Dracaena marginata is a widely cultivated horticultural plant in the world, which has high ornamental and medicinal value. In this study, the whole genome of leaves from D. marginata was sequenced by Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform. The chloroplast genome were assembled for functional annotation, sequence characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. The results showed that the chloroplast genome of D. marginata composed of four regions with a size of 154 926 bp, which was the smallest chloroplast genome reported for Dracaena species to date. A total of 132 genes were identified, including 86 coding genes, 38 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. Codon bias analysis found that the codon usage bias was weak and there was a bias for using A/U base endings. 46 simple sequence repeat and 54 repeats loci were detected in the chloroplast genome, with the maximum detection rate in the large single copy region and inverted repeat region, respectively. The inverted repeats boundaries of D. marginata and Dracaena were highly conserved, whereas gene location differences occurred. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that D. serrulata and D. cinnabari form a monophyletic clade, which was the closest relationship and conformed to the morphological classification characteristics. The analysis of the chloroplast genome of D. marginata provides important data basis for species identification, genetic diversity and chloroplast genome engineering of Dracaena.

Objective:To investigate the current situation of critical thinking ability of nurses in Catheterization Room in China, and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving the critical thinking ability of nurses in Catheterization Room.Methods:In July 2020, the catheterization nurses from 154 hospitals, including Class Ⅲ Grade A, Class Ⅲ Grade B and Class Ⅱ Grade A, in 28 provincial capital cities of China were investigated with general information questionnaire and Chinese Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CTDI-CV) , by convenience sampling method. 422 questionnaires were collected in this survey, 408 were valid, and the effective rate was 96.68%.Results:The total score of critical thinking ability of the 408 catheterization nurses was (247.92±33.77) , which was at a low level as a whole. There were 361 nurses (88.48%) without positive critical thinking, 42 (10.29%) with positive critical thinking, and 5 (1.23%) with strong positive critical thinking. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that nurse level, education background, professional title and position were the main influencing factors of critical thinking ability of nurses in Catheterization Room ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The critical thinking attitude of nurses in Catheterization Room is generally negative, which is far from positive, and needs to be further improved. The nursing department should give more tendentious policies and support to the nurses in the Catheterization Room. At the same time, the nursing managers in the Catheterization Room should actively take measures to improve the critical thinking ability of nurses.

The low expression rate of exogenous genes in cyanobacteria is one of the bottlenecks of cyanobacteria genetic engineering. The T7 RNA polymerase expression system has achieved the efficient expression of exogenous genes in Escherichia coli. Cyanobacteria and E. coli are both Gram-negative bacteria with high genetic homology. The construction of T7 RNA polymerase expression system in cyanobacteria may improve the expression of foreign genes. In order to construct the T7 RNA polymerase expression system in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, methods such as overlapping extension PCR and digestion-ligation technique were used to construct a site-specific integration vector pEASY-T1-F1-TacT7RNAPCmR-F2 and a shuttle expression vector pRL-T7-hG-CSF. The site-specific integration vector is capable of expressing T7 RNA polymerase, and the shuttle expression vector expresses hG-CSF driven by the T7 promoter. Then we introduced the site-specific integration vector into the wild type cyanobacteria by electroporation and transferred the shuttle expression vector into the site-integrated transgenic cyanobacteria by triparental conjugative transfer. In the end, we identified the presence of foreign genes in cyanobacteria by PCR, tested the transcription level of foreign genes in cyanobacteria by RT-PCR, and detected the protein expression of foreign genes in cyanobacteria by Western blotting. The two vectors were successfully constructed, the T7 RNA polymerase gene and hG-CSF gene were transferred into cyanobacteria well, and both genes were also expressed in cyanobacteria. In summary, the T7 RNA polymerase expression system was successfully constructed in cyanobacteria, and the expression rate of hG-CSF gene was doubled than the traditional cyanobacteria expression systems. This expression system will provide a better tool for the application of cyanobacteria genetic engineering and will promote the development of cyanobacteria as a chassis cell in the fields of synthetic biology in the future.

Objective To study the in vitro killing effect of novel small molecule inhibitors, ribosomal S6 kinase1 (RSK1) inhibitor (BI-D1870) and polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) inhibitor (BI2536), combined with recombinant attenuated vesicular stomatitis virus VSVΔM51 on various glioma cells. Methods (1) In vitro cultured GL261, CT2A and HS68 cells were divided into control group, rapamycin group, BI-D1870 group, BI-2536 group, VSVΔM51 group, rapamycin +VSVΔM51 group, BI-D1870+VSVΔM51 group, and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group; pretreatments with 100 nmol/L rapamycin, 10 μmol/L BI-D1870, and 100 nmol/L BI-2536 for 2 h were given to the cells from the above groups, respectively, and then, they were infected with VSVΔM51 virus at 0.1 mutiplicity of infection (MOI); at 72 h after treatments, the cell survival rate was determined by Alarma Blue method; VSV△M51 virus was infected at 10 MOI one h after pretreatment with the above drugs, apoptosis of GL261 cells was detected by cleaved caspase-3 staining 24 h after that; the expression of apoptotic protein polyadp-ribosomal polymerase (PARP) was detected by Western blotting; Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide double staining was used to detect the cell apoptosis. (2) GL261 and CT2A cells were divided into VSVΔM51 group, rapamycin+VSVΔM51 group, BI-D1870+VSVΔM51 group, and BI2536+ VSVΔM51 group; VSV△M51 virus was infected at 0.1 MOI one h after pretreatment with the above drugs,; 48 h after treatments, fluorescence microscope was used to detect the expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP); IVIS200 in vivo imaging system was used to detect the changes of cell virus luciferase in the 4 groups. (3) Fifteen CT2A intracranial implanted glioma model mice were divided into VSVΔM51 group, BID-1870+VSVΔM51 group and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group according to random number table method (n=5); mice in the latter two groups were intraperitoneally injected with BI-1870 (100 mg/kg) or intravenously injected with BI-2536 (20 mg/kg); 24 h after that, mice in the three groups were intravenously injected with virus VSVΔM51; virus luciferase was detected by IVIS200 in vivo imaging system 24 and 72 h after treatments; the grouping and treatments of GL261 intracranial glioma model mice were the same as above, the expression of virus GFP was observed under fluorescence microscope 48 h after treatments, and virus titers of these mice were detected by virus plaque assay. Results (1) As compared with the control group, rapamycin group, BI-D1870 group, BI-2536 group, and VSVΔM51 group, the rapamycin+VSVΔM51 group, BI-D1870+VSVΔM51 group, and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group had significantly lower cell survival rate (P<0. 05); cleaved Caspase-3 staining showed no cell apoptosis in the control group, a small amount of apoptotic corpuscles in the rapamycin group, BI-D1870 group, BI-2536 group, and VSVΔM51 group, but obvious increased amount of apoptotic corpuscles in the rapamycin+VSVΔM51 group, BI-D1870+VSVΔM51 group, and BI2536+ VSVΔM51 group; Western blotting indicated that GL261 and CT2A cells from the control group, rapamycin group, BI-D1870 group, BI-2536 group, and VSVΔM51 group had lower cleaved PARP expression level than those from the rapamycin+VSVΔM51 group, BI-D1870+VSVΔM51 group, and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group. The results of Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide double staining were consistent with those of cleaved Caspase-3 staining. (2) As compared with VSVΔM51 group and rapamycin+VSVΔM51 group, BI-D1870+VSVΔM51 group and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group had significantly increased GFP expression and statistically higher intensity of virus luciferase (P<0.05). (3) CT2A cells in the VSVΔM51 group, BID-1870+VSVΔM51 group and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group had increased intensity of virus luciferase successively, with significant differences (P<0.05); GL261 cells in the VSVΔM51 group, BID-1870+VSVΔM51 group and BI2536+VSVΔM51 group had increased virus titers successively, with significant differences (P<0.05). Conclusion Both small molecule inhibitors promote the replication of VSVΔM51 virus and enhance the killing effect on glioma cells, and its synergistic effect is obviously better than rapamycin.

Objective To explore the effects of dietary intervention before selective coronary intervention on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to provide reference and basis for building a feasible and practical preoperative dietary management system. Methods Totally 300 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who received coronary intervention in the Cardiac Catheterization Room of Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 2016 to December 2017 were selected by convenient sampling and divided into the control group (n=150) and the observation group (n=150) according to the random number table. Patients in the control group were fasted for solids and liquids for 4 hours before coronary intervention, while patients in the observation group received foods and drinks for diabetic patients rather than being fasted for solids and liquids as well as individualized dietary guidance from dieticians, specialized diabetes nurses and intervention nurses jointly. The incidence rate of perioperative hypoglycemia. hunger, thirst, anxiety score before and after the intervention, comfort of dietary management were evaluated between the two groups. Results The control group scored higher in hunger, thirst and anxiety than the observation group (P<0.05);the comfort of dietary management was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P< 0.05);the incidence rate of perioperative asymptomatic hypoglycemia in the observation group was 2.0%, while that in the control group was 20.6%;the incidence rate of perioperative symptomatic hypoglycemia in the observation group was 0, while that in the control group was 1.3%. Conclusions Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus should not be fasted for solids and liquids as conventionally did before selective coronary intervention. Rather, a scientific preoperative dietary management model can prevent the incidence of perioperative hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, enhancing the comfort and safety of operation during the perioperative period.
