Objective To investigate the effect of boningmycin on expression of capsid protein L1 and serum immune factors in cervical HPV infection patients.Methods 60 patients with cervical HPV infection were divided into experimental group and control group, 30 cases in each group.The control group were given recombinant human interferon α2b suppository, 100 000 IU, once every other day, and the experiment group were given boningmycin 300 mg intramuscular injection,once every other day.Treatment of 10 times for a course,2 consecutive courses After treatment, the HPV capsid protein L1, serum TNF-α, IL-2, IFN-αand HPV were compared.Results Compared with control group after treatment, the percentage of HPV capsid protein L1 increased ( P <0.05 ) , serum TNF-α, IFN-αlevels increased ( P <0.05 ) , IL-2 decreased ( P <0.05 ) , and HPV positive rate decreased( P <0.05 ).Conclusion Boningmycin could reduce the percentage of capsid protein L1 in patients with cervical human papilloma virus infection, elevate serum TNF-αand IFN-αlevels, reduce the level of IL-2 and HPV positive rate.

Objective To investigate the proper inner control genes suitable for mRNA expression level comparison of aging rat tissues.Methods Real-time reverse transcription PCR was used to examine in aging rat tissues the expression level of G3pd(glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase),ACTB(?-actin),H3f3b(H3 histone,family 3B),Arbp(acidic ribosomal phosphoprotein P0)and 18S(18S ribosomal RNA).Results The most stably expressed housekeeping gene in aging rat kidney was ACTB,in heart and lung G3pd showed the minimum variation;Arbp expression was the most stable one in different tissues.Conclusion For aging rat intra-tissue mRNA normalization at least two housekeeping genes should be used: one is the ribosomal RNA gene 18S and another one is Arbp.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of the new and old electrocardiographic algorithms for differentiating the origins of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias. Methods The clinical data of 202 patients treated between 2010 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed for the investigations of the four algorithms including the transitional zone index, the V2 transition ratio, V2 R-wave duration and R/S-wave amplitude indices and the Sv2/Rv3 index. Results Regardless of rotation, the V2 transition ratio had the highest sensitivity (93.5%), while the Sv2/Rv3 index had the highest specificity (93.8). The maximal area under the ROC curve of four was more than 0.8, while the transitional zone index had the minimal area (0.804) with statistical significance (P < 0.001). In the patients with precordial transition, the V2 transition ratio had the highest sensitivity (93.9%), while the Sv2/Rv3 index had the highest specificity (94.7%). The maximal area under the ROC curve of four was more than 0.8 with no statistical significance (P>0.05). Conclusion Regardless of rotation, the Sv2/Rv3 index has the highest specificity and equal diagnostic value, with equal diagnostic value of the V2 transition ratio and V2 R-wave duration and R/S-wave amplitude indices. Compared with other algorithms, the Sv2/Rv3 index is simple and can be a complement as well for the direction of ablation therapy.

A registered dietitian credential is generally accepted and recognized as the most authoritative certificate of eligibility for American dietitians.In this article we describe in detail the American Registered Dieti-tian (RD) training system,administered by the Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) and the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) of the American Dietetic Association (ADA).Taking the Division of Nutritional Sciences of Cornell University as a good example of the RD training unit,we describe the Cornell Un-dergraduate Didactic Program in Dietetics and Dietetic Internship.Career opportunities and job outlook for Ameri-can registered dietitians are also presented.

Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of lysine acetyltransferase 5(KAT5) on the radio-sensitivity of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC).Methods:The expression levels of endogenous KAT5 in ATC and normal thyroid cells were detected by Western blot and qRT-PCR. The effect of KAT5 specific inhibitor NU9056 on the radio-sensitivity of human ATC cells and normal thyroid cells was evaluated by colony formation assay. TCGA database, JASPAR database, along with Western blot, microRNA sequencing, qRT-PCR and dual-luciferase reporter assay were conducted to unravel the underlying mechanism.Results:The expression of endogenous KAT5 at the protein and mRNA levels in human ATC cells was significantly higher than that in normal thyroid cells. NU9056 could significantly enhance the radiosensitivity of human ATC cells to 8505C and CAL-62, whereas showed no sensitization effect on normal thyroid cell Nthy-ori 3-1. Knockdown of KAT5 and NU9056 both down-regulated the expression level of miR-210 in the TC cells, while NU9056 decreased the expression level of transcription factor c-Myc. The putative binding sites of c-Myc in the miR-210 promoter region were predicted, and transfection of c-Myc plasmid significantly enhanced the luciferase activity of miR-210 promoter. Elevated miR-210 level was associated with worse survival of patients with thyroid carcinoma. Down-regulated expression of miR-210 decreased the TET2 mRNA level, while inhibition of miR-210 increased the TET2 mRNA level.Conclusion:The aberrantly-activated KAT5/miR-210/TET2 pathway probably causes the radioresistance of ATC, becoming a novel sensitizing target for ATC radiotherapy in clinical practice.

The nano-structure TiN was modified on the laboratory self-made planar microelectrode array pMEA by magnetron sputtering method. The performance of modified pMEA was investigated. Research on neuroelectrical and neurochemical recording was studied in vitro. The impedance of the modified pMEA was decreased almost one order of magnitude, and the background noise level was reduced to ±6 μV. In the same testing environment, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of modified electrodes was 1. 7 times of bare electrodes. The SNR of neuroelectrical recording on the brain slice of SD rats reached 10:1 , and the weak signal such as ±12 μV was separated easily. For neuroelectrical recordings, the detection limit of dopamine ( DA) solution reached 50 nmol/L with the 2:1 (S/N). During the concentration range of 0. 05-100 μmol/L, the linearly correlation coefficient of the DA oxidation currents was 0 . 998 . The modification of nano-structure TiN on pMEA reduced pMEA impedance and background noise level, meanwhile the SNR was increased. The weak signals of neuroelectrical and neurochemical recording were successfully recorded.

Objective To determine the frequency of T helper type 22 (Th22) cells and expression level of interleukin-22 (IL-22) in peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis vulgaris,and to investigate their relationship with disease severity and clinical course.Methods Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 40 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 30 healthy human controls.Five-color flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentage of Th22 cells in peripheral blood,and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure the expression of serum IL-22.Statistical analysis was carried out by t test and Pearson correlation analysis.Results Both the percentage of Th22 cells and serum level of IL-22 in peripheral blood were significantly higher in patients with psoriasis vulgaris than in healthy human controls (Th22 cells:0.65％ ± 0.48％ vs.0.33％ ± 0.15％,t =3.89,P ＜ 0.01; IL-22:(67.96 ± 14.32) vs.(40.59 ± 9.91) ng/L,t =9.45,P ＜ 0.01).Further more,Th22 cell percentage and IL-22 serum level in peripheral blood were both positively correlated with psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) in these patients (r =0.38,0.94,P ＜ 0.05 and 0.01,respectively),but neither of them correlated with clinical course of psoriasis vulgaris (r =0.20,0.10,respectively,both P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The percentage of Th22 cells and level of IL-22 are increased in peripheral blood of patients with psoriasis vulgaris,and both of them are correlated with disease severity.
