Objective To obtain the molecular epidemiology of human Parechovirus (HPeV)infections m children with central nervous system (CNS)-related disease and sepsis,as well as understand the pathogenic properties of HPeV infections by detecting HPeV in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood samples.Methods From January to December in the year of 2009,a total of 359enterovirus-negative specimens including 210 CSF and 149 blood samples were collected from 328children <14 years of age who were hospitalized for CNS-related disease and sepsis at Children's Hospital,Fudan University,Shanghai,China.HPeV was detected by nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),and then directly genotyped by sequencing nested RT-PCR product of VP3/VP1 region.Ninty-nine blood samples from healthy children were collected as controls during the same period.Results Twenty-seven children (8.2%) were HPeV positive in 328 children.HPeV infections were found in all age groups of children and the highest frequency was seen in children <3 months old (18.2%,12/66).HPeV was detected in several months,with the peak in December (18.8%,9/48).Of all the positive samples,20 were genotyped successfully and identified to be HPeV1.No HPeV infections were found in blood of healthy controls.ConclusionsHPeV is the pathogen of CNS infections and sepsis in children.HPeV screening should be enrolled in the routine virus testing in specimens obtained from children.HPeV1 is the prevalent type in children in the year of 2009 in Shanghai.

Aim To investigate the myocardial hypertrophy,the expression of transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1),Smad3 and Smad7 proteins in spontaneous hypertensive rats(SHR)and the effects of benazepril and candesartan.Methods SHRs of 12 weeks old were given benazepril and candesartan for 12 weeks.The tail arterial pressure was measured every two weeks.At 12 th weekend,cardiac configuration,heart mass index,area of cadiocytes,concertrations of AngⅡin plasma and myocardium,expressions of TGF-?1、Smad3 and Smad7 proteins were measured respectively.Results The arterial pressure,wall thickness,heart mass index,area of cardiocytes and the expressions of TGF-?1,Smad3 proteins increased in SHRs but were attenuated after the treatment of benazepril or candesartan.After the combined treatment,the synergistic effect could be observed.The levels of cardiac tissue and plasma AngⅡwere reduced.The expressions of Smad 7 were up-regulated after the treatment of benazepril or candesartan,while they were stable after the combined use.Conclusion There is a synergistic effect of attenuating myocardial hypertrophy in SHRs by combined use of benazepril and candesartan.It may be related to the regulation of Ang Ⅱ,decreasing the expressions of TGF-?1 and Smad3.

Objective To investigate the current status of self-efficacy and care ability among stroke patients′ family caregivers and explore the correlation between them. Method A total of 79 stroke patients and family caregivers were engaged in the investigation by demographical data questionnaires, general self-efficacy scale and questionnaire for assessing the comprehensive care-giving ability of stroke caregivers. Results The score on self-efficacy of the family caregiver was (27.16 ± 5.64) and the total score on care ability was (90.01 ± 16.57). There was a positive correlation between self-efficacy and care ability of family caregivers(P<0.05). Conclusions The self-efficacy and care ability of stroke patient′s family caregivers are at middle level. Their self-efficacy is positively correlated with their care ability. The nurses can improve the ability of daily caring of family caregivers by enhancing their self-efficacy.

Objective To detect the expression of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) CCAT1 in human papillary thyroid cancer, and to observe the effect of CCAT1 down-regulation on the invasion and migration of human papillary thyroid cancer.Methods The expression of CCAT1 was detected in human normal thyroid Nthy-ori 3-1 cells and human papillary thyroid cancer TPC-1 cells.CCAT1 siRNA plasmid was transfected into TPC-1 cells.The effect of CCAT1 down-regulation on cell invasion and migration was observed by Transwell chamber assay and scratch test, and the expressions of BRAF, MUC15 and RKIP proteins were detected by Western blot.Results The level of CCAT1 in human papillary thyroid cancer TPC-1 cells was significantly higher than that in human normal thyroid Nthy-ori 3-1 cells.CCAT1 down-regulation significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of TPC-1 cells.The Transwell invasion assay revealed that the number of migrated TPC-1 cells in the CCAT1 down-regulation group was significantly lower than that in the control group.The scratch test showed an increased distance between cells in the CCAT1 down-regulation group compared to the control group, suggesting a reduced cell motility.The expressions of BRAF and MUC15 proteins were decreased in the CCAT1 down-regulation group, while that of RKIP protein was increased.Conclusions The expression of CCAT1 in papillary thyroid cancer cells is significantly higher than that in normal human thyroid cells.Down-regulation of CCAT1 in papillary thyroid cancer cells may inhibit the cell invasion and migration by regulating the expression of BRAF, MUC15 and RKIP proteins.

Aim To develop a sensitive,rapid and ac-curate LC-MS /MS method for the simultaneous deter-mination of cytochrome P450 probe substrates,inclu-ding caffeine and its metabolite paraxanthine for CYP1 A2,omeprazole and its metabolite 5-hydroxyome-prazole for CYP2C1 9,dextromethorphan and its metab-olite dextrorphan for CYP2D6,midazolam and its me-tabolite 1 ′-hydroxymidazolam for CYP3A4.Methods Probe drugs with the IS diazepam were extracted using ethyl acetate.Gradient elution was performed on an Agilent Eclipse Plus-C1 8 column (50 mm ×2.1 mm, 3.5 μm).The mobile phase consisted of 0.01 % for-mic acid(1 mmol·L -1 ammonium formate)and aceto-nitrile.The flow rate was 0.3 mL·min -1 ,and the in-jection volume was 1 0 μL.The analyte was detected u-sing electrospray ionization(ESI)in positive multiple reaction monitoring(MRM+)mode.The reaction se-lected ions were 1 95.0 /1 38.1 m /z for caffeine, 1 81 .1 /1 24.1 m /z for paraxanthine,346.1 /1 98.1 m /z for omeprazole,362.1 /21 4.1 m /z for 5-hydroxyome-prazole, 272.2 /1 47.1 m /z for dextromethorphan, 258.1 /1 57.1 m /z for dextrorphan,326.1 /291 .1 m /z for midazolam,342.1 /324.1 m /z for 1 ′-hydroxymid-azolam and 285.1 /1 54.0 m /z for diazepam as internal standard.Results The linear ranges of caffeine,pa-raxanthine,omeprazole,5-hydroxyomeprazole,dextro-methorphan, dextrophan, midazolam and 1 ′-hydroxymidazolam were 1 .95 ~2 000,0.98 ~250, 0.48 ~2 000,0.98 ~250,0.98 ~2 000,0.48 ~1 25,1 .95 ~2 000 and 1 .95 ~250 μg·L -1 respec-tively.The RSD of all probe drugs was less than 1 5%and matrix effects in plasma on the ionization of probe drugs were negligible.Conclusion This sensitive and rapid LC-MS /MS method is suitable for determination of the drug/metabolite concentrations in plasma,so as to study the metabolism of CYP1 A2, CYP2C1 9, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 in depth.

Objective To explore the sleep characteristics in first-episode schizophrenics and the effects of olanzapine on body weight and sleep-breathing disorder.Methods 36 first-episode schizophrenics (patient group) and 33 normal controls (control group) were tested with polysomnography(PSG),and compared the difference of PSG,sleep-breathing index and body mass index(BMI) before and after treatment in patient group.Results Before treatment,compared with control group,the patient group had significantly prolonged sleep latency((83.64± 10.62) min vs (29.41 ± 10.05) min),shortened total sleep time ((286.43 ± 17.04) min vs (343.66 ± 16.38)min),decreased sleep efficiency((65.73 ±11.47) vs (86.13 ± 8.15)),increased awake time and arousal number((65.70 ± 10.33) min vs (25.93 ± 9.60) min ; (38.26 ± 6.88) vs (14.40 ± 2.72)) in sleep continuity ; and increased N1 stage ((87.43 ± 11.35) min vs (36.55 ± 6.40) min),decreased N2,N3 stage ((100.53 ± 10.42)minvs (143.35±13.52)min;(49.83±7.51)minvs (87.52±9.74)min) in sleep structure (P < 0.05).After treatment,sleep continuity and sleep structure in patient group were improved,compared with control group,only BMI,arousal index and hypopnea index had statistic difference (P < 0.05).Conclusion The first-episode schizophrenics have both sleep continuity and sleep structure deficits.Although olanzapine treatment can improve sleep quality,long-term use of it may cause overweight and sleep-breathing disorder.
