Objective:To construct of transfectant cells expressing ??TCR with specific CDR3 sequence.Methods:Specific CDR3 region sequence of DBS4.3,a known ??T cell clone,was inserted into ?9 and ?2 chain to substitute original CDR3 sequence using overlapping PCR method.After the full-length ?9 and ?2 chains were ligated with expression vector pREP7and pREP9 respectively,they were co-trasfected into a cell line of human Jurkat cells with TCR ? chain gene-defective mutant J.RT3-T3.5.When the transfectant cells expressing specific ??TCR were stimulated by antigen,production of IL-2 was detected by ELISA and Realtime PCR.Results:By ELISA and Realtime PCR,it was exhibited that the transfectant cells expressing DBS4.3 specific ??TCR secreted IL-2 under stimulation of iso-butylamine and anti ??TCR antibody.Conclusion:The transfectant Jurkat cells expressing ??TCR with specific CDR3 sequence are successfully constructed.It provides a platform for the research of recognition mechanism of ??TCR.

[Summary] Eighteen patients with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism( IHH) receiving aromatase-inhibitor( AI) letrozole for at least 3 months were recruited.After 3 months′treatment, LH levels were increased from (2.1 ±1.5) IU/L to (3.6 ±3.7) IU/L(P=0.029), and FSH levels from (2.6 ±1.8) IU/L to (4.3 ±3.4) IU/L (P=0.003).Total testosterol was increased from (87 ±42) ng/dl to (166 ±200) ng/dl(P=0.082), and estradiol wasdecreasedfrom(22.7±18.7) pg/ml to (13.4±10.6) pg/ml(P=0.020).The average testis volume was increased[(14.3 ±3.9 vs 11.2 ±4.9) ml, P<0.01].Sperms were detected in 8 out of 9 patients who did seminal fluid test.The result of general linear model showed that LH(60 min) was significantly related with total testosterol increment( P=0.045) .

[Summary] Cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency ( PORD) is a rare disease, which is a subtype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. The predominant signs include no puberty development, infantile reproductive organs, ear deformities, and bone synostosis in skull or limbs. Here, we analyzed the clinical features of a case with PORD confirmed by gene sequencing. The pathology, genetic features, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment for PORD were reviewed.

Objective To explore the relationship between SNPs in microRNA binding sites of ABCG5/8 and the glucolipid level during pregnancy.Methods 1 925 pregnant women were recruited at Peking Union Medical College hospital from 2006 to 2011.The clinical data were collected and the total genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples.ABCG5/8, which was reported to be related with the glucose and lipid metabolism closely, were selected as the candidate gene and the SNPs in its microRNA binding sites with minor allele frequency >5% in Han Chinese in Beijing were chosen.Then the genotyping was performed and analyzed.Results There was only one SNP matching the criteria, rs2278356, and it is significantly associated with LDL-C and TC level during pregnancy (LDL-C: b=0.104 mmol/L, 95% CI 0.023-0.185 mmol/L, P<0.05;TC: b=0.105 mmol/L, 95% CI 0.080-0.203 mmol/L, P<0.05).Conclusions The association of rs2278356 in 3′UTR of ABCG5/8 with LDL-C and TC level in pregnant Chinese Han women is found, which may provide an individualized treatment strategy for pregnant women with high cholesterol.

Mammalian reproduction is closely related to their metabolic status. The hypothalamus-pituitary-gonad axis ( HPG axis) is regulated by various metabolic factors. Glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1) is one of various metabolic factors that not only affect glycemic and metabolic control, but also with many other effects, including affecting HPA axis. The function of GLP-1 is related to the location of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor ( GLP-1R) distribution. It has been confirmed that GLP-1R is widely distributed in HPG axis. The effects of GLP-1 and GLP-1R agonists on the HPG axis have also attracted much attention. The positive effects of GLP-1 and GLP-1R agonists on the HPG axis indicated it could be the new target for the new treatment for gonadal diseases. The role of GLP-1 and GLP-1R agonists in the central nervous system is reviewed.

Objective:
To investigate the status and influencing factors of health literacy of middle school students in Yinchuan City, to provide reference for health literacy improvement of middle school students in this region.
Methods:
Using stratified cluster sampling method, 2 003 middle school students from three districts of Yinchuan were investigated to complete the questionnaire survey.The survey included basic characteristics, health literacy and screen time status.
Results:
The total score of Chinese Adolescent Interactive Health Literacy Questionnaire was(101.3±17.5). The proportion of high, medium and low level of health literacy were 25.0%, 51.2% and 23.9% respectively;the proportion of long screen time exposure among middle school students was 52.5%. The health literacy level of junior middle school students, middle school students with father or mother education level of high school or above and appropriate screen time were higher than those of the corresponding group(χ 2=49.90,14.59,16.53,46.73,P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that education group, grade, father s or mother s education level and long screen time exposure were associated with middle school students health literacy level(P<0.05).
Conclusion
The health literacy level of middle school students in Yinchuan City needs to be further improved and targeted health education should be carried out from school, family and society.

Objective To investigate the effect of human colorectal fibroblast(CCD-18Co)-conditioned medium(CCD18-Co-CM)on biological behaviors of colorectal cancer(CRC)cells and explore the possible molecular mechanisms.Methods Real-time cellular analysis(RTCA),clone formation assay and wound healing assay were used to analyze the changes in proliferation,clone formation,and migration abilities of CRC cell lines HCT116 and Caco-2 treated with CCD18-Co-CM.Western blotting was used to detect the changes in ATK,ERK and STAT3 signaling pathways in the CRC cells activated by CCD18-Co-CM.The effect of CCD18-Co-CM on spheroidization ability of the cells was assessed with sphere-formation assay,and the changes in expressions of CRC stemness markers were detected using RT-PCR.Results CCD-18Co-CM significantly promoted proliferation,colony formation,and migration of HCT116 and Caco-2 cells,enhanced sphere-forming ability and expressions of CRC stemness markers,and increased ERK phosphorylation in the cells.Treatment with SCH772984 effectively inhibited CCD-18Co-CM-induced ERK signaling pathway activation,suppressed the malignant phenotype,and lowered the sphere-forming ability and expression of stemness markers of the two CRC cells.Conclusion Colorectal fibroblasts promote malignant phenotype of CRC cells by activating the ERK signaling pathway.

Objective? To develop the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) nursing skill training program for community nurses and to evaluate its effects based on Kirkpatrick Model. Methods? Totally 83 community nurses from 2 districts of Hangzhou between April and August 2017 were selected using convenient sampling and divided into the control group (n=42) and the observation group (n=41). Community nurses in the control group received conventional training, while community nurses received TCM nursing skill training, and its effects were evaluated in terms of reaction, learning, behavior and result layers based on Kirkpatrick Model. Results? There was no statistically significant difference in general information and student analysis data between the two groups (P>0.05). The attendance rates of both groups were above 85% after the training, and the total satisfaction, theoretical performance of TCM and skill examination of the observation group scored (95.05±5.32), (79.90± 6.03) and (88.52±2.47), respectively. The scores of self-evaluated behavior and others-evaluated behavior were (44.75±3.58) and (40.15±2.85); and patients' satisfaction score was (95.35±3.61), higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), which was (91.95±4.56). The number of TCM nursing items launched in the departments to which the two groups belonged to was 3.(5 3.00, 4.75) and [3(?2, 4);(P>0.05)]. Conclusions? The TCM nursing skill training program can benefit community nurses in terms of reaction, learning, behavior and result layers, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.
