AIM: To observe the mRNA expressions of Insulin-induced gene 2(Insig-2) and Vitamin D receptor(VDR) in HepG2 cell line and investigate the possible mechanism of berberine on regulating blood lipid. METHODS: HepG2 cells were incubated with Bet at different concentrations(1,3,10,30,100 ?mol/L),and incubated with 3 ?mol/L berberine for various times(0,12,24,48,72 h).Total RNA was extracted and the mRNA expressions of Insig-2 and VDR from HepG2 cells treated by berberine were quantified by RT-PCR.(RESULTS): After exposure to gradient concentrations of berberine for 24 h,the mRNA expressions of Insig-2 and VDR in HepG2 cells increased obviously peaked at 3 ?mol/L concentration,then the up-regulating effect declined gradually.The relative coefficient between them was(0.753)(P

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease, which is characterized by synovial inflammation. Hyperplasia sublining macrophages found in synovium is an early hallmark of RA and effective treatment results in their diminution. However, the origin of these sublining macrophages in synovium (including infiltrated macrophages and tissue-resident macrophages) are still unknown both in animal models of arthritis and RA patients, let alone the differences and feature of these macro?phages. In rheumatic synovium, macrophages are submitted to a large variety of micro-environmental signals which influence the phenotypic polarization and activation of macrophages. Understanding the mechanisms and functional consequences of the heterogeneous macrophages will contribute to confirm their potential role in synovial inflammation development. Furthermore, research on macrophage plasticity to soft-control their phenotypic polarization could lead to novel therapeutic approaches.

As a young discipline imported from the West,Chinese bioethics has made tremendous achievements in the last three decades.However,at the same time,there are also certain confusions about its ideaistic origins and academic development.Observing the trends in the growth of western bioethics and the changes in the contemporary real social life,we can see that it is the time to break the current bottleneck for the contemporary development of Chinese bioethics.Specifically,Chinese bioethics should shift its attention to the quality of life,and manifests its thought depth and academic value through reflecting the reality.Advancing with the times,the bioethics is bound to have a brighter future.

Objective To observe the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on the expression of growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in rats after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods The SCI models were made by impacting at the level of T11 segment. After modeling, the rats were randomly and equally divided into control group (n=18) and observation group (n=18). 1 week after injury, DMEM/F12 medium 0.1 ml was injected into tail vein of rats in the control group, and an equal volume of BMSCs suspension was injected in the observation group. 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after SCI, the hindlimb function was evaluated by the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score. 2, 4, 8 weeks after SCI, the expression of GAP-43 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, and the expression of GAP-43 was detect-ed by the immunohistochemistry. Results 2, 4, 8 weeks after SCI, compared with the control group, The BBB score increased, the expres-sion of GAP-43 mRNA and GAP-43 increased in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion BMSCs transplantation can improve the ex-pression of GAP-43 in gene and protein level, and then promote the repair of SCI.

Objective:To establish a mouse fibroblastic cell line stably transfected with HMGA1 gene,and to use the cell line to investigate the role of HMGA1 in tumor development and progression.Methods:Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.0-HMGA1 was transfected into NIH3T3 by lipofectamine-mediation.Stable transfectants were selected by G418.The expression of extraneous HMGA1 gene was analyzed by RT-PCR and DNA sequencing.Cell growth was measured through MTT and the cell cycle by FCM.Soft agar colony formation was employed to analyze the ability of anchorage-independent growth.The expression of the immune inhibition factors of VEGF and FasL mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Results:NIH3T3 cell lines stably expressing HMGA1 gene were successfully established.Comparing with controls,the HMGA1 gene-transfected cells grew faster,acquired the ability of anchorage-independent growth and expressed the immune inhibition factors of VEGF and FasL mRNA.Conclusion:Extraneous expression of HMGA1 gene can induce malignant transformation of NIH3T3 and modulate mRNA expression of immune inhibition factors.HMGA1 gene plays a key role in tumor development,progression and immune escape.

Objective By reviewing the relevant literature, we explored the current status and problems of the evaluation of the training effectiveness, and put forward the corresponding countermeasures, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the effect evaluation of nurse training in China. Methods By searching Citation online search and integration system (CITE), the Chinese biomedical literature service system (CBM), we included the literatures on the effect evaluation of the nurses training in the core journals from January 2006 to November 2015. Retrieval literatures were imported the bibliographic management software Note express by database. The corresponding field were analyzed in the literature′s age distribution, evaluation object, evaluation model, evaluation method, evaluation index and evaluation tool, et al. Results There were 343 literatures had retrieved, the total number of literatures presented a increasing tendency. The evaluation methods, evaluation tools and evaluation indicators presented a tendency of diversity, and the evaluation model was relatively single. Only 16 (4.7%) literatures tried to construct the training effect evaluation system of nurses, which was not based on some theory or hypothesis, which had not been effectively put into practice. Conclusion The effect evaluation system of nurse training needed to be done in depth, such as reconstruction of the new training evaluation model, the establishment of training evaluation system of different professional, different levels, different positions, to research evaluation methods, evaluation criteria and clinical practice testing, to design, training evaluation management software etc.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and medicine for the treatment of chronic pharyngitis. Methods Sixty chronic pharyngitis patients were randomized into treatment group and control group, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture mainly on acupoints of Zhaohai(KI6), Lieque(L7), Tiantu(CV22) , Lianquan(CV23), Tianrong(SI17) , Hegu(LI), Yuji (LU10) for nourishing yin to reduce fire and clearing throat. The supplementary acupoints were selected according to the symptoms and physical signs. Acupuncture was performed once a day and 6 times a week. The control group received western medical therapy including pharyngeal application with 1% iodine glycerin preparation and oral use of Cydiodine tablets, 3 times per day. Four weeks constituted one treatment course and the treatment for the two groups covered 2 courses. After treatment, the therapeutic effect was evaluated. The scores of the signs and s ymptoms as well as scores of chronic pharyngitis syndrome discomfort rating questionnaire(CPSDQ) evaluated by visual anal og scale(VAS) were observed. Results (1) The overall effective rate of the treatment group was 93.3%, higher than that of the control group(73.3%), and the inter-group difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). (2) After treatment, scores of the signs and symptoms and VAS for CPSDQ scores in the two groups were reduced as compared with those before treatment(all P<0.05 or P<0.01 ) .The improvement of the scores in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group(all P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3) During the treatment , needling-induced mild pain and bleeding occurred in the treatment group. No acupuncture syncope, stuck needles or allergic and toxic-side effect was shown in the two groups. Conclusion Acupuncture therapy can obviously relieve the symptoms, signs and discomfort in the patients with chronic pharyngitis, and the curative effect is superior to the drugs.
