ABSTRACT
Abstract@#The outbreak of tuberculosis in campus shows a profound impact on academic learning and mental health of students, which might result in more serious social problems. The present editorial addresses weak links in the school tuberculosis prevention and control. Disease prevention and control institutions, medical institutions, education administrative departments and schools need to clarify work responsibilities, strictly implement the school tuberculosis prevention and control laws, regulations and management guidelines, and coordinate with multiple departments, with the aim to strengthen early warning capacity for campus tuberculosis, improve tuberculosis screening and risk assessment of relevant personnel, and implement the health checkup of schools and faculty, as well as the screening, diagnosis, registration, treatment and follow up of students cases. To further improve tuberculosis control across China, strengthening the awareness of tuberculosis prevention and control among institutions and the public, and improving adherence to tuberculosis treatment, as well as moving forward from passive to active tuberculosis monitoring and early prevention, reducing the occurrence of tuberculosis outbreak in school should be prioritized, so as to promote the smooth development of tuberculosis prevention and control work in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the differences in gene expression between human lung giant cell carcinoma cell strains of high metastatic 95D and low metastatic 95C and to screen lung cancer metastasis-associated genes using cDNA microarray.Methods The mRNAs were extracted from human lung giant cell carcinoma cell strains of high metastatic 95D and low metastatic 95C,and reversely transcribed to the cDNAs and labeled by Cy5-dUTP and Cy3-dUTP to prepare the hybridization probes.The mixed probes were hybridized to the cDNA microarray chip.The information was obtained by managing the cDNA microarray chip with Scan Array 3000 scanner and ImaGene3.0 software.A part of genes whose expressions changed in cDNA microarray analysis were further identified by RT-PCR.Results The cDNA microarray analysis showed that the expressions of 466 genes changed,among which 108 pairs of Double Gene had the same GenBank ID and some of the genes,including Fln29,RUVBL2,C14orf3 et al,were further confirmed by RT-PCR.The results of RT-PCR was coincided well with the cDNA microarray results.Conclusion Many different genes are involved in the metastasis of lung cancer.cDNA microarray technique might be a useful method in screening lung cancer metastasis-associated genes.
