Objective To improve the gene targeting efficiency with C57BL/6 embryonic stem ( ES) cells.Meth-ods Three different genetically modified C57BL/6 ES cell lines, named TLX3, Ai3K and SL, were microinjected into ICR, B6( Cg)-Tyrc-2J and BALB/c mouse blastocysts, respectively.The efficiency was statistically evaluated according to three aspects:blastocyst collection, chimera production and germline transmission.Results None of the three ES cell lines was germline transmitted with B6(Cg)-Tyrc-2J mice as blastocyst donors, while it was achieved with both BALB/c and ICR mouse blastocysts.Compared in the aspect of blastocysts collection, ICR mouse was much better than BALB/c mouse (P<0.05), and the chimera production efficiency of ICR mouse was comparable to that of BALB/c mouse (P =0.115). As to the germline transmission efficiency, that of BALB/c mice is significantly higher than that of the ICR mice ( P<0.01).Conclusions The germline transmission efficiency of BALB/c mouse is highest among these three mouse strains. However, it has the disadvantages of blastocyst collection, developmental delay and zona pellucida fragility, compared with ICR mouse.Therefore, ICR mouse is also a good candidate as blastocyst donor for embryonic stem cell microinjection.

Objective:To explore the current situation of turnover intention of male nurses in Shanghai and its influencing factors.Methods:From March 2017 and August 2017, this study selected 349 male nurses at all levels of hospitals in Shanghai by snowball sampling to carry out questionnaire survey through internet questionnaire distribution platform. The questionnaire consisted of the General Demographic Characteristics, Turnover Intention Scale (TIS) , Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) and the Organization Commitment Scale.Results:Among 349 male nurses in Shanghai, the score of turnover intention was (15.43±3.48) , 274 of them were with a high level of turnover intention accounting for 78.49%. There were statistical differences in the scores of turnover intention among male nurses with different positional titles and night shifts ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the important influencing factors of turnover intention of male nurses included the emotional burnout, emotional commitment, ideal commitment and economic commitment, in which the emotional burnout was the strongest predictor and the emotional commitment was the strongest protective factor. Conclusions:The turnover intention of male nurses is in the high level. The important influencing factors of turnover intention of male nurses include the job burnout and organizational commitment except for positional titles and night shifts. Nursing managers should pay attention to the cultivation of emotions for hospital and profession among male nurses so as to reduce male nurses' turnover intention and stabilize the male nursing team.

Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury(CIR1)refers to the recovery of blood supply after cerebral ischemia,which leads to further damage and the dysfunction of brain tissue.Modern medicine has made some progress in the prevention and treatment of CIRI,but it still faces some challenges and limitations.Therefore,it is of great clinical value to find effective interventions to prevent and treat CIRI.AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)and its downstream proteins are important targets for the treatment of CIRI and play key roles in the regulation of cellular energy homeostasis.Traditional Chinese medicine for CIRI has multi-target and multi-pathway activities and multiple effects.It can activate a cascade of reactions in the AMPK signaling pathway and can be used to treat CIRI by regulating autophagy,oxidative stress,inflammatory response,and apoptosis,and has achieved certain result.Therefore,this paper summarizes the structure and mechanisms of the AMPK-related signaling pathway,elaborates on its relationship with CIRI,and systematically summarizes the research status of traditional Chinese medicine's ability to regulate the AMPK signaling pathway in the prevention and treatment of CIRI.This paper aims to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of CIRI using traditional Chinese medicine and the development of new drugs.

Cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a secondary brain injury that may occur in patients with ischemic stroke during the process of blood flow recovery. NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays an important role in the occurrence and development of CIRI. Regulating the activity of NLRP3 inflammasome can induce cell pyroptosis, induce neuroinflammatory response, promote macrophage/microglial polarization, destroy the blood-brain barrier, affect angiogenesis and neurogenesis, thereby affecting CIRI. Traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in the treatment of CIRI. In this paper, with NLRP3 inflammasome as the core, we systematically elucidated the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicines on CIRI, and found that traditional Chinese medicines monomers (such as baicalin, polygalasaponin F) and traditional Chinese medicines compound formulas (such as Huangqi guizhi wuwu decoction, Yiqi shengqing formulation) can inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activity, reduce inflammatory response and oxidative stress, and improve neuronal injury, thereby reducing CIRI.
