Objective To discuss the influence of establishment of special nursing clinic on medical compliance behavior of diabetic patients. Methods We randomly selected outpatients from the endocrine department and special nursing clinic as the control group and the observation group with 100 cases in each group respectively. The condition of medical compliance behavior and blood glucose control was observed and compared in the two groups. Results The patients visiting special nursing clinic were better in medical compliance behavior and blood glucose control. Conclusions Establishment of special nursing clinic for diabetic outpatients can improve the medical compliance behavior, satisfying the requirement for disease knowledge, enhance the shaping of healthy behavior and facilitate the control of disease progress.

Objective: To analyze characteristics of virus infections in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to analyze the role of virus infection in acute exacerbations of COPD. Methods: Totally 193 patients of COPD with acute exacerbations admitted to the Hospital of Sichuan Provincial Armed Police Force from April 2015 to March 2016 were enrolled as group A, and 50 patients of COPD in stable stage in the same period were enrolled as group B. IgM antibodies to respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, influenza A virus, and influenza B virus in two groups were detected. General conditions and total virus infection rate were analyzed. Infection rates of each virus in group A were calculated. Proportion of single virus infection, two virus infections and several virus infections in group A with virus infection were calculated. Virus infection rates in different seasons in group A were also analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in age, sex, and course of disease between the two groups(P>0.05). The virus infection rate of group A was 13.47%, which was higher than that of group B(χ²=5.29, P<0.05). The most common virus found in group A was influenza B virus(infection rate 12.44%), followed by influenza A virus(infection rate 7.78%), parainfluenza virus(infection rate 7.25%), adenovirus(infection rate 2.63%), respiratory syncytial virus(infection rate 1.32%). Single virus infection accounted for 34.6% of acute exacerbation COPD patients with virus infection, and two virus infections accounted for 15.4%, and three or more virus infections accounted for 50%. Virus infection rate in summer and autumn were higher than that in winter and spring, but the differences were not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions This study showed that 14.37% of patients with acute exacerbations of COPD had viral infections, and most of them were infected with two or more viruses. Virus infection may play an important role in the acute exacerbation of COPD, and we need to pay attention to the prevention and treatment of virus infection in patients with COPD.

Central nervous system idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases (CNS-IIDD) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammatory demyelination. The disease follows a course of recurrent attacks and remission, with some cases displaying continuous progression, often resulting in disability. The incidence of CNS-IIDD has been increasing, imposing a substantial burden on both patients′ families and society in recent years. A promising strategy for disease management involves the identification of humoral biomarkers to diagnose CNS-IIDD and predict disease attack and progression. Such biomarkers could aid in identifying individuals at high risk of disability, enabling targeted preventive interventions. This study summarizes advancements in the identification of humoral biomarkers and their potential for predicting disease activity and progression to offer novel insights into the management of CNS-IIDD.

Since there is a lack of obvious clinical symptoms in the early stage of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), most patients have progressed to the advanced stage at the time of confirmed diagnosis. There are limited treatment options for HCC patients who miss the opportunity for surgery, so it is of great importance to find new therapeutic targets. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a group of macrophages existing in the tumor immune microenvironment and affect the malignant behaviors of HCC cells and the state of immune escape within the tumor. This article introduces the origin and classification of TAM, summarizes the role and mechanism of TAMs in vascular proliferation, invasion and metastasis, formation and maintenance of stemness, and anti-tumor immunity in HCC, and briefly describes the current research advances in therapeutic targets for TAM, and it is pointed out that targeting TAM may be a promising direction for clinical treatment.

Objective: To determine the first dengue fever case in Taizhou and trace probable transmission sources. Methods: Collected serum of three patients for antigen, antibody and nucleic acid detection. Dengue viruses were isolated and cultured in C6/36 cell. The whole length of E gene was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and then sequenced. The phylogenetic tree was drawn. Results: Three cases were positive in nucleic acid detection. Two cases were IgM positive. One case was NSI antigen postive. Three strains of type I dengue virus were isolated from samples. The phylogenetic trees shown that the three strains were on the same branch. The identities of nucleotide were 99.87%. The identities of amino acid were 99.6%-99.8%. Conclusions The dengue virus strains isolated in Taizhou was imported from Guangdong or Southeast Asia and caused location infection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of kinesin family member 15 （KIF15） on the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） cells and its mechanism of action. MethodsTCGA and GEPIA datasets were analyzed to determine the expression of KIF15 in HCC and its effect on tumor stage and survival. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot were used to measure the expression level of KIF15 in human-derived HCC cell lines （HepG2， Hep3B， MHCC-97H， and LM3） and human normal liver cell line L02 cultured in vitro， and Hep3B and HepG2 were selected for subsequent studies. CCK-8 assay， plate colony formation assay， and EdU staining were performed for Hep3B cells transfected with shRNA-NC or shRNA-KIF15 and HepG2 cells transfected with LV-vector or LV-KIF15 to evaluate the viability and proliferative capacity of these cells. GSEA was used to analyze the potential signaling pathways associated with KIF15 in HCC， and Western blot was used for detection. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups； a one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups， and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsThe analysis of TCGA and GEPIA datasets showed that in HCC patients， the expression of KIF15 in HCC tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissue， and the HCC patients with high KIF15 expression tended to have a poorer prognosis. Compared with sh-NC-Hep3B， sh3-Hep3B showed significant reductions in the mRNA and protein levels of KIF15 （P<0.05）， cell viability， clone formation number， and EdU positive rate （all P<0.05）. Compared with vector-HepG2， LV-KIF15-HepG2 showed significant increases in the mRNA and protein levels of KIF15 （P<0.05）， cell viability， clone formation number， and EdU positive rate （all P<0.05）. Subcutaneous tumor assay showed that compared with sh-NC-Hep3B， sh3-Hep3B showed reductions in tumor volume and tumor weight， as well as a significant reduction in the immunohistochemical score of Ki67 and a significant increase in the immunohistochemical score of TUNEL （P<0.05）. GSEA analysis showed that the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was positively correlated with KIF15 in HCC （NES=1.59， P<0.001）. Western blot showed that LY294002 could inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway upregulated in LV-KIF15-HepG2， and compared with LV-KIF15-HepG2， LY294002+LV-KIF15-HepG2 showed significant reductions in cell viability， clone formation number， and EdU positive rate （all P<0.05）. ConclusionKIF15 enhances the viability and proliferative capacity of HCC cells by upregulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
