Brucella organisms are facultative intracellular bacteria capable of surviving inside professional and non-professional phagocytes.Upon cell contact the bacteria is internalized via receptor molecules.Once inside cells,Brucella localizes in early phagosomes,where it avoids fusion with late endosomes and lysosomes.Then,the bacterium redirects its trafficking to autophagosomes and finally reaches the endoplasmic reticulum,the replicating niche.Once inside the endoplasmic reticulum,Brucella extensively replicates without restricting basic cellular functions or inducing damage to cells.Invasion,intracellular trafficking and replication of Brucella organisms in professional and non-professional phagocytes and the molecular determinants involving Brucella intracellular life are reviewed in this article.

Objective To investigate the effects of interventions on psychological stress factors of nurses in the emergency department of general hospital. Methods Symptom checklist 90(SCL-90)was used for investigation. The corresponding interventions were conducted based on the found problems. Results The mental health of the nurses in general hospital emergency department was worse than that of the general population. Each factor score, the total average score and the number of items after intervention had significant difference than that before intervention respectively. The incidence rate of top 10 symptoms was significantly decreased after the intervention than that before. Conclusions Implementation of comprehensive intervention can significantly improve the mental health of the nurses in emergency department of general hospital.

Simplified interspecies nuclear transfer in mouse and bovine and the possibilities of the embryos reprogramming were developed. The zona and nucleus of the bovine oocyte were removed by pronase and bisection method respectively. When the skin fibroblast of mouse was fused with the nucleus-free oocyte of the bovine using 40?s and 1. 5 kv/cm direct current pulse, the rates of fusion and cleavage were 67. 44% and 30.23% respectively. Reconstructed heterogenous embryos finally developed to 8-cell stage when they were previously activated by ionomycin and 6-DMAP and subsequently cultured in press-made micro-well in the drop of the medium. Zona-free bisection method could be used for mouse heterogenous embryos cloning, and the micro well culture method could be used to avoid zona-free embryos aggregation.

One strain of Pseudoalteromonas sp. E18 was isolated from the sea mud of Ningbo, Zhejiang. It can produce indigo pigment. The morphological, cultural and biochemical characteristics of the bacterium were studied. The indigo pigment was also extracted. The results showed that the maximum absorption peak of the pigment was at 579nm. The pigment was stable to UV, Na_2SO_3,It was also stable at pH 3～9. The pigment was unstable to the sunlight and high concentration H_2O_2. Temperature of 60℃～80℃ could increase the hue while temperature higher than 90℃ could reduce the hue.

Objective To explore the effect of empathy nursing on anxiety,depression and expectation of patients with myocardial infarction.Methods In our study,47 patients with myocardial infarction in the department of cardiology of our hospital from August 2013 to July 2014 were assigned as the control group and another 47 patients with the same disease during August 2014 to July 2015 as the study group.The control group received conventional nursing treatment and the study empathy nursing in addition to the conventional nursing.The two groups were compared in terms of anxiety,depression and expectation using Zung anxiety self rating scale (SAS),depression self rating scale (SDS) and Herth hope index (HHI).Results On admission,the patients in the two groups showed no differences in the levels of anxiety,depression and expectation (P＞0.05).After intervention,the levels of anxiety and depression in the study were significantly lower than those in the control group,but the level of expectation was higher (all P＜0.05).Conclusion Empathy nursing is effective for the relief of anxiety and depression in the patients with myocardial infarction as well as for their enhanced expectation for prognosis.

Objective To compare everolimus (EVR) with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) minimization or withdrawal on renal function of liver transplant patients with standard CNI therapy.Methods A search was conducted on databases which included the PubMed,Embase and Cochrane library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing EVR with CNI with minimization or withdrawal (the EVR group) with standard CNI therapy (the standard CNIs group) on renal function of liver transplant patients.A metaanalysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software.Results Five RCTs which included 1 264 patients were selected into this study.There were 790 patients in the EVR group and 474 patients in the standard CNIs group.On meta-analysis,the EVR group had significantly better renal function (SMD =0.36,95％ CI 0.09 ～ 0.64,P ＜ 0.05),but higher rates of infection (RR =1.37,95％ CI 1.08 ～ 1.74,P ＜ 0.05),dyslipidemia (RR =2.46,95％ CI 1.79 ～ 3.38) and leukopenia (RR =2.37,95％ CI 1.32 ～ 4.26).No significant differences were found on the mortality and the acute rejection rates between the two groups (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions EVR with CNI minimization or withdrawal after liver transplantation provided effective immunosuppression and improved patients' renal function.The treatment increased the rates of infection,dyslipidemia and leukopenia.

During growth and progression, the microenvironment of tumors suffers a series of abnormal characteristics, which include hypoxia, acid pH, increased oxidative stress, excess glutathione (GSH), as well as certain overexpressed enzymes. Although affect or limit the cancer therapeutic outcomes, these factors provide possible approaches to strategies for cancer detection and novel therapy at the same time. Recently, based on these properties of the tumor microenvironment (TME), various kinds of responsive nano-platforms have been continuously developed and applied in cancer theranostics preliminarily. Thus, this review would introduce the typical features of TME firstly, then detailly summarize the design principles and research progress of corresponding hypoxia-responsive, pH-responsive, redox-responsive, enzyme-responsive, dual-responsive and multi-responsive nano-platforms. Finally, the challenges and the perspectives of the TME-responsive nano-platforms are briefly discussed.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of ~1H-MR spectroscopy(~1H-MRS)imaging to quantitatively detect fatty liver.Methods Twenty patients with fatty liver and 11 healthy volunteers underwent plain CT scan,conventional MR imaging and ~1H-MRS analysis.The blood lipid and liver function were tested on the same day as the MR examination.~1H-MRS sequence measured the peaks of H_2O and lipid,and the areas under the peaks.The relative contents of the lipid compound were calculated,and compared with the results of CT scan and liver function tests.Results The CT values of the normal group and the fatty liver group were(59?9)HU and(24?11)HU respectively.On ~1H-MRS a protruding high H_2O peak and a flat low lipid peak were observed in the normal group,while the protruding high H_2O peak and a high lipid peak appeared in the fatty liver group.The values of lipid peak in the normal group and the fatty liver group were(0.05?0.01)?10~5,(0.70?0.24)?10~5 respectively(t=4.32,P0.05),the areas under the lipid peak were(1.36?0.73)?10~9、(2.35?1.15)?10~9 respectively(t=5.21,P0.05).Conclusion ~1 H-MRS imaging is feasible to quantitatively detect liver fat and is a non-invasive method for detecting early fatty liver.
