The study was aimed to assess the effect of Klotho gene and sinoatrial node pacing channel gene (HCN4 and HCN2) for studying sick sinus syndrome, with Klotho gene under the interference of Plasmid-mediated short hairpin RNA. Twenty-five C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups, i. e, plasmid shRNA 24h group, plasmid shRNA 12h group, sodium chloride 24h group and sodium chloride 12h group. Plasmid shRNA 50microL (1microg/microL) and sodium chloride 50microl were respectively injected according to mice vena caudalis into those in plasmid shRNA group and sodium chloride group. After 12h or 24h respectively, all mice were executed and their sinoatrial node tissues were cut. The mRNA of Klotho, HCN4 and HCN2 gene were detected by RT-PCR. The results of RT-PCR showed that Klotho, HCN4 and HCN2 mRNA levels were lower compared with those in sodium chloride 12h group after 12h interference interval. The results indicated that there might be the a certain relationship between Klotho gene and sinoatrial node pacing channel gene.

Objective To analyze the first degree relatives of schizophrenia cognitive function damage degree and range, and make reasonable cognitive behavior intervention program. Methods Prospective selected 108 patients in Palit Provincial Hospital who were diagnosed with schizophrenia as the patient group, selected the same period first-degree relatives of patients with 108 cases as the kinship group, another 108 healthy volunteers were recruited to the normal group, compare and analyze the detection results of cognitive function of schizophrenia complete sets of test ing-consensus Version (MCCB) between the three groups and accordingly develope targeted cognitive interventions. Results Of all the 10 test of MCCB, the difference in verbal fluency between three groups was not significant (P>0.05),the remaining nine scores all had statistically significant difference(P<0.05)among three groups. There were sta-tistically significant differences(P<0.05) in all eight scores except continuous operational capability and verbal fluency between kin group and normal group,the differences in the spatial extent,symbol coding, maze,continuous operation ability were significant(P<0.05) between kin group and patients group. Conclusion First-degree relatives of patients with schizophrenia prevalence of cognitive impairment,cognitive behavior reasonable intervention can improve patients cognitive function level,improve the quality of life.

A 11-year old female patient with severe thalassemia, receipt a lentivirus-based cell and gene therapy (CGT) therapy in Shenzhen Children′s Hosptial on July 27th, 2021. At the two follow-up visits after discharge, patient were continuously tested positive for HIV screening through HIV Ag/Ab Combo assay (chemiluminescence Immunoassay), and the viral load results of HIV-1 nucleic acid testing (NAT) were both>5 000 copies/ml. The patient can be diagnosed with HIV infection according to the National Guideline for Detection of HIV/AIDS(2020 Revised Edition). The thorough investigation findings and supplementary experiment results indicated that the false-positive HIV-1 NAT results was caused by cross-reactivity between the target sites detected by conventional HIV-1 NAT reagents and the lentiviral vectors fragments integrated into the genome of patient′s hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. In conclusion, it is important for laboratories to select appropriate HIV-1 NAT testing platforms which won′t cause cross-reactivity for the testing of samples from patients who have been treated with HIV-derived vectors. It is also recommended to design and develop NAT testing platforms with multiple target regions labeled by different fluorescents for HIV NAT supplementation experiment to reduce the risk of false-positive diagnoses of HIV infection.
