Objective To obtain purified myosin-Vc (Myo5c) protein and prepare its polyclonal antibodies of mouse and rabbit. Methods The fragment encoding Myo5c specific protein (297 amino acids) was amplified with RT-PCR from human gastric mucosa. The product and the prokaryotic expression plasmid pQE-31 containing 6?His were used to construct pQE-31/Myo5c. The recombinant was transformed into E. coli JM109 and induced to express with IPTG. The objective product was purified. BALB/c mice and rabbits were immunized with the purified Myo5c protein and the antiserum was obtained. Titer and specificity of the polyclonal antibodies were determined by ELISA and Western blotting. Results pQE-31/Myo5c was successfully constructed. The fusion protein of Myo5c with molecular weight 42 000 was obtained and purified. The recombined protein showed immunogenicity. Mouse or rabbit antiserum with high level of specific antibodies for Myo5c was obtained. Indirect immunostaining and Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the antibodies could recognize native Myo5c protein. Conclusion Our results suggest that the prepared antibodies might be useful in studying the function of Myo5c in intracellular trafficking of endocytic vesicle, such as viruses.

BACKGROUND:Incidence of degenerative mitral regurgitation show a gradual increase tendency,but there is no report on degenerative mitral regurgitation due to pure mitral valve ring expansion in China.OBJECTIVE:To summarze the early and midterm outcomes of pure mitral valve annuloplasty in the treatment of degenerative mitral regurgitation due to pure mitral valve ring expansion. METHODS :Forty-eight patients with degenerative mitrlal regurgitation due to pure mitral valve ring expansion underwent pure mitral valve annuloplasty, including 23 cases treated with Carpentier-Edwards Physio ring and 23 with SJMTM rigid saddle ring.Affter discharge,echocardiography was used to evaluate heart function and mitral regurgitation degree during the follow-up.The outcomes were compared between the two groups. RWSULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no early death after operation and all cases were cured and discharged.All patients were followed up for 3 months to 4years,and the cardiac function and mitral valve regurgitation were significantly improved (no mitral regurgitation in 36 cases,trivial regurgitation in 10 cases and mild mitral regurgitation in 2cases).According to NYHA grading,there were 32 cases of level 1 and 16 ceses of level Ⅱ. The echocardiography showed that postoperative left atrium diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, pulmonary artery systolic pressure and the ratio of regurgitation beam area to left atrial area were significantly lower than those before operation (P < 0.01). The left ventricular ejection fraction increased greatly (P < 0.01). There was no ring rupture, ring avulsion and hemolysis. Postoperative transvalvular pressure was less than 3 mm Hg. However, there were no significant differences in the above-mentioned parameters between the Carpentier-Edwards Physio ring and SJMTM rigid saddle ring groups. The results suggest that the pure mitral valve annuloplasty is excelent in the treatment of degenerative mitral regurgitation due to pure mitral valve ring expansion, through the right surgical techniques and the right choice of artificial valve ring.

BACKGROUND:For patients with degenerative mitral annulus dilatation complicated by atrial fibrilation, atrial fibrilation is needed to be treated concomitant with artificial valve ring implantation. Although Cox maze III procedure is the gold standard for treatment of atrial fibrilation, its safety has been questioned. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety of artificial valve rings implantation and Cox Maze III procedure for treatment of degenerative mitral annulus dilatation complicated by atrial fibrilation. METHODS: A total of 43 patients with degenerative mitral annulus dilatation and atrial fibrilation were enroled and were randomly divided into test group (n=21) and control group (n=22). Patients in the test group were treated with mitral valvuloplasty and Cox Maze III procedure. Patients in the control group were only treated with mitral valvuloplasty. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Intraoperative safety indexes: the durations of cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic clamping. and the incidence of hemoglobinuria in the test group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the urine output between these two groups. (2) Postoperative safety indexes: the incidence of atrial dysrhythmia (i.e., any atrial dysrhythmia other than atrial fibrilation), proportion of patients requiring a temporary pacemaker and hospital stays in the test group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the secondary-thoracotomy bleeding rate and incidence of stroke between these two groups. (3) Postoperative outcomes: the rates of cardioversion to achieve sinus rhythm at the day of surgery and at discharge in the test group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.001). At discharge, patients in both groups were al at NYHA functional class Ior II. Echocardiography showed trace to mild mitral regurgitation and complete closure of the tricuspid valve. There were no significant differences in the left atrial diameter, left ventricular diameter, left ventricular volume, and ejection fraction between these two groups. However, the proportions of mitral and tricuspid valve peak A-waves were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.001). These results show that artificial valve ring implantation and Cox Maze III procedure is a safe and effective method for treating degenerative mitral annulus dilatation complicated by atrial fibrilation during operation.

Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2024;23(4):460-464
Objective:To investigate the impact of teacher-student language interaction behavior in the teaching quality of health management courses in lecture competitions by using the Flanders interaction analysis method.Methods:The Flanders interaction analysis model was used to collect and analyze the data on teacher-student interaction behavior of three teachers during the lecture competitions of health management courses, and the three teachers were analyzed in terms of behavior in classroom interaction, student reactions, and features of interaction mode.Results:During the lecture competition, it was found that region E in the FIAS matrix was positive and qualified, and the frequency ratio of positive and qualified to defective grids was much greater than 1 for the three teachers. The teaching methods of all three teachers could alleviate the tense atmosphere in the classroom, enhance interaction between teachers and students, and improve the learning effectiveness of students. The speech behaviors of Teacher C and Teacher S were 91.87% and 81.48%, respectively, which were higher than the norm, while the speech behaviors of Teacher Y was 52.63%, which was lower than the norm. The integrated teaching method was better than the teaching methods of case-based learning and problem-based learning and could better help students master health knowledge and skills, cultivate a healthy lifestyle, promote physical and mental health, and improve health literacy.Conclusions:By using the Flanders interaction analysis method, teachers can observe and analyze interactions with students, evaluate teaching effectiveness, and provide targeted feedback and improvement suggestions to improve teaching quality and the learning outcomes of students. At the same time, teachers and students can also understand their strengths and weaknesses through observation and analysis of interaction methods and make corresponding improvements to teaching methods and contents, so as to encourage students to actively participate in classroom interaction and improve learning effectiveness and student satisfaction.

Objective:To explore the influence of points system management on the career development of medical staff in health management discipline.Methods:Using a cross-sectional study design, medical staff in the health management discipline of tertiary hospitals in China were selected as the research objects from February 1 to March 1, 2024 through questionnaire star convenience sampling and snowball sampling, and their general information, performance appraisal satisfaction, professional identity, burnout, professional benefit, professional career management and other information were collected, and the correlation and influencing factors among them were explored. A total of 423 questionnaires were distributed, and 402 (95.0%) valid questionnaires were collected.Results:A total of 207 (51.5%) medical staff had job burnout, and 257 (63.9%) of them had medium or below level of professional identity. There were positive correlations among performance appraisal satisfaction, professional identity, career benefit and professional career management. There was a negative correlation between burnout and performance appraisal satisfaction ( r=-0.439), professional identity ( r=-0.356), career benefit ( r=-0.584), and professional career management ( r=-0.185) (all P<0.05). Higher age, working time, monthly income level, title level, position level, understanding of performance appraisal system, satisfaction with feedback results and application satisfaction were the protective factors of burnout, and under the points-based system, the scores of performance appraisal satisfaction, professional identity, career benefit, and professional career management were higher, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). A total of 310 medical staff (77.1%) believed that performance appraisal had a motivating effect on them. Conclusion:The performance appraisal of the point system has a good motivating effect on the medical staff of the health management discipline, and is closely related to professional identity, burnout, professional benefit, and professional career planning.
