Objective To investigate the effects of cisplatin on the expression of nucleotide - binding oligomerization domain-like receptor(NOD) 1 and 2 in human osteosarcoma SaOS-2 cell line,and to explore the mechanism of cisplatin in the treatment of human osteosarcoma. Methods CCK-8 assay,real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( qRT - PCR ) and immumofluorescence methods were used to determine the growth survival rate and expression levels of NOD1 and NOD2 in osteosarcoma SaOS -2 cell line treated with cisplatin (0,5,10,20 μmol/L,named group S0,group S5,group S10,group S20,respectively) for 24, 48,72 hours. Results After treatment with cisplatin for 48 h or 72 h,the growth survival rates of SaOS-2 cells were significantly decreased in group S5 than those in group S0(65. 53% vs. 100. 00%;46. 43% vs. 100. 00%,χ2=8. 64,73. 97,all P<0. 01). Moreover,after treatment with cisplatin for 24 h,48 h or 72 h,the growth survival rates of SaOS-2 cells were significantly decreased in group S10 or group S20 than those in group S0(80. 60% vs. 100. 00% , 42. 94 vs. 100. 00% ,27. 90% vs. 100. 00% ;62. 54% vs. 100. 00% ,33. 09% vs. 100. 00% ,22. 95% vs. 100. 00% , χ2=20. 99,79. 72,112. 50;45. 40,67. 56,125. 20,all P<0. 01),and the growth survival rates were significantly lower in group S20 than those in group S5(62. 54% vs. 93. 78% ,33. 09% vs. 65. 53% ,22. 95% vs. 46. 43% ,χ2= 28. 47,21. 78,11. 71,all P <0. 01). The expression levels of NOD1 mRNA and NOD2 mRNA in group S5 were significantly increased at 48 h or 72 h than those at 24 h,and were higher than group S0 when treated with 5μmol/L cisplatin[(3. 64 ± 0. 44) vs. (4. 47 ± 1. 22) vs. (1. 79 ± 0. 44) vs (1. 00 ± 0. 00);(6. 88 ± 2. 79) vs. (6. 86 ± 2. 40) vs (2. 29 ± 0. 70) vs. (1. 00 ± 0. 00),F=29. 12,24. 11,all P<0. 01]. And the expression levels of NOD1 protein had an increased tendency after 48 h or 72 h treatment with 5μmol/L cisplatin. Furthermore,the expression level of NOD1 mRNA was positively correlated with NOD2 mRNA(n=36,r=0. 92,P<0. 01). Conclusion Cisplatin can elevate the function of osteosarcoma cell in a dose - and time - dependent manners, cisplatin may act as a efficient drug to cure osteosarcoma desease,which may be related to NOD1 and NOD2 signal pathway.

Objective To observe the expressions of grouth-related oncogen (GRO)α, epithelial neutrophil activating protein-78 (ENA-78) and neutrophil-activating peptide-2 (NAP-2) of rat asthma. And to investigate the role of neutrophil in the pathogenesis of asthma exacerbation. Methods In this experi-ment, the rat model of asthma were randomly divided into two groups on average, including asthma group and control group. Levels of ENA-78 at blood neutrophil were detected by flow cytometry method. The ex-pressions of GROα protein at bronchial wall and NAP-2 protein at blood neutrophil were detected by immuno-histochemieal method. Results Levels of GROα, ENA-78 and NAP-2 proteins in asthma group [0.138 ±0.009(A value), 97.65±13.99(MFI), 0.198±0.016(A value), respectively]were significantly higher than those in control group[0.077±0.010(A value), 50.79±8.66(MFI), 0.079±0.015(A value), re-spectively], all P < 0.01. Conclusion Levels of GROα, ENA-78 and NAP-2 were increased at rat asth-ma. They may be participate in inflammation of asthma exacerbation. Neutrophil may promote inflammatory cells influxing into airway wall via increasing synthesis of CXC chemotactic factors.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexamethasone on expressions of epithelial neutrophil activating protein-78 (ENA-78) and transforming growth factor- beta 1 (TGF-β1) in neutrophil of asthma rats.Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups on average, including asthma group, control group and dexamethasone treated group. In this experiment, the rat model of asthma were established by sentization and challenge with ovalbumin. Blood neutrophil were isolated and purified. The expression of ENA-78 was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of TGF-β1 was detected by immunohistochemical method in blood neutrophil and bronchial wall. Results Expression of ENA-78 in blood neutrophil in dexamethasone treated group(71.82 ±8. 87 mean fluorescence intensity)was lower than that in asthma group, but higher than that in control group(all P <0. 01). And expressions of TGF-β1 protein in dexamethasone treated group(0. 173 ± 0. 014,0. 202 ± 0. 019 optical density, respectively) was lower than that in asthma group(all P <0. 01) ,but higher than that in control group(all P <0. 01). There were significant positive correlation between ENA-78 expression at blood neutrophil and numbers of total inflammation cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (n = 29, γ = 0. 762, P < 0. 01). Conclusion The beneficial effect of glucocorticoid(dexamethasone) on airway inflammation in asthma rats could be at least in part due to their direct inhibitory effect on ENA-78 and TGF-β1 protein generation by neutrophil.

PURPOSE: Nursing students experience a high degree of perceived stress during skills training. The resulting academic sentiment is worthy of research. This study examined the learning motivation as a mediator in the association between perceived stress and positive deactivating academic emotions in nursing students undergoing skills training. METHODS: A survey was conducted on 386 third-year undergraduate nursing students at a university in Changchun, China, in 2017. The survey included the items on perceived stress, learning motivation during nursing skill training, and general academic emotion. There were 381 valid responses (response rate=98.7%). Based on the results of partial correlation and stepwise multiple regression equations, the study examined the mediation model between perceived stress, learning motivation and positive-deactivating academic emotions using process 2.16 (a plug-in specifically used to test mediation or moderation effect in SPSS). RESULTS: There was a significant negative correlation between students' perceived stress and learning motivation during nursing skills training and positive-deactivating academic emotions. Nervousness, loss of control, and interest in developing reputation had significant predictive effects on positive-deactivating academic emotions. The mediating model was well supported. CONCLUSION: Learning motivation during nursing skills training lessened the damage of perceived stress on positive-deactivating academic emotions. Improving students' motivation to learn could reduce their perceived stress and build more positive emotions. Positive emotions during learning played an important role in helping nursing students improve skills and enhance their nursing competence.

BACKGROUND: Smoking is an important cause of cardiovascular disease, its definite mechanism in inducing cardiovascular disease is still unclear, and whether there is linear correlation between the amount of cigarette smoking and cardiovascular risk still needs to be investigated.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the association between cigarette smoking and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis.DESIGN: A retrospective investigation and comparative study.SETTING: The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 500 consecutive patients, who underwent coronary angiography for suspected or known coronary atherosclerosis, were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from April 2004 to April 2005. The inclusive criteria included patients with history of chest pain and/or ischemic changes of electrocardiography (ECG), and those with suspected or known coronary artery disease by coronary angiography. Patients with spastic angina pectoris (acetylcholine-positive) were excluded. Patients with infectious processes within 2 weeks before catheterization, heart failure (Killip Class≥ 2 after acute myocardial infarction), hepatic dysfunction, vascular disease (aortitis should be treated with prednisolone), familial hypercholesterolemia, thyroid dysfunction, or adrenal dysfunction were also excluded. There were 370 males aged 42-76years with an average of (61±11) years and 130 females aged 45-75 years with an average of (61±12) years. There were no significant differences in the sex, age and general information among all the patients. This study was approved by the ethics committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and informed consent was obtained from each patient.METHODS: ① According to the smoking habit, 500 patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease were divided into smoking group (n=254) and non-smoking group (n=246). ② All the patients received anthropometric measurements including body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP). Blood samples were drawn from every patient at admission to the detect the leukocyte counts in peripheral blood, including total leukocyte count, neutrophil count, eosinophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count and basophil count. ③ The severity of coronary atherosclerosis was defined by the Gensini score system, based on the hypothesis that the severity of coronary artery disease should be considered as a consequence of the functional significance of the vascular narrowing and the extent of the area perfused by the involved vessel or vessels. In this scoring system, a greater reduction of the lumen diameter was assigned a higher score than a distal lesion. ④The association of smoking amount with Gensini score, anthropometric measurements and leukocyte count were studies with the Spearman correlation analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Results of BMI, SBP, DBP, leukocyte count and Gensini score; ② Results of the Spearman correlation analysis on the association of smoking amount with Gensini score, anthropometric measurements and leukocyte count.RESULTS: ① The total leukocyte count, neutrophil count, monocyte count in peripheral blood and Gensini score were significantly higher in the smoking group than in the non-smoking group.② The Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the amount of cigarette smoking was significantly associated with the total cigarettes smoked, total leukocyte count,neutrophil count, monocyte count and Gensini score (r=0.109, 0.100,0.135, 0.139, P < 0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: Smoking is significantly associated with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, and the inflammatory response may be part of the mechanisms underlying the association between coronary artery disease and cigarette smoking.
