Objective To explore the expression of Metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC1) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and its relationship with clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis Methods The expression of MACC1 was detected in 130 cases of NPC and the relationship among the MACC1 expressions, clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis of NPC was analyzed. Results Positive expression rate of MACC1was 68.5% in the NPC and MACC1 expression was associated with advanced T stages, lymph node metastasis and advanced clinical stages of NPC (P < 0.05). The results of Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the five year overall survival rate in patients with positive expressions of MACC1 (45.9%) was significantly lower than that of those with negative expressions (73.7%) and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05), Cox multi-factor analysis results showed that MACC1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for NPC (P = 0.004). Conclusion MACC1 abnormal expression is closely related to the invasion and metastasis of NPC and it is expected to become a new target for gene therapy of NPC.

Objective:To establish the determination method for four lurasidone hydrochloride enantiomers by HPLC. Methods:Lurasidone hydrochloride enantiomers were separated on a CHIRALPAK AD-H column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm). The mobile phase consisted of hexane-ethanol-diethylamine ( 90∶10∶0. 1) at a flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 and the column temperature was at 40℃. The detection wavelength was 230nm. Results:The resolution of lurasidone hydrochloride enantiomers was above 2. 0. The linear calibra-tion curves were obtained over the range of 5-120 μg· ml-1 for all the enantiomers (r=0. 999 9). The recovery was above 99. 0%with RSD below 0. 5%. The detection limits were 5ng. Conclusion:The method is simple, accurate and rapid, and suitable for the de-termination and quality control.

Objective To investigate the effects of ulinastatin (UTI) combined with magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate (MgIG) on the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in lung tis?sue of rats with pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin (BLM). Methods Ninety Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: BLM group, methylprednisolone (MTH) group, UTI group, MgIG group and UTI combined with MgIG (UTI+MgIG) group, n=18 for each group. The rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was established by injecting bleomycin through tra?chea in five groups. Twenty-four hours after treatment with BLM,rats were treated with normal saline every day in BLM group, and rats were treated by corresponding drugs in other groups. Six rats of each group were killed at the 7th,14th and 28th day respectively. The pathological changes of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis were evaluated by HE staining, and ex?pression levels of TGF-β1 and CTGF in lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results (1) Com?pared with BLM group, the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis was reduced in other groups. There was significant dif?ference in alveolitis at the 7th and 14th day between UTI+MgIG group and BLM group. And there was significant difference in pulmonary fibrosis at the 14th and 28th day between UTI+MgIG group and BLM group (P<0.05). (2) Compared with BLM group, the expression levels of TGF-β1 and CTGF were decreased in other groups. In UTI+MgIG group, the expres?sion levels of TGF-β1 were significantly lower at the 7th and 14th day compared with those in UTI group and MgIG group, and which were significantly lower at the 28th day than those in MTH group, UTI group and MgIG group (P<0.05). The ex?pression levels of CTGF were significantly lower at the 7th day in UTI + MgIG group than those in UTI group and MgIG group, and which were significantly lower at the 14th and 28th day than those in MTH group, UTI group and MgIG group (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of UTI and MgIG can alleviate alveolitis and fibrosis in BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis rats, which might related with the down-regulation of TGF-β1 and CTGF expressions.

Objective To establish an animal model for evaluating immunogenicity of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.Methods New Zealand rabbits were intramuscularly administrated with three doses of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) with two weeks interval between each injection.Serum samples were collected at different time points before and after vaccination.Quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and opsonophagocytosis assay (OPA) that were in conformity with the World Health Organization (WHO) standards were used to detect the concentrations of serotype-specific antibodies and their bactericidal activities.Results The concentrations (Geometric mean concentration, GMC) of serotype-specific antibodies in rabbit serum samples were well correlated with their bactericidal activities (Geometric mean titer, GMT) following vaccination.Moreover, the dynamic changes of GMC and GMT of the same serotype-specific antibody remained consistent as time went by.Conclusion Rabbit model can be used to analyze the immunogenicity of PCV13 vaccine with quantitative ELISA and OPA, which indicates that it is a suitable animal model for evaluating immunogenicity of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.

Objective To explore the application effects of laboratory contract management combined with humanistic care education in nursing practice teaching.Methods Totally 180 nursing undergraduates who enrolled in Southern Medical University in 2013 were selected from April to July 2015 by using simple random sampling method. The participants were divided into two groups. Patients in the control group (n=90) received conventional practice teaching,while patients in the intervention group (n=90) received laboratory contract management combined with humanistic care teaching mode. The students' skills assessment,teachers' feedback, and students' care awareness and abilities before and after the intervention were compared.Results The intervention group had higher score for skills assessment compared with the control group [(82.44±4.22) vs. (76.29±5.82);t=8.116;P<0.01]. The intervention group also performed better in practice efficiency,skills achievement,overcoming difficulties,active exercise,interest persistence,independent practice effects,goods management,and health management compared with the control group (χ2=7.273,11.211,25.392,14.187, 7.831,15.843,24.318,6.423;P<0.05). After the intervention,the intervention group significantly improved incare characteristic scale [(67.79±4.55) vs. (62.57±4.91);t=7.398;P<0.01],but the control group had limited change (P>0.05). Furthermore,there was no significant difference between two groups before the intervention (P>0.05). But after the intervention,the scores for understanding,patient,courage,and total score became higher in the intervention group than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions The laboratory contract management combined with humanistic care education can effectively improve students' practice and academic achievements,enthusiasm,self-management abilities,and humanistic qualities.

Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of CO 2 fractional laser with topical triamcinolone and intrakeloid injection of triamcinolone. Methods:From January 2019 to December 2021, 24 cases of keloid patients in the outpatient clinic of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Hospital, all female, aged 22-53 years, were randomly divided into treatment group 1 (12 cases), treated with CO 2 fractional laser + local topical triamcinolone, and treatment group 2 (12 cases), treated with intra-local triamcinolone injection. The treatment was done every 4 weeks for 4-9 times and followed up for 1 year. Keloid size was assessed before and after each treatment and scarring was evaluated with the Vancouver Keloid Scale. Results:After treatment, the change in keloid size was greater in the treatment group 2 than that in the treatment group 1 (85.4% and 60.1%, χ 2=6.19, P<0.05), and the Vancouver Keloid Scale score showed that it was significantly lower in the treatment group 1 (7.8±1.5 versus 4.4±1.3, t=4.58, P<0.05) compared with the treatment group 2 (8.6±0.9 versus 4.5±1.3, t=3.45, P<0.05). During and at the end of treatment, the pain scores of the treatment group 1 were significantly lower than those of the treatment group 2, and patients′ comfort and compliance were significantly improved. Conclusions:Fractional laser combined with topical triamcinolone is a more suitable treatment option for patients with pain-sensitive keloids.

OBJECTIVEMutations of presenilin 1 (PSEN1) gene are the most frequent cause for familial Alzheimers disease (AD). This study was set to explore potential mutation of PSEN1 gene in a Chinese family featuring early-onset Alzheimers disease (FAD).

METHODSDNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples from 17 members of the FAD family as well as 10 patients with sporadic Alzheimers disease and 100 healthy subjects. With polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing, exons 113 of the PSEN1 gene were analyzed.

RESULTSDNA sequencing has revealed a heterozygous point mutation from G to A at position 1133 (Gly378Glu) of exon 11 of PSEN1 gene in 6 members from the family, among whom 5 were patients with dementia, whilst the remaining 1 was clinically normal but under onset age. The same mutation was not found in all other patients and the normal controls.

CONCLUSIONA novel missense mutation of the PSEN1 gene, Gly378Glu, probably underlies the autosomal dominant early-onset FAD in this Chinese family.
