Innovative and practical platform safety management is the foundation of the innovation and entrepreneurship for undergraduate students in universities and colleges, which plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of the university and society, and ensuring the safety of teachers and students. In this present paper, the complex situation and problems of innovative and practical platform safety management, such as the imperfect regulations, weak atmosphere, incomplete facilities, unprofessional management, etc., are discussed under the background of "innovation and entrepreneurship" in China. With the combination of the above problems and the actual situation of Chengdu Medical College, the constructions of the regulations, such as access regulation, certification regulation, check regulation, rewards and punishment regulation, responsibility regulation, and a series of standard operating procedures (SOP) have also been carried out. Furthermore, adequate safety education and proper safety drills have been performed during the whole process of safety management. In addition, a diverse and professional management team with putting more emphasis on the development of safety facilities has been formed. In conclusions, the practice and exploration on the safety management of undergraduate students' innovative and practical platform in this paper may provide a theoretical basis and practical value to optimize the safety management in local universities and colleges under the background of "innovation and entrepreneurship" in China.

Objective: To recombine the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) derived from the urine of septic encephalopathy (SE) patients, and provided a specificity cell model to explore the mechanism of the neuronal damage and treatment for SE patients. Methods: Urine of SE patient was collected, and tubular epithelial cells were isolated and cultured from the urine. iPSC were derived from SE patient by introducing 4 transcription factors OCT4, Klf4, Sox2, c-Myc (OKSM) into patient-specific urine cells by Millipore's Human STEMCCA^TM Constitutive Polycistronic (OKSM) Lentivirus Kit. Colony morphology, alkaline phosphatase (AKP) activity, immunofluorescence staining, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and differentiation ability were used to identify the pluripetency of these iPSC lines. In addition, neurons were derived from these iPSC by inhibiting transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway. Results: The SE-iPSC exhibited morphological and growth characteristics of human embryonic stem cell (hES), showed positivity for AKP by histochemical staining, and expressed embryonic stem cell (ESC) marker genes. There was a significant statistical difference in ESC-marker mRNA expression between the SE-iPSC and the urine cells [NANOG mRNA (2^-ΔΔCt): 1.153±0.142 vs. 0.126±0.024, t = -10.688; REX1 mRNA (2^-ΔΔCt): 1.419±0.206 vs. 0.103±0.066, t = -14.245; OCT4 mRNA (2^-ΔΔCt): 1.233±0.176 vs. 0.201±0.022, t = -9.028; Sox2 mRNA (2^-ΔΔCt): 1.334±0.119 vs. 0.159±0.017, t = -12.653, all P < 0.01]. Subcutaneous injection of iPSC into NOD-SCID mice resulted in teratomas containing tissues from all the 3 germ layers. Furthermore, neurons were successfully induced from SE-iPSC. Conclusion The SE patient-specific iPSC could be generated from urine cells and differentiated into neurons, furthermore, the SE-iPSC cell line can be used as models for further elucidating the cellular pathology and developing therapeutic strategies for SE.

Pulmonary benign metastasizing leiomyoma (PBML) is a rare and otfen to be misdiagnosed disease. In this study, we want to investigate the diseased of the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. hTe retrospective analysis were performed on the clinicopathological data of 5 patients with PBML. All 5 cases were female, mean age 46.8 years old, and were found with single nodule. One case was found with letf kidney metastasis. Surgical procedures in-cludes:VATS biopsy (3 cases), resection of superior lobe of letf lung (1 case), resection of superior lobe of right lung and wedge resection of middle and inferior lobe of right lung (1 case). hTe residual nodules in lung were stable in all cases with followup 3-48 mo. PBML is dominated occurring in females with history of uterine leiomyoma, preferential to metastasize to lung, and surgery is the primary therapy. Since it is hormone dependent, hormonal therapy may be suggested in these patients.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of CXCR7 knock-down by CXCR7-shRNA lentiviral vector on the proliferation and invasion of human hepatoma carcinoma cells in vitro.

METHODSCXCR7-shRNA lentiviral vector was transfected into hepatocellular carcinoma HCCLM3 cells. The changes in mRNA and protein expression of CXCR7 in the transfected cells were investigated using real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively, and MTT assay was employed to assess the cell proliferation changes. In vitro adhesion assay and transwell chamber test were used to observe the adhesion and invasiveness of HCCLM3 cells, respectively.

RESULTSTransfection of HCCLM3 cells with CXCR7-shRNA lentiviral vector resulted in a significantly decreased expression of CXCR7 at both mRNA and protein levels (P<0.01) and obvious suppression of the cell proliferative activity (P<0.05). CXCR7-shRNA also significantly suppressed the invasiveness and adhesion of HCCLM3 cells (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONCXCR7 knock-down can significantly inhibit the proliferation and invasiveness of human hepatoma carcinoma cells in vitro, suggesting the value of CXCR7 as a potential target for hepatoma carcinoma therapy.

Objective To observe the effects of 131I treatment on circulating granulocyte colonystimulating factor (G-CSF) and leucocyte levels of patients with Graves' disease (GD).Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),coulter three assortments,and radioimmunoassay were used to test the levels of circulating G-CSF,leucocytes and thyroid hormones of 65 incipient and untreated GD patients,all females,aged 21 -50,43 with normal leucocyte level and 22 with leucopenia before and after 131I treatment.Thirty age-matched healthy female subjects were used as controls.Results Before 131I treatment,the serous G-CSF level of the GD patients with normal leucocyte level was (28.4 ± 11.7)μg/L,significantly higher than that of the control [ ( 18.3 ± 6.98) μg/L,t =2.376,P ＜ 0.05 ].The serous G-CSF level of the GD patients with leucopenia was (40.1 ± 13.8 ) μg/L,significantly higher than that of the patients with normal leucocyte level ( t =2.788,P ＜ 0.01 ) and that of the control ( t =3.672,P＜0.01 ).180 d after the initiation of 131 I treatment,the G-CSF level of the patients with normal leucocyte level was (18.9 ± 8.32) μg/L,not significantly different from that of the normal controls,however,the G-CSF level of the GD patients with leucopenia was (25.7 ± 11.5) μg/L,still significantly higher than that of the normal control (t =2.103,P ＜ 0.05).The serous G-CSF level was negatively correlated with the titer of leucocyte ( r =- 0.38,P ＜ 0.05 ),however,not significantly correlated with such clinical parameters,as free triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4) and thyrotropin-stimulating hormone (TSH).Conclusions Abnormal increment of G-CSF is observed in the GD patients,which may be related to the decrease of leucocyte.Effectively suppressing the auto-immune status in the GD patients,131I treatment is a safe and reliable therapy for GD patients with leucopenia and should be used as early as possible.

Hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) is a "master" gene in the cell hypoxia response network. HIF-1alpha plays the key role on VEGF-dependent angiogenesis during tumor development. In this study, the siRNA expressive vector targeting HIF-1alpha was constructed. HepG2 cells were tranfected with an HIF-1alpha siRNA vector and exposed to a normoxic or hypoxic environment. mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1alpha and VEGF were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot at different cell culture environment. The mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1alpha was inhibited by RNA interference. The obvious decreases of mRNA and protein of VEGF was induced by HIF-1alpha gene knock-down. Our study indicated that HIF-1alpha regulated the expression of VEGF and hence promoted angiogenesis in liver cancer under hypoxic environment. The expression of VEGF was downregulated via HIF-1alpha gene knock-down. These results suggest that HIF-1alpha may be used as a good target gene for anti-angiogenesis in liver tumors.
