Objective To investigate the relationship between the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)1A receptor gene C(-1019)G polymorphism and geriatric depression and Alzheimer′s disease (AD) with depressive symptoms in Han Chinese. Methods The case control study was used in the study among 106 patients with geriatric depression, 72 AD patients with depressive symptoms and 150 healthy old individuals in China. The C(-1019)G polymorphism of 5-HT1A was analyzed with the technique of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results The frequencies of 5-HT1A genotype C/G (39.6%), G/G(24.5%) and allele G (44.3%) in the patients with geriatric depression were significantly higher than those in the controls (respectively 35.3%, 13.3%, 31.0%, P < 0.05). The frequencies of 5-HT1A G allele in the AD patients with depressive symptoms (41.0%) were significantly higher than those in the controls (31.0%,X2=4.2879, P<0.05). No significant difference in distribution of (5-HT)1A C (-1019) G polymorphism between the patients with geriatric depression and the AD patients with depressive symptoms was observed (P > 0.05). Conclusion The 5-HT1A gene C (-1019)G polymorphism may be associated with geriatric depression and AD with depressive symptoms and (-1019)G allele may be a risk factor for them.

Sall4, a member of sall4 gene family, plays important roles in embryo development; organogenesis as well as pluripotency maintenance and re-establishment. There are two isoforms of Sall4, Sall4A and Sall4B. The sequence of porcine sall4 gene is still not reported. Because of its distinct role in maintaining the pluripotent state of stem cells, we cloned and sequenced porcine sall4 gene and assessed its expression in pig tissues and embryos. One 2 372 bp nucleotide sequence representing the full-length cDNA of pig sall4 was obtained by 5'and 3'RACE. Analyses of putative protein sequence showed a 70% to 80% identity with isoform Sall4B of human and mouse. Comparing with Sall4A, the identity reduced to 30% to 55% because of the loss of a zinc-finger domain-rich fragment. Assessment of sall4b expression in porcine tissues by Real-time PCR showed that it expressed most strongly in ovary and stronger in spleen, lung, heart and testis. For preimplantation embryos, the expression level was lower in 4-cell embryos compared with other stages. Immuno-fluorescence analysis of Sall4 on porcine preimplantation embryos indicated that it expressed in all the preimplantation embryos and located in nucleus, in blastocyst it preferentially limited in ICM cells. Expression pattern in early embryos suggest that pig sall4b is associated with pluripotency and might be a new and useful reprogramming factor for establishing pig induced pluripotent stem cell lines.

Objective To investigate the role and mechanism of A20 protein in the phenotypic transformation of human dermal fibroblasts (Fb) to myofibroblasts (MFb).Methods Primary human normal skin Fb (NFb) and scar skin Fb (HFb) were isolated and cuhured by enzymatic digestion.The cells were used in logarithmic growth phase at 3-5 passages,and Fb was stimulated by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) to mimic the Fb to MFb transformation process.Cell transfection was conducted to knock out the expression of A20 in Fb,and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test,protein immunoblotting test were conducted to detect A20,type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ),type Ⅲ collagen (Col Ⅲ)and α-smooth muscle (α-SMA),and p-Smad 2 expression in Fb.Results Compared with normal skin Fb,A20 was down-regulated in pathological scar Fb (P < 0.05).After TGF-β stimulated,A20 expression was significantly decreased (P < 0.05),while the expression of fibrosis associated molecules such as Col Ⅰ,Col Ⅲ and α-SMA and p-Smad 2 was significantly increased (P < 0.05) in Fb.Knockout of A20 in Fb further promoted TGF-β induced the expression of fibrosis associated molecules such as Col Ⅰ,Col Ⅲ and o-SMA and p-Smad 2 (P < 0.05).Conclusions A20 protein is involved in the process of human dermal Fb to MFb phenotype transformation,and A20 negatively regulates the transformation effect mediated by TGF-β by inhibiting the activation of Smad signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate job satisfaction and influencing factors of medical staff in China.Methods From December 2017 to January 2018, based on the third round third-party evaluation of the Healthcare Improvement Initiative, data on job satisfaction of medical staff at 136 tertiary public hospitals in 31 provinces of China were collected.Chi-square test and binary multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors of job satisfaction.Results The job satisfaction of medical staff at 136 sample hospitals was relatively low. 34.6% of the doctors were satisfied with their job, while the corresponding rate in the nurses was 48.7%. Multi-factor analysis showed that income level, workload, doctor-patient relationship, hospital′s compensation policy, and promotion policy were all significant factors influencing medical staff′s job satisfaction ( workload OR <1, remaining variables OR >1, P <0.05 ). Conclusions Improvement of the medical staff′s job satisfaction depends on optimizing their income distribution policy, increasing their income, improving the promotion policy of professional titles, reducing their workload rationally and building a harmonious relationship between doctors and patients.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common chronic degenerative disease of cartilage, which often occurs in middle-aged and elderly patients. It can cause joint swelling, pain and limited movement. With the aging population gradually increasing in China, the prevalence of KOA is also increasing, imposing burdens on patients, families and society. At present, the clinical treatment methods for KOA mainly include physical exercise therapy, non-steroidal analgesic drug therapy, intra-articular hormone injection therapy and surgical treatment, which can improve symptoms and reduce pain but cannot effectively cure KOA. With the development of medicine, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, as a new treatment method, has the effects of nerve repair and pain relief, and has become a new choice for the treatment of KOA. This article reviews the application of PRP in KOA, so as to provide a new perspective for clinical treatment of knee osteoarthritis KOA.
