This study examined the effects of Bangdeyun on the expressions of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the endometrium of mice with embryo implantation dysfunction (EID) during the implantation time (namely on pregnancy day 5, 6, 7 and 8) and explored the local immune regulatory effects of Bangdeyun. The gestational mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group and Bangdeyun-treated group. EID models of mice were established by using indomethacin. The endometrial expression of NF-kappaB was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. IFN-gamma and IL-10 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that in the normal group, NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were weakly expressed and IL-10 was strongly expressed in the endometrium during the whole implantation period. In the model group, the expressions of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were increased on pregnancy day 5, 6 and 7, and IL-10 expression decreased during the whole implantation time when compared with those in the normal group (P<0.01 for all). In the Bangdeyun-treated group, little amount of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma was expressed and IL-10 expression was strong, much the way they were expressed in the normal group (P>0.05). The expressions of NF-kappaB and IFN-gamma were much lower in the Bangdeyun-treated group than those in the model group on pregnancy day 5, 6 and 7 (P<0.01 for all), while the expression of IL-10 was much higher than in the model group during the whole implantation time (P<0.01). It was suggested Bangderun may favor a shift from Th1- to Th2-type immune response, therefore inhibiting the maternal immune rejection, inducing the immune tolerance and improving the fetal implantation.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of HPV detection in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary site.Methods:Clinical data of 6 patients who were initially diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary site and eventually diagnosed with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were collected, and the process of diagnosis was analyzed.Results:Upon the initial admission, all patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis with positive p16 expression, positive HPV-16 subtype and negative EBER expression. No obvious primary lesion was found after comprehensive examination. Subsequently, four of them underwent ipsilateral tonsollar blind biopsy ( n=2) and ipsilateral tonsillectomy ( n=2). All these four patients were pathologically diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. For the other two cases, MRI detected the thickening complicated with enhancement of ipsilateral wall of oropharynx and tongue root after follow-up for D149 and D545 , respectively. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil and tongue root, respectively. Conclusion:For patients with HPV-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary site, the possibility that the primary lesion originates from the oropharyngeal site, especially the tonsil and tongue root, should be highly suspected.

Synechocystis sp.PCC 6803(hereafter:Synechocystis)is a model organism for studying photosynthesis,energy metabolism,and environmental stress.Although known as the first fully sequenced phototrophic organism,Synechocystis still has almost half of its proteome without func-tional annotations.In this study,by using co-fractionation coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS),we define 291 multi-protein complexes,encompassing 24,092 protein-protein interactions(PPIs)among 2062 distinct gene products.This information not only reveals the roles of photosynthesis in metabolism,cell motility,DNA repair,cell division,and other physiological processes,but also shows how protein functions vary from bacteria to higher plants due to changes in interaction partners.It also allows us to uncover the functions of hypothetical proteins,such as S110445,S110446,and S110447 involved in photosynthesis and cell motility,and Sill 334 involved in regulation of fatty acid biogenesis.Here we present the most exten-sive PPI data for Synechocystis so far,which provide critical insights into fundamental molecular mechanisms in cyanobacteria.

Objective To understand the real experience of ward nurses on division of labor and management of ward work.Methods A total of 13 ward nurses were interviewed in depth with the phenomenology method in qualitative research to understand the experience of ward nurses on division of labor and management of ward work. And then, we sorted out the data, refined theme and analyzed the data. Results A total of three positive themes were refined including a high degree of recognition, a heavy sense of responsibility, a great benefit in division of labor and management. Another three negative themes were also refined involving the uneven content, a lack of team strength, different difficulties in implementation in division of labor and management. Conclusions Division of labor and management can ensure that the ward work is operated effectively and improve personal ability. However, there also exist shortcomings. Therefore, nursing managers should attach importance to the malpractices so as to improve and perfect them.

Objective:To understand the current situation of the construction of provincial level and above gerontological nurse specialists (GNSs) training bases in China, including the establishment of bases, training program settings, admission criteria for GNSs, and requirements for training teachers, so as to provide reference for optimizing the training of GNSs.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional survey. From August to October 2021, a self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the geriatric nursing committees of nursing associations at provincial level and above. A total of 32 electronic questionnaires were distributed to nursing associations in 31 provinces/autonomous regions/municipalities directly under the Central Government and the Geriatric Nursing Committee of the Chinese Nursing Association, and 32 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 100.0% (32/32) .Results:In China, 25 nursing associations at or above the provincial level set up training bases for GNSs, and about 3 400 GNSs were trained. 80.0% (20/25) of training bases required a minimum education level of tertiary education and a minimum professional title of junior nurse for GNS trainees. 64.0% (16/25) of training bases required a minimum of 5 working years for GNS trainees. More than half of the training bases required training teachers with a bachelor's degree or above, and a professional title of supervisor nurse or above.Conclusions:The training base for GNSs in China is in a stage of exploration and rapid development. The training system, student admission criteria, and teacher requirements for GNSs among various training bases have not yet formed a unified standard, and further standardization are needed.

Unroofed coronary sinus syndrome (UCSS), also named coronary sinus septal defect, is a rare type of atrial septal defect with the incidence less than 1% of the total number of atrial septal defects. It is caused by incomplete formation of left atrial venous folds during embryonic development. Here we reported a patient with UCSS, who was treated in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University. The patient was 50 years old and the main clinical manifestations were fatigue and shortness of breath after repeated exercise. Color Doppler echocardiography showed coronary sinus dilatation (17 mm×14 mm), indicating the possibility of permanent left superior vena cava. Pulmonary angiography showed that the left ventricle and coronary sinus were developed at the same time while the atrial septum was intact after the development of the left atrium, followed by the right atrium and right ventricle, indicating a partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (intracardiac type). Finally, the cardiac computed tomograhic angiography showed that 4 pulmonary veins and permanent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) went into the left atrium and the coronary sinus, respectively, while the coronary sinus septum was absent and the PLSVC was connected with the left atrium. The patient was later treated with the correction of non-parietal sinus syndrome in the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of our hospital.
