AIM: To investigate the signaling mechanisms involved in the priming effects of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) on heat killed Staphylococcus aureus(HKSa)-induced nitric oxide(NO) production in macrophages.METHODS: Murine macrophage RAW264.7 was used in the experiment.Griess reagent was used to measure the content of nitrite in culture medium.Real-time PCR and Western blot was utilized to examine the mRNA and protein levels of toll-like receptor 2(TLR2),respectively.Dual luciferase reporter assay was used to assess the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor of activated T cells(NF-AT).RESULTS: The RAW264.7 cells pretreated with LPS for 24 h significantly enhanced NO production induced by HKSa,suggesting that LPS primed the macrophages and increased the reactivity of the cells to HKSa.LPS increased the mRNA and protein levels of TLR2 in a dose-dependent manner in RAW264.7 cells.The RAW264.7 cells pretreated with LPS enhanced NO production induced by peptidoglycan,one of the specific ligand of TLR2.The priming effect of LPS on HKSa-induced NO production was partly blocked by TLR2 neutralizing antibody.LPS significantly enhanced the transcriptional activity of NF-AT,which was inhibited by BAPTA/AM(a cell-permeable cytosolic calcium chelator) and cyclosporine A(CsA,an inhibitor for calcineurin).Both BAPTA/AM and CsA inhibited the priming effect of LPS on HKSa-induced NO production in RAW264.7 cells.CONCLUSION: The present study confirms the priming effect of LPS on the reactivity of RAW264.7 cells to HKSa.Pattern recognition receptor TLR2 and calcium/calcineurin/NF-AT signaling pathway may be involved in the priming process initiated by LPS.

Objective To investigate the effects of the multidisciplinary cooperative management intervention model on the self‐management efficacy of patients with ileostomy irritant dermatitis. Methods Among the patients with irritative dermatitis in the ileostomy section of the Anorectal Surgery and Ostomy Clinic of Hwamei Hospital, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, 72 patients, who visited the clinic from August 2016 to August 2018, met the inclusion criteria and were finally included in the study. According to the random number table method, 36 patients each were assigned to the control and observation groups respectively. There were no significant differences in age, sex and education between the two cohorts. The control groups were compared. The control group was treated with routine nursing methods. The observation group underwent multidisciplinary nursing intervention that was based on the routine measures of the control group. The Chinese version of the cancer self‐management efficacy was used as the questionnaire survey that was administered before and after treatment. The results were compared and analyzed between the patient groups. The independent sample t‐test was used to compare the results between the groups, and the paired sample t‐test was used for intra‐group comparisons. Results After intervention, the total scores of self‐management efficacy and positive attitude, self‐decompression and self‐decision scores were higher in the observation group than in the control group (t=4.192, 3.095, 4.123, 2.267, P<0.05). The scores of self‐administration efficacy and each dimension of the two groups were higher than those before intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). After the intervention, 3 patients (10.0%) in the observation group with recurrent dermatitis and 13 patients (43.3%) in the control group. The recurrence rate of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (χ2= 8.357, P<0.05). Conclusion Multidisciplinary cooperative management can improve the self‐management efficacy of patients with irritating dermatitis and reduce the incidence of this condition.
