Objective Analysis of nitroglycerin combined with predictive nursing in the clinical application of coronary heart disease patients. Methods From January 2015 to December 2016, 200 patients with coronary heart disease were treated with angina pectoris. The patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group (100 cases). The control group was treated with routine nursing mode, and the patients in the observation group were treated with predictive nursing mode. The differences of hospitalization time and quality of life scores between the two groups were observed. The anxiety and depression of the two groups were observed before and after treatment, and the satisfaction of the two groups was observed. Results The scores of hospitalization and quality of life in observation group were better than those in control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between SAS score and SDS score before treatment, but SAS score and SDS score of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group (P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of the patients in the observation group was better than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Predictive nursing has a good effect in the clinical nursing of patients with coronary heart disease and angina pectoris. It can effectively improve the patients' anxiety and depression, shorten the hospital stay and improve the quality of life. It is worth to be used in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effects of Arctigenin ( ATG ) on concanavalin ( ConA )-stimulated cell proliferation and cytokine secretion in mouse spleen cells, and its possible mechanism. Methods The toxicity of ATG on mouse spleen cells was determined by MTT assay. The inhibition of proliferation was investigated by tritiat-ed thymidine incorporation method. Secreted cytokines (IFN-γand IL-2) were analyzed by ELISA. The associated proteins and phosphorylation levels of mTOR pathway ( mTOR/P70 S6 K/Akt/AMPK/Raptor ) were detected by Western blot. Results ATG had no significant toxicity to mouse spleen cells. ATG significantly inhibited mouse primary spleen cells proliferation induced by ConA. ATG suppressed IL-2 and IFN-γ production of mouse spleen cells in a concentration-dependent manner. ATG remarkably suppressed the phosphorylation of mTOR and P70S6K, and enhanced the phosphorylation of upstream AMPK and Raptor, while the phosphorylation of Akt did not change significantly. Conclusion ATG markedly suppresses the proliferation of mouse spleen stimulated by ConA cells and secretion of IFN-γand IL-2 , which may be correlated to the abilities of enhancing the phosphoryla-tion of AMPK and Raptor, inhibiting the phosphorylation of mTOR and P70S6K.

Objective To construct HaCaT cell lines stably expressing the wild type human GJB6 gene or its mutant by using a Tet-On lentiviral vector, and to lay an experimental foundation for studies on pathogenesis of hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. Methods The wild-type human GJB6 gene and its mutant (A88V)were amplified by PCR, and then inserted into the Tet-on lentivirus plasmid to construct recombinant lentivirus vectors. The recombinants were identified by gene sequencing and enzymatic digestion. Cultured HaCaT cells were classified into three groups to be transfected with a negative control lentiviral vector (NC group), the lentivirus vector expressing the wild-type human GJB6 gene (WT group), or the lentivirus vector expressing the mutant human GJB6 gene (MU group). Puromycin was used to select HaCaT cell clones stably expressing the GJB6 gene which encodes the connexin 30 (Cx30)protein. The selected HaCaT cell clones were cultured with or without tetracycline for 48 hours, thereafter, real-time PCR(RT-PCR) was performed to detect GJB6 gene mRNA expression, Western-blot analysis to measure expressions of Cx30 and FLAG-tag proteins, and cell counting kit 8 (CCK8)assay to evaluate cellular proliferative activity. Results Enzymatic digestion and gene sequencing showed that recombinant lentivirus plasmids were successfully constructed. RT-PCR showed evidently increased mRNA expression of the GJB6 gene in stably transfected HaCaT cells. Moreover, the expression abundance of the GJB6 gene was 112.369 times higher in the WT group induced by tetracycline than in that without tetracycline treatment (P < 0.05), and 2.249 times higher in the MU group induced by tetracycline than in that without tetracycline treatment (P < 0.05). Western-blot analysis showed that Cx30 and FLAG-tag proteins were stably expressed in the WT group and MU group after induction with tetracycline, while neither of them was observed in the WT group or MU group without tetracycline treatment, or in the NC group. Significant differences were noted in cellular proliferative activity (expressed as the absorbance value at 450 nm)between the MU group with and without tetracycline treatment and between the WT group with and without tetracycline treatment at 4, 8, 12, 24, 36 and 48 hours (all P <0.05), but not between the NC group with and without tetracycline treatment at any of the above time points (all P >0.05). Conclusion HaCaT cell lines which stably express the wild-type GJB6 gene or its mutant(A88V)are successfully constructed.
