p53 gene is a 16-20 kb of cellular DNA located on the short arm of human chromosome 17 at position 17pl3.1. This gene encodes a 393-amino acid nuclear phosphoprotein which involves in the regulation of cell proliferation. Loss of normal p53 function is associated with the cell transformation in vitro and the development of neoplasms in vivo. More than one-half of human malignancies were shown to contain an altered p53 gene. Most p53 gene alterations are the missense mutations, giving rise to an altered protein. The inactivation of wild-type p53 is currently regarded as an important genetic pathway for haman carcinogenesis generated by endogenous factors and exogenous carcinogens, as well as several tumor viruses. To gain more insight into the functional role of wild-type p53 in human colo-rectal carcinoma, a 2. 1 kilobase human wild-type p53 cDNA with 5' and 3' untranslated sequences was cloned into the BamHI site of pREP9 (episomal mammalian expression vector) in sense orientation. We performed experiments to transfer wild-type p53 into human colon adenocarcinoma cell line (SW1116) harboring mutant p53 genes with electroporation method. We assessed G4I8-resistant clonal growth, cell growth properties and cell cycle pattern by flow cytometry. The results demonstrated that human wild type p53 gene can suppress the phenotype of SW1116 cell line. So gene therapy based on restoration of the defective or mutant p53 function plays an important role in colo-rectal cancer treatment.

Objective:To survey the practice of hospice care and influencing factors among health providers in Shanghai.Methods:From November to December in 2019, a sampling survey on the practice of hospice care was conducted among 2 982 health providers from 217 institutions in 16 districts of Shanghai by using the self-designed scale.Results:The overall behavior frequency of hospice care in health providers was between "occasionally" (3 points) and "often" (4 points). The item score was (3.7±0.9), and the total score was (52.1±10.0). In the aspect of building a good relationship with patients and family(77.7%, 2 317/2 982), the participants had the highest work-practice(46.4%, 1 383/2 982). However, they practiced less in recommending the hospice care institutions to terminal patients. In terms of work-practice, the average score in male providers, those with education of undergraduate and above, those being married (including divorced or widowed), medical staff, those with associated senior titles, with witness of dying, or those currently working in the hospice care service department was higher.Conclusions:The hospice care work-practice of health providers in Shanghai is generally satisfactory, however, there is still some discrepancy among health providers with various characteristics. To further improve quality of hospice care, it is necessary to strengthen policy implementation, to encourage multidisciplinary team cooperation and carry out various forms of professional training for health providers.

Aconitum, as a kind of common traditional Chinese medicine, contains multiple biological active substances, with a very high medicinal value but high toxicity. Its major toxic ingredients are aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine, which are also efficient ingredients. Therefore, the safety of its clinical application has aroused wide attention. With the constant deepening of drug development studies, people want to learn about its toxic mechanism and the regularity of its emergence and development of its toxicology, so as to make a scientific and rational assessment for its safety. Therefore, toxicokinetics and metabonomics have gradually become important content in the new drug assessment. During the development of drug performance, it is crucial to establish a scientific, objective and standardized Aconitum safety evaluation system and correctly assess and utilize its toxicity. Having summarized studies on metabonomics and toxicokinetics of Aconitum drugs in recent years, authors proposed to strengthen the studies on Aconitum drug safety assessment and establish a scientific and standardized safety evaluation system as soon as possible, in order to make the national treasure more useful.

8.Treatment of Osteoporosis
The Singapore Family Physician 2018;44(3):31-35
Non-pharmacological recommendations for osteoporosis prevention are based on lifestyle measures to reduce bone loss and modify factors that can influence fracture risk. Lifestyle measures include smoking cessation, avoidance of heavy alcohol, adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, exercise, and counselling on fall prevention. Calcium from dietary intake if adequate will not need supplementation; however vitamin D supplementation is usually required. The target of calcium 1000mg and 800iu of vitamin D daily are advised.
