Objective:To investigate the differentially expressed genes of gastric mucosa of precancerous lesion of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in rats intervented by promoting blood flow therapy of TCM,and to analyze its mechanism at genetic level. Methods:The model of precancerous lesion of CAG rats was induced by spring insertion and intragastric administration of NaCl solution and hot paste. To detect the differentially expressed genes of precancerous lesion of CAG rats by gene chip technology,and the main differentially expressed genes were indentified by real-time PCR. Results:Compared with blank group,HSP70 and ptk2 significantly reduced in natural recovery group,the HSP70 expression increased signifi cantly after being treated with supplementing qi for promoting blood flow,and ptk2 expression increased obviously after being treated with regulating qi and promoting blood flow. The results of real-time PCR in expression level of HSP70mRNA and ptk2mRNA were the same as that of the gene chip technology. Conclusion:Supplementing qi for promoting blood flow can upregulate HSP70,thus inhibit precancerous lesion of CAG in rat gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and promote mucosal repair; Regulating qi and promoting blood flow can up-regulate ptk2,sequentially regular remodeling of actin cytoskeleton and promote repairing and healing of injury gastric mucosal. These may be one of mechanism that supplementing qi for promoting blood flow and regulating qi and promoting blood flow treat precancerous lesion of CAG.

Background: Depressive symptoms (DS) can erode physical and mental health; social support (SS) is considered a buffer for DS and a promoter for improving coping and recovery abilities. However, there is almost no research on the mediating role of negative coping (NC) in SS and DS, especially among firefighters. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among firefighters in Chongqing, China, and the valid data of 407 firefighters were collected through questionnaires distributed on the WeChat platform in 2020. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 26.0 is used for descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. Structural equation modeling was adopted to analyze the association among SS, NC, and DS. The mediation effect is also evaluated. Results: Firefighters' detection rate of DS is 23.3%, and when they receive more SS were less likely to develop DS. NC was positively correlated with DS (β = 0.54, p < 0.001) after controlling for SS. Besides, the results of structural equation modeling showed that NC partially mediates the relationship between SS and DS (standard error = 0.039, indirect effects = 0.109, 95% confidence interval: 0.047–0.200 p < 0.001). Conclusion NC has a partial indirect effect between SS and DS among firefighters. SS could not only affect DS directly but also indirect work on it by affecting NC. This discovery will be a novel and meaningful part of the research on the firefighter population.

Aim Toconstructthreeplasmidsincluding Smad3 WT,Smad3 EPSM and Smad3 3S-A stable transfection in HepG2 cell lines to investigate phospho-domains of Snad3(pSmad3C or pSmad3L),their pro-tein expression and roles in HepG2 cell proliferation, apoptosisandcellcycle.Methods Threeplasmidsin-cluding Smad3 WT (Carry the wild Smad3 gene ), Smad3 EPSM(Carry the mutated phosphorylation site in linker region of Smad3 gene)and Smad3 3S-A(Car-ry the mutated phosphorylation site in C-terminal of Smad3 gene)were respectively transfected into HepG2 cells by using a liposome transfection reagent.Verifi-cation of positive cells was done by screening with G418 via co-culture.Transfection efficiency was deter-mined by Western blot.Cell proliferation was induced by exogenous TGF-β1 in the respective stably transfect-ed HepG2 cell lines.Cell proliferation was monitored by MTT.Cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flowcytometry(FCM).Results Therewaselevated protein expression of the respective phospho-domain sites in the stably transfected HepG2 cells for Smad3 WT(C-terminus and Linker),Smad3 EPSM(C-termi-nus)and Smad3 3S-A(Linker),which indicated suc-cessful stable transfection of HepG2 cell lines.The re-sults from MTT experiment showed that TGF-β1 could induce proliferation of HepG2 cells with or without the transfection of Smad3 WT,Smad3 EPSM and Smad3 3S-A plasmids,meanwhile transfected Smad3 EPSM plasmids could significantly inhibit proliferation of HepG2 cells induced by TGF-β1 , and transfected Smad3 3S-A plasmids accelerate proliferation of HepG2 cells induced by TGF-β1 .Cell cycle analysis showed that the G0/G1 phase of HepG2 cells with stable trans-fection of Smad3 EPSM plasmid increased compared with HepG2 cells with or without stable transfection of Smad3 WT plasmid,meanwhile the G2/M phase of HepG2 cells with stable transfection of Smad3 3 S-A plasmid increased.Compared with Smad3 WT trans-fected cells, apoptosis in Smad3 EPSM transfected cells was markedly increased,while that of Smad3 3S-Atransfectedcellsdecreased.Conclusions Thethree plasmids of Smad3 WT,Smad3 EPSM and Smad3 3S-A stably transfected HepG2 cell lines have been suc-cessively constructed.The construction of three plas-mids transfected HepG2 cell lines provides the research foundation for studying medical as well as possible reg-ulatory mechanism of pSmad3 C/pSmad3 L.
