A plasmids of continuous expressing shRNAs targeting the NDV NA-1 Phosphoprotein (P) gene was designed.Virus titration,Real Time RT-PCR,CPE indicated that P-specific siRNA could inhibit virus replication at 36 h post-virus infection.In future studies,a combination of siRNAs targeting the NP and L gene may be used as a tool to study NDV replication and antiviral therapy.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a skeletal metabolic disease characterized by bone loss and destruction of bone microstructure. Changes in estrogen levels are not the only pathogenic factors for the occurrence and development of OP. MicroRNA (miRNA) plays an important regulatory role in cells. The complementary sequences of miRNA and targeted mRNA combine to inhibit the expression of targeted mRNA through post-transcriptional regulation, forming a complex regulatory network. Research suggests that miRNA is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases, including inflammatory diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Targeted mRNA participates in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation in OP, mainly regulating the balance among bone construction, bone resorption, and osteoblast differentiation. Therefore, miRNA-based gene therapy is a rapidly developing disease treatment strategy. Traditional Chinese medicine can improve bone metabolism by intervening in miRNA differential expression to target and regulate osteogenic/osteoclast differentiation. This article summarized the targeting effects of miRNAs in physiological and developmental processes such as bone cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis, reviewed and classified their mechanisms of action and targets, and sorted out the current treatment methods of traditional Chinese medicine for preventing and treating OP and drugs that exert bone protective functions through miRNAs. This review is expected to provide theoretical reference and research guidance for future research on OP treatment by regulating miRNA.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the current situation of medication safety in 24 public medical institutions(referred to as “hospital”) from Linyi city and the differences in medication safety between urban and rural areas. METHODS: ISMP self-assessment scale [including 10 key elements (Ⅰ-Ⅹ,such as “Ⅰ patient’s information” “Ⅱ drug information”), 20 key characteristics and 270 evaluation projects] developed by Institute of Safe Medication Practices was used to investigate 24 hospitals in Linyi city. The implementation rates of 10 key elements in urban and rural hospitals were analyzed statistically, and the top 10 evaluation projects were listed for the key elements with the lowest implementation rate. The key elements and top 10 evaluation projects with the largest difference in the implementation rate were compared between urban and rural hospitals. Radar maps were used for comparison and analysis intuitively. RESULTS: A total of 24 hospitals were surveyed, including 12 in urban and 12 in rural areas; there were significant differences in the implementation rate of 10 key factors among 24 hospitals; the elements with the highest implementation rate were “Ⅶ environmental factors, workflow and staffing pattern”(56.55%);the elements with the lowest implementation rate was “Ⅱ drug information” (26.77%). Among 33 evaluation projects of “Ⅱ drug information”, the implementation rate of No. 36 project (12.50%, related to opioids) was the lowest. Among the implementation rates of 10 key elements in 12 urban hospitals and 12 rural hospitals, the key elements with the greatest difference was “Ⅳ drug label, packaging and naming” (differing by 44.44%,59.72% vs. 15.28%); Among“Ⅸ patient education”evaluation project with the greatest gap, there was the greatest difference in No. 199 project (related to patients’ active participation in medication, 58.33% in urban, 4.17% in rural). CONCLUSIONS: The results of medication safety investigation in 24 hospitals from Linyi city show that all the item in each hospital needs to be improved expecially in the implementation of “Ⅱ drug information”. Rural hospitals should strengthen medication education for patients.
