ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism of pathological changes in osteoarthritis (OA) through applying bioinformatics to analyze the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network.Methods:MiRNA expression data from human serum samples were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Differentially-expressed miRNA was identified using the linear modelling package of the Bioconductor software suite. The target differentially-expressed mRNA was predicted using version 2.0 of the miRWalk database. Version 3.7.1 of the Cytoscape software was used to construct the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network for OA. The target genes were analyzed by using gene ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes. The protein-protein interaction network was constructed and the core genes in osteoarthritis pathology were screened out.Results:A total of 7 differentially-expressed miRNAs (all down-regulated) and 900 mRNAs were identified, mostly involved in the negative regulation of protein binding, DNA binding, or transcription in the cell cycle. Ten core genes were screened out: MAPK1, TP53, MAPK14, CCND1, EP300, POLR2E, POLR2F, ABL1, RAC1 and SKIV2L2.Conclusions:Multiple miRNAs, target genes and signaling pathways are involved in the development of OA. The miRNA-mRNA regulatory network identified provides new ideas for exploring the molecular mechanism of OA′s pathology and its clinical diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To draw up the learning strategy scale for vocational nursing students and discuss its characteristics. Methods Structure model of learning strategies was constructed by summarizing and analyzing current learning connotation and structure research, through the view of application combining with theory. Results The results showed that the learning strategy of the vocational nursing students included five factors: cognitive strategy, meta-cognitive strategy, emotions regulation strategy, resource management strategy and practical operation strategy. Conclusions The strategy scale is very reliable and valid and can be used to measure these learning strategies. Results also indicates that excellent students show much more profitable strategies than students of lower levels, no difference is found in different grades.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the current status of learning motivation of high vocational nursing students, In order to increase their learning effect and teach quality. Methods 334 high vocational nursing students were investigated with college students learning motivation questionnaire, the results underwent analysis. Results High vocational nursing students had low learning motivation, their learning motivation was diversified. Significant difference existed between top students and low students. Conclusions High vocational nursing students had weak learning motivation, and is not related with grades and source places. It had individual orientation and utility color, but low social property. Learning motivation is an important factors for academic achievement.
ABSTRACT
Acupuncture and rehabilitation therapies were used to treat 40 cases of shoulder-hand syndrome, the results show that integration of acupuncture and rehabilitation can increase therapeutic effects and shorten treatment courses to accelerate recovery.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the changes of immune function in liver cirrhosis patients after splenectomy combined with resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sixteen patients with HCC associated with liver cirrhosis were divided into two groups: splenectomy combined with hepatectomy (n = 7) and hepatectomy (n = 9). T-lymphocyte subsets such as CD4, CD8, CD4/CD8 and Th-lymphocyte cytokines such as IFN-gamma, IL2, IL10 in 7 ml peripheral venous blood before operation and two months after operation were examined and compared between the two groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no significant difference in pre-operative CD4, CD4/CD8, IL2, IFN-gamma, IL10 levels in the two group. Two months after operation, the levels of CD4 (38.2% +/- 3.7%), CD4/CD8 (1.7 +/- 0.3), IFN-gamma [(104.4 +/- 14.9) pg/ml], IL2 [(98.6 +/- 18.6) pg/ml] were increased and those of CD8 (23.7 +/- 13.7) pg/ml and IL10 [(55.5 +/- 11.2) pn/ml] were decreased in the two groups, but the changes in the group of splenectomy combined with hepatectomy were more obvious than those in the hepatectomy group. The levels of CD4 (32.5% +/- 4.0%), CD4/CD8 (1.1 +/- 0.1), IFN-gamma [(70.5 +/- 12.6) pg/ml], IL2 [(80.9 +/- 13.5) pg/ml] in the group of splenectomy combined with hepatectomy, were much higher than those in the hepatectomy group; those of CD8 (29.4% +/- 4.0%), IL10 [(89.4 +/- 10.0) pg/ml] level were significantly lower than those in the hepatectomy (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Splenectomy combined with hepatectomy for HCC associated with liver cirrhosis donor decrease but promote the recover T-lymphocyte subsets and Th1/Th2 cytokines from imbalance and improve the patient's antitumor immune function.</p>

Objective To study T lymphocyte subsets immunological condition of spleen in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) with liver cirrhosis. Methods T lymphocyte subsets such as CD4,CD8,CD4/CD8 in peripheral and spleen venous blood in 31 cases of PHC with liver cirrhosis were detected by FCM.and 13 patients with liver cirrhosis were observed as the control group. Results In 6 patients with stage Ⅰ liver cancer, CD8 of peripheral venous blood significantly decreased (P
