AIM:To investigate the effect of microRNA-16 ( miR-16) on the proliferation, invasion and cyto-kine secretion of rheumatoid arthritis ( RA) synovial fibroblasts ( RASFs) from the RA patients.METHODS: miR-16 mimic and miR-16 inhibitor were synthesized, and then Transfected into RASFs isolated from RA patients with lipo-fectamine.MTT assay, Transwell chamber and flow cytometry were used to determine the effect of miR-16 on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of RASFs.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase 3/13 ( MMP3/13) and interleukin 1β( IL-1β) was measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting.RESULTS: The proliferation and invasion of RASFs were signifi-cantly inhibited by miR-16 mimic.The result of flow cytometry demonstrated that miR-16 had no effect on apoptosis of RASFs.Furthermore, miR-16 down-regulated the expression of MMP3/13 and IL-1β.CONCLUSION:miR-16 plays an important role in the development of RA and may inhibit the proliferation and invasion of RASFs through down-regulating the expression of MMP3/13 and IL-1β.

Objective To evaluate the effect of cesarean section (CS) and vaginal delivery (VD) on postpartum stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic floor muscles strength and to find out the correlated obstetric factors and preventions for postpartum SUI. Methods Totally, 788 women, who visited the antenatal clinics, delivered and had the follow-up at 6-8 weeks after delivery in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital in the year of 2008, were enrolled in this study and were divided into 3 groups: CS group (n=212); normal vaginal delivery (NVD) group (n=534) and forceps delivery (FD) group(n=42). Women in the NVD and FD group were merged into one VD group and then divided into SUI and non-SUI group. Information of delivery mode and the correlated obstetric factors were obtained through questionnaires and medical records. Femiscan pelvic floor muscle examine system was applied to measure the pelvic floor muscle strength to understand the relationship between postpartum SUI and pelvic floor muscle strength. Results (1) Incidence of SUI: The overall proportion of women who complained of urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy was 15.4% (121/788), and it was 15.9% (85/534), 11.9%(5/ 42) and 14.6% (31/212) in the NVD, FD and CS group, respectively(P>0.05). The overall incidence of postpartum SUI was 17. 1% (135/788), and it was 19.1% (102/534), 26.2% (11/42) and 10.4% (22/212) in the NVD, FD and CS group, respectively, with significant difference between the NVD and FD group, and between the CS and NVD group (all P < 0.01). (2) The associated obstetric factors of postpartum SUI: Among the VD group, 113 women were in the postpartum SUI group and 463 in the non-SUI group. Univariate analysis and logistic multivariate analysis showed that delivery mode, neonatal birth weight and UI during pregnancy were risk factors of postpartum SUI. CS decreased and higher neonatal birth weight and UI during pregnancy increased the risk of postpartum SUI. In the VD group, neonatal birth weight, forceps delivery and UI during pregnancy increased the incidence of postpartum SUI(P<0.01), but no correlation was found with labor analgesia, duration of labor, episiotomy, breast feeding, volume of postpartum bleeding, gestational weeks at delivery, induction and pre-pregnant BMI, etc (all P>0.05).(3) Pelvic floor electromyogram: Pelvic floor muscles strength in the CS group was significantly higher than that of the VD group [activity value: (19. 7±9.9) μv vs (14. 8±8.4) μv; work value: (84. 5±37.2) μv vs (78. 8±28.2) μv; peak value: (25.5±12. 5) μv vs (19. 7±11.8) μv, all P<0.01]. Among women in the VD group, the relaxation value and the ratio of relaxation value over activity value (r/a) in the postpartum SUI group were significantly lower than those in the non-SUI group [relaxation value: (1.7±1.8) μv vs (3.0±3.9) μv; r/a ratio: 0. 2±0. 2 vs 0. 3±0. 5, all P <0.01]. The r/a ratio in the VD group showed no difference compared to that in the CS group (0. 2±3.5 vs 0. 2±0. 2, P>0.05).Conclusion Women experienced vaginal delivery, either NVD or FD, have a higher incidence of postpartum SUI than those delivered through CS. UI during pregnancy, forceps delivery and neonatal birth weight are risk factors of postpartum SUI.

Objective To observe the biological activities of human doppel (Dpl) protein transiently expressed and Dpl-like protein PrPΔ32-121 on a human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y. Methods Recombinant mammalian expression plasmids containing human PRND gene and truncated PrPΔ32-121 fragment were generated by PCR. The expression and location of Dpl and PrPΔ32-121 post-transfection were observed by IFA. The cytotoxicity was measured by MTT analysis. Cellular apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry and Western blot. Results Both Dpl and PrPΔ32-121 protein were expressed and mainly located on the cell membrane. Remarkable cytotoxicity was detected on SH-SY5Y cells after 24 h transfection. Meanwhile, more Annexin V/PI positively-stained cells as well as lower levels of cellular pro-caspase-3 and Bel-2 were detected in the cells receiving Dpl and PrPΔ32-121 expressing plasmids. Conclusion Dpl protein transiently expressed and PrPΔ32-121 can lead to the similar neural cytotoxicity, probably triggering the cell apoptosis program.

ObjectiveTo know about the correlation analysis of the physical and mental status of organ transplanted patients' family members during the patients' rehabilitation period and the long term survival of the transplanted organs.MethodsA total of 600 organ transplanted patients' family members were investigated by Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and simple coping style questionnaire.The results underwent subsequent analysis.ResultsAnxious state of organ transplanted patients' family members was more severe than that of domestic norm (P<0.01).There were some differences in terms of anxious state of family members with different genders,education backgrounds,income and the resource of medical expenditure (P<0.05).Family members most took positive coping styles,whereas fewer adopted negative coping styles (P<0.01).Positive coping styles were negatively correlated with the anxiety of family members (P<0.01) and positively correlated with long term survival of transplanted organ(P<0.05).However,negative coping styles of family members were significantly positively correlated with their anxiety (P<0.05) and were negatively correlated with long term survival of transplanted organ.ConclusionsThe anxiety generally exists in organ transplanted patients' family members.There are differences in terms of anxious state among family members of different genders,different education backgrounds,income or with the resource of medical expenditure.The more they adopt positive coping styles,the lower anxiety level they show and the longer the transplanted organ survive.Conversely,the more they adopt negative coping styles,the higher anxious level they show and the shorter the transplanted organ survive.

ObjectiveTo survey 0—6 years old disabled children in Guiyang.Methods4 999 children aged 0—6 years old chosen randomly from 9 145 children of 12 blocks were investigated with the disability sampling survey criteria of 1987.ResultsThe rate of disabled children in Guiyang was 1.58%, and was not significantly different compared with that of whole country (1.36%) and other three areas including Siping City (P>0.05),but significantly higher than that of other six districts including Heping district of Tianjin municipality (P<0.05). All kinds of disability found by this survey were separately intellectual disability (0.92%),comprehensive disability (0.28%),limb disability (0.24%),vision disability (0.10%),psychiatric disability (0.03%),and hearing disability (0.02%). Rates of intellectual and vision disabilities were significantly higher than that of whole country ( P>0.05).ConclusionSome diseases are directly relative to occurrence of disability. The poor income of the children family,lower education of his parents and not gotten preschool education were risk factors of disability. The institution based rehabilitation and community based rehabilitation are main rehabilitation forms to disabled children.

Objective To explore the current situation of mobile phone addiction and the relationship between mobile phone addiction and impulsive behavior among nursing students .Methods Using convenience sampling, 213 students from College of Nursing in Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were investigated by the mobile phone addiction index scale ( MPAI) and Barratt impulsiveness scale ( Chinese version BIS-11) from May 2014 to November 2014.The correlation of mobile phone addiction and impulsive behavior among nursing students was analyzed.Results Among 213 students, 18.3 percent of the students were addicted to mobile phones (39/213).In the students who were addicted to mobile phones , the BIS score was (62.05 ±7.18) ;attentional impulsivity, exercising impulsivity and unplanned impulsivity were (15.62 ±2.22),(20.92 ±3.55)and(23.21 ± 3.87)respectively, which were all higher than those in the students who were not addicted to mobile phones .The significant differences existed in the BIS score , the scores of attentional impulsivity and exercising impulsivity (P<0.05).No significant difference was found in the unplanned impulsivity ( P >0.05).Mobile phone addiction among nursing students was positively correlated with impulsive behavior , attentional impulsivity and exercising impulsivity(r=0.328,0.493,0.210;P<0.01).Impulsive behavior could effectively predict mobile phone addiction of nursing students .The forecast value was 10.3%.Conclusions Mobile phone addiction is common among nursing students .A higher level of impulsive behavior in nursing students often brings a higher level of mobile phone addiction .

Objective:To evaluate the protective effect of foam dressing in preventing intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI), and to provide reference basis for prevention and treatment of IAPI during clinical operation.Methods:The clinical data of 455 surgical patients admitted to Xinhua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from October 2020 to January 2021 were retrospectively collected. According to whether foam dressing was used at the compression site during operation, the patients were divided into dressing group (101 cases) and control group (354 cases). The two groups were matched with age, body mass index, preoperative Braden and cerebrovascular disease as covariates, and were finally divided into 89 patients in the dressing group and 162 patients in the control group. Logistic regression analysis and stratified analysis were used to comprehensively evaluate the actual effect of foam dressing on the occurrence of IAPI in the surgical patients.Results:Among the 251 patients, there were 14 (15.7%) cases with IAPI in the dressing group and 13 (8.0%) cases in the control group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( χ2=3.41, P>0.05). Among the patients in the prone position, compared to the control group, the dressing group can effectively reduce the risk of IAPI in surgical patients by 77% ( OR=0.23, 95% CI 0.05-0.98, P<0.05). There was no interaction between foam dressing and intraoperative surgical characteristics ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Foam dressing plays a protective role in preventing the occurrence of IAPI in patients undergoing surgery in the prone position. There was no significant protective effect of intraoperative foam dressing in patients with other surgical characteristics.

Objective To study the protective effect of shenfu injection on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.Methods 120 male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats(320-350 g) were randomly divided into sham operation group,model control group,Nimodipine injection group,low,medium and high dose group of shenfu injection according to gender weight.20 males in each group were given medicine once a day for 7 days before operation.The cerebral ischemia model was established by thread embolization after 5 days of administration.In the sham operation group,the other operations were the same as those in the model group except for carotid artery ligation and thread insertion.After 24 hours of perfusion,the neurological score,abdominal aorta blood flow,malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GHS) levels in brain tissues were measured.Triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining was used to calculate the area of cerebral infarction and pathological examination of brain tissues.Results Compared with the model control group,the middle and high dosage of shenfu injection could obviously improve the nerve function and increase the percentage of cerebral infarction area (P ＜ 0.05);the high dosage group of shenfu injection could obviously decrease the whole blood viscosity (P ＜ 0.01);the middle and high dosage of shenfu injection could obviously reduce the level of MDA in rat brain tissue (P ＜ 0.01) while increasing the levels of SOD and GSH (P ＜0.01),finally could significantly improve the pathological changes of brain tissues such as mild swelling of nerve fibers,mild neuronal degeneration,inflammatory interstitial edema and inflammation.Conclusions Shenfu injection has obvious protective effect on cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in rats.
