1.The Conjunction Logic of Collaborative Education between Medical Humanities Courses and Ideological and Political Courses
Chinese Medical Ethics 2022;35(1):94-98
It is a new requirement of the new era that medical humanities courses and ideological and political courses should go together with each other. There is an inherent logic in the collaborative education of the two courses, which has the consistency of ideas, the commonality of goals, the intersection of contents and the mutual learning of methods. In practice, it is necessary to combine education with talent, theory with practice, indoctrination with penetration, online with offline, so as to improve the effectiveness of collaborative education between medical humanities courses and ideological and political courses.

Objective To describe and analyze the disease burden and its changing trend of liver cancer caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in China from 1990 to 2019, and to provide reference for reducing the morbidity and mortality of liver cancer in China. Methods Based on data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD2019) study, different gender and age groups were selected. The morbidity, mortality, and disability adjusted life year (DALY) rate were used to analyze the disease burden of liver cancer caused by NASH in China from 1990 to 2019. The time trend was analyzed by using the Joinpoint regression model, and the annual percent of change (APC) and annual average percentage change (AAPC) of morbidity, mortality and DALY rate were calculated. Results Compared with 1990, the incidence rate, mortality rate and DALY rate of liver cancer caused by NASH in 2019 decreased by 4.05%, 12% and 25.79%, respectively. Age-standardized morbidity, standardized mortality and standardized DALY rates decreased by 49.50%, 54.72% and 58.45%, respectively. In 2019, the incidence rate, mortality data and DALY rate of liver cancer caused by NASH increased with age, and the highest mortality rate was among people over 85 years old. The average annual change percentage (AAPC) of age-standardized incidence rate, standardized mortality rate and standardized DALY rate of liver cancer caused by NASH from 1990 to 2019 were -2.65% [95% CI(-3.09%,-2.21 %),P<0.001], -2.86%[95% CI(-3.34%,-2.38 %),P<0.001], and -2.91%[95% CI(-3.23%,-2.58%),P<0.001],respectively. The AAPC of all indexes in males was higher than that in females. Conclusion From 1990 to 2019, the disease burden of liver cancer caused by NASH in China showed an overall downward trend. The AAPC of all indexes in males is higher than that in females, and the elderly population is a high-risk group.

AIM: To analyze the role of complement system(CS)and its classical pathway in the pathogenesis of lacrimal gland benign lymphoepithelial lesions(LGBLEL).METHODS: The tissues of patients with LGBLEL or orbital cavernous hemangioma(CH)were collected. Proteomics analysis was used for the identification of different proteins. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR), immunohistochemical staining(IHC)and Western Blotting were employed to verify the changes of the differential proteins in CS signal pathway, in order to identify its role in the pathogenesis of LGBLEL.RESULTS: The results of proteomic analysis showed that the expression levels of proteins C3, C5, C9 and C1q in CS signal pathway in the lacrimal gland tissues of LGBLEL patients were all changed compared with those of orbital CH patients.The results of RT-PCR showed that the mRNA expression levels of C1qA, C5 and C9 in patients with LGBLEL were significantly higher than those patients with orbital CH. The results of IHC showed that the expression levels of C1qA, C3, C5 and C9 were significantly increased in patients with LGBLEL compared with those patients with orbital CH. The results of Western Blotting showed that the protein expression levels of C1qA, C3, and C9 were significantly increased in patients with LGBLEL compared with those patients with orbital CH.CONCLUSION: The CS has been shown to participate in the pathogenesis of LGBLEL and its classical pathway may be one of the pathways which plays a role.
5. Protective Effect of Protease Inhibitor OH-TCI Against Myocardial Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Rats
Chinese Pharmaceutical Journal 2017;52(20):1837-1841
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and purification of protease inhibitor OH-TCI in Escherichia coli and its protective effect and mechanism in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury model. METHODS: The recombinant plasmid of Pet32a-OH-TCI was transformed into E. coli and induced by IPTG, soluble fusion protein was expressed in the constructed expression system and isolated by a nickel affinity chromatography column. Then, the products was digested by TEV enzyme and was purified by the nickel affinity chromatography column. The adult male rats were divided into two groups randomly: normal saline group and OH-TCI group. At 5 min before the operation, rats were treated with OH-TCI by intraperitoneal injection in the experimental group and was given the same volume of saline in the control group. In all animal experiments, rats left anterior descending coronary artery were ligated for 30 min to construct the model. After 120 min of reperfusion, samples were taken to determine the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukins-6 (IL-6) and the activities of lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Finally, the protective effects of OH-TCI against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat model were evaluated. RESULTS: The recombinant protease inhibitor OH-TCI was expressed in the E.coli expression system in a soluble pattern and successfully purified by two steps of nickel affinity chromatography. Comparing with those in the control group, the recombinant protease inhibitor OH-TCI could significantly decrease the levels of LDH, MDA and IL-6 (P<0.01)as well as inflammatory factor TNF-α (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The recombinant protease inhibitor OH-TCI can be expressed successfully in E. coli. Purified recombinant OH-TCI has natural protease inhibitory activity and shows protective effects against ischemia and reperfusion myocardium injury.

The skin transcriptome of Bufu bufo gargarizans was determined by conventional methods. A novel full length cDNA coding for a Cathelicidin precursor was identified by transcriptomic data assembling, annotation and blast search of corresponding data banks. According to the known processing methods of Cathelicidin family members, present reported novel Cathelicidin precursor of B. bufo gargarizans might be cleaved at 2 possible sites of the same precursor and generate both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 as mature molecules. The deduced BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 were synthesized with purity>95% to evaluate the properties and bactericidal activities. The secondary structural characteristics of both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 in different solutions were determined by Circular Dichroism (CD) Analysis. CD results indicated that random coil conformation were the main structural elements for both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 in different buffer systems. Antimicrobial activities against tested bacterial strains were carried out by plating method. Both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 showed strong antibacterial activities against Aeromonas hydrophila, with MIC values of 1.25, 10 mg•L⁻¹, respectively. However, both of them showed weak bactericidal activities against human pathogenic bacteria, like Escherichia coli (ATCC25922),Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923)and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853).
