OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of aqueous extraction of Lonicerae Flos (SYHW) on anti-influenza A virus H1N1 (H1N1 virus) in vitro. METHODS:Using Madin-Darby canine kid ney (MDCK) cells cultured in vitro by H1N1 virus, half of the tissue culture infection dose(TCID50)was calculated. Culturing MDCK cells for 24 h with different mass concentrations of SYHW,the maximum non-toxic concentration was investigated. And then test was divided into normal cell group,virus control group,SYHW preventive administration group,therapeutic administration group and direct killing group (given SYHW of maxi-mum non-toxic concentration,infecting cells by 100 TCID50 H1N1 virus),and antiviral effective rate (ER) of SYHW was deter-mined. Test was divided into normal cell group,virus control group,SYHW therapeutic group and direct killing group (the same administration and infection as above),changes of cell proliferation index (PI) and cell apoptosis rate were respectively deter-mined. RESULTS:100 TCID50 of H1N1 virus was 1.26×10-7,and the maximum non-toxic concentration of SYHW on MDCK cells was 50 μg/mL(cell survival rate was 91.3%). ERs of preventive administration group,therapeutic administration group and direct killing group were 0,80.3% and 52.7%,respectively. Compared with normal cell group,PI value in virus control group was sig-nificantly reduced (P<0.05),early and late apoptotic rates were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with virus control group,PI value in directly killing group was significantly increased(P<0.05),and early apoptotic rate was significantly reduced (P<0.05);early apoptotic rates in therapeutic administration group were significantly reduced (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:SY-HW shows anti-H1N1 virus effect in vitro,therapeutic administration and directly killing are preferred in antiviral effect.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and abnormal expression of the CREB in different grade gliomas. Methods The expression of CREB was examined by using immunohistochemistry in brain tissues from the brain injury (5 cases) and different grade gliomas (55 cases).The mRNA and protein levels of CREB were further as?sessed using Western blot and RT-PCR in brain tissues from the patients with brain injury (10 cases) and those with dif?ferent grade gliomas (30 cases). Results The positive rates of CREB immunohistochemistry were 2/5 in control, 10/15 inⅠ-,Ⅱ11/12 in Ⅲ, 28/28 in Ⅳ. The positive rates of CREB were significantly different among different groups (H=28.183,P<0.05).The mRNA levels of CREB were 1.00 ± 0.000 in control, 1.35 ± 0.068 inⅠ-Ⅱ, 2.88 ± 0.111 in Ⅲand 3.75 ± 0.196 in Ⅳ. The expression of CREB was higher in the glioma than in control group, and the mRNA levels of CREB were significantly different among different groups(F=1.208,P<0.05). The protein levels of CREB were 0.311 ± 0.014 in control, 0.469±0.026 inⅠ-Ⅱ, 0.641±0.028 inⅢand 0.896±0.024 inⅣ. The protein levels of CREB were sig?nificantly different among different groups(F=1.123,P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of CREB is elevated in glio?mas with different differentiation degrees. The expression of CREB was positively correlated with the degree of differentia?tion, indicating that CREB may have an important regulatory role in the progress of gliomas.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of nursing capacity for chronic respiratory disease in community health service centers.Methods:A questionnaire survey on nursing capacity for chronic respiratory disease was conducted in November 2018 among nurses working in internal medicine, general practice and chronic disease management departments of 4 community health service centers in Beijing Miyun District. The questionnaire included the knowledge and work content of chronic respiratory diseases. At the same time semi-structured interviews was conducted on the role of nurses in the management of chronic respiratory diseases among nurses selected by purposive sampling method.Results:In the study 63 valid questionnaires were collected and 14 nurses were interviewed. The results showed that the total score of nurses′ knowledge about chronic respiratory diseases was (62.0±14.4), and the scores of knowledge of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma and obstructive sleep apnea were (55.5±19.3), (61.0±21.6), (69.5±25.1), respectively. The total knowledge score of nurses with middle-rank professional title or above was higher than that of those with primary title [(67.0±12.9) vs. (54.0±13.6), t=-3.07, P<0.01]. The work contents mainly involved were nursing procedures(22/63,34.9%), health education(18/63,28.6%) and nursing evaluation(8/63,12.7%).Three themes were extracted from the deep interviews: the main work contents for nurses should be nursing procedures, nurses should participate in the chronic respiratory disease management as a member of the integrated medical team; nurses expected practice-oriented trainings of chronic respiratory disease management. Conclusions:The knowledge of chronic respiratory diseases among nurses in community health center needs to be improved, and the nursing skills special for respiratory diseases are needed. It is suggested to develop training courses and nursing guidelines suitable for community health centers and for nurses to participate in chronic respiratory disease management as team members, so that nurses in primary care institutions can play a better role in the management of chronic respiratory diseases.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of hyperbaric oxygen preconditioning (HBOP) on human stress responses during acute exposure to high altitude and the possible mechanism.
METHODSEight male subjects were treated with HBOP for 3, 5, and 7 days, followed by acute exposure to hypoxia simulating an altitude of 4,000 m. Subjects at rest were divided into sea-level control group, simulated high-altitude group, and 5-day HBOP intervention group, while subjects after physical load were divided into sea-level control group, simulated high-altitude group, 3-day HBOP intervention group, and 7-day HBOP intervention group. The physical load test was performed for each subject before and after HBOP, and the plasma levels of dopamine (DA), epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE), and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were determined before and after exercise. The physical load test was performed by stepping up on to a 30 cm-high stepping stool at a rate of 25/min for 5 minutes, which was a type of moderate physical exercise. The stepping rate and timing were controlled by a metronome.
RESULTSThe levels of DA, E, NE, and ACTH at rest and after physical load were significantly higher in subjects acutely exposed to high altitude than in the sea-level control groups (all P<0.05). Moreover, the levels of DA, E, NE, and ACTH at rest were significantly higher after acute exposure to high altitude in the 5-day HBOP intervention group than in the simulated high-altitude group (all P<0.01). Except for the ACTH level in the 3-day HBOP intervention group, the levels of DA, E, NE, and ACTH after physical load were significantly higher after acute exposure to high altitude in the 3-day and 7-day HBOP intervention groups than in the simulated high-altitude group (all P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONHBOP can elevate the plasma expression of DA, E, NE, and ACTH, and then speed up the establishment of a new balance of homeostasis to adapt to the acute hypoxia at high altitude.

We proposed a new stitching method based on sift features to obtain an enlarged view of transmission electron microscopic (TEM) images with a high resolution. The sift features were extracted from the images, which were then combined with fitted polynomial correction field to correct the images, followed by image alignment based on the sift features. The image seams at the junction were finally removed by Poisson image editing to achieve seamless stitching, which was validated on 60 local glomerular TEM images with an image alignment error of 62.5 to 187.5 nm. Compared with 3 other stitching methods, the proposed method could effectively reduce image deformation and avoid artifacts to facilitate renal biopsy pathological diagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of second-line therapy with dasatinib in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia.Methods:Sixty patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia who received treatment in Hongqi Hospital of Mudanjiang Medical University between January 2015 and January 2021 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into control and observation groups, with 30 patients in each group. The control group was treated with conventional chemotherapy, and the observation group was treated with conventional chemotherapy combined with oral dasatinib. All patients were treated for 6 months. Clinical efficacy, immune function indexes, quality of life score, and incidence of adverse reactions (abnormal liver function, rash, fatigue, peripheral edema, nausea and vomiting, alopecia) were compared between the two groups.Results:Objective response rate (ORR) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [83.33% (25/30) vs. 53.33% (16/30), χ2 = 6.23, P < 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant difference in immune function indicators between the two groups ( t = 0.03, 0.20, 0.44, all P > 0.05). After treatment, CD 4/CD 8, CD 3+ and natural killer cells in the observation group were (1.03 ± 0.32), (43.77 ± 6.62)%, (31.12 ± 3.38)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (0.74 ± 0.28), (35.79 ± 6.27)%, (28.22 ± 2.84)% in the control group ( t = 3.69, 4.78, 3.60, all P < 0.05). The scores of social functioning, material well-being life, mental health, somatic health in the observation group were (85.48 ± 6.25) points, (80.12 ± 6.34) points, (79.94 ± 6.48) points, and (77.92 ± 5.81) points, respectively, which were significantly higher than (72.79 ± 5.89) points, (63.47 ± 5.82) points, (68.87 ± 6.08) points, (63.14 ± 6.12) points in the control group ( t = 7.91, 10.59, 6.82, 9.59, all P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group [16.67% (5/30) vs. 40.00% (12/30), χ2 = 4.02, P < 0.05). Conclusion:Second-line therapy with dasatinib for chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia is effective and safe. It can effectively improve the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy and can also improve immunological function and quality of life.
