Objective To describe the phenotype of NK cells in Bama miniature pigs, and establish an efficient activation and culture method for porcine cytokine-induced killer ( CIK) cells in vitro. Methods The porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMCs) were isolated by Percoll gradient centrifugation, and the phenotype of NK cells was test-ed by detecting the CD2 + /CD8 + /CD3 - cell compartment. To establish an efficient activation and culture method for por-cine CIK cells, we optimized the culture conditions to improve the CIK activation efficiency. Results Using the optimized induction culture conditions, the ratio of CIK ( CD2 + /CD8 + /CD3 -) cells was up to 43. 63% at the fifth day, approxi-mately 5. 59 times increased compared with the initially separated PBMCs. Cell proliferation experiments showed that three obvious fluorescence peaks were observed on the fifth day. The results indicated that the induced CIK cells underwent three times cell division, in theory, about increased 8-fold compared with the initial separation of PBMCs. Furthermore, the qRT-PCR result of the surface markers of porcine NK cells also showed a similar variation tendency as the flow cytometry results. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate the successful establishment of an efficient activation and culture method for porcine CIK cells in vitro.

Objective:To understand the current situation and demand of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training for PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province, and provide a reference for further improving and improving the training of PICC specialist nurses.Methods:From July 7-23, 2019, a total of 903 PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province were selected by the convenience sampling method. The nurses were investigated by the self-made general information questionnaire of PICC specialist nurses in Shandong Province and the training demand questionnaire of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique.Results:40.75% (368/903) PICC specialist nurses had participated in intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training; 84.27% (761/903) PICC specialist nurses thought it necessary to conduct intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training. PICC specialist nurses had various training on intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique, the average content requirements were all above 4.67 points. The highest score of theoretical training content was the judgment of the relationship between catheter tip position and electrocardiogram P wave (4.80 ± 0.47), and the highest score of operation training content was the intracavitary electrocardiography guided PICC catheterization (4.74 ± 0.55). 94.24%(851/903) PICC specialist nurses hoped to achieve the goal of improving clinical nursing practice ability through intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique training. Intravenous therapy specialist academic conference was the main hoped training form(76.85%, 694/903). Multiple regression analysis showed that the number of years of catheterization, job position and understanding of the technology were the influencing factors of PICC specialist nurses′ training needs for intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique ( t = -3.73,3.12, -3.63, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The training rate of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique was low, but PICC specialist nurses had higher training requirements for intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique. Managers should pay attention to the training of intracavity electrocardiographic positioning technique, and develop targeted training programs to further improve the clinical practice capabilities of the PICC specialist nursing team.
