Objective To investigate the influence of hospital-community integrated management mode on self behavior and blood glucose level in patients with typeⅡdiabetes .Method Three hundred and thirty-six patients with type II diabetes were treated with hospital-community integrated management. The index of biochemical indicators and self behaviors were compared between pre-and post-intervention.Result After intervention,the patients had improvements not only in medication compliance,rationale dieting,regular examination and self monitoring and physical exercises,but also in the indexes of biochemical indicators including fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 hour postprandial blood glucose(2 hBG), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1 c),(all P<0.05).Conclusion The hospital-community integrated management mode is helpful for the patients to form a right behavioral pattern and thus promoting the normalizations of biochemical indicators.

The self-renewal and multipotent potentials in neural stem cells (NSCs) maintain the normal physiological functions of central nervous system (CNS). The abnormal differentiation of NSCs would lead to CNS disorders. However, the mechanisms of how NSCs differentiate into astrocytes, oligodendrocytes (OLs) and neurons are still unclear, which is mainly due to the complexity of differentiation processes and the limitation of the cell separation method. In this study, we modeled the dynamics of neural cell interactions in a systemic approach by mining the high-throughput genomic and proteomic data, and identified 8615 genes that are involved in various biological processes and functions with significant changes during the differentiation processes. A total of 1559 genes are specifically expressed in neural cells, in which 242 genes are NSC specific, 215 are astrocyte specific, 551 are OL specific, and 563 are neuron specific. In addition, we proposed 57 transcriptional regulators specifically expressed in NSCs may play essential roles in the development courses. These findings provide more comprehensive analysis for better understanding the endogenous mechanisms of NSC fate determination.

Objective To investigate the expression of Rab11 in children with sepsis at different sta-ges and severe sepsis and its relationship with the occurrence and development of sepsis in children. Methods A prospective control study was performed. All cases were enrolled from Bao′an Maternal and Children Health Care Hospital, and they were divided into sepsis group(40 cases) who were diagnosed as sepsis, severe sepsis group(20 cases) with diagnosis of severe sepsis,and healthy control group(40 healthy chil-dren) . Venous blood samples were collected at admission,and the expression level of blood leukocyte Rab11 was determined by Western blot. In the sepsis group,the expression levels of Rab11 were evaluated at the initial,the extreme and the recovery stages of sepsis,and were compared with those in severe sepsis group and healthy control group, respectively. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between the expressions of Rab11 and the levels of some parameters in blood,including white blood cell,neu-trophils,lymphocytes,monocytes,eosinophilic granulocyte,C-reactive protein and procalcitonin in blood,at the extreme stage. Meanwhile,the levels of Rab11 at extreme stage of sepsis,caused by different diseases, such as severe pneumonia,bronchiectasis complicated pulmonary infection,biliary tract infection,urinary tract infection, necrotizing enterocolitis and severe enteric viruses infection, were compared with each other. Results At the initial and the extreme stages of sepsis, as well as in severe sepsis group,the levels of Rab11 were significantly lower than that in the healthy control group(0. 54 times,0. 23 times and 0. 07 times, P<0. 05,respectively). There were no significant differences in the expression levels of Rab11 at the recovery stages of sepsis compared with that in the healthy control group(P>0. 05). There was no relation-ship between the level of Rab11 and the number of white blood cell, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophilic granulocyte, while the level of Rab11 was negatively correlated with C-reactive protein ( r =-0. 58,P=0. 014) and procalcitonin(r= -0. 63,P=0. 003) at the extreme stage of sepsis. There was no significant difference in the expression level of Rab11,at the extreme stage of sepsis,among those patients with severe pneumonia,bronchiectasis and pulmonary infection,biliary tract infection,urinary tract infection, necrotizing enterocolitis and severe enterovirus infection(P>0. 05). Conclusion The level of Rab11 is differently expressed at different stages of sepsis,and could be used as a predictor of the severity of sepsis in children.

Objective To systematically evaluate the accuracy of computer navigation technique in the positioning of bone tunnel location of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACLR) and its effect on post-operative functional recovery.Methods The controlled trials of computer navigation-assisted ACLR in the da-tabases of Cochrane Library,PubMed,Embase,CNKI,Wanfang and VIP Database were retrieved.The retriev-al time limit was from the establishment of the database to August 2023.According to the inclusion and exclu-sion criteria,the NoteExpress V3.0 software was used to screen the literatures,the Cochrane risk bias assess-ment tool was used to evaluate the quality of the included literatures,and the RevMan5.4 software was used for conducting the meta analysis.Results A total of 10 trials involving 705 patients were included,including 354 cases in the navigation group and 351 cases in the conventional group.The meta analysis results showed that compared with the conventional group,the location positioning of bone tunnel in the navigation group was significantly improved[in femoral side (MD=5.59,95％CI:1.21-9.97,P=0.01) and tibial side (MD=1.32,95％CI:0.20-2.43,P=0.02).However there were no statistically significant differences in the IKDC scores (MD=1.76,95％CI:-0.17 to 3.70,P=0.07),Lysholm scores (MD=0.49,95％CI:-0.16 to 1.14,P=0.14),Tegner scores (MD=-0.08,95％CI:-0.35 to 0.20,P=0.58),KT-1000 anterior shift dis-tance (MD=0.01,95％CI:-0.49 to 0.52,P=0.96),the positive rate of Lachman test (RD=-0.01,95％CI:-0.09 to 0.07,P=0.75) and the positive rate of axial shift test (RD=-0.09,95％CI:-0.22 to 0.04,P=0.20).Conclusion The computer navigation technology is conducive to elevate the accuracy of tibial and femoral tunnel positioning in ACLR,but could not improve the postoperative functional recovery of the pa-tients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features in children with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and early warning indicators of severe case.Methods The case data of 101 children inpatients with IPD isolated Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) at least once blood culture in this hospital from January 2007 to De-cember 2021 were collected retrospectively.The children patients were divided into the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) group (35 cases) and general ward group (66 cases) according to whether or not entering PICU during hospitalization.The general clinical data,infection types and results of drug sensitivity test and bacteri-al strain serotype identification were compared between the two groups and analyzed.Results Compared with the general ward group,the male proportion,proportions of complicating nervous system disease and iron-defi-ciency anemia,winter incidence rate,disturbance of consciousness,convulsion,dyspnea,heart rate increase,oc-currence rate of vomiting and diarrhea,proportion of peripheral blood neutrophilic granulocytes,C reactive protein (CRP),lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L,creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) abnomality,proportions of bacterial meningitis,sepsis and severe pneumonia in the PICU group were higher,the proportion of 3-97 percentile of body weight,bronchopneumonia and no-focus blood stream infection were lower,WBC,Hb and albumin level were lower,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Eleven kinds of serotypes were identified in this study,ranking the top five in order were 6B,14,19F,23F and 19A.Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) could cover 96.9％ of the IPD sero-types.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that consciousness disturbance,convulsion,per-centage of neutrophils increase,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L and CK-MB abnormality indicated the condition of IPD children patients was critical,which was the early-warning indicator of entering PICU (P<0.05).Con-clusion Severe IPD lacks the early specific early-warning indicator,and the cover rate of PCV13 is high.

Drugs targeting immune checkpoint are used for cancer treatment, but resistance to single drug may occur. Combination therapy blocking multiple checkpoints simultaneously can improve clinical outcome. Therefore, we designed a recombinant protein rPC to block multiple targets, which consists of extracellular domains of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4). The coding sequence was inserted into expression vector and stably transfected into HEK293 cells. The culture supernatant was collected and rPC was affinity-purified. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to evaluate the expression levels of ligands for PD-1 and CTLA-4 in several human cancer cell lines. The binding of rPC with cancer cells was examined by immunofluorescence cell staining, the influence of rPC on cancer cell growth was assayed by CCK-8. The results showed that rPC could be expressed and secreted by stably transfected HEK293 cells, the purified rPC could bind to lung cancer NCI-H226 cells which have high levels of ligands for PD-1 and CTLA-4, no direct impact on cancer cell growth could be observed by rPC treatment. The recombinant protein rPC can be functionally assayed further for developing novel immunotherapeutic drugs for cancer.

ERα-36 is a novel subtype of estrogen receptor α which promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion and drug resistance, and it serves as a therapeutic target. However, only small-molecule compounds targeting ERα-36 are under development as anticancer drugs at present. Gene therapy approach targeting ERα-36 can be explored using recombinant adenovirus armed with decoy receptor. The recombinant shuttle plasmid pDC316-Ig κ-ERα-36-Fc-GFP was constructed via genetic engineering to express an Ig κ-signaling peptide-leading secretory recombinant fusion protein ERα-36-Fc. The recombinant adenovirus Ad-ERα-36-Fc-GFP was subsequently packaged, characterized and amplified using AdMax^TM adenovirus packaging system. The expression of fusion protein and functional outcome of Ad-ERα-36-Fc-GFP transduction were further analyzed with triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Results showed that the recombinant adenovirus Ad-ERα-36-Fc-GFP was successfully generated. The virus effectively infected MDA-MB-231 cells which resulted in expression and secretion of the recombinant fusion protein ERα-36-Fc, leading to significant inhibition of EGFR/ERK signaling pathway. Preparation of the recombinant adenovirus Ad-ERα-36-Fc-GFP provides a basis for further investigation on cancer gene therapy targeting ERα-36.
