Aim ToinvestigatetheeffectsofCa2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ inhibitor KN-93 on calcium overload-induced heart injury.Methods Thirty-twoisolatedratheartswererandomlydivided into the control group,KN-93 control group,calcium paradox group,and calcium paradox with KN-93 treat-ment group.Left ventricular pressure were recorded, and the heart function was evaluated by the left ventric-ular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP ) and developed pressure (LVDP).Coronary flow (CF)were collect-ed,and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)content was de-termined.Triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining was usedtomeasuretheinfarctsize.Results Compared with the control group,KN-93 at 2. 5 μmol·L-1 had no effects on coronary flow,cardiac performance and cell death at the end of perfusion in normal rats (P>0. 05 );The hearts of calcium paradox exhibited a de-crease in LVDP and CF,meanwhile an increase in LV-EDP,LDH,and infarct size of 18 ±7. 2% (P <0. 01).2. 5 μmol·L-1 KN-93 further increased the levels of LVEDP,LDH and infarct size (P<0. 01)in Ca2+paradoxical hearts,while it provoked the decline intheCFandLVDP(P<0.01).Conclusion The data demonstrates that KN-93 aggravates heart injury in calcium paradox,it also suggests that CaMKⅡ is in-volved in the Ca2+overload-induced heart injury.

Objective:To investigate the expression of c-Jun and MMP-9 in gastric cancer tissues,para-cancerous tissues and metastastic lymph nodes,and to explore its role and significance for the clinicopathology and prognosis.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the expression of c-Jun and MMP-9 in tissue microarrays containing gastric normal mucosa(n=32),para-cancerous tissues(n=54),metastastic lymph nodes(n=41),and gastric cancer tissues(n=189).Results:The positive rates for c-Jun and MMP-9 expression in gastric cancer were 73.0%and 78.3%,respectively.The positive rates of c-Jun protein was significantly associated with the degree of differentiation(P<0.05),but was not associated with the depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,Lauren type,sex,age or size of tumor(P>0.05).The positive rates of MMP-9 was significantly associated with the depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,Lauren type and degree of differentiation(P<0.05),but was not associated with sex,age or size of tumor(P>0.05).The positive rates of MMP-9 expression in the 41 gastnc cancer tissue samples and 41 metastastic lymph node tissue samples were significantly different(P<0.05).In metastastic lymph nodes,the positive rate of MMP-9 expression was higher.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the survival rate of patients with negative c-Jun and MMP-9 expression was higher than that of patients with positive c-Jun and MMP-9 expression(P<0.05).COX regression analysis showed that c-Jun and MMP-9 expressioh was not independent prognostic factor for gastric cancer. Conclusion:The expression of c-Jun is positively associated with the degree of differentiation.The increased c-Jun expression maybe an early indicator of gastric Cancer. The high expression of MMP-9 may involve the Occurrence,development,invasion,and metastasis of gastric cancer. C-Jun and MMP-9 are useful markers for predicting the outcome of gastric cancer,but they are not independent prognostic factors.

Objective:To explore the effects of bridge in, objective, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post-assessment and summary (BOPPPS) on internal nursing teaching.Methods:Totally 220 nursing students enrolled into Zhengzhou University in 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the observation group and the control group according to the teaching mode, with 110 nursing students in each group. Nursing students in the control group receiving traditional teaching, while nursing students in the control group receiving BOPPPS teaching. The effect of the two teaching modes was compared.Results:The satisfaction rate of the observation group (98.2%) was higher than that of the control group (90.0%) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The assessment results of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01) . The total score of self-evaluation of learning effect and the score of each dimension in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The BOPPPS model shows satisfying effects in internal nursing teaching, which can increase the satisfaction of students with the teaching mode, and enhance their interest in learning, academic performance, and learning evaluation.
