Objective To guide new nurses to establish positive and correct occupational self-concept, enhance occupational identity and delay job burnout by adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses. Methods Randomly selected 56 new nurses of our hospital in recent years as research objects. 28 nurses enrolled in 2013 formed the experimental group and 28 nurses enrolled in 2014 formed the control group. The experimental group focused on nurses themselves. In the 10-month standardized training, 30 class-hour traditional culture education was added and more than 180 times of social practices were conducted; for the control group, only standardized training was carried out. Effects before and after, all subjects were examined occupational self-concept and desert jobs rate after work 2 years. Results The occupational self-concept of the experimental group tended to reach a positive level, which was (33.14±2.15) points, obviously higher than that of the control group, which was only (30.57 ± 3.03) points. Therefore, the difference was statistically significant(t=3.703 4,P<0.01). In terms of dimensions of comprehensive self- concept, employee relationships and communication ability were (4.92 ± 0.50), (6.34 ± 0.54), (5.87 ± 0.44) points in the experimental group and (4.40 ± 0.63), (5.89 ± 0.77),(5.55 ± 0.64) points in the control group, the experimental group had significant improvements (t=3.458 1, 2.561 9, 2.206 4, P<0.01). Comparing the separation rates of the two groups after two years, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusions Adding traditional culture education in the standardized training for newly recruited nurses plays a positive role in promoting their occupational self-concept.

Cell-free protein expression system is a new method to express target protein in vitro and has been widely applied to the study of protein structure, protein function and other related fields. Preparation of cell extract is one of the key factors that affect the efficiency of the cell-free system. To improve the efficiency and economical feasibility of cell-free protein synthesis, we discussed the parameters during the preparation of the cell extract. These parameters include centrifugation speed, pre-incubation, and dialysis. We used the green fluorescent protein as the reporter protein, and obtained a simple procedure for the preparation of Escherichia coli cell extract. A simple centrifugation step (12 000 x g, 10 min) followed by a brief incubation was sufficient for the preparation of an active cell extract to support protein expression with higher productivity (209 microg/mL). Compared to the traditional E. coli S30 procedure, the processing time was reduced by 62%, and the productivity was increased by 2.6 times. The new procedure will make the advantage of cell-free technology more obvious, and promote its wider application.

PURPOSE: In our previous studies we showed that upregulating claudin-6 (CLDN6) expression may contribute to preventing breast cancer, and that 17beta-estradiol induces a concentration- and time-related effect on CLDN6 mRNA and protein expression in MCF-7 cells. However, the mechanisms of 17beta-estradiol regulation of CLDN6 are still unclear. We determined the role of estrogen receptors in the regulation of CLDN6 expression in human breast cancer tissues and a cell line. METHODS: CLDN6, estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) expression in breast cancer tissues were examined using immunohistochemistry. The human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, which expresses ERalpha but not ERbeta was used. CLDN6 and ERalpha expression were measured by reverse transcriptase-PCR, Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining. Treatments with propyl pyrazole triol (PPT) and ICI 182, 780 (ICI) were performed. RESULTS: The results revealed that CLDN6 expression was related to ERalpha in breast cancer tissues (p=0.033). PPT, an ERalpha-selective ligand, upregulated CLDN6 expression at 10-5 mol/L after 24 hours. The effect of PPT on regulating CLDN6 expression in MCF-7 cells was blocked by ICI. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that Eralpha reulates CLDN6 expression in breast cancer tissues and that 17beta-estradiol induces CLDN6 expression through an ERalpha pathway in MCF-7 cells.

Objective:To analyze the expression of CD27 on T lymphocytes in the microenvironment of multiple myeloma (MM), and explore whether CD27 level or the CD27-/CD27+ ratio of T-cell affect the prognosis of MM patients.Methods:A total number of 103 newly-diagnosed MM patients from January 2016 to June 2019 were enrolled in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Harbin Medical University. All patients received bortezomib-based three-drugs combination regimen. The expression of CD27 on T lymphocytes in bone marrow aspirate samples was detected by flow cytometry before any treatment. MM patients were divided into two groups according to the CD27 level: CD27-high expression group (CD27 expression on T-cells ≥20%) and CD27-low expression group (CD27 expression on T-cells <20%). The clinical characteristics, treatment response and prognosis of patients between the two groups were analyzed using χ 2-test. The survival and clinical information of patients were compared using Kaplan-Meier method, and the related factors related to the survival of MM were analyzed using Cox proportional risk model. Results:Among 103 MM patients, 68 cases (66.0%) were included in CD27 high expression group, and 35 cases (34.0%) were included in low expression group. The percentage of bone marrow plasma cells and β2-MG level in CD27 high expression group were higher than those in CD27 low expression group significantly (54.4% [37/68] vs 22.9% [8/35], χ2=9.352, P=0.002;58.8% [40/68] vs 37.1% [13/35], χ2=4.348, P=0.037), and the proportion of ISS stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ in CD27 high expression group was higher than the counterpart (79.4% [54/68] vs 60% [21/35], χ2=4.399, P=0.036). After 4 cycles of three-drug combination therapy, the overall response rate ( ORR=stringent complete response+complete response+very good partial response+partial response) of the low CD27 expression group was higher than the high expression group (82.9% [29/35] vs 38.2% [26/68], χ2=18.489, P<0.01). The deep response rate to treatment (stringent complete response+complete response+very good partial response) was higher (48.6% [17/35] vs 27.9% [19/68], χ2=4.326, P=0.038), and the progression, free surviva (PFS) was longer (21months vs.14.1months, t=18.655, P<0.001) in the low expression group compared with CD27-high group. Univariate analysis showed that CD27-/CD27+T lymphocyte ratio, ISS stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ, age ≥65 years, β2-Mg ≥3.5 mg/L, and plasma cell proportion ≥30% were associated with the poor prognosis of MM patients, and the differences were significant statistically ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that CD27-/CD27+T lymphocyte ratio was an independent prognostic factor for 2-year overall survival (OS)( HR=2.425, 95% CI 1.216-4.835, P=0.012) and 2-year PFS ( HR=1.881, 95% CI 1.085-3.260, P=0.024) in MM patients. Conclusions:The expression of CD27 in T lymphocytes is correlated with the prognosis, treatment response and progression-free survival of MM. The ratio of CD27-/CD27+T lymphocytes is an independent prognostic indicator.

Objective:To analysis effectiveness of the "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and "nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy (combined screening strategy) for screenin the imported patients with COVID-19 in Xiamen.Methods:The study populations were overseas travelers arriving in Xiamen from March 17 to December 31, 2020, and overseas travelers who had quarantine outside Xiamen for less than 21 days from July 18 to December 31, 2020. Data were collected and analyzed on the timing of detection, pathways, and test results of the imported patients with COVID-19 after implementing combined screening strategy.Results:A total of 304 imported patients with COVID-19 were found from 174 628 overseas travelers and 943 overseas travelers from other cities. A total of 163 cases (53.6%) were diagnosed by multitime, multisite intensive nucleic acid testing after positive finding in total antibody testing. Among them, 27 (8.9%) were first positive for nucleic acid in 14 plus 7 day quarantine and 136 were first positive for nucleic acid in 14-day quarantine. Only 8 of these individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after positive total antibody testing. The other 128 individuals were tested positive for nucleic acid after being negative for average 2.3 times (maximum of 6 times). Aditional 155 cases might be detected by using the combined "14 plus 7 day quarantine" and " nucleic acid plus total antibody testing" strategy compared with "14-day quarantine and nucleic acid testing" strategy, accounting for 51.0% of the total inbound infections. So the combined screening strategy doubled the detection rate for imported patients with COVID-19. No second-generation case caused by overseas travelers had been reported in Xiamen as of February 26, 2021.Conclusions:Xiamen's combined screening strategy can effectively screen the imported patients with COVID-19 who were first positive for nucleic acid after 14 day quarantine. Compared with "14 day quarantine and nucleic acid testing", the combined screening strategy improved detection rate and further reduced the risk of the secondary transmission caused by the imported patients with COVID-19.

Objective:To analyze the status of respiratory pathogen detection and the clinical features in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP). Methods:A prospective, multicenter study was conducted to collect clinical data, including medical history, laboratory examinations and multiplex PCR tests of children diagnosed with MPP from 4 hospitals in China between November 15 th and December 20 th, 2023. The multiplex PCR results and clinical characteristics of MPP children in different regions were analyzed. The children were divided into severe and mild groups according to the severity of the disease. Patients in the severe group were further divided into Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) alone and Multi-pathogen co-detection groups based on whether other pathogens were detected besides MP, to analyze the influence of respiratory pathogen co-detection rate on the severity of the disease. Mann-Whitney rank sum test and Chi-square test were used to compare data between independent groups. Results:A total of 298 children, 136 males and 162 females, were enrolled in this study, including 204 children in the severe group with an onset age of 7.0 (6.0, 8.0) years, and 94 children in the mild group with an onset age of 6.5 (4.0, 7.8) years. The level of C-reactive protein, D-dimer, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were significantly higher (10.0 (5.0, 18.0) vs. 5.0 (5.0, 7.5) mg/L, 0.6 (0.4, 1.1) vs. 0.5 (0.3, 0.6) mg/L, 337 (286, 431) vs. 314 (271, 393) U/L, Z=2.02, 2.50, 3.05, all P<0.05), and the length of hospitalization was significantly longer in the severe group compared with those in mild group (6.0 (6.0, 7.0) vs. 5.0 (4.0, 6.0) d, Z=4.37, P<0.05). The time from onset to admission in severe MPP children was significantly shorter than that in mild MPP children (6.0 (5.0, 9.5) vs. 9.0 (7.0, 13.0) d, Z=2.23, P=0.026). All patients completed the multiplex PCR test, with 142 cases (47.7%) MPP children detected with 21 pathogens including adenovirus 25 cases (8.4%), human coronavirus 23 cases (7.7%), rhinovirus 21 cases (7.0%), Streptococcus pneumoniae 21 cases (7.0%), influenza A virus 18 cases (6.0%). The pathogens with the highest detection rates in Tianjin, Shanghai, Wenzhou and Chengdu were Staphylococcus aureus at 10.7% (8/75), adenovirus at 13.0% (10/77), adenovirus at 15.3% (9/59), and both rhinovirus and Haemophilus influenzae at 11.5% (10/87) each. The multi-pathogen co-detection rate in severe MPP children was significantly higher than that in mild MPP group (52.9% (108/204) vs. 36.2% (34/94), χ2=10.62, P=0.005). Among severe MPP children, there are 89 cases in the multi-pathogen co-detection group and 73 cases in the simple MPP group. The levels of LDH, D-dimer and neutrophil counts in the multi-pathogen co-detection group were significantly higher than those in the simple MPP group (348 (284, 422) vs. 307 (270, 358) U/L, 0.8 (0.5, 1.5) vs. 0.6 (0.4, 1.0) mg/L, 4.99 (3.66, 6.89)×10 9vs. 4.06 (2.91, 5.65)×10 9/L, Z=5.17, 4.99, 6.11, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The co-detection rate of respiratory pathogens, LDH and D-dimer in children with severe MPP were higher than those with mild MPP. Among severe MPP children the stress response of children in co-detection group was more serious than that of children with simple MPP.
