A real-time polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) micro total analysis system (μ-TAS ) integrated nucleic acid extraction, PCR amplification and real-time-fluorescent PCR detection on a same microfluidic chip was prepared for the fully automated and on-chip analysis of nucleic acid. The proposed method had the advantage such as low sample consumption, fast analysis and simple operation and so on. Micromachining technology was used to fabricate the anodic molds of integrated nucleic acid extraction microfluidic chip. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate with 3D channels was manufactured by a combination of molds and an injection molding method. The glass substrate and the chip were bonded together using a plasma treatment. The μ-TAS included a microfluidic control device whose micro fluidic velocity ( 0-10 mL/min ) could be adjusted, a TEC platform which the precision of temperature control was 0. 1℃ and a CCD detection module. The DNA of human blood was extracted by using a silica gel membrane method on the microfluidic chip. The processes of DNA extraction and detection were preset in the μ-TAS. Human blood lysate ( 20 μL ) were driven to the extraction chamber and was then washed. The fluidic drive speed was 2 mL/min. DNA and PCR reagents were mixed and then were driven into the PCR chamber. The fluidic drive speed was 1 mL/min. The GAPDH gene in extracted genome DNA was amplified by PCR and detected. The amplified product was verified by melting analysis. The results of nucleic acid extraction method on the chip were compared to those obtained using a standard manual centrifuge extraction method. The amplification curves were obvious. Ct values of the chip method were 25 . 3 and 26 . 9 . The denaturation temperature of all the melting was 89 . 9 ℃. The results validated that the chip-based method and device realized the extraction of nucleic acid, amplification and detection automatically.

Objective To investigate the regulation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α-induced protein 8-like 2 (TNFAIP8L2, TIPE2) in the peripheral blood-derived macrophages of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Methods The expression of TIPE2 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and macrophages from SLE patients were detected by Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The TIPE2 protein levels in SLE PBMCs and peripheral blood-derived macrophages were detected by western blot, flow cytometry and immunofluorescence staining, respec-tively. Data were analyzed by t test and Spearman correlation analysis. Results The TIPE2 mRNA expres-sion in PBMCs of SLE patients was significantly lower than that of healthy controls [(0.41 ±0.14) vs (1.06±0.39), t=5.376, P<0.01], as well as the TIPE2 protein level [(0.40 ±0.21) vs (1.09 ±0.26), t=2.963, P<0.05]. The expression of TIPE2 mRNA in peripheral blood-derived macrophages from SLE patients was significantly decreased [(0.56±0.24) vs (1.07±0.38), t=5.203, P<0.01). Moreover, TIPE2 mRNA level of peripheral blood-derived macrophages was negatively correlated with systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) score (r=-0.60, P<0.01), 24-hour urinary protein (r=-0.46, P<0.05) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (r=-0.46, P<0.05) in SLE patients. The percentage of TIPE2+cells in peripheral blood-derived macrophages (TIPE2+/CD14+)％ from SLE patients was significantly lower than that in healthy controls [(51.4 ±18.5)％ vs (82.4 ±7.5)％, t=2.679, P<0.05]. After 24 hours co-cultured with MSCs, the TIPE2 mRNA expression in SLE per-ipheral blood-derived macrophages was significantly increased [(2.2 ±0.7) vs (1.0 ±0.3), t=3.729, P<0.05). Immunofluorescence results showed the same increase of TIPE2 protein in SLE peripheral blood-derived macrophages [(0.112 ±0.020) vs (0.074 ±0.016), t=3.268, P<0.05]. Conclusion The TIPE2 level in peripheral blood-derived macrophages of SLE patients are decreased. MSCs upregulate the TIPE2 expression in vitro, suggesting that TIPE2 can be a new target for MSCs in the treatment of SLE.

Objective:To understand the current situation of nurses' willingness to engage in telecare in county-level hospitals in Henan Province and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 1 300 clinical nurses from 6 Class Ⅱ Grade A county-level hospitals in Zhengzhou, Hebi, Zhoukou and other cities in Henan Province were selected as the research objects from August 2022 to January 2023. General Data Questionnaire and Clinical Nurses' Willingness to Engage in Telecare Questionnaire were used to investigate the research objects. Non-parametric test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of clinical nurses' willingness to engage in telecare.Results:A total of 1 300 questionnaires were sent out in this study, and 1 183 were effectively collected, with an effective recovery rate of 91.00% (1 183/1 300). The total score of Clinical Nurses' Willingness to Engage in Telecare Questionnaire of 1 183 nurses in county-level hospitals was [105.00 (98.00, 112.00) ] points, and all items were scored [3.50 (3.27, 3.73) ]. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that professional title, post, whether they knew about telecare, and the number of times of receiving training on nursing information each year were the influencing factors of nurses' willingness to engage in telecare in county-level hospitals ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:In Henan Province, 1 183 nurses in county-level hospitals have a high willingness to engage in telecare. Relevant departments should further strengthen the publicity of relevant contents of telecare, carry out practical operation training related to nursing information, improve the nursing information ability of nurses in county-level hospitals and strengthen the awareness of health management services, so as to promote the successful implementation of telecare services in rural areas.

The lung is one of the most common sites for cancer metastasis. Collagens in the lung provide a permissive microenvironment that supports the colonization and outgrowth of disseminated tumor cells. Therefore, down-regulating the production of collagens may contribute to the inhibition of lung metastasis. It has been suggested that miR-29 exhibits effective anti-fibrotic activity by negatively regulating the expression of collagens. Indeed, our clinical lung tumor data shows that miR-29a-3p expression negatively correlates with collagen I expression in lung tumors and positively correlates with patients' outcomes. However, suitable carriers need to be selected to deliver this therapeutic miRNA to the lungs. In this study, we found that the chemotherapy drug cisplatin facilitated miR-29a-3p accumulation in the exosomes of lung tumor cells, and this type of exosomes exhibited a specific lung-targeting effect and promising collagen down-regulation. To scale up the preparation and simplify the delivery system, we designed a lung-targeting liposomal nanovesicle (by adjusting the molar ratio of DOTAP/cholesterol-miRNAs to 4:1) to carry miR-29a-3p and mimic the exosomes. This liposomal nanovesicle delivery system significantly down-regulated collagen I secretion by lung fibroblasts in vivo, thus alleviating the establishment of a pro-metastatic environment for circulating lung tumor cells.
