Objective:To investigate the effect of irradiation on the expression of miR-150-5p and miR-23a-3p in human peripheral blood serum by collecting peripheral blood of tumor patients before and after radiotherapy, so as to provide scientific basis for finding radiation biomarkers.Methods:A total of 63 tumor patients treated with radiotherapy from October 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled in this study. The relative expression levels of miR-150-5p and miR-23a-3p in peripheral blood serum in these patients were detected using the real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qPCR) before and after radiotherapy. The differential changes in the expression levels of the two miRNAs in the peripheral blood serum of the patients before and after radiotherapy were compared, and their relationships with factors such as cancer types were analyzed.Results:The relative expression levels of miR-150-5p and miR-23a-3p in peripheral blood serum of the patients after radiotherapy were significantly lower than those before radiotherapy ( t = 4.97, Z = -2.77, P < 0.05). Among different cancer types, the relative expression level of miR-150-5p in the patients with breast cancer, esophageal cancer, or other digestive tract cancer decreased after radiotherapy ( t = 3.47, 2.47, 2.87, P < 0.05), and the relative expression level of miR-23a-3p in the patients with digestive tract cancer decreased after radiotherapy ( Z = -1.99, P < 0.05). The changes in the expression level of miR-150-5p before and after radiotherapy were not affected by gender, age, chemotherapy, and cancer type ( P > 0.05). By contrast, the changes in the expression level of miR-23a-3p before and after radiotherapy were significantly affected by gender, age, and chemotherapy ( t=2.04, -3.34, -2.29, P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of miR-150-5p in the serum of tumor patients may be affected by radiotherapy, which has the potential to be used as a biological indicator of radiation.

Objective:Based on the policy goals of family doctors′ contracted services, to build an indicator system as policy tools for policy outcomes assessment and policy delivery optimization.Methods:Through literature and policy review, an evaluation conceptual framework was built based on policy goals of family doctors′ contracted services, and an indicator system was established using Delphi method.Results:Upon consultation of 21 experts, an indicator system for policy effect assessment of the family doctors′ contracted services was established, covering both policy implementations and goal effects. This system consisted of 7 level-2 indicators and 23 level-3 indicators.Conclusions:The indicator system oriented to policy goals, ensures the pertinence of policy effect assessment to play a strong guidance on practical implementation of the family doctors′ contracted services.

Objective:To analyze the policy implementation of family doctors′ contracted services in different regions based on practices in typical regions.Methods:From April to October 2019, we conducted field investigations in 14 regions, collected data on policy formulation and implementation, organizational form and service content of contracting service, incentive mechanism and capacity development. By means of key persons′ interview, we tried to understand the background of district/county policy implementation, as well as policy delivery and existing difficulties. The measurement data were expressed by means, and the qualitative data were used to extract the key content through semantic analysis.Results:The policy of family doctors′ contracted services had been promoted from pilot exploration to normative development. 71.0% of responsible entities of the contracted services in research regions were family doctor teams. Contraction fee has begun to reflect the value of family doctors′ work, while the average contracted service fees in the eastern, central and western regions were 125, 31.25 and 42.5 yuan/person/year respectively. Comprehensive incentives and health insurance policies in some regions played a role in promoting contracted services.Conclusions:It is necessary to establish the family doctors′ " three roles" management concept, namely health gatekeeper, rights exchanger and resource coordinator; strengthen the professional training and capacity promoting of family doctors, implement the connotation of contracted service fees and economic incentives, in order to play the policy′s basic role in constructing a health-centered system.

To summarize the breeding and identification of Wuzhishan miniature pig models with α-l,3-galactosyltransferase (GGTA1) gene-knockout (GTKO).Methods The breeding and reproduction perform of GTKO Wuzhishan miniature pigs were assessed and the quantity of piglets was counted.The GTKO Wuzhishan miniature pig models with GGTA1gene knockout were validated by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The αGal phenotype of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in human,wild-type Wuzhishan miniature pigs and GTKO Wuzhishan miniature pigs was detected by fluorescent microscope and flow cytometry.Routine blood test parameters were statistically compared between the GTKO and wild-type Wuzhishan miniature pigs.Results The inheritance of GGTA1 genotype complied with Mendel's law.Flow cytometry detected no fluorescent expression of PBMC in GGTA1-/-pig models,which were consistent with the genotype identification results.The mean piglets of the primiparous GTKO Wuzhishan miniature pigs were (6.8±1.8) and (8.3±2.2) for the multiparous Wuzhishan miniature pigs.No statistical significance was noted in routine blood test parameters between the GTKO and wild-type Wuzhishan miniature pigs (all P＞0.05).Conclusions Stable inheritance and normal reproductive capacity are observed in two generations of Wuzhishan miniature pigs continuously.GTKO Wuzhishan miniature pig is a reliable donor for heterogeneous organ transplantation.

Aims To study the role of NGF/Trk A sig-naling pathway in Memantine ( MEM) improving APP/PS1 transgenic mice cognitive deficits and to explore its possible mechanisms. Methods Cognitive perform-ance was assessed by Morris water maze( MWM) , pas-sive avoidance test( PAT) and locomotivity test. Aβ1-42 protein levels were determined by immunohistochemis-try. The activities of AChE and ChAT were also exam-ined by ELISA and colorimetry. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of NGF and its receptor TrkA and the downstream ERK pathway. Results MEM treatment significantly ameliorated the cognitive deficits, dramatically reduced the Aβ1-42 overexpres-sion. MEM increased the activity of choline acetyl-transferase( ChAT) , while decreased that of acetylcho-line esterase( AChE) . Moreover, MEM activiated NGF signaling by increasing the phosphorylation of TrkA fol-lowing the increased phosphorylation of c-Raf, ERK1/2 and downstream effector CREB after MEM treatment. Conclusion MEM treatment may activate the NGF/TrkA signaling in APP/PS1 mice to reduce amyloidosis and cognitive deficits.

Objective To investigate the community residents′ perceptions of community health policy and the learning ways, and further analyze the main influencing factors, so as to effectively promote for the community health policy. Methods Using multiple stage, a total of 542 community residents were investigated by questionnaire including general information, cognitive status of health policy and ways of cognition, and the Cronbach′s αcoefficient and rates coefficient were 0. 82 and 0. 91. Results The average age of 542 community residents was (46. 0 ± 15. 4) years, and 25. 8% (140/542) and 70. 5% (382/542) community residents did not understand health policy completely or understood part of health policy. The cognitive ways of community residents acquired the health policy including TV/internet 60. 0%, news paper/magazine 31. 5%, wall poster 24. 9%, and others 20. 3%. The education background, occupation and so on influencing factors affected the cognitive status of health policy among community residents. Compared with female, male preferred to acquired health policy for wall poster;residents, who came from countryside and was beyond 60 years old, would like to obtain it from community health workers and other ways. Conclusions The cognitive status of health policy requires improving among community residents. We should promote the cognition of health policy in community residents according to the influencing factors and learning ways of health policy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between platelet parameters and delayed graft function (DGF) early after kidney transplantation.

METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 232 recipients within 2 months following kidney transplantation performed between January, 2009 and September, 2013, among whom 29 experienced DGF. The laboratory data of the preoperative and postoperative platelets were collected from all the recipients.

RESULTSCompared with the preoperative levels, the platelet number (PLT) and platelet hematocrit (PCT) were decreased on day 1 after kidney transplantation and was the lowest on day 5 (P<0.05), followed by gradual increase till reaching the highest levels on day 15 (P<0.05) and recovery of the preoperative level in days 30-60. The average platelet volume (MPV), platelet volume distribution width (PDW) and large platelet ratio (P-LCR) were increased on day 1, highest on day 7 (P<0.05), and reduced to the preoperative level on day 15, but then rose again slowly. MPV and P-LCR in days 30 to 60 and PDW in days 45 to 60 were significantly higher than the preoperative levels (P<0.05). The patients with DGF showed lowered PLT than those without DGF since day 2, and this difference was statistically significant in days 7 to 10, while PCT remained comparable between the two groups; MPV, PDW, and P-LCR were higher in DGF group than in DGF-free group with statistically significant difference on days 7, 10, and 15 (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONPlatelet function is associated with postoperative renal graft function recovery, and platelet parameters can provide new markers for monitoring the occurrence and reversion of DGF.
