Objective To investigate the immune tolerance in animal models of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) by determining the cell proliferation and activation induced cell death (AICD).Methods C57BL/6 mice were injected with 5 mg/kg of polyI:C to develope PBC models. The lymphocytes and CD4~+ T cells were separated from spleens and livers 16 weeks later and were stimulated by M2, conA and anti-CD3 for cell proliferation and AICD. Expression of apoptosis related genes and proteins were detected by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. Results ① The lymphocyte proliferation was 0.1988 ± 0.0111 in blank controls and 0. 2068±0. 0115 in PBS treated mice with no significant difference (P>0.05). However, an abundant lymphocyte proliferation was found in PBC mice (0. 358 ± 0. 022), which was higher than that in controls and PBS treated mice. The proliferation of lymphocyte from liver was greater than that from spleen in PBC mice (P<0.01). ② The apoptotic rate in blank controls (74.70%±4.58%) and PBS treated mice (74.20%±4.44%) was higher than that in PBC mice (44.85%±6.47%,P<0.01),but no difference was found between blank controls and PBS treated mice (P>0.05). Furthermore, the apoptosis rate of T cells from livers were significantly lower than that from spleens in PBC mice (P<0.01). ③ The expressions of FasL and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in PBC mice were lower than those in PBS treated mice (P<0. 01), but there was no change in expression of Fas was found. ④ The expression of Fas-associated death domain-like interleukin-1-β-converting enzyme-inhibitory protein (FLIP_L) in PBC mice was higher than that in blank controls. Moreover, the expression of FLIP_L in livers was higher than that in spleens in PBC mice (P<0. 01). Conclusios The elevated expression of FLIP_L may inhibit AICD. Besides, the decreased expressions of FasL and TRAIL may also help in the enhancement of the anti-apoptotic ability in lymphocytes and in the aggravation of portal area inflammation.

According to the subject characteristics of radiation oncology, three teaching practices were carried out in the teaching of standardized residency training: teaching situation transformation under the guidance of constructivism theory, expanding teaching with points to areas, and organ system-centered medical classroom under the guidance of case analysis. At the same time, it combines the guidance of the residents' active exploration, integrated thinking and cooperative learning. Through the modulation of teaching and learning practices guided by constructivism, the residents' learning and understanding of radiation oncology knowledge and the integration and construction ability of "organ system-centered" medical knowledge are promoted, their active learning potential and innovative thinking ability are stimulated, and finally the teaching quality of this specialty is improved.

Objective To explore the effects of rural family nursing intervention on psychological status of patients with cerebral apoplexy hemiplegia.Methods This community area was randomly divided into the intervention group and the control group, and 42 stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly selected in each group. Patients in the intervention group were given family rehabilitation nursing intervention for 12 months by community nurses who received training and evaluation, while patients in the control group received original care mode, regular blood pressure measure, and routine follow up. Patients' psychological status before and after intervention were investigated.Results After 12 months' family rehabilitation nursing intervention, the psychological status of patients in the intervention group was significantly improved, and the differences between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusions Rural family rehabilitation nursing intervention can significantly improve the psychological status of patients with stroke, promote patients' recovery, and improve the quality of life of patients.

ObjectiveTo describe the differences in imported malaria cases before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, to explore the possible impact of isolation measures during the pandemic on malaria, and to provide a basis for formulation of malaria control strategies during the prevention and control of major infectious diseases in the future. MethodsInformation on malaria cases reported in Pudong New Area from 2017 to 2022 was collected and divided into two groups: cases before the COVID-19 pandemic (2017‒2019) and cases after the COVID-19 pandemic (2020‒2022). Analysis was conducted on information such as gender, age, parasite species, country of infection, place of onset, time of onset, time of first diagnosis, time of confirmed diagnosis, hospitalization, and duration of treatment for both groups. ResultsThe pre-COVID group consisted of 21 cases, and post-COVID group consisted of 28 cases, with male and falciparum malaria predominating in both groups. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of Shanghai residency status, use of preventive measures, and adherence to standardized treatment (P<0.05). The time interval from symptom onset to first diagnosis was longer in the pre-COVID group than that in the post-COVID group (Z=-2.617, P<0.05 ). The interval from the first diagnosis to the confirmed diagnosis and duration of treatment were shorter in the pre-COVID group than that in the post-COVID group (Z=-3.381, P<0.05; Z=-4.148, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, age, malaria classification, source of infection, onset area, length of hospital stay, complications, severe cases, and interval between onset and diagnosis between the two groups (P>0.05). ConclusionAfter the outbreak of COVID-19, the medical priority plan prolongs the treatment time of malaria patients, increasing the risk of severe illness and death.
