Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of using magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (pll-DCIONP) with poly-L-lysine modified surface as wild type p 53 gene carrier for transfection of lung cancer cells in vitro. Methods: The dextran-coated iron oxide nanoparticles (DCIONP) were synthesized with chemical precipitation method. The surface of DCIONP was modified by self-assembled poly-L-lysine to form particle complexes (pll-DCIONP). The configuration of pll-DCIONP was detected by scanning electron microscope. The diameter, size distribution and Zeta surface potential of pll-DCIONP was detected by Laser Particle Size Analyzer. The potential of adsorbing wt-p 53 gene and resisting DNase- I and blood serum digestion of pll-DCIONP/wt-p53 complex were analyzed by spectrophotometer and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. The pll-DCIONP was evaluated as a kind of wt-p53 gene carrier and transfected into human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549/DDP in vitro. The mRNA and protein expression of intracellular p53 were tested by RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results: The diameter of the pll-DCIONP was between 60 and 80 nm. The Zeta surface potential of pll-DCIONP was + 19. 6 mV. At different pH conditions, the pll-DCIONP could adsorb wt-p 53 gene which was the strongest when the ratio of pII-DCIONP/wt-p53 was 1: 1 (m/m). The pll-DCIONP/wt-p 53 complex could resist DNase-I and blood serum digestion. The intracellular p 53 gene levels continuously increased in a time-dependent manner after transfection of human lung adenocarcinoma cells with pll-DCIONP/wt-p53 complex. The intracellular p 53 gene levels decreased in a time-dependent manner after transfection with the wt-p 53 DNA-lipofectamine complex. Conclusion: pll-DCIONP could be used as one of the ideal gene carriers for wt-p 53 gene delivery. It continuously and effectively mediates wt-p 53 gene transfection into lung cancer cells.

Objective To describe the clinical features of convulsive status epileptieus (CSE) in our hospital and to provide a basis for future CSE prevention and treatment. Methods Patients with CSE hospitalized from January 1996 to October 2007 were prospectively observed. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of prognosis. Results All 220 eases of CSE were prospeetively analyzed, a hundred and two patients(46.4%) originated from rural areas. The primary cause of CSE was central nervous system(CNS)infectian (72cases, 32.7%), followed by discontinuation or reduction of antiepileptie drugs (AEDs, 35 cases,15.5%). The median duration of CSE was 5 hours and median duration of seizures before treatment was 2 hours; both were longer in rural patients (7.0 and3.5 hours respectively) than in urban patients (3.0 and 2.0 hours, Z=-3.433,-1.558,both P<0.05). The fatality rate by the time of discharge was 15.9%. Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of CSE (χ2=20.941), a history of epilepsy (χ2=4.910), and respiratory depression (χ2=16.086) were independent predictors of CSE prognosis (allP<0.05) . Comparisons between these data of USA and Europe were made. Conclusions CSE occurs mostly in rural population and epilepsy patients. CNS infection and withdrawal or reduction of AEDs in patients with epilepsy were important triggers of CSE. Antiepileptic therapy for status epilepticus in China falls behind that in the European countries.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) is an inflammatory cascade process involving the interaction of multiple factors.In recent years,more and more evidence suggests that NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome,an important component of the innate immune system,is closely associated with the inflammatory damage of MI/RI.Furthermore,blockage of NLRP3 inflammasome or the release of its downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines may provide new therapeutic targets for this disorder.

Objective: To investigate the level of arsenic exposure in rural drinking water and to assess the health risk caused by exposure to arsenic in Tongzhou District, Beijing Municipality in 2019, so as to provide insights into improving the quality of rural drinking water. Methods: Water samples were collected from self-provided wells in 196 villages of 7 townships in Tongzhou District from April to June, 2019, and the arsenic levels were measured in drinking water according to Standard examination methods for drinking water-Metal parameters (GB/T 5750.6-2006). The carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of arsenic were evaluated in drinking water using the environmental risk assessment model recommended by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Results: Totally 520 water samples were collected, and the median arsenic concentration was 0.001 2-0.050 0 mg/L. There were 67 water samples with arsenic levels exceeding the defined standard level (12.88%), and the proportions of arsenic levels exceeding the defined standard level were 57.69%, 17.24%, 12.20%, 6.52% and 1.31% in Songzhuang, Huoxian, Lucheng, Zhangjiawan and Yongdedian townships, and the arsenic levels did not exceed the defined standard level in Majuqiao or Taihu townships. The carcinogenic risk of arsenic was 3.135 7×10-4/a in drinking water, which exceeded the maximum acceptable risk, and the carcinogenic risk of arsenic all exceeded the maximum acceptable risk, with the highest value seen in Songzhuang Township (9.648 2×10-4/a). A high carcinogenic risk of arsenic was seen in men at ages of 60 to 80 years (3.012 8×10-4/a) and in women at ages of 80 years and older (2.949 0×10-4/a). The non-carcinogenic risk of arsenic was 0.696 8 in drinking water, indicating a low risk, and were 1.009 5 and 2.144 1 in Huoxian and Songzhuang townships, indicating a high risk. In addition, a high non-carcinogenic risk of arsenic was seen in men at ages of 60 to 80 years (0.669 5) and in women at ages of 80 years and older (0.655 3). Conclusion There was a high proportion of arsenic levels exceeding the defined standard level in rural drinking water in Tongzhou District, 2019, and there was a health risk, notably with the highest carcinogenic risk seen in residents at ages of 60 years and older. Effective interventions are needed to reduce arsenic levels in drinking water.

Residents graduating from medical colleges and universities should accept the standardized, scientific, strict pre-service training, in order to realize role conversion from medical students to hospital physicians. This paper summarizes and analyzes the pre-service training, focusing on the training object, course design, organization implementation, evaluation, questionnaire survey, and puts forward some thoughts and sugges-tions on strengthening and improving pre-service training form, expanding the content of training, and quan-tifying the evaluation of training effect.

Objective:To explore the early warning value of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) positivity in liver transplantation recipients with rectal swabs, examine the risk factors of CRKP bloodstream infection and provide the relevant treatments.Methods:From June 2018 to December 2019 in Organ Transplantation Research Institute Affiliated Tongji Hospital Tongji Medical College Huazhong University of Science & Technology, 148 cases of liver transplantation recipients with positive CRKP rectal swabbing were recruited. Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. And the risk factors of CRKP bloodstream infections were examined for intervention and non-intervention groups to observe the effect of interventions of CRKP bloodstream infections.Results:Among them, 23 cases (15.5%) were positive for CRKP and 5 cases (21.7%) were infected with CRKP bloodstream. Rectal swab culture was negative in 125 cases and no bloodstream infection occurred. Long-term use of broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents, severe basic diseases (severe hepatitis), postoperative delayed graft liver function recovery, acute renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) and postoperative anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction were risk factors. In intervention group, there were 2 cases (11.1%) of 18 patients with positive CRKP in rectal swab culture in late stage. Among 5 CRKP-positive recipients without intervention, 3 cases (60%) developed later CRKP bloodstream infection. The incidence of bloodstream infection was significantly lower in intervention group than that in non-intervention group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Rectal swab culture for liver transplantation recipients provides early warning for CRKP bloodstream infection. Interventions for CRKP positive high-risk recipients with rectal swab culture may reduce the occurrence of CRKP bloodstream infection and lower the risk of CRKP bloodstream infection in liver transplantation recipients.
