Objective To explore the public's cognition and attitude towards general medicine,general practitioners,and pre-hospital first-aid knowledge in Ludian County,Yunnan Province,to find out the training and learning methods that are more acceptable to the public for this kind of related knowledge,and to propose targeted solutions.Methods A complete random sampling survey was conducted among the nucleic acid collection office at the gate of the vegetable market from October 15,2022,to December 30,2022,and the outpatient clinic of Wenping Street Health Center from January 1,2023,to February 28,2023,by using electronic questionnaire and paper questionnaire.Results Nearly 50%of the people in Ludian County of Yunnan Province lack the knowledge of general medicine and pre-hospital emergency care,especially the knowledge of electrical defibrillation.People with higher education and the medical profession have a higher understanding of general medicine,and people with a higher understanding of general medicine are more willing to participate in pre-hospital emergency care.The average Ridit value is:very familiar with general medicine(0.774)>Knowledge of some general practices(0.565)>Never heard of general practice(0.400).The higher education level and the more comprehensive understanding of general medicine had a positive impact on participation in pre-hospital emergency care,with B values of 0.624 and 0.619,OR 95%CI of 1.867(1.544～2.257)and 1.857(1.298～2.657),respectively.Taking medical staff as a reference,the B value of medical students was = 0.942,P = 0.234,the difference was not significant,and the B value of non-medical professional population was all less than 0,the effect is negative.In addition,most people have a positive attitude towards learning pre-hospital first aid,and more than 70%of people are willing to learn and train related knowledge of pre-hospital first aid.Conclusions People in urban areas of Ludian County,Yunnan Province have poor understanding of general practice,low recognition of general practitioners,low demand for general practitioners,and lack of awareness of the importance of pre-hospital emergency treatment.Because of the cognitive differences among different groups,it is necessary to conduct specific training for different groups.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of clinical cellular immunity and its relationship with prognosis in elderly patients with severe infection caused by Omicron variant.Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with Omicron variant infection admitted to the geriatric Intensive Care Unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from December 2022 to February 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into 22 survival cases and 31 death cases for comparison between the two groups.Logistic analysis is adopted to define the omicron variants of elderly severe infections prognostic factors and construct the ROC curve.Results Mu-ltivariate logistic analysis revealed that the independent risk factors were elevated IL-6(P = 0.043)and decreased absolute T lymphocyte count(P = 0.011).AUC value of ROC of IL-6,absolute T lymphocyte count and IL-6 combined with absolute T lymphocyte count was 0.818,0.796 and 0.887.Conclusion Elevated IL-6 and decreased absolute T lymphocyte count are independent risk factors for elderly severe patients with Omicron variant infections.

Objective:To study the expression and clinical significance of microRNA-574-3p (miR-574-3p) in colon cancer.Methods:A total of 106 colon cancer patients who were admitted to the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao and Shijiazhuang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June 2012 to June 2015 were selected as the research objects. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression level of miR-574-3p in colon cancer tissues and normal adjacent tissues. The relationship between the expression of miR-574-3p and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with colon cancer was analyzed. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the relationship between the expression of miR-574-3p and the expression of CyclinA2 or E-cadherin.Results:Compared with normal tissues adjacent to cancer, the expression level of miR-574-3p in 106 cases of colon cancer was significantly lower ( P<0.01). The decreased expression of miR-574-3p was related to tumor diameter, Dukes stage, histological grade and lymph node metastasis (all P<0.05), but not to age and tumor location (all P>0.05). The patients with low expression of miR-574-3p, high Dukes stage and histological grade, and lymph node metastasis had poor survival (all P<0.05). The 5-year overall survival rate of patients with decreased miR-574-3p expression in cancer tissue was significantly lower than that of patients without decreased miR-574-3p expression ( P=0.007 6). Compared with patients with no decreased miR-574-3p expression, patients with decreased miR-574-3p expression had higher CyclinA2 protein integrated optical density (IOD) value and lower E-cadherin protein IOD value in colon cancer tissues (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The decreased expression of miR-574-3p is related to the poor prognosis of colon cancer patients, which may affect tumor recurrence and metastasis by regulating the expression of CyclinA2 and E-cadherin proteins.

Objective:To evaluate the curative effect of Moshen Decoction combined with routine western medicine on idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) of spleen-kidney qi deficiency syndrome and explore its influences on renal function, C1q, PLA2R and E-cadherin levels.Methods:A total of 62 patients with IMN meeting inclusion criteria in the hospital were enrolled between January 2018 and January 2021. According to simple random grouping method, they were divided into control group (hormones combined with cyclophosphamide) and observation group (Moshen Decoction on basis of control group), 31 in each group. Both groups were treated continuously for 6 months. Before and after treatment, TCM syndromes were scored. The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (SCr), cystatin C (Cys-C), anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and E-cadherin (EC) were detected by ELISA. The level of serum complement C1q was detected by immunoturbidimetry. The 24 h urine was collected for quantitative determination by full-automatic biochemical analyzer. The adverse events during treatment were observed and recorded. And clinical curative effect was evaluated.Results:The differences in total response rate between observation group and control group were statistically significant [93.55% (29/31) vs. 74.19% (23/31); χ2=4.29, P=0.038]. After treatment, scores of TCM syndromes (edema of lower limbs, fatigue and poor appetite, lusterless complexion) in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=10.07, 10.80, 4.34, 4.57, P<0.001). After treatment, levels of serum Cys-C [(0.51±0.05) mg/L vs. (0.55±0.06) mg/L, t=2.85], 24 h urine protein quantification [(0.95±0.19) g vs. (1.38±0.23) g, t=13.32] in observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01), and levels of serum PLA2R [(17.53±1.84) Ru/ml vs. (19.62±2.05) Ru/ml, t=4.22], EC [(2.74±0.26) μg/L vs. (3.05±0.37) μg/L, t=3.82] and complement C1q [(152.34±15.62) mg/L vs. (169.33±16.77) mg/L, t=4.13] in observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). During treatment, there was no significant difference in incidence of adverse events between observation group and control group [12.90% (4/31) vs. 16.13% (5/31); χ2=0.13, P=0.781]. Conclusion:Moshen Decoction combined with routine western medicine can improve renal function and clinical curative effect in patients with IMN of spleen-kidney qi deficiency syndrome. Its mechanism of action may be related to reducing urine protein, complement C1q, PLA2R and EC.

Objective:To explore the application effect of situational case-based learning (CBL) teaching method in the surgical animal experiment course.Methods:The five-year clinical medicine students of the Batch 2016 teaching reform classes in Inner Mongolia Medical University were selected as the research objects. The teaching reform Class 1 was the control group, and the teaching reform Class 2 was the experimental group, with 36 students in each group. The control group adopted traditional teaching, while the experimental group introduced situational CBL teaching. The mid-term assessment of the course was carried out, using a multi-station examination including theory and skill operation. At the same time, a questionnaire survey of course satisfaction was carried out among the two groups of students. SPSS 22.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:The theoretical performance of the experimental group (72.44 ±7.91) was significantly higher than that of the control group (60.49±8.23), and the performance of skill operation (77.69±7.13) was significantly higher than that of the control group (60.58±8.91). The course satisfaction of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group.Conclusion:The introduction of situational CBL teaching could significantly improve the classroom teaching effect of surgical animal experiments, and be beneficial for medical students to master the basic skills of surgery and the related general theory knowledge of clinical medicine.

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system is a hotspot of gene editing and gene expression research, in which CRISPR/Cas13 system provides a new direction for RNA interference and editing. In this study, we designed and synthesized the corresponding gRNAs of CRISPR/Cas13a and CRISPR/Cas13b systems in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway, such as Ku70 and Lig4, and then detected the expression of ku70 and lig4 in HEK293T cells. The CRISPR/Cas13a system could efficiently knockdown the mRNA expression of ku70 and lig4 more than 50%, and CRISPR/Cas13b system also suppressed ku70 and lig4 about 92% and 76%, respectively. Also, CRISPR/Cas13a, b systems could down-regulate Ku70 and Lig4 proteins level to 68% and 53%, respectively. The study demonstrates that the CRISPR/Cas13 system could effectively knockdown the expression of RNA and protein in HEK293T cells, providing a new strategy for gene function and regulation research.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Forkhead Box G1 (FOXG1) on the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and the underlying mechanism. For this purpose, FOXG1 lentiviral interference (shRNA) plasmid and expression plasmid were constructed. Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of FOXG1 protein in five CRC cells, namely RKO, SW480, SW620, LoVo and DLD-1. The shRNA fragment of FOXG1 (shFOXG1) was designed and synthesized. Recombinant plasmids were obtained with the aid of DNA recombination technique. Double digestion and sequencing were used to identify the recombinant plasmids, and then lentivirus packaging, purification and stable transfection were carried out. Additionally, stable CRC cell lines were screened out. The changes of FOXG1 knockdown and overexpression efficiency, E-cadherin, Vimentin, Fibronectin, Snail, Twist mRNA and protein were investigated respectively by Western blotting and qRT-PCR analysis. Furthermore, the changes of cell morphology after knockdown and cell migration ability were evaluated respectively with optical microscopy, scratch test and Transwell assay. FOXG1 had the highest protein expression in RKO and the lowest in DLD-1 among the five CRC cells. Compared with those of the control group, the cell morphology in FOXG1 knockdown RKO group was changed from spindle into round or polygonal shape, cell polarization was enhanced and tight junction assembly was acclerated while cell migration distance was noticeably decreased. Moreover, the number of cells invaded and migrated through chambers was significantly reduced. Among these key factors of EMT, the expression of E-cadherin was increased while the expressions of Vimentin, Fibronectin, Snail and Twist were decreased. The opposite was the case in the overexpressed FOXG1 group. The overexpression of FOXG1 in CRC promoted the invasion and metastasis of CRC cells and played a crucial role in regulating the EMT. Thus, FOXG1 might be a novel therapeutic target in CRC treatment.

Objective: To investigate the effect of recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor 2 (rhKGF-2) on lung tissue of rabbits with severe smoke inhalation injury. Methods: A total of 120 New Zealand rabbits were divided into 5 groups by random number table after being inflicted with severe smoke inhalation injury, with 24 rats in each group. Rabbits in the simple injury group inhaled air, while rabbits in the injury+phosphate buffer solution (PBS) group inhaled 5 mL PBS once daily for 7 d. Rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group received aerosol inhalation of 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, and 5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 (all dissolved in 5 mL PBS) once daily for 7 d, respectively. On treatment day 1, 3, 5, and 7, blood samples were taken from the ear central artery of 6 rabbits in each group. After the blood was taken, the rabbits were sacrificed, and the tracheal carina tissue and lung were collected. Blood pH value, arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂), arterial blood carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO₂), and bicarbonate ion were detected by handheld blood analyzer. The expressions of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A (SP-A) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in lung tissue were detected by Western blotting. Pathomorphology of lung tissue and trachea was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Data were processed with analysis of variance of two-way factorial design and Tukey test. Results: (1) Compared with those in simple injury group, the blood pH values of rabbits in the latter groups on treatment day 1-7 had no obvious change (P>0.05). The PaO₂ of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were (75.0±2.4) and (71.0±4.5) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), respectively, which were significantly higher than (62.0±6.8) and (63.0±3.0) mmHg in simple injury group (q=4.265, 8.202, P<0.05 or P<0.01). The PaO₂ of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was (82.0±4.9) mmHg, which was significantly higher than that in simple injury group (q=6.234, P<0.01). Compared with that in simple injury group, the PaCO₂ of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 was significantly decreased (q=4.876, P<0.01) and significantly increased on treatment day 5 (q=5.562, P<0.01); the PaCO₂ of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group was significantly increased on treatment day 5 and 7 (q=5.013, 4.601, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with that in simple injury group, the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was significantly increased (q=5.142, P<0.01); the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were significantly increased (q=4.830, 6.934, P<0.01); the serum bicarbonate ion of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 were significantly increased (q=3.973, P<0.05). (2) The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in simple injury group and injury+PBS group in each treatment time point were close (P>0.05). The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 were 0.091±0.007 and 0.101±0.009, respectively, significantly higher than 0.069±0.009 in simple injury group (q=10.800, 13.580, P<0.01). The expressions of SP-A in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+1 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group, and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 5 and 7 were 0.127±0.008, 0.132±0.006, 0.194±0.006, 0.152±0.017, 0.166±0.004, 0.240±0.008, significantly higher than 0.092±0.003 and 0.108±0.005 in simple injury group (q=6.789, 12.340, 17.900, 9.875, 31.480, 40.740, P<0.01). (3) On treatment day 1 and 5, there was no significant difference in the expression of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits among the 5 groups (P>0.05). Compared with those in simple injury group, the expressions of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 3 and 7 were significantly increased (q=4.243, 8.000, P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the expression of VEGF in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group on treatment day 7 was significantly increased (q=20.720, P<0.01). (4) On treatment day 1, the injury of rabbits in each group was similar, with a large number of neutrophils infiltrated and abscess formed in the alveolar and interstitial tissue, thickened alveolar septum, some collapsed alveolar and atelectasis; large area of tracheal mucosa was degenerated and necrotic, with a large amount of inflammatory exudates blocking in the cavity. On treatment day 3, the inflammation of lung tissue and trachea in each group were improved, but the inflammation in simple injury group and injury+PBS group was also serious. On treatment day 5, the inflammation in lung tissue and trachea of rabbits in injury+2 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group and injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group were improved much obviously than those in the other groups. On treatment day 7, the inflammation in lung tissue of rabbits in injury+5 mg/kg rhKGF-2 group alleviated obviously than those in the other groups, most alveoli had no obvious exudative fluid, the alveolar cavity was intact and clear, the local alveolar dilated like a cyst, and the alveolar septum thinning; the improvement of inflammation of trachea was more obvious than the other groups, the tracheal mucosa tended to be more complete, and few neutrophils were infiltrated in the endotracheal cavity. Conclusions Atomization inhalation of rhKGF-2 can improve the PaO₂ level of rabbits with severe smoke inhalation injury, reduce airway inflammation, increase the expression of SP-A and VEGF in lung tissue, thus promoting the repair of lung tissue.
