Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2001;30(1):46-49
The cytotoxic effect and antitumor effect of paclitaxel liposome were studied by using MTT assay method in vitro and in vivo antitumor test. The inhibitory rate of paclitaxel liposome on human ovarian cancer cell COC1 was 78.48 %, 84.90 %, 93.53 % respectively at the concentrations of 22.5 μg/ml, 45 μg/ml, 90 μg/ml respectively. Under the doses of 5 mg/(kg*d) and 10 mg/(kg*d) for 8 days, the inhibitory rate of paclitaxel liposome against xenograft of solid Ehrlich tumor in mice was 32.47 % and 54.63 % respectively (P<0.01). The weight change rate of the mice was 22.11 % and 21.16 % respectively. It was suggested that paclitaxel liposome possessed in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities. The toxicity of liposomal paclitaxel was lower than that of free paclitaxel.

Objective To construct,express,purify and identify the gene encodi ng major outer membrane protein of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Porin I, or PI). Metho ds The gene encoding for PI of N.gonorrhoeae was amplified by PCR and cloned int o expression plasmid pGEX-4T-2 to form pGEX-4T-2/PI recombinants. A high lev el expression of GST-PI fusion protein was obtained in GST gene fusion system (GST:glutathione S transferase). The analysis indicated that the expressed pr otein was present predominantly in the insoluble form. Therefore, the induced pr otein was purified by SDS-PAGE, and bands corresponding to polypeptides of GST-PI fusion protein were excised and subjected to electroelution. A dot immunoch romatographic assay was employed to demonstrate whether the purified protein was gonococcal PI specific. Results The pGEX-4T-2/PI expression recombinants were constructed,expressed,purified and identified successfully. SDS-PAGE analysis and dot immunochromatographic assay suggested that the recombinant GST-PI fusio n protein was a 60 000 molecular weight protein andidentical in size to native PI and reacted with anti-PI monoclonal antibody. Conclusion Our results may lead to a potentiality for further study of diagnosti c kits and vaccine for Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the ING1 gene mutation status in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC), and the association of p33(ING1b) protein expression with p53 protein expression.
METHOD:
DNA of LSCC tissue was extracted, and nucleotide of the second exon was amplified and sequenced to determine the chromosome status. The p23(ING1b) and p53 protein expression were detected by immunohistochemistry and the association between them were analyzed.
RESULT:
No mutation was detected in ING1 gene, but a single polymorphism from GGG to AGG at codon 170 of ING1 gene was found in 2 of the 25 LSCC tissues. The immunohistochemical analysis showed that 4 had positive p33(ING1b) expression. No association was found between p33(ING1b) expression and LSCC clinical features, or between p53 and clinical features. However, significant difference was found between p33(ING1b) and p53 expression. p33(ING1b) tended to be negative in p53 expression positive tissue.
CONCLUSION
ING1 gene mutation appears rare in LSCC. In normal physical condition, p33(ING1b) may play a synergistic effect with p53 protein.

Objective:To explore the effects of intraspinal blocking analgesia on the delivery quality and puerperal pelvic floor function of primiparas.Methods:A total of 99 primiparas who delivered in the Second People′s Hospital of Wuhu City from January 2021 to April 2022 were enrolled in this study, 54 patients received intraspinal blocking analgesia (study group) and 45 patients received conventional treatment, without intraspinal blocking analgesia (control group). The delivery quality between the two groups was compared, and the pelvic floor function was evaluated and compared by pelvic floor rehabilitation therapy instrument and pelvic floor ultrasound at 6-8 weeks after delivery.Results:Vaginal delivery were successful in both groups. The total labor duration in the study group was longer than that in the control group: (8.03 ± 2.94) h vs. (6.89 ± 3.49) h, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The maximum value of pelvic floor rapid contraction stage, rising time and average value of continuous contraction stage in the study group were higher than those in the control group: (32.85 ± 10.13) μV vs. (14.73 ± 3.25) μV, (0.28 ± 0.06) s vs. (0.22 ± 0.05) s, (30.26 ± 5.24) μV vs. (16.74 ± 4.00) μV, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in other indicators such as the pre-resting stage, rapid contraction phase recovery time and post-resting stage between the two groups ( P>0.05). The rate of pelvic floor class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ muscle abnormalities at 6-8 weeks after delivery in the study group were lower than those in the control group, but there were no statistical differences ( P>0.05). The maximum Valsalva state hiatus area of levator ani muscle, maximum Valsalva state bladder posterior urethral angle, hiatus area of levator ani muscle at rest state and bladder neck degree in the study group were smaller than those in the control group: (19.09 ± 4.82) cm 2 vs. (23.00 ± 5.34) cm 2, (138.59 ± 23.14)° vs. (148.47 ± 20.38)°, (9.96 ± 2.63) cm 2 vs. (11.60 ± 2.75) cm 2, (20.13 ± 4.37) mm vs. (28.05 ± 6.52) mm, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Although intraspinal block analgesia can prolong the total labor time of primipara, but it can reduce the damage of pelvic floor function, possibly by increasing systolic period to protect pelvic floor muscles.

Objective:To explore the anxiety state of the main caregivers of dementia patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:The convenient sampling method was adopted to select 220 main caregivers of dementia patients who were outpatients and inpatients in a ClassⅢ Grade A specialty hospital in Jiangsu province from January to October 2019. The self-developed General Information Questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and disease-related data of caregivers and patients. Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) , Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) , Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Activity of Daily Living (ADL) were used to measure the anxiety status of the main caregivers and its influencing factors.Results:220 questionnaires were distributed, and valid questionnaires were 212. HAMA score of 212 main caregivers was (7.45±2.86) , and the incidence of anxiety was 55.19% (117/212) . The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the seven independent variables entered the regression equation. According to the regression coefficients in descending order, they were the medical payment method (self-pay, medical insurance) , whether the patient had mental symptoms, whether the main caregivers had support, the education level of the main caregivers, the neurotic personality characteristics of the main caregivers, the total score of MMSE and the total score of ADL. All of them were independent influencing factors of the anxiety of main caregivers, explaining 33.3% variation of the anxiety of the main caregivers ( F=8.512, P<0.001) . Conclusions:There is a high incidence of anxiety among caregivers of dementia patients. In the process of clinical nursing, nurses should focus on caregivers who have neurotic tendency and high education level and has no social support. They should pay attention to the independent influencing factors such as the medical expenses of the caregivers who are mainly paid at their own expense, the impaired ADL ability of patients, lower total score of MMSE and patients accompanied with mental symptoms, and take active interventions to improve the anxiety of caregivers.

Methods A total of 750 elderly patients with CHF were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling method from 5 regions of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from February to August 2015. General Data Questionnaire, Heart Failure Self-Management Scale and Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) were applied in the investigation to analyze the correlation between self-management and quality of life. Results A total of 750 questionnaires were distributed and 704 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 94.1%. The total score of self-management and MLHFQ in the 704 CHF patients was (47.6±11.1) and (57.1±18.5) respectively. Pearson correlation analysis showed that patients' self-management was positively correlated with quality of life (r=0.114, P< 0.05). Conclusions The overall level of self-management and quality of life in elderly patients with chronic heart failure in Xinjiang Region is mid-to-low. Nursing intervention can give full play to the initiative of self-management behavior in accordance with patients' cultural background, so as to improve their quality of life.

Objective:To investigate the awareness and knowledge of influenza and vaccine among primary care providers in Shanghai.Methods:An online questionnaires survey was conducted by Shanghai Alliance for Respiratory Diseases in Primary Care from December 2017 to August 2018, healthcare providers in district central hospitals and community health care centers of Shanghai were invited to participate in the survey. The questionnaire contained the following items: the basic information of respondents; knowledge of influenza and its vaccine; current status of influenza vaccination; factors affecting promoting vaccination; the intention, attitude, perception of promoting vaccination and the influencing factors, and suggestions on promoting influenza vaccination.Results:A total of 1 542 valid questionnaires were collected, 88.3% (1 361/1 542) responders correctly recognized main symptoms of influenza; 58.2% (898/1 542) ignored the contact transmission of influenza; 41.6% (641/1 542) didn′t know the frequency of influenza vaccination; 82.7% (1 276/1 542) failed to recognize that pregnant women should also receive influenza vaccination. The survey showed that 31.2% (481/1 542) of responders had been vaccinated against influenza. The vaccination rate in community health care institutions was significantly higher than that in district central hospitals [39.1% (304/778) vs. 23.2% (177/764), χ 2=45.44, P<0.05]. Factors affecting vaccination for healthcare providers were: influenza antigen was variable, and vaccination had no effects [49.5% (404/816)]; the efficacy of the flu vaccine was doubt [48.8% (634/1 298)]; the vaccine wasn′t free [46.5%(604/1 298)]. The respondents believed that the main ways to improve the influenza vaccination were to formulate relevant national vaccination policies [79.7%(1 229/1 542)], to regularly publicize knowledge of influenza and influenza vaccine to residents through communities [65.8% (1 015/1 542)], and to recommend the patients by primary care medical staff [64.4% (993/1 542)]. Conclusion:Many healthcare providers have insufficient knowledge about influenza and vaccine. The vaccination rate of community health institutions is higher than that in district central hospitals in Shanghai. The willingness to promote influenza vaccination can be influenced by some factors. Increasing the willingness of healthcare providers might be helpful to improve the vaccination coverage among residents in the community.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for the occurrence and poor in-hospital prognosis in patients with peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM).Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with PPCM and 35 healthy pregnant women in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University and Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2003 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The personal histories, laboratory examination, imaging examination, cardiac function outcome, etc were collected. According to the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) at discharge, the patients with PPCM were divided into in-hospital recovery group (LVEF≥50%, 18 cases) and prolonged disease group (LVEF<50%, 17 cases). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors of poor in-hospital prognosis in patients with PPCM.Results:Among 35 patients with PPCM, the age was (29.81 ± 5.37) years old, 17 cases (48.57%) complicated with gestational hypertension, 6 cases (17.14%) complicated with gestational diabetes mellitus, 24 cases (68.57%) of New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification was Ⅲ to Ⅳ class, and 4 cases died (11.43%). The gestational age in patients with PPCM was significantly shorter than that in healthy pregnant women: (36.26 ± 4.27) weeks vs. (38.54 ± 4.59) weeks, the rates of multiple pregnancy and gestational hypertension were significantly higher than those in healthy pregnant women: 17.14% (6/35) vs. 2.86% (1/35) and 48.57% (17/35) vs. 11.43% (4/35), and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01). Compared with hospital recovery group, the patients in protracted disease group had shorter gestational age, larger left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, higher serum creatinine, C-reactive protein and amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), worse NYHA cardiac function classification, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05 or <0.01); but there were no statistical difference in LVEF at the first diagnosis and troponin I between two groups ( P>0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that elevated creatinine was an independent risk factor for poor in-hospital prognosis in patients with PPCM ( OR = 4.554, 95% CI 1.536 to 13.684, P = 0.018). Conclusions:The gestational hypertension may be a risk factor for PPCM. The gestational hypertension, earlier onset time, enlarged left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, high NT-proBNP, high C-reactive protein, high creatinine and high cardiac function NYHA classification may be risk factors for poor in-hospital prognosis in patients with PPCM; and elevated creatinine is an independent risk factor for poor in-hospital prognosis in patients with PPCM.
