Objective:To evaluate the effect of applying high-fidelity simulation model in the teaching of lower urinary tract injury.Methods:A total of 50 junior medical students majoring in clinical medicine were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to the control group or the experimental group. The students in the control group were taught using the traditional method involving PPT presentation and videos on lower urinary tract anatomy, surgical basis of lower urinary tract injury, and operative methods for lower urinary tract injury. The students in the experimental group were taught using the simulation model for observation and related operation. After four class hours (40 minutes/class hour) of teaching, the students in the two groups were subjected to theoretical assessment and questionnaire survey. The differences between the two groups were compared and analyzed using the t and χ 2 tests in SPSS 26.0. Results:The total scores of theoretical assessment were (36.80±4.00) and (33.12±3.62) in the experimental group and the control group, respectively, and the difference was significant ( P<0.05). The results of the questionnaire showed that the self-evaluation of the experimental group was better than that of the control group in the mastery of theoretical knowledge, clinical operation, early treatment, operation process, and key steps, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the traditional teaching method, the high-fidelity simulation model improves the efficiency of learning anatomy knowledge and operation process, and promotes the mastery of important and difficult knowledge in lower urinary tract injury. This method merits popularization.

Plasmids are the most commonly used gene carriers in the field of gene synthesis and sequencing. However, the main problems faced by traditional plasmid DNA extraction technology are low extraction throughput and high production cost, so they cannot meet the growing demand. In this study, a double-magnetic-bead method (DMBM) for plasmid extraction was developed based on the principle of plasmid extraction. The effects of the input of magnetic beads, the size of plasmid DNA fragments, and the volume of bacterial on plasmid DNA extraction were explored. In addition, the quality, throughput, and cost of plasmid DNA extraction were also compared between this technique and the commercial plasmid DNA extraction kits. The results showed that the DMBM can meet the needs of extracting plasmid DNA with different cell densities and fragment lengths. Moreover, the sensitivity and quality of plasmid extraction by the DMBM method were both superior to those of the centrifugal adsorption column method. In addition, this technique could be applied on a 96-channel automated nucleic acid extractor, resulting in higher purity of the extracted plasmid DNA, 80% reduction in extraction time, and 57.1% reduction in cost. It also reduces manual operations, achieving high-throughput and low-cost plasmid DNA extraction, thus may facilitate gene synthesis and sequencing.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism by which chronic psychological stress aggravates intestinal barrier damage and promotes the development of enteritis through inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin pathway, so as to provide a new therapeutic strategy for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Methods:A comorbidity model of chronic psychological stress and enteritis was established using C57BL/6J mice. HE staining was used to analyze the effects of chronic psychological stress on the intestinal pathological damage in mice with enteritis. ELISA was used to detect the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. The ultrastructural changes of colonic cells and the state of intestinal mucus layer were observed under transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The secretion of mucoprotein 2 (MUC2) and the expression of cell proliferation marker Ki67 were detected by immunofluo rescence staining. The numbers of goblet cells were detected by Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff (AB-PAS) staining. Western blot was performed to analyze the expression of tight junction protein between intestinal epithelial cells, β-catenin which was a key protein of Wnt/β-catenin pathway maintaining crypt proliferation, and downstream protein c-myc.Results:The sugar water consumption ratio decreased, but tail suspension immobility time, the swimming immobility time and the expression of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) in hypothalamus increased (all P<0.05) in the stress group as compared with those in the control group. Chronic psychological stress promoted weight loss and colonic shortening in mice with enteritis, exacerbated pathological damage and enhanced the release of pro-inflammatory factors. Moreover, increased disappearance of intestinal epithelial microvilli and severe cellular ultrastructural damage were also observed in the stress+ dextran sulfate sodium salt (DSS) group. There was no pathological damage in the control and stress groups. Chronic psychological stress aggravated intestinal barrier injury and inhibited intestinal barrier repair by inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Conclusions:In the mouse model of DSS-induced enteritis, chronic psychological stress preconditioning inhibited the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, weakened the repair ability of intestinal epithelium, aggravated the loss of mucus layer of intestinal barrier and the damage of tight junction structure, and promoted the development of enteritis. In the absence of enteritis, chronic psychological stress had no significant effects on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the intestinal barrier.

Objective:To investigate the role of chemokine receptor CX3CR1 in chronic skin inflammation and its regulatory mechanism.Methods:Wild type (WT) C57BL/6 mice and Cx3 cr1 GFP/GFP mice were induced by DNFB to establish acute and chronic allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) model. Ear inflammation and swelling were observed with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the changes in classical Langerhans cell (LC) and monocyte-derived LC (Mo-LC), as well as the expression of major histocompatibility complex Ⅱ (MHCⅡ), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and TNF-α. Changes in epidermal LC in UV irradiation-induced dermatitis models were also analyzed. In human chronic skin inflammation, CX3CL1 expression was detected using immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot and CD1a, CD14 and CD207 expression was observed with immunofluorescence staining. Results:In the chronic ACD model, Cx3 cr1 GFP/GFP mice showed significantly alleviated ear inflammatory and swelling as compared with WT mice, but no significant difference was found in the acute ACD model. The percentages of Mo-LC were decreased in the chronic ACD model and after three weeks of UV irradiation. Moreover, MHCⅡ, TNF-α and iNOS expressed by Mo-LC were significantly upregulated as compared with those by classical LC. CX3CL1 expression was significantly upregulated and the numbers of CD14 + monocytes and CD1a + langerin - Mo-LC were dramatically increased in human chronic skin inflammation. Conclusions:CX3CR1 might maintain inflammatory response by regulating local remodeling of Mo-LC in chronic skin inflammation.

Objective: To explore the influence of parents educational level and family type on the level of parental control, so as to lay a foundation for improving parental education and promoting adolescents mental and physical health. Methods: In April 2019, random cluster sampling was used to select 1 046 students in junior and senior high schools in Bengbu. Information was collected through the Chinese version of Parental Control Questionnaire, and SPSS 25.0 for statistical analysis was used. Results: Mother s behavioral control and mother s educational level were significantly positively correlated( r =0.18), father s behavioral control and father s education level were significantly positively correlated( r =0.16). There was a significant positive correlation between the total score of maternal control and mother s education level( r =0.16). The total score of father s control was positively correlated with the education level of the fathers( r =0.12)( P <0.05). There was significant differences between the parents with different education level on parental control( H =16.93, 32.21, P <0.05). The score on parents behavioral control with primary school education or without education low among the parents with other education levels. There were differences between different family types in the total score of parental control( F =2.63, 3.55, P <0.05). Compared with extended families and nuclear families, single parent families total scored had significantly lower in father s control, and single parent families total scored significantly lower in mother s control scores than extended families. Parents educational level and family type had significantly predicted effect on parental behavioral control. Conclusion Parents educational level and family type have an influence on parents psychological and behavioral control, and have a predictive effect on parents control level. Parental control levels should be improved by improving the family s upbringing environment.

Dendritic cells (DC) represent a heterogeneous cell population including many subsets. DC subpopulations with different characteristics and functions have been identified. The liver, as an immunological organ, is important in induction of immune tolerance. The unique anatomical architecture and immune properties of the liver have given DC the ability to maintain liver homeostasis and respond quickly to liver tissue damage. This article reviewed the role of hepatic DC subsets in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis and repair of damaged tissue in the liver.
