Objective To investigate the expression of immunoglobulin γ-1 heavy chain constant region(IGHG1)in acute myeloid leukemia(AML)THP-1 cells and its influence on cell proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion via its regulation of the transforming growth factor β(TGF-β)/Smad pathway.Methods Bone marrow specimens from nine children with AML and eight children with fractures,human bone marrow stromal HS-5 cells,and human AML THP-1 and HL60 cells were used in the research.Western blot was used to detect IGHG1 protein expression.THP-1 cells were divided into a blank group(without any treatment),si-NC group,si-IGHG1-1 group,si-IGHG1-2 group,si-IGHG1-3 group,TGF-β group,si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β group,and si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β +LY364947 group.Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 method.Flow cytometry and Transwell experiment were performed to measure apoptosis and invasion.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of IGHG1,TGF-β,p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 in each group of cells.Results Compared with the bone marrow of children with fractures,the bone marrow of children with AML(P<0.05)had significantly higher expression levels of IGHG1((0.24±0.03)vs(0.87±0.12)).Compared with HS-5 cells,human AML THP-1 and HL60 cells had significantly increased expression levels of IGHG1((0.89±0.14)(0.75±0.08)vs(0.21±0.02))(P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,the si-IGHG1-1 group of THP-1 cells showed significantly reduced OD450 values(24 h,48 h,72 h),invading cell numbers and protein expression of TGF-β,p-Smad2,p-Smad3 and their apoptosis rate was increased(P<0.05),while the corresponding indexes showed the opposite trend in the TGF-β group(P<0.05).TGF-β reversed the effects of silencing IGHG1 on the proliferation,apoptosis and invasion of THP-1 cells.Compared with the si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β group,the si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β+LY364947 group had significantly decreased TGF-β,p-Smad2,p-Smad3 and protein levels,OD450 values and cell invasion numbers and the apoptosis rate was increased(P<0.05).Conclusions IGHG1 is highly expressed in AML cells.Silencing the IGHG1 gene can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of AML cells and promote the apoptosis of AML cells.This mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad pathway.

Objective:To investigate the post competency of "Academic-Practical" of clinical nursing teachers, and analyze related influencing factors.Methods:A total of 312 "Academic-Practical" and "Non-Academic-Practial" clinical nursing teachers from The Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were surveyed by the Clinical Nursing Teacher Post Competency Evaluation Questionnaire. SPSS 20.0 software was used for t test, chi-square test and rank sum test. Results:The average self-evaluation scores of post competency of "Academic-Practical" clinical nursing teachers were (4.26±0.41) points, which were higher than those of the "Non-Academic-Practical" teachers [(3.19 ±0.50) points], showing good post competency. There were significant differences in the scores of professional quality (17.39±1.54), professional attitude (21.75±2.21), professional ability (21.14±2.31), teaching ability (50.39±5.93), interpersonal coordination ability (25.57±3.04), and personality characteristics (17.27±2.04) between the "Academic-Practical" and "Non-Academic-Practical" teachers (all P<0.01). And there were significant differences in self-evaluation post competency scores of "Academic-Practical" teachers in "with or without teacher qualification certificate" ( P=0.001), "whether she/he is the backbone of the department" ( P=0.002), degree ( P=0.001), age ( P<0.001), positional title ( P<0.001) and working year ( P<0.001) (all P<0.01). But there was no significant difference in gender ( P=0.735) and "whether she/he is a specialized nurse" ( P=0.335). Conclusion:"Academic-Practical" and "Non-Academic-Practical" medical teachers should take the post competency as the core orientation, adopt the "Ladder" mode of training and management, and constantly improve the training plan of post competencey.

Objective:To investigate the fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) characteristics of spontaneous regression in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and the range of retinal vascularization.Methods:A clinical retrospective study. A total of 82 eyes of 41 infants with ROP, who underwent FFA from January 2019 to December 2021 in Department of Ophthalmology of Xijing Hospital after completion of ROP regression, were included. There were 25 males (50 eyes) and 16 females (32 eyes). ROP was diagnosed in Zone Ⅱ in 44 eyes, with 38 eyes in stage 2 and 6 eyes in stage 3, and in zone Ⅲ in 38 eyes of stage 2. All patients underwent FFA examination under general anesthesia, at postmenstrual age of 70.70±12.25 weeks, after the natural regression of ROP was completed. Focus on the retinal vascular development, as well as choroid circulation and macular abnormalities, and compare and observe the differences between zone Ⅱ and Ⅲ after spontaneous regression. The extent of retinal vascularization was determined by the ratio between the distance of the center of the disc to the border of the vascularized zone (DB) and the center of the disc to the fovea distance (DF). The width of avascular area, recorded as the distance from the ora serrata to the vascular termination, was counted by disc diameters (DD). The measurement data between zone Ⅱ and zone Ⅲ ROP were compared by the independent sample t-test, and the count data were compared by χ2 test or Fisher exact probability test. Results:The linear choroidal pattern was present in 9 eyes (21.95%, 9/41), and the tortuous arteries in the posterior retina were detected in 32 eyes (39.02%, 32/82). It was noted that increased branching of vessels presented in 45 eyes (54.88%, 45/82), straight shape of vessels shown in 27 eyes (32.93%, 27/82), circumferential vessels arisen in 45 eyes (54.88%, 45/82), arteriovenous shunt appeared in 18 eyes (21.95%, 18/82), and capillary bed lost in 46 eyes (56.10%, 46/82) in areas from initial ridge to vascular termini. Punctate or linear dye leakage was observed in 23 eyes (28.05%, 23/82) during the late phase of FFA. Macular abnormalities, such as the absence of foveal avascular zone and hypoperfusion, were observed in 28 eyes (34.15%, 28/82), of which the macular ectopia presented in 1 eye. The mean DB/DF ratio of all the 82 eyes on the temporal side was 4.63±0.29 and 3.77±0.23 in the nasal. The mean avascular area on the temporal retina was 1.74±1.00 DD. Compared with ROP in zone Ⅲ, increased branching of vessels and dye leakage were more common ( χ2=9.303, 10.774; P=0.002, 0.001), the extent of temporal retinal vascularization was smaller ( t=-2.285, P=0.026), and the avascular area of the retina was more significant ( t=5.491, P<0.001) in zone Ⅱ ROP. Conclusions:Even after completion of spontaneous regression in ROP, incomplete retinal vascularization and vascular abnormalities may exist permanently in FFA, including those such as the tortuous arteries in the posterior retina, increased branching and straight shape of vessels, circumferential vessels, capillary bed lost and macular abnormality. Further appropriate follow-up is needed for long-term safety.

Objective To evaluation the value of single and combined detection of peripheral blood human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA and tumor markers carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4), CA19-9 and CA125 in the diagnosis of gastric cancer. Methods A total of 48 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer from June 2017 to October 2018 in Baotou Tumor Hospital were enrolled in the study group. Fifty healthy subjects were selected as healthy control group. The peripheral venous blood samples were collected from all subjects. After the synthesis of hTERT cDNA by reverse transcription, real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used for the amplification of hTERT gene fragment. The tumor markers CEA, CA72-4, CA19-9 and CA125 were quantitatively detected by electrochemiluminescence instrument. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio and negative likelihood ratio of individual markers or joint detection were calculated. The sensitivity and specificity of joint testing items were compared. Results There were statistically significant differences in the positive rates of hTERT mRNA (P< 0.01), CEA (P=0.002), CA72-4 (P=0.003), and CA19-9 (P=0.017) between the gastric cancer group and the healthy control group, while the positive rates of CA125 were not significantly different between the two groups (P> 0.05). The expression of hTERT mRNA was correlated with TMN stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (all P< 0.05), but was not correlated with age, sex, tumor location, invasion degree and differentiation degree (all P>0.05). The results of diagnostic indices showed that the hTERT mRNA had high sensitivity (84.8%), specificity (82.7%), accuracy (83.7%), positive predictive value (81.2%) and positive likelihood ratio (4.90). CA72-4 also had high specificity (61.2%), accuracy (64.3%), and positive predictive value (45.8%), which were second only to the hTERT mRNA. The diagnostic performance of CA125 combined with CEA, CA72-4, CA19-9 and peripheral blood hTERT mRNA was not significantly different from the latter four combined detection (P>0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of traditional tumor markers CEA, CA72-4 and CA19-9 were 62.5%and 80.0%. The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of hTERT mRNA, CEA, CA72-4 and CA19-9 could be change to 90.0% and 67.5%. The difference in sensitivity between the two combined detection groups was statistically significant (P= 0.019), and the difference in specificity was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). Conclusion The comprehensive evaluation index of peripheral blood hTERT mRNA is better than the traditional gastric tumor markers, and it is expected to become a new marker for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.
