Objective To observe and compare the changes of Intermedin's contents in plasma and bron-choalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Methods male Wistar rats were ran-domly divided into control group and 1,2 and 3 weeks hypoxia group. Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoal-veolar lavage fluid were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoalveo-lar lavage fluid were markedly increaseded compared with control group. Meanwhile transformational trend is consist-ent between plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage. Conclusions Intermedin's contents in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage increase ,which shows that there is protection and moderation to hypoxic pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To compare the effectiveness of different methods of collecting nasopharyngeal secre-tions by nasopharynx swab and nasopharyngeal underpressure suction catheter for rapid detection of influenza virus. Methods Nasopharyngeal secretions as the experimental samples of 1042 patients with acute respiratory tract disea-ses were collected by nasopharynx swab and nasopharyngeal suction catheter, and gold immunochromatographic assay (GICA) kit was applied for the detection of influenza viruses. Results The use of the above two methods collecting nasopharyngeal secretions as samples for rapid detection of influenza virus would get the same results. The difference between the two methods had no statistical significance( P > 0.05 ). Conclnsions Nasopharynx swab is a reliable method for rapid detection of influenza virus, which is fast and convenient, compared with nasopharyngeal suction catheter.

Objective:To explore the application effect of pathway nursing combined with multimodal exercise intervention in patients with tumor-associated sarcopenia under multi-disciplinary team.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 120 patients with tumor-associated sarcopenia who visited Cancer Center of Henan Provincial People 's Hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the observation group ( n=60) and the control group ( n=60) according to the random number table method. The control group received routine nursing care, while the observation group received multi-disciplinary team pathway nursing combined with multimodal exercise. Skeletal Muscle Mass Index (SMI) , Hand Grip Strength (HGS) , daily walking speed, Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and Irritability, Depression and Anxiety Scale (IDA) scores were compared and analyzed between the two groups. Results:After 4 weeks of intervention, HGS and daily walking speed in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After 4 weeks of intervention, the total score of CFS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the scores of physical fatigue, emotional fatigue and cognitive fatigue in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After 4 weeks of intervention, the total IDA score of the observation group was lower than that of the control group, and the scores of anxiety, depression, extroversion and introversion stimulation were lower than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Multi-disciplinary team pathway care combined with multimodal exercise can improve the physical fitness of patients with tumor-associated sarcopenia, increase the level of physical activity, relieve fatigue and reduce negative emotions such as anxiety, depression and irritation.

Objective To construct and identify the induced pluripotent stem cells(iPSCs)derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)of a patient with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy(FSHD),initially explore their differentiation ability into skeletal muscle cells,and evaluate the feasibility of using this cell model for disease mechanism research.Methods The PBMCs from one FSHD patient were collected and transfected with Sendai virus containing four reprogramming transcription factors,including OCT4,SOX2,KLF4 and c-MYC,so as to obtain the iPSCs from the FSHD patient.Then,the iPSCs were induced to differentiate into skeletal muscle cells.The characteristics of the iPSCs and skeletal muscle cells were evaluated by the optical genome mapping technolo-gy,karyotyping analysis,immunofluorescence staining,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results The iPSCs from the FSHD patient were successfully obtained,which could express the markers of iPSCs.The karyotype and D4Z4 repeat unit of the iPSCs were consistent with that of the patient.The iPSCs could be induced to differentiate into skeletal muscle cells in vitro,which expressed the pathogenic gene DUX4 and its regulatory genes.Conclusion The PBMCs from one FSHD patient can be reprogrammed into iPSCs,which can be differentiated into disease-related myogenic progenitor cells and myotubes.This provides a useful cell model for in vitro studies of the pathogenesis of FSHD and a tool for the effective treatment of FSHD.
