In addition , the proportion of CD71 /CD235a double⁃positive cells also increased in HCAR2⁃overexpressed K562 cells . Conclusion HCAR2 mediates hypoxia in promoting the erythroid differentiation of K562 cells .

It has become a consensus that there is a correlation between psoriasis and obesity, but the exact mechanism is not yet clear. Studies demonstrate that common inflammatory pathways and insulin resistance may contribute to the association between psoriasis and obesity. Understanding the impact of obesity on the occurrence and treatment of psoriasis will be beneficial to the treatment of psoriasis.

Objective:To investigate the expression of solute carrier family 35 member E1 (SLC35E1) and SLC35E2B in skin lesions of patients with Mycobacterium infections. Methods:Paraffin-embedded skin tissues of 31 patients confirmedly diagnosed with Mycobacterium infections were collected from Dermatology Hospital of Southern Medical University from 2014 to 2018, including 10 cases of multibacillary leprosy, 9 of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, 7 of cutaneous tuberculosis, and 5 of erythema induratum. Meanwhile, paraffin-embedded skin tissues of 10 healthy individuals were collected, and served as normal control group. Immunohistochemical staining was performed to determine the expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B in the lesional and normal control skin specimens, and immunofluorescence staining to observe the co-expression of CD68 and S100 with SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B in the skin lesions. Results:Neither SLC35E1 nor SLC35E2B was expressed in the normal control group, but high expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B was observed in the dermis of skin lesions from the patients with leprosy, nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, cutaneous tuberculosis or erythema induratum. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B (expressed as average optical density) was significantly higher in the multibacillary leprosy group (0.143 ± 0.010, 0.169 ± 0.004, respectively) , nontuberculous mycobacterial infection group (0.278 ± 0.015, 0.229 ± 0.088, respectively) , cutaneous tuberculosis group (0.171 ± 0.010, 0.103 ± 0.016, respectively) and erythema induratum group (0.200 ± 0.015, 0.118 ± 0.021, respectively) than in the normal control group (both 0, all P < 0.05) . Immunofluorescence staining showed co-expression of SLC35E1 and SLC35E2B with CD68 in skin lesions of the patients with leprosy, nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, cutaneous tuberculosis. Conclusion:Both SLC35E1 and SLCE2B were markedly highly expressed in skin lesions of patients with Mycobacterium infections.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Guilu Erxian Jiao (GEJ) on the negative feedback function of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and its possible mechanism in rats with post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD).Methods:The PTSD rat model was established using single prolonged stress (SPS). Ninety six SD rats were randomly divided into control group (control), model group (SPS), GEJ group (GEJ) and paroxetine group (PRX) according to the random number table with 24 rats in each group. Except the control group, the rats in the other groups were constructed using the PTSD model. On the 8th day after the establishment of the model, the rats of the GEJ group (3.6 g/kg) and the PRX group (10 mg/kg) were respectively given the drug by gavage for 21 days. The rats in control group and SPS group were given the same amount of distilled water once a day for 21 days. After continuous administration for 21 days, 12 rats were randomly selected from each group for the dexamethasone suppression test (DST), then 6 rats were selected for the RT-PCR, and the remaining 6 rats were used for immunohistochemistry. The contents of plasma adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) were measured by Elisa. The expression levels of glucocorticoid receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), adrenocorticotropic hormone releasing factor Ⅰ receptor (CRF1R) and adrenocorticotropic hormone releasing factor Ⅱ receptor (CRF2R) were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.Results:(1) In DST, plasma ACTH level in SPS group was significantly lower than that in control group((145.89±19.41)μg/L, (203.59±35.78)μg/L, t=3.16, P<0.01), and that in the PRX group and GEJ group were significantly higher than that in SPS group((218.47±37.55)μg/L, t=3.98, P<0.01; (205.33±66.54)μg/L, t=3.26, P<0.01). (2) RT-PCR results showed that, in hippocampus, the GR mRNA and MR mRNA expressions in SPS group were significantly higher than those in control group((1.29±0.02), (1.00±0.06), t=6.88, P<0.01; (1.38±0.02), (1.00±0.05), t=7.97, P<0.01), and that in the GEJ group significantly decreased comparing to SPS group((0.96±0.07), t=7.87, P<0.01; (0.86±0.13), t=11.03, P<0.01). (3) Immunohistochemical results showed that, in hippocampus, the positive cell expressions of GR and MR in the SPS group were significantly higher than those in control group((84.33±12.82), (69.33±8.19), t=2.50, P<0.05; (77.33±6.65), (56.33±11.79), t=2.25, P<0.05), and that in the GEJ group significantly were lower than SPS group((68.33±4.55), t=2.67, P<0.05; (59.50±4.18), t=2.25, P<0.05). In amygdala, the positive cells expression of GR, MR and CRF1R in the SPS group significantly decreased compared with the control group((62.67±6.89), (77.17±10.70), t=3.10, P<0.05; (60.50±11.66), (91.83±15.63), t=3.43, P<0.05; (54.50±19.96), (88.17±22.43), t=2.31, P<0.05); and that in GEJ group significantly increased compared with the SPS group((74.33±5.85), t=2.11, P<0.05; (83.67±12.55), t=2.53, P<0.05; (88.67±16.28), t=2.35, P<0.05). Conclusion:GEJ can inhibit the enhanced HPA axis negative feedback function induced by SPS, which may be related to regulating expression of GR, MR and CRF1R in the hippocampus and amygdala.

The causes of panniculitis are various and complex, and infection is one of the important causes. Streptococcal infection is the most common cause in Europe and the United States with a low incidence of tuberculosis. In areas with a high incidence of tuberculosis such as China, Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection is an important cause of panniculitis, which commonly manifests as erythema induratum of Bazin and erythema nodosum. Erythema induratum of Bazinis is most closely related to tuberculosis, often clinically manifests as nodules, plaques and ulcers on the flexor aspect of the lower extremities, and pathologically manifests as lobular panniculitis. Erythema nodosum can be considered as an early symptom of tuberculosis, and serves as a predictive indicator of tuberculosis. It often manifests as erythema, nodules and few ulcers on the extensor aspect of both lower limbs, and is pathologically characterized by septal panniculitis. Antituberculosis treatment often yields favorable outcomes in patients with erythema induratum of Bazin or erythema nodosum. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and panniculitis is of great significance to the treatment and prognosis of panniculitis, especially in areas with a high incidence of tuberculosis.

Objective To understand psychiatry hospital nurse' s self-compassion situation, explore the influencing factors, for nursing managers to know about the clinical nurses psychological health and to provide a reference data of intervention to improve the level of self-compassion. Methods A total of 381 clinical nurses from the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (Guangzhou Huiai Hospital) completed the survey using the questionnaire including the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and general information questionnaire. The influence factors were analyzed by chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis. Results The total score of SCS was (85.43 ± 10.23) points in 381 clinical nurses with the medium level, which was less than that of other nurse group (109.21±9.76) points, and there was significant difference(t=-45.388, P < 0.01).The Logistic regression analysis showed that female and working in the psychiatric ward were the risk factors of self compassion(OR=1.772, 1.995, P<0.05 or 0.01). While on the night shift was the protective factor(OR=0.536, P < 0.01). Conclusions Psychiatric hospital nurse' s self-compassion is at medium level. When the nurses cope with the negative events may lack adjustment method. Nursing managers should pay attention to train the ability of the nurse individual self-compassion, targeted to carry out active intervention measures.

BACKGROUND:Experimental studies have showed that puerarin has an obvious protective effect on osteoporosis in ovariectomized and orchiectomized mice. But the influence of puerarin in the molecular level in the process of osteoblast differentiation is seldom reported.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of puerarin on the mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and osteocalcin in osteoblasts.
METHODS:The MC3T3-E1 cells from mice cultured in vitro were randomly divided into control group, puerarin group (10-6 mol/L puerarin) and estradiol group (10-7 mol/L estradiol) to observe the effects of puerarin on the differentiation of osteoblasts. mRNA expression of alkaline phosphatase, bone sialoprotein, osteopontin and osteocalcin in MC3T3-E1 cells was determined using RT-PCR method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Puerarin and estradiol both could prolong the expression of alkaline phosphatase that reached the peak at 12 days. Puerarin and estradiol strengthened the mRNA expression of bone sialoprotein at 10 and 12 days, reduced expression of osteopontin at 5 and 12 days, and increased expression of osteocalcin at 10 and 12 days. These results reveal that puerarin can induce the differentiation of cultured osteoblasts by influencing osteoblast differentiation-related protein mRNA expressions, which may be one of the important molecular mechanisms of puerarin for prevention of osteoporosis.
