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: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.

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.
