Objective To investigate the effects of tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α ) on the resensitization of human lung cancer cell lines A549/DDP to cisplatin (DDP) and to explore the relationship between the expression of TNF-αand resistance-related protein (LRP) in lung tissue.Methods The cytotoxic effects of combinational treatment by TNF-α and cisplatin on A549/DDP were measured by MTT assay.The expression of LRP was assessed by immunocytochemistry methods.Results The IC50 of A549/DDP to cisplatin were decreased from 7.12 ng/L to 5.02 ng/L,4.41 ng/L respectively by 250 U/ml and 1000 U/ml TNF-α treatment ( P < 0.01 ),with the sensitivity of A549/DDP to cisplatin increased by 1.42 and 1.62 fold respectively.LRP was overexpressed in A549/DDP cell.250 U/ml or 1000 U/ml TNF-α plus cisplatin treatment down-regulated the expression of LRP with the positive rates of ( 60.14 ± 6.54 ) % and ( 57.23 ± 5.98 ) %respectively,which were significantly lower than that of cisplatin alone treatment ( 75.97 ± 5.32 ) % and control group (79.63 ± 4.78 ) % ( both P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Tumor necrosis factor-α can reverse the resistance of A549/DDP to cisplatin,which may be partially attributed to down-regulating LRP expression.

This study attempts to use the safety training observation program to implement behavior safety management for pediatric nursing students.The program consists of the following:the selection of outstanding teaching staff,the implementation of teaching access;intensive training contents and evaluation process;the implementation of on-site observation management;the objective and real-time records of operation behavior and state and the correction and improvement of unsafe behaviorduringoperation.The results showed that the nursing students have a positive attitude to the behavior safety training observation.After the implementation ofsafety observation program,the incidence of adverse events and sharp instrument injury weresignificantly reduced,and the accuracy in the execution of hand hygieneand in the technical operation wereincreased significantly.It shows that applying safety training observation method to clinical practice of nursing students can helpthem improve the standardized operation and risk avoidance ability,and promote the safety of clinical teaching.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcome of pregnancy combine with cerebral cavernous malforma-tion(CCM),and to investigate the management during perinatal period of pregnancy combine with CCM.Methods A total of 15 cases of pregnancy combine with CCM were admitted to Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University from August 2015 to August 2022.A ret-rospective analysis was performed on the data.Results The 15 patients had a total of 16 pregnancies and CCM were found in pre-preg-nancy examination.The initial manifestations were epilepsy in 5 cases,sudden headache in 4 cases,headache due to cerebral hemorrhage in 1 case,transient syncope in 1 case,ataxia in 1 case and no clinical symptoms in 3 cases.Among the clinical manifestations of epilep-sy,4 patients were relieved or disappeared after treated by operation or radiotherapy before pregnancy,1 patient without treatment had fre-quent seizures during pregnancy and disappeared after increasing drug dosage.No new cases of operation and cerebral hemorrhage during pregnancy.3 cases had vaginal delivery and 11 cases selected cesarean section after 37 weeks of labor and 1 case required termination of pregnancy at the week of 18 weeks.1 patient suffered status epilepticus after postpartum,and the remaining cases were healthy.Conclu-sion Pregnancy combine with CCM needs multi-disciplinary team(MDT)management.Pregnancy may increase the risk of epilepsy.Risk assessment should be performed by neurosurgery department before pregnancy,and antiepileptic drugs should be adjusted during pregnancy,Close monitoring after delivery is also important.The mode of delivery is decided after discussion and evaluation by the MDT team composed of obstetrics,neurology,anesthesiology and maternal-fetal medicine.
