Objective To establish a double-antibody sandwich ELISA for the rapid detection of shiga toxin typeⅡ ( StxⅡ) in shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli ( STEC) infection. Methods A pool of murine hybridomas was used to screen out the optimal antibody pair for the establishment of double-anti-body sandwich ELISA. The established ELISA system was used to detect StxⅡin the culture supernatants of 16 clinical strains of STEC. Specificity and sensitivity of the established ELISA system were also evaluated. Results Two antibodies, S2D8 and S2C6, were successfully screened out, based on which the double-anti-body sandwich ELISA was set up. StxⅡand its variants rather than StxⅠwas detected in the culture super-natants of STEC with a lowest detection limit of 4 ng/ml. Its performance was consistent with that of commer-cial colloidal gold test kit, indicating the characteristics of good specificity and sensitivity. Conclusion The S2D8/S2C6-based ELISA laid a foundation for researches which designates the shiga toxin as a potential can-didate on the diagnosis and therapy of STEC infection.

Matteuccia struthiopteris is a nature plant, which contains a lot of potential active components. In the present study, we investigated the effect of polysaccharides extracted from Matteuccia struthiopteris on lupus-like syndrome induced by Campylobacter jejuni CJ-S131 in BALB/c mice. Mice were randomly divided into normal, model control, SLE model (vehicle treated), Matteuccia struthiopteris polysaccharides treated (30 and 15 mg x kg(-1)) groups and prednisone 5 mg x kg(-1) treated groups. The effect of Matteuccia struthiopteris polysaccharides (Ms) on weight and organ index of BALB/c mice was detected. Autoantibodies and total IgG production were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Proteinuria was measured and kidneys were examined by light microscopy. Compared with SLE model group, treatment with Matteuccia struthiopteris polysaccharides 30 and 15 mg x kg(-1) reduced weight loss and Matteuccia struthiopteris polysaccharides 15 mg x kg(-1) reduced spleen swelling (P < 0.05). The increased production of autoantibodies and total immunoglobulin G (IgG) were also significantly inhibited. Matteuccia struthiopteris polysaccharides protected kidney against glomerular injury in BALB/c mice with reduced immunoglobulin deposition and lowered proteinuria (P < 0.01). Matteuccia struthiopteris polysaccharides had a protective effect on lupus-like syndrome induced by CJ-S131 in BALB/c mice.

Aim To investigate the effects of isoliquiri-tigenin(ISL)on C6 glioma cell proliferation and differ-entiation.Methods C6 glioma cells’viability and proliferation were respectively measured by SRB test. Colony formation of C6 glioma cells from different groups was assayed.After culturing the cells from each group,giemsa staining was used to observe cell mor-phology.RT-PCR was applied to detect mRNA expres-sion of GFAP.Western blot was applied to detect the expression of GFAP.Results ISL effectively inhibited the viability of C6 glioma cells when compared with the control group in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01).The morphological observation under light mi-croscope showed that:in the control group,most of the undifferentiated C6 cells showed long fusiform and po-lygonal shape.Compared to the control group,the C6 cells treated with ISL revealed alteration in morphology such as astrocytes with smaller smooth,round body and much finer longer,tapering processes.The cloning for-mation rate detection revealed that:the colonies in the control group semerged earlier and were larger than those experimental ones,the cloning formation rate was higher,while almost no effective cells colony emerged in ISL treated groups(P <0.01 ).Western blot and RT-PCR analysis showed that GFAP expression in the ex-perimental groups increased(P <0.01).Conclusion ISL may inhibit the proliferation of C6 glioma cells and induce their differentiation.

Purpose:
Screening for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as an effective instrument to reduce the burden of late diagnoses remains underutilized in China, much of the Asian countries, and in a sense all over the world. Modifiable psychosocial factors should be identified to improve screening utilization and reduce the burden of late diagnoses. However, valid psychosocial measures are unavailable. This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the preventive health model (PHM) instrument for measuring psychosocial factors of HCC screening among patients with hepatitis B.
Methods:
This study was conducted from June 2020 to April 2021 in three rigorous phases: (1) committee-based translation from English to Chinese; (2) cognitive interviews (n = 33) and Delphi expert consultations (n = 7) for cultural adaptation; and (3) a cross-sectional study (n = 305) for validation.
Results:
In phase I, two items were reworded, and two retranslated for semantic equivalence. In phase II, issues related to comprehension, sensitive wording, wording clarity, question relevance, and cultural sensitivity were addressed by including pictures, rewording five items, and developing seven items. In phase III, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses suggested a five-factor 20-item solution: it explained 76.9% of the variance; had adequate factor loading (.60–.91), convergent and discriminant validity; satisfactory model fit indices; and reliability (Cronbach's α, .86−.91). Known-group analysis showed that patients with optimal HCC screening behavior had significantly higher scores on each subscale than those not having such.
Conclusion
The Chinese PHM instrument is culturally sensitive, reliable, and valid to measure the psychosocial factors of HCC screening. It can help nurses and researchers to tailor strategies to improve clinical HCC screening practices in high-risk HCC regions.

Objective To explore the effects of nursing management based on plan-do-check-action (PDCA) on side effects and life quality after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in acute leukemia patients with chemotherapy.Methods From January 2017 to January 2018, we selected 96 acute leukemia patients in Hematology Department of He'nan Provincial People's Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into observation group and control group with the random number table, 48 cases in each group. Control group carried out routine nursing care, while observation group received nursing management based on PDCA. And then, we recorded and compared the indwelling time of PICC, hospital stay, complications and the incidence of side effects of patients between two groups. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Quality of Life Index (QLI) were used to evaluated patients' anxiety, depression and life quality three days before intervention and one month after intervention. The self-designed questionnaire was used to assess the quality of special nursing in two groups.Results The indwelling time of PICC and hospital stay of observation group were shorter than those of control group with statistical differences (P<0.01). Before intervention, there was no statistical difference in the scores of SAS, SDS and QLI (P>0.05). After intervention, the scores of SAS and SDS of observation group were lower than those of control group; and the scores of QLI and dimension scores of the quality of special nursing of observation group were higher than those of control group; the differences were all statistical (P<0.01). The incidences of complications and side effects of observation group were statistically lower than those of control group (P<0.05). Conclusions Nursing management based on PDCA can effectively decrease the occurrence risk of side effects and complications after PICC among acute leukemia patients with chemotherapy, improve patients' life quality and emotional state which has clinical application and promotion value.
