Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2011;20(2):168-171
Objective To observe the influence of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γligand (PPAR-γ, pioglatazone) on expression of PAI-1 and TGF-β mRNA and proliferation in fibroblast cells before and after X-ray radiation, and to study the effect of PPAR-γon normal cells during radiation induced fibrosis process. Methods RT-PCR method was used to measure PPAR-γgene expression in L929 cells.After X-ray irradiation of 10 Gy,4 Gy or 2 Gy, the expressions of PAI-1 and TGF-β mRNA in mouse lung fibroblast cells (L929) were measured using RT-PCR. After X-ray irradiation and pioglatazone treatment,the influence of pioglatazone on PAI-1 and TGF-β was measured using RT-PCR method. MTT method was used to test cell proliferation after the treatment of irradiation and pioglatazone. Results PPAR-γ mRNA expression was observed in L929 cells. Expression of PAI-1 and TGF-β mRNA reached the highest level 483.40,P =0. 090) ). At 48 h after the treatment of pioglatazone and 10 Gy radiation, pioglatazone decreased 0. 36, 0. 34 and 0. 32( F = 3.90, P = 0. 040) ). The inhibitory effect was significantly increased when L9292. 50,P =0. 005)). Conclusions X-ray irradiation can increase the expression of PAI-1 and TGF-β in L929 cells. Pioglatazone can decrease the expression of radiation-induced PAI-1 and TGF-β, and restrain the fibroblast proliferation.

Head and neck osteosarcoma is a rare tumor. Its clinical features and recurrence pattern are different from those of osteosarcoma in other parts. Osteosarcoma of the head and neck occurs late with a high local recurrence rate and a low distant metastasis rate. Local recurrence is the main cause of death. Surgery is the main treatment. Postoperative radiotherapy is recommended for patients with positive surgical margin, proximal incisional margin and uncertain surgical margin. The role of chemotherapy remains controversial. Effective molecular targeted therapeutics need to be further explored for recurrent, metastatic and unresectable osteosarcoma, .

Objective:To analyse the clinical characteristics and antiviral therapy in immunosuppressed hospitalized patients with influenza.Methods:The clinical data of 273 patients with positive influenza A or B virus nucleic acid admitted in Peking University People’s Hospital from November 2015 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 123 were immunosuppressed and 150 were non-immunosuppressed. The clinical characteristics and antiviral therapy in immunosuppressed patients with influenza were analyzed. SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results:Chemotherapy for malignancies was the most common cause of immunosuppression (61.8%, 76/123), followed by haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (24.4%, 30/123). The common symptoms were fever (93.5%, 115/123) and cough (41.5%, 51/123). The proportions of co-infections (22.8%, 28/123) and complications (43.9%, 54/123) in immunosuppressed hospitalized patients were higher than those in non-immunosuppressed patients ( χ2=9.365 and 7.496, both P<0.01). Compared with single drug therapy, combination of antiviral drugs did not shorten the fever time, negative conversion time of virus nucleic acid and the length of hospital stay, and reduce the death ( U/ χ2=312.5, 356.0, 749.5 and 0.185, all P>0.05). Compared to patients without corticosteroids use, the use of corticosteroids did not increase mortality in immunosuppressed patients ( χ2=2.508, P=0.113). Conclusions:Classical symptoms may be absent in immunosuppressed patients with influenza, and early detection of influenza virus is still an important means of early diagnosis. Co-infections and complications are more common in immunosuppressed influenza patients. Immunosuppressed influenza patients did not benefit from the combination of antiviral therapy.

Objective:To explore the status of HIV infection, time trends and related factors of MSM in Harbin from 2009 to 2018 and provide evidences for comprehensive prevention and control strategies of MSM HIV/AIDS.Methods:From April to July during 2009-2018, continuous cross-sectional studies were conducted on MSM recruited through snowball sampling. The unified questionnaire was used to collect demographic, behavioral, and serological information. The SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the Joinpoint 4.8.0.1 software was applied to the annual percent change (APC) for time trends analysis using the Joinpoint regression model.Results:A total of 4 813 MSM were surveyed in Harbin from 2009 to 2018. The overall HIV antibody positive rate was 11.3 % ( 543/4 813). Joinpoint regression analysis showed that there was an increase in the HIV antibody positive rate from 2009 to 2015, while the segmentation point was in 2015 ( Z=4.2, P<0.05) but, there was a decrease from 2015 to 2018( Z=-1.3, P=0.3). The positive rate of syphilis antibody was 12.9% (621/4 813). There was a decrease in the positive rate of syphilis antibodies from 2009 to 2013 ( Z=-2.8 ,P<0.05). There was a decrease in the positive rate of syphilis antibodies from 2013 to 2018 ( Z=-0.7, P=0.5). Results from multiple logistic aggression analysis showed that the risk factors associated with the prevalence of HIV infection including network recruitment (a OR=1.307, 95% CI: 1.057-1.617), age 30 and above (a OR=1.905, 95% CI: 1.235-2.939) and syphilis antibody positive (a OR=4.728, 95% CI: 3.751-5.961). Protective factors appeared: knowledge of HIV/AIDS (a OR=0.598, 95% CI: 0.433-0.825) and consistent use of condom during anal sex in the past six months (a OR=0.683, 95% CI: 0.550-0.850). Conclusions:The HIV antibody positive rate peaked in 2015 among MSM in Harbin from 2009 to 2018, first increased and then decreased. The positive rate of syphilis antibody showed a decreasing trend. Intervention models based on social media software, age 30 and above and syphilis antibody-positive need to be explored. It also promotes condom use and referral for syphilis among MSM.

With the progress of society and the continuous improvement of people′s living standards in China, the public′s demand for medical services is becoming increasingly diversified. How to move hospital services forward and improve medical services centered on patients has become a key consideration for hospitals to enhance patients′ sense of medical satisfaction. A certain hospital has established a one-stop patient service hotline, integrating functions such as number inquiry, medical consultation, appointment registration, appointment examination, praise and suggestions, complaint follow-up, etc., injecting a complaint handling management mode, and responding to and solving patient feedback problems in a timely manner. Since the launch of the patient service hotline, it has effectively solved the problems that patients encountered during their visits, effectively reduced the hospital′s complaint rate, and initially formed a service closed-loop management. From March to October 2023, the demand ratio of the 12345 hotline in the hospital has continuously decreased, and was significantly lower than the average level of 22 municipal hospitals in Beijing. In the future, we should further improve the communication skills between doctors and patients, focus on managing appeals and services, and continue to strengthen proactive governance.

Keratin (K) is the main component of the epithelial cell mesenchymal cytoskeleton, which protects the integrity of epithelial cells and maintains the function of normal epithelial cells. The expression of keratin affects epidermal proliferation and differentiation, and so as to be used as a marker for proliferation, differentiation and migration of keratinocytes. Middle ear cholesteatoma is one of the common ear diseases. In the middle ear cholesteatoma, keratinocytes over-proliferate and keratin debris accumulates. In this paper, we reviewed the recent studies on middle ear cholesteatoma and explained the possible mechanisms of keratin in the pathogenesis of middle ear cholesteatoma from the aspects of "proliferation" and " bone resorption ". At the same time, the existing problems as well as the prospect of the future research were discussed.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2020;41(2):209-212
Objective:
To analyze the situation of AIDS knowledge and discrimination among freshmen in Chengdu city, and to explore possible effects of AIDS knowledge on discrimination.
Methods:
A cluster random sampling was employed to investigate 1 053 college students from 11 universities in Chengdu about their HIV/AIDS knowledge and discrimination. The scores of AIDS knowledge and discrimination of students with different characteristics were analyzed, and the influence path of AIDS knowledge on AIDS discrimination were further analyzed based on different peer relationships.
Results:
The total scores of AIDS knowledge was negatively correlated to AIDS discrimination( r s =-0.13, P <0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, the total score of AIDS knowledge was associated with the total score of AIDS discrimination( β =-0.12, P <0.01). AIDS knowledge played a role in AIDS discrimination in intimate, general and unfamiliar peer relationships, with standardized path coefficients of -0.20, -0.24 and -0.18 respectively( P <0.01).
Conclusion
AIDS knowledge are correlated with discrimination among freshmen under different peer relationships. More anti-AIDS discrimination courses should be added to AIDS education to reduce the students’ fear and stigma of HIV/AIDS patients and related risk groups.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the animal model of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) induced by inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) from inflammation, apoptosis and autophagy, compare the rat RA model of wind-damp-heat arthralgia (FSR) induced by Mtb with the rat RA model of adjuvant arthritis (AA), and provide experimental evidence for improving the disease-syndrome combined model and developing drugs for the prevention and treatment of RA. MethodThirty 6-week-old SD rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups: a normal group, an AA group and a FSR group, with 10 rats in each group. The RA rat model was established by injection of Mtb suspension (1 mg/rat), and the rats in the normal group were injected with the same volume of normal saline. The invention in the FSR group lasted for 16 days. The general conditions, body weight, spleen index, swelling of ankle joints, arthritis index (AI), and the symptoms of arthritis in the hind feet of the rats in each group were observed and measured. The expression levels of serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, apoptosis-related protein B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2 associated X protein (Bax), autophagy-related protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3), autophagy key molecule yeast Atg6 (Beclin1),and p62 mRNA expression levels were detected by Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). The protein expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, LC3, Beclin1 and p62 were detected by Western blot. ResultCompared with those of the normal group, the rats of AA and FSR groups grew slowly and presented dull hair, soft or loose stool, slow movement, swelling of spleen, redness and swelling of ankle joints, increased AI, and histopathologic changes in the synovium and ankle joints. Moreover, the modeling elevated the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the serum, up-regulated the mRNA levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the synovium, up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Bcl2, LC3, Beclin1, and down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of Bax and p62. Compared with the AA group, the FSR group showed severe symptoms, slowly increased body weight (P<0.01), early appearance of obvious redness and swelling of ankle joints, increased AI (P<0.05), increased spleen index (P<0.05), and obvious pathologic changes of synovial tissue and ankle joints, the inflammatory infiltration in the synovial tissue, and the damage of joint structure. Moreover, the FSR group had higher expression levels of IL-1β, TNF-α, Bcl-2, LC3, and Beclin1 (P<0.05) and lower expression levels of Bax and p62 than the AA group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe animal model of RA (syndrome of wind-damp-heat arthralgia) can be induced successfully with the symptoms consistent with clinical manifestations of RA. The FSR group has lower apoptosis level and higher autophagy level than the AA group, which indicates that the FSR group is more appropriate for the research on the RA with the syndrome of wind-damp-heat arthralgia.

An essential step for cancer vaccination is to break the immunosuppression and elicit a tumor-specific immunity. A major hurdle against cancer therapeutic vaccination is the insufficient immune stimulation of the cancer vaccines and lack of a safe and efficient adjuvant for human use. We discovered a novel cancer immunostimulant, trichosanthin (TCS), that is a clinically used protein drug in China, and developed a well-adaptable protein-engineering method for making recombinant protein vaccines by fusion of an antigenic peptide, TCS, and a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), termed an "all-in-one" vaccine, for transcutaneous cancer immunization. The TCS adjuvant effect on antigen presentation was investigated and the antitumor immunity of the vaccines was investigated using the different tumor models. The vaccines were prepared
