OBJECTIVE To probe current status on protection of occupational exposure for contract workers in supply center of military hospital,therefore to put forward rational suggestion and measure.METHODS Current status among contract workers in supply center of military hospital were investigated by questionnaire with conversation.RESULTS The investigation showed that contract workers in supply center of military hospital had poor recognition on protection of occupational exposure,with higher prevalence of occupational exposure(95%),and short of effective protection against occupational exposure,and without correct and efficient measures once occupational exposure occurred.CONCLUSIONS It is essential to enhance education on occupational exposure protection,establish strict,systemic and periodic training,thus to strengthen self-protection on occupational exposure,therefore to reduce the occurrence of inhospital infection.

Objective:To explore the correlation among ECG indexes,myocardial enzyme peak and short term cardi-ac function in patients with acute anterior ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods:A total of 150 pa-tients with acute anterior STEMI were selected from our hospital.According to left ventricular ejection fraction af-ter three months (3m LVEF),they were divided into cardiac dysfunction group (n=78,LVEF<50%)and normal cardiac function group (n= 72,LVEF≥ 50%).Following indexes were compared between two groups,including sum of ST elevation extent (ΣST),R wave (ΣR),Q wave (ΣQ),maximum value of ST elevation (STm)and Q wave (Qm)etc.on infarct related leads,and peak value of creatine kinase (CKm),CK isoenzyme (CK-MBm)and cardiac troponin T (cTnTm)etc.Results:Compared with normal cardiac function group,there were significant rise in ΣST,ΣQ,STm,Qm,CKm,CK-MBm,cTnTm,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd),3mLVEDd and significant reduction in ΣR and LVEF,3mLVEF in cardiac dysfunction group,P <0.05 or <0.01;Spearman correlation analysis indicated that ΣST,ΣQ,STm,Qm,CKm,CK-MBm and cTnTm were positively correlated with 3m LVEDd (r =0.18~0.63,P <0.05 or <0.01),and inversely correlated with 3m LVEF (r =-0.88~-0.42, P <0.01 all).ΣR was inversely correlated with LVEDd and 3m LVEDd (r =-0.46、-0.51,P <0.01 both),and positively correlated with LVEF and 3m LVEF (r =0.81,0.71,P <0.01 both).Conclusion:In patients with ante-rior STEMI,the higher ST elevation,the higher Q wave,the lower R wave,the higher myocardial enzyme peak is, the poorer short term cardiac function is.

Objective To investigate the role of TROP2 in migration and invasion of human gastric cancer cells. Methods Small interfering RNA(siRNA) targeting TROP2 gene was constructed by gene cloning and transfection into gastric cancer cell line BGC-823. The expression of mRNA and protein were detected by Real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot assay after RNA interference. The proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Transwell assay was performed to assess the effect of TROP2 targeted RNA interference on the migratory and invasive properties of gastric cancer in vitro. Results Enzyme digestion analysis and DNA sequencing showed that TROP2 targeted RNA interference recombinant plasmids were successfully constructed. The most effective recombinant plasmid was selected. After transfection, knockdown of TROP2 significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and invasion of BGC-823 cells in vitro(P <0. 05). Conclusion Interfering and down-regulating TROP2 gene can inhibit migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 in vitro, indicating that TROP2 gene is a potential target for gastric cancer gene therapy.

Objective:To investigate the roles and regulation mechanism of miR-31 in human cutaneous squamous cell carcino-ma (cSCC) growth. Methods:cSCC cells were transfected with the antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) of miR-31, and the cSCC growth was tested by colony formation and in vivo tumor formation assays. The target gene of miR-31 was validated by Western blot and green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter assay. The cells were then transfected with the siRNA of the target gene, and the effect of the target gene on cell growth was preformed by colony formation assay. Finally, real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used for analy-sis of the expression of miR-31 and its target gene. Results:miR-31 ASO resulted in a low number of cell colonies and small tumor vol-ume (P<0.05). Western blot showed that the cells with miR-31 ASO had a higher protein level of large tumor suppressor homolog 2 (LATS2) than the control. The 3' UTR of LATS2 had a binding site with miR-31, and miR-31 ASO increased the GFP intensity con-trolled by LATS2 3' UTR, whereas no effect was observed on the mutant LATS2 3' UTR. Western blot showed that LATS2 siRNA inhib-ited the expression of LATS2 protein by about 80%. Knocking down of LATS2 increased the colony number by about 70%or 1.3-fold in cSCC cells. Real-time PCR showed that miR-31 was overexpressed in most cSCC tissues, compared with normal tissues. An inverse relationship existed between miR-31 and LATS2 expression levels. Immunohistochemistry validated that LATS2 was downregulated in cSCC tissues. Conclusion:miR-31, which functions as an oncogene, promotes cSCC growth by suppressing LATS2 expression. Our da-ta suggest that miR-31 is a potential miRNA-based therapeutic target for cSCC growth.

Background and purpose:18?-glycyrrhetinic acid(GA) is one of the important components of glycyrrhiza.Recent years,studies showed that GA has the effect of proliferation inhibition in human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells,human liver carcinoma and lung cancer cells.We investigated the effects of GA on induction of apoptosis in human breast carcinoma(MCF7) cells.The previous studies have demonstrated that the dynamic change of intracellular free Ca~(2+) concentration([Ca~(2+)]i)plays important roles in many links of apoptosis-induced process.Therefore we also researched the relationship between GA-induced apoptosis and [Ca~(2+)]i in MCF-7 cells.Methods:After MCF-7 cells were treated with 50-250 ?mol/L GA for 24 h,cell viability for proliferation was assessed by MTT assay.MCF-7 cells treated with 100 ?mol/L and 150 ?mol/L GA for 24 h,the apoptotic rates in MCF7 cells were examined by terminal deoxynucleotide transferase mediated dUTP nick-end-labeling method,flow cytometry with Annexin V/ propidium iodide fluorescent stain and single cell gel electrophoresis assay(SCGE).For cells treated with 150 ?mol/L GA for 24 h,i was measured by Fure-2 fluorescein load method.For cells treated with 150 ?mol/L GA combined with 100 ?mol/L BAPTA-AM or 0.5 mmol/L EGTA for 24 h,cell apoptosis were examined by SCGE.Results:For cells treated with GA from 100 ?mol/L to 250 ?mol/L,the rate of proliferative inhibition was increased significantly(P

Objective To develop a multiple polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique based assay for rapid detection of vanA, vanB, vanD and vanM in high-level vancomycin-resistant enterococci.Methods After analyzing the uncleotide sequence divergence among D-Ala∶D-Lac ligase genes, an multiplex PCR assay for vanA, vanB, vanD and vanM genes in high-level vancomycin-resistant enterococci were designed.By using recombination plasmids containing vanA, vanB, vanD and vanM genes as positive control, and non-vancomycin resistant enterococci (non-VRE) common pathogenic bacterial DNA as negative control, the sensitivity and specificity of the assay were evaluated.Fifty vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) isolates were detected by the assay.Fifty clinical strains of VRE were isolated from 9 hospitals in Shanghai from January 2006 to December 2014.The results were compared with the conventional PCR and sequencing methods.Results The identity of the D-Ala∶D-Lac ligase genes were 60.8%-71.3% of vanA, vanB, vanD and vanM genes.The multiplex PCR assay could identify the genotypes of the positive control samples accurately.No false positive results were found in negative control samples.Among fifty VRE strains detected by the assay, 18 were vanA genotype and 32 were vanM genotype.Comparison of the multiplex PCR assay and sequencing methods revealed sensitivity and specificity of 100%.The detection limit of the assay was 2×10 copies/PCR reaction.The experiment could be done within 3.5 h.Conclusions A multiplex PCR assay is developed to rapid identify the genotype of the high-level vancomycin-resistant enterococci, which can be used for the molecular epidemiology research and detection of VRE.
