Objective To investigate the inhibition mechanism of sodium selenite on HCT116 cells.Methods In the present study,we explored the cytotoxicity induced by sodium selenite and the underlying mechanism by MTS assay,WesternBlot,and small RNA interference technique.Results It was found that the sodium selenite at 5uM concentration could indeed reduce the viability of colon cancer cell line HCT116 by a large margin through increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS),and that the increased levels of ROS could activate c-Jun Nh2-terninal kinase 1 (JNK1).Additionally,knockdown expression of JNK1 or p53 by using RNAi attenuated the cytotoxicity induced by sodium selenite,indicating that both of JNK1 and p53 are required in the process of cell death induced by sodium selenite.Conclusion The sodium selenite could induces cell death in HCT116 through oxidative stress by involvement of JNK1 and p53,both of which play a critical role in toxicity of sodium selenite.

Objective To investigate the manifestation strategies of emotional labor and current status of emotional intelligence,further to discuss their correlation. Methods Investigation was carried out in 341 nurses by emotional labor scale(El.S) and emotional intelligence scale(EIS) and the results underwent analysis. Results In the aspect of emotional labor,nurses preferred natural manifestation instead of surface manifestation strategy.Nurses had strong ability of understanding and emotional control (P<0.01) but weak perceptual emotional ability(P<0.01).Emotional intelligence had higher predictive power for natural and inner presentation(P<0.01),but was no related with surface manifestation(P>0.05). Conclusions Different correlation existed between various manifestation strategies of emotional labor and emotional intelligence.Improvement of emotional intelligence can facilitate the application of natural manifestation and inner presentation.

Objective To report 2 cases of Fabry disease with early-onset ischemic stroke and investigate the clinical and image features. Methods The 2 patients developed dizziness, diplopia and progressive memory decline at 32 and 25 years of age respectively. The α-galactosidase A (GLA)activity was 4. 3 U in case 1 and 1. 0 U in case 2 ( normal range 100-500 U). Skin biopsy showed numerous membrane bounded osmiophilic laminar material in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. GLA gene analysis revealed GLA exon 7 1033-1034 TC del in case 1 and GLA exon 3 466G > A in case 2. The 2 patients were evaluated by Mainz severity score index (MSSI) and cranial MRI. Results The general MSSI was 32 in case 1 and 16 in case 2, with the highest score of neurological score ( 11 and 14). Both cases showed multifocal infarcts in bilateral cerebellum, occipital lobe, basal ganglia, which were hypointensity on T1 WI and hyperintensity on T2WI. There were hyperintensity changes in the pulvinar and basal ganglia on T1 WI in case 2. Conclusions Cerebral ischemic stroke could appear as initial symptoms in Fabry disease,which predominantly involved the posterior circulation. There might be no dilation of basal-vertebral artery.
