AIM:To detect the endogenous expression of B-cell leukemia/lymphoma 6 member B (BCL6B) in FHC and LoVo cells, and to investigate the effects of BCL6B on proliferation and migration of LoVo cells for further explo-ring the underlying mechanism .METHODS:The endogenous expression of BCL 6B in the FHC and LoVo cells was detec-ted by RT-PCR and Western blot .The methods of MTT assay , colony formation assay , wound healing assay and Transwell chamber experiment were employed to examine the biological functions of BCL 6B in the LoVo cells.The mRNA and protein levels of BCL6B, cyclin D1 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 ( MMP-9) were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot , re-spectively.The level of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) was detected by Western blot.RESULTS:BCL6B ex-pression was notably repressed in the LoVo cells as compared with the FHC cells , which were significantly increased by transfection with pcDNA3.1-BCL6B.The abilities of proliferation and migration of the LoVo cells at 72 h were inhibited by 28.33%(P<0.01) and 36.11%(P<0.05) in BCL6B group.The mRNA levels of cyclin D1 and MMP-9 in the cells of BCL6B group were decreased by 39.90%(P<0.01) and 77.36% (P <0.05), and the protein levels of cyclin D1, MMP-9 and p-AKT were reduced by 44.00%(P<0.05), 47.06%(P<0.01) and 32.88% (P<0.05), respectively. CONCLUSION:BCL6B inhibits proliferation and migration of the LoVo cells , and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is in-volved in this process .

Human-like collagen (HLC) was cross-linked with hyaluronic acid by genipin in different ratio. The concentrations of hyaluronic acid in the mixture were 0, 0.01%, 0.05% and 0.1%. The blood vessel tubular grafts were then fabricated by freeze-drying. Microstructure, element composite, mechanical properties, cytotoxicity grade, and biocompatibility of different vascular scaffold groups were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), tensile test, burst pressure experiment, cytotoxicity experiment, endothelial cells planted in blood vessel scaffolds and hypodermic embedding of mice. The results showed that HLC-HA (0.05%) tubular scaffold exhibited interconnected well-distributed and porous structure and porosity of 94.38%; achieved the desirable mechanical property with stress of (1000.8 +/- 7.9) kPa and burst pressure of (1058.6 +/- 8.2) kPa, hypocytotoxicity, favourable cytocompatibility, hisocompatibility and disposition of degradation.

Objective To evaluate the creditability of warning message of white differential count (WDF) and white precursor cell (WPC) channels in Sysmex XN-3000 hematology analyzer,and verify its optimal threshold and adjust the alarm threshold.Methods A total of 61 EDTA-K2 anticoagulated blood samples without abnormal warning and 521 EDTA-K2 anticoagulated blood samples with abnormal warning were simultaneously detected in WDF and WPC channels.After the smear specimens of blood sample were automatically prepared by the instrument,microscopic examinations were performed manually.The results of microscopic examination were considered as the gold standard to determine the reliability of the warning message from the instrument and verify the reasonability of initial warning threshold value provided by the manufacture.Consequently,the threshold values were adjusted based on the requirements in practical work.Results The warning messages of atypical lymphocytes and blasts/abnormal lymphocytes in WDF channel were higher sensitive (95.8％ and 100％ respectively),but lower specific (34.7％ and 23.5％ respectively) compared with microscopic examination.The warning messages of atypical lymphocyte,blasts and abnormal lymphocytes in WPC channel were lower sensitive (81.3％,66.7％,and 76.5％ respectively) but higher specific (61.9％,55.5％ and 88.3 ％ respectively) compared with microscopic examination.According to the ROC curve analysis,the prognostic values of warning message of microscopic examination were of medium level,except the warning message for abnormal lymphocytes was poor compared with WPC channel.Combining the practical retest rules,the optimal critical threshold values of atypical lymphocytes and blasts/Abn lymph in WDF channel were adjusted as 120,and they were adjusted as 140 in WPC channel.Conclusion The high sensitive WDF channel should first be used for screening,and the detectable warning message could be retested by using high specific WPC channel to shorten the turnaround time of the test results and improve the working efficiency.The initial critical warning threshold provided by the manufacture should be verified and adjusted to the optimum critical threshold in order to ensure the accuracy of test results.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of"2+2"medicine-education cooperation talents training mode. Methods The nursing undergraduates of 2013 grade were divided into the experimental and control group. The"2+2"medicine-education cooperation talents training mode was adopted in the former and traditional training model was used in the latter. The final examination scores of the fifth and sixth semester, scores of graduation examination, scores of the Nurse Competence Scale were compared between the two groups. Results There was no difference of scores of theory examination between the two group except the Nursing Professional English whose scores were higher in the control group. The practical skills exam scores of Medical Nursing, Surgical Nursing, Paediatric Nursing, Nursing of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Emergency Nursing, Rehabilitation Nursing, Community Nursing in the experimental group were 89.32 ± 6.02, 89.46 ± 5.29, 88.06 ± 6.34, 89.32 ± 5.58, 83.99 ± 6.44, 82.58 ± 5.78, 83.56±6.12, the control group were 87.72±5.90, 87.85±6.32, 85.59±5.79, 87.45±5.65, 81.82±6.06, 80.34± 5.89, 81.28±5.42, and the differences were statistically significant (t=2.052-3.261, P<0.05). The total and practical skills scores of graduation examination in the experimental group were 82.86±4.92, 85.60±4.54, which were 81.07 ± 5.52, 84.07 ± 4.59 in the control group. There were significant differences between the two groups (t=2.060, 2.011, P<0.05). The total score of Nurse Competence Scale and scores of the four dimensions of Teaching-coaching, Managing situations, Ensuring quality, Work role were 74.95 ± 3.40, 76.38 ± 3.98, 75.49 ± 3.23, 75.42 ± 2.72, 77.49 ± 2.76 in the experimental group, the control group were 73.63 ± 4.39, 72.90 ± 4.23, 74.12 ± 4.19, 74.32 ± 3.36, 76.46 ± 3.24, respectively. The differences were statistically significant (t=2.021- 2.492, P<0.05). Conclusions The"2 + 2"medicine- education cooperation talents training mode is proved to be an effective way to train nursing applied talents to meet regional demands.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization and the prognosis in patients with extensive burns, in order to explore the hemoglobin warning threshold for blood transfusion in patients with extensive burns.Methods:The research was a retrospective observational study. From October 2012 to October 2022, 288 patients with extensive burns who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University), including 243 males and 45 females, aged 18 to 65 years. These patients were assigned to the death group ( n=54) and the survival group ( n=234) based on their final prognosis. The clinical data including gender, age, body mass index, total burn area, full-thickness burn area, time of first operation after injury, preoperative prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and hemoglobin level of the first surgery, complication of inhalation injury, number of surgeries, total surgical area, total surgical time, total length of hospital stay, and highest procalcitonin value, lowest platelet count and hemoglobin values, and occurrence of sepsis during hospitalization were compared between the two groups of patients. According to the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization, the patients were assigned to <65 g/L group, ≥65 g/L and <75 g/L group, ≥75 g/L and <85 g/L group, and ≥85 g/L group. The total length of hospital stay, mortality and incidence of sepsis during hospitalization, and mortality within 90 days after injury were compared among the four groups of patients. The relationship between the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization and the mortality risk of patients with extensive burns was analyzed using a restricted cubic spline model before and after adjusting covariates. A logistic regression model was adopted to analyze the relationship between the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization and the mortality risk of patients with extensive burns after adjusting covariates, with the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization as a continuous variable and a categorical variable, separately. Results:Compared with those in survival group, the total burn area, full-thickness burn area, and total surgical area of patients in death group were significantly increased, the preoperative APTT of the first surgery was significantly prolonged, the number of surgeries was significantly reduced, the total length of hospital stay was significantly shortened, the highest procalcitonin value during hospitalization was significantly increased, the lowest platelet count and hemoglobin values during hospitalization were significantly decreased, and the incidence proportion of sepsis during hospitalization was significantly increased (with Z values of -6.72, -5.40, -2.15, -2.99, -2.21, -7.84, -6.23, -7.03, and -3.43, respectively, χ2=161.95, P values all <0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the other clinical data of patients between the two groups ( P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in mortality and incidence of sepsis during hospitalization, and mortality within 90 days after injury of patients among the four groups divided according to the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization (with χ2 values of 12.12, 15.93, and 10.62, respectively, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total length of hospital stay of patients among the four groups ( P>0.05). The restricted cubic spline model analysis revealed an approximately linear relationship between the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization and the mortality risk of patients with extensive burns before and after adjusting covariates (with χ2 values of 0.81 and 0.75, respectively, P>0.05). After adjusting covariates, the logistic regression model analysis showed that the mortality risk of patients with extensive burns increased with decreasing hemoglobin when the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization was analyzed as a continuous variable (with odds ratio of 0.96, with 95% confidence interval of 0.92 to 0.99, P<0.05). When using the median value of 75.5 g/L as the cut-off value for categorizing the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization, there was no statistically significant difference in the mortality risk between patients with hemoglobin <75.5 g/L and those with hemoglobin ≥75.5 g/L ( P>0.05). When the patients were divided into four groups based on the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization as above, using ≥85 g/L group as a reference, only patients in <65 g/L group had a significantly increased mortality risk (with odds ratio of 5.37, with 95% confidence interval of 1.57 to 18.29, P<0.05). Conclusions:There is an approximately linear correlation between the lowest hemoglobin value during hospitalization and the mortality risk of patients with extensive burns. When the hemoglobin level drops to 65 g/L or lower, the mortality risk of patients increases significantly, suggesting that a hemoglobin level of 65 g/L could serve as a warning threshold for blood transfusion in patients with extensive burns.
