1.Research progress of Livin gene in tumors
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(10):741-744
Livin,a novel member of human inhibitor of apoptosis protein family,is highly expressed in various malignant tumors. It plays an important role in the initiation,development,treatment and prognosis of tumors.Many studies have proved that down-regulation of Livin expression using RNA interference technique can reduce tumor growth,increase the apoptotic rate,and sensitize tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemo therapy.Full-length Livin is cleaved by the effector caspases to produce a truncated form (tLivin) with apoptosis-promotion activity.tLivin provides a new direction for the treatment of the malignant tumors.
2.Research on the full-time model for healthcare social workers
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2017;33(9):694-697
The paper introduced the present full-time practice of medical social workers in China, with in-depth analysis of the roadblocks encountered.The problems include but are not limited to multiple stakeholders without a healthy resources relationship network, lack of powerful government support in policy and resource orientation, absence of drivers for hospitals to deliver social service, immature social organizations, and poor capacity to link resources.Based on such, the authors explored the establishment of a development model for full-time medical social workers on a multiple cooperation platform, in such perspectives as the government, social worker organizations, hospitals, and third-party performance appraisal.

AIM:To observe the characteristics of estrous cycle of female ICR mice and ovariectomized mice that had reached sexual maturity stage .METHODS:ICR mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, normal group, sham operation group and ovariectomized group .After ovariectomy and sham operating , at the 8th day, the mice were taken vagi-nal smears twice daily (09:00 and 16:00) for 12 consecutive days.The feature of vulva in the mice and vaginal smear cy-tology, occurrence rate of regular estrous cycle , duration of estrous cycle and each stage duration of estrous cycle were re -corded and observed .RESULTS:The characteristics of estrous cycle in normal group and sham operation group were simi-lar.Nearly 85%of the ICR mice in sexual maturity stage showed regular estrous cycle .The majority manifested 6-day cy-cle (83%), and only a small number exhibited 5-day cycle (17%).Compared with 5-day group, the duration of oestrus was significantly increased in 6-day group (P<0.05).The number and kind of the cells in vaginal smear were a little dif-ferent between 5-day and 6-day groups.The ovariectomized mice which showed irregular estrous cycle (76%) were charac-terized by continuous diestrus .CONCLUSION:Female ICR mice have the strain characteristics of estrus cycle .

Objective:To explore the effect of continuous obstetric-pediatric cooperative nursing on anxiety, depression and the parenting sense of competence in NICU premature mothers.Methods:Totally 140 mothers of NICU preterm infants in hospital from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected and randomly divided into the control group and intervention group according to the method of random number table, and each group 70 cases. The control group received the routine nursing mode in obstetrics and paediatrics and the intervention group received the continuous obstetric-pediatric cooperative nursing based on routine nursing. To compare the anxiety level, depression level, the score of parenting sense of competence, hospitalization days of preterm infants, the outpatient rate and the readmission rate of preterm infants within 1 months of discharge between two groups.Results:The levels of anxiety and depression of the mothers of premature infants in the intervention group during hospitalization ,1 week after discharge and 1 month after discharge were (43.17±6.89), (8.96±2.67), (34.65±6.87), (7.65±1.92), (34.97±6.06), (6.29±1.54) points, lower than control group (47.03±8.06), (10.97±3.34), (45.44±7.72), (9.43±2.61), (41.46±7.26), (8.28±2.23) points, the differences between the two groups showed statistical significance ( t value was 2.331-6.097, P<0.05). The two dimensions of parenting efficacy and parenting satisfaction were (31.47±4.97), (43.38±4.21) points, which were higher than (25.91±5.42), (39.43±5.91) points of the control group, there were significant statistical differences among the two groups ( t value was -6.314 and -4.528, P<0.01). The hospitalization days of premature infants, outpatient and readmission rate within 1 month of discharge were (13.25±3.27) days, 8.57% (6/70), 2.86% (2/70), which were shorter or lower than (15.59±2.79) days, 24.29% (17/70), 12.86% (9/70) in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( t value was 2.909, χ2 values were 6.295, 4.834, P<0.05). There were significant statistical differences among interaction effect, time effect and intergroup effect ( F values were 4.921-99.310, P<0.05). Conclusion:Obstetrical-pediatric cooperative nursing can effectively to lower the anxiety and depression level of preterm mothers, improve the parental competence, promote the mental health of preterm mothers, and ultimately shorten hospital days and decrease the rate of outpatient and readmission of premature infants, which is conducive to preterm infants′ rehabilitation.

Aim To explore the relationship between Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 ( MRN ) complex focus formation and DNA double-strand breaks( DSBs) caused by cinob-ufagin in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Methods The Na+,K+-ATPaseα1 subunit expression level in liver cancer tissues was detected by immunohis-tochemistry. After HepG2 cells were treated with 5μmol·L-1 cinobufagin for 6, 12 and 24 h, the drug-in-duced DSBs were assessed by single cell gel electro-phroesis ( SCGE ) , the gene transcription and protein levels of Mrel1, Nbs1, Rad50 and p53 were evaluated by Real time-PCR and Western blot. The cell cycle in parallel was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results The Na+, K+-ATPase α1 subunit expression level in liver cancer tissues was significantly increased compared with the tissue adjacent to carcinoma ( P <0. 05 ) . The 5μmol · L-1 cinobufagin could induce the DSBs in a time-dependent manner (P <0. 05), and it could up-regulate the gene expression levels of Mre11, Nbs1, Rad50 and p53 in HepG2 cells ( P<0. 05 ) . The pro-portions of HepG2 cells in S phase were ( 21. 32 ± 4. 21) % in the control group, and (33. 25 ± 5. 72) %, (56. 72 ± 6. 29) % and (67. 32 ± 9. 42) % in HepG2 cells treated with 5 μmol · L-1 cinobufagin for 6, 12 and 24 h, respectively. The proportions of cells in S phase in cinobufagin groups were significantly increased compared with the control group ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclu-sion Cinobufagin could induce the cell cycle arrest in liver cancer HepG2 cells by activation of Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 Complex.

The British and French language analogy method in bilingual teaching was applied to the clinical students who were learning medical French in Kunming Medical University. Based on the students' good English foundation , a series of problems were solved properly such as contradictions between the professional course and foreign language classes , unmatched textbooks and teaching con-tents, the teachers' quality by lexical analogy and textual analogy and the rational allocation of the British and French language analogy teaching content. The teaching contents and methods were also properly worked out and good results were got.

It is a thorny problem of modern medicine that the in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Combining with the etiology and pathogenesis of TCM, Professor LIU Zhong-yong believes that the root cause of ISR after PCI is the deficiency syndrome: menstruation gradually dying up, the heart yang qi deficiency; and the direct cause is excess syndrome: endogenous turbidity syndrome, heart vessel blockage. The cause for the formation of turbidity syndrome is cold, phlegm, blood stasis, poison, and dampness. Depending on the clinical manifestations, five kinds of syndromes were divided: cold turbidity stagnation, phlegm turbidity resistance, blood stasis blockage veins, poison turbidity, and dampness turbidity resistance. Professor LIU Zhong-yong also proposed relevant treatment for both symptoms and root causes, which provided new ideas and experience in the integrated TCM and Western medicine for ISR after PCI.
