from day 1 to 7 (P<0.05),but gradually increased after day 7.However,it remained lower in△H37Rv group than in H37Rv group,especially after 7 days(P<0.05).Conclusion Mycobacterium tuberculosis small heat shock protein Hsp16.3 can inhibit the apoptosis of macrophages during the early and late stages of infection,and this inhibition may be achieved by inhibiting the expression of apoptotic protease Caspase-3 and promoting the expression of Bcl-2 protein.

OBJECTIVETo seek effective drugs inhibiting herpes simplex virus (HSV-2) with the signal pathway required by virus replication as the target spot.
METHODHSV-2-induced Vero cytopathic effect was observed, and MTT method was adopted to detect call activity, in order to assess the antiviral capacity of freeze dried powder of aqueous extracts of Saururus chinensis (AESC). Western blot was used to check the effect of AESC on signal pathway induced by HSV-2 virus in HeLa cells.
RESULTAESC obviously inhibits the pathway activation of CPE induced by HSV-2 infection and NF-kappaB required for virus replication. The inhibition ratio of AESC freeze dried powder at 0.10, 0.03, 0.01 and 0.003 g x L(-1) were (70.68 +/- 3.39)%, (61.74 +/- 2.13)%, (39.31 +/- 1.10)% and (18.54 +/- 3.44)%, respectively. The IC50 was determined at (0.023 +/- 0.004) g x L(-1). The inhibition concentration of the positive control acyclovir was 0.001 g x L(-1) (5.0 x 10(-6) mol x L(-1)). The best administration time was from 2 h before infection to 6 h after infection. Western blot also showed that AESC can notably inhibit HSV-2-induced NF-kappaB nuclear transfer.
CONCLUSIONAESC can inhibit HSV-2 virus replication, which is related to the pathway activation of NF-kappaB required for virus replication.

Objective To study the effect of transitional care program involving group activities on self-efficacy in patients with cervical cancer. Methods A total of 34 cases from October 2013 to March 2014 in our hospital diagnosed with cervical cancer in parallel comprehensive treatment were selected as the observation group patients, and 34 cases from January to June in 2013 in our hospital diagnosed with cervical cancer in parallel comprehensive treatment were selected as control group. The control group was given routine nursing, while the observation group was given the transitional care program involving group activities. The general self-efficacy table ( GSES) and the EORTC QLQ-C30 were compared between the two groups. Results The scores of self-efficacy before intervention were (30. 41 ± 5. 54) in the observation group and (30. 22 ± 6. 14) in the control group, which had no significant difference (t =0. 241,P >0. 05). The scores of self-efficacy after intervention were (46. 24 ± 5. 33) in the observation group, which was significantly higher than (33. 35 ± 8. 45) in the control group (t=14. 145,P<0. 01). There were no significant differences in the physical function, role function and shortness of breath between the two groups ( t = -0. 985, -1. 314, 0. 238, respectively;P >0. 05). The rest 12 domain of the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group (t=3. 957, -8. 747, -7. 654, 4. 215, 14. 864, 4. 156, -39. 169, 3. 759, 2. 996, 2. 878, 3. 344, 14. 621, respectively;P<0. 05). Conclusions The transitional care program involving group activities can improve the self-efficacy of cervical cancer patients, enhance patients self-management level and the ability to adhere to health behaviors, and improve the quality of life of the patients.
