Background and purpose:DOC-2 serves as one of the tumor suppressing genes in human ovarian cancer and plays a role in the process of cell growth and differentiation.This study was to investigate the role of DOC-2 in the TGF? signal pathway and verification of the interaction between DOC-2 and TGF?Ⅲ receptor.Methods:The bait vector was constructed by inserting the PID domain of DOC-2(nDOC-2)into yeast express vector pGBKT7.pGBKT7-nDOC2 was transformed into the yeast AH109 and confirmed to be expressed.After the human foetus brain cDNA library had been transformed,the positive clones was screened by both nutrition defect medium and X-?-gal.The putative positive clones were sequenced and analyzed to get the DOC-2 interactive proteins.Furthermore,after the DOC-2 cDNA and TGF?Ⅲ receptor cDNA had been co-transfected into the human ovarian cancer cell line HO-8910 together,the interaction between DOC-2 and TGF?Ⅲ receptor was investigated by immunoprecipitation and Western blot.Results:21 putative positive clones were picked after being screened and sequenced.Three of them were identified as Homo sapiens partial mRNA for betaglycan(TBR Ⅲ gene),homo sapiens protocadherin gamma subfamily C3(PCDHGC3)and APLP1(amyloid beta precursor-like protein 1).The analysis by immunoprecipitation and Western blot showed that the interaction between DOC-2 and TGF?Ⅲ receptor could form protein complex.Conclusions:The three encoding proteins might participate in the DOC-2 signal pathway.DOC-2 might play as an essential role in the TGF?signal pathway by interacting with TGF?Ⅲ receptor.

Aim To observe the antifibrogenic effect of resveratrol on mice with schistosomiasis japonica and its effect on Th1 and Th2 responses .Methods Forty-five mice infected with S.japonicum cercariae for 3 weeks were randomly divided into three groups named as infection group ( A) , resveratrol group ( B) and praz-iquantel group ( C) .Fifteen normal mice were taken as normal control group ( D) .In the 13th week post-infec-tion, all mice were sacrificed and the liver tissues were removed.Histopathological changes were observed in the liver of all groups .Splenocytes were prepared from spleens of mice with S.japonicum infection and the proportions of Th1 and Th2 cells in T cells were deter-mined by FACS respectively .RT-PCR was used to de-tect the relative IFN-γ,IL-13,TGF-βmRNA levels in liver tissue .Results After treatment , the degrees of liver fibrosis in groups B and C decreased in the 13th week post-infection ( P <0.01 ) .Compared to group A, the proportions of Th1 cells in group B significantly increased ( P<0.05 ) and the proportions of Th 2 cells in group B decreased significantly ( P <0.01 ) .The level of anti-SWA IgG 2 a in group B was significantly higher ( P<0.05) , while the anti-SEA IgG1 level in group B was lower ( P <0.01 ) than that in group A . The hepatic expression of IFN-γmRNA level in group B was higher than that in group A ( P<0.05 ) , and IL-13 ,TGF-βmRNA levels in group B were lower than in group A ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusion Resveratrol has an antifibrogenic effect through upregulating Th 1 cell re-sponse and downregulating Th 2 cell response in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum.

Objective: To observe the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of mandelic acid. Methods: Fifty Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:the blank control group (0. 1 ml/10 g), mandelic acid high (300 mg·kg-1), medium (200 mg ·kg-1 ) and low (140 mg·kg-1 ) dose groups, and the positive control ( aspirin) group, ig, qd. The analgesic effect of mandelic acid was observed by writhing test and hot plate method in mice. The ear swelling model caused by dimethyl benzene in mice was a-dopted to observe the analgesic effect. Results:Mandelic acid in each dose group could make the number of writhing in mice signifi-cantly reduced and pain threshold extended, and when compared with the blank control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 01). The writhing times of mice mandelic acid high dose group was fewer than that of the positive control group, and there was no statistically significant between the groups (P>0. 05). In low and medium dose group, the writhing times of mice were more than those of the positive control group, and there was a significant difference between the low dose group and the positive control group( P<0. 05). The pain threshold of the mice in each mandelic acid dose group was higher than that of the positive control group, the pain threshold increased significantly in the high dose group before and after the administration, and the difference was statistically signifi-cant when compared with the positive control group (P<0. 05). The effect of mandelic acid on the ear swelling of mice was not signifi-cant, and when compared with the blank control group, the difference was not significant (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Mandelic acid has significant analgesic effect, while anti-inflammatory effect is not obvious.

Objective To investigate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) towards scrub typhus control and analyse the influencing factors among residents in Longling County, Yunnan Province in 2023, so as to provide insights into management of scrub typhus in the county. Methods Two townships were randomly sampled from Longling County, Baoshan City, Yunnan Province in July 2023, and 2 to 3 administrative villages were randomly selected from each township. Then, 20 to 40 households were randomly selected from each village, and 1 to 2 villagers were surveyed in each household. Residents’ KAP towards scrub typhus control was investigated, and factor affecting residents’ KAP towards scrub typhus control were identified with independent samples t test or analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple linear regression analysis. Results A total of 417 questionnaires were allocated, and 410 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 98.32%. Of all respondents, 65.85% (270/410) heard of scrub typhus but were not familiar with it, and 12.68% (52/410) and 1.95% (8/410) were familiar and very familiar with it, respectively. Residents mainly acquired scrub typhus control knowledge via their relatives and friends. The knowledge, attitude, and behavior scores of the respondents with regard to scrub typhus were (34.14 ± 13.07), (55.04 ± 6.69), and (21.40 ± 5.61), respectively, and the total score for knowledge, belief, and behavior in relation to scrub typhus prevention and control was (110.57 ± 18.80). Univariate analysis revealed that age (F = 3.12, P < 0.05), education (F = 10.77, P < 0.05), occupation (F = 4.89, P < 0.05), frequency of outdoor activities (F = 3.61, P < 0.05), and type of place of residence (t = 1.33, P < 0.05) were the factors that influenced the participants’ scores for knowledge of the prevention and control of scrub typhus. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that literacy level (β = 10.20 to 16.71, P < 0.05) and category of residence (β = −7.23, P < 0.05) were the factors that influenced residents’ current knowledge and trust behavior in relation to scrub typhus. Conclusions Place of residence and educational level are critical factors affecting scrub typhus control among residents in Longling County, Yunnan Province. Intensified health education pertaining to scrub typhus control and appropriate behavioral interventions are required among residents living in urban areas, with a low educational level and frequent outdoor activities.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection in the treatment of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in a real-world setting.Methods:This was a real-world ambispective cohort study (MOMENT study) (Chinese clinical trial registry number: ChiCTR2200062067). Clinical data were collected from 198 patients who received mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy or combination therapy at 37 hospitals from January 2022 to January 2023, including 166 patients in the retrospective cohort and 32 patients in the prospective cohort; 10 patients in the treatment-na?ve group and 188 patients in the relapsed/refractory group. Clinical characteristics, efficacy and adverse events were summarized, and the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed.Results:All 198 patients were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection for a median of 3 cycles (range 1-7 cycles); 28 cases were treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection as monotherapy, and 170 cases were treated with the combination regimen. Among 188 relapsed/refractory patients, 45 cases (23.9%) were in complete remission (CR), 82 cases (43.6%) were in partial remission (PR), and 28 cases (14.9%) were in disease stabilization (SD), and 33 cases (17.6%) were in disease progression (PD), with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 67.6% (127/188). Among 10 treatment-na?ve patients, 4 cases (40.0%) were in CR, 5 cases (50.0%) were in PR, and 1 case (10.0%) was in PD, with an ORR of 90.0% (9/10). The median follow-up time was 2.9 months (95% CI 2.4-3.7 months), and the median PFS and OS of patients in relapsed/refractory and treatment-na?ve groups were not reached. In relapsed/refractory patients, the difference in ORR between patients with different number of treatment lines of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection [ORR of the second-line, the third-line and ≥the forth-line treatment was 74.4% (67/90), 73.9% (34/46) and 50.0% (26/52)] was statistically significant ( P = 0.008). Of the 198 PTCL patients, 182 cases (91.9%) experienced at least 1 time of treatment-related adverse events, and the incidence rate of ≥grade 3 adverse events was 66.7% (132/198), which was mainly characterized by hematologic adverse events. The ≥ grade 3 hematologic adverse events mainly included decreased lymphocyte count, decreased neutrophil count, decreased white blood cell count, and anemia; non-hematologic adverse events were mostly grade 1-2, mainly including pigmentation disorders and upper respiratory tract infection. Conclusions:The use of mitoxantrone hydrochloride liposome injection-containing regimen in the treatment of PTCL has definite efficacy and is well tolerated, and it is a new therapeutic option for PTCL patients.

In this study, a new medical microbiology experiment teaching system, which was based on outcome-based education combined with inquiry-based teaching model, was developed and evaluated. According to the professional requirements of doctors, the objectives of emotion and comprehensive experimental ability were added, and the requirement for experimental operation skills was raised. In accordance with the concept of inquiry-based teaching, experimental contents were reorganized, and practical operation contents and comprehensive analytical experiments were increased to facilitate students' abilities of independent thinking and innovation. In addition, the proportion of microbiology laboratory examination was increased, experimental skill examination was focused, the assessment method was reformed, and extracurricular interest groups were established to deepen the learning. The teaching effect was evaluated by questionnaire, performance and follow-up survey.
