Objective To screen differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the liver of mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum during the chronic pathogenic stage and identify their functions, so as to provide insights into unravelling the role of lncRNAs in S. japonicum infection-induced liver disorders. Methods Twenty 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into two groups, of 10 animals each group. Each mouse in the experimental group was infected with (15 ± 2) S. japonicum cercariae via the abdomen for modeling chronic S. japonicum infection in mice, and distilled water served as controls. All mice were sacrificed 70 days post-infection, and mouse liver specimens were sampled for RNA extraction and library construction. All libraries were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing platform. Data cleaning was performed using the fastp software, and reference genome alignment and gene expression (FPKM) calculation were performed using the HISAT2 software. Potential lncRNA sequences were predicted using the software CNIC, CPC, Pfam, and PLEK, and potential lncRNAs were screened. Differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened with the DESeq2 software and subjected to Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses to identify biological processes and metabolic pathways involved in target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs. Results A total of 333 potential lncRNAs were screened, and 67 were identified as differentially expressed lncRNAs, including 49 up-regulated and 18 down-regulated lncRNAs. A total of 53 target genes were predicted for differentially expressed lncRNAs. GO enrichment analysis showed that these target genes were mainly enriched in biological process and molecular function, among which Sema7a, Arrb1, and Ccl21b genes may be hub target genes for positive regulation of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1 (ERK1) and ERK2 cascades and may participate in the regulation of collagen expression. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs were mainly enriched in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, viral protein interactions with cytokines and cytokine receptors, chemokine signaling pathway, and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway. Conclusions This study identifies differentially expressed lncRNAs and functional enrichment of their target genes in the liver of mice during the chronic pathogenic stage of S. japonicum infection. Up-regulated lncRNAs may affect biological processes of ERK1/2 cascades and chemokine signaling pathways via target genes Sema7a, Arrb1, and Ccl21b, thereby affecting collagen expression and inflammatory signal pathways, ultimately affecting the development of liver disorders.

Leishmaniasis is a prevalent cause of death and animal morbidity in underdeveloped countries of endemic area. However, there is few vaccine and effective drugs. Antimicrobial peptides are involved in the innate immune response in many organisms and are being developed as novel drugs against parasitic infections. In the present study, we synthesized a 5-amino acid peptide REDLK, which mutated the C-terminus of Pseudomonas exotoxin, to identify its effect on the Leishmania tarentolae. Promastigotes were incubated with different concentration of REDLK peptide, and the viability of parasite was assessed using MTT and Trypan blue dye. Morphologic damage of Leishmania was analyzed by light and electron microscopy. Cellular apoptosis was observed using the annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection kit, mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit and flow cytometry. Our results showed that Leishmania tarentolae was susceptible to REDLK in a dose-dependent manner, disrupt the surface membrane integrity and caused parasite apoptosis. In our study, we demonstrated the leishmanicidal activity of an antimicrobial peptide REDLK from Pseudomonas aeruginosa against Leishmania tarentolae in vitro and present a foundation for further research of anti-leishmanial drugs.

Objective To investigate the level and influencing factors of quality of life in patients with osteoradionecrosis of the jaws (ORNJ) in order to provide theory basis for nursing intervention. Methods Ninety-five patients hospitalized from January 2015 to Febury 2017 and participated in the investigation by a convenient sampling method. The functional assessment of cancer therapy-head and neck (FACT-H&N), social support rating scale (SSRS) and general information questionnaire were used to assess the quality of life, social support and basic information in ORNJ patients in our hospital respectively. Results The score of quality of life was (79.99 ±15.72). The index value of common module of quality of life was higher than that of additional concern. The average scores of each dimension of common module from low to high were as follows: functional well-being, social/family well-being, physical well-being and emotional well-being. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of quality of life were social support, severe mouth opening difficulty (grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ), the course of primary disease (3 ~5 years, 5 ~10 years), which explained 35.6%variation in the quality of life. Conclusions The quality of life of ORNJ patients is generally lower than that of other head and neck cancer patients. The social support, severe mouth opening difficulty and course of primary disease can affect the patients' quality of life.The smaller the mouth opening (≤1 cm), the longer the course of primary disease (3~5 years) and the worse the quality of life is. Thus, nursing staff should pay attention to the quality of life of ORNJ patients and give prospective nursing intervention to improve the quality of life according to the characteristics of the development of the disease.

Objective To analyze the basic clinical characteristics,auxiliary diagnostic indexes,bacterial infection spectrum and drug resistance of child urinary tract infection to provide the basis for the prevention,diagnosis and treatment of child UTI.Methods The clinical data in the inpatients with UTI or complicating UTI in our hospital from January 2012 to March 2014 were collected. The repeated strains were excluded.The differences in the pathogens between the patients with complicated UTI and the patients with non-complicated UTI were comprehensively analyzed.Results The onset peak of child UTI for the first time was 0 -0.5 years old.Escherichia coli ,Klebsiella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the major pathogens of child UTI,in which 110 strains were Escherichia coli,accounting for 52.9%.The enterobacteriaceae pathogens of UTI had higher sensitivity to carbapenems antibacterial drugs,with the resistance rate of less than 10%;the resistance rate of others detected antibacterial drugs was more than 20%.Con-clusion UTI in the children inpatients of this area has higher drug resistance rate,in the treatment of child UTI,the antibacterial drugs should be rationally used by combining the bacterial drug resistance situation in the local place and the disease severity in or-der to avoid the aggravation of bacterial drug resistance.
