An on-line solid phase extraction ( SPE ) coupled with HPLC-MS/MS method was developed to determine S-ammuxetine and R-ammuxetine in rat plasma. The sample preparation consisted of the following steps:A protein precipitation extraction used methanol and acetonitrile ( 50:50 , V/V ); an on-line SPE treatment to remove most matrixes in plasma;an enrichment and separation step used a C18 analytical column. S-and R-ammuxetine were determined by tandem mass spectrometry. The SPE column was a Retain PEP Javelin (10 mm × 2. 1 mm × 5 μm), while the chromatographic separation was achieved using a ZORBAX SB-C18 (50 mm × 2. 1 mm × 3. 5 μm) analytical column with an isocratic mobile phase composed of acetonitrile-water-formic acid (40:60:0. 1, V/V/V, 0. 3 mL/min). The selected reaction monitoring mode of the positive ion was performed and the precursor to the product ion transitions of m/z 292 . 1/154 . 0 and m/z 260. 4/116. 2 were used to measure S-ammuxetine, R-ammuxetine and internal standard (propranolol). The method was linear over a concentration range from 0 . 2 to 1000 μg/L with the correlation coefficients of 0 . 9903 and 0 . 9951 . The average intra-day precision values were 1 . 2% -12 . 0% for S-ammuxetine and 0. 4%-11. 2% for R-ammuxetine, respectively. The average recoveries were 94. 2%-101. 6% for S-ammuxetine and 94. 3% -109. 4% for R-ammuxetine. Compared to the literature, the sensitivity of this method increased dramatically. The present method has been successfully applied to the preclinical rat research of ammuxetine isomers following intragastric administration.

Histone H3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) is well known to occur in the promoter region of genes for transcription activation.However,when investigating the H3K4me3 profiles in the mouse cerebrum and testis,we discovered that H3K4me3 also has a significant enrichment at the 3' end of actively transcribed (sense) genes,named as 3′-H3K4me3.3′-H3K4me3 is associated with ~15% of protein-coding genes in both tissues.In addition,we examined the transcriptional initiation signals including RNA polymerase II (RNAPII)binding sites and 5′-CAGE-tag that marks transcriptional start sites.Interestingly,we found that 3′-H3K4me3 is associated with the initiation of antisense transcription.Furthermore,3′-H3K4me3 modification levels correlate positively with the antisense expression levels of the associated sense genes,implying that 3′-H3K4me3 is involved in the activation of antisense transcription.Taken together,our findings suggest that H3K4me3 may be involved in the regulation of antisense transcription that initiates from the 3′ end of sense genes.In addition,a positive correlation was also observed between the expression of antisense and the associated sense genes with 3'-H3K4me3 modification.More importantly,we observed the 3'-H3K4me3 enrichment among genes in human,fruitfly and Arabidopsis,and found that the sequences of 3'-H3K4me3-marked regions are highly conserved and essentially indistinguishable from known promoters in vertebrate.Therefore,we speculate that these 3'-H3K4me3-marked regions may serve as potential promoters for antisense transcription and 3′-H3K4me3 appear to be a universal epigenetic feature in eukaryotes.Our results provide a novel insight into the epigenetic roles of H3K4me3 and the regulatory mechanism of antisense transcription.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of self-directed learning ability between feedback-seeking behavior and caring ability of nursing students in school.Methods:In September 2019, convenience sampling was used to select undergraduate nursing students from grades 1 to 3 in a medical university in Liaoning Province as the research object. The Feedback Seeking Behavior Scale, Self-regulated Learning Ability Scale and the Caring Ability Inventory were used to conduct a cross-sectional survey. A total of 184 questionnaires were distributed and 172 valid questionnaires were returned.Results:The caring ability score of 172 school nursing students was (184.45±18.34) . Among nursing students in school, caring ability was positively correlated with feedback-seeking behavior and self-directed learning ability with a statistical difference ( P<0.01) , and feedback-seeking behavior was positively correlated with self-directed learning ability also with a statistical difference ( P<0.01) . The self-directed learning ability played a part of mediating role between feedback-seeking behavior and caring ability, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01) , and the mediating effect was 61.18%. Conclusions:The caring ability of school nursing students is at an intermediate level and needs to be further improved. The feedback-seeking behavior of nursing students in school can directly affect the caring ability, and can also indirectly affect the caring ability through self-directed learning ability. Educators can guide and cultivate the feedback-seeking behavior and self-directed learning ability of nursing students at school, promote their self-regulation, and improve their caring abilities.

The global features of H3K4 and H3K27 trimethylations (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) have been well studied in recent years,but most of these studies were performed in mammalian cell lines.In this work,wegenerated the genome-wide maps of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 of mouse cerebrum and testis using ChlP-seq and their high-coverage transcriptomes using ribominus RNA-seq with SOLiD technology.We examined the global patterns of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in both tissues and found that modifications are closely-associated with tissue-specific expression,function and development.Moreover,we revealed that H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 rarely occur in silent genes,which contradicts the findings in previous studies.Finally,we observed that bivalent domains,with both H3K4me3 and H3K27me3,existed ubiquitously in both tissues and demonstrated an invariable preference for the regulation of developmentally-related genes.However,the bivalent domains tend towards a "winner-takes-all" approach to regulate the expression of associated genes.We also verified the above results in mouse ES cells.As expected,the results in ES cells are consistent with those in cerebrum and testis.In conclusion,we present two very important findings.One is that H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 rarely occur in silent genes.The other is that bivalent domains may adopt a "winner-takes-all" principle to regulate gene expression.
