Objective:To investigate the killing effects in vitro of a new photosensitizer black titanium dioxide b-TP-700-mediated photodynamics on prostate cancer cell line PC-3 cells.Methods:The b-TP-700 was successfully prepared by using solid phase in situ thermal reduction method. PC-3 cells were treated with 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1 000 μg/ml b-TP-700 for 12, 24, 48 h. The cell activity was detected by using CCK-8 method, and the morphology of PC-3 cells was observed by using confocal fluorescence microscope, the toxicity of b-TP-700 to PC-3 cells was also judged. PC-3 cells were treated with different concentrations of b-TP-700 (31.25, 62.5, 125, 250, 500 μg/ml) and irradiated with laser (1 W/cm, 808 nm) for 1, 3, 5, 7 min. The cell activity was detected by using CCK-8 method. The production of reactive oxygen species in PC-3 cells cultured in 250 μg/ml b-TP-700 after laser irradiation for 5 min was detected by using confocal fluorescence microscopy. The non-laser irradiation cells were selected as the control group.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in cell activity of PC-3 cells treated with different concentrations of b-TP-700 for the same time ( F value was 1.26, 0.39 and 0.37, respectively; all P > 0.05). PC-3 cells were treated with 1 000 μg/ml b-TP-700 for 24 h, no obvious morphological changes and no obvious dead cells were observed under fluorescence microscope. When PC-3 cells were treated with the same concentration of b-TP-700, the activity of PC-3 cells was decreased with the extension of laser excitation time. Under the same laser excitation time, the activity of PC-3 cells was decreased with the increase of b-TP-700 concentration (all P < 0.05). Under laser irradiation, obvious green fluorescence could be detected in the PC-3 cells treated with 250 μg/ml b-TP-700, while almost no green fluorescence could be observed in the control group. Conclusions:A new photosensitizer b-TP-700 has the good reactive oxygen generation ability. b-TP-700-mediated photodynamics show obvious killing effects on prostate cancer PC-3 cells in vitro, which is expected to be a new method for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Objective:To automatically and rapidly detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in an objective manner using natural language processing (NLP).Methods:A total of 215 participants (half female) aged 50 to 80 were recruited for the study′s normal cognition and MCI groups. Speech tasks and the mini mental state examination (MMSE-2) were used to collect audio data and quantify cognitive functioning. Altogether 162 acoustic features were extracted including the speaking speed, syllable number, syllable duration, number of pauses, duration of pauses, the standard deviation of formant frequency and sound pressure variation. They were compared between the two groups and genders. Multiple regression analysis was used to formulate a model predicting MCI. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of its predictions were used to evaluate its predictive power.Results:There were significant differences between the two groups in 50 acoustic features including their pronunciation rhythm and pronunciation accuracy. Univariate correlation analysis revealed that the pronunciation rhythm was significantly associated with cognitive functioning. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the model were 0.54, 0.80 and 0.69 for males and 0.00, 0.86 and 0.63 for females.Conclusion:MCI greatly affects pronunciation rhythm. Acoustic analysis based on NLP can detect MCI rapidly and objectively.

Management of bone defects caused by fractures，bone tumors or infections is clinically difficult as well as a hot topic in current studies. With further researches over bone defects，the construction of tissue-engineered bone has played a great role in the treatment of bone defects. Blood vessels not only provide the necessary nutritional mineral salts，growth factors，hormones for bone formation，also are able to mediate the interaction among osteoblasts and osteoclasts，osteocytes，bone autonomic nerve and endothelial cells，since bone formation exist spatially and temporally connection with angiogenesis. Therefore，the authors make a systematic literature review on the research progress of the coupling mechanism of angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation，blood vessels and related signal pathways on osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis-related molecules in osteogenic differentiation during the process of traumatic bone defects，so as to provide new ideas for the treatment of bone defects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status of self-management in patients with spinal cord injury and the related factors. MethodsFrom May, 2020 to February, 2021, 255 patients from a spinal cord injury club were enrolled, and investigated with the general information questionnaire, self-management ability scale, Chronic Disease Self-efficacy Scale through internet. Multiple linear stepwise regression was used to explore the related factors. ResultsThe scores of disease symptom management, daily life management, intermittent catheterization behavior management, emotional management and social return were (40.458±9.122), (33.945±6.800), (36.709±8.736) and (25.011±4.932), respectively. The average score for the single question of daily life management was the highest (3.772±0.755), while emotional management and social return was the lowest (3.573±0.705). Duration of intermittent catheterization, family members' attitude, self-efficacy and occupation were the related factors of symptom management (R² = 0.135, F = 7.744, P < 0.001). Self-efficacy, duration of intermittent catheterization, use of hydrophilic coated catheters and complications were the related factors of daily life management (R² = 0.173, F = 13.042, P < 0.001). Self-efficacy, duration of intermittent catheterization, use of hydrophilic coated catheters and medical insurance were the related factors of intermittent catheterization behavior management (R² = 0.141, F = 10.259, P < 0.001). Self-efficacy, duration of intermittent catheterization, complications and frequency of intermittent catheter in the last week were the related factors of emotional management and social regression dimensions (R² = 0.282, F = 19.590, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe self-management of patients with spinal cord injury by clean intermittent catheterization is at medium level. Moreover, it may be affected by many factors. Some of them can be targets of intervention.
