Twenty-four novel benzothiazole derivatives containing arylpiperazine were designed and synthesized by bioisosterism principle. Anti-proliferative effect of these synthesized compounds against four cancer cell and two normal cell lines were evaluated in vitro by the standard MTT assay. Pharmacological test showed that most of the compounds exhibited potent antitumor activity. Some of the compounds (II2, II3, II6, II7) showed strong anti-proliferation activities against HepG2 and HeLa229 cell lines with the IC 50 values of 1.6-4.5 micromol x L(-1) and 2.5-5.3 micromol x L(-1), respectively, and compounds having cyan in p-substituted benzene ring (I4, I8, I12, II4, II8 and II12) were found to have better antitumor activities against AsPC-1 cell lines with the IC50 values of 5.2-11.3 micromol x L(-1). The structure-activity relationship of benzothiazole derivatives containing arylpiperazine was also discussed preliminarily.

Objective To investigate the effects of the popliteofibular ligament (PFL) and/or the popliteus tendon (POP) reconstruction in an external rotation injury model of the knee.Methods Six nonpaired cadaveric knees were tested under the following POP and PFL states:intact,sectioned,and reconstructed using 3 different techniques.Each knee was subjected to 5 N·m external rotation torque at flexion angles of 0°,30°,45°,60°,90°,and 120°.A navigation system was used to measure the motion changes of the tibia with respect to the femur.Results The external rotation increased 2.1°±0.7° (2.0°-2.3°) after sectioning only PFL while flexing the knee from 30° to 120°,and increased 1.3°±1.2° (0.5°-2.0°) after sectioning only POP while flexing the knee from 30° to 120°.There was no significant difference between two groups.There was significant increase in external rotation as 4.1°±1.6° (2.8°-5.0°) after sectioning both POP and PFL.Comparing the POP and POP+PFL reconstruction techniques to the intact state,there were significant differences.The external tibial rotation in POP or POP+PFL reconstruction group was significant different from that in intact or PFL reconstruction group while flexing the knee from 30° to 90°.Conclusion In a LCL-intact PLC injury model,the POP and PFL function as a unit in resisting external rotation.All surgical procedures we described and tested are able to reduce the increased external rotational laxity found in the sectioned state.The PFL reconstruction is able to restore external rotation to near normal.However the techniques involving POP reconstruction over constrained external rotation during laxity testing.

[Objective] To investigate the expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (EIF5A2) and its clinical significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).[Methods] Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of EIF5A2 protein in 135 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,and analyzed the correlation between the expression of EIF5A2 protein and clinicopathological parameters,and its prognosis value.[Results] Immunohistochemical analysis showed that 68 cases were overexpressed in 135 cases of ESCC.Pearson's chi-square test indicated that the expression of EIF5A2 in ESCC was significantly correlated with T stage (P =0.006),lymph node metastasis (P =0.031) and clinic stage (P =0.026).The Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that EIF5A2 was an independent prognostic risk factor for ESCC patients.Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the median survival time of patients with the low expression was 72.5 months,which was significantly higher than that of patients with the high expression,the median survival time of it are 51.7 months (P ＜ 0.05).[Conclusion] The overexpression of EIF5A2 may contribute to the development and progression of ESCC and EIFSA2 could be a novel potential prognostic marker for ESCC.

In this study, hollow fiber membrane extraction combined with ambient ionization mass spectrometry ( AMS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of 7 perfluorinated compounds ( PFCs) in aqueous solution, including perfluoroheptanoic acid ( PFHpA ) , perfluorooctanoic acid ( PFOA ) , perfluorooctane sulfonate acid ( PFOS ) , perfluorononanoic acid ( PFNA ) , perfluorodecanoic acid ( PFDA ) , perfluoroundecanoic acid ( PFUdA) , and perfluorododecanoic acid ( PFDoA) . PFCs were detected in negative ion mode using selective reaction monitoring ( SRM) mode. The extraction time and the pH value of extraction solution were optimized. 13 C4-PFOS and 13 C4-PFOA were used as internal standards for quantitative analysis. The method showed good linearity with correlation coefficient values ( r2 ) greater than 0. 991 for the seven target PFCs. With the exception of PFHpA, the limit of detection ( LOD) for other six PFCs was within ranges from 0. 8 to 2. 7 ng/L while the limit of quantitative (LOQ) was from 2. 7 ng/L to 8. 9 ng/L. The enrichment factor of five PFCs was more than two hundred. The developed method was applied to detect the seven PFCs in tap water and Pearl River water, and they were all not detected. The recoveries were within the ranges of 88. 5%-108. 3% and 94. 2%-116. 7% when 40 ng/L and 400 ng/L PFCs were spiked into tap water, respectively. In terms of the Pearl River water, the recoveries were within the ranges of 75. 0%-102. 6% and 81. 2%-97. 6% when 40 ng/L and 400 ng/L PFCs were spiked, respectively.

Objective To develop and validate the Knowledge-Attitude-Practice Scale for Prevention of Occupational Low Back Pain for Nurses (hereinafter referred to as KAP). Methods Based on the knowledge, attitudes and practice theory, a list of 48 potential items were developed by reviewing literatures related to the prevention of occupational low back pain in nurses. The Delphi expert consultation method was used to conduct two rounds of consultation on the items, and the KAP (draft) with 31 items was formed. A total of 269 nurses in a hospital in Guangdong Province were selected as study subjects by convenience sampling method and investigated with the KAP (draft). The list was selected and its validity tested using SPSS 25.0 software. Results The authority degrees of two rounds of expert consultation were 0.919 and 0.922. All of the recovery rates of valid questionnaires were >80.0%, with the coefficients of variation ranged from 0.07 to 0.40 and 0.05 to 0.28. The Kendall's concordance coefficients were 0.198 and 0.274, respectively (all P<0.05). After item selection, five items were removed, resulting in the KAP with 28-item including three dimensions： knowledge, attitude and behavior. The scale-level content validity index/average was 0.976, and the item-level content validity index ranged from 0.833 to 1.000, as assessed by experts. The scale demonstrated 100.0% for convergent and discriminative validity of the three dimensions. The exploratory factor analysis revealed three factors with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 51.0%. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the overall scale and knowledge, attitude, and behavior dimensions were 0.880, 0.878, 0.895, and 0.877, respectively. Split-half reliability coefficients were 0.922, 0.863, 0.852, and 0.820, respectively. Conclusion The KAP shows good reliability and validity and can be used to assess knowledge, attitude and practice levels related to occupational low back pain prevention among nurses.

Papillorenal syndrome,also known as renal coloboma syndrome,is an autosomal donunant inherited condition typically featured by congenital aplasia of kidneys and eyes,most of which occur in childhood.Studies have revealed that a mutation in PAX2 gene is the critical etiology of Papillorenal Syndrome.The PAX2 gene is located at chromosome 10q23-24,encoding PAX2 protein isoform c,which belongs to the transcription factors family paired box family that regulate downstream gene expression and play an important role in development of organs such as the kidney and the eye.Mutations in PAX2 result in structural and functional abnormality of PAX2 protein isoform c,which leads to the dysplasia of the related organs.More than 80 mutations in the PAX2 gene have been currently reported,causing various clinical phenotypes.The mutational analysis of the PAX2 gene would be of help to direct the diagnosis,monitoring and treatment of papillorenal syndrome.This review summarizes the research progress of papillorenal syndrome and mutations in the PAX2 gene.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC), as a pathological type with high malignancy, presents a high risk of early brain metastasis. Prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) can reduce the risk of brain metastasis in patients with SCLC, however, the incidence of brain structural and functional damage caused by PCI is high, and their clinical symptoms are not typical. The existing treatment methods can relieve some clinical symptoms, but can not effectively reverse the process of brain injury, which reduces the survival benefit of patients. In-depth understanding the mechanisms of PCI neurotoxicity and exploring effective strategies for ptevention and treatment are of great value in improving prognosis of SCLC.

The mixed evaluation system uses the network platform as a carrier to construct a dynamic evaluation model that spans time and space between online and offline, between individuals and teams. Mixed evaluation system of physiology was performed for two years, and the process evaluation and the summative evaluation in the mixed evaluation system showed a good correlation, and the students' learning ability and learning effect showed consistency with the evaluation results. Practice has proved that the mixed evaluation system not only optimizes the traditional evaluation system, but also fully expands the five principles of formative evaluation; however, while reflecting the advantages of the network platform, it also exposes the defects of insufficient supervision of the network platform. Thus, we should further improve the mixed evaluation system of physiology.
