Nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cancer are the most common malignant tumors in clinical practice. As the most common treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cancer, radiotherapy will inevitably cause damage to normal structures such as dental hard tissues and affect the composition of oral microbiota, although it exerts high inhibitory effect against tumor cells. To provide theoretical basis for preventing or reducing the side effects of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cancer after radiotherapy and improving the quality of life in patients, related research progress on the effect of radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and head and neck cancer on dental hard tissues and oral microbiota was reviewed.

Objective To evaluate preventive effect of polysaccharides from Lycium ruthenicum Murray against photodamage in HaCaT cells,and to explore its possible mechanism.Methods Ultrasoundassisted extraction was used to extract polysaccharides from Lycium ruthenicum Murray in Qaidam Basin.In vitro cultured HaCaT cells were randomly divided into 3 groups:control group receiving no treatment,ultraviolet B (UVB) group irradiated with 30 nJ/cm2 UVB alone for 1 hour,experimental group pretreated with 2 g/L Lyeium ruthenicum polysaccharide solution followed 6 hours later by 30 mJ/cm2 UVB radiation for 1 hour.At twelve hours after UVB radiation,an inverted microscope was used to observe cell morphology.Then,MTS assay was performed to estimate cell proliferation,flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis,an enzyme-labeled antigen method to detect levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),as well as to evaluate the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT),and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure levels of intedeukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) in HaCaT cells and their culture supernatant.Results Compared with the control group,the UVB group showed obscure cell morphology,cell death and floating phenomenon,while cells became swollen but renained morphologically distinct in the experimental group.MTS assay revealed that the cell proliferative activity significantly differed among the above 3 groups (F =48.88,P ＜ 0.01),and the cell proliferative activity was significantly lower in the UVB group (1.72 ± 0.12) than in the control group (2.34 ± 0.11,P ＜ 0.05) and experimental group (2.11 ± 0.10,P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,the apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the UVB group (82.41％ ± 2.49％) than in the control group (3.98％ ± 0.19％,P ＜ 0.05) and experimental group (22.79％ ± 0.97％,P ＜ 0.05),as well as higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group,the UVB group showed significantly higher levels of MDA,supernatant levels of IL-1 and TNF-α,and intracellular levels of TNF-α,but significantly lower GSH-Px levels and activity of SOl and CAT (all P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no signifi-cant difference in the intracellular level of TNF-α between the UVB group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Lycium ruthenicum polysaccharide has protective effects against photodamage in HaCaT cells,likely by reducing the synthesis and secretion of inflammatory substances as well as free radicals.

Objective To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) of blood glucose monitoring and management among non-diabetes specialized nurses in a tertiary hospital of Xiamen,and provide basis for the late intervention.Methods With convenient sampling method,409 non-diabetes specialized nurses from a tertiary hospital of Xiamen were selected as the research object,and they were investigated by self-designed blood sugar monitoring and nursing KAP questionnaire.Results The score of knowledge related to blood sugar monitoring management was (6.52±1.39);the score of attitude related to blood sugar monitoring management was (45.94±4.18);the score of practice related to blood sugar monitoring management was (56.16±6.37);the attitude related to blood glucose monitoring management of non-diabetes specialized nurses was positively correlated with their practice (r=0.119,P=0.016);and nurses' practice was also positively correlated with their knowledge (r=0.190,P=0.027). Among 409 nurses,the percentage of nurses' self-rating mastery degree,general mastery degree,less familiar and unfamiliar in blood sugar management knowledge were 54.8%,37.9%,4.4 and 0.5% %,and only 2.4% of nurses thought they completely master the knowledge. 85.5% of nurses had received training,training organized by nursing department and training in department which includes diabetes link nurses were dominant,and they were 64.1% and 31.5%. The training method was single (72.6%). Theoretical teaching in hospital was still the most popular way,and it accounted for 78.5%. By multiple linear regression analysis,service year was the influencing factors of blood sugar monitoring management. ConclusionsThe knowledge that non-diabetes specialist nurses master is not optimistic,and the level of KAP in blood sugar monitoring still needs to be improved,while full standardization and diversity training are effective methods.

The aim of this study was to construct the eukaryotic expression vector of pCMV-Myc-NOVA1 based on NOVA1 gene, and to screen the optimum expression condition after transfecting to PC12 cells, and further to explore the distribution of NOVA1 protein in PC12 cells using cell immunohistochemistry, and to identifyits anti-hypoxia activity. According to the NOVA1 gene sequence of NCBI database, we designed the upstream and downstream primers, and performed polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify the full length cDNA coding sequence using pCR4-TOPO-NOVA1 as a template. The products were digested by restriction endonuclease SalⅠand XhoⅠ, and conjugated to the eukaryotic expression vector ofpCMV-Myc followed by validating by digestion and direct sequencing. Subsequently, the validated pCMV-Myc-NOVA1 was transfected to PC12 cells followed by optimizing of transfection ratio and transfection time, and identified by qPCR, Western blotting and cell immunohistochemistry respectively. After validation by digestion and direct sequencing, the eukaryotic expression vector of pCMV-Myc-NOVA1 was correctly constructed. The optimum transfection ratio of plasmid to Lipo 2000 was 1:2.5, and the optimum transfection time was 72 h. At the optimum transfection condition, the expression level of NOVA1 mRNA and protein significantly increased, and after transfection of pCMV-Myc-NOVA1, NOVA1 protein mainly distributed in cell nucleus and cytoplasm. After 6 h hypoxia, the cell proliferation activity was significantly increased compared to that of the control and pCMV-Myc group. Our findings provided a reference for exploring the mechanism of NOVA1, and also a technical support for potential drug development of NOVA1.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between long-, short-term systolic blood pressure variability (SBPV) and renal damage in elder population. Methods: Our research was conducted in the 3rd physical examination of healthy population from Kailuan group by cohort study. Cluster sampling was used by 25% ratio in subjects≥60 years of age to monitor their 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure and finally, 2464/3064 participants with inclusion criteria were recruited. SBPV indexes as standard deviation of systolic blood pressure (SSD), variability independent of the mean (VIM), maximum-minimum difference (MMD) and average real variability (ARV) were examined; renal damage indexes as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and microalbuminuria (ALBU) were detected. Relationships between different long-term, short-term SBPV indexes and eGFR, ALBU were studied by multi-liner regression analysis. Results:①The mean age of 2464 participants was (67.41 ± 6.05) years including 1667 (67.7%) male and 797 (32.3%) female.②Multi-liner regression analysis indicated that different long-term SBPV indexes were not related to eGFR and ALBU; 24h SBPV in all 4 indexes and day-time SSD, MMD, ARV were negatively related to eGFR; 24h ARV and day-time MMD, ARV were positively related to ALBU; night-time SBPV indexes were not related to eGFR and ALBU.Conclusion: Different short-term SBPV indexes were, at certain point related to eGFR and ALBU

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of autophagy inhibitor 3-Methyladenine (3-MA) against lipopolysac-charide(LPS)-induced acute lung injury in mice and its mechanism. METHODS:Mice were randomly divided into normal control group,model group (LPS 15 mg/kg),drug control group (3-MA 20 mg/kg),low-dose and high-dose groups (LPS 15 mg/kg+3-MA 20,40 mg/kg),with 10 mice in each group. Except for normal control group and drug control group,other groups were giv-en LPS intraperitoneally to induce acute lung injury model,and drug control group and low-dose and high-dose groups were given equivalent dose of 3-MA intraperitoneally 1 h before modeling. 6 h after modeling,lung wet/drug mass ratio (W/D) was deter-mined respectively,and pathology change of lung tissue was observed by HE staining. TNF-α,NF-κB p65,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expression were detected by Western blot. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,W/D, TNF-α,NF-κB p65,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein expression increased in model group (P<0.01). Compared with model group,W/D,the expression of TNF-α,NF-κB p65,LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ and Cleaved-caspase-3 protein decreased in low-dose group (P<0.05),white just only LC3BⅡ/Ⅰ protein decreased high-dose group(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:In LPS-induced acute lung injury model in mice,the excessive autophagy could activate the NF-κB pathway and involve the inflammatory responses and induce lung cells apoptosis. The moderate autophagy inhibition by 3-MA can ameliorate inflammatory response and protect lung tissue.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the 24?hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) and carotid intima?media thickness(CIMT) in the elderly. Methods A total of 2 464 who were more than or equal to 60 years old participants were selected with random sampling in accordance with the inclusion criteria from the retired workers in Tangshan Kailuan Company. Dynamic blood pressure monitoring, neck vascular ultrasound and other examination were performed for the participants. . Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to analyze correlation between the SBP of 24?hour, daytime and nightime with CIMT, respectively. Results ( 1) The observation population was divided into three groups according to the tertiles of SBP of 24?hour, daytime and nightime, respectively. With the levels of different SBPs inceasing, CIMT values thickened markedly ( P<0. 01 ) . ( 2 ) Multivariable linear regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounding factors,the SBP of 24?hour,daytime and nightime associated with CIMT positively and linearly(P<0. 05),and regression coefficient(95%CI) were 0. 022(0. 009-0. 035), 0. 021(0. 008-0. 035), 0. 019 ( 0. 006-0. 032) respectively. In addition,clinic SBP step into the multivariable linear regression,and regression coefficient ( 95%CI ) were 0. 016 ( 0. 003-0. 029 ) , 0. 016 ( 0. 003-0. 030 ) , 0. 019 ( 0. 007-0. 032 ) , respectively. Conclusion The effect of increased 24?hour ambulatory SBP on CIMT was greater than the clinic SBP. Active monitoring of 24 h ambulatory blood pressure and maintaining a low level of blood pressure is essential for preventing and delaying atherosclerosis.
