Objective: To observe and compare the clinical efficacy and safety of rifapentine and rifampicin in the treatment of tuberculosis. Methods: From January 2015 to January 2018, 398 tuberculosis patients admitted to Tuberculosis Clinic of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Cixi were selected and randomly divided into observation group and control group by complete Random Distribution Method, with 199 cases in each group.The two groups were given basic treatments such as isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol.On this basis, patients in the control group were treated with rifampicin, and the observation group was treated with rifapentine.The treatment time of both two groups was 6 months.The sputum bacterial conversion rate, lesion absorption rate and cavity closure rate were observed, and the clinical treatment effect and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. Results: The sputum bacteria conversion rate (77.89%), lesion absorption rate (71.86%) and cavity closure rate (74.87%) in the control group were significantly lower than those in the the observation group(96.98%, 91.96%, 95.98%) (χ²=31.03, 27.13, 35.60, all P<0.01). The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.97%, which was higher than 75.88% of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=38.37, P<0.01). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the observation group was 12.56%, which was significantly lower than 29.56% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ²=17.59, P<0.01). Conclusion Compared with rifampicin, rifapentine is effective in treating pulmonary tuberculosis patients with high safety and effective improvement of clinical symptoms, which is worthy of further application.

Objective To explore the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the expression of inflammatory genes in A549 cells line under different concentrations and different action time, this study laid the foundation for further establishment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) cell model in the optimal concentration-time way. Methods A549 cells line was incubated routinely in 5%CO2 incubator at 37 ℃ with high glucose DMEM medium which included 10% fetal calf serum. Cells in logarithmic phase was cultured for passage, the cells was count to adjust cell density to (5-7)×105 and tile evenly in six-hole plate. Cells were cultivated for 2 days and once the cells confluence to 50%-60%, serum-free medium DMEM was changed for 12 hours cultivation. 10 mg LPS was added to 10 mL DMEM for oscillated blending to prepare 1 g/L stock solution. 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5 mL LPS stock solution was taken respectively and diluted LPS stock solution for 50 mL constant volume to prepare 0, 10, 20 and 50 mg/L LPS working solution. Then 0, 10, 20 and 50 mg/L LPS solution was added to react for 0, 1, 3 and 5 hours respectively. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to examine mRNA expression of A549 cells line interleukins (IL-6, IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α). LPS action of 10 mg/L for 0 hour was used as the time control group, LPS action of 0 mg/L for 1 hour was used as the concentration control group, and the gene expression was calculated with 2-ΔΔCt method. Results ① As to the time factor, with the same action of LPS concentration, the relative expression levels of inflammatory genes (IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α) in A549 cells line after being treated with 10 mg/L LPS for 1 hour were significantly higher than those for 0 hour respectively [IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 5.71±0.42 vs. 1.00±0.00, IL-1β mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 5.63±0.30 vs. 1.00±0.00, TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 5.38±0.61 vs. 1.00±0.00, all P < 0.01], and there were no significant changes in the expression levels of inflammatory genes in A549 cells line of other time groups. ② As to the concentration factor, with the same action time, the relative expression levels of inflammatory genes (IL-6, IL-1βand TNF-α) in A549 cells line after being treated with 10 mg/L LPS for 1 hour were significantly higher than with 0 mg/L for 1 hour respectively [IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 5.70±0.64 vs. 1.00±0.00, IL-1β mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 6.25±0.25 vs. 1.00±0.00, TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCt): 5.57±0.25 vs. 1.00±0.00, all P < 0.01], there were no significant changes in the expression levels of inflammatory genes in A549 cells line of other concentration groups. Conclusion The LPS concentration of 10 mg/L and the action time of 1 hour are the most suitable concentration-time conditions for establishing ARDS cell models of A549 cells line.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the roles of interleukin (IL)-17A in risk stratification and prognosis of patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SAKI). Methods: We enrolled 146 sepsis patients (84 non-SAKI and 62 SAKI patients) admitted to the emergency department from November 2020 to November 2021. Patients with SAKI were differentiated based on the severity of acute kidney injury. All clinical parameters were evaluated upon admission before administering antibiotic treatment. Inflammatory cytokines were assessed using flow cytometry and the Pylon 3D automated immunoassay system (ET Healthcare). In addition, a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilized to determine the prognostic values of IL-17A in SAKI. Results: The levels of creatinine, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-17A, tumor necrosis factor alpha, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin (PCT) were significantly higher in the SAKI group than in the non-SAKI group (p < 0.05). The level of IL-17A revealed significant differences among stages 1, 2, and 3 in SAKI patients (p < 0.05). The mean levels of PCT, IL-4, and IL-17A were significantly higher in the non-survival group than in the survival group in SAKI patients (p < 0.05). In addition, the area under the ROC curve of IL-17A was 0.811. Moreover, the IL-17A cutoff for differentiating survivors from non-survivors was 4.7 pg/mL, of which the sensitivity and specificity were 77.4% and 71.0%, respectively. Conclusion: Elevated levels of IL-17A could predict that SAKI patients are significantly prone to worsening kidney injury with higher mortality. The usefulness of IL-17A in treating SAKI requires further research.

Purpose: From the perspective of positive psychology, our study aimed to explore depressive symptomsand psychological well-being among Chinese nurses, as well as analyze the impacts of characterstrengths, self-efficacy and social support on the mental health of nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive design using five self-reported questionnaires was used toinvestigate a cohort of 4238 nurses during 2018. A structural equation modeling analysis was used toverify a hypothetical model linking character strengths, self-efficacy, social support, depressive symptoms,and psychological well-being. Results: The prevalence of depression among this cohort of Chinese nurses was 58.1%. The mean scoresfor caring, inquisitiveness, and self-control were 19.93 (SD = 2.82), 15.94 (SD = 3.00), and 16.34(SD = 2.95), respectively. The hypothesized model was a good fit of the data (x2/df = 1.77, p = .183, rootmean square error of approximation = 0.04, goodness of fit index = 1.00, comparative fit index = 1.00,TuckereLewis index = 1.00). Except for the path from self-control to depression, the other hypotheticalpaths investigated were statistically significant. Conclusion Character strengths were directly and positively associated with psychological well-being.Inquisitiveness was the strongest direct protective factor for depression. In addition, characterstrengths indirectly alleviated depression and increased psychological well-being through mediatingvariables of social support and self-efficacy. This study should alert nurse managers that more attentionshould be paid to the character strengths and mental health of nurses. This study provides evidence forinterventions based on character strengths as a management strategy to support the mental health ofnurses.
