This study was aimed to construct the recombinant adenovirus containing rat insulin-like growth factor 1(rIGF-1), and then to investigate its expression in islet beta-cells. RNA was extracted using Trizol from rat livers. rIGF-1 cDNA was obtained using RT-PCR. The purified RT-PCR products and pAdTrack-CMV were digested using Bg1 II and EcoR V and religated by T4 DNA ligase, then transformed into electro-competent JM109 bacteria and selected on Kanamycin LB plates. This plasmid pAd-CMV-rIGF-1 was linearized by PmeI and co-transformed into electro-competent BJ5183 bacteria with pAdEasy-1 and selected on Kanamycin LB plates. After having been screened, the extracted plasmid of positive bacteria was transfected into HEK 293 cells with liposome and was identified by the green fluorescence protein (GFP) expression. The recombinant adenovirus encoding rIGF-1 was named Ad-rIGF-1, and the viral particles were further amplified, purified, and its titer was about 4.0 x 10(8)pfu/ml. Ad-rIGF-1 was transfected into rat pancreatic beta cell lines- RINm5F cells, RT-PCR was carried out to detect the transfer genes, rIGF-1 protein in cells culture supernatants was detected by ELISA method, and its concentration was 91.6 +/- 26.8 ng/ml. rIGF-1 was present in Ad-rIGF-1-infected RINm5F cells as measured by Western blotting. The recombinant adenovirus vector containing rIGF-1 was constructed successfully, and the rIGF-1 protein was expressed by RINm5F cells. This method provided the mechanism of rLGF-1 to prevent beta cell from impairmentand to treat the case of type 1 diabetes.

OBJECTIVETo study the root canal curvatures of adolescents' maxillary first premolars in Guangdong province and the differences between male and female were studied.

METHODS200 maxillary first premolars among adolescents in Guangdong Province (100 males and 100 females) were numbered in proper. After access preparation, a K-file was inserted into the canal until the tip of the file was just seen at the apical foramen. Then standardized periapical images were taken from mesial-distal and buccal-lingual directions with radio visio graphy. The angle of canal curvature (CCA) was determined according to the method described by Schneider. Then the curved canals whose angle were more than 5 degrees were chosen, and the canal access angle (CAA), curvature height (X) and curvature distance (Y) were determined according to the method described by Günday. Linear correlations of the measurements were analyzed.

RESULTS59.21% of the total roots were curved in buccal-lingual directions. The incidence rates of males' and females' were 49.74% and 68.98%, respectively. 41.05% of the total roots were curved in mesial-distal directions. The incidence rates of males' and females' were 36.27% and 45.99%, respectively. 6.84% of the total roots were S-shaped curves. 4.15% and 9.63% of canals from male and female were S-shaped curves, respectively. The curvatures of single root canals between male and female had statistical differences in buccal-lingual directions (P<0.05). The curvatures of the lingual root canals from females in buccal-lingual directions and mesial-distal directions was higher than males' (P<0.05). The Y of buccal root canals in buccal-lingual directions and mesial-distal directions and the CCA of lingual root canals in buccal-lingual directions between male and female had statistical differences (P<0.05). The CAA of curved buccal canals and curved palatal canals from female and female had positive correlation with CCA and X (P<0.01), while negative correlation with Y (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThere are curved root canals in buccal-lingual and mesial-distal directions in the maxillary first premolars, and some curved root canals were S-shaped. The curved canals incidence rate of females was higher than males.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with septic shock in intensive care unit (ICU), construct a predictive model, and explore the predictive value of the predictive model.Methods:The clinical data of patients with septic shock who were hospitalized in the ICU of the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from April 2015 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. According to whether the patients had AKI within 7 days of admission to the ICU, they were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group. 70% of the cases were randomly selected as the training set for building the model, and the remaining 30% of the cases were used as the validation set. XGBoost model was used to integrate relevant parameters to predict the risk of AKI in patients with septic shock. The predictive ability was assessed through receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve), and was correlated with acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), procalcitonin (PCT) and other comparative verification models to verify the predictive value.Results:A total of 303 patients with septic shock were enrolled, including 153 patients with AKI and 150 patients without AKI. The incidence of AKI was 50.50%. Compared with the non-AKI group, the AKI group had higher APACHEⅡscore, SOFA score and blood lactate (Lac), higher dose of norepinephrine (NE), higher proportion of mechanical ventilation, and tachycardiac. In the XGBoost prediction model of AKI risk in septic shock patients, the top 10 features were serum creatinine (SCr) level at ICU admission, NE use, drinking history, albumin, serum sodium, C-reactive protein (CRP), Lac, body mass index (BMI), platelet count (PLT), and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the XGBoost model for predicting the risk of AKI in patients with septic shock was 0.816, with a sensitivity of 73.3%, a specificity of 71.7%, and an accuracy of 72.5%. Compared with the APACHEⅡscore, SOFA score and PCT, the performance of the model improved significantly. The calibration curve of the model showed that the goodness of fit of the XGBoost model was higher than the other scores (the calibration curve had the lowest score, with a score of 0.205).Conclusion:Compared with the commonly used clinical scores, the XGBoost model can more accurately predict the risk of AKI in patients with septic shock, which helps to make appropriate diagnosis, treatment and follow-up strategies while predicting the prognosis of patients.

Objective:To investigate the standardization of implementing enteral nutrition in patients with stroke among nurses in Guangdong province.Methods:The results of 175 valid questionnaires submitted by 175 nurses from 60 hospitals in Guangdong province from June to July 2022 were analyzed. Contents of the questionnaires included status of enteral nutrition management of stroke patients (facility, staffing, risk screening, and formulation, implementation and quality control of the plans), nurses' knowledge of enteral nutrition monitoring and complication prevention, follow-up status of enteral nutrition in stroke patients, and nurses' willingness in participating in special training of enteral nutrition.Results:(1) In terms of enteral nutrition facilities and staffing, only 76% and 36% used enteral infusion pumps and heating infusion devices, and only 3% had multidisciplinary team configuration; in terms of risk screening, only 63% had all-patient-screen for enteral nutrition risk; in terms of plan formulation, the proportion of no enteral nutrition process reached to 44%; in terms of plan implementation, the implementation rate of enteral nutrition≤48 h and gastrointestinal function evaluation using gastrointestinal function evaluation scale was less than 50%; in terms of plan quality control, less than 50% Departments had sensitive indexes of enteral nutrition nursing. (2) Among 14 risk management problems of enteral nutrition monitoring and complication prevention, only 3 had accuracy rate higher than 70%. (3) 78% nurses mentioned that patients had experienced enteral nutrition complications, and 77% nurses mentioned that patients/family members had consulted about enteral nutrition related issues; 81% nurses wanted to participate in training or refresher courses related to enteral nutrition, and 88% nurses wanted to join the enteral nutrition Nursing Alliance for stroke patients to serve patients after referral and discharge.Conclusion:The current situation of enteral nutrition management of stroke patients in Guangdong province is not optimistic; nurses lack knowledge of enteral nutrition monitoring and complication prevention, but are strongly willing to participate in the special training of enteral nutrition; relevant measures to further improve the standardized management of enteral nutrition of stroke patients is suggested.
