Analysis of mental health status of Hainan residents / 中国热带医学

@#Abstract: Objective To understand the mental health literacy level of residents in Hainan Province, and to provide evidence for promoting mental health promotion and improving the mental health literacy level of residents. Methods Multi-stage random sampling method was used to investigate The National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire among 6 895 residents in 12 districts including Changjiang, Chengmai, Dongfang, Ledong, Lingshui, Haikou Longhua District, Haikou Meilan District, Qionghai, Sanya, Tunchang, Wenchang and Wuzhishan. Results　In the survey 6 895 residents in 12 counties, cities, districts of Hainan Province, 365 of them reached the standard of mental health with the standard rate of 5.3%. The mental health knowledge score was (54.00±17.02) with the standard rate of 7.7%; the self-assessment score was (26.11±3.99) with the standard rate of 75.9%; the score of mental health skill was (26.22±7.25) with the standard rate of 44.8%. The mental health literacy level of medical workers was the highest, with the standard rate of 13.5% (112/830), and the mental health literacy level of farmers was the lowest, with the standard rate of 0.8% (13/1 647). The results of unconditional Logistic regression showed that the factors entering the regression model included educational background (OR=2.268), personal monthly income (OR=1.129), gender (OR=1.302), household registration (OR=0.776), and whether they had participated in mental health related courses OR training (OR=0.511). The higher the educational background and personal monthly income, the higher the psychological quality. The mental health of women was higher than that of men, and that of urban was higher than that of rural, and those who had participated in mental health related courses were higher than those who had not. Conclusions The mental health literacy level of Hainan residents is at a low level, and the influencing factors are multifaceted. It is suggested to strengthen the mental health monitoring comprehensively and carry out rich health education service mode for different groups.

Study on Anti-tumor Targets and Associated Therapeutics / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

@#Anti-cancer targeted therapy “(targeted” cancer therapy) is the use of small molecule drugs or antibodies themselves, guided by specific targeting tools, to attack tumor cells and their microenvironment or activate the body’s immune response. The rapid development of targeted therapy has enabled specific anti- tumor therapies to be achieved, which has taken us another step closer to our ultimate goal of treating tumors, that is, to effectively kill tumors without harming normal tissues. This article reviews the related contents of tumor targeted therapy, such as tumor-associated antigens, antibodies, and targeting strategies and also elaborates on the research in this field in combination with the study of our team.

Long Non-Coding RNA Expression Profile in Vascular Endothelial Cells before and after Infected by Dengue Virus Type Ι / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

@#【Objective】 To use high- throughout sequencing technologies for examining differentially expressed long non-coding RNA（lncRNA）in human umbilical vein endothelial cell（HUVEC）infected by dengue virus type Ι（DENV-1）， to analyze and explore the potential molecular mechanisms of HUVEC dysfunction or damage.【Methods】After 24 hours of DENV-1 infection，RNA samples were extracted from control groups and viral groups. Sequencing and the differentially expressed lncRNAs were screened ，and then GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were conducted and a co- expression network map was constructed.【Results】In contrast to the control group，there were 2 623 lncRNA expressed differently， among which 1 441 were up-regulated，while 1 182 were down-regulated. It was found that the differentially expressed lncRNA and the predicted corresponding target genes were mainly distributed in the regions of biological processes of antigen presentation，interferon synthesis，apoptosis and cell adhesion. 【Conclusion】After HUVEC were infected with DENV-1，lncRNA expression profile changes significantly，which is closely related to the occurrence and development of dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome（DHF/DSS）.

Andrographolide as an anti-H1N1 drug and the mechanism related to retinoic acid-inducible gene-I-like receptors signaling pathway / 中国结合医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the anti-virus effects of andrographolide (AD) on the retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I)-like receptors (RLRs) signaling pathway when immunological cells were infected with H1N1.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Leukomonocyte was obtained from umbilical cord blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation, and immunological cells were harvested after cytokines stimulation. Virus infected cell model was established by H1N1 co-cultured with normal human bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE). The optimal concentration of AD was defined by methyl-thiazolyl-tetrazolium (MTT) assay. After the virus infected cell model was established, AD was added into the medium as a treatment intervention. After 24-h co-culture, cell supernatant was collected for interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detection while immunological cells for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The optimal concentration of AD for anti-virus effect was 250 μg/mL. IL-4 and IFN-γ in the supernatant and mRNA levels in RLRs pathway increased when cells was infected by virus, RIG-I, IFN-β promoter stimulator-1 (IPS-1), interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-7, IRF-3 and nuclear transcription factor κB (NF-κB) mRNA levels increased significantly (P<0.05). When AD was added into co-culture medium, the levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ were lower than those in the non-interference groups and the mRNA expression levels decreased, RIG-I, IPS-1, IRF-7, IRF-3 and NF-κB decreased significantly in each group with significant statistic differences (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The RLRs mediated viral recognition provided a potential molecular target for acute viral infections and andrographolide could ameliorate H1N1 virus-induced cell mortality. And the antiviral effects might be related to its inhibition of viral-induced activation of the RLRs signaling pathway.</p>

Radiosensitization of microRNA-17-92 on human mantle cell lymphoma cells in vitro / 中华放射医学与防护杂志

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA-17-92 on radiosensitivity of human mantle cell lymphoma cells. Methods Tetracycline-regulated pRevTet-On expression system was established to generate cell line Z138c-miR-17-92 with over-expressed miR-17-92 and cell line Z138c-TMP2. Cell proliferation was measured by 3 H-TdR incorporation and viable cell counting stained with typan blue. Cell cycle distribution was analysed by flow cytometry(FCM). Results More viable and proliferous cells were counted in group miR-17-92,when exposure dose was greater than 2 Gy and incubation time was longer than 48 h under the same condition (t = -3. 12 and -3.28,P ＜0. 05). The percentage of G2/M cells in group TMP2 was increased while no obvious cell cycle arrests were found in group miR-17-92 at 2 and 4 Gy (t = 2. 885, P ＜ 0.05 ). When cells were incubated for 96 h, higher percentage of propidium iodide (PI) positively stained cells were found in group TMP2 (24. 02% vs. 36. 16% )compared with group miR-17-92 (6.49% vs. 11.39% ) at 2 and 4 Gy, respectively( t = - 17.59, - 4. 972, P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Overexpression of microRNA-17-92 decreased the radiosensitivity of human mantle cell lymphoma cells by inhibition of cell cycle changes and cell apoptosis.
