Analysis of DNA methylation with 5-Azac induced immune hyporesponsiveness following acute graft-versus-host disease / 天津医药

Objective To analyse the change of DNA methylation with 5-Azac injection in acute graft-versus-host dis- ease (aGVHD) mouse model, which received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, and explore the immunomodulatory ef-fects of 5-Azac. Methods Male C57BL/6 (H-2b)and female BALB/c (H-2d) mice were selected as donor and recipient of complete allotransplantation. BABL/c mice were divided into two groups, transplantation control group and 5-Azac experi-mental group. At 1-7, 14, 21 and 28-day after transplantion, 5-Azac 0.25 mg/kg (0.3 mL/time) was injected by tail vein in experimental group, while the control group were injected with sterile water 0.3 mL/time. Peripheral blood DNA samples were collected from three control mice and three experimental mice, then mixed with equal amount respectively. The MeDIP-seq method was selected to detect methylation changes in mice, and the differential DNA methylation in the biological path-ways was analyzed. Results The survival time was prolonged, and the rejection reaction was decreased in 5-Azac experi-mental group, which suggested immune hyporesponsiveness post aGVHD. The MeDIP-seq result showed that 369 different DNA methylation located in the promoter regions, including 239 up-regulated genes and 130 down-regulated genes. There were 184 differential DNA methylation genes located in the exon regions, including 113 up-regulated genes and 71 down-regulated genes. Differential DNA methylation genes involved in 10 immunological signaling pathways, respectively. Among them, TGF-β, GSK-3β, SYK, PI3K, NFAT, CD28 andα4β7 were closely related to the development of aGVHD. Conclu-sion 5-Azac can effectively induce immune hyporesponsiveness post aGVHD by changing the gene methylation status.

Discussion on converging the doctor workstation with the epidemic information monitoring and reporting system / 中华医院管理杂志

The networked epidemic information reporting management system and reporting mechanism of the hospital was called into play,embedding the reporting system into the outpatient and resident workstations of the hospital's IT management system.Such a networked platform enables the overall coverage and real-time reporting,monitoring and prewarning of hospital-wide epidemic information,providing reliable support for control and prevention of hospital epidemic control.
