BACKGROUND: Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation influences the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of cells. However, there are no reports about the role of FAK phosphorylation in migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells during the process of vascular restenosis.OBJECTIVE : To analyze the correlation between FAK phosphorylation and vascular remodeling after balloon endothelial denudation in rats.DESIGN: Random controlled experiments in animals.SETTING: Cardiology Institute of Xianning College; Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Control;Department of Cardiology at the Affiliated Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERrALS: The experiment was carried out in the Laboratory of Cardiology at the Affiliated Tongji Hospital from March to May in 2005. Forty male Wistar rats were used in the study, and they were managed according to the ethical standard of animals.METHODS: ①Forty rats were randomized into five groups (n =8): non-balloon endothelial denudation control group, and 4-day, 8-day, 16-day and 24-day model groups after balloon endothelial denudation. ②The rat models of restenosis following balloon endothelial denudation were built. At days 4, 8, 16 and 24 postoperatively, the denudated vessels were harvested for the detection of the morphological changes, which were taken as the judgment of successful models;Western blot method was used to detect the expression and activity of FAK. Abdominal aorta of left common carotid in rats was served as controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expressions of FAK and phosphorylation FAK in rat artery.RESULTS: Totally 40 rats were all involved in the result analysis.①A small quantity of FAK without phosphorylation could be detected in the controlled rats. Compared with the control group, the expression and activity of FAK in the model group rapidly increased at 4 days after balloon injury (P ＜ 0.05), and they changed in a similar manner with the increase of injury duration. The expression of FAK reached a peak at 8 days and began to descend at 16 days. The expression of phosphorylation FAK reached a peak at 16 days and then rapidly descended. ②Focal hyperplasia of intima was found at 8 days after balloon endothelial denudation, and diffuse hyperplasia of intima was found at 16-24 days after denudation.CONCLUSION: FAK can take part in vascular remodeling after balloon endothelial denudation in rats. The level of intimal hyperplasia is closely associated with the level of FAK and FAK phosphorylation.

BACKGROUND:Adherent migration of vascular smooth muscle cells and proliferated remodeling of vessel walls following vascular endothelial injury play a key role in onset of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty,while expression and phosphorylation activation of focal adhesion kinase are attacked during this period.OBJECTIVE:To observe the interventional effect of angiotensin receptor antagonist,telmisartan,on the expression and activation of focal adhesion kinase during vascular-injured remodeling.DESIGN:Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING:Shenzhen Center for Chronic Disease Control and Prevention;Department of Cardiology,Affiliated Hospital of Xianning Medical College;Department of Cardiology,Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS:The experiment was carded out in the Cardiovascular Laboratory,Wuhan Tongji Hospital from March to May 2005.A total of 36 male Wistar rats weighing 300-360 g were randomly divided into control group,model group and treatment group with 12 in each group.METHODS:Aortal restenosis models were established after endothelial denudation.Foley's tube technique was used to strip vascular endothetium of rats in the model group and the treatment group;while,rats in the control group and the model group were fed and drunk normally; in addition, rats in the treatment group were also given 5 mg/(kg·d) telmisartan solution.Thirty clays after successive administration,vessels at injured sites were collected to observe the morphological changes and extract RNA and protein.Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to measure mRNA expression of focal adhesion kinase and Westem blot technique was USod to measure total protein and phosphorylated protein of focal adhesion kinase.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Proliferation of vessel wall at injured sites; mRNA expression, total protein and phosphorylated protein of focal adhesion kinase at injured sites at 30 days after administration.RESULTS:A total of 36 rats Were involved in the final analysis.Thirty days after operation, aortic tunica intima was thickened in the model group, mRNA expression of focal adhesion kinase was increased, and total protein and phosphorylated protein were higher in the model group than those in the control group;however,proliferation of tunica 5ntima vasorum was lightened in the treatment group, activity of mRNA expression of focal adhesion kinase was decreased, and total protein and phosphorylated protein were lower in the treatment group than those in the model group.CONCLUSION: Telmisartan can remarkably relieve proliferation of tunica intima after denudation and inhibit expression and activation of focal adhesion kinase after vascular injury.Effect of telmisartan on vascular-injured remodeling may be related to inhibiting expression and activation of focal adhesion kinase.

To further explore the result of bilingual teaching in pediatrics,we randomly chose 200 undergraduates of 4 class and released students'questionnaires about bilingual teaching with teaching content before and after class to assess students'understanding of bilingual teaching and analysed appraisal result.We found no significant difference of student score between students accepting bilingual teaching and not accepting the bilingual teaching,but there was difference for English tests and expression level.So we think that students can fully accept the bilingual teaching of pediatrics under the premise with selecting appropriate teaching methods and means.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases reported in Zhejiang Province in 2020 for prevention and control. Methods: Data of notifiable infectious diseases reported in Zhejiang Province in 2020 were extracted from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. The incidence and death of notifiable infectious diseases were analyzed and compared with the averages from 2015 to 2019; then the characteristics of some key diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19 ), influenza and other infectious diarrhea were summarized. Results: Totally 487 271 cases of 30 kinds of infectious diseases were reported. The incidence and mortality rate was 832.94/100 000 and 0.615 4/100 000, which were 7.05% and 14.60% lower than the average value of 2015-2019.The weekly morbidity of Class A and Class B infectious diseases fluctuated between 1.24/100 000 and 3.68/100 000, and hit the bottom in the sixth to eighth week. The morbidity of Class C infectious diseases was 154.19/100 000 in the first week, then dropped to 4.83/100 000 in the second to sixth week and maintained at a low level. High morbidity of infectious diseases were reported in Hangzhou ( 1 412.62/100 000 ), Jinhua ( 960.35/100 000 ) and Ningbo ( 921.25/100 000 ). The morbidity of class C infectious diseases in Hangzhou was 1 248.80/100 000, which was far higher than that of other ten prefecture-level cities. The diseases with high reported morbidity were influenza (438.45/100 000), other infectious diarrhea (140.29/100 000 ), hand-foot-and-mouth disease ( 99.64/100 000 ), pulmonary tuberculosis ( 41.92/100 000 ), syphilis (41.37/100 000) and viral hepatitis ( 30.48/100 000 ). More deaths were reported in AIDS and pulmonary tuberculosis, and the mortality were 0.482 1/100 000 and 0.116 2/100 000. A total of 1 306 confirmed cases, 302 asymptomatic infections and 1 death of COVID-19 were reported. Conclusion In 2020, the incidence rate of notifiable infectious diseases in Zhejiang decreased compared with the average value of 2015-2019. Pulmonary tuberculosis, syphilis and hepatitis B still have high morbidity, and the COVID-19 epidemic spread widely. The morbidity of some respiratory infectious diseases and imported infectious diseases have dropped significantly compared with previous years.

To observe the effect of Tetrandrine (tet) combined with Droloxifen (DRL) on the expression of bcr/abl mRNA and P(210) BCR/ABL protein of K562 cell line, after K562 cells were cultured in the medium containing Tet (1 micromol/L), DRL (5 micromol/L) separately or in their combination for some time, the changes of bcr/abl mRNA and protein expression were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The results showed that the application of single drug of Tet or DRL had no effect on bcr/abl mRNA and BCR/ABL protein expression in K562 cell line. However, Tet in combination with DRL began to downregulate bcr/abl mRNA and P(210) BCR/ABL expression of K562 cells at 48 h and 72 h, respectively. It is concluded that tetrandrine in combination with Droloxifen can downregulate the expression of bcr/abl mRNA and P(210) BCR/ABL protein and the combination may be involved in the mechanism underlying the reverse effects on multidrug resistance in leukemia.

Humanin(HN,its analogue [Gly14]-Humanin,HNG)was originally identified as an endogenous peptide that protects neuronal cells from apoptosis induced by various types of Alzheimer's disease-related insults.But the relative low content of this peptide in its natural sources limits its further characterization.An expression vector pET32a/HNG was corstructed and transformed it into E.coli BL21 trxB(DE3).HNG was expressed as a fusion protein in the soluble fraction and was purified by nickel affinity chromatography.Subsequently,the purified fusion protein was cleaved by enterokinase and was further purified by reverse-phase HPLC.A 23 mg recombinant HNG(rHNG)from 1 L bacterial culture was purified.The molecular weight of rHNG determined by ESI-MS was 2876.5 Da which was the expected size for correctly processed peptide.The N-terminal amino acid sequence of rHNG determined by Edman degradation method is identical to the theoretical sequence.Neuroprotective bioassay studies of rHNG exhibited its potential neuroprotective effect comparable to that of the natural HNG peptide.
