Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2018;38(2):206-211
Objective: To explore the influencing factors and pathways of clinicians' tumor marker prescription behavior in lung diseases, so as to find out the methods and measures to promote clinicians to optimize the tumor marker prescription. Methods: From July 24, 2017 to August 10, 2017, clinicians with willingness and the right of prescription mainly from hospitals in Shanghai and Beijing were invited to participate in survey on influencing factors of tumor marker prescription behavior in lung diseases. Based on the classical theoretical framework of IMB model, an IMB theoretical model of clinicians' tumor marker detection behavior was proposed. Statistical description and correlation analysis were performed by SPSS 24.0, and the IMB theoretical model was validated and corrected by AMOS 24.0. Results: The personal intention (r=0.251, P=0.000) and personal interest protection (r=0.178, P=0.007) had a significant positive correlation with information. Meanwhile, the personal intention (P=0.000) and personal interest protection (P=0.013) had a significant positive effect on behavioral skills, and the behavioral skills had a significant positive effect on tumor marker prescription behavior (P=0.000). There was no direct effect of information on behavioral skills, and motivation had no direct effect on tumor marker prescription behavior. Behavioral skills played a mediating role in the process of motivation influencing the tumor marker prescription behavior. Conclusion: The large percentage of irrational tumor marker prescription in lung diseases suggests the universality of inappropriate testing, which needs the joint efforts of governments, hospitals, clinicians and patients on improvement.

Objective To investigate the influence of motor impersistence on functional recovery and prog- nosis of patients with left hemiplegia. Methods A total of 64 in-patients with left side hemiplegia who were able to understand the oral instructions were assigned into a motor impersistence group (n = 31 ) and a control group (n = 34) , respectively, according to the assessment with Scale of Motor Impersistence developed by Joynt. Both groups were comparable in terms of the basic clinical characteristic and motor function of patients except motor impersis- tence. The conventional rehabilitation training programs were adopted for all patients in this study. Brunnstrom func- tional category, Ueda Satoshi hemiplegic finger function assessment scale, upper limb function assessment scale, Berg balance scale, Functional ambulatory category, Modified Barthel Index were employed to evaluate the subjects before and after 1 and 2 months of treatment, with regard to the motor function of their upper limbs, walking ability, activities of daily living performance and balance ability. Results After 1 month of treatment, the patients in the M1 group were significantly improved with regard to the motor function of upper limbs, hand function, standing ba- lance and activity of daily living performance( P0.05 ) , while those in the control group were improved with all the parameters except the lower limb function. After 2 months of treatment, patients in both groups were all significantly improved ( P

In order to study the regularity of shedding virus from infected SPF chickens and the formation of aerosol of H9N2 subtype AIV, SPF chickens were bred in a positive and negative pressure isolator. Aerosol samples were collected by AGI-30 (All Glass Impinger-30) extractor, and simultaneously trachea and cloaca samples were collected by tracheal swabs and cloacal swabs in different periods after challenged with vi- ruses. The above-mentioned samples were detected by HI, Dot-ELISA and RT-PCR methods. The results in- dicated that aerosols were isolated from the 4 days to the 43 days after inoculation. It was proved that H9N2 subtype AIV could copy themselves in respiratory passage and cloaca, and then could formation of aerosols. AIV H9N2 subtype could be isolated from cloacal and tracheal swabs 3 days after inoculation and lasted for 45 days, viruses were detected from all infected SPF chickens on 7 days.

Objective To study the enhancing effect of ultrasound plus microbubble on small interference RNA(siRNA)transfection in vitro and in vivo.Methods Human vascular epithelial growth factor(VEGF)siRNA with 2'deoxy modification(VEGF 2'-eoxy siRNA,VdsR)was used.The human CNE cells(fromnasopharyngeal carcinoma)line was used for in vitro cell-based experiments and in vivo mouse xenograft model.Two different microbubble agents.BR14 and Levovist.were used together with the RNA transfection reagent RNA-mate.ELISA and RT-PCR assays were used to assess VEGF gene expression.Immunohistochemical staining (IHC)was performed to assess CD31 expression in xenograft tumors.Results VdsR transfection in CNE cells abolished VEGF expression as determined by ELISA experiments.In the first mouse xenograft experiment,ultrasound exposure dramatically enhanced VdsR-mediated tumor inhibition.In the second mouse xenograft experiment,when VdsR was mixed with the microbubble reagents and then injected into xenografts,ultrasoundexposure significantly reduced tumor growth in BR14-mixed VdsR group but not in the Levovist-mixed VdsR group compared to the control.RT-PCR experiments demonstrated that VEGF expression in ultrasound-exposed tumors was significantly lower than that in the control.Meanwhile,VEGF expression in the tumor tissue treated by BRl4-mixed VdsR declined as compared with the controls.Tumor vascular density as measured by CD31 immunostaining was significantly decreased in ultrasound-exposed tumors compared to the control.Conclusions Ultrasound exposure and/or microbubble can significantly enhance delivery and the efficiency of VdsR-mediated anti-tumor effects,and should be a location-specific enhancement approach for siRNA-based anti-cancer therapy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Danshensu on the lipid metabolism of hyperlipidemic rats.
METHODSixty clean male SD rats were selected. Twelve of them were selected in the basic control group and fed with common foods, and the remaining rats were fed with the high-fat feeds. After the successful modeling, they were randomly divided into the high-fat control group and low dose (10 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)), medium dose (20 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) and high dose (40 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1)) Danshensu (dissolved in saline) groups. Both of the two groups were abdominally injected with the same volume of normal saline once a day for consecutively 30 days. The serum TG, TC, HDL-C and liver ACC1, FAS, HMGR, CPT-I mRNA expressions were detected.
RESULT AND CONCLUSIONDanshensu could inhibit the LDL-C level, timely clear redundant cholesterol and effectively regulate the lipid metablism of hyperlipidemic rats by reducing the TC content, decrease the fatty acid by reducing the FAS mRNA expression, and reduce the synthesis levels of endogenous cholesterol by inhibit the HMGR mRNA expression.

Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii, an opportunistic pathogenic protozoan, is widely distributed worldwide and can cause
zoonoses, which is a serious threat to human health. Nowadays, the relationship between T. gondii infection and
neuropsychiatric diseases has attracted researchers' attention increasingly. T. gondii infection is related to the pathogenesis of
many neuropsychiatric diseases by affecting the nervous system, such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's disease, and so
on. This review will focus on the relationship between T. gondii infection and neuropsychiatric diseases and summarizes the
possible mechanisms of disorders resulting from T. gondii infection. It is expected that the study on the related pathogenic
mechanism of T. gondii will lead to new therapeutic directions and feasible solution for the clinical treatment of
neuropsychiatric diseases caused by T. gondii infection.
