OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Xingding Injection on the expression of heat shock protein 72 (HSP 72) in vascular endothelial cells after ultraviolet radiation. METHODS: Porcine aortic endothelial cells were cultured for 72 hours in culture mediums with different concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, 10 mg/ml) of Xingding Injection. Ultraviolet radiation was administered to the cultured cells for 30 minutes. Western-blot assay was used to measure the expression of HSP 72 in the vascular endothelial cells. RESULTS: There was no expression of HSP 72 in the cultured vascular endothelial cells without ultraviolet radiation, but there was some expression of HSP 72 after ultraviolet radiation. Xingding Injection of different concentrations could significantly improve the expression of HSP 72. The expression of HSP 72 in the vascular endothelial cells cultured in culture medium with 1.0 mg/ml Xingding Injection was the highest, and there was no more increase of expression when the concentration was higher, instead the expression decreased. CONCLUSION: Xingding Injection can protect the vascular endothelial cells from injury during stress. It may be one of its mechanisms in preventing and treating cardio-cerebrovascular disorders.

Objective To explore the serum expression of DKK1 protein, a Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its relationship with osseous metastasis. Methods Serum DKK1 protein levels were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in NSCLC patients, including 33 NSCLC patients with osseous metastasis and 41 NSCLC patients without respectively, and 32 healthy volunteers were served as the control group. Furthermore, the differential expression of the serum DKK1 protein level between the patients and the volunteers was compared by using the variance analysis and the independent sample t test. The correlation between DKK1 expression and bone metastasis was detected by Pearson correlation analysis. Results Serum DKK1 protein level of NSCLC patients was (79.6±8.3) ng/ml, which was significantly higher than that in healthy volunteers [(21.5±6.4) ng/ml, t=13.17, P=0.001]. The serum DKK1 level in osseous metastasis group was (110.3±11.4) ng/ml, which was significantly higher than that in non-skeletal metastasis group [(60.7±10.5) ng/ml, t=14.128, P=0.003]. The positive association was observed between the DKK1 level in the peripheral blood and osseous metastasis in NSCLC patients (r=0.855, P<0.001). Conclusion The serum expression level of DKK1 protein in NSCLC patients is closely related to the osseous metastasis, which may be a predicting biomarker for the osseous metastasis.

Objective To describe the current situation of pre-hospital delay and health belief in patients with colorectal cancer and explore the relationship between them. Methods With convenient sampling methods,totally 385 patients with colorectal cancer were recruited from January to June 2016. Patients with colorectal cancer were investigated using a general data survey questionnaire, visit situation questionnaire and the Champion Health Belief Model Scale. Results The median pre-hospital delay time was 3.00 months.The rate of pre-hospital delay was 43.1%(166/385). The score of the overall health belief was (119.52 ± 12.62) points. The two dimensions of"perceived susceptibility and perceived severity" scored lower, and the two dimensions of "health motivation and perceived therapeutic benefits" scored higher. The health belief was negatively correlated with the pre- hospital delay among colorectal cancer patients (r=- 0.737, P<0.01). Conclusions Pre-hospital delay occurred among patients with colorectal cancer is severe. Patients with a higher level of health belief have shorter pre-hospital delay.It′s important to improve the level of health belief of"perceived susceptibility and perceived severity"and reduce the time of pre-hospital delay to improve outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective:To explore the teaching effectiveness of curriculum ideological and political teaching model for Fundamentals of Nursing based on outcome based education concept.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 194 undergraduates of grade 2019 from School of Nursing at University of South China were selected as the control group from February to December 2021, and 146 undergraduates from 2020 were selected as the experimental group from February to December 2022. The control group was taught in accordance with the conventional teaching methods, and the experimental group was taught in the ideological and political teaching model of Fundamentals of Nursing based on outcome based education concept. After the intervention, the total course scores of nursing undergraduates in the two groups were compared, and the cognitive attitude, implementation effect and teaching satisfaction of the experimental group students on "ideological and political curriculum" were compared.Results:After the intervention, the total course score of nursing undergraduates in the experimental group was (85.65±7.31), and that in the control group was (77.71±7.28), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.01). The cognitive attitude score of undergraduate nursing students in the experimental group towards "ideological and political curriculum" was (32.62±2.15), and the implementation effect score of "ideological and political curriculum" was (22.78±1.78). The satisfactory form of ideological and political cases for undergraduate nursing students in the experimental group was news reports and hot events, and the satisfactory ideological and political teaching method was experiential teaching method and case-based teaching method. Conclusions:The curriculum ideological and political teaching model of Fundamentals of Nursing based on outcome based education concept can improve the academic performance of nursing undergraduate students and provide reference for the construction of ideological and political teaching courses in nursing basic courses. In the future, this teaching model can be applied to the teaching reform of other nursing courses in order to accelerate the progress of ideological and political construction of professional courses.

Kv2.1 channel currents in pancreatic beta-cells are thought to contribute to action potential repolarization and thereby modulate insulin secretion. Because of its central role in this important physiological process, Kv2.1 channel is a promising target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Jingzhaotoxin-XI (JZTX-XI) is a novel peptide neurotoxin isolated from the venom of the spider Chilobrachys jingzhao. Two-microelectrode voltage clamp experiments had showed that the toxin inhibited Kv2.1 potassium currents expressed in Xenopus Laevis oocytes. In order to investigate the structure-function relationship of JZTX-XI, the natural toxin and a mutant of JZTX-XI in which Arg3 was replaced by Ala, were synthesized by solid-phase chemistry method with Fmoc-protected amino acids on the PS3 automated peptide synthesizer. Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and matrix assisted laser desorption/ ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) were used to monitor the oxidative refolding process of synthetic linear peptides to find the optimal renaturation conditions of these toxins. The experiments also proved that the relative molecular masses of refolded peptides were in accordance with their theoretical molecular masses. RP-HPLC chromatogram of co-injected native and refolded JZTX-XI was a single peak. Under the whole-cell patch-clamp mode, JZTX-XI could completely inhibit hKv2.1 and hNav1.5 channels currents expressed in HEK293T cells with IC50 values of 95.8 nmol/L and 437.1 nmol/L respectively. The mutant R3A-JZTX-XI could also inhibit hKv2.1 and hNav1.5 channel currents expressed in HEK293T cells with IC50 values of 1.22 micromol/L and 1.96 micromol/L respectively. However, the prohibitive levels of R3A-JZTX-XI on hKv2.1 and hNav1.5 channels were reduced by about 12.7 times and 4.5 times respectively, indicating that Arg3 was a key amino acid residue relative to the hKv2.1 channel activity of JZTX-XI, but it is also an amino acid residue correlated with the binding activity of JZTX-XI to hNav1.5 channel. Our findings should be helpful to develop JZTX-XI into a molecular probe and drug candidate targeting to Kv2.1 potassium channel in the pancreas.
